Lyrics

1. HUNGRY FOR HEAVEN

You're a dancer but you're dancing on air
Just a matter of time till you fall
You're a dreamer, one night at the fair
But still you want it all
You're in danger, the last of a line
But the vision lasts forever

So just hold on
You can make it happen for you
Reach for the stars and you will fly

You're hungry for heaven
Hungry for heaven
Hungry for heaven
But you need a little help

You're a runner but you're chasing yourself
Feel the hot breath on your shoulder
You're emotion, running cold, running warm
The young just getting older
We are sunlight, we can sparkle and shine
And our dreams are what we're made of

Oh just hold on
You can make it happen for you
Reach for the stars and you will fly

You're hungry for heaven
Hungry for heaven
Hungry for heaven
But you need a little help

Oh hungry

You're hungry for heaven
Hungry for heaven
Hungry for heaven
Hungry for heaven


2. HIDE IN THE RAINBOW

Yes, the best steel goes through the fire
And you seem to burn
The dead man's always a liar
Look out, there's another one learning
Too late for tomorrow
There's only today
So take your magic carpet ride

Hide in the rainbow
Hide in the rainbow

Oh the last one out of thunder
He will always survive
But if you are starting to wonder
No, no, you can never surrender
You see through the mystery
And now you can fly
So take your magic carpet ride

Hide in the rainbow
Oh to hide, yeah
Hide in the rainbow

Hide in the rainbow
Ride to the sun, yeah

Now the best steel goes through the fire
And you seem to burn
The dead man's always a liar
Look out, there's another one learning

Got to hide in the rainbow
Hide in the rainbow


3. SHAME ON THE NIGHT

Shame on the night

For places I've been, and what I've seen
For giving me the strangest dreams
But you never let me know just what they mean
And oooohhh.... so Shame on the Night... Alright..

And shame on You

You've stolen the day, snatched away
But I saw the sky and I never wanna die
Now you know the reason why I say
Oooohhh... Shame on the Night

You don't care what you've done
So I think I better run
Shame on the sun

For the lights you've sold
I've lost my home
On the Magic Flame, but now I know your name
Oh Lord just go away and tell again
Ooooooohhh.... Oh! Shame on the night!

You dont care what you've done
So I know I better run........( fades )

Shame on the Night

For places Ive been, and what I've seen
For giving me the strangest dreams
You never never never know just what they mean
And ooooohh... Shame on the night

You dont care what youve done
Here I go, Ive got to run.......

Shame on the night
Shame shame on you
Shame on my dreams
Shame on the sun and You
Shame on the night
Well I lost my home on the Magic Flame, but now
I know your name

Shame on the night
Shame on you..... Shame on ALL of you
Shame on the night

Now im just a worthless Diver...


4. EGYPT (THE CHAINS ARE ON)

In the land of the lost horizon
Where the queen lies dark and cold
When the stars won't shine, then the story's told

When the world was milk and honey
And the magic was strong and true
Then the strange ones came and the people knew

That the chains are on

In the land of no tomorrow
Where you pray just to end each day
And your life just slowly melts away

Each day you hear the sand as it moves and whispers
Come and sail on my golden sea
Maybe one day you'll be just like me...and that's free

But still your chains are on

You've seen them walking on the water
You've seen flying through the sky
They were frightening in the darkness
They had rainbows in their eyes

When the world was milk and honey
And the magic was strong and true
The the strange ones came and the people knew

That the chains are on
