1. PICTURES OF A GONE WORLD

(Instrumental)


2. EVERYBODY LAY DOWN

Everybody go round, go round, go round
Everybody lay down, lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down
Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough, hang tough
Life a little too rough
Everybody lay down

[Chorus:]
Everybody say hey, Don't nobody say no?
Everybody say wait, Don't nobody say go?
Everybody lay down

Everybody cry loud, cry loud, cry loud
Nobody too proud, too proud, too proud
To tell you what they're all about
Everybody lay down

Everybody don't care, don't care, don't care
Nobody play fair, play fair, play fair
Maybe everybody too scared
Everybody lay down

[Chorus]

Everybody lookin' higher
Everybody want to touch the fire
Nobody willing to lay it all down

Everybody want heaven
Everybody say Amen
One thing is certain, you gotta lay it all down

[Chorus]

Everybody go round, go round, go
Everybody lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down

Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough
When it's just a little rough, everybody lay down

[Chorus] (x2)


3. SOMEBODY'S BABY

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
Someone cared if he lived or died
Someone held him in their arms - when he cried
And when he hurt, someone kept the world away
Someone loved him, someone loved him

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
He used to matter

That was then, that was so long ago
Long before they came and took his soul
Long before he became invisible
That was when, he wasn't human garbage then

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
He used to matter
He used to be somebody's baby


4. TIES THAT BLIND

Anger shakes the house of cards
Loving cup upon the bars
We bend the truth to help us through the night
Tempers thrown against the wall
Shattered like an empty glass
Nothin' can save us from our own selves tonight
Anger is a might sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes bling one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind
Hey, Hey

There's an edge within my voice
Helps me win when I should lose
We pick and choose our weapons carefully
Words are twisted like a fist
Behind our backs no slight of hand
No battle ever ended in a kiss

Anger is a might sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes bling one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind
Hey, Hey

Anger shakes the house of cards
Loving cup upon the bars
We bend the truth to help us through the night

Anger is a might sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes bling one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind


5. YOU AND I

Are you lonely tonight?
Are you thinking about me?
Did you ever wonder how should I feel?
Close your eyes now and picture me there
You can push us aside, you can tear us apart
But it doesn't change the way that I feel
Close your eyes now and you'll see me there
By your side, so wrong, so right
We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind
You & I

It was all we could stand
it was heaven and hell
It was everything and nothing together
Maybe some things are just meant to be
What they are, so close, so far

We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind
You & I

You know I love you
I want you, but what can I do?
Can't fight this feelin'
I just can't go on without you
Baby I want you

Are you lonely tonight?
Are you thinking about me?
Did you ever wonder how should I feel?
Maybe somethings are just meant to be - yeh

We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind

We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind
You & I
We make our choices
But nothin' matters
Only You & I


6. DISCONNECTED

The hammer lands, the verdict stands
The walls come crumblin' down
The color code, rule of thumb
Shadows on the sun
Can you tell me, where it's really at?
All around the world tonight
People watchin', people waitin'
All around the world tonight
People feelin' - Disconnected
(Somebody better plug me in)

The jukebox plays a toxic waltz
A factory belches steam
A sidewalk ends in baby steps &
A widow maker screams
(And it sounds like this)
Hear her call your name

All around the world tonight
People watchin', people waitin'
All around the world tonight
People feelin' - Disconnected

The page is turned, a city burned
The whole world falls apart
The plug is pulled, truth escapes
The space between our hearts
Space between our hearts
Space between our hearts

All around the world tonight


7. CRAZY

People like to shake you up and put you down
Run you all around, drive you crazy
Like to steal the roses right out of your bed
Get inside your head, drive you crazy
Never really knew what love could be, yeh
Never really thought about you and me, yeh
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy

Everybody tells you how you ought to be
What they think they see, they can't teach you, no
Big world on your shoulder, it don't mean a thing
If that song they sing, hey - don't reach you
Never really knew what love could be, yeh
Only want to think about you and me, yeh

Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Crazy, Crazy
Hey Baby, Baby, oh, oh, oh

Crazy, Crazy, Crazy
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Crazy - feel like I'm gonna go crazy


8. EVER TIME I FALL BACK

I don't know if it's me or just the sign of the times
But I want a better life than the one I've been livin'
Ain't no one says that you can't change who you are
Ain't no law says you gotta take what you're givin'
I wanna find a place where the nights are warm
And the wind don't blow so cold against my skin
I wanna find some shelter in someone's arms
When I go too far I know that

Every time I fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time I fall back
Your arms are open , I hear you calling me

I believe that people are the same wherever you go
Everybody's seen their reflection
The face we wear is not our face at all
No - we've lost all direction
Don't wanna dance the dance of the fool no more
Don't wanna give away my soul for nothin'
Don't wanna sell myself door to door
I just wanna know that..

Every time I fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time I fall back
Your arms are open , I hear you calling me

Ohhh...
Ohhh...
Ohhh...

I don't know if it's me or just the sign of the times
I just wanna know that..
Every time I fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time I fall back
Your arms are open , I hear you calling me

I hear you calling me..
I hear you calling me..

Ohh...


9. SANCTUARY

Wise men say these are the facts of life
What ya can't read, you gotta write
What you don't know can hurt you, welcome to the wasteland
Hail Mary, hear me now - I'm in need of Sanctuary
Yes, these are hard times to be livin' in
Out in the Wasteland where love's a give away
I fall on my face like a rebel in the dirt

Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me

Feelin' lost and so afraid
Just tryin' to keep the handle on the blade
Been such a long time runnin'
Behind these walls inside of me
Ain't nothin' clear as far as I see
Looks like a storm cloud breakin'
Off in the distance, I hear a drivin' beat - a drivin' beat
The sun goes down like a rebel in the dirt

Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me
Sanctuary, Give me some affection
by, Baby shelter me
Heartache gonna worry me down -- I don't like it

Show me mercy, peace of mind
Stand beside me in these troubled times
Give me a reason to believe in now
Love and affection, they seem so far away, so far away
All I can do just to make it through the night

Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me
Sanctuary, Give me some affection
Baby, Baby shelter me

Sanctuary, Sanctuary
Sanctuary, Sanctuary


10. RISE (PART 2)

They say the hand is quicker than the eye
And two wrongs don't make a right
I feel lightning when you walk by
You got the power to take me higher, yeh
Hear me when I say
Rise
See a better day
Come on

They say the power of love is to blame
Time stops when I speak your name
Now and forever you are the one
Love-light shining on and on and on

Rise
Hear me when I say
Come on, yeh
Rise
See a better day
Come on, yeh, yeh

They say the power of love is like the sun
Shining down on everyone
Hey, don't be frightened by what you feel
You got to know that the power of love is real

Hear me when I say
Rise
See a better day
Come on
Can you feel the power of love


11. KINGDOM KEY

Just like every cross you ever carried, every badge you ever wore
Every vow you ever taken, every oath you ever swore
Every kiss you ever stolen, every moment that you waste
Everything you ever loved, and all you've come to hate
It's a great temptation, in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searchin' for the kingdom key

Just like every vision you neglected, every dream you left to die
Every hope that you rejected, every truth that was a lie
Every road you ever travelled, everyone you turned away
Everything you ever loved, and all that you betrayed

It's a great temptation, in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searchin' for the kingdom key

And the light before him was all that he could see
Like fingerprints on the hands of glory wrapped 'round the rosary
His love is like a chain
That would not set him free, would not set him free
Lonely soul on a mission of mercy, hey yeah... Mmm

Just like every cross you ever carried, every badge you ever wore
Every vow you ever taken, every oath you ever swore
Everything you ever loved, and all you've come to hate

It's a great temptation, in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searchin' for the kingdom key

It's a great temptation, in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searchin' for the kingdom key -- Hey yeah...


12. TRADIN' DOWN

We paint this town in shades of gray
And the walls look high 'til you step away
Ain't it funny how you can look around
And never see the truth 'til it knocks you down
Never see the light 'til your - Tradin' Down
Work hard labor for your daily bread
While the golden dream spins around your head
Time gets money. money buys you time
For the foolish things that you left behind
Workin', workin' overtime
And tradin' down

It's gonna be alright, he said
It's gonna be alright
There's nothing that's here for us
That we won't mind missin'

Never see the light 'til your - Tradin' down

There's no future for the workin' man
See him growin' old in the promised land
Nothin' to show for the wasted years
But a heart full of hollow and a taste of tears
Pushin' Monday to the wall and
Tradin down...
Tradin down
Tradin down
