DEAD OR
ALIVE
A softer touch
A face so sweet
A lust for blood
Awakes the beast
Tell me please
What’s wrong with me
This dreadful thing
Is part of me
I need you
To be mine
Dead or alive
Kiss the cross
Say a prayer
When you’re lost
Everywhere
I need you
To be mine
Dead or alive
I need you
To be mine
Dead or alive
I need you
Dead or alive

THIS ROAD
IS LONG
I was broken up,
I let you rest in pieces.
I have had enough,
You had nothing up your sleeve.
Time slid on by.
I got mine.
I was in a fit,
Just living like a gypsy.
You were born to quit.
You gave good guys a bad name.
I took my time.
I... I....
I know this road is long.
Like oceans through the storm.
Like roses through the thorns.
Anytime at all,
When I feel like I’m drowning,
You will give it all,
You’ll give it all up frowning.
I bide my time.
I... I...
I know this road is long.
Like oceans through the storm.
Like roses through the thorns.
I was broken up.
I let you rest in pieces.
I have had enough,
You had nothing up your sleeve this time.
You gave good guys a bad name.

PLAY WITH
FIRE
Midnight Rider
Give me a show
On the rising tide
Children of the night
Love to play with fire
Start your engines
Burn it out
Let’s go race the time
Children of the night
Love to play with fire
There’s nothing
Left for me
To hide
Children of the night
Love to play with fire
Children of the night
Love to play with fire |

LITTLE GIRL
Little girl
Don’t look so sad
You don’t know
All that you have
Someday you’ll know
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
Little girl
Little girl
Little girl
So timid and meek
Little girl
You are what you seek
Your beauty shows
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
Little girl
Little girl
Can’t you see?
You’re just like me
Your beauty shows
Stronger than you know
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
Little girl
Little girl
Little girl

NOT THE
ONLY ONE
You are the enemy
Kept close to me
A darker side of self
You are the remedy
That sickens me
A danger to myself
The bad blood between us
Is bitter on my tongue
The sad truth
I swallow
You’re not the only one, no...
You are the misery
That loves company
A stranger we all know
You are the malady
That is helping me
Unreap what I have sown
The bad blood between us
Is bitter on my tongue
In sad truths
I wallow
You’re not the only one, no...
You’re not the only one, |
COMING
DOWN
I was on...
I was on my way
By and by
It’s so hard...
It’s so hard to stay
High and dry
I let you down
You let me drown
Far away
So far away
Please get off...
Please get off my case
For a while
All I want...
Is too much to take
But I’ll try
I let you down
You let me drown
Far away
So far away
I let you down
I’m coming down
You let me down
You let me drown
Far away
So far away

SWEET OPHELIA
Can you see me?
The lights are growing dim
Through the mirror
The outside comes within
And your thoughts
Come tumbling in
In their dayglow pinwheel spin
As you’re falling
Falling through the din
Can you see me?
I’m hanging from the trees
Cheshire’s grinning
And hiding in the green
And the wind blows
through the leaves
Like a velvet tambourine
As it’s ringing
And riding on the breeze
Ohhhh... Ahhhh...
Ohhhh... Ahhhh...
Sweet Ophelia
You’re not making much sense
Down the river
You’re drowning in that dress
And you’re such a tangled mess
And it seems you’re in distress
As your singing
Singing to your death
Ohhhh... Ahhhh...
Ohhhh... Ahhhh...
Ohhhh... Ohhhh...
Ohhhh... Ohhhh...

LOST AT
SEA
In a far off place
Sailing clear
Through the deep dark space
Where no one hears
You scream
Lost at Sea
Thoughts unleashed
Rise and breathe
When the strongest love
Wasn’t built to last
You know the brightest stars
Burn twice as fast
It seems
Lost at Sea
Cosmic Schemes
Change and Breed
For me
Lost at Sea
Solar streams
Wave and weave

DON’T GIVE ME
LOVE
When I see you
On the streets
You look so nice
You look just ripe
To eat alive
Don’t give me love
Don’t give me love
I get it
I want to get it dirty
I want to feel it hurt me
It’s an evening’s
Entertainment
It cracks you up
It drags you to your knees
Open wide
Don’t give me love
Don’t give me love
I’ve had it
I always try to fight it
I should be loathe to like it
Don’t give me love
Don’t give me love
I’ve had it
Lord knows that I’ve tried it
Lord knows I don’t buy it now
Don’t give me love
Don’t give me love
Don’t give me love |
