Paris 05:06
PARIS Morning sun glistens on the Champs De Lysee Feel so alone despite the presence of the passing crowd What he has to do he knows, he knows it will not be easy In the Paris bars ??? alone ....to try ?? In Paris, city of your dreams In Paris, will no one here him scream? In Paris, listen to his plea In Paris, will they remember me? ??? learn slowly of his demise A simple job, he washes it down with a little more wine Blood on the walls ??? twist of his eye And he's waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for that fateful find, that fateful find, He goes!! In Paris, city of romance In Paris, they'll be no second chance In Paris, where he will be found In Paris, final resting ground....resting ground Woah, woah....AGGHHH! As he levitates into his destination he feels no pain A seedy hotel room beckons in the new world Before The end will come for him in this ??? room In Paris, what will be will be In Paris, will they remember me In Paris, ??? reason why In Paris, just leave me here to die

Western Sky 03:42
WESTERN SKY The one solution to calm your mind When the changed have paved your way And in confusion you’re onto the higher ground Falling into the winter’s hold I see the lines surround your eyes We could talk and understand You’ve looked beyond what you’ve been shown Sing to the Western Sky Walk towards the Western Sky Turn away from the deadwood Count seconds to the fall Fire and candles light this place Faith has healed the wild and calm, you know Righteous pours out of you The sense of new worlds growing strong I’ll paint my name across this town And be here when judgment comes around, when judgment comes around Run, run, run, running to the Western Sky Run, run, run, running to the Western Sky Counting life in cold hard stone To the lost across the wire I don’t see through my mind’s twist To the sound of gunfire And if I had your strength I’d shout my hopes and fears aloud Singing strings and screaming bells Guide you to a higher ground To the higher ground Run, run, run, running to the Western Sky Run, run, run, running to the Western Sky Run, run, run, running to the Western Sky Run, run, run, running to the Western Sky Run You walk into the Western Sky I saw you walk into the Western Sky

Murder 04:02
MURDER Standing in the fading light We turn to dust together Release me, bound and gentle sanctuary The stellar land, desist disease A dreamer’s sleep, you now live forever Take my heart and you turn away By my side and it’s everywhere By our choice we are Deaf, dumb and blind to this And I wish they were lying to me now Moving on to fill your steps I’ve a holding head??? And lurking arms Says a slave, send in the clowns Take my heart and you turn away By my side and it’s everywhere It’s in my head and it’s every way???? By my side and it’s everywhere Well they come back Sometimes they never go away Rainfall masks the smell of fear When you lose the battle and no one wins this war And the summer will be late again this year Take my heart and you turn away By my side and it’s everywhere It’s in my head and it’s every way???? By my side and it’s everywhere It’s in my heart and it’s every way By my side and it’s everywhere It’s in my head and it’s every way???? By my side and it’s everywhere

Fall 04:16
FALL As I walked from the table, shaking from the conversation All the lies that were my life, echoed round and round the sinking ground The face in the mirror looks like autumn turning winter And all the things that mean so much are so far away Now the wolves? World? at the door Waiting for the man to fall Nothing’s stable Nothing moves me anymore Watching world move on the freeway Watching shadows crawl the wall Adding it together, it made no sense And memories no consolation Weight of the gun, scattered hope away like light Oh, and the voice on the radio, says a storm is coming Now the wolves? World? is at the door Waiting for the man to fall Nothing’s stable Nothing moves me anymore Now the wolves? World? is at the door Waiting for the man to fall Nothing’s stable Nothing moves me anymore Oh anymore Oh anymore Oh anymore Nothing moves me anymore

HIGHER THAN HEAVEN IS Back to the bathroom floor again On your knees like a long lost sunday Won't you ever come back down? Won't you ever come back down? And you walk walk walk around the place Never ever find the words I talk talk talk to my new disease Something you never understood It goes higher than heaven is It goes higher than heaven is Biting tongues and crawling walls Oh, you could disappear hear If I had the time and if I had the mind I'd go back to the start Break my back to break my heart It goes higher than heaven is Deeper than down It goes higher than heaven is Deeper than down

NO TWO THINGS My Heart shifts from good to bad Sad to say, never stays the same My life moves in circles From faith to reason And back again and as the Circle gets tighter, all the clocks Cry out around to zero Watch you stumble Oh, I don't want you to be happy I just want you to understand it was Nothing higher than what you see before you You'll know that up there someone heard you And no two things can ever touch And no two things can ever break How can you ask those questions When the ground around you shifts and shakes God in his kingdom and you on the carpet Never two collide, never two departed God in his kingdom and you on the carpet Never two collide, never two departed And Jesus sits on his shoulders Oh, in the pictures he looks so much older Well, I guess what they say is true About sin and what it does to you And no two things are out of reach And no two things could ever fail Moving on hear comes the change Makes you feel alive again Marches from good to bad Sad they say, never stays the same My love/life moves in circles From faith to reason and back again My love/life moves in circles And back again

BACK TO FRONT She glows like daylight on through the rain She move like fear moves across your face She punches my stomach into my throat Tighter and tighter And the book of my life burns in the fire It goes higher and higher Her head in the sand, she calls me up Her head in the sand, she throws me down Her head in the sand, she spins me round Her head in the sand, she’s always on my mind Someone said all that shines is Someone said you’re better off dead The happy hand the misery, I don’t know, don’t try When I said I, you know I always, I mean it Her head in the sand, she calls me up Her head in the sand, she throws me down Her head in the sand, she spins me round Her head in the sand, she’s always on my mind Someone said all that shines is Someone said you’re better off dead The happy hand the misery, I don’t know, don’t try When I said I, you know I always, I mean it Someone said all that shines is Someone said you’re better off dead The happy hand the misery, I don’t know, don’t try When I said I, you know I always, I mean it Her head in the sand, she calls me up Her head in the sand, she throws me down Her head in the sand, she spins me round Her head in the sand, she’s always on my mind

Rescue 03:45
RESCUE I hear voices lacking true direction from outside Which way and lead me to the pasture Lay down beside But faith is hard to come by You don’t get much for blood and tears But trust in me, my only one I can’t undo what’s been done to you Rescue me Rescue Rescue me Ah, rescue I hear voices lacking true direction from outside Which way and lead me down to sleep Lay down beside I will tell you what you’re looking for If I thought you wouldn’t ask for more You talk of him a little too much I can’t believe anyone so out of touch Rescue me Rescue Rescue me Ah, rescue Rescue me Rescue Rescue me Ah, rescue

CHAINS AND THINGS You’re /every???? Thorn?? Stillborn at birth You wait and see you’ll get what you deserve Don’t advocate turn down the walls You wait and see they come down on their own Well, it’s lucky for you that we’re so bright And it’s lucky for you that ???? figure you out When you smile, whole world’s collide But the love you give is only on the outside Well, it’s lucky for you that we’re so bright And it’s lucky for you that ???? figure you out Said hey now, I’m ready to quit The sound of the ???? bit by bit And I can’t explain all these chains But hey now, I’m ready to quit The sound of the ???? bit by bit And I can’t explain all these chains It’s so waiting for the bleed to come????? Oh, and you don’t look back at all the things you’ve done Well, you mean to ???? on his knees A break for faith and gravity But when I turn to face the sky All I see I raised closed eyes Said hey now, I’m ready to quit The sound of the ???? bit by bit And I can’t explain all these chains But hey now, I’m ready to quit The sound of the ???? bit by bit And I can’t explain all these chains

Fade Away 04:09
FADE AWAY I can hear the bells ringing Calling out big sanctuary A life disguised by brilliant clouds At least that’s how it seemed to me It could be Sunday from the sheet???? Or it could be a thousand years The path was long and soon to close Paved with singing tears You’re lost child, there’s reason to stay, don’t go You’re lost child, there’s reason to stay, don’t go But ????? Rags and confusion She broke the house around herself Scratched with lipstick on the wall Could you love me as you loved yourself There’s a feeling when the point grows stranger So the memory all runs clear The future is twisted ?????? spins And the present ????? left??? You’re lost child, there’s reason to stay, don’t go You’re lost child, there’s reason to stay, don’t go Just fade away Just fade away Just fade away Just fade away
