Eternity
03:13
|
|||
|
There is no time there is no time
There is no time in my dream of you
There is no concept of wrong
Only steps in a passionate dance
taking us father along
And oh, that first caress
does it really have to end?
Or can we find a way to spend Eternity?
I dream of waking up in Paradise
and reaching out to touch your face
But it's all nothing more than a dream
Nothing remains of this beautiful place but….
All the broken hearts
yours mine and ours
A separate and apart Eternity
Some broken hearts will mend
but mine -- never again
I guess I found a way to end
Eternity
Eternity
Eternity
It's only eighteen years...

I Got A Thing
03:20
|

|
I don't know if you have noticed me
and I don't know if you like what you see
Baby I don't know whatever you're thinking
I only know you keep my heart from sinking
I got a thing I got a thing for you boy
Every single sound coming from your voice
Every look my way leaves me without choice
It's like steppin' in a bathtub full of honey
What's better than loving you? Not sex, drugs or money
I got a thing I got a thing for you boy
I got a thing I got a thing for you boy
You might be tragedy lurking in the wings I would die a thousand times for one silly little fling with you
SOLO VRS.
I got a thing I got a thing for you boy
I got a thing I got a thing for you boy
Boy
Boy
Boy

Metamorphosis
04:20
|
|||
|
Is this carnally wise? And should I be in disguise?
I don't care….
Lines where I could get lost I have already crossed
And I don't care….
I've given up everything except for my name
The family man - the loyal husband
Forever changed
I was playing with fire an atom bomb of desire
that I can't stop
When did these hearts collide? Or love become genocide
that I can't stop?
I thought I could run and hide amidst the ruined remains
But the truth is out beyond any doubt
Forever changed
I finally realized that I metamorphosized
and no one will recognize what I've become
SOLO VERSE
I'm barely a footnote now of a life rearranged
And I regret and never forget
The mess I made The hearts I betrayed
That wasn't me I'm different you see
Forever changed
Forever changed
I'm not what I thought I was

Little Nikita
03:44
|
|||
|
I can't stand the way you look tonight
or the way you make me feel
A sweeter poison no man's ever had
I pray to God this is for real
But if I see you on the street today
I might give it all away
Little Nikita
Somebody needs a love affair
Little Nikita
One look from you and I'll be there
I can't sleep without the dream of you
And you don't ever leave my mind
Can't work can't eat can't even live this life
The one I'd love to leave behind
Only you have seen this side of me
The one I'm dying to be
Little Nikita
Somebody's secret rendezvous
Little Nikita
Someday I'll always be with you
Now and forever don't talk don't tell don't cry
We'll be together with the perfect alibi ----------------
SOLO VERSE
But if I see you on the street today…….
Little Nikita
Somebody needs a love affair
Little Nikita
One look from you and I'll be there
Little Nikita
Little Nikita
One look from you and I'll be there

The worst day of my life stops and starts again
Yours was no simple love affair
The evidence is killing me with every layer of lie
How could I have been so unaware?
But I'm not a widow who lives to mourn
and there is one thing I won't do anymore…..
Cried my last tears for you
Already changed my life over you --- if
I'm still here after all these years
You have already seen my last tears
The next day of my life the new reality
I feel as if I've just been through a war
This lonely house is empty now the moving van is full
only memories left inside the door
Would this be better if you were dead?
I'd still be alone in this cold, empty bed --- where I
Cried my last tears for you
Took this wedding ring and threw it across the room
I covered my face so no one could hear
The sound of goodbye….
It's bad enough to be deserted
It's worse to be betrayed --------------
Cried my last tears for you
Started to live my life after you --- It's
almost as if you just disappeared
Leaving me here to cry my last tears
Leaving me here to cry my last tears

Absolute Maximum
04:47
|
|||
|
I was once the king of my world
Thought that I could do me no wrong
Got so used to calling the shots
I'd do anything to get what I want
Ain't no luck
Ain't no fate
Ain't no judge who'd ever hesitate
giving me the absolute maximum
I met you and everything changed
started tellin' lies and actin' strange
Had myself convinced that nobody knew
My mistake was countin' on you
countin' on you
Absolute maximum Got what I deserved
Absolute maximum of the time to serve
Absolute maximum Nothing left to try
When the sentence fits the crime
SOLO over BRIDGE
Strike me down
strike me dead
strike these thoughts of you out of my head
Everyday the absolute maximum
Every, every, everyday the absolute maximum
Absolute maximum

Fall Out of Grace
03:37
|
|||
|
Tomorrow I will be seventeen And it won't be a happy day
Since you've been in jail all my friends keep away from me…
People came to you for advice You took an oath to uphold the law
Little did we know you had one fatal flaw
You made us fall out of grace
Then someone else took our places
Mom will make a birthday cake
and make sure there's a card from you
With some apology for the hell I've been through
You made us fall fall out of grace
Wept as we fell on our faces
Tears that do nothing to heal
All that remains of our feelings
Blow the candles out
Make a wish of my own
That some day you'll be home and free
You made us fall fall out of grace
Left us to dig through the traces
Taken somewhere far away
Not even here to sing Happy Birthday

The Troublesome Child
03:47
|
|||
|
I don't know why I wanted to hurt you
Maybe 'cause I've been hurt so bad
Made you believe I could desert you
What's one more lie in a love gone mad?
So I pour on the gas strike up at match
then sit back and laugh the Troublesome Child
Pictures of you on my computer
I wish that they'd gone up in flames
Nobody knew you were my tutor
and I have learned to despise your name
So I jump off the deck of this sinking wreck
How could you suspect the Troublesome Child?
So let's live it up
before we have to give it up
'Cause this is sensitive enough
for you to lose everything
SOLO VERSE
So I turned myself in and watched the trial begin
What have I done again? the Troublesome Child
So you missed all the signs that led straight to the crime
and ruined this life of mine the Troublesome Child
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Troublesome Child

Flying Solo | So Low
04:38
|
|||
|
Strangers is what we are
Not what we used to be….
I was the one who stood up for you
I was the one you came running to
But this time you're on your own
Yeah this time, flying solo
You're on your own
Flying so low
Out of control
and out of your mind
Tell me this isn't true
Someone's telling tales to bury you
If I believe everything I've heard
If you're beyond an adulterer
Well, this time you're on your own
You're on your own flying so low
I watched you go right out of my life
You know the lives you ruined are
not just your own
You can spend the rest of your life
Tryin' to atone
But you're on your own
Never coming home
SOLO VERSE
I can't forgive you for what you did
But I'll always love you in spite of it
But this time you're on your own
Yeah, this time Flying so low
You're on your own You're on your own
You're on your own Flying so low

Monster?
03:49
|
|||
|
What they're saying about me
What if it's true?
How can this be an evil when I'm just so in love with you?
When I look in the mirror
I see nothing to fear
It's just me ….or is it a monster?
People threatened to kill me
They say I'm a freak
Don't they listen to Jesus?
Don't they turn the other cheek?
When I see my reflection
so full of imperfection
Is this me… ….or is it a monster?
If I kneel down to pray
will I get an answer?
Maybe God will tell me
If I am a monster
If I am a monster
SOLO VRS.
When I look in the mirror
I see plenty to fear
Is this me…or some kind of monster?
Some kind of monster?
Some kind of monster?
Am I a monster?

Eternity Reprise
01:43
|
|||
|
There is no time in my dream any more
and I'm not sure I'm alive
But then night turns to day once again
And I'm left with nothing but time
I can't undo the past
or fix the lives I trashed
I pray your tears won't last
for Eternity

Sweet Redemption
03:54
|

|
Any day now any day now
I shall be redeemed
Maybe this year or the next one
I will be forgiven
Sweet redemption
brings me to my knees
Holy Mary Virgin Mother
hold me in your lovin' arms
May your mercy exonerate me
and let me start another life
Sweet salvation
is all I ever need
Sweet emancipation
spreads her wings over me (hold)
Any day now any day now
I shall be redeemed
I shall be redeemed
Set my spirit free
I shall be redeemed
