Election Day.
(LeBon-Rhodes-Taylor)
Wild kind of look to the day
Opening eyes impale neon flickers
She moon, she turning away
The city's her slave but he's cheating his mistress.
She's moody and grey
She's mean and she's restless
So restless, so restless indeed.
All over you as they say
Rumours or rivals yell at the strike force
Hi guys, by the way
Are you aware you're being illegal?
It's making your savior behaviour look evil
'Scuse my timing but say
How'd you fit in with this flim, flam and judy.
Maximum big surprise
Your smile is something new.
I pull my shirt off and pray
We're sacred and bound to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day.
Stretching my love down the way
To your invitation stretching my body
Use your intuitive play
'Cause maybe we have more play time than money.
Maximum big surprise
She knows something new.
I pull my shirt off and pray
I'm saving myself to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day.
By roads and backways a lover's chance down wind
Cut open murmurs and sounds be calm hands on skin
Carry further, entangled strands all sing
I'm saving some time to slip away
We could dance!
Shouldn't be asking, wild and scheming
Could be my election day.
Maximum big surprise
You know something new.
I pull my shirt off and pray
We're sacred and bound to suffer this heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day.
Re-election day.
Keep Me in the Dark.
(LeBon-Rhodes-Taylor)
When the evening's sunlight fingers
Stretch across the floor
Cover up your eyes with feathers
Softly close the door
Take me in your heavy lips
Take me where the shadows lye
I need your blind full secrets
Hunting fast and loose
The lacy intrigue of this weekend
Should not be abused.
You could take me where you want
Could you take me all the time.
Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Don't go to far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark.
Tender is the truce I'm tasting
Watching you dictate
Heady nights of sleepless wasting
A face I can't escape
We could wave the world goodbye
To all of the boys, cheerio.
Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Don't go to far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark.
Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Don't go to far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark.
Help me now I'm slipping deeper
Tell me what to say
When without words you call me closer
Each time you turn away
Something inside you cries
But is it something I'll never find.
Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Don't go to far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark.
Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Before we go to far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like to think you
Were keeping me in the dark.
Goodbye Is Forever.
(LeBon-Rhodes-Taylor)
Sometimes you have no choice
Sometimes you've got no voice to say
Say if you will the words
Say if your world is so gray
We can decide this
There'll be no tears
No tradgedy
Try I wouldn't break and cry, if
You walk away
And leave me.
Hey, goodbye
Goodbye is forever
Hey, forever
Goodbye is
Forever and ever.
Sometimes it makes no sense
This side of cruel coincidence
Caught up in our own barbed wire
To set us free
Belive this.
Hey, goodbye
Goodbye is forever
Hey, forever
Goodbye is
Forever and ever.
The Flame.
(LeBon-Rhodes-Taylor)
I could feel the breeze blowing change
Blowing through my doorway
Warm and restless just as you walked by
Inside of smoky halls
A circle drawn
And voices call
To raise some magic wind in my world
Strange coincidence each time you look my way
This sinking feeling scares me
Know my weakness call it dejavu
Never puy my trust in fate
Suprises do arrive so late
Why should I be surprised by you.
Straight to the heart straight for this precious shining
How do you dare
Step into my flame
One from the heart, one for this precious shining
How can you steel my flame.
Sometimes cards are drawn and the tables turn
The waiting game is over
Take this dealers hand and steal away the dawn
Never give me any chance to wander back from this innocence
Don't give me any chances at all.
Straight to the heart straight for this precious shining
How do you dare
Step into my flame
One from the heart, one for this precious shining
How can you steel my flame
My flame
My flame.
Missing.
(LeBon, Rhodes)
And as I wander down to where you lay
The blood rushed up to meet
The roses in your hair
I thought I saw you smile
But now I don't see you anywhere
Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me
When you're not really there.
Stumbling out I made my way towards the open door
Climbing fast the sun broad streaming
Laughter down into your empty gaze
Where can I find you
Now I want to join in your games
I hear you calling
I hear you calling, calling, calling, calling
(Calling, calling, calling)
Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me
How do you really dare.
Rose Arcana.
(LeBon, Rhodes)
Instrumental.
The Promise.
(LeBon-Rhodes-Taylor)
Those tears on a gaping voice
Who's stretching arms match the hunger of mine
These lips will they never join
But always draw me closer and further entwined.
With a promise dealer, understand all freedoms fade away
To a point of view where many different pathways meet
And we're standing on this precipice with nothing much to save
But the deep blue screams of falling dreams with our next move.
Heaven hide your eyes
(Heaven hide your eyes)
Heaven's eyes will never dry
(They will never dry).
The shades of a thousand steel
Come flashing by my face in the fury of war
In desolation and abandoned fields
The hungry make their stand when they'll stand for no more.
Hear the passion in their voices, see the heaven in their eyes
(Heaven in their eyes)
Their hopes and schemes are waiting dreams of less than paradise
(Less than paradise)
And sometimes we make promises we never mean to keep
(Never mean to keep)
And blackmail is the only deal a promise dealer sees.
Heaven hide your eyes
(Heaven hide your eyes)
Heaven's eyes will never dry
(They will never dry).
El Diablo.
(LeBon-Rhodes-Taylor)
Enter newborn players and gather
Weigh their innocence
Only the brightest shine
But not forever
Many lights die
Many tears rain
When those tears run dry
On a mountain madness day.
You were just in time
For a foolish deal
A lover sold
I can't stand another howling day
Inside of this empty skin.
While the beacons burn a flame
Please return from so far away.
One life with the devil do I play
For so long el Diablo is to blame.
Oh el Diablo, el Diablo, won't you sell me back my soul
Oh el Diablo, el Diablo, won't you sell me back my soul.
Weddings on the wind, will she blow my way
He can dance and she can sing
She will tear your heart away
While the promise burns a flame
And will you return from so far away.
One life with the devil do I play
For so long, el Diablo is to blame
One life with the devil do I play
For so long, el Diablo is to blame
One life but the devil is in my way.
Lady Ice.
(LeBon, Rhodes)
Lady Ice slips into her soul
Lady Ice leaves a house so cold
Lady Ice did you know that the world was lonely too.
Drifting snows searching plains and high
Turning stones as she looks for the heart somebody stole.
She knows the violation
In lovers arms without occasion
But who knows where to find the true heart for Lady Ice.
Mesmerized in the candle flame
Compromised by the cruel bands of steel around her breasts.
She knows the desolation
Of lovers arms their isolation
But who knows where to find the true heart for Lady Ice.
Lady's eyes slip away from the part she plays in school.
She knows of roles and hideaways
Suppose she knows but turns away
She knows where to find the true heart for Lady Ice.
Lady Ice step outside your soul
Lady Ice do you know that the world is frightened too.
