Now the time has come,
The music's between us
Though the night seems young-
is at an end
Only change will bring
you out of the darkness
In this moment everything is born again

Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life

Now the fire-ball burns,
We go round together
As the planet turns into the light
Something more than dreams to
Watch out for each other?
'Cos we know what it means to be alive

Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life

Feel the new day enter you life

Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life

Reach up, reach up put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise

. . .



You had plans all along
Must have seen me coming down
A mile above the ground
'Cos I am weak where you are strong
It's a thrill that makes me curious !

Whatever I'm thinking of
You always seem to know.
'Cos nothing is good enough
There's always something
To keep me guessing

-chorus-

Why does it feel right if you're just faking?
What if you knew you could?
What if you get up on manipulating?
Why does it feel so good?

Drive in the car
Turn up the sound
Gets your head in the ailes
Don't matter, gonna feel the blast
I pick you up, you throw me down
And it only gets more serious !

What could you be thinking of ?
You never let it show
Cos you give me just enough
There's always something
You keep me coming !

-chorus-

Why do I want you more ?
Why do I want you ?
Why do I feel so tall ?
Why do I want you more ?
Why do I want you ?
Why do I want you more !?

Oh oh oh oooh yeah

What could you be thinking of ?
You never let it show
'Cos you just give me just enough
There's always something
You keep me coming

. . .



Child, don't you worry
It's enough you're growing up in such a hurry
Brings you down the news they sell you
To put in your mind that all mankind is a failure

But nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
We try not to show how frightened we are
If you let me I'll protect you however I can

You've got to believe it'll be alright in the end
You've got to believe it'll be alright again (again)

Fighting, because we're so close
There are times we punish those who we need the most
No we can't wait for a savior
Only got ourselves to blame for this behaviour

But nobody knows (nobody knows)
What's gonna happen tomorrow
We try not to show how frightened we are
It would seem lonely if you were the only star in the night

You've got to believe it'll be alright in the end
You've got to believe it'll be alright again

(time is a riibbon, a silent icy river, froze us all
running deep deep and fast
enough to get lost down in the flow
thrashing around these tiny lives mean everything )

Solo

And nobody knows
What's gonna happen tomorrow
So don't let go
Now we've come this far
Hold my hand please understand me
Never alone

We've got to believe it'll be alright in the end (nobody knows)
We've got to believe it'll be alright, my friend (so don't let go)
And yes we believe it'll be alright again (so don't let go)


. . .



Makes my head stand up on end
Something alien happenin'
Synchronise but don't comprehend
'Cos where I stop that's where you begin
Another moment, I dawn it
A pleasure rising when I take the hit
And I'm addicted to state you're in
Cos you're getting me out of it

chorus:
Wasted
There's nothing gonna haze this
And we're gonna go to space, yeah even ship
'Cos I'm leaving with an astronaut

Grooving out to x-ray specs
Something tells me you're the alien sex
I can't imagine now what comes next
When this astronaut connects
Comin' on when I touch your skin
A kind of strange light you emit
I feel your gravity pull me in
Now you're getting me out of it

Bridge :
They're feet for quantum leap
Because space is hard and deep
And we follow giant footprints
As we fall in
Falling like the twins
Through Saturn's holy rings
And if they can't hold us
Where it's gonna end up ?
Anybody knows !

An astronaut
An astronaut


. . .



You want it...you got it...now what you gonna do with it ?

I been around the world
I seen a lot of things
That make your chicken curl
You're squeezing like boys and teasing like girls
Confusing like boys and girls
Plan an exit route...parachute...rubber suit
Are you ready for a little swim ?
There's regular...queen size...flip it on the b side...solid gold

-chorus-
(speaking) Oh my God what's this?

I saw the bedroom toys
Now I'm stalling
I can't believe my eyes
I saw the bedroom toys
Now I'm crawling
I learn to improvise

Checking out the five star atmosphere
You want some expertise
If you got treasure, I'll pay you for the pleasure
It'll bring you to your knees
Silicone romance, what's your name fancypants ?
Got your eye on the employees
Forget about the reeling, talk about the feeling
Solid Gold

-chorus-

You want it...you got it...now what you gonna do with it?

Now you washed up, beat smashing, grab no receipt takes the platinum off your
shine
Lazy bed star, la di da, petty bourgeois
Oh my would you look at the time
Until you wise up, you know we're gonna line up
The pimps and snitches to dip into your riches
If you can't destroy it, you might as well enjoy it

. . .



(There is nothing better than being with you
And I'm feeling so Nice !)

Take the beautiful sting of a scorpio
A careless smile and it begins to snow
And it hurts me to think that you might never know
That I've got this thing about you

In case you don?t understand
There's something else I meant to tell you

Chorus :
There is nothing better than being with you
And I'm feelin' so nice !
There is nowhere better than here with you
And it's feelin' so nice !

Staying up with the moon
And walking home in the rain
Mixed with your perfume and never twice the same
I got a lot to lose but everything to gain
When I really think about it

You haven't got a clue
It's all that I can do to hide it

Chorus

Did I already say
Because you make me forget
I might as well be brave and tell you

Now it hurts me to think you might never know
Will it hurt as much being true ?
I might as well be brave and tell you

Chorus

Yeah I'm feeling
And it's feeling

. . .



du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du
du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du

du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du, Can you taste the summer ?
du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du, Can you taste the summer ?

Can you,
Can you taste the summer ?
I do !
I find it in your mouth

Now if I have a weakness it's for sweetness
And it's floating
On your breath
As sweet as melody

du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du Can you taste the summer ?
du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du Can you taste the summer ?

Sure we can make it 'till the evenings
Cool haze is reflected of your thies
Long days are coming up,
They're staying out and playing
Music off the falling stars a melody

du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du Can you taste the summer?
du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du Can you taste the summer?

-Break-
(du du)
(the summer)

Wild orchid and the wind
You know just where it's blowing
So fresh
From your lips is born the melody
(melody...melody?. melody?.)

du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du X4

du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du (Taste the summer)
Can you taste the summer ?
du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du (Taste the summer)
Can you taste the summer ?
du, ru, du, dupidu, du, ru, du, du, ru, du
Can you taste the summer ?

How does it feel out on the ice ?
You speak to the crowd but nobody hears
It's not a dream and you are no prize
And you're not alone come in from the fear

Chorus :
Gonna take it back
Take back the life that you wanna lead
Been under quiet attack
But now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back
You've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand
The finest hour that we see

When did our choice become erased ?
Where is the violence in this crowd ?
Now that our voice has been replaced
With a silence that screams out loud

Chorus

(string section) ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Chorus

Take it back
Take back the life that you wanna lead
Been under quiet attack
But now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back
You've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand
The finest hour that we see

yeah...the finest hour that we see
We're gonna make this stand
The finest hour that we see

. . .



An hour since the sundown
The ghosts are creepin' in
Are gathering around me
Like starlings in the wind

Dark shapes gather round

Voices like my brother's
Are whispering to me
But I don't know these others
Who want to set me free

Come home you're out of time

But the life cannot let go
It's a chain cuts across my soul
Anchoring in this world

-chorus-
I put my hand into the flame
Burning but I feel no pain
Don't speak, don't speak my name
Hold on to this life of chains

The door is standing open
But I'm too tired to be afraid
My whole life's in this moment
I've been fighting all the way

Just need a little more time

Cuz the life just can't let go
It's a chain cuts across my soul
Anchoring in this world

-chorus-

nah nah nah nah nah x6

-chorus-


. . .



Suddenly it all looks so familiar
Gone and wrecked it like I always do
Don't you know it?
Life is out to kill 'ya
But you still go getting on with it

Seen better times than right now
But I'm not running away
No nothing's gonna bring me down

It's just been one of those days
I'm not the only one

They can drag me to the gates of hell now
There's nothing left but I'm still hanging in
Not for me, ain't no final showdown
I'm too shattered to do anything

Seen better times than right now
But I'm not running away
'Cause nothing's going to bring me down

It's just been one of those days
I'm not the only one feeling this way
And I'm not sorry

I'm not the only one feeling this way
And I'm not sorry

. . .



The random aspects of our lives
Come together once in a while
So blinding and decidingly
Naivity falls from our eyes
And we?ll not regain
As we watch the tower falling down

Maybe things can change
Only if you want
Maybe things can change
Only if you want

Chorus :
You know you know there's no avoiding the lesson to be learned
(The lesson to be learned. The point of no return)
You say : ?What if ??, but can you live it ?
It's all that we deserve
(It's all that we deserve . The point of no return)

Don't blame yourself don't blame me
But we're the ones who can feed the ground
So this poison tree don't agrow again
And from this glass and broken earth (there is a way)
There is a way that can be build
A better life for everyone

Maybe things can change
Only if you want
Maybe things can change
Only if you want

Chorus
Solo

Home, it's not brick or stone
or comfort in the firelight,
not in that sense anyway.
Dreams, if only I had known
but these things always seem
so much clearer at a distance.
I'm walking out of this town
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there.
I'd burn the place to the ground.
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there again.
Words only could break that ring
you know the words still sting
so much harder than the blows ever did.
Heart, though it's hot and violent
my head is cool and quiet
as the ashes that fall from the sky

I'm walking out of this town
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there.
I burn the place to the ground.
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there again.

MID

Now, I know this shattered feeling,
trampled but still breathing.
I'm just waiting for a good day

I'm walking out of this town
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there.
I've burn the place to the ground.
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there again.
never going back there again,
