I guess I'm into feeling higher lately
Higher than I've ever been

. . .



Love is cast ornately in your heart flame
Chakra wheels are turning like a love train

I could pray a hundred times
Keep these demons from my mind
I could pray a thousand times
Stay in your lovin' arms entwined

Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark

We shall blur the lines of definition
Waves of love our only ammunition

Tear my head out from the sound
Throw myself upon the ground
Take me to the burning tree
It has this strange effect on me

Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark

Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark

Fascination never tasted sweeter
My desire real and soaring freely

You alone can save my soul
You alone are my salvation
You alone can make me whole
Rescue me from condemnation

Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark

Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely

. . .



I never thought that I would reach you
Though I've been searching, for oh so many years
This place I am seems unfamiliar
But there's a light to break through all my fears

Still, time and time again I'm looking for the love
The one that can inspire

Lift me higher, high as heaven can be
Sono luminus
Love is here, where it always will be
Deep inside of us

I'm looking out into the distance
The sound of thunder is rolling into my head
The sky is stretching out before me
Thanks for today, everything is blessed

So, here we go again, we'll be searching for the truth
Until the twelfth of never

Lift me higher, high as heaven can be
Sono luminus
Love is here, where it always will be
Deep inside of us

Lift me higher, high as heaven can be
Sono luminus
Love is here, where it always will be
Deep inside of us

I never thought that I would reach you
Feels like this road has been going on for miles
Don't have to write or even see you
Because there's a light, burning on the inside

Still, time and time again, we're looking for the love
The one that can inspire

Wherever you are, saint or sinner be strong
Sono luminus
Lift me higher, high as heaven can be

. . .



Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
A hint of a scent then it's gone
Look at the state of you, you're all fingers and thumbs

So who's your latest flame?
Driving 'em wild in the fast lane?
Won't say I told you so, but the boy has no shame

Once when my hands were full
We were double or quits then some
Nothing at all to show for a love so precious

Gone and blown it all
How can you say, 'it doesn't matter much to me'? A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

Gone and blown it all
And then you say, 'this can't be happening to me'
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
The thrill of the chase then it's gone
Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on

And life is a wonderful thing
When you're humming the words to a love song
Do what you wanna do, be who you want to be

When I'm in your arms I'm strong
There's nowhere I'd rather be
We shine for liberty, life and the pursuit of pleasure

Gone and blown it all
How can you say, 'it doesn't matter much to me'?
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

Gone and blown it all
And then you say, 'this can't be happening to me'
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

And how the days have flown too few and fast
They said it wasn't meant to last
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay

. . .



Past five in the morning, feeling worse for the weather it seems
But what a feeling, what an endless night this has been

And we can't stay here, 'cause we won't be forever young
We'll have to go down before innocence is lost

And I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms

Woah, woah

I've been getting used to all the crying and the games that you play
And if I carry on I'm going to end up with a hole in my head

And there's more to life than thrills and spills and dollar bills
We'll have to get through, some way and somehow

And I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms

And I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms

. . .



Looking in the papers makes me sorry to be human
A little ray of hope won't hurt at all
A price on every head and it's cheaper when you're dead
Quality of life may have to fall

Muffled voices, world in action, stir the peaceful, need for longing

I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace

Guess it's human nature to be cruel and heartless
But that's no reason to shoot him when he's down
Crawling on your knees and then bite the hand that feeds
The cages throw their shadows across the ground

Where's the sense in senseless violence? Hear the silence too forgiving

I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace

Press your hands in, into the pavement, bathed in glory, here's your moment

I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace
I cannot describe the fear inside my heart
I hereby do swear to live my life in accordance with grace
I cannot describe the fear inside my heart

. . .



Tempered by greed, tall buildings breathe
Give a sigh of relief when it's night
Stirring from sleep, we night owls creep
Is there any sign of life under this stone?

Star chime, hollow and true
Love child

Weep for me, and I will cast your wheels in motion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion

Sheltered by creed, one piled on one
Do you have a little room for one small one?

Light shine, wild and free
Sunrise

Weep for me, and I will set your wheels in motion
Keep with me, like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me, and I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion

Here we are, in the sunshine
Everything is fine
Here we are, in the sunshine
Everything is fine

Weep for me, and the sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me, 'till rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion
Stand by me, and I will fill you with devotion

Weep for me, and the sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me, like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me, and I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me, and rays of sunshine will fill the ocean

. . .



On and on and on
Here's the break of dawn
Coming through the window, heart
Pull yourself a chair up, love

On and on and on
Quiver like a reed
Let yourself a go-go, old one
Honour me a solo, young man

Careful not to give yourself away
There is still tomorrow and a heart-felt meaning
When you get that feeling you'll recall a night of love in motion

We shall lie warm inside
Quite at ease, watch me slide
Love the way you do so
We shall lie side by side
Here and now, talk in turn
Love the way you do so

Time is rolling on
Blending with the mind
Love the way you tease me, heart
Tear another layer off, love

Listen to the stillness of the day
Drawing ever closer like your heart is beating
And when I hear it beating I will recall a night of love in motion

We shall lie warm inside
Quite at ease, watch me slide
Love the way you do so
We shall lie side by side
Here and now, talk in turn
Love the way you do so

We shall lie warm inside
Quite at ease, watch me slide
Love the way you do so
We shall lie side by side
Here and now, talk in turn

. . .



See how much you mean to me, you're my electric symphony in blue
Just one look in your eyes, maybe I was hypnotised by you

You told me on the telephone of a picture so serene
And the beat goes on
Feels like a fever burning, and I say

Yes to your love and there's no secrets
High and ascending, delving deeper
Fly like an angel, wings unfurling
Fanning the flames of love eternal

All around the world the love will manifest itself in special ways
Up there on the shelf in spiritual or sexual relays

I want you, yeah, I crave you, I need you next to me
Locking the lip-sync on
A rocket to red hot love perfection

Here we go round and there's no secrets
High and ascending, delving deeper
Under the water, clear as crystal
Spinning around in giant circles
Fly like an angel, wings unfurling
Fanning the flames of love eternal

You say, 'reach me, I'll be your deity, come and touch me, make it real'
Turning the charm full on
Sending me into excitation

Here we go round, no room for secrets
High and ascending, delving deeper
Love is resounding, clear as crystal
Spinning around in giant circles

Our message is love and there's no secrets
Ever evolving heavenly creatures
Fly like an angel, wings unfurling

. . .



You've made your bed, now lie in it
You masochist of mayhem
This mortal coil is up for grabs
In danger forever

I would swear that there must be a thousand personalities insde your head
Now I would swear that there must be a thousand possibilities to mend your heart

Now take these words and tie them up and give them back
Give them back

For I see you, I hear you, I feel you, I love you

You can call collect and I reject your foul abuse and your language
Where's your sense of etquette? Can't you assess the damage?

I would swear that there must be a thousand personalities insde your head
Now I would swear that there must be a thousand possibilities to mend your heart

Now take these tears and cry them in your pillow, dear
And I'll be near

For I see you, I hear you, I feel you, I love you

I would swear that there must be a thousand personalities insde your head
Now I would swear that there must be a thousand possibilities to mend your heart

Now take these tears and cry in them your pillow, dear
And I'll be near

For I see you, I hear you, I feel you, I love you

I see you, I hear you, I feel you, love you
I see you, I hear you, I feel you, love you
I see you, I hear you, I feel you, love you
I see you, I hear you, I feel you, love you

. . .



In these days of mine for keeps I'm trying to hold on
When suddenly you're all out of reach and everything goes wrong
What we say and what we do are entirely different things
Meaningless straight through the roof
It's now how it should be

Easy like a bird
I ride the breeze
My mind is falling

You're so ordinary, you're my santuary in the morning, darling
New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart and a long goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this
Crazy land of milk and honey, life is just an illusion

I just don't know what to believe in if the truth be known
Suffering from soul fatique, weathering the storm
What we say and what we do are entirely different things
The whisperings dissolve the room
Well it's now how it should be

Swaying like a tree
I feel the sky
Somebody calling

You're so ordinary, be my santuary in the morning, darling
New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart and a dumb goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this
Crazy mixed up world of honey, life is just an illusion, darling

Easy like a bird
I ride the breeze
My mind is falling

You're so ordinary, be my santuary in the morning, darling
New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart and a long goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this
Crazy mixed up world of honey, life is just an illusion

You're so ordinary, santuary, be my one in the morning, darling
New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart and a dumb goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this
Crazy mixed up world of honey, life is just an illusion

You're so ordinary, santuary, be my light in the morning, darling
New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart and a long goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this
