If angels were men well then they couldn't fly
If birds had souls they would forever glide
If people would love then more of us would be alive
Oh my my oh my
If you were me you wouldn't sleep at night

I take back everything I said
That ever caused you pain or stress
I take it back, just like that
I take it back, just like that

If trees weren't chairs they'd all give us life
If the truth didn't hurt so much then I wouldn't lie
If you could trust me maybe we could have a try
have a, have a try
If you were me you'd see the light

I take back everything I said
That ever caused you pain or stress
I take it back, just like that
I'd take you back just like that

You know justice is so blind
So help me tip the scales tonight

I take back everything I said
That ever cause you pain or stress
I take it back just like that
I take it back just like that

I take back everything I said
I take back everything I said
Take back everything
Everything
I said

I saw you meeting at the New World Order
You looked very modern with your narrow shoulders
You were the vision of Holy Grace
And oh, you held your place

Everybody wants a soul revival
And you handed me the language and a social title
You were the coco and the go-go baby
And you shook me all over the place
Yeah, you put me in my place

I wanted you, I followed you
Ended up leaving everything I ever knew
You fell for me (I fell for you)
You believed me (I believed you)
Please believe me, please believe me

Stop, you know I need you
The moment I see that tear run down your face
My disgrace is in your eyes (I'm trying (He's trying))
To stop, you know I mean to
There'll be no faking, no more of my charades
I know I'm giving up the imposter in me

A few years later and I have you hostage
To my ways of isolation of my selfish knowledge
I didn't understand what love was about
Until you showered me with grace
Yeah, you put me in your place

I wanted you, I followed you
Ended up leaving everything I ever knew
You fell for me (I fell for you)
You believed me (I believed you)
Please believe me, please believe me

Stop, you know I need you
The moment I see that tear run down your face
My disgrace is in your eyes (I'm trying (He's trying))
To stop, you know I mean to
There'll be no faking, no more of my charades
I know I'm giving up the imposter in me

This is such a strange beginning
I follow you and I find new meaning
We are formed from all these pieces
Take my love and give it reason
And you know our day will come, and you know our day has come
And you know (I fell for you), and you know (I believed you), and you know (I fell for you)
I know (I believed you), 'cause you know (I fell for you), and you know (I believed you)
I know (I fell for you), I know (I believed you)

Oh, stop, you know I need you (I need you)
The moment I see that tear run down your face
My disgrace is in your eyes (I'm trying (He's trying))
To stop, you know I mean to
There'll be no faking, no more of my charades
I know I'm giving up the imposter
I know this is possible
Oh the imposter is me
Lyrics by Kevin Max- blind thief publishing circa 1991

tried everything to find you
i even took the stairway to hell
i wrote these words down to remind you
that i know life is never pass or fail

so hand me the keys to your kingdom
give me back my garden of Eden
lead me to a place that i can call my own

a home
a sanctuary
home

and we are standing on the edge of it
trying to make some sense of it all
the fear is building and the hatred
until you know we're left with nothing left at all
you know i'm falling

so hand me the code to your gates of knowledge
teach me the truth i never learned in college
lead me through the valley, let me find a place called

home
a sanctuary
home
and it's the archeticture of peace
and it's the streets that lead to release
and it's the hallways and doorways of hope
and its a place that we call
home

(home-i tried everything to find you
home- i lost everything to find you)

the military is leading tours through town
a couple more weeks and the walls come down
i don't care if its East or West
i just need to get some rest, I'm
home

and it's the archeticture of peace
and it's the streets the lead to release
and it's the hallways and doorways of hope
and it's a place that we call home

sha la, sha lalala sha la
sha la lalalala sha la sha lalala la la
home.

The question is where did this begin
Who authored and who finished it
Such a beautiful world
But such a twisted plan
For it to end before we really lived in it

Oh tell me why this is happening
Oh tell me should I believe in anything

I find your beautiful mind in everything
But everything can make me believe
I find your beautiful eyes see everything
So show me something beautiful please

Corporation's rights
As the working man will fall
We bit the apple, now the apple's eating us
We won our fifteen minutes
Then we won it all
Watch our own image bleeding us
I feel so cold and I'm growing old
Come on now just finish it

Oh tell me what's the purpose of love
She looks the best when she just walkes away

I find your beautiful hands make everything
And everything is all I need
I find your beautiful eyes see everything
So show me something beautiful please

I can not figure it
Tell me Lord
Please show me Lord
Let me see it

Is there a code that I can't crack?
My life is slipping right off the track
Don't even know if I want it back
So take it away from me

I find your beautiful mind in everything
And everything is all I need

I find your beautiful eyes see everything
So show me something beautiful
I find your beautiful eyes see right through me
So show me what You want me to be

You've got a one track mind
Held in formaldehyde, you stay inside
You don't want anyone to find you
You've got a secret drug
But its never enough to take the place of love
And someday your masterpiece will revive you

And now you've got the body
You shock the party in every way
But your vacant baby blues give you away
And now you've got the body
You use the body to get your way
But when I touch you there's no life inside you
Turn on your electric heart today!

You are an only child
Yeah your spoiled and wild, so infantile
You just need a soul to trip the wire
Its time to draw the shades
Eyes are open wide, a brave new world to face
Your Maker's ready to connect the hard-drive

And yeah you've got the body
You shock the party in every way
But your teleprompter lines give you away
And now you've got the body
You use that body to get your way
But when I touch you there's no life inside you
Turn on your electric heart
Jumpstart your electric heart today!

(Turn it up, feel the mix, insert the card)

Oh
And now you got the body
You stock the party in every way
But your programmed popstar moves are so cliche
And now you've grown the body
You use the body to get your way
But when I test the spirit left inside you
Turn on your electric heart
Jumpstart your electric heart
Turn on your electric heart today!

Oh my God
Here I go again
Jumping off this platform
To another end
Oh my God
See me going deep
Won't You take these millstones
From around my feet

And it's a tragedy (I know)
This state I'm in

Why'd you choose me when you knew I wasn't tough enough
Why'd you send me when you knew I would run
Why'd you put me into places that I didn't want
Why'd you call me when you knew I'd hang up

Oh my God
Can You see through me?
Can Your pierce the darkness?
God Your charity
Is the only song that I cannot sing

Why'd you choose me when you knew I wasn't tough enough
Why'd you send me when you knew I would run
Why'd you put me into places that I didn't want
Why'd you call me when you knew I'd hang up

You hold me up
And pull me down
And twist me around in circles
And take me out
And put me back
Depending on the situation

Oooh

Oh my God
Can I feel your hand?
I need direction and
A place to land

Why'd you choose me when you knew I wasn't tough enough (why did you choose me)
Why'd you send me when you knew I would run (send me on)
Why'd you put me into places that I didn't want (why did you send me there?)
Why'd you call me when you knew I'd hang up

Is this my platform?

[No lyrics]

We don't like your politicking
Get a new life, get a new love
This is where your soul needs stitching
Get on a job, bang on the drum

Please believe, you're beautiful when you're not made-up

Turn the switch, to give you my love
A soul kiss, it's all over (yeah yeah yeah)
Turn the switch, to give you my love
A hard itch and it's never enough

Later on this train is leaving
Get on a board, sit in the sun
Praying knees don't need any breaking
Use all your fun, sleep like a nun

Please believe, you're beautiful without the makeup

Turn the switch, to give you my love
A soul kiss, it's all over (yeah yeah yeah)
Turn the switch, to give you my love
A hard crush and it gives you the shove

(It's over)

Please believe, you're beautiful when you're not made-up (It's over now)
Please believe, you're beautiful and that's not made-up (It's all over)

Turn the switch, to give you my love
A soul kiss, it's all over (yeah yeah yeah)
Turn the switch, to give you my love
A hard crush and it gives you the shove

Turn the switch, to give you my love
A soul kiss, it's all over (yeah yeah yeah)
Turn the switch, to give you my love
A hard crush and it gives you the shove

Oh the English rain
Seems to follow me again
All the way from Sintra Portugal
It's where I met you just one year ago

Oh sweet memory (riding motorbikes down to the sea)
Didn't feel like reality even when it was happening

And I want everything to stay
The same as yesterday
I want everything to stay the same

I saw you board the Paris train
Your little halo hung sideways
You didn't know i was there to see you go
Standing in your furs and your arms around another fool

Oh tortured memory (Ceasar Paciotti's standing in the city square)
You smothered everything, just when it started happening

And I want everything to stay (I wanted to stay)
The same as yesterday
I want everything to stay the same (I want it to stay)

Love is a deadly potion
Stabs the heart and bleeds emotion
And now nothing is the same again

Oh the politics of love
Oh the politics of love and not feeling loved
I know you, you doubted me all along
Even when I told you that you were the one
And in the street I left a lonely rose
That no one knows, and no one knows, and no one knows
But me

I want everything to stay
The same as yesterday
Want everything to stay the same

Love is a deady potion
Stabs the heart and bleeds emotion
Love is a chain reaction
We just thought it was attraction

And I never wanted to change (and now you forced me)
And I never wanted to change (and how you forced me)

And I know it for a fact.

the fairy tale has found an end
the beauty that belonged back then
had gone
i wonder where it all went wrong
the dream, the love, the recompense
the song

and here we are leaving each other
wandering around haunted like rain

and why do we dance in sadness?
and why do we hold it in?
why do we smile in madness?
can't you see i need you
can't you see i need you
can't you see i need you
can't you see i need you, i need you
the end.

the salt has never left my eyes
the honey in your words still seeps inside
i walk the night with ghostly steps
i wander up and down the past again

and here we are failing each other
wandering round like a storm in the night

and why do we dance in sadness?
why do we hold it in?
why do we smile in madness?

can't you see i need you
can't you see i need you
i need you, the end.

the masquerade, the beauty recalled
the ceremony,
all was for naught
forgotten
forgotten
forgotten

can't you see i need you
can't you see i need you
can't you see i need you
i need you the end.

all alone
all alone i fall
all alone
all alone i fall
all alone
all alone we fall
we fall
all alone
all alone we fall
all alone
all alone i fall
i fall
all alone
all alone we fall
we fall
all alone
all alone
we fall
all alone and we're
all alone
we fall
we fall
we fall

the fairy tale found an end.

The iron hand it ain't no match for the iron rod,
The strongest wall will crumble and fall to a mighty God.
For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears
It is only He who can reduce me to tears.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
For like a thief in the night, He'll replace wrong with right
When He returns.

Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through,
He unleashed His power at an unknown hour that no one knew.
How long can I listen to the lies of prejudice?
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Can I cast it aside, all this loyalty and this pride?
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease
Until He returns?

Surrender your crown on this blood-stained ground, take off your mask,
He sees your deeds, He knows your needs even before you ask.
How long can you falsify and deny what is real?
How long can you hate yourself for the weakness you conceal?
Of every earthly plan that be known to man, He is unconcerned,
He's got plans of His own to set up His throne
When He returns.

There will be signs in the sun, in the moon and stars.
On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
Men dying of fear, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken to the foundation.

And we want everything to end, just like Nostradamus said
Everything is left for dead, fade to red

In the gust of the wind on your back
In your gut, in the tracks of your mind
This is how it ends
Everywhere there's hope, there is oblivion

And we want everything to end, just like Moses said
Everything is parted then, fade to red

In the crest of a wave, on the fields of a plain
In a far away land, it's all the same
Even when there's love, there is also hate

And when the sun breaks through the dark
We know we're close to it, close to it
And when the son shines through my heart
I know I'm close to it, close to it

From the words of a mystic monk
To a drunk on the edge of a nightmare
So it is, everywhere there's joy, there is also dread
From the throne of a militant king
With the wings of the fallen and they start to sing
"Inside I am just like you"

And we want everything to end, just like Nostradamus said
Everything is left for dead, fade to red

In the crest of a wave, on the fields of a plain
In a far away land, it's all the same
Even when there's love, there is also hate

And when the sun breaks through the dark
We know we're close to it, close to it
And when the son shines through my heart
I know I'm close to it, close to it
(close to it, close to it)

These are all of the words that were formed before the blood after the flood
Feel the hand of love
And sing the song of songs from up above

From the throne of a militant king
With the wings of the fallen as they start to sing
Even when there's love, there is also hate

In the crest of a wave, on the fields of a plain
In a far away land, it's all the same
"Inside I am just like you"

And when the sun breaks through the dark
We know we're close to it, close to it
And when the son shines through my heart
I know I'm close to it, close to it
