When you've decided to hold on to all that you've lost
When you've decided to hold on to all that you've lost
All this is nothing when she comes and tears you apart
All this is nothing if you hold the key to her heart

If you've decided to change what you thought was your way
This new way will take you to her and to midsummer day
All this is nothing when she comes and tears you apart
All this is nothing if you hold the key to her heart

And I'm crying in the night
And I'm waiting for her call
Won't you help me girl tonight
'cause I'm waiting for her call

Yeah I'm crying in the night
And she's flowing from my mind
And the sky is turning black
And I'm running out of time

You'll shed a last tear if you miss your road on the way
This new way will take you to her and to midsummer day
All this is nothing when she comes and tears you apart
All this is nothing if you hold the key to my heart


. . .



Yeah I am the saviour, I said yes I am the truth
Get down on that floor now child, tell me what you lies will do
Dance for your life, boy! Dance for the truth yeah
Get down on that floor now child, let me steal your soul from you

Life is changing right before your eyes
Oh come on baby are you hypnotized
Looking at you mamma, what did you say
All you gotta remember baby

Yeah I am the saviour, I said yes I am the truth
Get down on that floor now mamma, tell me what you lies will do
Dance for your life, Dance for the truth yeah
Get down on that floor now child, let me steal your soul from you

In this world you're slowly sinking down
There's not much left in me to bring around
I'm looking at you mamma, what misty eyes
I gotta remember baby
That's right!

Every time you try to
Get ahead of race
And let it go to your face
You come in here with a smile on your face!

Yeah I am the saviour, yes I am the truth
Get down on that floor now mamma, tell me what you lies will do
Dance for your life, Dance for the truth yeah
Get down on that floor now child, let me steal your soul from you

. . .



I must leave you tonight my love
Remain so faithfully
I must go off to war my dear
The kings await me
I will go so far away
I will always love you
But you knew

I regret to tell you
Your man has died tonight
He was a brave man
He fought a brave fight
He was killed by the other side
He was killed by the other men's knives
She said save me

Why must you love this man
He is your brother
This is easy to understand my son
There is no other
I cannot pretend to love this man
Like my father
I cannot pretend
Mother there is no other

She said save me

When there is no truth
Let's end this lie tonight
This is easy to understand
Without your best fight
But I see a new sun rising in the east
But I see a new sun rising in the east
She said save me

. . .



Thirteenth apostle knocking at my door
Telling me that I can't play with you no more
I guess the wages of sin now couldn't buy my meals
Screaming out your name babe, how does that feel

Feeling through the outdoor all throughout the night
Waiting for the doctor to come and make me right
I guess the wages of sin now couldn't buy my meals
Screaming out your name babe, how does that feel

Sun's going down, sun's going down
Sun's going down, sun's going down

Sing throughout the streets babe
And you sing throughout the night
You go and tell the people my soul is aflight
I guess the wages of sin now couldn't buy my meals
Screaming out your name babe, how does that feel (it feels good)

Thirteenth apostle, oh he's knocking at my door yeah
Telling me that I can't, I can't play with you no more now mama
I guess the wages of sin now couldn't buy my meals
Screaming out your name babe, how does that feel

Oh Sun's going down, sun's going down
Let me tell you something baby
Sun's going down, sun's going down
Let me tell you something baby
Sun's going down, sun's going down
Ohh yes

Ohh Babe
Oh Babe
Come on
Come on in my kitchen yeah
Come in my kitchen baby
Oh right now
Oh right now
Yeah right now
Now listen

Going down going down,
Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Oh yeah go down,

. . .



All these emotions, filling my mind
And all of your healers, hurting my kind
Stay with me darling, watch me begin

Watching what the rain blows in
Watching what the rain blows in

All of the years go, fading away
Never could change much, anyway
And you're like a flower, you're fading and grey

I'm watching what the rain blows in

Seeing my memories cry
Falling around like rain
I just don't think there's something to sing
Without your name, oh yeah

Sky keeps on crying
Confusing the lying
I'm seeing her through this haze

And all these things I said to you
I hope you understand they're true
Try so hard to realise

All of the years go, fading away
Never could change much, anyway
And you're like a flower, fading and grey
I'm watching what the rain blows in

. . .



Falling from the sky baby
I must have lost my wings
I never thought I'd ever leave the place where the angels sing
Oh help me won't you baby
Cause I have to kiss the sky
Without the wings you gave me
You know its hard to fly
It's hard to fly

I've fallen from my cradle
I guess thats why the call me the fallen angel
I guess its why
You know I just can't fly

I've been to and from this world
And you know I've had a friend
One of these days baby, one of these days now
I'm gonna bring it back to you again

Oh help me won't you honey
Cause I have to kiss the sky
Without the wings you gave me
You know its hard to fly
So hard to fly yeah

I've fallen from my cradle
I guess thats why the call me the fallen Angel
I guess its why you know I just can't fly

A climb to the holy lands
Its like a slide to the devils hands
No one gives leads to a guilty thought
The wine of a beggar is seldom bought
Circumstances arise
The resurrection of a familiar friend
Help me baby I'm gonna shine my light
And you know
You know I'm gonna make everything right
Make it right

I'm Falling from the sky baby
I must have lost my wings
I never thought I'd ever leave the place where angels sing
Oh help me won't you honey
Cause I have to kiss the sky
Without the wings you gave me
You know its hard to
Oh its so hard to fly baby!

I've fallen from my cradle
I guess thats why the call me the fallen Angel
I guess its why, you know I just can't fly

. . .



Oh how the paths change
When the wisdom fades away
Something's going to change these times
And we'll watch them fade away

Never going to get it back
Never going to get it back
And that's what they say
When I've promised to change my ways
And we've all had these days

Oh I can feel her
In the inside of these rooms
Something's going to change these times
And we'll watch them fade away

Never going to get it back
Never going to get it back
And that's what they say
When I've promised to change my ways
And we've all had these days

Baby I really need your love
I've got to have all your love
It's cold outside
I'm trying to hide
I really need your love

Oh how the paths change
When the wisdom fades away
Something's going to change these times
And we'll watch them fade away

And you're never going to get it back
And you're never going to get it back oh no
And you're never going to get it back
And you're never going to get it back oh no
And you're never going to get it back

. . .



I went on down for a walk in woods
And then I had to see to my dismay
I met a ripper a mysteries ripper
Something I'd have given away

I had to admit that I new it was somewhere
In the back of my twisted mind
It seems the child who sprung up before me
Never gonna be his kind

Hey there Mr. preacher
Hey there Mr. Smith
If you recognise my friend
You better get a load of this

Goodman I'm gonna give you what you need
Goodman I'm gonna play the demon seed

I don't wanna stray
I never wanna leave the path
I have to stay Cause I've gotta make this feeling last

As we continued on with a journey
The revelations came in a tale or two
Every word that my friend would say
I see them though I saw right through
The puritans and the purifying
Raping women although the streets
They all prevail on my friends occasion
Every other day of the week

Hey there Mr. preacher
Hey there Mr. Smith
If you recognise my friend
You better get a load of this

Goodman I'm gonna give you what you need
Goodman I'm gonna play the demon seed

Don't wanna stray
I never wanna leave the path
I have to stay
Cause I've gotta make this feeling last
I do
Take to the bridge

Oh put the lessons learned and soon forgotten
Hardships coming to secret vales
They wanna keep me hung on the crosses
They'll have to find some bigger nails
I walk the streets like a doubting Thomas
I swear at saints when they pass me by
Nothings pure when everything's tainted
Where am I gonna go when I die

Hey there Mr. preacher
Hey there Mr. Smith
If you recognise my friend
You better get a load of this

Goodman I'm gonna give you what you need
Goodman I'm gonna play the demon seed

I don't wanna stray
And I'm never gonna leave the path
I have to stay
Cause I've gotta make this feeling last

. . .



I'm walking alone
On a lonely Friday night
I'm thinking about you baby
I know my timing ain't right

But through all the stages
That I put you through
I'm so sorry baby
What else could I do

See I've tried to let you go
I've tried so hard to forget
And my thoughts still won't subside
I guess I'm just losing my mind

All my kisses and all my charms
Couldn't put back baby in my arms
I guess it's over yeah
All my kisses and all my charms
Couldn't put you back in my arms

Been through some bad times
But I'm sure we've seen some good
Hey baby think about it
I knew you only would

But through all the stages
That I put you through
I'm so sorry baby
What else could I do

See I've tried to let you go
I've tried so hard to forget
My thoughts still wont subside
I guess I'm just losing my mind

All my kisses and all my charms
Couldn't put back baby in my arms
Hey baby think about that

All my kisses and all my charms
Couldn't put you back
Couldn't put you back baby

I've tried some many times
But my thoughts still don't react
Now baby think about that now
I know exactly where I'm at
I try to make you see
But you keep pushing me away
Baby think about that now
Cause I'm not that strong
I'll keep holding on

I've tried to let you go
I've tried so hard to forget
But my thought still wont subside
I guess I'm just losing my mind

All my kisses and all my charms
Couldn't put back baby in my arms
I guess it's over
All my kisses and all my charms
Couldn't put you back in my arms

. . .



I'm standing in the sun
Waiting for the rain
Thinking about my girl
But I can't recall her name
What's your name baby

I'm walking all alone
I'm standing in the sun
I'm thinking about my life
But its barely just begun
Yeah I wanna run

Baby what you trying to do
Baby what you trying to do
Baby that you trying to do
I never thought I'd lose with you
But now I do

I'm waiting for my love
Just swallowing my pride
Baby won't you take me on a psychedelic ride
I wanna hide

You want a lot of love
I really must confess
I could give it to you
But you won't undo your dress
Yes Oh yes!

Baby what you trying to do
Baby what you trying to do
Baby what you trying to do
I never thought I'd lose with you

Baby what you trying to do
Baby what you trying to do
Baby what you trying to do
Baby what you trying to do
Oh give it to me!

I'm standing in the sun
Waiting for the rain
Thinking about my girl
But I can't recall her name
What's your name baby

I'm walking all alone
I'm standing in the sun
I'm thinking about my life
But its barely just begun
Yeah I wanna run

Baby what you trying to do
Baby what you trying to do
Baby what you trying to do
You see I never thought I'd lose with you
Baby what you trying to do
Baby what you trying to do

. . .



I'll show you the door when you've decided to hold on to all that you've lost.
You see, all this is nothing when she comes and tears you apart.
Of course, all this is nothing if you hold the key to her heart.
I told you I am your saviour and your truth.
When you get down on the floor, I will steal the soul from you if there is no
truth.
Let's end this lie tonight.

When the thirteenth apostle is knocking at my door, a new sun is rising in the
east.
Did I tell you that? It's true.
So sing throughout the streets and sing throughout the night.
Go and tell the people my soul is aflight.
Although you might save me from all these emotions that are filling my mind,
all of your healers are still hurting my kind.
I will watch what the rain blows in
and I will continue to tell people that a climb to the holy land is a slide to
the devil's hand.

Something is going to change these times and I'll watch them fade away.
So if they want to keep me hung on their crosses they'll have to find some
bigger nails.
I will continue to walk these streets like a doubting Thomas and I'll swear at
saints when they pass me by.
Nothing is pure when everything is tainted.
Where am I going to go when I die.
So you see, I'll try to let you go and I'll try very hard to forget.
I don't think my thought will subside, I guess I'm just losing my mind.
I'm walking alone, I'm standing in the sun.
I'm thinking about my life and how it's barely just begun.
