Blackeye (bonus track, US + JP)
. . .


All this pain surrounding me; hopelessness is all that i see now.
Does it have to be this way?
Brought up on hipocrisy,the seeds they sow don't last forever,
they just fade away...

Don't be confused by the lies of the fools and deceivers.
Hope and believe in the things that we need to survive.

We ca make it if we'd only take the gift of faith.
We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith.

Take away my dignity, take away my hope and my freedom.
You got a world full of rage.
Don't cover me with apathy. Don't buy and sell what I believe in.
Don't lock me in a cage.

In a world where no one's alone, trust should come easily.
Just reach out your hand, and I'll give you mine.

We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith.
We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith.

Don't be confused by the lies of the fools and deceivers.
Hope and believe in the things that we need to survive.

We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith.
We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith.

We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith.
It's yours to choose, but only fools refuse the gift of faith.

I was born in the land of the sun
And the tall green grass
And I don't understand
How all this has come to pass
How we've come to surround ourselves
In a sea of thieves
In a land without learning
Only the fools believe

I went driving last night
On a dark canyon road
Had the sky to myself
But I wasn't alone
Had the pain of my lifetime
For my company
How did it end up like this
For you and me

When love breaks the promise
The heart has to keep
It leaves only truth here to find
When the spirit is crushed
And the hurt is so deep
Between you and I

Even when love has come and gone
And our hearts have moved along
I will remember
There was a time we had the trust
And that always was enough
I will remember
I will remember you

As I open my eyes to one more day
The wind burns my face
As it whispers your name
As it's pulling me forward
It tears me free
And the only thing left
Is the tears for you and me

'Cause when love breaks the promise
The heart has to keep
It leaves only truth here to find
When the spirit is crushed
And hurt is so deep
Between you and I

Even when love has come and gone
And our hearts have moved along
I will remember
There was a time we had the trust
And that always was enough
I will remember

Even when love has come and gone
And our hearts have moved along
I will remember
There was a time we had the trust
And that always was enough
I will remember
I will remember you

. . .


You're a soul with no religion
There's ice in your embrace
In your dance of indecision
I see the anger in your face

A little drink to help my vision
A little something for the pain
There's no drug for my condition
There's no sweetness in the taste

Tell me where the ride's gonna lead you
Do I have to pay to be your friend?
There's nothing left to say
When you slipped away

I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

You're a world of blind ambition
Staring through the looking glass
You will meet your own collision
When your conscience comes to ask

Steal the love from those around you
Help yourself to everything
Take the shelter that surrounds you
It leaves you standing in the rain

Tell me if the money can heal you
Do I have to pray to make it end?
There's nothing left to say
When you slipped away

I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

(Instrumental brake)

When you slipped away

I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me

I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

. . .


I left you crying on that angry morning
You know I lied
I'll always run from anything that loves me
To my safe side

My world circles 'round a different sun
That's all burned away
I know that you're the only one
Now I'm walking down some distant street
And I know your touch is out of reach

Girl you belong to me I know
And it was wrong for me to ever let you go
Girl you belong to me I know

Everybody has a lonely moment
They can't explain
And everybody wants to feed their hunger
Without the pain

There's no shadows in my hiding place
I'm so locked away
Now I wish that I could see your face
I know I hurt you when you say we're through
I never really will get over you 'cause

Girl you belong to me I know
And it was wrong for me to ever let you go
Girl you belong to me I know

(Instrumental break)

Girl you belong to me I know
And it was wrong for me to ever let you go
(Repeat with fade)

. . .


Well it's 2 a. m.
You're just getting in
Soon you'll be creepin' into bed
Later you'll pretend you were out with a friend
But I'm still inside your head

I don't understand
You say I'm your man
When it's clear you're seein' another
You can call me a fool for just loving' you
But girl I'll never find another

If you think he'll love you better
Your every wish is his command
Baby he's your man

Baby he's your man

Well, you spoke your mind
But I still can't find what's wrong with you and me
I got something' to say
And baby come what may
Baby we were never meant to be

So I want you to know
I can't let him go
'Til find a love that's real
I don't like this game
I don't need this pain
I'm just saying what I feel

I know he can love me better
My every wish is his command

Baby he's my man

(Instrumental brake)

Now I know I should love you better

Oh, my every every wish is his command

Baby he's your
Baby he's my
Baby he's your man
Baby he's my man

. . .


Sometimes it hurts clear to the core,
When we lose all we've cared for
The hunger and thurst for love that endures is never ending

What will I do with my life?
Try to share it with somebody new?
And how can I learn to disguise,
that I'm lost without you

All I have left is a heart full of mirrors
A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over...........girl it's over
I'll hear it echo deep inside 'til the other end of time
The other end of time

Left over dreams fade in my mind,
and I'm counting on this love to die,
'cause all that I need is to give my whole life a new beginning

But something is holding me down
Like I'm under a mountain of stone
And all I can hear is the sound of my own heart breaking

'Cause all I have left is a heart full of mirrors
A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over...........girl it's over
I'll hear it echo deep inside 'til the other end of time
The other end of time

'Cause all I have left is a heart full of mirrors
A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over...........girl it's over
I'll hear it echo deep inside

All I have left is a heart full of mirrors
A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over...........girl it's over
I'll hear it echo deep inside 'til the other end of time
The other end of time

. . .


I went down to the highway
That runs between love and pride
And I tried to get sideways
Across the great divide
But my mind's eye's on the key ring
Crying in misery
'Cause it won't spend one more evening
Staring back to me

It may be by choice
Or a small inner voice
I can't say
When you add up the cost
We all have a cross
How do you write off the loss?

Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back

Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
It's a new kind of fix
For the poor and the rich
You never know what's coming next
At the turning point

The rules are unwritten
And nobody knows the deal
Where have I been driven
Are demons behind the wheel?
Yeah, I know my days are numbered
We're only flesh and bone
And I've been left to wonder
How it went so wrong

Is it all tailor made?
Can the sinner be saved?
I can't say
So don't hang your hat
On the knife im my back
'Cause nobody treats me like that

Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back

Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
It's a new kind of fix
For the poor and the rich
You never know what's coming next
At the turning point

Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back

Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back

Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
It's a new kind of fix
For the poor and the rich
You never know what's coming next
At the turning point

. . .


Those days we gave our all
Unaffected
I bravely faced the fall
No reflection

Freak armies of the night
Misdirected
I fought the useless fight
Unprotected

Don't cry for me
Time is the enemy
Soon I'll be free
I surrender

Sweet moon, she marks the year
Unreflected
How sad she has no tears
So neglected

Don't cry for me
Time is the enemy
Soon I'll be free
I surrender

. . .


They keep looking through the window
A cathode glaze across their eyes
Now that I've been betrayed
I must be well behaved
I'll drink corruption with their lies

Why was I hiding out?
What am I running from?
Why are they waiting?
Have I always been the choosen one?

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me

I wish that lady would defend me
I can't abide by all the laws
I'll buy the magistrate
Can't be a second late
I anxiously await his call

Who made this jigsaw puzzle?
Who'll put the pieces back?
Who'll come and get me
When I have fallen through the cracks?

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me

Who made this jigsaw puzzle?
Who'll put the pieces back?
Who'll come and get me
When I have fallen through the cracks?

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see

Drag him to the roof
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me

. . .


I'm drivin' through the rain,
just to talk to you again.
Please dont run away this time,
until i say whats on my mind,

Tonight i need to stay with you,
this time im not passing through.
Tear down the walls around your heart,
and though i know it's who you are.....

Chorus...
I just can't get to you girl,
oh yeah,
i just can't get to you,
if you won't let me through girl,
oh no,
i just cant get to you.

You said you really need me here,
so i cant let you disappear.
Even know it's gettin late,
somehow i seem to hesitate.

I just can't get to you girl,
oh yeah,
i just can't get to you,
if you won't let me through girl,
oh no,
i just cant get to you.

You're afraid that you'll get hurt again.
Yes i know thats how it feels,
don't surrender, thats no way to win.
Let it go, let me in.
'Cause i just can't get to you.

I just can't get to you girl,
oh yeah,
i just can't get to you,
if you won't let me through girl,
....oh no i just cant get to you.

I just can't get to you girl,
oh yeah,
i just can't get to you,
if you won't let me through girl,
......oh no i just cant get to you.

Not by way of an apology
For the things that I have done
Do I set my boat upon the sea

So like thunder I am breaking free
In the landscape of the heart
It's hard to tell what's really taken me

Now I see it all through different eyes
This emotion can't be wrong
Past the mountains under empy skies
And the road goes on and on...

I've been living through this poetry
Tangled words and worn out prose
Love is needing, love is bleeding me

Now I see it all through different eyes
This emotion can't be wrong
Past the mountains under empty skies
And the road goes on...

(Instrumental break)

Now I see it all through different eyes
This emotion can't be wrong
Past the mountains under empty skies
And the road goes on...

Now I see it all through different eyes
Where I'm going, where I've gone
All I know - I'm still surprised
That the road goes on and

. . .


Hey come old Blackeye
He's looking for me again
He's got a hard head
He's always stinkin' of gin
If he thinks he owns me
He better think again
He likes to hurt me
He don't love me at all
He never phones me
He's never there when I call
He's a low down dirty dog
It's time I leave him that's all
Bye bye Blackeye

He's a low down dirty dog
I don't need him at all

(Hey watch what I'm saying man!?)

Hey where you goin' Blackeye?
When will you win?
You still got your shoulder holster
You still packin' yo' little friend
Well one thing's for certain
You're never gonna wipe that smile off my face again

Oh yeah
