Heaven Sent

Your eyes are like deep wells of desire
Once in your arms I'm on fire
You were sent girl so perfectly true
Changing my life
Now I'm a survivor

Heaven sent
That's what I call you

Late at night when the evening fire has died
There's a look in your eye
Seductive images fly
One day you'll see what angels can see
Dressed in black if she comes back
I think I'll lose my mind
Tuesday she works
In the library uptown
Some useful knowledge
Can always be found
Don't burn the library
Til you've read all the books
Sometimes in life
You get a second look


Communication

Light beams from outer space
Drifting to your satellite
Your dish responds

Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money

It's wild in here
There's a girl on the floor
She's gonna blow this place apart
Gonna take us all
All away
Communication disinformation
So entertaining

Blood money blood money
It's wild out here
You should see the light
From the crown of the king
The king of the night

Spinning metal blue satellite
Your dish responds

Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money

It's wild out here
Situation's alright
Gonna keep up the lies
And our version of life
I won't leave this dirty place
I'll stay here 'til the end
The lights are on
So action man
Show us the truth

Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money

There's a war out here
There's a bomb on the floor
Gonna blow this place apart
Gonna take this show away


Taste It

 

Yes it's me
I am the one
To make you see
Where we belong
I was shaking
Like a leaf
All wrapped up
In my dirty sheets

If I agree
To what comes next
I would be faking
With the best of them
It seems a crime
I would commit

Without the difference
Of all the world's gifts
Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it

Never never never
Never never never
Taste it

To dream
All the time
Without a scream
In the dead of night
All those faces
Come back to me
I'll be begging
To swim that sea
Yes I made
A picture story
Make you cry
In all your glory
A need to quench
The thirst of many
To justify
And make ready

Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it

This realization
Owes us strength to show
If you're uncertain
You're invited to believe
These are the words I speak
These are the words I speak

A dislocation
From where we once came from
Give sons and daughters
Because we want to go on

These are the words she speaks
These are the words she speaks

Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it


Not Enough Time

And I was lost for words in your arms
Attempting to make sense of my aching heart
If I could just be everything and everyone to you
This life would just be so easy

Not enough time
For all that I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

We will make time stop
For the two of us
Make time stop
And listen for our sighs

In our fight against the end
Making love we are immortal
We are the
last two left on earth

And I was lost for words in your arms
Attempting to make sense of my aching heart
If I could just be everything and everyone to you

Not enough time
For all that I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
Not enough time for
all my love
Not enough time for every touch

Make time stop!
I wanna
make time stop!

Not enough time
For all that I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

We will make time stop
For the two of us
Make time stop

We will make time stop
For the two of us
Make time stop
Make time, make time, make make time...

No hay tiempo suficiente

Y estuve perdido en tus brazos
intentando darle sentido a mi doliente corazón
Si solo pudiera ser todo y todos para tí
esta vida sería tan fácil

No hay tiempo suficiente
para todo lo que quiero para tí
No hay tiempo suficiente para cada beso
y cada caricia y todas las noches
quiero estar dentro de tí

Haremos que el tiempo se detenga
para los dos
que el tiempo se detenga
y escuche nuestros gemidos

En nuestra lucha contra el fin
haciendo el amor somos inmortales
somos los
dos últimos que quedamos en la tierra


Y estuve perdido en tus brazos
intentando darle sentido a mi doliente corazón
Si solo pudiera ser todo y todos para tí

No hay tiempo suficiente
para todo lo que quiero para tí
No hay tiempo suficiente para cada beso
No hay tiempo suficiente para todo mi amor
Noy hay tiempo suficiente para cada caricia

Haz que el tiempo se detenga!
Yo quiero
hacer que el tiempo se detenga!

No hay tiempo suficiente
para todo lo que quiero para tí
No hay tiempo suficiente para cada beso
y cada caricia y todas las noches
quiero estar dentro de tí

Haremos que el tiempo se detenga
para nosotros dos
Hacer que el tiempo se detenga

Haremos que el tiempo se detenga
para nosotros dos
Hacer que el tiempo se detenga
hacer que el tiempo, hacer que el tiempo...


All Around

I see the rising sun

I feel the warming one

We've come a circle

To the way we once begun

No one's really sure

How to make it up

Or give a name to the way

We've been acting lately

All around

A man he buys a gun

He is his father's son

But one day he takes to gun

And takes the lives of one and many

Looking out one day

A message comes to me

I saw a woman tell the truth

And end up behind bars

I walked an empty street

Proud to spill a tear

Then came my shame

My fear to blame

The one and only

See the rising sun

Feel the warming one

We've come a circle

To the way we once begun


Baby Don't Cry

 

Baby don't cry

When you're down and confused

Nothing seems right

And it's you who decides

Who's going to make it right

Well life ain't no joke

But it's good when you smile

Steal everything

But you won't get far

Sometimes you will fall

Whatcha gonna do

Give your friend a call

We know that you can smile

Even though it takes a while

To lose your fears and say

Gonna lose your fears and say

Do you know who you are

And where you're going to

Don't you know that love

Gonna pull you

Gonna pull you through baby


Beautiful Girl


Nicky's in the corner
With a black coat on
Running from a bad home
With some cat inside
Now where did you find her
Among the neon lights
That haunt the streets outside

She says
Stay with me
Beautiful girl
Stay with me
Beautiful girl
Stay with me

She wants to go home
From doorway to doorway
Street corner to corner
With the neon ghosts in the city
And she says

She's so scared
So very frightened
Anything could happen
Right here tonight


Wishing Well

If you ever want to taste it
Go down to the wishing well
Poison in the well won't make it
Keep yourself as strong as can be

All men I'll take you
Take you down and tell you why
I said woman gonna take you
Take you down a well that's wide

Take it to the river
Take it to the world
I say loving heart
Gonna show the way

All men
Whatcha seeing
Living it all for the life
Say all men

Whatcha seeing

Gonna change your ways
Gonna change your ways
Gonna change your mind

If you're ever gonna taste it
Never look right or left
Look ahead
I'm the healer
You're believing

Gonna carry ya to the end
Gonna carry ya to the end

I'm a healer
I'm a healer


Back on Line


Maybe there's something in me
Trying to hitch another ride
Have you ever felt this moment
When you're looking out of control
All the ways I could have taken
Just add up to indecision

I'm gonna get this back on line
To me there's no reason why
All my troubles soon be leaving
Wash away the pain of mine

Get me to the place I'm standing
There's a reason down below
Maybe there is something in me
Trying to take another ride
 

Have you ever felt the moment
When you're losing all control
All my troubles soon be leaving
Mine


Strange Desire

 

My strange desire
Is waiting here
To be my light
My shadow my storm
This is all
And this is you
Turning into another dream
Please don't be
Another dream
Do you really think we're cared for
Do you really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do you lose our self-control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above
This is all and this is you
Meet again touch again
Must have wanted
Some paradise

Long ago
That's unwise so unwise
Look again I said
Touch again
Believe your fate
That's alright that's alright


Men and Women

 

I can't see how I can
Turn around what has been done
I was just like a child
With my eyes wide open
History and any cause

And my eyes are still open

But my mouth my mouth is shut

I'm closing off the lies

Making my own mind up

When I can I will

How many dirty little secrets

Were kept behind my back

Men and women

Men and women

Men and women

Giving each other the sham

Hungry at any cost

Now my eyes are still open

But my mouth my mouth is shut

I'm closing out the lies and promises

Men and women

Men and women

Men and women

Giving me the sham
