Kill The Mood
04:01

You light the candles, dim the lights and smile
Ol’ Blue Eyes serenading softly in the dark
You take my hand; your eyes speak of seduction
There are no walls around your heart
I try to find the energy to hold you
But there’s something holding me at bay
Another man is casting my shadow
And he wants to take my place
What am I supposed to say?
I'm too tired for this today
(You) Whatever you do
(I) I just kill the mood
(You) You’re making your move
(I) But I’ll just kill the mood
And I feel this line between us
Is building slowly up from the ground
There's no rhyme and there's no reason
Why the wall won't tumble down
You kiss me slowly and my heart should be pounding
Isn't love supposed to hit you in this way?
We became this thing I took for granted
There's no pleasure in the game
What am I supposed to say?
I'm too tired for this today
I'm a fool and you're my shame
(You) Whatever you do
(I) I just kill the mood
(You) You’re making your move
(I) But I’ll just kill the mood
(Turn on the lights, turn off the music)
I break your heart, baby
(Faking a smile just doesn't do it)
I just can’t help on hurting you
(Turn on the lights, turn off the music)
You look away but I catch the pain
(Tears in your eyes - what am I doing?)
I try to reach out to you
Too late - I’ve killed the mood
(You) Whatever you do
(I) I just kill the mood
(You) You’re making your move
(I) But I’ll just kill the mood
But I will, I will kill the mood

Well, If your girl just told you
To go away for a while
You've done nothing wrong
It's just for a snapshot
Mani and his magic little thing...
They lower their guard
Just as when they talk to their moms
Wolf in sheep’s clothing man
Gathers women and men alike
Oh, let the isotopes flow
No matter where we go, they’ll come
Shaking their heads with our songs
They dress for success, they can easy turn you on
Can’t do nothing but smile when I see Mani’s girls
It happens in the street
It happens in the lab
It happens while I am singing in the spotlight
It’s happening right now
Queens step down their throne
And the price of life grows
Does anyone still wonder who calls the shots here?
When Mr. Shirt spreads his thing out!
Oh, Mani and his magic little thing...
No matter where we go, they’ll come
Shaking their heads with our songs
They dress for success, they can easy turn you on
Can’t do nothing but smile when I see Mani’s girls
There’s nothing wrong
About tasting all the flavors
I moved on
I don't do my cornflakes for breakfast, no more
No matter where we go, they will come
Shaking their heads with our songs
They dress for success, they can easy turn you on
Can’t do nothing but smile when I see Mani’s girls

Paradise

So, I made it to the weekend
And was ready to cut loose
I was dancing wild and free, when
I spied you across the room
You'd been waiting in the shadows
Took my heart out with both barrels
Wasn't gonna miss
Time slowed down as you walked over
Eyes fixed on me all the way
In my arms, from out of nowhere
You were there as pure as fate
As the jukebox played, I held you
And you smiled. I was compelled to
Move in for a little kiss
You looked surprised
But you pulled me close and held me tight
That was the night
My world changed and I found paradise
(Welcome to paradise)
Ten years and two children later
You still take my breath away
Every night I thank the Maker
For this angel He sent my way
I guess the moral of this story
Is take the chance and best to hurry
All it took: a little kiss
You looked surprised
But you pulled me close and held me tight
That was the night
My world changed and I found paradise
It felt so right
Dancing in your arms that Friday night
That was the night
You gave me the keys to paradise
(Welcome to paradise)
Once upon a time: a kiss!
You looked surprised
But you pulled me close and held me tight
That was the night
My world changed and I found paradise
It felt so right
Dancing in your arms that Friday night
That was the night
You gave me the keys to paradise

Lady Of The Night
03:27
|
|||
|
Standing on the corner
Getting soaked by all the rain
The world that waits before her
Is the same old twisted game
It pushed her to her limits
And then it broke her pride
The failures and near-misses
Locked the gates to paradise
Yet another headlight
Yet another man
She's on another deadline
For a little cash in hand
She wonders how she came to
Fall as low as this
Life has turned the tables
Fed her poison from its lips
She feels so lost
Just count the cash, not the soul that she has lost
She’s the lady of the night
Once there was a young girl
Who dreamt a perfect life
Is it out there somewhere?
'Cos it sure ain't here tonight
Living in the moment
There’s no more "making plans"
It's ecstasy and torment
Wrapped up in a half-hour stand
She feels so lost
Just count the cash, not the soul that she has lost
All the times she's been lost
Caught up in this vicious cycle
(The soul that she has lost)
Count the cash, don't count the cost
That’s the lady of the night
She's the lady of the night
(She feels so lost)
All the times she's been lost
Caught up in this vicious cycle
She’s the lady of the night
And that's how she survives

Oh Futility
04:22
|
|||
|
Is the core on fire?
We failed: lost all meaning
And now the horizon is so pale
Time is fleeting
Nothing seems real
We can’t outrun
This insanity
We have released: what have we done?
We did not believe
It could go so wrong
We were too blind to see
The signs that warned us all along
Is this my final setting sun?
Oh futility!
Who will be the voice of history?
Oh futility!
This is what our vanity's unleashed
I can't
Breathe any more
Frozen
As the truth begins to dawn
Nothing seems real
What have we done?
Seems our perfect scheme
Has faded with the setting sun
Our dreams were painted with our blood
Oh futility!
Who will be the voice of history?
Oh futility!
This is what our vanity's unleashed
And as the smoke drifts everywhere
Our doom still lingers in the air
Oh futility...
Will you shed a tear, my son, for me?
Oh futility...
Heaven knows I tried to make it real
Oh futility!
Who will be the voice of history?
Oh futility!
When the smoke has cleared what will you see?

She Who Must Be Obeyed
03:18
|
|||
|
She is the one I must return to
I oughta learn to
Cut loose the rope
All that she does is suffocate me
And then placate me
So I still cling to hope
She is the flame you can't extinguish
I can't relinquish
Her hold on me
How can you tame what can't be tied down?
I am resigned now
To never being free
She calls, I turn around
The walls come crashing down
How can you teach your heart to choose for whom it beats?
I’d fight but there’s only defeat
She has me in full retreat
She is the pain that can't be measured
If left to fester
Oooh! The wounds won't heal
Time and again I make my mind up
But then I wind up
Back on her battlefield
She calls, I turn around
The walls come crashing down
How can you teach your heart to choose for whom it beats?
I’d fight but there’s only defeat
She has me in full retreat
She calls, I turn around
The walls come crashing down
How can you teach your heart to choose for whom it beats?
I’d fight but there’s only defeat
She has me in full retreat
And when she calls my name
I answer once again

Dear Mary Jane
03:47

Please let me be
I'm tired of your games
You pull me close
Just to push me away
You smile and everything's okay
Just for a moment you're worth all of the pain
But I'm telling you now
Not gonna take it any more
(Time that I looked out for myself
Walked away, found someone else)
Yes, I'm telling you now
Goodbye dear Mary-Jane
Where do I stand?
I just can't tell
One day it's "kiss me"
But the next it's "go to hell!"
I'm not a puppet on your strings (dancing to your tune)
Must be more to love than this
So, I'm telling you now
Not gonna take it any more
(Time that I looked out for myself
Walked away, found someone else)
I'm breaking on out
Staying caged within your walls
(Just not worth this pain inside
Loving you with your heart of ice)
I'm telling you now
Goodbye dear Mary-Jane
You should know that I don't hate you
But I can't take any more
Of all the crap you've put me through
And please, let me give you some advice
You may need to learn to play it nice
I'm telling you now
Not gonna take it any more
(Time that I looked out for myself
Walked away, found someone else)
I'm breaking on out
Staying caged within your walls
(Is just not worth this pain inside
Loving you with your heart of ice)
Yes, I'm telling you now
Goodbye dear Mary-Jane
(Time that I looked out for myself
Walked away, found someone else)
I'm telling you now
Goodbye dear Mary-Jane

Well, they told you the way it's gonna be
Took all your money; the deal was locked and sealed
Don't ask no questions, don't ask a thing
They're the experts and they
They know their shit
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Had no good options and now you have less
But you're not alone to clean up your mess
Double trouble: worst of your dreams
Double bubble: not quite what it seems
Deal is done and the body disappears
World won't know 'the hell happened here
You had your reasons and he had some friends
You made some calls and they
They did the rest
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Double trouble: worst of your dreams
Double bubble: not quite what it seems
Double trouble: don't look at me
Trouble bubble: wring out the blood and then get the fuck out of here
Had no good options and now you have less
But you're not alone to clean up your mess
Double trouble: worst of your dreams
Double bubble: not quite what it seems
Double trouble: don't look at me
Trouble bubble: wring out the blood and then get the fuck out of here

Statues
03:39
|

How many times have we come to this moment
Just to lose our nerve, letting fear take us over?
We lack the strength to move beyond the beginning
When we're so close to winning
You turn to me and I know where you're thinking
As the words come out it's the future you're sinking
My turn to speak and it don't get any better
Are we so scared of forever?
We dream our dreams, but are too scared to live them
Let's face our fears and give some meaning to our lives
I know it seems like our destiny is failure
But we're still here and surely love is worth the fight
And you love me, right?
I glance away, 'cos I don't want you guessing
What I really mean, that I'm afraid of where we're heading
One way outta here, and it's destination tears
And there's one thing honest clear
When the music starts
The statues remain still
We dream our dreams but are too scared to live them
Let's face our fears and give some meaning to our lives
I know it seems like our destiny is failure
But we're still here and surely love is worth the fight
I need to bite the bullet
Need to push through the barriers
Let's bring them crashing down
This time around
We dream our dreams but are too scared to live them
Let's face our fears and give some meaning to our lives
I know it seems like our destiny is failure
But we're still here and surely love is worth the fight
When the music starts
The statues remain still
When the music starts

Lying awake
If I close my eyes
You're stood there crying
(Then you turn away)
The memory haunts me
But there wasn't a choice
That's the offer that I made
(Come with me or stay, you turned away)
It's not like I meant to hurt you
I had to break my own heart too
There was nothing I could do
The lie I've been clinging to
You are the one
Who slipped through my soul
If I'd only found the courage
Could have worked it out somehow
But our time ran out
All this time I've been running away from you
Much too scared to face the truth
I was wrong to make you choose
But I was young and, I thought
The centre of your world
(Come with me or stay, you turned away)
Now, all of a sudden
Caught a glimpse of you today
Arm in arm with someone else
Is that the one who took my place?
I just cannot face...
That you are the one
Who slipped through my soul
If I'd only found the courage
Could have worked it out somehow
I'm tired like a fighter
Trying hard to beat the count
You're the one, yes, you're the one without a doubt
You are the one
I wish was in my arms
You're so close yet still so far
And it's tearing me apart
And there's nothing I can do now
That can change the way things are
You are the one and I was wrong to break your heart
Wrong to let you go

Oh, who says nothing in this world is ever free?
There's so much out there that is well within your reach
I don't wanna listen to their whining and their rules
Let them fade away upon their ship of fools
Ooh! Let me lay it down real straight
I just have to be the master of my fate
Life is what you make it out to be
Oh I'm alive and doing fine just living wild and free
Time is of no use stuck in the past
This world is a blur it flies by you so fast
Taking chances on the rolling of the dice
Let fate decide
Calling sixes, must resist those cold snake eyes
There's the jackpot sitting at the rainbow's end
I intend to grab it, I must have it all my friend
Ooh! Let me lay it down real straight
I just have to be the master of my fate
Life is what you make it out to be
Oh I'm alive and doing fine just living wild and free
Time is of no use stuck in the past
This world is a blur it flies by you so fast
Life is what you make it out to be
Oh I'm alive and doing fine just living wild and free
Time is of no use stuck in the past
This world is a blur it flies by you so fast
So my friend, just take a breath
Break their hold and be yourself
Life's too short to be a stranger
Hey there, look in the mirror
Who's staring back there?
Nothing to fear, it's crystal clear
It's all I need
Just being me
