Shadows

When the cold winter's blown in
It's all that I can do to hold onto the memory of you
And time just keeps on rolling trying to push me through
But my heart knows me better than the truth
Come on back to me, raise the dead of night
Come on back to me when everything is quiet
I'll be chasing shadows
Faithful in my dreams
Slipping through the echoes
Locked and bound for eternity
Forward keep on forward, but you're still on my mind
Heartless like the iron anchor drops it's line
I can hear your breathing coming from behind
And I still bear the evidence of your heart on mine
Pre-Chorus
CHORUS
Waiting, waiting for you
Crying and staying and hating that it’s true...
Pre-Chorus
CHORUS
Locked and bound til you come back to me

Lies

I can see now, I can see right through it
You’re an open mouth with not much more to it
Make the carrot look so sweet
Silver spoon and everything
And tie it up with fancy string please
Dirty little lies, pretty little thing
Better watch out before you get hurt
Dirty little lies, pretty little thing
Walk on over me
It’s a long walk down the garden path
But it’s cheap talk and a sucker punch
Fool me once it’s your mistake
Fool me twice and I’m to blame
CHORUS
The bell is ringing, the clock is counting down
The fire’s burning that you just can’t put out
Wave that flag in your parade
Sequins and the whole she-bang
Diamonds, roses and champagne please
CHORUS

Come On Down
04:11
|
|

|
It’s so easy in the quiet, get away from all the sound
Try to push with every heartbeat in the ground
Let the idle of the stillness come up from around
Waking up the valley lost and found
Every time you face the darkened cloud
And it calls you out by name out in the crowd
It’s a chain reaction trigger that keeps pulling you in now
Turn around and come on down
It’s so easy to let it have you
Like a desperate kind of love
And like clockwork it’ll dig you in the ground
There’s no prayer that can be answered
It’s a scream without a sound
In a web of all it’s ivy you are bound
CHORUS
From all the make-believe
Let it roll and let it be
Come on thru and fall in deep, yeah
Step by step and closer to
Making sense of something true
When you let it all just come to you, yeah
CHORUS

Free

Sometimes I just wanna run away, Far enough into a distant cloud
Forget everything and everyone, All alone in another world
Hide away from the critical, Take a breath and dig in deep
Nothing else but quiet town, No one else but me and me
I just wanna learn to be free
Out from under all the wreckage left (far away from myself)
I just wanna learn to be me
I don’t wanna be nobody else
Sometimes I wanna cry, For all the things said and done
And it makes me kinda wanna scream
For how I left it all come undone
Oh I can hear it all, Hear it all go around
Maybe I’ll just make a run for it
A one way ticket where I can’t be found
CHORUS
Let it all shine, The waste and the grime, Yours and mine
Don’t we all just want to, Don’t we all just want to
I know what you think you see, It’s crafted like a masterpiece
But somewhere in the inbetween, Dig in deeper there underneath
CHORUS

Venus
03:34
|

Come horizon, bring the dawn
There’s a love that I can’t need
She plants the seed with a cruelty
Knowing it won’t last too long
She opens up the better part of me
Just to break me with her song
I’m an easy mark for a broken heart
And she walks me into wrong
Suddenly it feels like a dream
Sounding like a millions angels call
And all the years between are a quiet mystery
Until I hear her laughing rolling on the wind
She’s made of beauty and appetite
Sometimes careless in her plight
I never know what’s just hit me re
Until I see that it’s too late
Bring the darkness into the light
Spin a tale I can’t deny
That Venus, baby, she’s sometimes a bitch
For making me her slave for life
CHORUS - she’s done it again…m
Come elixir, knit the time
Reap that illusion when it’s ripe
I’m an easy mark and he’s just a boy
And I’m begging for some mercy just this time
CHORUS

One Horse Town

Ain’t it a shame, ain’t it a shame how you’ve been trying
Making the play to make it your way all this time
Honey you should know by now you’re living in a one horse town
Cradle to gave, cradle to grave they own you
Heart and the mind toeing the line in vain
Tell me how you like it now living in your one horse town
It’s all one way, dead end and safety signs
Tightrope, short leash at the end of the line
Everybody knows the story as old as time
Tick tock - tick tock
Hand to to the fire, hand to the fire, it’s burning
Nose to the grind, quiets the mind, but you keep on
Wondering how you’ll get out of this lonely little one horse town
CHORUS
Retribution of dissolution and watch it fade away
Ain’t it a shame, ain’t it a shame how you’ve been trying
Making the play to make it your way all this time
Honey you should know there isn’t any getting out of this
One horse town
