Hitcher or driver
Drifter or survivor
Chaos and disorder
Under doctor’s orders
But he’s bleeding and in pain
And it feels, feels like rain
Sister or lover
Mistress or messiah
The stars shine high above her
And she will burn forever
But she’s bleeding and in pain
And it feels, feels like rain
Why can’t you see
The future like me?
Tell me why can’t you feel
What it is I feel for you?
Now I’m bleeding and in pain
And it feels, feels like rain
Time’s receding
We’re days away
And it feels, feels like rain
It feels like rain

An orchestra in the night
Chalk it up to design
This light is mine
This light is mine
A cross-wired dilemma
She hides a stammer
Faces on the phone
But nobody’s at home (yeah)
My kingdom for a voice
I didn’t have a choice
Pearls before swine
This light is mine
A crossword dilemma
She slides a letter
Faces on the phone
Still, nobody’s at home
Well yes,
She’s yesterday’s Valentine
Well yes,
She’s yesterday’s Valentine
My kingdom for a voice
I didn’t have a choice
Pearls before swine
This light is mine
A crossword dilemma
She slides a letter
Faces on the phone
Still, nobody’s at home
Well yes,
She’s yesterday’s Valentine
Well yes,
She’s yesterday’s Valentine
Who drew the short straw, baby?
Who drew the short straw, baby?
You drew the short straw, baby
You drew the short straw, baby.

A word to break the silence
In the fading dark of night
We tiptoe through the shadows
And burn in the twilight
‘though the silence is golden
Why are your lips so shy?
And ‘though I’ve looked into your eyes
I know they’ll never cry
You’ll never see the eyes
That hide behind the mirrored glass
They undress you slowly
But the picture never lasts
Face the facts
Every tomorrow has to come
A screeching halt on dead-end tracks
And all your days are done
See your name in lights
Tension gripping like a vice
Lips that mouth goodbye
And I just want to curl up and die
What we see
And what we seem
Are but a dream
A dream within a dream
See your name in lights
Tension gripping like a vice
Lips that mouth goodbye
And I just want to curl up and die
See your name in lights
Tension gripping like a vice
Lips that mouth goodbye
And I just want to curl up and die

Peut être demain
Lower the screen
And breathe in the scene
The distance between us, an ocean
Portraits in blue
Beauty and truth
Romance; a stream of emotion
You were the one (but now it’s over)
You were the one (cry on my shoulder)
You were the one (but now it’s over)
You were the one
Deceit and pain
She’ll cheat death again
The blood in her veins, an illusion
Promises sworn
Curtains are drawn
And pages are torn in confusion
You were the one (but now it’s over)
You were the one (cry on my shoulder)
You were the one (but now it’s over)
You were the one
You were the one (but now it’s over)
You were the one (cry on my shoulder)
You were the one (but now it’s over)
You were the one

Why do I cry now
Every time when you leave?
Did I hold you so close?
Is there nothing up my sleeve?
But I’d know the way home
If you led me all of the way (the way)
The clock on the wall
It stays out of time
The clock on the wall
It plays with my mind
But I know this feeling
I am still reeling over you (over you)
Now you’re all I wanted
You’re all I needed
And you’re all I prayed for
Take a look outside
I’m burning up inside
And I don’t know what I’m still doing here
All of your wishes
Will sleep with the fishes, my dear
Now you’re all I wanted
You’re all I needed
And you’re all I prayed for
You’re all I wanted
So why do I cry when you’re out of sight?
Switch your mind off to what’s wrong and what’s right
I never felt like this
Until I kissed your velvet lips
Now you’re all I wanted
You’re all I needed
And you’re all I prayed for
You’re all I wanted
You’re all I needed

Jimmy Brown, made of stone
Charlie clown, no way home
Bring on the dancing horses, headless and all alone
Shiver and say the words of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
And then I'm gonna break it 'til it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And I'm shaking while I'm breaking your brittle heart
Billy stands all alone
Sinking sand, skin and bone
Bring on the dancing horses wherever they may roam
Shiver and say the words of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
And then I'm gonna break it 'til it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And I'm shaking while I'm breaking your brittle heart
Brittle heart, brittle heart
Brittle heart and my little heart goes
Jimmy Brown, made of stone
Charlie Clown, no way home
Bring on the headless horses wherever they may roam
Shiver and say the words of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it 'til it falls apart
Hating all the faking
I'm shaking while you're breaking my brittle heart
Brittle heart, brittle heart
And our little heart goes
Bring on the new Messiah wherever he may roam
Bring on the new Messiah wherever he may roam
Bring on the new Messiah wherever he may roam
Bring on the new Messiah wherever he may roam

Dress me down like a liar
Ice to put out the fire
Bless me now, your kiss-and-tell
Girl, you do it all, all too well
So is it true?
Does he love you?
Am I fading?
Tell me Hell’s frozen over
There’s nothing ‘round the corner
She’s in my heart, in my mind
In my soul, but not my life.
So is it true?
Does he love you?
Am I fading?
I bet he’s stuck like glue
Upon each baby-blue
Nothing changes
