1. Star

Star
you're a star
ya be careful what you're wishin' for
all your dreams comin' true
star
yes you are
you're now bigger than venus and mars
you can run but you can't hide
son you're gonna' make it
chance you're gonna' take it
tinsel town callin' your name
penny in your pocket
walkin' like a prophet
a fortune teller claimin' your fame
arrivin' in style on the red carpet mile
to the left to the right step aside
as you wave to the crown a voice cries out loud
look at you you're the new overnight sensation
star
you're a star
ya be careful what you're wishin' for
all your dreams comin' true
star
yes you are
you're now bigger than venus and mars
you can run but you can't hide
love and hate related
privacy invaded
a paparazzi's public domain
dirty little secret ya she couldn't keep it
at least you made it on the front page
tabloids be told all that glitters ain't gold
not a muse drug abuse suicide
as you're left all alone after sellin' your soul
in the aisle smile ready for your close up
star
you're a star
ya be careful what you're wishin' for
all your dreams comin' true
star
yes you are
you're now bigger than venus and mars
you can run but you can't hide
stars
in your eyes
got your piece of the pie in the sky
don't look down as you hang on
star
you're a star
ya be careful what you're wishing for
all your dreams coming true
star
yes you are
you're now bigger than venus and mars
you can run but you can't hide
stars
in your eyes
got your piece of the pie in the sky
don't look down as you hangin' on
hangin' on
(for your life)
for your life
you're better off dead than alive
(you're better off dead than alive)
then they'll love you forever


2. Comfortably Dumb

I’m paralysed,
Process information at the speed of light
I’m frozen
In motion
Desensitized
Over stimulated matter over mind
It’s too bad
I have become
Comfortably dumb

I must confess,
Highly educated in my ignorance
Not stupid
Still lucid
Indifferent
Watching a world amuse itself to death
I'm muted
I have become
Comfortably dumb
I have become
Comfortably dumb

What? When?
Why? Where?
How come?
Who cares?
Knock, knock
Who's there?
No one
How come?
Who cares?

I have become
Comfortably dumb
I have become
Comfortably dumb

Take me away
So far away
So far away
Won't somebody
Take me away
Take
Take it all away
Take it, take, take it…. Take it, take


3. Learn To Love

Don’t want to fall in love
Don’t want to fall in love again
And you don’t know where I’ve been
Don’t want to fall in love again

I will not fall,
Is it a matter of love, or a matter of pride?
Can’t stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don’t make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I’ll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again

Better to love and lose than never ever love at all?
So tell me something new, tell me why do fools fail?
Tell me why, yeah why do they fall?

Ain’t a matter of love, it’s a matter of pride
Can’t stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don’t make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I’ll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again

I should have known it all along
I should have know that I…

Can’t stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don’t make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I’ll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again
So if you want my love no need to ask
And if you need my love forget the past
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn how to love again


4. Take Us Alive

Your mama told you,
Told you to stay away
Papa done scold you girl,
Don’t hear a word he say
He said
Over my body
No star-crossed lover lay

You can run, I can hide
And we’ll meet each other
On the other side
Don’t you worry pretty baby
They’ll never take us alive

Tell me you’re leaving it,
Leaving it all behind
Better believe in me,
Never treat you unkind
(a little closer girl)
Come take my hand child
I’ll love you
For a million miles

You can run, I can hide
And we’ll meet each other
On the other side
Don’t you worry pretty baby
They’ll never take us alive

Save our souls, save our souls…
Save our sould, save our souls…

You better run, I gotta hide
And we’ll meet each other
On the other side
Don’t you worry pretty baby
They’ll never take us alive

You better run, and I can hide
And we’ll meet each other
On the other side
Don’t you worry pretty baby
They’ll never take us
Don’t you worry pretty mamma
They’ll never take us
Don’t you worry pretty baby
They’ll never take us alive


5. Run

Hey, let me know, let me know
Let me know when you get there
Hey, so you got to go, you’re leaving what a pity
Hey, take your time, take a life time,
Time to find out
The world is yours so go out and get it

And you run, when you know there’s no escape
You can’t hide from your mistakes
Should have known it all along

Hey, spinning round, spinning round
Paint the town as the world turn
Hey, hit the ground running round in the circles
Hey, nothing new, nothing new
Nothing new to discover
And you still haven’t found what you’re looking..for

And you run, when you know there’s no escape
You can’t hide from your mistakes
Should have known it all along

And you run, when you know there’s no escape
You can’t hide from your mistakes
Should have known it all along

So you run, never bothered to explain
Left me here with all the blame
Thought you wanted to be loved


6. Last Hour

As stories go,
This one’s been told
Another heart broken,
Left out in the cold
With one variation
The difference this time,
This one is mine,
Since you’ve been gone
You’ve stolen my heart
As for the rest of me
I’ve fallen apart
In my desperation
My only prayer
Handle with care

Cos I don’t know
What to do
Wasting my time
Wondering through
Wondering why
What’s it all worth
My last hour on earth
My last hour

So in the end
You were the one
Something so right
Could never be wrong
Without hesitation
I’ll tell you the truth
I’m still waiting for you

Cos I don’t know
What to do
Wasting my time
Wondering through
Wondering why
What’s it all worth
My last hour on earth
My last hour

Cos I don’t know
What to do
Wasting my time
Wondering through
Wondering why
What’s it all worth
It’s worth everything
Yeah my everything is you
It’s worth everything
Yeah my everything is you
It’s worth everything
Yeah my everything


7. Flower Man

He speaks of meekness
Being no sign of weakness
Gently placing the flower in the gun
Well intended pacifism a naïve idealism
Singing his favourites Lennon song
Bleeding heart insisting preach
The path of least resisting
Milk and honey rolling off his tongue
War is not the answer turn the other cheek
And offer sacrificing on the altar of love

Flower man
Singing lets all
Give peace a chance
Flower man
Keep you head
Buried in the sand
Flower man
You’re my enemy’s
Best friend
Flower man
You misguided utopian

Peace in appeasing
Like it’s always in season
Never needed to weather the storm
Betting on your better angels
Ignoring human nature in truth
Red tooth and in claw
Lion and lamb lay
In your land of make pretend
Forgetting every soldier and son
Lest you care
To measure all the blood
And the treasure
Must be something worth
Fighting for. No?
Is it worth fighting for?

Flower man
Singing lets all
Give peace a chance
Flower man
Keep you head
Buried in the sand
Flower man
You’re my enemy’s
Best friend
Flower man
Liberty
Is a well armed lamb

Ladies and gentleman
I give you flower man

Love is on the way
Love is on the way
Or so they say

He speaks of meekness
Being no sign of weakness
Gently placing the flower in the gun
Well intended pacifism a naïve idealism
Singing his favourites Lennon song
Bleeding heart insisting preach
The path of least resisting
Milk and honey rolling off his tongue
War is not the answer turn the other cheek
And offer sacrificing on the altar of love

Flower man
Singing lets all
Give peace a chance
Flower man
Keep you head
Buried in the sand
Flower man
You’re my enemy’s
Best friend
Flower man
Liberty
Is a well armed lamb


8. King Of The Ladies

Let me introduce you to my time machine
See my suped up bird spread her golden wings
Going back in black through my neighbourhood
My main street middle class Hollywood

Jenny’s all jet-set Purple Rain cassette
Looking like she was the queen of the 80’s

And if knew back then
What I know right now
Yeah you know I’d be the king of the ladies
If I knew back then
What I know right now
You know I’de be the king of the ladies
And if knew back then
What I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes

Just an average Joe making minimum wage
Burger flipping on the beach
Instead of hitting the wave
When the girls walk by with their copper tone tan
Sucker punching the clocks, stop working for the man
Well there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
Oh Candy, oh would you save me?

And if knew back then
What I know right now
Yeah you know I’d be the king of the ladies
If I knew back then
What I know right now
You know I’de be the king of the ladies
And if knew back then
What I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes

If I knew back then
What I know right now
You know I’de be the king of the ladies
And if knew back then
What I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes

I walked up to the dance in the high school gym
This girl with drop-dead legs, I’m moving in
You know must have been the Dj spinning Billie Jean
I tapped Nikki on the shoulder told dance with me
It’s like that scene from Grease
The way we bumped to the beat
I had the girl give me the slip
She got away from me

Cos if I knew back then
What I know right now
You know I’de be the king of the ladies
If I knew back then
What I know right now
You know I’de be the king of the ladies
And if knew back then
What I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then
What I know right now
You know I’de be the king of the ladies
And if knew back then
What I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then
What I know right now
You know I’de be the king of the ladies
And if knew back then
What I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then
What I know right now
You know I’de be the king of the ladies
And if knew back then
What I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes


9. Ghost

Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast, past this place
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should cry before they lay me down

Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head

Shelter from the storm when I sleep
There's comfort in the morn, a siren sings
If only for a moment, I can breathe
The thought of you comes crashing through on me

Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head

Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast past has played
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should die before I lay me down

I'm sorry for the way, the way I treated you
A little bit too late, but if you only knew
I'd take away the pain, pain I put you through
I'd do it all again walking in your shoes

There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head


10. Slide




11. Interface

Don't just sit there and stare at me
Don't just sit there and watch me bleed
I'm losing you and you you're losing me
I'm tired of what we are
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm losing you and you you're losing me

Face lies flat
I see my reflection
Download thoughts
But your files are corrupted

Don't just sit there and stare at me
Don't just sit there and watch me bleed
I'm losing you and you you're losing me
I'm tired of what we are
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm losing you and you you're losing me

Time stands still and your frozen in motion
I held down your escape
But you're crashing
You're crashing

Don't just sit there and stare at me
Don't just sit there and watch me bleed
I'm losing you and you you're losing me
I'm tired of what we are
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm losing you and you you're losing me

Don't just sit there and stare at me
Don't just sit there and watch me bleed
I'm losing you and you you're losing me
I'm tired of what we are
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm losing you
We're losing
We're losing
We're losing
