"Far And Away"

Across the long last great divide
The distant longing never dies
And all the pain of a dream that was never known
Never fades, no
That's alright, someday I'll find you
I tell myself most every night

You seem so far and away
Another life, another time and place
Oh, oh, if only I could find you
So far and away
There's something lost and never will replace
It seems so far away

A love I'll never come to see
You know I tried, can't let it be
My body aches for the longing only grows every day
I only bleed when I'm all alone
They say in time get here tomorrow
But to me that's just a lie

You seem so far and away
Another life, another time and place
Oh, oh, if only I could find you
So far and away
I'm waiting on a miracle today
It seems so far away

[Solo]

So if you hear this last refrain
I hope you know that I still wait
I can't let go, all I need is a miracle
And today all I need is a miracle
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

It seems so far and away
Another life, another time and place
Oh, oh, I hope these words will find you
So far and away
It's something lost that never will replace
No, I'm begging for a miracle today
Hey, hey, hey

[Solo]

And I wait so long to find you
And I wait so long to live
So alone, so alone

"Shots Fired"

If I could stand for something
I would turn the bitter tide
I would turn it on the pain I've come to know
And calm the storm that never dies

I'm hearing
Shots fired
Out of range
They wanna see me in a blood soaked grave
But still I live to die another day

I can feel it from a distance
All the venom and the spite
It's not enough for though I've given them my all
Impossible to satisfy

I'm hearing
Shots fired
Out of range
They wanna see me in a blood soaked grave
But still I live to die another day

Shots fired
Out of range
They wanna see me in a blood soaked grave
But still I live to die another day

Another day
For I've heard it all before
It's all in vain
You won't shoot me down

Shots fired
Out of range
They wanna see me in a blood soaked grave
But still I live to die another day

Shots fired
Out of range
They wanna see me in a blood soaked grave
But still I live to die another day

"Carolina"

Under city lights
You got mesmerized
You forgot where you are from
And who you are

Such a tragedy
You were young and free
Did you ever think
That you'd fall so far

Turn it on tonight
Carolina
Till the morning light
Carolina

I remember when
You were innocent
I remember what you were
My dirty rose

Never happy now
You're just selling out
Easy street is drenched in tears
You know it's never paved in gold

Turn it on tonight
Carolina
Till the morning light
Carolina

Just leave your dirty little secrets for a while
Just leave your dirty little secrets for a while
Let me make it alright

[Solo]

Turn it on tonight
Carolina
Till the morning light
Carolina

Turn it on tonight
Carolina
Till the morning light
Carolina

"Crazy Life"

I was two years lost, so don't recall
Never did see the light
And if up to you
You know it's true
You probably wouldn't be alive

Had the Devil on our shoulder
With a death wish on our mind
Well the hounds of Hell
They knew us well
They were never too far behind

We were singing

Someday, we'll look back if we get out alive
It's a crazy life
Someday, we'll get out of this crazy life

You had long black hair
The Devils stare
Oh, you were a mystery
Always come around
To bring me down
Do a little bit for free

You couldn't get your shit together
Couldn't bring yourself to right
'cause it's hard to tell
When you're so unwell
If you're in Hell or paradise

We were singing

Someday, we'll look back if we get out alive
It's a crazy life
Someday, we'll get out of this crazy life

Sometimes it's hard to see it
When you're sucked down and reeling
So hard to pull back in from the tide
It's a crazy life

[Solo]

I was two years lost, so don't recall
Never did see the light
And if up to you
You know it's true
You probably wouldn't be alive

We were singing

Someday, we'll look back if we get out alive
It's a crazy life
Someday, we'll get out of this crazy life
We'll get out alive

"World On Fire"

Well, they say that we are tragic
And they say we're born to lose
You're the misfit, I'm the sinner
You're the heathen, I'm the fool
But, today, you'll be the master or the slave
It's up to you
Oh my beautiful disaster
Take me any way you choose

Don't fight it
Ignite it
This much I'm sure

I think it's time to set this world on fire (this world on fire)
I think it's time to push it to the edge (to the edge)
Burn it to the ground and trip the wire (just trip the wire)
It may never be this good again

It's like a new religion
Speak in tongues, come see the light
Do not trip on inhibitions that will only waste my time
Let me tempt you with the evils of the flesh and so much more
Like a Babylon redeemer
Like a pusher, like a whore

Just try it
You'll like it
I'll give you more...

I think it's time to set this world on fire (this world on fire)
I think it's time to push it to the edge (to the edge)
Burn it to the ground and trip the wire (just trip the wire)
It may never be this good again

It's so dark, I can't see
All the truth inside us
All I want is to feel something that's real before the end...

Close the door
Turn the key
Do you like what you see?
Kill the lights
Oh, come to me
Set it off tonight
Baby, just like fire to gasoline...

I think it's time to set this world on fire (this world on fire)
I think it's time to push it to the edge (to the edge)
I'm so fucking bored so trip the wire (just trip the wire)
It may never be this good again

Just trip the wire
(Just trip the wire)
This world's on fire
(This world's on fire)
Just trip the wire
(Just trip the wire)

It may never be this good again...

"Shadow Life"

A shadow life
Will only break your heart
It steals the light
And tears a soul apart
Like a shadow in the dark

I know you're living in a shadow life
Better watch your step
Should you stumble
You're gonna fall

'Cause dirty secrets are the killing kind
Rope around your neck
It's a wonder
You breathe at all

You turn a blind eye and I hold on
You're a fool, will it ever change?
Why can't you ever see?

The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like I said before

It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark

I can feel it when you're under me
There is something else
There is something I can't let go

Never silence to the misery
Feel it in your sex
Every time that we're all alone

And still you just deny it all
But I can't take this anymore
But I can turn away

The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like I said before

It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark

It's coming
It's coming
It haunts us and tears us apart

Just like a shadow in the dark

You're a shadow in the dark

The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like I said before

It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark

I feel it when you're under me
There's a dirty secret to this misery, yeah

The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like a shadow in the dark

You're a shadow in the dark

"Automatic Overdrive"

My baby's high
She's in overdrive
She's a fiend out on the floor
She's a shot of pain
She's a drop dead paramour

She comes around
And she turns it out
Her disease I can't ignore
Puts it to the red like I've never seen before

But it's all right
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night
Never slowing down till she sees the light

She always says she's sick and tired
Of the pressure and the pain
Bearing down on her like a ten ton suicide

How many times I tell her
If she keeps running at this pace
She'll be long burned out
Before she can ever reach the line

But it's all right
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night
Never slowing down till she sees the light

She's running free
She's running hard
That's all she needs
To reach the top

She's so obscene
She's all I've got
My motor queen
Don't ever stop
Oh I want to do it again

'Cause it's all right
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night
Never slowing down till she sees the light

'Cause it's all right
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night
Never slowing down till she sees the light

But it's all right
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night
Never slowing down till she sees the light

But it's all right
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night
She ain't slowing down till she scores tonight

"Wicked Stone"

Last night in paradise
I can feel it down in my bones

Left the good Lord behind
Now I die on the vine
Waiting for my redemption song

I am never safe
Just a walking bomb

In a midnight rage
And I'm gone

I'm getting off this wicked stone
'Cause I can't stay and I can't deny that

All I want is lost
No I can't face another night on this wicked stone

I rolled and tumbled down
And I cursed till the morning light

From the mountain I fell
To the depths of a hell
I was destined and born to find

Once a rolling stone
Now a falling star

Once so close to home
Now so far

I'm getting off this wicked stone
'Cause I can't stay and I can't deny that

All I want is lost
No I can't face another night on this wicked stone

Now you might say I'm good for nothing
And I might say that you are right

Cannot crawl away
From this ball and chain
It's got me tethered to a world of pain

I'm digging my own grave this time
On this wicked stone tonight

I'm getting off this wicked stone
'Cause I can't stay and I can't deny that

All I want is lost
No I can't face another night on this wicked stone

"30 Years To Life"

So the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
For what could be your destiny
You never know

I never meant to be here
I never even tried
But until you know
When you’re lost and down
You come to trouble in time

It was a cold December
A rip city night
In a steel toe rage
Made a big mistake
Now I’ll be doing time

I was running with the order
I was running out of time
Now for me there is no quarter
I don’t want to be here
I don’t want to die

Serving 30 years to life
What I did I can’t deny
Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade

I remember it so well
The night I sent that boy to Hell
Lord, I’m sorry for the error of my ways

They sent me on a mission
Out to earn my stripes
Should have known damn well
When the curb stomp fell
Things would never be right

I was running with the order
I was running out of time
Now for me there is no quarter
I don’t want to be here
How many nights I've cried

Serving 30 years to life
What I did I can’t deny
Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade

I remember it so well
The night I sent that boy to Hell
Lord, I’m sorry for the error of my ways

‘Cause now I know
Now I know
I was wrong and I can’t let this go

I know
Now I know
I am sorry
What a wretched soul
What a big mistake

Now I’m growing old
18 years or more to go
I waste way in this cage
I’m all alone

That’s how the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
For what could be
Your destiny
You never know

‘Cause when you’re running with the order
You’re only running out of time
Now for me there is no quarter
I didn’t want to be here
I don’t want to die

Serving 30 years to life
What I did I can’t deny
Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade

My regret I know it well
But it’s too late to save myself
Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways

So the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
For the sorrow in my heart will never fade

So the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
Yes I’m sorry for the error of my ways

"Bent To Fly"

Mama, don't you cry
Don't you worry
I cannot stay here any longer

The time has come to find
A distant calling
That only seems to get much stronger

And I know it's hard
To see the one you come to lean on make his way

Far beyond the womb
But I can't stay

I won't stop running
I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time

The sky is calling
The wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama, I'm bent to fly

Remember yesterday
Before the storm
Before the innocence was lost

I promised I would stay
Forevermore
But every boy in time moves on

Your wounds will heal someday
This I know
But I am restless and so torn
Mama, I can't stay here anymore

I won't stop running
I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time

The sky is calling
The wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama, I'm bent to fly

I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising
Gotta say my last goodbye

Mama, don't you cry
Don't you worry
I cannot stay here any longer

I won't stop running
I'm only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time

The sky is calling
The wind is at my shoulders
Won't let this chance pass me by
Mama, I'm bent to fly

Mama, I'm bent to fly

I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising
I gotta say my last goodbye
