Come Alive 03:14
There in your corner you just stay as you are Try not to shiver you may show what you are Leave no evidence of your own poor existence One of a kind which will never make a difference Oh heaven knows when you will come alive will you come alive? When morning breaks upon you and shatters all your dreams You'll see your vague reflection drifting down the stream And someone else is standing where yourself once used to be You gave away your freedom in your struggle to be free.
2.
Come down with me to the land of make belief I'll show you things that you thought you'd never see Grass in the meadows, sands upon the shores Real as it feels Come down with me and hold on through the shades Things can get peculiar if you catch the king of spades Come down with me and hold on to the breeze Dare yourself to question Dare yourself to enter your own dreams A pretty face is what you wear To tell your tales, to make up stories Oh but I don't know if that really suits you Just come as you are
3.
Something in the sun make you lose your sense of measure Something in the sun makes it seem a lot of pleasure But don't you know you've got to have a go Until you try you will never know Something in the sun It ain't right Something in the sun You don't seem to be there anymore Something in the sun Can you see where you are heading for? But before you fade to the other side Lose your pretty head to a borrowed mind Something in the sun it ain't right There's nothing on You're just too fucked up to get on

Mr. Nice 04:29
Mr. Nice getting through the day Stand aside. you're getting in the way Morning comes and morning goes and you're still wandering the land of Oz Morning comes and morning goes and you still haven't figured where to go Attention is what you need the most Intention, You had some now it's lost Winter comes and winter goes and you still fuss about the word of God Winter comes and winter goes and you still haven't found your perfect guide Perfection, We all could use a touch Aggression, A double bladed knife Anyway you throw the dice whatever comes you're not the winning kind Anyway you throw the dice you always end up flat upon the ice How many will you take before you learn? How much will you waste before you burn?
5.
Call on me and I will call on you, if you please Talk to me and I will talk to you, it's a deal I will set you free if you just let me be king of the world Lay your heart upon my empty hand and you will rescue me Oh you don't fool me now with tears in your eyes Come to me and I will always be when you need Send for me and I will come to thee immediately There will never be another one to be a better king of the world Lay some power in this mighty fist and I will let you see
6.
Someone 04:18
Safe and sorry, young and weary With the wrinkles all the same No one's looking, no one's speaking No one dares to take the blame Yet there's got to be someone... Pains and killers, conscious dreamers Still, they seem to sleep their share Fallen babies, maybe babies Fill the spaces with the mares Hey there lonely boy Leave no room for things to fall Hey there lonely boy Let nobody in, however small
7.
Wandering 04:05
I'm scared to try I was led to believe I'm not the kind I left my home Trying to find a decent place to call my own But I was wrong There is no place where I belong and here I am, Wandering where I'm going now Across the skies I was drawn by a comet passing by I sought the star that would bear my name in flames throughout the dark But it was long Before I realized that mine's the star I'm on And now I'm yours I can't wait until it's time for us to come across And time is time It takes one second for one second to go by and it's too much I feel the fire burn my senses all inside

I am a Dream 04:11
I had a dream and she was sitting by me I asked her who she was I am the dream you spend a lifetime chasing looking for a trace in every face you see I am a dream, that's all I'll ever be to you And as she spoke her eyes were looking through me My guard was crystal clear You'll learn to know that for a little of me you'll have to compromise to realize your need I am a dream, that's all I'll ever be... Without fixing on a guiding star you never really know where you are an empty heart won't get you far Up then she stood she said the dawn is coming I must be on my way And I awoke rain tapping on my window Words from the sky that multiply in waves I am a dream, that's all I'll ever be to you
9.
Diamonds 04:11
The morning dew rests on her head She turns her face towards you She shivers slight She feels it always with your first ray of light Round and round, you unveil the ground and the queen of darkness sheds her gown And her laughter is ivy on the pounding of your heart and your tears fall around me like diamonds from the sky And through the clouds of rain you send her rainbows every now and again For April days To wear when you have withered winter away sway away, across the milky way dancing to the rhythm of the day Again the night is queen and wraps a velvet shadow over the green With a million eyes you watch her sleep awaiting dawn with a sigh
10.
Red 04:28
You've got the monster's eyes You've got the monster's breath You can have me running You can haunt me only 'till I wake You're just a thing of the past You're just a face in my mind You can hold me under 'till I'm old enough to forget Night and again I lay awake in my bed and looking out of my window I see the moon turn to red and I can offer no resistance 'cause I know Now it's time to go You've go to be the one (We're invincible) You are the evil one (We are in control) You will never cease you will find no peace (Under the sun) You have me where you want (There is nothing we don't touch) I know your heart is not for sale. Stay Away
11.
Talk to Me 04:04
Wild horses after me I'm standing by a shady tree I look around what do I see The muses gather at my heels The fruit of fate is ready to pop and when they will they'll never stop Words whispered in my ear loud and clear, now you can talk to me Oh what monstrosity The mirror lied again to me I was betrayed now I must flee The lady hunter's at my heels I happened by a stream where she bathed But was it I or she who said I know you'd come to me eventually, now you can talk to me You know there's nothing new under the sun and everything you do has already been done Dreams and reality have joined to play their tricks on me And I'm out seeking sanctuary Am I my own mind's refugee? The writing is up there to see But when I look the wall caves down on me Sweet dream won't you come to me? I'm ready here, now you can talk to me
12.
Fred is a martyr He trades his body for a better soul Now he's a mortal Well, it seems good souls die too He's had about a thousand lives Never mind, he'll get it right next time Flora's a prophet She can tell what is next to come For a little profit she will add some good news Flo She's getting a bit predictable Never mind, she'll get it right next time Rob is a waiter Waits around for his ship to come Now he's a waitress So he reckons he's got a better chance He's on a raft but he can steer Never mind, he'll get it right next time Eleanor Knows Everything... Alice has gone far enough so she became a nun But she couldn't live too long on her own without some wicked fun Now I hear she's back in town Never mind, she'll get it right next time Now all you people out there in the mud feeling odd with the strange secrets you hide You may think you're singular But in fact you're just like everyone So come on in and join the fun Never mind, we'll get it right next time
