[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I hear the birds sing their song
But somehow the melody is wrong
I hear the wind calling your name
But for some reason it sounds too strange
[Chorus 1]
You will see
Where I'll be
You will know
Where to find me
You will see
Where I'll be
You will know
Where to find me
Hey (Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey)
[Verse 2]
The gleaming sun is burning on my head
Making every single little thought seem like an endless drag
What is there to pay when there is nothing you owe?
Dead men don't talk so we're out to never know
[Chorus 2]
But you will know
Where to go
I will wait
Till the sun is dead and cold
[Chorus 1]
You will see
Where I'll be
You will know
Where to find me
Hey (Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey)
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Wait! Til the sun is dead and cold
Wait! Til these ashes turn to gold

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There's something in the air tonight
The stars are all aligned
Every movement featherlight
Like we're high above the clouds
Strawberries and peaches are
Melting on my tongue
And what once used to be numb
Has come around
[Chorus]
Now there's no need to cry
Strolling through the velvet night
Blinded by the city lights
With nothing on my mind
[Bridge]
We're moving in slow motion
Spilling stardust into the ocean
[Verse 2]
Crimson coloured spirits keep on
Colouring my dreams
'Cause I'm talking in my sleep
When the lights are off
Dancing with the sugar fairies
Down the Milky Way
And I watch the people play
From up above
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Now there's no need to cry
Strolling through the velvet night
Blinded by the city lights
With nothing on my mind

Land Of Make-Believe

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You know how to work a lock
You've cracked those a million times before
You've learned it from the punks in your block
'Cause there's nothing left to do when you're troubled and bored
You've been to all the castles and the forts of the world
You've been with the soldier boys and the beautiful girls
You've seen the life of the past and the future's inventions
It's just the present time that doesn't catch your attention
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You've lived a thousand lives and you took even more
And it all happened behind closed doors
I look into your eyes and it's clear what they say
"The cuffs and the chains in this prison
They make me feel safe"
[Chorus]
In a Land of Make-Believe
And fake relief
You've gone astray
Being on the run gets you high
I had a dream that one fine day
You would escape
This losing game
And there would be no need to hide
[Verse 2]
You know how to sail a ship
You've done it a million times before
You're a hero with a bag full of tricks
Putting spells on those who grudge while helping the poor
You've travelled to the stars, through time and space
You've been driving fancy cars winning race after race
With a horse and a saddle you've been over the hills
From the Wild West to the Storming of the Bastille
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yeah you've lived a thousand lives and you saved even more
And it all happened behind closed doors
I look into your eyes and I see what they say
"The cuffs and the chains in this prison
They make me feel safe"
[Chorus]
In a Land of Make-Believe
And fake relief
You've gone astray
Being on the run gets you high
I had a dream that one fine day
You would escape
This losing game
And there would be no need to hide
[Bridge]
There's a life
There's a life for us to live
And a fear
A dreadful fear we gotta ditch
There's a life
There's a life for us to live
And a fear
A dreadful fear we gotta ditch
Na na naa na na
Na na naa na na na na
Na na naa na na
Na na naa na na na na
Na na naa na na
Na na naa na na na na
Na na naa na na
Na na naa na na na na
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
I feel safe inside the walls that I have built around me
But I'd be lying if I said it doesn't get lonely from time to time
But maybe it's not too late...
Ask me again later

What Can We Dream Of
04:01

|
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Night
So late
I lie
Awake
Looking for time to waste
Sun
At dawn
Carries on
Though the stars left her alone
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Nothing means everything
And everything means nothing, you see
Envisioning that we are something
But nothing is all we will ever be
[Verse 2]
You break
You get hurt
And it's like
You are cursed
And the world still turns
Madness
And love
Are tightly cuffed
Is there anything we can dream of?
[Instrumental]

Wide Horizon
05:27
|
|||
|
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The sound of silence
Woke me from my restless sleep
And the wide horizon
Cried out to be reached
But I feel so tired
Can't get myself to get ahead
Soon it'll backfire
'Cause some things might never come back
Did I really do my best?
[Instrumental Chorus]
[Bridge]
How does it feel to be all burned out
With a spark nowhere to be found
Wishing you could find that
Fuel again but
You just don't know
How does it feel to be all burned out
With a spark nowhere to be found
Wishing you could find that
Fuel again but
You just don't know
How does it feel to be all burned out
With a spark nowhere to be found
Wishing you could find that
Fuel again but
You just don't know
How
[Verse 2]
I guess I'm stranded
They left me in this lonesome place
But I understand it
I would have done the same
So I'll keep on moving
Back and forth through nowhere land
Where losers keep losing
Until they find their will again
Until I find my will again
[Breakdown]
[Guitar & Synthesizer Solo]

Love Is Free
02:44
|
|||
|
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
See you 'round six o'clock tonight
Snow covered streets and christmas lights
Feels like I haven't seen a sunny day in years
But the sky has never looked this crystal clear
We play our music in the dark
Our laughter echoes from afar
On nights like these I love to have nowhere to go
Yeah it's just me and you and you and me alone
(You and me alone)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
It's nice to have a dime on you
It's even nicer to have two
Can't buy the world but it's enough to make ends meet
Don't need a lot when tea is cheap and love is free
(Love is free, love is free, love is free)

Peace Of Mind
04:48

|||
|
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You call
But I hear nothing at all
Been tryin' to catch up with the time
And I lost my peace of mind
Years
And years, they dissapear
And it's driving me insane
I've become numb towards the pain
[Bridge]
The walls are caving in
And I'm still daydreaming
Of times we felt at ease
Before this misery
Days of laughter and bliss
Seem so meaningless
And I watch myself
Living a lie
Losing my peace of mind
Don't leave my high and dry
[Instrumental Break]
[Organ Solo]

The End
03:12
|
|||
|
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The world is on fire
No one is gonna save us now
We had heroes, we had liars
But now we are left to drown
[Bridge]
All the love and pain
Will fade away
As the stars collide (as the stars collide)
All the things we've done
All the songs we've sung
Will be on my mind
[Verse 2]
The end is near
Let me wipe your tears
There's no need to fear
As long as we're here
Side by side
One last goodbye
Sleep tight
It's gonna be alright
[Outro]
