The One To Let Her Know 02:42
lyrics
buy track
The One To Let Her Know There's a wildflower blooming in the darkness and there's nowhere else that she would rather go in my arms she pines for secrets to be given and there's mystery behind her eyes untold (Chorus) And I don't want to be the one to let her know she'd be safe with me though everywhere she goes there's a magic in her heart I'd like to harness and set free and I don't want to be the one to let her know Her pride and dignity are strong her man is on the road there's no way anyone would ever know though what if she decides I'm not worth the waste of time then the whispers on the streets are bound to grow (Chorus) I'll just bide my time until he dies or she's set free someday she'll be all mine and we will be but for now it's hard to see her and know deep down inside there's nowhere for our thoughts to go but hide (Chorus)

The Song Says It All 02:57
lyrics
buy track
The Song Says It All The song says it all even when you want to hide behind a wall everyone will know when you sing if you're a devil or a doll or a lover or a fighter on the prowl the song says it all with inflection and the whispers of your throat like the way you take off and toss your coat well the song says it all (Chorus) It's plain to me I don't want to be seen or judged anymore that my friend must be what all this noodling around is for no songs seem to come my way anymore But the song says it all I'll be looking for a new rhyme in her eyes I'll be thriving if I find a new disguise sweetest remedy to living all the lies well the songs say it all and no matter where the melodies will fall I'll pick up on the groove that hit a wall no song too great or small well the song says it all (Chorus) The song says it all even when you want to hide behind a wall everyone will know when you sing if you're a devil or a doll or a lover or a fighter on the prowl the song says it all with inflection and the whispers of your throat like the way you take off and toss your coat well the song says it all

Dead Again 02:58
lyrics
buy track
Dead Again So this is where it began here I am again dying slow back to the old familiar shadows and what I used to know (Chorus) Dead again another friend just say when I'm waiting dead again spirit pretends to wait again while I'm fading So this is back to used to be what I see now is illusions driving so long I forgot the mystical intrusion (Chorus) (Bridge) So where may I lay if I stay? Another forgotten renegade While you wish for whoever I am to be more than what I give away (Chorus)

Men On A Mission 02:40
lyrics
buy track
Men On A Mission There's revolution in the air and no one wants to hide Somebody's is freeing all the prisoners taking good people inside and there's passports being sold to every man on the run and they'll give you all the gold but you gotta have a gun The prisoners know what to do they've been locked in their haven and thinking up ideas to sweep the dust off their shoes and run for the mountains not until the coast is clear but it really doesn't matter they just wanna get out of here (Chorus) Oh yeah men on a mission the fight to see who will win oh yeah men on a mission who did you think would win in the end? They hijacked a jet plane and took off into the night they stuck to their plans kept a good eye on their guns someone's temper broke loose someone fired in a rage they went down in history as the men who died in vain (Chorus)

Standing On The Outside 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Standing On The Outside I close my eyes to the way I feel now I know you're glad to have found some new love That's good enough for me praying misery won't overtake me I'm hurting I'm hurting Now my dreams are gone from your long necklace I'm standing on the outside looking in The pain is a reminder of the loneliness you recently parted ways with I'm hurting I'm hurting (Chorus) Your shoulder would be the better place for me You've chosen to be someone else's dream I'm standing on the outside looking in I'm standing on the outside looking in I'm hurting I'm hurting I close my eyes to the way I feel now I know you're glad to have found some new love That's good enough for me praying misery won't overtake me I'm hurting I'm hurting (Chorus)

There's A Meaning 04:02
lyrics
buy track
There's A Meaning There's a meaning in all of this There's a rhythm in the wind There's a freedom in this kiss There's a feeling I have missed There is closure to the hours climbing society's towers there's a shiver in the mist there is meaning in all of this We can't be running from the tides when there's no better place to hide keeping all the pain inside All the trust in me has died there was freedom in this kiss there is meaning in all of this Prophets find a way knowing sacred people stay there's a story gone astray from the love we should have made there's a bird flying away and there's somewhere she will play again she will never weigh the winter winds so cold and gray there was freedom in this kiss there is meaning in all of this We can't be running for the tides when there's no better place to hide keeping all the pain inside All the trust in me has died there was freedom in this kiss there is meaning in all of this there was freedom in this kiss there is meaning in all of this

It's A Sin To Lie 03:22

buy track
It's A Sin To Lie (Chorus) You know baby it's a sin to lie You know baby it's a sin to lie The only trust I'm having Lord is I'm gonna see you on the other side And I'm tired of trying trying to get along And I'm tired of trying trying to get along I wish it took so much longer for people to find something wrong (Chorus) Wish you the best in your new black cadillac Wish you the best in your new black cadillac Hope you find that gas station and that you're never coming back (Chorus)

Go Back To The Femme Fatale You can go back to the femme fatale Go back to the femme fatale part your lips slightly dreaming of what's behind you Are you a taker How much can you take? are you a taker how much can you take? Find a dark corner where your soul can thrive know it's all you ever wanted besides your knack to survive this is a crazy world might as well be alive You can go back to the femme fatale go back to the femme fatale go back to the femme fatale go back to the femme fatale oh yeah Giving by taking is what it's all about with someone behind you you can't do without Giving by taking is what it's all about with someone behind you you can't do without You can go back to the femme fatale go back to the femme fatale go back to the femme fatale go back to the femme fatale

I Tried 03:04
lyrics
buy track
I Tried When you're gone it takes a while to find myself again I remember who I was way back when back before the walls were built and the concrete it dried I can fool myself that I'm fulfilled or I can say I tried I tried to move the world with songs nobody seems to hear I tried to fit with people who never let me near I tried to fall in love again there's nowhere to go from here It's been a while since I cried but I tried I'm going to the carnival to watch them fun and games watch these empty people with all them famous names and maybe I'll be swept away and so glad I didn't hide and fool myself that I'm fulfilled and I can say I tried.

Refugees 03:43
lyrics
buy track
Refugees Some days we're miles from the weather Miles from the world we know Some days we can't walk together And the blood from the levee flows Some days we live through the sanctions Nights where life can't go on in the cold mist God speaks before us And through His light we may find a song Jezebel died in my arms Solstice passed with great tears A bomb went off in the clearing Exploded out lives into fear Somehow we painted pictures Picked flowers and songs with our hands Decorated mother's tombstone So that we may find her again The refugees deserted misfortune Headed down the road for some more We prayed although God wouldn't heed us Though it set fire to the unknown Deep down inside we lay dreaming Of things that were destined to stay We lit cigarettes from the gravel While the brush fires called out for aid
