Hello! Your neighborhood good dog calling
Sniffing round for a good time
Walking a generous line
Should I leave it all to your imagination?
For fear of being cast aside
If I shared what's on my mind
- A House Next Door To The Hole
A House Next door to the Hole
Go inform the neighbors there’s a crisis. Hold off on the details of your thesis. They know about the dance of destruction in a house next door to the hole. Sure to be a battle ‘gainst the embers and the smoke. You stick together, doesn’t matter when you now the hand of evil holds the lease upon a house next door the hole. We’ve got a house next door to the hole….
Where everyday an angel’s going absent, and the Decil’s calling role. Everybody’s busy raisin’ their arms. Try to tell’em patience is a virtue! How are they supposed to know if anybody’s gonna ring the alarm?
Four p.m. and sunshine is a no show. We’ve horded up the sacrament. Tomorrow you can blow a kiss goodbye to friendly faces in a house next door to the gole. Power’s gonna pop from all the pressure. Important was the nightlife, not the nature. But now we got the Devil in the structure of a house next door to the hole. We’ve got a house next door to the hole.
- Beck and Call
Keep on saying you’ll never go
Keep pretending
You never know when you’ll need him
Pray suspicions never grow
Show him you’re a ghost till the moment
You meet him
And then turn those brown eyes blind
If he dares ask for kindness
- Big Game
Can you give me a reason
I shouldn't doubt you?
When you say that you won't bite me
Back for all of those scars I've
Laid down upon you
The change of the season accepted her medal
For revealing the monster in me
Now everyone can see me hand you the rifle
- Bis du wieder singst
Ein Jahrzehnt, lebe ich als Fassade nur...
Ein Jahrzehnt, quäl' ich mich ab mit Schall und Rauch!
Tief in mir klingt Musik überirdisch und strahlend, doch ich weiß...
Ohne dich kommt sie niemals empor!
Ah, Christine.... Ah, Christine... So weit fort. So weit fort.
Der Tag kommt, der Tag geht, ohne Halt.
Und die Nacht legt sich um mich.
Im Dunkeln hier flieht selbst der Schlaf vor mir....
- Black Cathedral
Black Cathedral
If you let me go, You’ll force me to show yout doubt wasn’t wrong tonight.
Yeah, I smiled, and said, “I know”. This slick, seasoned pro’s gone and blown out your sunlight.
And you never stood a snowball’s chance in…
You’ll learn to love the steps we’ve been dancing
Easy love is in the past…
- Breakthrough
Breakthrough
Bathe your pain in their rainstorm of smiles. Guess I’ll wait for the weather to change. I’m out of date here. You’re bent on displaying your grace, escaping life’s dangers…
You’re making a breakthrough, but you’re breaking me down. I’ve got no one to cling to, now that you’ve turned you catastrophes around.
No more shake in your show. No more, “Lover, I think I’m losing my mind!” No more punching through problems of stone. Just one job left. It’s leaving behind the man on your side.
You’re making a breakthrough, but you’re breaking me down. I’ve got no one to cling to, now that you’ve turned you catastrophes around.
- Casanova's Waltz
Bring your bag full of nails and follow me to my private Golgotha
Press your blade and pin him down
It's time for the player to pay for his game
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To build someone worth your perfection
I'm paying the price for your blue eyes
But I'm happy to live out the blessed infection
The time has come for Casanova's waltz to end
- Collision
I feel the shakes coming on
My good side took the back way out
Who knew you’d see this man so soon
Hey lets just start with sorry
I’m way beyond shadow of doubt
I feel the trouble in me
Welcome to the party
- Comet
God it’s nice up here
I could stay for days
Away from their embrace
Always friends with fear
Always last to say
I’ll make home of this place
But I’m gonna be a stranger now
And every 7 years swoop down for fun
- Comfortable High
Comfortable High
What was it you were trying to tell me? Feels like I fainted at the top of the stairs. And since my impact, every memory’s faded, cloudy and weak, but it’s alright. I’ll be fine. Just shade the light from my eyes. Lay down upon me! Help me get through tonight.
You’re giving me the shakes.
Giving me a fright.
After giving me a reason for living up to all I could be.
Casting me down from my comfortable high.
- Dancing In Ashes And Shadow
Dancing in ashes and Shadow
Time on my hands and wine on my tongue, bound to show you’re bounf to see the worst in me. Wait, this won’t take long. See, you’ve made some plans to go and have fun. Now it’s down to the demons you ran away from.
So let’s start the show…
Let’s set this off…
Watch the explosion to see where the sparks go…
Giggle, and burn this damn place down…
- Die unstillbare Gier
Endlich Nacht. Kein Stern zu sehen.
Der Mond versteckt sich,
denn ihm graut vor mir.
Kein Licht im Weltenmeer.
Kein falscher Hoffnungsstrahl.
Nur die Stille. Und in mir
die Schattenbilder meiner Qual.
- Does This Hurt
Does this hurt?
One can’t be sure
Could you give us a smile
Always eager to go first
Now you seem uncertain
Stunned into silence
Hey, I thought I knew you
Hey, look what we did to a partnership
- Fly on the Wall
For all that we know, she ain’t doing so well
A splash of brand new cologne on her neck
Says she’s lonely
Tell me ‘bout all those hours on the phone
Crying her pretty brown eyes out
I’m on my knees
Spill me the details of all that you saw
- Go Find Your Man
Light your candle blow your horn
the mighty one has fallen down
ruffled feathers soon will be for ever smooth
if you move an inch i can no longer hold you
So i won’t say it is the best card in the hand
no one can saddle the will and make for the hills
I will have to understand
go find your man
- Hurricane
Hurricane
Tranquil and clean, until you drowned me in my daydreams. Never a saint to warm me. funny how demons rise aboce. Soaked to the skin with how you loved me. I never saw your hidden hurricane coming. Now what would I give for high and dry?
Bottom, it seems, miles below my feet. You seeped in. Polluted all my extremes. With oily allure, you’ll rise above. I took a dive, and thought you loved me. You cracked a smile, and sent a hurricane coming. Now not even Jesus bats an eye.
Neon SOS flags fly above me. The coast gueard forgot to come. Fins with sinister instincts now surround me. Watsch my head go under…
- I May Just Live To Regret You
I may just live to regret you
You’ve got some nerve! Slinking from the shadows, dressed for service, despite my objection. So what’s it worth to see the subject of your strategy condemned to stand at attention, and say…
“I may just live to regret you! Let’s get some dirt on my hands, so we both know this delicious enegery that’s polluting you and me, before we’re forced to wash up and go!”
“Oh..”
“Ok”
- Isolation Street
Isolation Street
Hey! Paint on those jet black jeans, and pray he doesn’t wake when you leave. I’m waiting, patient till daybreak. Come later, I’m gone.
Can you say, you didn’t mean to turn, and steay so close to their gleaming world? We made a little deal to play here from midnight till dawn.
Isolation Street, 7B. Honey, ring! I’ll come down to meet you. Lost and complete, we’ll see the world as it should be. Just you and me.
- Keep on Driving
Mile after mile fades away
As I race the daylight
Yawn as the dawn hits my face
Proof I’m OK
Despite the wreck I left behind
You won’t see me cry
Just thank God I’m alive
- Let It Lie
Flying alone in row "Z"
I see you ten in front of me
Sleeping peaceful
A million miles from the present Madness of things
But sister sadness came and
drew my pen to paper (God! write me out of this)
Not too long ago she'd have been
back here kissing me
- Medicine Chest
4 a.m.
on a frozen Sunday morning
a light flickers on
can't sleep again
though i'm shown a thousand ways
of accepting you're gone
and moving on'
- Moan
Teardrops dripping
Burned by the itch you can’t control
You’ve been slipping
Without a gentleman attending to your soul
Without a gentleman attending to your…
Miss that kissing
Satin touch upon your face
Silent wishing
- Monster
5’ 11”
Living proof
We’ll take a licking to nab
All we’re praying for
Sent from heaven
Devil’s food
I’m gonna gobble you down, down, down…
- Poor Jerusalem
Neither you, Simon, nor the fifty thousand,
Nor the Romans, nor the Jews,
Nor Judas, nor the twelve
Nor the priests, nor the scribes,
Nor doomed Jerusalem itself
Understand what power is,
Understand what glory is,
Understand at all,
- Pushing Back
A link in our gold chain broken
By the diamond lies you told (means to an end)
A change in the smell of you
And a tint in your eyes were a means to an
End
Your pushing back
I saw it coming up to take a swing
But Mama, I bandaged the cracks
- Quiet Down
Quiet Down
She had a way with words. He had a while to wait. The snow piled up outside, so she asked about his day. He said, “I’m bound for Salt Lake City”. I’m days behind already, and I’m not big on conversation if that’s OK.”
“Oh, It’s OK! It’s OK! We don’t need to trade a solitary word. Look, Daddy! I myself was never one to stand above the laws of hunger and attraction. Don’t back away! ‘Cause I’ve got something under here, that’s worth a moment of your time. You got money. I got nothing on my mind. Let’s go and quiet down.”
She had a walk to kill you. He had to concentrate. One foot before the other! Hands that couldn’t wait to stray beyond the boundaries of what’s devent. What law would not allow. She gave a nod to lock the door. She dropped and drew his demons out, saying..
- Reaching Down
We followed the smoke
And choked back the ashes of memory
They can hurt much more than the damage
You see
No words were spoken
Back at the scene of the tragedy
Though a thousand questions echo in me
Reaching down
- Rescued
Heaven sent
You’ve no devices left
I’ve been crowned with my way
Your carelessness
Will take the edge off of
All I’ve thrown in your face
So this is how it feels to be right
- Silent Symphony
Silent Symphony
In this light, all of my answers seem like the right ones. Mome of your questions can stir up a fight. The touch of a hans is a welcome distraction. Thank God for the night! Pushing all complications from sight. Hushing our battle drums, till the sunlight tosses a problem from every direction.
Now we’re turning down the show…
Turning off the sound…
And turning on the long, sweet, silent symphony…
Come on, and quiet down. Wrap you arms around me calmly, for now..
- So Immortal
You have anything a little louder?
We are we are so disillusioned
We are we are recycled passion
We are we are covered in questions
Once again my friend should we risk a split and put some kicks in?
So hey what do ya say?
- Stallion
Destined for disaster and despair
One last willing savior
You take the reins with tenderness and care
Patient, passionate and pure
But though you pull…
God how you pull…
You led your stallion to the river
- The Deadliest Of Roses
Deadliest of Roses
Soft, fragrant and composed. Oh, you were born, the deadliest of roses. Wandering eyes could easily cast aside the antidote of pride, and suckle down your poison. Still frozen in a smile, now I find both my lungs are closing. And my heart splutters at my side. You know, you could have lied, and suprised me with this show.
Instead, I’m on my knees…
With no one else to blame, but the chump who believed he stood above the game.
I could turn to leave, but drop before the gate. So let me be, to rest in peace.
- The Emperor
Purple and gold room
Lilies and orchids bloom for no one
No one
Cold as the pale moon
Still as a vacant tomb
Truth is, there’s someone
Someone
- The Nowhere
The Nowhere
Show me you’re worthless! You’re washed up and poor! The heart that once welcomed you open no more!
There’s no one to call when your misery seethes. You can’t stand the taste of the aire that you breathe. There’s a boat called the Nowhere, that’s already to leave for the wind and the sund and the sand and the sea! Come aboard!
Stop moping! There’s miles of horizon to claim! And rum to suck down, ‘till you can’t say your name.
Let’s raise up a toast, and renounce history! You can be anything that you wanted to be! If you’re looking for heroes, just join up with me for the wind and the sun and the sand and the sea! Come aboard!
- The Statesman
You haven’t been a model citizen
You’ve got some checkers on your past
I’ve seen some outstanding warrants for
The loves you left behind
When you thought it wouldn’t last
You wanna hear me pledge allegiance to you
You wanna question my command
There’s some things you oughta know
- Waiting to Serve
How can you lie there
Pretending these eyes are the
Eyes that can get you high
Watching me struggle-- crackle--spit
My way through the words to your lullaby
All the monkeys perform on demand
So I can only pretend to relax
Can't complete the task you ask
- What It Takes
I’d been taking my time
Finding nothing at all
Flying the flag that I’m fine
Trying to climb up a ninety foot wall
You held hands that would shake
Kissed eyes blind to it all
You showed me just what it takes
To keep a man
- Wie Jeder Andere Mann
Wo find ich nur den Ort,
Wo find ich nur die Welt,
Die Welt, die unsren Traum am Leben hält?
Vielleicht ein fernes Land,
Zu einer andern Zeit,
Die uns von all den Zwängen Wiens befreit!
