I'm so glad I found you
Your sweet green eyes make me sway
Will the halo that surrounds you
Steal my black heart away?
Whoa now honey! There's nothing above you,
It gets better each and every day
Whoa now honey! You know that I love you,
Come now honey, let's run away...let's run away.
I'm so glad I met you
Don't love come in strange, strange ways?
I see angels around you
And I just can't walk away
Whoa now honey! There's nothing above you,
It gets better each and every day
Whoa now honey! You know that I love you
Come now honey, let's run away......let's run away.
(Repeat and
fade)

The Moon's in your eyes and my
heart's all a-glow
Should I stay or should I go?
Say that you want me and I won't walk away
If you tell me you love me, I'll stay
I'm your Valentine, so let's stop wasting time
I know you know you're mine and it shows
Baby this love's so deep
That it's cut me right to the bone
This love's like nothing
I've ever known
Say that you want me and I won't walk away
If you tell me you love me, I'll stay
You're my Valentine, so let's stop wasting time
You know I know you're mine and it shows
CHORUS:
I would die for you: my love's like a lion
And I would kill for you: for the love of my lioness
And I will hunt for you: to keep you in diamonds
And pearls and roses too: my love's like a lion... |

| (some things just can't be found, or can they?) When your chest of dreams is empty
when you're tired of hearing lies
when your favorite song is over
do tears run from your eyes?
When sugar starts to taste like salt
when your tongue is paralyzed
when the melody line gets stuck in your mind
does it send shivers up your spine?
When the dream is over
when you've opened up your eyes
when you're cold alone and sober
does it hurt deep down inside?
And when there is no feeling
when your poetry won't rhyme
when the loneliness sends you reeling
through the emptiness of time
The moon couldn't break the spell I'm under
one thousand words couldn't change my face
The sun just shines and makes me wonder
if angels really fall from grace...
CHORUS:
I'll search the Moon and the stars
looking for my Unicorn
I'll leave this World just to see Its face
at the gates of Hell I will find my Unicorn
By the bells of Hell I will see Its face |

Sweltering heat, sweat and broken guitar strings... |

Wasting time living in the city
Fixing up your face, my you're looking pretty
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...
Wake up one morning and you feel strange
You look into the mirror and you see the change
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...
Walk into a brothel and give yourself away for a song
Is it wrong to live in a dream, is it wrong?
And to want to be wanted, is it wrong?
When you're down and you've had your wears and tears
and you're starved and out of money but who really cares?
Who cares, who cares, who cares?
When you're being hunted where can you run?
The lost and found won't take you and your dreams are gone
They're gone, all gone, all gone...
Walk into a brothel and give yourself away for a song
Is it wrong to live in a dream, is it wrong?
And to want to be wanted, is it wrong?
CHORUS:
Look what you've lost, look at the cost
It's enough to put a man to shame
Strapped on the Wheel, how does it feel?
One thousand lashes for the road...

There's
really nothing better than a great vintage guitar. |

I'm a bitch, I'm a scream, I'm a
violent dream
I'm a world without any air
Take a look in the mirror, take a look on the streets
I'm everywhere
I'm ruthless and cruel, I'm a cold sensation
Always dressed to stun
I'm the champagne toast of a whole generation
Because you all love a kid with a gun
And if you're going to live, you'll live with me
Your little hand in mine, side by side
And when you part your lips they'll say to me:
CHORUS:
I'm the King of the Night: Na-na-na-na-na
King of the Night: Na-na-na-na-na
King of the Night: Na-na-na-na-na
Black death in my eyes and fire on my breath
for all the world to see
Hell in my blood and war on my mind
and still you beg for me
Don't look so shocked, I'm no stranger
I've got good friends everywhere
I'm in the White House, I'm in judges chambers
I'm everywhere
And if you're going to live, you'll live with me
Your little hand in mine, side by side
And when you part your lips they'll say to me:
CHORUS:
I'm the King of the Night: Na-na-na-na-na
King of the Night: Na-na-na-na-na
King of the Night: Na-na-na-na-na

(reflections in a
mirror)
I saw you standing there
Eyes filled with envy
It's such a pity that I care
I am an animal, consumed by hunger
But I'm not the one that you see here
I saw you standing there
Heart filled with anger
But there's no danger here
No reason for surprise, I am no stranger
But I'm not the one that you see here
CHORUS:
I'm not invisible as you can see
If you look carefully in your mirror
We're indivisible, this much is clear
You are the other half of me
I am you. |

(we all have to make them at
some point don't we?)
Hey sugar, what's that in your eye?
Is that a teardrop? Aren't you satisfied?
The day you leave is the day I die, while I cry
Hey sugar, things just aren't the same
cold, dark shadows cloud our light my gem
the past will wrap us up again, if we try
Hey sugar, why don't you stay instead?
You're a vision dancing through my head
Let me kiss your lips so ruby red, like roses red
CHORUS:
We used to live a love without a care
I want to love some one who's always there...
Well it's: high time for decisions -and you'd better make up your mind
Hold me close, hold me tight -and it'll be allright
You're my love religion -until the end of time
Through life's long and lonely night...

(another exercise in American colloquialism)
I knew that she was hurtin'
Cryin' up a storm
Tried to make her smile
Tried to keep her warm
There wasn't any mercy
Wasn't no remorse
And then I knew that I was tryin'
To ride a crazy horse
I tried to ride her at a gallup
Tried to ride her at a trot
I didn't know she'd try to throw me
When I gave her all I got
Now I've got a broken heart
You know it never really mends
When you buy a one-way ticket
on a ride that never ends...
CHORUS:
Yeah, this horse is strange
I've watched it buck and kick in a million ways
Horses wild, they're never tamed
And I'll never, ever, ever find a way
To ride a crazy horse
Love's a crazy horse
When you're in love you're crazy
Reachin' for the stars
Love ain't got no saddle
Love ain't got no reigns
But you climb back in the saddle and ride that horse again....

(day dreams on a rainy afternoon)
I thought it was just my imagination
How could it ever be so real?
Just a case of infatuation
How can I tell her how I feel?
She's like an opium poppy
She's a lemon-scented, carbon copy of me
But how can I ever reach her?
She's the star, on my Christmas tree
She's a woman, makes me feel like a boy
In my dreams I'm her favorite toy and
In the end it's all a charade
and she's the rain on my parade
CHORUS:
Take a look on the streets and tell me now
Where can a poor boy hide his love?
How can I tell her she's my idol?
How can I tell her she's my idol?
What a beautiful girl, but she's not real...

I say Baby, look at me now
I've got a smile on my face -you've got a frown
No one ever told you it would be easy
To take my heart and break it right in two
To take my love and rape it like you do
I say Baby, look at you now
Those salty teardrops they're rolling down
Those little teardrops falling like rain
And if I stay here, it'll happen again
CHORUS:
I say Baby, we ain't walking hand in hand
And Baby, we don't see eye to eye
And Baby, thats the reason why
We're gonna say goodbye
Cause Baby, it's the right thing
There are Seven Sins of Love and every one of them mine... |

(a plea for help in a mechanized ethos)
Sweet Jesus I'm guilty of murder
I took a life in the first degree
I took a life in a state of disorder
I took the life of the child in me
When I was young I was wide-eyed and crazy
I was young, I had the heart of a child
I heard you whisper, heard you try to warn me
But I only heard the call of the wild
CHORUS:
Sweet Jesus won't you show me mercy?
I need your tender touch
Won't you put me back together again
Like you did with Lazarus?
Sweet Jesus: where are you now?
I've got to stop me, but I don't know how
Sweet Jesus: you know that it's rough
You see me dying, ain't that enough?
Sweet Jesus give me communion
Give me fire, give me life again
I'm impaled on the horns of Satan
I'm goin' down again...

On a hot summer night I needed a muse
I thought that I saw her but I was obtuse
I watched as she watched me and I rubbed my eyes
She was sweet Belladonna and a maddening surprise
My mind was a car crash, my heart was a noose
and the doves in my soul all but flew loose
She was so Dionysian, so exquisitely fly
yet so Californian ...under Hollywood sky
And when she passed by me, lighter than air
I became an amoeba, I was no longer there
I was lost in her eyes and the scent of her hair
and my head still paints portraits of that pixie so fair
My mind was a car crash, my heart was a noose
and the doves in my soul all flew loose
She was so Dionysian, so exquisitely fly
and yet so Californian, under Hollywood sky....
