Lovers Be Silent

Lovers
Lovers
Be silent now
The night is over
and I want to sleep
Lovers
Lovers
Please be silent now
The day is beginning to show
I want to be a part of it
I want to see you
In the bright light
and the warmth of the day
Hey lovers
May your dreams come true now
I'll be watching
Watching over you
Lovers
Lovers
Be silent now
I hear your whispers
Your whispers are so loud
Lovers
Lovers
Be silent now
The night is over - over
and I need to rest
More than you do
Seas Will Rise

They say the seas will rise
and this city will sink
I don't want to think about that
I've got too much to think

I could fall down dead tomorrow
Or I could drop down dead next week
It may be time for a heart attack tonight
Or I could drown in Tampa Bay

Yeah the seas will rise
and this city will sink
I don't want to think about that
I've had too much to drink

I could fall down dead tomorrow
Or I could drop down dead next week
It may be time for a heart attack tonight
Or I could drown in Tampa Bay

Seas will rise
Cities will sink
I will have
Too much to drink
I could fall down dead tomorrow
I could drop down dead next week
It may be time for a heart attack tonight
Or I could drown in Tampa Bay
Or I could drown in Tampa Bay
Or I could drown in Tampa Bay

Alone Tonight

Sex is the only reason why
people walk by holding hands
Look at them walking to the streets of life
I might as well stay alone tonight
I'll stay alone tonight
I will stay alone tonight
But don't you stay alone tonight

You'll be drinking in the dead of night
You'll be drifting in the dead of night
You'll be smoking every cigarette you have
You'll be smoking every cigarette you have
You'll be missing all the love that you lost
You'll be missing all the love that you lost
You'll be wishing you were dead tonight
You'll be wishing you were dead tonight
So don't you stay alone tonight

You'll hate the way they are
but if you dance with them you're in love again
i might as well
you might as well
stay alone tonight
we will stay alone tonight

You'll be drinking in the dead of night
You'll be drifting in the dead of night
You'll be smoking every cigarette you have
You'll be smoking every cigarette you have
You'll be missing all the love that you lost
You'll be missing all the love that you lost
You'll be wishing you were dead tonight
You'll be wishing you were dead tonight
So don't you stay alone tonight
It's So Bright (Tonight)

This light will always shine
but this should serve as a reminder
The sun will always rise
but it can always blind you

This light will always shine
but I'm blinded by tonight
It feels right - and it's right
I feel fine - tonight

And it's so bright - tonight
It's so bright - tonight
It's so bright - tonight
It's so bright - tonight

It's so bright - tonight
It's so bright - tonight
It's so bright - tonight
It's so bright - tonight


Love is Not the Answer

Nothing left to say
so close the door
don't follow me
As you once said
Love is not the answer

And the light that guides
you in the night
never seems to shine
Waiting for the day
you will feel alright again

And they talk
When they talk they think they know
And they talk (so much)
They talk so much they get it all wrong

Love is not the answer

Just a lonely life,
spent walking around
never want to be found
As you once said
love is not the answer

And the light that guides
you in the night
never seems to shine
Waiting for the day
you will feel alive again

And they talk
When they talk they think they know
And they talk (so much)
They talk so much they get it all wrong

Words are not the answer
Love is not the answer

Distant

I don't want to sound so distant
so distant
And I don't want to sound indifferent
or different

I want to go where you're going
and I want to see what you're showing
I just want to know what you're knowing
and I want you to go where I'm going

I don't want to sound so distant
so distant
But I don't want to sound repentant
I meant it

I want to go where you're going
and I want to see what you're showing
I just want to know what you're knowing
and I want you to go where I'm going
This Dirty City

In the city of the forgotten ones
In the city of a love thats been gone
for a while

In this dirty city
In this guilty city
Are we ever gonna meet again
Will you be scared and call my name
again
again

City of the forgotten ones
City of a love thats been lost
for a while

In this violent city
In this voyeurs city
Are we ever gonna meet again
Will you ever feel the same again

So watch me fall and watch me try
to say these words as i want to die
"THE PAIN WILL BE GONE
WHEN THE CITY STOPS CRYING"

This dirty city
This guilty city...

In Time

In time
the planets will align
and provide a sign
in a single file line
You and I
we will collide
we will arrive
given time

This life is an exploration full of revelations
and I will continue to explore

We
will be reminded
of everything that defined it
given time
The stars in the sky
will align
We'll be fine
given time

This life is an exploration full of revelations
that I will continue to explore
Through all that that entails
I will continue to sail
til I can no longer see the shore

In time
