And if I need to say I’m sorry for leaving all of you behind I’ll be going to have this party soon, just if everyone’s alright Can’t I sing you a happy song when I’m through with singing at your heart I’ll be waiting inside my palace in diamonds playing up my part Oh... The stars have gone, they’ll be back, in time for my song You know We’re not alone, but it feels that way, once they’ve gone And if I need to say I’m sorry for passing in my broken hand What will we do when all the stars have gone back to hiding in the sand Clouds will fall to the forest floors and the deer will run for miles to die Kings will cry and the queens to battle the diamonds playing start to cry Oh... The stars have gone, they’ll be back, in time for my song You know We’re not alone, but it feels that way, once they’ve gone

Angel Animal 04:20
i was there when you were dying i never saw your face and every night the air is colder the animals come out whenever animals come out i am there to listen till the end i was there to hear you crying i held you in my arms you were weak i held closer the animals came out whenever animals come out i am there to listen till the end they licked your ears dried up your tears then slept upon your shoulder and you were free to beside me the animals will know

My Way Home 03:11
Never dark Never cold I found light in the heart of my soul Always lost Always found I would die with my family around Heart of gold We agree Swim away through the waves in the sea Steady mind Stay with you I need a friend just to watch what I do My lady all my way home Iron lady over where I roam No way You know Lit up with a fiery glow Said one My friend Sit here with you till the end In art End war We push with our ears to the door Sometimes We cry When to laugh would be too hard to try My lady all my way home Iron lady over where I roam

To The Dogs 06:14
when i was growing up just a little naked child my mama was a singer in the gypsy band wild now i been placed, now i been thrown to the race again and every time i fight every time i struggle i know i've seen the worst of this big old puzzle now i been placed, now i've been thrown to the dogs again the dogs again after all my words i was going back for more no one drove the hearse i was walking out the door (x2) when i was in the circus just a couple days ago my mind was never worried the sky was gonna snow now i've been placed now i've been thrown to the race again now listen the fire is a ablaze inside the very city of love and understanding and every ones just watching because they've been placed because they've been thrown to the dogs again the dogs again after all my words i was going back for more no one drove the hearse i was walking out the door (x2)

My baby’s a giant, 8 foot tall and long black hair My baby’s a giant, said 8 foot tall and long black hair When I wanna kiss her, I gotta climb to get up there And when we fighting, she could squeeze the life outta’ me Yeah when we fighting, she could squeeze the life outta’ me I gotta be careful, to stay alive, oh can’t you see I love that woman, though she’s tall and giant size I love that woman, though she’s tall and giant size All you other boys need some more, there’s more for me, in just her eyes

carry diamonds in your pockets nobody can see silver in your hair melt into your cup of tea penetrate the universe but from her point of view cultivate a scalpel and a heart to cut into but she’s got to to have a reason no one’s letting her go yeah she’s got to to have a reason mother, you would know city timing left over where the ocean dies dance to the patterns we try to synchronize leaving the weak where they lie in the end one who is dangerous in need of a friend fight with us while the numbers wait around but she’s got to to have a reason no one’s letting her go some of us cracked if held too tight yeah she’s got to to have a reason mother, you would know dry in the sun while the netting closes in drop you and kick you and leave you to spin standing alone with a fear of disguise pointed like bullets illusions advise but she’s got to to have a reason no one’s letting her go yeah she’s got to to have a reason mother, you would know master in one of a distant arraign sacred and jealous the part of the chain brothers and sisters of alien life chemical air fighters stuck with a knife

Radiance 05:19
So drink it till the end And set down the glass Put your glasses on You know its not your last The sand is cold at night We go to see the moon The ocean in the light I left you too soon Radiance Radiance my dear Radiance Radiance is what I feel, when you’re near And now that you are here Hold on tight Run the water warm Run your dynamite Hours split the day Time we stay apart I don’t know how it ends I’m not sure where to start Radiance Radiance my dear Radiance Radiance is what I feel, when you’re near Radiance Radiance my dear Radiance Radiance is what I feel, when you’re near

Broken Eyes 05:06
so tell me truly what is it you hide behind those broken eyes and they are coming for you from all sides raining out the night and i have chosen to sit inside and weep whenever i'm alone for all my talking what is it i know and why is it you listen behind my broken eyes and if i had never met you broken eyes would never take my hands and if i had never been with you then all my life i'd never know that i'd be happier with you and for my safety the picture does not lie it only cries the women shake it the wine is in the streets it's only me and if i had never met you broken eyes would never take my hands and if i had never been with you then all my life i'd never know that i'd be happier with you i'd be happiest with you Oh... and if i had never met you broken eyes would never take my hands and if i had never been with you then all my life i'd never know that i'd be happier with you and if i had never met you broken eyes would never take my hands and if i had never been with you then all my life i'd never know that i'd be happier with you i'd be happier with you i'd be happier with you

Come on, your colored ties are wet, my puppy is a fish but he's not alone Divide, my sister read it many many times before but it was older then, after all the trouble it went to Mrs. Allen again Hear the crazy my words, no one is gonna blow me out the way Hear the crazy we learn, no one is gonna move me anyway Surprise, my table is under you so soon, but if I don’t hear anyone they're not there Devise, I’ll kill him if thats what you need, don’t play with fire if you’re in the woods Hear the crazy my words, no one is gonna blow me out the way Hear the crazy we learn, no one is gonna move me anyway

Lion's Song 06:16
Then my promises will all to dark Taking everything away Waiting till the actors leave the stage Wait beside the iron gate Like a lion pleasing the eyes in his head Hungry children tonight I met a man, he was broke inside Couldn’t carry what he owned I met a girl and she gave a smile I was hanging upside down Like a lion pleasing the eyes in his head Now he sleeps in the mud Sending all my love Sending all my love to her Sending all my love Sending all my love to her, this time Anyone Turning back to run, run back home Walk into the desert painted black Light is living underneath Keeping in with twisted turning sides If you fall you’re in between Like a lion pleasing the eyes in his head Hungry children tonight Sympathetic with a senseless dream Shutting down a turning heart Leaking over all your pageless books Still the words will find their part Like a lion pleasing the eyes in his head Eating dirt in rain Sending all my love Sending all my love to her Sending all my love Sending all my love to her, this time Anyone Turning back to run, run back home

As if I've had enough I see that it's been tough I know you've had it rough my dear I'll wait for you inside The home inside my heart Before I fall apart Your eyes a work of art my dear So follow me inside Where it's warm The after hours at the end of the coldest I've only met you one time but that's all I need And in the dark when I'm shaking and lonely I always think of you while I bleed So hear me I avow And let me tell you how I feel Work somehow I've got a plan you could call a dream Dream the dream You can Surrender all your shots You have me up in knots Stolen all my thoughts my dear And what am I to do The waters getting warm You're building up a storm I'm trying to keep a form my dear I'm crazy if you want!

the leaves we falling from the avenue the boys and girls who lined the streets know what to do the prince of Arden in his elegance falling over feathers this side of the fence we wait for some stranger hold on she'll tell us where to go we sit and count cards for hold on we'll know what we will know like the sunlight that we beam out and send our beautiful light around the world then wave us over we'll try to help you through let the music take you, show you what to do we wait for some stranger hold on she'll tell us where to go we sit and count cards for hold on we'll know what we will know
