You smile so sweetly when you dream And I wonder what that expression really means. Could it be that you’re trying to Turn the key when I don’t want you to. And I think that you already know. Ain’t it funny how the streets seem so grey? When even the brightest...

Stuck in a rut in a very tight place, Judge and jury of your own damned fate From the cradle to the grave, You're looking for something. Snips and a snail and a puppy dog tail, Nip and tuck, but no avail You look like Hell. You're looking for something...

So it's auf wiedersehen, I guess I'll see you around. If I stay I know I'd only bring you down. There'll be other times, there'll be other days. Mortify the flesh untill we find a way. If I could tell you now, I won't know where to start, tearing down...

You're blocking the reasons You're blocking the pain There's a voice deep inside you that wants to explain And it doesn't seem to mean a lot to you Not everything lost is meant to be found So you buried your heart somewhere deep underground And it doesn'...

You put the pleasure in my hand, sending out those signs that I just don't understand. All wasted, with your belly in the sand, moving so slow. This is not a rehearsal, this is what we've been waiting for. Can you hear the sirens call? They're too loud...

How many times can you tell a lie Before it has been certified? Can I say the same of you? Just when you told me that you didn't like The way I held myself tonight, Were you stabbing at the truth? How does it feel, when you feel like you feel? 'cause yo...

This is enough, what were you thinking of? Don't play the fool with me It doesn't take that much to see the signs These are the signs You make mistakes You know you gotta hit the brakes When you move too fast That's all it takes to avoid the crash Do...

Tell me 'bout your youth. Ah, just tell the truth. Was it nice and smooth Or was it a lie? And when you were a child, were you young and wild Or just undefiled, ready to cry? It should have been me, You should've believed in me. It's all in the wa...

Evil thoughts & blue minds. Leave the cynics all far behind. If life is good, so it's OK. Don't try to fix a thing that isn't broke. Hiding in the basement, Try to block my mind. How can people still believe In a world that isn't kind? Maybe I don'...

You’re scared What for? There’s a demon lurking at your door He said beware I’m gonna get you when I find you there You’ve got to make a choice, that’s your life How many times did it pass you by? Grab it by the throat, grab it while you can Don’t say that yo...

I picked you out, Of a crowed and talked to you. Said I liked your shoes, You said, "Thanks, Can I follow you?" So it's up the stairs, And out of view no prying eyes. I poured some wine. I asked your name; You asked the time. Now it's two o'clock. The club i...
