Election Day (lost verse)

Election Day

Wild kind of look to the day, opening eyes impale neon flickers
She moon, she turning away, the city's her slave, he's cheating his mistress
She's moody and grey, she's mean and she's restless (so restless, so restless indeed)
All over you as they say rumours or rivals yell at the strike force
Hi guys, by the way, are you aware you're being illegal
It's making your saviour behaviour look evil
'scuse my timing but say, how d'you fit in with this flim, flam and judy

Maximum big suprise your smile is something new
I pull my shirt off and pray, we're sacred and bound to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray, we're coming up on re-election day

Stretching my luck down the way
To your invitation stretching my body
Use your intuitive play
'cause maybe we have more play time than money

Maximum big suprise she knows something new
I pull my shirt off and pray, I'm saving myself to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray, we're coming up on re-election day

By roads and backways a lover's chance down wind
Cut open murmurs and sounds becalm hands on skin
Carry further... entangled strands all sing!
Time, saving some time to slip away we could dance...

Oh! Shouldn't be asking wild and scheming
Could be my election day

Maximum big suprise you know something new
I pull my shirt off and pray, we're sacred and bound to suffer this heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray, we're coming up on re-election day

Re-election day

Keep Me In The Dark

When the evening sunlight's fingers stretch across the floor
Cover up your eyes with feathers softly close the door
Take me in your heavy lips, take me where the shadows slide

I'm with your blindfull secrets, tiny, fast and loose
The lacey intrigue of this weekend should not be abused
You can take me where you want but could you take me all the time

Away yeah oh wait a little longer don't go too far
I wouldn't lie, I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Tender is the truce I'm tasting watching you dictates
Heady nights of sleepless wasting a face I can't escape
We could wave the world goodbye to all of the boys cheerio

Away yeah oh wait a little longer don't go too far
I wouldn't lie, I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Help me now I'm slipping deeper, tell me what to say
When without words you call me closer each time you turn away
Something inside you cries but is it something I'll never find

Away yeah oh wait a little longer don't go too far
I wouldn't lie, I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Goodbye Is Forever

Sometimes you have no choice
Sometimes you've got no voice to say
Say if you will the words
Say if your world is so gray
We can decide this
There'll be no tears - no tragedy
Sure I wouldn't break and cry, if...
You walk away, believe me.

Hey, goodbye goodbye is forever ah
Hey, forever goodbye is forever and ever...

Sometimes it makes no sense
This side of cruel coincidence
Caught up in our own barbed wire
To set us free believe this -

(chorus)
Goodbye goodbye is forever
Hey, forever goodbye is forever and ever...

The Flame

"Vengo de la Tierra del Fuego
Ten Cuidado Cuando llamas Mi Nombre"

I could feel the breeze blowing change
Blowing through my doorway
Warm and restless just as you walked by
Inside of smokey halls a circle drawn
And voices call
To raise some magic wind in my world
Strange coincidence each time you look my way
This sinking feeling scares me
Know my weakness call it deja-vu
Never put my trust in fate suprises do arrive so late
Why should I be suprised by you

Straight to the heart straight for this precious shining
How do you dare step into my flame
One from the heart, one for this precious shining
How can you steal my flame

Sometimes cards are drawn and the tables turn
The waiting game is over
Take this dealers hand and steal away the dawn
As they give me any chance to wander back from this innocence
Don't give me any chances at all

Straight to the heart straight for this precious shining
How do you dare step into my flame
One from the heart, one for this precious shining
How can you steal my flame

My flame... My flame...

Missing

And as I wandered down to where you lay
The blood rushed up to meet
The roses in your hair
I thought I saw you smile
But now I don't see you anywhere

Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me
When you're not really here

Stumbling out I made my way
Towards the open door
Climbing fast the sun poured streaming laughter
Down into your empty gaze
Where can I find you
Now I want to join in your game
I hear you calling
I hear you calling, calling, calling, calling...

Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me
How do you really dare

The Promise

Those tears on a gaping void
Whose stretching arms match the hunger of mine
These lips will they never join
But always draw me closer and further entwined

With a promise dealer understand all feelings fade away
To a point of view where many different pathways meet
And we're standing on this precipice with nothing much to save
But the deep blue screams of falling dreams with our next move

Heaven hide your eyes (heaven hide your eyes)
Heaven's eyes will never dry (heaven's eyes will never dry)

The shapes of a thousand steel
Come flashing by my face in the fury of war
In desolation and abandoned fields
The hungry make their stand when they'll stand for no more
Hear the passion in their voices see the heaven in their eyes (heaven in their eyes)
Their hopes and schemes are waiting dreams for less than paradise (less than paradise)
And sometimes we make promises we never mean to keep (never mean to keep)
For blackmail is the only deal a promise dealer sees

Heaven hide your eyes (heaven hide your eyes)
Heaven's eyes will never dry (heaven's eyes will never dry)

El Diablo

Enter newborn players and gather weigh their innocence
Only the brightest shine but not forever
Many lights die many tears rain
When those tears run dry on a mountain madness day
You were just in time for a foolish deal for love I sold
I can't stand another howling day inside this empty skin
While the beacons burn I'll stay
Await return from so far away

One life with the devil do I play
For so long El Diablo is to blame, oh...

Oh El Diablo, El Diablo won't you sell me back my soul
Oh El Diablo, El Diablo won't you sell me back my soul

Wedding is on the wind does she blow my way
She can dance and she can sing she will tear your heart away
While the promise burns I'll stay
And will you return from so far away

One life with the devil do I play
For so long El Diablo is to blame

One life with the devil do I play
For so long El Diablo is to blame

One life but the devil is in my ways, oh...

Lady Ice

Lady Ice slips into her soul
Lady Ice leaves a house so cold
Lady Ice did you know that the world was lonely too?

Drifting snows searching flames and hide
Turning stones as she looks for the heart somebody stole

She knows the violation
Lovers arms without occasion
Who knows where to find a true heart for Lady Ice

Mesmerized in the candle flame
Compromised by the cruel bands of steel around her breast

She knows the desolation
Of lovers arms their isolation
Who knows where to find the true heart for Lady Ice?

Lady's eyes slip away from the part she plays in school

She knows of roles and hide-aways
Suppose she knows but turns away
She knows where to find the true heart for Lady Ice

Lady Ice step outside your soul
Lady Ice do you know that the world is frightened too?

Say The Word

There's a skill its nothing we could learn at school
With the will to survive beneath this rule
Money thrives as corruptions president
Waste the life of the young and innocent
But after all every system can be disobeyed
So when we call please don't think twice or be afraid
Hey mister say something

Say the word if your eyes are open
Say the word before this love is broken
Say the word!

Lights are down but you don't sleep so tight
The words around that we play for keeps tonight

As we all know even the best laid plans go wrong sometime
But if it blows we'll be the ones they victimize
Hey mister say something

Say the word if your eyes are open
It's time we tried
Say the word before this love is broken
To put things right

Election Day (lost verse)

Don't even try to induce, in all my restrain there's no hesitation
All the signs on the loose 'cause sanity's rare this end of the hard day
Shadows are crawling out of the subway
Any way that you choose in every direction just to confuse me
