Strange Pray Tell
Fire In The Western World
The red sky's moaning and the wind is blowing hard
Better take warning 'cause this time it's gone too far
We been smokin' it more but enjoyin'it less
We better stop using or there'll be nothing left
The eyes of defiance are slowly being crushed to death
There's a fire in the western world
House in shambles, trip wire under the door
18, wasted, trying to hide the crack in the floor
Don't know what you're doing, don't really care
School's just a miss-hit going nowhere
You're running for your life while the scandal's
are burning the stairs
There's a fire in the western world
Can't you hear the rooster crowing in the dead of the night
Don'tcha wanna trash'em, jackboots step out of line
It's a concrete jungle, stones and tears
Quickly becoming what everybody fears
It ain't just color the message keeps cuttin' clear
There's a fire in the western world
Until It Rains
Stranded in the mystery zone
Talks to the buzy tone
His guns are cocked
He's ready for demolition
God it's a bloody mess
And I must confess
He's a hair trigger
Waiting for the final solution
And perfect blue, what are you gonna do
Until it rains, don't watch for storms
Don't count your casualties until there's a war
Clutches the crutches of hate
Ticking like a bomb he waits
Trying to hold on to what he came for
Diming on the 9 to 5
Just to keep alive
Soldiers the shadows on his shoulder
Can't Do That
Your situation's on the top of my head
I don't know what to do
I know it's painful but it's got to be said
These things you're going through
Oh, you can't do that
You always had a way of keeping things in
It's just the way you are
It's only lately I don't know where you've been
I'm afraid you'll go to far
Oh, you can't do that
I miss the way we were before we got lost
It will never come again
I'm only trying to get the wires uncrossed
Before it all ends
13 Going On 21
Shadows fell into our eyes
Strangers we would seldom call
You and I like every teen
Were up against the wall
We couldn't see the end in time
Dying to get out
13 going on 21
They will never stop us now
Going our way
13 Years in a wirebound
Just let the fire burn
They don't think we can make it here
They gotto another thing to learn
Desperately I tried my best
To hold myself in tact
13 going on 21
We're never ever gonna look back
Going our way
Teenage eyes were open wide
Don't you think we know by now
How foul and plagued our future cries
From what you've handed down
We can't explain the distant crash
Alter or defuse
13 going on 21
We're learning by watching you
Going our way
Love Comes Once
I remember you a long time back
How you been doing, is that a fact
Times have changed but it don't show
You still look good but I guess you know
Love comes once then it goes
A lot of time in between
I thought of you, did you think of me
All my dreams like Mexico
Turned into dust, rose like smoke
'Cause love comes once then it goes
How long's it been, don't really know
I was on the move out there on my own
Maybe I was wrong who ever knows
Which bend we take, the lonely road
Love comes once, than it goes
Room 213
He slips into the room with the broken mirrors
Trying to make the voices in his head disappear
He crashes to the floor, his head in his hands
Trying to recover from his mother's demands
Something strange ist going down in Room 213
Inside he fears the strangers in the photo repair
Trying to fix the damage from the chain and the chair
No one hears the screaming from the house of fear
No one sees the man with no eyes appear
And something strange ist going down in Room 213
Have you had the feeling that you've been there before
Wait a minute mister while I get off the floor
Your bones lie chilling, your blood turns cold
There's a red tattoo carved into your skull
And something strange is going down in Room 213
Going South
Bring me my whiskey
I'm checking out
Gonna be a long time, girl
I'm going south
Shot up the mountain
Robbed that train
No way out, little girl
To get away clean
The sheriff's like lightning
Raised from the dead
A bullet with my name, little girl
Came at my head
Two-time loser
Breaking the law
Can't get away, little girl, because
A somebody saw
The sheriff ist coming - found me out
The lines of confusion are burning me down
I know what I done - lotta men do
But all that I wanted was to get home to you
Baby, I'm going south
So bring me my whiskey
In the tallest glass
Gonna be a long time, little girl
But it might be the last
Take me down to Folsom
Sheriff John Law
Flirting with death, little girl
Somebody talked
Ill Of The Dead
The old ones take their money to the grave
That's what they say
Youth is wasted on the young, I don't think so
But wait you'll see
Don't, don't, don't, don't speak ill of the dead
So many times I thought I'd end it all
Take the fall and slip away
Some of my friends have done the main
I never had that much pain
So don't speak ill of the dead
Some of my friends are gone forever
Paled into the light
Things I wish I could have said
As they passed into the night
I miss you
Don't speak ill of the dead
Play With Fire (Nanker/Phelge)
Well you got your diamonds
And you got your pretty clothes
A chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
Don't play with me
You're playin' with fire
Her old man took her diamonds
And tiara's by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Steadly
Not in Knights Bridge anymore
Don't play with me
You're playin' with fire
Well you got your diamonds
You will have some others
But you better watch your step girl
Or start living with your mother
Don't play with me
You're playin' with fire
Don't play with me
You're playin' with fire
Don't play with me
'Cause you're playin' with fire
Okay - this is the Dead Moon version rather
than the official Rolling Stones song,
but you can find the original lyrics somewhere else I guess.
Don't Look Back
You were willing, you were much too wise
You were willing, now it's gone inside
Don't look back
You were simple in your little games
You're so simple now it's all the same
Don't look back
Don't look back on those times you had
Don't look back you might feel so bad
In a minute or an hour or two
In a minute we'll just see 'bout you
Don't look back
You were easy in your little ways
You're so easy now you lost the game
Don't look back
Out In The Blue
Threw my coins out on the wind
Crossed my fingers and tried again
Straight ahead, a collision course
I can't control it anymore
Fate is but a rendezvous
Paths I followed to get to you
Wore my boots down to the heels
How bitter disappointment feels
Out in the blue
Memories like fires glow
Can we forget them, I don't think so
Marched in lines against the odds
I can't forgive the things I saw
Teardrops fall and arrows fly
How many times I've watched you cry
Promises I broke to you
All the things I'm going through
Out in the blue
Oh captain, steer me clear
Make the nightmares disappear
Some things better left alone
Let someone else carry the load
Every year takes its toll
Time keeps cutting at my soul
I know you're out there just like me
Is this the way it's supposed to be
Out in the blue
Destination X
Black man comin' down the avenue
Arm shot full of holes, don't know what to do
Goes to the doctor, says Doctor please
Just give me something to make the pains cease
Said I can't do nothing about it
I'm so sick without it
I don't want to talk about it
I can't learn to live without it
Down to recovery where the psychos are kept
Ain't no prisoners but they watch evey step
Down to the wires hooked up to your head
They push that button and you wish you were dead
Looks through the cobwebs all in his mind
Too many times he's gone under the knife
It's like a cancer that's trying to kill
The more you feed it the worse that you feel
Cuts so cruel that fatal design
Once you're connected you haven't much time
Crystal and cobalt and feeling no pain
Then comes the darkness to feed on your brain
Said I can't do nothing about it
I'm so sick without it
I don't want to talk about it
I can't learn to live without it
I can't cope or strike out at it
I can't get through the night without it
I can't fight the finding out about it
I just wanna die without it
My Escape (CD only)
There's a point of no return
Where we never seem to learn
We can't have all we wanted
oh, you can see it in our eyes
When nerve begins to die there's no use in pretending
And I go to my room, lock the door
To run away from myself
I've got an anger deep inside
Something I can't hide
I don't know what I'm after
It seems I'm always out of turn
And I guess I'll never learn
Who's to blame or what's the matter
So I go to my room, lock the door
And plan my escape
To run away from myself
It's not the warning that I hear
That makes me disappear
Down that narrow stairway
I don't know what I'm looking for
But I know I need it more
Just to know someone is waiting
So I go to my room, close the door
And plan my escape
And run away from myself
Demona (CD only)
I thought I could avoid you but I was wrong
What seemed to be so innocent has long since gone
You took me to dependency, I tried to get clean
I'm not the only one who sais it can't happen to me
You've got your colors over my eyes
I've tried to walk the narrows but it's no use
I find myself surrendering in dreams with you
Into the elevations where everything's clear
Demona comes in shallow light and disappears
She wraps her colors over my eyes,br>
I've stood in open windows and watched the sky
I've waited to be rescued and then I've cried
your eyes are so beguiling you whisper to me
And in that silent chamber you came over me
You wrap your colors over my eyes
I Hate The Blues (CD only)
You know my life would be easy
If people would leave me alone
Stop steppin' on my fingers
That I've been workin' to the bone
Maybe then I could get back with you
God damn I hate the blues
I've tried to put 'em in a bottle
Some people pu 'em in their arm
Either way they're gonna kill you
Slowly eat away your heart
If only I could stop the thought of you
God damn I hate the blues
I never learned to listen
To the promises I'd made
I never thought you'd stay away
Leaving me to take the blame
I never thought you'de follow through
God damn I hate the blues
