BLACK TRAIN
Another day without money
Another fight but I thought it was funny
Funny how we're trapped inside these chains
Another year on the booze
I'm growing old and I've got nothing to lose
All those childhood dreams have fallen apart
Waiting for the train
Waiting for the day we can leave this play
Half remembered faces are so far away
On the other side of bridges that I burned on the way
I can't go home, and I don't even know the way
Waiting for the train
Waiting for the day we can leave this place
I can see the train
A big black train will take me to my grave

COUNTING HOUSE
Deep inside the Counting House beware the beast that's sleeping No one knows the reasons why
As green as green as green
Deep inside the Counting House beware the sea that's weeping No one knows the reasons why
As green as green as green
As far as I can see I don't need to worry now
So, save your energy you don't need to anyhow
You shut your eyes to face the sun
Deeper in your house you run
All the while you're counting
Counting down to one
Deep inside the Counting House
Beware the shadow creeping
No one knows the reasons why
As green as green as green
Deep inside the Counting House
Beware those books your keeping
No one knows the reasons why
As green as green as green
As far as I can see I don't need to worry now So, save your energy you don't need to anyhow You shut your eyes to face the sun Deeper in your house you run
All the while you're Counting
All the while you're Counting
All the while you're Counting Counting down to one

DRAGON'S EYE
Take me down the lonesome path where the dark wind blows
A deathly silence grasping takes control
I'll lead you past the dreaded masques of those who came and lost the game Where shadows beckon princes to the abyss
So long ago we journeyed to this land of old
Forever we wander black skies
Oh, tales were told a warning those who search for gold
The dragon lives in my eye
The birds that pass our dreaded masts rave a cursed melody
An omen to the whirlwind who outnumbers
We raged across the bloody sea of death-defying mystery Chanting ancient words against the thunder
So long ago we journeyed to this land of old
Forever we wander black skies
Oh, tales were told a warning those who search for gold
The dragon lives in my eye
So long ago we journeyed to this land of old
The dragon lives in my eye

VISIONS
Take a ride inside her
Follow the golden locks that glides
Let the river answer
Give out your light that you may enter the glowing river I see visions endless rising through us
Burning colour
Endless light will flourish
Hear the siren whisper
Into her flowing arms surrender
Down the glowing river
Singing the drowning song forever
I see visions endless rising through us
Burning colour Endless light will flourish And in the end we go There is a place we know Inside that dome in air See them there Bursting through the sun I see visions
I see visions
I see visions...

VEILA
Veila always talking never says a word
Veila sightly siren with her secret cares
To your blues she'll dance with roses in her hair
She'll bring you ravens through her crimson flowing glare
Veila
Veila
Hear she comes now femme fatale extraordinaire
She's got plans for you, seduction is her flare
Her dark beauty dropped you in the tiger's lair
With her sight on you you haven't got a prayer
Veila
Veila
She walked through the party like a starlet upon the silver screen
Little boy to a spider you're the fly
There is no redemption when she haunts way down deep into your dreams
How she will tease
And will deceive
Her belladonna kiss made kings become her fools
When she is sated she will rip your heart in two
Veila

SUNNY 2ND STREET
I met her on the corner of the sunny 2nd street
She really was the sweetest girl you'd ever want to meet On sunny, sunny 2nd street
When she took me home with her she played on the guitar
And sang to me a lullaby
I think she'll be a star
Of sunny, sunny 2nd street
On sunny 2nd street
You know that she belongs with me
On sunny, sunny 2nd street
The way she moves her feet
Oh, how she skips across the beat
On sunny, sunny 2nd street
When I'm feeling tired, and the world has got me beat She offers me her loving cup and makes me want to keep On sunny, sunny 2nd street
On sunny 2nd street
You know that she belongs with me On sunny, sunny 2nd street The way she moves her feet Oh, how she skips across the beat On sunny, sunny 2nd street

CITY OF LIGHT
Getting out of the farm
I'm going down to the city of light
Getting out of this barn
I'm going down to the city of light
People around here don't feel bright
Fancy a beer and a fight
Don't waste your time thinking about the future
Leave it behind
Leave it behind
Ain't no place for a book of beliefs in a land full of plastic people No place for the seasons to breathe
No time for your love to conceded
So, I'll get out this farm
I'll go down to the city of light
Getting out of the farm
I'm going down to the city of light
They say a road of debauchery led to a key to a kingdom And I chose that path a long, long time ago
And yet the only excess I find Lies in your pale blue wanton eyes Your daringly thoughtful stare
Your calm yet majestic glare Won't you come with me today We'll get out of this farm We'll go down to the city of light Getting out of the farm
We're going down to the city of light

OUTBACK
You came
Take away the pain
Take me to the outback of the sea
Time is fast
A second and it passed
Take me to the outback of the sea
Your love is glorious
Ride around the city but it's never gonna last And I'm free
All the places I could ever be
Take me to the outback of the sea
Night star
creep into my heart
Breathe away the black hole of the sun Round and round the circle we are bound Deep within the black hole of the sun
I feel your mystery
Running through my spirit like a perfect remedy And I'm free
Somewhere they can't ever follow Please..
Take me to the outback of the sea
Your love is glorious
Ride around the city but it's never gonna last And I'm free
All the places I could ever be Somewhere they can't ever follow Please..
Take me to the outback of the sea..

MORNING SUN
Following the morning sun Following the morning sun
Tired and your legs won't run Float across the waters won
I'll see you through the dark
I know it's hard
You say it's not
You've got a lot to learn
A lot to learn
You want to know a place to go Hide your love and let your anger grow You'll never go
Up into the morning sun Following the morning sun Angry when the burglars come Farmer go and get your gun
I'll see you through the dark
I know it's hard
You say it's not
You've got a lot to learn
A lot to learn
You wanna know a place to go Hide your love and let your anger show You'll never know
Of the morning sun Following the morning sun Following the morning sun Following the morning sun Following the morning sun

CARAMEL
Caramel is easy
Everything is dreamy Lullabies, my sweet surprise
Let's hide
Take me to the river
Nothing flowing bitter
Kiss my eyes
They're beaming starry skies
A child is in my mirror
The light will gently glimmer
Blue and gold
My fortune to behold
I feel a sorrow
When you're running through my brain
There's no tomorrow
When I feel her inside the rain Take me to the river
Nothing flowing bitter
Kiss my eyes
They're beaming starry skies Through the silent city Caramel is pretty
There she hides
My hazy honey bride
I feel a sorrow
When you're running through my brain There's no tomorrow
When I feel her inside the rain

MY DEAR
Caught in the breeze
An emotional freeze
As the years slip by like water
I have been tried for the feelings I denied And the world is watching me
But I can't see the wood for the trees When you're always standing before me
And I know you think it's a game
But I'd sooner you didn't ignore me
If you can restore me
Take me away to your world free of pain Cleanse my body of fear
Take all the grey out this miserable day
And show me your colours my dear
Now I can breathe as I wipe off your tears And the binding stakes lay broken
Take to your throne all your dreams are a glowing And cast your fears away
No longer alone in the dark
When I see you standing before me
Your kiss it'll light up a flame
Oh kindred spirit of glory
Oh how you adore me
Take me away to your world free of pain Cleanse my body of fear
Take all the grey out this miserable day
And show me your colours my dear
And I'll buy the next round of beer

NIGHTTIME
Nighttime
Nighttime
We call
Moonshine
Eyes blind
We fall
The King's have ruined the bridge
We'll burn for what we did
How can we begin
When there's the enemy within
As sure as night come down
There'll be a murder in the town Nighttime
Nighttime
We call
Moonshine
Eyes blind
We fall
The hand has lost the flock
We wait with humble stock
How can we begin when there's the avarice within As sure as night comes down
There'll be a murder in the town
When all the lights are gone
Into a black hole everyone
The Kings have ruined the bridge
We'll burn for what they did
How can we begin when there's the enemy within As sure as night comes down
There'll be a murder in the town
When all the lights are gone
Into a black hole everyone
With all the things I said
Not sure if I'd be better dead
Nighttime
Nighttime
Nighttime..

CAROUSEL
I saw you dance the new fandango
You looked so good in your blue dress On a slow boat back from Cairo You were so much better than the rest And we were sitting there Riding on the carousel of light Echoed in the night
I still remember the old fandango Your grace it set the night on fire Golden memories stay close to me We kissed beneath the velvet night But now I'm sitting here Gazing on the carousel of light Echoes in the night
