You say you've never seen the light before
Does anyone believe you
Don't let them hear you say anymore
Nothing's really safe around here
We are an imitation of the crown
We never turn the pages
They cannot let your spirit touch the ground
And nothing's gonna change around here, no
Crack in the ceiling
Hole in the wall
They bend you over
But you won't crawl away
You've got two in the bushes
One in the hand
They'd make you over
But they can't understand you
You're always gonna be the wild one
Pretend that all you really feel is pain
Just hide behind some sorrow
How sad
But you'd do it all again
(I guess that) Nobody changes 'round here
Cat in the cradle
Man in the moon
They'd make you over
But it's too soon to know, no
Smoke in the kitchen
Fire in the hall
The train is coming
And you can hear it calling
You're always gonna be the wild one
Crack in the ceiling
Hole in the wall
They bend you over
But you won't crawl away
You've got two in the bushes
One in the hand
They'd make you over
But they can't understand you
You're always gonna be the Wild One
There's a crack in the rainbow
There's a hole in the sky
You believed in something
Now it's just a lie, yeah
No jokes from the jester
Not a laugh from the clown
And your world is upside down, yeah
You can hide in a circle
It's a way to survive
Be another number
At least you'd be alive
Or you can ride with the gypsy
He can take you to hell
And the answers screaming
In a voice you know so well
CHORUS:
You - you're made of fire
Never higher
You were made to run
You - you're burning higher
You've got the fire
You were born on the sun
So take a walk with a wild one
It's the way that I've found
You can turn it upside down
CHORUS
How do you feel right now
How does it feel to be alone
How do you feel right now
Tell me
CHORUS:
Hey angel - what's your situation
Hey angel - oh, oh
Where would you be right now
Waiting to taste your next tomorrow
Where would you be right now
Tell me
Was the pain too strong to take it anymore
So you turned off all the lights and shut the door
CHORUS:
Hey angel - what's your destination
Hey angel
Hey angel - we got a complication
Hey angel - oh, oh - you're my angel, my angel
How do you feel right now
How does it feel to be alone, oh
How do you feel right now
How do you feel right now
CHORUS:
Oh angel - you're my angel, oh my angel, ......
She never breaks into the conversation
He seems to be the reason why she lives
She tries to be the perfect kind of stranger
But we always seem to love the most
The ones who never give, yeah
CHORUS:
It's between two hearts
A personal situation
Between two hearts
The kind of love with a reputation
We never have to ask her why she's crying
The smile she had's been kicked into a frown
But still it makes her day to be his pleasure
Should we open up her eyes
Can we ever break the spell
No one can tell
CHORUS:
It's between two hearts
A personal combination
Between too hearts
The kind of love with a bad reputation
Put on your party faces and come along
Join in the big parade
Here comes the camera
Do you look as good as your sister
Smile at the animals
They should be the ones in the cages
Turn the pages
Another way to spend a rainy Sunday
Waiting for a call that never comes
The mystery is how she makes her choices
But don't we always choose
The ones who hide the sun
Everyone
CHORUS:
It's between two hearts
Love and desperation
Between two hearts
The kind of love
The kind of love
Between two hearts
A personal situation
Between two hearts
The kind of love with a reputation
Looking on the other side
You're waiting for your life to walk away
Writings on a wall
You just dream forever, forever
Face it - it's another day
And it's gonna be the same tomorrow
The sun is gonna go away
So let it shine on - shine on, yeah, yeah
When you move to the rhythm of shadows
You can hide from the heat of the sun
'Cos If you dance to the beat of the darkness
You burn before the fire's begun
Then comes the night
You come alive
CHORUS:
With night music
It keeps spinning around my head
Night music
It's all the things that you never said
And anywhere you are
There's night music
So open up your arms
Let the night time in
Say the word and it begins
In the night you're the song and the singer
You can choose what the band's gonna play
Write the words under cover of moonlight, oh
Make some magic with the things that you say
Together we can kill the day
CHORUS:
Night music
You're singer and I'm the song
Night music
Where's the place we can belong
Here comes the night
You will survive
Dancing in the moonlight
Makes you feel alive
Open your arms
Let it begin
Just open up the magic
Let the night time in
In the houses of the holy
To the middle of the mystic sea
At the cradle of the world
There's a black cat screaming
And it's not even midnight, no
At the cradle of the world
CHORUS:
They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now there's a cloud over heaven
And a pain out of paradise
In your corner of the world
Turn your back on the children
Does it feel like it's colder
In your corner of the world
CHORUS:
They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves.....
Don't you let’ em get away
Lock up the wolves before you play
Or it's over
Lock up the wolves
Don't you let’ em get away
Don't you let’ em get away
There's no back door to heaven
Just a front door to hell, oh
In this corner of the world
Now if you turn your back on the children
Don't you feel it getting colder
In your corner of the world
CHORUS:
They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves.......
Spent the night on the road
And never saw the miles go
Running away
I've got to get free from myself
How stories were made to be told
And here's the one that I know
I can't hide it anymore
There's evil on Queen Street
I saw the house in the dark
It seemed to say "come touch me
I've got a heart
Open the door to my soul"
Climb to the top of my stairs
And look into my windows
I can be your wishing well
There's no evil on Queen Street
Let me in
I can warm in the heat of your fire
It's no permanent sin to be bad
If you're sorry
Let me go - you're a promise that comes from a liar
I don't know - if I ever can wash all the evil away, hey
Struck a match at the dark
It screamed no, no I love you
Together we're strong
You always believed what I'd say, hey
But now the heat of a flame
Starts me to remember
There's no evil - no more evil
No evil on Queen Street
Just smoke in the air
No evil anywhere
No evil on Queen Street
He's just an ordinary man
Never gonna live forever
So he takes it where he can
Too many nights without a day
For the sake of being clever
He almost lost his way
He always thought that he could fly
Till he was shot down from the sky
You can't walk on water - don't try
You can't walk on water - my my my
They say there's ice inside his veins
He's the man of a thousand faces
Silver spoons and golden chains
He thought his heart was made of steel
But it never started pounding
Till they strapped him to the wheel
He always thought that he could fly
Till he was shot down from the sky
No matter what you try
You can't walk on water - my my
Can't walk on water - don't let me try
Somebody said we'll make him strong
He can give us all the answers
Tell us right and show us wrong
If you believe it, it's no lie
And there is an end to summer
'Cause the winter makes it die
We never looked above his head
And so he missed the things that they said, yeah
He always thought that he could fly
Until they shot him from the sky
CHORUS:
No matter how you try
You can't walk on water
Can't burn the sun
You can't walk on water
Not anyone
You can't, you can't, you can't
You can't, you can't, walk on water
It's just a matter of time
He was the victim and he never saw the crime
He had invisible eyes
He told you truth but you were sure of it, lies
CHORUS:
'Cause he was twisted (you could see it)
He was twisted, all right
He was the fortunate one
He could have pulled the trigger
But he couldn't get the gun
They told him that he was blind
He didn't understand
'Cause he could see them inside
CHORUS:
They were twisted, oh
So Twisted
You could feel it they were
Twisted
Twisted up inside
Look inside any window
Come on and see the show
It's the same generation
They set you free
But they just won't let you go - no
It was a matter of time
They told me I was guilty
So I thought I did the crime
I never learned how to cry
And when I told the truth
They were sure it was a lie
Sure that I would cry
Sure of it
Sure of it 'cause I'm so
Twisted
She's twisted up inside
They're twisted
We're twisted
And when you're twisted
There's just no place to hide away
He was ready to rock and roll
So ready to lose control
But when a hungry heart
Gets a taste of freedom - you better look out
He was ready to push and shove
Ready to fight for love
But I've seen it before
And it can make you crazy
The eyes are what you see
CHORUS:
Why are they watching me
She was ready to black and white
The colors were just too bright
She loved to fly
But she hated falling
She was caught in the in-between
Her dirty would not come clean
She ran for light
But she just got darkness
Just when you think you're free
The eyes are what you see
CHORUS:
Why are they watching me
Why do they do the things they do
Why are they watching me
Watching you
If only the eyes could see
Then you'd know your destiny
The mind is an enemy
And you just need a friend
Are you ready for rock and roll
Ready to take control
If you see the eyes
Will it make you crazy - crazy
Crazy
CHORUS
My eyes can see inside tomorrow
My eyes can get next to you
Time flies on wings that just get stronger
My eyes are true
My eyes could see the body shakin'
My eyes were clear and bright
Good-byes are easy to remember
You can see the hurt still there in my eyes
I've fallen off the edge of the world
I've fallen from the top of the mountain
Just to rise again
I've seen it from heaven and hell
I've seen it from the eyes of a stargazer
I want to be invisible
Just get me out of here
Could the dreamer be turning to stone, oh
CHORUS:
Rock and roll eyes
The color of rainbows - believer of lies
Rock and roll eyes, yeah
Don't want to see the end of it all
Just get me outta here
Just get me outta here
Just get me outta here
CHORUS:
Rock and roll eyes
The keeper of rainbows
Collector of lies
Rock and roll eyes
My eyes
Rock and roll eyes
Tell rock and roll lies
And rock and roll lies
Never end
Rock and roll friends
With rock and roll trends
And rock and roll ends
With my eyes
