On The Morning Train

[Verse 1]
Leaving here come morning
Shaking this dead town
Got to stop my head from breaking
And falling farther down
Something seems to tell me
Get out while you can
Before my thoughts can jail me
‘Cos I can’t understand

[Chorus]
Leaving on the morning train
On the morning train
Leaving on the morning train

[Verse 2]
I sit here in the darkness
And contemplate my fate
The cats outside are calling
How much can they take?
My heart can’t stop its pounding
My hands are numb and still
My thoughts are slowly climbing
Up that lonely hill

[Chorus]
Leaving on the morning train
On the morning train
Leaving on the morning train

[Guitar Solo]
(Instrumental)

[Chorus]
Leaving on the morning train
On the morning train
Leaving on the morning train

[Verse 3]
I feel it slowly slipping
Into these tired old shoes
Like a comedy of terror
And little white boy’s blues
Calling out to mother
Come and take me home
Nevermore to suffer
Nevermore to roam

[Chorus]
Leaving on the morning train
On the morning train
Leaving on the morning train
On the morning train
Leaving on the morning train
On the morning train
Leaving on the morning train
On the morning train

Throw It All Away

In spite of all the things I never hated
In spite of all the days that weren’t wasted
In spite of all the dreams I’ve finally seen
In spite of all the good inside of me

I’d go and throw it all away
For a quick ride in the hay
For a quick sha-dooby-doo-ay
For a quick and easy way
For a quick ride to the rainbow

In spite of all impassioned cold Septembers
In spite of all the love I can’t remember
In spite of all the thoughts I like to savor
In spite of all the things I can’t dismember

I’d go and throw it all away
For a quick ride in the hay
For a quick sha-dooby-doo-ay
For a quick and easy way
For a quick ride to the rainbow
I’d throw it all away
I’d throw it all away
I’d throw it all away
I’d throw it all away

I realize I am a fool
I realize it as a rule
I realize I realize what can I say
I sympathize
I sympathize with everything
I sympathize but can’t you see what I am made of?
Aren’t you like me?

In spite of all the things I never hated
In spite of all the days I wasn’t wasted
In spite of all the dreams I finally see
In spite of all the good inside of me

I’d go and throw it all away
For a quick ride in the hay
Sha-dooby-doo-ay
For a quick and easy way
For a quick ride to the rainbow
I’d throw it all away
I’d throw it all away
I’d throw it all away
I’d throw it all away

Body Talk

Original lyrics:

Maybe I’m a stranger
A stranger to love
Maybe love’s a stranger to me
Maybe I’m a willow
Facing the breeze
Blowing me right down to my knees

Maybe I’m just out of place?
Maybe it’s a big mistake?

Ooh, your body talk
Every time you say it
Your body talk is foreign to me
Ooh, your body talk
Every time you say it
Your body talk is foreign to me

Maybe I’m just out of place?
Maybe it’s a big mistake?

Ooh, your body talk
Every time you say it
Your body talk is foreign to me

[Guitar solo]

Maybe I’m just out of place?
Maybe it’s a big mistake?

Ooh, your body talk
Every time you say it
Your body talk is foreign to me
Ooh, your body talk
Every time you say it
Your body talk is foreign to me

Ooh, your body talk
Every time you say it
Your body talk is foreign to me
Ooh, your body talk
Every time you say it
Your body talk is foreign to me
It’s foreign to me…

‘Til Your Savior Comes

Yeah, life’s a bitch and then you’ll die
‘til then you’ll compromise
Every day of your life
Your life
Then which witch will sail the wretched seas
Down to misery
While angels watch you bleed
On bended knees

Do you feel the pain
Do you see the flames
Burning like the sun on its final day

Watch the news on channel four
See a doll explore
Every night the burden is the same
They relate every agony
Dictate every catastrophe
Then sell you soap and toothpaste and diet things

Do you feel the pain
Do you see the flames
Burning like the sun on its final day

So tell me what for you’re waiting ‘til your savior comes
What for, tell me what for
Tell me what war you’re hoping he will save you from
What war, tell me what war
Show me the pit, let me feel the fire, point me to the loaded gun
And tell me what for you’re waiting ‘til your savior comes

You work at nine, you’re home at five
On weekends you go insane
Then back you go do it all again
Your life is fine, you got good friends
You got a girl on the side
And nothing much to hide
But what’s inside

Do you feel the pain
Do you see the flames
Burning like the sun on its final day

So tell me what for you’re waiting ‘til your savior comes
What for, tell me what for
Tell me what war you’re hoping he will save you from
What war, tell me what war
Show me the pit, let me feel the fire, point me to the loaded gun
And tell me what for you’re waiting ‘til your savior comes

A girl plays with plastic toys
And dreams of plastic things
‘cos love, peace, and understanding
Can all be bought it seems
Yeah, life’s a bitch and then you’ll die
‘til then you’ll compromise
Every day of your life
But what is life

Do you feel the pain
Do you see the flames
Burning like the sun on its final day

So tell me what for you’re waiting ‘til your savior comes
What for, tell me what for
Tell me what war you’re hoping he will save you from
What war, tell me what war
Show me the pit, let me feel the fire, point me to the loaded gun
And tell me what for you’re waiting ‘til your savior comes

Like There’s No Tomorrow

Walking down these streets, I’ve seen a million men
With nothing but two dirty feet and an outstretched hand
They ask me for some change, I want to turn away
And run, run so far from here
Far from here

Yeah, I’ve got some thoughts weighing on my mind
Thinking all the while, I’ll take my chance with time
Walk right across this floor, knock down that heavy door
And run, run so far from here
Far from here

And sail away, like there’s no tomorrow
Spread these wings on the softest prayer
And I would fly, oh, I could fly
If all I needed was hope to get me there
I’m still young but I’m getting older all the time
Chasing dreams that shatter when I cross that line
Between what’s black and white, between what’s yours and mine
Somehow, I’ve got to find the strength to run
I’ve got to run

And sail away, like there’s no tomorrow
Spread these wings on the softest prayer
And I would fly, oh, I could fly
If all I needed was hope to get me there

But sometimes, all I really need
Is your loving arms to keep me safe from harm
To keep me warm throughout this endless storm
Oh, stay with me, or I might go insane
From the pounding rain

I’d sail away, like there’s no tomorrow
Spread these wings on the softest prayer
And I would fly, oh, I could fly
If all I needed was hope to get me there
I’d sail away, like there’s no tomorrow
Spread these wings on the softest prayer
And I would fly, oh, I could fly
If all I needed was hope to get me there

Blinded By The Shadows

Will I ever find it?
Will it set me free?
Is it really what I see?
Do I really feel it?
Is it part of me?
Is it really what I see?

Ooo-ooh
I’m blinded by the shadows
Don’t know what I see

Ooo-ooh
Blinded by the shadows
Don’t know what I see

Is there a heaven?
Am I a fool
For longing for the truth?

Ooo-ooh
Blinded by the shadows
Don’t know what I see
Ooo-ooh
Blinded by the shadows
Don’t know what I see

Is hope a blessing?
Is hope a curse?
And is there something for my thirst?

Ooo-ooh
Blinded by the shadows
Don’t know what I see
Ooo-ooh
Blinded by the shadows
Don’t know what I see

Say You Won’t

Because the nights are cold
Because this pain is getting old
Because I can’t be whole
Without your softness in my soul
Say you won’t
Oh, say you won’t

Because I feel you near
Because my world is getting clearer
Because I’ve overcome my fears
Of finding nothing here behind my tears
Say you won’t
Oh, say you won’t

Because I need you so
Because I need you

Say you won’t
Oh, say you won’t

Because I need you so
Because I need you

Can’t Hide The Tears

I’ve been trying oh so long, yeah
To find a girl like you
I’ve been crying oh so long, yeah
You make my dreams come true
You make my dreams come true

Tired of this foolish game, girl
I’m gonna tell to you
All my secrets, all my secrets
I’ll tell them all to you

Can’t hide the tears
Falling down like years from my face
Can’t hide the tears
Crying like a child
Can’t hide the tears
Can’t hide the tears

I was cold, so cold and lonely
Until I found you
Yeah, I know that I was lying
Hiding from the truth
Hiding from the truth

Then you came and gave me sunshine
Now my eyes can see
I’ve been waiting such a long time
To unleash these things in me

Can’t hide the tears
Falling down like years from my face
Can’t hide the tears
I’m crying like a child
Can’t hide the tears
Can’t hide the tears

Skeleton Dance

Skeletal fingers on skeletal hands
Skeletal images I don’t understand
Dancing with a skeleton that chatters in my ear
Saying don’t you fear

Skeletal features on a skeletal face
Skeletal nightmares I somehow misplaced
Dancing with a skeleton that chatters in my ear
Saying don’t you fear

But I’ve been going nowhere
But I’ve been going nowhere

Skeletal whispers in these skeletal tongues
Skeletal terror can you see how I run?
Dancing with a skeleton that chatters in my ear
Saying don’t you fear

But I’ve been going nowhere
But I’ve been going nowhere

Skeletal rhythms got those skeletal shakes
Skeletal alleyways this maniac takes
Dancing with a skeleton that chatters in my ear
Saying don’t you fear

But I’ve been going nowhere
But I’ve been going nowhere

Skeletal shivers in this skeletal cold
Skeletal fever that just won’t let me go
Dancing with a skeleton that chatters in my ear
Saying don’t you fear

But I’ve been going nowhere
But I’ve been going nowhere
But I’ve been going nowhere
But I’ve been going nowhere
Dancing with a skeleton that chatters in my ear
Saying don’t you fear

Honey, Don’t You See?

Wipe away the fog you’ve got the window seat
See that new horizon dead ahead
Shining like a beacon meant for you and me, baby
Better days are waiting ’round the bend

I know the sun is rising in a bright blue sky
Open up your eyes you’ll see it too
Just beyond this darkness we will surely find, baby
Better days ahead for me and you

Honey don’t you see
(Honey don’t you see)
Honey don’t you see
(Honey don’t you see)
Since you came to me the sun’s been shining down on you and me
Honey don’t you see
(Honey don’t you see)
Honey don’t you see
(Honey don’t you see)
Since you came to me the sun’s been shining down on you and me

Forget about the past let’s leave it all behind
Time is on our side you know it’s true
Rain will never last it is a fading thing baby
Let me see you smile like you do

Honey don’t you see
(Honey don’t you see)
Honey don’t you see
(Honey don’t you see)
Since you came to me the sun’s been shining down on you and me
Honey don’t you see
(Honey don’t you see)
Honey don’t you see
(Honey don’t you see)
Since you came to me the sun’s been shining down on you and me

Honey
