So still so dark all over Europe
And I ride down the highway 101

At the end of the great white pier

WALK AWAY
And in the summer when the clouds show through
I might go the same way too if
You and I could talk together
Well what am I supposed to do with
You and I would walk together
Then with always close around and
Now you gaze toward the doorway
When the weather comes falling down
Chorus:
And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay
Would you choose to walk
Would you choose to stay
Would you
Walk walk walk walk walk away
(away) (away) away away (away) away
away away walk away
Walk away
Would you choose to walk away
Chorus:
And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay
Would you choose to walk
Would you choose to stay
Would you
Walk walk walk walk walk away
Though when the day is nearly
Through I might see the same way too if
You would name the things
That bring you down on me so I could say it's
Not quite true if you don't really
Know or understand the circumstance
Behind them I might clear your
Mind and you won't have to go so
Chorus:
And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay
Would you choose to walk
Would you choose to stay
Would you
Walk walk walk walk walk away
(away) (away) away away (away) away
away away walk away
Walk away
Would you choose to walk away
NO TIME TO CRY
It's just a feeling
I get sometimes
A feeling
Sometimes
And I get frightened
Just like you
I get frightened too
But it's
Chorus:
(No no no) No time for heartache
(No no no) No time to run and hide
(No no no) No time for breaking down
(No no no) No time to cry
Sometimes in the world as is you've
Got to shake the hand that feeds you
It's just like Adam says
It's not so hard to understand
It's just like always coming down on
Just like Jesus never came and
What did you expect to find
It's just like always here again it's...
Chorus:
(No no no) No time for heartache
(No no no) No time to run and hide
(No no no) No time for breaking down
(No no no) No time to cry
Everything will be alright
Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still can't sleep
And the voices pass with time
And I keep
Everything will be alright
Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still can't sleep
And the voices pass with time
And I keep
No time for tears
No time to run and hide
No time to be afraid of fear
I keep no time to cry
Chorus:
(No no no) No time for heartache
(No no no) No time to run and hide
(No no no) No time for breaking down
(No no no) No time to cry
A Rock and a Hard Place
And she came to look for me
Sold me name and innocence
Took my key
And told me to follow her
Down from Igor with her bangles and her reference
One from the church from the valley of the well
She wanted a haven and a place to hide
So I gave her an alibi took her inside but
Chorus:
A rock and a hard place await for me
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Everything I ever did right or wrong
Hid out of sight where I belong
Belong
And I didn't have the heart to tell her why
And there wasn't a part of me that
didn't want to say goodbye but
Cause and effect go hand in hand with
The devil may care but I don't mind and I
thought she'd never quite understand so I
left her there that night but will she find me?
I don't think so, no
When you go, you go alone
And I'm gone
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
And I didn't have the heart to tell her why
And there wasn't a part of me that
didn't want to say goodbye but
A rock and a hard place await for me
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Everything I ever did right or wrong
Hid out of sight where I belong
A rock and a hard place await for me
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Everything I ever did right or wrong
Hid out of sight where I belong
A rock and a hard place await for me
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Marian
In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt,
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
In the wake of the ship of fools I'm falling further down,
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home.....
I hear you calling, Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling, Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave....
Marian....
Marian, there's a weight above me
And the pressure is all too strong
To breathe deep, breathe long and hard, to
Take the water down and go to sleep
To sink still further
Beneath the fatal wave
Marian, I think I'm drowning
This sea is killing me
I hear you calling, Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling, Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave....
Was ich kann und was ich k?e
Weissich gar nicht mehr
Gib mir wieder etwas sch?
Zieh mich aus dem Meer
Ich hohr dich rufen, Marian
Kannst du mich schreien hohren, ich bin hier allein
Ich hohr dich rufen, Marian
Ohne deine hilfe, verliere ich mich in diesem
Ort; I hear you calling, Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling, Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave....
Marian
Marian....
{Translation of German Verse}
{What I can and what I could,
I don't know it anymore
Give me something beautiful again,
Pull me from the sea,
I can hear you calling Marian,
Can you hear me calling, I am here alone
I hear you calling, Marian
Without your help, I will lose myself in this place...}

Poison Door
Behind the door
The poison door
We search the still hours
Looking
For a place to hide (For a place to hide)
Behind the door
Where dreams collide (Where dreams collide)
Behind the door
The poison door
We sit in silence waiting
For a deadly friend
Behind the door
Where dreams descend (Where dreams descend)
And the shadows smile
Lips dark and wild
The shadows smile
And kiss the sky
Behind the door
The poison door
The puppets dance on a burning floor
Like dying flames
Behind the door
Shoot me down again
Behind the door
The poison door
We search the still hours
Looking
For a place to hide (For a place to hide)
Behind the door
Where dreams collide (Where dreams collide)

We sit in silence waiting
For a deadly friend
Behind the door
Where dreams descend (Where dreams descend)
And the shadows smile
And kiss your memory goodbye
And the shadows smile
But their lips are ssss...
And the shadows smile
Lips dark and wild
And the shadows smile
Kiss your memory goodbye
And the shadows smile
Lips dark and wild
And kiss the sky
On the Wire
Now the ground come up too fast
Too fast to meet you
In clouds of dust erupting
Thick around your feet, be careful
In the rubble in shrouds in waiting
Wall to wall to where you tread
Now the quick and the dead and the same old
Fates come calling cards away
How do you think it came to pass you
By the hard way by desire
How do you think it came to pass you by?

I don't sleep so I don't dream so I don't
Wake up frightened
Everything is what it seems if
You look deep enough tonight and
See...
On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not fall
On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not fall
On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not fall
On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not fall
On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not fall
On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not fall

Bullet in the head

Got power to burn
Got means
Flowers to burn
Between those pretty dreams
Hold out for cover
Hold out your hand to me, for
Blood, blood money
Blood money, money, money, money

Children, kiss the ring
Children, kiss the blade
Blood money

Which hand holds
Your hand? Holds
Blood, blood money

Bury Me Deep
Call it superstition
Followed and fell
Under the falling
Under the spell
Singing
Bury me
Bury me
Spoken in tongues
Of many colours, in the
Colours of heaven, in the colours of hell, in the
Cannot, would not tell, in the
Broken temple bells, in the ringing
Oh, Marian, I can
Hear those voices singing
Bury me
Inside
Lie beside and
Bury me
Deep
In the spoken in tongues
Cover me over
Unsung
Unsaid, not
Borrowed, broken and torn,
On the bed tomorrow, mourning
Before you sleep
Bury me deep
Bury me
Inside
Lie beside and
Bury me, bury me, bury me, bury me
Deep
Call it superstition
Followed and fell
Under the falling
Under the spell
Bury me
Inside
Lie beside and
Bury me
Deep
Train
Train
Train
Train
Train
Take a last decision and the cars to move it
Past information
Tunnel vision and the scars to prove it
Everybody got a reservation
Far beyond the black horizon
Beyond the things you know
Everybody got a destination
Everybody got a place to go
Take a walk downtown where the victims go
Take your shadow to the end, to the very last window
Everybody got friends got shot upside and over
Down the line
Everybody got assignations
I got mine
Take a one-
Cut a hole between the ground and sky
Make a railway track for the main attraction
Cross my heart and take a ride
Far beyond the black horizon
Beyond the things you know
Everybody got a destination
Everybody got a place to go
Some Kind Of Stranger (Early)
See above at he original text for first impression. If different in time it will be here to read
First and Last and Always
See a body and the dream of the dead days
Following lost and blind
Living, far from here
Tomorrow is hard to find
And it seems like twenty-
Promises and give me more
Scenes of a hand me down in
Dresses heard before
First and last and always: 'til the end of time
First and last and always: Mine
Maybe it's not so easy
Maybe it's a way too long
Say, say you'll be by me
When the evidence comes along
(My calling)
(My time)
See a body and the dream of the dead days
A following lost and blind
Cross my heart with silver
Here's the key behind
Seems like twenty-
Ever after, ever more more more
Seems I wore this face for you
Far too long before
First and last and always: My calling, my time
First and last and always: Mine
First and last and always: 'til the end of the end of time
First and last and always: Mine
First and last and always: 'til the end of time
First and last and always: Mine

Carrion child
Prey for me, play your
Wild card, see the house come down around your
Head, home to me, so much dreaming
Some say I'm growing cold and
Taking over
Nothing, cut, two ways....
Possession: Taking over....
Stand these pictures on your shelf and
Wear your heart upon my sleeve
Wear a dress that you can see through
See yourself inside
I'll be your imagination
Tear apart what you believe
Make a mess of your conviction
Take away my pride, and leave you
Nothing, but the debris
Cut, two ways

Wild card, see the house come down around your....
Possession: Taking over

Somehow the facts take over, and the fiction coming through
Somehow I do my crying breaking down for you
This way the doubt takes over, contradiction coming through
This way I do my lying, making up and making out for you

Nine While Nine
And it's passing strange
And I'm waiting for the train
Caught up on this line again
And it's passing slowly
Killing time, but it's
Better than living in what will come and I've
Still got some of your letters with me, and I
Thought sometimes, or I read too much
And I think you know, let's
Drink to the dead lying under the water and
The cost of the blood on the driven snow, and the
Lipstick on my cigarettes
Frost upon the window pane
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train....
She said do you remember a time when angels
Do you remember a time when fear?
In the days when I was stronger
In the days when you were here, she said
When days had no beginning
While days had no end, when
Shadows grew no longer I
Knew no other friend but you
Were wild
You were wild....
Frost upon these cigarettes
Lipstick on the window pane, and I've
Lost all sense of the world outside but I
Can't forget so I call your name and I'm
Looking for a life for me and I'm
Looking for a life for you and I'm
Talking to myself again and it's
So damn cold, it's just not true
Walking through the rain
Trying to hold on, waiting for the train and I'm
Only looking for what you want but it's
Lonely here and I think you knew and I'm
And I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train....

Some Kind of Stranger
And yes I believe in what we had
But words got in the way
And only yesterday
As I was leaving
Lord knows I tried to say, but I've
Heard a million conversations
Going where they've been before
Seen the way that careful lingers
Undecided at the door
And all I know for sure
All I know for real
Is knowing doesn't mean so much
When placed against the feeling
The heat inside
When bodies meet
When fingers touch
All of my words are second-
Useless in the face of this
Rationale and rhyme and reason
Pale beside a single kiss
And I've heard so many things I
Fail to understand at all
I'd settle anytime for
Unknown footsteps in the hall outside
And all I know for sure
All I know for real
Is knowing doesn't mean so much
When placed against the feeling
The heat inside
When bodies meet
When fingers touch
Because the world is cruel, and
Promises are broken
Don't try to tell me
Anything, don't try to tell me
You'll be true to me, you know the
Real truth is never spoken
And I know the world is cold, but
If you hold on tight to what you
Find you might not mind too much, though
Even this must pass away and
Memories may last for years but
Names are just for souvenirs
Some kind of Angel let me
Look into your eyes
Don't give me whys and wherefores
Reason for surprise
I don't care for words that don't belong
And I don't care what your called
Tell me later if at all
I can wait a long long time
Before I hear another love song
Come here I think your beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of Angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful beautiful
Some kind of Angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Some kind of Angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful beautiful
Some kind of stranger come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Some kind of stranger come inside
