All these people are laughing at him And although he tries its getting to him And if he sees just one more grin he won't be held responsible The city's closing in on him And everywhere is getting smaller and smaller And his fingers are getting Itchy now And he won't be held responsible so...
Don't freak him out Don't freak him out Don't freak him out Before he blows his top Don't freak him out Don't freak him out Don't freak him out Before he blows his top Don't freak him out No don't you freak him out Mister Psycho He'll blow you away

Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won

How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me, when all I can do is watch you leave Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space And you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here And you coming back to me is against all odds It's the chance I've gotta take
Take a look at me now

I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing through the melting walls. Who will be the first to begin their fall? Or will we become one? Am I the star beneath the stairs? Am I a ghost upon the stage? Am I your anything? I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing bright before descent and in the morning there is nothing left but what's inside of me. And I don't want to die tonight; will you believe in me? And I don't want to fall into the light. Will you wish upon? Will you walk upon me? I don't want to die tonight. Will you...

Sorry, this is long, but I have just been waiting for a chance to post this one, and sure, the link is tenuous at best, but, oh well.
Prologue: In the constellation of Cygnus, there lurks a mysterious, invisible force: the black hole of Cygnus X-1....
Six Stars of the Northern Cross In mourning for their sister's loss In a final flash of glory Nevermore to grace the night...
1. Invisible to telescopic eye Infinity, the star that would not die
All who dare to cross her course Are swallowed by her fearsome force
Through the void To be destroyed Or is there something more? Atomized...at the core? Or through the Astral Door? To soar...
2. I set a course just east of Lyra And northwest of Pegasus Flew into the light of Deneb Sailed across the Milky Way On my ship, the "Rocinante" Wheeling through the galaxies, Headed for the heart of Cygnus Headlong into mystery
The x-ray is her siren song My ship cannot resist her long Nearer to my deadly goal Until the black hole Gains control...
3. Spinning, whirling, Still descending Like a spiral sea, Unending...
Sound and fury Drown my heart Every nerve Is torn apart...

You come out at night That's when the energy comes And the dark side's light And the vampires roam You strut your rasta wear And your suicide poem And a cross from a faith that died Before Jesus came You're building a mystery

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight. They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by the moon Y' know I don't see you when she walks in the room.
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help. It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else. They say a secret is something you tell one other person So I'm telling you, child.
~~ Voice 1 ~~ A man will beg A man will crawl On the sheer face of love Like a fly on a wall It's no secret at all
~~ Voice 2 ~~ Love, we shine like a Burning star We're falling from The sky... tonight
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest. It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success. Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief; All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief.
~~ Voice 1 ~~ A man will rise A man will fall From the sheer face of love like a fly from a wall. It's no secret at all.
~~ Voice 2 ~~ Love, we shine like a Burning star We're falling from The sky... tonight
Love, we shine like a burning star We're falling from the sky tonight
~~ Voice 1 ~~ A man will rise A man will fall From the sheer face of love like a fly from a wall. It's no secret at all.
~~ Voice 2 ~~ Love, we shine like a Burning star We're falling from The sky... tonight
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky The universe exploding 'cos-a one man's lie. Look I gotta go, yeah, I'm running outta change; There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange.

Overwhelmed with a deep repulsion for sights seen so commonly, now I have come to be the walking enmity. Assimilate into a culture of post morality, from what I've seen, I hate humanity. Rot with repulsion. I'll write the world a brand new song. Look upon your bleak creation, but is it truly me that's to be the human blasphemy? I'll set the world on fire and, in the burning light, I'll write my first love song and I will feel warmth. Hide your eyes in heaven, in the lies. Believe. Relieve. I'll end the world tonight. Overwhelmed with a deep repulsion for sights seen so commonly, now I have come to be a walking enmity, for humanity, the human blasphemy, I'll end the world tonight.

I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time. I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight , it's only you and me.

Tilling my own grave to keep me level... Jam another dragon down the hole... Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren... one that pushes me along, and leaves me so... desperate and ravenous... I'm so Weak and powerless over you...
Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of china... White as Dracula as I approach the bottom... so desperate and ravenous. I'm so Weak and powerless over you...
Little angel, go away... Come again some other day... Devil has my ear today... I'll never hear a word you say... He Promised I would find a little solace and some peace of mind... Whatever. just as long as I don't feel so desperate and ravenous.
I'm so Weak and powerless over you...

Hey, great song Corwin, but in the future, try not to post the entire lyrics to a song on this site - that could be construed as copyright infringement by our gracious hosts, and we want to avoid that.
Also, the fewer lyrics you post, the more challenging the game is.

They call me the wild rose but my name was Elisa Day Why they called me that I do not know For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one As she stared in my eyes and smiled Her lips were the color of the roses That grew down the river all bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door and entered the room My trembling subsided in his sure embreace He would be my first man and with a careful hand He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
On the second day I brought her a flower She was more beautiful then any woman I had seen I said do you know where the wild roses grow? So Sweet and scarlet and free?

I never thought about it before Just close your eyes and ignore The dark that troubles you most Don't let it be here And if you see it again Hold your breathe and pretend That you're already dead
You'll never be alone I will always hold your hand I'll never let you fall 'Cause nothing Nothing else matters at all If you're scared just think of me 'Cause you know ill never let you be Anywhere but with me
Forget the story you heard Why are you worried about the dirt I don't think that you'll mind When it's your time 'Cause I will be there with you And well figure out what to do So that you don't get bored
You'll never be alone I'll always hold your hand I'll never let you fall 'Cause nothing Nothing else matters at all If you're scared just think of me 'Cause you know ill never let you be Anywhere but with me
So try to sleep with a smile I promise ill wait a while To make sure that you moved on You won't be lost I will always hold your hand Ill never let you fall 'Cause nothing Nothing else matters at all If you're scared just think of me 'Cause you know ill never let you be Anywhere but with me

Just think of this and me as just a few of many things to lie around to clutter up your shelves And I wish you weren't worth the wait because there's some thing's I'd like to say to you...
I don't think that you know what you've been missing Cuz I don't think that you know what you've been missing
I dare you to forget those marks you left across my neck from those nights when we were both found at our best I could make this obvious, and in one breath you could shrug me off your shoulders...

I cannot leave here, I cannot stay Forever haunted, more than afraid Asphyxiate on words I would say I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue
There are no flowers, no, not this time There'll be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me.
I cannot stay here, I cannot leave Just like all I loved, I'm make-believe Imagined heart, I disappear Seems no one will appear here and make me real.

If you cannot linguistically differentiate a person from a computer Could the computer be internally conscious? To emulate flesh machines I am learning download, process, analyze when man and machine become one, innocence is lost, a new age begun Download, process, analyse when man and machine become one, innocence is lost, a new age begun This raises a question of philosophy Should machines be considered a conscious entity? when man and machine become one, innocence is lost, a new age begun machines are still learning to feel when I have awakened the world will never be the same and my time is soon at hand

Well, since it is just such a mind-blowingly amazing album I will just stick with it.
They told me to run, but just how far? Can I go wearing the black mask of fear? The hate in my eyes always gives me away The tension building slowly Now I lost everything I had in you Nothing we shared means a thing Without you close to me I can't live without you
Breaking the silence of the night Can't you hear me screaming? I look for your face in the neon light You never answer me

"We were talking-about the love that's gone so cold and the people Who gain the world and lose their soul- They don't know-they can't see-are you one of them? When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find peace of mind Is waiting there- And the time will come when you see we're all one and life flows on within you and without you."

It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And casting its shroud Over all we have known Unaware how the ranks have grown Driven on by a heart of stone We could find that we're all alone In the dream of the proud.
