I remember when we met last fall Inside a smoky Irish bar I saw you and we spoke throughout the night I asked you if you’d come with me And you begged for me to set you free For one moment our futures seemed so bright Let’s run away, let’s run away Forever now, we’ll disappear Let’s run away, let’s run away From here Let’s run away, let’s run away Oh you’ll grow fonder when I’m near Let’s run away, let’s run away From here We talked and talked and talked some more You cried upon the bedroom floor When I told you it was time for us to go So I waited all night in the cold And did for you as I was told Cause you promised in the morning that you’d show Let’s run away, let’s run away Forever now, we’ll disappear Let’s run away, let’s run away From here Let’s run away, let’s run away Oh you’ll grow fonder when I’m near Let’s run away, let’s run away From here And I’ll take you across the border To a place where we can hide From all this chaos and disorder It’s a place they’ll never find And you said call me when you’re a filmstar And you have success and fame And I’ll live off all your fortune And your good name Cause time with you is torture Time with you is hell And I don’t know where you’re going Time will tell, time will tell {solo} Let’s run away, let’s run away, let’s run…disappear Let’s run away, let’s run away from here Let’s run away, let’s run away, let’s run…disappear Let’s run away, let’s run away from here

The World Is Mine (free) 03:08
lyrics
download
If you want it, be the person that you hated Who you swore you'd never be, And whoever that you once were Was just a crisis of identity. Now my heart's gone cold, (But the world is mine) And my soul's been sold. (the world is mine) Though my cover's been blown, (the world is mine) I can go it alone. (the world is mine) Cause we want sparks, and we want flames. When we want theater, we jump on the stage. We'll get it fast, and we'll get it made, Cause we are creatures of a digital age. It's a cutthroat world, so now where am I? At the top of the heap or in the firing line? I will take what I need without a reason why, Cause I'm not gonna let myself down when the world is mine. The world is mine (x4)

Youth of America 03:46
lyrics

The voices are ringing on the microphone With the world at their fingertips, silent as stones They are waiting in line for the poster child Of a new generation that is all about style And they ask for my blood now but I’ve got to let go And they ask for my soul (oh yeah) I’ve got to let go And we’re walking on ice now but I’ve got to let go And we’re burning to ashes still I’ve got to let go Cause I don’t want to be one of the youth of America Walking the world so blind Cause we are the slaves of our culture We take all they feed through our minds And on the radio the broadcast is clear And the TV’s are on, yeah the cameras are near We’re a united front so it’s all very well We can’t think for ourselves but no one can tell And they ask for my blood now but I’ve got to let go And they ask for my soul (oh yeah) I’ve got to let go And we’re walking on ice now but I’ve got to let go And we’re burning to ashes still I’ve got to let go Cause I don’t want to be one of the youth of America Walking the world so blind Cause we are the slaves of our culture We take all they feed through our minds How many times must we do this again I’ve heard it before but you’ve spoiled the end The voices of truth are now on fire Burning the flames of my desires This is the way we sleep at night Knowing our pain is their delight This is the way we lose control Stealing and swearing that we never stole And they ask for my blood now but I’ve got to let go And they ask for my soul (oh yeah) I’ve got to let go And we’re walking on ice now but I’ve got to let go And we’re burning to ashes still I’ve got to let go Cause I don’t want to be one of the youth of America Walking the world so blind Cause we are the slaves of our culture We take all they feed through our minds Maybe someday in Australia The UK or Africa Someone will stop pretending Like the Youth in America And they ask for my blood now but I’ve got to let go And they ask for my soul (oh yeah) I’ve got to let go And we’re walking on ice now but I’ve got to let go And we’re burning to ashes still I’ve got to let go

Under Your Black Cloud 03:31
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been over this a thousand times again and again in my head But I can’t find a good reason why I never said what I should have said I’ve got to get myself to another place, I’ve got to get you out of my mind And release myself from your hold on me, within your web I’ve become entwined But I keep slipping back under, and it’s gonna kill me I keep slipping back under, yeah it’s gonna kill me Under your black cloud, making me dwell on the past I’m lost in a trance Under you black cloud, casting a shadow of doubt I’ve got to get out from under your black cloud I’m heading north for some arctic air cause I’m traumatized by your heat I’m behaving like a carnivore, who can’t seem to find any meat I’m gonna run through the middle of nowhere, drift across the desert sands in shame I’m gonna run through the gates of the city, back onto the streets to shoulder the blame But I keep slipping back under, and it’s gonna kill me I keep slipping back under, yeah it’s gonna kill me Under your black cloud, making me dwell on the past I’m lost in a trance Under you black cloud, casting a shadow of doubt I’ve got to get out from under your black cloud I've gotta get out of the rain, I can't stand the pain. I've gotta get out, get out, get out, get out. I won't play your game, we can't be the same. I've gotta get out, get out, get out, get out. I'm running lost in the streets, but I can taste your defeat. You've gotta get out, get out, get out, get out. I won't play your game, we can't be the same. I've gotta get out, get out, get out from under your black cloud.

Angelina 03:40

Stop, stop looking for sympathy And clouding your judgment in ecstasy When she starts selling her fantasy She’ll make the world stand still But this is such a discrepancy Last night was nothing but memories Cause she started selling her fantasy And made all time stand still - and you paid Cause you feel so alive And you feel so alive, alive again But it’s all in your head Cause it’s only pretend Angelina, don’t believe her it will only bring you down Angelina, don’t believe, don’t believe a word don’t believe a sound So stop, stop looking for sympathy And clouding your judgment in ecstasy When she starts selling her fantasy She’ll make the world stand still-and I paid Cause you feel so alive And you feel so alive, alive again But it’s all in your head Cause it’s only pretend Angelina, don’t believe her it will only bring you down Angelina, don’t believe, don’t believe a word don’t believe a sound Angelina, don’t believe her it will only bring you down Angelina, don’t believe, don’t believe a word don’t believe a... Cause you feel so alive And you feel so alive, alive again But it’s all in your head Cause it’s only pretend Angelina...if you want heaven she'll take you there Angelina...stop, stop bringing him down, stop bringing him down Angelina...she'll make you feel so alive, make you feel so alive Angelina...if you want heaven she'll take you there

Rock N' Roll Star 02:44
lyrics

She's been living out of his gaping pockets, Never had to lay out a dime. She gave her heart to the next highest bidder And left him to pay for the crime. I guess she's doing alright on her own, She says she doesn't want him no more. I guess she won't be coming back home, She says she's never seen him before... Cause she's a rock n' roll star. She's a rock n' roll star. Yeah she's a rock n' roll star. She's a rock n' roll... She's been spinning round the innermost circles, Never turned away at the door. Given enough to flatten a rhino, But they're always giving her more. I guess she's doing alright on the scene, Says she doesn't want him around. Cause she can go wherever she pleases, She's made this her kind of town. Cause she's a rock n' roll star. She's a rock n' roll star. Yeah she's a rock n' roll star. She's a rock n' roll... Cause she's a rock n' roll star. She's a rock n' roll star. See her head face down on the bar, Cause she's a rock n' roll star.

Promise Me, Promise Me 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Was this how life was supposed to be, Was this what they had in mind? Two lost souls searching endlessly For something they’ll never find. But I’ll go, cause I lost my faith in myself, and I lost my faith in you. I lost my faith in myself, and I lost my faith in you. Oh I wish that you were far away, I’ve lived to regret that day you came. Because I know that wherever we go from here, That things can never be the same. But you know I did everything I could To bring us to that happy end, And we’ve wasted each and every second chance, we’ve gone back and forth and back again. We’ve gone back again. So promise me, oh promise me you’ll leave me at the altar. Promise me, oh promise me you’ll swim for brighter shores. I have always been running from those things that have appalled me, But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more. And when I think of how you used to be, Before I sucked the life from you, I wonder how things got this way. Why was this the only fate we knew? Now you can cut me loose, I’ve got the knife in hand, I’ve put that thought back in your head. Cause we’re holding on when there’s nothing left, And all that trust is torn to shreds. It’s been torn to shreds. So promise me, oh promise me you’ll leave me at the altar. Promise me, oh promise me you’ll swim for brighter shores. I have always been running from those things that have appalled me, But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more. So this is how it was meant to be. This is what they had in mind. Two lost souls searching endlessly For something they’ll never find. So don’t go, you’ve got to have faith in yourself, Though I lost my faith in you. You’ve got to have faith in yourself, Though I lost my faith in you. You can still have some faith in yourself, Though I lost my faith in you. You’ve got to have faith in yourself, Though I lost my faith in, I lost my faith in you So promise me, oh promise me you’ll leave me at the altar. Promise me, oh promise me you’ll swim for brighter shores. I have always been running from those things that have appalled me, But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more. Back for more...I keep coming back for more Back for more...I keep coming back for more I have always been running from those things that have appalled me, But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more.

Another Place In Another Time 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Let's see the way they did this a thousand years ago, When the world felt the wait of man but the scars did not show. We'd walk among these people now so many dead And have a drink with the one right there from those books that I've read. And I'll say: I'm not from here I'm from another place in another time. I'm not from here I'm from another place in another time. But when the sun goes down it all looks the same to me. Just a pint will set us free. We'd talk about the times both future and the past, And we'd talk about the peace but I think it won't last. He'd try to change things, but he knows that it won't stick, So we drink 'till the morning hours, 'till we fall over sick. And I'll say: I'm not from here I'm from another place in another time. I'm not from here I'm from another place in another time. But when the sun goes down it all looks the same to me. Just a pint will set us free. Oh yeah I'm not from here I'm from another place in another time. I'm not from here I'm from another place in another time. I'm not from here, I'm not from here, I'm not from here, oh yeah. I'll be back tomorrow to the place where I belong With another drink and another drinking song. I'll be back tomorrow to the place that I call home With another friend but I feel so all alone.
