Lyrics

1.
Over the Mountain
Over the mountain take me across the sky
Something in my vision, something deep inside
Where did I wander d'ya think I wandared to
I've seen life's magic astral plane I travel through

I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told then I had ridden shooting stars
And said I'd show them now

Over and over always tried to get away
Living in a day dream only place I had to stay
Fever of a break out burning in me miles wide
People around me talking to the walls inside

I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told then I had ridden shooting stars
And said I'd show them now

Don't need no astrology it's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to fly with me I'm free

Over and under in between the lips and downs
Mind on a carpet magic ride goes round and round
Over the mountain kissing silver in laid clouds
Watching my body disappear into the crowd

Don't need no astrology it's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to fly with me I'm free
2.
Flying High Again
Got a crazy feelin' I don't understand
Gotta get away from here
Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear

Mama's gonna worry
I been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy

If you could be inside of me
You'd see, you'd see what light I see
Flyin' high again

I can see through mountains watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colors of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy? You bet

Mama's gonna worry
I been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy

If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is read

Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again
Come on and join me

Oh no, oh no
Here we go now
Oh no, oh no
Here we go now

Daddy thinks I'm crazy he don't understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I'm lazy but I'm in demand
Never heard a word I said

Mama's gonna worry
I been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin sorry
It's something that I enjoy

Flyin high again

You Can't Kill Rock and Roll
How many times can they fill me with lies and I listen, again
Twisting the truth and they're playin' around with my head O.K.
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries
For the reason today

And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve

Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock and roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock and roll, it's here to stay

Looking through eyes of time mirrors reflecting their stories untrue
Promises, promises, telling me all of my glories overdue
How many times have I heard it before
And I'll probably hear it again
King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table light
Losing to you

And they don't really know even what they're talking about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve

Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock and roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock and roll, it's here to stay

Even the rhymes that they give me in times of confession ain't true
Outcome is obvious, all for them none for us, meaning you too
The things they will do and the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Fear of rejection, I need their protection
I'm making a stand

And they don't really know even what they're talking about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve

Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock and roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock and roll, it's here to stay

Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock and roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
I'm born to rock and roll, I'm here to stay

Believer
Watching the time go and feeling belief grow
Rise above the obstacles
People beech me but they'll never teach me
Things that I already know(I know)

Dreams that have shattered my not have mattered
Take another point of view
Doupts will arise though like chasing a rainbow
I can tell a thing or two(That's true)

You've got to believe in yourself or no one
Will believe in you
Imagination like a bird on the wind
Flying, free for you to use(OK baby)

I can't believe they stop and stare
And point their fingers do upting me
Their disbelief suppresses them
But they're not blind it's just that they won't see

I'm a believer, I ain't deceiver
Mountains more before my eyes
Destiny planned out I don't need no handout
Speculation of the wise

Little Dolls
Wrything and screaming the pain just won't go
He'll show you no mercy
Your image in his hands it's useless to try
Escaping his curses

The pins and needles prick the skin of little dolls
Tortured and flaming you give birth to hell living a nightmare
It's a pity you'll play for your death but he is in no hurry
The pins and needles prick the skin of little dolls

No where to run - your fate is in his hands
Your time has come - you'll live to his command
I'm warning you - the worst is yet to come
The killer who - remains a mystery

I that believe in the stories of old - would never fight it
Demons and ourses that play on your soul
Like something ignited

You never imagined such a fate would follow you
(You never thought it was true)
And when it's your time I wonder now you'll do
You broke the rules
You're been a fool
The little dolls is you yeah!

No where to run - your fate is in his hands
Your time has come - you'll live to his command
I'm warning you - the worst is yet to come
The killer who - remains a mystery

Wrything and screaming the pain just won't go
He'll show you no mercy
Your image in his hands it's useless to try
Escaping his curses

No where to run - your fate is in his hands
Your time has come - you'll live to his command
I'm warning you - the worst is yet to come
The killer who - remains a mystery

Tonight
Now I'm back out on the street again
It never rains unless it pours
Try to get back on my feet again
I hear the raging thunder as it rours

Tonight tonight is it just a rhapsody
Or am I right
Tonight tonight is it all a mystery
I just can't fight no more

I hear the questions surface in my mind
Of my mistakes that I have made
Times and places I have left behind
And am I ever gonna make the grade

Tonight tonight is it just a rhapsody
Or am I right
Tonight tonight is it all a mystery
I just can't fight no more

As I beat my head against the wall
Running round in circles in vain
I'm feeling three foot fall
You don't understand I'm feading away

Don't want your pity or your sympathy
It isn't gonna prove a thing to me
Good intentions pave the way to hell
Don't you worry when you hear me sing

Tonight tonight is it just a rhapsody
Or am I right
Tonight tonight is it all a mystery
I just can't fight no more

S.A.T.O.
Low I find piece of mind
Finally found a way of thinking
Tried the rest fount the best
Stormy day won't see me sinking

I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore

Dare to look face the test on the ere
When you set sailing
What you've learned what you've earned
Ship of joy will stop you failing

I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore

Wind is high so am I
As the shore sinks in the distance
Dreams unfold seek the gold
Gold thats brighter than the sunlight
Sail away see the day
Dawning on a new horizon
Golds insight shining bright
Brighter than the sun thats rising

3000 sails on high are straining in the wind
a raging sea helow is this voyage coming to an end

Diary of a Madman
Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation endless price I have to pay

Sanity now it's beyond me there's no choice

Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dear diary I'm here to stay

Manic depression befriends me
Hear his voice
Sanity now it's beyond me
There's no choice

A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me
Is he tryin' to get out or tryin' to enter me

Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself

Enemies fill up the pages
Are they me
Monday till Sunday in stages
Set me free
