Don't Mess with Doctor Dream
|
|
Don't mess with Doctor Dream Don't mess with Doctor Dream Come lay your head down on the stone So cool and white and welcome home Oh, lose your troubles, ease your pain Soothe your soul in golden rain Blue Marble Seas I will make you feel so good Roll over me Blue marble dreams Like you always knew you would Roll over me Don't mess with Doctor Dream Don't mess with Doctor Dream He's not the one for sympathy Don't mess with Doctor Dream Don't mess with Doctor Dream He will bring you to your knees In the hours before dawn You curse the day that you were born Oh, those demons scream in ecstasy And you crawl around in agony Doctor jeers and fades away Yeah, this is the price that you must pay Don't mess with Doctor Dream Don't mess with Doctor Dream He's not the one for sympathy Don't mess with Doctor Dream Don't mess with Doctor Dream He will bring you to your knees Don't take that, take this! Take this!" He's not one for sympathy He will bring you to your knees Oh, lose your troubles, ease your pain This is the price you must pay Don't mess with Doctor Dream Don't mess with Doctor Dream He's not the one for sympathy Don't mess with Doctor Dream Don't mess with Doctor Dream He will bring you to your knees Don't take that, take this! Take this! |

Lay Your Hands on Me
|
|
This old life seemed much too long With little point in going on I couldn't think of what to say Words just vanished in the haze I was feeling cold and tired Yeah kinda sad and uninspired But when it almost seemed too much I see your face And sense the grace And feel the magic in your touch Oh, lay your hands Lay your hands on me Oh, lay your hands Oo oo oo oo Oh, lay your hands Oh, lay your hands on me Back and forth across the sea I have chased so many dreams But I have never felt the grace That I have felt in your embrace Oh I was tired and I was cold Yeah with a hunger in my soul When it almost seemed too much I see your face And sense the grace And feel the magic in your touch Oh, lay your hands Lay your hands on me Oh, lay your hands Oo oo oo oo Oh, lay your hands Oh, lay your hands on me Now you made me feel so good Yeah like I never ever thought I would You know you make me feel so strong And now our laughter just goes on and on So c'mon lay your hands on me Cause close to you is where I really wanna be And if it ever gets too much I see your face And sense the grace And feel the magic in our touch Oh, lay your hands Lay your hands on me Oh, lay your hands Oo oo oo oo Oh, lay your hands Oh, lay your hands on me |

Future Days
|
|
Here's to future days (oh, future days) Here's to future days (oh oh) I'm sick and tired of repeating history Of waving flags that don't mean much to me Black versus white, women versus men The power of the dollar and the price of yen I'm sick and tired of paying for the sins Of fathers and the mothers and the pushers and the shovers But most of all the Lord above us Who made this stupid mess we're in Here's to future days (oh, future days) Here's to future days (oh oh) We have a vision of a better time Where we all live in grace and pride And everyone will have their say And know they're part of the future way We have a dream of heaven on earth Where we all work together and know our worth Where joy and laughter and love and affection Will keep us movin' in the right direction Here's to future days (oh, future days) Here's to future days (oh oh) |

You Killed the Clown
|
|
Draped in silk gown She danced around She filled this place with her smile She was the queen Of an Amazon dream She made us feel for a while Was it from spite Of just sheer delight You stooped so low I wanna know Why you killed the clown (Yeah) You shot her down I watch you try Try to make that girl cry So you could be king for just one day And you said that her smile Was no more than a lie Just because she had something, something to say Was it from spite Of just sheer delight You stooped so low I wanna know Why you killed the clown (Yeah) You shot her down You killed the clown You laughed as she drowned And it was the only time I ever saw you smile Precious and few Were the clowns we all knew Yeah, they made us feel for a while Was it from spite Of just sheer delight You stooped so low I wanna know Why you killed the clown (Yeah) You shot her down |

Revolution
|
|
You say you want a revolution Well, you know, we all want to change the world You tell me that it's evolution Well, you know, we all want to change the world But when you talk about destruction Don't you know that you can count me out/in Don't you know it's gonna be alright You say you got a real solution Well, you know, we'd all love to see the plan You asked me for a contribution Well, you know, we're doing what we can But if you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell you is, brother, you have to wait Don't you know it's gonna be alright You say you'll change the constitution Well, you know we'd all love to change your head You tell me it's the institution Well, you know you better free your mind instead But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao You ain't going to make it with anyone, anyhow Don't you know it's gonna be alright |

King for a Day
|
|
I know you well And I can tell Something's on your mind 'Cos in your dreams The demon screams And I know he's gonna hurt you blind You say you hunger for something you can't name at all And love is not enough anymore If I was king for just one day I would give it all away I would give it all away to be with you If I was king for just one day I had just one thing to say You know that love is All we need to get us through Diamond rings And all those things They never sparkle like your smile And as for fame It's just a name That only satisfies you for a while You say you hunger for something you can't name at all And love is not enough anymore If I was king for just one day I would give it all away I would give it all away to be with you If I was king for just one day I had just one thing to say You know that love is All we need to get us through I've heard it said Or maybe read Only money makes the world go 'round But all the gold Won't heal your soul If your world should tumble to the ground You say you hunger for something you can't name at all And love is not enough anymore So listen Love is all, love is all, love is all we need Love is all, love is all, love is all we need, yeah If I was king for just one day I would give it all away I would give it all away to be with you If I was king for just one day I had just one thing to say You know that love is All we need to get us through |

Love Is the Law
|
|
Have you heard that Love, love, love is the law Don't you know that Love is the law People fighting in the name of freedom Sometimes I wonder if we really need 'em Have you heard the rumour going 'round There's gonna be big changes in this town And there'll be no more fighting, no more fuss You'd better listen to us Have you heard that Love, love, love is the law Don't you know that Love is the law Fighting in the name of religion Another senseless contradiction So when you feel like getting rough 'n' tough Remember no excuse is good enough You better start giving more than you can take Or something just night break Have you heard that Love, love, love is the law Don't you know that Love is the law Fighting to prevent a war Why should we do it anymore I know we can live here side by side Not just a few in front and most behind This world is big enough for everyone C'mon let's have some fun Have you heard that Love, love, love is the law Don't you know that Love is the law |

Emperor's Clothes (part 1)
|
|
I feel rain slither down A hot desert sky And when I, when I touch you I'm left wondering why, why, why I dream There's no heaven above (There's no heaven) There's no hell down below (There's no hell down below) Just invisible men In the empoeror's clothes I see my dear clown And she's draped in silk gowns And we both, we both laugh As we tumble down, down, down You dream There's no heaven above (There's no heaven) There's no hell down below (There's no hell down below) Just invisible men In the empoeror's clothes There is no time for crying 'Cos the time waltzes by And we twirl and we touch And we both know why, why, why We dream There's no heaven above (There's no heaven) There's no hell down below (There's no hell down below) Just invisible men In the empoeror's clothes |

Tokyo
|
|
Take my hand Rob me for a while of my sight Don't let me stand Here underneath the red light Oh, touch my face Feel the fascination as love grows Your embrace Eases the pain that only Tokyo knows Where were you when I was cold And all the world was out to get me Tokyo Why can't I ever say no Tokyo Senses the chill Of silent nights on my skin Feel the thrill As these four walls just cave in Taste the rain Splashes down on my roof Seek in vain For you will never know the real truth This human heart beats much too fast For comfort or for love in Tokyo Tokyo Why can't I ever say no Tokyo Elvis Presley Me and Yoko Keo Plazo Coca Cola Wax Tempura Yamamoto Sayonara Where were you when I was cold And all the world was out to get me Tokyo Why can't I ever say no Tokyo |

Breakaway
|
|
The moon shines cold with ice tonight And I can see your face now in the violet light And though you're a thousand miles away I can hear you clearly I hear every word you say I just can't break away No matter how I try I just can't get away I just can't find no peace of mind anyway I have dreams that I don't understand They're all tangled up like your hair in my hands And though you're a thousand miles away I can see you clearly I feel every breath you take I just can't break away No matter how I try I just can't get away I just can't find no peace of mind anyway The moon strikes fear in hearts of men And I thought I would never see your face again And though you're a thousand miles away I can hear you clearly I tremble with every word you say I just can't break away No matter how I try I just can't get away I just can't find no peace of mind anyway |
