Stay

You say you gotta go now, well that's okay.
Run away, like some lost child.
You say I never cared much, that's no lie.
Run away, don't waste your time.

Chorus
You never listen, you never did.
But before you walk away, there's just one thing I've got to say.
Stay...Why won't you stay?
Run away, like some black rose...

You say I never loved you, so your taking sides.
Oh well, it seems the reason is just,
jealousy and pride.

(Chorus x2)

Stay...Why won't you stay?
Run away, like some black rose...
Stay...Why won't you stay?
Run away, like some black rose...

Forever Live & Die

I never wanted another, come over to me and discover.
I want to be near you, and you need to be far away.
You always seem to make me feel at home, hey you, people like us.

Chorus:
I never know, I never know, I never know, I never know why...
You make me wanna cry.
I never know, I never know, I never know, I never know why...
Forever live and die.

I look at all of the people, doing it over and over.
You never get any older. I wish that you could be here.
I look at you and I make the same mistakes, hey you, people like us.

(chorus) (4)

The Pacific Age

The pacific age is growing strong.
Its arms embrace with for killing grace.
It shakes your hand as it takes your place.
The modern age, like a slow revenge.
Like a wave that breaks over distant shores.
It begs for mercy and it takes up more and more and more.

Chorus:
The pacific age comes down like rain,
washing over us again and again.
It's spreading west like a speeding train.
As the wheels slow down and you lose the game.

The pacific age, tell no lies.
A dream that calls like an open door.
It keeps you hoping.
But it takes, it takes, it takes up more.

(chorus)

The pacific age comes down like rain,
drifting round us grain by grain.
It's rising up like a fatal flame.
As your heart slows down and you lose the game.

(chorus)

The pacific age has no regrets.
It feeds on dreams, it wins its bets.
A neon rain from east to west.
As the plans we make stop making sense.

The pacific age, it calls your name.
It bites your hand, you feel no pain.
Racing home, you run in vain.
As your heart slows down and you lose the game.

The Dead Girls

Those girls are laughing now, they take my breath away.
And all these dreams I've had come back to me.

The light is never on, they haven't fixed it yet.
The catholic girls, they never fear, they grew up like that.
Those girls are always dreaming, they need your sympathy.
Their vision's fading now, change your mind again.

So take me away, life is never this strange.
Counting your blessings, when you're out of range.

Those girls are laughing now, they take my breath away.
And all these dreams I've had, the dead girls sing.
Counting all our blessings like an extra day.
We turn and walk away.

Counting our blessings like an extra day.
We pray that we can stay.
The dead girls never care, they never were that way.
The dead girls never speak, not today.

Shame

If there's one thing I know, things are gonna change.
It's gonna be a different ending, though I'm not one to complain.
But there's never been a right time, and we never been too far.
But you're the only single thing I know that's holding back my heart.

Chorus:
Take your kiss from my mouth, take your heart from my heart,
this will never happen again.
You know that your promises won't last for one day.
God knows it's a shame, but it's always the way.

And a second time just wouldn't be the same.
But you're changing with your faces and you're gonna be lost again.
If you're with or without me, I've made up my mind.
Well, I'm hoping and praying that you're, you're running out of time.

(chorus x2)

God knows it's a shame, but it's always the way.
God knows it's a shame, but it's always, it's always the way.
God knows it's a shame, but it's always the way.

Southern

"I remember that Monday morning when I was subpoenaed to be in court"
"Many things ran through my mind, and I started thinking about the people.
All day long, trying to think of something to say to the people."
"Are you ready for the question? [cheer] ... but let it be known by
standing on your feet. [cheer] I want young men and young women who are not
alive today to ... an individual with new privileges and new opportunities.
I want them to know and see that these new privileges and opportunities did
not come without somebody suffering and sacrificing for them.
Freedom is never given to anybody."
"Like anybody I would like to live a long life. Longevity has it's place.
But I'm not concerned about that know. I just want to do God's will.
And he has allowed me to go up to the mountain, and I've looked over
and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you,
but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.
[long cheer] So I'm happy tonight, I'm not worried about anything, I'm not fearing any man.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the coming of the Lord.
[cheer] Glory hallelujah, glory hallelujah"

(Discurso do líder negro Martin Luther King Jr.)

Flame Of Hope

There's a flame of hope burning in my heart.
There's a strange emotion tearing me apart.
Cause I know, I know, cause I know...

There's a flame of hope calling out your name.
When my arms embrace you it extinguishes the flame.
Cause I know, I know, cause I know...

Goddess Of Love

Hey, hey...She's okay, she's okay...
Hey...she's okay, she's okay...

Chorus 1:
The goddess of love, the goddess of love...
She never slows down, but she can't get enough.
The goddess of love, the goddess of love...
She's holding her heart to the stars above.

She can't afford dreams when her clothes are on.
She can't afford hope, wouldn't be so bold.
But she's holding his heart and she won't let it go again.

She's a femme fatale, well that's what they say.
But he knows he couldn't love her any other way.
Cause she's holding him now and she won't let it go again.
Yeah, she's holding him now and she'll never let it go again.

(chorus) 1

She never slows down, but she doesn't play a snake.
Just crusing around in her own sweet way.
But she's taking her time and he's gonna get fooled again.

She learned about life, 'till she wished she were dead.
So she treats that guy with like hole in the head.
Can you see her now? You'll never get lucky again.
Can you see her now? You'll never get lucky again.

(chorus) 1

Goddess of love... (12)
Heart and soul...

She's the goddess of love and she covers the ground.
She looks just great and she never slows down.
But she's holding his heart and she won't let it go again.

Chorus 2:
Yeah, she's holding his heart and she won't let it go again.
Oh, she's holding his heart and she won't let it go again.

(chorus) 2

We Love You

We got to get a message to the stars above.
Like a radio in heaven, playing just for love.
With every single tear drop along the way.
We put them in our pockets for a rainy day.

But here we are in trouble like we always are.
Just praying for a miracle, reaching for stars.

Chorus 1:
We love you, would die for you.
We need you, everyday.

We've got a message to the promised land.
Like semafores in motion so they'll understand.
And every single vision that we saw today, we didn't quite believe them in the usual way.
Yet here we are in heaven, who could want for more?
We always end up getting what we're asking for.

(chorus) 1

Chorus 2:
We love you, wouldn't leave you.
We miss you, far away.

It's just another promise like we've heard before.
Never really knowing what we're fighting for.

(chorus 1)

(chorus 2) (2)

(chorus 1)

Watch Us Fall

Here we come again like a message in the pouring rain.
And every now and then I still call your name.
Like partners in crime, every once in awhile.
Like the fishes at sea, it's just the life we lead.

Chorus:
We're going up. We're going down again.
We're going up. We're coming down again.
Watch us fall...

And time stood still in a distant town.
I know you, I know much too well.
Last year you said it's time to settle down.
But last time I saw you, oh you were still running around.

(chorus)

Watch us fall...

Remember when you say it's time to settle down?
Well last time I saw you, oh you were still running around.

(chorus)

Watch us fall... (5)
