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

(bridge)
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

Chorus:
Don't mess with Doctor Dream
Don't mess with Doctor Dream
He's not 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 the 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

(bridge)

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 that you must pay

(chorus)

Don't take that 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

Chorus:
Oh Lay your hands
Lay your hands on me
Oh lay your hands
Woo-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

(chorus)

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

(chorus to fade)

Future Days

Chorus:
Here's to future days (Oh future days) 
Here's to future days (Oh Oh)

(chorus x3)

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 payaing for the sins
Of fathers and the mothers and the pushers and the shovers
But most of all the Lord about us
Who made this stupid mess we're in

(chorus)

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

(chorus x5 to fade)

Roll Over

Father John and his keep
Preachin' to the women on the easy street for free
Roll over again
(give me drum)
Through the years
Plyin' his trade
Lookin' for heaven on a silver plate
Roll over again

If only he knew it didn't have to be that way
Ohh, the promised land
is just another slice of the cake

Chorus:
Round and round,
It's always round and round we go
(round and round we go)
Yeah, where it leads us
Nobody knows
(nobody) No, no, 
Dance and dance 
Why must we dance our lives away
(dance our lives away)
How much it bleeds us
No-one can say
(say say say say)

Jezebel made her way,
Sliding around on dirty sheets all day
So roll over again
(1,2, 3, 4)
She lived for years
With the fear
That real true love might never come her way
Roll over again

If only she knew it didn't have to be that way
Yeah, if true romance
was just another slice of the cake

(chorus)

You and me,
Chasing dreams
We can't see the forest for the trees
We roll over again
(yeah)
You and me
Dance so well
Just like John and Jezebel
We roll over again
(whoa-oh-oh-oh, let's dance!)

(chorus)

No one can say

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.
(chorus)
Don't you know it's going to be alright,
Don't you know it's going to be alright,
Don't you know it's going to be alright,
Well, alright
Everybody...Revolution!
Alright! (x 9)

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan.
You ask 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 brother you have to wait.

(chorus)

You say you'll change a constitution
Well, you know
We all want 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.

(chorus)

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 going to hurt you blind

(bridge)
You say you hunger for something you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore

(chorus)
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

(bridge & chorus)

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

(bridge)
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.
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah.

(chorus x2)

If I was King
For just one day
For just one thing to say
Love...

Love Is The Law

Have you heard that

Chorus:
Love, love, love is the law
Don't you know that
Love is the law

(chorus)

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

(chorus)

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 take
Or something just might break
Have you heard that

(chorus)

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

(chorus x2)

Emperor's Clothes (Part 1)

I feel rain slither down
In a hot desert sky
And when I, when I touch you
I'm left wondering why, why, why
I dream

(chorus)
There's no heaven above
(There's no heaven)
There's no hell down below
(There's no hell down below)
Just invisible man
In the Emperor'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

(chorus)

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

(chorus x2)

Toyko

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

Bridge 1: 
Where where you when I was cold
And all the world was out to get me

Chorus:
Tokyo
Why can't I ever say no
Tokyo

Sense 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

Bridge 2:
This human heart beats too much too fast
For comfort or for love in Tokyo

(chorus)

Elvis Presley
Me and Yoko
Keo Plazo
Pepsi Cola
Wax Tempura
Yamamoto
Sayonara

(bridge 1)

(chorus x7)

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

Chorus:
Was it from spite
Or 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

(chorus)

Yeah, you, you killed the clown
You laughed as she drowned
And it was the only time I ever saw you smile
Oh Precious and few
Were the clowns we all knew
Yeah they made us feel for a while

(chorus)

Yeah, you shot her down.

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

Chorus:
I just can't breakaway
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

(chorus)

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

(chorus x3 fading...)
