There was a girl I used to know She was oh so beautiful But she's not here anymore She had a college degree Smart as anyone could be Had so much to live for But she fell in love With the wrong kinda man He abused her love and treated her so bad There was not enough education in her world That could save the life of this little girl How come, how long It's not right, it's so wrong Do we let it just go on Turn our backs and carry on Wake up, for it's too late Right now, we can't wait She won't have a second try Open up your hearts As well as your eyes She tried to give a cry for help She even blamed things on herself But no one came to her aid Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell That's what we'd like to tell ourselves But no, it wasn't that way So she fell in love With the wrong kinda man And she paid with her life For loving that man So we cannot ignore We must look for the signs And maybe next time We might save somebody's life How come, how long It's not right, it's so wrong Do we let it just go on Turn our backs and carry on Wake up, for it's too late Right now, we can't wait She won't have a second try Open up your hearts As well as your eyes I on occasion met that guy It's been a feeling deep inside Something about him wasn't right The way he proves himself a man By beatin' his woman with his hands Oh I wish she'd seen the light (Hey) How can someone like that Call himself a man (He's not a man) Coz In reality he's far more less than that And we cannot ignore Whenever we see the signs 'Cause any kinda of abuse God knows it's a crime How come (how come...), how long (how long...) It's not right (it's not right...), it's so wrong (so wrong...) Do we let it just go on (just go...) Turn our backs and carry on Wake up (wake up...), for it's too late (too late...) Right now (now...), we can't wait (we can't wait...) She won't have a second try Open up your hearts As well as your eyes...

I travel around the world Just to kiss you Through airport terminals And neon lights, i sift through One hundred thousand miles Of swift motion and devotion In taxi cabs, i ride Through traffic and commotion Touching your perfect face I fall into you As our love fills the reaches of space I dive into you I'm channeling heat waves Of electricity Hitch-hiking on the noise With melting frequencies As snow caps tease the sky I call out your name And the land begins to fall Under my waking dreams No amount of distance can ever come between us

After hours into the street I'm stumbling, the rain is singin' A melody, and like a seed It grows in me, just like desire Feed new life into the fire Chew me up and spit me out I'm a taste of what is coming Conjuring the memory It's magical and tastes like wine Breathe new life into the fire I keep the beat in the palm of my hand I can measure the rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band I know where it's goin' better than anyone else I know what it wants better than I even know myself Pushing it forward, pulling it back The rush of release, the thrill of attack Holding the beat in the palm of my hand I can measure the rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band The rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band Intimate and sensory Tanglin' in frantic whispers Mischievous this devilry Secretly we hold each other Feel new life grow like desire Take your turn and write the scene You and I must dance together Feed me with your energy Sink into the deepest rhythm And give new life into the fire I keep the beat in the palm of my hand I can measure the rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band I know where it's goin' better than anyone else I know what it wants better than I even know myself Pushing it forward, pulling it back The rush of release, the thrill of attack Holding the beat in the palm of my hand I can measure the rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band The rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band The push, the pull, the rise, the fall The give, the take, the bones shake The in, the out, the scream, the shout The give, the take, the bones shake The push, the pull, the rise, the fall The give, the take, the bones shake The in, the out, the scream, the shout The give, the take, pulls us together Pushing it forward, pulling it back The rush of release, the thrill of attack Holding the beat in the palm of my hand I can measure the rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band The rise, the fall, the rhythm of the band

Every time time stops I start thinking I'm something I'm not My gut starts sinking I need my scene like chains need linking Like God needs making up A man needs making Turn up everything everywhere I hear nothing but white noise Pouring in through my thin veiled skin I'm breathing in bad air Book another life in Take me somewhere Deep down they tell me I'm OK Better start digging I don't wanna be all day I choose every second I'm giving Do I work for a death Do I work for a living I'll sing my praises No two ways about Making the call What goes What stays There's no tomorrows left Just todays I'm channeling something Channeling something Lie low Soak up your shadows We'll saddle up silk horses Drive them through the black snow Lense flare I fall deep into the hardware Slipping on whispers Coming up nowhere Wanna get let through Fat on my share This is where we head to Self hell Hell's where Heart lies Lies land Right cuts left hand Promises belly up Wriggle on the wet send My pride's in la la la land Hitch my ride I sit when you stand Don't mind being laughed at lied to As long as I'm straight backed Stand up See through Even in pitch black We'll know who's who Give me my voice back Untie tongue-tie Burn blue skies till cloud smoke fills My rattling eyes I've never been left so dead or alive Unbound and wild I'm channeling something Channeling something Lie low Soak up your shadows Saddle up silk horses Drive them through the black snow Lie Low Soak up your shadows We'll saddle up silk horses Drive them through the black snow
