I've never been so certain I've never been sure We're on the side of angels If we believe this love is pure Is it so hard to trust it 'Cause we've been wrong before? There comes a time in every life We find the heart we're waiting for After all the 'Might-have-beens' The close and distant calls After all the 'Try-agains' Don't be afraid to fall We're on the side of angels after all Every time you touch me Don't you feel it too? The gentle hand that's guiding us You to me, me to you After all the 'Might-have-beens' The close and distant calls After all the 'Try-agains' Don't be afraid to fall We're on the side of angels after all Heaven only knows Why this took so long But only Heaven knows A love is right or wrong After all the 'Might-have-beens' The close and distant calls After all the 'Try-agains' Don't be afraid to fall We're on the side of angels On the side of angels On the side of angels, after all Ooh, yeah On the side of angels Ooh

After-glow in a distant row The door is open and the lights are cold The children come in here and they dare the ghost Like a fire burning in a stone Silent light in the theater's sky Phantom cigarette and a silent cry The door swings open and it's cold outside Run and hide, run and hide They can still see you, singing on the corner Singing songs that never fade away Fade into the kids that come along Memory in a silent seat Melody on a long retreat Like an angel on the balcony Like an angel on the balcony

In a house of only mirrors It isn't easy to ignore There's a grisly in my hallway There's a demon at my door He's tryna air out all my insides (oh) He wants to show me when I'm down (oh, oh) He's out there with the pin and shoelace (oh, oh) And he's Jimmy in the law (ah, ah) But angels on the ground Has been protecting me Angels on the ground Well, there's a window worth opening And there's a place I wanna get But I can't tell a mirror from a window When my car is on a frisk So, even if I unwant the prospective (ooh) And got the Camry running smooth (ah, ah) There isn't a map to where I'm driving (ah, ooh) And I'd have to build the highway too (ooh, ooh) But angels on the ground They've been helping me Angels on the ground No, life isn't a highway It's a pattern where if I stare hard enough All there should love I wanna wear it on me So in reflections I'm reminded I'm enough (Ah, ah-ah-ah) (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah) I only wanted it to end (ah, ah-ah-ah) For another luck again (ah-ah-ah) Cooling from cobwebs (ah-ah-ah) And you call me (ah) I only wanted it to end (ah, ah-ah-ah) For another luck again (ah-ah-ah) Cooling from cobwebs (ah-ah-ah) And you call me (ah) (Ah, ah-ah-ah) (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah)

Well it's high noon at the U.K. Corral And it's high time I got myself back on the rails I'm the lonesome cowboy, ridin' across the range With just a hand held radio to keep me sane Ridin' through the F.M.stations The tumbleweed and the petrol stations Will all on board this Yankee station Prepare themselves for battle stations? Jesus wept, Jesus Christ I can't see the tear gas and the dollar signs in my eyes Well, what's a man got left to fight for When he's bought his freedom By the look of this human jungle It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding Most everyone round here thinks they're something special That destiny will be kind While they're digging for gold, diving for pearls And aiming for Heaven from this man made world Come on down, the devil's in town He's brought you sticks and stones To bust your neighbors bones He's stuck his missiles in your gardens And his theories down your throat And God knows what your gonna do with him 'cause I certainly don't Jesus wept, Jesus Christ I can't see the tear gas and the dollar signs in my eyes Well, what's a man got left to fight for When he's bought his freedom By the look of this human jungle It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding Down by the river, I've been washing out my mouth 'Cause deep in the heart of me There's a frightened man breaking out Oh, I was just looking for paradise Anywhere in this world While they're gunning for Heaven from this man made hell God knows the state of jungles Angels and devils in town Angels, angels of deception Angels, angels of destruction Angels, the angels of deception Angels of destruction, angels of deception Angels of destruction, angels, angels of deception

Tunnel vision at blinding speed Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me Void of any uncertainty Throughout my very soul Lost illusions of mind control Resisting all hope of letting go Racing impulse of dark desire Drives me through the night I try to shut it down It leaves me in the dust No matter what I've found I can never get enough Frantic actions of insanity Impulsive laced profanity Long for elusive serenity Way out of my control Traveling through both space and time Out of body, out of mind Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Forever more, into the night, blistering Focus here, focus there Cannot see the light Falling down through the night Sprawling everywhere Searching left, searching right Panic setting in I can no longer fight When will this end? Accelerate, dislocate Set to crash and burn Haven't got time to waste Not planning to return Aggravate, agitate When will I ever learn? There's no way out of here Nowhere to turn Obsessive yearning Compulsive burning Still never learning Insane random thoughts of neat disorder Scattered wasteland surrounding me Tattered memories of what used to be Apocalyptic mind debris Until we meet again Traveling through both space and time Out of body, out of mind Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Forever more, into the night, blistering Traveling through both space and time Out of body, out of mind Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Can't stop the wheels from turning Traveling through both space and time You get yours and I got mine Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Forever more, into the night, blistering

To rise, to fall To hurt, to hate To want, to wait To heal, to save Can't hear it, we fear it Awareness won't come near it Distractive, reactive Disguised in spite of time I never bared my emotion My passion always strong I never lost my devotion But somewhere fate went wrong Can't let them rape me again Your venom's not family here Won't let them fill me with Fatalistic remedies What if the rest of the world Was hopelessly blinded by fear? Where would my sanctity live? Suddenly nobody cares It's never enough You're wasting your time Isn't there something I could say? You don't understand You're closing me out How can we live our lives this way? You tell me I'm wrong I'm risking my life Still, I have nothing in return I show you my hands You don't see the scars Maybe you'll leave me here to burn What if the rest of the world Was hopelessly drowning in vain? Where would our self pity run? Suddenly everyone cares Blood... heal me Fear... change me Belief will always save me Blood... swearing Fear... staring Conviction made aware Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret Do you feel you don't know me anymore? And do you feel I'm afraid of your love? And how come you don't want me asking? And how come my heart's not invited? You say you want everyone happy Well, we're not laughing And how come you don't understand me? And how come I don't understand you? Thirty years say we're in this together So open your eyes People in prayer for me Everyone there for me Sometimes I feel I should face this alone My soul exposed It calms me to know that I won't Blood... heal me Fear... change me Belief will always save me Blood... swearing Fear... staring Conviction made aware Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret Blood... heal me Fear... change me Belief will always save me Blood... swearing Fear... staring Conviction made aware Learning from misery Staring back at dissent Leaving distrust behind I'm inspired and content

He seemed no different from the rest Just a healthy normal boy His mama always did her best And he was daddy's pride and joy He learned to walk and talk on time But never cared much to be held And steadily he would decline Into his solitary shell As a boy he was considered somewhat odd Kept to himself most of the time He would daydream in and out of his own world But in every other way he was fine He's a Monday morning lunatic Disturbed from time to time Lost within himself In his solitary shell A temporary catatonic Madman on occasion When will he break out Of his solitary shell He struggled to get through his day He was helplessly behind He poured himself onto the page Writing for hours at a time As a man he was a danger to himself Fearful and sad most of the time He was drifting in and out of sanity But in every other way he was fine He's a Monday morning lunatic Disturbed from time to time Lost within himself In his solitary shell A momentary maniac With casual delusions When will he be let out Of his solitary shell
