Agent Orange Album

night time - all alone - nowhere to begin
it seems to me that in the past
the darkness was my friend
those times have changed, i'm now a stranger
in a violent place
i walk alone down empty streets
i turn my head, did someone call my name?

i feel allright - but i keep on hearing voices in the night

i've got a feeling something's wrong
but i can't place it
a feeling that i know is real
'cause i can taste it
someone's watching me - i feel their presence
but i can't see them
some else is right behind me
i hold my breath - i get the feeling...

i feel allright - but i keep on hearing voices in the night

yeah, i can hear you even now
telling me - here's what makes this world go 'round
and again, i can see that you believe
isn't that what it means to be nieve?

think ahead, and watch your step
do your best, to make the most
of every chance, that you can get
it's in your thoughts, it's on your mind
it's in your head

hey you! this is not your lucky day
would i lie? no! i'm behind you all the way
what will you do, when this thing hits you like a bomb?
you will laugh (ha!), and you'll know that i was wrong

[chorus]

i don't know - sometimes i just can't believe my eyes
the things i see, things that really
mean the world to me - just falling down
and i wonder, how long will it last?
i don't know, all i know is we have got to do our best

think ahead, and watch your step
do your best, to make the most
of every chance, that you can get
it's in your thoughts, it's on your mind
it's in your head
here it comes - give it everything you've got
yeah this is it, and like i said
it's in your thoughts, it's on your mind
it's in your head

another time - another place
another answer just in case
it's just a memory that i will soon forget
another glamorous debut
another chance to see right through
your empty promises that mean so much to me

and all at once i get the feeling
that i'll never get the chance to talk to you
and all at once i get the feeling
that i'll never hear you say it isn't true

i had a dream - i saw you in a magazine
i turned the page and you were gone
i can't explain - i can't express the way i feel
it's so complex - it's so unreal

(chorus)

all these places i have been
there all the same - it's just the miles and miles
that set them all apart
and all these faces i have seen
it seems to me that they've been
trying to tell me something from the start

and all at once i get the feeling that i'll
never get the chance to talk to you
and all at once i get the feeling
that i've got to hear you say it isn't true

right from the beginning
clouds began to form
but we were all too young
to fear the power of the storm
if we had lost our hopes
we know our dreams would still remain
because nothing is impossible
and nothing burns like
fire in the rain

thunder rocked the mountains
lightning cracked the sky
no one that survived this hurricane
would dare deny
if fate had played it's part
there would be nothing to explain
what was once a very tiny spark
is now a blazing fire in the rain

now - see the sun - coming out
from behind the darkest clouds
say goodbye - to the storm
as it moves across the sky
see the fire - burning brighter
than it ever has before
move in close - touch the flame
burn like fire in the rain

if your whole life feels incomplete
learn this song and sing yourself to sleep

anger turns to hatred - as the nights turn into days
people disappoint me in so many different ways
close your eyes - drift off to sleep
this song i sing is yours to keep
think of me, you'll be all right - we'll be together
in your dreams tonight
intensify the feel, the sound, the sight
we'll be together - in your dreams tonight

love belongs to no one - no one seems to care
i'm convinced that i could change your mind
if i was there
don't be sad, it's not so bad
just use your weary mind to add
some color to these lives - all black and white
in your dreams tonight
intensify the feel, the sound, the sight
in living color - in your dreams tonight

people try so hard - it doesn't mean a thing
just think of all the happiness
this little one will bring
looking through your eyes
i see the things you see
reaching out to grab a hold of me
in your dreams tonight
intensify the feel, the sound, the sight
i promise i'll be in your dreams tonight

i've seen it all before - time and time again
as close as i would ever dare to be
and yet without a doubt - i will disagree
the sudden truth is no surprise to me

i know there is no easy way
i've said it from the start
sometimes you've got to live the life
and feel the pain
i hear a beat inside my head
i feel it in my heart
but just the thought of it is driving me insane
it's tearing me apart

i hear a distant voice - very far away
i'm silent now - i don't know what to say
i've felt a strong desire
to set myself on fire
i don't think that would work for me today

(chorus)

i've heard that voice before
somehow, i can't imagine
it speaks words without knowing what they mean
i've seen that face before
somewhere, i can't remember
it seems as if it happened in a dream

i laughed and now you know
that some things never change
i laughed again because to me you seem
...so strange

i know i never should expect to finish something
i know will never be complete


i feel as if i'm lost again - i'm not, i'm only dreaming
in a world where sound and silence seem to meet

i block out all the noise
a silent song remains
i know it's only music, but it sounds
...so strange

how does it feel to speak the words
and sing the song?
...so strange

I asked a million questions, you looked so surprised
Forgot a million things that I had memorized
Yes but I confess,I never dreamed
I had done my best, or so it seemed

Take the time to waste a thousand years
Touch the face and wipe away the tears
Speak the truth and break the heart that bleeds
Stab the back and bite the hand that feeds

Think of things that made you cry when you were young
Realize at last your life has just begun
Think of lonely places far away
I'm sorry, but I don't know what to say to you

Take the time to waste a thousand years
Touch the face and wipe away the tears
Speak the truth and break the heart that bleeds
Stab the back and bite the hand that feeds

Close your eyes - remember me from long ago
Never say a word - no one will ever know
Think of life the way it was before
Imagine what the future has in store for you

Take the time to waste a thousand years
Touch the face and wipe away the tears
Speak the truth and break the heart that bleeds
Stab the back and bite the hand that feeds

you've never seen my face before
you will not recognize my voice
i am the perfect law to end these wicked crimes
i am a man without a past
i face a world without a future
and i've done it all at least a million times
i'm the eyes that read between the lines
i devise the rumors - and vicious lies
i do everything i can to hide the truth
but can you see it in my eyes?
i kill spies

as i walked into the room
i couldn't help but feel the tension
i can hear your thoughts - i can read your mind
i've been through this all before
by persistence - by intention
i just do my job and leave the past behind
once there was a time when i believed
anything could happen - at any time
i've been waiting for this moment all my life
and now at last - the pleasure's mine
i kill spies

this is not the end - it's just another song
it's only one opinion, right or wrong
open up your heart - just one more time for me
before we turn to face reality
don't stop to think
this perfect chance may never come again
this is not the end

let me use your ears - just for a little while
ive got to find a way to make you smile

this is not my fault, i'm not responsible
these tiny grooves can only take so much
there's only one more thing i have to say to you
so long for now, be sure to keep in touch
this is not the end
