and if I remember
yeah if I do remember rightly
I said the tables would be turned around boy

tell me, tell me how does it feel
it feels so good from where I'm standing

the only times in my life
the sun was meant to shine for me
you made it pour down, pour down with tears of rain

dug my pride with a knife
encaged by your obsession with me
time for some mental torture and screams of justified pain

so ya gonna chase me now boy
yeah ya gonna corner me now boy
you think ya gonna threaten me now boy
somehow I don't think so

yeah ya gonna stamp me down now boy

when my body wants to go
tell me will my mind and soul
live on and on forever
am I on another level
a learning vessel of several
lessons to make me more cleverer

my sweet little religion
my sweet little religion
you mean everything to me
my sweet little religion
my sweet little religion
how does it feel

written in that book of love
now does it say your name above
the name by which they call me
and is it written in liquid red
cuz nothing else will do instead for reassuring eternity

will you be there when I need you?
x4

my sweet little religion
my sweet little religion

x2

x2

quiet now in sleepy dreams
to me it seems the only time to be, just me
bombarded by the phone, in my own home
can't get the space that I need, and how I need it

oh me, oh my
oh me, me, me, me, oh my
oh when I look, when I look at my life
oh me, oh my
when I look at my life

crowded by the city, all around me
need some silence from the loud and noisy crowds
and I'm trying to catch a breath, through the air of death
can't see the sun for the clouds, those dirty clouds

and the night has no compassion for your actions
when you're trying to get away from the hard day
and I need someone to talk to apart from you
but I guess that's just the way, come what may

oh me, oh my
oh me, me, me, me, oh my
oh when I look, when I look at my life
oh me, oh my
when I look at my life

god
are you there
are you out there
if so where are you hiding?
I'm having trouble finding you

oh me, oh my
oh me, me, me, me, oh my
oh when I look, when I look at my life
oh me, oh my
when I look at my life

god
are you there
are you out there
if so where are you hiding?
I'm having trouble finding you

Rain drain my play away
Sun gun me down and burn me
Nature hates me today
My head distorts reality

Madness just moved into my shadow

Shine - i will not cry and i will not die no
Shine - i will be there for me
Shine - i will not cry and i will be mine
I'll shine - shine

Who waltzed me into this
And i now stuck here forever
Luck just gave me a kiss
Then lashed me down with a leather strap

Trying to learn to swim without any water

Trying just to begin just when youre in for the slaughter

Shine - i will not cry and i will not die no
Shine - i will be there for me
Shine - ill be just fine if i stay all mine
I'll shine - shine,

You will love me as a winner

Why?

oh you, you come to me
so perfectly yeah
so perfectly made

and you're all that you are
and you're all that you said
you're so exquisitely bred
oh baby what more can I say

so, yeah, yeah,
I guess it's all right
yeah, no no
I guess it's alright whatever
yeah no
I guess it's alright
yeah no
I guess it's alright whatever

and I, I hate ya for
for letting me fall for you
just like a fool

and now I'm all psyching out
mm 'cuz all we're about
is this ugly phone and it's all I have
to look forward to, yeah.

so, yeah, yeah,
I guess it's all right
yeah, no no
I guess it's alright whatever
yeah no
I guess it's alright
yeah no
I guess it's alright whatever

dreaming, of you lying in my bed
just like how we were just days before
oh just leave me, just get out of my head
I can't take this torture any more

you're so far away, yeah
why are you so far away
from me.

so, yeah, yeah,
I guess it's all right
yeah, no no
I guess it's alright whatever
yeah no
I guess it's alright
yeah no
I guess it's alright whatever

This is an obsession, a kind of agression with himself
It’s the way hell always be
He loves to rebel to go against his ten commandments
For him, thats just being free.

And he always will, get his thrills, the only way he knows how
Well it might make you frown
But he loves, being that dove, roaming where he cares to go
To a state of mind that no-one knows

Over there stands my angry angel
And she’s shaking her head, in disgrace with me
Yeah over there stands my angry angel
And she’s frowning like hell, but I’m not feeling guilty

Over and over again, more and more for the pain
To release himself, from this shell
Time after time, you may glare at
Him for the way he looks like something drawn up from hell

But that’s just his cover
From what is under it
All his imagination, his
Passion for a creation
Which he has discovered,
Uncovered a world, of
Amazing sensations
His own little nation

I don’t care,
I’m flying

I am alone, surrounded by
The colour blue
Inside a poem, the only
Words I ever knew
Washing my hands, of the
Many years untold
For now I am banned, my
Future is to unfold

Would you take my
Candlelight
Would you take my
Candlelight
Would you take
My candlelight
Away from me

I am blind
My eyes
Are
Covered
From
The
Outside
For I have lied, now all
There is left for me
To do is hide
Take in a deep
Breath, I lift
My head
For I am a new man
And I arise from my bed

This is all there is, I can see that now
I have to be careful with it, now it’s been found
So fragile, but powerful, this is the light
Of my destiny stay with me, through every night

I am here again
Tied up in your torture frame
Printed paper, guilty to blame
The story stays the same

Dry me out
Run me down
Burn me out
And rake it in, you rake it in
Rake it in, you rake it in, yeah

A slave upon your plate
I am your dreams, yeah your life and your bait
Selfish schemes, i proceed, you await
You my indefinite hate

Do you know what my chopping blocks for?
Do you know what my hanging braids for?
Do you know what my chamber maids for?
Can you guess what i, what i have in store for you?

It's dark in here
And visions are flashing into my head as I reminisce
My re-occuring dream
And you said
"I'm falling, falling for you Babe,
And my feelings are getting stronger
So why don't you stay with me for a, for a little longer?"

Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,

I know that my face
Is only too familiar to your sleep
I can see it in you eyes
And I can tell by your body
Why are you taking so long
Do you need me to come and find you, honey?
To set your mind at rest
And let your dreams run free

Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,

You know I'm no stranger in a dream
You know, I'm no stranger in a dream

Oh but I'm craving and counting
I'm begging and pleading
Be mine tonight, oh yeah
Well I'm waiting and dying
I'm wanting and waiting
To show you how much I care

Where I'll be touching and holding
Caressing and giving you
Every fantasy, yeah

I'll get you dreaming and lusting
And burning and crying
For more of this ecstacy, oh yeah

Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,
Come here boy,

You know, you know
I'm no stranger in your dreams

I am a mirror, with no reflection
I am a razor, without my blade
I am the daylight when the moons shines no
who will want to make my sandcastle that's already made

I feel so useless, do you

speak to an ear deaf to my voice
look through your fear, you're still blind to my way
I reach to hold you, but I don't feel you there, do you
even I realise I'm here am I just wasting away?
no wasting away
living, inside you play

I feel so useless, do you
x2

my dying prayer, sealed in a scream
unwelcome care, and a conscious dream
I am your whore, without a name
I climb to fall, to begin again, to begin again

I am an arrow, with no direction
my life your tarot, and my picture your fate
I'm your becoming, so I'll always be nothing
if I ever break away from you that day forth,
you'll be living
my hate

oh god help his fate
I'll watch you, watch you suffocate

I feel so useless, do you
x4

How can it feel so nice?
Why does it feel so right?
I think ive been somewhere special
I want to go back there

Sleep
I think i will
Go back to sleep

Oh it's so cold and shivery outside my cocoon
Now i'm on my way

Sleep
Oh sleep
Sleep

Drifting through the atmosphere
And up on into space
Leave behind the morning city
In it's special place

Some flutterbies they enter and they
Play around in my soul
And once again part of me
Fills up to be whole

Da da day
Flying in my aeroplane.

Peaceful colours everywhere
Purples and deep blues
Feeling so at home here oh
As if up here i grew

It's so beautiful up here now,
Oh I think I might just stay
All alone and by myself
So free and far away

Da da day
Flying with my aeroplane

I can see heaven
Heaven down below
I look at heaven
And an angel who I know
I can see heaven
Heaven down below

Da da day
Flying with my aeroplane

Just happy to be me again.

oh you, you come to me
so perfectly yeah
so perfectly made

and you're all that you are
and you're all that you said
you're so exquisitely bred
oh baby what more can I say

so, yeah, yeah,
I guess it's all right
yeah, no no
I guess it's alright whatever
yeah no
I guess it's alright
yeah no
I guess it's alright whatever

and I, I hate ya for
for letting me fall for you
just like a fool

Can you tell me why am I feeling?
Can you tell me why am I feeling?

Tonight I am myself again
I am one as whole
I realise that I'm like this
When I look into my soul
I see a confused vessel there
Sitting even though I'm not
Under the influence of any
Substance for a shot
No substance for a shot
No substance for a shot
Yeah

Can you tell me why am I feeling
As I were floating in space again yeah
Can you tell me why am I seeing life in a blur
I don't feel, I don't feel normal friend will it even end?

All I have to do to get me into this state
Is to just be left alone
And even then it's far too late

My mind begins to wonder
Travel far and beyond
The barriers of human thought
Yeah they break here before too long
Yeah they break here before too long
Yeah they break here before too long

Can you tell me why am I feeling
As I were floating in space again
Yeah
Can you tell me why am I seeing life in a blur
I don't feel - I don't feel normal friend will it even end?

I start thinking overloading
My thought capacity
My vision take em somewhere
Now at great velocity
I can't get out of this I'm caught
Please interrupt
Imagination runs away from me
Is it normal to be corrupt

Can you tell me why am I feeling
As I were floating in space again yeah
Can you tell me why am I seeing life in a blur
I don't feel, I don't feel normal friend will it even end?

Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?

Music is my sanctuary,
Music is my blanket.

Emotionless this city lies,
Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes.
The dark, the dark,
Shades on my day.
I live inside this place.

Locked up inside my metal cage,
Always tense and filled with rage.
Above the concrete fields below,
With you I wanna go, wanna go.

Music is my sanctuary,
Music is my blanket.

I see only what I wanna see,
I'll be only what I wanna be.
My blanket covers me, yeah.

Now as a human I was bored,
And pumping, breaking on the lino.
Traded in my lino for a,
Pad and a biro.
Used to stand in line,
Just so I could sign my gyro.
But now my ends are meet,
I did the best way that I know.
T-Tsk and the beats that go boom,
See the music I consume,
To escape the doom and gloom.
All the beats and melodies,
That keep realities at bay.
But what happen when the records,
On the start to fade away, fade away.

Alone within myself again,
I try to veil away my pain.
The dirty grey surrounding me 'round,
And now I hear no sound.

I feel like Nelly Nell,
From way back in the days.
As I wonder,
How I keep from going under.
I got trouble on my mind,
Like my name was Chuck D.
And like Marvin Gaye,
It makes me wanna holler.
But when the music hits me,
I feel no pain.
That's why I got to put you on,
Again, and again.
I take the needle off the technics,
And put it in my vein.
All my troubles get crushed,
As the rush hits my brain.
And away it goes,
Trouble down the drain.

I see only what I wanna see,
I'll be only who I wanna be.
My blanket covers me, yeah.

Music is my sanctuary,
Music is my blanket.

I see only what I wanna see,
I'll be only who I wanna be.
My blanket covers me, yeah.

Music is my sanctuary,
Music is my blanket.

You are my living world.
You are my living world.
You are, you are, you are my,
My only living world.

A figure dressed in the finest attire
That money can buy
Laden with assets to make an impression
On a stranger's eye

And he lives in a palace
Surrounded by roses in a perfect picture
He's in deep with the shallow
He's fading cause he can't see the sky

Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
I'm so happy that i could sing, yeah
Nobody, you're kidding nobody
Nobody but you

A dinner with twenty people you hate
And they're hating you more
Talking politely, it's all a show
Tell me what is it for?

And your laugh is tale-telling
They follow but you know you're not a funny man
The truth is the meaning
And your life is that you wouldn't have one
If you were poor

Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
I'm so happy that i could sing, yeah
Nobody, you're kidding nobody
Nobody but you

Yeah. . .
Such a shame, sir
Such a shame
Such a shame

Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything, yeah
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
I'm so happy that i could sing, yeah
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody but yourself X5
Nobody. . .

Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
I'm so happy that i could sing
Nobody, kidding nobody
Nobody but you
Nobody, kidding nobody
Nobody but you
Nobody, you're kidding nobody
Nobody but you
