When you're not by my side
The world's in two, and I'm a fool

When you're not in my sight
Then everything, just fades from view

The mystery of love belongs to you
The mystery of love belongs to you

Tell me, have you changed your mind?
Am I a fool, because of you?

Tell me, do we still have time?
To make this wrong somehow be right

The mystery of love belongs to you
The mystery of love belongs to you

Show me sweetness, show me summer skies
Show me how to make this wrong seem right
Show me laughter in your pale blue eyes
Tell me, tell me have you changed your mind?

My friends have many features
Many reasons, I can believe them
My friends have many things that
I am needing, to keep me singing

Yeah, you're a friend of mine
You're a friend of mine
Yeah, you're a friend of mine
You're a friend of mine

My friends have many mountains,
Many mountains that I can breathe in
My friends have many houses,
Many caves I can choose to live in

Yeah, you're a friend of mine
I love these friends of mine
Yeah, you're a friend for life
I love these friends of mine

My friends have many pathways,
Many roads that I can choose to take
My friends have many highways,
Where I can find my way back home again

Yeah, you're a friend of mine
I love these friends of mine
Yeah, you're a friend for life
I love these friends of mine

My friends have always been there,
To help me shape my crooked features
My friends have picked me up again,
And pushed my enemies out of the picture

Yeah, you're a friend of mine
You're a friend of mine
Yeah, you're a friend of mine
You're a friend for life

I love these friends of mine
I love these friends of mine
You're a friend of mine
I love these friends of mine

Hated by all and everywhere he goes
Blazing contempt for human life and lies
Murder as art and what he knows he knows
from life and fear in other people's eyes

RIT: Crazy love is all around me
Love is crazy love is kind
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind

She walks the boulevard without a care
Knowing too much but having come so far
Pretending life is just a game you play for nothing
Loving no-one and no-where

RIT: Crazy love is all around me
Love goes crazy given time
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind

She looks as if expecting a surprise
Maybe an encounter that will change her life
Not knowing hot from cold or good for bad
If life is just a joke or if it makes her sad

RIT: Crazy love is all around me
Love is crazy love is kind
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind

Crazy love is all around me
Love goes crazy given time
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind

Lost his own, taken down
All his songs
Till his all alone
And all our love was harmed
'cept for you

I'm only young, favourite son
Say you tried, take it back
To where you belong
And all the things you say
Still untrue

We saw the green fields
Turn into homes
Such lonely homes
We saw the green fields
Turn into homes
Such lovely homes

Do what you want to do!

I was digging up, sorting out,
Only to built a song alone
Till you came along
But all my love was there
Just all for you
And in the darkest time
We crossed the line
Made a song
Cause all the talk was wrong
And all you ever won
Can still be true

We saw the green fields
Turn into homes
Such lonely homes
We saw the green fields
Turn into stone
Such lonely homes

We saw the green fields
Turn into homes
Such lovely homes
We saw the green fields
Turn into stone
Such lonely stone

Now all my love is out
It's just for you

It's not a love song
It's the last song for you


. . .


You are my child, and now you have grown
But there are things, that you must learn
That every man, must stand alone
And family you must disown

Go home, Find your own way
Go on, Find your own way
Go home, Find your own way
Go on, Find your own way

Don't cry my child, you must know
That every man, I've ever loved
Has been a child, and fatherless
Trust in yourself it's all in you can trust

Go home, Find your own way
Go on, Find your own way
Go home, Find your own way
Go on, Find your own way

Go home, Find your own way
Go on, Find your own way
Go child, Find your own way
Go on, Find your own way

I have no time for hate or love
Hey, child, you're so full of woe
I have no time for hate or lying
Hey, child, you're no child of mine
I have no time for hate or love
Hey, child, you're so full of woe
I have no time for hate or lying
Hey, child, you're no child of mine
Hey, child, you're no child of mine
Hey, child, you're no child of mine

Before the posion
I wasn't down,
If you'd been there
If you'd been around
I couldn't hear
Couldn't hear a sound
I was floating
Above the ground

Before the poison
I'd lost my fear
Maybe too happy,
To even care
Safe in my dreams
Couldn't see the fall
Coming on, coming from nowhere
My name to call

No more to say
Nothin's coming my way
No you, no me
No more, how can it be
Nowhere to run
Out of nowhere, poison
That is the end
What's left for you, my friend

Before the poison
I'd laugh out loud
I'd see your face
In any crowd
But speak softly
Without fear
Hold on to me
Hold me near

No more to say
Nothin's coming my way
No you, no me
No more, how can it be
Nowhere to run
Out of nowhere, poison
That is the end
What's left for you, my friend?
What's left for you, my friend?
What's left for you, my friend?
What's left for you...?

There is a ghost
And it goes out
On the land
On the land
It's lifted up
It feels and flows
On many hands
On many hands

Oh, my lover
Oh, my lover
Never was there another
Where has my loverman
Gone

There is a dream
You've had before
And forgot many times
So many times

When you remember who I am
Just call
When you remember who I am
Just call
When you remember who I am
Just call
When you remember who I am

There is a tree
Its leaves have gone
For what it seem
It stands alone

Oh, my lover
Oh, my lover
Gonna, gonna find another
Where has my loverman
Gone

Away
Away
Across the land
Across the land
Across the land

It's hard to believe
In the factory
How they made you
And they made me
Made of ideas
Made to think and feel
Do you feel too much?
Do you feel too real?

You're so full of life
What do you want with mine?
How I loved you once
How I loved you twice
Did I have to pay
Such a heavy price
How I loved you more
Than my own life

Just to be
You and me
Almost real
Almost free

It's hard to believe
In the factory
How the satin feels
And the diamonds gleam
How they made our eyes
Made our hearts and minds
How they built us to
Leave it all behind

Just to be
You and me
Almost real
Almost free

Just to be
You and me
Almost real
Almost free

Desperanto spoken here,
Today I hear it everywhere,
It is the language of Despair
It's in your nails and It's in your hair
It's in your mouth instead of air
It's in your house
It's in your heart
It's in your mind
It's everywhere
It's in your heart
It's in your heart
It's in your blood
It's in your prayer
C'mon baby get over here
It's in your mouth
In your mouth
In your mouth
In your mouth
It's in your mouth instead of air
It's in your breath
It's in your blood
It's in your heart
It's in your blood
It's in your heart
It's everywhere

Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby now

I know baby you don't care
To speak in Desperanto here
And I know you'd never dare
To speak the language of despair
C'mon baby get over here
C'mon baby get over here
It's in your mouth
It's in your hair
It's in your tiny little prayer
It's in your tiny little prayer
It's in your tiny little prayer
C'mon baby get over here
C'mon baby get over here
It's in your heart
It's in your heart
It's in your heart
It's everywhere

Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby now

The Desperanto they are broken here
Broken darlin' by Despair
The rain it speaks
The wind the air
Today I hear it everywhere
It's in your tiny little prayer
It's in your tiny little prayer
It's in your breath
It's in your tears
This has been going on for years
It's in your mouth
In your mouth
In your mouth
In your mouth
C'mon baby get over here
It's in your mouth
It's in your mouth
It's in your blood
It's everywhere
It's in your mouth
It's in your mouth
In your blood
It's everywhere
It's in your mouth
In your mouth, and

Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby now

Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby now

Charming, someone to fear
Handsome, very much here
Evil, dancing through fire
Whore of Babylon, world famous clear

...Something to charm
Danger, someone to harm
Falling into the mire
Climbing - higher and higher

...Someone to fear
Handsome, very much here
Evil, dancing through fire
Whore of Babylon, world famous clear

...Ivory tower
Longing, for something now
Waiting, hour after hour
Give me some of your power

Citadel, a prison of sorts
Only the rich make the laws
Using repression and force
Whore of Babylon, city of Quartz

...Someone to fear
Hidden, and very much here
Hatred summoned so near
Whore of Babylon, world famous clear
