One touch, taste
The thrill so great
My flesh, breath
Forbidden fruit you waste

They say I'm pure
Naive and such a bore
But now you know
The truth told
I'm gonna give it away

Clip my wings this
Angel's falling down, yeah
It's sick, sick, sick, and wrong
Let's go, let's feel
Let's fuck around, yeah
It's sick, sick, sick, and wrong

Your guilt, it never tires
It wants to bring down babylon
Your want, desire
Your urge is way too strong

It's never safe
When we're together
A supernova when we collide
I start to shake
I start to tremble
I lose control when
I come inside

Clip my wings this
Angel's falling down, yeah
It's sick, sick, sick, and wrong
Let's go, let's feel
Let's fuck around, yeah
It's sick, sick, sick, and wrong

Like the devil, get it up
I wanna feel it
All the way, all the way
Let's go, let's feel
Let's fuck around, yeah

Let go if you want it
If you need it
It'll be alright
Oh let's forgive them
Come on and give in
Fall to love
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Clip my wings this
Angel's falling down, yeah
It's sick, sick, sick, and wrong
Let's go, let's feel
Let's fuck around, yeah
It's sick, sick, sick, and wrong

Like the devil, get it up
I wanna feel it
All the way, all the way
Let's go, let's feel
Let's fuck around, yeah
It's sick, sick, sick, and wrong

Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go

A loose cannon can't you tell
You're gonna get a lesson
He'll learn you well
Back off and stay away from him
Outside you're going down
And how ya gonna feel
When you hit the ground?
The bad seed is at it again

The boy is so defiant
Angry young lion
With too much
Hatred from the past
All his aggression
It isn't helping
Him become a man

Na na na na na na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah and it might
Take a little
Bit to get used to
But he'll stay broken

Out back behind the shed
That's where his daddy
Taught him to hate the best
The education of the heavy hand
The blows were handed down
And it never did much good
For him to cry out loud
The fragile child
Never stood a chance

The boy is so defiant
Angry young lion
With too much
Hatred from the past
All his aggression
It isn't helping
Him become a man

Na na na na na na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah and it might
Take a little
Bit to get used to
But he'll stay broken

Hey just remember this
The anger's not a curse
It's the greatest gift

Loose cannon can't you tell
Loose cannon can't you tell
Back off
Back off from me

Na na na na na na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah and it might
Take a little
Bit to get used to
But he'll stay broken

Na na na na na na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah and it might
Take a little
Bit to get used to
But he'll stay broken
He'll stay broken
Broken

I saw her in an empty bar
The smell of wine
And cheap cigars
Trigger visions of
Her face to this day
We tried to dance
For years to come
But two can't lead
And waltz as one
We loved and learned
And learned to love
But it was not enough
Foolish pride got in our way

She could take my heart and soul
She could take my hand to hold
But why'd she have to
Take advantage of me
I tried to pay for all the things
She could want or ever need
Don't make me pay
For all the past please

So now we're living far apart
I hope to god our
Paths don't cross
This may seem shallow
But her beauty makes me weak
I long to hold her once again
And reconcile and then give in
To realize that later on
We made the same mistake
Hold on to the lessons
You've learned

She could take my heart and soul
She could take my hand to hold
But why'd she have to
Take advantage of me
I tried to pay for all the things
She could want or ever need
Don't make me pay
For all the past

So much to tow
Bogged down with all
The history to hold
The blame fell hard on me
Apologies were too short lived
She never really
Could forgive mistakes

She could take my heart and soul
She could take my hand to hold
But why'd she have to
Take advantage of me?
(She took my heart)
I tried to pay for all the things
She could want or ever need
Don't make me pay
For all the past

She took my heart
She took my soul
(She took my heart)
She took my fragile hand to hold
(She took my soul)
She took advantage all the time
(She took advantage all the time)
I'll take her back cause
Her love makes me blind
(Me blind, me blind, me blind)

. . .


Lyla in bloom
Her innocence and
Youth stripped away
Eighteen years old
But she's lived the
Life of sixty-eight
The heartache of a mother gone
And father she's never known
So she dreams of
A better place

Scared and alone
Turning tricks and
Getting stoned to survive
Vegas sex queen
Living in a world that's
So obscene in a dead end life
At the end of every tragic day
She says this to herself
If i can hold on i know

When I find my wings
I'll fly away
Over the mountains
Over the pain
And I won't look back
Cause I've gotta
Get away from here
I've gotta get away from here

When I find my wings
I'll fly away
Over the mountains
Over the pain
And I won't look back
When I find my wings
I'll fly away
And I'll never, never
Never look back
Cause I've gotta
Get away from here
I've gotta get away from here
I've gotta get away from here

. . .


Farewell, goodbye
God knows we tried
Our union so unsure
Could never endure

So we turn the page
And say goodbye
And walk away
Form everything
That we worked
So hard to save

Brought down by our storm
Our return is no more

But we were so lost in love
That we never found resolve

So we turn the page
And say goodbye
And walk away
Form everything
That we worked
So hard to save

I don't want to
Start all over
And try and find
Another shoulder
To lean on 'cause
Yours makes me feel safe

And now you're moving on
You're such a blessing
And please stay strong
For what it's worth
I'm wishing you the best

So we turn the page
And say goodbye
And walk away
Form everything
That we worked
So hard to save

I don't want to
Start all over
And try and find
Another shoulder
To lean on 'cause
Yours makes me feel safe

So we turn the page
And say goodbye
And walk away
Form everything
That we worked
So hard to save

I don't want to
Start all over
And try and find
Another shoulder
To lean on 'cause
Yours makes me feel safe

Yours makes me feel safe
'Cause yours make me feel safe
I'm wishing you the best

. . .


Long open road
In the distance
I see you wait for me
You're my hope and my relief
Saving grace remove
These rusted chains

Waited so long
To be kissed by lips of god
I'm getting close
Around the bend is solace
Home, the sweetest place
I'll be redeemed
I will be safe

High so very high
And I feel ok
Nothing's in the way
So hold on
I'm taking off
I'm gonna fly

Yesterday's gone
Take a look for
One last time
My stomach turns at the
Thought of that dark world
I won't go back
I'm pushing forward
And it's good

High so very high
And I feel ok
Nothings in the way
So hold on
(I'm holding on again
In liberation)
I'm taking off
I'm gonna fly

High so very high
(I'm flying high again
In liberation)
And I feel ok
Nothings in the way
So hold on
(I'm holding on again
In liberation)
I'm taking off
I'm gonna fly

High so very high
And I feel ok
Nothings in the way
So hold on
I'm taking off
I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fly

He walked outside her
World the other day
She knew that he
Would leave eventually
Like the rest he
Promised everything
She's heard it all before
They never stay

Let your heart beat idle
So that it can never break
And carry on, carry on
So you never have to hurt again
Cause walking as a loner is
Walking with the dead
So carry on, carry on my friend

Wipe away the tears
And don't you cry
It hurts like hell right now
But give it time
May this lesson learned
Be your best
Loves not worth the risk
And don't forget

Let your heart beat idle
So that it can never break
And carry on, carry on
So you never have to hurt again
Cause walking as a loner is
Like walking with the dead
But carry on, carry on my friend

Let your heart beat idle
So that it can never break
And carry on, carry on
So you never have to hurt again
Cause walking as a loner is
Like walking with the dead
But carry on, carry on my friend

Carry on...carry on
Carry on...carry on
Carry on...carry on
I don't ever wanna
Hurt like that again

. . .


Nothing's good enough
You gave the moon
And the stars above
To the queen of pain
Now you've gotta know
She'll take you down
Just like before
So don't go back there again

Your head may want it
But your soul will break

You can't get enough
(Don't go back you'll be better off)
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you don't need her love)
And don't you backslide stay away

It kills you all the time
Her disease may take a while
To heal and find some relief
There's no rememdy
To push away that entity
That tempts you when you're weak

Stay strong, don't give in
Hold steady, don't shake

You can't get enough
(Don't go back you'll be better off)
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you don't need her love)
And don't you backslide stay away

-Solo-

You can't get enough
(Don't go back you'll be better off)
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you don't need her love)
And don't you backslide stay away

You can't get enough
(Don't go back you'll be better off)
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you don't need her love)
And don't you backslide stay away
Just stay away

. . .


My guard fell for you today
Now I will surrender
Take this prisoner
Make him something better
Reach down and pull me up
Don't let your captive go
Cause love's wounds have made
Me weak can't stand up on my own

Cause you bring me to my knees
For you i'd do anything
White flag flies above
This is what i've chosen
I'll change anything now
That my pride is broken

Cause you bring me to my knees
For you I'd do anything

The grace you give will always fill me up
And i'll savor every bit of that fortune
But if in time this love turns to dust
I pray i don't endure that torture

Cause you bring me to my knees
For you i'd do anything
Can you show me how to feel again
I'll do anything you need my friend
And together we will always span time
For you I'd do anything....

. . .


Wide awake it's six a.m.
And you've got heavy eyes
From heavy burdens
Of a loss so loud
You never sleep
And you ask the gods
For their mercy

Let it go, let it fade
Cause you're stronger now
That you've endured the pain
Let it go, let it fade
Don't run away

Looking up from below
Afraid you'll suffocate
In the undertow
And you're desperate
As you've ever been
So be careful now and
Don't you start caving in

Let it go, let it fade
Cause you're stronger now
That you've endured the pain
Let it go, let it fade
Don't you run away
Don't you run away

Damn this situation
Your hero is a bottle
And a line salvation
The world stripped
Your callous skin
And you're fucked up
All the time
Worn heart
Weak and tender
Is bruised and bleeds
And you wanna surrender
That's no excuse for you
To go run away and hide

Damn this situation
Get off your fucking ass
If you wanna save it
Or sit and rot away if you
Don't want to survive

Let it go, let it fade
Cause you're stronger now
That you've endured the pain
Let it go, let it fade
Don't you run away
Don't you run away, no

Don't you run away
Don't you run away

. . .


I believe in grace
That god redeems and saves
Someday I'll thank
Him for it all
I believe this life
Is a gift you can't deny
Even though this world
Can be so harsh

It's so hard
To believe in love
It's so hard
To believe in love
(La, la, la-la, la)
(La, la, la-la, la)
(La, la, la-la, la)
I believe getting close
Is a danger to broken souls
The risk is never worth the gain

It's so hard
To believe in love
It's so hard
To believe in love
(La, la, la-la, la)
(La, la, la-la, la)
(La, la, la-la, la)

I believe that the pain
May never go away
Someday I hope
You'll understand

It's so hard
To believe in love
It's so hard
After all I've endured
From your cruel selfish world
It's so hard to believe
I don't believe in love
(La, la, la-la, la)
(La, la, la-la, la)
(La, la, la-la, la)
And I don't believe in love

-Solo-

Flowers placed
At the foot of the grave
Of the one we lost forever
Jesus please
Let her soul rest in peace
And make way
A new angel's in heaven

Summergirl went away
Everything has been dying
Summergirl went away
And the sun doesn't shine

All alone
In the house we called home
And the walls still
Echo of her laughter
We'd dream of a world
Far away we'll never know
Since she left
I don't dream anymore...

Summergirl went away
Everything has been dying
Summergirl went away
And the sun doesn't shine

Summergirl went away
Everything has been dying
Summergirl went away
And the sun doesn't shine

No the sun don't shine nomore
Ever since you went away
