SHADOW KING

There is another way
We can't go on like this
Now matter how it ends
This time we can't resist
He's teaching you to beg, plead & borrow,
I can see it in your eyes
It's not alright
Prisoner of love, chained in sorrow
I'll set you free tonight - and it feels like this
I can't look the other way
I can't go on like that
I can only live for today
There is no turning back

One kiss
One touch
One dream is all I need to hold onto
And I know
Tell me just once and I won't let go

What would it take
To steal your love away
Time's running out - can't wait another day
What would it take
You know what's at stake
What would it take

And when I close my eyes
It's just your face I see
I dream of how it is
And it's always you and me

In the dark
We can hide
When in your heart
You know it's only love in disguise
And you try
You can't go on living this lie

What would it take
To give you what you need
What's it gonna take - to set your heart free
What would it take
To make you believe
What would it take -
What would it take
To steal your love away
Time's running out - can't wait another day
What would it take
You know what's at stake
What would it take

One kiss
One touch
Your heart
Is all I need to hold onto
And I know
I'll never ever let go

What would it take
To win your love for me
What's it gonna take - to set your heart free
What would it take
To make you believe
What would it take -
What would it take
To steal your love away
Time's running out - can't wait another day
What would it take
You know what's at stake
So what would it take

There is another way

2. Anytime, Anywhere

---

To feel is physical
I must be one brave soul
You're nothing typical
So hard to hold
I got a history
Been a bad bad boy
Just blow a kiss to me
And I'll be your toy
Givin' you a head start
I can't think with my heart on a string
And I'll be pushin' you hard
A little love is a dangerous thing

Anytime, anywhere
Just say the word and I'll be there
Anytime, anywhere
Just say the word
Anytime, anywhere

Condition critical
Can't tell wrong from right
Got to give a little
Tonight, tonight
It's still a mystery
I feel like one lost soul
Who's watching over me
And who needs control

Givin' you a head start
You believe what you want to believe
Just keep pushin' me hard
And what you get is just what you need

Anytime, anywhere
Just say the word and I'll be there
Anytime, anywhere
Just say the word
Anytime, anywhere

I got a history
Been a bad bad boy
Just blow a kiss to me
And I'll be your toy

Anytime, anywhere
Just say the word and I'll be there
Anytime, anywhere
Just say the word
Anytime, anywhere

3. Once Upon A Time

---

A boy is born in a bed of thorns
He wears his halo hanging from his horns
City streets out of luck you lose
To get what you need
You do what you have to do
Count your blessings, count your tears
Some killing time, some killing years
Talk big, laugh loud - you better back it up
It's the bottom of the river
In the bottom of your cup

Living life in a tenement town
It'll tear you up, it'll drag you down
You've been there once
You don't want to go back
It's all been a lie
The world don't work that way

Hey, somebody's knocking
Just takin' what I need - that ain't no crime
Hey, hey somebody's knocking
Somewhere down the line
Once upon a time

Tenenment town, steeped in soul & sin
You know word gets round
They're gonna deal you in
But the one-eyed jack don't play him wrong
When the dirt goes down, you won't live long

Ain't no life in this tenement town
It'll beat you up, it'll bring you down
You've been there once, do you want to go back
It's all been a lie
The world don't work that way

Hey, somebody's knocking
Just takin' what I need - that ain't no crime
Hey, hey somebody's knocking
I've been down before, you won't see me cry
No way, hey somebody's knocking
You can take what's yours - what's mine is mine
Hey, hey sonebody's knocking
Somewhere down the line
Once upon a time

You can't go home again
You walk this world alone
Once upon a time

Ain't no life in this tenement town
It'll tear you up, it'll drag you down
You've been there once, do you want to go back
It's all been a lie
The world don't work that way

Hey, somebody's knocking
Just takin' what I need - that ain't no crime
Hey, hey somebody's knocking
I've been down before - you won't see me cry
No way, hey somebody's knocking
You can take what's yours - what's mine is mine
Hey, hey somebody's knocking
Somewhere down the line
Once upon a time

4. Don't Even Know I'm Alive

---

This heart of mine
Has believed in love a thousand times
And I still don't know
How much to say - how far to go
I can't keep on guessing
You say it all with your eyes
Would you hear - if I whispered your name
Never know - never tried

You don't even know I'm alive
Just a boy from the other side
You don't even know I'm alive

In my world I'm told
They say it takes more than love
But that leaves me cold
And I'll wait even though
It's all up to you
I can't let go

Can't keep on dreaming
Life don't treat you that way
If dreams is all I have to hold onto
They can't take that away

You don't even know I'm alive
Might be a fool - but I gotta try
You don't even know I'm alive

I need a reason - just one last time
Keep holding back - keep holding on
I've built a wall around my heart
Need a way to get over

I know I'm too deep
Feel like I'm in over my head - I gotta know her
I don't care how it's meant to be
Just draw the line and step over

You don't even know I'm alive
But I've dreamed of this a thousand times
You don't even know I'm alive

You don't even know I'm alive
Just a boy from the other side
You don't even know I'm alive

Now you know

5. Boy

---

I ain't no innocent
Never been shy
When I hurt myself
Don't pity me cause boys don't cry
You want a little love
I need it closer to the bone
I tell you here and now
I run my life as if it was my own

I can't think with my heart
I've got to throw away my toys
I guess I'll be your man
Remember this - I remain a boy

I get so cynical
I never have to try
You need to know where & when
I need to know why

Am I this man you really love
It's to the girl I made the pledge
You think I let you down
So bite your tongue
When I play along the edge

I can't think with my heart
I've got to throw away my toys
I guess I'll be your man
Remember this - I remain a boy

You're pushing me
It's still a man's world

I can't think with my heart
I'll never throw away my toys
I guess I'll be your man
I remain a boy

I can't think with my heart
I'll never throw away my toys
I guess I'll be your man
Comes down to this
I remain a boy

6. I Want You

---

Been waiting so long
Gotta do what's overdue
Gonna lay a little trap
Baby, I want you
If you wanna take a chance
Then I'm sure you will know
This ain't no fast dance
We;re gonna start slow
I want you

Tangled up in love
I never get enough
When you move with me
I like it real tough
And I just want to let you know
I'll be there in a minute
Take you over the edge
Push this thing to the limit

I want you

When you're lying all alone
The need is strong
Once is not enough
You need it all night long

I'll be at your door
I'll be there in a minute
So when you want love
Come and get it, come and get it

I want you

7. This Heart Of Stone

---

I don't care about right or wrong
Anymore
I'd rather lose the battle
To win the war
Loving you is still my destiny
Don't you know
What you mean to me
And I don't give up so easily now
Don't say that it's over

I'll follow you into your dreams
Girl you left your name on me
But mark my words
There'll come a day of reckoning

Take another piece
From this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece
You should have known
That you can't break
This heart of stone

I don't know if I can play this game
Anymore
They say that all is fair
In love and war - and I'd do
Anything - to make you see
Wouldn't hurt you girl
Like you're hurting me
But I don't give up so easily now

I know it's not over

I'll follow you into your dreams
Girl you left your name on me
But mark my words
There'll come a day of reckoning

Take another piece
From this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece
You should have known
That you can't break
This heart of stone

You feel it's jagged and strong
I've been the betrayer
And I've been betrayed
And I've been lonely too long
I know that love's just a stones
Throw away

I'll follow you into your dreams
Girl you left your name on me
But mark my words
There'll come a day of reckoning

Take another piece
From this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece
You should have known
That you can't break
This heart of stone

8. Danger In The Dance Of Love

---

I can't eat
I can't sleep
Gotta let go
Gonna cut deep
Moving in close
Oh no
I've got a little secret
That you want to keep
What you don't want
But you do need
Moving in close
So slow

Well I've been waiting for this day
And now there's only one way
I need the

Danger in the dance of love
I see it in the eyes of a stranger
Danger in the dance of love

Got no time
No I won't quit
Won't back off
I know this is it
Moving in close oh yeah

Now tell me
Do you want love
Do you want this
Do you want me
To steal one kiss
One kiss oh yeah

I have no thoughts for another
As we circle each other
I need the

Danger in the dance of love
I see it in the eyes of a stranger
Danger in the dance of love
Do you feel what I'm feeling

Danger in the dance of love
Reckless in the way that I need you
Danger in the dance of love
I'm a dream that will haunt you

I have no thoughts for another
As we circle each other
I need the

Danger in the dance of love
I see it in the eyes of a stranger
Danger in the dance of love

Danger in the dance of love
Reckless in the way that I need you
Danger in the dance of love
I'm a dream that will haunt you

9. No Man's Land

---

Maybe - I've got one tale of magic
From no man's land tonight
Some of it's tragic
But sometimes it's alright
No message of love
It's only concrete and steel
But that's not enough
Walk this road and you'll see how it feels

If that's all you want
If that's what you need
Cut me and I'll bleed
It's tearing me apart
Torturing my soul
Brings me to my knees

I'm waiting -
Waiting for changes
In this weary old world
There's a river of tears
But it won't wash away the fears

No message of love
It's only concrete and steel
But that's not enough
Walk this road and you'll see how it feels

If that's all you want
If that's what you need
Cut me and I'll bleed
It's tearing me apart
Torturing my soul
Brings me to my knees

There's a corner of my heart
That no one ever sees
In no man's land
No one touches me

No message of love
But you wait a little longer
That's not good enough
In this world you gotta be a little stronger

If that's all you want
If that's what you need
Cut me and I'll bleed
It's tearing me apart
Torturing my soul
Brings me to my knees

There's a corner of my heart
That no one ever sees
In no man's land
No one touches me

10. Russia

---

In this hour of the night
One candle I light
Before sleep takes me
And the prayer that I start
I know it by heart
Need one favor from heaven
If I must walk alone
Let the road lead me home
I know she's waiting

Fighting back frozen tears
Through the miles all the years
Don't know how I do it
It's the ghost that I feel
It's too warm, too real
But I can live through it

There's no cure I can tell
I'm still under her spell
If I walk alone
Let the road lead me home
I know she's waiting

I don't know when
I don't know how
But I'm coming home
I'll find a way
To brave the cold
And warm this lonely russian soul

Ain't no cure I can tell
I'm still under her spell
I know she's waiting for me
And I walk alone
Let the road lead me home
She's waiting
She's waiting
