    1. Fly High

      See straight, stay owake, live a troubled life
      Certified useless
      A lost cause, just a waste, stupid
      A bit of heat for a cold girl, me
      Satellite, satellite, yes
      I'm looking out for a new way of life

      Did you know ? Who you're making trouble with, me
      Me, me, me

    Fly high
    Don't let me neor you
    Fly high
    I want to see you

      Listen !
      Blue eyes, paralyse
      Its a struggle girl, keep away from me
      Bad taste, below the waist
      1 wont to take you from behind, oh yeah
      What a life, what a life
      Living hard, getting harder

      Did you know? Who you're making trouble with, me I Did you know? What I wanna struggle with
      Me, me, me

    Fly high
    Don't let me near you
    Fly high
    1 want to see you
    Fly high
    Put your hands over your eyes
    See me in your mind
    Fly high 11 wanna fear you
    Sentence me to life III Let me love again, help me breathe life
    Watch me tall down on my knees
    Sheltered from the rain, help you get dry
    Wishing you'd become, mine

      Let me love again, help me breathe life
      Watch me fall down on my knees
      Sheltered from the rain, help you get dry
      Wishing you'd become, mine

    Fly high
    Wishing you'd become mine

    Fly high
    Wishing you'd become mine

    Fly high
    Wishing you'd become mine

    2. Taking Time

      I'm taking time getting over it
      Burying my heod in the sand
      Losing faith in reality
      First hand

      Staying calm through the crisis
      Staring my fears in the toce
      Living life in overdrive, always
      I'll never change

      Your words are so colourful
      I'm block and blue
      I'm falling into

    Taking my time
    Staying in control
    Trying hard to figure out
    What It's all for
    I'm caught in two minds
    And lonely as hell
    Losing all patience
    I know it too well
    If only I'd listened to my friends
    I wish I could just run away
    This fall from grace is too much
    I'm stranded alone
    Carrying a weight
    Talking to myselt
    Don't know whafs worse
    Been frozen out, it's cold in hell
    Yet here I am making peace with the devil

      Blistered down to my fingers
      Working my life to the bone
      So stressed out, I can hardly sleep
      Alone, I'm so alone

      Your eyes of steel
      Just make me feel
      So cold inside
      You lied to me

    I'm taking my time
    Staying in control
    Trying hard to figure out
    What it's all for ...

      I must be crazy in the head
      Jo, believe the things you told me
      I knew that they were lies
      But convinced myself that some how you and I
      Could find a way

    Taking my time (taking my time)
    Staying in control (staying in control)
    Trying hard to figure out
    What it's all for (what it's all for)
    I'm caught in two minds
    And lonely as hell
    Losing all patience
    I know it too well (know it too well)
    It only I'd listened to my friends
    I wish I could just run away
    This fall from grace is too much
    I'm stranded alone (stranded alone)
    Carrying a weight
    Talking to myselt
    Don't know whafs worse
    Been frozen out, it's cold in hell
    And hear I am making peace with the devil (peace with the devil)

      Woe to you oh earth and sea, for the devil sends the beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short, let him who hath understanding reckon the number at the beast, for it is a human number, its number is 666 (Revelation Ch.XIII V.18)

    3. She

      You said you're getting over me
      But I have to know
      I have to know it's over
      Cause maybe I'm not over you and I have to go
      I have to find another
      And lady when I'm over you
      Then you'll have to know
      You'll have to know I'm over you
      Something I've been needing to
      Be alone with you
      Don't tell me that it's over, no

    I Feel Alive
    Feel Alive, I don't know
    I Feel a Light, Feel a Light coming on
    I feel Alive, Oh no

    You said you were getting over me
    But I hove to know
    I have to know it's over
    Cause maybe I'm not over you ond I have to go
    I have to find another
    And lady when I'm over you
    Then you'll have to know
    Have to know I'm over you
    Something I've been needing to
    Be alone with you
    Don't tell me that it's over, no

    She only feels for me

    She only sees for me
    She only feels for me
    She only sees for me
    She only breathes for me
    She only lives for me


    You said you're getting over me
    But I have to know
    1 have to know it's over
    Cause maybe I'm not over you and I have to go
    1 have to find another
    And lady when I'm over you

    Don't tell me that it's over, No

    She
    You said your getting over me

    (repeated)

    4. Lemon Yellow Sun

      Forget me !
      That's what you said
      For me it was a summer that I'll never forget
      The best way
      To believe in the fate
      It brought us both together
      And I know it will again
      It's more than just a moment in time
      No question in my mind III The spirit never lies
      However hard you try
      1 could see your tears
      In the lemon Yellow Sun
      A picture of your face
      Etched on my mind
      There's No use trying to hide your feelings

      Forgive me
      For telling you straight
      I'm not about to turn around
      And just walk away
      The best things
      Come to those who wait
      i'il hold on for deor life
      No matter how long it tokes
      It's only just a question of lime
      There's no doubt in my mind

    The spirit never lies
    However hard you try
    1 could see your tears
    In the Lemon Yellow Sun
    A picture of your face
    Etched on my mind
    No use trying to hide your feelings

      I carry a secret I've no one to tell I There's something that I've needed to say tarewell lo
      Follow your instincts
      Listen 10 your soul
      There's no one else who knows
      No one else who truly knows

      Forget me that's what you said ,' Forgive me but I can't target
      It's only just a matter of time
      No question in my mind

    The spirit never lies
    However hard you try
    1 could see your tears
    In the Lemon Yellow Sun
    A picture of your face
    Etched on my mind
    No use trying to hide your feelings

    So tell me if I'm wrong
    And thdt I'm not the one
    Who made you feel olive
    In the lemon yellow sun
    I know what you're dreaming of
    1 know what you're feeling
    1 don't wanna stop myself believing
    Believing

    5. Wake Up Your Mind

      There are promises you could not keep
      You didn't even try
      And that's no way
      To live your lite
      Something's hidden in your past I Preacher pray tor me
      It's gonna be black again some day
      All of the lies you're sending
      How many times can you break me? I Until I turn it around

    You're wasting time, what, are you looking for
    Wake Up You Mind

      Empty moments that you shared with me
      A worthless life

      Watch the curtain finally falling down
      Is your life a circus ?
      Did you send me the clown ?

    Wake Up Your Mind ...

      Love, Peoce, War, Hate, Wards
      No, they mean nothing to me

      Love. Peace, War, Hate, Words No, they medn nothing to me

    6. Sick And Tired

      I used to think It would never end
      Eternally, forever and a day, infinite, always
      Nothing could be better than a life atone with you

      The funny thing is a piece of me
      The sceptic who is waiting for the day to prove me wrong again
      You're wrong again!
      Should hove known better than to leave myself open

      The fool is a victim
      Sitting in the corner of a room somewhere with pictures in pieces
      Scattered all around

      The conversation is about life
      How so many things come and go with no rhyme or reason
      Seems the best ones, come to those who wait

    I'm sick and tired of waiting
    Wasting so much time when you don't want me to hold on
    It's messing up my mind
    I'm not expired or broken
    There's still so much inside
    And yes I listened, you told me
    Every word a lie

      I really hope that it works out
      I wouldn't wish any harm to find you
      Everything is destiny
      Whether I like it or not • I don't
      I'll find foith in my own way
      Part of me will alwoys wonder what you're thinking
      Who you dream of
      Want and are in need of

    I'm sick and tired of waiting ...

      Sick and tired
      It's all excuses
      Every word you tell me
      Seems to disappear without trace
      I'm alive don't you see it
      Every word is nothing but a lie to me I know it so well

      I don't think that you could ever leave me
      I know you're rightfully the one tor me I 'cause everything is destiny !
      The ride is last but I hold tight
      I raise my dukes and prepare for a new tight
      Not what is right but what is wrong
      I feel the winds of the storm but I carry on
      While you're torn, I'm born
      You think in lies this is no fun
      But look inside and you'll see there's a new sun !

    I'm sick and tired of waiting
    Waiting
    Wasting so much time when you don't want me to hold on
    What is right for what is wrong
    It's messing up my mind
    It's Messing up my mind
    I'm not expired or broken
    While you're torn, I'm born
    There's still so much inside
    And yes I listened, listening, you told me
    Every word a lie
    Hearing all your lies

    7. Constantly Reminded

      I've been thinking a lot these days
      And trying to make it work between us
      I sense you slowly moving away
      Not taking me with you
      If all the years amount to nothing
      With the future so unclear
      Is this what it was all tor?
      Do you want me to leave here? Ill I'm done with waking up alone
      And tired of being cast aside
      Still hurling from your promises
      The ones y«u couldn't keep and didn't try to
      And maybe I trusted you too much
      I'd like to lake it all back now
      Start over again
      Having learned from my mistake

    Constantly reminded of you
    Everywhere I look I see your foce
    It's painted on my mind
    I'm sfill lonely
    And constantly reminded of you
    I just had to let you know

      You're all that I wanted
      I'm not lying to myself
      I'm entrusting somebody else
      To make it ok
      I want to be there with you
      I want to hold onto you
      Will you stay with me tonight ?

    Constantly reminded of you
    Everywhere I look I see your face
    It's painted on my mind
    I'm still lonely
    And constantly reminded of you
    I just had to let you know

      I live in fear, constantly
      I never know why
      I don't even know me
      I'm a shadow of myself
      To be here, constantly
      Following me
      I'm gonna make it out

    Constantly reminded of you
    Everywhere I look I see your face
    It's painted on my mind
    I'm still lonely
    Constantly reminded of you
    I just had to lei you know
    Constantly reminded ol you
    You're painted on my mind
    Constantly reminded of you
    I just had to let you know

      A fading photograph
      The one I thought was mine
      You're always there, always there
      Are you there ?

    8. Show Me The Way

      It was all or nothing
      This much I know
      A chance I had to take
      My instincts I followed
      And if I do regret it
      It's just a lesson learned
      Could you stay another day ?

      It's all a blessing
      I should tell myself
      It's all for a reason
      And only a cry for help
      And maybe next time
      I'll find a different way
      To stay another day

    Just show me the way
    Show me the way
    Show me the way
    Show me the way
    Show me the way
    Show me the way

      How long, how long
      Is there time enough to change it?
      How long, how long
      Will I know when I have found if?
      Stay in my life
      Teach me how to find my way
      Stay here, all eyes
      Are upon you hoping
      Would you help me ?

    Just show me the way
    Show me the way
    Show me the way
    Show me the way
    Show me the woy
    Show me the way

      I feel you close to me at night
      I always know that you are there
      There is a part of me that walks alone
      Until I see you again

      I'm not taking the easy way out
      Taking the easy way out
      I'm not taking the easy way out
      Of here, of here, of here

    9. Fame

      Hello, my name is Maria, I am 22 Years old. my hobbies are dancing and singing, my ambition is to help people who are less fortunate than myself and to make a shit load ot cash

      Nothing ever comes easy in this life
      You never know what they're really thinking
      Try hard to pretend its ok
      You get down and you just end up drinking
      And so you look to the Gods for help
      And try to make sense from if all
      Just breathe easy and believe me
      Nothing worthwhile ever comes easy
      You're in the machine now

    Fame, fame the people know your name
    It isn't all that it's cracked up to be
    I'll say it again
    Fame, fame welcome to the machine
    You got exactly what they wanted for you

      You see all these talentless fuckers on TV
      And a judge with suit from Armani
      Sits back with his words of wisdom
      As the TV ratings go through the ceiling
      And all the people at home with their shallow lives
      Looking to be part of something
      Just entertain me nice and easy
      Òîêå my extremely dull life and free me
      I'm living (he dream

    Fame, fame the people know your name
    It isn't all that it's cracked up to be
    I'll say it again
    Fame, fame welcome to the machine
    You got exactly what they wanted for you

      I know there's no point in saying this
      It's moybe even a little bit dangerous
      Be aware that the share holders own you
      They can bounce you around if they want to
      It's good that they fight tor survival
      At least until there's a Beatles revival
      Looks like those days have gone
      It the numbers don"! add up
      It must be wrong

    RIGHT? QUITE RIGHT!

      Oh my God thank you tor making my dream a reality, thank you so much, thank you, I'm so happy

    Fame, fame the people know your name
    It isn't all that it's cracked up to be
    I'll soy it again
    Fame, fame welcome to the machine
    You got exactly what they wanted for you

    Fame, fame
    Fame, fame
    Fame, fame welcome to the machine
    You got exactly what they wanted for you

      I'm so happy thank you, you guys are great

    10. Some Of All My Fears

      Can you erase such deep emotion ?
      Should we extract the hand of peace ?
      Hide in shelters with blank faces
      Fill the hole ond lay the wreath
      Do we belong in the same surroundings ?
      Fuelled by guilt and bate and greed
      Does anybody have the answer ?
      Could someone please explain to me ?
      Some of all my fears

    I, Sleep with one eye open
    I, asking for forgiveness
    Why, begging you for mercy
    I, Oh just what are you afraid of

      To be oppressed, destroyed or cost aside
      Surely only makes it worse
      Ridicule exposes weakness
      And reads like some sotanic verse
      It's easy just to show indifference
      When deep down we all know it's use
      Strike a blow or strike a balance
      Before they breed their Hitler youth
      Call a meeting of our spirits and drive a stoke through our beliefs
      Or tell them we don't care at all

    I, Stand up and be counted
    I, Stun me into silence
    Why, sleep with one eye open
    Oh just what are you afraid of

      The sum of all my fears
      Some of all my fears
      Some of all my fears
      Oh just what are you afraid of

    I, Sleep with one eye open
    I, asking for forgiveness
    Why, begging you for mercy
    I, just what ore you afraid of

      Why. begging you for mercy
      I, just what are you afraid of

    11. Summer Days

      Endless nights, summer days
      Thoughts of you never fade
      1 see you still in my mind
      Every doy and through the night

      What you told me, echoes still
      It never leaves me, it never will
      You can't imagine
      How I feel

    Is it me holding on too long ?
    Is it me who's more than just a friend ?
    Is it me expecting too much
    Is it me ?

      In my life you belong
      I've made my mind up and you're the one
      I'll be waiting from now on

      And what you promised
      It echoes still
      I believed you and I still
      Can remember how you feel
      So real

    Is it me holding on too long ?
    Is it me expecting too much
    Is it me chasing a dream ?
    Is it me ?

      I'd cry a million tears ond they keep falling
      I guess I wos weak
      I should hove walked away
      Calling out I'm calling out
      Hear me, can you hear me

    Is it me holding on too long ?
    Is it me expecting too much
    Is it me lying to myself ?
    Is it me, is it me
    It's not my fault

    12. Better Luck Next Time

      A lonely ghost's holding me
      Let me out
      Let me die slowly
      I hide awoy totally alone
      Don't come around here to see what's going on
      I know, I am a stranger
      Everywhere I look
      The pictures remaining the some
      I'd crawl a high wire
      Just to escape with
      Bits and pieces of me
      It's no way to live, I'm wasted here

    In this town everything stays the same
    Let's get the fuck out of here
    In this life, you're too predictable
    Óîè'ãå boring the ass off me
    Strong words from such a small mind

      The best idea is what I have in mind
      Words with meaning, from the soul
      I sit around a lot and fool around too much
      I'm glad I'm alive I wish I was sane
      Whatever sane is ?
      It's 6 o'clock and I'm still here
      But not tor long

      In my head you're all I can ever hear
      You're draining my energy
      Small words just to kill time
