1. The Score
What's your game
Alright you've got it
Take your aim
Alright you shot it
It's been so long your welcome back my friends
To the show that never ends
Do you know the score
Alright I hear you
I would make a play for sure
If I could only get near you
It's been so long your welcome back my friends
To the show that never ends
What's your name
I can't forget it
I've been there and back again
And I will never regret it
It's been so long your welcome back my friends
To the show that never ends
2. Learning To Fly
Jungles where the tigers sleep
The neon glares
And talk is cheap
Stairways that lead to dreams
You turn around
A siren screams
Energy glows in the heart of the city
You stand in the shadows or reach for the sky
This time the promise is not just illusion
I'm heading for glory, I'm learning to fly
Out there you feel the heat
It's face to face, I cross the street
Help me I've done a fare
I need a ride
So take me there
Everything's moving out of the city
They murder with kisses and then wonder why
Everyone's looking out over their shoulder
We've all gotta jump so I'm learning to fly
I see a figure there, look back at me
I stand and stare
Searching for sanity
To break the force of gravity
Learning to fly
Learning to fly
Learning to fly
3. The Miracle
So here we stand between the gates
Upon the dawn the eagle waits
His tallons shine like daggers
On the wings of revolution
In pain the madman staggers
But there is no solution
Another sword upon a throne
But now the jester laughs alone
Beneath this cloak of treason
Appears a thousand faces
The truth must stand to reason
For those who's heart it chases
Beyond the world of mortal man
Within this sanctuary the spectre begins to tremble
They lay his spear upon the plan
On a sea of diamonds lies a ship of glass
Through the mist the torches pass
Their banners fly in splendour
The ghosts of night decended
With grace their souls surrender
The seal must be defended
Still the dragons reign supreme
Breathing fire till we scream
They leave us nothing but our dreams
No shield can save us
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
Stand clear, there's storm above
And there is something left to fear
All speed, before the blade is drawn
And there is blood upon the seed
Let no one yield we're on the field
Where deeds eclipse the sun
Where the brave are told on a thread of gold
The tapestry is spun
As they speak of dreams their amour gleams
There's calm before the storm
But all can see their destiny
The bishop takes the pawn
In the sky the arrows fly
Each one to it's mark
Defend the true lead us through
This voyage in the dark
Make us strong you know right from wrong
Teach us what it's worth
Cos every heart that aches is what it takes
To save our mother earth
Lay your life upon the line
It's death for glory every time
You give up yours and I'll keep mine
No shield can save us
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
So here we stand between the gates
Upon the dawn the eagle waits
His tallons shine like daggers
On the wings of a revolution
In the pain the madman staggers
But there is no solution
Still the dragons reign supreme
Breathing fire till we scream
They leave us nothing but our dreams
No shield can save us
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
It's gonna take a miralce
We're searching for a miracle
4. Touch And Go
Man in the street nowhere to sleep
No time for nothing no Patek
- Phillipe
Pedal to the metal Blow by Blow
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go
They're leaving you nothing and nowhere to go
Just put you in the corner like an old banjo
The strings are breakin' but you can't say no
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go
Systematic one man show
You're caught up in the middle where the four winds blow
No salvation 20 below
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go
All systems go friend or foe
It's all dependin' on the dice you throw
Come without a warning like a U.F.O.
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go
You see this woman on a T.V. show
She's drippin' in diamonds from head to toe
They make you believe it's the status quo
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go
All systems go friend or foe
It's all dependin' on the dice you throw
Come without a warning like a U.F.O.
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go
5. Love Blind
I'm a love blind, where are you taking me this time
Can't you see that I'm love blind
Where are you taking me now
Ooh-I'm a love blind, how far are you taking me this time
Can't you see that I'm love blind
You wanna take it all but you get nothing in the end
Don't ever underestimate the price of love you lend
It'll cost you so much pain, it can drive you round the bend
If you calculate the damage, the fractures never mend
When you're love blind, love blind
I'm a love blind, where are you taking me this time
Can't you see I'm in rewind
Where are you taking me now
I'm a love blind, where are you taking me, this time
Just can't believe, that I'm love blind
Where are you taking me now
Ooh-I'm a love blind, how far are you taking me, this time
Why can't you see, that I'm love blind
You think you got it made but you've got it all to learn
You just can't seem to realize you own the love you earn
You wanna take it all give back nothin' in return
You sre beyond reflection, you see the edges burn
Til you're love blind, love blind
6. Step Aside
Walking down the street last night
I struck a light
But no one could have seen me without second sight
Taking flight
Handle me with care I'm dynamite
Looking for some place to hide
A voice inside
Said leave this boy alone so you can take a ride
Step aside
If you take me for a fool I'm cyanide
Just like a raging storm
No one can break the fall
They're trying to take us over
Our backs are against the wall
I try and turn my face away
But that's OK
Cos one way or another you may find that it will ricochet
Anyway
They say every dog will have his day
Just like a raging storm
No one can break the fall
They're trying to take us over
But our backs are against the wall
Standing next to heaven's gate
Just can't relate
Unable to remember who was on the slate
Get it straight
Before it gets too hard to operate
7. Lay Down Your Guns
Lay down your guns I come in peace
No need to run my friend into the trees
We've been through this so much before
But still we get it wrong
Lay down your guns and feel no regret
Life is too short my friend, best we forget
No matter how we rise and fall
And how our love is torn
We'll stand up high above the storm.
And still our passion calls
And the juices fall like rain from the sky
We have to understand we're the flame
That feeds our desire
God knows we must survive
Lay down your guns and hold on tight
We'll prove the world is wrong and get it rigt
No need for you to worry now the best is yet to come
Lay down your guns and stand up strong
And though the cut is deep
We can heal it, trust me and keep
Your spirits high
It should be easy now that we've talked it over
And God knows we have to try
Lay down your guns just don't say goodnight
We'll prove the world is wrong, and get it right
And even in your darkest dreams
Some things you can't forsee
Lay down your love, lay it all on me
8. Mars, The Bringer of War
To The Power Of Three
1. Talking 'bout
Tell me what can I do
I sit here wondering if the things you say are true
But oh, so many times
I believed in something that just melted into lies
But oh, is it just a dream or is it so
You're pretending not to see
You're pretending not to see
chorus:
I'm talking 'bout you
I'm talking 'bout me
And everything that we could do
And everything that we could be
Tell me why you don't show
When I look into your eyes the both of us should know
Bull. I just don't know
Am I right in holding on or should I just let go
But oh, is it just a dream or is it so
You're pretending not to see
chorus
2. Lover To Lover
Tell me is there something that I should know
Are we wasting time, have nowhere to go
Why do we say that everything's all right
We'll take the tears
Those wasted nights sit without a sound
Inside our world as it's breaking down
We like there
chorus:
Lover to Lover
Face to Face
Tearing apart
All that we made
Thinking each other's
The one to blame
Lover to lover
There's nothing to gain
Give me something back so we can hold on
And keep it together, we must stay strong
Did we let go as time moved on
Oh the same old line
The lights go out lying wide
The words don't come how much will it take
We lie there
chorus
No one could take away that feeling
Lost in our world we found dream worth
building
And all of it felt so right
So much of life to live
chorus
3. Chains
We shadow dance, you follow me
And that's the way it has to be
Cause even though we've got no strings
You are tied to me
You never tried to turn away
Unspoken touch to make you stay
And though it isn't written in stone
You belong to me
And when we get this close in the night
The circle clones in, up tight
And it's like we're in chains, chains
The kind that won't break
chorus:
Invisible chains holding us together
Chains, chains there's nowhere to escape
I'm making you mine
I'm keeping you forever
Just like the wind you're free to go
Without your body or your soul
Oh you gave it to me long ago
You belong to me
And when we get this close in the night
The circle closes in, up tight
And it's like we're in
chorus
chains, chains
The kind that won't break
Invisible chains holding us together
Chains, chains there's nowhere to escape
I'm making you mine
I'm keeping you forever
chorus
4. Desde La Vida
(i) La Vista
Fortunes drifting across the sierra
Life, survived in visions of gold
Spanish galleons of old upon El Man
Dance of a distant land from afar
Con La Vista Desde la vida
Time to awaken daybreak begun
Feeling so strong here in the sun
The work has to be done, will be done
One thing that is believed we'll be one
But is there more Desde la vida
(ii) Frontera
(iii) Sanqre De Toro
Sangre de toro, drinking the wine
Beneath la montan the shadows of time
The work now is done, has been done
The struggle that still goes on will be won
Knowing there's more Desde la vida
Again we awaken there in the face of the sun
El tiempo es buena, the time is good
A new day is born into our hands
Together we fall, together we stand
Hoping there's more Desde la vida
5. Eight Miles High
Revised Lyric (Emerson/Kerry/Palmer)
Eight miles high
And when you touch down
No time can be stranger than now
Signs on the street
Where are we going
Out somewhere just to be alone
Nowhere near
What can be found
Among us we can't lose mo ground
Time may tell
Long though it sounds
These places our faces abound
Out in the square
Lives covered in stone
Some Laughing most won't take a stand
Sidewalks of dreams
As far as one sees
Some living some standing alone
6. Runaway
You're headed for a better life
Something you can feel deep inside
Somewhere where the lights are low
And there ain't nobody around to go
Saying things that just ain't true
Making such a fool out of you
They think they know just where you've been
And they make you feel like living is a sin
So you
chorus:
Run run runaway
And tell me that there's no other way
Say that you'll be leaving soon
You say there's nothing else you can do
Oh can't you see I'm just a runaway too
But you keep on running
Been livin' in been livin' out
You want to know what life's all about
You're finding that it ain't as good
It don't do what they tell you it would
So now's the time to make it right
You'll walk on out when no one's in sight
I still think there's a better way
But you can't find a reason to stay
So you
chorus
Oh can't you see I'm just a runaway too ...
7. You Do Or You Don't
Have we been pretending we live
this street life
Once the tough ones thinking now
we've grown
You say the feelings are changing now with
every night
Don't know where a lonely rebel goes
On the other side you found something
different
The other side of life you say you've never
known
chorus:
But either you do or you don't
Girl can't you tell me
Either you will or you won't
Gotta make up your mind
You either go or you stay
There ain't no pretending
We've gotta do it together and keep our love
alive
Keep turning back the pages
Pictures of a time that kept us strong
Pieces ofa life that we gave meaning
How can you wonder if those days are
gone
On the other side you heard
the minds rest easy
The other side of life you say
you need to know
chorus
Can you just give up what your heart still
tells you
The very thing that kept our hopes alive
But the other side you say that we could
make it
The other side of life will keep us both
alive
chorus
8. On My Way Home
On my way home
Marching all night
Is the light still on
All through the battle
Been waiting
On my way home
So much of life left behind
So much ahead
On my way home
Marching all night
Is the light still on
All through the battle
Been waiting
On my way home
So much of life left behind
So much ahead unknown
