Sometimes a little is a lot;
Sometimes cold is hot -
You turn me off and turn me on
And leave me here, now,
Wanting more…
I want you.
No more!
I bark, you bite,
It’s too much.
Not enough is too much;
Not enough is where we begin.
Old excuses of the past
Rise and fade too fast.
One night alone, with you,
Is the end starting anew -
Chasing you, out of breath,
the last time, until the next time…
Five thousand miles a day is:
Not enough,
Not enough -
Too much of not enough.
“You and me” will never be,
And will always be,
Not enough.

Come On
Too much for me to know -
My heart says yes, but my head says no.
Come on, come on,
you live inside a screen, not where you belong.
Come on, we can try to lose our wires -
Know me, hold me.
Come on, we’re too slow,
staring down at the little blue glow.
So you think you know you now, yeah?
Tied in pics and shiny chains, yeah?
Got to get faraway;
Got to get away;
From the script, we are taught:
We are bought, from year naught.
You can do it all, round the long haul,
just to crawl around in circles;
Or take the chance:
A first-class boarding pass.
Take the chance, take the big chance;
Come on, yeah;
Come on, yeah.
Got to get faraway;
Got to get away;
From the script, we are taught:
We are bought, from year naught.
Yeah, come on, come on -
It’s all in the air;
It’s all in the air;
It’s all in the air;
On and on and on and on…
Come on now;
Come on now;
Come on now;
Now, now, now, now.
Come on, come on yeah;
You’ve found me alright -
It’s time, hold me, you’ve got me alright.
Come on, yeah!
No More Lies
Grinding away another day,
But never enough of the same old stuff -
Nothing to share in the routine stare.
All this time, but time for nothing -
Fair play, you'll get your way:
A fashion victim, chained to the system,
High-rise hypnotised,
High-rise metabolised.
Time to change for something new -
Nothing more, I am through.
No more, “not quite here.”
No more, I am clear:
Not saving for another time -
This is now, take my bow.
Now, now, I am now.
No more lies and no more tries.
Same old, “same old”, wants to fool you -
More and more trying to control you.
Take the last laugh.
No more!
Close the door.
Something in me…
Something in me…
Something in me…
Something in me tells me...
Time to change for something new -
Nothing more, I am through.
No more, “not quite here.”
No more, I am clear.
Not saving for another time -
This is now, take my bow.
Now, now, I am now.
No more lies and no more tries.
Visiting Time Is Over
Do you know something that I don’t?
You want to live but you won’t.
Don’t judge who you think I am -
Only time with me can bring me back to life.
Cure me in the night-time -
Only you can help us find the feeling
one more time.
Nothing lasts too long
with the countdown going wrong.
Five minutes are up, move on -
Nothing to see here.
Five minutes are gone, move on, down the line;
Visiting time is over.
Time is over where you left me -
Sent by the bell, back to the cell.
Number’s up!
Borrowed time returned in silence to the ground;
Now I’m just another name,
Another face in another place
where there’s nothing between us
except borrowed time.
The alibi of silence:
“Another time”.
Five minutes are up, move on -
Nothing to see here.
Five minutes are gone, move on, down the line;
Visiting time is over.
Time is over where you left me -
Sent by the bell, back to the cell.
What do I know about me?
I’m always hiding;
I cannot be seen.
It wasn’t over then;
I will not falter now -
We can climb higher than time.
Five minutes are up…
Visiting time is over.
Don’t Give Up
Don’t give up, make your luck -
Fortune favours those who dare,
So don’t give up.
Turn up the volume, love what you do,
And don’t give up.
You are who you are when you
Don’t give up.
You’re heavy in the darkest day,
Weighted down and lost your way -
Lighten up your dreams today,
And let it all out.
All great things just take their time -
It’s tough out here up on the climb;
Life’s too short for what you’re taught.
Don’t give up, make your luck -
Fortune favours those who dare,
So don’t give up.
Turn up the volume, love what you do,
And don’t give up.
You are who you are when you
Don’t give up.
Anything can happen, more than you imagine,
So live with passion,
Let fortune play with you.
The future movie of your mind
is new and undefined…
Life happens
when you let it bring…
ten thousand things.
Don’t give up, make your luck -
Fortune favours those who dare,
So don’t give up.
Turn up the volume, love what you do,
And don’t give up.
You are who you are when you
Don’t give up.
Good things are here for you -
Don’t give up on you;
Keep on going, see it through.
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up on you;
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up on you.
Just Out Of Reach
If you want me let me know, there is more of me to show: In shadows of reflections, lost excuses of deceptions - In sight I hide, Just out of reach… I can’t get away, the past repeats - I can not see in the dark. Through dusk I grind on shattered glass; I try to hide in pride… My mind is: Just out of reach. Mesmerised by the dark, tantalised by fantasies - We don’t have time to wear these clothes: The anxious story urgency, carried memories we live today, (dropped for another way). Just out of reach… I can’t get away, the past repeats - I can not see in the dark. Through dusk I grind on shattered glass; I try to hide in pride… My mind is: Just out of reach. Just out of reach… I can’t get away, the past repeats: Just out of reach… Just out of reach… Just out of reach… Just out of reach… Just out of reach… Just out of reach…
Never Again
Look me in the eye and tell me your lie - Insanity needs feeding. The mirror is cracked - The neon lights are so misleading. Make my crown; Make my frown; Make me cry; Make me sigh; In love; In pain: Nothing to gain but shame. Chase your tail, Reach and fail - Never again, Never again. You bring the storm; You bring thunder - But never again. The meaning of life is to live: Love in the moment, with every breath; Holding on for dear life, to each other - Words silenced with a kiss. Chase your tail, Reach and fail - Never again, Never again. You bring the storm; You bring thunder - But never again. Never again.
Everything’s Bigger in Texas
Driving down highway eighty, There was something hard to miss: Just one star in the sky, shining down on me. At the end of the line, I saw a big old sign, politely reminding me: In the land of the free, from sea to shining sea, Everything's bigger in Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas... From the sound of my guitar, to the smiles that I meet, to the stomp of the feet, to the rhythm for company, to the hospitality… Yeah, I stayed around 'til breakfast, and in my dreams I made that day, I had my independence day. Because everything's bigger in Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas. Although I was just passing through, I roamed on by the country; The sky was turquoise blue, A warm haze rose to the heavens; And I saw the sunset on the prairie; And it was something real tremendous, Because everything's bigger in Texas. Yeah, everything's bigger in Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas.
Here Without You
Feeling the way the river flows, the way the wind blows - It goes right through me… Am I here, in someone else's dream? Do I exist at all, here without you? It came to me like a thunder cloud in blue to be told we are through - It crashed right into me. But still I hope for you; I'll always feel for you; I'll long for you, over and over… Here without you. Why do I hunger and need you so? Because I'm me, Because of you (of you!) Why do I hunger and need you so? Because I've always loved you… I love you. Why do I hunger here all alone? Because I've always loved you… I love you.
Somehow
The touch of rain kisses the pain of you. To the bitter end, I will always be your friend. There's nothing I can do, Nowhere to be with you. On a hope and a prayer, On the edge of nowhere, I see you here in everything I do. I know I lost somehow - Before you took your vow, I knew that time would carry you away. Winter draws on but still I hold on, To thoughts of you - Somehow, Somewhere, My heart is lost in time… I felt you here somehow; I knew you knew somehow; I feel for you in everything I do. I must leave you now, somehow. I need you to know: Somehow, Somehow, I felt you here - Somehow, I knew you knew; Somehow, I must leave you now… Somehow. Somehow.
