What a night for a dance, you know I'm a dancing machine.
With a fire in my bones, and the sweet taste of kerosene,
I get lost in the light, so high I don't wanna come down,
To face the loss of the good thing that I had found.
(Woo hoo hoo, woo hoo hoo)
In the dark of the night, I can hear you callin' my name.
With the hardest of hearts, I still feel full of pain.
So I drink and I smoke, and I ask you if you're ever around,
Even though it was me who drove us right in the ground.
See, the time we shared, it was precious to me,
But all the while, I was dreamin' of revelry...
(Woo ooo ooo ooo, woo ooo ooo ooo)
Born to run, baby, run, like a stream down a mountainside.
With the wind at my back, I don't ever even bat an eye.
Just know it was you all along who had a hold on my heart,
But the demon and me were the best of friends from the start.
So, the time we shared, it was precious to me;
All the while, I was dreamin' of revelry...
(Woo ooo ooo ooo, woo ooo ooo ooo)
Dreamin' of revelry...
(Woo ooo ooo ooo, woo ooo ooo ooo)
And I told myself: "Boy, away you go..."
It rained so hard it felt like snow.
Everything came tumblin' down on me.
In the back of the woods,
In the dark of the night,
The paleness of the old moonlight,
Everything just felt so incomplete.
Dreamin' of revelry...

You're not a stranger to me
And you are something to see
You don't even know how to please
You say a lot... but you're unaware how to leave
My darling lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood... out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise
Oh who is the beauty... who the beast
Would you die of grieving when I leave
Two children too blind to see
I would fall in your shadow... I believe
My love is a man who's not been tamed
Oh... my love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain
We come from difference worlds... we are the same (my love)
I never doubted your beauty... I've changed
I never doubted your beauty... I've changed
Changed... who is the beauty
Where is my beast (my love)
There is no beauty
Without my beast (my love)
Who is the beauty
Who... (my love)
Ahhh...
Oh... la bete... la bete
Where is my beast
My beauty... my beauty
My beautiful... beautiful... beautiful
Beautiful beast
She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far did you get
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
Shes got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away
Rise up fallen fighters;
Rise and take your stance again.

But the hotter the battle
A the sweeter Jah victory.

I find myself here once again
under clouds of indecision
reflections looking right through me
I can't believe the lies we tell ourselves
the music used to be everything
the music used to heal
but business soon becomes reality
and nothing left inside is real
dysfunction's all that we see true
allow my best to see this through
got nothing left to give you
now I gotta find a better way
turned against each other
with the games we all like to play
looking straight ahead
It's hard to see things eye to eye
not at all what it used to be
something that I can't deny
and now I leave it up to you
allow my best to see this through
got nothing left to give you
now I gotta find a better way
before I lose another part of me
Spill out on the streets and start, right away
Find out what you are, face to face
Once you've had enough, carry on
Don't forget to love, before your gone
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
When you look at me with those brown eyes
What do you want to do
Do you have to have me
The way that I want you
I want you
When you look at me with those brown eyes
What do you want to say
And are you just another liar
Will you take me all the way
All the way.
Quite some time, I been sittin' it out
Didn't take no chances
I was a pris'ner of doubt.
I knocked down the wailin' wall
Ain't no sin
Got the feel of fortune; deal me in
Comin' straight on for you. You made my mind.
Now I'm stronger. Now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you.
Now I know I got to play my hand
What the winner don't know, a gambler understands
My heart keeps playin' it through
with you, my friend
I'll take my chances on you again and again...again.
Comin' straight on for you. You made my mind
Now I'm stronger. Now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you
Weep for yourself, my man
You'll never be what is in your heart
Weep little lion man
You're not as brave as you were at the start
Rate yourself and rake yourself
Take all the courage you have left
Wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I my...
Tremble for yourself, my man
You know that you have seen this all before
Tremble little lion man,
You'll never settle any of your scores
Your grace is wasted in your face
Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
Learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Well, it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my dear.
Baby, don't understand
Why we can't just hold on to each other's hands?
This time might be the last if fear unless
I make it all too clear I need you so, ohh
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings
Baby, I think tonight
We can take what was wrong and make it right
Baby, it's all I know that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole, I need you so.
So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Yeah, yeah
Let us in
Let us in
Baby, it's all I know that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings
You got to learn to fly, learn to live and love so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up for us and let us in
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
Do something about your long, filthy hair
It looks like a rat's nest
Do something about your mullet
Get out the hair clippers, jerk
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet

Get the rat's nest off your head
Get that crazy-ass mother off your skull
Take your ass to the barber shop
Tell the barber that you're sick of looking like an asshole
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
The mullet is the reason why people hate you
They are sick of looking at your nappy weed-sack
Nobody wants to look at you with that mullet on your head
Why don't you cut that mullet, you numbskull
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet

Woke up so fresh this morning
Love to wake up to your heat
Smiles at traffic lights
I'm so selective with the company I keep
Some never gonna see the evening
Picking one too many fights
Hear a new born baby getting stronger
Through the freezing winter nights
Some never get to see the morning
Claiming darkness feeds their needs
Some are breathing underwater
On a river in the reeds
But only so many soldiers come home
Only so many soldiers come home
Woke up so fresh this morning
Love to wake up to your heart
Smiles at traffic lights
I'm so selective with the company I keep
Only so many soldiers come home
So many soldiers
So many soldiers come home
This road you walk
This path you tread
Sweet I shall see
And heaven fed
These avenues
And bridges far
These narrow streets and these backyards
Only so many soldiers
Only so many soldiers come home
So many soldiers
So many soldiers com home
Soldiers
Soldiers come home
Soldiers come home
Come home

Those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made
Now left beside the road?
Behind us in the road
More than friends I always pledged
Cause friends they come and go
People change as does everything
I wanted to grow old
Just want to grow old
Slide on next to me
I’m just a human being
I will take the blame
Bust just the same
This is not me
You see
Believe
I’m better than this
Don’t leave me so cold
Or buried beneath the stones
I just want to hold on
And know I’m worth your love
Enough
I don’t think
There’s such a thing
It’s my fault, Now I been caught
A sickness in my bones
How it pains to leave you here
With the kids on your own
Just don’t let me go
Help me see myself
Cause I can no longer tell
Looking out from the inside of
The bottom of a well
I yell
It’s hell
But no one hears
Before I disappear
Whisper in my ear
Give me something to echo
In my unknown futures ear
My dear
The End
Comes near
I’m here
But not much longer ~
"Forgive every being,
the bad feelings
it's just me"
And you are something to see
You don't even know how to please
You say a lot... but you're unaware how to leave
My darling lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood... out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise
Oh who is the beauty... who the beast
Would you die of grieving when I leave
Two children too blind to see
I would fall in your shadow... I believe

I never doubted your beauty... I've changed
Changed... who is the beauty
Where is my beast (my love)
There is no beauty
Without my beast (my love)
Who is the beauty
Who... (my love)
Ahhh...
Oh... la bete... la bete
Where is my beast
My beauty... my beauty
My beautiful... beautiful... beautiful

Wish you were here...

You've got time to escape
It's no crime
It's no crime to escape
Cause believe me
I know habits are a hard thing to break
Will be destined to remember
What will we do with time?
Find out what you are, face to face
Once you've had enough, carry on
Don't forget to love, before your gone

Will you take me all the way
