REASON when the ground opens up, and i’m over my head and the lights go out and the walls cave in the last breath it shoulda been... and she takes my hand and she says again and again and again... „its okay babe...“ when the music slows and the dancers stop and i look in my hands and there’s nothing there and it’s all i got then she takes my hand and she says yes she says „everything’s lovely..“ you’re my reason that i’m still here you’re my reason that i fight this fear and i persevere you’re the reason that i’ve come this far that i’ve come this far you’re my reason when it’s all too much and it’s not enough when the chips are down, the going gets rough life gets too tough so she takes my hand and she says then she says.. „you’re alright with me...“ you’re my reason that i’m still here you’re my reason that i fight this fear and i persevere you’re the reason that i’ve come this far, that i’ve come this far you’re my reason

FREEDOM we walk we breathe we’re counterfeit we decorate and dress in the latest we disappear inside machines replace reality with virtual we pump drugs into our lungs lies into our young and offer no way back we mourn mass graves but still want weapons of mass destruction... did somebody mention the word freedom? are you trying to tell me that i’m free? can’t suffer under your delusions haze of lies, can hardly see in my house all the doors are open our minds are like an open sea don’t wanna borrow your illusions haze of lies, can’t hardly see we love...and hate and alienate and propagate and seal our fates we can’t abide miscegenation we blind ourselves to our moral holocaust we eat and cry sweat and die , and fight our wars and inbetween we try desperately to believe ourselves... did somebody mention the word freedom? are you trying to tell me that we’re free? did somebody mention the word freedom? haze of lies, can’t hardly see in my house all the doors are open our minds are like an open book did somebody mention the word freedom? haze of lies, don’t wanna look did somebody mention the word freedom? are you trying to tell me that i’m free? can’t suffer under your delusions haze of lies, can hardly see in my house all the doors are open our minds are like an open sea don’t wanna borrow your illusions haze of lies, don’t wanna look...

ITS NOT THE SAME something’s come loose inside colours seem dull somehow your words don’t ring true eyes telling the same old lies i misunderstood thought we had a deal in love forever that’s not how it feels it’s not the same it’s not the same anymore everything’s changed now gotta go my own way now just not the same you’ve got to let go don’t act like you didn’t know it’s just not the same no more you said you’d always love me said you’d be there even if the world was ending do you remember that..? and that you’d never hurt me and that you’d care when not another person stood right by me don’t go forgetting that broken when i found you, some brother turned you out and you were in the exit lane don’t you remember that..? we built a life together we took the hits we promised that we’d even die together do you remember that..? no second chance to fool me school is out now i thought that you really knew me hope you remember that? and you were so into me, wanted babies with me wanted everyday with me don’t you remember that..? your heart was promised to me, you gave it to me you burned into me do you remember that? and then you took it from me just when i needed it the most, love i’m gonna remember that it’s not the same

ME RELOADED (BACK TO ME) it’s stormy collar’s turned up no direction, wind’s changing but inside’s quiet...find my peace there end of nowhere, how’d i get here? no way of knowing it’s a new day, or so they say but don’t you believe it until you’ve lived it keep on going just keep on going... disappointed in the no-shows and the no-gos and the weak flows and the let downs and the pushed-arounds and the lost but never found, never found i’m gonna go back and start again back to when and reinvent i’m gonna go back try something new, a different view something new i’m gonna go back back to a time of innocence back in time i’m gonna go back to me back to me it’s shallow, so shallow can’t stand it heavy-hearted, where’s the meaning? what’s the point now? find the groove now, that’s the joint now explanations won’t do it get through it eyes to the prize now spiritualise now no more lies now disappointed in the no-shows and the no-gos and the weak flows and the let downs and the pushed-arounds and the lost but never found, never found.. i’m gonna go back and start again back to when and reinvent i’m gonna go back try something new, a different view something new i’m gonna go back back to a time of innocence back in time i’m gonna go back to me back to me

SYMPHONY symphony she’s only known as symphony melody, she crept and crept into the soul of me symphony she’s sort of like a song she moves along in perfect time right now, in perfect rhyme you and me we slip away, slip away let our song begin to play ooh symphony, make me the one the only one who knows this who knows this kiss symphony like violins, music begins and starts to swell, it starts to swell and i can tell that pretty soon we’re gonna be in tune our hearts will beat in perfect harmony symphony my heart’s beating like a timpani (boompa boompa boom boom) when you want me symphony and i’ll come and love you tenderly oh, do that thing, girl making you feel my love for you is real symphony, symphony do the thing that makes you feel i love you darling oooh...
12.
YOUR PLACE do you have any idea just how you move me? does your list of things to do today include me? does your world fall out of place when you see my face? don’t you care that i’m far from perfect fallen far from grace? if you have an evil plan do what you will cause i don’t mind cause babe, i don’t mind i think now is the right time, cards on the table i could bring you back to life, as long as I’m able i could play the innocent but i feel i should confess the way the light catches your body... well, you can guess the rest so, if it’s love then i’m your man do what you will cause i don’t mind no babe, i don’t mind are you feeling breathless? did you lose your ground? cause i can’t think of a reason not to stick around i could be a playground if you need to keep it light to die the little death with me that’s just half the fight... so, if you want and if you can do what you will cause i don’t mind you know that i don’t mind if the natural progression means drifting in the wind i don’t mean to complicate things but that’s fine by me so, if you have an evil plan do what you will cause i don’t mind babe, i don’t mind if you want and if you can i’d understand and i don’t mind no babe, i don’t mind so, if its love then i’m your man do what you will cause i don’t mind you know that i don’t mind

OVER NOW in my mind’s eye that’s the last page a disaster go the distance are you happy? did you make it? it’s over now, it’s over now it’s over now, it’s over now... does it feel good? did you mean to? aren’t you smug now? well, get along now got your way now satisfied now it’s over now, it’s over now it’s over now, it’s over now... broke to pieces took a wrong turn end of nowhere am i funny? well, look a little closer i’m disappearing it’s over now, it’s over now it’s over now, it’s over now...
