1. I Salute You

Left out in the cold
You were bought and sold
On the day that you were born
It took a lot of guts to make it on your own
Despite the loosing hand you played to win
You're still alive

Here's tomorrow's yesterday
Fight the good fight all the way
You've made it this far, I salute you
Through the fire, through the rain
All the heartaches, all the pain
You've made it this far
I salute you

You've been stuck in the mud
You've been lost in the flood
You've been put down on your knees
And you still rose up just like fire
You never asked for help
You never thought about it
You just pushed on

Here's tomorrow's yesterday
Fight the good fight all the way
You've made it this far, I salute you
Through the fire, through the rain
All the heartaches, all the pain
You've made it this far
I salute you

When you don't know which way to turn
With so much love your heart gets burned
And the good things turn to bad

You stand alone out in the rain
Bought and sold but not in vein
Cause in the end there's always
Love for hope
Hope for love
Rise above

Here's tomorrow's yesterday
Fight the good fight all the way
You've made it this far, I salute you, yeah I do
Through the fire, through the rain
All the heartaches, all the pain
You've made it this far
I salute you

2. Arianne

Arianne, I remember how the wind played with your hair
I remember how the night brought us together
Arianne, are you there, do you still believe in magic
Is your heart still as wild as fire

Beating with mine
Bleeding with mine

Arianne, you're an open sky, you're a flowing river
Arianne, your name on my lips forever
Arianne, you're a starlit night, you're a burning candle
Arianne, you and I alone together

Arianne, how you swayed and danced there in hot desert sand
How your every move was poetry in motion
Arianne, do you still, say do you still believe in fairytales
Do you know just how very much I miss you
Cause your heart's beating with mine

Arianne, you're an open sky, you're a flowing river
Arianne, your name on my lips forever
Arianne, you're a starlit night, you're a burning candle
Arianne, you and I alone together

(She's running) She's running with the wolves in the night
(She's hiding) Somewhere between the dark and the light Arianne

Your heart's beating with mine

Arianne, you're an open sky, you're a flowing river
Arianne, your name on my lips forever
Arianne, you're a starlit night, you're a burning candle
Arianne, you and I alone together

(She's running) She's running with the wolves in the night
(She's hiding) Somewhere between the dark and the light Arianne

3. Night Drive

(I bet you don't sleep at night
Knowing me next to him)

Lost soul
In the parking lot
No sleep
Awake for ages

No sound
Both hands on the wheel
My broken, restless heart is throwing up
I'm turning on the engine
I'm heading to the dark

Just another night drive
Splitting the dark with the ghost of you
I'm dying to come back alive
Reach for the end of the line
All the memories
All of you and me
Keep me awake, I can't break free and now
Night after night all I can do is just go out for another night drive

Darkness on the edge of town
No lights in the tunnel of love
No songs on the stereo
The engine makes the sound with pouring rain
Trying to close the curtains
But the light keeps creeping in

Just another night drive
Splitting the dark with the ghost of you
I'm dying to come back alive
Reach for the end of the line
All the memories
All of you and me
Keep me awake, I can't break free and now
Night after night all I can do is just go out for another night drive

Just another night drive
Speeding away from the ghost of you
I'm dying to come back alive
Reach for the end of the line
All the memories
All of you and me
Keep me awake, I can't break free and now
Night after night all I can do is just go out for another night drive

4. Chariot Of Fire

I wanna ride on a chariot of fire
Rolling down the street of dreams

Pack it up, let's get outta here
I'm tired of wasting time
I think you know what I mean, my dear
We've reached the end of the line

I wanna see, I Just wanna feel
And leave this all behind
Say goodbye to the pouring rain and
Say hello to the sun

We will break our chains
We will change our game as we go

I wanna ride on a chariot of fire,
Pick you up and go blazing on through the night
Making love in the street car named desire
Rolling down the street of dreams

I wanna ride on a chariot of fire,
Pick you up and go blazing on through the night
Making love in the street car named desire
Rolling down the street of dreams
On a chariot of fire

We started out with nothing
And yeah we saw it all
But we got stuck in the middle
We couldn't help the fall

We tried this so many times before
We always hit the floor
Now it's time that we close that we close that door
No this won't do, I want more

We will break our chains
We will change our game as we go

I wanna ride on a chariot of fire,
Pick you up and go blazing on through the night
Making love in the street car named desire
Rolling down the street of dreams

I wanna ride on a chariot of fire,
Pick you up and go blazing on through the night
Making love in the street car named desire
Rolling down the street of dreams
On a chariot of fire

I can't keep up with my dreams anymore
I'm spinning outta control
A sinking ship that's so far from the shore
I can't take it anymore

I wanna ride on a chariot of fire,
Pick you up and go blazing on through the night
Making love in the street car named desire
Rolling down the street of dreams

I wanna ride on a chariot of fire,
Pick you up and go blazing on through the night
Making love in the street car named desire
Rolling down the street of dreams
On a chariot of fire

On a chariot of fire
I'm rolling down the street of dreams
Chariot of fire, yeah yeah

On a chariot of fire

5. Bring On The Rain

If you could see me
If you could hear me
If you could feel me

Then you'd believe me

Oh, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To have you here with me
I want you so much
Long for your touch now

I can't get close enough
I'm not strong enough
To put out the fire now
If I can't have your flame
I just pray
Bring on the rain

No matter what I do
I'm crazy for you
I'm mad about you
The things that you do

Oh, they always take my breath away
I need you by my side (I need you by my side)
Your kiss of fire would take me higher now

I can't get close enough
I'm not strong enough
To put out the fire now
If I can't have your flame
I just pray
Bring it on

I can't get close enough
I'm not strong enough
To put out the fire now
If I can't have your flame
I just pray
Bring on the rain

To put out the fire now (to put out the fire)
As the wheels keep rolling on and on

I can't get close enough
I'm not strong enough
To put out the fire now
If I can't have your flame
I just pray
Bring on-

I can't get close enough
I'm not strong enough
To put out the fire now
If I can't have your flame
I just pray
Bring on the rain

6. Love Is A Beautiful Lie

There was a time when love was blind
Back then we were out of our minds
The dreams we had turned out too wild
The world got swept under our feet
Love is a lie, love is a beautiful lie

We shared our dreams in one heart beat,
We thought we could not drift apart
The plans we had were built too steep
And now they come crumbling down
Love is a lie, love is a beautiful lie

Sometimes we win, sometimes we hurt and our hearts ache
And we can't tell the nights from the days
How many times, how many ways
Can our hearts break cause I don't know how much we can take

Love is a lie, love is a beautiful lie

I ask myself what could I have done
To stop us from drifting apart
Now it's too late for tears and
I'm missing a piece of my heart,
I'm falling hard
Love has no safety nets, life's full of empty bets,
Our life is a merry-go-round

And love is a lie, love is a beautiful lie

Sometimes we win, sometimes we hurt and our hearts ache
And we can't tell the nights from the days
How many times, how many ways
Can our hearts break cause I don't know how much we can take

Love is a lie, love is a beautiful lie

Now the time stands still
Every hour goes by like a million years
I keep on going back to the times we had
Again and again

Sometimes we win, sometimes we hurt and our hearts ache
And we can't tell the nights from the days
How many times, how many ways
Can our hearts break cause I don't know how much we can take

Love is a lie, love is a beautiful lie
Yeah, love is a lie, love is a beautiful lie

7. Ticking Away

In the last days of September
As the leaves fell from the trees
As the wind started blowing colder
That's when time just stopped for me

I should've seen it coming
I thought I was prepared
But the winter just came running
Freezing everything we shared

And the clock keeps ticking away
Tick tock ticking away

I wake up, I fall down
Lying here on the stony ground
And the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)

It's a long way to climb
Has it all been a waste of time
'Cause the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)

I should try to turn me loose
To cut the ties that bind
I should just cut down the booze
Have a clear and open mind

But things they just don't work that way
When all the light is dark
So all I do is hope and pray
To get back the fire and spark

And the clock keeps ticking away
Tick tock ticking away

I wake up, I fall down
Lying here on the stony ground
And the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)

It's a long way to climb
Has it all been a waste of time
'Cause the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)

And the clock keeps ticking away

I wake up, I fall down
Lying here on the stony ground
And the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)

It's a long way to climb
Has it all been a waste of time
'Cause the clock on the wall keeps ticking away

(Tick tock ticking away)

8. Battle Ground

Blood rushing thru your veins,
Walking thru the open gate
Swear you'd never walk back in
After all that fear and hate

A ticket for the bus
To take you anywhere
You could start all over again
You would you could but oh no
Oh no

Out of the light
Diving into the dark
Back to the scene of the crime
You knew you couldn't take it,
You couldn't settle down
You're home when the night comes around,
Falling over battle ground

The town has changed so much
That you don't know where to start
So you call the only ones you know
The thieves and whores at Sally's bar

You could say no to trouble
When trouble's asking for you
You could turn a new page
You would if you could, but oh no, oh no

Out of the light
Diving into the dark
Back to the scene of the crime
Well you know you couldn't take
You couldn't settle down
You know there's still life to be found
Beyond the battle ground

Oh no, battleground
Battleground, oh no

The same old faces in the
Shady side of town
Seek for salvation
In a world turned upside down

The truth you're facing puts a dagger thru your heart
You can't break the circle and there's no way out

Out of the light
Diving into the dark
Back to the scene of the crime
Well you know you couldn't take
You couldn't settle down
You know there's still life to be found
Beyond the battle ground

Out of the light
Diving into the dark
Back to the scene of the crime
Well you know you couldn't take
You couldn't settle down
You know there's still life to be found
Beyond the battle ground

9. Candle In The Window

The sadness in those eyes behind that unreal smile
Trying not to cry while holding your head high

How it chills me to the bone
To have to leave you all alone
If I could I'd never walk away if
I could you know I'd be here to stay

You'll be in my heart
You'll be in my soul

No matter how much
No matter how long
It takes I'll be back to you
It's always too much
It's always too long
To stay away from you
And as the battles here continue
Keep the candle in the window

There's fire in the rain
Ice running thru my veins
Shadows never seem to let me be
And this missing you is slowly killing me

You'll be in my heart
You'll be in my soul
Even though we're far apart
I just can't let it go

No matter how much
No matter how long
It takes I'll be back to you
It's always too much
It's always too long
To stay away from you

No matter how much
No matter how long
It takes I'll be back to you
It's always too much
It's always too long
To stay away from you
And as the battles here continue
Keep the candle in the window

Don't know if I
Make it outta here alive
But a thought of you
Makes me fight hard to survive
Please guide my way
And keep the candle in the window

No matter how much
No matter how long
It takes I'll be back to you

No matter how much
No matter how long
It takes I'll be back to you
It's always too much
It's always too long
To stay away from you

And as the battles here continue
Keep the candle in the window

10. Rock In The City

This week gave me a lot
Chewed me up and spat me out
You know I don't really get it

How I barely survived this, man
Ring the bell

Friday night, I can't wait
Going out now don't be late
Grab a shirt, the one that's clean and-
Beat up sneakers, a pair of jeans

Go and and rock, rock in the city
Oh how the night's so pretty
Rock, rock in the city tonight
I wanna see you dance for me
Shake for me
I wanna see you rock in the city tonight

I'm waiting for adventure
A little shelter from the rain
I wanna get up and go
I wanna have a little fun
To, to ease the pain

Friday night, I can't wait
Going out so don't be late
Grab a shirt, the one that's clean and-
Beat up sneakers, a pair of jeans

Go and and rock, rock in the city
Oh how the night's so pretty
Rock, rock in the city tonight
I wanna see you dance for me
Shake for me
I wanna see you rock in the city

Rock, rock in the city for me
Tonight, tonight (city tonight)

Friday night, I can't wait
Going out so don't be late
I gotta blow off some steam now
Wake me up from this bad, bad dream

I wanna rock, rock in the city
Oh how the night's so pretty
Rock, rock in the city tonight
I wanna see you dance for me
Shake for me
I wanna see you rock in the city

Dance (dance for me) shake (shake for me)
I wanna see you rock in the city tonight
Woah woah yeah
Rock in the city tonight!
