1. Star

Star, you're a star
Yeah, be careful what you're wishin' for
All your dreams comin' true
Star, yes you are
You're now bigger than venus and mars
You can run but you can't hide

Son you're gonna make it, chance you're gonna take it
Tinsel town callin' your name
Penny in your pocket, walkin' like a prophet
A fortune teller claimin' your fame

Arrivin' in style on the red carpet mile
To the left, to the right step aside
As you wave to the crowd a voice cries out loud
Look at you, you're the new overnight sensation

Star, you're a star
Yeah, be careful what you're wishin' for
All your dreams comin' true
Star, yes you are
You're now bigger than venus and mars
You can run but you can't hide

Love and hate related, privacy invaded
A paparazzi's public domain
Dirty little secret yeah, she couldn't keep it
At least you made it on the front page

Tabloids be told all that glitters ain't gold
Not a muse, drug abuse suicide
As you're left all alone after sellin' your soul
In the aisle smile ready for your close up

Star, you're a star
Yeah, be careful what you're wishin' for
All your dreams comin' true
Star, yes you are
You're now bigger than venus and mars
You can run but you can't hide

Stars in your eyes
Got your piece of the pie in the sky
Don't look down as you hang on

Star, you're a star
Yeah, be careful what you're wishin' for
All your dreams comin' true
Star, yes you are
You're now bigger than venus and mars
You can run but you can't hide

Stars in your eyes
Got your piece of the pie in the sky
Don't look down as you're hangin' on

Hangin' on (For your life)
For your life
You're better off dead than alive
(You're better off dead than alive)
Then they'll love you forever

2. Comfortably Dumb

I'm paralysed, process information at the speed of light
I'm frozen, in motion
Desensitized, overstimulated matter over mind

Knowing I have become comfortably dumb
(I have become comfortably dumb)
I have become comfortably dumb
(I have become comfortably dumb)

I must confess, highly educated in my ignorance
Not stupid, still lucid
Indifferent, watching a world amuse itself to death

I'm muted I have become comfortably dumb
(I have become comfortably dumb)
I have become comfortably dumb
(I have become comfortably dumb)

What? When? Why? Where? How come? Who cares?
Knock, knock, who's there? No one, how come? Who cares?

I have become comfortably dumb
I have become comfortably dumb

Take me away, so far away
So far away, won't somebody take me away
Take, take it all away

3. Learn To Love

Don't want to fall in love
Don't want to fall in love again
And you don't know where I've been
Don't want to fall in love again

I will not fall,
Is it a matter of love, or a matter of pride?
Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again

Better to love and lose than never ever love at all?
So tell me something new, tell me why do fools fall?
Tell me why, yeah why do they fall?
Ain't a matter of love, it's a matter of pride

Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again

I should have known it all along
I should have know that i...

Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again

So if you want my love no need to ask
And if you need my love forget the past
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn how to love again.

4. Take Us Alive

Your mamma told you, told you to stay away
Pappa done scold you girl, don't hear a word he say
He said, Over my body no star-crossed lover lay

You can run, I can hide
And we'll meet each other on the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

Tell me you're leaving it, leaving it all behind
Better believe in me, never treat you unkind
(A little closer girl) Come take my hand child
I'll love you for a million miles

You can run, I can hide
And we'll meet each other on the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

Save our souls, save our souls
Save our souls, save our souls

You better run, I gotta hide
And we'll meet each other on the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

You better run, and I can hide
And we'll meet each other on the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us
Don't you worry pretty mamma
They'll never break us
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

5. Run

Hey, let me know, let me know
Let me know when you get there
Hey, so you got to go, you're leaving what a pity
Hey, take your time, take a life time, time to find out
The world is yours so go out and get it

And you Run, when you know there's no escape
You can't hide from your mistakes
Should have known it all along

Hey, spinning round, spinning round
Paint the town as the world turns
Hey, hit the ground running round in circles
Hey, nothing new, nothing new, nothing new to discover
And you still haven't found what you're looking for

And you Run, when you know there's no escape
You can't hide from your mistakes
Should have known it all along

And you Run, when you know there's no escape
You can't hide from your mistakes
Should have known it all along
So you run, never bothered to explain
Left me here with all the blame
Thought you wanted to be loved

6. Last Hour

As stories go, this one's been told
Another heart broken, left out in the cold
With one variation, the difference this time, this one is mine,
Since you've been gone you've stolen my heart
As for the rest of me
I've fallen apart in my desperation
My only prayer: handle with care

Cos I don't know what to do
Wasting my time, wandering through
Wondering why what's it all worth
My last hour on earth
My last hour

So in the end you were the one
Something so right could never be wrong
Without hesitation
I'll tell you the truth: I'm still waiting for you

Cos I don't know what to do
Wasting my time, wandering through
Wondering why what's it all worth
My last hour on earth
My last hour

Cos I don't know what to do
Wasting my time, wandering through
Wondering why what's it all worth
It's worth everything
Yeah my everything is you
It's worth everything
Yeah my everything is you
It's worth everything
Yeah my everything

7. Flower Man

He speaks of meekness being no sign of weakness
Gently placing the flower in the gun
Well intended pacifism a naive idealism
Singing his favourite Lennon song
Bleeding heart insisting preach the path of least resisting
Milk and honey rolling off of his tongue
War is not he answer turn the other cheek
And offer sacrificing on the altar of love

Flower man singing lets all give peace a chance
Flower man keep your head buried in the sand
Flower man you're my enemy's best friend
Flower man you misguided utopian

Peace in appeasing like it's always in season
Never needed to weather the storm
Betting on your better angels ignoring human nature in truth red tooth and in claw
Lion and lamb lay in your land of make pretend
Forgetting every soldier and son
Lest you care to measure all the blood and the treasure
Must be something worth fighting for. No?
Is it worth fighting for?

Flower man singing lets all give peace a chance
Flower man keep your head buried in the sand
Flower man you're my enemy's best friend
Flower man liberty is a well armed lamb

Ladies and gentlemen
I give you flower man

Love is on the way
Love is on the way
Or so they say

He speaks of meekness being no sign of weakness
Gently placing the flower in the gun
Well intended pacifism a naive idealism
Singing his favourite Lennon song
Bleeding heart insisting preach the path of least resisting
Milk and honey rolling off of his tongue
War is not he answer turn the other cheek
And offer sacrificing on the altar of love

Flower man singing lets all give peace a chance
Flower man keep your head buried in the sand
Flower man you're my enemy's best friend
Flower man liberty is a well armed lamb

8. King Of The Ladies

Let me introduce you to my time machine
See my suped up bird spread her golden wings
Going back in black through my neighbourhood
My main street middle class Hollywood

Jenny's all jet-set Purple Rain cassette
Looking like she was the queen of the 80's
And if I knew back then what I know right now
Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies

If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes

Just an average Joe making minimum wage
Burger flipping on the beach instead of hitting the wave
When the girls walk by with their copper tone tan
Sucker punching the clocks, stop working for the man
Well there aint no cure for the summertime blues
Oh Candy, oh would you save me?

And if I knew back then what I know right now
Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies

If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes

I walked up to the dance in the High school gym
This girl with drop-dead legs, I'm moving in
You know must have been the DJ spinning Billy Jean
I tapped Nikki on the shoulder told dance with me
It's like that scene from Grease the way we bumped to the beat
I had the girl give me the slip she got away from me

Coz if I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd have the pick of the ladies

If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes

9. Ghost

Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast, past this place
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should cry before they lay me down

Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head

Shelter from the storm when I sleep
There's comfort in the morn, a siren sings
If only for a moment, I can breathe
The thought of you comes crashing through on me

Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head

Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast past has played
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should die before I lay me down

I'm sorry for the way, the way I treated you
A little bit too late, but if you only knew
I'd take away the pain, pain I put you through
I'd do it all again walking in your shoes

There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head

10. Slide

Find your groove, Then drop the hammer
Overtake, but don't you kick a leg out of bed
Gettin' loose, don't keep it matted
A rooster tail, and you're never gonna qualify
Never gonna qualify
Slingshot, gotta hit the apex
Sneak attack, yeah you are the the man on the move
Dirty air, hangin' in a vortex can you
Feel the rub? It's a shootout as we...

Slide it in
Never gonna qualify
Slide it in, no, no way

Don't become an emotional wreck
Take it slow, pit row
You're moving to fast
They can read your telemetry
Get you in, Get you out
In less than fifteen
Stop
Get you some slicks,
Nice and tight,
Get your fine fresh rubber take the flag
And shake the champagne
All your lizards are waiting and ready to play ready to play

11. Interface

Don't just sit there and stare at me
Don't just sit there and watch me bleed
I'm losing you and you, you're losing me
I'm tired of what we are
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm losing you and you, you're losing me

Face lies flat
I see my reflection
Download thoughts
But your files are corrupted

Don't just sit there and stare at me
Don't just sit there and watch me bleed
I'm losing you and you, you're losing me
I'm tired of what we are
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm losing you and you, you're losing me

You, you're losing me

Time stands still
And you're frozen in motion
I held down your escape
But you're crashing, you're crashing

Don't just sit there and stare at me
Don't just sit there and watch me bleed
I'm losing you and you you're losing me
I'm tired of what we are
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm losing you and you you're losing me

Don't just sit there and stare at me
Don't just sit there and watch me bleed
I'm losing you and you you're losing me
I'm tired of what we are
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm losing you
We're losing
We're losing
We're losing

12. Sunrise

She don't worry about tomorrow
Nothing further from her mind
She don't need to beg or borrow
Time is on her side

She like coloring the rainbow
Never paint between the lines
She like to chase away the shadow
Watch them run and hide

Kiss me in the morning
Before I open up my eyes
Would you kiss me in the morning
Sunrise

See her dancing on the water
Washing dreams upon the shore
Heaven wanting you to call her
Knocking at your door

She my center of attention
Nothing further from my mind
Point me in the right direction
Sunshine, shine your light

Won't you kiss me in the morning
Before I open up my eyes
Would you kiss me in the morning
Sunrise alright

Sunrise kiss and I will follow
Sunrise shine your light
Sunrise filling up my hollow
Sunrise sunrise
Sunrise kiss and I will follow
Sunrise shine your light
Sunrise filling up my hollow
Sunrise sunrise sunrise
She helped me find my way

13. Peace (Saudade)

Heavy is the burden that brings you to your knees
Lost in the confusion of life's uncertainties
Feel you're suffocating with every breath you take
Moment left remaining
Time for you to pray
Time for you to pray

Pray for peace, pray for peace
Pray for peace, pray for peace

Whirl wind she's a-turning the river's on the rise
Suddenly surrounded in the middle, middle of her eye
Light precedes the thunder trembles
Trembles and it shakes
The ground your feet are under
Time for you to pray
Time for you to pray

Pray for peace, pray for peace
Pray for peace, pray for peace
