1. All The Dreamers
The weekend's started
It sounds like thunder
And they've come miles to be
Inside this fairground
Of noise and wonder
It's there for all to see
The lights are blazing
The smoke is rising
It's going to chase your heart
With no exception
That's not surprising
Just like a brand new start
All the dreamers will come
And they bring heart and soul
'Cause they're all here to rock and roll
All the dreamers will come
What they bring will be gold
'Cause they're all here to rock and roll
It's going to get crazy
Everyone will be a star
Getting it all back on the line
It's going to get crazy
Doesn't matter who you are
Everyone here will have a time
No hesitation
To sing forever
Tomorrow's so far gone
While things are changing
In equal measure
They just keep pushing on
They just keep rolling
And get together
That's everything they need
Just found and wanted
Can't get much better
They really do believe
All the dreamers will come
And they bring heart and soul
'Cause they're all here to rock and roll
All the dreamers will come
What they bring will be gold
'Cause they're all here to rock and roll
It's going to get crazy
Everyone will be a star
Getting it all back on the line
It's going to get crazy
Doesn't matter who you are
Everyone here will have a time
One life
You've got to live it
One life
You've got to give it
All the dreamers will come
And they bring heart and soul
'Cause they're all here to rock and roll
All the dreamers will come
What they bring will be gold
'Cause they're all here to rock and roll
It's going to get crazy
Everyone will be a star
Getting it all back on the line
It's going to get crazy
Doesn't matter who you are
Everyone here will have a time
2. Blood Red Laughter
Was there a single word I said to betray?
The very thoughts inside my head blown away
I know we never drew the line to be crossed
And really didn't think too much would be lost
It knocked me all out of shape
I don't know what I fell into
It's got me living on faith
And after all that I've been through
Blood red laughter
Across your face
If I recall
Monday morning
You run and hide
Can't face it all
Moonlight's fading
I watched you sleep
All through the night
And I wonder
What did you dream
Wrapped up so tight?
There was a priest all dressed in black on the day
Although his mind was somewhere else far away
It's like a stranger took his place for a while
And then returned it faithfully with a smile
It seems a long time ago
And we're still walking the same street
Yeah, it's beginning to show
Just like the cracks in the concrete
Blood red laughter
Across your face
If I recall
Monday morning
You run and hide
Can't face it all
Moonlight's fading
I watched you sleep
All through the night
And I wonder
What did you dream
Wrapped up so tight?
But now where I stand
And all that I see
A picture of you
The shadow of me
From the touch of your hand
The turn of the key
Yeah, I'll live for you
If you'll live for me
Blood red laughter
Across your face
If I recall
Monday morning
You run and hide
Can't face it all
Moonlight's fading
I watched you sleep
All through the night
And I wonder
3. Didn't Like You Anyway
The skilful calculation
Of everything you need
The sly manipulation
Well, that's all, money and greed
Won't help you succeed
They pay you when you're winning
They pay you if you lose
And that just keeps you grinning
Ear to ear, you don't refuse
It keeps you amused
Didn't like you anyway
There's no truth in what you say
Never dealt in honesty
Always reading prophecy
And you'd get it anyway
As we crawl in disarray
And your smile just isn't right
As you take another bite
I hear you call that dealing
That's not the word I'd use
'Cause some might call it stealing
No pretence, that's just abuse
Whatever you choose
Now I can tell your fortune
The way it's going to end
You're staring at the full moon
In the dark, your only friend
Too late to pretend
Didn't like you anyway
There's no truth in what you say
Never dealt in honesty
Always reading prophecy
And you'd get it anyway
As we crawl in disarray
And your smile just isn't right
As you take another bite
Didn't even look away
When they placed a dead bouquet
On the grave of charity
With a veil of apathy
And it echoes day by day
As the reasons blow away
And your hands grow very white
As you take another bite
Well, you're no better than a hungry dog, that's biting
And you're the one who's always after more
Well, you're no better than a thief at night, that's frightening
You know the devil is your friend for sure
Didn't like you anyway
There's no truth in what you say
Never dealt in honesty
Always reading prophecy
And you'd get it anyway
As we crawl in disarray
And your smile just isn't right
As you take another bite
Didn't even look away
When they placed a dead bouquet
On the grave of charity
With a veil of apathy
And it echoes day by day
As the reasons blow away
And your hands grow very white
As you take another bite
4. On The 13th Day
Well, there's a hundred million souls
All looking for redemption
But most of them are digging holes
To bury their intentions
We treat it like a sacred shrine
And then we lose all faith
So everybody walks the line
The guilty and misplaced
With eyes that are swollen and tearful
We all take a bow
It passes the time for a moment
But what happens now?
Down the streets, somehow dead and empty
Watch the people pray
Stand in line, wishing they had plenty
On the thirteenth day
What's happening in the world today?
There's nothing but confusion
You can't believe a word they say
I've come to that conclusion
But something tells me it's all wrong
It's not the way to go
I think we knew it all along
But didn't want to show
We capture the words that were spoken
They hang in your mind
But surely they all will be broken
And slowly unwind
Down the streets, somehow dead and empty
Watch the people pray
Stand in line, wishing they had plenty
On the thirteenth day
Pure in heart, there's no time to worry
Some get pushed away
They won't touch, 'cause their hands are bloody
On the thirteenth day
Down the streets, somehow dead and empty
Watch the people pray
Stand in line, wishing they had plenty
On the thirteenth day
Pure in heart, there's no time to worry
Some get pushed away
They won't touch, 'cause their hands are bloody
On the thirteenth day
5. So Let It Rain
I'll write my story
Using all my own ideas
Don't know the ending
But there'll be tears
I'll paint my own sky
'Cause I know what it's about
There's no defending
Won't scream and shout
I don't conceal many things but beware
Dark clouds will fall, that's all right, I don't care
So let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
Yeah, let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
You know that I don't give a damn
I'm only me, that's who I am
So let it rain
Yeah, let it rain down on me
Your days are numbered
Telling me which way to go
And your existence
An all time low
No need to worry
You're the last thing on my mind
I'll go the distance
See what I find
When people say I'm a fool, that's unfair
Take them away if you want, I don't care
So let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
Yeah, let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
You know that I don't give a damn
I'm only me, that's who I am
So let it rain
Yeah, let it rain down on me
Some people run, try to hide but instead
They never will be
And maybe one day it will happen to me
I'll sit and watch all the clouds overhead
Ride out to the sea
And when it comes down, it means nothing to me
So let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
Yeah, let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
So let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
Yeah, let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
You know that I don't give a damn
I'm only me, that's who I am
So let it rain
Yeah, let it rain down on me
So let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
Yeah, let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
You know that I don't give a damn
I'm only me, that's who I am
So let it rain
Yeah, let it rain down on me
So let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
Yeah, let it rain
Oh, let it rain down on me
You know that I don't give a damn
I'm only me, that's who I am
So let it rain
Yeah, let it rain down on me
6. Dance Of The Black Tattoo
Now every day the quiet dead
Will follow in your footsteps
They fill your dreams with awful dread
And walk in silence through
No holy names will comfort thee
Or justify your feelings
I'm only glad it's you, not me
Will dance the black tattoo
Your diary's empty
So there's no past
You can't remember
What you did last
Your diary's empty
No words to read
No misconception
It can't mislead
You take a chance and play the game
With deeds of blood and murder
Whatever comes, it's all the same
You know it's up to you
You live your life on borrowed time
It's playing tricks to fool you
Well, it's not like a nursery rhyme
With all good things and true
Your diary's empty
The pages white
So nothing happened
For you to write
Your diary's empty
Too late, you cried
No concentration
The thought has died
Your diary's empty
So there's no past
You can't remember
What you did last
Your diary's empty
No words to read
No misconception
It can't mislead
Your diary's empty
The pages white
So nothing happened
For you to write
Your diary's empty
Too late, you cried
No concentration
The thought has died
7. Shadow Town
Fortunes are won
But some have to work till they drop
Oh, and the faster they run
They don't know till they have to stop
And it's nothing at all
For a rich man to be
Completely blind to the call
Of the whole misery
The mask that they wear
Is broken in two
The wind cries in fright
A message to you
The grey stone crumbles
As years are passing
Caught up in this shadow town
And life's much harder
To keep on living
Everywhere's just closing down
The streets are angry
And shouts from children
Nowhere in this shadow town
There's no one winning
But they're all standing
Waiting for it to come round
Nothing's for life
Except the cold and the poor
Oh, and it's sharp as a knife
That's one thing they know for sure
Well, they knew better times
Then their dreams were all sold
And didn't read all the signs
For a handful of gold
The mask that they wear
Is broken in two
The wind cries in fright
A message to you
The grey stone crumbles
As years are passing
Caught up in this shadow town
And life's much harder
To keep on living
Everywhere's just closing down
The streets are angry
And shouts from children
Nowhere in this shadow town
There's no one winning
But they're all standing
Waiting for it to come round
You're pocket's empty but then
You never had much to start
It's got you thinking again
It's almost breaking your heart
The grey stone crumbles
As years are passing
Caught up in this shadow town
And life's much harder
To keep on living
Everywhere's just closing down
The streets are angry
And shouts from children
Nowhere in this shadow town
There's no one winning
But they're all standing
Waiting for it to come round
Caught up in this shadow town
Caught up in this shadow town
Caught up in this shadow town
Everywhere's just closing down
8. Putting Things In Place
Now
People will say
She's just a fool
And won't survive
She
Gave it away
Gone with the early morning call
She knew they lied
Down
She just broke down
Tying her hair
Fixing her blouse
Down
She just broke down
Whispered a prayer
Then screamed out loud
Look
It's one o'clock
He didn't call
Didn't get back
She
Tried to unlock
All of her dreams that she denied
Had turned to black
Down
She just broke down
Touching his face
Straightening his tie
Down
She just broke down
Put things in place
Just to get by
Somehow
She would believe
Thinking
That she could deal
You know
It's not like that
Sometimes
Things get unreal
Down
She just broke down
Tying her hair
Fixing her blouse
Down
She just broke down
Whispered a prayer
Then screamed out loud
Down
She just broke down
Touching his face
Straightening his tie
Down
She just broke down
9. Broken Promises
I question the very things
You told me right from the start
I wondered what's happening
And watched it coming apart
The feeling's gone, I think you'll find
I'm not the one you had in your mind
You filled your cup, don't want no more
The game is up, I'm closing the door
Broken promises
I recall the things that you said
Broken promises
Must have let it go to your head
I might stumble but you know that I'd never fall
Maybe that's hard to believe
I'd be willing to love you but I'd never crawl
I'd be the first one to leave
I'm leaving, I've said before
You're trouble, straight from my past
There's nothing you've got to give
I'm not the first, I won't be the last
A joker's heart can't understand
The emptiness, the colder the hand
You pack it up and say goodbye
Without a tear clouding your eye
Broken promises
I recall the things that you said
Broken promises
Must have let it go to your head
I might stumble but you know that I'd never fall
Maybe that's hard to believe
I'd be willing to love you but I'd never crawl
I'd be the first one to leave
Wait for a moment
Just a moment
For a moment
Wait for a moment
Broken promises
I recall the things that you said
Broken promises
Must have let it go to your head
I might stumble but you know that I'd never fall
Maybe that's hard to believe
I'd be willing to love you but I'd never crawl
I'd be the first one to leave
10. See How They Fall
I lay upon my bed
Not knowing day from night
Hanging from just a thread
Nothing had come to light
Well, I'm trying hard not to think
And won't let it take me
Yeah, I'm trying hard not to blink
I won't let it break me
Darkness falls
Fate takes a hand
Diamond skies blind me
Voices call
Just make a stand
Someone cries behind me
Yeah, tear down your walls
Stop talking
Oh, see how they fall
Keep walking
Wake me if I'm asleep
Leave me if it's still dawn
Save me if I'm too deep
Cool me if I'm too warm
Well, I think I'm losing the game
But I'll go down fighting
When I can't remember my name
And can't read my writing
Darkness falls
Fate takes a hand
Diamond skies blind me
Voices call
Just make a stand
Someone cries behind me
Yeah, tear down your walls
Stop talking
Oh, see how they fall
Keep walking
Yeah, tear down your walls
Stop talking
Oh, see how they fall
Keep walking
Yeah, tear down your walls
Stop talking
Oh, see how they fall
Keep walking
11. From Within
Now I'll just begin
Can't say where I'm going
Won't let it wear thin
Or pass without knowing
I wish you good health
And you know I won't be
Deceiving myself
Still looking but can't see
My senses are dulled
My feelings get carried away
From within, everyone
Let go, you will find
From within, you can run
No hill you can't climb
I woke up today
The sun had come shining
From so far away
It's already dying
But I wish you well
And thank you for trying
So hard to dispel
And stop all this crying
I'm not sure I can find
The thought that was stolen away
From within, everyone
Let go, you will find
From within, you can run
No hill you can't climb
From within, there's a truth
Too small to unwind
From within, there's the proof
Can't see if we're blind
You'll be all right
All right
You'll be all right
From within
From within
No hill you can't climb
From within
Let go, you will find
From within
No hill you can't climb
From within
Too small to unwind
From within
Can't see if we're blind
