APRIL 16TH LYRICS

1. Sleepwalking

Come inside
Blow your wind
Let's leave this crazy world behind
Let them say
What they may
This new found place is yours and mine.

Virtue says
Greed just does
The creature stands and claims his foes
In the mind
So sublime
What you can't see the dreamer does
And it's tearing me apart
But what can I do
In the hours of darkness
The truth comes crashing through.

Broken skies
Seas of fire
We can be anywhere we want tonight
They don't know
Where we go
To future days or back in time
Make your move
Ain't no rules
This land is fit for kings and fools.

Burning up
Breaking out
You can cry but no one hearts the shout
But it makes me feel so good
Don't be scared my friend
Nocturnal desperation
Will reach us in the end.

2. She's Mean

She move just like a reptile
She creep 'round all the while
She's mean but she don't frighten me none.

Her clothes fit like a dovetail
She sleep on a bed of nails
She's mean but she don't frighten me none.

She laugh no she don't cry
She live ain't gonna die
She's mean but she don't frighten me none.

Whisky no Coca Cola
All night long she stay sober
She's mean but she don't frighten me none.

Jack-Boots feline gestapo,
Yes please are words she don't know
She's mean but she don't frighten me none.

Her name it escapes me
Her game it elates me
She's keen and she's got me on the run.

3. Let It Roll

You try so hard - but you don't fool me
I see right through your insincerity
Your bed so warm - but your heart so cold
Don't want to be alone.

Express yourself with your head held down
The way you live is evident all around
Got a none track mind screaming overload
It gets so hard on that rocky hard.

You turned your back on the friends you knew
Maybe one day soon they'll come back to you
What you trying to prove - what you wanna say
It's attention you crave.

Daddy always tries to do the best he can
While mummy's in the arms of another man
Getting ready to let it go.

Some people say you gonna mess with me
But I ain't so blind you know that I can't see
And I ain't ever gonna let go.

4. Clapham Wood

Revealed this hallowed place
'Neath bended bough and every face
Is watching but unseen
And spirits dance before unholy queen

Where time is standing still
And summer nights have winter chill
Where angels fear to tread
And sinners plead or so it's said

The silent trees can tell no lies
Reaching upwards through darkened skies
Oh, mother, won't you help me please
With heavy heart I'm on my knees

There's no salvation here
All innocence has disappeared
No shadows cast, no secrets told
My light is black, my blood runs cold

And now dark forces all around me
They will not be denied
Life's fates and fortunes flicker past me
Unveiled before my eyes

Ooh, I hear the magic storm
Or could it be in my head
Subconscious (sic) is drifting far away
I gotta keep moving
I gotta keep one step ahead

Now striving ever forward
Towards the distant void
Nothing, nothing can reprieve me
From the fear I feel inside

Tomorrow seems so far away inside my weary heart, yeah
The scarlet leaves and twisted oaks have my vision scarred, yeah

You know the laughing eyes are all I see
My pulse begins to race
Amid confusion and despair
Searching for a resting place

The night, the night is closing in
The mystery unfolds
And here I stand, I stand alone
Condemned within this world

Condemned within this world

I open up my eyes
And wonder how I chanced upon this place
Now there's calmness all around me
The tears have dried on my face

Light is shining through the trees
I shall find safety soon
Won't someone hear me please
Before the sun is eclipsed by the moon?

5. Illusion

Life is an illusion
Life is a lie
All as on upon day one
As clear as the sky.

Is there a way out
Is the race run
Terminal distance
At birth the gun.

Left is the wrong turn
Right is the same
Forward you way learn
There is no gain.

Life is the jailor
Time is the key
Unseen assailor, won't you,
Please set me free.

6. Rattlesnake

There was a time
I'm sure you knew
We could do no wrong together babe
Our skies were always blue
Now that's all changed
Been rearranged
The clouds are looming overhead
Coming straight for me and you.

Now don't try and tell me
You can't see what's comin' down
The game of life can be so hard
Take a little look around.

The picture say
You wanna play
Some silly game that you can't lose
But still you'll find a way
To undermine
Who you can find
It's all set out in front of you
Or is it just a step behind.

Now don't try and tell me
You can't see what's comin' down
The game of life can be so hard
Take a little look around...

7. Thursday's Child

It'll tell you all I know if it'll please ya,
Or take you far away if it's faster,
Why don't you take me now 'cause I'm ready,
And all you said before don't impress me.

It's the same old situation and you know it,
A child's infatuation an it's showin',
Why don't you take me now cause I'm ready,
And all you said before don't impress me.

8. Bloody Mary

Hard drinking woman
Let me tell you some home truths,
Listen closely
Only once you'll hear my news.
Well I've been a-watching ya
The way you hang those hips,
You move much sweeter
With every glass you sip.

Street walking, back talking,
High and dry.
Hot lover, mover over
You can't hide.

Oh Mary

Take a chance
Come along and play my game,
Another night goes by -
But it's all the same.
No aspirations,
No dreams of what might be
Just complications,
And it's there for all to see.

Stop crying - you're high flying,
Burned away.
Another shot from empty bottle
Here me say

Oh Mary.

9. The Dealer

Revealed this hallowed place
'Neath bended bough and every face
Is watching but seen
And spirits dance before unholy queen
Where time is standing still
And summer nights have winter chill
Where angels fear to tread
And sinners plead or so it's said.

The silent trees can tell no lies
Reaching upward through darkened skies
Oh mother can you help me please
With heavy heart I'm on my knees
There's no salvation here
All innocence has disappeared
No shadows cast no secrets told
My light is black my blood runs cold.

Now dark forces all around me
They will not be denied
Life's fates and fortunes flicker past
Unveiled before my eyes
I hear the magic storm
Or could it be in my head
Subconscious is drifting far away
I gotta keep moving gotta keep one step ahead.

And now I'm striving ever forward
Towards the distant void
Nothing, nothing can reprieve me now
From the fear I feel inside
Tomorrow seem so far away
Inside my weary heart
The scarlet leaves and twisted oak
Have my vision scarred.

And now the laughing eyes are all I see
My pulse begins to race
Amid confusion and despair
Searching for a resting place
The night is closing in
The mystery unfolds
Here I stand all alone
Condemned within this world.

I open my eyes
And wonder how I chanced upon this place
And now there's calmness all around me
The tears have dried on my face
The light is shining through the trees
I shall find safety soon
Won't someone hear me please
Before the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
