HITTMAN LYRICS

1. Radio Waves

[Jim Bachi, Michael Buccell, Mark Jenkins, Dirk Kennedy, John Kristen]

Well as a young man I can recall, hearing Reagan talk the possibilities of a war.
Staring at the TV trying to make believe.
My father understands , my mother pours the tea.
It's all we do cause all that we see, television brain washing the lives that we lead
It's like we do more than we think
We've got to change the channel cause the wave's on the brink
It's all the same, it'll never change
See its got me to wonder
It's all the same but the name have changed
Better clear the black
I'm 21 now and working the job
May after taxes take home make me feel like I've been robbed
Reach for the channel for a chance to escape
Iraq invades Kuwait, another series of gang rapes
It's all the same, it'll never change, and it's got me to wonder
Who's on the take, and who's getting paid
Gonna' dig my grave I hear it echo through my mind..
R A D I O
It's like the memory of a time gone by
Like my radio..
R A D I O
And I hear it echo through my mind..
R A D I O.
Seems like the memory of a time gone by
Like my radio.

2. Listen

[Jim Bachi, Michael Buccell, Mark Jenkins, Dirk Kennedy, John Kristen]

Here's the problem with the whole situation
Stereotypical rock-n-roll population
Nobody listening to the music for its passion
They're tuned to videos watching all the fads and fashions
I you miss that special feeling just look in my eyes
If you need to free from visual and to satisfy
Listen to.. to this
I used to think I had the music scene all scooped out
Hangin' at the scrap bar with my blackened hair all grown out
Everyone bidding for the million dollar contract.
Billion dollar babies signing up with their new fuck act
If you miss that special feeling, got to leave them behind
If you want that brand new edge that's gonna' blow your mind
Listen to this
Can you hear what I'm feeling
Listen to.. to this
Listen to the words you're hearing
Does it evoke a long lost feeling
Listen to your heart and don't you know.. you're listening
Listen to this
Can you hear what I'm feeling
Listen to.. to this
Listen to this
Listen to the words you're hearing
Does it evoke a long lost feeling
Listen to your heart and don't you know.. you're listening.

3. Say A Prayer For Me

[Jim Bachi, Dirk Kennedy]

Mother, say a prayer for me
A message of hope to the faith you believe in
Father.. and the powers that be
I know I might have let you down.
Every time I look into your eyes, I see the pain and anger
Every time you hear the words I say, it seems they never matter
I'd always hoped you'd find a way to cure yourself and reason
But I can't stay and waste forever
I hope you understand
Mother, say a prayer for me
A message of hope to the faith you believe in
Father.. and the powers that be
I know I might have let you down
Say a prayer for me
Every time I need to channel the anger, I spit words instead of knives
All of the time you tried to persecute me, I'd hold my breath and tell you.
Lies of fortune, lies of fame
What matter, lies are all the same
It's time I've got to pave my own way out from a shattered man
Mother, say a prayer for me
A message of hope to the faith you believe in.
Father.. and the powers that be
I know I might have let you down
Say a prayer for me
Miracle of miracles, save me I've fallen down
Miracle of miracles, save me I'm calling you
Can't sleep..
I can't think..
I can't move, my heart is weak
I can't live..
I can't love...I draw strength from up above
Oh..
Mother.. say a prayer for me
A message of hope to the faith you believe in
Father.. and the powers that be.
I know I might have let you down.
Mother.. say a prayer for me
A message of hope to the faith you believe in
Father.. and the powers that be
I know I might have let you down.

4. Words

[Dirk Kennedy]

There was a time when an empty page and an empty plate were one
And there was a time, I thought 'bout giving in
But I swore unto my dying day, you know I could never hide
The feelings deep inside, I want it all..
I want it all
It seems like my life gets worn away by wind and rain and storm
Seems like my life, it don't mean much on its own
It needs love and care and guidance just to break out from the pack
There can be no looking back if you want it all..
And I want it
Words are there to hide what you're really feeling
Words make worlds collide, don't believe them
Words are only words, are only words.. only words.
And that's all
I lived a life of sin never gave a care for what I did.
I use to think that trust was a payment and a must, I know about giving in
So let me fly like a bird up in the sky
Let me fly, for a while, I try to speak, wind blows me my words away
And I said that words are there to hide what you're really feeling, don't believe me
Words are there to hide what you're really feeling
Words make worlds collide.
Words make worlds collide
Words are.. only words are.. only words.

5. If You Can't Dance To It

[Jim Bachi, Dirk Kennedy, John Kristen]

Hey Mr
Star Maker
I got a new song, you 'gotta kick it out the jam.
Got the hook and the groove, man it's really the move
It's really different man
Just part your hair to the side, wear it over your eye and your groovy
Kinda' sounds like the stones, but don't call it a clone
The band wagon's leaving baby, better jump on
But if you can't dance to it, what'cha you 'gonna do
You can't dance to it
But if you can't dance to it, what'cha you 'gonna do
You can't dance to it
Not 'gonna dance with you
Hey Mr
Rock & Roll
I'm fresh out of school,
I'm 'gonna make you a star
Got a pair of tin ears, and a shit attitude
Guess I was born into A & R
Can you savor the flavor
Are you part of the club
Are you groovy? Got the grunge and the doom,
Ain't got much of a tune
They come from Seattle, better sign them up soon
But if you can't dance to it, what'cha you 'gonna do
You can't dance to it
But if you can't dance to it, what'cha you 'gonna do
You can't dance to it
Not 'gonna dance with you
You.. you were a fading star
You'd never get this far on your own
You, you're living daddy's dream
Spending Ahmet's green, talking on your cellular phone
But if you can't dance to it, what'cha you 'gonna do
You can't dance to it.
But if you can't dance to it, what'cha you 'gonna do
You can't dance to it
Dance to it!

6. Answer My Prayer

[Jim Bachi, Michael Buccell, Mark Jenkins, Dirk Kennedy, John Kristen]

Hey
I got something to say to you
Oh I know but..
I can't believe
Oh
I know..
But since it's something that I've never seen
Oh, oh, oh...
I'm having trouble looking up above
No, no, no.. it's not the sun, it's what I'm guilty of
I'm so afraid that danger will appear as some kind stranger who can't stop his stare
Well if i read deep, into my beliefs, stop right here
Is my life a mystery or something more than I can see?
Searching high and low below the line
Am I just an element in this worldwide accident?
How can I see who am I?
I've always thought that danger was a way to cure my anger, and to ease my pain
Never will accept defeat
Never back down, no retreat, far from real
If you can hear me, if you can see me, give me the sign and you..
Answer my prayer
If you can hear me, if you can feel me, I'll give you the sign, so please..
Answer my prayer
All of my life, I..
I've been afraid.
If I did wrong, I'd surely pay
Who's to say what's right and what is wrong
And if I steal, put me away
And if I've killed, put me to death
Am I still forgiven for my sins
I've always thought of heaven as a myth where all the legends smile eternal smiles
If I breathe deep, I'll disturb this sleep
If you can hear me, if you can see me, give me the sign..
Answer my prayer
If you can hear me, if you can feel me, I'll give you the sign, so please..
Answer my prayer
If you can hear me, if you can see me, give me the sign and just..
Answer my prayer
Well I'm on my knees and I'm begging please
Give me the sign.
Answer.. my prayer
Well, I'm flying higher than I've ever known
And I'm flying higher than I can ever go
Let me go
Is there a time for a.. burned out mind who can't seem to find, there might be something better
Just one chance is all that I'm praying for
There has got to be some good left within me
Every time that I think about what's mine, my whole world caves in
Leaves me with nothin'.. no, no, no
Answer my..
If you can hear me, if you can see me, give me the sign..
Answer my prayer
And if you can save me, if you embrace me, give me the sign..
Answer my prayer
And if you can hear me, if you can see me, give me the sign
I'm on my knees and I'm begging please, give me the sign..
Answer my prayer.

7. Partners In Crime

[Jim Bachi, Dirk Kennedy]

One heart, one soul, one mind, two of a kind, partners in crime
We work together like lock and key
We've got each other, that's all we ever need
Don't need no system, we got no guarantees
No flash, no cash, no TV trash
What we got we got for free
I know, you know, that we were meant to be
And I know, you know, so come and get it
One heart, one soul, one mind, two of a kind, partners in crime
Whoever said that love was blind, two of a kind, partners in crime
People are talking, don't care what they say
We got a good thing, let's get it underway
My reputation, got nothing' on me now, cause you and me were meant to be, we're gonna' see it through somehow
I know, you know, that we were meant to be
And I know, you know, so come and get it
One heart, one soul, one mind, two of a kind, partners in crime
Whoever said that love was blind, two of a kind, partners in crime
Stop!...
Every time I find a new relation, I get so scared and try to run, to be free again
Lord knows you want to be free
Oooh, you're giving me a cool sensation, wanna' be the blood that makes your heart beat in time with mine
You and me we're partners in crime
Now I said let's go.
H-e-e-e-e-e-r's Johnny
Partners in crime
One heart, one soul, one mind, two of a kind, partners in crime
Whoever said that love was blind, two of a kind, partners in..
Crime!

8. Renegade Man

[Jim Bachi, Dirk Kennedy]

It's all said and done on the other side
The rain is scarce, the sun is black, and my throat is dry it all moves so very fast, almost like each moment is my last
Unseen by the young and old, running on.. a renegade man
Catch my breath, a delirious rage, exiled man from a worn out page
Did my time in life so long ago
I don't know whether it's heaven or hell, betting my life on the wishing well
I have an angel on my side
Doing my time the best I can, knowing I'm a renegade...
Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, go where the wind blows
Whoa-oh, a renegade man, destination unknown
Every time there's a blue sky high, get the same old feeling inside
Life ahead gonna' make me reach the mile
But that was oh so long ago,
Traded in my dreams I've been bought and sold
But I have an ace still in my hand
Doing my time the best I can, knowing I'm a renegade..
Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, go where the wind blows
Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, destination unknown.
Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, go where the wind blows
Whoa-oh, a renegade man, destination unknown
Spent my life, my dreams, my money.
Wars I've lost and won are many
Looking for a fast getaway, gonna' take it, oh..
Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, go where the wind blows.
Whoa-oh, a renegade man, destination unknown
Doing my time the best I can, knowing I'm a renegade..
Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, go where the wind blows
Whoa-oh, a renegade man, destination.. destination unknown
A renegade.. renegade.. man.

9. Ballad Of Jackson Heights

[Jim Bachi, Dirk Kennedy]

All those memories long ago
How did I get through it all
Yesterday I thought I had your love
Met you on an April night
With one kiss I knew it was right
On that day I thought I had your love
Said I never knew how long a love could take
And I never knew how fast my heart would break
Still all I need is to wrap my arms around you
But it's too late, I'm too young for love
I could go on thinking about my time with you
Said, I could go on thinking 'bout the crazy things that we do
Like meeting on that rainy night
The "7" train, yeah, to Jackson
Heights
On that day I thought I had your love
It's too late, I'm too young
Then why do I feel this love so strong
It's too late and too young for your love
It's too late, I'm too young
But deep in my heart
I know you feel love
It's too late and all that you say is that I'm too young
Don't you really think it's time
I don't know, never did.
Did you really change your mind
You loved me, i know you did
And now is the time we should be together
But it's too late
I'm too young for your love
But it's too late, I'm too young
Then why do I feel this love so strong
It's too late and all that you say is that I'm too young
It's too late, I'm too young
But deep in my heart I know you feel love
It's too late and I'm too young for.. love.

10. Walk That Walk

[Michael Buccell]

I got a backbone, you want to feel it
Starts up here and runs way down
I got a hand full of lies, don't make me say them
Don't move any closer, just a little closer
We've got our own defenses, watch those skeletons climb those fences
I'm so bad..
I'm so bad
I can't help but run from my love, just when it has begun
I got a disposition can you sense it
Ha..
I got an attitude a mile long
At times a little stiff so I can kill it, and if I don't turn back, the dead don't walk.
These four walls I've built around me got a mind of their own and they.. talk to me
I'm so bad..
I'm so bad
I can't help but run from my love, just when it has begun
I'm so bad..
I'm so bad
I can't help but run from my love, just when it has..
I'm so bad...

11. Mercy

[Jim Bachi, Michael Buccell, Mark Jenkins, Dirk Kennedy, John Kristen]

Cold is the blood in need of warning
Where will it lead me tonight
A brief affair, the need for power
A vicious urge to satisfy
No time to stop stare
No time to warn, beware
No time for love, just fear and silence
No time to scream, just pray
You'll leave alive, obey
And I will grant you this small flavor.. life
Every time and every place, I walk the streets for.. my love
Gleaming cat's eyes, poised to strike now
In just seconds thy will be done
Every time I search your face, I start to see my own horizons
Thoughts that fill my mind are void
I you be kind, I will be kinder
Stay with me, pray with me, oh, as the subject starts recover
Stay with me, pray with me tonight.. mercy.
Seconds have past that feel like hours
When will you leave or will you die
Reject the love I give or devour
Inflicted pain will be just enough
No time to see my face
A form so filled with pain
No time to capture thoughts, just silence
No time to scream, just pray
You'll leave alive, obey
And I will grant you this small flavor
Stay with me, pray with me, oh, as the subject starts recover
Stay with me I'm free, tell me.. you're beautiful
I hold your lifeline in my hands.
Shhhh..
Don't talk..
Let my love embrace you
Shhhh..
Don't move.
Let my love surround you
Please..
Love me..
Let my love embrace you.
Please.. show me you love me
I love you
I've tried so many times, yet failed at love
I guess I'm meant to be alone
I can't complain,
I've still my memories and now you're saying that it's over
That's not the way I want it
That's not the way it should be..
No
I want to love you forever
Do you love me
Tell me why.
