Oh lover, on the streets we're so intwined in Sweet Surrender
That we might just lose our minds
And just fall into the river and climb up on the bridge
This is what we are, where the rain hits the streets
Oh brothers, this is where we learnt our names, on the grey
Running home from school
Not forgiven, not forgotten, the carrot and the fist
This is what we are, where the rain hits the streets
Girls, cars, money
Where the rain hits the streets
Oh sisters, this is where we laid you down for the first time
When our confidence is low we remember you
Those days are in the past
This is what we are, where the rain hits the streets
Girls, cars, money
Where the rain hits the streets
Oh lover, in the streets we're so intwined in Sweet Surrender
That we might just lose our mind or just fall

Born of fire
04:36

Born on the land but not of the Earth
Yet free to build, free to seek a new birth
Lost on the road, upon the sea
So we ride it, the waves don't hide it
Say don't you cry, it will be fine
Open your eyes, just one more try
We're not broken inside
Sure we tire, but Born of Fire we are
Born of the Sun but not in the light
Trails of glory and like stars in the night
We shine our brightest when deep in the gloom
Lost but not forgotten and open for more
Say don't you cry, it will be fine
Open your eyes, just one more try
We're not broken inside
Sure we tire, but Born of Fire we are

Deep space

Life's too short, my journey's too long
So I just drift in Deep Space
Aim and fire at anything that comes near
We don't take chances out here in Deep Space
Like my father years before, I was born to do one thing
Fly this ship into the darkness for some forgotten dream
There's something in the night
Some twisting light
Something in the dark
Is it love, sweet love
My love, I've never seen before
Dreams are made, reality is lost
My mind just drifts in Deep Space
What is this? Some fantasy from Earth
A memory I lost in Deep Space
Like my father years before, I died to do one thing
Fly this ship into the darkness for some forgotten dream
There's something in the night
Some twisting light
Something in the dark
Is it love, sweet love
My love, I've never seen before

Lay your father down
04:40

Go, lay your father down
Please remember to listen to his songs
‘Cause no one listens anymore
He was better before you grew up
Go, child be hasty
Don’t you forget to take away his glass
Show him some respect
And do just what I ask, my son
I know that he was wrong
But sometimes he was right in that other world
So take me home, and come with me
Back to that other world
Come with me to the past
Don’t you cry, you know I haven’t shed a tear
For many years, for what good do they do here, anymore
Go, lay your father down
Please remember that this is what time does
Please be gentle, for the sake of all of us, my son

Stay if you want to, go if you need to
I've got time and you've got the world
A slave to this romance, locked in this sad dance
I've got time and you've got it all
All alone in this fantasy of what we were and what we are tonight
All alone in reality of what this is while hiding from the light
And I'm learning to breathe in this long distance conversation
There's a gulf between me and you like a long distance conversation
I hear the words but nothing's true in this long distance conversation
I'm learning to see that it's not just all about me
There's a break in reality
Drift if we need to, learn what we have to
I want to talk but something's on your mind
Doomed from the beginning, only you are winning
I'm left behind thinking of a song, thinking I was wrong
All alone but that's ok, that's a part of life and a natural part of me
A kiss from another soul, a touch of another role is never enough for peace
I'm learning to breathe in this long distance conversation
There's a gulf between me and you like a long distance conversation
I hear the words but nothing's true in this long distance conversation
And I'm learning to see that it's not just all about me
There's a break in reality
Hold me, drown me, let all our worlds collide
As I'm learning to breathe in this long distance conversation
There's a gulf between me and you like a long distance conversation
I hear the words but nothing's true in this long distance conversation
I'm learning to see that it's not just all about me
There's a break in reality

Judgement day
04:32
|

If you got the faith and I got the gold
Back where I'm from that's all you need to save your soul
And all you beer-soaked heathens and your wicked ways
Can you stand the heat now I'm bringing Judgement Day
I'm a liar, I broke the truth
I'm so crooked, I broke the confidence in you
I'm with me preacher down on my knees
Just praying for my good deeds
If there is a time when you feel the grind
Don't come to me 'cause, baby, you're not on my mind
When the clouds are a coming, the rain it falls
You're on your own, no you can't have anymore
I'm a liar, I broke the truth
I'm so crooked, I broke the confidence in you
I'm with me preacher down on my knees
Just praying for my good deeds
You live and you learn
And you live, but don't learn
I'm a liar, I broke the truth
I'm so crooked, I broke the confidence in you
