SIREN CALL

KEEPIN' IT REAL

Thought police a step behind, creeping up on you. Preacher man, axe to grind, he's lying 'bout what’s true… Saints go in marching blind. The devil comes a’ calling. Angels working overtime. Keep the sky from falling.

Blow by blow, hand to hand. Friend or foe in “No Man's” land. Touch and go, cold as steel. I said, touch and go... Keepin' it real.

Snakeman talk in riddles. Evil waits its turn. Surely Nero fiddles while a billion Ground Zeroes burn... Jet plane dove out of the sky. Struck that window pane. Shot the whole world through the eye. The Lord took his name in vain…

Blow by blow, hand to hand. Friend or foe in “No Man's” land. Touch and go, cold as steel. I said, touch and go... Keepin' it real.

Running out of juice in this human race. Need a double dose of amazing grace.

Blow by blow, hand to hand. Friend or foe in “No Man's” land. Touch and go, cold as steel. I said, touch and go... Keepin' it real.

LOVE OR WAR

Lift your archer’s bow, aim at my desire. Launch a flame arrow, ignite the breath of fire.

Love or war, decide. The games all Gods declare. Love or war, let’s ride. With you I’ll take that dare.

Reach your steady hand. Raise the golden knife. Throw straight and true. Strike now, save my life.

Love or war, begin. Attack at your command. Love or war, we’re in. Let’s make a fighting stand.

Love or war, begin. Attack at your command. Love or war, we’re in. Let’s make a fighting stand.

ALL ALONG

I'd leave this thing behind, believe me I have tried. Force a change of mind, to my heart I've lied… Turning like a top. Imagining your touch. Powerless to stop. I'm saying far too much.

Something so clear… becoming so strong. We've always been here – all along. Feeling so right… is doing no wrong. We've always been here – all along.

Holed up in my place. Desire reigns supreme. Helpless to erase. This living in a dream... Ruled by this affair. Reeling from it all. Leading who knows where. Riding for a fall.

Something so clear… becoming so strong. We've always been here - all along. Feeling so right… is doing no one wrong. We've always been here – all along.

The mind says no. The heart says yes. All could go on one caress

Something so clear… becoming so strong. We've always been here - all along. Feeling so right… is doing no one wrong. We've always been here – all along.

MEMORY LANE

The taste is bittersweet, the thrill is jaded. Tryin’ to remember to forget your name. The photographs are frayed and faded. Lady, lose my number, if it’s all the same.

Stayin’ home, stay insane. Like the moon you wax and wane. A heavy rain…rainin’ hard… really comin’ down… Heavy rain on Memory Lane.

The dance is done, the band is gone. But in my head you pirouette. Love’s labors lost best forgotten. Wish you’d dim to silhouette.

Stayin’ home, stay insane. Jumping off that same old train. A heavy rain…rainin’ hard… really comin’ down… Heavy rain on Memory Lane.

What a weary world that turns like this. Foolish and fickle as a kiss. Your watercolors bleed and stain.

A heavy rain…rainin’ hard… really comin’ down… Heavy rain on Memory Lane.

A heavy rain…rainin’ hard… really comin’ down… Heavy rain on Memory Lane.

ALL PRAYED OUT

Some pray for sleep, pray they wake. A king building castles or a common bricklayer. Their soul to keep, the Lord to take. They're sendin’ it up on a wing and a prayer.

All prayed out – do as I please. All prayed out – off of my knees. Talkin' about – I'm all prayed out.

Whispered prayer just a-goes unheard, power of prayer ain't keepin’ us safe. Short on deed, just a-long on word. Unanswered prayer just a shakin' my faith.

All prayed out – do as I please. All prayed out – off of my knees. Talkin' about – I'm all prayed out.

See, I got no more penance, no more to give. Trust in yourself – you'll know how to live.

Pray for redemption, pray for rain, pray for release, pray in vain. A prayer for the living, and the dead. Pray whatever comes into your head. Who you believe in may hear you shout. But just by chance – he's all prayed out.

All prayed out – do as I please. All prayed out – off of my knees. Talkin' about – I'm all prayed out.

CAPITAL "L"

She took me by the hand, sat me down and said understand. To beat this thing I must fight. If you can't, well, that's all right.

I said, if there's a magic word from the Great Beyond. A hope of being heard, I would wave a wand… Cast a coin in a wishing well. Twist of fate, only time will tell. But let me say this clear as a bell, this is Love with a capital "L".

She told me she won't break. Can't afford one mistake. And if this means we've reached the end. She won't fret what might-have-been.

I said, if there's a magic word from the Great Beyond. A hope of being heard, I would wave a wand… Cast a coin in a wishing well. Twist of fate, only time will tell. But let me say this clear as a bell, this is Love with a capital "L".

Hold on – hold on. Sweetheart, together we stand. Helping you heal. I'm yours – yours to command. This is for real…

Cast a coin in a wishing well. Twist of fate, only time will tell. But let me say this clear as a bell, this is Love with a capital "L".

UNDERCOVER ROULETTE

Midnight in Cairo, the club was packed. Sleeper agent at the bar. I burned a smoke, she played her act. So surreal like Film Noir.

If looks could kill, I'd be dead. It’s a dangerous bet – playin’ undercover roulette – undercover roulette.

Cool and chic, serpent smile Saw the writing on the wall Ancient wind off the Nile Falcon could not hear the call...

If looks could kill, I'd be dead. It’s a dangerous bet – playin’ undercover roulette – undercover roulette. Such a dangerous bet, undercover roulette.

Shifting sands, hot as fire. Desert mirage glowing red. The Phoenix burns on the pyre. Sleeping – in the enemy's bed…

Lawless land foreign affair. Checked our weapons at the door. Gave up all but the nom de guerre. Waged our own private war.

If looks could kill, I'd be dead. It’s a dangerous bet – playin’ undercover roulette – undercover roulette. Such a dangerous bet, undercover roulette.

FALL REACHING

Never played it safe in a tight pinch. Chased my fate, made my plan. Took some hits, never pays to flinch. Followed my lead being my own man

Lessons are learned - No point in preaching. Bridges get burned - If you fall, fall reaching.

Got some scars, showing my spirit. Dealt my hand, refused to fold. Type of guy to suck up and bear it. At my last stand, I’m going down bold.

Tables get turned - No way of teaching. It comes hard earned - If you fall, fall reaching.

Want what I want, I loved a lot. First in a flash through the door. Before I get old I’ll sure enough die, yearning for more…

Tables get turned - No way of teaching. It comes hard earned - If you fall, fall reaching. Point of no return… If you fall, fall reaching.

THE DARK

Let's get lost we're not too old to chase this childish dream. If we believe we can hold to this foolish scheme. Build a boat, set a sail, catch the balmy breeze. Vanish well beyond the veil. Damn these blackish seas.

The dark is a light, a light all its own. The dark is a light, a light all its own. So alive, alive, come alive...

Let's let go the dead old days dancing on their grave. Though the wind works its ways we'll not the white flag wave. Shadowed night turn deaf ear drown the shipwrecked cries. Siren shoals we'll steer clear if you will be my eyes.

The dark is a light, a light all its own. The dark is a light, a light all its own. So alive, alive, come alive...

It's desire deep in the bone. The fire in a heart of stone. Higher than you can climb alone.

The dark is a light, a light all its own. The dark is a light, a light all its own. So alive, alive, come alive...

SLOW MOTION

The girl got a place she go to groove. Took me there, made her move. We mixed some drinks, then got high. She dropped an ice cube to melt on her thigh.

In slow motion, just a movin’. Slow motion, just a breathin’, slow motion.

She drew the blinds, stripped my shirt. Turned her hip, unhooked her skirt. We went down deep lost in that room. Drifting away on her perfume.

In slow motion, just a movin’. Slow motion, just a breathin’, slow motion.

Feel the need of nowhere to go and the crazy way we went there slow. You turn me on, I can’t get enough of the tender way you love me tough.

In slow motion, just a movin’. Slow motion, just a breathin’, slow motion.

STOLEN GLANCES

All my stolen glances of you, my soul mate my friend. I place these snapshot romances in a book, so you’ll understand…

Turn the pages – a tale they will tell. Of a secret admirer you know so well. Turn the pages – get to the end. See I’ve left room to start over again.

All my stolen glances of you, my reason my rhyme. See how each one dances. A moment of time out-of-time.

Turn the pages – these glimpses of you. Capture my eye in colors so true. Turn the pages – see what I see. Me loving you, so joyfully…

You kiss me goodnight, then close your eyes it’s late, you’ve had a long day. Framing your face in my memory so nothing can take it away…

Turn the pages – find there a treasure of all of my favorite chances. Turn the pages – weigh the real measure of all my stolen glances.

Turn the pages – a tale they will tell of a secret admirer you know so well. Turn the pages – get to the end. See I’ve left room to start over again.

TAKEN BY STORM

When me the fire has forsaken and I'm down on wounded knee. When from me have been taken the dreams of boys that set men free.

Into the fray - Taken by storm. Try as I may - Taken by storm. I'm swept away - Taken by storm.

To bottomless blue myself I cast. Surrender my soul to the abyss. Holding my breath as if it's the last a sacrifice to your siren kiss.

Into the fray - Taken by storm. Try as I may - Taken by storm. I'm swept away - Taken by storm.

Love is a hunter it gets what it comes for. A slave to its hunger, I invite the wolf to the door.

Into the fray - Taken by storm. Try as I may - Taken by storm. Can’t hold at bay - Taken by storm. I'm swept away - Taken by storm.
