Light Show

Save me from monotony
the worlds a big monopoly
hide me in the city lights
take me out on city nights
spare me from this plot i see
if you are in then let me be
i hear the concrete calling me
just show me life and I'll agree

I hear the footsteps just behind
I hear the footsteps in my mind
I need a world so i cant be seen
I need a world thats so unclean

And i will be the thing that creeps
In the city that never speaks
I will be the thing that lies
in city light that never dies
i will be the thing that creeps
in the city that never speaks
i will be the thing that lies
in city light

Send me to an underground
with lights off so i cant be found
i think now i begin to see
what gods got in store for me
fight me in the city slums
beat on me like bloody drums
show me how to live in here
show me love and show me fear

And i will be the thing that creeps
In the city that never speaks
I will be the thing that lies
in city light that never dies
i will be the thing that creeps
in the city that never speaks
i will be the thing that lies
in city light

break me down and build me up
steal the bread right from my cup
and all at once
and all at twice
ill look into those city lights

into the light show
into the light show
into the light show



The Waltz

Hey
Do what you dont
I'll do what i wanna do
we've been here before
and you dont pick up on the clues
inside i know
i have no soul
just fire and lust
and its out of control

every days an encore
every days the same
that must be the reason why
im happy when it rains

all skin and bone
and sometimes i heard him moan
"shes always the same
no different than when she came"
we both fight the tide
but deep  on down inside
well i know this wont last forever
cause my heart it changes with the weather

every days an encore
every days the same
that must be the reason why
im happy when it rains

take me to broadway
make me see the city
tonights the night
girl im gonna make you feel pretty
take me to broadway
make me see the city
tonights the night
girl im gonna make you feel pretty

so now i see
shes left her mark on me
and while i stand here stunned
i think i can hear her hum
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

every days an encore
every days the same
that must be the reason why
im happy when it rains

take me to broadway
make me see the city
tonights the night
girl im gonna make you feel pretty
take me to broadway
make me see the city
tonights the night
girl im gonna make you feel pretty



Northern Bank

Dear sir, open up, unlock the door
we've had enough sitting idle
and my soul was made for war
youve got the power
youve got the keys
weve got the guns
now open up please, yeah

its almost christmas and your vaults are crammed
with presents for my people
a simple plan
a happy holiday, we wish you the best
you stay late and we do the rest

Brian, they tell me youre lyin
what should i tell
all our children
i can hide the story, i can clear your name
but the one thing i cant clear is your own damn shame

i will wave my blade and your children will cry
i could make pray for tomorrow
but im not that kinda guy
dont dream of heroics, cause its all a sham
its not even your money, it belongs to the land
so take it easy this could take a while
and while your cash will flow
i cant help but smile

Brian, this Christmas i'll be sighin'
what should i tell
all our children
Brian in the letter i am giving you peace
to be coming out better
i await your release



The Canary Sings

Oh darlin, hold on
i think you need to speak up
cause when youre ridin so high
i cant seem to keep up

well who's words are those then
they arent mine, i can tell
i dont think youve got a line to lend
it doesnt matter how you speak or sell
the storm that brought the flood which kept me cold
was brought by you thats what i was told
and i bet that its true

and the canary sings
with such particular instruction
theyre gonna clip your wings
cue the destruction
and the canary sings
with such particular instruction
theyre gonna clip your wings

well kill the prince hes no better than the king
shed a tear for the queen, she never held the position anyway

cause it just feels like rain
sweetheart i pray you speak your soul
cause if you dont
itll show
la la la la la  la la

and the canary sings
with such particular instruction
theyre gonna clip your wings

and the canary sings
