Track Name: Ba Ba Ba Ba
Welcome to the truth custom made
Come in and have some lemonade
Reality will readjust while we evade
The issues that are pressing us
And getting so depressing but
Undressing and unstressing
Makes them go away

We're tired of solid ground
We're wired up for sound
From any fool who'll keep us
Cool with all his lies
Cool with all his lies

Ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba
We believe, we believe
Cuz we felt it burning in our hearts
Ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba
And it's true, yes it's true
If it gets us all thru the night
For the rest of our lives

If there's a master race, we're one
And if by chance they drop the bomb
The heat will never find us
Cuz we've learned to run
No absolutes to spoil our time
So we won't have to change our minds
Just hope that we won't die
While we're still in our prime
Track Name: Under The Heat
Like a snap of the fingers
It was just that quick
The building had fallen
And shattered and
Melted under the heat

We found a buddy
Who was covered in blood
He kept trying to get up and look
Lay down, lay down, lay down marine
Under the heat

All our lives changing
Under the heat

"Take your cameras and
get out of here"
"Forget it" said the C.O.
"You're out of line,
you're angry, I'm angry,
they're angry,
just do the job"
Under the heat

We stopped to listen for voices
And then we'd dig with
Whatever we had
Listen and dig, listen and dig,
Listen and dig
Under the heat

All our lives changing
Under the heat

Reaching through this
Curtain of fear
My arms are stretched
Beyond the limit
I take the heat from
Streaming tears
To bear the cold and
Walk out in it
Walk out in it

My plans for the future
Are a frozen picture
That has fallen and
Shattered and melted
Under the heat

All our lives changing
Under the heat
Track Name: Mercy Mercy
I was wallowing
In a pit of snakes
They come crawling
Up around my legs
Now I despise
Them but I know
If they hypnotize me
Down down I go

Then I say Lord
Have mercy on me
I say Lord
Have mercy

Love to fly
In a purple haze
Believe lies
Just to stay faced
But when I crash
On solid ground
Then I go spat!!
And my up comes down

Then I say Lord
Have mercy on me
I say Lord
Have mercy
Complete
Forgiving
Chastening
Embracing

Love to go far
On my guitar
Love when she sings
Love when she stings
But if I bow
Down to her notes
When death comes 'round
That's all she wrote

Then I say Lord
Have mercy on me
I say Lord
Have mercy
Complete
Forgiving
Chastening
Embracing
Unearned
Undeserved
A total work
Track Name: You Don't Scare Me
If I'm walking in the dark
You don't scare me
Killer chasing me thru the park
You don't scare me
I could ride on a plane
Losing all its engines
Heading straight down the drain
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Cuz I know, no you don't
You don't scare me

Go for a drive and hit a rock
You don't scare me
Lightning bolt give me a lethal shock
You don't scare me
I could fall down the stairs
Or get stabbed at the fair
I won't fear, I won't fear
I won't fear, I won't fear
Cuz I know, that you don't
You don't scare

Why should I go the wrong way
Down a one way street
Against the Heat
When in one moment you could
Turn my up-to-date to obsolete
And your indiscreet
And you don't repeat
And you're beat beat beat
You're so beat

Yea though I walk
Through the valley
Of your shadow so near
I will fear no man
I will fear no woman
I will fear no pain
I will fear no thing
Cuz you don't
No you don't scare me

I'm gonna show you a mystery
You'll be swallowed in victory
Where's your stinger
Where's your sting
Track Name: Make A Difference Tonight
Bells buzzers sirens and horns
Ringing in my head
Bills budgets savings and loans
Always in the red

Times schedules deadlines and forms
I think I'll go crazy
Wish I could remember what it was
Like to be lazy

I'm always running out of time
I'm always standing in a line
I'm always spending every dime

Moments minutes weeks months and years
Just to end up this way
Toils trials troubles and tears
The endless price I pay

Thorns thistles thatches and tares
Tangled up in me
Gonna take much more than a man
To set me free

Why won't somebody
Tell my how to
Make a difference tonight
Track Name: Caught In An Unguarded Moment
I saw you smiling
From the corner of your mouth
In the corner of my eye
(You didn't know that it was there)
But I hope that you appreciate
The fact you were appreciating
One who "did not see"
And so you did not care
But you were

Caught in an unguarded moment
You didn't know it would show
But you were
Caught in an unguarded moment
Your incognito went right
Out of the window

I saw a young man standing
On a crowded bar room floor
He was getting less and less
Thinking he was getting more
And when all at once
He heard a sound
Exploding from the stage
He was taken unaware
And with no time to prepare
For he was

Caught in an unguarded moment
He wasn't ready to go
But he was
Caught in an unguarded moment
He had no time to say "No"

I saw a young girl fly
Over a rocky mountain brink
She had had too much to drink
She did not have time to think
But it was far more than just her car
That flew out of control
She had gone over the edge
Long before she'd lost her soul
And she was

Caught in an unguarded moment
Her fate was inappropos
But she was
Caught in an unguarded moment
She's been a pleasure to know
But she was
Caught in an unguarded moment
She made a brief cameo
But she was
Caught in an unguarded moment
Something she could not foreknow
And she was
Caught in an unguarded moment
All fall down like dominoes
And now she's
Caught in an unguarded moment
Eternal sorrow and woe
Track Name: Someone New
Guess I better come clean
I was lying through my teeth
You know that I was getting downright mean
And you heard about enough excuses from me
To fill a magazine
It was getting hard to sleep
Because my talk was only cheap
But you're gonna be surprised
To hear me talking like I'm someone new

Was looking oh so cool
But I done enough crying all alone
To fill a king-size pool
Guess I had to find out the hard way baby
I was someone's fool
It was getting hard to sleep
Because my heart was on the street
You're gonna be surprised to find me
Walking like I'm someone new

Someone new got a hold of me
Someone new took control for me
And what I blew
It won't be held against me
Someone new is looking out for me
Someone who has got real love for me
But what's it to you
Are you gonna be the last to know
Are you gonna be the last to know

You think you're gonna be good
You think you're gonna try and save the world
Like some modern-day Robin Hood
Guess you're gonna find out the hard way babe
There's only one that could
It's getting too late to sleep
Why don't you come in off that street
Do you wanna be someone new
Someone new too

Someone new could take care of you
Someone new has got real love for you
It's up to you
What you gonna do yeah
Someone new looking out for you
Someone who is gonna care for you
But what's it to you
Are you gonna be the last to know
You don't wanna be the last to know
You could be someone new
Track Name: Something's Holding On
Your body's got a hold on me
Ohhhhh and it's hard to understand
How your flesh can take control of me
Ummmmm when I don't care that much for you

You're good for only nights
When I'm lonely with no place to go
Long as you leave before light
And I want to know why

Something's holding on
(I'd really rather be alone)
Something's holding on
(Don't want you for my very own)

You really whet my appetites
Ohhhhh and stimulate my glands
As long as what you wear looks right
Ummmmm and you keep to the shape I choose

Under covers we hide
Getting down to the real thing baby
Faking love we get tight
But I still want to know why

Something's holding on
Something's holding on
Something else is holding on
It's holding on so long
It's holding on so strong

Something's holding on
Something's holding on
Must be love that's holding on
But if you cut off all my fun
I'll be telling you 'so long'
Track Name: Your Pretty Baby
You make a choice
It's such an easy move
Nobody disapproves

You come unprepared
But to interrupt
Would surely be uncouth

And when your time comes 'round
And he's nowhere to be found
You wait for colour red

And when the ring you get
Is not the one you want
Then you begin to plot somebody's death
Thinking

Oh, your pretty baby won't know
Oh, Your pretty babe

Maybe another time
And another place
A boy or girl could grow

But now you just can't wait
You just can't wait
To let it go

You couldn't bear this thing
To save your life
Suppose you start to show

So you call the doctor
But who's gonna nurse away
The little voice inside when it cries
You'll curse this day
Track Name: Another Nail
I could have planned it on my calendar
I knew you would be leaving soon
The symptoms were so obvious
The seasons changed and so did you

When you tell me that you're having fun
Your eyes are full of tension
You got too close to someone new
Forgot the one who first loved you

Every day another nail is hammered

Waiting for a message
I know it will never come
Even with the ninety nine
I feel the loss of even one

No need to keep us in suspense
The seed has died through indifference
And now we'll reap what you sowed
I'll take my tears and let you go

Everyday another nail is hammered

...there were two walking in
the field on that judgement day
one was taken by surprise
as the other simply walked away...

Disaster after disaster

Everyday another nail is hammered
Track Name: Locked Inside This Moment (Ballad Version)
No man can tell what will happen to me and you
A voyage to paradise or a suicide rendezvous
I had a dream about you
And I thought you had a dream about me
I put my loneliness in a bottle
And I cast it to your sea

And locked inside this moment is a dream come true
Caught inside this heart of mine is a love for you

So are you happy with the excuses that you sent
Your words were hiding the words you really meant
You don't believe in us together
I don't believe in us apart
You thought you wrote us off forever
But there's a sleepless love in my heart

And locked inside this moment is a dream come true
Caught inside this heart of mine is a love for you

You don't believe in us together
I don't believe in us apart
You thought you wrote us off forever
But there's a sleepless love in my heart

And locked inside this moment is a dream come true
Caught inside this heart of mine is a love for you
Track Name: Locked Inside This Moment (Rock Version)
No man can tell what will happen to me and you
A voyage to paradise or a suicide rendezvous
I had a dream about you
And I thought you had a dream about me
I put my loneliness in a bottle
And I cast it to your sea

And locked inside this moment is a dream come true
Caught inside this heart of mine is a love for you

So are you happy with the excuses that you sent
Your words were hiding the words you really meant
You don't believe in us together
I don't believe in us apart
You thought you wrote us off forever
But there's a sleepless love in my heart

And locked inside this moment is a dream come true
Caught inside this heart of mine is a love for you

You don't believe in us together
I don't believe in us apart
You thought you wrote us off forever
But there's a sleepless love in my heart

And locked inside this moment is a dream come true
Caught inside this heart of mine is a love for you
Track Name: Someone New (12" Version)
Guess I better come clean
I was lying through my teeth
You know that I was getting downright mean
And you heard about enough excuses from me
To fill a magazine
It was getting hard to sleep
Because my talk was only cheap
But you're gonna be surprised
To hear me talking like I'm someone new

Was looking oh so cool
But I done enough crying all alone
To fill a king-size pool
Guess I had to find out the hard way baby
I was someone's fool
It was getting hard to sleep
Because my heart was on the street
You're gonna be surprised to find me
Walking like I'm someone new

Someone new got a hold of me
Someone new took control for me
And what I blew
It won't be held against me
Someone new is looking out for me
Someone who has got real love for me
But what's it to you
Are you gonna be the last to know
Are you gonna be the last to know

You think you're gonna be good
You think you're gonna try and save the world
Like some modern-day Robin Hood
Guess you're gonna find out the hard way babe
There's only one that could
It's getting too late to sleep
Why don't you come in off that street
Do you wanna be someone new
Someone new too

Someone new could take care of you
Someone new has got real love for you
It's up to you
What you gonna do yeah
Someone new looking out for you
Someone who is gonna care for you
But what's it to you
Are you gonna be the last to know
You don't wanna be the last to know
You could be someone new
Track Name: Jesus
Jesus
Help me find my proper place
Jesus
Help me find my proper place
Help me in my weakness
'Cuz I've fallen out of grace

Jesus, Jesus
Track Name: Tattoo
You're the one with the perfect skin
Unscarred by any passion
I'm the man who's wondering
If I'm just this year's fashion
If you say I'm written on your life
And your eyes are wide open
If you say I'm written on your soul
Then write me on your skin

Tattoo
Tattoo me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo me on you

Don't make me no promises
Don't wear a ring for me
'Cuz you'll take it off your finger
When you think no one can see
And I don't care if we're not
Together in the end
But if you say I'm written on your soul
Then write me on your skin

Tattoo
Tattoo me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo me on you

It doesn't have to be my name
It doesn't have to by my silhouette
You'll think of something
Use your own alphabet
People are gonna ask questions
They're gonna want a story
What are you gonna tell them
Tell them about me
Tell them about me

I don't think that the perfect life
Is coming through without a scratch
If your inside is worth knowing
Then your outside reads like a map
Now this might hurt a little
New lives begin with little pains
But if I'm written on your soul
Then write me on your skin

Tattoo
Tattoo me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo me on you
