Don't Wanna Know 'Bout Evil
Faith Will Carry
Yesterday's Gone
She Cries Your Name
When You Wake
Roll The Dice
City Blue
The Prisoner
Where Do You Go
Release Me

DON'T WANNA KNOW 'BOUT EVIL

(Knowledge is power)

Sometimes it gets so hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps me down to size

I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love

(Knowledge is power)

I'm waitin' for the planes to tumble
Waitin' for the towns to fall
I'm waitin' for the cities to crumble
Waitin' till I see you crawl

I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love

And yes it's getting hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hyp-n-o-tized

I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love...

FAITH WILL CARRY

You touched my hand
Said, "Follow me
I'll be your eyes when you cannot see"
Now the only blindness that I'm gonna choose
Is ignorance to all your misuse

There was a time when you held all the cards
And you delt them all evenly 'cause I couldn't see
You read my mind
Left yourself so hard to find
I thought you knew me better than I knew myself

Spend your time cutting me down
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [I'll be your eyes]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry

I could try talkin' to you but I already learned all I need to
Spend your time cutting me down
Don't listen to a word then you throw me a frown
To catch the eye of a stranger is nothing new
I was just waitin' for something to do
It was a twisted pair but now I'm through

Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [said it's faith that will carry]
Spend your time cutting me down [I'll be your eyes]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you read my mind]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [left yourself so hard to find]
Spend your time cutting me down [I thought you knew me better]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [than I knew myself]

You touched my hand
Said, "Follow me
I'll be your eyes when you cannot see"
Now the only blindness that I'm gonna choose
Is ignorance to all your misuse

It's faith that will carry
It's faith that will carry

You read my mind
Left yourself so hard to find
I thought you knew me better than I knew myself

Spend your time cutting me down
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [said, "Follow me]
Spend your time cutting me down [I'll be your eyes"]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you read my mind]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [left yourself so hard to find]
Spend your time cutting me down [I thought you knew me better]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [than I knew myself]

You touched my hand
Said, "Follow me
I'll be your eyes when it's plain to see it's faith that will carry"

YESTERDAY'S GONE

Look at the priest and the blood and the fire??
Weighted down with metal, I wonder why?
Haven't we moved further in time
Haven't we advanced along the line

Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Blind chances of destiny

Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Blind chances of destiny

Isn't it the scheme of love to take
Wouldn't my life remain the same
Wonder if my God could take the blame
Time's the only voodoo dreams can change

Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Blind chances of destiny

Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Blind chances of destiny

Let your mind go free

Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Blind chances of destiny

Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Blind chances of destiny

SHE CRIES YOUR NAME

Falling from the western selves
To find yourself alone again
Wonderin' where you have been
Your lonely voice
Calls across the star lit coast
Reaching out to be seen

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?

Scratch beneath the surface screen
Of what we say and what we seem
Is there truth to be seen?
She's cryin' out your name
But her scream sounds the same
How fickle fate can be

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?

Birds which scream for territory
Can learn to sing euphorically
Given time that is revealed??
There's a wasteland in his soul
The burned out trees will leave you cold
Living out beside the hill

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?

She cries your name
Twelve times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?

WHEN YOU WAKE

When you wake in the morning
?? blue
See the sun replace the moon
It isn't hard to do

When the light shines
Everything you are
And the light shines
It's there for you my love

Doo-dah-doo...

When you wake in the morning
Leave the shadows where they lie
Make the changes right away
Tomorrow is today

When the light shines
Everything you are
And the light shines
It's there for you my love

Doo-dah-doo...

ROLL THE DICE

She said I put a spell on you
He said there's nothin' I could do
And I wouldn't love the way I do if I didn't know that it was true
And I'd never love the way I do since I began losing you
And nothing can compare to when you roll the dice and you swear your loves for me
And she don't know if she can keep it together forever

She said I only want to possess you, it's dangerous
He said I only try to impress you, it's strangeness
And I wouldn't love the way I do if I didn't know that it was true
And I'd never love the way I do since I began losing you
Nothing can compare to when you roll the dice and you swear your loves for me
And she don't know if she can keep it together forever
And nothing can compare to when you roll the dice and you swear your loves for me
And she don't know if she can keep it together forever

CITY BLUE

It was the sound of the city that was making me blue
I kept hearing it and I'd think of you
Wherever you go and whatever you do I'll be with you
I'll be with you

It was the sound of the city that was making me blue
I kept hearing it and I'd think of you
Wherever you go and whatever you do I'll be with you
I'll be with you

THE PRISONER

Summer's burning (up inside)
Left alone (to gag then tie)
Here comes the rain
Just when you never thought you'd lose your way again

When it's so wrong
It has to be, nobody has won
We will soon be free
The prisoner is history
We will soon be free
The prisoner is history

Yea...

You've been lost and you've been found
This time you've gotta stand your ground
Here comes your train
Just when you never thought you'd catch that ride again

When it's so wrong
It has to be, everybody's gone
We will soon be free
The prisoner is history
We will soon be free
The prisoner is history

Yea...

WHERE DO YOU GO

Now when I need you
You're nowhere around
Just when I'm going then
You're taking a trip down town
How do you fly so far
With the world in disguise
Do the people around you
Put you to where they need you

Where do you go
When the wind doesn't blow
Are you still like the trees
Only bend with a breeze

I long to smell you
To feel you within
I need you near to me
Just the touch of your skin
I want to hear you
And tell you again
But so much can happen
Makes it harder to explain

Where do you go
When the wind doesn't blow
Are you still like the trees
Only bend with a breeze

You think I need no one
You're always around
Turning on a sixpence
Locked in the crowd
Now when I need you
You're nowhere around
Just when I'm going down
You're takin' a trip down town

Where do you go
When the wind doesn't blow
Are you still like the trees
Only bend with a breeze

RELEASE ME

That we must fly is a ?? thing
And nothin' can stay forever locked in
I'll take your blame like a ball and a chain
I'll wear it 'round my neck
I won't feel no shame

Breakin' waves on the shore
It turned then fade once more
Release me from this love
If it's ours it'll come
Release me from this love
If it's ours it'll come
Release me
Release me from this love

Don't want no sympathy
Draggin' me down
Makin' me sorry
When we can wake up and see
All that we never knew to be

Breakin' waves on the shore
It turned then fade once more
Release me from this love
(Release me from this love)
If it's ours it'll come
Release me from this love
(Set me free with your love)
If it's ours it'll come
Release me
Release me from this love

Breakin' waves on the shore
It turned then fade once more
Release me from this love
(Release me from this love)
If it's ours it'll come
Release me from this love
(Set me free with your love)
If it's ours it'll come
Release me from this love
(Release me from this love)
If it's ours it'll come
(Release me from this love)
(Set me free with your love)
If it's ours it'll come
Release me
Release me from this love
Release me
Set me free with your love

Yeah...
