CHASE THE DRAGON

Gotta stop the fire burning
Save me from the searing heat now baby
Gotta stop the fire burning
Give me back my soul so I can move my feet

You know your moving slow,
You got to keep your body low
Moving slowly like the breeze,
Try to set your mind at ease

You Chase the Dragon

You feel the hunger in your soul,
Got no time for Rock'n'roll
You've got to taste your favorite bite,
See the other side of night

Watch out! Fever gonna get you
Gotta stop the Dragon coming
Watch out! Fever gonna get you
Give me back my soul so I can move my feet

You Chase the Dragon

Watch out! Fever gonna get you
Save me from the searing heat now baby
Watch out! Fever gonna get you
Give me back my soul so I can move my feet
Watch out! Fever gonna get you
Gotta stop the Dragon coming
Watch out! Fever gonna get you
Give me back my soul so I can move my feet

You Chase the Dragon

You spend your time in life alone
You've got to lie your fingers to the bone
Got no time to say your sorry - You chase!
You care about nobody - Mistake!

You Chase the Dragon

HAND OF THE COMMON MAN

Standing in the doorway just look at that frown
Little baby's been cryin
Living life your own way been bringing you down
Seems like all your times spent busy trying...
Crying, Slowly dying...
Til you've faded away
Another jewel upon the sand
And in all your life of stolen yesterdays
No-one ever once reached out their hand
There is no common plan

But I can stand in the light tonight
Take the time so I can sleep at night
We need to make a plan
Thats gonna fill the heart of the common man
Alone we can only fall down
But together we can stand on the common ground
We need to make a plan and then
Put it in the hand of the common man

We all talk about it but does anybody care?
Little baby's still cryin'
We all go our own way but the pain is always there
We're all so busy with our lyin'...
Buyin', wastin' all our time
Til the world that we see
is just a fog upon a shoreline
And it seems now that evermore I spend my days
Just finding ways to try and ease my mind
I do it all the time

Chorus - Break - Out chorus X 2 fin.

LOST YOUTH

So you think your street-wise
Hidden behind your sweet disguise
I'll be frank (and I hope you dont mind)
But you've got it all wrong and
Your way outa line and it wont be long
Til little baby cries
And then we'll witness your demise
And you'll blame it on another
and run home to your mother
Or perhaps an old lover

And the Drugs that you take
really mess with your head
Cos it's life you cant take
but maybe that wish to be dead
will come true
It all comes down to whats inside of you

I see another childs brain
just refusing to learn
Who thinks life is a game
and time is to burn
And when the whole damn mess
blows up in your face
Will you look to someone else
or will you learn by your mistakes

And the Drugs that you take really mess with your head
And life is slipping away now your mind has been bled
Its time you knew
It all comes down to whats inside of you

Your living in a whirlpool
Thats floating through time
You cant see the reason
And cant find the rhyme
You dont have a care
For knowing the truth
You think that you've been there
Just another lost youth

And the Drugs that you take really mess with your head
And now you've got to lay down there where you made your bed
You know it's true
In the end it comes back home to you

 

EMPTY PALACES

Last night I watched the world on my TV
Images of greatness, as viewed by mediocrity
Switching stations balances my day
As I watch my time just slip away

Cos I was not created for this idle life
It’s not the way I'd planned for it to be
But even kings seek distant dreams
It seems to be the scheme of things
Imprisoned in their Empty Palace
Waiting to be free
Waiting to be free

My work is my friend, I can think of nothing else to do
It holds back the hungry dogs barking for their food
I must have paid the band by now and soon my time will come
To kick away these tired old shoes and dance with everyone

And I was not created for this idle life
It’s not the way I'd planned for it to be
But even Kings seek distant dreams
It seems to be like you and me
Imprisoned in this Palace here with you
Both wanting to be free
Wanting to be free

Morning brings a brand new day
Forced to pack my bags again, I'm on my way
I am who I am but I feel I've been resigned
To spend my days upon the road and drift away the time

And I was not created for this idle life
It’s not the way I'd planned for it to be
But even kings seek distant dreams
And wish they could do other things
Imprisoned in their Empty Palaces
Just waiting to be free
Waiting to be free

Last night I watched the world on my TV
Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinski

 

SOCIAL STATEMENTS

I don’t know what to tell you
I don’t have all of the answers
People think to buy and sell you
and we all just have to take our chances

and social statements don’t mean much
just personal innuendo’s
People use them as a crutch
Cos they cant see which way the wind blows

I should be living without a care
Just need a place to call my home
Where I can sit there breathing in this morning air
And learn the lessons I’ve been shown

cos social statements don’t mean much
just personal innuendo’s
People use them as a crutch
Cos they cant see which way the wind blows

See my father, see my son
I see my face in their reflections
I see their faces in everyone
But still I don’t make the connections

And so we look but only see so far
I just don’t know what to tell you
I don’t know what the answers are
I only hope you’ll listen when I tell you

That social statements don’t mean much
They're just personal innuendo’s
Most people use them as a crutch
Cos they cant see which way the wind blows
No social statement’s don’t mean much
They’re just personal innuendo’s
Most people use them as a crutch
cos they cant see which way the wind blows

 

ONE YEAR AWAY

Here I stand with nothing left in Hand
got nothing left to say
But then I guess you never really liked our band
Or what we used to play
Still I don’t ever think I'll understand
Why you went away
Why I'm left alone again to make another plan
And find another way

You took the Stage on opening night
The way you stole the show
We made music until daylight
You let the melody flow

And now another year has passed
And still nobody's won
I thought that we could put things in the past
and just go back to having fun
but deep into the ocean I've been cast
Back where it all begun
Sometime time moves so fast
when your having fun

chorus

And now as I lay in my bed
And the world passes by
Images running through my head
My eyes open wide
And all those signs I never read
are like the stars in the sky
And all those things I never said to you
words lost in time

chorus
