Astra

Dig for victory, go for gold 

I don't wanna die before I get old 

And I wonder where I'm going to 

There's some way out, there's some way through 

But I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm down again 

My direction is changing, which way, 

Which way can I go... 



Get up and go 



You start me up, you slow me down 

No one can deny you get around 

When you're hot, you're cold, you're in between 

Asking myself what does it mean? 

And I walk that tightrope, you should know 

I'm losing my balance, maybe, 

Maybe I should go... 



Get up and go 



Face to face in sympathy 

But now you turn your back on me 

Turn a card and win, but you may lose 

Fate only has that right to choose 

If you're right, leave me here, I'll die alone 

You've got the time, you've just got time 

You got the time just go... 



Get up and go 

Go 



Just go...

I heard you on the radio 

Some other time 

From some forgotten studio 

Way down the line 

So long, so long I've waited now 

To hear you again 

That song, that song will still remain 

Become an old friend 

And now, the tears are in my eyes 

The sound you can't disguise 

The truth comes back from lies 

And all I want to hear 



Voice of America, ooh, America 

Voice of America, ooh, America 



And then you came in stereo 

Calling to me 

And so I watch the videos 

Across the T.V. 

That sound, still ringing in my ears 

From a decade ago 

Around, around my head, the sound from my radio 

I thought, that after all these years 

The tears, the growing fears 

That I would never hear 

Never again 



Voice of America, ooh, America 

Voice of America, ooh, America

A secret smile 

Comes to my eyes like a bolt from the blue 

It's not your style 

But it leads me to dream about what we could do 



Could it be the same 

(Could it be the same) 

Ever be the same 

(When I call your name) 

Could it be the same again 

Ever the same again? 



It's hard on me 

And I know, nothing comes easy 

But it's hard on you 

Believe me, baby it's hard on me 



A trick of light 

Your face in the shadows alone in the night 

You're in my sights 

All I've been thinking I know that it's right 



See you standing there 

(See you standing there) 

Magic in the air 

(Magic in the air) 

Now the smoke has cleared 

Time has disappeared 



It's hard on me 

But you know, nothing comes easy 

But it's hard on you 

I need you, always believe me 



Could it be the same?

(Could it be the same) 

Ever be the same 

(When I call your name) 

Could it be the same 

Ever the same again? 



It's hard on me 

But I know, nothing comes easy 

But it's hard on you 

I need you, always believe me 



It's hard on me 

But you know, nothing comes easy 

But it's hard on you 

I've hurt you before 

Now please don't make it hard on me

Wishing, hoping 

How can I keep coping? 

Till I know your wish is to be with me 



You go, I know 

You were the one who told me so 

I'm wishing you lying in my arms again 



Sad, so sad 

It's written across my face 

My tears leave no trace 

They fall and disappear 



Mad, so mad 

Leaving you on your own 

You're right to disown me 

WIll always be so clear 



Wishing, so long 

How can I keep holding on? 

While missing you, wishing you home again 



Sad, so sad 

It's written across my face 

My tears leave no trace 

They fall and disappear 



Mad, so mad 

Leaving you on your own 

You're right to disown me 

WIll always be so clear 



Wishing...

Rock and roll dream 

Not what it seems 

Who is the dreamer now? 



When I see the faces from the limousine 

No chance of our survival 

Armed forces, guardians of the law 

Awaiting our arrival 



They all are young 

We all were young 

And I've seen this place before 

Open up the door 

Let us in 



All the things I've seen 

Words I said, I didn't mean 

Feelings, I took for granted 

But now reality 

One thing we could never see 

Everything, we always wanted 



They all are young 

We all were young 

And I've seen this place before 

Open up the door 

Let us in 



{chorus} 



If I had the choice 

Words came through my voice 

I should have left unspoken 

Now it's obvious 

Clear to all of us 

The dream that now is broken



Take the stage tonight 

Go face the lights 

With this image you should keep 

You're crying in your sleep 

Tonight 



{chorus}

The night is cold, the sun is down 

I see faces through the wire 

No chance for them 

No shoulder left to cry on 



It's 4 am out on the street 

Through the smoke I see the fire 

It's a funeral pyre 

For them to die on 



{chorus} 

Countdown to zero 

Just begun 

Coundown to zero 

It's time to start the run 



The city lights are fading now 

As I climb into the plane 

To shield me from 

The stinging acid rain 



And this is it, it's over now 

As we taxi down Runway One 

Tell me please 

You'll wake me when it's over 



{chorus} 



Do you realize what's happening in Western Europe? 

Norway, Finland, Scotland, England 

We will be the first to go 

Don't do it 



{chorus} 



Don't do it 

Don't do it 

Don't start the countdown to zero 

We want to live 

We want to live 

We will live 

You've got your finger on the trigger 

Take it off 

Let it go 

Let it pass 

Let it go

I say, no way 

You've gone and stepped across that fine line 

I cried, you lied 

I tried, maybe a thousand times before 

I can't take no more 



{chorus} 

Too late 

You let the sun go down 

Too late 

You changed direction 

Too late 

For you to turn around 

We tried everything 



Move on, so long 

Two side to every story 

You told, good nights 

bad days, time to go out separate ways 

I can't say no more 



{chorus x2}

Where were you yesterday? 

I called you up 

No one answered 



The phone rings now 

All the time 

I pick it up 

No one answers 



I know it seems like I just can't go ahead 

Sometimes it's like holding a gun to my head 

I get the green light but I'm still seeing red 

Something I can't stand 



Suspicion 

Suspicion 



In the park, yesterday 

I saw a face that spelled danger 

A friendly smile, a worried look 

I mistook for a stranger 



I keep on fighting and I know I can't win 

Something's biting me I'll never give in 

Coming back to me again and again 

The message in my hand 



Suspicion 

Suspicion 



Eating away at me, it won't let go 

Suspicion is following, everywhere I go 

He walks before me, he's someone that I don't know 



Suspicion 

Suspicion



Where were you yesterday? 

Where will you be tomorrow?

For those that are able 

To go underground 

Missiles disenable 

They hit faster than sound 

They're coming and you have no choice 

The helpless with one human foice 

That will categorically say 

This underdog will have his day 



One more dead is one more than it ought to be 

A travesty 

One more missed will be kissed to eternity 

Or purgatory 



After the war 



Red button he's pressing 

But he knows not why 

He's programming orders 

War lights up the sky 

He's on the hotline tonight 

His mind is high as a kite 

His fingers decide wrong or right 

This man has it all in his sights 



Used as tools to believe in autonomy 

Minorities are no more 

Men are fools, one last cry to humanity 

No sanity any more 



After the war 



On my arm, a tattoo for my sons to be 

That numbers you and me 

There's a scar on my face 

That is photographed for all to see 



After the war

Now, the party's over 

It's you and I, just you and I 

Now, the guests have gone 

It's one on one, one on one 



Which way now, will the eagle fly? 

Tell me how, will the starts shine in the sky 



{chorus} 

Love now till eternity 

Shooting for the moon 

To put your hand in mine and say 

I vow to stay with you 



{chorus} 



You, you are my life 

And so I give, all that I can 

All, all that is left 

That you are woman, I am man 



Which way now, will the eagle fly? 

Tell me how, will the starts shine in the sky 



{chorus}
