Can I feel your hair soft on wet skin

Deep inside I bleed from the blade within

Can I reach the burning, burning moon

Can I change this madness, lust consume

Breathing out and breathing in - begin



Suddenly I wake from a calling sweat

Blood red water on my head

Was I only dreaming the flesh so real

What would another good sin reveal



Breathing out and breathing in

I can't fight the drug within

Feel the first hit to the heart



You're my shot, your my obsession

Hear the voices say

I can't turn and walk away - yeah

You're my shot, your my obsession

Hear the voices



Oh - how I need to hold onto fire to win

Pumping through my veins love's adrenalin

Can you hear those voices



Breathing out and breathing in

I can't fight the drug within

Feel the first hit to the heart



You're my shot, your my obsession

Hear the voices say

I can't turn and walk away - yeah

You're my shot, your my obsession

Hear the voices say

In the movement of the waves

Feel the rushing of the wind

You're in everything I see



Like a visionaries dream

Preaching to the silence

It's waiting for me



Like a moon under the water

There's a sky under the sea

This world is like an ocean

An it's drowning me

There's a moon under the water



Throw a stone into the pool

See the ripples run forever

And, time, for longer still



See the moon under the water

And the sky under the sea

This world is like an ocean

An it's drowning me



There's a moon under the water

There's a sky under the sea

She sends her smile by satellite

Steaming up the screen at night

Got the mouth, knows how to squeeze

Every line of make-believe

In the flesh, just like a dream

Fingers touch the fantasy

To hold so close, her lips near mine

Bodies on the borderline



Oh, when the lights went down

I held my breath

But she held the freeze frame



Love like the video

Why can't she love like the video



Captured hot on thirty-five

Tempting all to idolise

Leading lady, pleading man

Picture post, L.A., Cannes

Every take is just like the first

Every fake so well rehearsed

Passions are the cruelest part

Deception in the coolest heart



Oh, when the lights went down

I held my breath

But she held the freeze frame



Love like the video

Why can't she love like the video

Walking down the avenue

Every step I take I see you

There's nothing more that I can do

To hold back from crying



It's not that I don't have the time

To hear your voice would only cost a dime

I'm gonna save myself a dime

And you know why



'Cos in the night, when you're alone

And there is no one you can turn to

As you're reaching for the phone



Don't come to me

I won't be there you see

You turned this heart to stone

Now you'll walk alone

So don't come to me



How did I get left this way?

I must have been born yesterday

Every single word you'd say

Were lies, lies, lies



Still walking down that avenue

Every step I take I see you

There's nothing more that I can do

To hold back from crying



Don't come to me

'Cos I won't be there you see

You turned this heart to stone

Now you'll walk alone

So don't come to me

Hey you, you're walking down a New York street

Feel the tension in the midday heat

You're walking on blood

TV, it's all there on a Japanese screen

East, West, there's no in between

Now, we just love "The Reds"



Everything is now because the past is dead

You've got to look forward if you want to get ahead

What kind of person sells a young person drugs?

You bring them up good but don't call them thugs

Third world stories, well they make the news

It's a five minute wonder, call it...



Satellite blues

Any way the wind blows



Dive, dive! Underground is just the place to be

So cool, it keeps the city clean

Now walk on by



I said "Walk, walk, don't run!"

Don't you know you've got to follow the signs?

This life's so cruel, so cruel to be kind

It's a one-way street



You've got to live on the edge just to make a big deal

This life's big fun, man, it's like a roulette wheel

What kind of world would let these children die?

There's so much money we could all retire

We could all live happily if we choose

But it's a five minute wonder, call it...



Satellite blues

Any way the wind blows

She cried to the southern wind

About a love that was sure to end

Every dream in her heart was gone

Headin' for a showdown



Bad dreamer, what's your name

Looks like we're ridin' on the same train

Looks as though there'll be more pain

There's gonna be a showdown



And it's rainin all over the world

It's raining all over the world

Tonight, the longest night



She came to me like a friend

She blew in on a southern wind

Now my heart is turned to stone again

There's gonna be a showdown



Save me, oh save me

It's unreal, the suffering

There's gonna be a showdown



And it's rainin all over the world

It's raining all over the world

Tonight the longest night

I told her, I'd hold her

All through that first cold winter

Defend her, protect her

From our darkest demons



Then spring came, our world changed

We found a different corner

Still heading, still searching

For what we had that season



I thought I was so strong, a man on a blue mountain

The sword in my hand, but my thoughts in the clouds then

See them

Hear them



I would never change another day

If that season was the one to stay

I swear I'd never change another day



Ten years now, I've waited

For that coldest winter

No whiter, no wiser

And all we hear is thunder



I thought I was so strong, a father on a mountain

The sword in my hand, but my thoughts in the clouds then

See them

Hear them



I would never change another day

If that season was the one to stay

I swear I'd never change another day

(Repeat)



Ten years now, I've waited

For that coldest winter

No wiser, no whiter

Oh how I miss that season

You said time would heal all the scars inside,

But hurt seems to grow not die

No matter how I try

I regret the things that I've said

Can't forget the words you misread that night

I know I was unkind

Sitting here all alone

How I wish I could change the past

Feelings hidden, unshown

Behind the mask



Can't stop the rain from falling

Can't stop the world from turning

Can't take the cold, the hurting

Can't tell these walls I'm missing you



Fallen down, can I pick myself up from the ground?

Look at the face of this clown

I've tried to hide the tears

Sitting here all alone

How I wish I could change the past

Is there ever a chance?

Still the river flows



Can't stop the rain from falling

Can't stop the world from turning

Can't take the cold, the hurting

Can't tell these walls I'm missing you

There is no comeback from the big divide

Maybe there's a future to be found waiting on the other side

If it's illusion, then what is real?

In life's confusion, take what you can

Fight it till you reach the goal.



And the higher you climb you can fall

But never look down

And the faster you run, it's a crawl

To the end of the line.



Seems all directions lead to one place

There are no signposts guiding me

It takes a long time to see



And the higher you climb you can fall

But never look down

And the faster you run, it's a crawl

To the end of the line.



The age of reason has come and gone

The changing seasons move on and on until you reach the goal



And the higher you climb you can fall

But never look down

And the faster you run, it's a crawl

To the end of the line.

He kept it all inside - alive and screaming

Tears were not his style, his pride was leading



I watched the light dancing on the sea

As it turned to grey

Oh, how I wish that the tide would soon return

Someday, someday



I've a right to cry

That's not giving in

Scars from you and I, scars we kept within

There's a right to cry, it's not giving up

With my right to cry, now I've had enough



It's hard to break the bones of life, of living

A side you'll never show, let go, don't need it



Hold on, hold on, hold on

I can see in your eyes and I know how you're going to feel



I watched the light dancing on the sea

As it turned to grey

Oh, how I wish that the tide would soon return

Someday, someday



I've a right to cry

That's not giving in

Scars from you and I, scars we kept within

There's a right to cry, it's not giving up

With my right to cry, now I've had enough
