1. A THOUSAND WORDS


We stumble in a tangled web,
decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid,
all hope of salvage now devoid
I see truth inside your eyes
So take all this noise into your brain
and send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call
you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud
You could resurrect a thousand
words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the
reasons why I don't need you
anymore
Time manipulates your heart,
preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract convictions read
i may perplex, but I'm not blind
So take all this noise into your brain
and send it back again
i'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call
you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud
You could resurrect a thousand
words to deceive me more and more
a thousand words will give the
reasons why I don't need
you anymore
I'll say the words out loud I'll say a
thousand words or more
Manipulation. fabrication.
conversation. Annihialation.
I'll say a thousand words or more
damnation. frustration. Elevation.
Procreation
I'll say a thousand words or more
You could ressurect a thousand
words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the
reasons why I don't need
you anymore...

2. I DON'T CARE



I ride this train
in the windswept afternoon
and the sunlight warms the faces
of the faithless who are waiting
I ride this train
but I need a conversation
Mozambique or was it Veronique?
how about you pick the subject
and I'll listen to you?

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care, I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care, no I don't care

I ride this train
in a dream-like state of mind
through a field of frozen memories
imagination racing
I ride this train
but I need to make connections
no I wasn't staring
I was only trying
to get some substance
to get some meaning

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care, no I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
well I don't care, no I don't care

people tell me that I feel too much
oh no cause I don't care
no I just don't care anymore
I will ride this train

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care, no I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care, no I just don't care

people tell me that I feel too much
oh no cause I don't care
no I just don't care anymore
as I ride this train

as I ride this train
as I ride this train
keep on riding this train
as I ride this train
as I ride this train
oooh

3. LOVE CAN MOVE YOU



Get me through the heart of the freeway
I got to see the lights up in New York city
I'm so close I think I can hear the sound of the taxi siren symphony
Don't you want to feel amazing?
Baby you know I do
You'll get back ten times what you give freely
Like my mamma told me
Love can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part of life
Climb into the heart of the subway
Creepin' like a snake into New York city
I'm so close I think I can see those lights
Let the sun get closer to the ground
Don't you want to feel amazing?
Baby you know I do
You'll get back ten times what you give freely
Like my mamma told me
Love can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part of life
It's about the one thing
It's about the one thing
About the kind of shoes your wearin'
About religion
And I breathe the love you've given
And I feel the love you've hidden
And though it's cold down here well I can honestly say
I can still stay
That love can move you
Love can move you, baby
Love can move you
That love can move you too child
Love can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part
Love can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part
And I breathe the love you've given
And I feel the love you've hidden
And though it's cold down here well I still, I still try
Love can move you
You know that love can move you too child
Love can move you
You know that love can move you
And I breathe the love you've given
And I feel the love you've hidden
It's cold down here but I still, I still say...

4. TEARS OF PEARLS



And we stare each other down like victims in the grind.
Probing all the weaknesses and hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls, We do it, Oh we do it.
Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside.
Make you cry......these tears of pearls.
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world.
Your kisses are like pearls, so different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away and love has left you bare
Made you cry.....These tears of oearls.
Well I could be a tired joker
pour my heart to get you in
sacrifice my happiness just so i could win.
Mybe cry these tears of pearls.
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world.
We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death....
The death of you.
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world.

5. HOLD ME



Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defenses
And secret hiding places

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

Hey
More than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
Well I want to scream
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a gold diamond ring?
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the nighttime
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just run through our lives
So alone
That's why you've got to hold me

Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

6. CHAINED TO YOU

We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time
Sweet temptation rush all over me
And I think about it all the time
Passion desire so intense I can't take anymore because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you

And when you looked into my eyes felt a sudden sense of urgency
Fascination casts a spell and you became more than just a mystery
And I think about you all the time
Is this fate is it my destiny
That I think about you all the time
I no longer pretend to have my hand on the wheel because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
I feel the magic building around you

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you

And I think about it all the time
And I think about it all the time
Tell me it's madness I barely know you
We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me
Ten steps back you're still a mystery
Acting live a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
I can't take anymore because

I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you

I feel the magic building around you
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you

Tell me it's madness
I barely know you

7. I KNEW I LOVED YOU



I Knew I Loved You lyrics
Songwriters: Jones, Daniel; Hayes, Darren;
Hmm ohh, I will come
Maybe it's intuition
Somethings you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes, I think I've found my best friend

I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only a sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for, I think I've found my way home

I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo ohh
A thousand angels dance around you
(Ooh hoo, hoo ooo hoo ooo hoo hoo hoo)
I am complete now that I have found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
(Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo)
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
(Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo hoo)
I knew I loved you before I met you
(Oh oh, ohh ohh, oh oh oh ay ay yea oh)
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
I knew I loved you before I met you..

8. PROMISES



Well don't you know I need a little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becoming hunted
Every day there's a million advances
Don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
Well don't you know time is a broken glass
That splinter against the wall?
But the picture is coming back now baby,
And I want to take it all
(Chorus)
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be the thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
So let your body move a little bit closer
Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
Don't you know that powerful thinking
Can be a force you dont wan't to relinquish?
Well don't you know that,
They say that hanging on will justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase
(Chorus)
Well I'm only hanging on for what goes down
I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade
So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell
'Cause when it comes down to the making
You better be damned sure you can take it
Hey baby
(Chorus)
Time will be the thief and you fallen king will end up...
A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool
Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby
