1.KING OF KINGS

Met Jesus up on a hill
He confessed I was dressed to kill
Saw fear eternal in his eyes
He's seen what happens when the soul dies

I'm the king of kings
Wearing broken wings
I've lost my crown
The world so far below
And all I really know
Is that you don't look down

Came alive in the dead of night
Sought salvation in the city lights
One more drink then one drink more
Every hour like the one before

I'm the king of kings
Wearing broken wings
I've lost my crown
The world so far below
And all I really know
Is that you don't look down
Don't look down
It's such a long way to fall

Came alive in the dead of night
Sought salvation in the city lights
One more drink then one drink more
Every hour like the one before

You're like me, and I'm like you
Can't see the point in a point of view
All time lows we're hitting the high
Two wrongs trying to make it alright

I'm the king of kings
Wearing broken wings
I've lost my crown
The world so far below
And all I really know
Is that you don't look down


2. SUPERMELLOW MAN

Will you walk through my storm
Can I be your one and only
Will you talk me through 'till dawn
Never felt so lost and lonely
When night turns into morning
And you don't know how long you must wait
As life came without warning
Your destiny will come too late
In the pool of my life
Kissing the ground that made me
Ancient rules wrong from right
Wish I'd found you when you could save me

When night turns into morning
And you don't know how long you must wait
As life came without warning
Your destiny will come too late
Can it ever be the same
Will we ever dream again
Walk through the sweet, sweet pain of love
No one ever broke the bough
The cradle fell anyhow
There's angels in the thunder clouds, above

When night turns into morning
And you don't know how long you must wait
As life came without warning
Your destiny will come too late
Kiss the ground


3. HIDE AND SEEK

Hide and seek, cloak and find
All the colours in your mind
Tied together, Sunday's clown
Traced and feathered, laced and bound

It's you now
Everybody's looking for you now
I know you know we know I'm going down
Help me get my feet back off the ground
Come with me and I will show
What not to be, where not to go
Chase the shadows, through black holes
Find the darkness, in your soul

It's me now
Everybody says it was me now
Everybody's looking for me now
I know you know we know I'm going down
Help me get my feet back off the ground
I know you know we know I'm going down
Help me get my head back in the clouds

Hide and seek, cloak and find
All the colours in your mind
Tied together, Sunday's clown
Traced and feathered, laced and bound
I know you know we know I'm going down
Help me get my feet back off the ground
I know you know we know I'm going down
Help me get my head back in the clouds


4. MAKE ME SHINE

I'll be with you in your Summer
Winter Spring and Fall days
You and me, yeah we've got each other
I'll be there, always
Love it when you say
I'm the gold inside your goldmine
And I love the way
You just make me shine

When our ship hits stormy weather
We'll ride the tidal waves
You and me sailing seas together
In the same boat, always
Love it when you say
I'm the gold inside your goldmine
And I love the way
You just make me shine

I'll be with you in your Summer
Winter Spring and Fall days
You and me, yeah we've got each other
I'll be there, always
Love it when you say
I'm the gold inside your goldmine
And I love the way
You just make me shine


5. IT’S ALRIGHT

Somebody wants you
Someone out there
Somebody needs you
Somebody cares
Somebody loves you
Someone somewhere

But if nobody's there
Here they come again
Whispers in my head
Same old sad refrain
Wished I'd never said
What I said, yeah
Take me to the top
I need more not less
And don't ever tell me when to stop
Here comes tomorrow
And yesterday's news
Empty and hollow
Broken and bruised
No one to follow, nothing to lose
And only you can choose

Somebody wants you
Someone out there
Somebody needs you
Somebody cares
Somebody loves you
Someone somewhere
But if nobody's there


6. BURIED ALIVE

Buried alive
Person unknown
Dying inside
Half the way home

Somewhere under a Delvaux moon
Childhoods end came too soon
Came too soon
Don't want to know when
Don't wanna know why
Don't wanna believe that life is just to die
You were the one who sang lullabies
I'm still hanging out to dry, out to cry
Hey now, hey now
Don't you cry
It's just the dying of the light
Time to say our goodbyes
I'll look for you in that goodnight
Is anybody here
I wanna go out, the way I came in
My flame blowing out
In the Summer wind

Somewhere under a Delvaux moon
Childhoods end came too soon
Came too soon
Hey now, hey now
Don't you cry
It's just the dying of the light
Time to say our goodbyes
I'll look for you in that goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight


7. FLOWERS

I've been laying down the flowers
I've been waiting in the sun
I've been counting down the hours
One by one
One by one
I've been catching my reflection
I'm still looking at someone
Still perfecting imperfection
Like everyone
Every no one

I even saw it come
Knew the hit would run and run
And I, as it came undone
Knew that I'd lost everything
Everything I'd won
Here's to all the things we'll never
Here's to all we could have done
Here's to what became whatever
Whatever web we spun, web we spun

I even saw it come
Knew the hit would run and run
And I, as it came undone
Knew that I'd lost everything
Everything I'd won
I've been laying down the flowers
I've been waiting in the sun
I've been counting down the hours
One by one
One by one

I even saw it come
Knew the hit would run and run
And I, as it came undone
Knew that I'd lost everything
Everything I'd won


8. EVERYBODY KNOWS

Everybody knows, how your garden grows
Everybody knows, how your garden grows
Everyone can see, I'm blind as I can be

The woods look just like trees
Look like trees to me
And I don't even get it
I don't know what you're trying to say
You're never gonna let me forget it
It's always gonna get in the way
It's moving much too fast
You know it ain't gonna last
I think we're heading for a crash
Heading for a crash
It's coming to a natural end
I'm going round my last bend
There's something you just can't mend
Things you just can't mend
I can't even remember
I don't know what the day is today
You're putting the no in November
And taking all the yes out of May

Everybody knows, how your garden grows
Everybody knows, how your garden grows
Everyone can see, I'm blind as I can be

The woods look just like trees
Look like trees to me
And I don't even get it
I don't know what you're trying to say
You're never gonna let me forget it
It's always gonna get in the way


9. LIFE GOES ON

How do you stop yourself from
Falling apart and going under
Lost in a world that's got your
Name tag, name tagged and your number

One by one they will find you
Life goes on behind you
Behind you
When does it start to fade and
When do the roads start leading nowhere
When all your prayers have been prayed
That's when you know your dream is over

One by one they will find you
Life goes on behind you
Behind you
One of these days I'm gonna
Do as I say and do it my way
I'm gonna grow those wings
And learn to fly and hit the sky

One by one they will find you
Life goes on behind you
Behind you


10. AN ETERNITY TURNS

No hands on the wheel
Nothing can touch you
When you can't even feel
No one you can trust
Cos no one's for real
No one's for real
Father forget us
Or father forgive us
Giving us faith
And then calling us sinners
Mixing up the losers
With all of the winners
Tonight, yeah yeah yeah

Kneeling at the crossroads
All my bridges burning
Down the river my life flows
Took another wrong turning
Knows what she feels
But he's never felt her
Wanted a home
But he needed shelter
Never gonna win
With the hand he dealt her
Aces low tonight
Yeah yeah yeah

Kneeling at the crossroads
All my bridges burning
Down the river my life flows
Took another wrong turning
I will find you, I know you only want to share my pain
But I've got something weird
Pumping through my veins
Got the type of blood
That can't be changed
Can't be changed

Kneeling at the crossroads
All my bridges burning
Down the river my life flows
Took another wrong turning


11. BURN FOR ME

I'm water, swim to me
Be my fire, burn with me
One day, you'll see
After the Fall has fallen
One day, I'll be
The one your heart's still calling
I'm air, breathe with me
Be my prayer, believe in me

One night, you'll see
The moon and stars in motion
One night, your sea
Will melt into my ocean
I'm water, swim to me
Be my fire, burn for me
I'm going out

One day, you'll see
After the Fall has fallen
One day, I'll be
The one your heart's still calling
One night, you'll see
The moon and stars in motion
One night, your sea
Will melt into my ocean
