1. THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

All set, court's in session
This judge, got no compassion
Witness, show me your right hand
I swear, nothing but the truth now

I was alright till she came along
I was alright, then it all went wrong

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh,oh
It was the act of a man possessed, now
The devil made me do it, oh, oh ,oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent

D.A.'s, got a mighty strong case
Lawman, saw the whole thing
Confess, yeah I stole that fur coat
Confess, yeah I stole a BMW
Confess, I was only trying, to keep my baby satisfied
Bullshit, that's the truth now
Bullshit, so help me God

I was alright till she came along
I was alright, then it all went wrong

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh,oh
It was an act of a man possessed, now
The devil made me do it , oh, oh, oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent

You should have seen her slide out of her negligee
Her skin was hot, touch intoxicating
And if you were me , you would have done the same
So spare me the gutter, save me from the ball and chain

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh, oh
It was an act of a man possessed now
The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent


2. FUTURE

You better get out of the line of fire
If you wanna stay alive
I always knew it would take a liar
In this brave new world to survive

It's gonna happen in the future
It didn't happen in the past

Rule and divide and control the seven seas
Your power and pride guarantee defeat
So fine, your lips on mine light a dangerous flame
When love grows in exile, it'll find you back again

They shot you down on the steps of a white house
Climbin' out to rescue me
They said you made a giant step for mankind
And the plate's still empty, "c'est la vie"

It's gonna happen in the future
It didn't happen in the past


3. BABY DYNAMITE

With a dream in her pocket
Flight ticket in hand
She's going off to the crazy land
Green pastures, like blankets unfold
Out the door and down the hall

Crazy river, with a cold shiver
Deep in water she dives
She's got herself involved
And now it's evolved
Into interstellar overdrive

Well I know she's got a talent for finding me
When she happens to be in the vicinity
She'll be on the phone
When the dancin' is done
Probably all alone

My baby dynamite
Your lucky stars are out tonight
And your cards are on the table
All the odds are in your favour
Dynamite
Heaven says you're doin' alright
With a heart that's shaped like a diamond
You've been cut for the assignment

Don't be a moth, hidin' pain
When your wings go up in flame
Money is a rocket, blow it sky high
The more you get, the more you fly
Green pastures that unfold
A future carved out of solid gold

Found in a river, hidin' a treasure
Impossible to find
And your soul's sold to the payroll
While it's tryin' to have a good time

Stayin' up, walkin' around
Talkin' muscle and makin' sounds
Like baby dynamite
Your lucky stars are out tonight
And your cards are on the table
All the odds are in your favour
Dynamite
Heaven says you're doin' alright
With a heart that's shaped like a diamond
You've been cut for the assignment


4. LAST OF THE MOHICANS

The old man told me
And he told me good
The old man taught me
Every trick in the book
And when he expired
In a whispered groan
He said, go crush the empire
Operate alone

'Cause you're the last of the Mohicans
You're the last of the killer tribe
You better find the man who runs it
The man who's gonna set this world on fire
Behind a wall of titanium
You gotta tear it down stone by stone
Stone by stone

In the middle of the evening
In the middle of the night
I'll come a prowlin'
I can smell his hide
Looks like a vampire
In broad daylight
So I pull the trigger
Put an end to the fight

'Cause I'm the last of the Mohicans
I'm the last of the killer tribe
I'm gonna start, start multiplying
Like a fast eagle in disguise
I won't help you none
Redskin is about to track you down
Our disguise protect you no
From the last flash of indigo
Here we go


5. LOST AND FOUND

I am not an object
Somethin' you throw away
I am no piece of junk
That's on a stationary train
I want you to get a message
To the one that's gonna set me free
Tell her to hurry, tell her to recognize me
'Cause I'm beginning to believe
That forever I'll live on a shelf
Of the lost and found

Between a cane and an umbrella
A wallet and a chain of keys
My dreams are full of you
And my nights without you are empty
I'm going under, yeah I'm going under
Had a name, had a number
Went and lost it all instead
And I'm beginning to believe
That forever I'll live on a shelf
Of the lost and found

I am not a misplaced object
A person you throw away
Some piece of junk
That's been left on a stationary train
I want you to get a message
To the one that's gonna set me free
Tell her to hurry, tell her to identify me
'Cause I'm beginning to believe
That forever I'll be another case
Of the lost and found
Yeah I'm beginning to believe
That I'll never get to leave this place
They call lost and found


6. TWILIGHT ZONE

Somewhere in a lonely hotel room
There's a guy starting to realize that eternal
Fate has turned its back on him.
It's 2 a.m.

It's two a.m., the fear has gone
I'm sittin' here waitin', the gun still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of takin' chances
Yeah there's a storm on the loose, sirens in my head
I'm wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead
I cannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know,
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone

I'm falling down a spiral, destination unknown
A double-crossed messenger, all alone
I can't get no connection, can't get through, where are you
Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind
This far from the borderline
And when the hit man comes
He knows damn well he has been cheated

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone


7. CHARGIN' UP MY BATTERIES

Well I couldn't live if I don't see a miracle happen
Stayin' up waitin' here with you
And I do believe in a mystery that needs unraveling
Stayin' up being here with you, in tune
Well, I'm runnin' around
In circles painted on the ground

I don't know how they got us here
I don't know why it don't come clear
Confession that I have to make
Expression that I have to fake
This situation on the other hand
Is a matter I cannot comprehend
When plugs don't spark in the dark
I'm chargin' up my batteries, chargin' up my batteries
Hey now, gimme full capacity
Chargin' up my batteries
Hey now, any day now

It's no tragedy but I hear the good times fadin'
Like a spotlight changin' green to blue
Yes I do believe something better be happenin'
Before the night comes through
Ain't it true, yeah it's true

Well, I'm runnin' around
In circles painted on the ground
I don't know how they got us here
I don't know why it don't come clear
Confession that I have to make
Expression that I have to fake
This situation on the other hand
Is a matter I cannot comprehend
When plugs don't spark in the dark
I'm chargin' up my batteries, chargin' up my batteries
Hey now, gimme full capacity
Chargin' up my batteries
Hey now, any day now


8. SECRETS

Tell me what's happenin'
Curiosity doin' me in
Something strange's happenin'
You keep a closed door behind you
Got a window I can't see through
Lock your mail inside a drawer
Never did me like that before

Don't tell me it's another one of your secrets

I smell conspiracy
Don't let me down
I'm on the outside baby
Waitin' for a friendly sound
Don't let me go to pieces
Celebratin' all alone
I come apart bit by bit
Add a number to your top secret list
In between hot and cold
You'll find the truth is
Working against us
I wanna know more

Don't tell me it's another one of your secrets

You make a move clandestine
Underground hide and seek
Get away with incidents
By lack of evidence
On the verge of committing a crime
Sendin' out a private eye
Defender of innocence
Trigger of coincidence
Right between hot and cold
Right between the left and the right eye
Tonight for instance

Don't tell me it's another one of your secrets
