1. SONG FOR THE TRIBES

And from the other side
A sheer white knuckle ride
So young yet feel so stung by the game
I know what's left in a name
With all those national strains
The lion hits the stage
Purple hearts revolving round with purple rage
And we all want to know where the weather goes
And what's in store tomorrow

No we don't need a replacement
The more I see the more I learn
All that time in the basement
I can't wait nor hang around

Language that shocks of the new
With the promise there's nothing to hide
When vultures rise out of the blue
And the circle of fireflies tonight
And all that heavenly light
I can't understand
The coup d'etat that walks inside every man
They all wanna know 'bout the fasion show
Where the Queen will go tomorrow

Tomorrow
Where the Queen will go tomorrow
Where the Queen will go tomorrow

No we don't need a replacement
The more I see the more I learn
All that time in the basement
I can't wait nor hang around

Feel real power in the darkness
The more I see the more I learn
Feel it more than I confess
I can't wait nor hang around

I'll be outside
I'll be outside
Song for the tribes
Song for the tribes
The more I see the more I learn
No we don't need a replacement
The more I see the more I learn
Song for the tribes
Song for the tribes


2. GLITTERBALL

Full of doubt, took the easy way out
Always said they couldn't find their place
Among some real dark stuff, they got to thinking enough
Remember Halcyon Days
We'll spend our time with a bottle of wine
And a love that knows no human state
Never got to wake up early
Never got to feel so poorly
As the great unloved go dancing all the way

Glitterball - Radiate round the hall
Lifts me up - Then leaves me to fall
Glitterball - Radiate round the hall
As the great unloved go dancing all the way

One step, Two step, Three step, Four
Drag me to the middle, then you pulled me to the floor
Glitterball - Radiate round the hall
As the great unloved go dancing all the way

And I've been captured by imagination
I feel the faint vibration in the air
Been taken hostage by the one creation
Anticipate the night that's in your hair

Glitterball - Radiate round the hall
Lifts me up - Then leaves me to fall
Glitterball - Radiate round the hall
As the great unloved go dancing all the way
Glitterball - Radiate round the hall
Lifts me up - Then leaves me to fall
Glitterball - Radiate round the hall
As the great unloved go dancing all the way

One step, Two step, Three step, Four
Drag me to the middle, then you pulled me to the floor
Glitterball - Radiate round the hall
As the great unloved go dancing all the way
One final day
As the great unloved go dancing all the way
Don't make me wait
As the great unloved go dancing all the way
Don't make me wait
As the great unloved go dancing all the way


3. WAR BABIES

See the white clouds roll in
Spirits lying next to me
Catch the wildflower falling
It's the wound that never bleeds
Hear the Sirens calling
Spinning out their show
Hold - The moment close to me
Take it down too slow

Be mine, be mine, War Babies
Be mine, be mine, War Babies

Can you still keep going
Shattered pieces left inside
To face the final, knowing
That there's somethings you can't hide

Be mine, be mine, War Babies
Be mine, be mine, War Babies

So will the force let go?
Or will the phantoms sta
Let the foreteller be your sight
It feels like something's happening today
Some shame's like no other
And nothing feels the same
Nothing feels the same

War Babies
Be mine, be mine, War Babies
Nothing feels the same
War Babies
War Babies
Nothing feels the same
Be mine
Be mine
War Babies


4. TEARS OF A GUY

Lone child in the wild
A bird that's lost at sea
The words that whisper in the silent film
Say 'tomorrows gone for me'
All night lying with your head in my hands
And I search for reasons why
But if I can't get to it - I can't get through it
All that's gone now - all that's...
The tears of a guy
Is all I ever see
The tears of a guy
So many rivers run to me

Wake up dreaming with the sun in my eyes
Hear me screaming, don't ask why
Some strange music from some sweet soul song
Says I can't feel it - I can't try
Time goes - and the fountain still flows
I'll be watching through fortunate eyes
But I can't get cured - I must endure
All that's gone now - all that's...

The tears of a guy
Is all I ever see
The tears of a guy
So many rivers run to me

Drift by the walls - this way
Babylon - in your eyes
Drift by the walls - this way
Babylon - in your eyes

So many rivers run through me
(And we will walk)
Oh little angel
It's all I ever see
(And we will rise)
So many rivers run to me
(And we will walk)
Oh my little angels
In your eyes
So many rivers run through me
In your eyes


5. SUPERMAN V SUPERSOUL

Rhada come to it
Brother slide through it
Sister rise - don't you care?
Come on taste the mountain air
Innocence comes to chance
The mystery and spirit of romance
Butterflies make you sigh
And Kali-Yuga's miles away
Procession gets in line
With words of wedding day rhyme
It'll make you cry
Kali-Yuga's miles away
And the young girl's eyes are miles away
And the dust still lies miles away

Rhada come to it
Brother slide through it
Sister rise - don't you care?
Come on taste the mountain air
Innocence comes to chance
Mistery, spirit of romance
It'll make you cry
Kali-Yuga's miles away

And the dust will rise miles away
The young girls sigh miles away
And the dust will rise miles away

Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Blossoms cry to it
Chariots take you there
Climbing through mists like marble white stairs
Milliseconds - take a glance
Catch the mystery dance
Never want to lose this chance
Kali-Yuga's miles away

And the dust still rise
And the worlds will rise

Superman v supersoul
Always in control
Superman v supersoul
In control


6. LIGHTNING

I want to know where you live
I want to know who you are
I want to see what you see
I want to go where you are
Want to touch what you touch
Want to be where you are
I want to know what city this is
Seems like I'm moving so far

Riot town right noise
A lightning streak
Fate rides up and moves us on
Mother don't weep

I want to see what you see
I want to touch - let me play
I want to try every poison in sight
I want to lie where you lay
Let me see let me see
I want to know what you know
I want to learn what's imprisoning me
Iwant to know let it go

Riot time right noise
Violent times speak
Bottled up - like a fake damnation
Lightning speed
Crackdown backdoors
Meltdown shoes
Bare back riders - a rank outsider
An automatic cruise

I want to touch what you touch
I long to be where you are
I'll always know - you'll let me know all this gets too far
Let me touch. Let me touch
Let me feel what you feel
I want to know how certain this is
I want to know this is real

Riot town, right noise
Lightning streak
Fate rides up and moves us on
Mother don't weep
Crackdown back door
Violent times speak
Fate rides up and moves us on
Lightning streak


7. IF I HAD WINGS

Open inside something about this pain
There's something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that you're not there
And if I could care there's something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that you'd bring
If I had wings
I'm still standing
Blue mountain high
Only the fables get to fly
Without these words there's no reason why
It reminds me of all that you bring

If I had wings
Would like to teach myself
If I had wings
Would learn to stir myself
If I had wings
Strapped inside won't be denied

Nightmare brings
All that you said
And if I could fly
Long time saviour
That's the sinner's crime
Well without such trust
I know that I can never find
Never find - Never find - Never find

If I had wings
If I had wings

I'm still standing

Never find - Never find - Never find

Open inside something about this pain
There's something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that you're not there
And if I could care there's something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that you'd bring
If I had wings
If I had wings
If I had wings
If I had wings

Open inside something about this pain
There's something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that you're not there
And if I could care there's something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that you'd bring
If I had wings
I'm still standing
Blue mountain high
Only the fables get to fly
Without these words there's no reason why
It reminds me of all that you bring

If I had wings
Would like to teach myself
If I had wings
Would learn to stir myself
If I had wings
Strapped inside won't be denied

Nightmare brings
All that you said
And if I could fly
Long time saviour
That's the sinner's crime
Well without such trust
I know that I can never find
Never find - Never find - Never find

If I had wings
If I had wings

I'm still standing

Never find - Never find - Never find

Open inside something about this pain
There's something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that you're not there
And if I could care there's something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that you'd bring
If I had wings
If I had wings
If I had wings
If I had wings


8. KILLING ANDY WARHOL

Did you ever see the sun rise up
Above this blackened hole
Did you ever feel that what you want's
Not under your control
Ever think that how you feel
Is not quite what you are
Some of us are satellites
Some are superstars
They're killing Andy Warhol
He's a saint and he's a thief
We'll all die a million times
That's what I believe

Killing Andy Warhol
Killing Andy Warhol

They say the rain in Europe
Cools you down and helps you think
Water, water everywhere
Nothing you can drink
Kissing Andy Warhol
His skin feels like a shark
White hair sits so beautiful
Eyelids are so dark
And I'm trying to get ahead
Like any boy or girl
There'd be no dictators anywhere
If I could rule the world

Killing Andy Warhol
Killing Andy warhol

That's impossible, he 's got all that money
Adorable, having all that money
Feasable, that it's all black money
It's so criminal, making all that money
All I want, is what I'd want
But I don't want that now
They're dressing Andy Warhol up
If only thay knew how
Jesus on the neon sign
Turns and starts to laugh
And I'm thinking about this oxygen
And how I'll make it last
Killing Andy Warhol
He's a saint, yeah he's a thief
Motorways are everywhere
With no clean air to breathe

Killing Andy Warhol
Killing Andy Warhol

Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Having all that money
Killing Andy Warhol
He's got all that money
And it's real black money
Making all that money

Killing Andy Warhol
Killing Andy Warhol
