1. ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD

Never been here before, but I'm coming back tomorrow
For the real pain, A cold rain again

Nice day for a crucifixion, heard a new prediction
That we can all be saved
So I'll have one more for the road
Oh play it again, one more for the road

Never heard this before, that a child can tell who's evil
But it's a good thing, if we sing along

Cold day, we can make a fire, burn another liar
Can witches ever die?
Hey let's burn one more for the road
Oh gimme the same again, one more for the road

We'll I've never been here before, and the room is really empty
But there's a big line waiting for the show

Nice day for an execution, another wrong conclusion
But someone's got to pay
So let's burn one more for the road
Oh play it again, one more for the road

There's a child who just sees evil, and a man who just loves pain
But I heard that we can save them, so gimme the same again
There's a cross that you can't carry, cause it's heavier than hell
And if you should meet your maker
Just pray that he won't yell, "One more for the road
One more for the road, play it again, one more for the road"

2. MASTER OF THE MOON

And then you dream, of a world with only windows
Inside you, you can hide you, you know
And then the night, you're just another empty shadow
No questions, no answers, no one to scream at you

Turn around and when you face the sun
We can make you be like everyone ya know
Hey you! You're just master of the moon

And then the eyes, if you look at them they'll blind you
Who are you? What are you? Why do you scream at me?

Turn around and when you face the sun
We can make you be like everyone ya know
Hey you! Master of the moon

We can shake you make you over, we just need some time to
Shed some light upon your darkness. We need your mind

And then you dream again, in a world that only you know
Inside you, you can hide you, no one to scream at you

Turn around and when you face the sun
We can make you be like everyone ya know
Oh turn away and never face the sun
You'll never make me be like you
I'm master of the moon

3. THE END OF THE WORLD

If I could sleep at night then somehow I'd see
Why everything's wrong, Or maybe it's just me
Does anybody know this place that I'm in
Why I might be alone

Imagination is a terrible thing
What if I'm wrong
But here's what I've been thinking
It must be the end of the world

Whatever happened to the rock 'n' roll song
Breaking your brain, making you stronger
They say you'll never hear the bullet that kills
And I don't hear a sound

It's not about a change or revolution
What's gone today is still called substitution

Don't get emotional but we're out of time
The melody's gone, fools have got the sunshine
If I'm mistaken and I see you again
Don't leave me alone
Maybe tomorrow could be the end of the world

Don't make wishes, don't waste time
Call the ones you hate
You say I'm sorry but they'll have to wait
For the end of the world, bye bye bye bye bye

4. SHIVERS

Fingers scratching blackboards make cowards of the brave
A natural reaction from the cradle to the grave
Rats and bats and spiders and little things that crawl
Never made me tremble, I'm not bothered, not at all
Then I saw you, something new inside of me
But what's this shaking? You made me shiver. Shiver

Cemetery midnights, walking on the dead
Never seemed to matter, it's all inside your head
Names are only letters mentioned on a stone
And if you're going somewhere, you're going it alone
Then I saw you, something new inside of me
Felt this shaking. You gave me shivers

Magic charms and voodoo and all those other spells
Never made impressions, and I never slept so well
If I had a nightmare, I'm sure that I would know
I really don't remember, but I'm sure it isn't so
Then I saw you, something new inside of me
What's this shaking?

Turn out the light it won't matter
A bucket of blood I'd still find
A black cat's only a color
But you can do it every time...
Time...

5. THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING

Bless me Father I must go away
To save us from the ones who don't believe
Confess me father I have sinned
But maybe angels really sing
For the man who would be king

We laugh at your religion, you people of the sand
We have no superstition, you can read it in our hands
Forgive me Father for the change we bring
But it's all for the man who would be king

Don't leave a body standing, not the holy, not the small
Deliver us from evil. If it's yours, we want it all
Lately Father I've been wondering
Is the Devil just the man who would be king

How can right be ever wrong
We are glory, we are stronger than you

We never got an answer. It's just too late to ask
The bloody flag was waving, our hearts just ran too fast
Curse me Father for the change we bring
And don't believe the man who would be king

We never got an answer. The question slipped my mind
I've been so busy killing, I haven't found the time

6. THE EYES

Oh no, they're at it again. Looking inside my secrets
Coming through cracks before I mend the wall
Get out, cause you're breaking the law. How did you ever find me?
Places I can hide can't get much smaller

I have invisible dreams where no one can touch me
Maybe I'll find a way to disappear
No one moves and no one dies. Just the eyes

I run as fast as I can, thinking they'll never catch me
What a waste of breath, a waste of time
Feel like digging a hole, going in even deeper
Maybe they just can't see what just can't shine

I'll be lost so no goodbyes.
If no one moves then nothing dies. Just the eyes

Oh no, they've done it again, sending out the detectives
Searching for signs of life, and that means me
In my invisible dreams, when no one is watching
I'd make the whole world blind and I'd be free

I'll be lost so no replies
If no one looks then no one dies. Just the eyes. Those eyes

Magic numbers, even sacrifice
I can't find a way, cause nothing stops the eyes

Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh

7. LIVING THE LIE

When a million miles from nowhere is still too close to home
You’re with a hundred thousand people, and you still feel all alone
She was never in the circle, or the round would be a square
And the more she seemed to want it, all the less they seemed to care
So now with no admission, too late to buy
It’s never who, it’s only why
She’s living the lie, living the lie

When you’re on your way to somewhere, but the elevator falls
Do you look for stairs to heaven, or wonder through the halls
He was only dedicated to the ones who make the law
But they burn with too much fire, and his heart was made of straw

No ticket, no admission, too late to buy
It’s always he, and he knows why
He’s living the lie, living the lie
How bad do you want it? How far will you go?

If you’re looking at tomorrow to forget about today
Then the past will be your future, and it’s there you’ll always stay
What about the pictures that smile from magazines
The ultimate temptation, our new kings and all our queens

Such heat and too much pressure, not worth a try
No more for them, now it’s I
And no more living a lie, living a lie
Oh why live the lie

8. I AM

I think I’m through with just pretending
Knocking at a door that I’ve been through before
Congratulations, at last you’ve seen my light
Now it’s you against the night
I think I’m never coming after, after all
Now I’ve become the cat who always let’s you know that
I am, I am stronger than the wind
I am, I am sin
I am, I am stronger without you
I am

For all the words gone unspoken
Silence isn’t gold, all the stories never told
Investigation, at last I’ve found my light
And we shine
So now I’m like the cat who always tells you this that
I am, I am stronger than the wind
I am, I am sin
I am, I am better without you
I am

I think I’m way outside illusion
Breaking down the door that locked me in before
Congratulations, now that you’ve seen my light, after all
And when I become the cat, I’ll always let you know that
I am, I am stronger than the wind
I am, I am sin (I am)
I am, I am stronger without you
I am
(I am) Oh I am, I am
I am everyone
I am, I am (I am, I am) better without you
I am
I am, I am stronger than before
I am, I am more (I am)
I am, I am ready to go on
I am (I am, I am)

9. DEATH BY LOVE

One night when the stars are right for the gypsy queen
And she found she could drag it down to a place that’s in between it all
She’s a mad man with a delicate hand and evil eyes
And I’ve heard she’ll only say a word but that’s enough to satisfy
Don’t ask why, don’t even think about it
Brave men die, but what a way to go
She’s not above death by love

One spell from the wishing well and you’re nevermore
A bad start for the sacred heart, cause the end has come before the beginning
Knee deep in the dark of sleep, but the eyes see all
So high it could break the sky and never feel the fall to calm you
Strong men die, but what a way to go
She’s not above death by love

Don’t ask why, don’t even think about it
Brave men die, but what a way to go
You’ve got symptoms of death by love
She’s not above death by love

Don’t ask why, don’t even guess about it
All men die, but this is death by love

10. IN DREAMS

Help me, save me, I’ve just crossed the line where reason might betray me
Wake me, oh shake me, send a message to my brain before they take me
How can I get through to you that wishes just come true in dreams?

Oh don’t go, no don’t dare, cause the journey drives you mad before you’ll get there
Help me, oh save me, I’ll be glad to give you back the hand you gave me
How can I get through to you that wishes just come true in dreams?
In your dreams

If I’m a river, then you’re the sea
Somewhere you’ll find me alone and swimming here in ecstasy
If I am silence, you must be scream
But I can’t hear you, I’m in a place that you’ve just never seen before

No don’t go, you’ll never save me, I’ve just slapped away that helping hand you gave me
Don’t wake me, no don’t you shake me. Here’s a message from my brain, you’ll never take me

How can I get through to you that wishes just come true in dreams?
In my dreams

11. PRISONER OF PARADISE (Japanese CD Only)

Bring me down
Drag me away from heaven
But look out
Angels guard the door

We all choose pain if pleasure is ordinary
Then we beg for more and more and more
Oh lock me up in an institution and throw away the key
Then I'm free
The prisoner of paradise

Take me down, I've gone too high, so hurry
How this can be real
I paid for the ride
And got wishes for eternity
And here's one more, I wish that you'd steal them

Tie me down and don't believe me
If I say I'm free, it's still me
The prisoner of paradise

Bring me down
If I could start all over, would I do the same
Oh I'd try for a while, then hunger for the recipe
And all I'd hear is "Isn't it a shame?"

Oh wrap me up in some chains and you can push me out to sea
Cover me up with the ocean, then I'm free
The prisoner of paradise
