Perry Mason

On his way to dinner 
When it took him by suprise
And with one pull of the trigger
He would vanish overnight
Dancing by the roadside 
Holding on for dear life
Then a gun from out of nowhere 
Made a widow of his wife

I don't mind, single file down the runway
Feelin' fine, and I'll see you my friend
Over and over again

Who can we get on the case?
We need Perry Mason
Someone to put you in place
Calling Perry Mason again, again

Riding painted horses 
Oh the kids, they love it so
You can see it on their faces 
How they love the wind to blow
Minding my own business 
Like my Mama always said
But if I don't try to help 'em 
They could wind up on the front page

I don't mind, draw the line, then draw me an arrow
Feelin' fine, then I'll see you my friend
Over and over again

Who can we get on the case?
We need Perry Mason
Someone to put you in place
Calling Perry Mason again, again

Wake me when it's over 
Tell me it's all right
Just keep on talking baby 
I've been doing this all night
How much did you give me?
Tell me it'll be alright

Then I'll see you my friend
Over and over again

Who can we get on the case?
We need Perry Mason
Someone to put you in place
Calling Perry Mason again, again, again, again

I Just Want You

There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs
Or unsingable songs

There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable gods
There are no unnameable names
Shall I say it again?
Yeah

There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much

I just want you
I just want you

There are no uncriminal crimes
There are no unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins 
Or forgivable sins

There are no incurable ills
There are no unkillable thrills
One thing, and you know it's true
I don't ask much

I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I'll buy myself some plastic water
I guess I should have married Lennon's daughter 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

There are no unachievable goals
There are no unsaveable souls
No legitimate kings or queens
Do you know what I mean? 
Yeah

There are no indisputable truths
And there ain't no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much

I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you
I just want you
Hey, yeah
I just want you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want you
Hey
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
Yeah...

Ghost Behind My Eyes

There is a person living in my head
She comes to visit every night in bed
I fight the demon, but it just won't fall
The voices in my dungeon starting to call

The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love, we could have had it all

And it is you, you are the ghost behind my eyes
I can't see through you, you are the ghost behind my eyes
The ghost that tells me lies

The princess of the dark has made my mind home
My haunted head and her won't leave me alone
She dances on my heart with fire in my soul
I hate that feeling when I'm losing control

The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love, we could have had it all

And it is you, you are the ghost behind my eyes
I can't see through, you are the ghost behind my eyes
The ghost that tells me lies

I wish to god that I could sleep
again, oh peace again
And wake up from this nightmare
Free again
Free again, oh me again

There is a woman living in my head
She comes to visit every night in bed
The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love, we could have had it all

And it is you, you are the ghost behind my eyes
You, you are the ghost behind my eyes
You, you are the ghost behind my eyes
Behind my eyes
The ghost behind my eyes
The ghost behind my eyes
The ghost behind my eyes

Thunder Underground

Your thoughts are compromising
Self-centered, patronized
Your image supersedes your soul

You find me mystifying
Subhuman, so annoying
You can't have me under control

You think you'll live forever
You don't find that profound
You won't think you're so clever
When you hear thunder underground, alright now

Your morbid fear of losing
Destroys the lives you're using
You only have one point of view

The stigma of delusion
Confirms your self-illusion
And after all, this could be you

You think you'll live forever
You don't find that profound
You won't think you're so clever
When you hear thunder underground, here we go now

Could it be that I have found my mind
Or have I gone insane?
Roller coaster of the madness 
And there's only me to blame
The ever faithful hand of doom 
Will take the pain away
I'll never know the answer to it all
Till my dying day

Your bullshit culture licking
Can't stop the deathwatch ticking
You're only mortal after all

Your appetite for power
Subverts your every hour
But every time the mighty fall

You think you'll live forever
You don't find that profound
You won't think you're so clever
When you hear thunder underground, here we go now

See You On The Other Side

Voices, a thousand, thousand voices
Whispering, the time has passed for choices
Golden days are passing over, yeah

I can't seem to see you, baby
Although my eyes are open wide
But I know I'll see you once more
When I see you, I'll see you on the other side
Yes, I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side

Leaving, I hate to see you cry
Grieving, I hate to say goodbye
Dust and ash forever, yeah

Though I know we must be parted
As sure as stars are in the sky
I'm gonna see when it comes to glory
And I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side
Yes I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side

Never thought I'd feel like this
Strange to be alone, yeah
But we'll be together
Carved in stone, carved in stone, carved in stone

Hold me, hold me tight, I'm falling
Far away, distant voices calling
I'm so cold, I need you darling, yeah

I was down, but now I'm flying
Straight across the great divide
I know you're crying, but I'll stop you crying
When I see you, see you on the other side
Yes, I'll see you, see you on the other side
I'm gonna see you, see you on the other side
God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side, yeah

I'll see you, see you on the other side
I'm gonna see you, see you on the other side
God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side
I wanna see you, yeah, yeah, yeah
See you on the other side
God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side
I'm gonna see you, see you on the other side

Tomorrow

Have you read the message? 
The writing on the wall
Could it be the answer? 
The answer to it all
What's going down in heaven 
I'm playing with your head
Don't believe them when they tell you 
You'd be better off dead

Living in the thunder 
Driving me insane
Can I get a witness 
To take away the pain?
Walking on the water 
Going nowhere fast
Feeling like I'm walking 
With no shoes on broken glass
You know it

You don't have to leave the lights on
I'm so used to being blind
No more goodbyes or yesterdays
So it's I'll see you tomorrow, I'll see you tomorrow

Welcome to the sideshow 
I'll cut to the chase
Yeah, I can hear you thinking 
It's going all to waste
I don't mean to offend you 
When I look you in the eyes
What's all this commotion? 
It leaves me mystified

Chasing all the rainbows 
Falling from the sky
I know your intentions 
Are all a bunch of lies
I'm running out of patience
Falling off track
You better start to worry
Cause I may not make it back
Alright now

You don't have to leave the lights on
I'm so used to being blind
One good reason to blow me away
So it's, I'll see you tomorrow, I'll see you tomorrow

Can it wait 'til tomorrow?
Cause tomorrow never comes...

Living in the big house 
Dying by the rail
If I wanted your opinion 
I'd call you in hell
Could that be the mailman 
Knockin' on the door?
Or just another lightweight 
Finally evening the score
You know it

You don't have to leave me the lights on
Now I'm so used to being blind
No more goodbyes or yesterdays
So it's, I'll see you tomorrow
No more good reasons to blow you away
So it's I'll see you tomorrow

Denial

You are my only daughter, I guess I made you twice
You look inside my other, he'll give you bad advice
I will tell you I'm ok, but deep inside, I'm afraid

I don't drink holy water, I'm not a son of Christ
I ain't no black messiah, and I don't load my dice
You can tell me you're alright 
But why are you so afraid?

You're in denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth
You'll never believe it, you'll never believe it's you

I don't think I'm amazing, in fact I'm quite insane
To live inside my bucket, with all my plastic chains
People tell me every time, I look at the wrong all right

You're in denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth
You'll never believe it, you'll never believe it's you

You'll never believe it, you'll never believe it

Secrets told you, dreamland holds you, secrets told you
You wouldn't believe it, you couldn't conceive it
Secrets told you...
You wanna receive it, you gotta believe it's you

You're on a trip already 
I'm tripping out alright
I'll get there slow and steady 
Just sit and hold on tight

Denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth
Denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth, yeah, yeah
Behind the truth, yeah, yeah
It's true, yeah, yeah
Behind the truth, yeah, yeah
It's you, yeah, yeah

Behind the truth, yeah, yeah
It's gonna be alright, just hold on tight
It's gonna be alright, just hold on tight

My Little Man

Don't you know I love you more than life itself?
Don't you know that you're my pride?
And I would not have you walking through this world
Without me by your side

Go to sleep my little man
Don't you weep my little man

I'd like to keep you with me all your life
But I know I can't do that
So I must try teaching you the wrong from right
To keep the vulture from your back

Go to sleep my little man
Don't you weep my little man

And when you're dreaming, you can talk to angels
So wipe the tears from your eyes
And if there's demons that try to steal you breath away
You can't believe that 
Know my spirit will be standing by your side

You saved me, you gave me 
The greatest gift of all
Believe me, believe
There ain't no mountain that's too tall

I will gladly carry your cross for you
To take your pain away
But what I can't carry is my love for you
Beyond my dying day

So be strong my little man
When I'm gone my little man
You got to be my little man
So don't you weep my little man
Go to sleep my little man
Don't you weep my little man
You got to be my little man
So don't you weep my little man

My Jekyll Doesn't Hide

Condemned to violence
Arrested by pain
Inside the soul, lies a man insane
Conceived in anger
Addicted to hate
The mutant child of a twisted state

Beware the contradiction
Beneath the crimson void
Cause in this world of fiction
My Jekyll doesn't hide

A killer's smile 
With a psycho star dream
Behind the mask, things aren't what they seem
Unholy soldier
Disciple of sin
What kind of mind are you living in?

You're preaching revolution
Don't you mean genocide?
Behind this resolution
My Jekyll doesn't hide

Waiting to die for the every first time
Alright, that's right
Waiting to die for the every first time
I don't give a damn, cause I think it's my time, my time

The symbiosis
Of murder and lies
What do I see looking through your disguise?
Fourth reich dementia
Subversion ideals
God only knows what your secret conceals

Who'll be the first offender?
Who will be victimized?
In your perverse agenda
My Jekyll doesn't hide

Old L.A. Tonight

Look into the future
Look into my eyes and tell me everything's alright
Tell me where we're going
I'm so afraid cause I don't know 
What's going on with my life

But it'll be alright tonight
Will it be alright tonight?
Are we doin' alright in old L.A. tonight?

Sitting by the ocean
Mapping out my plans of action, baby, they include you
I wish you'd send a message
Maybe I'm just better off not knowing who knew

But it'll be alright tonight
I'm gonna be alright tonight
Are we doin' alright in old L.A. tonight?

Those summer nights when I look in your eyes
I'm falling to pieces, pieces out of my mind
And I'll never know why
I'm falling to pieces, pieces

Who could you imagine such a thing could happen to you?
It's gonna be alright in old L.A.

Those summer nights when I look in your eyes
I'm falling to pieces, pieces out of my mind
And I'll never know why
I'm falling to pieces, pieces

It's gonna be alright in old L.A. tonight
