standing there in the corner
got a girl in his eye
well he knows, well he knows
he better play the right card, play it right
so the move is made
he's just a pawn in the game
well he knows, well he knows
underneath all of his pride there is shame
we play the game cus we want to know
we play along while it hurts us so
we hide emotions
is this really devotion?
she sees him giving the eye
he's just another guy
but she knows, but she knows
she doesn't want another lonely night
because the fear of rejection
she wears a mask for protection
but she knows, but she knows
the love she's looking for is hard to find
we play the game cus we want to know
we play along while it hurts us so
we hide emotions
is this really devotion?

Surely Could Die
03:55

|
she came a walking and she came alone
the kind of woman's got a mind of her own
oh baby can i make you my own?
i surely could die
the sound of heels on the subway floor
takes me right up to heavens door
oh baby i can't take anymore
i surely could die
baby's got me all tight
when she's walking on by
she keeps a walking in my mind
oh baby don't you leave me behind
i surely could die
she walked in and out of my life
broke my heart and never thought twice
oh baby it really was nice
i surely could die
just when i thought i had it all
she turned her back and then i dropped the ball
oh baby you never will call
i surely could die
baby's got me all tight
when she's walking on by
she keeps walking in my mind
oh baby don't you leave me behind
i surely could die
i surely could die now
but please don't leave me behind
i surely could die
baby's got me all tight
when she's walking on by
she keeps walking in my mind
oh baby don't you leave me behind
i surely could die

hey what's your name?
where are you hiding baby?
why are you hiding from me?
baby you've got the fire

i'm fighting for your desire
i'll give you what you need

voodoo mama you just shake that thing
oh girl that's enough
voodoo mama you're just hypnotizing me
with that magic stuff
voodoo mama pinning me like a doll
i ain't gonna bleed
voodoo mama put me under for so long
voodoo's all i see
well you still walk that dirty walk
i run away
but the voodoo stays with me
never get far
cus the voodoo's all the same
strippin my power like you're stripping your clothes
oh you're making me weak
voodoo mama i can't take much more of this
when you're dancing that evil beat
but you still walk that dirty walk
i run away
but the voodoo stays with me
never get far
cus the voodoo's all the same
consume my mind
with your dirty lies
untangle me
from your magic ties

Timber

cut me down slowly
saw me in half
wish you'd just burn me
burn me to ash
ease my pain with torture
the things you put me through
to feed this endless hunger
how could you be someone like you?
tear me to pieces
rip me apart
turn on your shredder
throw in my heart
my fire dies slowly
it's all because of you
but i still burn brightly
i'll never be someone like you

Devil's Game
03:56
|

|
death is here in my valley
death is here, i long for my family
i ain't a blind man but never could see
sold my soul, sold my life away
sold it all to keep death away
nothing to lose and nothing to gain
thought i'd play myself the devil's game
hey mister can't you see
the man in black is coming straight for me
he's got my soul and you know it's true
you best believe that i'm paying my dues
got the money and i got the fame
got the women and i got the pain
i stay awake cus i don't wanna sleep
my dreams are haunted by evil things
hey mister can't you see
the man in black is coming straight for me
he's got a hold and he won't let go
you best believe that i ain't coming home
hey mister can't you see
the man in black is coming straight for me
he's got my soul and you know it's true
you best believe that i'm paying my dues

Stare
03:32
|

|
it's cold and it's dark outside
can't find my left from my right
staring at the ceiling again tonight
i think but my thoughts run dry
lay long enough i could die
staring at the ceiling every night
fade into a darker shade
my thoughts get lost out in the rain
fade into the darkest night
so deep i won't get out alive
i'm hot but my blood runs cold
every night i sleep alone
and i let my bed swallow me whole
give back the passion you stole
give back my heart and my soul
give back everything you own
fade into a darker shade
my thoughts get lost out in the rain
fade into the darkest night
so deep i won't get out alive

Bittersweet
04:30
|

|
the night is young, the night is ours
although if fades within the hour
so savor the sweet, please time don't go
tomorrow doesn't matter now
they fall asleep, we don't know how
so stay awake and please don't go
we wish the night would never end
we waste the time we never had
we wish that time would never end
the birth of that sun grows older now
watching it rise upon the ground
bitter sweet but so bright
beauty consumes the city lights
would you save that day?
or throw it all away?
from the top of our lungs, we scream so loud
from the top of the world, we're looking down
live it up before we're too old
never felt a feeling of this kind
we move our feet, we numb our minds
the sun is here. time won't you slow?
we wish the night would never end
we waste the time we never had
we with that time would never end
the birth of that sun grows older now
watching it rise upon the ground
bitter sweet but so bright
beauty consumes the city lights
would you save that day?
or throw it all away?

Remember
05:21
|

|
a shadow haunts me night and day
the lights were bright
then the darkness came
i remember
restless thoughts keep me awake
i sweat my debts
they were all in vain
i remember
i remember her
the drift was quick
like a thief in the night
love has robbed me of my life
i remember
crawling on my knees just to breathe
love has given nothing
only taken from me
i remember her
i would fall if love would catch me
help me, save me now
what i know is, what's done is done
take your moon and stars
and show me how you make them shine
what i know now is what's done is done

Train
04:03

|
i've got to leave this place
but i won't be far away
i've got to make myself a name
come back a man someday
but before i go
there's just one thing
i've got to know
hey
if my train leaves tonight
will i still be on your mind?
is our love on the line
oh baby it's only time
till i come back to you
times will get hard
oh and my heart will ache
i’ve got to work myself to the bone
don't care how long it takes
but before i go
there's just one thing
i've got to know
hey
if my train leaves tonight
will i still be on your mind?
is our love on the line
oh baby it's only time
till i come back to you
things i'm gonna do
and the place i will see
don't you shed a tear
have a little faith in me
but before i go
there's just one thing
i've got to know
if my train leaves tonight
will i still be on your mind?
is our love on the line
oh baby it's only time
till i come back to you
