By the streets of that one bedroom apartment we stood and watched the storm. Our eyes upon the blackened sky, as the rain began to fall. With a gentle sigh you took my hand and pulled me in, so close Our pulses, beating a rhythm of passion as the lightning split the sky. I gazed into your eyes, so bright and gently caressed your face. Your soothing touch, Well, there's never quite enough, yes, there's never enough of you and me.. Our lips, warm with the heat of desire as the wind tore through the streets Of that one bedroom apartment our lips embraced once more. (I gazed into your eyes, so bright and gently caressed your face. Your soothing touch, Well, there's never quite enough, yes, there's never enough of you and me..) Two souls aglow with passion and love, as the rain began to fall. Notice my smile. How spontaneous and true! Damn I loved you, god damn (there was never enough of you and me) Can you not hear the hum of my body responding to your nearness? My heart keeps time. My love is vast and deep and whole. Just like the open sea it will go on forever more into eternity!!! Chorus: Just when i thought we'd given up, we stayed on the road and made it, I can never see you in your room sleeping without me Touch me....I tremble Hold me...I sigh Kiss me...I melt Ask me....Why Chorus: Just when i thought we'd given up, we stayed on the road and made it, I can never see you in your room sleeping without me

she's got too many troubles on her mind her father told her to leave this was too much trauma For a poor widower's soul she was once happy, before she killed him and burried him beneath the sand God can't save her now she's going to the guillotine Her soul can now be forever torchered but her body will remain here with me... So I guess you can say I love a corpse but that's just insane i awoke last night to hear the screaming of a child but it wasn't mine I doubt this fairytale will put me back to sleep, but what the hell... i opened the bathroom door and there on the floor wrapped in towels was a small child so they say she was bearing a child when she was put to death but now my imagination is going too far So i went to a man in white to ask for help He said move to the south to find redemption, why the south i don't know but you must trust me... Then the man in white fell to his knees... to my former self this is my scrapbook i'll paint my walls you'll see me there i've seen a masterpiece covered in blood he's a ghost a broken dream, access my mind make me a believer, 'cause the four-horsemen of the apocalypse are coming and they are not bringing flowers keep me awake, you'll find we have something in common yes sir

Gathered together, the feared men in the banquet-hall were put on a bench assigned, all were strong until we sat them down, to call them out. A henchman attended, carried a cup in hand, served the clear liquor to the forgotten men. And these words were sang to me, Heroes revealed, no glory to shame, take it all aside and show me your face, just once again heroes revealed. Heroes revealed, no glory to shame, take it all aside, show me your face Now the nights have grown cold, the suns gone without a trace, These are all men of glory and fame. They'll go to their homes, to be with their kids, but once a hero's revealed grab your gear and let's lift these arms I heard you say you're coming back to fight them off, you know they're coming after you, save us from this open wound we call weakness, you know they're coming after you. take everything we knew and put it in the past God has forgiven them and so have I, but now we shall resign. heroes revealed, no glory to shame, heroes revealed, no glory to shame, take it aside and go

staring at the pictures on my walls wishing i was there but i'm stuck in a world where nobody cares, i've gotta finish wondering what you'll do when i'm gone, i bet you'll find somebody new i got a ticket for a one way ride and i'm never gonna look back, never gonna look back take it all in stride and make my way to the world baby, my world baby now that i'm gone, that ill be running back to you now that i'm gone, don't think that i'll be running back to you the queen, she told me i'd someday die, but what the hell does she know i'll carry on. they say don't knock before you try there's a fork in the road i really think we can make it, it's time to be fake if, we get respect in the city streets. tire tracks lace our history, and if you were listening you know i mean every word i say! well it goes to say everything right now happens for reason well it goes to say everything happens there's a fork in the road and the easy way looks dry so i'll take my chances and turn my world up in blue tonight now that i'm gone don't bother to think that ill be running back to you
