Are you blind? Blind to me trying to be kind Volunteering for your firing line Waiting for one precious sign
The flicker of a smile You should try it just once in a while Baby, it's not quite your style It's simply too easy to do And you might not see it through See it through
Oh, so find yourself another place to fall Find yourself up against another brick wall See yourself as a fallen angel Well, I don't see no holes in the road but you Find another place to fall
Are you proud? To have founded a brand new behavior With hatred and hurt as your Savior But nobody's choosing to follow So you choke back the tears and you swallow
Men who have ruined your life If you consume them with minimum strife Now you have got indigestion The antacid comes as a question
Oh, so find yourself another place to fall Find yourself up against another brick wall See yourself as a fallen angel Well, I don't see no holes in the road but you Find another place to fall
There isn't much more I can say For I don't understand the delay You're asking for friendly advice And remaining in permanent crisis
Affection is yours if you ask First you must take off your mask When your back's turned I've decided You'll throw it away just like I did
Oh, so find yourself another place to fall Find yourself up against another brick wall See yourself as a fallen angel Well, I don't see no holes in the road but you Find another place to fall
Well, I don't see no holes in the road but you Find another place to fall Well, I don't see no holes in the road but you Find another place to fall Well, I don't see no holes in the road but you Find another place to fall
Boom goes the dynamite Feels like I'm taking flight Alright, alright, alright Everything is magical Anything is possible Alright, alright, alright Oooh Feels so electric Oooh I'm gonna get it Oooh Feels so electric Alright, alright, alright I am who I wanna be Who, I wanna be Who, I wanna be I am moving to the beat Moving to the beat Moving to the beat I'm a strong individual, feelin' that power I'm so original, you sing it louder I am Who, I wanna be Who, I wanna be Who, I wanna be I am I'm a, I'm a go-getter I'm on that trendsetter Alright, alright, alright See me in the headlines I am one of a a kind Making' everything shine Alright, alright I am who I wanna be Who, I wanna be Who, I wanna be I am moving to the beat Moving to the beat Moving to the beat (oooh) I'm a strong individual, feelin' that power I'm so original, you sing it louder I am Who, I wanna be Who, I wanna be Who, I wanna be I am Ooohh Ehhhh Ooohh Eehhh I am Feel so electric I'm gonna get it Feel so electric Alright, alright, alright I am who I wanna be Who, I wanna be Who, I wanna be I am moving to the beat Moving to the beat Moving to the beat I'm a strong individual, feelin' that power I'm so original, you sing it louder I am Who, I wanna be Who, I wanna be Who, I wanna be I am Oohhh Ehhhh (I am) Oohhh Ehhhh I am
Merrily we sailed along Though the waves were plenty strong Down the twisting river Rhine Following a song...
Legend's faded storyline Tried to warn us all Oh, they called her "Loreley" Careful or you'll fall...
Oh, the stories we were told Quite a vision to behold Mysteries of the seas in her eyes of gold... Laying on the silver stone, such a lonely sight Barnacles become a throne, my poor Loreley...
And the winds would cry, and many men would die And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley... And the winds would cry, and many men would die And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...
You would not believe your eyes, how a voice could hypnotize Promises are only lies from Loreley In a shade of mossy green, seashell in her hand She was born the river queen, ne'er to grace the land...
And the winds would cry, and many men would die And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley... And the winds would cry, and many men would die And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...
Oh, the song of Loreley Charms the moon right from the sky... She will get inside your mind, loveley Loreley... When she cries "Be with me until the end of time" You know you will ever be with your Loreley...
And the winds would cry, and many men would die And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...' And the winds would cry, and many men would die And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley... And the winds would cry, and many men would die And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...
Loreley is a legend in Germany about a woman that threw herself into the Rhine over a faithless lover. She was transformed into a siren and led many fishermen to their deaths

Margaritaville
Nibblin' on sponge cake Watchin' the sun bake All of those tourists covered with oil Strummin' my six string On my front porch swing Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to boil Wastin' away again in Margaritaville Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt Some people claim that there's a woman to blame But I know, it's nobody's fault Don't know the reason Stayed here all season Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo But it's a real beauty A Mexican cutie How it got here, I haven't a clue Wastin' away again in Margaritaville Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt Some people claim that there's a woman to blame Now I think, hell, it could be my fault I blew out my flip flop Stepped on a pop top Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home But there's booze in the blender And soon it will render That frozen concoction that helps me hang on Wastin' away again in Margaritaville Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt Some people claim that there's a woman to blame But I know, it's my own damn fault Yes, and some people claim That there's a woman to blame And I know, it's my own damn fault
Time is dead and gone Show must go on It's time for our act They all scream at me They cannot see This curtain hides me An amazing gift So quick and swift You were amazing By myself I can't They start to chant Why are you not here?
Grinning at me I lay on my knees They want to hear me Why cannot 'he' see? I want to see you I need to see you I have to see you What happened to you? We get up on stage They jump to enrage Why are you not here? Why is 'he' so near? 'He' wants me to sing I just can not bring- I say 'he's' not you What else can I do?
Singing its silent song of misery A monster lies trapped in its own Nightmare 'He' is a tyrant It lets out a plea Why did she have to leave it all alone? Bound to sing for us, a worthless monster It never sees us It despises us Lying so useless, we start to holler "Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!"
I lay all alone I should have known you would have left me 'He' smiles at me I can not see Why 'he's' in your place They can't tell me why you said good-bye Right before our act Those two young lions Were always fun~ Why did they leave, too?
Roaring at me I lay on my knees What is happening? I can hear you sing They will not obey They've been lead astray Will I still see you? I have to see you I panic and flee They both pounce on me I fell to the ground I can't hear a sound I look up and see You are not with me Am I all alone? Where could you have gone?
Singing its silent song of misery A monster lies trapped in its own Nightmare 'He' is a tyrant It lets out a plea Why did she have to leave it all alone? Bound to sing for us, a worthless monster It never sees us It despises us Lying so useless, We start to holler "Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!"
Ahh......

Though time has vanished, it's "showtime" I hide behind the curtain The vivid you is so kind They yell at me, why aren't you here?
Smirking, crying, they want to listen? I want to see you, I want to hug you, I'm trembling, where are you? Is the performance starting? My violated side "Sing," he tells me, he's not you, I can't sing
Silently mouthing a song Inside that caging dream "He" is evil, though it begs in tears Why is it all alone like that? That pathetic monster Cannot see, just hate The words we always scream are "Look, it's the Circus Monster!"
My once-warm thoughts have already frozen He laughs at me close to my ears Why did you leave? I don't know Those fun lions also left...
Their roars, your voice, crying, I hear it all Bad cats, they can't listen, can't I see you? I want to see you The lions' surprise attack, I meet the dirt, I can't hear, is this the end? I opened my eyes, where did you go? I think I'm alone...
Silently mouthing a song Inside that caging dream "He" is evil, though it begs in tears Why is it all alone like that? That pathetic monster Cannot see, just hate The words we always scream are "Look, it's the Circus Monster!"
Ah...
Silently mouthing a song Inside that caging dream "He" is evil, though it begs in tears Why is it all alone like that? That pathetic monster Cannot see, just hate The words we always scream are "Look, it's the Circus Monster!"
Silently mouthing a song Inside this caging dream "He" is evil, I begged in tears Why did you abandon me? I, a pathetic monster Cannot see, just hate Today, they scream those words again "Look, its the Circus Monster!"

~WHERE THE SKIES END~ STARSET
[Intro] In a restless search for new opportunities and new ways of living The mystery and the promise of distant horizons Always have called men forward
We are the lost and the silent We are the shackled and small We're looking up at the giants We're going to watch when they fall
Do you hear me? You're a Goliath to me I'll be there when the bombs unfurl Till the war is over Lay your burdens on me I can bear all the weight of the world With you on my shoulders
We won’t just fall away We weren't just born to fade Our stories are past the horizon We're chasing the sun till we find them Goodbye to what we made No matter anyway We're climbing until we transcend Higher, higher To where the skies end
These aren't the dreams of our fathers There'll be no wishing on stars We are the sons and the daughters Let them come test who we are
Can you hear me? You're a Goliath to me I'll be there when the guns break out Till the storm is over Lay your burdens on me I'll be there when your fate runs out You'll be on my shoulders
We won’t just fall away We weren't just born to fade Our stories are past the horizon We're chasing the sun till we find them Goodbye to what we made No matter anyway We're climbing until we transcend Higher, higher To where the skies end
We left our chains We left them below We are all rising above We were not born to stay low Show me your strength It's more than you know You'll never know what you're made of Until you set foot down the road We knew this day Was set long ago And when the sharks smell the blood They will all see it's their own (Own, own, own, own)
To where the We won’t just fall away We weren't just born to fade Our stories are past the horizon We're chasing the sun till we find them Goodbye to what we made No matter anyway We're climbing until we transcend Higher, higher To where the skies end
In a search that has continued for centuries Some far distant view With this promise of the unseen And it's promise of the unknown Has forever fathered the impulse To seek for new things in new places New horizons User 34739, your battery's low Your battery's low Shutting down
(Let me introduce myself) You didn't think I was done Did ya? Well I just began having my fun Baby Some people live for attention Playing the victim But baby, I was born to do the killing
I see how you going crazy Always thinkin' 'bout me Baby on the daily Feed me your negativity Talk some more about me I know that you love me, love me
It's funny how you think I'm bothered Know I'm nothing like the others You shouldn't have messed with me 'Cause I heard That you're afraid of monsters, monsters
Are you ready for the monster, monster? Are you ready for the monster, monster? Are you ready for the monster, monster? You ain't ready for the monster, monster!
I'm just being me Cut out the things that I don't need And I don't care if you disagree I don't need no sympathy Winning the game on my own (Yeah baby)
I see how you going crazy Always thinkin' 'bout me Baby on the daily Feed me your negativity Talk some more about me I know that you love me, love me
It's funny how you think I'm bothered Know I'm nothing like the others You shouldn't have messed with me 'Cause I heard That you're afraid of monsters, monsters
Are you ready for the monster, monster? Are you ready for the monster, monster? Are you ready for the monster, monster? You ain't ready for the monster, monster!
Ah, it could've been so different between us But then you went and messed everything up You took a knife and stabbed me in the back Took everything I had Went to your friends and laughed This is the last time I'm gonna tell you now If you try to break me I'm gonna burn you down Oh baby I'm done with you Not coming back for you You (Let me introduce myself) It's Funny how you think I'm bothered Know I'm nothing like the others You shouldn't have messed with me 'Cause I heard That you're afraid of monsters, monsters
Are you ready for the monster, monster? Are you ready for the monster, monster? Are you ready for the monster, monster? You ain't ready for the monster, monster!

Not my type of music but someone had to be contrary. twisted
Umbrella at your side, it’s raining but you close it tight “And how are you?” purred a cat just passing through Those heels that you like are soaking, but is that alright?
Let out a sigh for another day the same as the last Come on let’s try, dye it blue and change it up from the past Reflecting up from a puddle but then gone in a flash Is that the most that you can dream or wanted to see?
But look around – Dance up and down The world is now – Still going ‘round Just feel it pound – We’re skyward bound Move at the top - speed - of - sound
Running to another day, I wanna break away and take the leap As you’re stuck on yesterday, no sun to rise would be okay with me Every day, every day is okay Taking it step by step, we’ll always move ahead Our love is growing red, need me more, need you more You fall down seven more times, I’ll be there seven, eight, nine As we keep trying, we’ll find – we’re always singing the same tune
Now falling to her side, the drops of rain that mix with light Stealing a glance, hid a cat who turns his back Their heads starting to sink, this boredom is too hard to fight
Just spinning lies with the only thread of kindness we saved Or if we’re blind and the truth is just a painting in grey Drowning us out, all the noisy drops the fall in the rain But fingertips traced every line and opened my eyes
I’ll paint it blue – I’ll play a tune I’m wishing too – For something new It will come true – With me and you And then we’ll finally break through
Swimming through the Milky Way, I wanna break away and take the leap Since we’re falling anyway, no moon to rise would be okay with me Every night, every night is alright Taking it step by step, we’ll always move ahead Our love is growing red, need me more, need you more Cry to me, know that I care - lean on me and I’ll be there As we keep trying, we’ll find – you’re always gonna be there too
Shining down on me, you’re my blue moon Dreaming forever to find to now I’m awake I need to find tomorrow, can you take me away And go the top speed of sound?
Running to another day, I wanna break away and take the leap As you’re stuck on yesterday, no sun to rise would be okay with me Every day, every day is okay Taking it step by step, we’ll always move ahead Our love is growing red, need me more, need you more You fall down seven more times, I’ll be there seven, eight, nine As we keep trying, we’ll find – you’re always gonna be there too
We’re always singing the same tune
Every day from now on

Tears laced with cyanide flow through the cracks of a Mirror shattered long ago
And, sure, I’m the one who swung the metal bat But, hey, I can’t control the urge! Nobody’s gonna blame me for that
Impossible, impossible
Twist ‘n turn it right around The details never safe or sound The truth projected through a lense With nothing proving otherwise
Now take the time to realize Despite what you believe The victim of a massacre Was none other than poor me
Surely you can see the problem I don’t wanna lose my own reflection A deplorable perception of me Was none other than an image of you
You’re making a wreck of broken glass And leaving me a f▬kin' mess Bending light in a way that shows Exactly how the story goes
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed? Play my games and abide my ways There’s no way you can compensate
A monster, monster, monster, monster Now run away, run away, run away I’m a monster, monster, monster, monster Now run away, run away, run away Now you’re the monster
A glimmer of betrayal changes my mind The odds against your favor Forever Ignorant atrocities and Colorless apologies This isn’t what it looks to be I’m not as cruel as you see me
Take the time to realize Despite what you may see The mirrors cracked themselves And I was cut on the broken shards
And how I bled
Stuck in a spotlight brighter than The smile no one ever saw Bending light in a way that shows The truth that left our friends in awe
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed? Play my games and abide my ways There’s no way you can compensate
Madness, it’s madness Oh, it’s sickening It’s sickening You know It’s unfair, it’s unfair How you distorted my reflection In all this madness
It’s madness Oh, it’s sickening It’s sickening You know It’s unfair, it’s unfair How you distorted my reflection You know it’s too late

You’re lost in a world of funhouse mirrors Twisted for eternity Bending light in a way that shows Refraction of hypocrisy
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed? Play my games and abide my ways There’s no way you can compensate
Tears laced with cyanide flow through the cracks of a Mirror shattered long ago
And, sure, I’m the one who swung the metal bat But, hey, I can’t control the urge! Nobody’s gonna blame me for that

Droimeann Donn Dílis
(My Faithful Brown Cow) lyrics (Small farmers of the Irish famine period were forced to pay heavy rents and taxes despite the hard times. If unable, they were evicted and sent packing on the roads. This was one main cause of the huge migrations from Ireland to America in the decade spanning 1845 to 1855. Between famine-induced illness, starvation and emigration, Ireland lost over a third of its population in that period alone. In the United States now, 40 million people claim Irish heritage.)
A droimeann donn dílis, the landlord is come Like a foul blast of death, he has shook over our home He has withered the roof-tree beneath the cold sky And houseless and homeless tonight we must lie
With my health and my strength, with hard labor and toil I drained the wet marsh, and I tilled the harsh soil I toiled the long day through, from morning 'til even' And I thought in my heart I'd a foretaste of heaven
But they wracked me and ground me, with tax and with rent 'Til my heart it was seared and my life-blood was spent Ah it's hard to forgive it, and to think I must bear That strangers shall reap the reward of my care
I knelt down three times for to utter a prayer But my heart it was cold and the words were not there Ah wild were the thoughts through my dizzy head came Like the rushing of wind through a forest of flame
I bid you old comrade, a long last farewell For the gaunt hand of famine has clutched us too well It has severed the master, and you my good cow With a blight on my life and a brand on your brow..
