Power holds so true and
we're going to dance until it makes you
Dirty, nasty, grungy, sweaty
What's it like, what's it like?
Do you feel it?
What's it like, what's it like?
Do you mean it?
What's it like, what's it like?
Do you like it? Do you mean it?
Getting dumped on, are you through being
Dirty, nasty, grungy, sweaty
Proper contact
hold on to
what makes you...

So Long
03:14

Street light,
shining bright.
Red change light.
Waiting, watching, staring at the clock.
Twiddle thumbs.
About to come undone.
I'm sick of it.
Choking, turning blue.
So long for how long (let me go)

We Only Shine

And that got me to thinking,
did I travel alone?
Have I walked all this way
without a home?
Was it just another drop
of blood in another song?
I found that right in front of me
was the answer all along.
We only shine
for love at first sight.
Was clearly defined,
in black and white.
What was I missing?
What was I shown?
Could I have lost it or
could I be wrong?
Will this make me a weaker man or
will I be strong?
I found I was missing out
on the truth all along.

Lift Me
03:04
|

|
I lay back and look in your eyes.
You know my pain,
you come at the right time.
You lift me,
when I lift you.
You lift me,
when I lift you up.
You walked with me
through the garden of no night.
You carried me,
when I fell to the side.
You walked with me,
until I saw your light.
Even through my anger,
you made my day from night.

Light U'r Way

This underage disease you
fetish do you think it proves
that you burn better?
Arrogance is earned through work.
Hey, learn then chalk the letter.
If the sun refused to shine,
who would light your way?
Do you believe what you believe?
Do you believe what you say?
If actions speak louder,
does it matter what you pray?
Will it serve the proper cause,
if you're walking the other way?
Verbatim footsteps of a grudging source
marks the truth that's left behind.
Go ahead and fib your folks,
and play the victim in
the fall of the blind's design.

Blue
03:11
|
|||
|
Cover me,
drench me.
Pretty colors wash away.
We can make love until I have no energy,
until I have no energy.
Seethe me, seed me. I don't want to sound crass.
We could turn to blue.

Octane

Who says rock is dead? Tell me why?
Why let a good time pass us by?
It's our gift we bring it to you, you, and you.
Now listen, here's the truth.
We get by (we live high)
we get by on high octane.
We came here to rock, no lies.
Hey, get loud, have fun, let it fly!
It's our gift we bring it to you, you, and you.
Now listen, here's the truth.

At this Time
02:44
|

|
I begin where you end.
You've shown me roses, show me again,
with no concept of belief.
At this time I pray for relief.
(at this time I pray)
I need relief
(at this time I pray)
Give it to me.
When night falls will you come
lay yourself like a blanket of love
with no concept of belief
At this time I pray for...
relief..
