Cities, buildings falling down

Satellites come crashing down

I see them falling out the skies like eagles

All mirrored glass and shattered egos

But in a corner of the world we'd meet to laugh and drink and plan our sequels

'Cause in the alleyways and bars downtown

They're singing up from here to there can we go

This city comes alive at night, see these city walls are heaving

And if these old city walls should crash, amid the rubble you'd find us breathing

Come say what you see in me

'Cause boy, I believe in you

Come say what you're seeing

All gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through

You talk about the Lebanon

You tell me 'bout the Dawn in Eden

You talk about South Africa

I tell you about the Irish children

You say one more Polish Knight could come and blow away the doors to Freedom

And if Mother Ethiopia could blow away the tears that we see run

O blow them away,

Blow, blow away

We Will blow them away

O blow, blow away

Blow, blow away

Blow, blow away

Come say what you see in me

'Cause boy, I believe in you

Come say what you're seeing

They're all gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through

You know I believe in you

Oh yes I believe, you know I believe in you

You say you believe

I believe, I believe, going all the way through, yeah

Come take me back home, come on and take me away

Ghost Dancing

The car pulled up, the girl she jumped in

The boy he wore a medal that was shining from his skin

With the windows pulled up, their radio tuned in

She's hitting from the stars, he's hitting for the moon

She said, one last kiss while you look across the Land

Move it into overdrive and take me by my hand

When the car broke, the rebels saw smoke

and they all went to heaven in a stupid fantasy, go

Take me away

letra de Big Sleep
So where did you go?

Where do you go in the Big Sleep

Going out in the Deep Sleep

Is where you're wandering now

So where did you go

When you're in the Big Sleep

Drifting in wildlife

And still you're wandering now

We were on the top and the world was spinning

We were only young in the whirlpool of warning

Communication lost in the thundering rain style

A shelter from the storm in the early beginning

Going out in the Big Sleep, out in the Big Sleep

Could have been years, you know it could have been years

Or only seconds ago

Big Sleep, Deep Sleep

Where are you now?

Now that you're up in Big Sleep

Valuable friend

They saw you leaving this way

We were on the top and the world was spinning

We were only young in the whirlpool of warning

Communication lost in the thundering rain style

A shelter from the storm in the early beginning

Where did you go?

Immaculate friend

For a lifetime I'm grateful

And it's only seconds away

Big Sleep, Deep Sleep

For evermore

If only you could see me

If only you could see me

If only you could see

Forever

Coming home in the Big Sleep

Coming home

letra de Waterfront
Get in, get out of the rain

I'm goin' to move on up to the Waterfront

Step in, step out of the rain

I'm goin' to walk on up to the Waterfront

Said, one million years from today

I'm goin' to step on up to the Waterfront

Get in, get out of the rain

Come in, come out of the rain

So far, so good, so close, yet still so far

So far, so good, so close, yet still so

So far, so far, so far

The rain, I'm going to move on up to the Waterfront

Step in, step out of the rain

I'm going to walk on up to the Waterfront

Said, one million years from today

Step on up to the Waterfront

Said, come in, come out of the rain

Said, come in, come out of the rain

Said, come in, come out of the rain

I'm goin' to move on up to the front

I'm goin' to walk on up to the front

I'm goin' to live on up by the front

I'm goin' to walk on up to the front

Come in, come out of the rain

Come in, come out of the rain

Said, come in, come out of the rain

Come in, come out of the rain

Move on up, to step on up

Walk on up, live on up

Far away, far away, far away

So, walk away, so far, I walk away

So, so, walk away, up to the Waterfront

Up to the Waterfront

So far, so far

Promised you a miracle

Belief is a beauty thing

Promises promises

As golden days break wondering

Chance as love takes a train

Summer breeze and brilliant light

One love she sees

He controls on love

Love sails to a new life

Promised you a miracle

Belief is a beauty thing

Promises promises

As golden days break wondering

Only love she sees

He controls on love

Life mirrors a cure

Everything is possible

With promises

Everything is possible

Oh no

I promised you a miracle

Belief is a beauty thing

Promises promises

As golden days break wondering

Chance reflects on them a while

Love screams so quietly

Slipping back on golden times

Breathing with sweet memories

Promised you a miracle

Belief is a beauty thing

Promises promises

As golden days break wondering

Only love she sees

He controls on love

Life mirrors a cure

Everything is possible in the game of life

Everything is possible

Oh no

Chance lost pearls of great price

Take care of family

Only aches for love

Love waits for fame

In chance in chance they'll see

I promised you a miracle

Belief is a beauty thing

Promises promises

As golden days break wondering

Only love she sees

He controls on love

Life throws a cure

Everything is possible in the game of life

A burning dream

You can be Queen

Everything is possible

letra de Someone Somewhere in Summertime
Stay, I'm burning slow

With me in the rain, walking in the soft rain

Calling out my name

See me burning slow

Brilliant days, wake up on brilliant days

Shadows of brilliant ways will change all the time

Memories, burning gold memories

Gold of day memories change me in these times

Somewhere there is some place, that one million eyes can't see

And somewhere there is someone, who can see what I can see

Someone, Somewhere In Summertime

Someone, Somewhere In Summertime

Someone, Somewhere In Summertime

Moments burn, slow burning golden nights

Once more see city lights, holding candles to the flame

Brilliant days, wake up on brilliant days

Shadows of brilliant ways will change me all the time

Somewhere there is some place, that one million eyes can't see

And somewhere there is someone, who can see what I can see

Someone, Somewhere In Summertime

Someone, Somewhere In Summertime

Someone, Somewhere In Summertime

Someone, Somewhere In Summertime

Someone, Somewhere In Summertime

letra de Oh Jungleland
Somebody's screaming out

Somebody's knocking out

Somebody's calling out, come hear it again

Street bells are ringing out

Young girls are singing out

Boys are building up to be men

You've got the love

Then here comes the blood last

The father, the mother, the sister, the chain

Sweet inspirations

Or a cold hearted nations baby

The young man, the brothers, the killers explain

Oh Jungleland

They call you home sweet home

You make me feel so sad, to leave here all alone

But there is a kid called Hope

And he's holding out his hand

He sees the Northern Lights

above this highrise land

Oh Jungleland

Oh Jungleland

Oh Jungleland

In the city, get out the city pretty quick

I've got a prayer, I wanna sing it to you

It says, may little children forget the wild things

But no one listens cause nobody cares

When you've got the love drugs

And you've got the long nights

You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven

Here comes summer, here comes violence

Over your shoulder the soul boy explains

Oh Jungleland

They call you home sweet home

You make me feel so sad, to leave here all alone

But there is a kid called Hope

And he's holding out his hand

He sees the Northern Lights

above the highrise land

But blood is thicker than water

But blood is sweeter than Holy Lands

Unto the Devil a daughter

When my love sings it's an angel song she sings it

Don't look back, never look back

Don't look back, never look back

Oh Jungleland

letra de Alive and Kicking
You turn me on, you lift me up

And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you

You lift me up, don't you ever stop, I'm here with you

Now it's all or nothing

'Cause you say you'll follow through

You follow me, and I, I, I follow you

What you gonna do when things go wrong?

What you gonna do when it all cracks up?

What you gonna do when the Love burns down?

What you gonna do when the flames go up?

Who is gonna come and turn the tide?

What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?

Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?

Who's gonna save you?

Alive and Kicking

Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking

Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive

Oh you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see

Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come

And the lights that shine on

But if that don't mean nothing

Like if someday it should fall through

You'll take me home where the magic's from

And I'll be with you

What you gonna do when things go wrong?

What you gonna do when it all cracks up?

What you gonna do when the Love burns down?

What you gonna do when the flames go up?

Who is gonna come and turn the tide?

What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?

Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?

Don't say goodbye

Don't say goodbye

In the final seconds who's gonna save you?

Oh, Alive and Kicking

Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking

Oh, Alive and Kicking

Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking

letra de Once Upon a Time
And you

Yes you speak to me tonight

And you say so, say so

That once upon a time

When love, love was a white dove

And hope, long live hope, could spin the whole world 'round

I'm talking east to west

I'm talking lost and found

Get up to the mountain top

I'm going to drop unto the ground

That's once upon a time

You raise me up when I know you're around

But God only knows, what God only knows

You lift me up and you spin me around

God only knows, but God only knows

That's time

Time looked around herself

Time got excited

That's when we all got started

Still I hear you, yes still you speak to me tonight

You say then how come out of love, is all this cruelty arising?

Well I said, look, well will you look at you, you're frightened

I see that you smile through weariness

But there is not much else enlightened

Well, that's a question down to time

You life me up when I know you're around

God only knows, God only knows

Still you raise me up when I know you're around

God only knows, God only knows

That's time

letra de Book of Brilliant Things
Thank you for the voice, the eyes and the memories shine

Thank you for the pictures of living in the beautiful black and the white

Some say we'll be together for a very long time

Some say that our first impressions never will lie

I open up to take a look into the bright and shiny book

Into the open scheme of things

Book of brilliant things

Book of brilliant things

I open up to take a look into the bright and shiny book;

Into the open scheme of things

Book of brilliant things

Oh, book of brilliant things

I thank you for the shadows

It takes two or three to make company

I thank you for the lightning that shoots up and sparkles in the rain

Some say this could be the great divide

Some day some of them say that our hearts will beat

Like the wheels of the fast train, all around the world

I open up to take a look into the bright and shiny book

Into the open scheme of things

Book of brilliant things

Book of brilliant things

Some say we can be together for a very long time

Some say our hearts will beat like the wheels of a fast train

All around the world

All around the world

All around the world

Some say our hearts beat like the wheels of a fast train

All around the world

All around, all around, around, around

All around the world

Our hearts beat like the wheels of a fast train

A very long time

All around and all around and all around and all around the world

Some say we'll be together

Some say

A very long time, some of them will say

A very long time all around the world

We go walking, hand in hand

All across the land it's East At Easter

People walking hand in hand

When ships are moving south it will be East at Easter

We will rock you, rock you little child

We will rock you, rock you little child

All across the land it's East At Easter

All across the land it's East At Easter

Things will lighten up the sky, East At Easter

Things will lighten up the sky, East At Easter

We'll go walking hand in hand

'Cause all across the land it will be East At Easter

Ah, we will rock you, rock you little child

We will rock you, rock you little child

All across the land it's East At Easter

When ships go moving south it will be East At Easter

They're gonna lighten up the sky

They're gonna lighten up the sky

They're gonna lighten up the sky

East At Easter

Ah, we'll go walking hand in hand

We'll go walking hand in hand, yes

We will rock you, rock you little child

We will rock you, rock you

Rock you little child

When they lighten up the sky it will be East At Easter

We will rock you, rock you, rock you

letra de Sanctify Yourself
Is this the age of the thunder and rage

Can you feel the ground move 'round your feet

If you take one step closer, it'll lead to another

The crossroad above is where we meet

I shout out for shelter, I need you for something

The whole world is out, they're all on the street

Control yourself, love is all you need

Control yourself, in your eyes

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Be apart of me, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, set yourself free

In pictures of living, in bloodshot a vision

Sweet miracles and strange circumstances

I see the sun up, the showdown, the cool winds that blow down

On the big beat that life-long romance is

You've got a gun in your hand, you're making self plans

Stay with me all through the night

Control yourself, love is all you need

Control yourself, open up your heart

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Be apart of me, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, set yourself free

You can't stop the world for a boy or a girl

Sweet victims of poor circumstances

But you can pour back the love, sweeping down from above

Giving hope and making more chances

Well, I hope and I pray that maybe someday

You'll come back down here and show me the way

Control yourself, love is all you need

Control yourself, open up your heart

Open up your heart

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, sanctify

Sanctify yourself, set yourself free
