Heat of the Moment

I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in 82
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

Only Time Will Tell

You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that I would have know by now

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

{Only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell
{Only time will tell}
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that I would have know by now

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

(Only time will tell)
You're on your own
Inside your room
(Only time will tell)
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now

(Only time will tell)
One thing is sure
That time will tell…

Military Man

The fighting's over now
There's nowhere left to run
My ammunition's out
I'd better put down my gun
And as I face this life of fear
I'd better keep my conscience clear
Inside my mind I'm out of it
And I ain't never coming back

So don't come running here to find me
'Cos I'm a military man
And as I spin this wheel of fortune
In my military world
I'm a military man

The architects of time
Are calling me
But I don't believe it
Necessarily
And as I face this life of fear
Break the chains
That bind me here
Inside my head I'm out of it
But I'm still never coming back

So don't come running here to find me
'Cos I'm a military man
And as I spin this wheel of fortune
In my military world
I'm a military man

I'm a military man
Just a military man yes I am

Two Sides of the Moon

Laser, breathing on my window
Two strings, beating out of time
Koto, warning of the danger
Wake up, is your head still mine?

Now they give you reasons
To fight for love

That's enough
In a paper world
That's enough
Said the Chinese girl
That's enough
Another city falls
Just because we're two sides of the moon

Data, streaming through my window
Chrome stars, whispering their lies
Black sky, hides approaching stranger
Reach out, two should now be one

Disregard the reasons
And look above

That's enough
In a paper world
That's enough
Said the Siamese girl
That's enough
Another city falls
Just because we're two sides of the moon

Heart of Gold

We are the future within our dome
A new generation, we live alone
Washed the words from the subway wall
We had to fight to survive
You still can have it all
So listen to our cry

With a mind of steel, but a heart of gold
The winds of change you can move the stone
By the hands of love you must free the soul
To live forever with a heart of gold

We are the future, we hold the key
The messengers are calling, "wake up your race"
All but man did turn to dust
Then we saw her fall
Cut her down by the sword of greed
So listen to our cry

With a mind of steel, but a heart of gold
The winds of change you can move the stone
By the hands of love you must free the soul
To live forever with a heart of gold

With a mind of steel, but a heart of gold
The winds of change you can move the stone
By the hands of love you must free the soul
To live forever with a heart of gold

You are the future, it's up to you
You are the future, it's up to you

The Heat Goes On

You walk tall, got your head in the clouds
You talk soft, but you're thinking aloud
And you know, exactly what you want

You box shy, you're hard to get
You got the face that I can't forget
And I know, I know The Heat Goes On

I know that The Heat Goes On
I know that The Heat Goes On

You play tight, you're nobody's fool
You're not cold, but I know that you're cool
Look at you, I know The Heat Goes On

Now tell me, with your hand on you're heart
That you knew, you were right from the start
And you're sure, you felt it all along

You know that The Heat Goes On
You know that The Heat Goes On

Times to decide, times that I've lied
Problems will never be solved
Which way is wrong, which could be right?
This heat will always go on

You walk tall, got your head in the clouds
You talk soft, but you're thinking aloud
And you know, exactly what you want

You box shy, you're hard to get
You got the face that I'll never forget
You and I know, we know The Heat Goes On

Go

Dig for victory, go for gold
I don't wanna die before I get old
And I wonder where I'm going to
There's some way out, there's some way through
But I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm down again
My direction is changing, which way,
Which way can I go...

Get up and go

You start me up, you slow me down
No one can deny you get around
When you're hot, you're cold, you're in between
Asking myself what does it mean?
And I walk that tightrope, you should know
I'm losing my balance, maybe,
Maybe I should go...

Get up and go

Face to face in sympathy
But now you turn your back on me
Turn a card and win, but you may lose
Fate only has that right to choose
If you're right, leave me here, I'll die alone
You've got the time, you've just got time
You got the time just go...

Get up and go
Go

Just go…

That Season

I told her, I'd hold her
All through that first cold winter
Defend her, protect her
From our darkest demons

Then spring came, our world changed
We found a different corner
Still heading, still searching
For what we had that season

I thought I was so strong, a man on a blue mountain
The sword in my hand, but my thoughts in the clouds then
See them
Hear them

I would never change another day
If that season was the one to stay
I swear I'd never change another day

Ten years now, I've waited
For that coldest winter
No whiter, no wiser
And all we hear is thunder

I thought I was so strong, a father on a mountain
The sword in my hand, but my thoughts in the clouds then
See them
Hear them

I would never change another day
If that season was the one to stay
I swear I'd never change another day

I would never change another day
If that season was the one to stay
I swear I'd never change another day

Ten years now, I've waited
For that coldest winter
No wiser, no whiter
Oh how I miss that season

Don't Cry

Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you’ve always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh

Don't cry now that I’ve found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little Darling please don't cry

I knew I’d never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Don't think of all that’s been before

I'll hear you when you’re calling
I'll catch you when you’re falling
Don't worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh

Don't cry now that I've found you…
Don't cry now that I've found you…

Who Will Stop the Rain?

This problem is insoluble
The answers seem impossible
The logic ceases to exist
Emotion is the beat we miss

I stand on a world
Where dreams, realities, existence are the same
We take from the mother's skin
But the world is not to blame

Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know
So who can stop the rain?
We've lost the path for all we know
Now tell me when will it start again?
And as the old man lifts his hands
Please can you stop the rain?

Stars fall far away
Like they never did before
A new moon shining
Like it never will again

Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know
So who can stop the rain?
We've lost the path for all we know
Now tell me when will it start again?
And as the old man lifts his hands
Please can you stop the rain?

Desert white cloud
Spirits they sing
Rain falls from the big sky
Onto broken wing

There is no sense in turning back
To wash the debris from the track
World without fears without rhyme
We fought for peace within our time

Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know
So who can stop the rain?
We've lost the path for all we know
Now tell me when will it start again?
And as the old man lifts his hands
Please can you stop the rain?

Someday

Don't want to live in another world
Don't want to dream of another girl
That's the way it was meant to be

I couldn't sleep through the lonely night
I just cried till the morning
It's not the way it was meant to be

Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love my shine on you
Someday you may find the one

You didn't leave me, you ran away
Couldn't face what you had to say
It's not the way it was meant to be

Now you can live in your other world
Me, i've found me another girl
And that's the way it was meant to be

Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love my shine on you
Someday you may find the one

When I dream, I dream of one world
But I know there's no such place
If I could ever find that one girl
In my world, in my world

Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love my shine on you
Someday you may find the one

The Hunter

It don't come easy, that's understood
Faint-hearted loser, that's no good
Just take a lesson from the great Mohammed
He said... He said...

Pick up a rifle, you must be strong
To take a title, can be so long
If you believe, you can't go wrong
I said... I said... Listen

He's a fighter, he's my friend,
Always winning in the end,
He's no angel, he's no fool,
Never plays it by the rule,
Take the glory, steal the prize,
Only The Hunter, Only The Hunter

You took your chances, you hurt your pride
A sense of failure, is hard to hard
You crossed the limit, you broke the code
Back on the road... Remember?

He's a rival, he's my friend,
Always winning in the end,
He's a tiger, he's a swan,
He's the one I'm counting on,
To take the glory, steal the prize,
Only The Hunter, Only The Hunter survives

I'm on the outside, I'm looking in
Through the lenses, then into film
I've got the target set in my sights
I see a vision of truth... Look out!

We're gonna fight until we drop,
We're gonna get back to the top,
We're gonna be the first in line,
Winners till the end of time

Only The Hunter, Only The Hunter,
Only The Hunter, Only The Hunter,
Survives

Different Worlds

Time and tide,
Are the dreams that come and go,
They wait for no man on the shore.
Should you step,
In the same dark river twice,
Let it wash the sins away,

Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And I know, it's a different world today,
And I know, to another God we pray,
And I know, we're in different worlds today.

Here I stand,
My philosophy held high,
Like a preacher in a foreign land.
And here we walk,
In the wilderness of sands,
With the prophet and the holy man.

Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And I know, it's a different world today,
And I know, to another God we pray,
And I know, we're in different worlds today,
And I know, it's a different world today.

They're burning the Book, they're burning the faith,
Our dream will be over,
Let's wake from the sleep, a legion we'll be,
To live forever.

I know I as wrong, I have to put it right,
I just can't let it slip away,
'Cause it's a different world today.

Different world, different world, different world today,
Is it a better world today?
