It's been too long, it's been too far gone
Since the dream of our life went astray
Now I'm here, in a sea of fear
Trying to fight every day

It's deadly, it's vicious
Look what you're doing to me
It's evil, grotesque
What do you want from me?
This drama, so sad
This is not how it should be
Just leave me - alone!
It's all that I have to say!

Ohohoho - let's end this deadly Charade
Ohohoho - let's end this evil Charade

Since you've been gone, my life comes undone
But can't keep from making me bleed
Can't you see, we're not meant to be
We have failed from the very first start

It's deadly, it's vicious
Look what you're doing to me
It's evil, grotesque
What do you want from me?
This drama, so sad
This is not how it should be
Just leave me - alone!
It's all that I have to say!

Ohohoho - let's end this deadly Charade
(It's my life, can't you see?)
Ohohoho - let's end this evil Charade
Ohohoho - let's end this deadly Charade
Ohohoho - let's end this evil Charade
(This was never meant to be)

Out of my life - let's end this deadly Charade
(It's my life, can't you see?)
Free from this live - please end this evil Charade
Ohohoho - let's end this deadly Charade
Ohohoho - let's end this evil Charade

Out in the fields, over hills and mountains
Far from the blood we all came from

The source of our dreams and ancient legends
A fountain of truth for those who believe

Come with me, dream with me
There's much more than the eye can see
Free your feel, feel your dream
Don't hide from what you know should be

We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
There's more to reach in your life
There's more to find if you believe
We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
The magic of the freedom that lies in everyone
Hey!

They come from the valleys, the hills and the desert
The magical spirit will guide us all

Search for the truth, search for the blind faith
Long lost inside your frozen heart

Come with me, dream with me
There's much more than the eye can see
Free your feel, feel your dream
Don't hide from what you know should be

We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
There's more to reach in your life
There's more to find if you believe
We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
The magic of the freedom that lies in everyone
Hey!

Come with me, dream with me
There's much more than the eye can see
Free your feel, feel your dream
Don't hide from what you know should be

We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
There's more to reach in your life
There's more to find if you believe
We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
The magic of the freedom that lies in everyone
Hey!

Got a good reason for taking the easy way out
Got a good reason for taking the easy way out now

She was a Day Tripper, one-way ticket yeah
It took me so long to find out, but I found out

She's a big teaser, she took me half way there
She's a big teaser, she took me half way there now

She was a Day Tripper, one-way ticket yeah
It took me so long to find out, but I found out

She was a Day Tripper, a Sunday driver, yeah
Day Tripper, a Sunday driver, yeah

Something pulls me back to you
Something makes me "hiding away"
Hard to be strong, when it feels go inside
Trying to lose control

My own heart still longs to see
What my eyes have never dared to touch
Holding me back, when I need to let go
It's not how it's meant to be

So hard to stay away from you - so hard to stay apart
Can't keep myself from touching you - still we're
Strangers from the Heart

Counting the days, the hours we spent
Writing letters I will never sent
I know this is wrong but it feels good inside
Heaven is where you are

So hard to stay away from you - so hard to stay apart
Can't keep myself from touching you - still we're
Strangers From The Heart

Still it's my life that I'm living
This is what I did choose
I just can't keep from feelin'
But there is so much left to lose!

So hard to stay away from you - so hard to stay apart
Can't keep myself from touching you - still we're
Strangers From The Heart

It's time to make my final decision
I'm gonna leave this cruel world
Don't wanna go in this any deeper
Don't wanna hide from my own hurts

Can't face my demons
Struggling in my head
Can't keep the voices from screaming
I am about to explode

No longer run, no longer hide
No more denying what's burning inside

Can't kill this pain, a soul on the run
This resurrection's already begun

Drowning myself, drowning my past
Knowing that my inner pressure would last

No longer run, no longer hide
No more denying what's burning inside

I will use this fever - time to make decisions
No more broken dreams and no more Blackhole Visions
I will drown my sorrow - it's the right decision
No more broken dreams and no more Blackhole Visions

And now the dark side of my heart
Controls my every move
It feels so good letting myself go
This life can give so much more

Can't face this chaos, ruling my head

My life's been wasted for so long
And now it's time for a change!

No longer run, no longer hide
No more denying what's burning inside

Can't kill this pain, a soul on the run
This resurrection's already begun

Drowning myself, drowning my past
Knowing that my inner pressure would last

No longer run, no longer hide
No more denying what's burning inside

I will use this fever - time to make decisions
No more broken dreams and no more Blackhole Visions
I will drown my sorrow - it's the right decision
No more broken dreams and no more Blackhole Visions

(Oh no) How can I believe in me
(Oh no) Waiting so long to be free
(Oh no) How can I believe in me
(Oh no) Waiting so long to be free
(Oh no) How can I believe in me
(Oh no) Waiting so long to be free

Wintertime is fading
Feel the sun comes up again
And the night becomes my friend
This special scent just fills the air

Wintertime is fading
My own heart pushes me up
And the night becomes my friend
Everything seems to awake
Springtime's getting higher
Feel the heat is coming out
Yes the night's the place to be
My lover's sweat to cover me

Everything's to change
Time to rearrange
Time to live and be reborn again

Everything's to die
It's the way of life
A change of seasons is right here tonight

I see circles when I look above to the moon
(Circles 'round sun and moon)
Shades of grey while my eyes try to reach for the sun
(Circles 'round sun and moon)

Summer's growing colder
Still the air is full of sound
And the music's slowing down
Still there's magic all around

And when fall is falling
Shadows growing far too long
Yearning, howling at the moon
Everything just starts again

Everything's to change
Time to rearrange
Time to live and be reborn again

Everything's to die
It's the way of life
A change of seasons is right here tonight

I see circles when I look above to the moon
(Circles 'round sun and moon)
Shades of grey while my eyes try to reach for the sun
(Circles 'round sun and moon)

Count on love - uuh yeah!
Count on love - whoohoo
Don't count on, don't count on

Count on love - oh won't you count on love my baby
Count on love
Don't count on, don't count on

Blue-eyed darlin', young and sweet
Dreams of a lovin', to set her free
Tries to hold on to her dream
Waits for someone to make her feel

Cries herself to sleep tonight
No one here to hold her tight - no

Bittersweet, the hurting kind
All she ever kept inside
Dared to share her dreams at night
No one here to hold her tight

Don't Count, Don't Count on Love
You can get more from life, than you're dreaming of
Oh honey
Don't Count, Don't Count on Love
Lonely nights
Don't last forever

Count on love
Don't count on, don't count on

Shy little schoolgirl far from home
In the arms of a stranger she feels so alone
On the hunt every evening, she broke a thousand hearts
Never stays forever - she is gone!

Cries herself to sleep tonight
No one here to hold her tight, no, no, no

Bittersweet, the hurting kind
All she ever kept inside
Dared to share her dreams at night
No one here to hold her tight

Don't Count, Don't Count on Love
You can get more from life, than you're dreaming of
Oh honey
Don't Count, Don't Count on Love
Lonely nights
Don't last forever

Count on love - oh won't you count on love, my baby
Count on love
Don't count on, don't count on

Long time ago, when mystery was all we knew
The earth was sleeping and holiness was all around us

Long time ago, when harmony was all we knew
The earth awaking - it keeps repeating every

New

Day dawning
Each morning - oh
Day dawning
Each morning - oh

As we see the light

Wake with the Spirit Of The Sun (source of life
Truth is the Spirit Of The Sun (feel the light)
Wake with the Spirit Of The Sun (source of life)
Truth is the Spirit Of The Sun

Long time ago, when agony was all we knew
Our hearts were freezing
The darkest shade was all around us

Long time ago, when loneliness was all we knew
Our hearts awaking - resurrecting every

New

Day dawning
Each morning - oh
Day dawning
Each morning - oh

As we see the light

Wake with the Spirit Of The Sun (source of life
Truth is the Spirit Of The Sun (feel the light)
Wake with the Spirit Of The Sun (source of life)
Truth is the Spirit Of The Sun

Feel the
See the
Feel the light

I am far away from heaven, time turns to the great escape, the great escape
I've been stranded here forever, some other place where no one waits, no one waits forever

Free, sailing on a sea of dreams
Life, nothing's ever what it seems
Time to get some living

This is Almost Eden, just what I believe in
Don't hang on, won't be gone
This is Almost Eden, more than I have needed
I'll stay strong, from now on
I will be
The one that you can always lean on
The one that you have always dreamed of
Almost Eden

We are flying with the angels, we don't need no heaven to feel free, to feel free
Our hearts pounding like a big drum, leading the way to another dream, but we are far from dreaming

Near, where we've been before (where we've never been before)
Now, closer to a different shore (getting closer now)
Time to start believing

This is Almost Eden, just what I believe in
Don't hang on, won't be gone
This is Almost Eden, more than I have needed
I'll stay strong, from now on
I will be
The one that you can always lean on
The one that you have always dreamed of
Almost Eden, Almost Eden
Almost Eden

Hold on to a dream, close to me
Hold on to a dream, trust in me

This is Almost Eden, just what I believe in
Don't hang on, won't be gone
This is Almost Eden, more than I have needed
I'll stay strong, from now on
I will be
The one that you can always lean on
The one that you have always dreamed of
The one that you can always turn to
The one that you can always run to
Almost Eden
Almost Eden

Almost Eden - Almost Eden - Almost

Lonely sidewalks, neon mirrors
Beating of a stone cold heart
Concrete feelings, keep on breathing
Dusty perfume in the dark

I'm cruising still here in
Bleeding still

This is Downtown Babylon

I welcome you here in
Fears come true

This is neon darkness
This is Downtown Babylon

Cheap romancing, body's boiling
Souls lost in the wishing-well
Burning bridges, gutter divas
Fall in love with agony

I'm cruising still here in
Still bleeding

This is Downtown Babylon

I welcome you here in
Fears come true

This is neon darkness
This is all that matters
This is street-life dreaming
This is concrete yearning
These are instant feelings
This is neon darkness
This is all that matters
Life in Downtown Babylon

I welcome you here in
Fears come true
This is Downtown Babylon

I'm cruising still here in
Bleeding still

This is neon darkness
I welcome you here in
Fears come true
Welcome you here in
Fears come true
Welcome you

Downtown, Downtown, Downtown

Well I've always been a dreamer
I've always tried my best to be free, so free
But as soon as you start trying
You're half way where you're losing yourself

No one ever should be cheatin'
Only true love hurts
I can't trust my heart so blue (my heart so blue)
Don't believe in what I'm feelin'
Only true love hurts
I know I should be over you

Heart On The Line, Heart On The Line
I feel that my heart this time is just doing time
Stop wasting my time, chasing my time
Stop fighting this love with my heart on
Heart On The Line

When your heart is bleedin'
It's way too hard to find what you need
It's like searching for a new love
Love strikes like lightning, takes you by storm, by storm

No one ever should be cheatin'
Only true love hurts
I can't trust my heart so blue (my heart so blue)
Don't believe in what I'm feelin'
Only true love hurts
I know I should be over you

Heart On The Line, Heart On The Line
I feel that my heart this time is just doing time
Stop wasting my time, chasing my time
Stop fighting this love with my heart on
Heart On The Line

C'mon!

Experience XTC, the time is right for me
Forget my troubles, leave 'em behind
Experience XTC, the time is right for me
Follow my spirit, my heart leads the way

Don't need no Ecstasy, these pills don't work with me
Don't need no feeder in no chemistry
The only one is me, the only way to be
I'm standing taller than I've ever been

I - I only live for the moment
Tomorrow can wait
I wipe off the dirt all the time

Experience XTC, the time is right for me
Forget my troubles, leave 'em behind
Experience XTC, the time is right for me
I'm not what others just want me to be

It's my life can't you see, my own philosophy
I've grown from all of the things I have done
Bareepdadeepdadee - live it in dignity
Rise up with all of your feelings so strong

I - I only live for the moment
Tomorrow can wait
I wipe off the dirt all the time

C'mon

Experience XTC, Experience XTC
Experience XTC, Experience XTC
Experience XTC, Experience XTC

I - I only live for the moment
Tomorrow can wait
I wipe off the dirt all the time
