01. Midnight Flyer

I'm not leaving, im just going somewhere else
Far beyond the sights and the whispers
And the weakness of myself
Now is not the time to think of all i've lost
There are skylines left to conquer
There are oceans left to cross

I have raged against the dying of the light
But no miracles are saving me tonight

I'm a midnight flyer
Rushing through the storm
I got lost without your loving
And i can't find my way home
I'm a midnight flyer
Coming for your soul
I'm a stranger to myself
But i still long for the unknown
I said Ooh
Midnight flyer
Don't leave me here alone

I'm en route towards the dawning of the day
By the time the clouds are breaking
I just hope i found my way
It's not over but the end is drawing near
Here's a toast to new beginnings
And to all i once held dear

I gaze into the cold and scorching sun
If the darkness will embrace me when i'm done

I'm a midnight flyer
Rushing through the storm
I got lost without your loving
And i can't find my way home
I'm a midnight flyer
Coming for your soul
I'm a stranger to myself
But i still long for the unknown
I said Ooh
Midnight flyer
Don't leave me here alone

02. Star Of Rio

I've been looking for a place to retreat
Put a smile on my face and some shoes on my feet
Tend to overlook what i've been through
Lived a life in the sun now the damage is you

'Cause it goes round round round
Round round round
The sun goes down down
Down down down

Shining alone
My star of Rio
Driving along the moonlit sands
Shining alone
And all I feel
Slipping like pearls
Right through my hands
Shining alone
My star of Rio
You'll always light my empty skies
Although you're gone
I still can feel
You're always there and for tonight
You will be my guiding light
'Cause my Rio she's a riddle

When I look into your turquoise eyes
There's no doubt in my mind, I'll be safe 'till I die
Turning every coin that I ever earned
Just to be with you, hope you want me too...

Cause she's a real go-getter
She's got a lot at stake
She's a desperate woman
She'll always win you over when no one else will be there

'Cause it goes round round round
Round round round
The sun goes down down
Down down down

Shining alone
My star of Rio
Driving along the moonlit sands
Shining alone
And all I feel
Slipping like pearls
Right through my hands
Shining alone
My star of Rio
You'll always light my empty skies
Although you're gone
I still can feel
You're always there and for tonight
You will be my guiding light
'Cause my Rio she's a riddle

03. Gemini

Silent and stareless
With a sliver of the moon
I just look to the sky
In search for a sign
A glimpse of you

Bodies in orbit
And a signal from afar
As i look to the skies
I'm dying to be right where you are
My falling star

The way our mind's entwine
Maybe there's a way i could make you mine

Oh
I can feel you, Gemini
Feel a shimmer of your light inside
And i'm fighting not to lose control
Oh And if the speed of light
Could bring you to my arms tonight
I would never let you go
Ohohooh

Quiet and boundless
Where no man has gone before
When decoding the words you sent me
I look for something more

Shivering silence
Without heat to fill your space
As i look to the skies
I still feel the warmth of your embrace
I see your face

The way our minds entwine
Maybe there's a way i could make you mine

Oh
I can feel you, Gemini
Feel a shimmer of your light inside
And i'm fight not to lose control
Oh
And if the speed of light
Could bring you in my arms tonight
I would never let you go

04. Sad State Of Affairs

I used to roam the streets of the city
I took the loving i could find
It took one sweet mistake
And these days i'm afraid i'm going blind
'Cause now i can't let you go

It's a sad state of affairs
Now that my heart ain't going anywhere and no
No one told me it's too late to run
Once the damage is done
Oh
It's a sad state of affairs
Now that my heart ain't going anywhere and no
No one told me it's too late to run
One the damage is done

They say that time is waiting for noone
And life's too short to figure it out
It took one sweet mistake
And i guess i will be living with my doubts
'Cause now i can't let you go

It's a sad state of affairs
Now that my heart ain't going anywhere and no
No one told me it's too late to run
Once the damage is done
Oh
It's a sad state of affairs
Now that my heart ain't going anywhere and no
No one told me it's too late to run
One the damage is done

Now every door just seems to be closing
I've given up on trying to escape
With all my secrets out in the open
I don't know just how much more my heart can take

Oh
It's a sad state of affairs
Now that my heart ain't going anywhere and no
No one told me it's too late to run
Once the damage is done
Oh
It's a sad state of affairs
Now that my heart ain't going anywhere and no
No one told me it's too late to run
Once the damage is done

05. Jennie

Any other day i would long for the sound
Every little noise that was you
But it was silence we used to confide
Just simply sharing the truth

I'll be there if the world let's you down
Everything would be different this time around

Jennie, what is taking so long
Everybody's playing your song
I just can't believe it
Jennie, now where did we go wrong
Lost among the stars, you're alone
I just can't believe it's true

And i saw your face on the screen just tonight
Telling us all what to do
Officer flair and american eyes
You know th bridge deck's not you

I'll be there if the world let's you down
Everything would be different this time around

Jennie, what is taking so long
Everybody's playing your song
I just can't believe it
Jennie, now where did we go wrong
Lost among the stars, you're alone
I just can't believe it's true

Now gas clouds and lightning's getting closer
You're the one to bring us home
Though nobody's there to share your worries
You don't have to do it
On
Your
Own

Jennie, what is taking so long
Everybody's playing your song
I just can't believe it
Jennie, now where did we go wrong
Lost among the stars, you're alone
I just can't believe it's true

06. Domino

I was lost in vienna
With the devil on my trail
I'd just arrived from venice
Got your letter in the mail
How you sealed the words you wrote
With a kiss and scarlet lipstick traces

You wrote
"There's a place for us out in the night
Where we can disappear without a sign
Just follow me out into the unknown
From now on you're not alone"

Domino
The games we played have found a way inside, you know
Gambling with my heart
Domino
The way you danced beneath the monlight made you glow
I've fallen way too far
This might be the last time so bring out the champagne and
Dance for me

You looked bored at the gallery
But the artist was a friend
Our eyes met and right then
I knew this night would never end
Smoking german cigarettes
French perfume, the air of foreign places

You wrote
"There's a place for us out in the night
Where we can disappear without a sign
Just follow me out into the unknown
From now on you're not alone"

Domino
The games we played have found a way inside, you know
Gambling with my heart
Domino
The way you danced beneath the monlight made you glow
I've fallen way too far
This might be the last time so bring out the champagne and
Dance for me

You wrote
"There's a place for us out in the night
Where we can disappear without a sign
Just follow me out into the unknown
From now on you're not alone"

Domino
The games we played have found a way inside, you know
Gambling with my heart
Domino
The way you danced beneath the moonlight mad you glow
I've fallen way too far

07. Josephine

Tried to get me some action
I was drunk and lost in a dream
I was asking the dj to play
Edge of seventeen

Felt a presence behind me, and I
Slowly turned around
She was shrouded in darkness and I
Knew where i was bound

Josephine
Your song it was written long ago
Josephine
If something has changed just tell me so
'Cause this has gone on for too long
We were nothing but strangers
Just a chance encounter in the night
But i can't seem to let you go
You're still in my dreams
Josephine

A blue haired girl from michigan
Running from the past, she was
Getting lost inthe tokyo night
And her mind was speeding fast

Josephine
Your song it was written long ago
Josephine
If something has changed just tell me so
'Cause this has gone on for too long
We were nothing but strangers
Just a chance encounter in the night
But i can't seem to let you go
You're still in my dreams
Josephine

08. Space Whisperer

Like a shadow with no substance
Radiating from your gaze
I could feel you in the distance
Wasting starlight from another place in space

It's not love, you know
Just a face you didn't show
Like a funny conversation with someone you didn't know
It's not love, you see
Just a distant memory
Of a satellite transmission from a world i didn't see
Space whisper

Now, I didn't see it coming
When you set my world ablaze
Baby, now you've got me running
Burning moonlight from anonther place in space

It's not love, you know
Just a place you didn't go
Like a spectral variation with a different kind of glow
It's not love, you see
Just a distant memory
Or a fading contradiction of the man i'll never be
Space whisper

It's not love, you know
Just a face you didn't show
Like a funny converstation with someone you didn't know
It's not love, you see
Just a distant memory
Of a satellite transmission from a world i didn't see
Space whisper

09. Something Mysterious

Easy Livin', Back on the road
But she carries a heavy load
Disconnected, out on her own
She glides in blue towards the unknown

She tries to make her mind up
Tries to make her mind up
Caught in the space between
She tries to make her mind up
Tries to make her mind up
Stay on the road or get lost in a dream

Light up the sky
Like something mysterious
Light up the night
Like silver and gold
Light up the sky
Like something mysterious
Everything changes
The future unfolds tonight

Broken armor, abandoned arcades
She will make it, whatever it takes
Misty violets, clouds promise rain
Ans she's speeding, escaping the pain

She tries to make her mind up
Tries to make her mind up
Caught in the space between
She tries to make her mind up
Tries to make her mind up
Stay on the road or get lost in a dream

Light up the sky
Like something mysterious
Light up the night
Like silver and gold
Light up the sky
like something mysterious
Everything changes
The future unfolds tonight
