Alice Alice pressed against the wall So she can see the door In case the laughing strangers crawl and Crush the petals on the floor Alice in her party dress She thanks you kindly So serene She needs you like she needs her tranqs To tell her that the world is clean To promise her a definition Tell her where the rain will fall Tell her where the sun shines bright And tell her she can have it all Today Pass the crystal spread the Tarot In illusion comfort lies The safest way the straight and narrow No confusion no surprise Alice in her party dressed to kill She thanks you turns away Needs you like she needs needs her pills To tell her that the world's okay To promise her a definition Tell her where the rain will fall Tell her where the sun shines bright And tell her she can have it all Today Today Alice Don't give it away No

Floorshow The bodies on the naked on the low damp ground In the violet hour to the violent sound And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine And the voices singing line on line This is the floorshow the clapping hands Animal flow from the animal glands In the violent hour to the violent sound Going round and around and around and around and around I feel the bite I feel the beat I see the dancing feet I feel the light I feel the heat I see the new elite I see the final floorshow I see the western dream I see the faces glow and I see the bodies steam See them shimmy see them go See their painted faces glow Slow slow quick quick slow See those pagans go go go go go Well this is the floorshow the last ideal It's populist got mass appeal The old religion redefined For the facile futile totally blind For the totally blind Mundane by day inane at night Pagan playing in the flashing light In the violet hour to the violent sound Going round and around and around and around and around And the bodies on the naked on the low damp ground In the violet hour to the violent sound And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine And the voices singing line on line See them shimmy see them go See their painted faces glow Slow slow quick quick slow See those pagans go go go go go

Lights The lights shine clear through the sodium haze The night draws near and the daylight fades Ignore the voices, discard the day For the brand new darkness for the bright new way Well there have been better plans But none that I could ever understand Emerald signal the green on black The lights say move say never look back And so I find another place where I've never been seen Find another place where the red turns green Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again Where the emerald glistens through the rain The lights shine clear through the sodium haze The night draws near and the daylight fades But there's a voice in the distance quiet and clear Saying something that I never ever wanted to hear Well there have been better plans But none that I could ever understand I see the emerald, see the signal, see the green on black See the lights say move say never look back And so I find another place where I'll never be seen Find another place where the red turns green Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again Where the emerald glistens through the rain rain rain And I'm happy here In the rain In the rain In the rain rain rain I'm happy here In the rain Where the emerald Glistens Through the rain

Valentine The razor bites and the shriek subsides He arches clutching at his sides Across the floor, across the tiles One man is dead and the razor smiles A shiny love song, a quick incision Cut him down on television A people come to this Beyond the age of reason A people fed on famine A people on their knees and A people eat each other A people stand in line Waiting for another war and Waiting for my valentine For a million empty faces For a million hollow smiles Cancer for my education Watch the body hit the files Waiting for another war and Waiting for my valentine

Fix A love for the pattern, love for the nation A love for the fix, for the fabrication A love for the corpse, for the corporation Love for the deaf and for the dedication No man stand the sastination (??) Don't give me no love, no more genocide They're givin me the love (??)

Burn Burn me a fire in the reptile house In the colour and the carnage fall me down My face in the fire in the reptile house And the kissing and the colour come crashing down In the fire in the reptile house In the colour and carnage fall me down My face in the fire in the reptile house The kissing and the colour come crashing down Down down down Down around me Down down down Down around In the fire in the reptile house In the colour and the carnage fall me down My face in the fire in the reptile house And the kissing and the colour come crashing down Down down down Down around me Down down down Around

Temple Of Love (Extended Version) With the fire from the fireworks up above me With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand You run for cover in the temple of love You run for another but still the same For the wind will blow my name across this land In the temple of love you hide together Believing pain and fear outside But someone near you rides the weather And the tears he cried will rain on Walls as wide as lovers' eyes In the temple of love: Shine like thunder In the temple of love: Cry like rain In the temple of love: Hear my calling In the temple of love: Hear my name And the devil in a black dress watches over My guardian angel walks away Life is short and love is always over in the morning Black wind come carry me far away With the sunlight died and night above me With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside You run for cover in the temple of love You run for another it's all the same For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside With the fire from the fireworks up above With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain You run for cover in the temple of love Shine like thunder cry like rain And the temple of love grows old and strong But the wind blows stronger cold and long And the temple of love will fall before this Black wind calls my name to you no more With the black sky thunder sweeping Underground and over water sounds Of crying weeping will not save Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar All your prayers must seem as nothing Ninety-six below the wave When stone is dust and only air remains In the temple of love: Shine like thunder In the temple of love: Cry like rain In the temple of love: Hear the calling And the temple of love is falling down In the temple of love: Shine like thunder In the temple of love: Cry like rain In the temple of love: Hear my calling In the temple of love: Hear my name With the black sky thunder sweeping Underground and over water sounds Of crying weeping will not save Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar All your prayers must seem as nothing Ninety-six below the wave When stone is dust and air remains The only haven you can trust And the devil in a black dress watches over My guardian angel walks away Life is short and love is always over in the morning Black wind come carry me far away With the fire from the fireworks up above With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain You run for cover in the temple of love Shine like thunder cry like rain And the temple of love grows old and strong But the wind blows stronger cold and long And the temple of love will fall before this Black wind calls my name to you no more In the temple of love you hide together Believing pain and fear outside But someone near you rides the weather And the tears he cried will rain on Walls as wide as lovers' eyes In the temple of love: Shine like thunder In the temple of love: Cry like rain In the temple of love: Hear the calling And the temple of love is falling down

The Damage Done Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the 4th floor. Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the dance floor Somebody tell me about the... I need to know about the... Somebody tell me about the perfect bomb The royal valley on a blitzkrieg bomb Somebody tell me how to use my gun tools Kiss the napalm in the afternoon I saw the film, I saw the place I live to work for the killing sake When I think you're knocked, when the radio died And the rhythm played from outside See the rebel and the damage done See the debris and the damage done See the wreckage and the damage done See the film, see the damage done Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the 4th floor. (This is the image, this is the place) Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the dance floor (This is the way the world will end) Somebody tell me about the... (The waltzing man have dancing eyes) I need to know about the... (This is the way the world will end) Me, I'm lost and the radio's dead Now I'm relaxed and the radio's dead The rhythm's gone, the radio's dead And the damage done inside my radio.

Watch Here's the story No time to lose (like the present) Now I've lost my friends Now I've lost my friends It's not my party, Never will be Feeling out-of-place, I'm not happy A touch of the storm clouds... Roughage in a comradeship and conversations Conversations, everything's so run-of-the-mill We stand still... And time slips back, And time slips back... Back to the garden, Time slips back We're back in the dark rooms Time slips back Back in the dark room Back to the dark age Put me on the rack We stand still Time slips back Recount movements Recount movements Watch us grow Watch us fall from grace Watch us fall flat on our face But you always fall on your feet Tell me how you always Fall on your feet Tell me how Tell me how Tell me how Tell me how Oh tell me how

Home Of The Hit-Men The sun shines on the aluminium I guess this must be the home of the hitmen

Body Electric Through the cables and the underground now The faceless breathless calls This is Babel, sensurround now This place is death with walls This place is death with walls This place is death with walls This place is death with walls Too much contact, no more feeling The sound around them all Acid on the floor so she walk on the ceiling And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall Crawling to the corners where the idiot children call And the body flashing on the bathroom wall Through the cables and the underground now This faceless breathless calls This is Babel, sensurround now This place is death with walls This place is death with walls This place is death with walls This place is death with walls Too much contact and no more feeling The sound around them all Acid on the floor so she walk on the ceiling And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall I see the body flashing on the bathroom wall

Adrenochrome We'll turn away in a passive decision We'll take the steps through the unmarked door A look back for another collision But the boys of the spires Are boys no more Not black and red boys Frightened by the night And by the Catholic monochrome The Catholic girls now Stark in their dark and whites Dread in monochrome The Sisters of Mercy High tide Wide eyed Sped on adrenochrome For the Sisters of Mercy Filled with Panic in their eyes Rise Dead on adrenochrome We had the power We had the space We had a sense of time and place We knew the words We knew the score We knew what we were fighting for For the freedom The time to choose But time to think Is time to lose The signals clash And disappear The shade too loud And the sound unclear For the High tide Wide eyed Dread in monochrome Denied in spite Disliked in monochrome Panic in their eyes Rise Dead and monochrome The Sisters of Mercy Spite On adrenochrome The way is clear The road is closed The damage done And the course Imposed you You turn away in a passive decision And take the steps through the unmarked door A look back for another collision But the boys of the spires Are boys no more Not black and red boys Frightened by the night And by the Catholic monochrome The Catholic girls now Stark in their dark and white And spread in monochrome The Sisters of Mercy High tide Wide eyed Sped on adrenochrome For the Sisters of Mercy Filled with Panic in their eyes Rise Dead on adrenochrome

Walk Away And in the summer when the clouds show through I might go the same way too if You and I could talk together Well what am I supposed to do with You and I would walk together then With always close around and Now you gaze toward the doorway When the weather comes falling down And when the rain comes down Would you choose to walk or stay, would you Choose to walk, would you choose to stay, would you Walk... away? Away Away Away Would you choose to walk away? And when the rain comes down Would you choose to walk or stay, would you Choose to walk, would you choose to stay, would you Walk... away?

Away Away Away Would you choose to walk away? Away

A Rock And A Hard Place And she came to look for me Sold me name and innocence Took my key And told me to follow her Down from igor with her bangles and her reference One from the church from the valley of the Well she wanted a haven and a place to hide So I gave her an alibi took her inside but A rock and a hard place await for me Between the devil and the deep blue sea Everything I ever did right or wrong Hid out of sight where I belong, belong And I didn't have the heart to tell her why And there wasn't a part of me that Didn't want to say goodbye but Cause and effect go hand in hand with The devil may care but I don't mind and I Thought she'd never quite understand so I Left her there that night but will she Find me?

Marian (version) In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home...

Nine While Nine And it's passing strange And I'm waiting for the train Caught up on this line again And it's passing slowly Killing time but it's Better than living in what will come and I've Still got some of your letters with me and I Thought sometimes or I read too much And I think you know let's Drink to the dead lying under the water and the Cost of the blood on the driven snow and the Lipstick on my cigarettes Frost upon the window pane Nine while nine and I'm waiting For the train... She said do you remember a time when angels Do you remember a time when fear In the days when I was stronger In the days when you were here she said When days had no beginning While days had no end when shadows Grew no longer I Knew no other friend but you Were wild You were wild... Frost upon these cigarettes Lipstick on the window pane and I've Lost all sense of the world outside but I Can't forget so I call your name and I'm Looking for a life for me and I'm Looking for a life for you and I'm Talking to myself again and it's So damn cold it's just not true and I'm walking Through the rain Trying to hold on waiting for the train and I'm Only looking for what you want but it's Lonely here and I think you knew and I'm And I'm waiting And I wait in vain Nine while nine and I'm waiting For the train... And I'm waiting And I wait in vain Nine while nine and I'm waiting For the train... And I'm waiting And I wait in vain Nine while nine and I'm waiting For the train...

Some Kind Of Stranger And yes I believe in what we had But words got in the way And only yesterday As I was leaving Lord knows I've tried to say but I've Heard a million conversations Going where they've been before Seen the way that careful lingers Undecided at the door And all I know for sure All I know for real Is knowing doesn't mean so much When placed against the feeling The heat inside When bodies meet When fingers touch All my words are secondhand and Useless in the face of this Rationale and rhyme and reason Pale beside a single kiss And I've heard so many things I Fail to understand at all I'd settle anytime for Unknown footsteps in the hall outside And all I know for sure All I know for real Is knowing doesn't mean so much When placed against the feeling The heat inside When bodies meet When fingers touch Because the world is cruel And promises are broken Don't try to tell me Anything don't try to tell me You'll be true to me you know the Real truth is never spoken And I know the world is cold but If you hold on tight to what you Find you might not mind too much though Even this must pass away and Memories may last for years but Names are just for souvenirs Some kind of angel let me Look into your eyes Don't give me whys and wherefores Reason or surprise I don't care for words that don't belong And I don't care what you're called Tell me later if at all I can wait a long long time Before I hear another love song Come here I think you're beautiful My door is open wide Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful beautiful Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful My door is open wide Some kind of stranger come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful beautiful Some kind of stranger come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful Some kind of stranger come inside ...

Flood I And her hallway Moves Like the ocean Moves At the head of the river At the source of the sea Sitting here now in this bar for hours Trying to write it down Fitting in hard with harder to come Trying to fight it Down the river there's a ship will carry you Down river down stream Down the river there's a ship will carry the Dream Dream of the flood Down the river there's a ship will carry the Dream of the flood And her hallway... As the water come rushing over As the water come rushing in As the water come rushing over Flood... Flood... Push the glass, stain the glass Push the writer to the wall It may come but it will pass Some say we will fall Dream of the flood... Flood... And her hallway...

Like... As the water come rushing in As the water come rushing over Sitting here now in this bar for hours While these strange men rent strange flowers I'll be picking up your petals in another few hours In the metal and blood, in the scent and mascara On a backcloth of lashes and stars In a flood of your tears, in sackcloth And ashes and ashes and secondhand passion And stolen guitars And her hallway... As the water come rushing in Like the sea As the water come rushing over Dream of the flood In a flood of your tears, in sackcloth And ashes and ashes And ashes and ashes And ashes and ashes And ashes and ashes and lies...

Lucretia My Reflection I hear the roar of a big machine Two worlds and in between Hot metal and methedrine I hear empire down I hear empire down I hear the roar of a big machine Two worlds and in between Love lost, fire at will Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear Dive, bombers, and Empire down Empire down I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed Get down, get undressed Get pretty but you and me, We got the kingdom, we got the key We got the empire, now as then, We don't doubt, we don't take direction Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me... We look hard We look through We look hard to see for real Such things I hear, they don't make sense I don't see much evidence I don't feel I don't feel I don't feel A long train held up by page on page A hard reign held up by rage Once a railroad Now it's done... I hear the roar of a big machine Two worlds and in between Hot metal and methedrine I hear empire down... We got the empire, now as then We don't doubt, we don't take reflection Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me...

Flood II And her hallway Moves Like the ocean Moves And her hallway Moves Like the sea Like the sea She says no no no no harm will come your way She says bring it on down, bring on the wave She says: nobody done no harm Grace of God and raise your arms She says: face it and it's a place to stay This, this is the way it was This, this is the way it is When the water come rushing, rushing in She says She says anytime Raise your arms Flood And her hallway Like... Like... Like a million voices call my name Like a million voices calling Not now, not never again... Sitting here now in this bar for hours Strange men rent strange flowers Seconds to the drop but it feels like hours and I Think I'm going to... going to... This, this is the way it was This, this is the way it is When the water come rushing, rushing in She says She says anytime Raise your arms Flood And her hallway... She says She says anytime Raise your arms Flood

Driven Like The Snow Still night, nothing for miles, White curtain come down, Kill the lights in the middle of the road And take a look around... It don't help to be one of the chosen One of the few, to be sure When the wheels are spinning around And the ground is frozen through, and you're Driven, like the snow Pure in heart Driven together And given Away to the west A white dress 'Til the river don't run A black dress Looking like mine 'Til the sun don't shine no more Where the sky meet the ground Where the street fold round Where the voice you hold don't Make no sound, look, Snow on the river and two by two, Took a lot to live a lot like you, I don't Go there now, but I hear they sung Their "Fuck Me And Marry Me Young" Somme wild idea and a big white bed, now You know better than that, I said, Like a voice in the wind blow little crystals down Like brittle things will break before they turn Like lipstick on my cigarette And the ice get harder overhead Like think it twice but never never learn... And the mist will wrap around us And the crystal, if you touch it... And the cars Lost in the drift Are there And the people that drive Lost in the drift Are there And the cares I've Lost in the drift Are there Theirs, ours, Lost in the drift Are... Driven Driven together And driven Apart

Neverland (a fragment) I had a face on the mirror I had a hand on the gun I had a place in the sun and a Ticket to Syria I had everything within my reach I had money and stuff Each and every call Too much but never enough Tear it up and watch it fall

Torch And now the torch And shadows lead Were it not so black and not so hard to see How can it help you when you don't know what you need How can anybody set you free? Would he walk upon the water If he couldn't walk away? And would you Would you carry the torch For me? And what if I gave you the key To the doors of your design... Lit the corridors of desire? Where it not so black And not so hard to see What use to you then any fire? Would he walk upon the water If he couldn't walk away? And would you Carry the torch for me? Would he walk upon the water If he couldn't walk away? And would you Would you carry the torch for me? Would you carry the torch For me? Would you carry the torch For me? Would you carry the torch For me?

Colours You reap what you sow Put your face to the ground Here come the marching men Your colours wrapped around

Under The Gun You don't have to say you're sorry To look on further down the line Into the sun Too close at heaven Love is fine But you can't hold it like a... Two worlds apart, two together Into that good night kiss away One takes the hard, one the other Kiss away Are you living for love? Are you living for love? When the road gets too tough Is your love strong enough? Are you living? Are you living for love? Are you living for love? Are you living? Are you living for love? Are you living for love? Do you feel your head is full of thunder? Questions never end? Empty nights alone? No wonder It all comes back again Are you living for love? Are you living for love? I've been under the gun I've lost and I've... Are you living for love? Are you living for love? I've been under the gun I've lost and I've won.. (two, three, four) Forget the many steps to heaven It never happened and it ain't so hard Happiness is a loaded weapon and a Short cut is better by far Explosive bolts, ten thousand volts At a million miles an hour Abrasive wheels and molten metals It's a semi-automatic, get in the car Corrosive heart and frozen heat We're worlds apart where we could meet Where the street fold round and the motors start And the idiot wields the power Where the chosen hold the highest card On the field of honour where the ground is hard So the highest hand is joking wild And the house soon fold and no one stand I put my finger on and dialled The tower, the moon, the gun, and Nine nine nine, singer down Cloudburst and all around The first are last, the blessed get wired The best is yet to come I put my finger on and fired Heat-seeking, out of the sun You can set the controls for the heart or the knees And the meek'll inherit what they damn well please Get ahead, go figure, go ahead and pull the trigger Everything under the gun

Temple Of Love (1992) With the fire from the fireworks up above me With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand You run for cover in the temple of love You run for another but still the same For the wind will blow my name across this land In the temple of love you hide together Believing pain and fear outside But someone near you rides the weather And the tears he cried will rain on Walls as wide as lovers' eyes In the temple of love - shine like thunder In the temple of love - cry like rain In the temple of love - hear my calling In the temple of love - hear my name And the devil in a black dress watches over My guardian angel walks away Life is short and love is always over in the morning Black wind come carry me far away With the sunlight died and night above me With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside You run for cover in the temple of love You run for another, it's all the same For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside With the fire from the fireworks up above With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain You run for cover in the temple of love I shine like thunder, cry like rain And the temple of love grows old and strong But the wind blows stronger, cold and long And the temple of love will fall before this Black wind calls my name to you no more In the black sky thunder sweeping under Ground and over water, sounds of Crying, weeping will not save your Faith for bricks and dreams for mortar All your prayers must seem as nothing Ninety-six below the wave when Stone is dust and only air remains In the temple of love - shine like thunder In the temple of love - cry like rain In the temple of love - hear the calling And the temple of love - is falling down In the temple of love - shine like thunder In the temple of love - cry like rain In the temple of love - hear my calling In the temple of love - hear my name In the black sky thunder sweeping under Ground and over water, sounds of Crying, weeping will not save your Faith for bricks and dreams for mortar All your prayers must seem as nothing Ninety-six below the wave when Stone is dust and air remains the Only haven you can trust And the devil in a black dress watches over My guardian angel walks away Life is short and love is always over in the morning Black wind come carry me far away With the fire from the fireworks up above With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain You run for cover in the temple of love I shine like thunder, cry like rain And the temple of love grows old and strong But the wind blows stronger, cold and long And the temple of love will fall before this Black wind calls my name to you no more In the temple of love you hide together Believing pain and fear outside But someone near you rides the weather And the tears he cried will rain on Walls as wide as lovers' eyes In the temple of love - shine like thunder In the temple of love - cry like rain In the temple of love - hear the calling And the temple of love - is falling down

Detonation Boulevard On Detonation Boulevard... Through the angel rain Through the dust and the gasolene Through the cruelty of strangers To the neon dream Long distance information Just tell me where the manholes steam A little girl waits on my station With a new machine On Detonation Boulevard... I got wrecked out here In a Eldorado I got wired, white-walled This hot-wired sedan I caught something weird in Encenada I've a brother of sorts in Torquemada Long distance information Disconnect me if you can On Detonation Boulevard... Pink noise, white noise, And a violet whining sound It burns inside this car No cops, no signs, no left, no right, No stops, no turning round Well you can run but you can't ride You won't get far On Detonation Boulevard... bang bang On Detonation Boulevard... Through the angel rain Through the rust and the gasolene Through the cruelty of strangers To the neon dream Long distance information I'll take the same I got the fuel for the transformation I'm a naked flame On Detonation Boulevard... bang bang

Lucretia My Reflection I hear the roar of a big machine Two worlds and in between Hot metal and methedrine I hear empire down I hear empire down I hear the roar of a big machine Two worlds and in between Love lost, fire at will Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear Dive, bombers, and Empire down Empire down I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed Get down, get undressed Get pretty but you and me, We got the kingdom, we got the key We got the empire, now as then, We don't doubt, we don't take direction Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me...

I hear the roar of a big machine Two worlds and in between Hot metal and methedrine I hear empire down... We got the empire, now as then We don't doubt, we don't take reflection Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me...

Walk Away And in the summer when the clouds show through I might go the same way too if You and I could talk together Well what am I supposed to do with You and I would walk together then With always close around and Now you gaze toward the doorway When the weather comes falling down And when the rain comes down Would you choose to walk or stay, would you Choose to walk, would you choose to stay, would you Walk... away? Away Away Away Would you choose to walk away? And when the rain comes down Would you choose to walk or stay, would you Choose to walk, would you choose to stay, would you Walk... away? Though when the day is nearly through I might see the same way too if You would name the things that bring you Down on me so I could say it's Not quite true if you don't really Know or understand the circumstance Behind then I might clear your Mind and you won't have to go, so So when the rain comes down Would you choose to walk or stay, would you Choose to walk, would you choose to stay, would you Walk... away? Away Away Away Would you choose to walk away? Away
