I could be in love if you wore that dress every day
With your hair just so and your eyes of grey
You'd make a beautiful bird on a line
A beautiful bride of Frankenstein
A beautiful drop of iodine
If you were mine, if you were mine, if you were mine

I could be in love if the sun came out every day
Set the sky on fire and the city grey
I'd be there at the drop of a dime
If you were mine, if you were mine, if you were mine

If you were mine I'd tear the altar down of all that I'd lost to romance
If you were mine I'd risk my dignity if only to give love a chance
If you were mine, I'd have the world
I'd have the world if you were mine

And I could be in love if the sirens sang every day
You draw me closer to destiny
Give us this moment to shine
Me and my bride of Frankenstein
A beautiful bird on a line
If you were mine, if you were mine, if you were mine
Would you be mine? Would you be mine?

If you were mine I'd tear the altar down of all that I'd lost to romance
If you were mine I'd risk my dignity if only to give love a chance
If you were mine, I'd have the world
I'd have the world if you were mine
If you were mine, I'd have the world
I'd have the world if you were mine

Ohh, if you were mine.

If you were mine, I'd have the world
I'd have the world if you were mine
If you were mine, I'd have the world
I'd have the world if you were mine
If you were mine

If you were mine I'd tear the altar down of all that I'd lost to romance
If you were mine I'd risk my dignity if only to give love a chance
If you were mine, I'd have the world
I'd have the world if you were mine
If you were mine, I'd have the world
I'd have the world if you were mine

If you were mine, I'd have the world
I'd have the world if you were mine
If you were mine, I'd have the world
I'd have the world if you were mine
If you were mine, I'd have the world
I'd have the world if you were mine.

I cast no shadow on the grave
No one knows my name
I ride the wind of seven seas
Gone before the rain
I am both friend and enemy
An object of disdain
Living it up in the down and out
I run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds

Yeah, I feel it in my bones
Like a rolling stone
An enemy unknown
I lose control
I feel it in my bones
Like a rolling stone
You'll never find me on the high ground
I lose control

I draw disaster from the fane
Like fire in the sky
I am the bandage and the bane
The furor of the fires
I stand alone when none remain
A creature of the night
I'll cut you in, but there's no way out
I run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds

Yeah, I feel it in my bones
Like a rolling stone
An enemy unknown
I lose control
I feel it in my bones
Like a rolling stone
You'll never find me on the high ground
I lose control

I am the death that makes your life seem good
I am the pain that brings you close to God
I am the prophet warning of the flood
I am the answer you misunderstood

I am the answer that you misunderstand
I do the evil that an honest man can't
I live in shadows that the enemy casts
I have no future and I have no past

Living in the down and out

I'm living it up in the down and out
I roll with the foxes and hunt with the hounds
I'll cut you in, but there's no way out
But get on your feet when you hear that sound

Yeah, I feel it in my bones
Like a rolling stone
An enemy unknown
I lose control
I feel it in my bones
Like a rolling stone
You'll never find me on the high ground
I lose control

Ten long years I've spent in the sun where I
Broke my back to avoid the gun, but I
Never cracked and never gave you up
I just did my time for you

Yeah, I can't leave you now
Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow

When you sleep, don't dream of me
I don't wanna break your heart 'til I'm breaking free
When I get out out I'm gonna run with you
We're gonna make our way to America

Yeah, I can't leave you now
Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow

Ten long years I've spent in the sun where I
Broke my back to avoid the gun, but I
Never cracked and never gave you up
I just did my time for you

And they can call me public enemy
Brand my skin for treachery
What they long to have, they can't take away
From me

My hope is growing by the power of love
The highest wall that they erect is not a prison enough
And like the river that is winding takes its water to sea
The only ending that is fitting is you with me, baby

Yeah, I can't leave you now
Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow

When you sleep, don't dream of me
I don't wanna break your heart 'til I'm breaking free
When I get out out I'm gonna run with you
We're gonna make our way to America

I think I like where I'm standing
I think I hate it too
'Cause it's safe on the side of caution
But baby, it's so far away from you

And if I try my best, I still can't find a way to let it go
And it's so much work pretending to move on
I can't if I'll never know (Walk in the rain)
In love and pain (On and on)
'Til we find a new beginning

Hey, hey, this is dangerous
I've buried all my dreams but the ones of us
I think I never knew you when I knew you before
And every time we meet
It's like you're breaking my heart all over

Give me peace, give me trust, give me something real
Let me know when it's safe to begin to feel
All the things I knew before, I need something to fight for
Talk it out, all these hours, almost every day

Still you fill my lungs (Still I walk in grace)
Until I've unlearned everything, except to trust
I can't if I'm too afraid of love and pain (Is that so wrong?)
Tell me that I'm gaining something

Hey, hey, this is dangerous
I've buried all my dreams but the ones of us
I think I never knew you when I knew you before
And every time we meet
It's like you're breaking my heart all over

Hey, hey, this is dangerous
I'm writing all the songs that I'll play for us
I'm crossing off the reasons why I couldn't believe
That peace of mind was something that I'd ever achieve

Come on, come on
Nothing to be lost or won
Come on, come on
I feel as if we've just begun
I'm standing here alone

Come on, come on
Nothing ever seemed so clear
Come on, come on
And still I don't know how to feel
I walk this road alone

Come on, come on
Listen to the sound of the rain
Come on, come on
Can it take me home again?
Take me home again to your arms

Hey, hey, this is dangerous
Waste the night away with us
Even if we never find a way back to love
The desperate and the faithful are the ones we can trust

Hey, hey, this is dangerous
I've buried all my dreams but the ones of us
I think I never knew you when I knew you before
And every time we meet
It's like you're breaking my heart all over

Come on, come on
Nothing to be lost or won
Even if we never find our way back to love
Take me home again

In the valley of the dying sun
I walk a crooked path alone
I came across the shadow of a man
With an angel's breath

"Oh, boy," he said to me
"I see your future
Though you long for peace
The sword is your father"

I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when I kill a good man
To keep myself from being killed by him
I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when I hold my girl
And wonder if she'll ever love again
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you
Wash the blood off my hands
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you

Bathed in the powder of a thousand guns
I am the king of sorrows
Watered by the tears of the innocent ones
The river grows
It moves
It swells

"Son," it calls to me
"Your days are numbered
Sow the seeds you will
But I am the reaper"

"I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when you kill a good man
To keep yourself from being killed by him
I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when you hold your girl
And wonder if she'll ever love again
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you
Wash the blood off your hands
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you"

I howled at the moon like a wolf in the night
You want to finish it
We're gonna finish it right

And then I felt it with a chill up my spine
There are no words to use that truly describe
The glory of the angel or the terror in me
Tonight will be my ending or tonight my new beginning

All through the night
I wrestled the angel
To undo the curse
That's burdened me all of my life

And for the first time I could see
That God was not my enemy

"I'm thinking of you" (for the first time I can see)
"I'm thinking of you"
"I'm thinking of you" (That God was not my enemy)
"I'm thinking of you"

Like pieces of the sun
Our light burns on and on and on
Like stars in the night sky we shine
I'm living to shine on
I'm living to shine on
I'm living to shine on
I'm living to shine on
I'm living to shine on
I'm living to shine on

Maybe you'll see me on the evening news
Maybe you'll see me with a bag over my head
If that's the case, then I've met my doom
If that's the case, then my comrades are dead
And I don't hate my enemy
I hate the cloud he's brought over my land
There's no virtue in killing a man
Neither is there virtue in being afraid to stand

But I saw the black coats forming lines
They hit our beaches running
We're on our knees but not to pray

You're the only reason I stayed
In this coward's melee
I'd rather die than live without mercy and love
Sing while the city decays
We'd rather go up in flames
Lest we betray thy names of dignity and love

You can't change the course, our fate's sealed long ago
But hope is not lost
Code name Corbeau
We trade their secrets at cost for our lives
The panzer is strong, the raven is wise
I tune my ears to the BBC
I can hear them, they can't hear me
I long to forget all the horrors I've seen
I live like a ghost
I'll die with the free

Traitors and turncoats turned aside
Traitors who slip, sink
They're on their knees but just to beg

You're the only reason I stayed
In this coward's melee
I'd rather die than live without mercy and love
Sing while the city decays
We'd rather go up in flames
Lest we betray thy names of dignity and love

Inside the fuselage
Valiant young soldiers singing songs
"Fear not my downcast brothers
We are the strong arm of the law
By land and air and sea
On wings of destiny we ride"

Sing while the city decays
Sing while we go up in flames

You're the only reason I stayed
In this coward's melee
I'd rather die than live without mercy and love
Sing while the city decays
We'd rather go up in flames
Lest we betray thy names of dignity and love
I'm on your side until my body drains of blood
Lest we betray thy names of dignity and love
I'm on your side until my body drains of blood

Born on the plains, a farmer's sons
and brothers the same,raised on promises...
we'd stay that way.
As boys we believed, summers at the sea
we were free to become men of good will...
side by side.

And we were children then,foot prints in the sand
And where the ocean bends, we made our promises...
He knows.

Duty soon called, 1943 we enrolled,
together we would be our family's pride...

And we were soldiers then,our bodies in the sand
And like that sand through our hands,
go our grandest plans.
And just to see your face for one moment,
I'd cross the ocean again, the end... is not the end.

And I'll be by your side, on the other side(x2)

And through the cloud of death,
we find our way back home.
And though I hold your hand,
all must go alone.
And when you see the face of our Maker,
you don't have to be ashamed,
He knows the promises we made.

And I'll be by your side, on the other side.

Baby, Baby, You cannot protect me,
but I've heard of one who can.
And he does not take sides tonight and...
Baby, Baby, if this is the ending,
Then we'll find out how it ends...
We'll find where we begin again.

I can't tell you it will be alright.
Hold me through the shelling of the night.

Let them come for us.
Let them have their way with our names they drag through the mud.
Should they murder us,
we will live again in the clouds that cover the sun.

Baby, baby,if there is eternity,
then it must be made of love.
How else could I hope in all this death?
And baby, baby, tonight I have no enemy,
I have held my fellow man,
looked into his dying eyes.

And I just want to look into the light.
Hold me through the shelling of the night.

Whoa,I'm on your side.
Whoa,I'm on your side.

I'm not your enemy, baby
I'll be the one who takes you home
When the lights go out on this ghost town
And you don't owe me anything
We just can't face our fears alone
Live tonight, tomorrow never knows where we'll be

Baby's on fire like the colors of fall
The radio's up, we're under control
And sooner or later
Sooner or later
You'll want it all
Baby's on fire like the colors of fall
We placed our bets on broken hearts
But sooner or later
Summer was over
And we lost it all

I feel it pulling me lately
Like I want more than all I've known
Like graceful winds have blown my heart up here
And with this untapped energy
We'll carve our names in the unknown
With goodness always nipping at our heels
Where we'll be

Baby's on fire like the colors of fall
The radio's up, we're under control
And sooner or later
Sooner or later
You'll want it all
Baby's on fire like the colors of fall
We placed our bets on broken hearts
But sooner or later
The summer was over
And we lost it all

It always seemed like we had no time
Like the world would end if we closed our eyes
So we hold our breath, and we took the dive
We never had a chance, but I'm happy we tried

It always seemed like we had no chance
Like we had no time at all
Like we had no chance
No time, no time again

Baby's on fire like the colors of fall
The radio's up, we're under control
And sooner or later
Sooner or later
You'll want it all
Baby's on fire like the colors of fall
We placed our bets on broken hearts
And sooner or later
Summer was over
And we lost it all

Baby's on fire like the colors of fall
The radio's up, the windows down
And sooner or later
Sooner or later
You'll want it all
Baby's on fire like the colors of fall
We cut our teeth with careless hearts
And sooner or later
The summer was over
And we lost it all

Oo oo little red.
With your heart in Stalingrad.
Oh, it kills me how they hate you.
But they just don't understand.

Oh oh oh red.
When they put me on the stand.
I will testify I loved you.
And i'm not ashamed to be your comrade.

Red. red. baby's a red.
She's blood, red. baby's a red.
The feds said lock her in lead.
She's red, but I love her.

(Hammer and sickle on my mind).

Oo oo little red.
It's not like McCarthy said.
Though we differ on religion.
We both support the working man.

Oh oh oh red.
If the bombs fall on our lands.
Then our politics won't matter.
Only that i loved you until death.

Red. red. baby's a red.
She's blood, red. baby's a red.
The feds said lock her in lead.
She's red, but I love her.

Oh Yeah!

Red. red. baby's a red.
She's blood, red. baby's a red.
The feds said lock her in lead.
She's red, but I love her.

I want to touch you, and I'm not afraid.
I want to touch you, and I'm not ashamed.
I want to tell you, that I'm not afraid.

They'll burn us at the stake!!

I want to love you, and I'm not afraid.
I want to love you, and I'm not ashamed.
I want to love you, and I'm not afraid.

Oh Baby!!

Hammer and sickle on my mind.(Saint Petersburg in summer time).
Hammer and sickle on my mind. (Stars over moscow shining bright).
Hammer and sickle on my mind. (The shores of Astrakhan are fine).
Hammer and sickle on my mind.

Red. red. baby's a red.
She's blood, red. baby's a red.
The feds said lock her in lead.
She's red, but I love her.

The water's at our knees
It's rising while we speculate to its existing
Sinking merrily
Invincible, convinced no warning is worth heeding

The ocean deep and black
That seemed so shallow
Pulls me under

I'm not giving up that easy
I'm not giving up on anything
Long as I have lungs still breathing
Learn to swim
Before we drown

Come, come one and all
And sacrifice your pride to find a new beginning
Open up your ears
And eyes to see our minds are still in need of changing

If we knew the truth
Would we even care at all
Or be pulled under

I'm not giving up that easy
I'm not giving up on anything
Long as I have lungs still breathing
Learn to swim
Before we drown

Grant us grace to change our minds

I'm in love with the faces.
Of a thousand nameless girls.
I'm in love with the chases.
For the unattainable.

I'm in love but I'm tasteless.
I only want what's bad for me.
I'm in love with a waitress.
If only I could drink for free.

Shot down, shot down. I'm blacking out. shot down, shot down.
Shot down, shot down. I can't get out. shot down, shot down.
A death wish come true.

I'm in love but I'm tasteless.
I only want what's bad for me.
I'm in love with the spaces.
With the spaces in between.

So I'll dream oh what a dream can do is true!

Shot down, shot down. I'm blacking out. shot down, shot down.
Shot down, shot down. I can't get out. shot down, shot down.
A death wish come true.

I'll dream until my dream comes true.
I'll dream until my dream comes true.
I'll dream until my dream comes true.
I'll dream until my dream comes true.

Then I'll be blue, again.
Then I'll be blue.
Then I'll be blue.
Then I'll be blue.

Shot down, shot down. I'm blacking out. shot down, shot down.
Shot down, shot down. I can't get out. shot down, shot down.

Shot down, shot down. I'm blacking out. shot down, shot down.
Shot down, shot down. I can't get out. shot down, shot down.

A death wish come true.
A death wish come true.

In the silent hour I can hear them.
I pray to the mother. but the mother doesn't love my soul.
In the blackened earth lay my secrets.
The hounds of hell know everything.

At the moon they howl.
I cut away, i get away, I hide away from the light.
Still they smell my fear,
And they will hunt me like the animal I've been.

Cut cut cut cut a hole in the night.
The voices of the innocent are coming to life.

Cut cut cut cut a hole in the night.
The voices of the innocent are coming to life.

In a graceless world, I was graceless.
I'm just a murderer cause murder was my only chance.
Though i'm wretched, I am not faithless.
The ears of God hear everything.

And he hears them still.
Every cry, every breath. in every land that i have slain, cause.
Just to save myself.
How can God show mercy? I was merciless to them

Cut cut cut cut a hole in the night.
The voices of the innocent are coming to life.

Cut cut cut cut a hole in the night.
The voices of the innocent are coming to life.

(
Your greatest sin is not the abortion that you've asked forgiveness for, or the adultery or whatever is that you did in your life in a past that you're ashamed of that keeps hounding you.

Your greatest sin is not that. Your greatest sin is not believing God's word when God says you're forgiven.
Your greatest sin is unbelief. You wanna repent of something, friend? Stop repenting of sins that you've already repented of, and repent of your unbelief!
)

(The voices of the innocent are coming to life)

In this unending war.
I've lost so many brothers.
The coldest hours come before morning.

With every drop of blood.
Spilled in this field of daggers.
Bring many sons of heaven to glory.

Until your rains, oh God.
Bring forth your colored beauty.
Confirm the hopes of nations in longing.

I see a new day coming,
Maybe tomorrow.
Woe to the king of nothing.

I see a new day coming,
Maybe tomorrow.
Woe to the king of nothing.
I see a clean blood running.
Brothers of sorrow,
Here is your kingdom coming.
Here is your kingdom coming.

Spread wide your wings, oh God.
Relieve this scarlet fever.
Catch every tear of mothers in morning.

Bring life to tired hopes.
Buried in fields of flowers.
Bring many sons of battle to glory.

With every drop of blood.
Caged in this tired body.
I long to bring my father to glory.

I see a new day coming,
Maybe tomorrow.
Woe to the king of nothing.
I see a clean blood running.
Brothers of sorrow,
Here is your kingdom coming.
Here is your kingdom coming.

He was and is,
He is and is to come.
He was and is,
He is and is to come.
He holds the key.

No one ever told me there'd be days like these
The water's running out but the grass is green, (sinking in the sea of our apathy).
Stuck in the burbs with the xanax teens and me, where do I belong?

I don't know what it is right now
I've got less faith than I've have doubt. (But I want to believe!)
God give grace to the young and brutal
We're uninspired, not unuseful (And I want to believe!)
There is a way

God shed your grace on the brutal, the faithful, the desperate, the wasteful
Where's the hope for the teenage loner?
We all dance til the music's over, but who do we believe? save the bees!
Is it world war 3? I'll afford my car, but not gasoline, so who do we believe?
God give us grace to be brutally faithful, and make up for wasted time.
I'm right where I belong.
