Judgement Day
03:41
|
|||
|
A cold wind is coming
Blowing in for you
The sky won’t be sunny
When it hits you
You thought you were clever
Playing out your part
But I have developed
A way to be more smart
What you gonna do when they come for you
At the crack of dawn with their lights on you?
Where you gonna hide when your lies shine bright
And they find out that I told the truth?
You tried to destroy me
Your motives unclear
You tried to annoy me
By bending my ear
Your friends were all laughing
At your silly game
But soon they’ll be sorry
They met you that day
What you gonna do
When I drop the truth
Like an atom bomb on your site of doom?
Are you going to pray
When you wake up to
Debts you’ve got to pay
For your evil moves?
Your evil moves
Judgement Day
It's Judgement Day
It’s Judgement Day
And now you’re gonna pay my friend
It's Judgement Day
'Cos I'm not going to wait again
It's Judgement Day
And now you’re gonna pay my friend
It's Judgement Day
This silly little game will end

The Zagreb Sky
04:32
|
|||
|
Some search hard for karma
Some take hearts for fun
Some move deep in waters
From which they won’t emerge
Underneath the Zagreb sky
Some dissolve in drama
Some succumb to pride
Others pull the curtains
Over lovers’ eyes
Underneath the Zagreb sky
We disappear like thieves at night
When the mountain mist arrives
Your lady was a countess
Of discipline and ice
You waited as her servant
‘Til love would not suffice
Underneath the Zagreb sky
Fury was her language
A patriotic cry
She spoke it without mercy
Within the midst of lies
Underneath the Zagreb sky
Now terror lurks inside your eyes
The mob await with knives outside
Ten-fold was the tempest
On the mountainside
Tears were shed in anger
For your many crimes
Underneath the Zagreb sky
Her sentence is unfolding
Dramatic and severe
For the heart you’ve broken
You’ll pay for many years
Underneath the Zagreb sky
Where tyrants weep and heroes die
Your name will be cursed and sighed
Comrade, don’t you close your eyes
As daggers on parade fly by
Some search hard for karma
Some take hearts for fun
Some move deep in waters
From which they won’t emerge
Underneath the Zagreb sky
Some dissolve in drama
Some succumb to pride
Others pull the curtains
Over lovers’ eyes
Underneath the Zagreb sky
Underneath the Zagreb sky
Underneath the Zagreb sky

Like An Angel
02:48
|

|
Like an an angel you fly down to me
Like an an angel you cry out to me:
“Have peace. Be free”
Like an angel you make my eyes see
Like an angel you make my mind heal
From these memories
And I’ve seen things no man should see
I’ve been to places beyond dreams
Can we rise from our defeat
And share what we concealed?
Like an angel, you came down to me
Like an angel, you helped to relieve
This fear and misery
Like an angel from heaven appeared
Like an angel you made my life clear
And offered sanctuary
It’s deep, this love you cannot feel
It’s real, hold on and believe
You need more than you can see
You’ve been my visionary
Like an angel
Like an angel
Like an angel
Like an angel
Like an angel
Like an angel
Like an angel
You fly down to me

The Girl Can't Help It
02:51
|
|||
|
She’s as pretty as a doll in pink
But not as cutesy as you think
You don’t know how low she’ll sink
‘Cos the girl can’t help it
She’ll look you in the eye and say
Things you want to her all day
But there’s such a big field to play
That the girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
It’s no good for your health
When the girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
You’ll end up by yourself
When the girl can’t help it
She’s got a mouth that you wanna kiss
And a smile that you can’t resist
But she’ll leave your heart in a twist
‘Cos the girl can’t help it
She’s got all manner of funny ways
That make you laugh until the day
You discover the joke she’s played
‘Cos the girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
It’s no good for your health
When the girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
You’ll end up by yourself
When the girl can’t help it
She’s got a first degree in psychology
But her heart’s as cold as the North Sea
How could you think you were meant to be
More than a distant memory?
You were just a drop in a pool of men
You won’t be back ‘round her’s again
Do you feel sad that it’s the end
Or have you learned my friend…?
She’s as pretty as a doll in pink
Not as cutesy as you think
You don’t know how low she’ll sink
‘Cos the girl can’t help it
She’ll look you in the eye and say
Things you want to her all day
But there’s such a big bill to pay
When the girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
It’s no good for your health
When the girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
You’ll end up by yourself
When the girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
She’ll leave you on the shelf
Man, the girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
The girl can’t help it
You’ll end up by yourself

Swinging through the sky
Ozone getting high
The whole world down below
And an infinite blue vision in my soul
I keep a hold
Drifting on a plane
Deep in outer space
I’ve got a puncture in my brain
And I’m slipping in and out of sunny states
My fate awaits
I’m going home
I’m running low
I’m going home
This bird has flown
You can hear the roar
Of the engine through the floor
Where my memories are stored
In a package that I’m sending her back home
Instead of hope
And you can taste the void
Of the future as it’s poised
As my empty fingers toy
With the in-flight entertainment on my phone
My life’s on hold
I’m going home
I’m running low
I’m going home
This bird has flown
