1. PASSING BY THE CHAPEL

Packing light and leaving this sad and lonely town
Wheels are spinning you'll be out of here by dawn
Passing by the chapel a couple ties the knot
Tears drain out of your eyes as you hear the marching band

Someday
Where this road is leading the skies are burning
Someday
We'll run away

It takes only one ride to know who you are
But a little more pride to walk down the aisle

Welcoming tomorrow, you wave at yesterday
A sign catches your eye 'This time is yours and mine'
Marilyn is singing along for the ride
'I know i'll be smiling with my baby bye and bye'

Someday
Where this road is leading the skies are burning
Someday
We'll run away

It takes only one ride to know who you are
But a little more pride to walk down the aisle

Mile after mile
Through the night
We're partners in crime

All my dreams are crashing down


2. DESIRE ME (LIKE YOU USED TO)

Don't give in to the 'why's?' when you reflect on our crimes
With a sense that our sins will last only for a while
Now it seems like our hearts may be hanging on the line
With a yearning to be done as truth's on the other side

Desire me like you used to
The northern lights are fading now

As they part from paradise, on the lace ends of her blouse
Doors are slammed, cast aside, hope it's only for a while
As her scent lingers on all the curtains of the house
He wonders if she might have gone for more than a ride

Desire me like you used to
The northern lights are fading now


3. STERLING KISS

My vision of paradise is distorted and led astray
How many chances do you get? I wasn't there, you cried in vain
All I've got is bitterness, why can't you stay another day?
Cause your love I can't deny, the heart you hide is dear to mine

When nobody's there for you now, I could stand the test of time

Never got a better hand than some jack of hearts but I've done my best
Cold and dressed up to the nines for your sterling kiss my queen of spades

When nobody's there for you now, I could stand the test of time


4. MERCURY

I've been calling out for another sky
Since all of the stars we used to share have come and gone
Oh can't you see the streets are empty?
In this seaside town where dust and pain litter the ground

I've been walking round keeping my head down
Remembering pictures of love
What seemed to be a promise baby
Is nothing but unclear words in the sand

All I want is you to comprehend
Just like a setting sun, we're going down in flames
All I want is you to comprehend
Just like a setting sun, I'm sinking down again

On wilder shores of love and disdain
You landed and you left me alone
In the name of foolishness, in the name of simply someone else
You sacrificed what was once your whole life

When your heart is feeling numb just write it down in sand
The sea will wash it away
If the waves could tell you about broken hearts and tears of mine
Would you even care?

All I want is you to comprehend
Just like a setting sun, we're going down in flames
All I want is you to comprehend
Just like a setting sun, I'm sinking down again


5. LIES TO BELIEVE IN

You won't have to see me crying
I hope you don't mind, I hope you will find
You don't have to fear me trying
It won't change your mind, it's a matter of time
And you'll be kissing someone new

Don't get me wrong, it won't drag me down
I'll make up lies that I can believe in
So let me burn, under the sun
And tell me how to forget about you

I'd walk by your side and stop wasting time
If only we could begin again

You won't have to see me crying
I hope to confine my unstable mind
You don't have to fear me trying
I hope you don't mind, I know you don't mind
But how the fuck can you not mind?

Where is your face? Don't you miss mine?
I made up lies that I won't believe in
Just let us try for one last time
Or tell me how to forget about you

I can't live without your love
(You'll have to wipe your tears my love)
I just can't live without you love
(You'll have to face your fears my love)

Somebody who'll cry no more
Somebody worth dying for

All your lies will cross your eyes


6. BEAUTIFUL REGRETS

Used to walk hand in hand so it's insane
How this walk takes us down memory lane
Every song reminds you of better times
In the grand scheme of things you don't get why

So shall I go and leave with you or shall I stay and bleed for you?

What's the plan, baby what can I do?
What with the remains of life with you?
What's the plan, baby what can I do?
Cause to me there's only you

Yet again drawing eyes your looks and sighs
Make no sense in front of the looking glass
Why they say that your life's a piece of cake?
For it's a nightmare from which you can't awake

So shall I go and leave with you or shall I stay and bleed for you?

What's the plan, baby what can I do?
What with the remains of life with you?
What's the plan, baby what can I do?
Cause to me there's only you


7. THE WAY TO HURT YOU

I'd wrap my arms around and find a way to hurt you
And now you'll die alone, devil's son, I'll make you sway

A thousand times or more you'd shed your skin
Playing your games on your friends
Pouring pain like it's rain with no shame
Everyday

Sorrow
Tell me what is the point of your ways?
I just won't let you go alone

Either way I'm tired of you
And it's the way to hurt you


8. SPECIFIC PEOPLE

I've said no one can lead us on
We swore each other we'd see it through and through
I took a drag on one last cigarette and called a cab in the hope to find
The likes of you, what they wanted too
The helpless arms without a dream to cling to
You were the one baby the sight I wished
Would make me swear that I'd love you through and through

Tied and tangled
The crowd's upon us
As death's for hire
Sigh no more

Lift the veil that blackens your heart
Let it all come back to you

Close your eyes till they run dry

The tide has gone out, see the light
A new beginning
You sink into the light and break down
On the other side, don't believe anyone

(Instrumental)


10. SPARKLE

Once upon a time when strings would chime
Our love used to sparkle and shine
Now we dance upon its skeleton
Draped in silk we no longer lie on
We find ourselves to writhe beyond
Any hope of a last redemption
Now I'm left to try and transcend time
And escape the anguish paradigm

I might cry a trail of tears tonight
Call my name, shed the frame, seal the crate

Never did I wish until now for someone to save me
And sacrifice all the beliefs that
I have and the feelings that I lack
And all the trust in you now

For all the fires and lies that consume brides
So divine and soul-stirring was mine
Now I'm left to cry and unbind your eyes
Shift paradigms

I might cry a trail of tears tonight
Call my name, shed the frame, seal the crate

Never did I wish until now for someone to save me
And sacrifice all the beliefs that
I have and the feelings that I lack
And all the trust in you now
Would you sacrifice?

I might cry a trail of tears tonight
Call my name, shed the frame, seal the crate


11. SPARKLE (ENDING)

(Instrumental)


12. NEKHA LIGHTS

Here we are in a London park
And I realize that I don't miss you anymore
Fireflies in the cold sunrise rarefy
You seemed the picture of delight

Under the Nekha lights
You are forever mine

Here we are in a state of war
That justifies that I don't miss you anymore
I walk at night even when the stars realign
You have me longing for the light
And the fireflies in the cold sunrise rarefy
You seem the picture of delight

It's a shame that I never changed my mind
And realized I couldn't miss you any more

You are forever mine
Under the Nekha Lights
But the fortune teller lied


13. SONS OF THE DRAGON

Cigarettes, no regrets
Would you try a little harder tonight?
Hearts of stone are the hardest to tame
These young guns are gonna run all the lights

Sons of the dragon

Anytime, anywhere
Seeking hope they only find despair
They find it best to hide from the sun
But all they're asking for is their salvation

Sons of the dragon

Forever and ever
Everywhere you look it's turning darker
The cost of life is so much higher
When you left the living to be a vampire

You can't stop breaking down all the time but you should win
You can't stop breaking down all the time but you can't cry
