1. I'VE JUST LOST SOMEBODY

She came down from far away and smiled at me
In one moment I found out how love can be
Then I realized that she had gone again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream

Though I know that love ever happened this way
I'll be here untill she will return one day
Here low, I am dreaming, she must appear again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream

She came down from far away and smiled at me
In one moment I found out how love can be
Then I realized that she had gone again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream


2. SAVE YOUR SKIN

The pity and the pleasure and the guilt and the pain
The sun and the moon and the stars in the rain
It's all the same
Goin' back to zero, the other side of life
With gasoline and neon lights, seeping through the night
On a color-slide
Hand that's holdin' a gun
It's the trigger-happy son
Another abnormality
A wolf among the sheep
It's the good time boy, girls toy
Takin' another chance
And there he goes
Do you think he knows
On and on he goes
Do you think it shows

Hold on he's coming back
Like a joker jumpin' out a the deck
Hit a lotta dust, hit it hard
Just to prove my lord he can take a lot
Dig it now you still can
Get a smoke-screen and a rifle-man
Holy Christ look at the state he's in
Save your skin, take my advice, and keep the kids inside
Save your skin, now you can, without an alibi
Save your skin, take my advice, and leave the dogs outside
'Cause here he comes
It's the demon man with the fire in his eyes
Checking out your lies one by one.

Soul kitchen's empty
Lotta contrast with last night
There's broken chairs and broken glasses
Everywhere in sight
Sunlight is blindin' my eyes, minute he walks in
How ya been?

Hold on, I'm coming back
Like a joker jumpin' out a the deck
Hit a lotta dust, hit it hard
Just to prove my lord I can take a lot
Dig it now you still can
Get a smoke-screen and a rifle-man
Holy Christ look at the state I'm in
Save your skin, take my advice, and keep the kids inside
Save your skin, now you can, without an alibi
Save your skin, take my advice, and leave the dogs outside
'Cause here he comes
It's the demon man with the fire in his eyes
With the fire in his eyes

Save your skin, save your skin.....


3. PARADISE IN DISTRESS

Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the good old neighbourhood on a one way trip to hell
(Shake you sinner)

Jesus won't drive nothin' but a shiny white Mercedes
And all the angels gotta settle for second hand Oldsmobile's
The virgin Mary loses faith and starts a chain-reaction
The Lord just stands there weepin' bitter tears in the rain
Ain't that a shame...
(Shake you sinner!)

Almost as if the bad guys, got the good guys on the run
All in the line of expectation, in the eyes of the evil one
Like a mad bull chargin' through a closet of porcelain 'Made in China'
Saddlin' up the righteous, with nightmares full of trauma

Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the good old neighbourhood movin' on down to hell

There's no one here, there's nothin' left
No one here to kiss or bless
This damp and dark unholy mess
You could say: Paradise in distress
(Shake you sinner)

Behind the clouds there's a silver line
The sun just can't stop waitin'
To put a shine on a clear blue sky
And kill the pessimist in me
Meanwhile, there's no one here, there's nothin' left
No one here to kiss or bless
This damp and dark unholy mess
You could say: Paradise in distress
(Shake you sinner)

4. I'VE JUST LOST SOMEBODY

She came down from far away and smiled at me
In one moment I found out how love can be
Then I realized that she had gone again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream

Though I know that love ever happened this way
I'll be here untill she will return one day
Here low, I am dreaming, she must appear again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream

She came down from far away and smiled at me
In one moment I found out how love can be
Then I realized that she had gone again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream
