The Damned : Phantasmagoria
Lyrics
1. STREET OF DREAMS
If you can't sleep tonight
And if a fever grips you tight
There’s a place we must explore
Open wide the door...
We may be the haunted men
But we will hold our heads up high
When we're walking down the street of dreams
The dead beats and the dispossesed
The seekers of unlikeliness
The beauty walk on and on
With the beast tomight
Down the street of dreams
We walk down the street of dreams
A thousand doorways open there
A thousand voices sweet and clear
Emotions felt with a passion
Never felt before
When you walk down the street of dreams
You gotta hold your head up high
2. SHADOW OF LOVE
Don't be afraid to stand in the shadow of love
The hour is late and you know that time waits for no-one
See the glow of the soul in her face
Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love
A brief embrace and fear and restraint have all gone
Innocence burns, -yes a fire that burned all along
See the doors about to swing both ways
See the answer mirrored in her gaze
Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love
Every night, every day
I experience the most exquisite pain
A thousand whispers seem to say
I light a candle to you and i pray
I kneel to pray
Now don't be afraid to get caught in the shadow of love
Play the game take a chance or you haven't the power of love
See the glow of a soul in her face
See the glow of her saving veil of grace
Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love
You're caught in the shadow of love
3. THERE’LL COME A DAY
Fear grips your heart and you fight with all your might
Into the distant light you keep your vision bright
And the torch of love is a burning flame
It burns so bright it consumes all pain
And while your hand, your head to prey
Fate deals a hand that we all must play
And when the stars go out
The skies have turned to grey
I'm gonna walk on out
Into a brand new day
Schemes and dreams and just a little more
To keep the wolf howling outside your door
And every night, every day
I think i'll go go go and say
That i have to win, i have to try
I have to hold my head up high
4. SANCTUM SANCTORUM
I know its late and i should go
to bed
But i can't tear away from the night
It holds the seed of a memory
Its true of you
When i first saw you i realised
The fire burned deep inside your eyes
I knew a kiss would paralyse
Its true from you
Awake in the night to whisper your name
Only a silence replies its answer a sleeping refrain
The moment dies but memory stays
Love like a run our way by
We spin and we climb
To where once islands cried
And there sometimes angels can be devils too
Its true of you, its true of you
When shadows no longer fall
And footsteps can't be heard at all
I hear the ghost of a call
Its true from you
Awake in the night to whisper your name
Only silence replies its answer a sleeping refrain
The moments die but memory stays
Reaching for something thats just out of reach
Lost to your lips and drowned in your kiss
The tide of your passion is now but a dream
Its but a dream
5. IS IT A DREAM
Stand in a line like a parking meter
Am i all alone
A vision of mine is becoming clear
Its all so new it can't be true
Sometimes the words appear in my head
Sometimes i'm falling out of my bed
Oh, is it a dream , what does it mean ?
Oh is it a dream, what have i seen ?
I know a man, he's really awful nice
He isn't here
We whiled away an evening , maybe two
But what did that man really do
Sometimes i feel like walking away
Sometimes there's something i've got to say
Then suddenly
Like a fly in a cup of tea
I'm stirred and no longer free
To fly away
I think back to the other life
That was borrowed the other night
Could it be that it just might
Drive me wild
Oh is it a dream?
6. GRIMLY FIENDISH
Grimly fiendish plays the game that never plays
Sing out loud but never prayed
Grimly fiendish wears a coat thats black and long
He doesn't know that it's all wrong
Simply fiendish, a child caught in a grown up world
No lies convince the court
Once a week i could be found on the faces all the frowns
Hide and seek, tried so hard to find that crime could pay
Just for today
Bad bad bad boy
Let me get the story straight
You never gave me a break
It's a case of give and take
You didn't make me good you just painted me green
You made me part of your forgotten dream
Grimly fiendish, we'll send you just where you belong
Where the children can't be found
Hide and seek, tried so hard and just to find that crime could pay
Just for today
7. EDWARD THE BEAR
Shadows fall in the places we used to play
My toys have all been packed away
The rocking horse rocks in its box
A spinning top and corporal clott
Are a dusty lot
Many times i said i'd drop you a line
I guess i'm just a rotten swine
Who takes his time
And walks for fun when she should run
The damaged ones as you all chime
Who's the sucker now
Could someone shed some light on this love affair
Ans help to make me quite aware
Of what is meant by wicked thoughts
That have been sent
My memory is empty
Its too late now there's no time
And two things locked in my mind
To wonder and look in my eyes
8. THE EIGHTH DAY
Dead asleep the city dreams
Holding up its arms like limbs of steel
Mountains rise like mounds of sand
The boiling sea has swallowed up the land
On the eighth day, on the eighth day
Dancing devil knocking on my door
It has to grey that came to more
To raise the flag, to raise a tune
You know they'll be here soon
The eighth day, the eighth day
Hollow homes and gloomy streets
The people next door are looking for life's circus freaks
On the eighth day
Echoes of the midnight chime
The clock moves on but what a waste of time
The eighth day
Pure whie heat and blood of sands
Two clouds of crimson mists are swirling round and round
On the eighth day
Pools of fear and eyes that shine
The mirrors craked but i know they'll be mine oh mine
The eighth day

10. GRIMLY FIENDISH (THE BAD TRIP MIX)
Grimly fiendish plays the game that never plays
Sing out loud but never prayed
Grimly fiendish wears a coat thats black and long
He doesn't know that it's all wrong
Simply fiendish, a child caught in a grown up world
No lies convince the court
Once a week i could be found on the faces all the frowns
Hide and seek, tried so hard to find that crime could pay
Just for today
Bad bad bad boy
Let me get the story straight
You never gave me a break
It's a case of give and take
You didn't make me good you just painted me green
You made me part of your forgotten dream
Grimly fiendish, we'll send you just where you belong
Where the children can't be found
And just to find that crime could pay
Just for today
11. SHADOW OF LOVE (10” OF HELL MIX)
Don't be afraid to stand in the shadow of love
The hour is late and you know that time waits for no-one
caught in the shadow of love
A brief embrace and fear and restraint have all gone
Innocence burns, -yes a fire that burned all along
See the doors about to swing both ways
See the answer mirrored in her gaze
Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love
Every night, every day
I experience the most exquisite pain
A thousand whispers seem to say
I light a candle to you and i pray
I kneel to pray
Now don't be afraid to get caught in the shadow of love
Play the game take a chance or you haven't the power of love
See the glow of a soul in her face
See the glow of her saving veil of grace
Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love
You're caught in the shadow of love
