i've been away awhile
it was no place like home
not the kind of place
i would ever pay to go
i spent my time
all alone with myself
everything i loved
was out there
in somewhere else
now i'm headed for the door
i ain't stayin' here no more
i got the feelin'
and home is on my mind
hey, i got the feelin'
i'm gonna get back to mine
i paid my living dues
you can read it in the news
i got the feelin'
and it's mighty fine
i did you wrong back then
it was my fault all along
i wasn't thinkin' clearly then
it was like my mind was gone
i'm hoping you
have forgiveness in your heart
please tell me baby
that you want a brand new start
i was out there all alone
now i wanna get back home
i got the feelin'
and home is on my mind
hey, i got the feelin'
i'm gonna get back to mine
i paid my living dues
you can read it in the news
i got the feelin'
and it's mighty fine

When The Bite Follows Kiss
the outsider
waiting like a snake
to take over
and change your world
the outsider
overrules the hearts
of the steadfast
and tears them apart
who do you love?
who do you trust
who really matters?
when the outsider changes the game
voices changing
from afar
comes to make
their own way with others
comes to take
what they had before
and make it like
their own parlour
sweetness and smiles
soft tender light
hard to see
when the bark turns to bite
i just leave
when the bark turns to bite
sweetness and smiles
soft tenderness
hard to feel
when the bite follows kiss
i just leave
when the bite follows kiss

I Won't Say A Thing At All
i think about you sometimes
in the middle of the day
and wonder where the time has gone
i dream about the moments
we never thought to take
there's nothin' there to leave
so why move on?
i could have said so many things
you could have said so many things
the time has passed to my regret
what we had back then is all we'll get
i see your face in random dreams
i'll pretend it don't mean anything
the time has passed for me to call
so i won't say a thing at all
i wonder 'bout the life we missed
while i'm sitting home alone
and think about the tragedies of life
i hold on to the moments
i looked into your eyes
but the past can't be revived
'cause it's all gone
i could have said so many things
you could have said so many things
the time has passed to my regret
what we had back then is all we'll get
i see your face in random dreams
i'll pretend it don't mean anything

Friends
how did we find each other?
what made us such good friends?
why did we learn to lean on each other?
shoulder to shoulder...again and again
those precious days behind us
time passes and we've grown apart
still i know i would have been much less
without your friendship in my heart
when i think about you these days
i think about a time so sweet
when the only thing we had to know
we were friends because we needed to be

Together
break these chains of pain
keep the faith and pray
we will make it through
together
believe there is a way
to take the love we save
give it to the world
together
and i know now
at this moment we are hurtin'
we'll shine like diamonds in the end
i know now
that even though we're hurtin'
we're strong together
'cause we're friends
let the cynics cry
say we're all gonna die
we will prove them wrong
together
we know better now
we can show them how
we can learn to fly
together
and i know now
at this moment we are hurtin'
we'll shine like diamonds in the end
i know now
that even though we're hurtin'
we're strong together

You're The One
i sometimes think about you
and pretend that you are here
i feel so lost and lonely
as the good times disappear
i have no consolation
all i know is you are gone
and it's left me to forget you
something i have never done
when the wind blows
when the night calls
when my heart comes all undone
i go back into my memory
you're the one
yes, you're the one
there is no resolution
for the love i lost back then
the days keep moving on now
and i can't go back again
i have no bitter feelings
just an empty bitter ache
i guess that's all that you left with
when your heart's too broke to break
when the wind blows
when the night calls
when my heart comes all undone
i go back into my memory
you're the one
yes, you're the one

Not What I'm Here For
all this fussin' and fightin'
pointin' to the video
he said...she said
what damage did they do?
the people have spoken
they've spoken loud and clear
predictions are given
it's the future we should fear
all of this drivel
runnin' down the wire
not what i'm here for
all these fugitive governors
runnin' to the talk show
she said he said
what bad thing did i do?
the losers are angry
they want to turn around
their vision of the future
we're headed straight for down
all of this drivel
runnin' through the ether
not what i'm here for
someone sing me out of here
i don't know what to do
the rush is on to hate
things we never knew
all this pushin' and shovin'
jockey for position
he said...she said
the next time will we do
other things other ways
the people just don't see
we're comin' to save them
with our own reality
all of this drivel
shinin' on my TeeVee
not what i'm here for

Only Alone
do i look like a victim
so easily led
was it my hermit ways
that made you forget
i'm not really desperate
i just don't like the phone
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone
i try to remember
what made me move on
the things i've forgotten
are already gone
i don't need a memory
to tempt me from home
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone
i'd live in the past
but there's only regret
i'd rather stumble along
it's as good as i get
i'm not looking for pity
in this world that i own
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone

Old Masters
it's comin' again
just like it did
you hear it again
ringin' in your ears
the summit awaits
that's what you wanted
and the spirit won't break
because it carries you
on the back
of the old masters
turning you on
faster and faster
the limit exceeded
no turning back
you remember the song
of the old masters
you turn on the light
and it's shinin' on
the spirit at night
it's what you're living on
the tower is there
where you remember it
the wind in your hair
is meant to cover you
on the back
of the old masters
turning you on
faster and faster
the limit exceeded
no turning back
you remember the song
of the old masters
you can't break the chain
because it's in your blood
it's burned in your soul
it's there to carry you
on the back
of the old masters
turning you on
faster and faster
the limit exceeded
no turning back
you remember the song
of the old masters

You Don't Know My World
i'm still the one you see here
after all this time
you think you know me better
like i'm a simple line
in between the spaces
you never thought to look
therein lie your answers
that's where i write the book
you may know something of me
but you don't know my world
and you never did
you may think it's easy
to understand my dream
but you don't know my world
and if you don't know my world
you don't know me
i'm just another dreamer
swim against the tide
you think you know the story
hiding in my pride
you hang onto the bitter
it's easy to explain
you'll never understand
why i'm smiling in the rain
you may know something of me
but you don't know my world
and you never did
you may think it's easy
to understand my dream
but you don't know my world
and if you don't know my world
you don't know me
i'm another riddle in your episodic world
happy ending land
the guy will get the girl
you may know something of me
but you don't know my world
and you never did
you may think it's easy
to understand my dream
but you don't know my world

Beyond The E Horizon
we are the lonely people
always looking down
searching on the ether
for what in the real world...can't be found
we like to give an appearance
that we're normal
that we're sane
but behind the stone walls we hide
a fortune in pain
lonely people reaching out
for a hand they cannot touch
lonely people holding on
to a dream that always lives
beyond the e horizon
we are the lonely settlers
in these electric plains
the heart in the real world
short circuits...in the pouring rain
we like to dream that we're happy
that we're solid
we're not fake
but behind the facade we build
a mountain of pain
lonely people reaching out
for a hand they cannot touch
lonely people holding on
to a dream that always lives
beyond the e horizon

Ringing Bells
the ice and snowy weather
wintertime is closing in
soon it will be Christmas
i can hear the ringing bells begin
ringing sounds of glory
ring the song of the Christmas story
they ring for you and me
ring on Christmas bells
ring on Christmas bells
i can't wait for Christmas day to come
ring on Christmas bells
ring on Christmas bells
ring a song of peace for everyone
the children look in wonder
at the season in their midst
soon that day is coming
they can hear the ringing bells begin
ringing sounds of glory
ring the song of the Christmas story

One Man Band
if i could give you one reason
why he plays on and he stays on
i would
but i don't know the magic he's hearing
as he plays on
for a world that just don't care
one man band...playin' on
after all of his mates gone home
one man band...sings his song
after all of the people gone
if i could tell you the secret
why he dreams on and he goes on
i would
but i can't reach the place he goes to
when he plays on
for a world that just don't care
one man band...playin' on
after all of his mates gone home
one man band...sings his song
after all of the people gone
and if i could get there
i'd be goin'

Serbian Snow
it looks just like Serbian snow
but it's miles away you know
from my Serbian home
so far away
this place has a similar look
but it comes from an alien book
it's not like my home
so far away
i miss the sunrise in Vojvodina
i miss the people who i know so well
i miss the way my heart would be beating
when it snowed back home
anyone can tell
it looks just like Serbian skies
although it could fool my eyes
it can't fool my heart
so far away
i miss the sunrise in Vojvodina
i miss the people who i know so well
i miss the way my heart would be beating
when it snowed back home
anyone can tell
it looks just like Serbian snow
but it's miles away you know
