Crowded

I’m standing
Standing all alone in a crowded room
I’m standing
Standing all alone in a crowded room
Start walking through the smoke
And I’m looking around
Everyone’s living with a blind eye
I feel like a poor man holding a suicide note
They look away in reply
I’m standing
Standing all alone in a crowded room
Alone in a crowded room
What’ve I got to do
Alone in a crowded room
I’m screaming but I know the air is thick in here
It’s thick with battle plans
I feel like a hungry child crying in another language
They say that they don’t understand
I’m standing
Standing all alone in a crowded room
Alone in a crowded room
What’ve I got to do
Alone in a crowded room
I listen carefully for a warning bell
But you could hear a pin drop in this place
I feel like a sad sad story no one wants to tell
Even if I’m looking in their face
I’m standing
Standing all alone in a crowded room
Alone in a crowded room
What’ve I got to do
Alone in a crowded room
Alone in a crowded room
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes

Devil All Along
05:23
|

I’m gonna need something strong tonight
Something pretty powerful
You’re more than I bargained for
I need something pretty powerful
Ooh, you’re taking me higher
You set me on fire
You’re taking me higher
You set me on fire
I should have known you’d be standing there
Looking like a saint and a devil
Yeah, I should have known
You’d be standing there
Looking like a saint and a devil
Everybody told me you were changing
I didn’t want to believe
But now I realize that you were just a
Devil all along, a devil all along, a devil along
My heart was just a sacrifice
Had to be made
So you could keep on playing
Your selfish little game
Oh, you’re taking me higher
You set me on fire
You’re still taking me higher
You set me on fire
I should have known you’d be standing there
Looking like a saint and a devil
I said I should have known
You’d be standing there
Looking like a saint and a devil
Everybody told me you were changing
I didn’t want to believe
But now I realize that you were just a
Devil all along, a devil all along, a devil along
You were just a devil all along
A devil all along, a devil all along, a devil all along
A devil all along, a devil all along...

Are You Listening
04:29
|

One dark night there was trouble in the city
A voice raised up in a political committee
Said, "I don't want your money, too late for your pity"
Are you listening? Are you listening?
The microphones are on and the cameras are rolling
Somebody stands up and says "I'm sick of the controlling
And the silver spoon that feeds all your stories and your polling"
Are you listening? Are you listening?
Sometimes I feel like I'm living in the eye of the storm
Spots of color say I'm farther and farther and farther from home
Monumental crisis was averted yesterday
And the conscience of society is dwindling away
But it's all right, we'll bring it home on Election Day
So who twisted up our sick reality
Threw a trophy to the masses in slick duality
Made us all aware of our own mortality
Are you listening?
Sometimes I feel like I'm living in the eye of the storm
Spots of color say I'm farther and farther and farther from home
Hey hey, all right, it was on a dark night
Lights in the sky, it was the 4th of July
Somebody stood up in the blink of an eye
Were you listening? Were you listening?
Hey hey, all right, it was on a dark night
Lights in the sky, it was the 4th of July
Shots rang out in the blink of an eye
Were you listening? Were you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening?

If you love me for my strengths
You have to accept my weaknesses, too
And closing your eyes won't do you any good
If you choose me for the good in my heart
You get the sinner in me, too
And I wouldn't change it even if I could
If I could break out of my skin
I would in a minute and then
I'd like in your arms til the sun came up
And you could chalk it up to another lost love
I want to watch the world spin round
If I could ever get off of the ground
I could see everything from a different view
And I wouldn't come down til I felt brand new
If you love me for my strengths
You have to accept my weaknesses, too
And closing your eyes won't do you any good
If you choose me for the good in my heart
You get the sinner in me, too
And I wouldn't change it even if I could
You say you want to get inside my mind
But you're afraid of what you'll find
But my intentions are good and my heart is pure
And my soul is clean though you're never sure
The love runs in my veins
Like a sweet, soft, summer rain
And I want you to know that when you are near
The rhythm is true, everything is clear
If you love me for my strengths
You have to accept my weaknesses, too
And closing your eyes won't do you any good
If you choose me for the good in my heart
You get the sinner in me, too
And I wouldn't change it even if I could
Oh, it's never goodbye
I guess I'll see you in my dreams

Cruel and Unusual
03:11
|
|||
I've been sitting and thinking and watching and hoping
But now I've really seen enough
You've been sinking in to concrete quicksand
How could you still be oblivious?
Hold out your hands and close your eyes
I'd like to give you something, will you guard it with your life?
No no no no, this is not a game
We treat the earth like one another, this is such a shame
With no apology we've been breaking nature's rules
It's a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual
I noticed that your front yard looks really, really nice
How many chemicals did you have to use to make your little paradise?
This is really quite an impressive legacy that you're leaving behind
But can you look into a child's eyes and say it's gonna be all right
And will you say
Hold out your hands and close your eyes
I'd like to give you something, will you guard it with your life?
No no no no, this is not a game
We treat the earth like one another, this is such a shame
With no apology we've been breaking nature's rules
It's a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual
I'm not gonna settle for apathy
I'm not gonna wait around for calamity
I'm not gonna be a part of the insanity
I said I'm gonna stand up, stand up for humanity
No no no no, this is not a game
We treat the earth like one another, this is such a shame
With no apology we've been breaking nature's rules
It's a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual

Indigo
03:31

A thousand years ago it tore my heart
When I closed my eyes
And you were never far
I’ll never tell you that you
Hold me in your hands
No, you’ll never know
Cause you could never understand
Yeah, indigo
Yeah, indigo
Oh, darling you’ll never know
I love you so
Yeah, indigo
Well, every now and then I say a prayer
Even though I know that I cannot compare
I’ll have to face it now, I know that it’s too late
And I’ll never hear the words
I desperately want to hear you say
Yeah, indigo
Yeah, indigo
Oh, darling you’ll never know
I love you so
Yeah, indigo
Oh, I feel like I’m contaminated
Holding him but loving you
You know it’s hanging over me
And glaring like an old tattoo
I tell myself that you were
Never something good for me
But it doesn’t stop the screaming for you
That goes on inside of me
Yeah, indigo
Yeah, indigo
Oh, darling you’ll never know
I love you so
Yeah, indigo

You Are There
04:03
|
|||
Moonlight, just bright enough for me to see you standing there
I can feel it in my soul, I can feel you in my soul
Sometimes it's so hard for me to let it all go, baby, let it all go
But tonight the sky's on fire, the sky's on fire
You are there when I turn out the lights
You are there when I close my eyes
You are there all the night
I can't take my eyes off of the place where the shadows dance all night
I know that you are there, I know that you are there
But when I let my heart drift into that place
Well, I know that it's wrong, I know that it's wrong
But tonight when the world's on fire, we set the world on fire
You are there whenever I'm alone
You are there and you don't even know
You are there haunting my dreams
And I hope you are there when the phone rings
And I'm going crazy wondering if you feel it, too
I've got so much to gain and even more to lose
I'm searching for clues in everything you've ever said
If you give me a sign, I just might lose my head
If I can feel you, I know that you are there, I know that you are there
If I can feel you, I know that you are there, I know that you are there
Moonlight, just bright enough for me to see you standing there

War Cry
04:56
|
|||
Prepare the cannon balls
Disarm the shopping malls
Take cover, it's an earthquake
Your brain's gonna rattle, you soul's about to shake
Give me one damn good reason
why I shouldn't step up and take my turn
I've been protecting my heart from the spark
and trying in vain to make the fire burn, well
I'm pouring gasoline, striking matches
and tossing them all around
And let me tell you, just above the sirens
You're gonna hear another sound
I'm gonna start something tonight
And there ain't no way I'm gonna lose this fight
I'm not afraid of a little gunpowder
I'll find the rhythm and I'll sing it even louder
I've got a lethal weapon of choice
Got a hungry soul and an angry voice
In a world where nobody makes it out alive
This is my war cry
I'm gonna go down to the tunnels
and dig my way into a fiery core
I've been roaming around the good side of town
just looking for something more
But good advice for someone else never worked for me
Well I'm a walk on the wild side,
the lock that didn't fit your key
I'm gonna start something tonight
And there ain't no way I'm gonna lose this fight
I'm not afraid of a little gunpowder
I'll find the rhythm and I'll sing it even louder
I've got a lethal weapon of choice
Got a hungry soul and an angry voice
In a world where nobody makes it out alive
This is my war cry
In the morning I'll wash myself clean of your disgrace
In the calm before the storm I'll wipe paint on my face
I'm gonna start something tonight
And there ain't no way I'm gonna lose this fight
I'm not afraid of a little gunpowder
I'll find the rhythm and I'll sing it even louder
I've got a lethal weapon of choice
Got a hungry soul and an angry voice
In a world where nobody makes it out alive
This is my war cry

Two Bad Hearts
03:41
|
|||
Na na na na na na...
Would you turn your back on your mother
Would you turn on a friend
If you got another chance would you beg for another
If you didn't know that hearts mend, mend, mend
You're feeling pretty good one day
It's so easy to believe everything that he say
If you want to be blind to the time out of mind
You're going to push me a way, way, way
Hey!
You've been pushed into a puddle face down
They say "get up and try again"
But you can still taste the mud even after you stand
It's too bad hearts mend
Na na na na na na...
You're feeling pretty good one day
It's so easy to believe everything that he say
If you want to be blind to the time out of mind
You're going to push me a way, way, way
Two bad hearts are made for each other in the end
You blow another chance and you beg for another
Well, it's too bad hearts mend

Alive Tonight
04:43
|
|||
We're not standing on the corner with a cup held out
In our minds, in our hearts, well there is no doubt
Sometimes a little danger is good for the soul
There's a fine line between seeing and knowing
We're hanging on the line of precarious motion
Turn it on, plug it in, crank it up, and then again
1, 2, 3, 4, now we're ready to begin
When the stars align
Rock and roll is alive
And this our time
Rock and roll is alive tonight
Gold and silver melted into our hands
We ain't working no lemonade stand
Tell me now why the ordinary makes you feel so good
Well, nobody brought us into this life
So we could cry about the chances that we denied
Turn it on, plug it in, crank it up, and then again
1, 2, 3, 4, now we're ready to begin
When the stars align
Rock and roll is alive
And this is our time
Rock and roll is alive tonight
When the stars align
Rock and roll is alive
And this is our time
Rock and roll is alive tonight
When the stars align and the sounds combine
A voice is heard saying all the right words
A crowd is near, suddenly it's clear
Bittersweet goodbye, then you learn to fly

Crazy Without You
04:16
|
|||
I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you
And no, I never knew I needed you like I do
I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you
I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why
I'm crazy without you
The fire of betrayal never burned so brightly as it did tonight
I already lost you, now the rest of my life is standing in line
And who would've thought that this could even happen
We always said that we would never, ever lose our passion
And now I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you
And no, I never knew I needed you like I do
I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you
I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why
I'm crazy without you
My dreams all started alone, now they don't know a life without you
I know I can make them true by myself, but I don't want to
I could tell you again and again that we cannot go on apart
But it's all for the best in the end, at least that's what I'm telling my heart
And now I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you
And no, I never knew I needed you like I do
I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you
I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why
I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you
And no, I never knew I needed you like I do
I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you
I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why
I'm crazy without you
Ooh

So Long
03:56
|

I'll take a train down those rusty railroad tracks
I'll take a train, lord knows I ain't ever coming back
It's been so long my baby's been gone
I won't play the fool, baby that ain't me anymore, anymore
I won't play the fool, this time I'm leaving for sure.
It's been so long my baby's been gone
Oh, oh
I'm packing a bag and leaving the rest behind
I'm packing a bag, I've got Chicago on my mind
It's been so long my baby's been gone, whoa
Oh, oh
Don't even know what I'm waiting for anymore
It's getting cold and I'm closing the door
I know that he's gonna find if he comes back now
He'll be sitting alone in a quiet house
Oh, oh, oh, ooh yeah
Ah... it's been so long, I've got Chicago on my mind
Whoa, yeah
