CALL TO ARMS
There's a little black, dark scar, tired divide
This is it, can you hear me?
Have you ever felt a sad heart buried alive?
You can do almost anything
There's a little red bridge with the view of the sun
With a lake, I recommend such a setting sight
And the thousands of stars, come out thousands of times
We can go, only if you believe
Only if you believe
Do you feel like you've lost everything you can lose?
This is it, can you hear me?
When you cry do your tears ever chill up the room?
Calling out in a moment of need
Do you ever lay awake with a look in the eye?
Asking God if a wish is too big to deny
I will offer a line, and it's ready for use.
Let me know are you ready for me?
I'd like to say, that you're my only fear
And when I dream, it slowly disappears
And when I wake, I'm right here by your side
To feel your heart, beat in and out of time.
When the storm brings rain, snow fate of all kinds
You can feel almost anything.
When the day seems to melt, fall flat into night
You can feel almost anything.
When you can't go on, you got to get up and try
This is it, can you feel me?
When the bombs come down, you will make it alive
But only if you want to believe
I'd like to say, that you're my only fear.
And when I dream, it slowly disappears.
And when I wake, I'm right here by your side
To feel your heart, beat in and out of time
I'd like to say, that you're my only fear
And when I dream, it slowly disappears
And when I wake, I'm right here by your side
To feel your heart, beat in and out of time
Out of time
(You're my only)
When I dream
(You're my only)
When I dream
I feel your heart
When I dream
I'm out of time
(I feel your heart)
When I dream
I'm out of time
(I feel your heart)
I feel your heart
I feel your heart
I feel your heart
I'd like to say that you're my only fear
And when I dream, it slowly disappears
And when I wake, I'm right here by your side
To feel your heart beat in and out of time

EVERYTHING’S MAGIC
And do you ever feel like you're alone?
And do you ever wish you'd be unknown?

And do you ever feel things here aren't right?
And do you ever feel the time slip by?

And reach out your hand, and I'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic
And do you ever lay awake at night?
And do you ever tell yourself don't try?
Don't try to let yourself down
Don't try to let yourself down
And do you ever see yourself in love?
And do you ever take a chance, my love?
Because you know that I will
Because you know that I will

Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and I'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic

BREATHE
A blue-black shade of love sent from above
My hands are tied, two worlds alone, and this I know
Your breath's like wine, and just like clouds, my skin crawls
It's so divine, the sky it glows with fields of light
Did you know that I love you?
Come and lay with me
I love you
And honesty, I love you
You make me feel alive
And I'll love you
Until the end of time
My hands shake clasped with fear, as you come near
To say goodnight, just like a dove, a peaceful sign
To help us by, as you come in, let this begin.
Stars fall like dust, our lips will touch, we speak too much.
Did you know that I love you?
Come and lay with me
I love you
And honesty, I love you
You make me feel alive
And I'll love you
Until the end of time
Did you know that I love you?
Come and lay with me
I love you
And honesty, I love you
You make me feel alive
And I'll love you
Until the end of time
I've got a lot to say, if you will let me
It's always hard when you're around me
But here right now, there's interest in your eyes
So hear me out and hear this the first time
That I... love you (Come and lay with me)
That I... love you (And honesty)
That I... love you (You make me feel alive)
That I... love you
‘Til the end of time

LOVE LIKE ROCKETS
(Spoken transmission:)
Through the marvels of scientific advance
My voice is coming to you from a satellite
Circling in outer space
Through this unique means I convey to you and all mankind
America's wish for Peace on Earth.
I held my head as I left the ground
The belts grew tight as the blast grew loud
A loving wish whispered in my ear
“Please leave with grace, all the best my dear”
Yeah, it's like…
I held your hand as I pulled you in
Your lips sealed tight ready to begin
I kissed you first then you kissed my ear
If I ask you once will you ask me every year?
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)
The sun is set in the night time sky
The stars they cast a glow upon my eyes
The earth itself a burning ball of light
Yeah, it's like…
When our first love was ignited late that night
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)
Do you feel alive? (Imagine, imagine)
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with all its light and fire and sound
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with all its light and fire and sound
(Do you feel alive? Imagine, imagine)
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with all its light and fire and sound
(Do you feel alive? Imagine, imagine)
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with all its light and fire and sound
(Do you feel alive? Imagine, imagine)
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with all its light and fire and sound
(Do you feel alive? Imagine, imagine)
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with all its light and fire and sound

SIRENS
There's a weakness in the window
Place my footprints in the dark room
There's lonely voices like a scarecrow
In the hallway like a lost ghost
In the bedroom I see a shadow
From the moon with light from a candle
On a bed-frame lies a girl
Her reflection in the mirror
I like your eyes wide
I'm knocking at your back door
Nervous like a knife fight
Be careful what you ask for
I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me
It's a dark night on the West Coast
Then a soft breeze as the sun rose
Then the phone rang like a gunshot
Like a siren on the beach rock
There's a message at the river
A certain package here to the deliver
When the day breaks after nightfall
I will be there, you know I will
I like your eyes wide
I'm knocking at your back door
Nervous like a knife fight
Be careful what you ask for
I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me (from time to time)
I can hear you breathe,
I'm feeling the shake
And the sound of my heartbeat
Can't let go
Do you know
I'm feeling the pain
Of my first love?
I won't let it go
Can't let go
I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I want to taste you as you breathe (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time)
I do this from time to time
Where I like to think of you with me
From time to time

SECRET CROWDS
(If I had my own world)
(I'd build you an empire)
If I had my own world
I'd fill it with wealth and desire
A glorious past to admire
And voices of kids out walking dogs,
Birds, planes, cleanest cars
If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more wars, death or riots
There'd be no more police, packed-parking lots,
Guns, bombs sounding off
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
If I had my own world
I'd show you the life that's inside it
The way that it glows when you find it
The way it survives with its families,
Friends or its enemies
Let's make this a new world
I swear you can go if you want to
I know that you have it within you
Inventing the first clean and usable,
God's greatest miracle
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch our words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder

STAR OF BETHLEHEM / TRUE LOVE
(Spoken transmission:)
She's scared
She's a star
Burning across the night time sky
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh [x9]
The snow has come down on top of everything
The town is alive and well without you
The lights, they peer out of the leafless trees
And you wont be alone, I am beside you
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh [x4]
True love
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you
Tears, spilling out, across a dead end street
Your house, is a lonely box that holds you
The star, bright and loud, is in dire need
Of the fear, it is an empty fear inside you
Yo eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh [x4]
True love
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you
True love
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you
True love
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home (True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you
True love
The stars in the sky illuminate below
The light is the sign that love will guide you home (True love)
The stars in the sky illuminate below
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.

LIFELINE
With an urgent, careful stare
And some panic in those eyes
If I see you lying there
Hoping this was the last time
If you hear a distant sound
And some footsteps by your side
When the world comes crashing down
I will find you if you hide
If you wish it, wish it now
If you wish it, wish it loud
If you want it, say it now
If you want it, say it loud
We all make mistakes
Here's your lifeline
If you want to, I want to
We all make mistakes
Here's your lifeline
If you want to, I want to
There’s a field with a dream
I watched it grow with whitest light
I watched us all reach out and lean
For the strength to touch the sky
If you hear a distant sound
And some footsteps by your side
If you feel like coming round
I will take you for a ride
If you wish it, wish it now
If you wish it, wish it loud
If you want it, say it now
If you want it, say it loud
We all make mistakes
Here's your lifeline
If you want to, I want to
We all make mistakes
Here's your lifeline
If you want to, I want to
Yo oh, oh ohh oh… [x8]
Yo oh, oh ohh oh (If you want to, I want to)… [x8]

RITE OF SPRING
I was locked all day in the summer heat,
In a small brown house in suburban street,
With a skateboard and my shit guitar
I'd dream all day that they would get me far
My dad would ask me about my grades
The asshole sports that I never played
And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date
Behind our backs when mom would stay up late
It was near when I turned sixteen,
Got kicked out of school, and so it seemed
That things were closing in and ready to blow
My dad moved out about that year or so
It took an hour to start a punk rock band
To offset my fucked up family land
And as I held my mom would start to cry
I swore ourselves a better life
If I had a chance for another try
I wouldn’t change a thing
It's made me all of who I am inside
And if I could thank God
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake
I tell myself a little harmless lie
The whole wide world is mine
The summers gone, the years have passed
My friends have changed, a few did last
The smallest dreams got pushed aside
The largest ones that changed my life
And all I wish for has come to pass
From rock n’ roll, to love and cash
It’s all success if it’s what you need
Do what you like and do it honestly
If I had a chance for another try
I wouldn’t change a thing
It's made me all of who I am inside
And if I could thank God
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake
I tell myself a little harmless lie
The whole wide world is mine
Yo oh oh oh, yo oh oh [x4]
If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn’t change a thing
It's made me all of who I am inside
And if I could thank God
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake
I tell myself a little harmless lie
The whole wide world is mine
(And the whole wide world is mine)
If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn’t change a thing
(And the whole wide world is mine)
It's made me all of who I am inside
And if I could thank God
(And the whole wide world is mine)
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake
(And the whole wide world is mine!)
I tell myself a little harmless lie
The whole wide world is mine

HEAVEN
(Intro: Clips from Valkyrie Missile, The Adventure & Start the Machine)
I will run the streets and hostile lands
I will touch the rain with all I have
I will breathe the air, to scream it loud
My feet will never touch the ground
Because the days they feel like ancient clocks
Like when kids grow up, and learn to walk.
Because your life is full of pure desire
A place so gloriously wired
With lights and sounds,
Oh God, this is such a mess
And it's like our world, but we're the last ones left
And the hair, it stands
On the back of our necks
And I swear, it shows
Heaven must be just like this
Do you see the hills beneath the clouds?
And the stars as trails, to lead you out?
Can you sense the pain, that's everywhere?
And if you try, you'll never care
And the love you had when you were young
Is right outside for all to come
Because your life is full of pure desire
A place so gloriously wired
With lights and sounds,
Oh God, this is such a mess,
And it's like our world, but we're the last ones left
And the hair, it stands on the back of our necks
And I swear, it shows
Heaven must be just like this.
If you see a light break through the clouds
And fire up like distant towers
Where the world will begin, exactly how it ends
When you call for help when you are lost
Forever more, at whatever cost,
And the world will begin, exactly how it ends,
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, now yeah, yeah oh, yeah oh oh, yeah oh
Here I am
