Streets
As darkness falls so hard The children play .. Somewhere Out there Alone and out of place Streets of illusion Sooth the shattered fate I've been a runner I've been a sinner I've been inside my head I sit here staring Never quite caring And this is where it has led [Chorus] These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake Somewhere out there Gardens bloom and grow Children awaken To a world they know Somewhere the sun shines Somewhere the light's kind Somewhere they seek the day Somewhere there's no scene Somewhere the air's clean But somewhere is so far away These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake .... Welcome children From the other side In the darkness Your eyes are opened wide Here there are answers On the edge dancers Here the night hides out sins And if you listen While the streets glisten Here's where our story begins These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake |

Jesus was a talker Out of place New Yorker Hung out on the boulevard Sellin' nickel candies Saving all his quarters Bought himself a cheap guitar Started playing' bars The kids came in their cars You'd hear them shouting at the stage Chorus Jesus saves Jesus saves Jesus started changin' Things got really strange He saw his tee shirts everywhere Started missing shows The band came down to blows But Jesus He no longer cared Things got out of hand And so he quit the band But still the critics they would rave Jesus saves Jesus saves Her him cut through the night On your late night radio waves So the dice were cast Today became the past And Jesus He just disappeared Headed for New York Or so his label thought And there he gave away the years Last seen drinking wine Beneath a flashing sign Promising salvation to strays Jesus saves Jesus saves Her Him cut through the night On your late night radio waves |

Nighttime again
Seems I'm my only friend Wander the streets alone The lost in search of his own Once again I've played the clown Used my friends and let them down Walk the streets just staring out Late at night the strange come out Time, time, time again I'm just looking for a friend But no one seems to be around Just this monkey that I've found Still he is my only friend And tonight he grins again Tonight he grins again Oh yeah Tonight he grins again It's cold this pain It's burning inside my veins I walk away A shadow of Dorian Gray Once again I've played the clown Used my friends and let them down Walk the streets staring out Late at night the strange come out Time, time, time again I'm just looking for a friend No one seems to be around Just this monkey that I've found Still he is my only friend And tonight he grins again Tonight he grins again Oh yeah Tonight he grins again Oooh, livin' on the... edge |

A Little Too Far
Do you remember Look at me At all the things we said we'd be We'd beat the house We'd push the odds We'd take it all we had the cards With years to burn And years to trash Livin' life based on flash But somehow reaching for the stars I think we went a bit too far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back When everything you touch turns gold Can weigh you down Can make you old When metal doesn't ring the same Reaction from inside your brain And all the years we offered up To gods who couldn't get enough Though we still stay up all night The mornings aren't quite as bright Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back And all those things we thought we learned As we watch our bridges burn While standing in the afterglow I guess we gave them quite a show And who's to say what it's about When John Wayne caught the last train out And Spock and Kirk have had enough And no one's left to beam me up Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Yeah Oh ho I never meant to take it this far |

Hey there Lord it's me I wondered if you're free Or not asleep This just won't keep It seems I just don't see Why all the things we asked Or prayed would come to pass Have gone unheard Like silent words That slip into the past For Lord they're not schemes Can't you tell dreams Why do you Let them slip by Never even tried It isn't you don't hear There's far too many tears Or can't you feel Are we unreal To one who knows no peers You say we must pay dues But still I am confused I need to walk And with you talk Instead of to statues For Lord they're not schemes Can't you tell dreams Why do you Let them slip by Never even tried You take all the fame But who'll accept the blame For all the hurts Down here on earth Unnecessary pain For surely you must care Or are you only air Built in out minds When we're in binds And never really there (Bridge) And can we be tired of you Is that something that we're allowed to do For even the blind change their view And it's time we tried something new And so I pled my case I'll now pull my escape Didn't mean to doubt What it's about Seems I forgot my place But if you find the time Please change the story line Or give a call Explain it all I'll even leave the dime |

Can You Hear Me Now
by Savatage If I closed me eyes Would it all subside To an echo in the night Of a distant fading light Then a stranger's silhouette A burning cigarette And somewhere in the haze A passage through the maze Can you hear me now Or are there just too many doors Between then and now For me to ever reach on through Pull you back somehow That don't happen anymore Still in the night I think I hear you calling I have walked this stage As the music played They knew every word But they never heard For they never changed It's all very strange As I'm standing here Contemplating years Can you hear me now Are there just too many doors Between then and now For me to ever reach on through And pull you back somehow Well that don't happen anymore Still in the night I swear I hear you calling Can you hear me now Are there just too many doors Between then and now For me to ever reach on through And pull you back somehow But that don't happen anymore Still in the night I think I hear you calling |

I've been here since eighty-one That's a long time And I've seen All there is here to see Had a space on Astor place Had it all once Now there streets Are my reality You see New York City Don't mean nothing Just a good place when you're running Light that cut so bright they make you bleed Neon children live their lives there Mad magicians tinsel nightmares Still you know I'm never gonna leave Never sleep alone on the subways Never walk alone on the tracks Never take a ride to the edge of your mind Not unless you have a ticket back Don't believe in T.V. preachers Don't believe in talk show stars Never follow trends if they turn on your friends Just to be sure you know who your friends are And if you're running blind On a refueled mind Better watch the time And careful you don't go too far Never burn the bridges before you If you've burned the bridges behind And never burn the one that you're walking upon Or you're sure to hit the water in time Don't believe in expectations Don't believe in shooting stars And if you make a stand on a dead empty hand Never let them see your cards And if you're running blind On a refueled mind Better watch the time And careful you don't go too far |

Ghost In The Ruins
Got a limousine I wanna show it Future's looking good I'll probably blow it Had some parents once But you'd never know it Bank roll oversize So what if I stole it But who am I foolin' I'm the king of the ruins But I'm doin' well tonight Got dreams to sell tonight Got to belong Try to hang on Got to belong Ghost in the ruins I'm runnin' the street scene Ghost in the ruins Burnin' like gasoline Ghost in the ruins I'm takin' you in deep Ghost in the ruins East Side West Side playin' for keeps See the runaway there on the corner Just a throwaway but somebody's daughter Had a pretty face so somebody bought her Sellin' her soul away so put in your order She knows what she's doin' She's a ghost in the ruins She's doin' it well tonight She got dreams to sell tonight She wants to belong She knows what to do She's got to hang on Ghost in the ruins I'm runnin' the street scene Ghost in the ruins Burnin' like gasoline Ghost in the ruins I'm takin' you in deep Ghost in the ruins East Side West Side Playin' for keeps Playin' for keeps Yeah, yeah .. Wants to belong Knows what to do You got to hang on Ghost in the ruins I'm runnin' the street scene Ghost in the ruins Burnin' like gasoline Ghost in the ruins I'm takin' you in deep Ghost in the ruins East Side West Side Playin' for keeps You know I don't know anymore I know I know that you know I know I know that you know I know I know that you know I don't know anymore I know I know that you know I know I know that you know I know I know that you know I don't know anymore I'm tellin' you I don't know anymore No, no I don't know anymore |

If I Go Away
by Savatage Somewhere on that long lonely road We all stand alone Looking for clues From our different views In the dark I've called out your name It echoes in vain Over again In an empty room If I go away What would still remain of me The ghost within your eyes The whisper in your sighs You see Believe And I'm always there Staring down a long empty hall Pictures on walls All with your name But it's not the same Searching for the chord I can't hear Been searching for years It's somewhere inside But it's well disguised If I go away What would still remain of me The ghost within your eyes The whisper in your sighs You see Believe And I'm always there Someday I'll take a chance You find them where you can They tend to slip away Those doors to yesterday Forever is a long time they say Maybe some day I'll meet you there If you've time to spare Tell me then Where I can go Where they won't know Who I have been Can we start again And if I go away What would still remain of me The ghost within your eyes The whisper in your sighs You see Believe And I'm always there |
