i come to you with strange fire
i make an offering of love the incense of my soil is burned by the fire in my blood i come with a softer answer to the questions that lie in your path i want to harbor you from the anger find a refuge from the wrath this is a message a message of love love that moves from the inside out love that never grows tired i come to you with strange fire fire mercenaries of the shrine now who are you to speak for god with haughty eyes and lying tongues and hands that shed innocent blood now who delivered you the power to interpret calvary you gamble away our freedom to gain your own authority find another state of mind you know it's time we all learned to grab hold strange fire burns with the motion of love fire fire when you learn to love yourself you will dissolve all the stones that are cast now you will learn to burn the icing sky to melt the waxen mask i said to have the gift of true release this is a peace that will take you higher oh i come to you with my offering i bring you strange fire this is a message a message of love love that moves from the inside out love that never grows tired i come to you with strange fire fire fire I come to you with strange fire |

everybody loves you
and they want to know your story you go riding out a mystery concealed in all your glory but when it comes to flesh and bones you remind me of shallot only made of shadows even though you're not i remember how i spent all my energy and time with affected conversation trying to pry inside your mind you are as beautiful as truth and as empty as a shell and i came to you one night and it made me feel like hell oh to reach through all your surface just to find an empty pool and to suffer all your pride as i lay down by your side and you swallowed up my heart and left me a fool left me a fool everybody loves a hero an image to create the antithesis of everything inside ourselves we hate but you'd better close your eyes when it's time for them to die because you'd hate to think the life you'd built upon them was a lie oh to reach through all your surface just to find an empty pool and to suffer all your pride as i lay down by your side and you swallowed up my heart and left me a fool left me a fool i resign myself to silence i will never blow your cover no one ever has to know who the hero took for lover but it comes to mind as you blaze on as brilliant as a star how many you've left behind how many casualties there are oh to reach through all your surface just to find an empty pool and to suffer all your pride as i lay down by your side and you swallowed up my heart and left me a fool left me a fool |

i'm in search of greener pastures
don't like my garden's what i said although i'm working harder than last year i'm still deep in the red i am rowing as hard as i can and they're selling me up a stream i'm always one more step away from the american dream i got a chip on my shoulder about the size of a mental block i've got someone on the telephone trying to sell me a future in stock maybe i work too hard to be happy and i should practice letting go but it's hard not to rock the boat when you're sailing against the undertow i want to slide into the black and wear the black mask i might not get what i lack but it doesn't hurt to ask if i want to sail i need my life to be breezier i said please god or someone make it easier i went to sunday school every sunday swallowed the bait and i got the hook when i needed something someday i would read the good book tell me what does it take to get ahead sometimes i know i'd sell my soul when it looks like everybody else is flying and i'm crawling in the hole well maybe if i open my own business maybe if i buy a lottery ticket someone tell me what is the secret to getting out of the thicket give me more than just a sample i need a whole lot of glory my life become an example of the american success story i want to slide into the black and wear the black mask i might not get what i lack but it doesn't hurt to ask if i want to sail i need my life to be breezier i said please god or someone make it easier i want to slide into the black and wear the black mask i might not get what i lack but it doesn't hurt to ask if i want to sail i need my life to be breezier i said please god or someone make it easier make it easier make it easier |

when I let you go
I cursed myself with empty hands strong enough to watch you walk but not enough to understand with spiteful eyes you burn for my grace I was trying to stand outside of this you were trying to save face you can say that I don't care I don't care you can hope that we still have something left to share but just between you baby and me just between me baby and you there's nothing there I finally found someone I can hold you ask me to defend myself as if I shouldn't be so bold well get that look off of your face I don't have the time you don't have the place to say that I don't care I don't care to hope that we still have something left to share and just between me baby and you just between you baby and me there's nothing there baby what are you gonna do I can't salvage any truth for you everybody else already knows it hurts you to realize so leave well enough enough alone and you don't need my hands to help you understand you don't need to hear my voice (you have no choice) so don't be throwing stones the closer we get the harder they come now even if your feeling alone don't come home cause when it was up to you when it was up to you you left it up to me oh you left oh you left oh you left it up to me when it was up to you you left it up to me |

You can go to the East
To find your, inner hemisphere. You say we're under the same sky babe, You're bound to realize, Honey, it's not that clear. I'm not your promise land I'm not your promise one I'm not your Land of Canaan, sweetheart, Waiting for you under the sun. I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now. I'm wanting your love and you're giving it out. I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight. Well the meanings changed (for what it's worth), It's just a senseless game. I should think of love, but it's fear every time I hear Your heart strain. It's not the fallen man, It's not the call of time, It's just the London skyline Telling me you're not mine. I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now. I'm wanting your love and you're giving it out. I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight. My blood is running dry, My skin is, my skin is growing thin For every time you find yourself You lose a little bit of me, from within. It's just a raging cycle, why can't we Bring it all to the end of the line. From inside this existence, sweetheart, Time is not on my side. I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now. I'm wanting your love and you're giving it out. I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight. I'm not your promised land, I'm not your promised one. I'm not your promised land, I'm not your promised one. I'm not your Land of Canaan Sweetheart, I'm not your Land of Canaan Sweetheart, I'm not your Land of Canaan Sweetheart, Waiting for you under the sun, I'm lonely tonight. |

Through the wind and the rain I hear my mother's cry
She says, "I know my baby's out there Just couldn't bear to ask her why From my womb into the world Lord, I wish the child would call You know, I'm needing some company She makes my life so full" Take my advice, go ahead and live your own life Everybody's waiting for someone to come home Like the fire waits for the sand This world is burning with the tension of human hands Waiting to be cleansed, waiting for their ace of spades They say, "I sure hope he's coming 'Cause I feel like I've just been saved" Take my advice, go ahead and live while you're alive Everybody's waiting for someone to come home Come to me and cleanse my soul (I'm free, I'm free) Only with you am I whole (Can't you see that I am me?) I'll be waiting by the window (I'll be heading for the door) I was driving down highway 85, yeah Had to pull off the road just to hear my radio coming in clearer Lord, this life's so full, I said, "Why do we ask for more?" While we're waiting for the man to come We forgot what he's coming for Won't you take my advice, go ahead and live while you're alive Everybody's waiting for someone to come home (I'll be waiting by the window) Everybody's waiting for someone to come home (I'll be waiting by the window) Everybody's waiting for someone to come home Come home |
