Phil Lanzon

Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land
For an enemy
Came across
Love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost

Sky full of eyes
Minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts
Down to their graves
Murdered the dawn
Spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun
Of which love was born

We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice - the future has it's price
And today is only
Yesterday's tomorrow

Tomorrow ...

This is a thing I have
Never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've
Never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin?and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road
I had walked behind you

Easy livin?and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'

I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me: "Hold on"
Her father was the leading man
Said: "You're not welcome on our land"
And then as a foe, he told me to go

He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her: "Leave me"
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
Sweet little girl
She means all the world

Oh, I want my qypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of a man
That he'll understand

She came to me one morning
one lonely Sunday morning
her long hair flowing
in the mid winter wind
I know not how she found me
for in darkness I was walking
and destruction lay around me
from a fight I could not win

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
to fight and kill their brothers
without thought of men or god
And I begged her give me
horses to trample down my enemies
so eager was my passion to devour
this waste of life

But she would not think of battle
that reduces men to animals
so easy to begin
and yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men
had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again
and asked if she would stay

Oh lady lend your hand I cried
Oh let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in me
she said and filled
my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
I've no such misconceptions
But when you need me be assured
I won't be far away

Thus having spoke she turned away
and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until
I saw her black cloak disappear
My labor is no easier
but now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize
and say hello for me

LOOK AT YOURSELF

I see you running
Don't know what
You're running from
Nobody's coming
What'd you do that was so wrong

Look back and turn back
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

If you need assistance
Or if all you need is love
There's no point in hiding
Tell me what you're frightened of

You've got a friend, just
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

There rides the rainbow demon
On his horse of crimson fire
Black shadows are following closely
On the heels of his desire

Ridin' on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day

Rainbow demon
Pick up your heart and run
Rainbow demon
Lives for his sword and his gun

Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide.
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride.

Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.

Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine.
I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time.

Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave.
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'. nothing left to save
but my life.

Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.

Stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine.
I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying.

All that fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to an early grave.
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save
but my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life.

So I stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine.
I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying.
I was stealing when I should have been buying,
I was stealing when I should have been buying.
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING woo
STEALING hahaha, yeh
I was STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING oh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
STEALING oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
STEALING rock'n'roll, alright
STEALING rock'n'roll, alright
STEALING babe, babe
STEALING should, should, should have been buying
STEALING should, should, should have been buying
STEALING should have, should have, should have been buying
STEALING buying, yeah

He was the wizard
Of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him
One night wandering
He told me tales
And he drank my wine
Me and my magic man
Kinda feeling fine

He had a cloak of gold
And eyes of fire
And as he spoke
I felt a deep desire
To free the world
Of its fear and pain
And help the people
To feel free again

Why don't we listen to
The voices in our hearts
멌ause then I know we'd find
We're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
The peace that love can bring

So spoke the wizard
In his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom
Means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And a million silver stars
That guide me with their light

You're too vain, you're insane
You think the world will stop turning
'Cause you ain't around

Blind eyes, cheap lines
You got the whole band playing
But you don't hear the sound
Your venom pen
Will never poison me
I won't be sticking round that long

Corina, what's this talk of glory
Between the sheets in halls of fame
Corina, just a hard luck story
Bratpack fever
Running through your brain

Your fast cars, rock stars
You were seen at the party
But you weren't even there

False name, the same game
Somebody's minding your business
You don't even care
You think it's all
Some kind of circus ride
You think that someone's
Keeping score

I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me: "Hold on"
Her father was the leading man
Said: "You're not welcome on our land"
And then as a foe, he told me to go

He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her: "Leave me"
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
Sweet little girl
She means all the world

Oh, I want my qypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of a man
That he'll understand

Hit the city, hit the night
Crazy people, neon light
Hit the club, sip the wine
Just remember to leave on time
Hit the red lights, check the girls
You're steppin' into another world
See the man, he'll spin you alive
But just remember to leave on time
Heartache, city of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city
Crazy people in heartache city
City of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city, it's a city of sin
Check the star club, see the stars
See the action
In the back street bars
Lookin' for love
You're in the wrong place
Tricks for kicks
Can you stand the pace
Heartache, city of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city
Crazy people in heartache city
City of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city

Hit the city, hit the night
Crazy people, neon light
You pay your money
It's no real crime
But just remember to leave on time
Heartache, city of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city
Crazy people in heartache city
City of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city
Heartache, city of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city
Crazy people in heartache city
City of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city

Mister majestic fires a gun
Mister majestic
He got a lie on his tongue
You can't help but listen
He got a way with words
Don't ask useless questions
Unless you want to
Leave this world

Madam odessa carries a knife
Across to the jailhouse
In her pretty style
She ain't looking out for business
She got a way with words
She is gonna take that man
For what he done to her

This was how the west was won
Lawless and unruly
Now I guess what's done, is done

She took her old man in cold blood
He hit the deck
With that si-si-si-sickening thud


Life was cheap, that's what we
Always heard about
It was over something stupid
They could have talked it out

This was how the west was won
Lawless and unruly
Now I guess what's done, is done
Billy thought that billy was right

Where is the killer, nobody knows
He's waiting in the dark saloon
For night to close
He tried to cheat
At the gambling table
A stranger pulls and fires
As he falls he sees the stranger is
Madam in disguise

This was how the west was won ...

Tryin' to make it back
To my old home town
I've been driving since
The break of dawn
Got a feeling like a fever
Burning in my brain
When I see her
It'll be all gone

Pacific highway
Getting nearer now
And I feel like
The dream is coming true
Pacific highway
Getting closer now
I don't need directions
To find my way back to you

Take another turning
On the old creek road
Making sure I don't get lost
I'm hoping to hell
My taco's reading right
Get ahead no matter
What the cost

Tryin' to take it easy
On the old home stretch
But city limits come into sight
I'm getting ready for my Betty
God how I missed that girl
We're rock-n-rollin'
Through the night

I don't need directions
To find my way back to you

I only got five more miles, yeah
Only four more miles, yeah
I only got three miles, two miles
One mile to go

Wind it up, here comes the video
It's that song again
Turn it up, it's on the radio
Charge me up, I got electric eyes
I won't fall down
Light me up
Just like a christmas tree
Or am I seeing things
Wind it up, turn it up
Charge me up, never stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on
And give me rock'n'roll
Give me rock'n'roll
Strap me in to the rocket ship
I'm headin' for the sun
Tune me in to the mother ship
I must be seeing things
Wind it up, turn it up
Charge me up, please don't stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on
And give me rock'n'roll
Rockarama, it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on the stereo
Give me rock'n'roll ...
Plug me in jack to jack
Pin me to the wall
Hey leave that on, I'm on MTV
Now I'm seein' things
Wind it up, here comes that video
It's that song again
Turn me up, I'm on the radio
Or am I hearing things
Wind it up, turn it up
Charge me up, don't you stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on
Give me rock'n'roll
Rockarama, it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on the stereo
Give me rock'n'roll
Give me rock'n'roll
Rockarama, it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on my stereo
Give me rock'n'roll ...

When I'm all alone on a distant path
And my ticket home
Has been torn in half
Oh, I can hear your voice girl
I can feel your touch
Across the miles tonight

On the road again will it always be
That the dream has changed
On its way to reality
Oh but the thought of you
Strange how it pulls me through
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off through the midnight sky

As the miles go by cities come and go
When you close your eyes
And listen to the radio
Girl can you hear my song
The signal is clear and strong
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off across the miles

You're not the only one
Amongst the saints and sinners
There are those that we can see
And those no longer with us
To take that walk again
With someone you were close to
On stage in the other world tonight

And there are many
Who will say it's speculation
We need to focus on
The sleeping generation
The healing vision
That extends beyond the pain
Will take you there and back again

I can remember
You were no stranger
As you came to me
Dreamers walking
And in that moment
Between two worlds


I saw the furthest star
Exploding all around you

And through the journey
You spoke in silence
And you made it clear
Walk in peace now
Then you touched me
Revealing all upon your way
Inside the burning fountain of timeOf time ...

A time so real as the one
We share each day
The same dimension
Just a heartbeat away
In every part of you
There's so much exploration
Out on the edge of space and time

Once there was a man of power
Had no care for human life
Then one day he saw his living lie
Growing all around him
The wheel of change had taken over
Found a love he never knew
Now he teaches children what is true
Gather all around him

What made him choose to turn away
What makes us change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

Running around in your confusion
From the cradle to the grave
Ain't got time to see the world go by
Where are you going
Always moving round in circles
Talking words that never end
Standing in the grip of madness
Why oh why
What are you saying

How can we choose to run away
How do we change our mind
See the perception turn around


There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

Realise this understanding
Move before it gets too late
Take this chance
Or life will pass you by
This is the only way
We must pull ourselves together
There's so much we must explain
Got to teach the children what is true
There is no other way

Why did we choose to turn away
Why did we change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

The incredible gift of life
Where the fire within burns bright
Every moment we live is true
And the spirit is all in you

It doesn't matter what you say
The cards are in your favour
We don't need no magic ride
To take you far away
Just give it a silent thought
And you will find the power

'cause everything in life
Will tell you something
Yeah everything in life can set you free

Can you remember a distant dream
That holds your real attention
You don't need a preacher's word
To know what's going on
The secret is all aboard


The wings of your perception

Stand up and fight your troubled mind
Wait no longer
See the power in your life

Disbelievers come on strong
Lost in self importance
They don't know an average man
Can see this mystery
Jump into the twilight world
And gather your awareness

I can feel your sadness
From what I said to you
I'm drinking my forgiveness
So restless and confused
I don't know what I see
But it looks a lot like love
Showing me something
Deeper then deep in my soul

And it makes me feel like
I'm at the point of no return - feels like
I'm at the point
It makes me feel like
I'm at the point of no return - feels like
I'm at the point

I was drifting through the days
With nowhere else to turn
I finally discovered
How much I have to learn


I shouldn't be afraid
For you to bring my love
Taking me somewhere
Deeper than deep in my soul

This time my heart will lead the way
To win the game you'got to play

You love me like a lover
I see it in your face
No need to think it over
No need to run the race
I don't know if you planned it
But you're driving me insane
Telling me something
Over and over again

I know the world is full of light
So why can't things just work out right
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
It used to be so full of love
But now it's only push and shove
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land

Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
From deep inside, where love must lie

No need to play the perfect fool
Stand up for love, break the rule
Oh come with me
You know that you can
I see the sky, I see the ground
What's in between must now be found
There is no life
Inside this heartless land

Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
Somewhere in your soul
Where love must lie



And I say ... come to the light
Everyday is getting closer
To your sweet surrender
Out of the cold
'Cause I found a way
That we can fly forever
With direction and peace of mind
The river will flow

Come to the light, my love
'Cause I need you here
I need you here tonight

The chains of love they run so deep
But the hand that writes the law is weak
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
'Cause it's the place the broken go
The place that we don't want to know
There is no love
Inside this heartless land

I feel the pressure
Pushing down on me
Can't face the world
Can't change the things I see
I got my hands in my pockets
Staring at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

I hear voices in my head
They taunt me
Can't lock them out
Inside my thoughts
They breathe in me
I got my hands in my pockets
Screaming at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

I've got to run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Take away the pain and the joy
Release the man from the boy
Run to be free, run from the heart


Life will take you where it goes

You can offer me salvation
Feed me when I call
Don't talk to me of sanity
When I'm not quite here at all

I've touched the sun
I felt it's warmth in me
So you will never take away my dignity
Cause I've got my hands in my pockets
Fighting for my cause
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

Run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Life will take you where it goes
Run to be free
Run from the heart

Here we are
Once more in a world full of fantasy
Dream again
You need to believe in a future
That's bright as the sun
Shining there for you
Shining there for me
I am the mountain high, I am the sea

In the moment you take possession
It'll all disappear and there's the lesson
And the minute you think it's over
Say the word and your dream
Is coming back

All the way
I followed the road that was real to me
And suddenly
You take it for granted


And things don't turn out
Like you planned
When you think you've found
What is good and true
Through the open door
It can really turn on you

So here we are
We look for the light in so many eyes
And in our life
When hope starts to fade
There's a strength that
We give to each other
Walking in the sky over everyone
Head above the coulds
As we're touching the sun

I havent' listened to a word you've said
I've been wandering inside my head
Don't care what you think of me
You only see what you want to see
So here I am in my paradise
In my heaven everything is alright

Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young

I've been around for a long time
Losing my way but not my mind
So I drink and play you along
But who cares when the fire burns on
So I'm out here in my paradise
It's my heaven and it feels so right

Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside


Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young at heart
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young

Live your life - in this time
We've only today - drink life's wine
Don't be fooled
Don't believe what they say
Don't believe what they say

I havent' listened to a word you've said
Say what you like
You're not in my head
Time goes with each breath we take
It rules the world the day we awake
So here I sit here in my paradise
Don't give a damn everything is alright

When I think about it
Does anybody win
Taking for yourself and giving nothing
Now that we're apart
I see it wasn't really love
I can ride down the road
And let my soul run free

You may think it over
But no matter what you say
You're talking to yourself
And getting nowhere
There ain't no second chances
No reason to pretend
I'm gonna ride down the road
And let my soul run free

Now that we've grown apart
It seems so very sad
Why did it turn so bad and I remember
You said that all good things
Must surely end
Never mind all the hearts
That lie broken

I know I'll never make
The same mistake again


I doesn' matter what you say

Now I think about it
We all need a little time
'cause if we ain't got love
We ain't got nothing
The doors are opened wide
On my one and only life
Gonna ride down the road
And let my soul run free

I know I'll never make
The same mistake again
But I will always be your friend

Now that we've grown apart
It seems so very sad
Why did it turn so bad and I remember
And I remember

Let my soul run free
Let my soul run free
Did I break your perfect little heart

There's a lie that runs
Across the human race
There's a truth that draws
A tear upon your face
A child is crying and it echoes
All over the world

If we try to find some
Deep communication
Bring an end to war
And start a new creation
From the truth inside
It's waiting, it's waiting

Suddenly then
The clearest voice will call
Feeling the air
You have no choice at all

Can I ask the question to you
Do you know who you are
Do you know what we're doing here
Try to see the way from within
'Cause it isn't outside
Let your honesty see it clear
Why does anger fit our hearts


With missconception
Turn us inside out in every direction
From the truth inside
That's waiting, it's waiting

Follow the voice
That lives inside your heart
Never the choice
That tears your world apart

Take a walk and be
A wave upon the oceanTouch the sky and
Feel our spirit in motion
This is the love inside that's waiting
Just waiting

Suddenly everything is there to see
You can be everything you want to be

Are you ready to go my love
Are you ready to be my love
Are you ready to die for love

When our hearts were young
We put our hands into the flames
Felt the heat from our emotions
We had fire in our veins
All those night we'd spend
Alone in your room
Though my silent thoughts
I still remember

We would use the power of love
Free our souls in endless love
We would sacrifice
Our hopes and dreams
Because without love
Our world would surely die

When our hearts were young
We never thought that
Life would change
Now the seasons go on


Oh why do we shelter from the rain
And all those nights we'd spend
Alone in your room
Through my silent thoughts
I still remember

When our hearts were young
We had fire in our veins
And each time we touched
We'd melt in the flames
When our hearts were young
We knew pleasure, we knew plain
But each time we kissed
We'd burn in the flames
Feel the fire in our veins

When our hearts were young ...

I didn't see you standing there
You took me by surprise
In your long silk dress
And those deep brown eyes
I was captured by your smile
But when fate put out it's hand
You're walking to your love
How was I to resist
The passion and the kiss
We raised the future alone

She stole my body and soul
With a heart next to mine
I didn't wanna face the day
But I have no choice when we kiss

She said
Goodnight my sweet pretender
Tonight we live forever
One heart, one soul
On the edge of the world
Goodnight my sweet pretender
Feels like we died together
In each others arms


On the edge of the world

When she touched me so warm
And so was her body
A kiss she gave to me
The name she said to pain and pleasure
Time my soul rescue me
But I know I'd be here on my own
As soon as the sun would rise
I didn't wanna face the day
But I have no choice when we kiss

I've dreamed of a place I know
With the shadows of my past
Still remain
You're buried in the midst of time
For always you'll be the sun that shines
Shines on me

Goodnight, goodnight
My sweet pretender ...

Locked behind the door
Taken by force
But I'm not guilty of the crime
How can this be real
What is aganst the law
To say what's on your mind
Then I see your face
So warm as it comforts me
And tells me I am not alone
Pray for me tonight
Give me the strength of love
To help me cross the virgin snow

I will run till daybreak
My tears will fade away
They'll never take me again
No I'm never going back
'cause when I get to the golden palace
Everything will surely be so clear

Can we give ourselves
Like a mother to her child

They took a part of me
Whenever I think of it
I shiver to the bone


The scar is on my heart
When will the crimes of
Inhumanity be known
I am only one voice
I will not fade away
So many are silent
But I will never look back
'cause when I get to the golden palace
Everything will surely disappear

The snow has gone at last
I'm out of the shadows and into the sun
And then I see you smile
Angel of mercy
The fight has jus begun
I can hear them calling
Across the frozen land
The world will hear us
You know it's never too late
'cause when we get
To the golden palace
The memory will surely be so clear

I have heard the echoes in the dark
Dim and distant voices of the past
And I've seen so far into the night
And lingered in the land of no light

Far beyond the
Shrouded hours of dawn
Through the mist
Of daybreak I was borne
But the day was
Clouded still by night
Leaving me in the land of no light

Though I'd love to
Say hello to you
You might have to wait awhile
To say goodbye
For it must end as it began
And then start again

The day of darkness
Comes to every man
And lingers while he
Reaches out his hand
And he cannot know how it will end
Till he finds out if he has a friend
A friend ...

It's raining outside
But that's not unusual
But the way that I'm feeling
Is becoming usual
I guess you could say
The clouds are moving away
Away from your days
And into mine

Now it's raining inside
It's kind of a shame
And it's getting to me
A happy man
Why should you want to
Waste all my time
The world is yours
But I am mine

*Rain, rain, rain in my tears
Measuring carefully my years
Shame, shame, shame in my mind
See what you've done to my life
See what you've done to my life

I had a spider woman
And she was so good
She chained me
In her web so tight
I lost the freedom
Of release that night
So I stayed right by her

I dreamt I saw a blind man
Who was singing a song
About a guy who
Couldn't take no more
And the meaning of
The words he swore
Told me go find her

She was a spider woman
But she was good to me
Spider Woman
But she was good to me

I told her 'bout my vision
But she laughed in my face
So I told her go
And walk in the street
But by the time
She got past my feet
I lost control

Sunrise
And the new day's breakin' through
The morning
Of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No-one뭩 there to see me cry
Except the sunrise
The sunrise and you

Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-one's there to see me cry
Excep the sunrise
The sunrise and you

Sunrise
Bless my eyes
Catch my soul
Make me whole again

Sunrise, new day
Hear my song
I'm tired of fightin'
And foolin' around
But from now on
Till who knows when
My sword will be my pen
And I'll love you, love you
For all of my time

Would you like to take
This magic potion with me
On a trip to a cosmic
Playground far beyond
She understands
She's been before
It's in her hands
To find the door

Sweet Lorraine
Let the party carry on
You and I will swim the sea
Sweet Lorraine
Let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze

There is no time, no wealth
Only I surround you
The fortune of this guide
Is simply sincerity
She understands
멌os she's been before
It's in her hands
To find the door, so

We told our tales as we sat under
Morning's sleepy sky
With all the colours of
The sunrise shining in our eyes

One, then another
With a story of yesterday's life
Or of a lover who had
Gone in a moment of strife

No thought of sleep ever dwells
Upon the wise man's mind
Some task or audience
Stealing every moment of his time

Thus we have learned to live
While mortal men
Stand waiting to die
How can we do what must be done
In just one short life

And if you ask
Then you must know
If you still doubt
You should be told
It was not we
That made it so
It was by those
Who went before

And there you sit
Tomorrow's child
So full of love
So full of life
But you must rise
To meet the day
Lest you become another tale

Another tale ...
