Lay down your guns I come in peace
No need to run my friend into the trees
We've been through this so much before
But still we get it wrong
Lay down your guns and feel no regret
Life is too short my friend, best we forget
No matter how we rise and fall
And how our love is torn
We'll stand up high above the storm.

And still our passion calls
And the juices fall like rain from the sky
We have to understand we're the flame
That feeds our desire
God knows we must survive

Lay down your guns and hold on tight
We'll prove the world is wrong and get it rigt
No need for you to worry now the best is yet to come
Lay down your guns and stand up strong

And though the cut is deep
We can heal it, trust me and keep
Your spirits high
It should be easy now that we've talked it over
And God knows we have to try

Lay down your guns just don't say goodnight
We'll prove the world is wrong, and get it right
And even in your darkest dreams
Some things you can't forsee
Lay down your love, lay it all on me

Jungles where the tigers sleep
The neon glares
And talk is cheap
Stairways that lead to dreams
You turn around
A siren screams

Energy glows in the heart of the city
You stand in the shadows or reach for the sky
This time the promise is not just illusion
I'm heading for glory, I'm learning to fly

Out there you feel the heat
It's face to face, I cross the street
Help me I've done a fare
I need a ride
So take me there

Everything's moving out of the city
They murder with kisses and then wonder why
Everyone's looking out over their shoulder
We've all gotta jump so I'm learning to fly

I see a figure there, look back at me
I stand and stare
Searching for sanity
To break the force of gravity

Learning to fly
Learning to fly
Learning to fly

Lend your love to me tonight
Don't ask me who or what is right
I have no strenght I cannot fight
Just flood my darkness with your light
I need no face I need no name
No martyr's artificial shame
No crucifix I am not lame
And yet I ache to feel the flame
Arrest the sun and shoot the moon
The lamp of laughter dies too soon
To live reflected in a spoon
Makes it too hard to stay in tune
Believe me

Unlock the door and unbar the gate
I'll write I love you on the slate
And while St. Peter's thieves debate
The price of time I will not wait
Or let the star blind road of fate
Confuse me
Abuse me
Misuse me

Release my soul release my eyes
A clock unwinds a flower dies
Dishonesty disqualifies
You win the race but lose the prize
A tattered cloak behind the throne
It is unseen it is not known
Behind this face I am alone
I would give everything I own
To touch you...

Just lend your love to me once more
Don't ask me what I came back for
Just watch the moonlight cross the floor
And as your blood begins to roar
You'll feel your senses spin and soar
You will become my meteor
Divine and universal whore
Complete me

Will you stand up or will you freeze
That savage woman make you please
Turn your inside outside in
Still you don't know where she has been
Living sin

Can't you see through
She's going to realize the way to sound you

Finely ground you

Sudden
Never cured by a one night lover
Sell you
Stories of a meeting with a younger brother
Twisty
All the people lyin' were just a blind cover
No one
Ever gonna pry her from a two-faced mother

Can't you see through
She's going to realize the way to sound you

If you never saw it coming
Hooked you up with Coca-Cola coming
Nice and slippery

I'm a love blind, where are you taking me this time
Can't you see that I'm love blind
Where are you taking me now
Ooh-I'm a love blind, how far are you taking me this time
Can't you see that I'm love blind

You wanna take it all but you get nothing in the end
Don't ever underestimate the price of love you lend
It'll cost you so much pain, it can drive you round the bend
If you calculate the damage, the fractures never mend
When you're love blind, love blind

I'm a love blind, where are you taking me this time
Can't you see I'm in rewind
Where are you taking me now

I'm a love blind, where are you taking me, this time
Just can't believe, that I'm love blind
Where are you taking me now
Ooh-I'm a love blind, how far are you taking me, this time
Why can't you see, that I'm love blind

You think you got it made but you've got it all to learn
You just can't seem to realize you own the love you earn
You wanna take it all give back nothin' in return
You sre beyond reflection, you see the edges burn
Til you're love blind, love blind

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Oooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
