--- instrumental ---

Rip the sheets off cold ice again
Wolf at the door
Can I stand
A dog's life here for one day more

Close my eyes imagine somewhere
So far away
Silversand
And azure Carribean Sea

Sick of solitary holidays
Cause I never get away from here

I listen to the water drip down
In to the cell
Run amok
If I survive this living hell.

Holding up this cold calaboose
C A P T I V I T Y
Even takes
My lucid thoughts away from me

TIME TO KILL
going nowhere
KILLING TIME
staying where there's......

Midnight Mass a yellow moon
Wonder walked from my window
Now she sings a different tune
Golden tunes, out of the blue

Now the sky is clearing
Looking through her crystal eyes
Waiting Windows loom before hre
Cutting her back down to size

The thing she's searching for is
The only thing she needs

Gazing in simplycity
toward ambitions that she craves
The best thing since Arithmetic
MBB's and current raves

Now the sky is clearing
Looking through her crystal eyes
Waiting Widows loom before her
Cutting her back down to size

The thing she's searching for is
The only thing she needs

Stop........

been wrong so many times before
was always laying down the law
and all attractions ware a bore
they led me back to you

Uniforms were an allergy
they never felt quite right to me
they conjured wartime Germany
ang God knows we need that

Temptation boundaries does vener know
the time when my morale was low
the circumstances always show
the place was yours or mine

Carrying no cross before me
with no prze no to idolize no story
to hell of adolescent glory

Just void... empty spaces nothing to show
no point of reference to place to go
but one thing I'd ignored and so
the light came shining through

INSTRUMENTAL

I've been wrong so many times before
was always laying down the law
one thing you cannot ignore
bad boys can come clean

Emotions I could not control

Illuminate my heart and soul
I saw a light, I scored a goal
and what price peace of mind?

Chasing rainbows for a lifetime
 then left you girl                   {left to go}
Like shadows from the sun,
Run into traces
Of faces you thought you saw
But never seemed to mean much more    {But never seemed to me much more}
 than echoes of a day gone by         {echoes of a day gone by}
When someone else would have to try
To light the stars
......In your sky.
     [Your dark sky]

All the things you planned
Just sand castles washed away
On tidal waves of tears,
 fears overpowering
Your complex dreams just slither down
 drowning in rocky pools,
Or smashed and dashed
On peril's course, divorcing prematurely
 thoughts                             {On peril's course, forcing prematurely}
Of lasting love
......In your life.

Sometime when you've time to spare    {Sometime we need time to spare}
Feeling of missed opportunity
Spare a tear and douse your bridge...
 burning
30 years and on the ledge....
 learning

All the things you planned
            [baby]
30 years in bed.

Are you one of mine
 who can sleep with one eye open wide?
Agonizing psychotic
 solitary hours to decide
Reaching for the light
 at the slightest noise from the floor
Palms of hands perspire                {Now your hands perspire}
 heart goes leaping at a knock from the door.
In the Dead of Night
In the Dead of Night
Rich and powerful ascend
 complicated bends to be free
To indulge in what they will           {Indulge in what they will}
 and jaded thrill or fanstasy
Shuttered windows that belie
 all stifled cries from within         {All the stifled cries from within}
And prying eyes are blind
 to proceedings of the kind that begin
In the Dead of Night
In the Dead of Night

Creamed-up kitten screaming for her next injection
Dead dog in the driveway - protein intection
The most exclusive restaurants have a few uninvited divers
Don't worry if you're under age - they've special schemes for minors

Caesar's Palace blues

You lost your shirt on your last hand, you nearly sold your shoes
You came up tumps last weekend so you've got to pay your dues
Cards fall, faces change, Cat's cunning shows
Same rules still apply, either way you lose

Caesar's Palace blues

Lovers on the carpet, Cupid's dream for certain
But there's always someone hiding right behind the hotel curtain
They've cameras in the casino and bugs under your bed
But all the gold in Reno couldn't bring old Caesar back from dead.
