Answer to the master Can you look to the sky? Can you live through your lie? Of the thoughts you can't trace which time can't erase To a face on the wall do you often recall What you said on the night when the new full moon was rising Answer to the master When the night time unfolds and the memories that you hold Bring a light to your eyes though you know it's disguise When the night turns to day and you turn around and say Magic mirror please tell is this heaven or hell? Answer to the master (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) See The Lights Well I came down here from Manhattan to see the lights on the mall But when I got here early this morning well I couldn't see any at all So I walked a little further and much to my surprise There was a hot cool woman in a Chevy staring into my eyes I've just got to see the lights (3) Alright She said now don't walk any further just jump into my car And we can head on down the highway but you'd better not go to far 'Cause my daddy he's big business so we've gotta be back by tonight But we can still have some fun now if we head on downtown to see the lights I've just got to see the lights (3) I've just got to see the lights (3) Well we ended up in this cafe 'bout twenty-five minutes to one See, she took me to this nightclub and the music went on and on Well we were set down to get coffee when in walked her old man No matter how we tried to explain it well we couldn't make him understand I've just got to see the lights (3) Alright ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) When The Walls Came Tumbling Down (Clark, Elliott, Smith) The first day of the first month in some distant year The day the sky froze golden, it was oh so clear Some said it was the aftermath of the radium bomb While others told of a final retribution A terrible revenge of the gods But we understood it was the grand finale Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before So all that was left was... All the women were captured and chained And national suicide was proclaimed And New America fell to the ground And all the children lay crippled and lame But all the nations came together in fear of the thought of the end No more would we fight in the streets, no courage had we to defend When the walls came tumbling down (2) Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound A blinding light the sun had died, a new moon took its place Tidal waves, and open graves the fate of the unhuman race The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend A sinner sits reciting Dylan its now that I welcome the end When the walls came tumbling down (3) Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound When the walls came tumbling down (3) Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound When the walls came tumbling down (3) Nobody made a sound Down! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Wasted (Clark, Elliott) Well I've been lying awake all night just thinking of you But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy obstructing my view I've got a bottle of pills to give me my thrills And I know that I'm leading a life that kills Wasted - I've wasted my time Wasted - I'm shooting a line Wasted - I'm stuck in a hole Wasted - I'm losing control Well I've been meaning to call, I've been wanting to phone You see I don't like the thought of leaving you here alone Well I've seen things down here that are fit for a queen I've seen things down here that should never be seen, oh no Wasted - I've wasted my money Wasted - I've wasted you honey Wasted - I'm out of my brain Wasted - I'm going insane I'm running in thin air there's nothingness everywhere I've gotta get out (2) I've gotta get out oh won't you help me get out? Well I thought I saw you just the other day But it couldn't be you 'cos you had nothing to say 'He's going away', they told all my friends Well now I'll be stuck in here til the misery ends Wasted - I've wasted my time Wasted - I'm shooting a line Wasted - I'm out of my head Wasted - I wish I was dead ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Sorrow Is A Woman (Savage, Clark, Willis, Elliott) You're always pretending to be someone who prefers to be free You think you can fool me with your lying eyes But what is this game that you play when all that your trying to say Is that your lonely, in need of a friend Oh yeah sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you Oh yeah sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do And can't you see that it's true there's someone as lonely as you Trying so hard, so hard to get through And why can't everyone see the way that it really should be Why hide your feelings and suffer the pain Oh yeah sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you Oh yeah sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do You know that sorrow is a woman You know that she'll make you feel sad You know that sorrow is a woman Oh yeah sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you Oh yeah sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Glad I'm Alive Hello and welcome my friend it's good to see you again Do you know anything new? Tell me, is this really you Hey, what's the story in LA, I haven't been there today It's time we went for a ride, come on and step right inside Too many people have waited Too many problems created Too many jitterbugs not enough jive I'm tired of sitting here waiting We should be out there creating It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive Darkness our sole destination, daylight our only intention White lightning brightens the sky can't tell we're flying so high Rest now and don't be afraid, can't you see we've got it made Just cause I'm not going far that doesn't mean that we can't reach the star Too many people have waited Too many problems created Too many jitterbugs not enough jive I'm tired of sitting here waiting We should be out there creating It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive Too many people have waited Too many problems created Too many jitterbugs not enough jive I'm tired of sitting here waiting We should be out there creating It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive Sad story that look in your eyes, break out before it's too late Now come and lay down by my side, let all the thoughts slip away Too many people have waited Too many problems created Too many jitterbugs not enough jive I'm tired of sitting here waiting We should be out there creating It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive I'm alive (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
