Sleepwalking
03:56

I try to chase my dreams
but it takes so much energy
she leaves my fire burning
I feel this slip away
I wait for all of her to show up at my door
we've been through all of these fears and I can't take no more
(chorus)
Baby won't you help me to take this all the way
you're begging me to go, but your eyes say stay
I'm sick of this pretending
I must be sleepwalking again
This dream is never ending
I must be sleepwalking again
I try to hold my head up
just keep on giving all I've got
but even when there's no more
its just not good enough
the walls are closing in now
its getting hard to breath
there is no end in sight
and no escape for me
(chorus)
(Bridge):
you're in and out then your loud again
I'm trying hard but I cant pretend
that everything's alright
when I'm under the gun...
under the gun.. toni.... ght
(Chorus)

Escape
03:55

|
She's got a taste
for the finer things
but good intentions
never bought you anything
you're out of place
with your pretty face
come with me..
I can show you how to..
get away
we can make our escape
find a hide-a-way
get away from this place
you can lean on me
I can lean on you
you can be yourself
we can do the things you want to
I can show you how to..
CHORUS:
Fly away tonight
don't be afraid
OoooOOoo
I can, be your something new
can, be your something grand
so, take my hand
we can make, make..
make our escape
She's not afraid
but she's got some pain
my intention is to take this all away
it's got to change
cause I feel this way
come with me..
I can show you how to..
get away
we can make our escape
we can fly away
we can find better days
you can lean on me
I can lean on you
you can be yourself
we can do the things you want to
I can show you how to..
(Chorus)
Bridge:
you're tired baby lay your head down
you don't have to say a thing now
everything that you been through is over
I won't do you wrong.....
(Chorus)

City That Never Sleeps
04:00
|
|||
|
In a city that never sleeps
With neon lights
And cracked up streets
With smokey bars
and hotel rooms
I sit and I think of you
I spot her now from across the room
with cherry red lips and a Monroe hair-do
and at the time I wonder what she could be to me
I guess we're gonna see
and this is the thing that I'm going to teach her a lesson
she teaches me one instead, finger to my lips
she says:
CHORUS:
Life will not wait
life will take you away
so hold on to me my love
hold onto me
things we cannot change
and all our lives are strange
so hold onto me in this city
that never, never sleeps
In a city that knows my name
you can choose your poison, pleasure or pain
with buildings that reach up to touch the sky
don’t blink your eyes it will pass you by
its later now and there's much to do
the crosses her legs, puts on some perfume
she gives a look and lights up a cigarette
I bet, tonight we won’t forget
and this is the thing I always fear the most
I don’t know who I am with no self control
she screams:
(CHORUS)
I open my eyes and let the night shine in
another child laid prey to the city of sin
(CHORUS)

Motion
03:44
|

Paul:
I drift into a hazy state
one where I can find your face
it’s been years since you been here
but God don’t it feel like yesterday
and Im just a child at twenty-five
but my face still shows the lines
and you can stop me now
but you'll never stop the world
Chorus:
We cant stop the motion
we cant stop the motion
Ahh Eeee Ahh Eee Ahhh
Ahh Eeee Ahh Eee Ahhh
we cant stop the motion
(no we cant)
J-Bonanza:
Uh..
with motion it won’t be mercy
cause while you're losing I’ll be moving through eternity
follow the leader so your meter won’t be low key
I got speed, Im floating over you earthlings
and proudly.. Im on a heated pursuit
baby too suited to stand
but my plan is not to cram for my final exam
Im going slow with the motion
I could serve out the jam
How bout I roll with all your punches
till you open your hands
lets go uh..
(CHORUS)
Paul:
and it don’t matter who you are
where you're from
holding hands or holding a gun
our fate is the same in the end
in the end my friend
and I believe you can spend a lifetime
chasing the past
life is but fleeting
then what do we have
All we have is love now
All we have is love
and all we have is love now
all we have is love
(CHORUS)
(no we can't)
(no, no, NO)
no we cant

I've Been Alive
03:28
|
|||
|
Its the pain
that fuels the pleasure
its the time
that brings us together
close your eyes
and take the photograph in your mind
Feel your life
and dreams behind your mind
this is for me
this is for you
I can not change
what I cannot undo
CHORUS:
I want to know who I am be something to someone
(just a moment in time in a whirlwind try'ing to survive)
I want to do something right, in this world gone wrong
(just a moment in time trapped inside of this crime we call life)
Its the black that makes us see color
its the greed thats pulling us under
close your eyes and toss another coin away
your wish alone has power to change nothing
this is for me
this is for you
if this takes my life
I swear that I'll come through
(CHORUS)
Bridge:
and if I never make it anywhere
the whole world shots me down
I can hold my head high enough
knowing I gave it hell
and if Im down to one last friend
and they hang me out out to dry
I will go at it, all alone, against the world myself to find
(CHORUS)

Running for Cover
03:55
|
|||
|
Pushed into a shoving match
you get loud and I get mad
we say things we both regret
but I have not taken it back yet
and all the traps we saw
although we lost control
its not dead and gone
you still have my heart and soul
Chorus:
Pain rains down like a hurricane in my soul
Im running for cover but I've got no where to go
you tell me lies
you give me reasons
that won't make my life easy
its hard for me cause I don’t want another
I've got no choice but Im running, running for cover
Why do we always feel this way
and all of the things we say are so damn mean
and all of the fights end up the same
you say you’re done and I just walk away
and all the traps you saw
although we lost control
its not dead and gone
you still have my heart and soul
(chorus)
Oh Oooh
Oh Oooh
