High Civilization Lyrics

High Civilization
Cryin' in the streets
They run for their lives
How can you lead them to heaven
They don't realize
Children of the night
How far can we fall
That which we say is forever
Ain't no time at all

Father and the son
Not too young to be old
Reach out for each other when
The world goes cold
Feel so good to be home
Are you ready for

(CHORUS)
My high civilization
Are you ready for
My high civilization
Are you ready for
My high civilization
Civilization

Everything for us to see
The ultimate society

Keeper of the sword
You fight for your rights
How can you live for the hour
When there's no yesterday
Dyin' in the streets
Your number your name
All that which keeps us together
Is bringing us the pain

Thunder of the guns
Comes the criminal mind
Working for the power of
The evil eye
We are never alone
Uncivilized

(CHORUS)

New York, Paris, Tokyo
Vienna to Berlin
Baby don't know you
L.A., Rome, Afghanistan
Cairo to Iran
No city can hold you
There's no one in Avalon to show you
Minutes into seconds are you ready
For the end

(CHORUS)
(FADE)

Secret Love
When do I cry
This breakin' heart
Just hurts me more
When we're apart
And there are two of us
With our secret love

Sleep pretty baby while you wait so long
Livin' with a love that's not just make believe
Lonely nights, I see your candle glow
And in my mind, I trace
Together we can take away
The time and the space

(CHORUS)
Baby when you got a secret love
Every little touch is not enough
Every little moment we're apart is pain to me
Maybe we can find some hideaway
Everybody knows but who can say
Secretly you know I'd follow
Anywhere to make you happy

Anyway you want me I'll be standing by
I don't wanna lose the one I hunger for
Naked eyes, they watch us everywhere
Nowhere to run, I cry
Everything to lose and no alibi

(CHORUS)
Baby when you got a secret love
Nothin' you can do but rise above
Secretly you know I'd follow
Anywhere to make you happy

When do I cry
This breakin' heart
Just hurts me more
When we're apart
And there are two of us
With our secret love (together we can take away the time and the space)

REPEAT CHORUS (FADE)

When He's Gone
Stormy nights, I've been waiting
Satisfy you, oh yeah
But his love is just a game
And he's sellng you the same old lies

And I'm hangin' on the wire
And no closer to the fire
And you don't hear me when I cry

(CHORUS)
You may need someone to lean upon
When he's gone, when he's gone
And what is left is a love so strong
When he's gone, when he's gone
You wouldn't believe to what extent
My mind is going to
You wouldn't deny me in your dreams
You couldn't belong to someone else
If you could see me now
And I'd be the only one
When he's gone

My understanding that you remember
For whom the bell tolls, oh yeah
I swear to you I pray
That you feel the battle rage
For the saving of my soul

And it's a struggle to survive
You know it's keepin' us alive
And baby I don't wanna die

(CHORUS)
I will be someone you lean upon
When he's gone, when he's gone
And what is left is a love so strong
When he's gone, when he's gone
You wouldn't believe to what extent
My mind is going to
You wouldn't deny me in your dreams
You couldn't belong to someone else
If you could see me now
And I'd be the only one
When he's gone

I will be someone you lean upon
When he's gone, when he's gone
And what is left is a love so strong
When he's gone, when he's gone
I will be someone you lean upon
When he's gone, when he's gone

Don't tell me it's too late
And your love don't make me wait
I can see the end of time
With a love that makes you mine
And tonight I let you know
There's a love that won't let go

Happy Ever After
Though I know it's time to take you home
Baby you and I are all alone
We should take a moment of our own
And look what we've got
You could destroy this heart of mine
I'm only trying to get by
Hiding in the shadows of the night
Holding you and knowing the wrong is right

Show me some mercy
You know what you're doin' is making me
A happy man
I shield you from the rain
I've been slow to get you but
I'm working
As hard as I can

(CHORUS)
This time, it's what we believe is true
And whether you believe I'm in love with you
I gotta be sure that you say what you mean
Is it only a dream to a teenage queen
And all the years of tears and laughter
We could go through
Will it be happy ever after
For me and you

Heaven is a place inside of me
Livin' with your heart as company
Only you can change the way I feel
And make it feel good
Where there is love there is no crime
I'm only tryin' to get mine
Let me be the one to dry your eyes
We can be the promise that never dies

Light of an angel
Blinded by the vision
I'm wishin' we could travel on
Stay with me baby
Any less than an hour
You be leavin' me lonely too long

(CHORUS)

(CHORUS)
This time, it's what we believe is true
And whether you believe I'm in love with you
I gotta be sure that you say what you mean
Is it only a dream to a teenage queen
And you define the dream you're after
Make it come true
Will it be happy ever after
Will it be happy ever after
For me and you

Party With No Name
Let's get started
Move in for the kill
So sincere
I'm here to bend your will
A man without a face
I give you love you've never known
We can hold each other, sight unseen
Touchin' on our darkest dream
You can wish for something bad
Lovers' lips you never had

All she wants is your love
All she wants is your love

(CHORUS)
We're the party with no name
And we go from flame to flame
We've got one claim to fame
We're the party with no name
Make those footsteps to the floor
You can't see us anymore
Ain't no time for the shame
For the party with no name

Easy money
Get yourself a job
It's my invitation
Been alone too long
A soul without a space
A party with no mane
Truth is there, but she don't see
Her life is just a mystery
I'd give her more than I could give
I'd even die that she could live

All she wants is your love
All she wants is your love

(CHORUS)
We're the party with no name
And we go from flame to flame
We've got one claim to fame
We're the party with no name

All she wants is your love
All she wants is your love

REPEAT CHORUS (FADE)

Ghost Train
Take me to your world of wonder
Let me come inside your room
Invisible
Now you see nothin'
Some investigation as to the state of us
No misunderstanding girl
On either side

I couldn't lie if I try any other way
I can't stop thinking of that girl of mine
I'm for the rise and the fall
Any other way and

(CHORUS)
Ohh
Ride on my ghost train
Ohh
You shouldn't do it, you shouldn't do it
Ohh
Ride on my ghost train
Ohh
Who can stop your past from rushing by
Born to live one million stories high
Into the night
Into the day

Take me to a town or country
Stranger in a strange land
And I'm an alien
No you can't find me
You be there at the station
When the train arrives
When it leaves I get my hands on you

I fool myself if I turn any other way
I still keep searchin' for that girl of mine
I'm for the hell of it all

Do it anyway and

(CHORUS)
Ohh
Ride on my ghost train
Ohh
Hearts can break and hearts can
Turn the tide
All is love and love is open wide
Ghost train
Ghost train
Into the night
Into the day

Dimensions
Hindsight, don't make it right
She give me trouble enough
And she's a ball of light
I'm in the tunnel of love
With the American dream
And I was born too soon
A little good luck, never stuck
She got me climbing the walls
Got me hard as a rock
Within a city of sin, she got a city block
And she was barkin' at the moon

She likes to show
So many sides to her
And I'd be the one to know

(CHORUS)
When am I gonna go to your dimension
When am I gonna go to where you are
When am I gonna go to your dimension
Dimensions of each other keep us goin' strong

Black knight, take a bite
She can double it up
And she's a way of life
And whether dead or alive
She got a fix on me
And I was dancin' in the fire
White steam, never seen
In every muscle and bone
She was a love machine
And she could wrestle me down
And get a taste of me
In her web of desire

She changed my world
How can the body know
It's touchin' me or her

(CHORUS)

The Only Love
I can relate
The story of my life
No brighter hope
No stronger emotion
I believed I could die over you
How you could ever
Break down and never see me through
Through my darkest night

And as I lie awake
One prayer within me burning
And there's no price on what you hold
Till it's gone
And it keeps moving on

(CHORUS)
Where is my heart
You know I will be waiting to be
A part of you
You'll never feel the pain
How can you say to me
That I should go on living
I left the only life I had with you
The only love
No use in me pretending to be
A part of you
And you the heart of me
How can you say to me
That I should go on living
I left the only life I had with you

So we agree
To let each other go
No long goodbye
Just your way and my way
And I can stand how you cried to be free
High as the wind blows
But not enough to bring you home to me
And only lonely knows

You see my open arms
You know my flame is burning
But I'm too blind to see the end has begun
And it keeps movin' on

(CHORUS)
The only love
No use in me pretending to be
A part of you
And you the heart of me
How can you say to me
That I should go on living
I left the only life I had with you

The only love
One love that will not die
I may sorry that I built my
World around you
The only love
Is only you and I
There will be others who would
Leave you as I found you

(REPEAT)

Human Sacrifice
I see she
Knowing what I came here for
Get a little of your womanifestation
If I can pinpoint this feeling
When you gonna let it grow
We can draw the line on where we
Let the fingers go

Now I know me
Never wanna lose control
Making me the subject
Of your warm initiation
If I can pinpoint this feeling
When you gonna let it show
You make me nervous but it's now or never

Oh Oh
You can be my message from above
And it's time to say you're sorry
We can sanctify our love
Oh no
And you and I we're written in the wind
You can't just go movin' out
You can't leave me when I'm movin' in
I want to be your human sacrifice
I want to be your lover
I want to be your human sacrifice
I want to be your lover

It's you or me
Gotta be a kill or cure
Maybe undergo a lover's operation
Nothing cuts like a knife can
You don't wanna hurt me more
Look at all that damage
We could do together

Oh no
You can wear me closer to the bone
It don't work to make me worry
But the demon seed is sown

Oh no
And you and I we're written in the sky
You can't make me hold on
Better you shoot my love between the eyes

Your eyes on me on this table where I lie
And what I see as fact is fiction
You won't let me die
And I'm bound to be abused
I won't let you cut me loose
This love is out to get you
When the blood begins to flow

True Confessions
I'm not the one in search of friction
I'm not the one to look for fights
When it gets down to me and you
I think it over twice
We sing the same song
With it all subject to change
There is another place in time, girl
You and I will meet again

I saw the signs I never knew
Didn't have enough on you to follow through
Call it innocent or guilty
Inside you, it's still me

(CHORUS)
Oooh, whose word you gonna take
Whose heart you gonna break
Not mine
If I believe your true confessions
I'm never gonna make it
You know you hurt me for the very last time
I need you darlin', and it tears me apart
And if someone comes between us
It's the death of my heart

I think about you and I paint a picture
You wanna love above the law
And you got a taste for adventure
It's what you're livin' for
We say the same lies
Anyone to crucify
We're the victims of the same sensations
I can be as bad as you

I step aside, you can understand
I won't stand in the way but I will if I can
Not to be your judge and jury
It's still you inside me

(CHORUS)

My gun is loaded and I'm ready for war
I come and get you and I kick down the door
There's no way, I can't let you leave
I'm not working for the enemy

(CHORUS/FADE)

EVOLUTION
There's a law in what we do
We got a quest for something new
Everything you witness seems to
Let you down
If someone gets you from behind
I got an open mind
And you've been thirsty for the friend you found

Close your eyes and make a wish
I don't wanna mess with mother nature
Knowing that you're mine
You said I could see
You with another and we all get satisfied

(CHORUS)
It's a form of evolution
It's a kind of movin' on
An eternal source of pleasure
In being the one
When your love is for the giving
It's a case of destiny
You know we look for the same insane games
Got to be commital to be a little deviation

So I get all wound up inside
I can see your scene unwind
You dance together or you dance alone
And leave the real world in the air
Love it in leather I don't care
Everything is legal in the danger zone

Close your eyes and make a wish
Later we could cater to the animal
Knowing that you're mine
It's straight in my face
You and your lover and the brain is paralyzed

(CHORUS)
It's a form of evolution
It's a kind of movin' on
It's a cycle of emotion
In being the one
In the storm of revolution
What is done can be undone
You know we look for the same insane games
Got to be commital
To the subtle variations

(CHORUS)
It's a form of evolution
It's a kind of movin' on
It's a cycle of emotion
In being the one
If your love is for the givin'
It's a case of destiny
And you can find your source of pleasure
In being with me

(CHORUS)
