Weaving down a byroad
sing The Song
That's my kind of Highroad
Gone Wrong
MY-MY
smile at least
you can't say no to
The Beauty and the Beast

Something in the Night
Something in the Day
nothing is wrong
but darling

Something's in the way
there's Slaughter in the Air
Protest on the Wind
someone else inside me
someone could get skinned
how?
MY-MY
someone fetch a priest
you can't say no to
The Beauty and the Beast
darling

i wanted to believe me
i wanted to be good
i wanted no distractions
like every good boy should

Nothing will Corrupt us
Nothing will Compete
thank God Heaven left us
Standing on our feet
MY-MY
The Beauty and the Beast

I,
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing will
Drive them away
We can beat them
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
Just for one day

And you
You can be mean
And I
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers
and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers
And that is that

Though nothing
Will keep us together
We could steal time
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
for ever and ever
What d'you say
I,
I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Though nothing will keep us together
We can beat them
for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes
Just for one day
I,
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be us
Just for one day
I,
I remember
Standing
By the wall
The guns
Shot about our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
Oh we can beat them
For ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes
Just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing
And nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying
Then you better not stay
But we could be safer
Just for one day

The Sons of the Silent Age
stand on platforms blank looks and no
books
sit in back rows of city limits
lay in bed coming and going on easy terms
pacing their rooms like a cell's dimensions
rise for a year or two then make war
search through their one inch thoughts
then decide it couldn't be done
Baby, i'll never let you go
All I see is all know
Let's find another way down

Baby i'll never let you down
I can't stand another sound
Let's find another way in

The Sons of the Silent Age
listen to tracks by Sam Therapy and King
Dice
Sons of the silent age
pick up in bars but cry only once
make love only once but dream and dream
don't walk just glide in and out of life
they never die just go to sleep one day

You
you walk on past
your lips cut a smile on your face
your scalding face
to the cage
she was a beauty in a cage
too
too high a price
to drink rotting wine
from your hands
your fearful hands
get me to a doctor's
i've been told someone's
back in town
the chips are down
i just cut and blackout
i'm under japanese influence
and my honour's at stake
the weather's grim
ice on the cages
me i'm robin hood
and i puff on my cigarette
panthers are
steaming
stalking
screaming

if you don't stay tonight
i will take that plane tonight
i've nothing to lose
nothing to gain
i'll kiss you in the rain
kiss you in the rain
kiss you in the rain
in the rain
get me to the doctor

get me off the streets
get me on my feet
hot air gets me into a blackout
get me off the streets
get some protection
oh get me on my feet
while the streets block off
getting some skin exposure
to the blackout
get me on my feet

The Secret Life of Arabia
secret secret never seen
secret secret never seen

i was running at the speed of life
through morning's thoughts and fantasies
then I saw your eyes at the cross fades
secret secret never seen
secret secret ever green

The Secret Life of Arabia
never here never seen
secret life ever green
The secret life of Arabia

you must see the movie the sand in my
eyes
i walk through a desert song
when the heroine dies
