LYRICS
Hint
A dark-haired girl is drifting into the night
Her hopes are bound within her tangled hair
She’s sounding the signal that no one can hear
She's turning the wheel and she's stalling in fear
You had her running right up to the edge
Imagine the waves lapping over her head
Give yourself to me and entrust your soul
Oh let’s come together and each be whole
She holds out a handful of futile words
Her eyes betray that she’s frozen with fear
How did she slip into the ocean blue?
Was she seeking a life to lead away from you?
You had her running right up to the edge
Imagine the waves lapping over her head
So give yourself to me and entrust your soul
Oh let’s come together and each be whole
Give yourself to me and entrust your soul
Oh let’s come together and each be whole
Why Can’t I
Drink this cup of wine
And I’ll try to say the grace
Why does the Lord say that I’m good?
Yet treat me with mistrust
Still the lovers dance entwined
In fealty and in love
Now the wine has turned to blood
And the cup has turned to dust
Why don’t I feel the love for you?
Why won’t you seek the truth of what we shared?
Why can’t I be the one to care?
And why don’t you sense the emptiness inside ?
Wear this crown of thorns
And I’ll try to praise the lord
He said I’d learn to love again
As I spoke the last refrain
But while it sounded like the truth
It was only truth in name
Now the crown has turned to rust
And the book has turned to dust
So I’ll run into the night
Past the silver sun
I know what I should find
So I’ll leave this world behind
With this little gun
And the contents of my mind
Why don’t I feel the love for you?
Why won’t you seek the truth of what we shared?
Why can’t I be the one to care?
And why don’t you sense the emptiness inside?
Why don’t I feel the love for you?
Why won’t you seek the truth of what we shared?
Why can’t I be the one to care?
And why don’t you sense the emptiness inside?
City of Impunity
Go stand before your maker
Before the streets are lined with blood
See the girls wade down by the water
Who went and told them that they could?
You better run (run)
You better run (run)
You better run (run)
You better run (run)
Please come and visit our city
Where we’ll always give you a hand
Just so long as you look right
In the city of impunity
You don’t want to bear witness
We own the judge and the executioner
I’d advise that you mind your own business
As we hate to go for the jugular
You better run (run)
You better run (run)
You better run (run)
You better run (run)
Please come and visit our city
Where we’ll always give you a hand
Just so long as you think right
In the city of impunity
The theatre ceiling is swirling with fire
And the sweet aisle reeks with the scent of vanilla
We strive to keep them all starved of desire
On the screen there’s an angel and a killer
Please come and visit our city
Where we’ll always give you a hand
Just so long as you talk right
In the city of impunity
Please come and visit our city
Where we’ll always give you a hand
Just so long as you act right
In the city of impunity
You better run (run)
You better run (run)
You better run (run)
You better run (run)
Come Back Home
How does it feel,
Being alone without a gun in your hand?
Look at me now
Take a breath and follow me up the hill, my friend
Son please don't go
Just stay with me
This is no dream they are deceiving you
Close your eyes and you will see it too
They fly so high it makes me fear the sky
Yet someday I'll be free
Did you foresee,
Being trapped in all the darkness of the world?
We're playing a game
Assigned by all those folks upon the hill, my friend
Son come back home
And set me free
This is no dream they are deceiving you
Close your eyes and you will see it too
They fly so high it makes me fear the sky
Yet someday I'll be free
How does it feel,
Being alone without a gun in your hand? (My friend)
This is no dream they are deceiving you
Close your eyes and you will see it too
They fly so high it makes me fear the sky
Yet someday I'll be free
