Stereotomy
Diamond eyes That burn me and turn me to stone Crystalise And freeze me in clear monochrome Turn me to stone; do anything you want with me Turn me to stone; do anything you want Stereotomy We can make it together Do anything you want with me Do anything you want Scarlet minds Possess me and I feel no shame Silent knives Dissect me and I feel no pain Stereotomy We can make it together Do anything you want with me Do anything you want Stereotomy We can make it forever Do anything you want with me Do anything you want Starlight beams Project me in red blue and green Velvet dreams Protect me when I hit the screen Stereotomy We can make it together Do anything you want with me, do anything you want Stereotomy We can make it forever It's always the same, it's always the same Stereotomy, we can make it We can make it, do anything you want Turn me to stone Do anything you want with me Cover my eyes There's nothing more they need to see Turn me to stone Before there's nothing left of me Make me a rock And not what I appear to be Turn me to stone Turn me to stone
Beaujolais
No clock beside my bed Don't try to wake me No phone upon my wall Who's going to call No knock upon my door No news to shake me Nights like the one before I can't take no more Beaujolais goes straight to my head Beaujolais puts me to shame And I don't know why I'm in this place or how I came Beaujolais and I go crazy Beaujolais I can't explain But it helps me to forget the past and ease the pain One race that I can't win With an alter ego One chance to sink or swim What am I to do One tail that I can't shake Wherever I go he go One circuit I can't break It's a catch twenty two Beaujolais goes straight to my head Beaujolais' the one to blame And I don't know why I'm in this place or how I came Beaujolais will be my ruin Beaujolais I can't complain Cause it helps me to forget the past and ease the pain
Limelight
I can see the glow of a distant sun I can feel it inside Maybe this day could be the one I can hear the roar of a distant crowd They are waiting for me Calling my name Shouting out loud Holding on isn't always easy I ain't gonna change my mind Limelight you were all I ever wanted Since it all began Limelight shining on me Telling the world who I am Limelight don't let me slip right through your fingers There's a long way to fall After the years of waiting I'm gonna show them all I can see the world in a different light Now it's easy to say Where I went wrong What I did right I can hear the beat of a different drum Take it all in my stride Hold my head high Second to none Holding on wasn't always easy Nothing can change my mind Limelight you were all I ever wanted since it all began Limelight shining on me telling the world who I am Limelight don't let it slip right through your fingers There's a long way to fall After all the years of waiting, I'm gonna show them all Maybe the role's not easy, maybe the prize is small After all the years of waiting, I'm gonna show them all
In the Real World
One more compromise I won't be making One more easy way out I won't be taking So many chances don't come twice So many eyes are made of ice One more cheating hand I won't be shaking One more substitute I won't be trying One more piece of the rock that I'm not buying So many times we stand and fight So many reasons can't be right One more simple truth I'm not denying Too many lonely hearts in the real world Too many lonely nights in the real world Too many fools who don't think twice Too many ways to pay the price Don't wanna live my life in the real world One more sacrifice I won't be making One more golden rule I won't be breaking No one to let me state my case No one to tell me to my face One more sweet surprise I won't be faking Too many lonely hearts in the real world Too many lonely nights in the real world Too many bridges you can burn Too many tables you can't turn Don't wanna live my life in the real world Too many lonely hearts in the real world Too many lonely nights in the real world Too many games that I can't play Too many windmills in my way Don't wanna live my life in the real world
Light of the World
I am just a stranger, in a promised land I am only learning a game with the rules I don't understand Going round in circles, I've been round before I am lost in so many ways I can walk no more I can walk no more I am just a drifter, in an open sea But no matter how much I try, the tide will not turn for me Going round in circles, till I reach the shore I am blown by so many winds I can take no more I can take no more Light of the world, I stand alone, Cause I could not see the light of the world Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye I am just a dreamer, when I close my eyes I can fly so close to the sun, that I cannot see it rise Going round in circles, in a silent sky I am lost for so many words I cannot say why I cannot say why Light of the world, I stand alone, Cause I could not see the light of the world Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye Just a traveller, on an endless flight But no matter which way I turn, I journey into the night Going round in circles, till the mountains fall To believe in so many truths Makes no sense at all Makes no sense at all Light of the world, I stand alone, Cause I could not see the light of the world I was afraid, 'cause I could not see the light of the world Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye
Stereotomy Two
Diamond eyes That burn me and turn me to stone Crystalise And freeze me in clear monochrome Turn me to stone; do anything you want with me Turn me to stone; do anything you want Stereotomy We can make it together Do anything you want with me Do anything you want Scarlet minds Possess me and I fee no shame Silent knives Dissect me and I feel no pain Stereotomy We can make it together Do anything you want with me Do anything you want Stereotomy We can make it forever Do anything you want with me Do anything you want Starlight beams Project me in red blue and green Velvet dreams Protect me when I hit the screen Stereotomy We can make it together Do anything you want with me, do anything you want Stereotomy We can make it forever It's always the same, it's always the same Stereotomy, we can make it We can make it, do anything you want Turn me to stone Do anything you want with me Cover my eyes There's nothing more they need to see Turn me to stone Before there's nothing left of me Make me a rock And not what I appear to be Turn me to stone Turn me to stone
