Fake Nudes 03:07
Who's that coming around again? See right through you - no - you can't pretend Eyes of fire and they got you burnin' No don't let it end All alone and I see you I send you all my old fake nudes All you do it got me good I just need a chance to see it through Don't you go and say goodnight Ooo I need to try and make it right My fake nudes Give it till the middle of the night One more hour - yeah - you know it's right Keep on comin' know they got you yearnin' Ooo let the games begin All alone and I see you I send you all my old fake nudes All you do it got me good I just need a chance to see it through Don't you go and say goodnight Make it right Is it true? My fake nudes All alone and I see you Send me all of your old fake nudes All you do it got me good I just need a chance to see it through Is it true? What can I do? I can't ever seem to get to you Don't you go and say goodnight Ohh I need to try to make it right My fake nudes

Waves 03:16
Every thing is open and clear The vision seems so real Like a light she's calling me near Her disembodied squeal I hear you beckon me From a long lost, long ago Feel your lips upon my own, say Let me take you back I want to take you back Let me take you back… Ooo won't you please stop haunting me? Round every corner and all that I can see Foreboding memories like waves are crashing through Little Miss Mystery your star sign sure suits you The stars twirl above As we fall deeper in love My world comes tumbling down Fade to black, face to the ground Ooo won't you please stop haunting me? Round every corner and you're all that I can see If I could go back to the time you were my wife Girl, but I'm not ready yet to join the afterlife Foreboding memories like waves are crashing through Little Miss Mystery your star sign sure suits you

Oh no it's coming again Shadow, it never will end I'd hate to make it so hard Should I leave it to the fall of the cards? No, no, no, no Wide eyed, lost in my brain Room spin, dissociate Someone is angry I bet Don't leave me waiting here so long I can't convince myself that you could be wrong Please don't be long You know that I was so wrong Something is hot on the trail Come now, don't be frightened my dear I don't know, how I got here I can't really tell how I feel Ooo no, how I'm feeling so stale Excuse me, but I must get some air And I'm stuck in a love triangle I don't know what to do Deluded by lethal attraction Lost within the divide Carol of the wretched lovers Broken homes and wedding crashers Tangled up in webs of madness Ambivalently, I decide

Afterglow 03:08
Ooo ain't it funny how the time just slips away? Getting faster all of the time - oh everyday Sun shine so bright - I am blinded by your rays See you coming up - you take my breath away Ooo now Give me all your lovin' babe Cool off my mind get me melting just the same You got me in the afterglow Shine away I want to take you in my arms and let us fade away. Into one mind, we will never be the same. Eyes the size of saucers and two minds that are blown Lost in a haze and oh You got me in the afterglow Shine away Ooo you got me feelin' good Ooo when I push in the wood Ooo don't you feel it as the time just slips away Making my mind up to never let us wind up alone You got me in the afterglow Shine - my love Shine away

So like…were you even real? Was it all a dream? A figment of my twisted imagination? I remember the first time I saw you You looked at me Eyes glazed Smile beaming Blink of an eye you're here with me Crying laughing, endlessly I turned around just in time to see I guess this is how it was meant to be You run, disappear, gone into the night I said what I said, you left me for dead The times you spent holding me in your arms and I'd sleep so sweetly Drift off, hopelessly Afraid to see I was slowly feeling more and more alone I was losing control How does it feel to be on your own? How does it feel in a life of unknown? How do you live with yourself all alone? How does it feel to be losing control? Sunburnt and I don't mean red Rather be dead than left on read Mind replaying all the things we said I guess I'll keep it to myself Before I knew what had come over me The lies were pulled apart at the seam How does it feel to be losing control? How does it feel in a life of unknown? How do you live with yourself all alone? How does it feel to be on your own? And now I can't help feeling tragic So close, we nearly had it Why do you wanna leave me here Living so deep in fear? I just wanna see you heal Tell me baby, how does it feel? How does it feel to be on your own? How does it feel in a life of unknown? How do you live with yourself all alone? How does it feel to be losing control?

Winter 04:11
Trying to sleep - kept awake by wind that blows With no escape from the bitter winter cold I hear you calling me in Into your arms where it begins I feel the warmth of your embrace The look of longing that rests upon your face Your eyes of fire - they soothe my soul Brighten the darkness of the night when I'm alone Hoping tonight our love will grow How deep this love runs only you know Why do I find it so hard to believe? What will it take for me to see? Softly spoken words do linger now You are the song I want to sing but don't know how Searching for words that I can't find As deep as snow that leaves me blind You are my winter - you are my spring The summer that will always make me sing Of how I'm feeling deep inside Breaking my heart out of the ice Dream of the warmth of your embrace Lost in the smile that rests upon your face Somebody tell me how do I find? Words as bold as those that leave me high You are my winter - you are my spring The summer that will always make me sing Of how I'm feeling deep inside Breaking my heart out of the ice Am I your winter oh am I your Spring? I'd melt with you babe over anything

Baby ease your mind Y'know it takes a little time Find the one you love and just let yourself unwind She says she knows With sunflower pedals Melting on her tongue Won't you bring it down? Round right to the ground What a perfect time To feel that flower drop She says she knows How time does flow The mystery of illusion Just waiting there for you to find Don't wait for me Don't wait on anyone at all Time moves slowly now Starry eyes upon me now Strange things above the skies Not as strange as those in your eyes She says she knows With sunflower pedals Melting on her tongue How time does flow But where it stops where oh where could it go? The mystery of illusion Just waiting there for you to find Don't wait for me Don't wait on anything Not for seasons to change Don't wait on anyone at all Don't wait for me Don't wait on anyone at all

You shrug it off Falling to pieces Smirk and you scoff It never ceases Here you are lost in delusion Mastered the art of confusion You fake a smile and forge your laughter Wasting your life Human disaster? No, you're searching for an answer Give your lies laced with cancer Do you long to be somewhere? Ooo you just want to disappear Whoever gave you the right To pick a fight, all out of spite, Scream into the night and here you are We raise our glasses Our superstar The fallen master See him comin' up with gusto Thrilla gorilla - he lurkin' in the shadow Here he come
