REST IN PEACE Voodoo woman I'll see you in my dreams Gipsy woman Down on Lonely Street Gipsy was a friend of mine In a sacred dream Voodoo woman magic child In time you will believe Every time we say goodbye Our love will rest in peace After we make love tonight Our love shall rest in peace So say a prayer and close your eyes Come lay your body down to sleep After we make love tonight Our love shall rest in peace CHURCH OF DESIRE Woke up in a cold sweat In the middle of the night Seems like a lifetime When you're wondering who's wrong or right One confession would resurrect the truth Revenge or forgiveness for sins between me and you Now we dance with the devil down lonely Street, lonely street Looking for a window in the house of tears Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears I'm headed for a breakdown And the fever runs higher As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire In the church of desire Church of desire You never find a reason why love falls from grace Some kind of voodoo, like a spirit you can't embrace There's a voice in the mirror, and a ghost in my heart That relives the passion before we were torn apart Now we dance with the devil down lonely street, lonely street Looking for a window in the house of tears Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears I'm headed for a breakdown And the fever runs higher As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire In the church of desire Church of desire Now we dance with the devil down lonely street, lonely street Looking for a window in the house of tears Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears I'm headed for a breakdown And the fever runs higher As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire In the church of desire Church of desire STRANGER IN THIS TOWN Hey mister can you tell me What this world's about It might just help me out I used to be a dreamer But my dreams have burned You know how luck can turn Sometimes it's hard to find a friendly face Feel like a stranger to the human race It's such a lonely, lonely place I walk alone in the darkness of the city Got no place to call home I might be dyin' But you can't hear a sound 'Cause midnight rain is comin' down I'm just a stranger, a stranger in this town Everybody loves a winner Till the winners lose And then it's front page news Nobody loves a loser When you're down and out You know there ain't no doubt I'm just a victim of circumstance Please mister give me a helping hand Brother won't you understand I walk alone in the darkness of the city Got no place to call home I might be dyin' But you can't hear a sound 'Cause midnight rain is comin' down I'm just a stranger, a stranger in this town I'm just a victim of circumstance Please mister give me a helping hand Brother won't you understand I walk alone in the darkness of the city Got no place to call home I might be dyin' But you can't hear a sound 'Cause midnight rain is comin' down I'm just a stranger, a stranger in this town I mean no danger, I'm a stranger, I'm a stranger I'm a stranger in this town...

thinkin' 'bout you I'm knockin' at the door of your heart but I can't break through Father time Grant me just another day Of our love I tried to make her stay Father time Don't tell me it's too late All my life you know that I would wait Father time Now she's gone She didn't even say goodbye I guess she didn't have the heart to try She didn't even have the guts to lie Father time Only you can turn the page And close the curtain on this empty stage Only you can take my pain away My heart keeps breakin' and my body keeps aching for you It's time to hold on but there's nothin' left to hold on to Father time Grant me just another day Of our love I tried to make her stay Father time Don't tell me it's too late All my life you know that I would wait Father time Father, father can't you see I'm depending on you I'm dying at the door to your heart and I can't break through Father time Grant me just another day Of our love I tried to make her stay Father time Don't tell me it's too late All my life you know that I would wait Father time She's your child make her mine Father time THE ANSWER The lightning flashed as angels Rode fiery chargers through the clouds That answer scared me into tears And all the grownups laughed out loud Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone Now they ride their thunder through the heavens There's a world in every drop of rain Embracing oceans sweep us home again Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie They say for every living thing There's a guide up in the sky That helps you pass from world to world So you never really die Then with scythe and cloak Death comes waltzing to your side As the visions pass you ask If there was meaning to your life As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, and you shall find another life And now my life is like a storm Growing stronger every day Like the unrelenting wind That comes to blow our lives away So I live each day like I know it's my last If there is no future there must be no past Now I know the answers never meant a thing And with each instant that I breathe I feel the joy that life can bring Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
