DEMOLITION MAN
(Collen/Campbell/Elliott)

Let me loose I just got back
I was pushed and I got dragged
I tasted mud, I tasted wine
I kissed the life I left behind
So say I choose to stick around
Well I got news for this here town
I kick the ball, I catch the bus
And raise the roof for all of us

Destination anywhere
So far gone, I'm almost there
Can't you see I can't deny
I'm outta here like I'm on fire

Living like a caged-up animal, criminal
Television newsman so subliminal
Bringing down the walls of wonderland
Just another highbrow cowboy telling me
Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be
Here I am, your demolition man

Steal your car and leave a wreck
I kiss your bride, cash your check
I'm Tyson plus I'm ripped and torn
Been on the edge since I was born
I kick the jukebox and change the tune
I break the bank, jump the moon
I sink the fleet to catch a buzz
And raise a glass for all of us

Destination anywhere
So far gone, I'm almost there
Can't you see I can't deny
I'm outta here like I'm on fire

Living like a caged-up animal, criminal
Television newsman so subliminal
Bringing down the walls of wonderland
Just another highbrow cowboy telling me
Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be
Here I am, your demolition man

I'm a beast in space
I'm an acid taste
I'm a primitive god stuffed in your face
It's enough to bring you to your knees

Living like a caged-up animal, criminal
Television newsman so subliminal
Bringing down the walls of wonderland
Just another highbrow cowboy telling me
Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be
Here I am, your demolition man
Living like a caged-up animal, criminal
Television newsman so subliminal
Bringing down the walls of wonderland
Just another highbrow cowboy telling me
Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be
Here I am, your demolition man

BACK IN YOUR FACE
(Elliott/Collen)

Hey! Hey! Hey!

I'm back in your face
Like I've never been away
I'm back in your face
And it's where I'm gonna stay
Like a runaway mack
Like a union jack
I'm back

Hey! Hey!

I can stand tall, I can stick out a mile
I can come crawling out like a hungry reptile

I'm comin' around, I'm wired for sound
Shakin' it for all it's worth
I'm a spaced-out alien, a techno-sapien
Crashin' on down to earth

I'm back in your face
Like I've never been away
I'm back in your face
And it's where I'm gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
I'm back

Hey! Hey!

I can pour your drink, be the perfect host
I can scare the pants off the holiest ghost (chuckle)

I'm comin' around, I'm wired for sound
Shakin' it for all it's worth
I'm a spaced-out alien, a techno-sapien
Crashin' on down to earth

I'm back in your face
Like I've never been away
I'm back in your face
And it's where I'm gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
I'm back

Back in the middle, back in the ring
Backin' the winner, it's a sure shot thing
Back in your good books, I did you no wrong
Here I am honey
I'm back where I belong, belong, belong, belong, belong, belong . . .

Hey! Hey!

I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yeah I'm back
You better believe that I'm back
Now lemme tell you I'm back
Can't you see that I'm back
Come on and do it, I'm back
There's nothing to it, I'm back
Ohhhhhh

I'm back in your face
Like I've never been away
I'm back in your face
And it's where I'm gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
I'm back in your face
And don't it feel so good
I'm back in your face
Just like I knew that it would
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
A sheer heart attack and a jumpin' jack flash
Like a leader of the pack
And as a matter of fact I'm . . . back

GOODBYE
(Savage)

I've been waiting, going crazy
I can't sleep when I know you're not around
I've been saving what you're craving
Look at my face I'm about to replace
Every hurt, every tear that you cried

'Cause when you feel this strong
And you can't go on
There's nothing wrong, just try to realize

You won't ever have to say goodbye
You won't ever have to say
"I've wasted all my time"
If the dream you dream ain't what it seems
Just look into my eyes
You won't ever have to say goodbye

I'm just praying ya hear me saying
I'd be there if the sun refused to shine
As the night gets colder I will be your shoulder
I give you my heart until death us do part
Every day every moment forever

'Cause when the love is strong
The feeling's never gone
There's nothing wrong in trying to realize

You won't ever have to say goodbye
You won't ever have to say
"I've wasted all my time"
If the dream you dream ain't what it seems
Just look into my eyes
You won't ever have to way goodbye

'Cause when you feel this strong
And you can't go on
There's nothing wrong, just try to realize

You won't ever have to say goodbye
You won't ever have to say
"I've wasted all my time"
If the dream you dream ain't what it seems
Just look into my eyes
You won't ever have to way goodbye

PAPER SUN
(Collen/Campbell/Elliott/Savage/Woodroffe)

Ohh ohh
Ohh ohhh

Does it hurt to remember
Does it help to forget
Do you know what you started
When you lit the fuse of regret

There's not a reason why
You've come undone
There's nothing left to justify
This can't go on
There's nothing left inside
As I walk this broken land

'Cause you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living on a paper sun
You can't hide and you can't run
All your dreams have come and gone
Living on a paper sun

Do you still hear him screaming
And does the fear make you run
Is the anger inside of you
A gift from father to son

I don't believe in you
You've come undone
I don't believe in what you do
This can't go on
I don't believe in you
As I walk this broken land

'Cause you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living on a paper sun
You can't hide and you can't run
All your dreams have come and gone
Living on a paper.....

You will discover the way to suffer
And like no other you feed the fire

There's not a reason why
You've come undone
There's nothing left to justify
This can't go on
There's nothing left inside
As I walk this broken land

'Cause you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the night
All your dreams have come and gone

IT'S ONLY LOVE
(Elliott/Lange/Savage/Campbell)

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

If you could feel what I feel
If I could make you see
If you could need like I need
I'd be the air that you breathe

You go straight to my head
As I lie in my bed
I just can't win
I can't help the state I'm in

It's only love
So why is falling in it
The one thing that you can't do
If it's only love
Then why'm I hurting from it
It's only love if you're hurting too

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

If you could share my wildest thoughts
Meet me in my mind
If you could want the way that I want
You'd want me all the time

You go straight to my head
When I lie in my bed
I just can't win
I can't stop the state I'm in

It's only love
So why is falling in it
The one thing that you can't do
If it's only love
Then why'm I hurting from it
It's only love if you're hurting too

Every dream I dream has got you in
And every minute with you means everything
I wanna take you there where you've never been
In my dreams

You go straight to my head
As I lie in my bed
I just can't win
I can't help the state I'm in

It's only love
So why is falling in it
The one thing that you can't do
If it's only love
Then why'm I hurting from it
It's only love if you're hurting too

Na na na na na na na na na
It's only love if you're hurting too
Na na na na na na na na na
It's only love if you're hurting too

21st CENTURY SHA LA LA LA GIRL
(Elliott/Collen/Savage)

24 hours of every day
I'd walk on glass just to hear you say
"Gettin' it on is like a drug to me
I want you baby, can't you see?"

I'm crashed and I'm crushed, and I'm stuck on you
I'd do anything that you want me to
I'd crawl on my knees just to get to you
I close my eyes and girl it's true

On a psychadelic space machine
Galactic sugar high
Like a caffeinated satellite
Goin' way past 99

C'mon be my 21st century girl
All outrageous, quite contagious
21st century
You got solar fire
21st century girl
Sweet romancer, cosmic dancer
21st century sha-la-la-la girl

Kiss this, you're blowin' my mind
Never say never, but I'm takin' my time
Girl to the world from the A to the Z
I fall for you so easily
Catch my breath 'cause I know too well
That I just can't control myself
Realize we synchronize
It's only when I close my eyes

On a psychadelic space machine
Galactic sugar high
Like a caffeinated satellite
Goin' way past 99

Come on, be my 21st century girl
All outrageous, quite contagious
21st century
You got solar fire
21st century girl
Sweet romancer, cosmic dancer
21st century
She's high on flying

Flying, flying
You take me up, you set me free
Flying
No time to breathe, just zero G
High
Still flying
No gravity
She's flying

Ahhhhhhhhh

On a psychadelic space machine
Galactic sugar high
Like a caffeinated satellite
Goin' way past 99

Come on, be my 21st century girl
All outrageous, quite contagious
21st century
You got solar fire
21st century girl
Sweet romancer, cosmic dancer
21st century
High and flying
Sha-la-la-la
21st century sha-la-la-la girl
She's flying
21st century sha-la-la-la girl
Flying
21st century sha-la-la-la girl
She's a 21st century sha-la-la-la girl

TO BE ALIVE
(Campbell/Smith)

I know you don't believe it
Like I believe it
Oh no, it's not your fault
You sit alone inside a room
Wait for the world to come to you
They never do

It must be something that you can't let go
It hurts that you won't let me know

Every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help be myself
I hold on to this moment
Any time is right to be alive

And then in conversation
I love the way you mention
Nothing's ever gone your way
With a hammer in your hand
You spell out your master plan
Never learn

It must be somebody holding your heart
Something that tears us apart

Every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help be myself
I hold on to this moment
Any time is right to be alive

And I don't think that it's right
To let love pass by
Any time of life
It's good to be alive

Every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help be myself
Yeah, every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help what I feel
But it sure feels real
I wanna hold on to this moment
'Cause babe it sure feels right
To be alive
To be alive
To be alive

DISINTEGRATE
(Collen)

INSTRUMENTAL

GUILTY
(Collen/Savage/Elliott/Campbell/Woodroffe)

Guilty as sin
Yes I confess
I can't deny
Strong in the heart
Weak in the flesh
I never meant to do you wrong

I swear the soul gets blistered along the way
But when you hurt the things you love
You gotta know

If you mean hope, if you mean fear
Of those words that you've been longing to hear
If you mean faith, if you mean love
Then I'm guilty, I'm guilty of all the above

Can't hide the truth
I stand accused
Don't ask me why
I question every move and thought I've had
That's going on inside

I swear the soul gets blistered along the way
But when you hurt the things you love
You gotta know

If you mean hope, if you mean fear
Of those words that you've been longing to hear
If you mean faith, if you mean love
Then I'm guilty
And if it's wrong to feel this right
I can't help it and I won't fight
If you mean faith, if you mean love
Then I'm guilty, I'm guilty of all the above

It's not my first offense and it won't be the last
My lips are sealed
I would not change a thing except what's in the past

If you mean hope, if you mean fear
Of those words that you've been longing to hear
If you mean faith, if you mean love
Then I'm guilty of loving you
If you mean hope
Guilty
If you mean fear
Heal me
(Never said I was innocent)
Wrap your arms around me
If you mean faith, if you mean love
And it's you that I want
(My lips are sealed)
And I won't fight
And if it's wrong to feels this right
Guilty, heal me
(Never said I was innocent)
My lips are sealed
If you mean faith, if you mean love

DAY AFTER DAY
(Collen/Elliott/Campbell)

You know me, just look in my eyes
I shed my skin, got a new disguise
My heart still beats and I'm still the same
Do you know my name

It's everything you've ever seen
It's every dream you've broken
It's only when you keep your eyes wide open

Like a circle of light spinnin' out of control
And I just can't let go

Day after day
There's a voice deep inside me
Day after day
There's the ghost of a lie
Every belief
That has come back to find me
Day after day
And it follows me blindly
Day after day

I feel you, you're under my skin
You look in the mirror, you know where I've been
My heart still beats but it's not the same
Don't you know my name

I'm always there to keep your eyes wide open

Like a circle of light spinnin' out of control
And I just can't let go

Day after day
There's a voice deep inside me
Day after day
There's the ghost of a lie
Every belief
That has come back to find me
Day after day
And it follows me blindly
Day after day

Like a circle of light spinnin' out of control
And I just can't let go

Day after day
There's a voice deep inside me
Day after day
There's the ghost of a lie
Every belief
That has come back to find me
Day after day
And it follows me blindly
Day after day

Day after day

Day after day
There's a voice deep inside me
Day after day
There's the ghost of a lie
Every belief
That has come back to find me
Day after day
And it follows me blindly
Day after day

KINGS OF OBLIVION
(Elliott/Collen/Savage)

Cold nights, dark days
Love moves in mysterious ways
It's so sweet like a mother's tongue
Whose symphony protects her young
But this truth ain't what it seems
'Cause you and I have different dreams
We rise up but we never learn
As we try to shake this sleep that burns

The darkness screams its icy breath
As daylight dies a thousand deaths

Kings of oblivion
Deadly and divine solution
Kings of oblivion
Welcome to my revolution

Reach out through the past
We blame the victim first and last
Blind faith got you and me
Running like a refugee
We fall out and into the street
To wash the blood out of the sheets
And your pain, it flows like wine
As my subconscious reaps your mind

I stretch to kiss the burning sky
And watch the waking beauty cry

Kings of oblivion
Deadly and divine solution
Kings of oblivion
Welcome to my revolution

Is it such a crime to watch the sunset for the last time
Until we meet again, it's goodbye, farewell, amen

Ahhhhh, ahhhhh

Cold nights, dark days
Love moves in mysterious ways
We rise up but we never learn
As we try to shake this sleep that burns

The darkness screams its icy breath
As daylight dies a thousand deaths

Kings of oblivion
Deadly and divine solution
Kings of oblivion
Welcome to my revolution
Kings of oblivion
Deadly and divine solution
Kings of oblivion
Welcome to my revolution
