You tell me that you love me and you hold me in your snare
I want to know the reasons, but tell me you don't dare
I work hard for my money and I never do you wrong!
You think that I should pay for you to treat me like a dog?
You come to me when there's a bill to pay...
Get the Hell out of my way!
You can't stop me anyway, I'm heading for the door
I won't take your excuses or your bullshit anymore
I know that when I go, then you're really gonna fall
You need me for a victim, but I don't need you at all.
You can't beleive it when I walk away...
Get the Hell out of my way!
(guitar solo)
You say that it's a sin for me to want to be myself
You say "you'd better listen, or you're gonna go to hell".
Waiting for someone to bring you to the promised land
You sing about the Rock, but you build you house upon the sand.
You come to me when its washed away...
Get the Hell out of my way!
I know the road you're on
is paved with different stones
than the road that most of us are on.
I know how hard it is
you know I've seen your pain
when the weight is coming down on you.
So won't you take me now
make me the target of
all the forces of you hidden fire.
Don't try to save my soul
just come and let it go
burn me with the strength of your desire.
(guitar solo)
I want to hold you now
the world is falling down
we can keep each other safe from harm.
I'm hanging on a string
but you can break the chain
send me falling straight into you arms.
I've seen a side of things that I never knew was there
before I opened my eyes.
I'm so amazed that I never even cared
about the beauty all around.
(keyboard solo)
I look around in the bright light of the day
will wonders ever cease?
Learning something new every day
and I'm happy I opened eyes.
(guitar solo)
Oh, nobody knows
what you don't show
to friend or foe.
But its all clear
each time I hear
hear the way
you play guitar
Eyes that never cry
I don't why
you keep it inside.
You show more, dear,
that you could with tears
each time you play,
play that guitar.
Children of the Atom, gather round
join the secret Underground.
They hate us because we're differet, because we're young.
And they're trying to stop us with their guns.
Brothers and sisters, hear what I say
The choice has come upon us on this day.
I we listen to our elders, we will die!
So rally around my battle cry
You're afraid that he won't like what he'll see
If you let it be.
You afraid that he won't like what he'll know
If you let it go.
Chorus:
You know he loves you when you're high
but will he love you when you're dry?
when you're not standing so tall?
Will he love you?
Will he love you when you fall?
You're afraid that it will all just be too much
if you ever touch.
You're afraid that the fire will burn to bright
if you let it light.
Chorus:
You know he loves you when you fly
but will he love you when you cry?
when you're not standing so tall?
Will he love you?
Will he love you when you fall?
(guitar solo)
You're afraid of losing your control
if he sees your soul.
You're afraid that you've gone a bit too far
to show him what you are.
(repeat chorus)
My first attempts to get through to you were hardly successful
I even started to think you couldn't be reached at all.
And then one fine day you took the first step.
And to thank you, I wrote this song.
Chorus:
Somehow it happened, happened to me
I looked in your eyes and you set me free
Andrea, Andrea
Nothing new is ever taken seriously
Some people even say it shouldn't be tried at all.
Then one day a light goes on in somebody's head.
The world gets smaller and the universe grows.
(repeat chorus)
(keyboard solo)
Just keep on dreaming, don't be afraid
Only by dreamers great things are made
Andrea, Andrea
(harmonica solo)
I've tried to beleive her
when she tells me that I'm her friend
but really she's like a teacher
and I'm just a little kid
and there's no way I can ever reach her
and know what lies within
Chorus:
I guess I'll go on home,
but it won't be live this time.
I guess I'll go on home,
but it won't be live this time.
She needs a lover
to go running through the park
a knight in shining armor
to slay the dragons in her heart
and I am just a blind man
struggling through the dark.
(repeat chorus)
Tell me now, have you ever been afraid for your life?
Ever hear the death-screams of your children and your wife?
And you'll always remember the burning embers of home
But you keep in line because you've got nothing left of your own
Chorus:
And the path winds on from days to months to years.
And you know that you're on the Trail of Fears.
(guitar solo)
Time fades away into the night.
And you can't tell here from there or left from right.
And the pain never stops but you just don't feel it in your head.
And your eyes glaze over and you look like the living dead.
(repeat chorus)
(guitar solo)
As I journey down the highway
I hear the engine call your name.
I've been a million miles since Friday
but the road looks the same.
And the times we were together
they are always on my mind.
I thought that we might last forever.
How could I have been so blind?
(guitar solo)
And after all the love that we made
I never thought you'd leave so soon.
And I've been on the road for three days
with nothing to guide me but the moon.
(guitar solo)
