Love Will Find A Way Lyrics

Oh my sweet little darling how fair you look tonight
The world is drifting gently through starry winterlight
And all the love I have is here for you to show
It shall be your companion where ever you may go...

And you look so small - compared to it all

The nights are drawing in now, snow's heavy on the ground
The candles burning brightly and outside there's no sound
We wish for things we've wanted but not for things we need
These times are full of wonder, come x-mas, come! Godspeed...

An old man in the park is pulling on his sleigh
He's smiling as he looks up into the winter's day
The sunlight's shining brightly, a promise in the air
The churchbells call the people, there's singing everywhere

And the snow reflects - the dawning of a newborn star

Will we see the star this Christmas, will it guide us on our way
I will promise you, I will promise you that our love will find a way...

House Of Ghosts Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm stuck in the house
That once belonged to you
I'm stuck in the house
Lost without myself
I'm stuck in the house
Don’t know where I’m goin' to
I'm stuck in the house
Dust upon the shelf

[Verse 1]
The pale moon's standing still
Frozen on the ridge
The stars tiptoe to their ancestral places
The books on the walls
Dream ominous dreams
And armies of shadows
Are walking off their pages

[Chorus]
I’m stuck in the house
That once belonged to you
I’m stuck in the house
Lost without myself
I’m stuck in the house
Don’t know where I’m goin' to
I’m stuck in the house
Dust upon the shelf

[Verse 2]
The names and numbers
Grow meaningless in my mind
Patterns disintegrate
On the black surface of night
And since the moon arose
She swallowed all memories
Insatiable hunger she bears
That never will cease

[Bridge]
Ooo I'm stuck in the house
Stuck in the house
Stuck in the house
Stuck in the house
Always

[Verse 3]
I’m going now
There's nothing left to do
The door closes behind me
The moon had her fill too
The night turns itself over
Into a newborn day
The key's under the doormat
For the next who comes to stay

[Chorus]
He's stuck in the house
That once belonged to you
Stuck in the house
Lost without himself
Oh he's stuck in the house
(stuck in the house)
Don’t know what he will do
He's stuck in the house
Dust upon the shelf
(stuck in the house)

[Verse 4]
Stuck in the house
(The names and numbers)
That once belonged to you
(Patterns disintegrate)
Stuck in the house
(On the black surface of night)
And since the moon arose
(He's stuck in the house)
She swallowed all memories
(Don't know what he will do)
Insatiable hunger she bears
(He's stuck in the house)
That never will cease

[Outro]
Always, always
Always, always
Always, always
Stuck in the house

And I wonder
Leaving from there was always so sad
Always

Heartbreak City Lyrics

[Intro]
Heartbreak
Heartbreak City
Heartbreak
Heartbreak City
Strange is the night

[Verse 1]
Catch the next train from self pity
It takes you straight to Heartbreak City
Don’t have to ask for a first class ticket
Because it’s free for those who deserve the visit

Take a walk on lonely street now
Don’t you stop, don’t you shuffle your feet now
Never look back to where you came from
Nothing there but a goblin maelstrom
You’re goin’ to…

[Chorus]
Heartbreak City, you can’t let go
The fools in love, the too much and the not enough
Heartbreak City, strange is the night
Where black stars rise with strange moons in the skies

[Verse 2]
Days obscured by silent sorrow
I hope to hell it’s better tomorrow
Fools are nailed at the glowing skyline
Burning angels make, ooh, the night shine

One last chance now and you’ve had many
Oh, they all, they just passed you by
Hold on tight now, the train is moving
Another day, another goodbye
Say hello to…

[Chorus]
Heartbreak City, you can’t let go
The fools in love, the too much and the not enough
Heartbreak City, a creeping sorrow
A pallid dolly, ten courts to hell and a dead man’s folly

[Bridge]
Heartbreak, you can't let go
The fools in love
Heartbreak, strange is the night
Where black stars rise
Heartbreak, a pallid dolly
A dead man's folly
Heartbreak, it don’t heal clean
The fools in love (the too much and the not enough)

[Chorus]
Heartbreak City, it don’t heal clean
The fools in love, the too much and the not enough
Heartbreak City, strange is the night
Where black stars rise with strange moons in the skies

Heartbreak City, the king in yellow
The falling rain, they won’t help to ease your pain
(Strange is the night)

[Outro]
Catch the next train from self pity
It takes you straight to Heartbreak City
Catch the next train from self pity
It takes you straight to Heartbreak City

Fever! Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Raging horses in the darkness
When she's crawling in I'm waking
And her demons soon got lazy
And the world melts without aching

Senorita in a fun house
With no idea where to turn to
If you ever recognize her
Smash the mirror to escape her

[Chorus]
She's obsession, she's a fever
Almost perfect, I couldn't leave her
A killer in the mirror
The answer to romancers

She's obsession, she's a fever
Almost perfect, I couldn't leave her
A killer in the mirror
A killer in the mirror
The answer to romancers

She's obsession, she's a fever
Almost perfect, I couldn't leave her
A killer in the mirror
A killer in the mirror
The answer to romancers

Mmm, and I wonder about the times we had
Oh, leaving from there was always so sad

[Verse 2]
Moons are creeping through her alleys
Angels play with hearts and halos
And the snow wafts somehow spinning
'Cross the frostings on her windows

Bodies sweat and walls are trembling
Hands grip chains both fast and frightning
Feral beasts 'gainst metal barriers
One last puff at end of lightning

[Chorus]
She's obsession, she's a fever
Almost perfect, I couldn't leave her
A killer in the mirror
A killer in the mirror
The answer to romancers

She's obsession, she's a fever
Almost perfect, I couldn't leave her
A killer in the mirror
A killer in the mirror
The answer to romancers

And I wonder about the times we had
Leaving from there was always so sad

[Outro]
A silent spectre's
Face upon face
And inquiring eyes scan
The abysmal space

And I wonder about the times we had
Leaving from there was always so sad

Beyond The Laughing Sky Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I feel you in my blood
You're perfectly designed
I want to count the stars within your mind
Your body is the likeness of the universe

[Chorus]
You, you lead me to the point
The point of no return
To scenes where dreams come true
And I don't care for fateful consequences
Mmm hmmm concerning me or you

[Verse 2]
I love to watch the secrets
In the green sea of your eyes
I'll never understand them
But they brighten up my life

[Pre-Chorus]
You're doing wondrous things to me
That make me feel so high
They say you can have anything you want
Beyond the laughing sky
I know there's always a tomorrow (tomorrow)
But someone has to pay the bills
Someone has to pay the bills
Tomorrow (tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow)

[Chorus]
You, you lead me to the point
The point of no return
To scenes where dreams come true
And I don't care for fateful consequences
Oh, I don't care, concerning me or you

I see you standing next to heaven's gate
Lone on the highest stair
About to navigate on crazy ways
Along the sun rays of your will
Ready to fly away you spread your mind to play
And weave the sunlight in your hair

Just do what you want (just do what you want)
I just can't get enough (I just can't get enough)
I can't live without it (I can't live without it)
Do it one more time (Do it one more time)
Do it one more time (Do it one more time)
Do it one more time (Do it one more time)
Beyond the laughing sky (Beyond the laughing sky)

[Outro]
Just do what you want
I just can’t get enough
I can't live without it
Beyond the laughing sky
Just do what you want
Beyond the laughing sky
Beyond the laughing sky
Beyond the laughing sky

A Handful of Darkness Lyrics

Verse 1]
Take a look at that child
Living in a world of war
It could be yours or mine
But not for very long
For now it's judgement's day
Tonight it will be killed
But maybe in your dreams
It comes around again
To tell you lovely things
About a paradise
Where everything is clean
And everybody's nice
And everything's in love
And everything is light
Where mom and papa wait
To kiss you good night
To kiss you good night

[Chorus]
Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
Where is that great wide open?
Where I used to fly?
Where went my strength and anger?
Who's that to blame?
Are we just lost in life, without an aim?

Oh mother Mary, where have we gone?
So far away from you and from the sun
Send you all my love
In a handful of darkness
In a handful of darkness

[Verse 2]
And all the things you've done
And all the things we've seen
And all the books you've read
Are spinning in our head
And every time you leave
And every time you stay
You'll always turn around
And think about the day
There's not much we can do
There's not much we could say
It's all about the things we do from day to day
And all the things we've done
And all the things we've seen
And all the books we've read
Stay somewhere in our heads

[Chorus]
Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
Where is that great wide open?
Where I used to fly?
Where went my strength and anger?
Who takes the blame?
Are we just lost in life, without an aim?

Oh mother Mary, where have I gone?
So far away from home; from the sun
I send you all my hopes
And a handful of darkness

Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
Where is that great wide open?
Where I used to fly?
Where went my strength and anger?
Who takes the blame?
Are we just lost in life, without an aim?

Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
Where is that great wide open?
Where I used to fly?
Where went my strength and anger?
Who takes the blame?
Are we just lost in life, without an aim?

Oh mother Mary, where have we gone?
So far away from you and from the sun
I sent you all my love
In a handful of darkness
I sent you all my love
In a handful of darkness

Enigma Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel strange, nervous and tired
Not really sad
I'm just awakened
To the fact that I am lonely
There are people who pass by
There are people who stay
But that's not the point
No, that's not the point

[Chorus]
This is what I've been searching for
Tryin' to break thru that black hole door
Tryin' to reach for you
But I'm drifting away

I'm drifting away
I'm drifting away
Through my sleepless nights I'm drifting away
Though your lips are moving
I can't hear what you're sayin'
I'm drifting away

[Verse 2]
I can hardly remember
When I saw you the last
Where once we were playin'
Now there's nothing but enigmas
Made a hole in my chest, and
Counted the stars inside
And then I saw you out there
Strung out into eternity

[Chorus]
This is what I'll be going for
Tryin' to break through that black hole door
Tryin' to get to you
But I'm losing the grip
Woah ohh

I'm drifting away
I'm drifting away
So many starry nights I drifted away, my lovely
And though your shape is shining
Like a million hot summer days
Nothing can bring you back
Nothing can bring you back
My true love

[Outro]
I'm drifting away
I'm drifting away
Through my sleepless nights I'm drifting away
Though your lips are moving
I can't hear what you're sayin'
I'm drifting away

I'm drifting away
I'm drifting away
So many starry nights I drifted away, my lovely
And though your shape is shining
Like a million hot summer days
Nothing can bring you back
Nothing

Marionettes With Halos Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Imperial Goliath
Lost in an unhelpful space
And you know who's creating islands
Of increasing entropy
And mesmerized circus monkeys
Dissolve like quaaludes in lemonade
Industrial moguls trot out their sermons
They’re all, they’re begging for a new sound

[Chorus]
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Ooo .... crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos immortalized
Doomed variety acts
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Crack, baby, crack

[Verse 2]
You’re so full of lies
Pimped in X-factor make-up
Applause over end credits
As the ghouls leave the theater
You may be very sexy
But you’re not an artist at all
Karaoke pipe dreams of rock'n'roll eunuchs
Proclaiming Dick Rowe for their hero

[Chorus]
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Ooo ... crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos immortalized
Doomed variety acts
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Ooo .... crack, baby, crack
[indistinct]
Crack, baby, crack

Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Ooo ... crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos immortalized
Doomed variety acts
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Ooo .... crack, baby, crack

Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Marionettes with halos
Crack, baby, crack
Crack, baby, crack
Crack, baby, crack
Ooo ... crack, baby, crack

Sexyland Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Follow me way back in time
To my post-war phantom empire
Freezing and homeless
In the cold winter night
Hanging out in a Tubeway station
With no place to go
Full of dreams and illusions
Waiting for the end of the night

Then I saw your face all over the place
A porn-supermarket ad, a strange attractor
A moment I will never ever forget

[Chorus]
How could I know this was my flight to Venus?
When I bought my underground ticket
That night I waved good-bye to life
With the European narcotic kings
And their wives
In simmering anticipation

[Verse 2]
She looked like the queen of babylon
A girl of the underworld
Soft skin on black silk
Bathed in cold neon light
An icon at the wall of a cathedral
A b-girl rhapsody
A date with disaster
Between the devil and the deep blue

Forbidden paradise when worlds collide
In this city by night
I was on a most fantastic journey

[Chorus]
How could I know this was my flight to Venus?
When I bought my underground ticket
That night I waved good-bye to life
With the European narcotic kings
And their wives
In simmering anticipation

[Verse 3]
It's a glittering secret
A magic spell
The pale girls they know
But they, they never will tell
I wish we were movie stars
Just you and me
And Saturday night, Saturday night
Became eternity

How could I know this was my flight?
How could I know this was my flight?
How could I know this was my flight?

[Chorus]
How could I know this was my flight to Venus?
When I bought my underground ticket
That night I waved good-bye to life
With the European narcotic kings
And their wives
In simmering anticipation

Big In Japan Lyrics

Winter's cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That I'd ever find a glimpse
Of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
You did what you did to me
Now it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan

chorus:
Aah when you're big in Japan-tonight...
Big in Japan-be-tight...
Big in Japan... ooh the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan-alright,
Pay! -- Then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh when you're big in Japan

Neon on my naked skin, passing silhouettes
Of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or should I go and change my point of view
For other ugly scenes
You did what you did to me
Now it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan

Aah when you're big in Japan-tonight...
Big in Japan-be-tight...
Big in Japan... ooh the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan-alright, pay!
Then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan

Around The Universe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a man waving his hat
At a starting aero-plane
On a faded photograph from long ago
And I wondered who he was
Who was on the plane
And where the flight was going to
And I felt kind of homesick
Although you were with me

[Chorus]
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever come back again?
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever come back, come back again?

[Verse 2]
When the circle is fulfilled
When the planes are coming back
And I'll be there to welcome you home
And it will be my turn
And nothing shall be left
But memories and faded photographs
You see, I'm on my way
Some have to go, some have to stay

[Chorus]
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever come back again?
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever come back, come back again?

[Bridge]
When will I ever cope with love?
When will I ever learn?
And I feel I have to go
To where I do not know, to where I do not know

[Chorus]
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever come back again?
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever come back, come back
When will I ever come back, come back again?

Rendezvoyeur Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here I'm throwing stones
That won't come down
Playing hide and seek
With jesters and with clowns
Like a storm of wings
On wings of song
I feel so confused
I can't go on

[Verse 2]
I can't wait to feel
You coming down
I can still hear what you say
Love is just a game to play
Oh my deadly one
Take this pain away
Come embrace me, angel
Lead me to the, to the very end

[Chorus]
Rendezvoyeur, what will you do?
It feels I'm trapped inside your view
Rendezvoyeur, what will you do?
It feels I'm trapped inside your view

[Verse 3]
You threw me roses for a day
And then I burned them right away
Perhaps you waited much too long
The ghouls inside are fast asleep
They fill my head ten thousand deep
Or do they plan my final song

[Verse 4]
Your face obscured by solid trance
In flesh and blood you warm your lance
Rendezvoyeur, what will you do?
It feels I'm trapped inside, inside your view

[Chrorus]
Rendezvoyeur, what will you do?
It feels I'm trapped inside your view
Rendezvoyeur, what will you do?
It feels I'm trapped inside

Rendezvoyeur, what will you do?
It feels I'm trapped inside your view
Rendezvoyeur, what will you do?
It feels I'm trapped inside

Rendezvoyeur, what will you do?
It feels I'm trapped inside
Rendezvoyeur, what will you do?
It feels I'm trapped inside

Giants Lyrics

I hate to sleep but I love to dream
It drives me to places that I've never seen
My mind is in flames, I pray they will stay
If you felt this fire you know what I'm sayin'
Well here's my plan for a journey supreme
Board the ship of your follies as soon as you can

And worn out proportions will fall into one
Don't care where we're going to before we are gone
And we're masqueraders, much bigger than life
So full of illusions, don't let it die
And we can be giants although we're so small
'Cause nobody's perfect, nobody's perfect at all

Mafia Island Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yes, we sailed
Over the storm whipped, jade-green sea
On Chephren's barge to Mafia island
We broke coral and drank whiskey
In the glowing heat
And the sun sail slattered in the wind
Like berserk machine guns

[Chorus]
And the girls from the bar
They were bathing at the beach
And they sang in their melancholic voice
Soft words that were caught
Between the sound of the waves
And they sang in a melancholic voice

[Verse 2]
We're stuck here for good
The radio had broken off
Just a few days ago
The ether swelled as the earth ran dry
Nothing moved in the flickering ardor

[Chorus]
And the girls from the bar
They were bathing at the beach
And they sang in their melancholic voice
Soft words that were caught
Between the sound of the waves
Yes, they sang in a melancholic voice
Melancholic

And the girls from the bar
They were bathing at the beach
And they sang in a melancholic voice
Soft words that were caught between the sound of the waves

And the girls from the bar
They were bathing at the beach
And they sang in a melancholic voice
Soft words that were caught between the sound of the waves

And they sang in a melancholic voice
Melancholic

Nevermore Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know you don't exist
But last night I beheld your face
Is that you?
Is that you?

I know you don't exist
All your advice was forged by myself
But is that you?
Is that you?

In vain I fought at crossroads with your lies
In vain I came up with those helpless alibis
I know, I know, you don't exist
I know, I know, you don't exist

[Chorus]
Mr. Nevermore
Soon you'll be walking down
The alleys of my dreams
Yes, I'm Nevermore
Rubbing your hands in glee and making plans
For Nevermore
Ceaselessly going 'round inside my head
And scornfully you're whispering into my ear
I know, I know, I know, I don't exist, my dear

[Verse 2]
Still in this ambush of unlikelyhood
I'm hiding, well prepared for intervention
It's me
Yes, it's me

And when you're tired, I'm awake
You hear my laughs just before you close your eyes
It's me
Yes, it's me

I never sleep, I never let you be
Some call it karma, some call it destiny
Your doors are safely locked but I hold the keys
My friends inside are legion waiting for their release

[Chorus]
I am Nevermore
Soon I'll be walking down
The alleys of your dreams
I'm Nevermore
Rubbing my hands in glee and making plans
Forever more
Ceaselessly going 'round inside your head
And it's my greatest pleasure to whisper in your ear
I know, I know, I know, I don't exist, my dear

I am Nevermore
Soon I'll be walking down
The alleys of your dreams
I'm Nevermore
Rubbing my hands in glee and making plans
Forever more
Ceaselessly going 'round inside your head
And it's my greatest pleasure to whisper in your ear
I know, I know, I know, I don't exist, my dear

Forever Young Lyrics

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the madman

chorus:
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, or never

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading rose
Youth like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let 'em come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, or never

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, or never

Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?

Sounds Like A Melody Lyrics

It's a trick of my mind
Two faces bathing in the screenlight
She's so soft and warm in my arms
I tune it into the scene
My hands are resting on her shoulders
When we're dancing away for a while
Oh we're moving, we're falling,
We step into the fire
By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream
There's no reason to hurry
Just start that brand new story
Set it alight, we're head over heels in love,
Head over heels...

chorus:
The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places
We'll go for a while

It's the definite show
Our shadows resting in the moonlight
It's so clear and bright in your eyes
It's the touch of your sighs
My lips are resting on your shoulder
When we're moving so soft and slow
We need the extasy, the jealousy,
The comedy of love
Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before
Give me more tragedy, more harmony
And phantasy, my dear
And set it alight, just starting that satellite
Set it alight...

chorus:
The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places,
We'll go for a while

The Jet Set Lyrics

Yeah! Get ready for the show

This is the time, now gimme that beat
Feel how the rhythm grips your feet
Kitty baby, take my hand
She's like a devil, heaven sent
I'm in her arms and she's in mine
Maybe we make the film on time
Sitting in the 15th row
Oh baby, baby, I love you so

chorus:
We are the jet set society
We are the jet set and that means liberty, liberty
The jet set society
We are the jet set set, we are the jet set set
Society

We're on the run, we know where to go
We got the tickets for the midnight show
These nights are burning out so fast
Hop on the beam, you won't be last
The Russians seem to be that way
We love them like we love D. Kaye
We need no money, we get it for free
We are the high-high-high society

chorus:
We are the jet set society
We are the jet set and that means liberty, liberty
The jet set society
We are the jet set set, we are the jet set set
Society

We are the jet set, hop on the beam
We are the jet set, hop on the beam
We are the jet set, hop on the beam
We are the jet set, hop on the beam
Hop on the beam

Shine on, society, shine on, liberty
Shine on, luxury, shine on, society

Streets are full of love and fear
This could be the final year
Enrico's dead but still okay
We dance the streets, feeling well
If she's a liar, I'm her lover
If she's a priestess, I'm her cover
If she's a lady, I'm her man
If she's a man, I'll do what I can

chorus:
We are the jet set society
We are the jet set and that means liberty, liberty
The jet set society
We are the jet set set, we are the jet set set
Society

Let's go to the moon
