1. Long Way To Go

Sitting here watching it slide away
Thinking what can I do today
Picking up the pieces of a dream
That was meant to be

So here I go you're taking away
All inside of me
Well I know it's a long way

And it's a long way to go
When you're cruising on your own
You're finding it hard
Just wanna be a star

Stranded on a ship left out at sea
Conspiring didn't know I had it in me
Things are rolling over into destiny
Forever being mistaken - lost dignity

So here I go you're taking away
All inside of me
Well I know it's a long way

And it's a long way to go
When you're cruising on your own
You're finding it hard
Just wanna be a star

Feel it taking over
Feel it taking over
You're losing control
Feel it taking over and over

And it's a long way to go
When you're cruising on your own
You're finding it hard
Just wanna be a star

So when you gaze into the crystal ball
You see nothing's gonna change at all
Nothings gonna happen
If it's gonna happen
It's not gonna happen overnight
Said It's not gonna happen overnight
I know
You just gotta let it roll



2. Head Room

Is there any room 
Inside your head

Is there any room 
Inside your head

What you gonna see
When you open your eyes
What you gonna hear
When the buzzing dies

Turn away from the past that you know
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Trying to figure out
What its all about

Trying to figure out
What its all about

What you gonna do
When they let you out
What you gonna say
When they let you shout

Turn away from the past that you know
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go



3. Suicide Ballad

From within the building
Much higher than the clouds
Easy girl walking restless 
Unsettled white gown

Tired alone trying to fight it through

Never had a chance always climbing stairways
Such is her life must have had a right to complain

Shattered limbs lay concrete paintings
Twisted pieces all around
Easy girl no longer walking
Tattered white gown on the ground

Free as a bird no longer alone
Free as a bird no longer alone

Never had a chance always climbing stairways
Such is her life - must have had a right to complain

Free as a bird no longer alone 
Free as a bird no longer alone



4. Superstar

Long ago and oh so far away, 
I fell in love with you
Before the second show
Your guitar it sounds so sweet to me,
But you're not really here
Its just the radio

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
Said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby Oh baby
I love you - I really do

Loneliness is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again
What to say to make you come again
Come back to me again 
And play your sad guitar

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
Said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby Oh baby
I love you - I really do



5. Freefalling

Seen so many things on planet Earth
So better than this crawling up my spine
It's so surreal - will I ever be missed

Free falling down 
I'm letting go
I don't know why
Falling again

Shut myself away 
Escape the noise
And the city streets
Get myself a gun
Show the world what heaven is

Free falling down 
I'm letting go
I don't know why
Falling again

Read the crap that they're putting in the papers
All the devastation on TV
Made my mind up - I'm gonna do away with this world

Free falling down 
I'm letting go
I don't know why
Falling again



6. She's So...

Catch me I'm falling
What is there to do
Another day hopelessly
Searching for you
Just the way she is always
She is always
Beyond my mind

See me today
She's in my soul
Try and find a way
Cos she's so...

If I could take away
Times gone by it's
Just the way
She is always
Beyond my mind

See me today
She's in my soul
Try to find a way
To tell her what I'm trying to say
Cos I can see
All that she's trying to be
Never take away
Cos she's so...

Away
Away
She is always
Beyond my mind

See me today
She's in my soul
Try to find a way
To tell her what I'm trying to say
Cos I can see
All that she's trying to be
Never take away
Cos she's so...

There she goes
Watch her
There she goes...



7. Backseat Of A Car

Climb the walls, but there's no way out now
Does it really hurt to play their games
The worse thing that could ever happen is
You end up at the same place
There's so many people searching for a life line
To many people fighting on the bread line
They try to pull you in - is it the end 
Is it the end for you

Like in the backseat of a car
Pay the fare he'll take you far
Needs to feel he's in control
Mr Jones he plays the part
Buys a house gets a car
That's all they ever want for you 

So when they tell you what to do
Play along and you'll get threw
It's all they ever want from you

So you play the games they tell you to go along with all their rules
They try to pull you in - is it the end - is it the end for you

When they try to change your way of thinking
Its the only thing that you can do
Climb the walls to the outside
Because you know they'll never catch you

Like in the backseat of a car
Pay the fare he'll take you far
Needs to feel he's in control
Mr Jones he plays the part
Buys a house gets a car
That's all they ever want for you 

So when they tell you what to do
Play along and you'll get threw
It's all they ever want from you



8. Spinning The Carousel

You've got what I need
For a little fee
Helpless sentiments
Are overthrown
The times have changed
They've rearranged
Watch me fall
Beneath your feet

Spinning the carousel
The little girl from hell
Tell me what you know
...Cos I don't mind it at all
Spin around this way
What you got to say
Tell me what you know
...Cos I don't mind it at all

Thought of a thousand things
That you could bring
Just a little more rope to hang me with
Can't hide the pain
Make it go away
Watch me fall beneath your feet

Spinning the carousel
The little girl from hell
Tell me what you know
...Cos I don't mind it at all
Spin around this way
What you got to say
Tell me what you know
...Cos I don't mind it at all

I don't mind it at all

Spinning the carousel
The little girl from hell
Tell me what you know
...Cos I don't mind it at all
Spin around this way
What you got to say
Tell me what you know
...Cos I don't mind it at all




9. Sixty Five

Need some time to recognize
That your dreams can all be real
You're walking on the tightrope of life
A passing glance downwards
Laser lights on a winding road

Speed limit at sixty five
No matter where you go
Speed limit at sixty five
It doesn't matter where you go

Mesmerized by people's lives
While his own is sinking slowly
He sits at home and spends his wasted days
Stares at old photos and wonders
Where his dreams have slipped away

Speed limit at sixty five
No matter where you go
Speed limit at sixty five
It doesn't matter where you go

These are the days
When everything is going to be OK
These are the days…

Away that's the very place
Could you picture his parent's face
Wouldn't want to go out again
You're so innocently vain
No matter where you go

Speed limit at sixty five
No matter where you go
Speed limit at sixty five
It doesn't matter where you go



10. Delaney

Delaney and me we're gonna set you free today
We got a gun to your head so pretty soon
You'll be dead anyway
Cos what she wants she is gonna get
Otherwise you'll soon be dead
She's gonna blow you
She's gonna blow you away

Now we're on the run
She's my number one
You know what I
You know what I
You know what I mean

She stole a Cadillac just to cut some slack
Down the freeway
On a one way street to get away from the heat
We're OK
And she is dressed to kill the occasion
She is gorgeous
She's gonna blow you
She's gonna blow you away

Now we're on the run
She's my number one
You know what I
You know what I
You know what I mean

They're trying to get us now
We don't know where to go
We're nearly out of time
And fuel is running low
We need to get some gas
A pack of cigarettes
Delaney's lost control
But there are no regrets

Now we're on the run
She's my number one
You know what I
You know what I
You know what I mean

We need to get some gas
A pack of cigarettes
Delaney's lost control
