Fallen Leaves

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

I hitched a ride, until the coast
To leave behind, all of my ghost
Searching for something, I couldn´t find at home

Can’t get no job, can you spare a dime?
Just one more hit, and I’ll be fine
I swear to God, this’ll be my one last time!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

When it gets dark, in Pigeon Park
Voice in my head, will soon be fed
By the vultures, that circle round the dead!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

I never once thought, I’d ever be caught!
Staring at sidewalks, hiding my track marks!
I left my best friends, or did they just leave me?

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground


Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

Devil in a Midnight Mass

A devil in a midnight mass,
He prayed behind stained glass
A memory of Sunday class,
Resurrected from the past

Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Footsteps down the hallway floor,
Getting closer to my door
I was alive, but now I’m singing…

Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Violent Knight… at the edge of your knife,
“Forgive me Father”…don’t make it right
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… at the edge of your knife,
You’re guilty!

A devil in a midnight mass,
Killed the boy inside the man
The holy water in his hands,
Can never wash away his sins

Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Put my trust in God that day,
Not the man that taught his way
I was alive, but now I’m singing…

Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Violent Knight… at the edge of your knife,
“Forgive me Father”…don’t make it right
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… at the edge of your knife
You’re guilty!

Whisper, whisper… don’t make a sound,
Your bed is made; it’s in the ground.

Whisper, whisper ... didn't make a sound, Your bed is made;
Didn't make a sound

Whisper, whisper… don’t make a sound,
Your bed is made; it’s in the ground.

Whisper, whisper… don’t make a sound,
Your bed is made; it’s in the ground.

Whisper, whisper… don’t make a sound,
Your bed is made; it’s in the ground.

Whisper, whisper… don’t make a sound,
Your bed is made; it’s in the ground.

Red Flag

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Well I've never seen us act like this
Our only hope is the minds of kids
And they'll show us a thing or two

Our only weapons are the guns of youth
It's only time before they tighten the noose
And then the hunt will be on for you

The red Flag waving never meant the same
ohh
The red Flag waving never meant the same

We don't need them

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Like the smallest bee packs a sting
Like a pawn checkmates a King
We'll attack at the crack of dawn

Build a ladder if there's a wall
Don't be afraid to slip and fall
Speak for yourself or they'll speak for you

The red flag waving never meant the same
nooo .......
the red flag waving never meant the same
We don't need them

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Like a fire
Don't need water
Like a jury
Needs a lawyer
Like a riot
Don't need order
Like a madman
Needs a martyr

We don't need them
We don't need them
We don't need them
We don't need them
We don't need them
We don't need them
We don't need them
We don't need them


Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
The Red Flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
When they live in the sins of yesterday


we don't need them Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
(we don't need them) The Red Flag waving never meant the same
(we don't need them) The kids of tomorrow don't need today
(we don't need them) When they live in the sins of yesterday

we don't need them!!

Surrender

She reads a book from across the street,
Waiting for someone that she’ll never meet
Talk over coffee for an hour or two,
She wonders why I’m always in a good mood

Killing time before she struts her stuff,
She needs support and I’ve become the crutch
She’ll never know how much she means to me,
I’d play the game but I’m the referee

Surrender… every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender… every touch, every smile, every frown
Surrender… all the pain we’ve endured until now
Surrender… all the hope that I lost, you have found
Surrender… yourself to me

Even though I know what I’m looking for,
She’s got a brick wall behind her door
I’d travel time and confess to her,
But I’m afraid she’d shoot the messenger

Surrender… every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender… every touch, every smile, every frown
Surrender… all the pain we’ve endured until now
Surrender… all the hope that I lost, you have found
Surrender… yourself to me

I think I found a flower in a field of weeds,
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
Searching until my hands bleed,
This flower don’t belong to me

I think I found a flower in a field of weeds,
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
Searching until my hands bleed,
This flower don’t belong to me
This flower don’t belong to me

Why can’t she belong to me?

every word, every thought, every sound
every touch, every smile, every frown
all the pain we’ve endured until now
all the hope that I lost, you have found

Surrender… every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender… every touch, every smile, every frown
Surrender… all the pain we’ve endured until now
Surrender… all the hope that I lost, you have found
Surrender… yourself to me

I never had the nerve to ask,
Has my moment come and passed?
I never had the nerve to ask,
Has my moment come and passed?
I never had the nerve to ask,
Has my moment come and passed?

I never had the nerve to ask
