Could you come back with me? And would you take all of my time too? We could run by the light of the Moon. Someone might steal your pride, And another might make you play the fool. But we could run by the light of the Moon. And if you fall, will you take me by the hand? You could take me down with you. And I would not crawl away before you make your stand, And you could take me down with you. And if you should back away, I would give all of my time too, So we could run by the light of the Moon. No one can steal your pride, Not when I'm standing next to you. And we could run by the light of the Moon.

Lonesome Red 05:34
He rides along though no one sees. Through barren lands with no trees. His destination no one knows Not even him but still he goes. His curse will never let him rest Forever heading to the West Vengeance is what got him here For the one who took his molly dear. (Chorus) Lonesome Red He rides although he's dead never again to rest his head Oh Lonesome Red Lonesome Red I'm headed West is what he said Not knowing what's ahead Oh Lonesome Red. "Molly would you be my wife? I'll give up this Outlaw life" He said to her but he didn't know She was on her way to Mexico. He found her with another man shot em both with his right hand He didn't know just what he'd done He'd killed the father of her son (Chorus) That son grew up to be a man He searched for Red across the land Found him riding to El Paso He made his plans to lay him low But Red was a hard man to kill His hand was fast. His eyes were steel He drew his gun but Red drew first Before he died he cast a curse "I hope you never find your peace and ride the plains without release" Red didn't know just what he'd done Forever to be the Lonesome one. (Chorus)

Nancy 03:25
Don't trade away the dreams you have today Don't back away, please won't you stay I think you should walk away (start running) Maybe you should run away (start hiding) What if I try to sway you (believe me) And what if I start to stray (don't believe me) Another notch on my belt And maybe I should go to hell Why can't you see our instant chemistry? Why don't you know just how far I'll go? Fine, stand your ground and see what you found I think you should walk away (start running) Maybe you should run away (start hiding) I'm a better person now, today (don't buy it) I know I found a better way (he's lying) The turn of the carrousel Maybe you should say farewell Maybe I'll stick around before I go underground Don't walk away Don't trade today Tomorrow never knows

There was a time, not long ago Where I could hide away and you'd never know I'd take the field, you'd take the hall You'd steal the bread, and I'd take the fall A yellow dress, ribbon of blue A gentle smile appears when I see you If I should fail, will you stand still? But if you look away, my heart will chill An iron man, a broken king A joker tells my tale, and I shall sing Of a wall of fire and a trail of tears A wave of arrows fly in a sea of fears A line of trees in the Sun at noon They pale compared to you under the Moon Under the Moon
5.
The vents are not a place to roam and even though we call it home It kills us No one takes the time to see us or to save us from the cold Deliver us from vacant eyes of cold and steely passersby The city stops for everyone but none sees or feels the Sun Under the Moon Where are the stars? A chance to see the world beneath your feet- a place to breathe Beneath the streets where no one wants to be, but here we are Living free The marrow takes our very bones and grinds them into cornerstones Of every single milestone the city takes for granted Under the sky We climb the spire on our own and take our chances all alone And even if we see the sky, the city bleeds us dry Under the Sun And under the Moon But where are the stars? You're lost when you are underground We can't be see, we can't be found No matter how you try to hide, the city finds you and your little dog too The hollows are your only chance to sing a song or learn to dance The city tries to smother at every turn, we will defy it Under the Sun And under the Moon And under the stars
6.
Walking along the trail, you come across a sign that leads you underground Is this a home for you? A living machine- a broken ingénue. Alone The towers and the bridges fall away The city holds the memories of everything that used to be You find yourself inside another dome that might show you what happened to me And all of my friends A story flows through your open mind- moving pictures and a song that lead the way The people and the voices fall away The Lunar path will hide the memories that used to be You wander through the streets at night You're looking for a clue that tells the story right The creatures and the forest come to life The balance of the world is everything that used to be Come and see
7.
Go and shutter the windows Go and close up the doors Winter has fallen upon us And I fear, my son, that the cold is not alone A fire up on the hilltop Calls me out of the cold Thieves and djinn don't alarm me As I make my way through this world My soul, above ground, will never grow old A child afraid in the branches A sister wants to take hold She tries to conceal her intentions The child was never there The sister wants to claim another soul The Ships on the sea taking water The sailors afraid to go home I swim to the floor and discover a woman holds the roped That drag them down And she won't let go There are worlds to discover If you want to live and be free But power steals all your freedom And pulls you down to be judged by your accomplishments and responsibilities

Walk with Me 03:15
If I want to learn to walk beside you I better learn to tie my shoes And I want to sing a song about you I better learn to sing the blues Maybe I should walk away to find my place or to decay Maybe I should tell a tale about you Demystify your new taboos And if you walk away holding on to something brand new Then maybe you'll walk away with me And if I turn your head, a chance to finally be mislead Then maybe you'll run away with me If you want to build a bridge to nowhere You better find a better view Take a chance on another nightmare And finalize our rendezvous Maybe you should confiscate my need to run or back away Maybe you should tell a tale about me Before I try to say adieu And if I walk away holding onto a piece of you Then maybe I'll wander through this dream And if you take my hand, I'll take this chance to understand you So maybe you'll run away with me If you want to build a bridge to nowhere You better find a better view And I want to sing a song about you I better learn to sing the blues Maybe you should confiscate my need to run or back away Maybe you should tell a tale about me Before I try to say adieu

verse 1: Can you walk through fire? Can you see through walls? Will the king admire you Should the ramparts fall? Did you take your time When you overthrew me In a dirty forest shrine and the morning dew? chorus: Just because you know me It doesn't make it true A fire can burn me as it burns you verse 2: You may steal my daughter And empty out my fold Drown my silver ducks in water Hoist my harp of gold If you break my kingdom If you fell my trees I shall bind you to a drum And sip your blood as tea verse 3: With a broken sigil And a page that's torn At a midnight vigil Lock the devil's horns Are you green with envy Fill your eyes with fire And your heart is a frenzy And your soul- a pyre

Broken faces on the Sun, even though we fight a war for the Moon What if we die today and change tomorrow yesterday? A death in June Take away my memories, I'll back them up and save the day And bleed the servers yesterday Break apart my symmetry. A program led me back to you And now I don't know what to do And who do I control? An empty palace underground, a virus spreading through the world It stains the light And even though my memories are broken down and rickety, I still remain Take away my memories, I'll write them down and burn the page And shatter bars inside this cage Take apart my history. I can't remember what to do The broken world we overthrew And who controls me now?
11.
What if we were to go down to the beach and take our shoes off? Walk through the sands? Maybe kick around in the ocean for a while Maybe find a sand dollar or two Doesn't that sound groovy? Somewhere between here and tomorrow Maybe we can find some common ground We can compose a common sound We can just ease the night away So Long, and thanks for all the fish My brain is filled with gibberish And so, I cast my final wish Can we just ease the night away I'll see you somewhere down the line
