Urban Angel

Urban Angel

Snow falls on New York
And the lights all go out
All the music suddenly stops
Now there isn’t a single sound
We are no longer rushing around
We stop to smell the air
Take a breath and close our eyes
For a moment if we dare

She pulls us in
And wraps us in her chill
She holds us close
And now we can be still
We’re okay here
We’ll stay here
For a little longer

We embrace this common ground
All a little lost
Somehow it fits
She holds part of all of us
Forever and content

No matter how many times I leave
I always hear her voice calling me
I could be a million miles away
But its here, I'll always have a place

Rest Easy

Heart beat in harmony
You have been a light every day
Heart beat in harmony
You have been a light in every way

You are my weak in the knees
Run away
I cannot breathe
I won’t be afraid of this feeling
In your eyes I can rest easy
Rest easy…

Lovely and imperfect
You looked into my soul and read its words
Lovely and imperfect
You looked into my soul and read its words

No One Else

Butterflies
Gravity pulls me into
Anticipate
Our first touch sweet and so new
Let’s figure out how to make this forever
Oh this is making me crazy

Hey love
I am at the point of no restraint
Let’s just make a move and feel the earth quake

It’s just you and me
And no one else
It’s just you and me
You and me

Slowly now
We shouldn’t let this go too fast
Bring me out of this shell
Take off my mask
This is us intertwined and on fire
I cannot stop
I’m consumed with desire

Faith

I feel a wave of destiny wash over my helpless body
I can’t seem to find my way
The air is thick and foggy
What do you say, do you say to fate
What do you say, do you say to fate

All these thoughts abound my mind
I wait for rescue and for a sign
I cannot kneel, I’m out of time
I’m face to face with my insides

I felt so bound by mindless ways
As life unfolds so does my faith
I’ve burned all paths that lead to peace
Now all of them feel sympathy

I’m singled out
My soul is pinned
I’m trapped in a state of question
I try to run away
But finding an answer beckons
How do you try, do you try to live
How do you try, do you try to live

How did I get here
Don’t turn back

I’m feeling rage of a hurricane
I never thought it’d be this way
But now it is, and what to say
There’s nothing so I must escape
Now where is peace and what is fair
Should we just march without a care
And go where we are told to go
Without a thought, without saying no

Waking Dream

Pinch me
Is this real
This feeling of release
I’m floating in your heaven
In the corners of my dreams

Tasting life
Numb again
Close my eyes
It begins…

I cannot stumble here
I am safe inside my head
When I wake up Ill forget
I’ll come back to my mess

I will not leave
Stay asleep
Slip further in
My ecstasy

Safe inside my mind I hide…

Circles

This chapter is over
He’s not coming home
Her heart in her throat
She falls to the floor

She shuns every memory
Every letter and call
Just to get through each second
She is slowly shutting off

Where is her sweet revenge
Who will she blame
Where is her freedom now
How can she reclaim it

He wipes the sweat from her face
As she moans in pain
A tiny and helpless life
Comes as if to say

Here is your sweetest gift
Take this moment it is safe
Its true pure and beautiful
In return for all of your pain

Eyes wide and heart warm
She sees him in her face
If you watch the way the world gives back
In circles you will trace

Quicksand

I must have been so stupid
I must have been so out of touch
He must have been so clever
Convincing me that this was really love

Desperate for words
Lost in a maze
It fell apart
I lost my place
It hurt so bad
I cried for days
Time healed all pain
Now I’m okay

How many times can my heart break
Disillusioned by the thought of flawless love
Will I every get there
Or am I drowning in quicksand
With no relief to come

I’ll rise from all my sorrow
Let the sun shine on my face
All alone in comfort
Its my solitude I will embrace

I will rise from my sorrow…

Right Here

I’ve had something
I’ve had nothing
You have everything
You sit there mumbling

Come back to reality
Wake up from your lucid dream
It’s a crime and such a waste
All you do is take

I am right here
But you don’t see me
You’re blinded by doubt
And selfish greed

Red

Red has taken us over
Reach in and steal whatever we can
So this is the feeling of power
Who can we break to stay at the top?

Hearts of stone will always be shattered
Turns around
Eyes of greed will always go blindly
Turns around

Feel the blood trickle down your back
You turn around and they’re daring you to react
So this is the feeling of power
Who can we break to stay at the top?

Hearts of stone will always be shattered
Turns around
Eyes of greed will always go blindly
Turns around
Threads of silk will someday grow tattered
Turns around
Few will learn what really matters

Color Blind

Colorblind
I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready I am

Taffy stuck and tongue tied
Stutters shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready I am
Colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside

I am folded
And unfolded
And unfolding I am colorblind
I am fine

Not the End

His heart is extinguished
Once set aflame
His hope has no fizzled
This is the furthest he’s been from sane
He waits each day for the rain
All is fading off to grey
A cold heart
A closed door
Nothing there to light his way

Show your soul boy
Let the sun shine again
Come out from the darkness
You have your whole life to live
This is not the end

He tries to forget them
And now the tears fall down his face
The past that taunts him
Now he is desperate for escape

Show your soul boy
Let the sun shine again
Come out from the darkness
You have your whole life to live
This is not the end

Sanckens Doll

As the sun goes down
And he sends his stars without a sound
I will wait for you angel
To escape with you angel

You are far too much beauty
For this world
The sky prefers you
So you can soar

Flew towards the moon in the sky
It’s light as bright as your eyes
Then I prayed for you
Angel
To escape with you
Angel

You are far too much beauty
For this world
The sky prefers you
So you can soar

Fly away angel
Don’t be afraid angel

With You

Lost My Shadow

I wanted something better
No more monotony
I need to find my way

I lost my shadow somewhere
Now I am incomplete
This place is wearing me thin

My shadow sleeps on the outside
She is far away
Her strength is fading fast

She says "it's cold and I'm so tired"
She's all I ever had
Now she might not come back

He cut her free
It felt so wrong
But I didn't say a thing
Now I am walking shadow-less streets
Without her here to keep me company

Come back to me...

She's got every single memory
My mind is empty
When she's not with me

If she fades she takes me with her
But I'm not ready
Don't take my past from me

He cut her free
It felt so wrong
But I didn't say a thing
Now I am walking shadow-less streets
Without her here to keep me company

Come back to me...

Pink Neon

Pink neon lights
Glow in the skyline
It's our night
Let's play 'til daylight
Do this right
'Cause it's the last time

From dusk 'til dawn
Now we are ready
Take this on
The beat's so heavy
Do this right
'Cause it's the last time

Don't think about a single thing
We know what this night's gonna bring

We're spinning round (before the night fades)
Spinning round (before the day breaks)
Spinning round (before it's too late)

Pink neon lights
Glow in the skyline
It's our night
Let's play 'til daylight

Do this right
'Cause it's the last time

The only thing that matters
What's going down tonight
We're gonna make this one count
The city's ours tonight

Pink neon lights
It's our night
Do this right
'Cause it's the last time

Now or Never

I’m on the edge of this bridge
When I jump will I sing or will I swim
I’ll take a chance this once
Life’s too short to sit and wish

Why have I felt afraid
Doubt has always stared me in the face
No I can’t wait anymore
This is mine for the taking

I’m gonna jump in
I’m gonna begin
It’s now or it’s never
It’s now or it’s never

I’m not gonna wait
I’m gonna be brave
It’s now or it’s never
It’s now or it’s never...

I’ve clung to what I know
There’s so much more that I want to explore
Safe and sound weighs me down
Gotta let it go so I won’t drown

I’m gonna jump in
I’m gonna begin
It’s now or it’s never
It’s now or it’s never

I’m not gonna wait
I’m gonna be brave
It’s now or it’s never
It’s now or it’s never...

Too Late

You only want me ‘cause you can’t have me
I was there for a while just waiting
I moved on and now you’re wishing you had the opportunity

You only want me cause you can’t have me
I’m sorry I am not for the having
You sadly failed to see
Now you are wishing
Wishing

You could have had a taste
Love was staring you in the face
But you chose to walk away
Walk away

And I wasn’t gonna wait
And now you’re too late
Too late

You only want me cause you can’t have me
I saw the game that you played
Didn’t fool me
Now you’re the one left standing all alone
All alone

You don’t know what you want ‘til it’s gone
Too bad I’ve been there all along
I already stopped waiting for you
So long ago
So long ago

You could have had a taste
Love was staring you in the face
But you chose to walk away
Walk away

And I wasn’t gonna wait
And now you’re too late
Too late
And I wasn’t gonna wait
And now you’re too late
Too late

Over And Under

What's this
Again
I've heard this so many times
You're scared
I'm tired
I can't reach in and find
A way to say
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time

You send me over and under
Over and under
Over and under
You send me over and under
Over and under
Over and under

I've always helped you
I've always listened
Your words repeating
Stagnant and distant
Now we are stuck
Right where we started
Damage is done
This is the last time
(this is the last time, this is the last time)
This is the last time
(this is the last time, this is the last time)

It's gone too long
Why don't we stop
We can't go on
We've hit the end

You send me over and under (and over)
Over and under (and under)
Over and under (and over and under)
You send me over and under (and over)
Over and under (and under)
Over and under (and over and under)

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***

With You

We’ve come a long, long way
I must say
We’ve come a long, long way
Love takes time and time is on our side
Time is on our side

I was all alone and I didn’t have a place
You came into my life and then everything changed
Love this strong never fades
Holds onto your life doesn’t go away

We’ve come a long, long way
I must say
We’ve come a long, long way
Love takes time and time is on our side
Time is on our side

I was all alone and I didn’t have a place
You came into my life and then everything changed
Love this strong never fades
Holds onto your life doesn’t go away

With you
This world is a better place
This world is a better place with you

Empty Road

I hear the sound of distant cars
Headlights flicker in the dark
I’ve been waiting, waiting for you
Waiting for you

One of a thousand promises
I’m alone and I am stoned from
The silence of our empty road
Empty road

Maybe it’s time for me to tell you
Cause you never thought to ask
I’ve finally figured out you’re not coming back
So I’ll move on
But I’ll sure miss what we had

You were a best friend
I loved you well
Don’t forget
The good life that we once had
We once had

You gave me a safe place
But often circumstances change
Now I’m gonna take my life back
Cause I gave too much of it away

I hear the sound of an empty road
Tied in suspense
But you’ll never show

I hear the sound of distant cars
Headlights flicker in the dark
I’ve been waiting, waiting for you
I’ve been waiting

Ordinary

You’ve got a new haircut
New jeans
You’re polished to a tee
You say you did it just for me
How unnecessary
I liked you anyway
But now you’re lost your brains
Where did my boyfriend go?
I think he’s gone insane

I can tell you think you’re such a prince
You’ll never see
You’re ordinary just like me
So ordinary
You could say otherwise
I’ll always recognize
You’re ordinary just like me
So ordinary

You’re walking ‘round this town like you’re a living dream
I don’t care who you think you are honestly
I know some other girls are prettier than me
But you won’t see me worry
I won’t change a thing
Oh no
I won’t change a thing

I can tell you think you’re such a prince
You’ll never see
You’re ordinary just like me
So ordinary
You could say otherwise
I’ll always recognize
You’re ordinary just like me
So ordinary

I think you’ve lost your mind
Tight jeans, haircut oh please
You’re such a prince but you’re no prince
Just ordinary

Hypnotize

Hypnotize me
Stupefied
Yea you’ve got me stupefied
Hypnotized
Oh you’ve got me hypnotized

The way he moved will never leave my mind
He hypnotized me
And now I’m on this high

Stupefied
Yea you’ve got me stupefied
Hypnotized
Oh you’ve got me hypnotized

When our eyes met
I knew I could never look away
I could feel his heat and I began to shake
I never knew a man could have such an effect
He shook me up
Now I’ll never be the same

Do you feel the power of what you’re doing to me
I am helpless to your touch
Your electricity
I never knew a man could have such an effect
You shook me up
Now I’ll never be the same

You shook me up
You shook me
You shook me up
You shook me

By & By

I’ve been on the edge of my chair
Waiting for circumstance to be kind
All this time I’ve been waiting
Wishing wishes
Now I’m jaded sitting here
On the edge of my chair

All the while
Life continued without me
The world went by and by

My mind feels like an empty room
I’m the only one inside and my thoughts are cruel
Waiting has become my prison
I feel unbearably distant
Sitting here on the edge of my chair

The world went by and by
The world went by and by
All the while life continued without me
The world went by and by

Monarch

Poison
Into my eyes
Swallow
All of the lies
I’m trying my hardest
Not to be a target
Don’t try to save me
I’m going my own way

You must think that I’m a fool
Butterfly in winter out of my cocoon
Now the wind blows so bitterly
I will never know my destiny

I could have gone your way
Something inside wasn’t right
I tried to please you
To do just as you asked
I followed you
I swear I tried my best

You must think that I’m a fool
Butterfly in winter out of my cocoon
Now the wind blows so bitterly
I will never know my destiny

Now the world is mine
I’m flying all alone
I can see for miles clearly in the glow
You may think I’m scared but I know I am okay
In this moment I am safe

Only Love

Your palace may fall
Remember to keep standing tall
You’ll treasure the good things
The pain a grain of salt

You are so small
Your heart is brand new
And I will protect it with all that I’ve got
I only hope that you will feel love
Only love

There may come a day
You’ll want to hide away
They might hurt your heart
But I know you’ll find your place

You are so small
You’re heart is brand new
And I will protect it with all that I’ve got
I only hope that you will feel love
Only love

I hope we find what it is we’re looking for
I know this is right
This is right
When you smile
All my doubts melt away
So unsure of it all until I see your face

Spark

Uptight

Hush
You’re talking nonsense
I’m going nowhere
We are a storm sometimes

Hey
Let me touch you
No need to feel uptight

I don’t wanna fight tonight
Come here warm me up inside
It’s wrong
Let me make it right

Stay in
Babe it’s snowing
Your heart
Need to know that

I don’t wanna fight tonight
Come here warm me up inside
It’s wrong
Let me make it right

Stay here
We’ll hold each other tight
To keep
The love we want in sight
It’s wrong
Let me make it right

You’re uptight
Let me make it right

I don’t wanna fight tonight
Come here warm me up inside
It’s wrong
Let me make it right

Stay here
We’ll hold each other tight
To keep
The love we want in sight
It’s wrong
Let me make it right

I don’t wanna fight tonight
Come here warm me up inside
It’s wrong
Let me make it right

Stay here
We’ll hold each other tight
To keep
The love we want in sight
It’s wrong
Let me make it right

You’re uptight
Let me make it right, right

Mars

Have you seen yourself from Mars
Will you ever know how tiny you are
Floating out among the stars
Will we ever learn how lucky we are

Have you sailed around the world
Did you know what you were floating toward
The ocean never knew your name
Underneath the blue we’re all the same

There is only one of you
There is only one today
Don’t we see that we can shine so brightly
So why are we still so afraid

We build rockets out of hope
But never seem to get them in the air
And all our dreams are left to rust
Up at the Milky Way we sit and stare

One day we’ll see what it is we can be
One day we’ll see what it is we can be...

Cool Kids

Sound the alarm I’m an open door tonight
You are the spark and I’m the gasoline
So much to taste so c’mon lets take a bite
No one to say who we should or shouldn’t be

I’m going to the city

Work everyday just to play on the weekend
Make that bread and spend it quickly

I’m going to the city
I’m going to the city

Where the cool, cool, cool, cool, cool kids are
Where the whisky flows like a waterfall
I’m going
I’ll tell you what I want
I’ll tell you what I want
I’ll tell you what I
Where the cool, cool, cool, cool, cool kids are

Lost with friends on a concrete playground
Stars in our eyes like when we were children
Who’s that boy with the Zeppelin T-Shirt
I’ll shoot him a smile cause I’ve got that feeling

I’m going to the city
I’m going to the city

Where the cool, cool, cool, cool, cool kids are
Where the whisky flows like a waterfall
I’m going
I’ll tell you what I want
I’ll tell you what I want
I’ll tell you what I

Give me gorgeous girls in a dirty room
And the joint’s so packed we can hardly move
I’m going
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Where the cool, cool, cool, cool, cool kids are

Where the cool, cool, cool, cool, cool kids are
Where the whisky flows like a waterfall
I’m going
I’ll tell you what I want
I’ll tell you what I want
I’ll tell you what I

Give me gorgeous girls in a dirty room
And the joint’s so packed we can hardly move
I’m going
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Where the cool, cool, cool, cool, cool kids are

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Where the cool, cool, cool, cool, cool kids are

Sunday Afternoon

I put on my dress
Pull up my white tights
My mother braids my hair
Maybe I’ll feel him this time

I raise my hands
I close my eyes
But I feel empty inside

I’m looking for God
In this building filled with pews
I’m searching for God
On a Sunday afternoon

I put on my shorts
And my tie-dyed t-shirt
A six pack and cigarettes
And my best friend on the roof deck
The distant church bells ring
We catch a buzz and start to sing

I’m looking for God
In this bottle filled with booze
I’m searching for God
On a Sunday afternoon
Sunday afternoon

Be a good girl now
You’ll earn your crown
You’re gonna walk streets of gold
Do what you’re told

Be a good girl now
You’ll earn your crown
You’re gonna walk streets of gold
Do what you’re told

We pack a bag
Sweater and snowshoes
I’ll braid my hair
As he drives us to the mountains
The peaks like temples
Touch the sky
The trees so old, so wise

I’m searching for God
In a forest filled with truth
I’m looking for God
On a Sunday afternoon
I’m searching for God
And I know you’re searching too

Against The Wall

I’m onto you
Come on let's touch
And feel the rush

So wrong but so true
You’ve been wanting me
And I’ve been wanting you

Oh I’ve got to have you
'Cause you're in my head
In my head

Oh I’ve got to feel you
Feel you in my hands
In my hands

Set me up against the wall
Right now, right here
Kiss me like I know you’ve wanted to for so long
One more inch our bodies touch, your lips to my ear
Tell me that you want me, I’m right here

I’m onto you
The way you stare
When I catch you you don’t care now
Just make your move

Oh I’ve got to have you
'Cause you're in my head
In my head

Oh I’ve got to feel you
Feel you in my hands
In my hands

Set me up against the wall
Right now, right here
Kiss me like I know you’ve wanted to for so long
One more inch our bodies touch, your lips to my ear
Tell me that you want me
Come on tell me, tell me, tell me

And you know I’ve been waiting and waiting
And I just wanna hear you say it say it

Oh I’ve got to have you
'Cause you're in my head
In my head

Oh I’ve got to feel you
Feel you in my hands
In my hands

Set me up against the wall
Right now, right here
Kiss me like I know you’ve wanted to for so long
One more inch our bodies touch, your lips to my ear
Tell me that you want me, I'm right here

Set me up against the wall
Right now, right here
Kiss me like I know you’ve wanted to for so long
One more inch our bodies touch, your lips to my ear
Tell me that you want me, I'm right here
I'm right here, I'm right here

I Found You

I couldn’t look in their eyes as I said goodbye
I traded Indiana for the city skyline
Knocked on the door of my new home
Had dinner with four strangers
They asked me why I moved out here
I didn’t know it then but I was searching for love
Love, love, love

Even rainbows reach down from the blackest clouds
I had to cross a bridge with you to see the laugh lines around your mouth
We snuck away at a fancy party
I played for you and you kissed me
I took the test, it said yes
You held me all night
You were happy

Love, love
It was love yeah
Love, love, love
Kind of feels like
Starlight
It's like I’m breathing for the first time
We’re all right
We’re all right
'Cause I found you

We started losing touch so we drove away one night
Standing in the darkness he pointed up into the sky

Love, love
It was love yeah
Love, love
Kind of feels like
Starlight
It's like I’m breathing for the first time
We’re all right
We’re all right

Yeah feels like starlight
It's like I’m breathing for the first time
We’re all right
We’re all right
'Cause I found you

Experimental Love

A dash of heat
A pinch of tease
Give a stir
It’s not right

Slow it down
Let's keep our cool
We’ll fool around
Give it time

Experimental love, love
Come on we’ll mix it up, up
We’ll tweak it til it’s lust, lust
Experimental love, love

Calculate
Formulate
Heat it up
Then taste

Not quite right
Another try
Til we both feel
Tingle numb

Let's take our time
We’ll make it right
We’ve got all night
No need to rush
This love is new
There are no rules in

Experimental love, love
Come on we’ll mix it up, up
We’ll tweak it til it’s lust, lust
Experimental love, love

Experimental love, love
Come on we’ll mix it up, up
We’ll tweak it til it’s lust, lust
Experimental love, love

Galapogos

Ain’t it funny how we pretend we’re still a child
Softly stolen under our blanket skies
Rescue me from me
And all that I believe

I won’t deny the pain
I won’t deny the change
And should I fall from grace
Here with you
Would you leave me too

Carve out your heart for keeps
In an old oak tree
Hold me for goodbyes
And whispered lullabies

Tell me I am still
The one I’m supposed to be

I won’t deny the pain
I won’t deny the change
And should I fall from grace
Here with you
Would you leave me too
Would you leave me too

Too late to turn back now
I’m running out of sound
And I am changing, changing

And if we died right now
This fool you love somehow
Is here with you
I’m here

I won’t deny the pain
I won’t deny the change
And should I fall from grace
Here with you
Would you leave me too
Would you leave me too

Non Albums Tracks

Crush

Sweet like a warm summer rain
I cannot deny
Crush the innocence of me
Release what's inside

This is strong and sweet
I wanna keep it going
Stop the noise in our heads
Just take it in
I know I've been so good
Walked the straight and narrow
I cannot turn away
From what's within

Oh I've sinned
I've sinned against my youth
I won't apologize for what is right
Bit the apple just for you
My desire won that fight

This is strong and sweet
I wanna keep it going
Stop all the noise in our heads
Just take it in
I know I've been so good
Walked the straight and narrow
I cannot turn away
From what's within

You could take me anywhere
I'll let you take me anywhere

You could take me anywhere
I'll let you take me anywhere

You could take me anywhere
I'll let you take me anywhere

This is strong and sweet
I wanna keep it going
Stop all the noise in our heads
Just take it in
I know I've been so good
Walked the straight and narrow
I cannot turn away
From what's within
