Madam, I'm Adam
Lost cigarettes and I’m aching
Don’t think I can’t tell your faking
Bridge is heavy with traffic tonight
Kinda like my state of mind
Cruel how you left me so cheap and
Oh so neatly
Stamped out the naked flame
Somehow you read me
So brief and oh so neatly
Steppin’ up to carry the blame
And I flagged a ride to the other side
Ended up on a distant shore
Adam smiled, said stay for a while
Let the crime lay down the law
The next thing I was waking
I held it firm my hand was shaking
Head first through the fading light
Sit back enjoy the right
Cruel how you left me
So weak and oh so neatly
Hid my face from the shame
Somehow you read me
Fleeting but oh so cheaply
All the time against the grain
I flagged a ride to the other side
Ended up on a different shore
Adam smiled
Said stay for a while
Let the crime lay down the law
And I’m paralysed by this sweet decline
Could it be that I wanted more
I’ll sacrifice, what I know to be right
Just to be more self assured
Don’t think I can’t tell your faking
Bridge is heavy with traffic tonight
Kinda like my state of mind
Cruel how you left me so cheap and
Oh so neatly
Stamped out the naked flame
Somehow you read me
So brief and oh so neatly
Steppin’ up to carry the blame
And I flagged a ride to the other side
Ended up on a distant shore
Adam smiled, said stay for a while
Let the crime lay down the law
The next thing I was waking
I held it firm my hand was shaking
Head first through the fading light
Sit back enjoy the right
Cruel how you left me

Hid my face from the shame
Somehow you read me

All the time against the grain

Scaffold
I say, I say
You’ll never drag me away
I say, I say
You’ll never drag me away
Walking through the scaffold
I see so many tears
It’s hard to believe that
They want her gone
As far as I can see
The only crime that she
Is guilty of
Is having caused no harm
I say, I say
You’ll never drag me away
‘Cause I’m standing on the shore
Where I’ve never been before
I’ll never let these waters be my grave
Walking down the broken path
I see so many tears
It’s hard to believe that they want her gone
As far as I can see
The only crime that she
Is guilty of is having caused no harm
I say, I say
You’ll never drag me away
I say, I say
You’ll never drag me away
I’ve been through this
I’ve been through that
I’ll never let these waters be my grave
Walking through the scaffold
I see so many tears
It’s hard to believe that
They want her gone
As far as I can see
The only crime that she
Is guilty of
Is having caused no harm
You’ll never drag me away
I say, I say
You’ll never drag me away

Gravity
I gotta feel it
Deep in my soul
I gotta feel it
Down in my own heart
Deep in the night‘s where I carry your flame
I’ve buried all my weakness
My strength will remain
People are watching and they don’t care
When I open my heart there
Taste the wine that we share
On and on, my soul to bare
Ya look at him with stars in your eyes
I turn away it’s gonna be alright
Ya say tomorrow today not to fight it
Your ends beginning yeah
With what you say
I gotta feel it
Down in my soul
I gotta feeling
Down in my own heart
I’m reaching out
But your pushing at me
Feeding a hunger
That’s inside of me
Crying for reasons
That don’t seem to be
You’ve got me swimming in
Breathless gravity
Ya look at him with stars in your eyes
I turn away it’s gonna be alright
Ya say tomorrow today not to fight it
Your ends beginning yeah
With what you say
I gotta feeling
Down in my soul
I gotta feeling
Down in my own heart
Dark and black and cruel
Tastes of thunder
Keep my head up
Looking out from under
Running with reality
You’ve got me hooked
On hopes unseen
I gotta feeling
Down in my soul
I gotta feel it
Down in my own heart
Dark and black and cruel
Tastes of thunder
Keep my head up
Looking out from under
Running with reality
You’ve got me hooked
On hopes unseen
I’ve got a feeling
I’ve gotta feel it
Deep in my soul
I gotta feel it
Down in my own heart
Deep in the night‘s where I carry your flame
I’ve buried all my weakness
My strength will remain

The Pain
I was raised on an ounce of praise
Ya get it where you can
Dismal is as dismal does
We dropped and we ran
The chase is on, the chase is on
The chains are gone
Fit to blame the price of fame
Get it where I am
Righteous is as righteous does
That is where I stand
The race is on, the race is on
The chains are gone
Right or wrong, like on and on
Fortunes lost and won
I never knew a million miles away
Could be in the same city
She never looked as beautiful
As the day she said goodbye
Goodbye
Out of the grave, onto the stage
The world’s greatest music fan
Angry is as angry does
Gone and trashed the plan
Shining on, we’re shining on
The blame has gone
Right or wrong, goes on and on
Fortunes lost and won
I never knew a million miles away
Could be in the same city
She never looked as beautiful
As the day she said goodbye
I never knew a million miles away
Could be in the same city
She never looked as beautiful
As the day she said goodbye
Another shot for the pain
For the pain
Another shot for the pain
Another shot
Ya get it where you can
Dismal is as dismal does
We dropped and we ran
The chase is on, the chase is on
The chains are gone
Fit to blame the price of fame
Get it where I am
Righteous is as righteous does
That is where I stand
The race is on, the race is on
The chains are gone
Right or wrong, like on and on
Fortunes lost and won
I never knew a million miles away
Could be in the same city
She never looked as beautiful
As the day she said goodbye

Another shot for the pain
For the pain
Another shot for the pain
Another shot
WTF?
Can’t deny another choice
One more shot for the winning
With every race you’ve used your voice
The scene is set for a new beginning
Since the time
I don’t recall
First ones in, their sinners
With every song you’ve hit a wall
The trip ahead, turns unhindered
Why the face? A distant beat
Why the face? An escapee
You’re misery is on a one way street
I’m so glad you’re here with me
Ya fit my life so perfectly
I’m glad we got the chance to meet
Wash away the tears
Let’em fall to the ground
Let’em fall
Once behind to them undone
Heaven’s not for the living
All the songs you’ve ever sung
Stepping up, all’s misgiven
Why the face? A distant beat
Why the face? An escapee?
You’re misery is on a one way street
I’m so glad you’re here with me
Ya fit my life so perfectly
I’m glad we got the chance to meet
Wash away the tears
Let’em fall to the ground
Let’em fall
Let‘em fall
Why the face? A distant beat
Why the face? An escapee?
You’re misery is on a one way street
I’m so glad you’re here with me
Ya fit my life so perfectly
I’m glad we got the chance to meet
Wash away the tears
Let’em fall to the ground
Let’em fall
Let’em fall
Let’em fall
Let’em fall
One more shot for the winning
With every race you’ve used your voice
The scene is set for a new beginning
Since the time
I don’t recall
