Its nine o´clock on a saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
Theres an old man sitting next to me
Makin love to his tonic and gin

He says, son, can you play me a memory?
Im not really sure how it goes
But it´s sad and it´s sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger mans clothes

La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da


Sing us a song, you´re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we´re all in the mood for a melody
And you´ve got us feelin´ allright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And hes quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But theres someplace that hed rather be
He says, Bill, I believe this is killing me.
As the smile ran away from his face
Well I´m sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Sing us a song, you´re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we´re all in the mood for a melody
And you´ve got us feelin´ allright

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And hes talkin´ with davy whos still in the navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get´s stoned
Yes, they´re sharing a drink they call loneliness
But its better than drinkin´ alone

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da


Sing us a song, you´re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we´re all in the mood for a melody
And you´ve got us feelin´ allright

Its a pretty good crowd for a saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
´cause he knows that its me they´ve been comin to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, man, what are you doin´ here?

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da


Sing us a song, you´re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we´re all in the mood for a melody
And you´ve got us feelin´ allright

She works at hot topic
His heart microscopic
She thinks that its love but to him its sex
He listens to emo but fat mike's his hero
His bank account's zero
What comes next?

Same song different chorus

[Chorus:]
It's stupid, contagious
To be broke and famous
Can someone please save us from punk rock 101
My Dickies, your sweat pants
My spiked hair, your new Vans
Let's throw up our rock hands for punk rock 101

She bought him a skateboard, a rail slide, his knee tore
He traded it for drums at the local pawn shop
She left him for staring at girls and not caring
When she cried because she thought Bon Jovi broke up

Same song second chorus

[Chorus]

Don't forget to dely...on the very last word

Seven years later he works as a waiter
She married a trucker and he's never there
The story never changes, just the names and faces
Like Tommy and Gina they're living on a prayer

Did you just say that?
I said

[Chorus x2]

It's stupid, contagious (same song different chorus)
To be broke and famous (same song different chorus)
Can someone please save us from punk rock 101
My Dickies, your rock hands
My spiked hair, your new Vans
Let's shoplift some sweatbands for punk rock 101

We're gonna win
Don't wanna be a loser - gonna win
Cuz winnin' really is the only thing
Get out of the way we're comin' in
If ya wanna fight just step inside the ring
Does anybody wanna take a swing?
It's gotta be all or nothing
Oh we're gonna be the champions
Ya we're goin' all the way - we're gonna win win

We're gonna win
Forget about a draw - we're gonna score
And then we're gonna get a few more
Maybe another one just to be sure
We'll make ya look just like an amateur
Until the final whistle it's a war
And then we're gonna pick ya off the floor
We wanna hear the crowd really roar
Ya - we're comin' in we're gonna win win

We're gonna win - we wanna win
Cuz number one is everything
We're gonna win - we wanna win
We're gonna be the champions
We're gonna win

I almost got drunk at school at 14
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be miss texas
But lost to a slut with much bigger breastes
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished u would've loved me too

I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did 5 years and then 7 more
Cuz I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
Cuz he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on cuz you ran away
And I wish I woulda had the nerve to ask you to stay

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
I almost wish you would've loved me too

Here I go thinking about all the things I could've done
I'm gonna need a forklift cuz all the baggage weighs a ton
I know we had our problems I can't remember one

I almost forgot to say something else
And if I cant fit it in I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all up and then I threw it away

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
And I almost had you [x3]

I almost wish you would've loved me too

This is the song that reminds me of my trucker hat
That I used to wear not to block out the sun
With a john deere logo and a stain on the back
From where you laid me out flat one look I was done

And all these things mean nothing to me
When IÂ’m with you IÂ’ve got everything
I could want and I could need
Even God he would agree
You and I were meant to be
ItÂ’s easy to see

IÂ’ll never go out of style on you
And nothing really feels the way you do
Nothing in the world could ever make me look as good
When you fit me like you do

This is the verse about the Parachute pants
That I learned to break dance in and thought I was good
So much for believing the fat guy doesnÂ’t win
get the girl in the end I never thought that I could

And all these things mean nothing to me
When IÂ’m with you IÂ’ve got everything
I could want and I could need
Even God he would agree
You and I were meant to be
ItÂ’s easy to see

IÂ’ll never go out of style on you
And nothing really feels the way you do
Nothing in the world could ever make me look as good
When you fit me like you do

IÂ’m not the perfect guy
a little slow but IÂ’ve
Got perfect timing with you
Got perfect timing with you
Take a look around
Outside the in crowd
There aint nothing we cant do

[3X]
IÂ’ll never go out of style on you
And nothing really feels the way you do
Nothing in the world could ever make me look as good
When you fit me like you do

BOWLING FOR SOUP

"High School Never Ends"

Four years you think for sure
ThatÂ’s all youÂ’ve got to endure
All the total dicks
All the stuck up chicks
So superficial, so immature
Then when you graduate
You take a look around and you say HEY WAIT
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over
Aw thatÂ’s just great

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who‘s the best dressed and who‘s having sex,
Who‘s got the money, who gets the honeys,
Who‘s kinda cute and who‘s just a mess
And you still donÂ’t have the right look
And you donÂ’t have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends
High school never ends

Check out the popular kids
YouÂ’ll never guess what Jessica did
How did Mary Kate lose all that weight
And Katie had a baby so I guess TomÂ’s straight
And the only thing that matters
Is climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
DoesnÂ’t matter if youÂ’re sixteen or thirty-five

Reese Witherspoon,
SheÂ’s the prom queen
Bill Gates,
Captain of the chess team
Jack Black, the clown
Brad Pitt, the quarterback
IÂ’ve seen it all before
I want my money back

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With whoÂ’s the best dressed and whoÂ’s having sex,
WhoÂ’s in the clubs and whoÂ’s on the drugs,
WhoÂ’s throwing up before they digest
And you still donÂ’t have the right look
And you donÂ’t have the right friends
And youÂ’re still listen to the same shit you did back then
High school never ends

High school never ends

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who‘s the best dressed and who‘s having sex,
Who‘s got the money, who gets the honeys,
Who‘s kinda cute and who‘s just a mess
And I still donÂ’t have the right look
And I still have the same three friends
And IÂ’m pretty much the same as I was back then
High school never ends

High school never ends

High school never ends

Here we go again

I'm happy again to be stuck here again
And you're so happy again to be stuck here again
Now we can rap about "the good old days"
Laugh at dumb jokes that you make
It's great to be here and

I'm just elated to be someone you once hated
And its all so complicated
Maybe this time you can come outside your little world
Make out with another girl
If it were up to me

[Chorus]
I'd like to buy you flowers everyday
Make everyday a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you and the things you do
The things you do

Im so sorry again you say you're leaving me again
Cause you're not happy again
And I'm left stuck here again
Now you can scream about the little things
Slap me twice across the face
Man it would be great if I could

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Chorus (In Spanish)]
quería comprarte floras cada día hacer cada día una vacación
y habla más y más y más de ti y de los cosas que haces.

[Chorus]

Reverend, reverend,
Is this a conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
No revenge... beneath me.
Lost within my plans for life,
It all seems so unreal.
Im a man cut in half in this world,
Left in my misery.

(instrumental)

The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes.
Its nothing new for him to see,
I didnt ask him why.
I will remember...
The love our souls had sworn to make.
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see now is your (face).

Well I guess
You took my youth
And gave it all away.
Like the birth of a new found joy,
This love would end in rage...
And when she died
I couldnt cry,
The pride within my soul.
You left me incomplete
All alone as the memories now unfold.

Believe the word.
I will unlock my door...
And pass the cemetery gates.

Sometimes when Im alone,
I wonder aloud,
If youre watching over me
Some place far abound.
I must reverse my life
I cant live in the past.
Then set my soul free,
Belong to me at last.

Through all those complex years
I thought I was alone.
I didnt care to look around
And make this world my own...
And when she died
I shouldve cried and spared myself some pain.
You left me incomplete,
All alone as the memories still remain.

The way we were,
The chance to save my soul...
And my concern is now in vain.
Believe the word,
I will unlock my door...
And pass the cemetery... gates

(instrumental)

The way we were,
The chance to save my soul...
And my concern is now in vain.
Believe the word,
I will unlock my door...
And pass the cemetery...

Gates!

Gates!

Gates!

"Tipsy"

[Intro:]
Teen drinking is very bad.
Yo I got a fake ID though.
Yeeah, yeeah, yeeah, yo, 2 step with me, 2 step with me.

[Verse 1:]
1, here comes the 2 to the 3 to the 4,
Everybody drunk out on the dance floor,
Babygirl ass jiggle like she want more,
Like she a groupie and I aint even on tour,
Maybe cause she heard that I rhyme hardcore,
Or maybe cause she heard that I buy out the stores,
Bottom of the 9th and a nigga gotta score,
If not i gotta move on to the next floor ["whore" - dirty version],
Here comes the 3 to the 2 to the 1,
Homeboy trippin' he don't know I got a gun,
When it come to pop man we do shit for fun,
You aint got one nigga you betta run,
Now i'm in the back gettin head from my hunz,
While she goin down i'm breakin down what i done,
She smokin my blunt sayin she aint havin fun,
Bitch give it back now you don't get none.

[Chorus x4:]
Now everybody in the club ["in this bitch" - dirty version] gettin tipsy,
Everybody in the club ["in this bitch" - dirty version] gettin tipsy

[Verse 2:]
2, here comes the 3 to the 4 to the 5,
Now i'm lookin at shorty right in the eyes,
Couple seconds passed now i'm lookin at her thighs,
While she tellin me how much she hate her guy,
Said she got a kid but she got her tubes tied,
If you 21 girl that's alright,
I wonder if a shake comin with them fries,
If so baby can i get em super sized,
Here comes the 4 to the 3 to the 2,
She started feelin on my johnson right out the blue,
Girl you super thick so i'm thinkin that's koo,
But instead of 1 lifestyle i need 2
Her eyes got big when she glanced at my jewels,
Expression on her face like she aint got a clue,
And she told me she don't run with a crew,
You know how i do but i guess one gotta do.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
3, here comes the 4 to the 5 to the 6,
Self explanatory I ain't gotta say i'm rich,
This single man ain't tryna get hitched,
Nigga waste it on me man son of a bitch,
Brushed it all off now i'm back to gettin lit,
Grisa orange juice man this some good ish,
Homeboy trippin cause i'm starin at his chick,
Now he on the sideline starin at my clique,
Here comes the 5 to the 4 to the 3,
Hands in the air if you cats drunk as me,
Club on the set kwon cut out them trees,
Dude i don't care i'm a p.i.m.p.

[Chorus]

Everybody in the club ["in this bitch" - dirty version] gettin tipsy [x4]

1. Midnight

[FOREWORD: You cannot make Puppets out of dead people's bodies, and then bring them to life for real. Even if you could, DON'T TRY!!! The following story is mostly written from the nightmares of a sick child. A sick child, who still can't find the Light. Me.]

[Diamond/ Diamond]

Midnight...I see the snow that's falling
Midnight...Still hanging on this wall

I'm thinking back in time
To when there was still a life
Free of misery
Oh...But it was never to be

Midnight...I see the snow that's falling
Midnight...And still you're haunting me

I'm thinking back in time
To the cellar in the darkest night
All the misery
All...The blood I had to see

Midnight...Midnight...Midnight...Midnight...
They're ready for the show
Now the blood must flow
They're waiting above
Oh Noooo!

"Let the show begin"


2. The Puppet Master

[Diamond/ Diamond]

[solo: Mike]

Night time in Budapest
So many people are waiting in line
Darkness without a glow
What a night to be watching a Christmas show

What a magical mystery feeling
Dancing at the end of their silvery strings
Almost human in size
Like children with plague in their flesh
These Puppets are oh so grotesque

Night time in Budapest
The Puppet Theater is so dark inside
Gas lamps light the stage
We're watching as the curtain begins to rise

What a magical mystery feeling
Dancing at the end of their silvery strings
Almost human in size
Like children with plague in their flesh
These Puppets are so grotesque

Sssssshhhh...here come the Puppets
There is 1..2...I see 3 Puppets waiting in the wing
Then they start to walk, in line
And suddenly they're all on the stage
I see the Puppet Master high above on the walkway
He pulls one string and up goes a leg.. Down goes a head
He pulls one more and he lets them all go!

[solo: Andy]

No strings, none of them fall, no strings at all...

I take a look at the Little Drummer Boy, up on the stage.. Oh no
I think he looked at me.. ME, is he alive?
I get a little scared...as he starts to play his drum
On the skin of his hand, I see a little cut...BLOOD

[solos: Mike - Andy]

Night time in Budapest
So many things here are not what they seem
But we love them all
What a night to remember forevermore

What a magical mystery feeling
Dancing at the end of their silvery strings
Almost human in size
Like children with plague in their flesh
These Puppets are so grotesque

The show has come to an end
The Master himself is on the STAGE
With his CHILDREN, the curtain must fall
And then the Puppets they are...Gone


3. Magic

[La Rocque/ Diamond]

In the darkness...after the show
Outside the Theater, the air is damp and cold
All the people.. heading for home
They don't believe, that what they saw was MAGIC

Oh..it was Magic I know
This night was full of it, I never saw the undertow...No
Never saw the EVIL, never saw the EVIL
I never saw the EVIL down below

"I will never forget that night"
I saw the MAGIC in your eyes
We will never forget that night
We saw the MAGIC in each other's eyes

[solo: Andy]

In the darkness.. after the show
Outside the Theater, the air is damp and cold
All the people.. they are gone
Just you and me, and we believe in MAGIC

Oh.. it was Magic I know
Talking the night away, the things we like are all the same
Wanna get to know her, wanna get to know her
I gotta get to know her deep down inside

[solo: Mike]

Suddenly I feel so cold...it feels as if a Ghost is next to me
Cold breath in my ear, as it whispers: "KISS HER NOW"

Oh.. it was Magic I know
That kiss one year ago, a magic seal of our eternal love
Tonight she went to the Theater alone
But she never came home and I gotta find her now

"I will never forget that night"
I saw the MAGIC in your eyes
We will never forget that night
We saw the MAGIC in each other's eyes
"I will never forget that night"
I saw the MAGIC in your eyes
We will never forget that night
We saw the MAGIC in each other's eyes


4. Emerencia

[Diamond/ Diamond]

The shadows are thick and Old
I'm searching the dark for my love
Behind the Theater of Puppet Shows
I find the stairs to the Cellar below

Hiding where the shadows rule
A door opens below
The Moon is high above
300 pounds of flesh, that woman I know

Oh it's the Puppet Master's wife
She pulls a cart behind her
"Oh Emerencia", where are you going with that knife?

[solo: Mike]

Time to kill, it's time for her nightly thrill
"Oh Emerencia", where are you going with that knife?

Deep in the night through the narrowest streets
I follow her every step
She is searching for innocent victims
"Oh Emerencia"
In an alley a homeless is sleeping
Approaching without a sound...and then...oh no

"How strange it is.. to see.. a life that slips away
How strange it is.. in Darkness Blood is Black not Red"

[solo: Andy]

The knife is still deep in his chest
Gotta keep the Blood in its nest
She wraps him in the sack she brought
She better leave before she gets caught

Through the streets dark and Old
Through the streets, no one must know
Only the Moon and I
And none of us will ever tell
She pulls the body off the cart
Back at the Theater, down into the dark
"Oh Emerencia", I wonder why you left the door ajar

[solo: Andy]

Deep in the night through the narrowest hallways
I follow her every step
There's a light from a doorway ahead of us
Where did she go, where did she go...? Oh no
What I see is a Horror Show...then the blow...


5. Blue Eyes

[Diamond/ Diamond]

I open my eyes...I can barely see
I got a feeling inside
No one's here but me, no one's here but me...Ohhh

I'm stone cold...I must be lying on a floor
My hands are tied to the wall.. An Iron chain, I can't move at all
Oh...I remember, I must be in the Cellar

My eyes are sucking on the Dark to lighten the gloom
My eyes are no more blind, I can see what's in this room

Full of skeletons, dressed in human skin...
They're sitting on their shelves, a cellar full of Sin..
They're made from humans

"Ahh.. Ahh.. Ahh.."

So many Puppets here, there are eyes everywhere
There are eyes I recognize
Oh no, it's the eyes of my love.. The eyes of my love
Oh Victoria Nooooo

[solo: Andy]

My hands are tied to the wall.. An Iron chain, I can't move at all
Oh...I remember

[solos: Andy - Mike]

Full of skeletons, dressed in human skin:
They're sitting on their shelves, a cellar full of Sin..

I open my eyes.. I can barely see a thing
All the tears in my eyes, someone better say it's a dream

[solo: Mike]

"Blue eyes, blue eyes", blue eyes I recognize
"Blue eyes in the night"
They see nothing, and yet they're so alive

Blue eyes, they're so alive
All the tears in my eyes, someone better say it's a dream

"Blue eyes, blue eyes", blue eyes I recognize
"Blue eyes in the night"
They see nothing, and yet they're so alive
Yet they're so alive: yet they're so alive


6. The Ritual

[La Rocque/ Diamond]

As I look into the eyes of Victoria
Enter the Puppet Master and his wife
I can't speak...I'm in shock...

Human skulls, ancient books
A strange symbol on the wall, black candles burning low

In the gloomy light, I see an altar in white
Oh, what is it for? It must be a Ritual

In glass jars, up on shelves
I see liquid dark as Hell, there's one for every Puppet

I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times
I'm feeling strange inside
Oh...as if something has taken my mind

[solo: Andy]

I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times
I'm feeling strange inside
Oh...as if something has taken my mind
In panic, I kick the shelf.. with all the jars
One of them falls from high above.. to the floor
RED!! Oh so Red...it's BLOOD
"How dare you disturb my work"?

Demon skull, red as Blood
It's in the symbol on the wall, there's something deadly wrong

I feel a sting in my eyes, as they're given eternal life
All because of the Blood on the floor, interrupted Ritual

[solo: Mike]

I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times
I'm feeling strange inside
Oh...as if something has taken my mind
He lures away my soul, from its shelter and into the cold
To him my soul is gold
Trading souls with this Demon is something he knows
As well as Hell
Magic life.. is his return
Pain.. in my skin, SIN...
I feel some kind of Magic...inside


7. No More Me

[Diamond - Thompson/ Diamond]

Why am I strapped to this hospital bed?

"First your eyes, then your skin
We will make you feel.. born again.. No More Me my friend"

A shiny scalpel is in the Master's hand
His Wife has got the jars for Blood, she keeps one near
I fear for my life, No More Me
I fear there will be No More Me at all
Is this goodbye sweet life...

Ahhhhh...Scalpel cuts, eyelids drop
Into a jar...I'm crying Blood
Fingers pull my eyeballs out...
Scissors snap...I bleed a lot

They set my eyes into this Puppet's head
And still my eyes can see, I'm looking back.. at myself
And what I see is No More Me at all
I have no eyes

My veins...feel.. like worms
Drying in the sun... this takes too long
Stripping skin from all my bones
Pain too strong...my senses they go numb

All of my Blood is now in little jars
I should be dead by now, but I am still
I am still alive inside my eyes
And I see Emerencia throw my carcass in the trash


8. Blood To Walk

[Diamond/ Diamond]

Sitting in the cellar, watching all the others

It was only yesterday, needles in my skin
THEY turned my last remains into this Puppet thing

Blood to walk, blood to see
Blood to walk again and Blood to be

I can see, but I cannot move at all
Yet I have feelings, I know it's very strange

Blood to walk, blood to see
Blood to walk again and Blood to be

I'm on my shelf...Eternal eyes they never sleep
I take a look...and in the dark I see Victoria

[solo: Andy]

There is no mistake, that is my beloved
Sitting on her shelf.. alone and so dead

[solo: Mike]

There's a light outside the door
Mommy and Daddy are back for more.. "Let's play"

"Hello my children...In Blood I will teach you"

[solos: Mike - Andy]

THEY take Victoria down from her shelf
THEY sit her on the floor.. and me in front of her

Blood to walk, blood to see
Blood to walk again and Blood to be

There are strings attached to our heads
There are strings in arms and legs
The Puppet Master"s hands
Oh they keep us straight

Pressing the needle in...I feel the sting, it's Emerencia
Injecting Blood...Into the both of us...It's hot

I think I see her move
There's a tingle in our skin
I can't believe...That she can she again...

There is no mistake, that is my beloved
I have missed you so.. oh no
It's like a Horror Show without a word we know
As we communicate.. with our eyes.. deep inside
We wonder why

Why our minds are now in our eyes
We can move without any strings

"They're alive...that's enough for today.. put them away"


9. Darkness

[La Rocque/ Diamond]

For 13 days.. we have trained and trained
We're learning to walk again, we're learning to stretch our skin

Every time THEY bring us back to life
Little jars come down from the shelves
Every time we feel the sting
Every time we feel the Blood going in

Our eyes are now our minds
Our Souls.. are in our magical skin
The Blood THEY use must come from our own
Living just an hour, then we fade again

"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die again
"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die and die and die again

Darkness...Darkness

Every night Victoria and I
We spend what's left of the Blood in our systems
Sitting on opposite shelves
Talking with our eyes, trying to remember
It is all that we've got

Our eyes are now our minds
Our Souls.. are in our magical skin
We're living through our memories
And it's worth it...

"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die again
"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die and die and die again

Darkness...Darkness
The Puppet Master is hear again

[solo: Andy]

[P.M.:] "Tonight you will dance for me Puppet Girl
Tonight.. no strings attached"

"But I can't, never did I dance, oh I don't have a chance"

[P.M.:] "Dance"

"I take a step, oh I try my best
I stumble into the shelves with all the jars"
6...6 of them coming down
Broken glass and Puppet life is on the floor

"In the Darkness we live out lives"
[P.M.:] "Send her far away, far away from here"
"In the Darkness we live our lives"
[P.M.:] "To the other theater.. tomorrow morning she must be gone
Send her to Berlin...send that Puppet to Berlin"


10. So Sad

[Ghost's song]

[Diamond/ Diamond]

I am sitting in the Dark, I'm with my Love
We are looking into each other's eyes
I know if THEY take her away, there is no life
Take her away and I die

"Tell me this is not goodbye"
Do you remember the Butterfly
"It made me cry"
I know...but we dried it's wings so it could fly again

[solo: Andy]

I wonder if this is the end, for You and I
I know we've got to say goodbye
I know that I would change my life.. for You
I would die for you

"I will always remember the things we used to do
All the memories I keep in here, just for me and You
With your image in my eyes
I take You with me when it's time to go"

I swear...I swear I'll find You
I'll keep on searching, searching till the end of time
"And if I can't survive without You by my side"
Then wait for me, wait for me
Wait on the other side.. I'll be there

"I can barely see You anymore"
You must remember the Butterfly, it did not die
"I Love You" ... I Love you Too
"I can't see You anymore"

Goodbye My Love

"Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King...Oh when we come"

[solo: Mike]

It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul

It's Christmas again...It'll never be the same

And as the snow is falling from the sky
All I wanna do is cry
I got to get away from here
I gotta get away........

By tomorrow, I will be gone
By tomorrow, I'll see the sun again
But tonight...I am...The Little Drummer boy

Tonight...I am...the one who will destroy

The secrets never told before
Of those who lost their souls
There are sad things in the Darkness
There are sad things all around us

It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul

It's Christmas again... It'll never be the same

[solo: Andy]

"Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King..."
Now here I go
I'm falling on my face, drum breaking on the stage
Oh My God it's such a big disgrace

It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul

[solo: Mike]


12. Living Dead

[Diamond/ Diamond]
["Outro music" by La Rocque]

Same old wall, still hanging tall
Same old nail.. through my throat
Eighteen years came along
And this time I never
I never saw my Love

I'm going insane
THEY sold me to this little shop
Where I remain

Living Dead...I'm feeling like a Living Dead
Living Dead...Two blue eyes in an empty head
Dead Dead Dead

Eighteen years came along
And this time I never
I never saw my Love
This life is NOTHINGNESS
Life on a wall, time to be called back.. to the Beyond

[solos: Andy - Mike - Andy ]

There's a rumour going around and around
They say The Puppet Master
Is gonna build another theater in London Town

For Kids
Run by his son and daughter
It's gonna be a bloody mess

Living Dead...I'm feeling like a Living Dead
Living Dead, Living
Forever on the same old wall
Forever with that nail going through my throat

All the children, who see me in this shop
They are scared of me, they say I'm looking sick
My eyes follow them
Never to be sold again

Life is never fair...Life is air

"Will I ever see his eyes again
Will I ever see him again"

Where is she now... "Where is he now"...
