On his way to dinner when
It took him by surprise
And with one pull of the trigger
He would vanish overnight

Dancing by the roadside
Holding on for dear life
Then a gun from out of nowhere
Made a widow of his wife

I don't mind single file down
The runway
Feelin' fine and I'll see you
My friend
Over and Over again

Who can we get on the case?
We need Perry Mason

There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinnable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs
Or unsingable songs
There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable Gods
There are no unnameable names
Shall I say it agin? Yeah
There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don't ask much

I just want you
I just want you

There is a person living in my head
She comes to visit every night in bed
I fight the demon but it just won't fall
The voices in my dungeon starting to call

The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all

And it is you
You are the ghost behind my eyes
I can't see through you
You are the ghost behind my eyes
The ghost that tells me lies

Your thoughts are compromising
Self-centered patronizing
Your image supersedes your soul

You find me mystifying
Subhuman so annoying
You can't have me under control

You think you live forever
You don't find that profound
You won't think you're so clever
When you hear thunder underground
All right now

Your morbid fear of losing
Destroys the lives you're using

Voices, A thousand thousand voices
Whispering, the time has passed for choices
Golden days are passing over, Yeah

I can't seem to see you baby
Although my eyes are open wide
But I know I'll see you once more
When I see you, I'll see you on the other side
Yes I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side

Leaving, I hate to see you cry
Grieving, I hate to say goodbye

Have you read the message
The writing on the wall
Could it be the answer
The answer to it all
What's going on in Heaven
I'm playing with your head
Don't believe them when they tell you
You'd be better off dead

Living in the thunder
Driving me insane
Can I get a witness to take away the pain
Walking on the water
Going nowhere fast

You are my only daughter
I guess I made you twice
You look inside my other
He'll give you bad advice

I will tell you I'm OK
But deep inside I'm afraid

I don't drink Holy water
I'm not the son of Christ
I ain't no black messiah
And I don't load my dice

You can tell me you're all right
But why are you so afraid?

You're in denial
You never will believe it's you

Don't you know I love you more than life itself
Don't you know that you're my pride
And I would not have you walking through this world
Without me by your side

Go to sleep my little man
Don't you weep my little man

I'd like to keep you with me all your life
But I know I can't do that
So I must try teaching you the wrong from right
To keep the vulture from your back

Condemned to violence
Arrested by pain
Inside the soul lies a man insane
Conceived in anger
Addicted to hate
The mutant child of a twisted state

Beware the contradiction
Beneath the crimson void
'Cos in this world of fiction
My Jekyll doesn't hide

A killer's smile with a psycho star dream
Behind the mask things aren't what they seem
Unholy soldier
Desciple of sin

Look into the future look into my eyes and tell me
Everything's all right
Tell me where we're going
I'm so afraid 'cos I don't know what's going on
With my life

But it'll be alright tonight
Will it be alright tonight?
Are we doin' alright in old L.A. tonight?

Sitting by the ocean
Mapping out my plan of action
Baby they include you
I wish you'd send a message
