FLESH AND BONE
Ive gone through work white-knuckledIn the moments that left me behindRefusing to heed the yeildI penetrate the forcefields and the blind
They say Ill adjust God knows I mustBut Im not sure how This natural selectionPicked me out to beA dark horse running in a fantasy
Flesh and bone!And Im running out of time
Flesh and bone!
Somewhere outside that finish lineI square up and break through the chainsAnd I hit like a raging bullAnnoyed by the bloodI take the reignsCut from the clothOf the flag that bears the name
Battle born
And theyll call me the contender Theyll listen for the bell With my face flashing crimsonFrom the fires of hell
What are you afraid of?And what are you made of?
Flesh and bone!And Im running out of time Flesh and bone!And what are you made of?Flesh and bone!And Im turning on the dime Flesh and bone!
This could decay (decay, decay, decay)
This could decayLike the valley belowDefences are downThe stakes are high(Lets get out the crowd for a face of compassion) The fairytale end(To face out the journey to force us no more)The staggering blow(Youll find the truth in the roots of desire)
You lead with your chin(Sitting in your corner, just a compass and the sun)This could be realSimple
And what are you made of?Flesh and bone!And Im running out of time Flesh and bone!What are you made of?
He places forwardTrading his blindnessFor the glow of loveAnd time is ragingNeed to raise your gameAnd ya always had itBut you never knewSo boots and saddlesGet on your feetTheres no surrender Because theres no retreat The bells absolve himAnd theres more starting and We are the descendantsOf giant men

RUNAWAYS
Blonde hair blowin' in the summer wind,A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand,I'd been on a trail for a little while,But that was the night that she broke down andheld my hand,The teenage rush, she said, 'maybe I'll justrunaway, we got time,Well that ain't much'...
"We can't wait 'til tomorrow,You gotta know that this is real,Baby why you wanna fight it?It's the one thing you can choose, oh!"
We got engaged on a Friday night,I swore on the head of our unborn child,That I could take care of the three of us,But I got the tendency to slip when the nights getwild,It's in my blood,She says she might just run away somewhere else,some place good.
"We can't wait 'til tomorrow,You gotta know that this is real,Baby why you wanna fight it?It's the one thing you can choose".
"Let's take a chance baby we can't lose,Means: "we're all just runaways",I knew that when I met you, I'm not gonna let you
runaway,I knew that when I held you, I wasn't lettin' go.
We used to look at the stars and confess ourdreams,Hold each other to the morning light,We used to laugh, now we only fight,Baby are you lonesome now?
At night I come home after they go to sleep,Like a stumbling ghost, I haunt these halls,There's a picture of us on our wedding day,I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls.
We can't wait 'til tomorrow,No we're caught up in the appeal,baby why you wanna hide itIt's the last thing on my mind,I turn the engine over and my body just comes aliveand we all just runaways.I knew that when I met you, I'm not gonna let yourunaway,I knew that when I held you, I wasn't lettin go,(And we're all just runaways)Yeah, run away,(And we're all just runaways)Yeah.

THE WAY IT WAS
I drove through the desert last nightI carried the weight of our last fightElvis singing dont be cruel And I wonder if you feel it tooIts like were going under
Somewhere outside the lonely Esmarelda countylineThe question of my heart came to my mind
If I go onWith you by my sideCan it beThe way it wasWhen we metDid you forget all about those golden nights?
Maybe a theif stole your heartOr maybe we just drifted apartI remember drivingIn my daddys car To the airfieldBlankey on the hoodBacks against the windshieldBack then this thing was running onMomentum, love and trustThat paradise is buried in the dust
If I go onWith you by my sideCan it beThe way it wasWhen we metDid you forget all about those golden nights?
All of our plansHave fallen throughSometimes a dreamIt dont come true
Darling!Darling!
If we go onCan it beThe way it wasWhen we metDid you forget all about those golden nights?
If I go onWith you by my sideCan it beThe way it was
My heart is trueGirl, its just you Im thinking of
Can it be the way it was?
Maybe we stole your heart

HERE WITH ME
Wheels are turningI remember when you were mineNow just to reach youBaby, Id stand in line
But theres another world Were living in Tonight
And theres another heart Thats fading in The light
Dont want your picture On my cell phoneI want you hereWith meI dont want your memoriesIn my head nowI want you here with me
Spent the summerLaying out in the sunTime seemed to move so slowWhen youre taking it as it comes Maybe we were just too young
Your body was tannedAnd your hair was longShot me a smileAnd my cares were goneFalling in loveFilled my soul with frightYou said Come on baby, Itll be alright I must have been a foolTo the bitter endNow I hold on to hopeTo have you back again
A bargain endId fight
But theres a nother world Were living inTonight
Dont want your picture On my cell phoneI want you hereWith meI dont want your memories In my head nowI want you here with me
But I saw you in a restaurantThe other dayAnd instead of walking towards youI ran awayAnd Ill keep on waiting for youAnd youll come around Come aroundAnd say
Dont want your picture On my cell phoneI want you hereWith meDont need those memories In my head nowI want you here with me
Ooooh!Ooooh!Here with meOoooh!Ooooh!Ooooh!Here with me

A MATTER OF TIME
Youre looking for a way out I can feel itCome on, show me where it hurts
Maybe I can heal itYour feelings are your ownnow you keep them under lock and keyYouve got me driving through the streets For an answer to the mystery
The worlds still weak on Charleston Avenue Outside that vacant starlight motelI see youLaughing with your girlfriendsNot a care in the worldNot a burden on your mind
It was a matter of time
Theres a panic in this house And its bound to surface Just walking through the front doorMakes me nervousIts creeping up the floorboorda Got me wondering where I standI can not put out the fireIve got a book of matches in my hand
When we first metHeadstrong and filled with doubtDid just enough, hustling tablesJust to take you outI was falling back on foreverThen you told me about your heartYou laid it on the line
Laughing with your girlfriends
Not a care in the world
Not a burden on your mind
Youre hanging on the line!
It was just a matterIt was a matter of time
We found ourselves a placePeople longing on foreverAnd I know its all about Make a promise and keep it calmOh, how I ought toWed figure it out It was the night, it was the momentIt was the green grass in the gardenThe victory and the sinI know youre weary, look at me Flailing in the cornerHeres the towel Go on, throw it in
It was a matter of timeCant you see that its tearing me up inside? Look whats laid at your feet its a wreckage of broken dreams And burned out hailsAnd its here on our street

MISS ATOMIC BOMB
You were standing with your girl friends in thestreetFalling back along foreverI wonder what you came to be I was new in town, the boy with the eager eyesI never was a quitterOblivious to schoolgirls lies
When I look back on those neon nightsTheyll let us see the passage right I feel the heat, I see the light
Miss Atomic BombMaking out weve got the radio on Youre gonna miss me when Im gone Youre gonna miss me when Im gone
Facing shadows in the moonlightThrough the desert on a hot nightFor a second there we wereYeah we were innocent and young
Cast out of the night where youve got a foolishheartSo you took your place but the fall from grace wasthe hardest partIt looks just like a terror buried deep in your backYou overcome it but you cant escape the secondattackHer soul was innocent you kissed her and painted itblackYou shoulda seen your little face [a bullet throughwhole night?]For your lifeAll that I wanted was a little touch, a littletenderness and sugarI didnt ask for much, no Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrongtime
Miss Atomic BombMaking out weve g ot the radio onYoure gonna miss me when Im gone Youre gonna miss me when Im gone Raising shadows in the moonlightWere taking chances on a hot night And for a second there we wereYeah we were innocent and young
Dust clouds settle, my eyes are clearBut sometimes in dreams of impact I still hearMiss Atomic Bomb, Im standing here Sweat on my skinAnd this love that I cradle is wearing thin
But Im standing here and your hands in mine Your shockwave whisper has sealed your fate
(It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back)Its a proving ground (You run for cover but you cant scape the secondattack)And you took a chance(Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and shepainted it black)On a losers game (You should have seen your little face, burning forloveholding on for your life)But you cant survive (All that I wanted was a little touch)When you want it all(A little tenderness and truth, I didnt ask for much,no)Theres another side (Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrongtime)

THE RISING TIDE
The streets of persuasionAre plated with gold
Your hearts in the right place, But you travel down the wrong road
Like so many before youThe gates open wideHere comes the rising tide
Lets go out tonight Theres a mystery underneath those neon lights
Before life and dream collideCuz the truths gonna come and cut you open wide And you cant escape the rising of the tide
Keep up your appearance, you join the choirWith everybody singing out Glory Hallejuah
The song gets you nowhereTheres nowhere to hide Here come the rising tide
And the company you keep,Well they plan your crucifiction as we speakSo, baby til life and dream collideTheres gonna be a mystery of the people neonlightsYoull petition, but you r access was deniedAnd you cant escape the rising of the tide
Can you tell me bro was I deceived, or in denial?I was there, in the back of the room, when youtestified
You took the stand, you licked your lips, and youliedUntil life and dream collide
Well I gotta believe theres something on my side. When the venom in your veins is satisfiedYoull be running, but there aint no where to hide
You cant escape (you cant escape) You cant escape (you cant escape) You cant escape the rising of the tide

HEART OF A GIRL
Looking out my window an angel in robe appearedand nearly pulled me apartA million miles of freedomA million miles of roadShe wrote her number downShe gave it to meThey had to scrape me off the floorIn this transient townWaiters and dealers trying to get their foot in thedoorThat night I called her, she said
Daddy, daddy, daddy, all my life Ive been trying to find my place in the world I said to herBaby, baby, babe I got all night To listen to the heart of a girl
I can see the time dripping down the clockWeve been trying to hear that ancient refrain Its the one that knows us when our heads aredownIt reminds us of the place from where we cameWhere we came
Daddy, daddy, daddy, all my lifeIve been trying to find my place in this worldBaby, baby, babe I got all nightTo listen to the heart of a girl
What happened here? What is this world?Its too far from the heart of a girl Ripping the heart from the drop of a pearlIm on the shore waiting for the heart o f a girl
? Knock on oneStanding still, time is ragingStaring down the mouth of 100,000 gunsYoure still here, youre still here I believe that we never have to be alone
Yes I believe its just around the bend You can hold it in, or you can scream it on themicrophoneThere is no endThere is no end
Deep in the night, I feel a presenceOf something that was long ago, told to meThere is a hand guiding the riverThe river to wide open sea
And deep in my heart, ?On any mountain, no Im not afraid Standing on stone, you stand beside meAnd honor the friends that were made

BE STILL
Be stillAnd go on to bedNobody knows what lies aheadAnd life is short to say the leastWere in the belly of the beast
Be stillWild and youngLong may your innocence reignLike shells on a shoreAnd may your limits be unknownAnd may your efforts be your ownIf you ever feel you cant take it anymore
Dont break character, youve got a lot of heart Is this real or just a dream?Rise up like the sunLabour till the work is done
Be stillAnd one day youll leave Fearlessness on your sleeveAnd when you come back tell me what did you see(what did you see?)Was there something out there for me?
Be stillClose your eyesSoon enough youll be on your own Steady and straightAnd if they drag you through the mudIt doesnt change whats in your blood Over rock, over chains(Over chains!)Over track over plainsWhen they knock you down
Dont break character youve got a lot of heart Is this real or just a dream?
Be still Be still Be still Be still
Over rock and chain, over sunset plainOver trap and snare, when youre in too deep In your wildest dream, in your made up schemeWhen they knock you down, when they knock youdown
Dont break character youve got so much heart Is this real or just a dream?Oh, rise up like the sun and labour and till the workis doneRise up like the sun and labour and till the work isRise up like the sun and labour and till the work isdone

BATTLE BORN
You lost faith in the human spiritYou walk around like a ghostYoure star -spangled heartTook a train for the coastWhen you shine youre a hilltop mansion So howd you lose the light? Was it blown by the windIn the still of the night?
Youre up against the wall
Up against the wallTheres something dying on the streetWhen they knock you downYoure gonna get back on your feet
(No you cant stop now)
I always saw you as a kind of keeperA mother to a childBut your boys have grown softAnd your girls have gone wildFrom the blue ridge to the black hillsTo the redwood skyThe season may passBut the dream doesnt die
Now that you dropped the ball
Up against the wallTheres something dying on the street When they knock you downYoure gonna get back on your feet
(No you cant stop now)
When they break your heartWhen they cause your soul to mournRemember what I saidBoy you was Battle Born
You was Battle Born
When the night rolls on the landAre you haunted by the sound?Its gonna take more than a hand To turn this thing around
But you needed.rescue, set me free
Up against the wallTheres something dying on the street When they knock you downYoure gonna get back on your feet
(No you cant stop now)
Did they break your heart?And did they cause your soul to mournRemember what I saidBoy you was Battle Born
Come on show your faceCome on give us one more spark of the fire Unless we fall into the dark
You never knowYou never learnYou never shineIf you never burnThe rising tideThe undertowThe venom andThe overflowYou turn awayWelcome home

CARRY ME HOME
Let me outDont tell me everything Start it outLike any other dayMust have gave the wrong impression
Dont you understand where I belong Im not the one
Stand againThey say nothing comes for freeAnd thats the truthIve been living in a fantasy
Slip and slide ahead trip heavenSelf-denial such a wonderful and powerful thingBut Im not the one
The morning dove sings with two broken wingsCarry me home, Im not afraid The stars in my eyes with shimmering lights carryme homeDont let me fade away
Stop the press the kids light is growing dimIt took a month long slide and then came caving inWhen you self-destruct you wind up looking aglimmer of hopeBut the writings on the wallIm not the one
The morning dove sings with two broken wingsCarry me home, Im not afraid The stars in my eyes with shimmering lights carryme homeDont let me fade
Just how thick is your skin?Just how sharp are your teeth?Oh, youve got a lot to learn
Is there somewhere else that I can winIs there something else to start over againFrom the summits edge to the cutting room floorI will be afraid no more
The morning dove sings with two broken wingsCarry me home, Im not afraid The stars in my eyes with shimmering lights carryme homeDont let me fade away Carry me home, carry me
