1.Hollywood

How can it be that I could be lost again?
Here in a town of yesterday's desperate men
All dressed up to go for the final scene
Here comes the dread they fed me in last night's dream

She's got too much class for the likes of me
I'll stay but don't make me nervous
Lost in the haze of yesterdays memory
Don't think that you don't deserve us
Crying all the way to the bank on the bullet train
But crying don't get you nowhere
I must be the only man that they couldn't frame

I couldn't see the enemy till he was close behind
Waltzing blind, through my mind
And if the lights should freeze oh please
Don't make it him or me
Then we'll see

This city is a monument to bad taste in vain
Hooray for hollywood break, out the search lights above
But I couldn't tear myself away, so I can't complain
Send out the substitutes, tonight we'll be makin' love
Crawling in deaf and dumb for the losers ball
Here's to the house on the hill and the thrill of it all
Sinking in a tidal wave of alcohol

How could I miss it's come to this Hollywood final scene
Make it clean
And if the lights should freeze oh please
Don't make it him or me
Then we'll see

I couldn't see the enemy till he was close behind
Waltzing blind, through my mind
Look out below this heart will blow Hollywood style tonight
It don't seem right

And if the lights should freeze oh please
Don't make it him or me
Then we'll see


2.Vanity Kills

It's getting late, but I'll wait up to greet the dawn
Pour some Champagne and refrain, from moving on
There's got to be more than this to our simple serenades
I'm waiting 'til the spot light fades

A case of 'vanity kills', they're all up for the thrills
But not the working darlin'
Life's a roll of a dice, but you'll pay the price
When that curtain falls

Another place, another name, another sleepless night
But still they come, they adore, how could I not oblige
There's got to be more than this to our simple serenades
I'm waiting 'til the spotlight fades

A case of 'vanity kills', they're all up for the thrills
But not the working darlin'
Life's a roll of a dice, but you'll pay the price
When that curtain falls

Caught in this constant flow of flattery
Is there no getting by the sound
But still that thoughts ringing out
There's got to be something more than, something more than this

A case of 'vanity kills', they're all up for the thrills
But not the working darlin'
Life's a roll of a dice, but you'll pay the price
When that curtain falls

A case of 'vanity kills', they're all up for the thrills
But not the working darlin'
Life's a roll of a dice, but you'll pay the price
When that curtain falls


3.Time

Oh happy something
I'm not sure what we should sing
A toast to life and its bitter ironies
Start where we left off
Well I guess we can dream
Dawn brings a new day
But doesn't change a thing

Another day, another night
Another time, would it change anything?
We had the melody
But we were missing the rhyme
Will we ever be in the right time?

The clock is ticking
How long until we are there?
A love struck notion
An off beat love affair
I'm sentimental
Just dance me out of despair
I'll follow your lead
As long as we get there

Another day, another night
Another time, would you be ready for me?
We had the melody
But we were missing the rhyme
A twisted symphony, that skips by every sign
We say another day
We play into the night
Will we ever be in the right time?

We had the melody
But we were missing the rhyme
A twisted symphony, that skips by every sign
We say another day
We play into the night
Will we ever be in the right time?


4.The Black Roses

Please baby let me sit by your fire
I'll steal all of the things that you desire
Midnight's howl and jukebox love
Are the only things I'm dreaming of
Don't misunderstand me when I say

I can't hear anything that your saying
Twenty steps to heaven and then you leave me praying
I'm not the kind of girl to be impressed by that

Someday soon when the black roses wither
You'll remember her and everything you didn't give her
And I'll be the one you see when you can't turn back

The walls pound and my hands shake in the night
My heart freezes in cold wonderous fright
12th street jokes, worn out pride
There's nothing much left here to hide
I could drown for days on last years tide

I can't hear anything that your saying
Twenty steps to heaven and then you leave me praying
I'm not the kind of girl to be impressed by that

Someday soon when the black roses wither
You'll remember her and everything you didn't give her
And I'll be the one you see when you can't turn back

I can't hear anything that your saying
Twenty steps to heaven and then you leave me praying
I'm not the kind of girl to be impressed by that

Someday soon when the black roses wither
You'll remember her and everything you didn't give her
And I'll be the one you see when you can't turn back


5.Little Sister

Hey little sister just slow down slow down
Hey little sister just watch them go
Hey little sister don't go down go down
Hey little sister just down let go

Hey little sister just slow down slow down
Hey little sister just watch them go
Hey little sister don't go down go down
Hey little sister just down let go

You keep winging it
They'll keep singing it
Wrong key most of the time
They'll keep selling it
Cast your spell on it
It's not that easy to find

Hey little sister just slow down slow down
Hey little sister just watch them go
Hey little sister don't go down go down
Hey little sister just down let go

You keep trying it
They'll keep buying it
Sending half the nation to sleep
No direction, upon reflection
There's nothing for you out there to keep

You keep winging it
They'll keep singing it
Wrong key most of the time
They'll keep selling it
Cast your spell on it
It's not that easy to find

Hey little sister just slow down slow down
Hey little sister just watch them go
Hey little sister don't go down go down
Hey little sister just down let go

Hey little sister just slow down slow down
Hey little sister just watch them go
Hey little sister don't go down go down
Hey little sister just down let go


6.Nevada

Should you always be a mystery
I'd be lost in daydreams constantly
Out of reach, strung out like yesterday
Close your eyes and watch me drift away.
Somewhere in between the speeding cars
I was born beneath a shooting star
In the morning sun they sold me
Electric hours of fun needlessly
Promise me, promise me
You'll never wait for me
There in the vacant light
Don't say a prayer for me
Tell them I've got somewhere I have to go
That I wished on a star
I'll be back by the end of the show

Should you ever drift into the parade
I'll be the first in line to be saved
And after all know one really knows this desert wind
Or which way it blows
Come out tonight and realise
Here upon my restless sunken eyes
We can sleep till night comes calling
And stop this sky of lights from falling in
Promise me, promise me
You'll never wait for me
There in the vacant light
Don't say a prayer for me
Tell them I've got somewhere I have to go
That I wished on a star
I'll be back by the end of the show


7.Reste avec moi

Codeine Velvet Club - Reste Avec Moi

Where did the money go?
I'll love you even when you're poor
You don't mean anything
You don't mean anything you say
Don't think my love's in vain
I heard you calling out my name
You don't love anyone
You don't love anyone
But midnight's on its way
and there's so much I'll never say
And all the streetlights flicker endlessly
And steal my heart away, so wont you
Stay with me, stay with me
I don't need you
I just want you here with me
Nights like these
Come and go so needlessly

Where did your good times go?
You used to chase me from your door
You don't know anything
You don't know anything I'm sure
I know enough to see
That you need anyone but me
You don't hear anything
You never hear a word I say
You must believe me
Do your lonely eyes deceive me?
Did the moonlight have to leave me
In this cold and vacant way?
Wont you stay with me, stay with me
I don't need you
I just heard you'd wait for me
Endlessly naming every street for me

Blue light fuels the daze
Of all those promises you made
And every love struck scene on silver screen
Pulls me right back in
So wont you stay with me, stay with me
I don't need you
I just heard you'd wait for me
Endlessly naming every street for me
Stay with me, stay with me
I don't need you
I just want you here with me
Nights like these come and go so endlessly


8.I Would Send You Roses

Dead as the lights on the wrong side of midnight
Praying to god that something would feel right
I loved you more than I probably should have
You might have done more and you probably could have
Nothing could stop me from being a man
I've tried all the words that I possibly can
I should arrived when I said that I would
I called out your name but it done me no good
I would've agreed with whatever you told me
I would've paid double the price for which you sold me
How would you feel if I told you I loved you?
I want to scream that there's no one above you
I would send you roses every single day
I would send you roses every single day
How would you feel if I told you I need you?
I'd look you up but I heard that they freed you
I will send you roses every single day
I would send you roses
Dead as the lights on the wrong side of midnight
Praying to god that something would feel right
I loved you more than I probably should have
You might have done more and you probably could have
Nothing could stop me from being a man
I've tried all the words that I possibly can
I should arrived when I said that I would
I called out your name but it done me no good
I would've agreed with whatever you told me
I would've paid double the price for which you sold me
How would you feel if I told you I loved you?
I want to scream that there's no one above you
I would send you roses every single day
I would send you roses every single day
How would you feel if I told you I need you?
I'd look you up but I heard that they freed you
I will send you roses every single day
I would send you roses

I would've agreed with whatever you told me
I would've paid double the price for which you sold me
How would you feel if I told you I loved you?
I want to scream that there's no one above you
I would send you roses every single day
I would send you roses every single day
How would you feel if I told you I need you?
I'd look you up but I heard that they freed you
I will send you roses every single day
I would send you roses


9.Like a Full Moon

Codeine Velvet Club - Like A Full Moon

There's nothing that I wouldn't do if you'd only ask me to leave
Like a cold casanova in the bedroom of a cynical thief

Honestly, honestly, won't you tell me please
How a fool can rescue you chasing every pretty thing he sees
While begging on his knees

There's nothing I can do for you when your so alone I could cry
Like a soulless bella donna dying in the blink of an eye

Dance for me, dance for me, wont you tell please
How you came to love me in the rhythm of this never ending tease
While begging on your knees

There's nothing that I wouldn't say if you'd only choose to
believe
My love for you is endless like a full moon dead on the sea

Wait for me, wait for me, till the day is through
Dancing round the ashes of our love was not enough for you
Raging in the fever was enough to make you freeze
You and I the victims in the rhythm of this never ending tease
While begging on our knees


10.Begging Bowl Blues

Windy old head
I sang along with the words that she said
Happy and bad
'Where goes the time?'
She asked me once
Oh and if you don't mind
Give back my heart when you go

Begging bowl blues
Wrapped round my head
Like a fistful of news nobody reads
Me and her name I can't recall
I was never the same after she left me
And oh I missed her so
Never thought much of her reason to go
And well, she cast a spell
Under I fell in a useless hello

Useless old day
Wishing the hours would take me away
Just for a while
Nobody's crook, stealing an answer
Oh why does he look drunk as the day he was born?
Ragged and torn, lives for the money these days,
What a joke
And once, twice is a sin
Couldn't get in with the elegant folk

I cannot wait any longer
And I cannot claim to be free
Whenever it seems like I'm losing
The begging bowl blues follow me
And she cannot say that she's happy
And I cant be sure if I care
I got wrapped up in the money
And the begging bowl blues kept me there


11.I Am The Resurrection


12.Hollywood (Live)

How can it be that I could be lost again?
Here in a town of yesterday's desperate men
All dressed up to go for the final scene
Here comes the dread they fed me in last night's dream

She's got too much class for the likes of me
I'll stay but don't make me nervous
Lost in the haze of yesterdays memory
Don't think that you don't deserve us
Crying all the way to the bank on the bullet train
But crying don't get you nowhere
I must be the only man that they couldn't frame

I couldn't see the enemy till he was close behind
Waltzing blind, through my mind
And if the lights should freeze oh please
Don't make it him or me

This city is a monument to bad taste in vain
Hooray for hollywood break, out the search lights above
But I couldn't tear myself away, so I can't complain
Send out the substitutes, tonight we'll be makin' love
Crawling in deaf and dumb for the losers ball
Here's to the house on the hill and the thrill of it all
Sinking in a tidal wave of alcohol

How could I miss it's come to this Hollywood final scene

I couldn't see the enemy till he was close behind
Waltzing blind, through my mind
Look out below this heart will blow Hollywood style tonight
It don't seem right

And if the lights should freeze
Don't make it him or me
Then we'll see


13.I Wish My Daddy

Hey Mister mister got the time
I've been waiting forever at the starting line
You sell your soul to get this far
But still nobody knows who you are
Well lady lucks a twisted dame
She's only working for you if you got the name
So get on this board and take this town
Cause there aint nobody gonna help you out
It's oh so beautiful and oh so charmed
But you can't tell the charlatan from the star
A dangerous friend to make
You could be dancing with the devil in this masquerade

It's a merry dance right from the start
Everybody's got conviction but they got no heart
A sinful life of luxury
Where all these beggars are just honest thieves
Don't close your eyes you'll miss your turn
There aint no room in here to live and learn
So take this town, don't be shy
Be sure you're working every alibi
It's oh so beautiful and oh so charmed
But you can't tell the charlatan from the star
A dangerous friend to make
You could be dancing with the devil in this masquerade

The spotlights haze only ups the stakes
Make your claim
All these empty pleasantries, never seemed to work for me

It's oh so beautiful and oh so charmed
But you can't tell the charlatan from the star
A dangerous friend to make
You could be dancing with the devil in this masquerade
