THORN IN MY PRIDE Bring me water
 Bring me something shorter
 Bring me anything I need
 Take my power 
Take my darkest hour
 Take my non existing greed Thorn in my pride
 Thorn in my pride
 When you're by my side
 A thorn gets in my pride I deny you 
If I cannot hide you
 It's a shame but it's the truth
 So stop your cryin' 
Cause you know that I can
 Only blame it on my youth Thorn in my pride 
Thorn in my pride
 When you're by my side 
A thorn gets in my pride

Run 04:05
RUN Pretty - still no star
 Want to go so far 
In pictures of the ocean Happy - I heard your news
 What you got to lose
 Just pictures of the ocean Hang on - keep control
 But don't sell your soul 
For pictures of the ocean Take no time to sign it on the dotted line 
Take the money and run
 Take no time and spit into the white wine
 Take the money and run Happy - 'cause you were right
 You got your name in lights 
In pictures of the ocean Running - now you learn
 You get a poor return
 From pictures of the ocean Pity - fading star
 Perhaps you got too far
 From pictures of the ocean Take no time to sign it on the dotted line
 Take the money and run
 Take no time and spit into the white wine
 Take the money and run

Rotator 03:30
ROTATOR Here's a confession 
I need my impression
 For my profession
 And I don't know the answer
 To enhance her Each composition
 Gives recognition
 Kills my ambition
 And I've just got this feeling 
It's revealing
 And rotator runs free-wheeling Rotator - You can't beat me
 Rotator - Take it easy
 Rotator - You can't bring me down
 But you need me more and more in your round All my illusion
 Turns to confusion 
In case of revolution 
I’ll be first in the line 
If they don't mind
 So give me information 
‘Bout a destination
 Away from desperation 
‘Cause I've just got this feeling 
It's revealing
 And rotator runs free-wheeling Rotator - You can't beat me
 Rotator - Take it easy
 Rotator - You can't bring me down
 But you need me more and more in your round

11:07 PM 04:10
11:07PM Love hidden in my mind 
Let it out to shine 
I'm calling out your name 
And running in the rain I love to turn you on
 The dream is always strong 
And love floating in the air
 And I can see you there All hope was lost on a night in December 
Only a mad man to blame
 So many tears on that night in December
 But on cold foreign fields there's a flame
 So we always remember your name I haven't read the news 
Saddened and confused 
And dream in my life I swear 
I saw you standing there All hope was lost on a night in December
 Only a mad man to blame
 So many tears on that night in December
 But on Strawberry Fields there's a flame
 So we always remember your name

BACK-BONE-BEAT Now she's touching my leg 
Seems a little bit fake
 But I will let it go on for a minute Now she's starting to cry
 Well I see you bye-bye
 So she's starting the discussion 'bout a pay-back Touch me when I'm falling
 Catch me when I'm crawling I need a little back-bone-beat
 ‘Cause it might as well turn you on
 I cheat with the back-bone-beat
 But it might as well turn you on
 Life is going to take some time
 And it's only for the social Well she's breaking my pain 
Like to do it again 
I can see you getting colder in a winter
 But there's no way to turn 
I don't need no concern
 So I'm kindly presenting you for my finger Touch me when I'm falling 
Catch me when I'm crawling I need a little back-bone-beat
 ‘Cause it might as well turn you on
 I cheat with the back-bone-beat
 But it might as well turn you on
 Life is going to take some time
 And it's only for the social

WHEN THE RIVER RUNS DRY You can stab me in the back
 You can paint my pure heart black
 Puts me on another track
 But I guess you know by now Takes a while before I see
 That you always disagree 
Really brings me misery
 But I guess you know by know I know that feeling coming 
I know when the river runs dry 
I know that feeling coming - Why Saw a bottle on the wall
 Saw your one and only fall
 Didn't know your one at all
 But I guess you know by now You've been distant from the start 
Did another take my part?
 All I know is you broke my heart
 But I guess you know by now I know that feeling coming 
I know when the river runs dry 
I know that feeling coming - Why Yes you know by now
7.
Break 04:05
BREAK I've been digging digging down down
 For a reason not to go
 But it's a tricky tricky time time
 So I guess I can't say no And you can tell me how much I have earned
 But I don't receive it
 You can tell me 'bout my future plans 
But I don't believe it Break - all I need is a teeny-weeny break Singing super super songs songs
 But you really don't seem to care 
It's only when the money rolls in 
We'll be sure to see you there And you can tell me how much I have earned 
But I don't receive it
 You can tell me 'bout my future plans
 But I don't believe it Break - all I need is a teeny-weeny break

I LIKE SURPRISES I like surprises 
I can't wait too long
 Spur of the moment - right or wrong Something behind her I live on the run
 Something sudden movements gonna come Down the line
 Watch me one more time 
I like surprises We like surprises
 I know what we want
 Weird little moments - do or don't So many highs for her
 Know what she needs
 Lightning in my movement we compete Down the line
 Watch me one more time 
I like surprises

Riff Sang 03:20
RIFF SANG Take my eyeball
 Whisper I fall
 Take the water where I went
 Sister daring
 Mother caring
 Taking things to the end Well she goes 
I wanna break in another B-bowl Take my wings
 And fly away 
I try to move or the core
 Things I cant find
 Things I won't find
 Try to break through to the war And she goes 
I wanna break in another B-bowl
10.
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT In your garden I try to fall asleep Sister Mary walking on the wall Sister Mary heading for a fall Sister Mary waiting for a call Sister Mary - pride before a fall So many moments All I really needed was the one So many moments I have been mistreated playings done Pretty soon I'm gonna run Take it or leave it 'cause I don't care you better believe it I'm down there Take it or leave it 'cause I don't care I come out of the blue Bringing dark days for you Sister Mary walking on the grass Sister Mary breathing on the glass Sister Mary looking at the past Sister Mary - you've got peace at last So many moments All I really neede was the one So many moments I have been mistreated playings done Pretty soon I'm gonna run Take it or leave it... In your garden I try to stay awake
11.
Find My Way 03:06
FIND MY WAY I'm watching myself cry Well I just sighed my last sigh And I took you by surprise So why apologize 'cause I will always find my way I think I've found the way So stay - You can make my day And I'm stopping my demise And I apologize I really need to find my way You can see what it will be Time honoured questions Love in dimensions as it was You can see what it will be Finding suggestions Lasting impressions as it was But until I find you there I will swear to take care And I'm fighting a war for you I'm trying to comply But I'm just a passer by And I sometimes I'm unwise But see life through my eyes 'cause I will always find my way You can see what it will be Finding suggestions Lasting impressions as it was But until I find you there I will swear to take care And I'm fighting a war for you
12.
Two Of You 04:41
TWO OF YOU Why tell me why
 There's a river to cry tonight - oh why Try don't you try
 You can never deny what's right - Don't you try Look at me
 Caught in your mystery 
I'm giving twice the feeling
 And I'm not receiving Now my head is turning
 And my eyes are burning 
It's the truth I'm learning 
What am I to do - with two of you Why tell me why
 There's a river to cry tonight - oh why Try don't you try You can never deny what's right - Don't you try I can see
 You made a fool of me
 And you've been double dealing
 This is so revealing Which of you is Mary 
I can't tell it can't be
 You've both been deceiving
 What am I to do - with two of you
13.
RISE AND FALL I want it - I need it I know the way there Ups and downs - Turnarounds I know the feeling Somehow I seem to find you on my mind Sunshines on the horizon I know the feeling You call me - Restore me I know the feeling Somehow I seem to find you on my mind Rise and fall To the one you call She looks down into my eyes Rise and fall To the one you call She looks down into my eyes And I can see you smile And I know we will rise and fall - tonight The fine lines where light shines Such a good feeling I need to be near you To share that feeling Somehow I seem to find you on my mind Rise and fall To the one you call She looks down into my eyes Rise and fall To the one you call She looks down into my eyes And I can see you smile And I know we will rise and fall - tonigh
