When The Heart Rules The Mind

Mother, protect me,
Protect me from myself
Lately I can't tell,
Who really are my friends
Burning the candle,
The candle at both ends
Through crowds, across floors
Each night I just pretend

When the heart rules the mind
One look and love is blind
When you want the dream to last
Take a chance forget the past

Watching the actor
That takes the stage by storm
Stealing the limelight,
While we're in the wings
Sometimes the hero,
Must play the underdog
But I don't feel the same
I must have everything

When the heart rules the mind
One look and love is blind
When you want the dream to last
Take a chance forget the past

Seasons will change
You must move on
Follow your dream


The Hunter

It don't come easy that's understood
Faint hearted loser that's no good,
Just take a lesson from the great
Mohammed
He said......He said.....

Pick up a rifle, you must be strong
To take a title can be so long,
If you believe, you can't go wrong.
I said.....I said.....listen

He's a fighter, he's my friend
Always winning in the end.
He's no angel, he's no fool,
Never plays it by the rule,
Take the glory, steal the prize,
Only the hunter, only the hunter

You took your chances,
You hurt your pride
A sense of failure is hard to hide
You crossed the limit,
You broke the code
Back on the road
Remember?......

He's a rival, he's my friend
Always winning in the end.
He's a tiger, he's a swan,
He's the one I'm counting on,
To take the glory,
Steal the prize, only the hunter,
Only the hunter
Survives

I'm on the outside, I'm looking in,
Through the lenses then into film,
I've got the target set in my sights,
I see a vision of truth,
Look out......

We're gonna fight until we drop,
We're gonna get back to the top,
We're gonnat be the first in line,
Winners till the end of time
Only the hunter, only the hunter,
Survives.


Here I Wait

I remember everything
Just the way it was
You and I were almost one
We shared the same road

Talk of love with last forever
Through the rack and ruin
All the pain and pleasure
That lead to our undoing

Here I wait
Just to be forgiven
Here I wait
Until we stand together
Here I wait
Trying to cross the borderline
Here I wait
Until we stand together

Trying for a real solution
Tracing back my roots
There I found a different sign
That took me by surprise

I had always thought of you
As someone I could trust
It came as such a shock to learn
You play life as you must

Here I wait
I can't wait forever
Here I wait
Where love is sure to find me
Here I wait
Trying to cross the borderline
Here I wait
Until we stand together


Jekyll & Hyde

I hear thunder from the mountain
Trying to split my personality
I see burning on the hillside
Darkness till the break of day

The wind that blows
A Dog that bites
Recurring dreams
Another night

Underground through the marshes
Got to keep the hounds at bay, I know
Can't move, my feet are frozen
There's a pounding in my head

The horn that sounds
I'm through the door
My body's trembling
Turn on the light

Is the mirror lying?
I must decide
If I'm Doctor Jekyll
Or Mr. Hyde


You Can Still Get Through

Stop, look and listen
Take it all in
Things you've been doing
Have gotten under your skin

Down on your knees
The phone calls for you
Too many mornings
You're not pulling through

Don't throw away your time

Someday you're gonna fly,
To the edge of the world
You just have to believe
You can still get through

Beg, steal, or borrow
Your time's running out
A fight that's worth fighting
When your future's in doubt

Don't throw away your time

Someday you're gonna fly
To the edge of the world
You just have to believe
You can still get through

I believe,
You can still get through


Reach Out (Never Say No)

The question I'm asking
Is what are you planning
The answer that's coming
Better ring true
You say that you need me
Don't know what to believe

Loving you
Makes nothing easy
After all
The things we want are not the same

Reach out
Never say no

Don't need x-ray vision
I see right through you
Your love makes trouble
The seeds of disruption
You're always abusing
The freedom you're given

Loving you
Makes nothing easy
After all
The things we want are not the same

Reach out
Never say no


Toe The Line

Sometimes you want to kick yourself
For letting things get this far
You get no thanks at all
It's just a double-edged sword

We try to keep ourselves detached
It's clear who holds the key
Drifting through the age of reason
Now you're washed up on the shore

Toe the line
It'll only hurt
What are you trying to hide
When you go swimming
Against the tide

You better toe the line
It's only going to hurt
What a waste of time
Trying to change their world
So toe the line

It seems like everything you went for
Disappeared like purple haze
Can we ever hope for justice
While bitter men hold nothing
Close to them

It was fixed before you were here
You'd better toe the line
It's only going to hurt
What a waste of time
Trying to change their world
So toe the line
It's an English custom


Imagining

I've been out of touch again
From all that's happening around you
I've become a different man
Can't seem to stand still

It was all a big mistake
Once we were partners in crime
We went off our separate ways
Never performing in time, in time

Imagining
All the lies you were told
Imagining
They were true you withhold
Imagining
Is it real, or a myth?
Imagining
In the world that we live

You were still dependent on
Lovers on your terms, your terms
Would you entertain again
You nearly lost your freedom, freedom

Imagining
All the lies you were told
Imagining
They were true you withhold
Imagining
Is it real, or a myth?
Imagining
In the world that we live
