Passing people by, don’t raise my eyes Worn out my shoes pacing ‘round just a-thinking ‘bout you, girl So many hurts, count the scars on my back Broken trust … can’t relax my guard But let you go, I don’t know A hesitation seized my soul [CHORUS] A memory of attraction so strong That passion, how could it be wrong? I can’t forget it I can’t regret it But could we get it back? Felt it from the first time we laid eyes Electric charge it filled the air, and arced across the sky Powder keg lay untouched so long But we knew the spark would come The flare of that first time Under ashes, embers still glow [CHORUS ] Swallow me whole, plague my soul Who’s the winner, who’s in control Are you playing me once again? Flay me thrice for just one sin Can’t cave or back down, no … But if I stand tall, I fall. In the last frame of this high-stakes game No one wants the blame Angel or harpy, I can feel, you’re as scared as me Angel or harpy, I can feel, you’re as scared as me Try again now, give it one more chance Is there free will Or are we doomed to lurch and stumble through this dance? Tired and burned, there’s reluctance to hope But we’re both reaching for that rope A hunger deep and wide Truth is heart, or is it mind? Remind me of attraction so strong That passion, how could it be wrong? I can’t forget it I can’t regret it But can we get it back? I can’t forget it I won’t regret it Now have we got it back?

Another sunshiny mornin’ in the Green Zone For Johnny and Peggy … it’s time for school Yellow APC pulls up at the curbside Dad’s got them covered, they dash till they’re inside Bus makes it through the checkpoints, rolling steady Principal’s waiting at the school door… His Uzi at the ready Down in the classroom now, Miss Macy's taking attendance … Is everyone here? A moment of silence. Times tables Bad man fables. We work till it’s recess time, Then get to play outside. Kids laugh and make light, ‘Cause they know Miss Macy’s up high Scanning 'round with her sniper sight Ooo Guns blaze again Guns blaze again Another citizen Has lost his head again. Lock, load, we drilled you on this Take aim, and teacher don’t you miss. Never gonna hide and plead We’re armed to the teeth But who’s the enemy? On Sunday it’s family time, let’s go for a ride We can check out the Wal-mart sale, buy some supplies Look daddy, ammo crates, pumpkins and lemonade, School supplies, claymore mines, a box of grenades. Daddy says, son, you can’t leave nothing to chance; Can never be too certain, always buy from trusted brands. It’s all on discount now, if you read the signs. Come on kids,head for checkout lines In the parking lot, smile and wave as neighbors pass Their carts loaded up too ... doggie treats and full-face gas masks Ooo Guns blaze again Guns blaze again Another citizen Has lost his head again. Lock, load, we drilled you on this Take aim, and Daddy don’t you miss. Never gonna hide and plead We’re armed to the teeth But who’s the enemy? Bedtime children, say your prayers Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil In Glock we trust Live by the bullet we must Are we safe now? Ooh, doo do do do doo … Are we safe now? Are we safe now? Ooh do do do do doo … Are we safe now? Mommy Daddy … Are we safe now? Our children sleep peaceful and / sound at night Home’s like a bunker, we’re all locked in tight Protection raised so high, no one would dare Never go back, to feeling menaced and scared So damn prepared, inside it's all smiling faces Inside here you'll never find criminal traces No matter where you go there's watchful eyes Predator drones overhead, circle the skies. We got no worries You’re safe if you just don’t trust And everyone controls their trigger lust No one wants to be prey You know what I mean, after all, it’s small price to pay. Ooo Guns blaze again Guns blaze again Another citizen Has lost his head again. Lock, load, we drilled you on this Take aim, and children don’t you miss. Never gonna hide and plead We’re armed to the teeth But who’s the enemy?

There’s a time when you’ve lost all sense of fear Things build up, inhibition disappears Exhausted all your reason, ways and means Can’t stand it, you’ve just got to blow off steam (CHORUS) World is turning, life is strange Didn’t know you’d end up treed, Hounds are baying at your feet You must leap into their teeth In a burning house The blinding smoke and misery You just move, you can’t explain … Let the chips fall where they may. Burst came sudden but the but the pressure’d built so long (Had to do it, didn’t mean it, had to do it) Years of of cracking, ain’t no levee built that strong (Had to do it, didn’t mean it, had to do it) They kept on pushing pushing pushing Like it’s just game they had to play Didn’t realize how much they’d gamble away (Had to do it, didn’t mean it, had to do it) [CHORUS] Sometimes you've got to do something unforgivable Just to go on living. It’s a matter of self-preservation. Let the chips fall where they may.

Unbinding dream unraveling So easy and cool Like a waterdrop that finds its path down Oh so natural and smooth It’s sweet but it’s incomplete Can’t put my finger on just what’s missing here Don’t want to think too much, just be But you know me, you know me [CHORUS] I can’t stand too much of a good thing Or what don’t burn my flesh Can’t light my flame Or maybe, honey, You just came along You came along You came along too soon Are you caught in, someone’s shadow now? Am I not over my ex? Wish I knew, wish I knew… been trying to Figure that out for myself. You’re so fine, perfect and kind Everything’s there ‘cept for one crucial spark Something ‘bout this seems unfair I ain’t trying, I ain’t trying [CHORUS] You say it’s alright Everybody’s got scars, don’t they? But babe I think you deserve better I just can’t shake the feeling That somehow I’m using you She’s still too deep She’s still too deep She’s just still too deep Under my skin! [CHORUS].

There’s an angel over there, sitting on the floor People try to talk and wave, but they don’t know Anything you can offer, he’s just bored He’s a-looking for something, though, that’s for sure. It’s the same world we’re sharing, same air we breathe But we just can’t imagine, what he perceives Been trying to find a way ‘round your invisible wall My son my son, I’ll never give up. He’s just out of reach Just out of touch Can’tcha connect with me Can’tcha tell how much I wanna be received He’s just out of reach Just out of synch I can tell that you’re here But I don’t know when your mind will be revealed. (CHORUS:) Just out of range, Just out of hearing. Just out of range, Just out of rhythm. Just out of range, Just out of sight, Never out of mind. Just out of range, Just out of givin’. He’s just out of reach Just out of range One day you’ll connect with me Hope you can sense how deep I really believe He’s just out of synch Just out of touch Sometimes it feels you’re so near Won’tcha tell me when your mind will be revealed? (CHORUS) Just out range, there’s a boy ... He’s so near I can feel him I wanna know him I wanna know him. (CHORUS).
