	Original cassette release 1985 CD remaster/reissue 1999   SHE'S SO COOL (Utley) See, there's this girl, and she's so, so very fine She makes the cars crash in my head She makes me think of ice & cats & candlelight She makes me dream of black & red Enchante, mademoiselle This girl's so cool that I put on my coat & gloves Whenever she walks in the room But I'm no fool, 'cause I found out just what she loves I know what makes her heart go Boom boom boom boom She's so cool Now I never meant to go & lose my mind But now I'm all in love with her It's another massacre for Saint Valentine She scratches me & I go Purrrrrrrrrrrr She's so cool   CAT WALK (Utley) In the night I prowl about & wonder Concrete, cool & grey & cracked asunder I'm going down to her house Spinning around in her house I scratch until she lets me in In the night I pad about & listen to lovers sigh I pray that I can still see in the dark Swimming in stars, I call her name Drowning my sorrows once again I sing an alley serenade Cat walk, silently I try to find her She don't hear a thing, I'm right behind her There is no sound that I could make That wouldn't cause my heart to break Don't want to make the same mistake   DANCING IN THE SHADOWS (Utley) I see you with new eyes, I see you dancing in the shadows You run & you hide but I see you dancing in the shadows It's all a part of me now And it's far too late for that now I need you beside me but you keep dancing in the shadows You're so deep inside me, why are you dancing in the shadows? It's all a part of me now And it's far too late for that now Everyone makes their mistakes But how many more does it take? A life here without you would be a life that's full of shadows And I'm all wrapped around you, why are you dancing in the shadows?   LIFE WITHOUT YOU (Utley) There must be something Something I can say to reach you It all means nothing Nothing when I'm here without you It all means nothing Doesn't mean a thing since you've been gone Sitting, waiting Life without you feels so wrong Anticipating Life without you takes so long It all means nothing Doesn't mean a thing since you've been gone Do you remember how it was before? You couldn't run away from what you started How can I just sit back & let you go When what we have is all I've ever wanted?   BLUE CREATURES (Utley) Across my eyes the shadows fall, across my eyes Deep in the night the voices softly whisper You lie in bed but you can't sleep, you call my name I wish that I could come & steal your sorrow Colour my eyes & paint my face, colour my eyes I play at night with all the sad blue creatures We rule the world this late at night, we rule this world Music from deep inside a bombed-out building We are the ones who stand outside the door Outcasts & shadows We stand alone We are the ones who hear the other voices My heart, my heart, it melts like wax inside my breast Dust in my mouth, I am poured out like water My hands are cut & bleeding from thorns on a rose Follow my heart just like a lamb to slaughter   AN ANTHEM (English) Why cry? They try to tell us we are wrong That's why we sing the rebel song We've been fighting from the beginning Who can tell just who is winning? Growing older every day Growing wise along the way Don't they listen, don't they hear? Can't they just look past our years? Why does it have to be "us & them"? Can't it be a "we" again? Is loving us so hard to do When we've always trusted you? Going further every day Hearing less of what they say The difference growing, growing bold Between growing up & growing old   GOD, GUTS & GUITARS (Utley) Speak to me of heaven, tell me of the glory I'm learning of the torment, I need to get the story Speak to me of beauty, reveal to me the light Play the notes that make me cry, just please play them tonight   Speak to me of heaven, tell me of your vision For you I closed my idol eyes & set out on this mission Speak through me with beauty, sing through me with grace Tell them they are not alone in the struggle that they face   RAZORBLADE (Utley) I am a razorblade, coolly sitting in the shade The light hurts my eyes I long to see the light, I hunger for the truth But something's wrong with me, I do the things I hate to do I don't know why it happens that way, I don't know why I am an architect Romantic buildings, quite erect, all built on sand I have a photograph, taken right before it rained It tears me right in half to think our love was all in vain I don't know why it happened that way, I don't know why I am an alleycat, out of my habitat in your neighborhood Can you come out and play? I've got some time to burn I've got so much to say, we've got so much to learn Don't run away, I'm begging you please, don't run away I am a razorblade   GOODBYE TO HER TODAY (Utley) I never thought I'd see the day When I'd get up & walk away I said goodbye to her today I said goodbye to her today I've gone as far as I could go But I just had to let it go I said goodbye to her today I said goodbye to her today I hit so hard, it came so fast The only thing that I thought would last Lies at my feet like broken glass I never thought I'd see the day When I'd get up & walk away I said goodbye to her today I said goodbye to her today I wonder why it gets so cold And these tears I cry for what I don't know Why do I have to let her go?   I WANNA BE HER MAN (Utley) Got a little girl, make my heart beat faster Hair like silk & skin like alabaster Bats her eyes, says "baby, please" Knocks me to my knees I wanna be her man She drive a little Honda CVCC Always looks sharp when she comes to see me Bats her eyes, says "baby, please" Knocks me to my knees I wanna be her man I wanna be her man I'll do the best I can I know you understand I wanna be the only one They say she come from California And all my friends said "We tried to warn ya" But she bats her eyes, says "baby, please" Knocks me to my knees I wanna be her man Pretty little girl got me in her power She got lips like a hot-house flower And she bats her eyes, says "baby, please" Knocks me to my knees I wanna be her man   SHOUT (Utley) I wanna shout I wanna scream until my voice is gone Just let it out Somebody tell me what is goin' on I wanna shout I wanna pick up my guitar & wail There ain't no doubt I been to heaven, baby, this is hell I wanna shout I wanna get up on the roof & scream Just let it out Baby, I think you know just what I mean   OUR GENERATION (Utley) We are older, we are wiser, & we show no hesitation We have thrown away disguises Talkin' 'bout our generation This is our generation This is our generation We have witnessed love in action, we accept no imitation Gonna start a chain reaction Talkin' 'bout our generation Our generation knows no age Our generation knows no race This is our generation, baby This is our generation This is our generation Sing a new song, sing your own song, sing a song of celebration Lift your hearts & lift your voices Talkin' to our generation This is our generation This is our generation Youth is kept within your heart & age is no consideration Hope I die before I get cold Talkin' 'bout our generation Our generation will be heard Our generation, this whole world This is our generation, baby This is our generation This is our generation   ROCK MY SOUL (Utley) Hey hey baby, baby put away the gun Now don't be crazy, baby you're the only one Now I don't know, baby, I don't know what you been told But you're the only one, baby, the only one that rocks my soul I didn't do it, baby No no no no no no no no no no no Hey hey baby, baby what is wrong with you? Oh I'd do anything, baby, just to keep from hurting you Because your good love, baby, is far more precious than gold And you're the only one, baby, the only one that rocks my soul I really love you, baby I do   LOVE WILL BREAK (Utley) A night to remember The last burning ember was killed by the ice in your words Baby, you were the life in me You stuck the knife in me You have our blood on your hands But I know I know someday you will understand, I know I know someday you'll be where I am And love will break your heart Love will break your heart Gun to my head All the things that you said flew like cold winter wind through my mind Baby, you were the life in me You stuck the knife in me You have our blood on your hands   MAMA (English) Awake from nightmares, cry in fear So long avoided, fate draws near Her breath is foul, her smile invites To taste the horrors of the night Welcome your future in the night There rests no hope in fight or flight You've looked your last upon the light Invoke your gods to spare your life From eyes that cut you like a knife From words that reek of tragedy Mama, hold me Mama, hold me Mama, hold me Mama, love me How could the love that kept you sane Transform to poison in your vein? The moonlit graveyard feels so still It knows there's one more grave to fill Yes, there's just one more grave to fill Someone must die & someone will Who shall be killed and who shall kill? The dance begins, your eyes meet hers Lost lyric in maternal slurs If death must come, then let it be Mama, hate me Mama, hate me Mama, hate me Mama, save me   VAMPYR (Utley) "Lust is blood and blood is living, look into my eyes", she said, "Take this gift that I am giving and you will never die" And I am falling under and I am crawling underground And in my ears the thunder of a heartbeat slowing down Flashing white against the darkness/Darting victim eyes Scent of fear, intoxication/Can you feel the passion rise? And I am falling under and I am crawling underground And in my ears the thunder of a heartbeat slowing down Lust is blood and blood is living/Look into my eyes Take this gift that we are giving and you will never die And you are falling under for we have come to take you down We move inside a shadow and you will never hear a sound ...don't be afraid...   ***CD Bonus Tracks***   CAROL (Utley) She kisses like a china doll But I don't stand a chance at all She says she's afraid of me Doesn't want to hear me talk this way But when she turns her eyes on me Everything just fades away She walks in like a breath of air I hear the melody the moonlight plays upon her hair But she doesn't want to know about it Doesn't want to hear me talk this way But when she turns her eyes on me Oh the real world fades away Out here in the shadows by your window You know it feels so cold But Carol When you're near me Do forgive me But I don't feel so far from home Or so alone She speaks to me in silent words That I almost wish I'd never heard 'Cause she doesn't want to know about it Doesn't want to hear me talk this way But when she turns her eyes on me Everything just fades away   HAPPY (Utley) I just wanna be happy I just wanna be left alone I just wanna feel safe sometimes Get so tired of being human Get so tired of doubt & pain Just wanna know the reason why Wanna live in a better world Wanna live in a better world Wanna live in a better world Wanna live in a better world I don't understand killing I don't understand guns I'm afraid of nuclear war I'm afraid of being murdered Don't want the women I love To be afraid of being raped Everything is crashing cymbals Everything is all confused Nothing makes any fucking sense Everything is crashing cymbals Everything is all confused Nothing makes any sense Help me I just wanna be happy I just wanna be left alone I just wanna feel safe sometimes Wanna be with the woman I love Wanna be with the woman I love Wanna be with the woman I love Wanna be with the woman I love Is that too much to ask?????   "Black Not Blue" lyrics "Secret Desire" lyrics "Stop the Car" lyrics "Crash" lyrics
