All this time I've been waiting For somebody to tell me the truth I've been disappointed and disillusioned Oh you know that I, I expected more from you But now I've opened up my eyes I see that everybody lies I should trust you and I should love you You tell me that I, I should build statues bearing your name - well I don't think so Now all you politicians and holy rollers - self-righteous hypocrites You should all hang your heads in shame Now I've opened up my eyes I see that everybody lies There's always a new lie to try To pull the wool over our eyes All this time I've been wastin' Time and money I've wasted on you - I won't do that no more I'm sick and tired of all your lying And now I, I've got no more time for you no Now I've opened up my eyes I see that everybody lies Now I've opened up my eyes I see that everybody lies

Mask 03:18
Everybody told me that I was so naive To have trusted you, but I did not care Because I wanted so much to believe What you said was true But everything I thought I knew Was just another lie behind the mask you use And that's what you do with that mask you use That's what you do with that mask you use I tried to give you everything that a woman could want in this world And then I gave some more But now it's almost as if that doesn't matter at all as you walk Walk right out my door And everything I thought I knew Is just another lie behind the mask you use And that's what you do with that mask you use That's what you do with that mask you use After all of these years now all I'm left with are tears Of regret and confusion And I cannot believe these things are true Everybody told me that I was so naive To have trusted you, but I did not care Because I wanted so much to believe What you said was true But everything I thought I knew Is just another lie behind the mask you use And that's what you do with that mask you use I hope that someday somebody else does exactly the same things to you

Miss Wrong 04:00
There's a woman, I know you've seen her Her favorite hobby is wrecking lives She's got the motive, she's got the means and Her legs are as are sharp as stiletto knives There's a woman, I know you've seen her You think that she will believe your lies She's got her own ways, she got her own games She's got a plan to leave you high and dry I'm here to tell you how this is gonna happen She doesn't care about your heart and soul, no And all of the other girls standing in the corner Hate that she can live her life this way but She just walks right in and finds her man And he doesn't stand a chance She will leave him empty and wanting more And the truth is that she just doesn't care There's a woman, I know you've seen her She's the one with the bedroom eyes She knows no limits and she has no shame She'll use her body just to make you cry I'm here to tell you how this is gonna happen She doesn't care about your hopes and dreams, no And all of the other girls standing in the corner Hope that she will catch some bad disease but She doesn't care She just walks right in and finds her man And he doesn't stand a chance She will leave him broken on her dirty floor And the truth is that she just doesn't Care about the consequences of A nightlife made of sin She knows that she'll wind up all alone And the truth is that she just doesn't care She just doesn't care She just doesn't care

Mr. Wrong 04:15
What's your name, what's your sign, do you come here often? When I walk in a club well I'm a man on a mission I search through the crowds until I make a decision Blondes and brunettes and especially reds But it doesn't really matter once you're in my bed I'll whisper in your ear whatever you want to hear to sleep with me Did I see you in a magazine? Or in some commercial on the silver screen? Are you in movies - if not you could be Are you a model - well maybe baby you should be I'll whisper in your ear whatever you want to hear… You look so familiar haven't I seen you somewhere before? Well you know I could not help but notice how good you look spinning around the dance floor And it always starts off so harmlessly with just a drink and some talk at the bar And you know I'm smiling because I'm imagining us naked in the back of my car You look familiar have we met before? I will tell you that I want to have lots of children A white picket fence around the house that we'll live in We could have a swing set and a swimming pool Your mom and your dad can even move in too I'll whisper in your ear whatever you want to hear… You look so familiar haven't I seen you somewhere before? Well you know I could not help but notice how good you look spinning around the dance floor And it always starts off so harmlessly with just a drink and some talk at the bar And you know I'm smiling because I'm imagining us naked in the back of my car What's your name, what's your sign, do you come here often? Is that guy in the corner over there your boyfriend? Tell your girlfriends that you've got yourself another ride My car is warm and waiting right outside What's your name, what's your sign, do you come here often? You look so familiar haven't I seen you somewhere before? Well you know I could not help but notice how good you look spinning around the dance floor And it always starts off so harmlessly with just a drink and some talk at the bar And you know I'm smiling because I'm imagining us naked in the back of my car I'm Mr. Wrong What's your name, what's your sign, do you come here often?

Stalker 04:20
I can't remember all the things that I said But I'm not surprised that she could not forget She'd like to rip my tongue right out of my head But I can't say I'm sorry or that I regret... I felt her breath on the back of my neck Then it was her fist against the back of my head Pushing my face into the dirt it turned red She let me up and when I ran she said: Run a little faster, baby! Scream a little louder! I wanna hear you tell me that you love me right now And this time you had better mean it Or else I'm going to tear your beating heart from your chest right where you stand And then I'm gonna force you to eat it all I had no right to say the things that I said I never meant to mess around with her head I had no business climbing into her bed Her eyes were on fire as she stared and she said: Run a little faster, baby! Scream a little louder! I wanna hear you tell me that you love me right now And this time convince me that you mean it Or else I'm going to tear your beating heart from your chest right where you stand And then I'll make you watch while I eat it all She said now I know what thoughts are going through your mind You're wondering, am I about to die? Well just be quiet and if you do as I say Then maybe I'll let you go alive - I might But then again, I might not I felt her breath on the back of my neck Then it was her fist against the back of my head Pushing my face into the dirt it turned red She let me up and when I ran she said: Run a little faster, baby! Scream a little louder! She said, Hell has no fury like me

Grind 03:52
Come back to my place If you think that you're up to the task She said I'll show you my real face, honey When I take off my mask Make yourself comfortable Let's have another drink or two She's got a crazy look in her eyes I think she wants to... I think she wants to... GRIND - Grind me up in tiny pieces GRIND - Treat me like a piece of feces GRIND - Until there's almost nothing left GRIND - And make sure that I won't forget Sit a little closer, she said I know that you're not that shy I've got a feeling that's telling me That you're different from the other guys Tell me everything about yourself Where are you from and what do you do? She's got a crazy look in her eyes I think she wants to... I think she wants to... GRIND - Grind me up in tiny pieces GRIND - Treat me like a piece of feces GRIND - Until there's almost nothing left GRIND - And make sure that I won't forget I've got a feeling I should run for my life She's coming at me and she's holding a knife She's got a crazy look in her eyes I think she wants to... I think she wants to... GRIND

The Hammer 03:47
Well I've been watching you from beyond the shadows You're not the only one lurking in the shadows I've watched you slowly making your way down town Sliding in and out of all your hiding places You think you're unnoticed when you're in the big city As you're blending into the sea of faces But you're not invisible to me I will find you Well I don't think you're who you say you are I think there's something strange in everything that you do And I suspect there's something going on And I will find out - you can count on that And when I expose you I'll make your head spin I'll make your head spin around I remember the last time when they almost found you Trapped in that building while the cops surround you But somehow you managed an amazing escape All of law enforcement was confounded by you They couldn't kill or capture the serial killer And so they called in a new headhunter And that's why The Hammer's the only man The only man who can bring down the Lightning Man yeah Well I don't think you're who you say you are I think there's something strange in everything that you do And I suspect there's something going on And I will find out - you can count on that Whatcha gonna do Whatcha gonna do When the Hammer falls Down on you

I feel so confused I don't understand How can you throw away what you have in your hands? You say that your love is not the same anymore I want to show you my heart you want to show me the door There's nothing left for me to say or do because I know That it's not me it's you There's nothing left for me to say or do and now I know That it's not me it's you I'm not gonna cry I won't beg you to stay I don't want you to leave I know you'll go anyway We used to be so close we used to talk everyday But now it seems as though you've got nothing to say There's nothing left for me to say or do because I know That it's not me it's you There's nothing left for me to say or do and now I know That it's not me it's you Everybody in your life say they will never understand Look as much as you want - try as hard as you can But you won't find a better man for you than me I spent so much time I gave you all my love But now it seems as if that wasn't quite enough I wish I didn't feel like I was such a fool But now I know that it's not me it's you There's nothing left for me to say or do because I know That it's not me it's you There's nothing left for me to say or do and now I know That it's not me it's you

iGod 04:31
Instant messages and chat rooms too Whatever happened to you know who? They think they've found a perfect paradise But it's just a world made up of digital lies The more connected you think you are You’re an iGod now The further you’re actually drifting apart You’re an iGod now It's time to crucify your iGod - join the real world You spend your whole life online under all of your different screen names And all of your friends exist as zeroes and ones But can you even tell me when was the last time you walked outside and looked at the sun You said the sun is always shining on your PC - on your HD LCD Log on to your other life Where you have no children and you have no wife Friends are electric yes I guess it’s true But no one knows the real you The more connected you think you are You’re an iGod now The further you’re actually drifting apart You’re an iGod now It's time to crucify your iGod - join the real world You spend your whole life online under all of your different screen names And all of your friends exist as zeroes and ones But can you even tell me when was the last time you walked outside and looked at the sun You said the sun is always shining on your PC - on your HD LCD You’re on facebook and myspace too Thousands of "friends" are connected with you You blog and Twitter everything you do But no one knows the real you The more connected you think you are The further you’re actually drifting apart Kill your iGod now! Kill your iGod now! And join the real world You spend your whole life online under all of your different screen names And all of your friends exist as zeroes and ones But can you even tell me when was the last time you walked outside and looked at the sun You said the sun is always shining on your PC - on your HD LCD Join the real world

Heading off into the great unknown Discovery's flying where no one has flown There's a secret that only HAL knows I'm on a mission far away from home I never thought I'd wind up all alone Now I follow this signal Across the universe As I travel through the skies I'm lost somewhere in space and time I hope I'll find my way home soon Don't leave me cosmically marooned Flying through the blackest of night My instruments failed I'm flying blind Please help me find my way home soon I'm somewhere near Jupiter's moon Oxygen's running low I fear I can scream as loud as I want - Across the vacuum of space no one hears (me) I'm on a mission far away from home I never thought I'd wind up all alone Now I follow this signal Across the universe I want to go home I want to go home Take me home Take me home I wanted to go there, I wanted to see If there was anyone else out there besides you and me But as I've grown older and space has grown colder Now all I want is to go home

In this silence there is no solace There's no comforting a wounded heart When only time will heal I know you need me I know you miss me If it was up to me I'd still be there when You open up your eyes Remember now... Even in those moments when I'm not there My arms are always around you When you're tired, sad and lonely My love will be there to surround you When everything in your life has turned sour When you find yourself struggling through your darkest of hours My love will be there to surround you My arms are always around you I know you're crying I know you're trying I know you're doing the very best that you can In an overwhelming time I know you need me I know you miss me If it was up to me I'd still be there when You open up your eyes Remember now...

We Are Alone 05:11
There's something missing in every life It's an intangible and yet it somehow keeps us up at night While we struggle with this yearning And a mocking world just keeps turning around and around And it's so elusive - it slips through our fingers Just beyond our reaching hands is where we think the answer lingers And taunts us as we try to figure it out What's the secret of life before we die I don't believe that there's anyone out there Who's watching over everything that we do No I don't believe that we will find divine answers There's just me and you There's pain and suffering in every life And there are so many questions about what's truly wrong and right And we sit here in our collective ignorance And we make judgments that have no real significance to the rest of the world I don't believe that we'll face damnation Even living in this evil world that we do But I don't believe that we'll find salvation There's just me and you My conscience begs me almost every night To seek truth and kindness in every life But I'm exhausted although I still try to figure it out What's the secret of life before I die I don't believe that there's anyone out there Who's watching over everything that we do No I don't believe that we will find divine answers There's just me and you And that's the secret of life The only real secret is we are alone
