Album Lyrics

1. So Right So Wrong

On the move, on the run – as it used to be
Is it fear, is it faith – that is leading me
Straight ahead, miles away – from the misery of wasted years?

Turning down – switching off all my memories
Cutting loose – leaving out friends and enemies
Every word, every face – trying to forget while shifting gears

Can you tell me how, can you tell me why
Anything you say seems to be a lie?
Can you tell me what made you change? So long!
Used to be so right now it feels so wrong

As I’m looking back in anger
Over this no man’s land, trying hard to understand…

Can you tell me how, can you tell me why
Everything you’ve said seems to be a lie?
Never thought I’d leave the place where I belong
Used to feel so right but now it feels so wrong

Was it you, was it me? – I don’t really care
By the end of the day – is it so unfair
To retreat and forget – all the promises you made? I know

“If you do, if you don’t” – as I heard them say
“You’ll be damned” – only I did it anyway
Packing up, getting out – really sorry but I had to go!

Can you tell me how, can you tell me why
Anything you say seems to be a lie?
Can you tell me what made you change? So long!
Used to be so right now it feels so wrong
Now it feels so wrong!
Over this no man’s land, trying hard to understand…

Can you tell me how, can you tell me why
Everything you’ve said seems to be a lie?
Never thought I’d leave the place where I belong
Used to feel so right but now it feels so wrong
So wrong…
So…
So wrong…

You can break my heart, you can break my soul
You can even say that it’s all my fault
Go ahead, I see you’re on a roll – but it felt so right

Can you tell me how, can you tell me why
Anything you say seems to be a lie?
Can you tell me what made you change? So long!
Used to be so right now it feels so wrong
(Can you tell me how, can you tell me why)
Everything you’ve said seems to be a lie?
Never thought I’d leave the place where I belong
Used to feel so right but now it feels so wrong
Can you tell me how, can you tell me why
Anything you say seems to be a lie?
Can you tell me what made you change? So long!
Used to be so right now it feels so wrong!

As I’m looking back in anger
Over this no man’s land, trying hard to understand, understand!

Can you tell me how, can you tell me why
Everything you’ve said seems to be a lie?
Never thought I’d leave the place where I belong
Used to feel so right but now it feels so wrong
So wrong!

2. May You Never (Walk Alone)

May you never walk alone, forgotten down this road – so lonely
The one and only, far away
You’re never on your own, I’m crying out “so long” forever
And “may you never… walk alone!”

I have been stuck behind this wobbly desk for hours now
I don’t know how and where to start – so pointless, so grotesque:
A dire plight but what to write about you but “I miss you so”?
My mind is empty… here I go

May you never walk alone, forgotten down this road – so lonely
The one and only, far away
You’re never on your own, I’m crying out “so long” forever
And “may you never walk alone!”
Walk alone!

As twilight turned to dawn an empty page was all I had, I’m going mad
What to remember – neither saint nor sage… or just like me – so can’t you see
Now as your image fades away the only thing that’s left to say… (left to say)

May you never walk alone, forgotten down this road – so lonely
The one and only, far away
You’re never on your own, who cares about what they’re saying?
Just hear me praying, listen

May you never be afraid
It doesn’t matter where you’re going without knowing either way
You’ll never be betrayed
I’m crying out “so long” forever
And may you never walk alone…
Walk alone

I have been stuck behind this wobbly desk for hours now
I don’t know how
And where to start – so pointless, so grotesque:
A dire plight but what to write?
It’s like every word’s been said before so I can’t do it anymore… (anymore)
Anymore! (anymore)

May you never walk alone, forgotten down this road – so lonely
The one and only, far away
You’re never on your own, no, who cares about what they’re saying?
Just hear me praying, listen
May you never be afraid
It doesn’t matter where you’re going without knowing either way
You’ll never be betrayed
I’m crying out “so long” forever
And may you never walk alone!
(May… walk alone)
May you never walk alone…
(May… on your own)
May you never walk alone…

3. Heart on a Platter

Tie me down; never let me go ’til
The end of my days
Cut me loose – and before you
Know I’ll be lost in a maze
Lift me up to a higher ground
Elevate me and don’t
Let me down – ‘cuz I’d stick
Around right here on my own,
My heart’s turning
Slowly to stone

Shake me up, let me feel alive
While I’m sure that you will
Wear me out – guess I would
Survive, sign me up for that thrill
One step forward – it’s not so
Much yet I hope you won’t take
Two steps back
Cuz I’d lose my touch…
It keeps me awake
So give me a break

My heart’s on a platter
So laugh up your sleeve…
It’s easy, I know, but you might
Just try to give in, you could try to believe
My heart’s on a platter tonight

4. A Tear in the Rain

Yesterday is over: dead and gone
Cold and grey – so what’re you dwelling on?
Dwelling on
(A fortune made and lost? Just counting up the cost?)
You better keep your fingers crossed

(Storm is coming today, well get running)
Get lost
(Keep on steering away, disappearing)
Get lost!

Time has come for us to count the score:
Tell me what have you been fighting for?
Fighting for
(A little bit of fame? Seems like a modest claim)
No one will ever know your name, your name

(A little bit of fame?)
(A little bit of fame?)
(Seems like a modest claim)
(Seems like a modest claim)

(No one will ever know)
(No one will ever know) your name, your name!

Storm is coming today, well get running
Off you go ball and chain, and chain
Keep on steering away, disappearing
Like a tear in the rain, the rain, the rain
(Life’s been wasted so far) can you face it?
Does it drive you insane? Insane
Scary feeling: (you are) disappearing
Like a tear in the rain, the rain, rain!
(Storm is coming today, well get running)
(Keep on steering away, disappearing)
The rain!
(Life’s been wasted so far, can you face it?)
The rain!

5. Until the Day

Another year has passed
Another wrinkled page’s been turned
God knows it’s not the last
I’ve learned, I’ve learned

I’ve learned to hold on tight
And how to make it on my own
But in the middle of the night I’d moan!…

I’ll wait, wait until the day
My bleeding heart stops until I pray
“Is anybody up there? So guide me with thy grace”
I’m getting ready… just to see your face, your face

How come: you slipped away
And yet it feels you’re everywhere
I miss you every single day, I swear (oh) I swear!

I’ll wait (wait), wait until the day (until the day)
My bleeding heart stops until I pray
“Is anybody up there? So guide me with thy grace”
I’m getting ready just to see your face

I’ll live (live), live until the sign (until the sign)
Shows at my door, all the stars aligned
Then I’ll know what’s coming… a little price to pay
So I’ll be waiting right until the day (the day)
Oh right until that day

Another year has passed
Another wrinkled page’s been turned (ah…)
How do I know it’s not the last?
I’ve learned (oh) by now

I’ll wait (wait), wait until the day (until the day)
My bleeding heart stops but now I pray
“Is anybody up there? So guide me with thy grace”
I’m getting ready just to see your face

6. Riches to Rags

I’ve been around way too long to care or wonder
Why am I bound to witness all this mess? I guess
Wherever you go – it’s the same, so I’m sure it’s a name of the game
If you’re quick on a trigger (quick on a trigger), richer and bigger (richer and bigger)
You’d stay a bit longer, get a bit stronger, hope for the best, it’s alright

I’ve been around way too long to care or wonder
Who’s going down, who’s to blame or why… oh my
Do as you pleased but watch out
Oh here’s what I’m talking about
Hurry, pick up your number (pick up your number)
Oh who’s going under? (Who’s going under?)
Look at these faces, glittering places…
There is no easy way out

You can save every dime, hide or bury it all
But the higher you climb… even harder you fall
Carry on, don’t be shy – keep on stuffing these bags
In a blink of an eye… you’ll go from riches to rags!
(You can save every dime) hide or bury it all
But the higher you climb… even harder you fall
Carry on, don’t be shy – keep on stuffing these bags
In a blink of an eye… you’ll go from riches to rags!
(Don’t forget! Then again… go ahead)
Carry on, don’t be shy – keep on packing these bags
In a blink of an eye… you’ll go from riches to rags…

7. Way Too Late

Sometimes I feel so lost, so off the track
And yes, I know – there is no going back
Trying to remember that point of no return
When all those bridges burned…

Somewhere in time I am a little kid
No second thoughts, no matter what you did
There’s always someone to catch you if you’d fall
I know you’re nearby, can you hear my call? My call!

If I could hit rewind, re-watch, relive, refine…
Still waiting for a sign, another chance to put the record straight
‘Cause I’m no longer scared to tell how much I cared
These words I should have shared…
I know, I know, I know it’s way too late
(If I could hit rewind, re-watch, relive, refine…)
Still waiting for a sign, another chance to put the record straight
(‘Cause I’m no longer scared to tell how much I cared)
These words I should have shared…
I know, I know, I know it’s way too late…

(Years passing by) yet this kind of wound never heal
(Words can’t describe) the pain or the way that I feel

I know I’ve never been a perfect son
Forgive me for my “living on the run”
It’s the same old story, but now we’re worlds apart
I am so sorry if I broke your heart! Yeah, yeah!

Oh it’s way too late…

8. How Do You Know

On the highest of mountains
On the shiniest throne
In a circle of fountains
Out of reach and all alone
Every move is majestic
Every word’s pure gold
As a simple domestic
I’m all ears, lo and behold…

(How do you) know what’s wrong and know what’s right?
(How do you) let me ask you, inside

After years of rejection
You are finally there
Closest thing to perfection
Heart of stone, an empty stare
In the kingdom of madness
You’re an essence of good
Yet you’re drowning in sadness
A lonely soul misunderstood

(How do you) know what’s wrong and know what’s right?
(How do you) let me ask you, inside

How do you know what’s wrong, what’s right?
How do you see the other side?
How do you feel night after night watching the darkness grow?
How do you know if it’s alright judging without a second sight?
How can you live in black and white?
How do you know? How do you know?
(How do you know?)
(How do you feel?)
How do you know if it’s alright (judging without)?
How can you live in black and white?
How do you know? How do you know?
