Star life is this who we are now
Do you realize how
We’re all made of stars
I’m not in your head
You’re telling me to hold on
Maybe for the last time
These days keep on drifting by
And so here we stay
Looking out at the sky
Star life is this who we are now
Do you realize how
We’re all made of stars
I’m not in your head
You’re telling me to hold on
Maybe for the last time
Well I swear
You’ve seen my face before
But you don’t know where
Well I know you
Hey I’m just passing through
We’re all looking out for our super stared
Star life is this who we are now
Do you realize how
We’re all made of stars
I’m not in your head
You’re telling me to hold on
Maybe for the last time
Is there any reason why?
With so much too lose
We hold it down inside
When will we
When will we choose a
Star life
This is who we are now
Do you realize how
We’re all made of stars
I’m not in your head
Telling me to hold on
Maybe for the last time
The last time
I’m not in your head

Can You Feel It
It’s alright
We’re still standing
It’s our time
Can you feel it now
You are my once in a lifetime
You are all that shines in me
While I learn to see
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
My body is my home
My lover you’re not alone
My brother we are free
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

Machines On Fire
She wants you back every time you go
She wants you back because you never know
What to do when your hands are free
You take her back every time you go
Take her back because you never know
What to do when her hands are free
She’s on fire
She’s on fire
She’s on fire
Machines on fire
Take her hand running through the night
You and me running for the light
All we see are cars stretched out for miles
Can you see?
In the towns underneath the stars
Close our eyes and all we dreamed was ours
Now we know we were never free
She’s on fire
She’s on fire
She’s on fire
Machines on fire
I know you can’t go
Down your line
I’m a simple man singing in the rain
We’ll die
I know you can’t go
She’s on fire
Machines on fire
She’s on fire
Machines on fire

Set You Free
What a beautiful day
Blue skies make it better
They can’t take this away
With you my life’s forever
Love will set you free
Only love will set you free
Love count on me
Only love will set you free
So we rise up early
We rise up late
Nothing don’t matter take a chance on fate
And tonight we’re tripping
The beats are ripping
When I look at you
My heart starts kicking
Love will set you free
Only love will set you free
Love count on me
Only love will set you free
Set you free
Only love will set you free
Set you free
I’ll set you free
Set you free
Love will set you free
Only love will set you free
Love count on me
Only love will set you free

Better Man
I know who I want to be
But baby that just ain’t me
It’s a better man
I’m so pent up inside
I can’t see the light
To be a better man
If you would take my hand
Then I might understand
That I’m a better man
Because inside we all ache
We take just a little
We break just a little
We fake just a little bit more
Then we ache just a little
Break just a little
Take just a little bit mor
Well I’ve known you fro a long time
But I’ve I’ve never known you at all
Because I have seen you through childs eyes
To scared to let me fall
We take just a little
Break just a little
Fake just a little bit more
Then we ache just a little
Hate just a little
And break just a little bit more
She said live just a lttle
Give just a little
And love just a little bit more
Forgive just a little
You’re so little
It’s all just a little bit more
We all want to be with somebody we love
With someone who is there for us when we’re down
So we try again to fly again
Try and do it right again
In spite again
Is it all about love?
Back to top
Free World
It’s a hard life
But we will make it
In a world where noone knows your name
Been a long time
And still we take it
Because there’s no turning back
The same game
We just can’t break it
The vacant stares
One day we will make
And take control of the city
See all you people
Those boys have it pretty
Let’s go dance in the city
It’s a free world
They will tell you
Just do what you’re told
The tv’s blare the sirens scream
This nightmare this recurring dream
We could change this darling
Change this
And take control of the city
See all you people
Those boys have it pretty
Let’s go dance in the city
Do they not think we know?
Do they not think we know?
Let go..
Dance in the city
Change it’s beat
See all you people in the street
Thoses boys have it pretty
They have it sweet
Let’s go dance in the city
Dance in the city

One Last Breath
If you had one last breath
One last time
Close your eyes look deep inside
And see it all
If we had one last day
Is there anything you would do or say
I would taske you in my arms again
And forget it all
Close your eyes
Come stand with me
Close your eyes
So we can see
If you close your eyes darling
Close your eyes
With me
Don’t you know me
Don’t yu know me by now
Don’t you know me
Don’t you know
Do we take it
Or believe it
Don’t let this moment pass us by
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
I’ll be there
Close your eyes darling
Close your eyes
Close your eyes with me
I’ll be there

Where Is Summer
When outside it’s cold and wet
Leaves my life with sad regret
Birds don’t sing and days go slowly by
Captain! Captain! if you please
Send me sunshine send me peace
Looking out to the distant skies
Where is the summer?
Where is the summer?
It’s up there
Where is the summer?
Where is the summer?
It’s out there
When I saw your smiling face
You took me to a better place
Made me understand the things I’ve found
Now I’m sleeping in your bed the blue skies are still overhead
Though outside the rain is falling down
Where is the summer
Where s the summe
It’s up there
Where is the summer
Where is the summer
It’s out there
You tell me
Why we have have to
And then smile at me
And say
Oneday you’ll find your peace of mind
And be free
Oh where is the summer?
Where is the summer?
Where is the summer?
Oh where is the summer?
Where is the summer?
Where is the summer?
It’s up there
It’s out there
Back to top
In Time
Where does winter blow?
Our sorry minds away
I smile at you and say
If you’d only try
To say goodbye
You’ve one last chance
All our friends are low
Well careful how you go
Down your road
I might say
Yews I might say
I might say
The wrong things in time
Been walking on for miles
Time has changed my smile
It’s funny how we say
So little anyway
Still I might say
Well I might say
I might say
The wrong things in time
Some people walk alone
And sorry’s how the go
Will you take my hand
Take me down the line

World State
She called to say she’s moving out
Of the city because it’s gray and old
She wants to find
Where the wind blows
And where tales are told
She called because she’s alone
Wathcing the passers by
We’ve got to get out of here
She’s a flower in the snow
There’s an angel in her eye
Waiting to dissapear
She said
There’s a world state in this city
One breath is all we have
And the world state is a pity cause
What’s left is all we have
I’m tired of losing
I’m so tired of losing you
I get so lost
Trying to break on through
There’s a world in this city
One breath is all we have
And the world state is a pity cause
What’s left is all we have
And when you wake
Do you think you’ll break up
Because you never know
Where to go
There’s a world state
In the city
There’s a world state
In the city
But it’s all we
Is this all we have?
