Stop n Stare
what are you afraid of? �
tell me, tell me, tell me �
i wanna be scared, too �
n what do you pray for ? �
is it somethin you can�t afford to pay for? �
well, maybe time is back on your side again �
don�t even worry about it �
someday every loser�s got to win ��
we�re goin up n down, round n round �
here �n there, everywhere, stop n stare �
cuz none of it is really there ��
what have they been tellin you? �
doubt it, doubt it, doubt it �
maybe none of it is true �
n what do you believe in? �
is it somethin maybe I just ain�t seein? �
sometimes when no one's on your side �
it�s cool if ya think about it �
like a roller-coaster ride ��
we�re goin up n down, round n round �
here �n there, everywhere, stop n stare �
cuz none of it is really there

Shadows
seven horses stride, without riders �
cross the murdered plain �
carryin torches, settin the courses �
for the soldier without a name �
maybe he just wanted to see,
maybe all he ever needed was a chance to be free �
but they never tell ya what it�s like �
down this river at night once you�ve gone insane �
shadows sweep across the sky �
seven shadows screamin into the fire ��
the songs in your mind say pride is gonna get ya �
lemme tellya son, it just might know �
everywhere you been, anywhere you may go �
seven horses stridin, and until tonight you know they rode in vain �
but they never tell ya what it�s like �
down this river at night once you�ve gone insane �
shadows sweep across the sky �
seven shadows sleep for you n i

Somehow
somehow forgotten through the years �
but ya managed around somehow to survive your precious tears �
then they said it was supposed to last forever �
but now it sometimes seems like a dream �
i�ve seen the millions gettin high by the light of the silver sky �
nobody cares or dares anymore, that�s what it seems �
any way i could make you stay? �
i�d love to see ya shinin your light on the world again ��
d'ya know which way to go? �
when the cold wind blows, do you think you will run and hide, or are ya ready to take a ride? ��
the tears fall like rain n all the plastic people make their merry way �
but it doesn�t seem very different than the pain inside their hearts �
that makes them live to play and fight, all day and all night �
singin "help me 'fore i lose my way" ��
people come from miles around just to touch the sky �
some alive and some will try to fly �
no one wonders why it�s you and i they�ve been putting out of their minds �
n though the points�re changin as we wander down the lonely road �
still there seems another chance to be free �
somethin somewhere yet to be ��
here i stand on the lonely road �
n a noble voice says, "prophet, come to me" �
n I heard him say in quiet desperation, "let it be" �
n though the voices�re changin everything they say from day to day �
still there seems another chance to be free �
somethin somewhere yet to be ��
somehow your smiles removed my fears �
but what i thought was light in your eyes, i realize is only tears �
anyway, it was supposed to take away your pain �
remember how you danced in the rain �
but i still can see a smile behind the mask of a madman ��
d'ya know which way to go? �
when the cold wind blows, do you think you will run and hide, or are ya ready to take a ride?
