I CAN NEVER GET USED TO VIOLENCE
I CAN NEVER GET USED TO STUPIDITY
I CAN NEVER GET USED TO IGNORANCE
I CAN NEVER GET USED TO BLOOD

A BAD DREAM IS ON AND WE’RE ON THE RUN
WHEN IT’S GONE THERE’S ANOTHER ONE
IT JUST GOES ON AND ON AND ON

I CAN NEVER GET USED TO BORDERS
I CAN NEVER GET USED TO REFUGEES
I CAN NEVER GET USED TO MARTYRS
I CAN NEVER GET USED TO GOD

A BAD DREAM IS ON AND WE’RE ON THE RUN
WHEN IT’S GONE THERE’S ANOTHER ONE
IT JUST GOES ON AND ON-AND ON AND ON- AND ON AND ON

SITTING UP LIKE A DOG IN THE THEATRE
LOOKING OUT FOR SOMEONE TO BE LEADING US
IN A SCENE ANYONE COULD BE CHEATING US
I LEAVE THE ROOM LONG BEFORE SOMEONE’S FREEING US
TURN AWAY FROM THE HEART OF THE SCENERY
LOVE IS LOST, LOVE IS GONE IN MACHINERY
IF THIS IS REAL TO ME, HOW DOES IT FEEL FOR YOU

IF ONLY WE COULD CHANGE THE WEATHER….

ONE HUNDRED MILLION REASONS
REASONS TO STAY ALIVE
JUST GIVE EM UP FOR FREEDOM
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE
HOW TO DEFEND POSSESION
AND HOW TO KILL FOR MORE
TEACH YOU TO DIE FOR NOTHING
TEACH YOU TO FIGHT A WAR

ON EVERYBODY HIDING
THEY HAD YOU SHOOT A GUN
AND AS THEY CRIED FOR MERCY
YOU KILLED THEM ON THE RUN
IN THE NAME OF SOME RELIGION
A MILLION WORDS OR MORE
YOU CLAIMED THEM TO BE SACRET
BUT IT’S JUST A PAGAN WAR

A PAINLESS OPERATION
A RAGE FROM DOOR TO DOOR
A PAINFULL EXHEBITION
REVEILS THE FACE OF WAR

I TRUST MY HOLY WEAKNESS
SO I JUST DIDN’T GO
SOMEHOW, I STILL BELIEVE IN
THE POINTLESSNESS OF WAR

WE’RE NOTHING BUT JUST ANIMALS
SIPPING FROM THE WATERFALL AND FREE
A LITTLE PARANOID AS NATURE IS DICTATING US TO BE
ALLTHOUGH IT’S EASY NOT TO CHANGE
THERE’S ALWAYS CHOISES TO BE MADE
IT’S ALWAYS NOW OR NEVER
AND WINTER’S ALWAYS ON ITS WAY

AS FAR AS I KNOW
AS WELL AS YOU KNOW
AS LONG AS WE ALL KNOW
THE MORE THAT WE KNOW
THE LESS THAT WE GROW
AND WINTER IS ALWAYS ON ITS WAY

DRIFTING OVER BATTLEFIELDS
NO ONE HERE’S STILL SAFE TODAY
AND WE DON’T KNOW JUST WHAT TO FEEL
WE WET OUR PANTS ALONG THE WAY
WE COULD RUN OR HIDE FOREVER
THERE’S ALWAYS CHOISES TO BE MADE
IT’S ALWAYS NOW OR NEVER
AND WINTER IS ALWAYS ON ITS WAY

I KNOW IT’S EASY NOT TO CHANGE
THERE’S ALWAYS CHOISE TO BE MADE

AS FAR AS I KNOW, AS WELL AS YOU KNOW
WINTER IS ALWAYS ON ITS WAY

AS WELL AS YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS WE ALL KNOW
WINTER IS ALWAYS ON ITS WAY

A PROMISE OF THE RECORD COMPANY SHUT YOU DOWN
YOU WOULD BE, SAID THE PROMISE, THE MOST GLORIOUS AROUND
YOU SHOOK OF INNER WARS AND LEFT ALL DOUBTS BEHIND
NOW YOU´RE BACK ON COLLISION COURSE JUST BECAUSE THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS

ON YOUR KNEES IN THE HEADLIGHTS
AT YOUR HEELS THERE’S A BLACK NIGHT
AND YOU FEAR….. THE FUCKING WHEEL
THE WHEEL, JUST SING ME SONG

IN YOUR BRITTLE PARTY HEAVEN
YOU WERE HANGING THE BALLOONS
INVITED ALL YOUR LOVED ONES

THE DREAM WAS FADING SOON
NO ONE´S ANSWERING YOUR CALLS
AND BEFORE IT DAWNED TO YOU
THEY DROVE THE DAGGER IN YOUR SOUL
IT WASN’T JUST A CHOISE, IT WASN´T YET THE TIME
AS YOU DREW THE FINAL CURTAIN IN 1999

YOU FEAR….. THE FUCKING WHEEL
THE WHEEL, JUST SING ME SONG

TOO YOUNG TOO SOON
YOU´RE THE ONE WHO´S MISSING
COME LOOK US UP
WE CAN STILL HEAR YOU WHISPER
SING US A SONG

WE´RE STILL SINGING YOUR SONG
WE´RE ALL SINGING YOUR SONG

WINNING!

SUMMER IN MY HEAD,  EVEN MY MOTHER TALKS TO ME
FROM UNDERNEATH HER VOICE A WAGON’S CALLING ME
AND I REACH OUT FOR THE CALL, TRY SOME PRAYER ON MY KNEES
NO MORE TROUBLE FROM BEHIND, NO MORE SHADOW OVER ME

THE WINDING ROAD FOREVER
DIRECTIONLESS AND FREE
AND YOU ARE ON MY WAGON
YOU WERE ALWAYS IN MY BLOOD
YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND

YES IT’S FOOLISH, AS IN OLD RELIGIONS
ILLUSIONS TO BELIEVE IN
BUT IF EVERYONE NEEDS SOMETHING
AND SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN
THEN I BELIEVE IN LOVE, THEN I BELIEVE IN YOU

AND SUMMER EVEN DRIES THE OCEANS OF OUR HISTORY
FROM UNDERNEATH THE SOIL, A SPIRIT’S CALLING ME
ALL ILLUSION TURNS TO REAL AND I’M LAUGHING ON MY KNEES
NO MORE NOISE BETWEEN THE WALLS, NO MORE WALLS TO HIDE THE TRUTH

THE WINDING ROAD FOREVER
DIRECTIONLESS AND FREE
YOU’RE STILL ON MY WAGON
YOU WERE ALWAYS IN MY BLOOD
YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND

YES IT’S FOOLISH, AS IN OLD RELIGIONS
ILLUSIONS TO BELIEVE IN
BUT IF EVERYONE NEEDS SOMETHING
AND SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN,
THEN I BELIEVE IN LOVE, THEN I BELIEVE IN YOU

IF EVERYONE NEEDS SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
THEN I BELIEVE IN LOVE

IF EVERYONE NEEDS SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN
SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN
THEN I BELIEVE IN YOU

WATCHING THEM ALL AS THEY FALL
NO ONE AROUND HERE TO CALL
NO ONE AROUND HERE TO TURN TO
THERE’S NO ONE THERE AT ALL

COME WALTZ WITH ME
ON THE EDGE OF SANITY
WALTZ ME FREE

SOME SAY WE ARE MISTAKEN
SOME SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
LET’S SIT AND TALK AROUND THE TABLE
LET’S SIT AND TALK ABOUT LOVE

COME WALTZ WITH ME
ON THE EDGE OF LIBERTY
WALTZ ME FREE

A VOICE BEHIND THE SCENES
SHINES LIKE A SILVER DREAM
COOKING THE STUFF THAT WE NEED
SHINES LIKE A HOT SUMMER BREEZE

COME WALTZ WITH ME
ON THE EDGE OF SANITY
WALTZ ME FREE

A WALTZ FOR DAYS, A WALTZ FOR NIGHTS
A WALTZ TO LAUGH AND A WALTZ TO CRY
A WALTZ FOR YES AND A WALTZ FOR WHY
A WALTZ FOR TRUTH AND A WALTZ FOR LIES
A WALTZ TO FREEZE, A WALTZ TO FRIE
A WALTZ TO LIVE, A WALTZ TO DIE

THE DESSERT’S GETTING WARMER
ALL THE ANIMALS FRY
YOUR SKIN GETS DRYER
YOU’LL BE THIRSTY LIKE A LITTLE CHILD
BUT IT’S ALLRIGHT

YOUR BLOOD’S BEEN GROWNING THICKER
STILL YOUR HEART KEEPS TICKING ON
THE TOUGH THING ABOUT ROCK’N ROLL
IS THAT THE SHOW KEEPS GOING ON
BUT IT’S ALLRIGHT

WORDS LIE, WORDS KILL, WORDS DIE
PURPLE FULL MOON NIGHT SKY

FULL MOON CREEPING IN
HOT WINDS BLOWING IN
WATER COOLS THE SKIN

IT CAN’T BE COMPLICATED
WHEN IT’S SIMPLE AS HELL
LIVE’S THE BIGGEST STRUGGLE
AND YOU’RE LIVING IT SO WELL
SO WELL

HOT WINDS BLOWING IN
WATER COOLS THE SKIN
