When blood sees blood
Of its own
It sings to see itself again
It sings to hear the voice it’s known
It sings to recognize the faceOne body split and passed along the line
From the shoulder to the hip
I know these bones as being mine
And the curving of the lipAnd my question to you is:
How did this come to pass?
How did this one life fall so far and fast?Some are lean and some with grace, and some without;
All tell the story that repeats
Of a child who had been left alone at birth
Left to fend and taught to fightSee his eyes and how they start with light
Getting colder as the pictures go
Did he carry his bad luck upon his back?
That bad luck we’ve all come to knowAnd my question to you is:
How did this come to pass?
How did this one life fall so far and fast?When blood sees blood
Of its own
It sings to see itself again -
White teeth and black leather
You and I would go good together, baby
Black soul, white feathers
You and I would go good togetherThat smile
Don’t know whether you should break my heart
Or put me together
And those eyes
I don’t know whether we should just stay friends
Or if we should get togetherRide baby, ride
Ride baby, ride
But you and I would go good togetherWhite teeth and black leather
You and I would go good together, baby
Black soul, white feathers
You and I would go good togetherThat smile
Don’t know whether you should break my heart
Or put me together
And those eyes
I don’t know whether we should just stay friends
Or if we should get togetherRide baby, ride
Ride baby, ride
But you and I would go good together babeI hope you won’t throw it all away
I give you a million reasons to stay
I hope you won’t throw it all away
I give you a million reasons to stayRide baby, ride (oh no, you know it)
Ride baby, ride (baby if you ride with me)
Ride baby, ride (oh no, you know it)
Ride baby, ride (baby if you ride with me)

But you and I would go good together babe -
There’s a little old town and it’s tucked away on an island on the sea
So far away from everything, where time it don’t mean a thing
And time moves slow and certainly we got no place to be
Where’s there’s love there is life, there is a hope and a dream
This is the place for you and meWe can go, we can stay
We can hide, we can run away
We can feel and swim in the ocean
We’ve fallen, love keeps callingI found love in the strangest places, where all is meant to be
Jamming to the sounds of your favorite song, I said good love is all we need
And when you get down, turn it up loud, and soon we’ll feel at peace
When the world does you wrong, you listen to that song, like the birds, they listen to the treesThere’s a fire on the horizon
There’s a fire, so let it burn
We can get higher over the mountain
We’ve fallen, love keeps callingIn this jungle, we are all just animals
We’re criminals, but we’re innocent always
In this jungle, we are all just animals
We’re criminals, but we’re innocent alwaysSo many miles I’ve walked
So many rivers I’ve crossed
So many battles I’ve lost,
Make me who I am today
And when tomorrow it comes,
There’ll be a brand new sun
This song is not over,
It’s just begunThere’s a fire on the horizon
There’s a fire, so let it burn
We can get higher over the mountain
We’ve fallen, love keeps calling -
Dearest – though you’re the nearest to my heart
please don’t ever – umm ya
ever say we’ll partYou scold and you were so bold
yes together – umm ya
our love will grow old – umm ya
our love will grow oldYou may be a million miles away
please believe me – umm ya
when you hear me say
I love you – I love youCome home – keep me from these sleepless nights
try my love again – umm ya
I’m gonna treat you right – umm ya
I’m gonna treat you rightMy body’s in the summer storm
And my mind is with the feeling after
Old memories I can’t let go
I’m moving on but they run fasterMy morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right
Stillness in the ways I try
And then you walk on byMy body says the water’s cold
But my mind will have a way to cross it
And I know I held the time so dear
And the feeling it was here, I lost itMy morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right
Stillness in the ways I try
And then you walk on byIn a patch in the forest
Little bells hang from the tree
And I ring them so gently
What if you heard me now, my dear?My body’s with the birds in me
But my mind is with the times they’re leaving
I want them but I let them go
There’s a sparkle in the dust I breathe inMy morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right
Stillness in the ways I try
And then you walk on byMy morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right, oh
Stillness in the ways I try
As I lean into the morning light
It’s like my body’s in some other town
And then you walk on by -
All my heroes start as villains
Don’t need the glory, flip the finger to establishment
I tried to work, without or within
But the clothes don’t fit
On my skin
All my heroes start as villainsHad a dream so good that I didn’t wanna wake up
It was you and I and nobody tried to interrupt
It was on that beach, in Nayarit
I had a dream so good that I didn’t wanna wake up
Had a dream so good that I didn’t wanna wake upMy life with a lover (oh oh oh)
My life with a lover
My life with a lover (oh oh oh)All my heroes start as villains
Don’t need the glory, flip the finger to establishment
I tried to work, without or within
But I need you, on my skin
All my heroes start as villains
All my heroes start as villains
All my heroes start as villains
All my heroes start as villains…My life with a lover (oh oh oh)
My life with another
My life with a lover (oh oh oh)Had a dream so good that I didn’t want to wake up (my life with a lover)
It was you and I and nobody tried to interrupt (it was on that beach)
Had a dream so good that I didn’t want to wake up
Had a dream so good that I didn’t want to wake upTime to put my medal on
Whose blood to spill?
I don’t know
Whose side I’m on?Two armies are coming at me
Their flags and weapons look the same
One tells the truth, the other’s lying
And they’re both calling my nameThis is how villains are made
This is how villains are made
Ooh, ooh
No one ever starts that way
But this is how villains are madeTime to put my medal on
Whose neck to cut?
I don’t know
Whose side I’m on?There lies my sanity
There goes my mind, I could not save
I don’t trust what I see right in front of me
I don’t know who to betrayAah, aah, ooh
This is how villains are made
This is how villains are made
Oooh
So easily we’re persuaded
When the lines are blurred and faded
No one ever starts that way
But this is how villains are made
This is how villains are made -
Into the garden where we lay
Exile drifting smoke, ocean of grey
Crooked on the ground while the rain
Keeps running down your fingers as you prayI will spit in the face of holy
Holy trouble
Holy trouble
I will run up the way to holy
Holy trouble
Holy troubleThe needle you lost has found its way
Rusted in the meadow of your faith
Bags under eyes, define your gaze
Solemn sweet like shadows crown your faceI will spit in the face of holy
Holy trouble
Holy trouble
I will run up the way to holy
Holy trouble
Holy troubleHoly trouble
Holy troubleI will spit in the face of holy
Holy trouble
Holy trouble
I will run up the way to holy
Holy trouble
Holy trouble -

There is softness on my crown
And freedom in my eyes
Ancient secrets in my laugh
A calling to rememberI run to wish upon a star
Open my palms to feel this love
Why won’t you just escape my dreams
You never seem to want to leave
But when we meet I feel real high
Late night I swore we touched the sky
A lonely night is all I needHad to die to love myself
Rebirth to another
Ripping brainwash in my cells
I just want to rememberI run to wish upon a star
Open my palms to feel this love
Why won’t you just escape my dreams
You never seem to want to leave
But when we meet I feel real high
Late night I swore we touched the sky
A lonely night is all I need -
You can say that I belong to
All the moments
That I couldn’t let
Sink into my oblivion
You can say that I’m yearning
For something that’s already gone
But I’m not a prisonerI want to feel what it’s like
When sorrow turns into strength
I want to feel what it’s like
When there’s no screeches in my headYou can say that I’m chasing
Something that is unattainable
So you know my way to survive
You can say that I’m surrounded
By the ruins of my previous life
But I am not a prisonerI want to feel what it’s like
When sorrow turns into strength
I want to feel what it’s like
When there’s no screeches in my head
I want to feel what it’s like
When dreams of mine don’t leave a mark
On my battered heartYou can say that I belong to
All the moments
That I couldn’t let
Sink into my oblivion
You can say that I am yearning
For something that’s already gone
But I am not a prisonerI want to feel what it’s like
When sorrow turns into strength
I want to feel what it’s like
When there’s no screeches in my head
I want to feel what it’s like
When dreams of mine don’t leave a mark
I want to feel what it’s like
When what I lost comes back to life
To heal my battered heartA thousand shards of heaven
Staring at the starsA thousand shards of heaven
Drinking coldness from the nightI collect my story
Under the fragmented sky
Traveling through my wasteland
Praying for the rain to comeI need your every tear to save my life
I need your every tear to save my life
