Place Vendome

They wake to see the morning sun
Their mourning has just begun…
It's so hard to hear those lonesome cries
When nobody's listening

You can't jump the barricades
Keeps you down on your knees
Getting hard enough to take the pain
They won't break you!

It's better to believe the lies
Then to let them know how you feel
All you've got is what you see
You don't know!

That we are not alone,
It's one collective soul – be aware!

Like a bullet unforgiving, shot through your heart
On a wing and a prayer we see the changes unfolding
Like a drifter we'll be living in a world of sorrow
Can't you see we're following the sign of the times?

Chasing shadows in the night
Tension grows in the air
Paranoia takes its toll
Got to stop the show!

Turn off that guiding light
It isn't worth the fight – walk away!

Like a bullet unforgiving, shot through your heart
On a wing and a prayer we see the changes unfolding
Like a drifter we'll be living in a world of sorrow
Can't you see we're following the sign, the sign of the times?
And nobody's listening…

Just be aware!
Like a bullet unforgiving, shot through your heart
On a wing and a prayer we see the changes unfolding
Like a drifter we'll be living in a world of sorrow
Can't you see we're following the sign of the times?

Chasing shadows without a reason
Like a bullet unforgiving, shot through your heart
Can't you see we're following the sign of the times?

The more they laugh the more I cry
The more I'm contemplating
The more I see right through those lies - ooh

The more we love the more I hurt
The more I'm understanding
There must be something more to this life

So I look to the future

But it's too late to learn when the chances are passing us by
So much to know, so hard to find
We suffer the consequences and never get another try
It's too late and it's gone like a second in time
Another wrong won't make it right
We're always pulling punches but never stopped to wonder why
Yes, the moment is gone but it's not too late for goodbyes – tears in your eyes

The more I can the more I will
The “more” is so demanding
The more I try is like falling uphill
Fly to the sun, answer to none
Finding the reasons on the run
So many stones still left unturned, yeah

So I look to the future

But it's too late to learn when the chances are passing us by
So much to know, so hard to find
We suffer the consequences and never get another try
It's too late and it's gone like a second in time
Another wrong won't make it right
We're always pulling punches but never stopped to wonder why
Yes, the moment is gone but it's not too late for goodbyes

There's a lesson to learn so don't let yourself burn
There's a reason to be all that you wanted to be
And keeping the pace with the masses and crowds
Won't help you to know what this worlds all about
It's not too late to find your place in this life

But it's too late to learn when the chances are passing us by
So much to know, so hard to find
We suffer the consequences and never get another try
It's too late and it's gone like a second in time
Another wrong won't make it right
We're always pulling punches but never stopped to wonder why
Yes, the moment is gone but it's not too late for goodbyes, tears in your eyes

The night is falling
Exposing the way to your soul
I will be pretending to know
When I hear you calling
You put my mind in a spell

You left me waiting
To let me become what I am
And I am so utterly bound to your
Empty promise – I follow the way to your heart

Your stealing time
When you say, “We'll leave behind who we are”.
Who we are? Yeah,

You know I'm just a fool for your heart
This lovin's gonna tear me apart
When the day comes
I get a feeling so empty inside
You're flying away like a magic carpet ride

I've been patient
But I still think that I'll find a way
Forever is only a moment in disillusion
How can I go on when I know…

Your stealing time
When you say, “We'll leave behind who we are”.
Who we are? Yeah,

You know I'm just a fool for your heart
This lovin's gonna tear me apart
When the day comes
I get a feeling so empty inside
You're flying away

How long should I live a life of sorrow?
How long must I wait for your tomorrow?
You're having your fun at the cost of my pride
Is there never an end to this carnival ride?

You know I'm just a fool for your heart
This lovin's gonna tear me apart
When the day comes
I get a feeling so empty inside
You're flying away like a magic carpet ride
