Children

Let me lay waste with gentle persuasion
Let me lay down
To sweat in the heat
On the back of beyond we laugh at all reason
And in the light of it all
There's no need to retreat
And the heat comes down
And the heat comes down
And hand in hand
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat

Save for the asking forture favours the brave
Let me take strength
From the child in your eyes
And between the lines we dance into the mirror
And a grateful embrace
Layes in wait for the sun to rise

And the heat comes down
And the heat comes down
And hand in hand
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat

Please don't take it hard when
I give myself to you
And love will come easy
When you deign to swallow my pride
Before i ever touch your lips
You promise the very earth to me
And tender hearts and broken down
When you take me deep inside

And the heat comes down
And the heat comes down
And hand in hand
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
Melt in the heat

Ever
There's oceans between us
Take to the sea, take to the sea
There's heaven before us
Float on the waves, float on the waves

Pale moon lay belief on me,
Mother come give me birth
You give me heaven,
And i'll promise you the earth

Heaven
Lays on your pillow,
Sleep in your eyes, sleep in your eyes
Lays in the waiting
Steal every moment, hold every breath

Gentle heart beat as one,
Dream for the beauty of birth
You give me heaven
And i'll promise you the earth

I'll die for you, if the time ever came,
I'll kill for you and shoulder the blame,
I'd cry for you and never feel shame,
For the child is within you,
For the child is within

Precious
I want the earth for you
Precious
I hold out my hands to touch the sky
And only the pure go to heaven
Suffer the child unto you
Forever more
Heaven on earth

Bless me my godess of love
For all your blessing is worth
You give me heaven and i promise you the earth
I pray for the second coming
Worship you for the first
You give me heaven and i give you the earth
You give me heaven and i give you the earth
You gave me heaven and i give you the earth

You raise me up
When i'm on the floor
You see me through
When i'm lonely and scared
And i'm feeling true to the written word
And you're true to me
And still i need more
It would tear me apart
To feel no one ever cared
For me
For me
For me
You are a tower of strength to me

You stand firm and proud
When the wind blows in your face
And when the sun shines in your eyes
You just turn your head away
To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me

You rescue me
You are my faith
My hope
My liberty
And when there is darkness all around
You shine bright for me
You are the guiding light

To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me

You are all passion and heart
When i lay in your embrace
And heaven is in your kiss
Salvation lies just a touch away

To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me

Cold still waters running deep
Pale before the eyes
Ravaged
By the hands that feed
Thunder clouds the skies
Drifting with the tide
Floating with the stream
The howling winds have gathered strength
From a whisper to a scream

Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just one last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale

Heed to neptune's calling deceived in fable and lore
Learn from treacherous bibles
Of murder, hate and war
Searching for the tears
In an ocean of rain
The yearning of the raging sea beckons once again

Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just one last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale

Gathering of the storm
And the winds are blowing wild
Sweeping over cross and creed, country, colour and child
Mother nature cries for love
Her children lost at sea
And as the waves take me away
Say a prayer for liberty

Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just one last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale

I've felt the heat
In the city of angels
Dust up on high
And the worse for wear
I've seen the lights
Going down on sunset
Madmen running loose
There's murder in the air
So this is america

Love colder than death
Working the streets
Love doesn't come cheap
So i learn how to steal
Religion for sale
Buy my way into heaven
Sell my soul for a trick
It's not worth a great deal
So this is america

I remember her smile and her virgin heart
I remember her tears tearing me apart
I remember my hands helpless and tied
As they led her away i remember i cried

I've put my life
In the hands of a scream
Small talked and less
With legends to be
But i carried a torch
For the child forbidden
And when the heat closed in
They crucified me
So this is america

Dreams don't come easy
Without any sleep
Laid wide eyed and weary
On this damned bed of nails
I hit the freeway
And step on the speed
Head for the desert
When madness prevails
So this is america
God bless you america
God bless you america
God bless you america
God bless you
America
