Love Right Now
(Panagopoulos/McMaster)
verse 1:
I am a light, I am alive --
A beating heart that never stops
If it wants to survive.
I am not alone.
I’ve given up, I’ve fallen down,
I’ve seen within, I’ve done without,
I am the sword in the stone.
pre-chorus 1:
I’m just like you --
I'm sentimental.
You -- oh
chorus:
We long -- we long to fly
But we stand on the ground and look at the sky
Before the sun goes down, you and I
Gotta love right now.
Love right now!
We’re all stars meant to shine,
But we fall on our knees and wait for a sign.
Don't get caught on the wrong side of time --
Gotta love right now.
Love right now!
verse 2:
I hear the words; they swarm like flies.
Everybody's got your back with a fistful of knives.
You are not alone.
The animal is in your head.
It's hungry now: it always is.
And it's looking for a home.
pre-chorus
chorus
bridge:
I want your love right between my eyes.
And I want your love -- I want it right now.
I want it right now.
repeat chorus

Star Child
(Panagopoulos/McMaster)
verse 1:
You moved like a river,
Swept me from the shore.
I was blinded -- blinded by the water,
Crawling from the storm.
I fell into your eyes --
Nothing left to say.
chorus:
Star child running wild
A million miles into the sun.
Star child, it’s been a while.
How you doing where you belong?
verse 2:
Their dreams gave you nightmares.
You woke up alone.
All their diamonds -- diamonds and their gold --
Couldn’t keep you from your home.
You fell into the sky.
I needed you to stay.
chorus
bridge:
You’re gone and the night is strong,
But it won’t be long till I’m beside you.
Your song and your light live on,
But I can’t go on till I’m beside you.
I look up at the side of the moon --
I can see your face, I can see right through you.
The day’s gone and the wind says, “Run!”
So I open my arms and I’m right beside you.
We run.
We run.
repeat chorus

Circle
(Panagopoulos/McMaster)
verse 1:
It’s been a long way down this road together -
Ten-thousand miles in a dream you and me.
Now you long for a world beyond your reflection.
I can see you, but you can’t see me.
chorus:
Meet me by the sea where our love was born to be
And all that we believed was a circle unbroken.
We can’t save the sky, unless we learn to fly.
Forever you and I in a circle unbroken.
verse 2:
When a brave new moon shines down on your shadow,
The desert’s deeper than the well - can you tell?
My love is like rain, so don't change your direction.
We can make it through if you just see me.
chorus
bridge:
This time we can forgive, forget --
Better than we were before.
This time we can restart, reset --
Better days under the sun -- one by one.
chorus

She’s High Again
(Panagopoulos/McMaster)
verse 1:
There’s a bloody needle skipping on a record.
There’s a stray dog sniffing at the rug.
There’s a lipstick Venus in the bathroom mirror,
But she hasn’t got time for love.
I got the neighbours screaming in my bedroom
And I’m afraid to open the door.
There’s a crooked white cross in my baby’s heart;
It’s got her going back for more.
chorus:
There she goes again --
She’s high again,
She’s tripping with her friends --
Without a care.
She’s high again,
She’s lonely without me.
verse 2:
All the creatures, they are running from the moonlight --
Scattering like mischief in the street.
There’s a cold wind blowing from the end of the world;
It smells like addiction and defeat.
All the angels have hidden in the basement
Where my love is tearing at the seams.
She sold my soul to the shadows below,
Now they’re feeding on the fear inside my dreams.
chorus
bridge:
I thought that you were a sign,
But you’re broken -- it’s alright.
I thought that you were divine,
But you’re broken -- it’s alright.
chorus 3:
There she goes again --
She’s high again,
She’s tripping with her friends --
Without a care.
She’s high again,
She’s tripping with her friends.
There she goes again --
She’s high again,
She’s tripping with her friends --
Without a care.
She’s high again,
She’s lonely without me.

Even Angels
(Panagopoulos/McMaster)
verse 1:
I can’t sleep I’ve had enough.
It’s hard to -- hard to remember
Even angels fall from the sky.
Even angels fall from the sky.
The sun goes down; the tide collides.
Where do you bury forever?
Even angels fall from the sky.
Even angels fall from the sky.
chorus:
I’ve given you my all.
It’s cost me everything.
Are you coming back to me?
Are you coming home?
Take my love away --
It doesn’t mean a thing
If you’re not coming back to me,
If you’re not coming home.
verse 2:
You’re too old to be so young --
A lifetime under a landslide.
Even angels fall from the sky.
Even angels fall from the sky.
I reach out, I can’t hold on
If you let go of my lifeline.
Even angels fall from the sky.
Even angels fall from the sky.
chorus
bridge:
Some days look the other way -- hey hey.
Some days everything’s the same -- always.
You're on your way to the midnight sun.
I don't know anyone who can stop you now.
Heaven and earth have left you alone.
chorus
tag:
I reach out, I can’t hold on
If you let go of my lifeline.
Even angels fall from the sky.
Even angels fall from the sky.

Divided We Will Fall
(Panagopoulos/McMaster/Gould)
verse 1:
Hate will eat your heart.
If you take it in to your arms,
It won't let go.
It's like a venomous stream
Poisoned the dream that they sold you
And you can't let go.
pre-chorus:
This is what will happen if we don't get along --
They'll pile up the money all for one and none for all.
Fight it! Be united!
Fuel the light inside
And keep it going on and on.
chorus:
Sometimes conversations lead us to temptations
When simple explanations fail to work it out.
It’s a human situation -- blind imagination,
Imperfect and impatient.
Don’t let them build their walls.
Divided we will fall.
verse 2:
Love will feed your heart.
If you take it in to your arms,
It won't let go.
It's like a fast-flowing stream
Carried the dream to the ocean
And you can't let go.
pre-chorus
chorus
bridge:
The weight is so heavy I can't carry it alone.
So help me before it falls on you.
pre-chorus
chorus
tag:
Sometimes conversations lead us to temptations.
It’s a human situation.
Don’t let them build their walls.

All Or Nothing Time
(Panagopoulos/McMaster/Robinson)
verse 1:
All or nothing time --
The war breathes in, it’s another afternoon.
You stab me with your silence.
The battle rages on underneath the moon.
You say you want a revolution --
Bomb me with your love, shoot me with your truth.
chorus:
It’s too late to talk about it,
Too late to come down.
That was then llYou said it was forever.
You’re the dead-end lullaby of a downtown train.
I’m a revelation in a doorway
And forever’s just a word, not a time or place.
chorus
bridge:
The noose has come undone;
I’m already gone.
Our time will never come;
I’ll wait on the sun.
The night is always young
And you are not the one.
solo
chorus 3:
It’s too late to complicate it,
Too late to come down.
That was then and this is now.
I’ll get over you somehow.
It’s too late, my love.
You were all I could imagine.
No tomorrow, no goodbyes --
It’s too late.

Sleep Will Come
(Panagopoulos/McMaster)
verse 1:
Madness is everywhere,
But you’ve got the medicine in your hands.
Tell me all the things you should have been;
I’ll show you everything that you are now.
Pppre-chorus:
And in your eyes an ocean
Tells me you're not here.
The voice of time has spoken.
chorus:
C’mon let me dry your eyes
So you can see the setting sun.
I’ll tell you ‘bout the other side
Waiting for the sleep to come.
We can’t hold back the night
No matter how fast we run.
There's nothing to decide,
Eventually the sleep will come.
verse 2:
Morning is everywhere.
You've got the remedy that I need.
Did I find you in a memory?
Have I lost myself in a dream?
pre-chorus:
And in your eyes an ocean
Tells me you're not here.
The voice of time is broken.
Chorus
__tbridge:
I know you say we'll never be together.
Maybe someday we'll learn to live apart?
Kharma's obsession fills the space between us.
There is no way Mmκ
learn to live apart.
chorus
