(Verse.1)
Where’s the light we’d count on?
That filled the crowded space
The voice inside our system
That always lead the way
Adjusting to this normal
Looking out from Sutro Edge
I can’t help but smile now
Bird song’s centre stage
The world still beats a rhythm
But virtues carved a place
It goes on and on and on and on
(Chorus.)
Wake up to the morning sun
Feels like we’re getting closer
Call out to the lonely ones
Throw them a line
Better days are yet to come
With every passing hour
Ain’t no sense in reeling
This new way of living
Better wake up
(Verse. 2)
Forgotten things, are comin’ back
Emerge to spread their wings
Out all hollow possessions, here
As the new world sets it’s sights on you and me
Adjusting to this normal
Looking out from Sutro Edge
I can’t help but smile now
Bird song’s centre stage
The world still beats a rhythm
But virtues carved a place
It goes on and on and on and on
(Chorus.)
Wake up to the morning sun
Feels like we’re getting closer
Call out to the lonely ones
Throw them a line
Better days are yet to come
With every passing hour
Ain’t no sense in reeling
This new way of living
Better wake up
(Middle 8.)
Where’s the light we’d count on
That filled the crowded space?
The voice inside our system
That always lead the way?
(Chorus.)
Wake up to the morning sun
Feels like we’re getting closer
Call out to the lonely ones
Throw them a line
Better days are yet to come
With every passing hour
Ain’t no sense in reeling
This new way of living
Better wake up!

(Verse.1)
I can remember
Back in the days we walked these streets with diamonds in
our eyes
Out with the vampires under a midnight sky
My mind so hypnotized
It was exciting
It was the 90s...
Momma didn’t understand it
And daddy always said that I was going too far
I said there’s never any compromising
If you’re trying to win the battle to be who you are
(Pre-Chorus.)
I danced to the left, I danced to the right
Hold hands with my demons and creatures of night
On an undercover mission to find somebody else like me...
(Chorus.)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woah oh oh oh)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woah oh oh oh)
Someone who can hear me and drink from the light
To see things from the same side
Is there anybody out there?
(Verse. 2)
Five years later
I’m out with the same old faces in dead end places.
Things kept going wrong.
I’m getting to thinking my daddy was right all along
So if you take a little walk on the wild side
Be careful that you never slip your hands from the wheel
There’s never any compromising
When you’re blinded by reflections from the part of you that’s
real
(Pre-Chorus.)
I danced to the left, I danced to the right
Hold hands with my demons and creatures of night
On an undercover mission to find somebody else like me...
(Chorus.)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woah oh oh oh)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woah oh oh oh)
Someone who can hear me and drink from the light
To see things from the same side
Is there anybody out there?
(Pre-Chorus)
I danced to the left, I danced to the right
Hold hands with my demons and creatures of night
On an undercover mission to find somebody else like me...
(Chorus.)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woah oh oh oh)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woo oh oh oh)
Someone who can hear me and drink from the light
To see things from the same side
Is there anybody out there?
Somebody else like me

(Verse 1.)
Meeting you tonight
A rare kind of thrill
Dancing in the distance
With no care in the world
The players tried their best lines
The hyenas with their looks could kill
We’re synchronised and sacred
And I still think about it
Nothing stood between us
Nothing ever will
(Pre-Chorus)
She said come with me
Let’s paint the old town red
You make it so easy
To let loose of myself
(Chorus.)
I feel like I’ve found a place
In Babylon... (In Babylon...)
This must be how heaven tastes
In Babylon... (It’s Babylon...) with you
(Verse 2.)
Got a lust for life
No limitation here
I’ve said so many times
How you’ve silenced my fears
I’ll lay awake and guard you
Until Kingdom come
Adrenalised and blessed
I’m giving you my best
Nothing stands between us
And nothing ever will
(Pre-Chorus.)
She said come with me
Let’s paint the old town red
You make it so easy
To let loose of myself
(Chorus.)
I feel like I’ve found a place
In Babylon... (In Babylon...)
This must be how heaven tastes
In Babylon... (It’s Babylon...) with you

(Verse 1)
Sirens cut the smoke filled air
Upon rooftops a blue light glares
Rain rolls down my window
A voice inside starts hitting home
Wayward kids sail down the street
Some right of passage now complete
How many times can blind eyes turn?
To trouble in the wings...
(Pre- Chorus)
When all I need
Is one chance at finding my place
It’s time to leave
Downtown cold heart of this space
(Chorus)
If there’s a chance then I’m gonna take it
I tell myself I’ve nothing to lose
But every time I leave here for something
I can help but fall back to you
When all I need is one chance at finding my place
It’s time to leave downtown cold heart of this space
(Verse 2)
How’d we ever get so far
With mantras that don’t reach the stars?
Don’t reach above your station
But my heart just longs for action
Some days there’s more hate than love
For the life you’ve got and dreaming of
(Pre-chorus)
Sometimes I see
Georgie Square and a busker mid song
Just you and me
The empty street and the long way back home
(Chorus)
If there’s a chance then I’m gonna take it
I tell myself I’ve nothing to lose
But every time I leave here for something
I can help but fall back to you
When all I need is one chance at finding my place
It’s time to leave downtown cold heart of this space

Verse 1.
Pull me in from farthest reaches
With an open hand
Let me hear your words of peace
To make me whole again
Taking time reflecting over
The years that I’ve spent
I always felt invincible
With you to shield my head
Twilight dances on the water
As I put on a front
Unravelling within my frame
As people just walk on
Chorus.
If I only I had you
A chance to hold onto
One last time
I swear I’d live up to
Give myself up to you
Break all ties
But this is real life (and it goes to fast)
It’s real life
But this is real life (and it don’t last)
It’s real life
Verse 2.
The world moves on at such a pace
I can barely track
Where’s the time gone since the days
You always had my back
Chemtrails point out to horizons
Some place we’ll meet again
I pray to God you’ll remember me
So we can start again
Chorus.
If I only I had you
A chance to hold onto
One last time
I swear I’d live up to
Give myself up to you
Break all ties
But this is real life (it’s all too real)
It’s real life
But this is real life (It’s a spin of the wheel)
It’s real life
(Repeat Chorus)

Queen of Hearts

(Verse 1)
One night I took myself
To the place where I come from
I walk unrecognised here
Where my mistakes go unknown
So I hailed a ride to lose it
Where the gamblers and thieves roam
I was scared as Hell
Then you walked right in
And laid me to the floor
(Pre-chorus)
Saw you moving with the look of fire
A fire in me turned on
You raised me from the wreckage
And took me in your arms
(Chorus)
Follow me
You can be what you want
Don’t matter where we end up
With the Queen of Hearts
(Repeat)
(Verse 2)
Pulled me to the open
Said let your worry fall
All the mistakes that you’re bearing
They make us who we are
And the echoes of commotion
Were drowned out by your words
When you’re facing the brink
You can salvage or sink
You’re the hand I was waiting for
(Pre-chorus)
Now I’m moving with the same desire
Your fire inside caught on
With the city as my witness
I took you in my arms
(Chorus)
Follow me
You can be what you want
Don’t matter where we end up
With the Queen of Hearts
(Repeat)

Vrs. 1
Here I go again
Letting myself get too close to the sun and
When I get so high, makes me feel alive
I forget myself
Like bird song brings me happiness
You’re guiding me back on to dry land
Oh your love is pure toward a heart off course
I forget sometimes
Pre. 1
At times my words sound like broken records
Spinning worn out words of despair
Thats when you reach out through the dark
Helps me to remember again
Chrs.
That right from the start
You gave me your heart
Every time I’d see your face
When I’m next to you
My spirits in bloom
A feeling that I can’t quite place
Like when stars collide
Like when stars collide
Vrs 2.
Where do I begin?
Trying to decide how you saved me to my friends
Life was passing by, I didn’t realise
That I needed help
Pre 2.
These days I look back with a certain fondness
The journey and drama that came my way
Cause you stood by me in my darkest hours
That’s when my outlook changed
Chrs.
That right from the start
You gave me your heart
Every time I’d see your face
When I’m next to you
My spirits in bloom
A feeling that I can’t quite place
Like when stars collide
Like when stars collide
