prologue 01:48
il était une fois it could be now or never once upon a time i could kiss you forever
2.
I don’t know where we’re going Have no idea how this will end From the beginning, I’ve been swimming In the current of your skin The autumn rains turned into thunderstorms The waters rose I was drowning in your arms But when I woke up in the morning I was breathing, I was breathing Oh, I was alive I saw another country in your eyes Frozen in silent moments I watched your timeless spirit fly Soaring above the ceiling Into the midnight winter sky Then you were gone, I searched a million years All through the night, love had disappeared But when I woke up in the morning You were breathing, you were breathing There right by my side I found another country in your eyes The midday sun is beating drums Quarter time on our parade We drove past city limits Engines blazing all the way A warm embrace became consuming fire Our bodies burned, melted with desire And when we wakened in the morning We were breathing, we were breathing We’ll never die I’ve seen so many countries in your eyes

She is benediction She is addicted to thee She is the root connection She is connecting with he Here I go and I don’t know why I flow so ceaselessly Could it be he’s taking over me I’m dancing barefoot Headin’ for a spin Some strange music draws me in It makes me come up like some heroine She is sublimation She is the essence of thee She is concentrating on He who is chosen by she Here I go when I don’t know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be he’s taking over me I’m dancing barefoot Headin’ for a spin Some strange music drags me in Makes me come up like some heroine She is recreation She intoxicated by thee She has the slow sensation that He is levitating with she Here I go when I don’t know why I spin so ceaselessly ‘Til I lose my sense of gravity I’m dancing barefoot Heading for a spin Some strange music draws me in Makes me come up like some heroine Oh God I fell for you Oh God I fell for you Oh God I fell for you Oh God I fell for you Oh God I fell for you Oh God I fell for you Oh God I fell for you She is screaming through the evening In the mourning of his passing And she shakes off all her dreaming Just to make sure she’s awake She’s awake Is she awake Is she awake

Femoir 04:35
She found the novel by the bed The one whose author’s name she can’t recall And every sentence left unread Is every word that never falls from your lips She wrote the note to you before The one that tells you that she needs you But words just tumble to the floor And after all she still can’t read you A simple footnote, bittersweet A paper trail from another lover Another chapter incomplete A twisted tale from cover to cover And the secrets of the pages Are the secrets of the ages Oh the secrets of the pages Are the secrets of the ages je me souviens She left the novel by the bed The one whose author’s name she’ll never tell And every phrase she left unsaid Is every word that never fell from my lips And the secrets of the pages Are the secrets of the ages Oh the secrets of the pages Are the secrets of the ages All the secrets All these secrets All your secrets All my secrets

Wish I knew Why I’m so in love with you No one else in this world will do Darling please save your love for me Run away If I were wise I’d run away But like a fool in love I stay And pray you’ll save your love for me I can feel it Even when you’re not here Can’t conceal it I really love you my dear And though I know no good Can come from loving you I can’t do a thing I’m so in love with you So darling Help me please Have mercy on a fool like me I know I’m lost but still I plead Darling please save you love for me I can feel it Even when you’re not here Can’t conceal it I really love you my dear And though I know no good Can come from loving you I can’t do a thing I’m so in love with you So darling Help me please Have mercy on a fool like me I know I’m lost but still I plead Darling please save you love for me You can have fun with the crowd But for crying out loud Darling please save your love for me

Jezebel 05:51
Jezebel wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth She probably had less than every one of us When she knew how to walk she knew How to bring the house down Can’t blame her for her beauty She wins with her hands down Jezebel, what a belle Looks like a princess in her new dress How did you get that? Do you really want to know she said It would seem she’s on her way It’s more, more than just a dream She put on her stockings and shoes Had nothing to lose, she said it was worth it Reach for the top she said And the sun is gonna shine Every winter was a war she said I want to get what’s mine Jezebel, Jezebel Won’t try to deny where she came from You can see it in her pride And the raven in her eyes Try show her a better way She’ll say you don’t know what you’ve been missing And by the time she blinks you know she won’t be listening Reach for the top she said And the sun is gonna shine Every winter was a war she said I want to get what’s mine

Sister Moon 03:39
Sister moon will be my guide In your blue blue shadows I would hide All good people asleep tonight I’m all by myself in your silver light I would gaze at your face the whole night through I’d go out of my mind but for you I’d go out of my mind but for you Lying in a mother’s arms The primal root of a woman’s charms I’m a stranger to the sun My eyes are too weak How cold is a heart When it’s warmth that he seeks? You watch every night, you don’t care what I do I’d go out of my mind, but for you I’d go out of my mind, but for you My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun My hunger for her explains everything I’ve done To howl at the moon the whole night through And they really don’t care if I do I’d go out of my mind for you

interlogue 01:19
il était une fois it could be now or never once upon a time i would diss you forever
9.
This is a man’s world, this is a man’s world But it wouldn’t, it wouldn’t be nothing Without a woman or a girl You see, man made the cars to take us over the road Man made the trains to carry the heavy load Man makes the electric lights to take us out of the dark Man made the boat for the water like Noah made the ark This is a man’s, a man’s world But it wouldn’t be nothing Without a woman or a girl Now listen Man thinks about little bitty baby girls and baby boys Man makes them happy ’cause man, he makes them toys And after man has made everything, everything he can You know that man makes money to go buy from another man But this is a man, a man’s world But it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing Without a woman or a girl Woah he’s lost, lost in the world of a man Woah he’s lost, lost in bitterness This is a man’s, yeah This is a man’s, oooh A man’s world

I saw someone again today who remembered me and you They asked all the same old questions I gave the same excuse They said what a shame, what a shame to lose a love so fine But I never lost you I never really lost you I never lost you Cause you were never mine I kept on believing what I wanted to believe The unspoken promises, them that you could never keep But it’s a sin, oh it’s a sin to tell yourself a lie I never lost you I never lost you I never lost you Cause you were never mine Did you give me all that you gave me Just because, cause I needed you But when I needed all your love completely Was it more, more than you could do Sometimes deep in the night when I hold you in my dreams I get lost in your loving touch, babe, I can’t believe how real it seems And I know, yes I know I’ll have you ’till the end of time ‘Cause I never lost you I never lost you I never lost you Cause you were never mine I never lost you I never really lost you How could I lose you Cause you were never mine

O Bravada 04:55
She’s goin’ toe to toe Her back to the ropes The canvas hot under her feet When the leather pounds her hard square chin She feels her knees gettin’ weak She’s gettin’ weak So she lashes out to the roar of the crowd Takes a left hook right to the core The ring is well-worn The towel from the corner Thrown as she hits the floor O Bravada Hosanna in the highest O Bravada O Bravada Hosanna in the highest O Bravada In the hazing soft light The daze of the night Blood flows thick from her eyes Down for the count Her only way out is on her back With her gloves to the sky O Bravada Hosanna in the highest O Bravada O Bravada Hosanna in the highest Rumble in the jungle, back when we were queens Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

I got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read It said oh hurry the man you love is dead I got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read It said oh hurry hurry the man you love is dead Well, I packed up my suitcase, and I took off down the road When I got there he was layin’ on the coolin’ board I packed up my suitcase, and I took off down the road But when I got there he was layin on the coolin’ board It’s like there was 10, 000 people standin’ round the buryin’ ground I didn’t know I loved him until they laid him down It’s like there’s 10, 000 people standin’ round the buryin’ ground Oh I didn’t know I loved him ’til they lowered him down down down Well I got up this mornin’, round about the break of day I was huggin’ the pillow where he used to lay I got up so, I got up so early in the morn I was huggin’ the pillow where he used to lay I Got up this mornin’, just round about the break of day I was huggin’ the pillow where he used to lay I got up so, I got up so early in the morn I was huggin’ the pillow where my sweet man used to lay I said, hush, thought I heard him call my name Hush, thought I heard it nice and plain Hush, thought I heard him, thought I heard him Hush, thought heard him call my name

Everything must change Nothing stays the same Everyone must change No one stays the same The young become the old Mysteries do unfold But that’s the way of time Everything must change There are not many things In life you can be sure of Except Rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky Humming birds do fly Winter turns to spring A wounded heart will heal But never much too soon And everything must change The young become the old Mysteries do unfold But that’s the way of time And everything must change There are not many things In life you can be sure of Except Rain comes from the clouds And sun lights up the sky And humming birds do fly Rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky Humming birds do fly Rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky Humming birds do fly Rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky Humming birds hmmmm And music Music makes me cry
14.
Tonight In the middle of metropolis At an age of apocalypse From the lips of anonymous Tonight Down a boulevard of broken dreams On an avenue of in betweens Where the traffic jams this dead end street Tonight Tonight Sadly like a fallen star Beaten like a broken heart Pushed together pulled apart Tonight Stinging like an open sore Spilling over to the floor Something comin back for more Goodnite Goodnite Goodnite Goodnite Tonight Killing time is killin me Murder one by apathy A symphony of sympathies Tonight Lonesome in the loneliness Emptier than emptiness But there’s nothin quite like nothingness Goodnite Goodnite Goodnite Goodnite il était une fois it could be now or never once upon a time i will miss you forever
