Dark Labyrinth[Jareth]
In my dark Labyrinth I was tossing and turning
All my nightmares made real oh how can this be --
the words slipped out of her lips --
My kingdom fallen to bits!
Then I opened my eyes
And the blame was on me!!

I was once the most magical Fae and Unseelie.
When the Courts cast me out I found my own way!
A kingdom abandoned by time
a king at the start of his prime!
but six words spoken
tore it away!

[Goblins]
from the dark labyrinth magic will find her
In the dark labyrinth night has no dawn!

[Jareth]
Revenge will be so sweet

[Jareth AND Goblins]
When the queen falls to my feet!

[ALL]
In the dark labyrinth

Distraction Is An Art

Such a good day to sit in a trance.
I'd make a move but I never learnt to dance.
Wolf down some dinner, butter and bread,
so I can grab ideas from my head.

I can't concentrate.
My brain is on a plate.

Get with the program, you lazy sod.
It will take more than a gentle prod.
Brain gave the body a big headstart.
I've made distraction into an art.

I can't concentrate.
My brain is on a plate.

I tell myself, tell it so loud:
"Take your head out from all the clouds."

Don't want to play the empty-headed bore.
I'll stop my brain from falling on the floor.

I can't concentrate.
My brain is on a plate.Distraction Is An Art2 days ago in Songs & Lyrics

Who’s that stallion, who’s that stallion?
Why it’s Braeburn!
Who’s that stallion, who’s that stallion?
Why it’s Braeburn!

Sexiest guy in all the land
Helpin’ out any way he can
Everypony knows with his hat and vest
He’s more handsome than the rest

Who’s that stallion, who’s that stallion?
Why it’s Braeburn!
Who’s that stallion, who’s that stallion?
Why it’s Braeburn!

Workin’ hard to help his town
Buckin’ trees til the apples fall down
Not a lotta land but they make it work

Upside-down WorldI lift my feet into the air
and stand upon my crown
to understand the place we live:
a world that’s upside-down.

How does one perceive a state
where everything’s amiss?
To comprehend the dizzy place
what you must do is this:

Colour green the flighty sky!
Play soccer with a fish!
Then plant a penny in the ground,
among the stars, a wish.

Sail on a flying ship –
with stop-overs for tea.
I spy a wicked thunderstorm
of clouds beneath the sea.

Apollo is a witty man
and funny, like the moon.
Send letters to the racy dish
that ran off with the spoon.

Break the mirror, watch the cat,
or kiss the water’s face.

Nemesissolitude anchors you to itself
like a mirror: narcissistic, profound

The Man Who Can't Be Moved - The ScriptGoing back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the stThe Man Who Can't Be Moved - The Script2 days ago in Songs & Lyrics

LonelyIf they don't see me,
Then why would they need me?

Sure, I laugh, I smile,
But I'm lonely.

My heart feels icy,
Yet my smile tries to fool them,
But they don't see me,
so what's the use of tryin'?

I just want a friend,
Just one small friend.

I want someone to know my existence.

But maybe I'm being selfish.

Because I look at you all,
Smiles on your faces and warming hearts,
and can't help but wonder..

If you were lonely once too.Lonely19 hours ago in Songs & Lyrics

DemonsWhen the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale

I want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

When the curtain's call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out

I Was Just a Little GirlI was just a raindrop, cold from the skies pain.
I was just a picture, with a missing frame.
Mama’s in the garden, but her love is silent.
Mama’s in the garden, a stone holds her name.
I was just a rainbow, reflecting come what may.
just my pretty colors, they never stay the same.

I’m not your bird anymore,
I’ve twisted metal until it creaked,
now there’s no cage that can hold me.

I was just a flower, reaching out for air,
missing my roots, missing all your care.
Mama’s in the garden, but her love is silent,
Mama’s in the garden, a stone holds her name.

What Doesn't Kill You / StrongerYou know the bed feels warmer sleeping here alone.
You know I dream in color, now I’m on my own.
Think you got the best of me.
Think you had the last laugh.
Think that everything good is gone.
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back.
Baby, you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter,
Footsteps even lighter.
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger,
Just me, myself, and I

MomentsIt’s the magic of the moment,
Just a moment in time,
It’s the magic of a moment,
Just a second,
Just in time

It’s the magic of the moment,
just a moment, it is said
It’s that final, single second,
Its that one,
And It’s the best.

Take the magic of that moment,
Take it deeply to the heart.
Keep it safe and keep it with you
Don’t you ever,
Let it part.

Never let that magic leave you,
You never know when you’ll need,
The magic of a moment,
Will forever
Ever be.

It’s the magic of the moment,
In the magic which you live
It’s the magic of the second,
It’s your heart,

Madame Merry Go Round English LyricsWelcome to our, most happiest wonderland!
Where the locked chains, will be taken off from your poor, weak hands
There are Ferris Wheels, and Haunted Houses!
I'll be your slave tonight, don't worry, I won't be a disturbance

If you're tired from always playing
There's a cradle, you should be sleeping
Your mind will always keep you dreaming...

Madame Merry Go Round, oh
She is the Queen of the Fair, you know!
Madame Merry Go Round, oh!
She is covered in chains, you know!

Upon the horse, I saw something quite weird
It was the Utopia, then it disappeared

Madame Merry Go Round, oh
The world's 'life span' is going low!

So Just GoI know I didn’t really have much at all
Maybe some change and my phone to call
But I now you won’t want me long for now

You’ve finally found someone new
You were one of my only few
But it’s okay because love is something I can’t stop

So just go
Oh oh oh
I don’t mind, so forget about me and go on loving him
So just go
Oh oh oh
It was fun while it lasted but I guess my time is up

The bond that we were to have
Didn’t last as long as I had planned
But I guess you found someone to redeem the wasted time

I just have one thing to say
Please just listen before you go

Welcome to the LibraryI live inside a paper kingdom
That is so rarely plagued by boredom
And everyone's religion is wisdom
"Wisdom is the key to freedom,
After all."
Don't you know that knowledge is power?
Oh don't you know that knowledge is power,
After all.

But we can't leave our forts unattended
I used to have 5 million brothers
I used to have 5 million sisters
But now I only have 500 of each
The priests took them away and burned them because they loved to hate
Oh my siblings didn't have a clue about their untimely fate...

I used to know exactly what they were thinking
And their names were stamped on their paper-back spines
And they always started off their stories with a "Once upon a time"
Horror, suspense, adventure, and mystery...
Welcome to the library!

La-La-La-LaYou got a new boy every week
Singing you silly little love songs
They make you feel pretty
You're doing nothing wrong
You just get tired easily
So when one pretty boy is done
You go for another one

Singing la-la-la love is all you need
La-la-la, gets me weak in the knees
A million boys I could choose from
So I choose them all, oh, oh
I choose them all

Oh but those poor little love sick boys
Singing you silly little love songs
They must feel like toys
Like you're pulling them along
Like a little tug boat on string
But hey girls just wanna have fun
And girl you are having fun

Happy For Me (Silver Pennies)Wake up, sweetheart
From here it sounds like you’re a little disappointed
I’m standing up and moving on
You’re falling down and holding on
You reap what you sow but I’ll never know, oh
What goes on in that pretty little head, uh.
You left me for dead, oh
So what’re you crying for?

I lost faith in fighting ground, you turned my world upside down
I cried you silver pennies, but I didn’t make enough to change your way
I survived your storms and now I just wanna be happy for me, happy for me
You can’t let me go and I just want you to be happy for me, happy for me

Your bark is worse than your bite

Streetlamp LoverI remember watching you in the pale glow
Your eyes lit up like stars in the night sky
Something about you made that lamp post look like home
And I knew that you should never have to dance alone

You’re my little streetlamp lover
Dancing the night away
Oh, the way your eyes lower
You’re dancing my heart away
You’re dancing my heart away-ay

I remember touching you in the pale glow
Your skin as soft as clouds in the quiet sky
Something about you made my lonely heart feel at home
And I knew that you should never have to be alone

You’re my little streetlamp lover

Follow meI know I am not the one to tell you.
But I am the only one who can. 'Cause I am the only one left.
There is nothing more.
No people, no family.
No home.
No shelter at all.
It is all a lie.
And I know that you must feel sad, disappointed and even angry.
But it is exactly what you need to be.
The only way to survive this.
Yell at me if you want.
Hurt me if it makes you feel any better.
But you have to do this now!
I can not hold this little trapdoor forever.
The system is failing and if you don't come now...
You will be lost like all the others.Follow me2 days ago in Songs & Lyrics

Sunshine Dreaming (early version)SUNSHINE DREAMING

I dream of sunshine I could see
I dream of sunshine you could be
I dream of you giving me light
I dream of days you make so bright

These dreams are true but true unreal
I see a wall you cannot feel
The wall’s between us and is very high
I dream of time we both could fly

I dream of sunshine that is theeSunshine Dreaming (early version)2 days ago in Songs & Lyrics

The Royal GateAll around the world, criers still cry
All around the world, liars still lie
I picked up a stone just to, get stoned at the royal gate
Oh man, what a fate...

People screaming all around
People screaming on battlegrounds
People scream, and they scream, and they scream
"What a tragic, tragic, fate..."

This is my will, my final testament
That i'll try to give without no regrets
As long as, people still get, stoned by that royal gate
Forever more, will I, dare wait
As long as, people still get, stoned by that royal gate
Forever more, will I, dare wait

Oh, behind that royal gate
There is, a lion's den
Where they all go to, kill all the hens
Where they all go to, kill all the children
Where they all go to, kill all the wives
Where they all go to, kill all the husbands
And they do it all with rusty Swiss army knives!

All around the world, spies still spy
All around the world, untiers untie,
All the nooses and nooses, bodies fall limp from treesThe Royal Gate3 days ago in Songs & Lyrics

It's alright.When I turn
Where I fall
A piece of me
Is left so far behind
When I’m broke
I can’t feel
A tendency
To leave myself where I fall
I know someday I’ll find my place
There’s only time

Chorus:
There I’ll lie on my bed
Allow a few tears to fall
Then I’ll pray asking God for help
For he’s there for me
He’ll hold me close as I cry
And tell me it’s all right.

When I feel
Like I’m lost
A piece of glass
Broken more than once
Than instead
Of being placed
Where I belong
I’ve been swept beneath the rug
I wonder why life goes this way
And someday I’ll know

Chorus:
There I’lIt's alright.3 days ago in Songs & Lyrics
