The Cutting Edge

The Cutting Edge has inner vision It's going mad gets away from it all Passing time hopes crash on death row No peace of mind yet completely secure

Chorus: Don't forget to say I love you Don't forget the price on your head Don't forget I'm thinking of you And don't forget the Cutting Edge

Hush, hush my friend learn to listen This day's work a wall a silence Winning a gold they drive a hard bargain Tight fists, close shaves, tighten their grip

(chorus)

Decayed cadavers now forgotten tribes Still line the bed of the Orinoco But the skulls of long lost conquistadores No longer dream of El Dorado (chorus)Snakes And Ladders

Watch them dance at the drop of a hat Do they still believe that this world is flat Open your hearts and give us your gold March to the tune if you want to grow old You play Snakes and Ladders Forget all that matters I'm in tears and shattered over nothing One rung higher than you Two rungs lower than him I play Snakes and Ladders too You cause pain where e'er you tread They're served sand but you eat bread Scurry rats, leave the sinking ship They want no part of your death trip You play Snakes and Ladders Forget all that matters I'm in rags and tatters over nothing One step forward from you Two steps backwards Now we all play Snakes and LaddersShot In The Dark

Love lies limp and restless in a mess on the floor No one thought to ask what it came here for Disregard the spent cartridge, killed all sensitivity Disposable life in one fell swoop, a hundred thousand possibilities "Love miracle" it was a shot in the dark Now my life seems so hit and miss There's a feather in my cap but only I know the truth It was a shot in the dark Shot in the dark Dogs leave their mark Shot in the dark The bite is worse than the bark No one heard the foghorn, hips that meet in the night Well I was shooting night for day, i wanted to treat you right The wound will surely heal with all probability Just rolling the dice with one bitter pill, a hundred thousand possibilities "Love miracle" it was a shot in the dark Now nothing feels so null and void There's a feather in my cap but only I know the truth It was a shot in the darkConcrete

Move love get on your feet We're gonna break the concrete Drive bulldozers down the street We're gonna make the concrete Move love get on your feet We're gonna shake the concrete Lift that slab find a beach We're gonna make the concrete move Darling did the earth move for you this time Well stone me, you've certainly got an axe to grind Mind's mixed up but the flesh is willing I'd like to help you out but it's me you're drilling Move love get on your feet We're gonna break the concrete Drive bulldozers down the street We're gonna make the concrete Move love get on your feet We're gonna shake the concrete Under the flagstone lies a beach We're gonna make the concrete move Time runs wild I'm up to my neck in sand Ooh lover all I need's a steady hand Shake it, shake it Move it, move it You're nobody Move it, move it Think I'm cracking up ev'ry word abstraction No more thick as thieves with the violent faction Move, love get on your feet We're gonna break the concrete Drive bulldozers down the street We're gonna make the concrete Move love get on your feet We're gonna shake the concrete Lift that slab find a beach We're gonna make the concrete move Darling did the earth move for you this time Well stone me, you've certainly got an axe to grind Move it, move it You're nobody Move it, move it 'Cause you live in concreteLuxury

It was a small world where I found you From a hundred million people I chose you In a flight of fancy, crudely emotive I once loved a woman with no hidden motive It's a small world and I found you Chorus Lovers intertwine Through the barbed wire grows the vine Erotic and irrational It's a dangerous world Catch me as I fall Well we're flesh and blood, you're a part of me Our child is living proof of the right chemistry I fear my feelings gotta keep up my chin Just have to keep on fighting the enemy within 'Cause my pain is your pain, you're a part of me Chorus Don't you clip the wings of love Don't you clip the wings of love When it's locked away love still glistens Hearts will scream when no one listens Don't you clip the wings of love ChorusLuddite Joe

Speeding through landscapes stopping for no one Cutting the air not avoiding the coastline Don't stop for breath there's no point in breathing There's dust on your face but it dries up the bleeding Can you hear me Are you receiving Hello, hello this is Luddite Joe Calling MAYDAY, calling MAYDAY Scanning the bandwidth frequency skipping Pinning your hopes on an effigy of yourself Deus ex machina is the wind that controls you There's a gun in your mouth but you're frightened to use it Can you hear me Do you receive me Hello, hello this is Luddite Joe Calling MAYDAY, calling MAYDAY Watching and waiting nightfall to daybreak The screen is your window, white noise and fading Your sex is your own, gotta make do with yourself How long have you got, better face the facts there's no one else Can you hear me Are you receiving Hello, hello this is Luddite Joe Calling MAYDAY, calling MAYDAYMegalomaniac

Oh no, not another megalomaniac Invaders came to tear this land apart But they wouldn't sacrifice, oh no They couldn't win my heart As the morning star rises like a firefly I stand on Cactus Rock alone For this is the last time Backing off the victory roll I'm not spoiling for a fight Wear the turquoise mask tonight Like a thunderclap The ugly ones attack There's no turning back So go Blue Hummingbird Oh no, not another megalomaniac Fettered and chained while smoky eagles rise And the winds four directions will blow But not erase them from our minds And the crumpled feathers on this broken wing Cannot impair our flight oh no Burning spirits sing Help my tormented soul to rest This is not my time nor place Give the turquoise mask a face Like a thunderclap The ugly ones attack There's no turning back So go Blue Hummingbird Oh no, not another megalomaniac
