TALISMAN LYRICS

1. Skin on Skin

Baby I'm not complainin' but I think I must attest
You just ain't the devil I used to know, slipping out that tight blue dress
Now I know I ain't no little boy but I still got lots of juice
I'm still down with your lip smacking ways and little wild abuse

I'd rather die than be without you
No real surprise, what I wouldn't do
Turn out the lights it's time again
I'm digging your reaction, skin on skin

I'm a monkey on your see saw, like a doggy on a swing
Girl I don't know what I'm saying 'cause it just don't mean a thing

I'd rather die than be without you
No real surprise, what I wouldn't do
Turn out the lights it's time again
I'm digging your reaction, skin on skin

Not much on flowers and kisses
I'm more for unadulterated
You know how to fill my wishes
We're now just starting, baby

[Solo]

Tell me, are you feeling lucky, now I'm feeling kinda spent
My libido's saying what the hell, can we do it all again?

I'd rather die than be without you
No real surprise, what I wouldn't do
Turn out the lights it's time again
I'm digging your reaction, skin on skin

2. Break It Down

It's all inconceivable, it's hard to believe
How you could just turn it around
You simply deserve the blame, but how can you live with yourself
As I drown

Hear me speak your fate
I'll break it down
It's time to set you straight
And break it down again

These gates of hell you call love, I'm finally free
I've taken the passage to freedom
I don't want to complicate, I just want you to understand
All's I see's, oh-whoa

Hear me speak your fate
I'll break it down
It's time to set you straight
And break it down again

3. In Make Believe

Nobody knows what a fool's mind wants to believe
And this fool lives in make believe

Everyday's a fantasy
Living through a video game where I'm the king running
I'm the bad moon rising
Night and day are all the same
Living on a coaster ride like e a bullet train coming
Sun is always shining

Nobody knows what a fool's mind wants to believe
And this fool lives in make believe

I can do anything I want, feel it up
Throw it back down with no regard, honey
Ain't life what I make it
You can be me, so high and free
Paint your face purple, gold take it to the hole, baby
Calm is overrated

Nobody knows what a fool's mind wants to believe
And this fool lives in make believe

[Solo]

I'm schizophrenic and so am I
Double life screaming out loud in my room o' rubber
Madly, truly deeply
I can breakout if I wanna be free,
But I like the lives that I've attained
Y'all come back and see me

Da, da da da, da da da da da da da da, da da......

Nobody knows what a fool's mind wants to believe
And this fool lives in make believe

4. Love Will Come Again

There's someone crying alone again
Involuntary tears fall, sans the reason
The final hour just keeps reviving
No hope to warm your heart from the freezin'

The old cliche passed from time to time
Acknowledge these words to all the wise

Love will come again
When you least expect it, love comes tumbling in
Love will come again
There's no need for searching, you'll find your love again

It's never easy, and so I'm told
Unnecessary visions filled with anger
You must release it, despite the honour
In hope that you will free yourself from the danger

The old cliche passed from time to time
Acknowledge these words to all the wise

Love will come again
When you least expect it, love comes tumbling in
Love will come again
There's no need for searching, you'll find your love again

5. Outta My Way

You picked a bad, bad day to get under my skin
I did not come here to play, so don't you even begin
Don't push your luck, I'm 'bout to snap,
Watch your back when I get started
I'm a lit short fuse, on the loose, I'm cruel and stone-hearted

Look at my face, do you really safe
Look at my eyes, I'm a paralyze
Outta my way, best to keep your distance
Outta my way, I'm a like a time bomb 'bout to explode

Don't you cross my path, it's a losing proposition
There's a riot in my head, a warhead disposition
Any given day of the week, I'm a freak ain't no doubt about it
If you ain't got a smile or some grain, you'd better hit it

Look at my face, do you really feel safe
Look at my eyes, I'm a paralyze
Outta my way, best to keep your distance
Outta my way, like a psycho filled with vengeance
Outta my way, I'm a like a time bomb 'bout to explode

[Solo]

You seem to push my button at just the right moment
It's like you're squeezing a trigger aimed at my silence
Well, I've news for you, I got your ticket I got your number
You'd better have the instinct to hide from my thunder

6. Friends to Strangers

I know it sounds absurd
Lately the things I've heard
There's no use for your denying
The words I wanna hear
You're so not even near
But I always give in to your crying

Screams of anger lead to bitter ends
24/7, never seem to compromise
Friends to strangers words cannot defend
Now does it feel good, now does it feel right
Somehow my dignity is buried alive

How do we advertise, our souls are victimised
We're miles from the road to heaven
Let's make this one thing clear, I've had it bout to here,
You've taken much more than you've given

Justifying all your every ways
I can forgive but I can't forget, nor I should
I ain't buying what more can I say
Now do you feel good, tell me do you feel right
It's only fair to tell me what's on your mind

[Solo]

The words I wanna hear
You're so not even near
But I'm always giving in to your crying

Screams of anger lead to bitter ends
24/7, never seem to compromise
Friends to strangers words cannot defend
Don't think I can't see it in your eyes
Justifying all your every ways

7. Sorry

Girl I'm sorry for the sorrow
I'm sorry for the pain
Girl I'm sorry for the misery
And I'm sorry for the rain

I'm so sorry for confusion
So sorry for the questions why
But most of all I have too state
Girl I'm sorry for goodbye

'Cause I really want you, I really need you
And I really like the chance too say
Don't tell me it's over, tell me you think it's not too late

Babe I'm sorry for the reasons
So sorry for the times u cried
And I'm sorry for the time we lost
But sorry don't always make it right

'Cause I really want you, I really need you
And I really like the chance too say
Don't tell me it's over, tell me you think it's not too late

Hear me singing

'Cause I really want you, I really need you
And I really like the chance too say
Don't tell me it's over, tell me you think it's not too late

8. Trapped

Why can't you tell me that you want me
Like all the days that've been and gone
Why can't you tell me that you needs me?
Treatin' me like I did you wrong

Loss of all control again
I never thought you'd slide
So far away, here today, gone away

What ever happened to the mystery
All of the fire's seem to die

I'm trapped in the memories of you
And I can't get away
I'm tainted by everything you do
I'm trapped by you

[Solo]

Where are the vows of never-ending?
Where is the writing on the wall?
Why do I feel it's all pretending
I'm on the edge about to fall

No more sink or swim, my friend
You've crawled under my skin
So far away, here today, gone away

How do I think I'm make it
Don't even matter if I try

9. M.O.M

I'm alive, I can face another battle
I can finally breathe again
I'm alive, I've diminished all the demons
Now I'm purged from all the sin

I been living for the danger
And I rivaled with the best
Didn't care about the meaning
Never settled up for less

All the frustrations that eluded me
I've finally set them free

This time tomorrow
I will run away again
This road that I follow
Is my only friend
Empty and hollow
No longer can pretend
That this time tomorrow
I'm out of my own misery

Step aside, I can see past through the anger
And I might as well begin
To divide, all the rhyme without a reason
And the sham beneath my skin

Do you really know the secret
Am I missing that one clue?
Do you really know the answer
Can you see my point of view?

I'm so offended by the bed I've made
Somehow I feel betrayed

10. Wherever Whenever Whatever

Wherever you go I'd follow, my heart is yours for the taking
Whenever you need me to get you through the sorrow
Whatever you want I'd honour, I live the love that we're making
Reach out and I'll be there fill your world with colour

I've seen you at times of deep despair
I've been there through tears of sadness
It pains me to view foreseen mistakes
But still I turn my soul away

Wherever you go I'd follow, my heart is yours for the taking
Whenever you need me to get you through the sorrow
Whatever you want I'd honour, I live the love that we're making
Reach out and I'll be there fill your world with colour

Rewind to the days we were mere friends
I dreamed of how we'd be with passion
you were so misled, left for dead, without reason
I picked up the pieces once again

Wherever you go I'd follow, my heart is yours for the taking
Whenever you need me to get you through the sorrow
Whatever you want I'd honour, I live the love that we're making
Reach out and I'll be there fill your world with colour

Now I'm here to share your laughter
Now I'm here to brighten everyday
I pledge to keep the sky singing
for you the most in every way

11. Lost in the Wasteland

Comes a time when you feel like you need
A little time away

Got to leave this situation
Fix me with a new sedation

Lost in the wasteland - I could be anywhere
Gone in my haven - don't even really care
Lost in the wasteland - I really need to elude this nightmare

Got a grip, got control what to do where to go
A little sanctuary, solitary's all I want to know

Take a ride to another lifetime
Say goodnight to your nasty deadlines

Lost in the wasteland - I could be anywhere
Gone in my haven - don't even really care
Lost in the wasteland - I really need to elude this nightmare

[Solo]

Dim the lights, close your eyes take a drift
Into my blissful garden

Got to leave this situation
Fix me with a new sedation

12. Hell in Paradise

I've been around a long time,
But still you don't know I exist
I'm the one, the only one,
The saviour you've been waiting for

And I'll ride on 'til my time has finally come
When I finally see the dawn, and on and on

Years gone by, I've learned to defy
'Til I get what is mine
Sing the song, I'll carry on,
The saviour you've been looking for

And I'll be strong I won't ever come undone
'Til I finally see the dawn and on and on...

Hell in paradise (paradise)
I've more than paid the price (pleasure in disguise)
I'd try to educate you but you'd never understand
Hell in paradise (paradise)
This is my way of life (pleasure in disguise)
Heaven help the madman

[Solo]

And I'll ride on 'til my time has finally come
When I finally see the dawn, and on and on

Hell in paradise (paradise)
I've more than paid the price (pleasure in disguise)
I'd try to educate you but you'd never understand
Hell in paradise (paradise)
This is my way of life (pleasure in disguise)
I'll say it again and again and again and again, I'm taking you to
Hell in paradise (paradise)
Make you lose your mind (nothing's hard to find)
Heaven help the madman
