THE POODLES LYRICS

1. Before I Die


Oh, they're chasing fireflies
Through the midnight skies
Dancing so mysteriously
In shadows still they rise

Moonlight in a silver lane
Stalk into the night
Like the sweetest memory
A magic carpet ride

Like a warm embrace you miss it when it's gone
Just a moment's peace before it passes on

Show me the light I want to see!
Tell me the words I want to hear
I need to know the miracles of life
Show me the light I want to see!
Tell me the words I want to hear
I need to feel I've lived before I die

No one's given certainty
Everyone must play
We all hope for victory
No matter what we say

Remember when you fail,
mistakes will make you strong
You're a part of all
and life means you no wrong

Show me the light I want to see!
Tell me the words I want to hear
I need to know the miracles of life
Show me the light I want to see!
Tell me the words I want to hear
I need to feel I've lived before I die
I've lived before I die

Show me the light I want to see!
Tell me the words I want to hear
I need to know the miracles of life
I've lived before I die
Show me the light I want to see!
Tell me the words I want to hear
I need to feel I've lived before I die
I've lived before I die
I've lived before I die
I've lived before I die


2. House Of Cards


Through my telescope, I can analyze
What I don't understand, I judge and criticize
From my hiding place in the loneliness
I fear I'll lose control of my tainted soul

Living in a time that is so hard to understand
Watching everybody stake and claim
the Promised Land
Say they know the way or what you can
depend upon
I realize we've gone too far, too far, too far, too far
If I were born another man and personality
Maybe in distant and far off galaxy
Somewhere in the universe there is a place for me
I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We're living in a house of cards

It's not ignorance, I have really tried
To see every side and put away my pride
From my solitude in the dark and cold
Now my Shangri-La seems unreachable

Living in a time that is so hard to understand
Watching everybody stake and claim
the Promised Land
Say they know the way or what you can
depend upon
I realize we've gone too far, too far, too far, too far
If I were born another man and personality
Maybe in distant and far off galaxy
Somewhere in the universe there is a place for me
I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We're living in a house of cards

I cannot deny or be a stranger to myself
I'm looking in the mirror and blaming no one else
This house of cards is falling as I turn and walk away
I realize we've gone too far
What I thought was nothing might be
something after all
All the hidden meanings beyond what I control
I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We're living in a house of cards


3. The Greatest


This will be the moment when we all stand up and try
When the standing ovations ring out and people cry
When they spot that light
On a lonely stage
And the world is watching you, my friend
We will stand and raise our voices
We will sing
Until the end

This is the real thing, tonight is the greatest
Stand up and sing it, I know you can feel it
If you just take my hand and look in my eyes
Tonight this will be the ride of your life
Oh oh, oh yeah, tonight is the greatest

You travel so far and wide
Along that dusty road at night
Looking for the stars that shine, that shine, that shine
Uhh, yeah
So many dreamers here tonight
So many words so little time
So spread your wings and you will fly
You'll fly, you'll fly, you'll fly!

This is the real thing, tonight is the greatest
Stand up and sing it, I know you can feel it
If you just take my hand and look in my eyes
Tonight this will be the ride of your life
Oh oh, oh yeah, tonight is the greatest

Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
ooh ooh ooh ooh,
ooh ooh ooh ooh,
ooh ooh ooh

And when the curtain falls and the night is done
And the silence rolls like thunder
From a distant call I hear my people call
I will be right there to answer!

This is the real thing, tonight is the greatest
Stand up and sing it, I know you can feel it
If you just take my hand and look in my eyes
Tonight this will be the ride of your life
Oh oh, oh yeah, tonight is the greatest
Oh ooooh, tonight is the greatest


4. Crack In The Wall


The sky is burning,
and what is done can't be undone
I move away from this
armageddon path we're on
New destination means
something has gotta give
Mindless consumption;
the lifestyle made us all addictive

There's a crack in the wall, risking it all
I need more than words to hang on to
Now it's a choice we've got
Despair or not, but face the enemy!
There's crack in the wall, risking it all
What more do we need to see the truth
It's easy to complicate, intoxicate
our destiny to face our enemy

Oceans depleted,
you find pollution every where
Now we all know it,
but tell me do we really care
Rainforest cut down,
no secret what is going on
temperature rises,
it's time to cross the rubicon

There's a crack in the wall, risking it all
I need more than words to hang on to
Now it's a choice we've got
Despair or not, but face the enemy!
There's crack in the wall, risking it all
What more do we need to see the truth
It's easy to complicate, intoxicate
our destiny to face our enemy

There's a crack in the wall, risking it all
I need more than words to hang on to
Now it's a choice we've got
Despair or not, but face the enemy!
There's crack in the wall, risking it all
What more do we need to see the truth
It's easy to complicate, intoxicate
our destiny to face our enemy


5. Baby


What the hell, Baby!
What is going on?
Tell me where I went wrong
'Cause I'm really trying
Baby!
To get the picture right
I ain't here to start a fight
Just want to get this straight

She said long branch Penny was her middle name
From that one day nothing was the same
She's gone away and now I cannot breathe
Still what I find is a horrible relief
I've been a ramblin' and a gamblin' man
Now all my treasures hidden in the sand
I feel it slippin' out of my hands

What the hell, Baby!
What is going on?
Tell me where I went wrong
'Cause I'm really trying
Baby!
To get the picture right
I ain't here to start a fight
Just want to get this straight

I tip, tip dancing on a land mine
Still you tell me that I'm doing fine
And this arrangement is the killing kind
A guarantee to make me lose my mind
Tell me should I stay or go?
What d'you think is so hard to know

I was blinded by the light
When she came within my sight
I was blinded by the light

What the hell, Baby!
What is going on?
Tell me where I went wrong
'Cause I'm really trying
Baby! Baby!
To get the picture right
I ain't here to start a fight
Just want to get this straight now


6. Everything


Here comes the night, again
I wait for the light, and then
You are gone
How can I go on?

You're a fire burning in my soul
It's a feeling that I can't explain
And tonight my heart is going cold
At the thought of losing you again

Everything you say
Everything you do
Brings me back to the nights with you
Just the way you move
And the way you smile
Let me stay with you a while
`Cause this time I know
That I can't let you go
Everything I say
Everything I do
Is because of you

Here comes the pain, I know
I waited in vain, alone
You're not here
How can I go on?

And tonight my heart is going cold
At the thought of losing you again

Everything you say
Everything you do
Brings me back to the nights with you
Just the way you move
And the way you smile
Let me stay with you a while
`Cause this time I know
That I can't let you go
Everything I say
Everything I do

Tonight I leave the past behind
Oh, yeah
I dream of what we never found

Everything you say
Everything you do
Brings me back to the nights with you
Just the way you move
And the way you smile
Let me stay with you a while
Everything you say
Everything you do
Brings me back to the nights,
back to the nights with you
Just the way you move
And the way you smile
Let me stay with you a while
`Cause this time I know
That I can't let you go
Everything I say
Everything I do
Is because of you


7. Stop


You really took me by surprise
Your silver tongue and angel eyes
My heart is yours I'll never be free

So tell me now
Do we need this masquerade?
Take of your shades, face me

You got to stop now I'm begging you
I can't take more and I'm on my knees
You got to stop
'Cause my time is running out
Tick tock, tick tock
You got to stop now I'm begging you
You know I'm half the man I used to be
I got to stop
'Cause my time is running out

The moon comes up, the sun goes down
Still I'm walking down your street
I'm left here like a dog without a bone

So tell me now, why we need this masquerade
Take of your shades, face me

You got to stop now I'm begging you
I can't take more and I'm on my knees
You got to stop
'Cause my time is running out
Tick tock, tick tock
You got to stop now I'm begging you
You know I'm half the man I used to be
I got to stop
'Cause my time is running out
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

You got to stop now I'm begging you
Tick tock, Tick tock

You got to stop now I'm begging you
I can't take more and I'm on my knees
You got to stop
'Cause my time is running out
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock


8. Need To Believe


You know, we all fall down
We will lose our crown
And the life we gained
Is given back again

But tonight we are
Burning bright as stars
And what we leave behind
Will last the end of time

Somewhere, I hope I'll find it someway

I need to believe
That we can be free
And follow the road
That will take us home
I wish you could see
The fire in me
And look to the sky
To get through the night

I need to believe
I need to believe

You know there was a time
I thought I lost my mind
And the choices I made
took me further away
But then there came a day
I hadn't lost my way
And now the path was clear
and I was free from fear

Somewhere, I hope I'll find it someway

I need to believe
That we can be free
And follow the road
That will take us home
I wish you could see
The fire in me
And look to the sky
To get through the night

I need to believe
I need to believe

I need to believe
That we can be free
And follow the road
That will take us home
I wish you could see
The fire in me
And look to the sky
To get through the night

I need to believe
That we can be free
And follow the road
That will take us home

I need to believe, to believe


9. Alive


I don't need no final destination
I don't have a master plan
I don't look for riches 'cause what I have learned
What I treasure are things that money just can't buy
I just can't buy

I'm alive! I'm alive!
Breathing, it's wonderful
I'm alive, alive!
A feeling unstoppable

This is my way to magnify
The inconceivable gift of life
I'm alive! I'm alive!
I'm burning, burning, burning!

Some days the news just bring me down
I don't say I'm always strong
But I'll rise and pick the pieces up again
Go on, move on, up until the very end
The very end

I'm alive! I'm alive!
Breathing, it's wonderful
I'm alive, alive!
A feeling unstoppable

This is my way to magnify
The inconceivable gift of life
I'm alive! So alive!
I'm burning, burning, burning!

I'm alive! I'm alive! So alive!

This is my way to magnify
The inconceivable gift of life
I'm alive! So alive!
I'm burning, burning, burning!


10. Life Without You


Silence echoes, burning memories
Feel the walls closing in
Counting seconds, Sweating bullets
Blood boils under my skin

Suddenly I'm wide awake
Can't you hear how this heart aches
Come back again baby before it breaks

All I know is the wheels keep turning
They will carry me far away
and tomorrow we'll be left with nothing
but memories
All I know is the wheels keep turning
I can't go back to yesterday
'Cause I can't imagine life without you
without you, yeah

Complication, missing pieces
in the puzzle of life

You're in every breath I take
Can't you hear how this heart aches
Come back again baby before it breaks

All I know is the wheels keep turning
They will carry me far away
and tomorrow we'll be left with nothing
but memories
All I know is the wheels keep turning
I can't go back to yesterday
'Cause I can't imagine life without you
without you

All I know is the wheels keep turning
They will carry me far away
and tomorrow we'll be left with nothing
but memories
All I know is the wheels keep turning
I can't go back to yesterday
'Cause I can't imagine life without you
without you, yeah
my life without you


11. Creator And Breaker


The rich man in his garden
The poor man in the street
If there's a god among us
Then wake us from our sleep

And fill the space between us
The social gap so deep
To fill the space between us
is a promise hard to keep

Tell me what you want me to do
What I have to believe to give it all up to you
You giver and a taker
Creator and breaker
Tell me what you want me to do
What I have to believe to give it all up to you
You giver and a taker
Creator and breaker

Sometimes when we are lonely
and feel like no one cares
Then know you're not the only
who's got a cross to bear

To fill the space between us
To reach out for someone
And fill the space between us
is easier said than done

Tell me what you want me to do
What I have to believe to give it all up to you
You giver and a taker
Creator and breaker
Tell me what you want me to do
What I have to believe to give it all up to you
You giver and a taker
Creator and breaker

Tell me what you want me to do
What I have to believe to give it all up to you
You giver and a taker
Creator and breaker
Tell me what you want me to do
What I have to believe to give it all up to you
You giver and a taker
Creator and breaker

Oooh ohhhh ohhhh
Creator and breaker
Oooh ohhhh ohhhh
Creator and breaker, breaker, breaker
Oooh ohhhh ohhhh
Oooh ohhhh ohhhh
Oooh ohhhh ohhhh
Oooh ohhhh ohhhh


12. Borderline


A mother took her last breath
without losing her pride
With a smiling face she said, lying on her bed
"Precious one, now you must go,
the wolfs are everywhere
This land is full of fear,
and there's no future here"

I walk the borderline
I'm fighting to survive
For reasons I can't see
The doors are closed on me
I walk the borderline
Running on adrenaline
Someone explain to me
Why I'm the enemy
If you would be color blind
Would I still walk the borderline

In another time and circumstance,
would we still be here?
Standing on the brim, swearing free from sin
The fragment that is left of me,
is that all that you can see
All bridges they have burned,
the point of no return

I walk the borderline
I'm fighting to survive
For reasons I can't see
The doors are closed on me
I walk the borderline
Running on adrenaline
Someone explain to me
Why I'm the enemy
If you would be color blind
Would I still walk the borderline

I walk the borderline
I'm fighting to survive
For reasons I can't see
The doors are closed on me
I walk the borderline
Running on adrenaline
Someone explain to me
Why I'm the enemy
If you would be color blind
Would I still walk the borderline
