 "Raising Cain"
 (Album: Nerverland)

 I'm sick and tired of this masquerade
 I'm bored to death by the games we play
 for too long now it's been a charade
 don't wonna stay around to piss on your parade
 gotta get the hell outaa here
 too late now to wrap me up in cahins
 too late now to bite my tongue, stop me
 raising Cain

 the chip on your shoulder is a monkey on my back
 you steal the glory, I'll take the flak
 can't stand your accusations, your recriminations
 it's time to jump this train cos we've crashed the station
 don't wanna take this ride no more
 too late now to wrap me up in cahins
 too late now to bite my tongue, stop me
 raising Cain

 the gift of masque was like pearls before swine

 too late now to wrap me up in cahins
 too late now to bite my tongue, stop me
 raising Cain

 "Sway"
 (Album: Neverland)

 I'm not the animal I used to be but you
 shouldn't speak ill of the dead
 I've never been just one of the boys,
 I've never hidden guns under the bed
 I feel like Jesus, I feel betrayed,
 and you know damn well that I feel crucified
 assassination, shot full of vitriol,
 there's so many more heroic ways to die
 I close my eyes and I start to drift away
 I close my eyes and I start to sway
 lie back and think of England
 I'll just fake it some more
 a carrion feast for the ravens and the crows
 I know my price and I'll be your whore and
 I don't care if the whole damn world knows
 I feel so jaded, so tired and so worn,
 I feel like I've got nothing left to say
 I'll be a martyr, a brave little soldier cos
 there's so many demons left to purge and slay
 I close my eyes and I start to drift away
 I close my eyes and I start to sway

 trapped in the eye of a hurricane
 taking a ride on a runaway train
 behind the wheel of a crashing car
 caught in the trail of a falling star

 can't turn my back without a blade digging deap
 it's more than enough to make a grown man cry
 the god in me is the, the devil in you,
 there's so many more beautiful ways to die
 I close my eyes and I start to drift away
 I close my eyes and I start to sway
 I close my eyes and I start to drift away away
 close my eyes

 "Lose myself in you"
 (Album: Neverland)

 When you touch me you save my life
 I don't need redemption I don't want Christ
 all I'ev ever needed, all I've ever wanted is you
 so hey baby Rae you can elevate me
 you can raise me up, you can make me see
 the wonder and the innocense in everything little thing you do
 I wonna lose myself, lose myself in you
 I wonna lose myself, lose myself in you, lose myself in you

 when I look into your baby blue eyes
 I can see the ocean, I can see the skies
 I can see the sun and the moon and the history of the world
 you are the beacon, the guiding light
 you are the hand that leads me through the night
 you are the heavens most beautiful and brightest star
 I wanna lose myself, lose myself in you
 I wanna lose myself, lose myself in you, lose myself in you

 I never knew I could feel like this
 I never knew I could feel this way again
 I never knew it could be like this
 I never knew I could feel this way again
 so believe in me cos I believe in you
 Yes, I believe in you
 (I wonna) lose myself, lose myself in you
 (I wonna) lose myself, lose myself in you
 (I wonna) lose myself, lose myself in you
 (I wonna) lose myself, lose myself in you.

 "Swoon"
 (Album: Neverland)

 I, more than adore you
 Naked, standing before you
 Hold out our arms
 And open yourself wide
 Hold me dear
 Bury me deep inside
 Feel, fell the glow
 Come, Coming slow
 You make me Swoon

 I, Wanna turn you on
 Wanna take you high
 Sleight of hand
 slip of the tongue
 Sweet, how sweet you taste
 And the heat
 the heat you make
 You make me Swoon
 You make me Swoon

 I, more than adore you
 Naked, standing before you
 Hush, baby hush
 Rush, here comes the rush
 You make me Swoon
 You make me Swoon
 You make me Swoon
 You make me Swoon

 "Afterglow"
 (Album: Neverland)

 Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
 let me release you from your tangled skein
 burn down your temples and your holy shrines
 shift through the ashes for the truth that shines
 no more weeping or wringing of hands
 come with me to the promised land
 close your eyes and we'll go down slow
 we're gonna drown in the afterglow

 we're going down, we gonna drown  
 we're going down, we're going down, we gonna drown
 in the afterglow
 afterglow
 afterglow
 afterglow

 in the aftermath of Babylon
 all the pimps and whores have gone
 all the guilt has been laid to rest
 just remember mother never knew best
 tear down the walls raze them to the ground
 your ivory tower we'll burn it down
 and in the eveing when the sun gets low
 we're gonna drown in the afterglow.

 we're going down, we gonna drown  
 we're going down, we gonna drown
 we're going down, we gonna drown
 we're going down, we're going down, we gonna drown
 in the afterglow
 afterglow
 afterglow
 afterglow
 we're gonna drown in the afterglow
 afterglow
 afterglow
 afterglow .....

 "Stars don't shine without you"
 (Album: Neverland)

 I'll cry myself to sleep cos you're not here by my side
 I'll cry cos you're not with me, with me tonight
 I'll cry myself a river and drown in a torrent of tears
 I'll cry cose the stars have thrown down all their spears

 the stars don't shine without you
 and it makes me, makes me sad and blue
 the stars don't shine wothout you
 and there's nothing, no nothing I can do
 I'll cry myself an ocean and I'm stranded washed upon the shore
 I'll cry cos the stars don't shine for me no more.

 "Celebration"
 (Album: Neverland)

 Let's dance around in circles
 let's dance around the maypole
 let's welcome the season
 let's celebrate Mama Nature's bountiful soul
 let's feast at her banquet
 give thanks and let the good times roll
 come on and join hands
 come on with me and be my May Queen
 come on hang your drum
 come on and shake your ass and tambourine
 rejoice and let's get merry
 come on and let's dig this scene
 let's all come together on this celebration day
 let's all come together on this celebration day

 let's all come together on this celebration day
 let's all come together on this celebration day

 "Cry like a baby"
 (Album: Neverland)

 Well I can't take it, fake it anymore
 everyone I know is a pimp or a whore
 as ugly as sin and as sleazy as hell
 everyone I know has got trash to sell
 from the mouth's of babes come the words of the wise
 please don't ask me to apologise
 load up your gun to play russian roulette
 I'll take another drag on your funny cigarette
 and I'll cry like a baby,
 I'll cry like a baby, like a baby

 rally the troops, the battle lines are drawn
 the darkes hour comes before the dawn
 don't you talk to me of self-respect
 cos all I hear is cause and effect
 I've got no bridges left to burn
 got no place left to turn
 I'm a shooting start ready to crash
 don't want your credit I'll just take you cash
 and I'll cry like a baby
 I'll cry like a baby,
 I'll cry, cry like a baby,
 I'll cry, cry like a baby,
 like a baby, a baby

 crawl back under your stone, hide your face in shame
 look at yourself cos I'm too easy to blame
 the smell of burning martyr, stench of decay
 I'll trample over you if you get in my way
 and I'll cry like a baby
 I'll cry like a baby,
 I'll cry like a baby,
 I'll cry like a baby,
 I'll cry like a baby,
 I'll cry like a baby, baby
 I'll cry like a baby, baby
 I'll cry, cry like a baby, like a baby

 "Heaven knows"
 (Album: Neverland)

 Good lord above I'm falling in love
 I'm falling like a heavy black rain
 and I know how it feels to be head over heals
 I'm falling like an avalanche again
 as beautiful as you are
 as elusive as the stars
 as raging and as wild as the sea
 aas eternal as the moon
 as mysterious as the womb
 you mean everything to me
 and heaven knows I'm so wrapped up in you
 so tangled up in everything you do
 and heaven knows it always seems to be
 more like a curse than a blessing, a blessing for me

 well I have to profess I'm so absessed
 and it's taking over everything I do
 and forever more like waves upon the shore
 I'm drowning at the very thought of you
 as black as the blues
 as tender as a bruise
 you give me everything I ask you for
 as delicious as the pain that comes slowly and again
 I take everything your give and still want more
 and heaven knows I'm so wrapped up in you
 so tangled up in everything you do
 and heaven knows it always seems to be
 more like a curse than a blessing, a blessing for me

 as delicate as the wings
 of the butterfly summer brings
 as sweet as the honey of the bee
 as miserable as regret
 a betrayal I can't forget
 you are everything to me
 and heaven knows I'm so wrapped up in you
 so tangled up in everything you do
 and heaven knows it always seems to be
 more like a curse than a blessing, a blessing for me.

 "Swim with the dolpings"
 (Album: Neverland)

 I wanna fly with Peter Pan
 I wanna go with Alice to Wonderland
 I wanna pitch ball to Shoeless Joe
 I wanna roam the plains with the buffalo
 oh-oh, oh-oh, and before I die
 oh-oh, oh-oh, and before I die all I wanna do
 is swim with the dolphins
 is swim with the dolphins

 I wanna fly with Peter Pan
 I wanna go with Alice to Wonderland
 I wanna walk the Yellow Brick Road
 I wanna buy back the dreams I sold
 oh-oh, oh-oh, and before I die
 oh-oh, oh-oh, and before I die all I wanna do
 is swim with the dolphins
 is swim with the dolphins
 is swim with the dolphins
 is swim with the dolphins
 is swim with the dolphins
 is swim with the dolphins
 is swim with the dolphins

 "Neverland"
 (Album: Neverland)

 Sometimes I feel so old I wanna die
 feel like I'm sick at heart
 sometimes I just wonna break down and cry
 feel like I'm falling apart
 angel come and rescue me
 angel come and take my hand
 angel come and rescue me
 come and take my come with me to Neverland

 sometimes I feel like a candle burning down
 feel like my flame is getting dim
 sometimes I feel like a ship that's run aground
 feel like I'm twisted by the wind
 angel come and rescue me
 angel come and take my hand
 angel come and rescue me
 come and take my come with me to Neverland

 so weary and so tired I close my eyes but sleep just won't come
 so messed up and wired I feel so old and I wanna die,
 fell so cold and I'm sick of trying,
 fell so cold, feel so numb
 angel come and rescue me
 angel come and take my hand
 angel come and rescue me
 come and take my come with me to Neverland
 angel come and rescue me
 angel come and take my hand
 angel come and rescue me
 come and take my come with me to Neverland

 "Daddy's going to heaven now"
 (Album: Neverland)

 Come close my baby girl
 I've got something I need to say
 I'll miss you my darling child
 I'm so sorry I gotta go away
 so say goodbye cos daddy's going to heaven now
 say goodbye cos daddy's going to heaven now

 remember I've no regrets
 remember I'll never forget
 you gave me joy and blind delight
 you gave me faith and shone so bright
 you gave me reason and I'm proud of you
 be good, be strong, be honest and true
 so say goodbye cos daddy's going to heaven now
 say goodbye cos daddy's going to heaven now
 say goodbye cos daddy's going to heaven now
 say goodbye cos daddy's going to heaven now

 I'm so tired now so frail and so weak
 I've been fighting so long I need release
 I've never been scared, scared to die
 don't mourn for me, don't even cry
 cos when sleep comes to end this pain
 I know in my heart I will see you again
 so say goodbye cos daddy's going to heaven now
 say goodbye cos daddy's going to heaven now
 say goodbye cos daddy's going to heaven now
 say goodbye cos daddy's going to heaven now
 say goodbye
 say goodbye
 say goodbye
 say goodbye
