Confusion
You know I stand in disbelief
I find strange consolation in your leaving
Life's so supernatural
Cannot survive forever without breathing
You can't live without disguise
And understand your mind
You can look me in the eyes
The only thing you'll find is your confusion
The stories that you tell to me
Are figments of your own imagination
People you pretend to be
Will you behold in fascination
'Til you stop to realize
That life is not for fun
When a thoughtless story dies
And standing there alone in your confusion
And where to go you go from there
It's your confusion
Alone inside your fantasy
You're 'fraid to leave your plastic situation
but still you find it hard to see
that this was meant to be your destination
'Til you can live without disguise
And understand your mind
You can look me in the eyes
The only thing you'll find is your confusion
And where to go you go from there
It's your confusion
'Til you stop to realize
That life is not for fun
When a thoughtless story dies
And standing there alone in your confusion
Where do you go from there
Nowhere
Confusion
Voices
Voices that call you,
through feelings inside you
Within your soul,
you feel them burning,
they take control in you
Voices that call you,
through feelings inside you
Voices insisting,
reminding, resisting
The way you feel,
all though you have to play,
you find parity by listening to...
Voices inside you,
they reason, they guide you
If you believe,
in what you want to be,
you'll find your destiny by listening to voices
Voices that call you, through feelings inside you
Voices insisting,
reminding, resisting
The way you feel,
all though you have to play,
you find parity by listening to...
Voices inside you,
they reason, they guide you
If you believe,
in what you want to be,
you'll find your destiny by listening to voices
Voices that call you,
through feelings inside you
Voices that call you,
through feelings inside you
Private Person
We may talk but you don't listen
You twist a tale,
you'll loose the comprehension
Seems communication's missing
And everything I say
Don't you think you're missing something
Thinking what you're missing
You seem to draw your own conclusions
'Bout what you need,
and what you think and feel
Understanding your illusions,
I feel nothing
We all need something
That's private
We all need something
That's private
You seem to draw your own conclusions
'Bout what you need,
and what you think and feel
Understanding your illusions,
I feel nothing
Don't you think you're missing something
Thinking what you're missing
Don't you think you're missing something
Thinking what you're missing
We may talk but you don't listen
You twist a tale,
you'll do the comprehension
Seems communication's missing
And everything I say
We all need something
That's private
We all need something
That's private
We all need something
That's private
We all need something
That's private
Someday
Strange Rhythm
Strange rhythm running through my vein
I try to stop my feet but I've got
Strange rhythm, got strange rhythm
Strange feeling seem to take me
Strange feeling, seems to make me miss
Seems to make me miss a beat
Strange feeling deep within my soul
I try to understand but I've got
Strange feeling, got strange feeling
Strange rhythm seem to take me
Strange rhythm, seems to take me
Strange rhythm, seems, seems to make me
Makes me miss a beat
Strange, but I can't help the feeling
Strange, I feel, I feel, I feel
Strange, maybe you can hear a
Strange rhythm, Strange
Strange rhythm,
I feel, I feel, I feel
Strange rhythm,
I try to understand but I've got, I've got
Strange feeling,
stange but I can't help the feeling
Strange, I feel, I feel
Strange, maybe maybe you can hear a
Strange

Cuts Like a Diamond
Awake in the night,
with head on your pillow
Touching your hair,
clutching your soul
A shape in the light,
a glow in the mirror
No goodbye,
leaving you cold
She takes a life,
a flip knife
She cuts like a diamond
The look in your eyes,
the way that you're feeling
The more that you try,
the more that you show
You're losing control
of all you were dreaming
She's breaking me down,
by letting me know
She takes a life, a flip knife
She cuts like a diamond
Awake in the night,
with head on your pillow (Deep like a diamond)
Touches your hair,
clutches your soul (Deep like a diamond)
A shape in the light,
a glow in the mirror (Deep like a diamond)
She takes a life
She takes a flat knife
She cuts like a diamond
She cuts like a diamond
She cuts like a diamond
She cuts like a diamond
She cuts like a diamond
She takes a flat knife
She cuts like a diamond
Diamond, diamond
She cuts like a diamond
By touching
By touching---they'll illuminate it--in the---box
With the---lightbeam...
Used to be glad,
I heard her soothe your feelings
Seemed the perfect situation
Feeling different,
Seems they're moving in
Circumstantial complication
Don't you need it,
Don't you miss the closeness
Don't you feel it,
Something's come between us
By surviving, revitalizing
We'll stop the fighting
Don't you need it,
Don't you miss the closeness
Don't you feel it,
Something's come between us
A new direction,
a different understanding
An electric education
While the system,
program--close your eyes and
You forgot our desperation
Don't you need it,
Don't you miss the closeness
Don't you feel it,
Something's come between us
By surviving, revitalizing
We'll stop the fighting
Used to be glad,
I heard her soothe your feelings
Seemed the perfect situation
Feeling different,
Seems they're moving in
Circumstantial complication
A new direction,
a different understanding
An electric education
While the system,
program--close your eyes and
You forgot our desperation
How Do You Do It?
She's elusive
You watch her moving
Leaves destruction
Leaves you bleeding
Makes you feel things
Your concentration
Lose control
Lose the meaning
Mystifying
Strange attraction
Snaps her fingers
Sees you crawling
Condescending
She knows the answer
Cuts the string
Stops you falling
How do you do it
Maybe you don't know
How you do it when you do it
How do you do it
Maybe if you show me
Maybe you don't
Explanation untold reactions
She sees the change
Sees you turning
Sympathizing
She keeps her distance
You feel the flame
You feel it burning
How do you do it
Maybe you don't know
How you do it when you do it
How do you do it
Maybe if you show me
Maybe you don't
She's elusive
You watch her moving
Leaves destruction
Leaves you bleeding
Makes you feel things
Your concentration
Lose control
Lose the meaning
How do you do it
Maybe you don't know
How you do it when you do it
How do you do it
Maybe if you show me
Maybe you don't
How do you do it
Maybe you don't know
How you do it when you do it
How do you do it
Maybe if you show me
Maybe you don't
Seems We Were Dreaming
When you go to sleep
Your life is a picture
Pictures you're dreaming
Seems we were deaming
Secrets you've been keeping
Sleeping on your mind
Let me close my eyes
To see what I'm feeling
Feel what I'm needing
When you go to sleep
In my head is a picture
Pictures we're dreaming
Seems we were deaming
Pictures
Pictures
Let me close my eyes
To see what I'm feeling
Feel what I'm needing
Seems we were deaming
Pictures
Secrets you've been keeping
Sleeping on your mind
When you go to sleep
In my head is a picture
Pictures we're dreaming
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
See what I'm feeling
Eyes of a Gypsy
(B-Side to "Confusion" single and
bonus track on cassette of "Identity")
Oooh Gypsy
She knows the meaning of life
Knows what the future will hold
Secrets inside the eyes of a gypsy
Stories that play with your mind
Reasons with no explanation
Things that you find through the eyes of a gypsy
Seems that she knows----------Oooh gypsy
Everything shows---------------Oooh gypsy
Plays with your soul------------Oooh gypsy
She's taking control-------------Oooh gypsy
She knows the meaning of life
Knows what the future is holding
Secrets inside the eyes of a gypsy
Maybe a gypsy will do what she says
Maybe a gypsy with serious ways
And see what you're feeling by reading inside
Your secret emotions controlling your mind
Seems that she knows----------Oooh gypsy
Everything shows---------------Oooh gypsy
Plays with your soul------------Oooh gypsy
She's taking control-------------Oooh gypsy
Stories that play with your mind
Reasons with no explanation
Things that you find through the eyes of a gypsy
Seems that she knows----------Oooh gypsy
Everything shows---------------Oooh gypsy
Plays with your soul------------Oooh gypsy
She's taking control-------------Oooh gypsy
Seems that she knows----------Oooh gypsy
Everything shows---------------Oooh gypsy
Plays with your soul------------Oooh gypsy
She's taking control-------------Oooh gypsy
Maybe a gypsy will do what she says
Maybe a gypsy with serious ways
And see what you're feeling by reading inside
Your secret emotions controlling your mind
