LYRICS OF THE

NEVERLAND

ALBUM

"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

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

"Neverland"

(Album: Neverland)

Sometimes I feel so old I wanna die

feel like I'm sick at heart
