THE LION THE BEAST THE BEAT
Steady Now
Steady Now
Don’t fear what you can’t see
Ready Now

I’ll hold on to you
You hold on to me
I found the heart of a Lion
In the belly of the Beast
And I held it in my hand
And I could feel
I could feel
Feel the BeatGas up the easy rider
And head out for Nevada
Somebody let the Beast out, baby
It’s time to meet your maker
Make the road your undertaker
Somebody let the Beast out babyCan’t stop the Beat
Can’t stop the Beat
Run but you can’t hide from the heat
Life is a record playing on repeat
I’m running wild
With the Lion, the Beast, the BeatSo don’t you try to tame the Lion
Just ride on the horizon
Somebody let the Beast out baby
We all hide our desire
Then we feel the Beat like fire
Somebody let the Beast out babyCan’t stop the Beat
Can’t stop the Beat
Run but you can’t hide from the heat
When life is a record playing on repeat
I’m running wild
With the Lion, the Beast, the BeatThe Lion

Run but you can’t hide from the heat
When life is a record playing on repeat
I’m running wild

NEVER GO BACK
You running round in circles
But you won’t find no better than this
And after all your searching
You come back to the place that you missedBut I’m closing up for the season
I see you out there – you’re freezin’
But I’m never letting you back in againOh no
Oh no
I’ll never go back there no more
Oh no
Oh no
I’ll never go back there no moreLooking at my heartbeat
Like I’ve never seen it before
Too alive to ever sleep
And this street is keeping me warmI’m pushing up on the ceiling
I’m beating back all my Demons
And I’m never letting you back in againOh no
Oh no
I’ll never go back there no more
Oh no
Oh no
I’ll never go back there no moreI can’t take it no more
These scratches on my soul
I can’t and I’ll never let you near my heart againOh no
Oh no
I’ll never go back there no more
Oh no

I’ll never go back there no more
Oh no
Oh no
I’ll never go back there no more

PARACHUTE HEART
There’s trouble in the Friendly Skies tonight
Love can never last when you’re flying up this high
You took the leap but I’m not ready to come down
So long baby, I’ll see you someday when we’re both on the groundYeah you’re gone like the wind and it don’t even matter
I fly above it all and watch the world shatter
We had a sky dive love affair, doomed from the very start
So you can throw my love to the wind
I’ll just float back to the ground
With my Parachute HeartThere’s trouble in my lonely old balloon
I’d let you jump but maybe you jumped too soon
It’s too late for me to turn back now
So goodbye baby, I’m not ready to follow you downYeah you’re gone like the wind and it don’t even matter
I fly above it all and watch the world shatter
We had a sky dive love affair, doomed from the very start
So you can throw my love to the wind
I’ll just float back to the ground
With my Parachute HeartParachute Heart

Heart – - AhhhhYeah you’re gone like the wind and it don’t even matter
I fly above it all and watch the world shatter
We had a sky dive love affair, doomed from the very start
You can throw my love to the wind

STARS
I lit a fire with the love you left behind
It burned wild and crept up the mountainside
I followed your ashes into outer space
I can’t look out the window
I can’t look at this place
I can’t look at the
Stars
They make me wonder where you are
Stars
Up on Heaven’s Boulevard
And if I know you at all
I know you’ve gone too far
So I can’t look at the starsAll those times we looked up at the sky
Looking out so far we felt like we could fly
But now I’m all alone in the dark of night
The moon is shining
But I can’t see the light
And I can’t look at the
Stars
They make me wonder where you are
Stars
Up on Heaven’s Boulevard
And if I know you at all
I know you’ve gone too far
So I can’t look at the starsStars
Stars
They make me wonder where you are
Stars
Up on Heaven’s Boulevard
And if I know you at all
I know you’ve gone too far
So I can’t look at the stars -
TIMEKEEPER
Timekeeper, I can’t believe how long it’s been
Timekeeper, I wish I could start over again
I’m too young to be feeling this way
Yeah I’m wasted as I lie awake
There goes another dayWhoa -
Timekeeper, please won’t you slow it down tonight
Timekeeper, the days are rolling by
Timekeeper, tell me I’m gonna be alrightTimekeeper, I thought I’d have it right by now
But Timekeeper, everything’s still spinning out
I’m undone, breaking out of the cage
But before the Beast can get away
There goes another dayWhoa -
Timekeeper, please won’t you slow it down tonight
Timekeeper, the days are rolling by
Timekeeper, tell me I’m gonna be alrightSo choke the dawn and damn the daylight
Time is just an invisible line
Timekeeper, I’m hoping you hear me tonightOh -
Timekeeper, please won’t you slow it down tonight
Timekeeper, the days are rolling by
Timekeeper, tell me I’m gonna be alright -

ROULETTE
I got a new bad habit
And it’s so hard to break
Why can’t I put it down
Instead I raise the stakes
Heaven here my call
Here’s my soul to take
Cause I’m in over my head
And I can’t get awayI’m playing Roulette but the wheel don’t love me at all
I’m playing Roulette and my heart is the tumbling ball
Yeah the wheel turns me over again
I’m a helpless soul with a hopeless hand
And my heart’s going deeper in debt
That’s what I get when I play RouletteWhat happens in this town
Don’t stay here for too long
I take my winnings home
But in the morning he’s always gone
Should I run away?
Oh I wish I could change
There’s a Lion in my heart
And I know he can’t be tamedI’m playing Roulette but the wheel don’t love me at all
I’m playing Roulette and my heart is the tumbling ball
Yeah the wheel turns me over again
I’m a helpless soul with a hopeless hand
And my heart’s going deeper in debt
That’s what I get when I play RouletteI feel like I’m always running
I’m just as lost as my money
Maybe one more spin will save me
If I’m lost you know where to find meI’m playing Roulette but the wheel don’t love me at all
I’m playing Roulette and my heart is the tumbling ball
Yeah the wheel turns me over again
I’m a helpless soul with a hopeless hand
And my heart’s going deeper in debt
That’s what I get when I play Roulette
Roulette

I’m playing Roulette

KEEPSAKE
You always hated the way I live
You never wanted the things I had to give
But still there’s something that keeps you holding onLeaving me is something only you can do
I’ll never be the one to say ‘We’re through’
But if you play the game
I’m gonna play the foolYou’re holding onto me like a Keepsake
Holding onto me like a Keepsake
Why don’t you give my heart a break
And just let me go
Oh – Oh
Baby let me goYou keep my love in a little box
I tried to pick the lock, but
You keep me hiding out
Behind your closet doorTell me why you gotta treat me so unkind
You keep me out of sight and out of your mind
Come on and open me up
I can’t take it no moreYou’re holding onto me like a Keepsake
Holding onto me like a Keepsake
Why don’t you give my heart a break
And just let me go – yeah
Oh – Oh
Baby let me goWhen you try to touch my soul
Your fingertips are always cold
Am I just your souvenir?
You buried me like treasure
Then forgot you left me hereYou’re holding onto me like a Keepsake
Holding onto me like a Keepsake
Why don’t you give my heart a break
And just let me go
Holding onto me like a Keepsake
Maybe you love me but it’s too late
Why don’t you give my heart a break
And just let me go
Oh – Oh
Baby let me go
Oh – Oh
Let me go -
RUNAWAY
I hit you like a train, you feel the pain I ain’t coming back
I cut you, cut you deep cause you can’t keep up on my track
If I loved you I’d stick around, you’re on the ground cause I knocked you down
You’re falling every night, no you can’t fight
But I can hear you pray, I’ll stay just one more day
But I always run away
I’m nothing but a RunawayI hooked you with the beat, the heavy heat, gettin out of hand
And I left you, in a lonely bed the words you said made me understand
That if I loved you, I would stay, I never stray, little runaway
And I’d fall down, lonely night, I can’t fight
But maybe I should pray, Lord, give me the strength to stay
Cause I always run away
I’m nothing but a RunawayWhy can’t I just stay in one place?
Somebody gotta put me in a cage
Oh I don’t wanna be this way
I’m nothing, nothing but a Runaway
Nothing but a Runaway
Ooh I’m nothing but a Runaway
Runaway
Runaway
Runaway -
ONE HEART MISSING
My lonely heart was made for two
It beats too slowly without you
You want to know what we can be
But you won’t give your love to meOh – I’m crying your name but you won’t listen
Oh – If love is made for two – then there’s
One heart missing
One heart missingTonight the sky is burning blue
Horizon cuts right into you
You’ll be the moon, I’ll be the sea
And you can shine your light on meOh – I’m crying your name but you won’t listen
Oh – Tonight was made for two – but there’s
One heart missing
One heart missingOh – and I will follow you
No matter where you run
I’m holding all the cards
There’s only one
One heart missing
One heart missing
One heart missing
One heart missing -
THE DIVIDE
Looking out across the coast
I can’t find the Divide
Maybe the ocean is a ghost living in the horizon
And my heart beats fast
As I count the miles from the city line
No I’m not running
I’m just stealing timeAnd if I don’t go
Then how will I ever know
What’s on the other side?
When I can’t tell the wheel from the road
Or the sea from the sky
I gotta find
I gotta find
Find the DivideI drove a lonely distance ’til the road turned to fire
The night’s moving in around me
But I’m not tired
Yeah my heart beats fast
Shadows win the fight against the east
The lines are blurring now
And I can’t tell the Lion from the BeastWhoa – if I don’t go
How will I ever know
What’s on the other side?
When I can’t tell the wheel from the road
Or the sea from the sky
I gotta find
I gotta find
Find the DivideWhoa – if I don’t go
How will I ever know
What’s on the other side?
When I can’t tell the wheel from the road
Or the sea from the sky
I gotta find
I gotta find
Find the Divide
