Demon
Album • 1987
Through the morning mist I hear the jungle drum Concrete hugs against the sky Like a needle searching for the vein It feels so cold Wish I was high Life on the wire How I love to be up there Life on the wire How it leaves me running scared No more waiting something had to give And when it came a strange release I never really knew if it was in my brain Until the day I went too far Life on the wire How I love to be up there Life on the wire How it leaves me I can't stand it one more night Take this hell away I can't stand it one more night There's no other way A stage door pass for friends Amongst the garbage cans Just old soldiers calling time The smell of meths runs high Across this stinking waste Is it any place to die? Life on the wire How I love to be up there Life on the wire How it leaves me running scared I can't stand it one more night Take this hell away I can't stand it one more night There's no other way

Battles rage on city streets Two tribes face to face Sunsets high on riots shields It's a no-goers place The lines holding fast run run for cover The heat's so intense into the night Somebody said this couldn't happen Not in our time, it can't happen here The Hurricane blows streets all on fire The Empires now striking back The Hurricane moves hearts of the land The silence was too good to last A tidal wave rides the crowd Incensing the mob A sea of blue rushes in It's a cavalry charge Eyes fueled with hate stare through the darkness A cry stirs the pack sensing the kill We stood together for Queen and for Country Something went wrong We're divided in fear The Hurricane blows streets all on fire The Empires now striking back The Hurricane moves hearts of the land The silence was too good to last Bloodshot sky in the morning rain The battlefield sleeps Only kids come out to play In confused disbelief Word quickly spreads to a man from the government Promising everything money can buy But he can't understand cause he wasn't born here It takes more than words the truth runs much deeper The Hurricane blows streets all on fire The Empires now striking back The Hurricane moves hearts of the land The silence was too good to last

Breakout You know they're after us Do you know how far we are? Breakout The dog are closing in Soon we'll reach the breakers yard Head for the underground Leave all the creatures to play No-one ever goes there anymore The rats on holiday We can stay for a short while here You're on of the privileged few When it's over make up your own mind What you wanna do Now we're breaking with the past Living dangerously once more We're going across the line Breakout You know they're after us Do you know how far we are? Breakout The dog are closing in Soon we'll reach the breakers yard Don't look back There's nothing but Builders dreams in sinking sand Don't make waves for someone else It's not the time to make a stand See the lights in the distance Gleaming pillars of steal It's time to take off the new disguise There's nothing left to fear They'll be hiding till the battle dies down There's so much depending on you We dare not make a mistake at this level We all have to get through Now we're breaking with the past Living dangerously once more We're going across the line Breakout You know they're after us Do you know how far we are? Breakout The dog are closing in Soon we'll reach the breakers yard Don't look back There's nothing but Builders dreams in sinking sand Don't make waves for someone else It's not the time to make a stand

They stood together back in '86 Two old soldiers came in search of peace They shared a vodka with their memories Held hands and cried on Armistice They were friend at last It had taken seventy years There was no more hate Only hope behind their fears Here we are living in the shadow Guns can kill just like bows and arrows If all the world laid down their arms tomorrow Would there be peace? No living in the shadow? We can travel round the universe But we can't live together side by side Did we ever learn the lessons we were taught? Still on bloodstained roads, we hear the thunder roar Here we are living in the shadow Guns can kill just like bows and arrows If all the world laid down their arms tomorrow Would there be peace? No living in the shadow? Stalingrad Millions of ghosts are marching Afghanistan The marters march for glory Vietnam The GI's biggest nightmare Lebanon Religions bloody story They still display their might in Red Square Our missiles face towards the eastern block I have a dream that all old soldiers Spend their last days in a world of peace They were friends at last It has taken seventy years There was no more hate Only hope behind their fears Here we are living in the shadow Guns can kill just like bows and arrows If all the world laid down their arms tomorrow Would there be peace? No living in the shadow?

There's a shadow in the dark A Surgeon with a rusty knife There's a tiger in a cage And he's waiting to be free Oh don't go out there Someone's moving in the dark Wait until the coast is clear Before you step into the scene You have to know what is for real Oh don't go out there Standing in the shadow on the opening night Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light? Standing in the shadow, now there so much more Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime There's a cast of thousands An army waiting in the wings A ghost out on the balcony The master's holding centre stage Oh don't go out there Feel the pounding in your heart The tension of a waiting game But when the memory catches fire Even whores have dreams Oh don't go out there Standing in the shadow on the opening night Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light? Standing in the shadow, now there so much more Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime And in the still night a small boy cries Hands a tremble for his mother's arms Now there's no-one there This is the moment his time has come And through the trap door He makes his break his journey has begun Standing in the shadow on the opening night Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light? Standing in the shadow, now there so much more Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime Standing in the shadow on the opening night Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light? Standing in the shadow, now there so much more Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime

I can't believe it Was it just a dream? Or did I reach out And stand inside a world of make believe? Life moves slowly Tracks worn thin with time Millions homeless Bellies swollen till they're barely still alive Through these eyes I can see clearly now Through these eyes I can see clearly now The refugee stands on the highway The wheels of fortune turn And we all fall down There's an actor in the White House While the statesman waits with Ceasar's blade We talk of Star Wars Like some childrens game We give them wheat to live Sell the arms Just to kill again We have the know how In a perfect world We're at the crossroads And the chance we have May never come again Through these eyes I can see clearly now Through these eyes I can see clearly now
