Well as a young man I can recall, hearing Ragan talk the possibilities of a war. Staring at the TV trying to make believe. My father understands, my mother pours the tea. It's all we do cause all that we see, television brain washing the lives that we lead. It's like we do more than we think. We've got to change the channel cause the wave's on the brink. It's all the same, it'll never change. See its got me to wonder. It's all the same but the name have changed. Better clear the black. I'm 21 now and working the job. May after taxes take home make me feel like I've been robbed. Reach for the channel for a chance to escape. Iraq invades kuwait, another series of gang rapes. It's all the same, it'll never change, and it's got me to wonder. Who's on the take, and who's getting paid? Gonna' dig my grave. I hear it echo through my mind... R A D I O. It's like the memory of a time gone by. Like my radio... R A D I O. And I hear it echo through my mind... R A D I O. Seems like the memory of a time gone by. Like my radio.

Here's the problem with the whole situation. Stereotypical rock-n-roll population. Nobody listening to the music for its passion. They're tuned to videos watching all the fads and fashions. If you miss that special feeling just look in my eyes. If you need to free from visual and to satisfy. Listen to this! Can you hear what I'm feeling? Listen to... to this! I used to think I had the music scene all scooped out. Hangin' at the scrap bar with my blackened hair all grown out. Everyone bidding for the million dollar contract. Billion dollar babies signing up with their new fuck act. If you miss that special feeling, got to leave them behind. If you want that brand new edge that's gonna' blow your mind. Listen to this! Can you hear what I'm feeling? Listen to... to this! Listen to the words you're hearing. Does it evoke a long lost feeling? Listen to your heart and don't you know... you're listening. Listen to this! Can you hear what I'm feeling? Listen to... to this! Listen to this! Listen to the words you're hearing. Does it evoke a long lost feeling? Listen to your heart and don't you know... you're listening.

Mother, say a prayer for me. A message of hope to the faith you believe in. Father... and the powers that be. I know I might have let you down. Every time I look into your eyes, I see the pain and anger. Every time you hear the words I say, it seems they never matter. I'd always hoped you'd find a way to cure yourself and reason. But I can't stay and waste forever. I hope you understand. Mother, say a prayer for me. A message of hope to the faith you believe in. Father... and the powers that be. I know I might have let you down. Say a prayer for me. Every time I need to channel the anger, I spit words instead of knives. All of the time you tried to persecute me, I'd hold my breath and tell you. Lies of fortune, lies of fame. What matter, lies are all the same. It's time I've got to pave my own way out from a shattered man. Mother, say a prayer for me. A message of hope to the faith you believe in. Father... and the powers that be. I know I might have let you down. Say a prayer for me. Miracle of miracles, save me I've fallen down. Miracle of miracles, save me I'm calling you. Can't sleep... I can't think... I can't move, my heart is weak. I can't live... I can't love... I draw strength from up above. Oh... Mother... say a prayer for me. A message of hope to the faith you believe in. Father... and the powers that be. I know I might have let you down. Mother... say a prayer for me. A message of hope to the faith you believe in. Father... and the powers that be. I know I might have let you down.

There was a time when an empty page and an empty plate were one. And there was a time, I thought 'bout giving in. But I swore unto my dying day, you know I could never hide. The feelings deep inside, I want it all... I want it all. It seems like my life gets worn away by wind and rain and storm. Seems like my life, it don't mean much on its own. It needs love and care and guidance just to break out from the pack. There can be no looking back if you want it all... And I want it! Words are there to hide what you're really feeling. Words make worlds collide, don't believe them. Words are only words, are only words... only words. And that's all! I lived a life of sin never gave a care for what I did. I use to think that trust was a payment and a must, I know about giving in. So let me fly like a bird up in the sky. Let me fly, for a while, I try to speak, wind blows me my words away! And I said that words are there to hide what you're really feeling, don't believe me? Words are there to hide what you're really feeling. Words make worlds collide. Words make worlds collide. Words are... only words are... only words.

But if you can't dance to it, what'cha you 'gonna do? You can't dance to it. Dance to it!

Hey! I got something to say to you. Oh I know but... I can't believe. Oh I know... But since it's something that I've never seen. Oh, oh, oh... I'm having trouble looking up above. No, no, no... it's not the sun, it's what I'm guilty of. I'm so afraid that danger will appear as some kind stranger who can't stop his stare. Well if I read deep, into my beliefs, stop right here! Is my life a mystery or something more than I can see? Searching high and low below the line. Am I just an element in this worldwide accident? How can I see who am I? I've always thought that danger was a way to cure my anger, and to ease my pain. Never will accept defeat. Never back down, no retreat, far from real. If you can hear me, if you can see me, give me the sign and you... Answer my prayer. If you can hear me, if you can feel me, I'll give you the sign, so please... Answer my prayer. All of my life, I... I've been afraid. If I did wrong, I'de surely pay. Who's to say what's right and what is wrong? And if I steal, put me away. And if I've killed, put me to death. Am I still forgiven for my sins? I've always thought of heaven as a myth where all the legends smile eternal smiles. If I breathe deep, I'll disturb this sleep. If you can hear me, if you can see me, give me the sign... Answer my prayer. If you can hear me, if you can feel me, I'll give you the sign, so please... Answer my prayer. If you can hear me, if you can see me, give me the sign and just... Answer my prayer. Well I'm on my knees and I'm begging please. Give me the sign. Answer... my prayer. Well, I'm flying higher than I've ever known. And I'm flying higher than I can ever go. Let me go! Is there a time for a... burned out mind who can't seem to find, there might be something better? Just one chance is all that I'm praying for. There has got to be some good left within me. Every time that I think about what's mine, my whole world caves in. Leaves me with nothin'... no, no, no! Answer my... If you can hear me, if you can see me, give me the sign... Answer my prayer. And if you can save me, if you embrace me, give me the sign... Answer my prayer. And if you can hear me, if you can see me, give me the sign. I'm on my knees and I'm begging please, give me the sign... Answer my prayer.

It's all said and done on the other side. The rain is scarce, the sun is black, and my throat is dry. It all moves so very fast, almost like each moment is my last. Unseen by the young and old, running on... a renegade man. Catch my breath, a delirious rage, exiled man from a worn out page. Did my time in life so long ago. I don't know whether it's heaven or hell, betting my life on the wishing well. I have an angel on my side. Doing my time the best I can, knowing I'm a renegade... Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, go where the wind blows. Whoa-oh, a renegade man, destination unknown. Every time there's a blue sky high, get the same old feeling inside. Life ahead gonna' make me reach the mile. But that was oh so long ago, Traded in my dreams I've been bought and sold. But I have an ace still in my hand. Doing my time the best I can, knowing I'm a renegade... Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, go where the wind blows. Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, destination unknown. Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, go where the wind blows. Whoa-oh, a renegade man, destination unknown. Spent my life, my dreams, my money. Wars I've lost and won are many. Looking for a fast getaway, gonna' take it, oh... Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, go where the wind blows. Whoa-oh, a renegade man, destination unknown. Doing my time the best I can, knowing I'm a renegade... Whoa-oh, I'm a renegade man, go where the wind blows. Whoa-oh, a renegade man, destination... destination unknown. A renegade... renegade... man.

All those memories long ago. How did I get through it all? Yesterday I thought I had your love. Met you on an April night. With one kiss I knew it was right. On that day I thought I had your love. Said I never knew how long a love could take. And I never kew how fast my heart would break. Still all I need is to wrap my arms around you. But it's too late, I'm too young for love. I could go on thinking about my time with you. Said, I could go on thinking 'bout the crazy things that we do. Like meeting on that rainy night. The "7" train, yeah, to Jackson Heights. On that day I thought I had your love. It's too late, I'm too young. Then why do I feel this love so strong? It's too late and too young for your love. It's too late, I'm too young. But deep in my heart I know you feel love? It's too late and all that you say is that I'm too young. Don't you really think it's time? I don't know, never did. Did you really change your mind? You loved me, i know you did. And now is the time we should be together. But it's too late. I'm too young for your love. But it's too late, I'm too young. Then why do I feel this love so strong? It's too late and all that you say is that I'm too young. It's too late, I'm too young. But deep in my heart I know you feel love. It's too late and I'm too young for... love.

got a backbone, you want to feel it? Starts up here and runs way down. I got a hand full of lies, don't make me say them. Don't move any closer, just a little closer. We've got our own defenses, watch those skeletons climb those fences. I'm so bad... I'm so bad. I can't help but run from my love, just when it has begun. I got a disposition can you sense it? Ha... I got an attitude a mile long. At times a little stiff so I can kill it, and if I don't turn back, the dead don't walk. These four walls I've built around me got a mind of their own and they... talk to me. I'm so bad... I'm so bad. I can't help but run from my love, just when it has begun. I'm so bad... I'm so bad. I can't help but run from my love, just when it has... I'm so bad...

Cold is the blood in need of warning. Where will it lead me tonight? A brief affair, the need for power. A vicious urge to satisfy. No time to stop stare. No time to warn, beware. No time for love, just fear and silence. No time to scream, just pray. You'll leave alive, obey. And I will grant you this small flavor... life. Every time and every place, I walk the streets for... my love. Gleaming cat's eyes, poised to strike now. In just seconds thy will be done. Every time I search your face, I start to see my own horizons. Thoughts that fill my mind are void. I you be kind, I will be kinder. Stay with me, pray with me, oh, as the subject starts recover. Stay with me, pray with me tonight... mercy. Seconds have past that feel like hours. When will you leave or will you die? Reject the love I give or devour. Inflicted pain will be just enough. No time to see my face. A form so filled with pain. No time to capture thoughts, just silence. No time to scream, just pray. You'll leave alive, obey. And I will grant you this small flavor. Stay with me, pray with me, oh, as the subject starts recover. Stay with me I'm free, tell me... you're beautiful. I hold your lifeline in my hands. Shhhh... Don't talk... Let my love embrace you. Shhhh... Don't move. Let my love surround you. Please... Love me... Let my love embrace you. Please... show me you love me. I love you. I've tried so many times, yet failed at love. I guess I'm meant to be alone. I can't complain, I've still my memories and now you're saying that it's over. That's not the way I want it. That's not the way it should be... No! I want to love you forever. Do you love me? Tell me why.
