Another Rainy Night (Without You)
Don't slam the door on your way out Don't leave without saying goodbye Another long distance night alone You leave me wanting, always leave me wanting more Last word today You're coming home to stay? Wouldn't that be nice for a while? But now my take-out food is growing cold And the candle's burned a hole in the floor And I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone I'm all alone It's just another rainy night without you Guess I'll leave the light on for you It's just another rainy night without you Listen, there's a foghorn blowing on the coast tonight Remember making love in the rain? Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound Raindrops taste like tears without the pain I'm not much without you Can't leave if I wanted to Maybe that's why you stay around But tonight I'll sit here tending the fire And pace the floor one hundred times in an hour And check the voicemail for a message you've called ("You have no new messages in your mailbox") I'm all alone It's just another rainy night without you Waiting by the phone, alone It's just another rainy night without you Guess I'll leave a light on for you I know I've said it before Hate the sound of the closing door And your footsteps walking away But now my take-out food is growing cold And the candle's burned a hole in the floor And I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone I'm all alone It's just another rainy night without you Waiting by the phone, alone And it's another rainy night without you Guess I'll leave a light on for you It's just another rainy night (It's just another rainy night) (It's just another rainy night) Without you

Last time in Paris was a little strange Had time to myself Headed out to see the city sights Met a little thing on the Champs-Elysees Stole my heart away You know I never could pronounce her name She didn't mind at all We were sitting there Seemed like hours Pass the day away Till they said we had to pay Or do the dishes or something I don't know Living at the plaza Athenee Got to rest for the show Man at the front desk knew my face Said he had a room with a view for two But he forgot to say Renovation next door starts today Can't find another room All day long they banged 14 hours Show time on my mind And wringing somebody's throat Last time in Paris Last time in Paris Last time in Paris was strange Last time in Paris Last time in Paris Last time in Paris was strange Slept over, missed the bus to the show Had to find my own ride Took the metro out to Avignon Man at the backstage, didn't know my name Said "Hey, I'm with the band, man!" "Yeah, you and everyone today" What is this guy new? 15 minutes fly Someone sees me Inside let me go Hey Geoff, we need photos Before the show! Last time in Paris Last time in Paris Last time in Paris was strange Last time in Paris Last time in Paris Last time in Paris was strange Last time in Paris Last time in Paris Last time in Paris was strange Last time in Paris Last time in Paris Last time in Paris was strange

"Kill her, that's all you have to do" "Kill Mary?" "She's a risk And get the priest, as well" 10 PM, I feel the rain coming down My face feels wet, my mind a storm Flashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pour Moving silent through the streets, they're mine, they're mine Midnight, she sings praises in the hall To saintly faces, hallowed be their names she can't recall Sister Mary, virgin Mary, silent with her sin "What are you doing out in the rain?" She feels me, I can taste her breath when she speaks "I've been waiting for you, come in" Mary, Mary, just a whore for the underground They made you pay in guilt for your salvation Thought you had them fooled? Now they've sent me for you You know too much for your own good Don't offer me faith, I've got all I need here My faith is growing, growing tight against the seam What we need is trust to keep us both alive Help us make it through the night I've no more want of any faith Binds my arm and feed my mind The only peace I've ever known I'll close my eyes, and you shoot No Mary, listen, you've got to pull your strength From my lips, I pray I feed you well Your precious cross is gone, it made me wait so long For what you gave to everyone The priest is cold and dead, on his knees he fell From my barrel of death, he turned The holy water red, as he died he said, "Thank you" I just watched him bleed I feel the flow, the blessed stain Sweating hands like fire and flames Burn my thighs, spread in sacrificial rite The hallowed altar burns my flesh once more tonight Mary, my lady of pain, always alone Blind you search for the truth I see myself in you, parallel lives Winding at light-speed through time No time to rest yet, we've got to stop his game Before madness has the final laugh Too much bloodshed, we're being used and fed Like rats in experiments No final outcome here, only pain and fear It's followed us both all our lives There's one thing left to see Will it be him or me? There's one more candle left to light Don't turn your back on my disgrace The blood of Christ can't heal my wounds, so deep The sins of man are all I taste Can't spit the memory from my mind I can't cry anymore Mary, my lady of pain, always alone Blind you search for the truth I see myself in you, parallel lives Winding at light-speed through time You're mine

Dr. David, telephone please, Dr. David Dr. Blair, Dr. Blair, Dr. J. Hamilton, Dr. J Hamilton All alone now except for the memories Of what we had, and what we knew Every time I try to leave it behind me I see something that reminds me of you Every night the dreams return to haunt me Your rosary wrapped around your throat I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep I see your face looking back at me Looking back at me And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare Is this all that's left of my life before me? Straight jacket memories, sedative highs No happy ending like they've always promised There's got to be something left for me And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare Lies behind my stare How many times must I live this tragedy? How many more lies will they tell me? All I want is the same as everyone Why am I here, and for how long? And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare Revolution I remember now
