Electronic Ecstasy
04:50

Going from a club, out to a disco
Paris, London, San Francisco
Looking for fun, out on the town
People getting up, people getting down
Night clubbing, move to the beat
Travels from the head on down to the feet
The night ahead, waiting to be found
A new adventure, fall into the sound
Chorus:
Electronic Ecstasy
It's here for you, it's here for me
Electronic Ecstasy
The beat will set you free
Electronic a new way to move
Music in the metro get into the groove
Dancing in the underground move up to the street
Following the neon to another beat
Going from a club, out to a disco
Paris, London, San Francisco
Looking for fun, out on the town
People getting up, people getting down

Always (Alone)
04:51
|
|||
|
Always on the move, from jobs to towns to dreams
When one doesn’t work out, there’s always more it seems
The bodies on the barstools, the bodies in the bed
They always crossed the line, left you in the red
The choices in your life, you placed in other hands
There will always be more, like endless grains of sand
Things never seem to work out, though intentions are good
And you wonder why things don’t end like they should
Chorus:
You’ve tried most everyone’s life except for your own
You’ve been and done most everyone, but still end up alone
The locations differ the names and faces change
Priorities and life goals in constant rearrange
Running through this world, from deserts to the sea
The only place you’ve never been, is reality
Chorus:
You’ve tried most everyone’s life except for your own
You’ve been and done most everyone, but still end up alone

Anywhere (But Here)
04:31
|
|||
|
The night alone, by the fire. . and my thoughts are on you
Dreams and goals hopes and desires, another night to get through
Always expecting way too much, wanting to hold you to feel your touch
And knowing you’re anywhere but here tonight
Pain and loneliness are never exempt, familiarity breeds contempt
But indifference hasn’t killed the fires yet
I’m holding on when nothing is there, give anything just to make you care
All the while knowing you could never feel the same
Chorus:
The waves crash in from the sea, too much space between you and me
There’s no way to make anybody care, and still knowing you are anywhere. . but here
A change of plan, random chance
Walking down the street I catch a glance
Of you and him moving into another life
Try to recall, I want to forget
All the memories singed with regret
And finally knowing you never felt the same
Chorus:
The waves crash in from the sea, too much space between you and me
There’s no way to make anybody care, and still knowing you are anywhere. . but here

Celebrate
05:26
|
|||
|
Sometime things come into view
And then quickly fade into the past
Some things are only for a moment
while other things are meant to last
The road ahead, it stretches out forever
sometimes it's not clear what to do
But once we met, it was me and you forever
I knew that we would make it through
Chorus:
A time to Celebrate
A time to dance and play
A moment, out of time,
Your own special day
In a world full of hollow promise
The real things don't always show
When you find the one that you were meant to
It doesn't take long to know
The road ahead, it stretches out forever
It's easy to know what to do
Once we met, it was me and you forever
I know that we will make it through
Chorus:
A time to Celebrate
A time to dance and play
A moment, out of time,
Your own special day

2 Whom
04:16

|
I wish I could let you know, know how I feel
But words on paper or in the air they just don’t seem real
I’ve felt this way for far too long, and I think you already knew
I thought you were right for me and you think I’m wrong for you
It started so slowly feelings took root and grew
Until I knew I never wanted to be with anyone except for you
I’ve played the scenes through my head thousands of times before
And I know with you by my side life would mean so much more
Chorus:
This is the first time I’ve felt this way
So many words and no way to say
how I feel… to whom it may concern
I’m waiting for a change of circumstance (so alone)
Wishing for a harder view and a heart of stone
But there’s something I wish someone somewhere could explain
How loving someone with all your heart can cause so much pain
Chorus:
This is the first time I’ve felt this way
So many words and no way to say
how I feel… to whom it may concern

Endings (Rock RMX)
04:04
|
|||
|
Going out, the night is alive, but it’s incomplete without you
I’m wondering who you’re out with tonight, I’m wondering if it’s somebody new
Mismatched emotions, the needs that never were the same
The feelings that I thought were love, perhaps they had a different name?
Nothing gained in questioning, but I still keep on wondering why?
The only option that’s really left is letting go and saying goodbye
I had no idea, that the emptiness could last for so long
I had no idea, that the ties that bind could be so strong
Chorus:
When I think of you with him, I keep thinking that it should be me
Maybe endings end, the way they’re meant to be. . .
After too much waiting, after so much time has gone by
Before ideals and hope give out, and certain feelings die
After too much waiting this is where the story ends
Not really lovers after all, not really friends
Chorus:
When I think of you with him, I keep thinking that it should be me
Maybe endings end, the way they’re meant to be. . .

Dreams (or Memories?)
04:20
|
|||
|
Through the mist of dreams on windswept moonlit nights
Images emerge, come into sight
I glimpse a face, and then it fades from view
A face from the past a face that I once knew
Something real or was it in my mind?
So close yet so far away only to find
As dawn approaches the mist it slowly fades
What had seemed so real or was it a charade?
Chorus:
Dreams or Memories? Memories of dreams
Remembrance is seldom what it seems
Dreams or Memories? Memories of dreams
Remembrance is seldom what it seems
Ghosts that live inside my haunted head
Not of the living, but not the dead
Chance reminders showing they are here
Lest I forget, that they’re always near
Ghosts of memories of who we used to be
Ghosts resurrected in grief and misery
Now you’re gone, were you ever really here?
Always unspoken intentions never clear
Chorus:
Dreams or Memories? Memories of dreams
Remembrance is seldom what it seems
Dreams or Memories? Memories of dreams
Remembrance is seldom what it seems

Watching You
05:51
|
|||
|
Acquiring satellites, looking from the sky
For deeper meaning, the reasons why
A blip on the radar, phantoms in the night
Some things are hidden, hiding in plain sight
Looking for answers only finding questions
Secret rumors and indiscreet suggestions
Stories hidden and tales told
The price of silence, bought and sold
Chorus:
We - are - watching - you
We - know - everything - that - you -do
Scouring the data looking for a trace
Of the evidence that puts you at the place
The scene of the crime, crimes of opportunity
No free pass, no immunity
Chorus:
We - are - watching - you
We - know - everything - that - you -do
