  Heavy Water Written by James Young Lead Vocals by James Young Listen on YouTube Sittin' here on terra firma It's the kind of place we were meant to be Out here kinda lost in space now Pondering life's mysteries All of mankind worship at the altar Of old mythology But the genie's out of the bottle Collision course with eternity Young children playing in the chat room With the freaks and the satellites Upload the nearset planet Burnin' out at the speed of light Better living for the masses With the new technology But some fool went and pushed the button He didn't get an apology Feeling good is a new sensation Panacea for the Prozac nation Heavy, heavy water Won't wash away the sins of the father Sacred cow sizzling in the fire As we all go up in flames With millions of true believers And their unfamiliar names On the road to good intentions Blown to hell by our own inventions Heavy, heavy water Won't wash away the sins of the father Unholy, holy water Le...

Just Fell In Written by Tommy Shaw, James Young Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube noitacidem rouy rof emit s'ti, seidal yakO. It was 8:15 When I pulled into the 7 Eleven I bought a 12 ounce coffee And I threw down a 357 I guess I was thinking I would never be found Next thing I knew I was spread-eagle Down on the ground I just fell into a manic depression And I really want to spend it with you I got pretty paper shoes And I'm weaving you a basket for Christmas Three hots and a cot And a cellmate who keeps calling me missus But I like to think I'm the king of the couch And I like my shrink 'Cause he always brings me smoke in a pouch I just fell into a manic depression And I really want to spend it with you We don't have any inhibitions We're not consumed by ambition We've got no mission control They say Dr. Freud might call me an anal retentive But my PO says I'm delinquent and I got no incentive Rehab is a thing of the past I step into the cab ...

Goodbye to Roseland Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung There was a time When we were children Blue skies would shine And all was forgiven And there were heroes to guide us And we had family beside us And there were dreams to believe in Each and every day And I was your friend Father and brother And you were my wife Mistress and mother And through the good times and bad times We shared the love of a lifetime Oh what a shame and a damn crime For it all to end So goodbye to Roseland How I wish I could stay To live in the memory Of your sweet sweet day But every road that we travel, has an end And so the time now has come to say Farewell old friend Well goodbye to Roseland How I want you to know Just how much I miss you So I got to let go But all the love that you gave me will remain And every tear that I've cried has not been shed in vain

Brave New World Reprise Written by Tommy Shaw, James Young Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube No fear No pain Never any need to worry again More new cures No more war We're better off now than we were before And the sun will always shine You never shed a tear again In the brave new world You never shed a tear again In the brave new world Here in the brave new world's embrace I watch the parade begin How will I know if there's a place For me in the brave new world Heavy, heavy water Won't wash away the sins of the father Who's that walking out the door Who can't take it any more Who's walking that path will fall Forever (Heavy) You tell me who's number one (Heavy water) Who's not here who's having fun (Won't wash away the sins of the father) Who's that knocking on the door Who's not taking any more Who's been down that road before Without you

Ocean Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw I'm running from the future And I'm looking at the past I keep coming on to detours And I'm overheated, out of gas There's nothing left to keep me here I've tossed it to the wind And I'm too jacked up for sleeping now Where the hell would I begin Take me back to your ocean Let the waves of mercy wash right over me All my dreams and emotions Go flooding like a river to your sea My head is full of eloquence And reasons not to be The weight of this intelligence is like a stone That's crushing me I let it roll right over me I'm down here in the dirt I knew it was not meant to be And now I'm back here from the hurt Take me down to your ocean Let the waves of mercy wash right over me All my love and devotion Go roaring like a river to your sea I'm washing the blues away tonight Wearing them down And nothing that you can say about the world Can change my mind Floating in your sea Floating in your sea

Stop Knockin' Written by Tommy Shaw, Gerry Goffin, Barry Golfberg Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Busted and broke And I'm too old to toke I'd pay somebody money If they told me a joke Don't let my dreams Go up in smoke Don't want to stare At the man who wears a cloak 'Cause I'm on the inside Watching as the world goes by And I'm trying to make it If you'd only let me try Every time I'm standing You make me fall Every time I'm running You make me crawl Every time you push me You make me stall You know you've got to stop Knocking my heart against the wall I always gotta stare Right in your eyes Lookin' for the truth But you keep on telling me lies It's too late to get crazy Too late for alibis You look me through the reasons Until I got wise I never leave you Just keep comin' back for more Why must you keep me With my feet dragging on the floor Every time I'm standing You make me fall Every time I'm running You make me crawl ...
