LYRICS OF THE
NEVERLAND
ALBUM
"Raising Cain"
(Album: Nerverland)
I'm sick and tired of this masquerade
I'm bored to death by the games we play
for too long now it's been a charade
don't wonna stay around to piss on your parade
gotta get the hell outaa here
too late now to wrap me up in cahins
too late now to bite my tongue, stop me
raising Cain
the chip on your shoulder is a monkey on my back
you steal the glory, I'll take the flak
can't stand your accusations, your recriminations
it's time to jump this train cos we've crashed the station
don't wanna take this ride no more
too late now to wrap me up in cahins
too late now to bite my tongue, stop me
raising Cain
the gift of masque was like pearls before swine
too late now to wrap me up in cahins
too late now to bite my tongue, stop me
raising Cain

"Sway"
(Album: Neverland)
I'm not the animal I used to be but you
shouldn't speak ill of the dead
I've never been just one of the boys,
I've never hidden guns under the bed
I feel like Jesus, I feel betrayed,
and you know damn well that I feel crucified
assassination, shot full of vitriol,
there's so many more heroic ways to die
I close my eyes and I start to drift away
I close my eyes and I start to sway
lie back and think of England
I'll just fake it some more
a carrion feast for the ravens and the crows
I know my price and I'll be your whore and
I don't care if the whole damn world knows
I feel so jaded, so tired and so worn,
I feel like I've got nothing left to say
I'll be a martyr, a brave little soldier cos
there's so many demons left to purge and slay
I close my eyes and I start to drift away
I close my eyes and I start to sway
trapped in the eye of a hurricane
taking a ride on a runaway train
behind the wheel of a crashing car
caught in the trail of a falling star
can't turn my back without a blade digging deap
it's more than enough to make a grown man cry
the god in me is the, the devil in you,
there's so many more beautiful ways to die
I close my eyes and I start to drift away
I close my eyes and I start to sway
I close my eyes and I start to drift away away
close my eyes

"Lose myself in you"
(Album: Neverland)
When you touch me you save my life
I don't need redemption I don't want Christ
all I'ev ever needed, all I've ever wanted is you
so hey baby Rae you can elevate me
you can raise me up, you can make me see
the wonder and the innocense in everything little thing you do
I wonna lose myself, lose myself in you
I wonna lose myself, lose myself in you, lose myself in you
when I look into your baby blue eyes
I can see the ocean, I can see the skies
I can see the sun and the moon and the history of the world
you are the beacon, the guiding light
you are the hand that leads me through the night
you are the heavens most beautiful and brightest star
I wanna lose myself, lose myself in you
I wanna lose myself, lose myself in you, lose myself in you
I never knew I could feel like this
I never knew I could feel this way again
I never knew it could be like this
I never knew I could feel this way again
so believe in me cos I believe in you
Yes, I believe in you
(I wonna) lose myself, lose myself in you
(I wonna) lose myself, lose myself in you
(I wonna) lose myself, lose myself in you
(I wonna) lose myself, lose myself in you.

"Swoon"
(Album: Neverland)
I, more than adore you
Naked, standing before you
Hold out our arms
And open yourself wide
Hold me dear
Bury me deep inside
Feel, fell the glow
Come, Coming slow
You make me Swoon
I, Wanna turn you on
Wanna take you high
Sleight of hand
slip of the tongue
Sweet, how sweet you taste
And the heat
the heat you make
You make me Swoon
You make me Swoon
I, more than adore you
Naked, standing before you
Hush, baby hush
Rush, here comes the rush
You make me Swoon
You make me Swoon
You make me Swoon
You make me Swoon

"Afterglow"
(Album: Neverland)
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
let me release you from your tangled skein
burn down your temples and your holy shrines
shift through the ashes for the truth that shines
no more weeping or wringing of hands
come with me to the promised land
close your eyes and we'll go down slow
we're gonna drown in the afterglow
we're going down, we gonna drown
we're going down, we're going down, we gonna drown
in the afterglow
afterglow
afterglow
afterglow
in the aftermath of Babylon
all the pimps and whores have gone
all the guilt has been laid to rest
just remember mother never knew best
tear down the walls raze them to the ground
your ivory tower we'll burn it down
and in the eveing when the sun gets low
we're gonna drown in the afterglow.
we're going down, we gonna drown
we're going down, we gonna drown
we're going down, we gonna drown
we're going down, we're going down, we gonna drown
in the afterglow
afterglow
afterglow
afterglow
we're gonna drown in the afterglow
afterglow
afterglow
afterglow .....

"Stars don't shine without you"
(Album: Neverland)
I'll cry myself to sleep cos you're not here by my side
I'll cry cos you're not with me, with me tonight
I'll cry myself a river and drown in a torrent of tears
I'll cry cose the stars have thrown down all their spears
the stars don't shine without you
and it makes me, makes me sad and blue
the stars don't shine wothout you
and there's nothing, no nothing I can do
I'll cry myself an ocean and I'm stranded washed upon the shore
I'll cry cos the stars don't shine for me no more.

"Celebration"
(Album: Neverland)
Let's dance around in circles
let's dance around the maypole
let's welcome the season
let's celebrate Mama Nature's bountiful soul
let's feast at her banquet
give thanks and let the good times roll
come on and join hands
come on with me and be my May Queen
come on hang your drum
come on and shake your ass and tambourine
rejoice and let's get merry
come on and let's dig this scene
let's all come together on this celebration day
let's all come together on this celebration day
let's all come together on this celebration day
let's all come together on this celebration day

"Cry like a baby"
(Album: Neverland)
Well I can't take it, fake it anymore
everyone I know is a pimp or a whore
as ugly as sin and as sleazy as hell
everyone I know has got trash to sell
from the mouth's of babes come the words of the wise
please don't ask me to apologise
load up your gun to play russian roulette
I'll take another drag on your funny cigarette
and I'll cry like a baby,
I'll cry like a baby, like a baby
rally the troops, the battle lines are drawn
the darkes hour comes before the dawn
don't you talk to me of self-respect
cos all I hear is cause and effect
I've got no bridges left to burn
got no place left to turn
I'm a shooting start ready to crash
don't want your credit I'll just take you cash
and I'll cry like a baby
I'll cry like a baby,
I'll cry, cry like a baby,
I'll cry, cry like a baby,
like a baby, a baby
crawl back under your stone, hide your face in shame
look at yourself cos I'm too easy to blame
the smell of burning martyr, stench of decay
I'll trample over you if you get in my way
and I'll cry like a baby
I'll cry like a baby,
I'll cry like a baby,
I'll cry like a baby,
I'll cry like a baby,
I'll cry like a baby, baby
I'll cry like a baby, baby
I'll cry, cry like a baby, like a baby

"Heaven knows"
(Album: Neverland)
Good lord above I'm falling in love
I'm falling like a heavy black rain
and I know how it feels to be head over heals
I'm falling like an avalanche again
as beautiful as you are
as elusive as the stars
as raging and as wild as the sea
aas eternal as the moon
as mysterious as the womb
you mean everything to me
and heaven knows I'm so wrapped up in you
so tangled up in everything you do
and heaven knows it always seems to be
more like a curse than a blessing, a blessing for me
well I have to profess I'm so absessed
and it's taking over everything I do
and forever more like waves upon the shore
I'm drowning at the very thought of you
as black as the blues
as tender as a bruise
you give me everything I ask you for
as delicious as the pain that comes slowly and again
I take everything your give and still want more
and heaven knows I'm so wrapped up in you
so tangled up in everything you do
and heaven knows it always seems to be
more like a curse than a blessing, a blessing for me
as delicate as the wings
of the butterfly summer brings
as sweet as the honey of the bee
as miserable as regret
a betrayal I can't forget
you are everything to me
and heaven knows I'm so wrapped up in you
so tangled up in everything you do
and heaven knows it always seems to be
more like a curse than a blessing, a blessing for me.

"Swim with the dolpings"
(Album: Neverland)
I wanna fly with Peter Pan
I wanna go with Alice to Wonderland
I wanna pitch ball to Shoeless Joe
I wanna roam the plains with the buffalo
oh-oh, oh-oh, and before I die
oh-oh, oh-oh, and before I die all I wanna do
is swim with the dolphins

I wanna fly with Peter Pan
I wanna go with Alice to Wonderland
I wanna walk the Yellow Brick Road
I wanna buy back the dreams I sold
oh-oh, oh-oh, and before I die
oh-oh, oh-oh, and before I die all I wanna do
is swim with the dolphins
is swim with the dolphins
is swim with the dolphins
is swim with the dolphins

"Neverland"
(Album: Neverland)
Sometimes I feel so old I wanna die
feel like I'm sick at heart

feel like I'm falling apart
angel come and rescue me
