SWITCH

I've got passion

You want money

I've got things to say

But you don't want to be

Tied to anyone who questions why

I've got sugar

You want honey

I've got things to show

But you don't want to see

Anything to open up your eyes

I don't know if I'm right or wrong

But the answer will come before too long

And maybe I'm singing the same old song

But I always sing it loud and strong

Switch it on

Make a start

Don't give up

Listen to your heart

Switch

I've got fashion

You've got theory

You think I'm a fool

Don't necessarily

Search for everything that I may find

I want diamonds

You pay dearly

I don't think you care

About my vanity

This is one thing you cannot deny

CHORUS

You don't know me

You don't own me

CANDY HEARTS

Let's take a look in the candy shop

Chocolates and lemon drops

All in a row

Find a penny

Make a wish

For peppermints or pixie sticks

In all the colours of the rainbow

But you choose

All I want is you

So you choose

'Cause all I want is you

Let's take a walk through the candy shop

Taffy twists and lollipops

I can't say no

Find a penny

Make a wish

For jelly beans or licorice

And the sun shines through the window

CHORUS

Let's buy some candy from the candy shop

Wrap it up in a pretty box

And then we'll go

Find a penny

Make a wish

For simple things and happiness

The moment's perfect and it shows

CHORUS

PAWN

Today

Is the day

I walk

I walk away

No sun

No shade

Untouched

And unafraid

The words

Words I say

Unheard

But it doesn't matter anyway

I sit

I stand

I fall

I land

Yesterday

Was the day

I ran

I ran away

I'm here

I'm gone

I'm the king

And the pawn

SO MANY WAYS

One goes to the ocean

Two go to the hills

There's snow up on the mountain

And we all know "Winter Kills"

Three go to the river

Four into the plains

Fields of green and purple

Dancing in the summer rain

There's so many ways

And so many days

So many ways to go

Or maybe we stay

One goes to the village

Two across the land

Dry winds blowing in the desert

Twist the dunes of sand

Three go to the forest

Four into the air

Men with dreams have made machines

That can even take you there

CHORUS

GREY DAY

Sitting here alone

Watch the people walking by

Faces grey as stone

And the colour of the sky

I don't know what they can be thinking

I don't even wonder why

I see more with eyes unblinking

I see more than meets the eye

Standing there once more

Listening to them again

Words are such a bore

Babbling like foreign men

I don't want to know what they're saying

Over and over again

Chanting as if they were praying

Who, what, where and why and when

It's a grey day

Standing at the door

Watch the people running by

Words are such a bore

And the colour of the sky

I don't even know what they're saying

I don't even wonder why

Chanting as if they were praying

I see more than meets the eye

It's a grey day

REPEAT X4

TEACH ME MACHINE

If I see (I show)

If I ask (I know)

If I hear (I speak)

If I hide (I seek)

Teach me machine

I want to know

Take me, relay me

All over the world

The scene on screen

Colours aglow

Teach me, my machine

Show me the world

If I turn (I go)

If I swim (I flow)

If I write (I read)

If I search (I lead)

CHORUS

MOTH TO FLAME

We had some time together

We loved each other from the start

But as the years went by

It all began to fall apart

We gave it all we could

We gave it more than we could bear

And now my heart is empty

Of the love that once was there

So tell me how

It came about

I don't love you

And you don't love me

It can't go on

If the love is gone

I don't love you

And you don't love me

Though the love we shared was real

It burned too brightly to sustain

And like a silver moth we flew

Into that mesmerizing flame

We gave it all we could

We gave it more than it could bear

And now my heart is empty

Of the pain that once was there

CHORUS

So let me know

The way to go

I don't love you

And you don't love me

There's no telling who

Was the bigger fool

I don't love you

And you don't love me

RESTORATION

There's always someone needing something

There's always someone needs a home

Too many people live in this city

Too many people live alone

Well, there's got to be a place

To see a smiling face

But we know

We know

We all live in a world of our own creation

We all live in a time of our own design

Is it too late for a restoration?

Or is it time to say goodbye?

Nobody ever wants to be lonely

Nobody wants the pain to show

Some people never have to go hungry

'Cause they reap the grain that others sow

Well, there's got to be a way

To keep the world at bay

But we know

We know

CHORUS AND REPEAT

WITH YOU

The sun descends on another day

Blue horizon just fades away

And I'm alone with you

Yellow moon in a purple sky

Constellations drifting by

And I'm warm with you

Raindrops glisten on the window pane

Flashing orange of a candle flame

And I'm here with you

Silver planet goes far and wide

But all I need is at my side

When I'm safe and warm with you

With you

I wrote a song today

It's the only way for me to say

This is all that I have

All that I am

So take it with you

The words that I've said

The song in my head

Just take it with you

This is all I can see

All I can be

So take it with you

This is all I can give

As long as I live

Just take it with you

With you

REPEAT REFRAIN

YELLOW AND BLUE MAKE GREEN

(Instrumental)
