Letra
I used to see you on every T.V. Your smiling face looked back at me. I used to see you on every T.V. Your smiling face looked back at me. Then they caught you with the girl next door, People's money piled on the floor, Accusations that you try to deny, Revelations and rumors begin to fly. Now you think about reaching out Maybe get some help from above. Now you think about reaching out Maybe get some help from above. Reporters crowd around your house. Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds, Speculating what they may find out, It don't matter now, you're all washed up. You wake up in the middle of the night. Your sheets are wet and your face is white, You tried to make a good thing last, How could something so good, go bad, so fast? American dream, American dream American dream, American dream. Don't know when things went wrong, Might have been when you were young and strong. Don't know when things went wrong, Might have been when you were young and strong. Reporters crowd around your house. Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds, Speculating what they may find out, It don't matter now, you're all washed up. Don't know when things went wrong, Might have been when you were young and strong. American dream, American dream. Don't know when things went wrong, Might have been when you were young and strong. American dream, American dream. - Got It Made
- Name Of Love
Letra
You who rule upon the land, You hold the future in your hand, When you take your people down the road, Before another bomb explodes. Can you do it in the name of love? Can you do it in the name of love? And when you sail upon the sea This one's for you, this one's for me. Before another missile flies You who soar into the sky Can you do it in the name of love? Can you do it in the name of love? And so I shout it around the world To every boy and every girl, Yeah, I shout it around the world To every boy and every girl, Can you do it in the name of love? Can you do it in the name of love? Can you do it in the name of love? - Don't Say Good-Bye
- This Old House
Letra
Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking, The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor. Darlin' I can see that you're dreaming, And I don't wanna wake you up When I close the door. This old house of ours is built on dreams And a businessman don't know what that means. There's a garden outside she works in every day And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's Gonna come and take it all away. Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy, And how he always made things work, when the chips were down, And I know I've got something inside me There's always a light there to guide me To what can't be found. This old house of ours is built on dreams And a businessman don't know what that means. There's a swing outside the kids play on every day And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's Gonna come and take it all away. Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away. Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away. Remember how we first came here together? Standing on an empty lot, holding hands. Later, we came back in the moonlight And made love right where the kitchen is, Then we made our plans. This old house of ours is built on dreams And a businessman don't know what that means. There's a garden outside she works in every day And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's Gonna come and take it all away. Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away. Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away. - Nighttime For Generals

- Feel Your Love
Letra
High on a balcony, right where we used to be, This city dancing like a sparkling sea. I wanna catch a wave, I wanna swim to shore. Walk on that same beach like I did before. I really want the sun, want the sun to rise, I really want to end the night. I really wanna feel, wanna feel your love. I wanna feel your love. I think of our old friends, I count my enemies. I hear you tell me how I don't know love. I wanna feel your love, I wanna lay right down. Wish I was swimming in the sound of love. I really want the night, want the night to end. I really want the sun to rise. I really wanna feel, wanna feel your love. I wanna feel your love. And now the night is still, the mansion on the hill, The children sleeping in their endless dreams. I wanna feel your love, I wanna feel your love, I wanna feel your love, feel your love, feel your love. I wanna feel your love, I wanna feel your love, I wanna feel your love, feel your love, feel your love. - Night Song
Letra
Tell me where Does it say When you're lost you stay that way Why a forest of fools getting in the way Cannot hear, cannot fade with the nightsong. Nightsong, from my heart Why can't we Sing this nightsong. All alone I reflect on my demons in the night Some are wise, Some are good Some are not so bright I can't hear Sing along with the nightsong. Nightsong, from my heart Why can't we Sing this nightsong. Why not keep on singing anyway? Run away I don't know what it was Led you astray Just because you're too much like I am anyway I will come You can't hide From the nightsong. Nightsong, from my heart Why can't we Sing this nightsong. Why not keep on singing anyway?
