THE GREATEST SHOW
❝ Ladies and gents, this is the moment you’ve waited for. ❞
❝ Buried in your bones, there’s an ache you can’t ignore. ❞
❝ Taking your breath, stealing your mind. ❞
❝ All that was real is left behind. ❞
❝ Don’t fight it, it’s coming for you. ❞
❝ It’s only this moment, don’t care what comes after. ❞
❝ Can’t you see it getting closer? ❞
❝ Just surrender ‘cause you feel the feeling taking over. ❞
❝ It’s fire, it’s freedom. ❞
❝ The runaways are running the night! ❞
❝ Oh, this is the greatest show! ❞
❝ It’s blinding, outshining anything that you know. ❞
❝ It’s everything you ever want. It’s everything you ever need. ❞
❝ This is where you wanna be. ❞
❝ You see the impossible is coming true. ❞
❝ The walls can’t stop us now! ❞
A MILLION DREAMS
❝ I close my eyes and I can see a world that’s waiting up for me. ❞
❝ They can say I’ve lost my mind. ❞
❝ We can live in a world that we design. ❞
❝ Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head. ❞
❝ A million dreams are keeping me awake. ❞
❝ I think of what the world could be: a vision of the one I see. ❞
❝ The special things I compile, each one there to make you smile on a rainy day. ❞
❝ They can say we’ve lost our minds. ❞
❝ Run away to a world that we design. ❞
❝ However big, however small, let me be part of it all. ❞
❝ Share your dreams with me. ❞
❝ You may be right, you may be wrong, but say that you’ll bring me along. ❞
❝ A million dreams is all it’s gonna take. ❞
❝ A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make. ❞
COME ALIVE
❝ You stumble through your days, got your head hung low. ❞
❝ You’re asleep inside. ❞
❝ You’re just a dead man walking thinking that’s your only option. ❞
❝ Take the world and redefine it. ❞
❝ Come alive, go and light your light. ❞
❝ You’re dreaming with your eyes wide open. ❞
❝ I see it in your eyes. You believe that lie. ❞
❝ Afraid to step outside, so you lock the door. ❞
❝ No more living in the shadows, you and me, we know how that goes. ❞
❝ Once you see it, oh, you’ll never be the same. ❞
❝ You can prove there’s more to you. ❞
THE OTHER SIDE
❝ I don’t want to chase you down. ❞
❝ You run with me, and I can cut you free. ❞
❝ Don’t you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play? ❞
❝ I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride. ❞
❝ Stay in the cage, or you’ll finally take the key. ❞
❝ I quite enjoy the life you say I’m trapped in. ❞
❝ You’re onto something, really it’s something. ❞
❝ I live among the swells and we don’t pick up peanut shells, I’ll have to leave that up to you. ❞
❝ I don’t need to see the other side. ❞
❝ If I were mixed up with you, I’d be the talk of the town. ❞
❝ Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns. ❞
❝ But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little. ❞
❝ Just let me give you the freedom to dream. ❞
❝ We’re going to the other side! ❞
NEVER ENOUGH
❝ I’m trying to hold my breath. ❞
❝ Let it stay this way. ❞
❝ Can’t let this moment end. ❞
❝ You set off a dream in me. ❞
❝ Can you hear it echoing? ❞
❝ Take my hand. Will you share this with me? ❞
❝ Darling without you, all the shine of a thousand spotlights, all the stars we steal from the night sky will never be enough. ❞
❝ Towers of gold are still too little. ❞
❝ These hands could hold the world but it’ll never be enough. ❞
THIS IS ME
❝ I am not a stranger to the dark. ❞
❝ I’ve learned to be ashamed of all my scars. ❞
❝ No one’ll love you as you are. ❞
❝ I won’t let them break me down to dust. ❞
❝ I know that there’s a place for us, for we are glorious. ❞
❝ I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out. ❞
❝ I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I’m meant to be. ❞
❝ This is me. ❞
❝ I’m marching on to the beat I drum. ❞
❝ I make no apologies. ❞
❝ Fire away cause today, I won’t let the shame sink in. ❞
❝ We are bursting through the barricades and reaching for the sun. ❞
❝ We are warriors. ❞
❝ I’m not scared to be seen. ❞
❝ I know that I deserve your love. ❞
❝ There’s nothing I’m not worthy of. ❞
REWRITE THE STARS
❝ You know I want you. ❞
❝ It’s not a secret I try to hide. ❞
❝ Fate is pulling you miles away and out of reach from me. ❞
❝ You’re here in my heart, so who can stop me if I decide that you’re my destiny? ❞
❝ What if we rewrite the stars? ❞
❝ You’d be the one I was meant to find. ❞
❝ No one can say what we get to be. ❞
❝ Maybe the world could be ours tonight. ❞
❝ You think I don’t want to run to you? ❞
❝ There are doors that we can’t walk through. ❞
❝ We’re able to be just you and me within these walls. ❞
❝ When we go outside, you’re gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all. ❞
❝ No one can rewrite the stars. ❞
❝ How can you say you’ll be mine? Everything keeps us apart. ❞
❝ I’m not the one you were meant to find. ❞
❝ All I want is to fly with you, all I want is to fall with you. ❞
❝ Just give me all of you. ❞
❝ We’re bound to break and my hands are tied. ❞
TIGHTROPE
❝ Some people long for a life that is simple and planned. ❞
❝ Some people won’t sail the sea cause they’re safer on land. ❞
❝ I’d follow you to the great unknown. ❞
❝ Off to a world we call our own. ❞
❝ Hand in my hand, we promised to never let go. ❞
❝ We’re walking a tightrope. ❞
❝ High in the sky, we can see the whole world down below. ❞
❝ Never sure, never know how far we could fall. ❞
❝ It’s all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view. ❞
❝ You pull me in and together we’re lost in a dream. ❞
❝ So I risk it all just to be with you. ❞
❝ I risk it all for this life we choose. ❞
FROM NOW ON
❝ A man learns who is there for him when the glitter fades and the walls won’t hold. ❞
❝ If all was lost, there’s more I gained 'cause it led me back to you. ❞
❝ From now on, these eyes will not be blinded by the lights. ❞
❝ What’s waited till tomorrow starts tonight. ❞
❝ Let this promise in me start, like an anthem in my heart. ❞
❝ I drank champagne with kings and queens. ❞
❝ The politicians praised my name. ❞
❝ Those are someone else’s dreams, the pitfalls of the man I became. ❞
❝ For years and years, I chased their cheers. ❞
❝ When I stop and see you here, I remember who all this was for. ❞
❝ We will come back home again. ❞

‘ Am I always on the edge of quitting ? Giving up and just forgetting ’

‘ The lions and the lambs are fighting ’
‘ Waking up and reigniting ’
‘ But I don’t wanna fight their old war ’
‘ Give me something I can hope for, ’
run
‘ We’re gonna rob the banks and feel no shame ’
‘ Burn our fingers and change our names ’
‘ And I’ll tame the roads that can’t be tamed ’
‘ With you ’
‘ Then we’ll race like falcons to crash and burn learn the lessons we never learned ’
‘ If you kiss me harder, some day I’ll turn to you ’
‘ I want to run ’
‘ To feel again ’
‘ To be no one ’
‘ And all my life I’ve been burdened by the dreams I’ve had ’
‘ But if I never know, well, at least I’ll lie ’
outlaws
‘ Baby we can be magic ’
‘ Pack your bags because we leave tonight ’
‘ I’ve got something to show you ’
‘ Wrap your arms ‘round my waist so tight ’
‘ Let that hunger control you ’
‘ Our parents won’t understand ’
‘ They don’t know we might not last the day ’
‘ We ought to make a stand ’
‘ Holding out for another way ’
‘ Don’t you know that we’re outlaws ? Giving the finger to death itself ’
‘ We got no one to hide from ’
‘ We got no one to toast our health ’
‘ Rules were meant to be pushed and pulled ’
‘ We were meant to be sparks of light ’
‘ Running now with the raging bulls ’
‘ Ever since I was ten years old, you know that I could feel it ’
‘ Our friends they won’t understand ’
‘ They can’t feel all the lust inside our eyes ’
‘ Holding out for a new sunrise ’
the dream
‘ I have the dream, always the same - I was in white and falling. Pretty red rose pinned to my clothes - I had the dream as always ’
scared
‘ Remember when you said you loved me ? ’
‘ Remember when you said that it would all work out ? ’
‘ We packed up and we left one morning ’
‘ And everything you promised didn’t happen, and now ’
‘ I’m swirling softly, drifting like the cream in your coffee ’
‘ And you’re talking calmly ’
‘ When I’m scared to be on our own, when the thrill is gone ’
‘ And I’m scared thinking what we’ve done ’
‘ To try to love someone ’
‘ Baby can you keep your promise ? ’
‘ Baby can I keep you honest ? ’
‘ Cause I’m scared ’
‘ There’s nothing in the sky above me ’
‘ There’s nothing strung below us, baby, if we fall ’
‘ We’re caught between a spark and lightning ’
‘ We’re caught between forever and nothing at all ’
‘ And I’m sorry, I love you, but even those words are getting see through ’
‘ And I’m losing it all to this feeling, baby ’
‘ When you say you love me, I’m scared ’
‘ Are we ever gonna be okay ? ’
‘ Are we ever really gonna feel safe ? ’
‘ Is there something I can say ? ’
‘ Is it better if I walk away ? ’
chasing twisters
‘ I was born with lightning in my heels ’
‘ And I lost hope when I was still so young ’
‘ Had an angel on my shoulder but the devil always won ’
‘ And oh, I lost it all when I got hurt ’
‘ I can taste you in my rage and in the sweat upon my brow ’
‘ And I went home, chasing twisters in the canyon ’
‘ My cathedral is the badlands ’
‘ Dust and devils on my conscience ’
‘ Come back to me darlin' ’
‘ So kiss me now ’
‘ This whiskey on my breath ’
‘ Feel the lives that I have taken, what little soul that I have left ’
‘ And oh, my god I’ll take you to the grave ’
‘ The only love I’ve ever known the only soul I’ve ever saved ’
‘ And I’ve been waiting for so long now ’
‘ I can feel you in the hollow and every cloud on the horizon ’
‘ Don’t you know I dream about you ? ’
bethlehem steel
‘ A child was born in Bethlehem, the son of a steel worker union man. ’
‘ He grew up tall and he grew up strong, ’
‘ And when he came of age, all the steel was gone. ’
‘ A reckless kid wants to use his hands, ’
‘ He’s got a real quick trigger and some new demands. ’
‘ He grew so fast, and he grew so free, ’
‘ And when he comes around, he finds there’s no more steel. ’
‘ So shaken, to his knees, ’
‘ He’s got the same old rocket and a new disease. ’
‘ And he won’t take it on his neck, ’
‘ He’s got the red hot whiskey, he’s got no respect. ’
‘ You can put your faith in the government, ’
‘ But there’s no more steel left in Bethlehem. ’
‘ Try to get them back, try for reckoning, ’
dead end road
‘ The air’s crisp, kinda way that it sobers your mind and drives you back home again ’
‘ You lift all the burdens from your shoulders and realize ’
‘ You’ve reached the end ’
‘ Tell me honestly what you came here for ’
‘ When you’ve had enough but you beg for more ’
‘ And you talk so tough but you can’t ignore ’
‘ That you’re done driving down a dead end road ’
‘ Done driving on down a dead end road ’
‘ Late nights, don’t they stretch on forever ? ’
‘ You never thought that you would have to ask for help ’
‘ It’s alright, baby, it’s just a little static on the line ’
‘ That time is gonna figure out ’
‘ You’re gonna figure it out ’
‘ You missed it, the sound of tires on the ground ’
‘ You missed it, the stinging sign, the open arms ’
‘ You missed it, after the miles you’ve already traveled ’
‘ You missed it, how could you ever look behind ? ’
you’re the one for me
‘ We’ve been walking down this open road for way too long ’
‘ And I don’t wanna lead you on, ’
‘ I don’t wanna lead you on ’
‘ The traffic stops, the doors are locked and no one’s near ’
‘ Never has it been so clear ’
‘ That I could love you so I don’t know why ’
‘ I’m holding back now when everything’s right ’
‘ Take my hand, darling, look in my eyes ’
‘ There’s nothing open ’
‘ The stars are shining, love ’
‘ We walk in circles ’
‘ And I don’t wanna go, I think you should know - you’re the one for me ’
‘ Can’t stop watching you little things you do that make me weak, stop me when I try to speak, and prove that I’ve got so damn lucky ’
‘ Cause I’ve been waiting for some sort of sign ’
‘ All these days it’s been there in your eyes ’
‘ And I don’t wanna fuck it up the first time ’
‘ I’ll let you know, baby ’
‘ And you know it and I know it ’
‘ It’s a beautiful thing ’
‘ Let’s just stay in this moment ’
cold day in heaven
‘ It’s a cold day in hell, a cold day in heaven ’
‘ We watched the stars fell, and oh you know we let them ’
‘ We said it’ll never happen, ’
‘ we said it’ll never happen to us ’
‘ Keep thinking bout when we started, so innocent ’
‘ Your heart was a mess and I was lost in it ’
‘ Keep thinking bout the day that we met, and how you’ve changed ’
‘ You loved me once, and now you bring me pain ’
‘ Keep thinking that I will say goodbye ’
‘ Made a promise that you won’t see me cry again ’
‘ But it’s a cold day in heaven, my love ’
‘ The sky’s dark and the flowers are frozen, the world is hushed ’
‘ Our guardian angels have turned their backs on us ’
‘ Something broken, I thought I could fix it, but it’s broken me ’
‘ Your kisses are poison and all your words are treason ’
‘ I’m walking away, you won’t hear me say "I love you" ’
‘ Look at all the stars they have fallen ’
‘ There’s nothing left though you still wishing ’
‘ The sun it doesn’t rise in the morning it’s frozen ’
i will never die
‘ Hickory, oak, pine and weed bury my heart underneath these trees ’
‘ And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul spread my spirit like a flock of crows ’
‘ Cause I loved ya for too long ’
‘ I loved ya for too long ’
‘ Old heat of a raging fire come and light my eyes ’
‘ Summer’s kiss through electric wire ’
‘ But I’ll never die ’
‘ Sycamore, ash, moss and loam wrap your roots all around my bones ’
‘ And when they come for me when they call my name cast my shadow from a bellow’s flame ’
‘ So let the storm come ’
‘ You can bury my body but I’ll never die ’
‘ In the dead of the night I’m gonna loose this chain ’
‘ I’m gonna run and run and run and run and run ’
‘ Coming for you again ’
‘ Oh I’m coming for you again ’
the meaning of it all
‘ If I asked you to remember why we set out on this road ’
‘ You gonna fight me or surrender that it wasn’t all my fault ’
‘ Cause you’re breaking down and I can tell it’s deep ’
‘ There’s a tidal wave that’s rushing towards the beach ’
‘ But your anger has such beauty underneath ’
‘ And we all want love, ’
‘ yeah we all want love ’
‘ There’s no end to what we’re feeling just some breaks along the way ’
‘ I get so caught up in the meaning of it all ’
‘ While my heart just wants to crave ’
‘ So breathe, darling, breathe in deep come on, breathe, darling, breathe in deep for me ’
‘ I try to dream about the future when I dream but I can’t bury that sad kid I used to be ’
‘ Cause we all want love, yeah we all want love ’
‘ Cause we’re breaking down and I can tell it’s deep ’
‘ But you know I’ll be there waiting ’
‘ With my arms outstretched to reach for you, my love ’
my whole life long
‘ I wanna love you in the daylight with the world all alive around us ’
‘ Cause it’s too hard through a phone line to hold you the way I want to ’
‘ So don’t leave me ’
‘ Say you need me ’
‘ Have a little faith in what we’ve made ’
‘ Just think about how strong our love has grown ’
‘ Think about how good these seeds have sown ’
‘ I will love you ’
‘ I will love you my whole life long ’
‘ And I wanna love you in the darkness with the night rolling in like thunder ’
‘ Cause it’s too easy baby when I’ve spent so many nights alone to forget how you pull me under ’
after it all
‘ Oh, how I’ve waited ’
‘ Oh, how I’ve dreamt of this ’
‘ All the walls painted in gold ’
‘ After it all, you look after me ’
‘ All of these things that we made believe ’
