I know it's late but I've got time
and the will to forget certain lines.
Here in my room, it's alright.
I can sleep through the day if I like.
My sweet lover, here by my side -
under the covers I can hide.
But shadows and feelings come into mind -
you get me, you get me, you get me each time tell me
Why are you here again?
I told you, I told you, I told you this was the end.
It's that evil emotion mother called guilt.
It wraps in chains, makes me feel ill.
I've got no reason to let you stay -
You've got no right to haunt me this way.
My sweet lover, here by my side -
under the covers I can hide.
But shadows and feelings come into mind -
you get me, you get me, you get me each time tell me
Why are you here again?
I told you, I told you, I told you this was the end.
Tell me
Why are you here again?
I know you, I know you, I know you and you're not my friend.
Get out of here,
Get out of here,
Get out.

Something I Never Knew
04:08

I know what happens when summer arrives...
blood races as temperatures rise.
You say:
"Baby, got to keep your cool -
don't be like the other fools
who say I don't do what I say I do
'cause that's not true."
but this is
Something I Never Knew...
I know we all have our own special secrets -
It's only human, in our nature I guess.
You say:
"Baby, there's always a way
to hide the truth away
and save it for that rainy day."
well, okay but this is
Something I Never Knew.
It's Something I Never Knew.
Yeah, this is Something I Never Knew about you.
What goes around comes around
and I got two feet on the ground and
I'm not the one falling down and
I know, I know, I know -
You say"
"Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do
to have my cake and eat it, too -
I'll let you know when I'm through."

Mask
04:34
|

You pull the covers over your head and you shut your eyes -
Sometimes I think you might be dead - I wouldn't be surprised.
Hoping and holding onto who - I don't really know.
Can you show me - show me how it really goes
behind the Mask,
under the Mask.
You say we all need it -
some place to hide.
Well, I don't believe it and I can't even see inside.
Always, always some new story to tell.
And it's easy when fantasy is what you do so well.
behind the Mask,
under the Mask.
There in your room -
deep in the darkness
will you hum a tune
while I hear your heartbeat -
I hear your heartbeat.
Oh, the state you're in - just a man out of time.
Go out in that limb, look into my eyes
Hoping and holding onto who
I don't really know...

Love Wins
04:02
|

He brings me coffee every morning.
Silly presents now and then...gives me everything I wanted
with a kiss.
Have I forgotten how it used to be - no, no, no.
but it doesn't matter anymore.
You see a rainbow you forget the rain,
so I don't care.
The moon can go, the sun can fade.
The mountains move, it'll be okay
'cause I hold his hand and my world is right
the war is over and Love Wins.
Guess I've had my share of chances
to love someone and do it right.
We learn the meaning of forgiveness over time.
So when the sun comes up tomorrow
he'll be kissing me awake.
The cup of coffee on my windowsill will have to wait.

You Are
03:40

I've seen days like this
when there's so much I miss.
All those chances I need
were there right beside me but
time keeps ticking
and I keep wishing that the walls come tumbling down
when love comes back around.
And there You Are
taking me to heaven.
You Are
making my heart sing
You Are
showing me everything
You Are.
Fortunes can be lost.
I've seen empires crumble.
These four walls and a door
mean much more than before.
But time keeps ticking -
something's missing
and I keep wishing that the walls come tumbling down
when love comes back around.

Killing Time
03:07
|

You're the one with all the answers
and you've found a plan for what was.
Ain't it funny how you're always knocking
on the wrong people not the right doors but then you're just
Killing Time...
Just Killing Time.
After mistakes are said and done
you thought it was time for some fun.
But it's only funny how nothing else feels
like the dust in my eyes while you spin your wheels.
You're just Killing Time...
Just Killing Time.
Grab for the knife that I won't give to you -
Go for the gun but I won't die with you.
I know what desperation can do
and I will stay far away - away from you.

Satisfied
04:40
|

I've always believed in miracles long before I met you
but you were like a dream fulfilled -
a wish that came true.
Spring, summer, fall and winter -
time flew like the wind.
We danced to a silent song
in a night without end.
But there were times when we wanted more than this
and someone whispered "Let the games begin"
From heartache into heart break
we learned the hard way...but now
Every time I look at you I'm
Satisfied.
Every little thing we do leaves me
Satisfied.
Baby, when I'm loving you, I'm
Satisfied...so, so Satisfied.
Like an unexpected patch of blue in a stormy sky
I discovered peace with you, with eyes open wide.
But there were times when we hid our hearts away
so many secrets - so little to say
Sometimes silence is worse than violence
But we learned the hard way and now...

It doesn't take a hero to walk down that road
It just takes your heart and what you believe.
Now the truth makes you angry when it comes to your country -
you've got some questions for powers that be
and you say:
I tried hard to see the way it should be -
I used to care about God's Enemies.
But look what's left me -
it's not the way it should be and I don't want to fight God's Enemies anymore.
Three crying babies that you can't even feed,
but they say in the next life you'll find relief.
When you look for answers
you find heads shake and backs turn.
You've got your problems but aren't you free to say:
I tried hard to see the way it should be -
I used to care about God's Enemies.
But look what's left me -
it's not the way it should be and I don't want to fight God's Enemies anymore.
Don't tell me what's good or bad -
I gave up every chance I had to be happy...
to be happy...for you.

Paolo's got a ways to go
but he says he's got lots of time.
He's found some 2 x 4's and a beat up door
walking around looking for signs of Home.
And it's the shadow of myself
and you know it feels like Home to me.
It's kinda like the dreams we build -
one piled on top of the other
but I put my soul in the hand I hold
walking around, finally coming back Home...
It's what you make it -
all we do.
I couldn't place it until I found you.

Love Riot Baltimore, Maryland
Formed in Baltimore in 1994 by singer Lisa Mathews and guitarist Mikel Gehl, Love Riot came to epitomize the sweet and sophisticated pop sounds emanating from countless mix format radio stations in the 1990s. While the band persistently flirted with success in that genre through well-placed television exposure and constant performances, they went on an indefinite sabbatical in 1999. - J. Duffy ... more
