1. Carnival Queen The rain comes falling down The salted sea has rusted your crown Your feet are stuck in the sand And you're waiting for a guiding hand, my guiding hand Carnival Queen won't you let me Be your king and take you away Fly out of town on our rusty wings And it'll be alright The wide sky too dark to begin The cliffs are holding you in This sweetness could soon turn sour Or this could be your hour, it could be ours Carnival Queen won't you let me Be your king and take you away Fly out of town on our rusty wings And it'll be alright

Face It Down 02:30
2. Face It Down You been caught in a lie And it's time to face up to that reckoning finger Lost the power of your inner eye That's a dangerous thing if you let it linger Oh, I know you're scared I see what's going on up there You're gonna have to face it down You're gonna have to face it down You ain't had no easy ride But the excuse will wear thin and now it's time To shake yourself and find your pride Get up and face up and they will soon wake up Oh, I know you're scared I see what's going on up there You're gonna have to face it down You're gonna have to face it down Challenge will always come your way For what you take you have to pay The strength is in you

Honeysuckle 02:43
3. Honeysuckle Head full of wonder Eyes soft as mountain dew You hear the approaching thunder And you see the sun come shining through And the breeze light and scented Cools the heat that burns inside And the breeze light and scented Cools the heat that burns your mind Now I know why honeysuckle grows Flower nectar sweet to be tasted And the pine needle carpet And the earth makes our bed And the stream flowing past us And the trees swaying overhead And the breeze light and scented Cools the heat that burns inside And the breeze light and scented Cools the heat that burns your mind

Mystic Blue 03:50
4. Mystic Blue Out of the dark frets and sleeps Jets of sparks, fountain blue they leap Blue Dark is trapped within a wheel Runs like a dream, the blue of the steel Blue Yeah, into that mystic blue And all these pure things come Foam and spray of the sea Darkness abundant Which shaken mysteriously Breaks in to the dazzle of the living Dolphins leap from the sea Midnight, shake it to the fire So the secret of death we see Blue Yeah, into that mystic blue
5.
Disobey 02:38
5. Disobey Take your trinkets from me Cause I can't use them no more What use would they be to me When I'm laying here on the killing floor Take your eyes off me Remove you and control no more Go back and look inside To find out what you're for You got to, you want to disobey I can tell you one more time Take your authority Keep it for your game What us will it be to you When in the end it's just the same You got to, you want to disobey I can tell you one more time
6.
6. What's My Number Paper opinions and accounts you got us all worked out cut us right down to size to make it easy for you to criticize Won't you tell me what's my number Mr. Company Man? You don't mean to cause offence you're just pointing out the difference facts are what you're dealing with far be it from you to tell us how to live Won't you tell me what's my number Mr. Company Man? Maybe it's not your fault And you're just naive But those hateful thoughts I just can't believe Won't you tell me what's my number Mr. Company Man?

7. Say What You Want Wet to the bone, wind cuts my neck Wet to the bone, I'm not coming back Home Say what you want, I'll give it to you Say what you want, I'll give it to you Don't let me go down to the devil town Don't let me go down to the devil town
8.
8. Gone Too Soon You were throwing stones Causing ripples wide You were searing tones Burned up from inside Have you gone home? You were gone too soon Straight to the sun stars and the moon You found your way You found your own place Didn't make it easy Or depend on praise Have you gone home? You were gone too soon Straight to the sun stars and the moon I was pulled in by your voice I was conquered by heart I was pulled in by your voice I was broken by your heart You were gone too soon Straight to the sun stars and the moon
9.
9. Kissing Cousins I used to carry round your picture I'd show it to all my good friends And when they smiled and said it's all wrong Well they can say what they want Cause you're the girl for me I used to dream of a future Where I would grow to be your age And all those prying eyed wouldn't judge us Well they can say what they want Cause you're the girl for me Kissing cousins hide their secrets Deep in bedrooms under blankets Well they can say what they want Cause you're the girl for me
10.
10. You're So Good We want to thank you for your time And we got to let you know You've made this day so fine We just can't let you go, no G,o,o,d - you got to know Cause you're so good See that girl next to you And that guy dancing too They show their beauty from inside And we just got to let you know G,o,o,d - you got to know Cause you're so good We want you moving G,o,o,d - you got to know Cause you're so good
