Dancing with the damned
Outside the rains falling down
Got a pocket full of loose change
Enough to get me out of this town
Got a plastic bag full of my stuff
I left you a note Just hope it’s enough
One last glance as I look around
Flash floods and flash backs
As the dust settles on the hunting ground
Tainted breath and tired eyes
Is all that’s left behind
Searching for the truth but been living a lie
Chorus
I’ve been dancing with the damned
Feels like walking on quicksand
I let my self be lead astray
Only just realized today
I’ve been dancing with the damned
This place is doing nobody any good
The party has to stop
Got to get my head out of this dirty hood
Ain’t no seasons here the years always grey
And the ace of hearts and queen of pain
Still beg you to stay
Don’t light a candle don’t say a prayer
I’m not your saviour never was meant to be
I hate to see you in dispair
I gotta go and save my soul
Find the strength to let you go
Don’t Wanna drag you down this hole
Chorus(x2)
I’ve been dancing with the damned
Feels like walking on quicksand
I let my self be lead astray
Only just realized today
I’ve been dancing with the damned
Outro
Lost in the void all hope destroyed
Feeling like a guilty child
Hanging with the boys hell we are the unemployed
Gonna make the first move find a new groove
This madness has to end
Going to take the rough and make it smooth

Guide me
Trapped in a place I never wanted to be
Lost at sea and lost in land
In need of a helping hand
Mother earth has given birth
To a new breed of weather
And it’s as hard as leather
The changing times ring out their chimes
Not for freedom or wealth fare
Cos it’s ringing in dispair
Floods droughts and tidal waves
A warning in the air
Time to say a morning prayer
Broken hearts and misguided souls
Someone guide me out of this mess
I never got to see her wedding dress
For she walked through the wrong door
Now I’m left to pick up the pieces
Seems like the pain just increases
Chorus
Don’t deny me c’mon and guide me
Untie the chains and set me free
I believe in a higher judge than you or me
C’mon and guide me hear my plea
You look at me like I’m a fool
Throwing your stones I ache to the bone
But you Ain’t the king I see upon the throne
Get down from your high horse
If you know it all like you say
Then show me how to keep hells fire at bay
Chorus
Don’t deny me c’mon and guide me
Untie the chains and set me free
I believe in a higher judge than you or me
C’mon and guide me hear my plea
Red tape hell’s gate
Pin stripes black ties
See the sadness in our eyes
Taxed up fed up
Broke and defeated
Can’t help but feel cheated
Chorus
Don’t deny me c’mon and guide me
Untie the chains and set me free
I believe in a higher judge than you or me
C’mon and guide me hear my plea
