Bruce Dickinson - Balls To Picasso (Tüm Albüm) şarkı sözleri

cyclops

we all have secret lives
in our secret rooms,
living in our movies,
humming our own tunes
living life in camera,
when the night is closing dovn,
sliding into darkness,
you could be like me

where are you going?
what are you doing?
why are you looking
at the cameras eye?
where are you staying?
why are you leaving?
we watch you breathing
through the cameras eye

we all make up our faces
the make up of the clown,
happy leaving traces,
of our childish background,
pointing at the sky,
we can watch the stars
you think you're all alone,
but you never are

they ain't watching you,
they ain't watching you now,
they ain't watching you,
they ain't watching you now

where are you going?
what are you doing?
why are you looking
at the cameras eye?
political sleazes,
sexual divas,
we watch your heart beat
through the cameras eye.

hell no

there's a secret that we all share
in the darkest hours of the night
you can swear on the bible...
cut the throat of your rival
i've been taking my life in my hands
and i'm making new plans yeah...
now i'm starting my life on my own
in the virgin unknown...

hell...hell no...
oh where do we belong?
in this place,where we fight,
oh where do we belong?

there's a place in the misty air
not a million miles from here
you can make it your own place
you can change your own face
i've been taking my life in my hands
and i'm making new plans yeah...
now i'm starting my life on my own
in the virgin unknown...

hell...hell no...
oh where do we belong?
in this place,where we fight,
oh where do we belong?
sceaming hell...hell no...
oh where do we belong?
in this place,where we fight,
oh where do we belong?
in this place,where we fight,
oh where do we belong?

if you can't really say
what you don't really know
then you don't really know
what you can't really say
sceaming out hell no
shouting out hell no
on his knees shouting hell no
defiant as hell no
on the street singing hell no
on his knees hell no
still shouting out hell no
sceaming hell no

gods of war

when i was younger i thought
that to kill or be killed
was a thing to be proud of
victim of change
prisoner of hope,
hanged by the neck
on the end of a rope
i don't know... i don't care...

oh, one of the damned
oh, part of then plan
cry oh oh oh the gods of war
they mowl and cry for more
cry oh oh oh the gods of war
they mowl and cry for more

now taking both sides at a time
on the front line
you can join in the fear
share in the bloodshed
investing your money in guns
the infinite fun
of the warlord you saved
from the rusty grave

oh, one of the damned
oh, part of plan

1000 points of light

you can sihl in the desert
with a ship of fools
you can smuggle in moses
and his book of rules
but you can't take mother
and give her back her son
hey what kind of freedom
is bought with a gun...

people like to build
their own prison walls
when they're afraid
to look inside a...
a 1000 points of light
are the muzzle flashes
in the night
and the freedoms
you profess to hold
won't bring the dead back
from the cold...

political speeshes
they are lying in the mud
nothing else matters
but money and blood
tyranny off freedom
is do what you like
there's a world gone crazy
cos it can't say no.

change of heart

here i sit, alone in a window
the rain falls down on the glass in the cold
all my life, i've been waiting for a moment
it never came - maybe never will
ah, sometimes i don't know

those days are gone
lord, i hide where i just can't say
i'm still there, catching your tears
before they fall to the ground

you, you're walking away
you couldn't stay
you need a change of heart

you, you're walking away
you couldn't stay
you need a change of heart
(yeah)

trees are bare - the earth, it is hard
i wait for winter - soft winter and snow

those days are gone
now i hide where i just can't say
i'll be there, catching your tears
before they fall to the ground

you, you're walking away
you couldn't stay
you need a change of heart

you, you're walking away
you couldn't stay
you need a change of heart

and i know, wherever you go
i'll be around, yeah
i'll be there, catching your tears
before they fall to the ground
(yeah)


those days are gone
now i hide where i just can't say
i'm still there, watching your tears
as they fall to the ground

you, you're walking away
you couldn't stay
you need a change of heart

you, you're walking away
you couldn't stay
you need a change of heart
(and i know)
you, you're walking away

fire

always let you down...
always fooled around
always stealing your own way
life just seems too short
life lived in the dirt
kicked in the teeth
is what you meant to say

fighting battles, never fired a shot

when you step into the fire
you're gonna get burned
hide all the money you saved
money won't pay
for the trouble you caused
troubles coming back for more

living on the edge
a blind man kneels on broken class
building the bars of his own case
running circles till you drop
hating life until it stops
kicked in the teeth
is what you meant to say...

sacred cowboys

with sense of irony - everyone
you see is chasing their illusion
take a dive or sink or swim
but in the end
you're in the same pollution
in your world escape is swift
the nonsense list
is all you need to know
in the land of dreams
you make the right connections
then you'll be the hero...
ecstasy...
the cult of me provides
our institutions
you can live forever
besides a grave that stands
where people used to function
you can join
the saviours of our culture
vultures circling
overhead my sky
like the sin of gluttony
won't set you free
(but betty ford can help you try)

you can get all the things
you never needed
you can sell people crap
and make them eat it

where is our john wayne
where is our sacred cowboys now?
where are the indians on the hill
there's no indians left to kill

people die with oxygen
and all their money
can afford a breath
people starving everywhere
and staring in the face of death
prostitutes and politicans
laying in their beds together
you can be the saviour
of the poor
making up the policies
to open the back door...

tears of the dragon

for too long now
there were secrets in my mind
for too long now
there were things i should have said

in the darkness, i was stumbling for the door
to find a reason, to find the time, the place, the hour

waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day
the misty ghosts of childhood fears
the pressure is building and i can't stay away

i throw myself into the sea
release the wave, let it wash over me
to face the fear, i once believed
the tears of the dragon, for you and for me

where i was
i had wings that couldn't fly
where i was
i had tears i couldn't cry

my emotions frozen in an icy lake
i couldn't feel them until the ice began to break

i have no prayer over this, you know i'm afraid
the walls i built are crumbling
the water is moving, i'm slipping away

i throw myself into the sea
release the wave, let it wash over me
to face the fear, i once believed
the tears of the dragon, for you and for me
