Lyrics — The Caves

Anywhere in the Universe

I only met you yesterday
Now you’re taking me on a trip
To the farthest reaches of the galaxy
I didn’t think it would be like this

Don’t think i’ve seen such a godforsaken place
Nothing around but rocks and mud
If this is what it’s like to be in outer space
I’d like to go back home thank you very much

Is there anywhere in the universe
pleasant we could go?
is there anywhere in the universe
pleasant we could go?

You told me when we left you’d keep me free from harm
But nothing has been further from the truth
Maybe i fell in love with your smile and charm
It made me want to put my faith in you

Spectrox

What would you do to live forever?
What would you give to live forever?
How much would you pay to live forever?
Who would you pray to to live forever?

Take it, come on
Take it, come on
For you, for you
It’s all for you

What would you do to live forever?
What lie would you tell to live forever?
And who would you leave to live forever?
What would you hide to live forever?

What would you do to live forever?
Who would you cheat to live forever?
And what would you burn down to live forever?
Who would you kill to live forever?

Live forever
Live forever

Would you destroy the whole wide world?
The moon above and the planets near
Give up laughing, life and love
To live forever, live forever
Live forever, live forever

Work For Me

I own the streets and the sky above
I own the box that you live in
I own the air that you breathe
I own your husbands, wives and children

Everybody in my pocket
Money in my hand
You’d be surprised
What it can buy

The world's so beautiful
Sun's so bright
On a warm summer day you might
Think you were free
Really you work for me

What it gift it is to be me
All powerful, influential
Everybody knows me
And everybody loves me

You think you’re fighting me
Really you work for me
Think you control me
Really you work for me
Think I’m your enemy
Really you work for me
Really you work for me
You work for me

Pay For This

How did you come to end up here?
Among the men who fight for right and never fear
It’s obvious you’ve never been
Someone that anyone could trust
You must
You must
You must be

You must be on the side of the machines
Can't you see just what that does to me inside
When I'm down here fighting for my life

Lost so many friends, so many lives
Doing what we can just to survive
Don’t what we’re fighting for
Anymore
But you picked the wrong side

You’re gonna pay for this
No matter what you say
You’re gonna pay for this
No matter what you say
How could you do this?
How could you be this way?
Doesn’t matter what you say say say say

We’d like to get to know you well
Inflict a little pain and see what comes of it
Then maybe you could tell us why
We just can’t win
Maybe then we let you die

On second thought
A shot
A single shot
Right to your head and then into your friend
Maybe she’s innocent
More innocent then you

Sometimes the innocent die too

Is It Wrong ?

Is it wrong to be afraid
'Cause if I’d known
I might have stayed behind
Is it wrong to be afraid
If you'd told me
I might have stayed
Where i was
Should have never fallen
Back into your arms

Don’t you trust me, friend, I’m doing what I can
Its the best I can do right now, just take a breath and rest
Why should I have to tell you not to be afraid?
I’d never let it end this way
End this way

Let me think it through, I’m trying to make sense
Of everything we’ve been through, how we got into this mess
Why should I have to tell you to trust me when I say
I’d never let it end this way
End this way

Beauty, I Must Have You

Can you see who I used to be?
Do you see beneath my mask?
There used to be much more to me
Than this

I was the talk of the world
The most celebrated
Power and glory, decorated
I had everything anyone could want

Beauty and riches all around me
Smiling faces all surround me
Look again what do you see
Not much of me

Stay with me
Beauty I must have you
Stay here with me
Here with me
With me
With me

Gave it all up just to survive
Traded beauty for my life
Nothing left of who I was
Just black and white and angry eyes

Deceived, betrayed, burned and broken
Still alive, but not the same
Disfiguration, pain and shame
I can never be the same, never be the same
I can never be the same, never be the same

To see you here fills me with regret
All this time I tried to forget
How much I loved the life I had
So stay
Please stay
Stay

Stotzy

Just because I double-deal
You might think I’m evil
Just because I kill
You might think I'm dirt
Just because I steal
You might think I’m desperate
I never did anything
You wouldn’t have done
Get your gun
Get your gun
We’re going

Everybody
Wants to be somebody
Everybody
Wants to be someone yeah

How you gonna get your fame?
Make your fortune?
How you gonna get what’s due to you
Get even?
Is it worth the pain you’ve gone through?
A little bit here and there
What if we never had to come back here?
Get your gun
Get your gun
We’re going

Here Alive

It’s always good to see you friend
Have a drink, you'd best sit down
This is hard say and hard to hear
Everyone’s trying take you down
But you’re safe right here

You look so young
It’s such a shame….
You stood against me in every way...
You thought you'd catch me in my lies
I’d have to be a fool
To let you leave here alive
Here alive

It’s always good to see you friend
You’re looking well, as well as can be
For a man about to leave this world
What do I mean?
Wait and see

It’s always good to see you friend
You’ve come so far, you reached the top
They can't take that away from you, it’s been a long way up
But it’s long way down
Way down,
Way down,
Way down,
Way down

I Would Crash This Ship To Save My Friend

I would crash this ship to save my friend
I would crash this ship to save my friend
You can try
Try to stop me
No matter what you’re going down with me
I will crash this ship to save my friend

I would crash this ship to save my friend
I would crash this ship to save my friend
We might die
Be torn to pieces
No matter what I still have promises to keep
I will crash this ship to save my friend

We’re going back
Back from where we came
We’re going back
And I don’t blame you
For thinking I should die
And maybe I will

We’re going back
Back from where we came
We’re going back
And I wouldn’t blame you
For thinking we’ll fall
Maybe we all will

It’s too late
We’re on our way down
Maybe I’ll see you on the ground
I will crash this ship to save my friend

I’ve Taken Everything

Just like a man
No not just a man
A powerful man
You think that no one's watching
What you do

Just a like a man
Like a powerful man
You thought that I could never
Win against you

I’ve taken
Everything
Your houses, your money
Your friends in high places
Your privilege and power

Everything
What was yours is mine
What was yours is mine
Is mine, is mine
Is

Just like a man
Like a powerful man, to think
I don't deserve
All that I got from you

Just like a man
Like a powerful man
You never dreamed
I'd turn against you

You thought you were a man
A powerful man
But it was an illusion
Thought you were a man
Thought you were special
But now you’re no one

Let me lay this out
Everything you had is gone
Everybody wants you
But not the way you want them to

Look at Me

I asked for them to bring your head to me
I’d have given anything for it to be
But here you are
Still breathing
Here you are

If I'd known you’d live I’d never have betrayed you
I thought you’d die, quick and without pain
But here you are
Still fighting
Here you are

Look at me, Look what you’ve done to me
Remember when you were a friend to me?
Look at me, Look what you’ve done to me
What have you done to me
What have you done

I’ve been waiting years to have you here
Always thought you’d come to me in pieces
But here you are
Speaking to me
Here you are

I’m here to finish what I started then
I came to take it all and leave you here for dead
It seems to me
I owe you that at least

And when I get my hands around your neck
I’ll never let you take another breath
I’ll see you die
If it’s the last thing I see
I’ll see you die

What have you done to me
What have you done

Is This Death?

I had a dream that I'd grow old with you
That you and I would never die
I can see it clearly
Clear as I see now
How wrong I was

I see my friends, I see my enemies
A million lives a thousand faces reaching out for me
Are you there with them
Or are you here with me?
You mean everything to me

Is his death?
I see the end is coming
If this is death
I want to know you'll be alright
Is this the end
The final breath I breathe
My friends are calling out to me

Everyone lives
Everyone dies
Everyone changes
Once in while
If I do
I hope that I will see you
On the other side

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
