-
- I can't control this flesh and blood
- That's wrapped around my bones
- It moves beneath me like a river
- Into the great unknown
-
- I stepped onto the moving stairs
- Before I could tie my shoes
- Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade
- Who lived and died the blues
-
- And his promise made was never clear
- It just carved itself in me
- All I saw was frost inside my head
- On the night he said to me
-
- Someday we'll live like horses
- Free rein from your old iron fences
- There's more ways than one to regain your senses
- Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses
-
- We're the victims of the heartbreak
- That kept us short of breath
- Trapped above these bloodless streets
- Without a safety net
-
- I stood in line to join the trial
- One more customer of fate
- Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train
- On the road to the golden gate
-
- On the flat cracked desert I jumped ship
- It just made sense to me
- I've spent too long in the belly of the beast
- And now I shall be free
-
- Duet with Luciano Pavarotti
-
- I can't control this flesh and blood
- That's wrapped around my bones
- It moves beneath me like a river
- Into the great unknown
-
- I stepped onto the moving stairs
- Before I could tie my shoes
- Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade
- Who lived and died the blues
-
- La promessa non fu chiara
- S'erra solo impressa in me
- Vidi solo il gelo dentro me
- Quella notte dise a me
-
- Vivrem comme cavalli
- Liberi dai recinti di ferro
- Che piu non voglio
- Rinnegare i sensi
- Su dai fuggiam
- Vivrem comme cavalli
-
- We're the victims of the heartbreak
- That kept us short of breath
- Trapped above these bloodless streets
- Without a safety net
-
- I stood in line to join the trial
- One more customer of fate
- Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train
- On the road to the golden gate
-
- Nel deserto la nave abbandonai
- Per me aveva senso
- Son stato troppo tempo nella bestia
- Ed ora saro libero
-
- Someday We'll live like horses
- Free reign from your old iron fences
- There's more ways than one to regain your senses
- Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses
- Someday
-
- Liberi dai ricenti di ferro
- Che piu non voglio
- Rinnegare i sensi
- Su dai fuggiam
- Vivrem comme cavalli
