the chosen, I’m leaving the pain
The black cloud is fallin’ again
The black cloud is fallin’

And he takes me higher, 2 the state I’m in

I’m looking down on the Earth as we sail ‘cross the sky
I’m not alone anymore
And I don’t wonder why, wonder why
Locked in this dream
I’m dying 2 open my eyes

Lost in the sadness
Now I’m overcome
The black cloud is fallin’ again
The black cloud is fallin’

This is the chosen, I’m leaving
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again

Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again



MIDNIGHT MEDITATED

Written by Funk Man/Marsh

I'm out on the town, down on the boulevard
Wash my face with the tears
Why do I cry so hard?

And I come 2 my senses
Now I'm gonna face reality
Gonna tear down the fences
So good for my sanity

And I don't give a damn, what you're thinkin'!
And I don't really care, this ship ain't sinkin'
'Cause I got a new thing
From the solar system
I'm outta my head

I am created
I am midnight meditated
I am elated
I am midnight meditated

Don't get no sleep
And I don't want 2 socialize
My mind, it runs deep
And I sure like 2 fantasize
'Cause I've been received
And I know a simple way

And I don't give a damn, what you're thinkin'!
And I don't really care, this ship ain't sinkin'
'Cause I got a new thing
From the solar system
I'm outta my head

I am created
I am midnight meditated
I am elated
I am midnight meditated

I am created
I am midnight meditated
I am elated
I am midnight meditated



IT'S ALRIGHT

Written by Funk Man/Marsh

I don’t want 2 talk about confusion
I don’t want it livin’ in my head
I just want 2 talk about a solution
Do U understand, remember what I said?!

U can take all my money
Now I’m singin’ my song
And I think that it’s funny
Why did I wait so long?

It’s alright if I’m dreaming
It’s alright, what’s the moaning?
It’s alright, face the measure
It’s alright, take the pressure!

I’m livin’ in a different generation
I’m livin’ with an automatic mind
Now tell me can U feel the new vibration?
Now I just want 2 hear it one more time

You can take all my money
Now I’m singin’ my song
And I think that it’s funny
Why did I wait so long?

It’s alright if I’m dreaming
It’s alright, what’s the moaning?
It’s alright, face the measure
It’s alright, take the pressure!

It’s alright if I’m dreaming
It’s alright, what’s the moaning?
It’s alright, face the measure
It’s alright, take the pressure!



SWITCH THE MOJO

Written by Funk Man/Marsh
©2000 Funk Man Music (BMI)/Warner Chappell Music Group Ltd.

Who is the one who’s haunting me?
I gotta know, I gotta know
You’ve taken the sacred part of me
Just let it go, just let it go

Is this the way U want 2 be?
Just let me know, please let me know
In some electric odyssey
You let it go, U let it go

Why do U want 2 pull me down?
Can’t U see I’m on the ground
I think I’m going 2 come around

I don’t want 2 switch the mojo, but I would!
I don’t want 2 see the freak show, but I should!
I don’t want 2 switch the mojo, it’s so good!

Who is the one who is killing me?
I gotta know, I gotta know
You’ve tasted the sacred part of me
Just let it go, just let it go

I don’t want 2 switch the mojo, but I would!
I don’t want 2 see the freak show, but I should!
I don’t want 2 take the last blow, but I would!
I don’t want 2 switch the mojo, but I would!



GONE

Written by Hughes/Iommi
©2000 Warner Chappell Music Group Ltd./Artemis BV

In a dream I had a final vision
How come U just want 2 be my friend? How come?
Will U ever have 2 justify the hidden meaning in your time again? How
come?

I’m gone, gone, just like the past
Because I’m gone, and U won’t be the last
‘Cause I’ll be strong, now U can hear my voice
Because I’m gone

In an ordinary conversation, I come 2 my realization
Then U come 2 me with velvet skin
How come I did let U in?

I’m gone, gone, just like the past
Because I’m gone, and U won’t be the last
‘Cause I’ll be strong, now U can hear my voice
Because I’m gone

Still it breaks me down, inside
As I walk through the fire
I am a chosen man
Nothing can change me at all

I’m gone, gone, just like the past
Because I’m gone, and U won’t be the last
‘Cause I’ll be strong, now U can hear my voice
Because I’m gone

I’m gone, gone, just like the past
Because I’m gone, and U won’t be the last
‘Cause I’ll be strong, now U can hear my voice
Because I’m gone

You lie, U lie
Nothing will change U



THE OTHER SIDE OF ME

Written by Funk Man/Zermuehlen

I don’t know what U been told
What I feel is in my soul
‘Cause what I want I got for free
It’s all I need 2 satisfy me

Now I just want 2 make U see
And I don’t need no sympathy
And I just want 2 break on thru
And what am I supposed 2 do?

Right on Mr., turn your light on me
Back off Sister, won’t U let me be
Catch my spirit, won’t U set it free
Now can U see the other side of me?

I woke up in a velvet room
That’s when I heard the sonic boom
I don’t want no dope and smoke
I think I’ll tighten up my stroke

Right on Mr., turn your light on me
Back off Sister, won’t U let me be
Catch my spirit, won’t U set it free
Now can U see the other side of me?

I don’t want 2 give it up
‘Cause I just bleed that funky stuff
I might want 2 play the fool
More TV’s in the swimming pool

Right on Mr., turn your light on me
Back off Sister, won’t U let me be
Catch my spirit, won’t U set it free
Now can U see the other side of me?

Right on Mr., turn your light on me
Back off Sister, won’t U let me be
Catch my spirit, won’t U set it free
Now can U see the other side of me?



ANGELA

Angela, she is a good friend
On her faith I can rely
She's an American woman
Born on the 4th of July

She don't want no philosophy
She just need photography
She was raised in poverty
Now why did U change your name?

Angela, is it true that what they say, U made the grade?
Angela, I can see your face in the motorcade
Angela, I'm so glad that it happened 4 U
Angela, you're a rock 'n roll star like U wanted

Angela, she come from Georgia
She had an unusual sound
She played in the bars in Atlanta
And she killed them in London Town

She don't want no philosophy
She just need photography
She was raised in poverty
Now why did U change your name?

Angela, is it true that what they say, U made the grade?
Angela, I can see your face in the motorcade
Angela, I'm so glad that it happened 4 U
Angela, you're a rock 'n roll star like U wanted

THIS LIFE

Written by Funk Man/Zermuehlen
©2000 Funk Man Music (BMI)/Mr. Z Music (ASCAP)

Oh Father, it’s me your friend
I feel so good inside, I’m on the mend
I broke this fever, it’s a cryin’ shame
We live and die, and then we live again!

This life is beautiful
This life is magical
This life is built on trust
And I just want 2 get on the bus

Why do I have 2 work so hard?

I’ve been livin’ for this life
Livin’ for this life

Oh Mother, thank U for my life
You’ve always been right there by my side
Just like the footprints in the sand
You make me see, U make me understand

Thank U for the morning sun
The crystal lake, another dawn
The mountain high, the valley low
The river wide, the falling snow
The happiness U gave 2 me
The love U give so endlessly
And U will live inside of me
Now I’m the proudest son U see!



DAYS OF AVALON

Written by Funk Man/Marsh
©2000 Funk Man Music (BMI)/Warner Chappell Music Group Ltd.

If I was lost, the last time around
There will be a beautiful place that I’ve found
I’ll go away someday
Behind the veil
Can’t U see, now let me be
You don’t have 2 wait for me

I know that I’ve been sometimes wrong
I feel my faith is growing strong
There is a place that I belong
These are the days of Avalon

I’m not scared anymore
And I don’t resist
There’s a voice inside of me
That I’ll never be
And I won’t be afraid
The autumn wind howls
Can’t U see my soul is free
You don’t have 2 pray for me

I know that I’ve been sometimes wrong
I feel my faith is growing strong
There is a place that I belong
These are the days of Avalon

And I don’t want 2 take
Too much of your time
‘Cause I got this feelin’ that can’t be denied
Cry at the window
When I’m walkin’ away
U know when I can be found
U know where I can be found

It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful



THE WORLD IS BROKEN (Bonus track in Japan)

Written by Funk Man/Zermuehlen

Jamie wears a pistol, she's walkin' with her gun
She's sleepin with a crystal by her side
Andy, he's a rider, a rider 'til he die
He will ride the planet one more time

The world is broken
The world is broken

There's a hole in the river
There's a hole in the sky
As I turn my face to the sun
There's a full moon risin' for the third time today
The Universe has come undone

Billie is a lifeguard, he sure do love the sun
He will be my brother all my life
Roger, he's a surfer, surfer #1
He's gonna ride the big wave one more time

The world is broken
The world is broken

Cindy, she's a joker, she was born that way
I can see her smilin' on the moon
Lol, he is a poet, how beautiful the noise
He'll live the final chapter one more time

The world is broken
The world is broken

The world is broken
The world is broken

The world is broken
Broken on me and you
