Revision 4. 11 Feb '93.
Thanks to the usual people who corrected lyrics in this one.
Special thanks to S.Simpson ([email protected]) for getting 
me back on track with the first draft of The Tower.
Special thanks to Spiggy who pointed out a *big* mistake in Secrets:
What was:	"It seems I know where no one can find him"
is      	"Secrets, I know where no one can find them"
They don't get more obviuos than that :-)

Power
~~~~~
	Power
	Power feeds you, Long loving hours
	I can't live, everlasting power      {I can't leave everlasting flower}
	Flower
	World opens you, to simple flower
	A feeling, a feeling of success

	Draining me, now, Draining me from power	
	Draining me, now, Draining me from power	

	The wide open stench of our success	 	{.. our sex?}
	I can't give, but I'll receive for hours
	
	Draining me, now, Draining me from power	
	Draining me, now, Draining me from power	
	Draining, Static, from the attic
	Ideal Power					{I need power ????}

	Draining me, now, Draining me from power	
	Draining me, now, Draining me from power	
	Draining, Static, from the attic
	Ideal Power		

	The Power, so so tight				{Seems so nice ????}
	See the heart is burning
	I call it static
	I'm static
	So charismatic
	You're so tragic
	My lips are manic				{My love so manic??}
	I have the power
	You seem so frantic				{I'm a sex fanatic}
	My life is turning
	I'm systematic
	See my touch
	Makes you cower
	Dreaming of..
	My waking hour.
	

Secrets
~~~~~~~
	He rides on the crest of a wave
	His hands now running out		{run for miles}
	He acts against the same way in
	As I run across town with doubt
	
	I forgive you, follow me		(x3)
	I'll forgive you			(x3)

	I've seen the heart of man fall		{...hollow man fall ??}
	I've seen him crawl
	Secrets, I know where no one can find them 
	Behind the darkened door	

	I can't hear what she wrote to me
	I can't see the movements she made
	Because..
	I can't see you!			(x3)
	I can't see

	I've seen the heart of man fall		{I can hear the 't' in heart??}
	I've seen him crawl
	Secrets, I know where no one can find them 
	Behind the darkened door	
	The darkened door			(x3)
	
	I forgive you, follow me		(x3)
	I'll forgive, I'll forgive
	I'll for....

	I've seen the heart of man fall
	I've seen him crawl
	Secrets, I know where no one can find them 
	Behind the darkened door	

	The darkened door			(x3)

	
The Tower
~~~~~~~~~

	She lifts the flowers from her window box
	Summer's found now  winter flocks
	She lifts her veil to the morning rain
	Wipes her eyes to the summer again

	A thousand years shimmer on her face
	Cut inside she re-dreams the taste
	She knocks the flowers from the window side
	They fall to the ground, they fall to the ground

	Hide away from the raging sun
	You hide your love from the fire beyond

	Now the woman in an aging form
	She's tangled in the bushes tall
	Cow'ring down with head in hand
	She cries out loud, she cries out loud
	Seems so cold, it seems so cold tonight
	Seems so cold, seems so cold tonight
	
	Hide away from the raging sun
	You hide your love from the fire beyond
	
	She can't see visions of this force below
	Freezes her life through the joke
	She heads to the voice of this rainy day
	It cries like a choir in her mind "Just stay"
	Sister hold now, hold now, hold your head
	See the crowd who were at the fire which is your bed
	She then danced through the kitchen through the force below
	What cries "Now fun!" but Oh so slow
	
	Just living
	Like a dreamless child with hatred
	
	She's never been quite as cut by life before
	Never been cut by way of life before
	
	Hide away from the raging sun
	You hide your love from the fire beyond
	Hide away from the raging sun
	You hide your love from the fire beyond
	
	She can't see visions of this force below
	Freezes her life through the joke
	She heads to the voice of this rainy day
	It cries like a choir in her mind "Just stay"
	Sister hold now, hold now, hold your head
	See the crowd who were at the fire which is your bed
	She then danced through the kitchen through the force below
	What cries "Now fun!" but Oh so slow
	But Oh so slow     {Repeat to fade}
