Tangent 
Lost myself in a tangent of words
Can't decide what I've seen or heard
Can't sleep for counting sheep
How long...does this river..run deep?
How long...does this river..run deep?

Building 'em up in order to find
What's not lost but left behind
My instinct got bruised, but I still see
I was a victim of being no casualty

Just like coming home...just like coming home
Just like coming home...felt just like coming home

They say that you weave deadly tricks
Can trip to the worldly hicks
Stare cold with dull surprise
Spark evil to hell in every tear you cry...every tear you cry

Building 'em up in order to find
What's not lost but left behind
My instinct got bruised, but I still see
I was a victim of being no casualty

Just like coming home...just like coming home
Just like coming home...felt just like coming home

Cut off my toes to spite my feet
Drank your poison, didn't taste too sweet
Saw the heavens in my mind
And it's there...for me...to find
Oh it's there...for me...to find

Building 'em up in order to find
What's not lost but left behind
My instinct got bruised, but I still see
I was a victim of being no casualty

Just like coming home...just like coming home
Just like coming home...felt just like coming home
Lost myself in a tangent

Scene: Nikita and Michael at the party
Teenage Sensation 
I feel my heart slamming against my ribs
The smell of your body and the touch of your lips
You are beyond all imagination
You are beyond all imagination

Gee, I love you so much
I can look and I can touch
I can touch my teenage sensation
My teenage sensation

Your skin must be from another world
My limbs are numbed with your pleasure dome
For the first time a revelation
Beyond all imagination

Gee, I love you so much
I can look and I can touch
I can touch my teenage sensation

And I think maybe it's wrong
My teenage sensation
How young is too young?
My teenage sensation
How young is too young?
My teenage sensation

Nikita
Temple 
We're pure intangible love
You asked what I found in you
I burn inside myself
While the tempest returns
It's been years I would say
The night has lived too long
I will find a way
We'll stand in the sun

Where all our love resides
Where the dissonance seems to die
I will meet you there
We'll stand together
Where the daylight falls and fades
Your love lives in the sun
I will pass your way
This stands forever

You found eternity
This could shatter your heart
The reflection of your soul
Was a vision of me
Take all that I could be
Take all I should be
May faith lead your way
Did you know it was me

Where all our love resides
Where the dissonance seems to die
I will meet you there
We'll stand together
Where the daylight falls and fades
Your love lives in the sun
I will pass your way
This stands forever

Thalheim 
Couldn't leave you if I tried
Couldn't weather this alone
And through the darkness you still provide
The sweetest love I've ever known
Take the shadow from the road I walk upon
Be my sunshine, sunshine
And in the emptiness
You look and find someone
The damage is undone
And love has made you strong
Heaven gave me mine
Thalheim
The saddest words have come undone
Changing the very air I breathe
And miracles have just begun
In which only you and I believe
Take the shadow from the road I walk upon
Be my sunshine, sunshine
And in the weightlessness
You look and find someone
The damage is undone
And love has made you strong
Heaven gave me mine
Thalheim
When I'm all at sea
You never let me down
I'll just keep coming back to you
'Til I walk on solid ground
From the foothills to the mountains
On the waters of the Rhine
Face to face in Shahbagh gardens
In communion, out of time
Thalheim
From the lilies of the valley
To the grapes upon the vine
The well of speculation
Is it his or hers or mine?
Thalheim
In the everything and nothing
In disharmony and rhyme
In the sound of shot and echo
Who's the victim, what's the crime?
What's the crime?
Be my, be my sunshine
In the keening cries of evening
Unforgotten, underlined
We slipped into the water
Out of focus, out of time.

This Love 
This love
This love is a strange love
In that it can lift a love
This love

This love
I think I'm gonna fall again
And ever when you held the hand
And turn 'em in your fingers, love

This love
Now rehearsed we stay, love
Doesn't know it is love
This love

This love
Doesn't have to feel love
Doesn't care to be love
It doesn't mean a thing
This love

This love loves love
It's a strange love, strange love

This love
This love
This love is a strange love, strange love
I'm gonna fall again love
Doesn't mean a thing
Think I'm gonna fall again
This love

This Strange Effect 
You've got this strange effect on me
And I like it

You've got this strange effect on me
And I like it

You make my world in white
You make my darkness bright, oh yes
You've got this strange effect on me
And I like it, and I like it

And I like the way you kiss me
Don't know if I should
But this feeling it's love and I know it
That's why I feel good

You've got this strange effect on me
And I like it

You've got this strange effect on me
And I like it

You make my world in white
You make my darkness bright, oh yes
You've got this strange effect on me
And I like it, and I like it

"Nikita"
Scene: Gunfight at the "accident" scene
3 A.M. 
Never thought we'd see the light
I just want to be alone
Broken, shattered, splintered light
I just wanna be back home
Stickers plastered on the roof
To McDonald's on the road
Kissed a girl her name was Goo
Bit off more than you could chew
I bit off more than I could chew
Took you downtown I know
There are some things I wish I never knew.
(you didn't wanna go)

Never thought we'd see the light
I just want to be alone
Broken, shattered, splintered light
I just wanna be back home
You're up late again, it's three
Try again it's more like four
Phone rings again, you know it's me.
I'm too tired to clear the floor.
I'm too tired to do much more
Can't go on, what the hell
I can't rest, I crashed on the floor.

Episode:
"Four Light Years Farther"
Scene: Nikita and Michael on their last drive together
Tomorrow Never Comes 
You're sailing away
To another shore
I heard it today
I can't tell you anymore
And I thought I saw your shadow in the street today
But that was yesterday
Oh that was yesterday

With a little courage and time
You might forgive me
With a little lovin' and time
You might forgive me

I leave me a door
It's been hard for you
And there's never an easy way to let it go
And I dreamt that you are tired like me you dreamt of me
But now I'm waking up
I think I'm waking up

With a little courage and time
You might forgive me
With a little lovin' and time
You might forgive me

And I thought I saw your jacket in my room today
But that was yesterday
Oh was that yesterday

With a little courage and time
You might forgive me
With a little lovin' and time
You might forgive me

With a little courage and time
You might forgive me
With a little lovin' and time

Episode:
"Escape"
Scene: Nikita thinks about Michael
Torn 
Slow motion of my heart
a drum for heaven's choir
I'm closer to the swelter
the shovel brings

The pound wants to escape with my life
Oh release come soon
I've opened the gate - to where they suffocate light
The pound wants to escape with my life
Oh release come soon
I've opened the gate now

It's colder than a funeral rain
now I'm frozen in more carved shame
the bullets through my shelter
hit the drum & my heart is the drum

choose, choose now, the pound wants to escape with my life
oh please come soon I've opened up the gate
the pound the pound the pound, my heart's a drum
