CRASH
Words and Music Stephen Randall
You could break every bone
Jumping off a ledge
And never hit the ground
You could fly close to the sun
Melt your pretty wings
And fall into my arms
Give in to everything
Throw caution to wind
And crash
We could crash
(If we need love)
We could crash
(If we feed love)
We could crash
(If we heed love)
We could crash
(If we bleed love)
I don't care if we crash
Just as long as we
Give it our best shot
It’s not that we could break
It’s just that we should make
The most of what we’ve got
Give in to everything
Throw caution to the wind
And crash
We could crash
(If we need love)
We could crash
(If we feed love)
We could crash
(If we heed love)
We could crash
(If we bleed love)

SLOWLY
Words and Music Stephen Randall
Shooting stars are falling by
A million light beams in the sky
Why does the world turn so slowly
Suns are burning up tonight
But they're still shining oh so bright
Why does the world turn so slowly
I don't want to wait another day
I don't want to wait another day
CHORUS
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Why does the world turn
Slowly, slowly, slowly
The moon has drawn so close to me
I could touch tranquility
Why does the world turn so slowly
The universe's mysteries
Are marked in time and history
Why does the world turn so slowly
I don't want to wait another day
I don't want to wait another day
CHORUS
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Why does the world turn
Slowly, slowly, slowly
We appear for an atom's death
And yet I wait to taste your breath
Why does the world turn so slowly

SCARS
Music and Words Stephen Randall
I am who I am
I can’t be any better man
The road I took at the start
Led me to this path
Led me to this path
Every turn and choice we make
Leaves its trace in the love we take
Our souls are seared through the years
But yesterday has gone
Yesterday has gone
CHORUS
We are our scars
They make you who you are
They make you who you are
We are our scars
They make you who you are
They make you who you are
To the motherless child
Don't be shackled to your pain
Believe in what you can do
And I'll be right there for you
Yeah I'll be right there for you
CHORUS
We are our scars
They make you who you are
They make you who you are
We are our scars
They make you who you are
They make you who you are

THE DEVIL INSIDE
Words and Music Stephen Randall
The Devil chooses every night
An innocent soul to excite
And this evening for his game
The girl that he would claim
Wouldn’t know she had the Devil inside
The girl wanted everything right
She even wanted to lose it wearing white
But she couldn’t understand
That the Devil had a plan
And tonight was going to be his night
CHORUS
She had the Devil standing there by her side
Smiling 'cos he knew what she liked
She had Devil standing there by her side
God in her heart
But the Devil came along for the ride
The satisfaction of the Devil incarnate
Was the reaction as he sealed her fate
And tonight with added flair
He wanted her to swear
She looked young but she wasn’t jailbait
CHORUS
She had the Devil standing there by her side
Smiling 'cos he knew what she liked
She had Devil standing there by her side
God in her heart
But the Devil came along for the ride

BATTLE
Words And Music Stephen Randall
Oh my pride is on the floor
And it's hurting where it didn't hurt before
And my dreams walked out the door
I won the battle but I lost the war
If I knew then what I know now
I would have backed down gracefully somehow
But the warnings I chose to ignore
I won the battle but I lost the war
Guess I was wrong when I was right
Would have been better to concede that fight
But now I know so much more
I won the battle but I lost the war
Guess I was wrong when I was right
Would have been better to concede that fight
But now I know so much more
I won the battle but I lost the war
I won the battle but lost the war

MELT
Words & Music Stephen Randall
You could stand close to me
And let that heart of ice melt
And when that heart of ice melts
You will melt into me
Melt
What we have is what we could be
And what we are is what we were
And when that heart of mine breaks
You will melt away
Melt
You are my misery
You are my ecstasy
You are my agony
You are my rhapsody
You are my insanity
You are my sanctuary
You are my tragedy
You are my vanity
You are my depravity
You are my fantasy
You are my casualty
You are my gravity
You will melt into me
I will melt into you
You will melt into me
I will melt into you

CHINA SHOP
Words and Music Stephen Randall
You were the china
And I was the bull
In the china shop
China shop
China shop
You saw me coming
But you did nothing
To make me stop
Make me stop
Make me stop
CHORUS
Well I broke it
And now I must
Pay for it
Pay for it
You should have hung
A warning sign
On your fragile heart
Fragile heart
Fragile heart
They say opposite
Forces attract
But they tore us apart
Tore us apart
Tore us apart
CHORUS
Well I broke it
And now I must
Pay for it
Yes, I broke it
And now I must
Pay for it
You were like porcelain
Strong enough
Until it’s dropped
Until it’s dropped
Until it’s dropped
You were the china
And I was the bull
In the china shop
China shop
China shop
CHORUS
Well I broke it
And now I must
Pay for it
Yes, I broke it
And now I must
Pay for it

TIN MAN
Words and Music by Stephen Randall
I’ve been wanting to discover
My own yellow brick road
Fighting to find myself
Hoping to crack the code
But I’m not the tin man
'Cos the tin man wanted a heart
I’m not the tin man
I wouldn't even know where to start
CHORUS
Oh I know I know
Oh I know I know
Oh I know I know
Oh I know I know
I’m not in Kansas anymore
I'm nowhere close to home
This road has no exits
This road goes on and on
But I'm not the scarecrow no
I don't have his brains
I'm not lion no
I'm not brave
CHORUS
Oh I know I know
Oh I know I know
Oh I know I know
Oh I know I know
I'm not the tin man

THE SNOW THAT DECEMBER (WAS BEAUTIFUL AT FIRST)
Words and Music Stephen Randall
The last leaf of Autumn
Drifted to the earth
The last leaf of Autumn
Drifted to the earth
Winter, she was calling
With her very first frost
The snow that December
Was beautiful at first
A chill hung in the air
And was welcome for a while
A chill hung in the air
And was welcome for a while
The nights grew longer
And the days reversed
The snow that December
Was beautiful at first
The snow that December
Was beautiful at first
The snow that December
Was beautiful at first
The year that was coming
Was possibly our worst
But the snow that December
Was beautiful at first

THE BRIEFEST TIME
Words & Music by Stephen Randall
Your candle shines
For the briefest time
And when its flame is fading out
It leaves its light behind
There are no answers
And only error in our design
Like the candle that shone for you
You leave your light behind
For the briefest time
We knew you
For the briefest time
But nothing really matters
It only lives there in our minds
We didn't climb the highest heights
We weren't first to cross the line
But you never stopped believing
You had no reason and no rhyme
And you made us what we are today
You leave your light behind
For the briefest time
We knew you
For the briefest time
For the briefest time
We knew you
For the briefest time
And when the flame was weak
And the light was growing dim
We seemed to see more clearly then
The pain we held within
Your candle shines
For the briefest time
And when its flame is fading out
It leaves it's light behind
For the briefest time
We knew you
For the briefest time
For the briefest time
We knew you
For the briefest time

NAIVE
Words & Music by Stephen Randall
Am I a fool
For having a dream?
Believing in alchemy
Building my legacy
Ignoring reality
Living the fantasy
Succumbing to vanity
Am I the biggest fool you know?
CHORUS
Oh naïve
Why do you give yourself to me?
Oh naïve
Are you the better man than me?
‘cos I'm still not giving in
Oh naïve
Am I a fool
For playing the game?
For leading a strategy
Wrestling with gravity
Writing my destiny
Bleeding so easily
And screaming so peacefully
Am I the biggest fool you know?
CHORUS
Oh naïve
Why do you give yourself to me?
Oh naïve
Are you the better man than me?
‘cos I'm still not giving in
Oh naïve
Am I a fool
For staying the course?
Armed with audacity
Seeking validity
Teaching tenacity
Living so recklessly
Speaking too honestly
I must be the biggest fool you know
CHORUS
Oh naïve
Why do you give yourself to me?
Oh naïve
Are you the better man than me?
‘cos I'm still not giving in
Oh naïve

STILL
Words & Music by Stephen Randall
Be still
You restless soul
Be still
Be still
You restless soul
Be still
I may never
Be fulfilled
But I don't believe
That it's God's will
Be still
You restless soul
Be still
Be still
You restless soul
Be still

Stephen Randall Henderson, Nevada
I'm a Brit living in Henderson, NV.
I used to be a professional songwriter, but when I wrote
for other people, I lost touch with the music that was important to me personally. I forgot what music fed my soul. I put down my guitar and keyboard to pursue other adventures. Now I write from my heart and experience and for me.
