Without You
Hey you, wake up, get yourself together
Yeah you, so you think you made it better
'cause you know it's coming at you
While your back is turned
Look too long and I can't help you
So clear your head, find a way home
Better make up your mind

First you say that you will
Then you say you won't
Well I'm just trying to figure
Try and figure you out

How long can this go on
Tell me what is wrong
And maybe there's a way
That we can work it out

There must be some kind of way
That we can make it right
But i, I just can't do it all
Without you, without you

Hey fool, wise up, better late than never
Yeah you, you know that nothing lasts forever
Nobody ever told you that your
Time is running out
Too bad and I can't help you

How long can this go on
Tell me what is wrong
And maybe there's a way
That we can work it out

There must be some kind of way
That we can make it right
But i, I just can't do it all
Without you, without you

The point I'm trying to make
You got to give more than you take
You gotta give, give more than you take
Gotta, gotta, gotta work it out

One I Want
Poorman, he just want a little
Richman, want a little bit more
Superman, he looking for lois
Salesman, try and sell you his soul
Fatman, he's ordering seconds
Pizzaman, just wanna slice
Badman, looking for attention
A goodman, he's hard to find

Mailman, looking more like your daughter
Strawman, don't have a leg to stand on
Gayman, looking for another
Candyman, yeah the candyman can
Blackman, he looking for justice
Whiteman, try to get a tan
Woman, just wanna fly in first class
Holyman, take me to the promise land

Everyone's looking for something
Wanting their piece of the pie
Searching for their slice of heaven
I gotta have mine, yeah mine

And you're the one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)
Yeah, the one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)

Boogieman, he giving me the creeps
Sandman, kicking mud in your eye
Pianoman, in the mood for a melody
Strongman, yeah he knows how to cry
Apeman, ain't nobody's uncle
A luckyman don't always know who they are
Deadman, living for tomorrow
Wiseman, following a star

Well I ain't saying I'm different
Wanting my pie in the sky
I'm just a little impatient
Until I get mine, yeah mine

And you're the one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)
Yeah, yeah the one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)

Yeah!
The one I want!
The one I want!

The only one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)
Yeah, yeah the one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)

The only one I want (the one I want)
The only one I want (the one I want)
Yeah, yeah the one I want (want)
The only one I want (want)

Yeah, the one I want (want)
Want! want! yeah! yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!

Hey-hey-hey! oh!
Yeah!

From Afar
If I cannot see you from afar
Look into your eyes, that hint of depth
Hidden inside

If I cannot hear you from afar
Whisper in my ear, rest assured that
You are near

And I know not what it's like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
Just to love you
From afar

If I cannot kiss you from afar
Press against your lips, taste the
Sweetness of your breath

If I cannot touch you from afar
Hold you in my arms, keep you warm
And safe from harm

Though our circumstances
Cause separation
In the absence
There's a presence in my heart
I will surrender, I'll surrender to my
Quiet contemplation
My quiet contemplation
I'll just, I'll just love you
From afar

There must be a better way
A better way of passing the time
'cause' I can't seem to get her out
Get her out of my mind

Dirty Water Dog
No candidate would I support
His platform could I endorse
Another accomplice slinging dirt
Campaign promises falling short
I don't belong to any race
Pledge allegiance to a place
No borderline in the sand I'd trace
I'm just a sucker for a pretty face

Uncomfortable in the realm of the political
Position's always been a little left of cynical
I'm fundamentally for the individual
Preoccupied purely with the physical

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a hound dog chasing a bird
Sometimes a certain tom's gotta peep
I'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

I don't wanna find religion
Or another man's opinion
I can't choose what's not my decision
When there's only one under the sun
There's no need to be denied
Chew before swallowing pride
I want to live so let me die
Oh by the way, what's your sign?

Can't comprehend the meaning of the metaphysical
I'd rather leave that to your so-called intellectual
But what I do know I know feels only natural
I'm just a red-blooded heterosexual

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a dirty water doggin' a bird
Sometimes a certain tom's he gotta peep
I'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a dirty water doggin' a bird
Sometimes a certain tom's he gotta peep
I'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, like a hound dog, chasin' a bird

And I think I like
A dirty water dog
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

Once
Once embraced, can't ever be let go
Once revealed, can't ever be not shown
Once believed, can't ever lose faith
Once shared, can't ever be separate
Once sown, once can't ever be not reaped

Like the dawn of a brand new day
With the power of deity
Well, I can feel it inside of me
Feel it. can you feel it?

Once born, can't ever be not conceived
Once present, can't ever be past
Once first, once can't ever be not everlast

Returning home of the prodigal
Holding the intangible
To believe in a miracle
Believe it. can you believe it?

Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-oh-oh, can you tell me?

Once seen, can't ever lose sight
Once dawn, can't ever be not light
Once, once felt, once felt
Can't ever be untouched

The assurance only hope can bring
With the conviction of the unseen
See it's greater than everything
See it, oh can you see it?

Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa-oh really, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-ooh-oh oh, can you tell me?
Have you ever really touched love once?

(oh!)

Oh! have you ever been touched?
Once whoa-oh-oh really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
I don't know. did you tell me?
Have you ever really touched
Once. whoa-oh really, really touched?

Could it ever be too much?
Oh-ooh somebody tell me
Have you ever really touched
Love once?

Ah, have you ever really touched
Love once?
Have you ever really touched love
Touched love?
Woooo-ooooo
Woooo-ooooo
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Wooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo-oooo
Oh, love once. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Fire in the Hole
In a word to the wisdom tooth
To tell, or not the truth
So open up and say ahh-men
Rinse cup, then spit again

Forked tongue in double speak
Pretty soon you just might
Spring a leak
Inhale before you begin
Your iron lung's a bag of wind

There's a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole
There's a fire in the hole, fire

Sweet 'n' sour, filiblister
Faucet pouring, fresh 'n' bitter
Come on smile and say cheese
On a count of three
Got a mindful of decavities

Chew your words, lest you choke
You better watch your mouth
Wash it out with soap
Tongue tied in a tangled web
Your bile inside better left unsaid

There's a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole
There's a fire in the hole, fire

Rudder of ship, which sets the course
Does not the bit, bridle the horse
Great is the forest, set by a small flame
Like a tongue on fire, no one can tame

Josephina
Josephina, there's so much I want to know
I've known you for all of mine
But not all of yours
You're not a stranger
No, nothing could be further
I look back and I wonder
What you were like, long before

Josephina, if I asked you, would you tell me?
The fact from the fancy
And the dreams in between
Tell me a story
All about yours truly
Photographs from the past
Imagine the mystery

Didja get your head lost in a daydream?
Cinderella, waiting for her charming
Did ya break a heart, like little girls often do?
Pigtails and painted toes
All dressed up in your mother's clothes
Can you shine the light?
Ah, can you shine the light?
Oh, please can you shine some light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow

Josephina, would you lay down your defenses?
So I can make sense of
Those colors fading to grey
It's not that you're hiding
Something, I'd never imply
Yesteryear I may be gone
Can't say the same for today

Yeah, josephina!

Ah, josephina!

How else am I to know, that all the while
There was a mischievous look, behind that smile?
It's hard to tell, when innocence comes and goes
I'm sure that there were times, life could be unkind
Without a shoulder to cry on
Can you shine the light?
Ah, can you shine the light?
Yeah, please can you shine some light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow

(ah-ah-ah)
(ah-ah-ah)
(ah-ah-ah)

Year to the Day
I woke up to yet another day
Grown to expect
Expect more of the same
Except for, for a subtle change
And that is, I'm slowly fading away

Harvest moon, soon will pass
Crop is gone, left only chaff
A bitter pill, and an overcast
A flag unfurled, at half mast

A year to the day
Since you went away
A moment in time
When you were last mine
I'm here standing still
With more time to kill
I barely survived
I barely survived

Like pouring salt on an open wound
Memory filling
Filling this empty room
I'm as bare, I'm as bare
As a barren womb
Still like the air
In a whitewash tomb

A year to the day
Since you went away
A moment in time
When you were last mine
I'm here standing still
With more time to kill
I barely survived
I barely survived
Three sixty-five

Ballot or the Bullet
Give me liberty or give me death
No truer words have ever been said
Well are you prepared for your very last breath?
Don't you dare start what you cannot finish

So when we face, face the adversary
No longer are we the minority

And when history repeats her hour
The pendulum will swing, swing into power
Though not in vain like our forefathers
Freedom, never had no room for cowards

For in the end, there will be equality
By any means necessary

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand

What's it gonna take to liberate?
An emancipation, a false proclamation?
All these token words that you legislate
Sound a little bit absurd. hey! and a little too late

When a house is divided, it just will not stand
Once it's decided, a line drawn in the sand

Ah! the ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
Held, held by the same hand!

How Many Say I
Are you ever so silent, when she wanted to talk
Or couldn't keep quiet, when she needed a hug
Come on too strong, when a little's too much
How many, how many, say i

Go on and say yes, and really mean no
Would you rather guess, when you just don't know
And then say I love you, but aren't willing to show
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i

How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i

Say live and let live, then so quick to judge
Slow to forgive, when you're holding a grudge
Don't always believe, all you need is love
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i

How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i

Did you ever look down when the homeless walked by
Or changed the channel when you saw a hungry child
Know something to be true, then deny
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i

Humans Being

(off the twister soundtrack)
There is just enough christ in me
To make me feel almost guilty
Is that why God made us breed
To make us see we're humans being
You break this, I'll break all that
You break my balls with all your crap
Spread your disease like lemmings breeding
That's what makes us humans being
Shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on
Some low life flat head scum infects
The sickness in his eyes reflects
You wonder why your life is screaming
Wonder why we're humans being
Shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on
Humans
Humans being
We're just humans, humans being
That's what makes us
Humans being......

The Seventh Seal
Walk me down to the wishing well
Help me find that miracle
Splash that holy water on me
Drown my faith in trinity, yeah!
Oh yeah

Little by little, gonna get it, I swear
One more piece of the puzzle, I'm there
Gotta get lucky, gotta get that done
Little bit of luck never hurts no one

Come on take me down, down, down...
I'm in a cold sweat
Lord don't let me drown, drown, drown, drown
In mother earth's soul, yet

Under darken skies
We'll see the light

Broken now I can't help but feel
Someone cracked the seventh seal
Nothing sacred, nothing left unturned
When nothing's simple
Then nothing's learned

So take me down to the virgin spring
Wash away my suffering, oh
Splash that holy water on me
Wash my eyes so I can see

Come on take me down, down, down...
I'm in a cold sweat
Yeah, don't let me drown, drown, drown, drown
In mother earth's soul, not yet
Lord I think I found, found, found
My mother lode, hey

Down, down, down, down, down,down
Take me down, down, down, down...
Take me

Can't Stop Loving You
There's a time and place for everything, for everyone
We can push with all our might, but nothin's gonna come
Oh no, nothin's gonna change
And if I asked you not to try
Oh could you let it be
I wanna hold you and say
We can't throw this all away
Tell me you won't go, you won't go
Do you have to hear me say

I can't stop lovin' you
And no matter what I say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can't stop loving you

You change your friends, your place in life
You can change your mind, we can change the way we say
And do anytime
Oh no, but I think you'll find
That when you look inside your heart
Oh baby, I'll be there, yeah

Hold on
I'm holding on
Baby, just come on, come on, cdome on
I just wanna hear you say

I can't stop lovin' you
And no matter what you say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can't stop lovin' you

Oh, I'm so twisted and tied
And all I remember
Was how hard we tried
Only to surrender

And when it's over
I know how it's gonna be
And true love will never die
No, not fade away

And I can't stop lovin' you
No matter what I say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can't stop lovin' you

And I know what I got to do
Hey Ray, what you said is true
I can't stop lovin' you, oh
Oh, I can't stop lovin' you

Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)
It's ok, I'll do what I want
If I choose, I can take the fall
There's a choice, it's my destiny
In my hands, yeah it's up to me
I can drive
I can shoot a gun in the streets
Score me some heroin
I can jump, be the sacrifice
Bear the cross, just like Jesus Christ

And I don't wanna hear
What love can do
No, I ain't gonna tell you
What's right for you

Is it right to take the easy way
Close your eyes
Get on your knees an' pray
Now you're saved by a higher voice
givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choise
If I'm wrong, then I'll pay for it
It I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it
But I've tried, yeah I've tried for it
I tried, I tried, 'til I'm satisfied

And I...
I'm tired of hearing what love can do
And I...
Ain't gonna tell you what's right for you

I've seen the damage done
Down with the shotgun
Don't stop the setting sun on my Kingdom Come ohhh...

Is it right to take the easy way
I don't know, I get on my knees an' pray
Now I'm saved by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up my choise
If I'm wrong, then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah you're gonna deal with it
'Cause I tried, yeah I tried for it
I'll try, I'll try, even die for it

No I...
Don't wanna hear what love can do
No I...
I can't tell you what's right for you
Oh I...I...I...
Tell you what love can do
No I...I...I...
Can't say but your time is through

I've seen the damge done
Oh Lord, I've heard the shotgun
I fought the setting sun
On my Kingdom Come ohhh...

Amsterdam
Looking good through the window
Shinin' red and blue light

But still lookin' allright, yeah

Got a pocket full of money
Got me a long night ahead
A quick stop by the Bulldog

Wham, bam, oh Amsterdam, yeah, yeah, yeah

Big Fat Money
Some say money is bad for the soul
Bad for the rock, bad for the roll
Bad for the heart, bad for the brain
Bad for damn near everything, oh yeah

It must be good for something
Come on pay the rent

Telephone, telefax, telefunkin' teletrash
Tell a cop, tell a friend
Think we've hit the stoney end
Nothin' left, nothin' right
Now they want a bigger bite
Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some big money, oh yeah
They want big fat money
That's what I want
Big fat money

Too much temptation
Enough to kill a generation
Space station, starvation, premature ejaculation
This ain't groovin', this ain't funky
It's on my back
But it ain't my monkey, no
Oh yeah, gimme some of that big big money
That's what I want
Big fat money
Big fat money

Smoke this, eat that
My ol' lady's gettin' fat
High rise, high rent
Before it's earned, it's all been spent
Where's it gonna come from?
Who's it gonna go to?
Ain't beatin', but I'm being eatin' by money, oh yeah
Big big money, gimme, gimme, gimme
Some of that big money, alright

Gimme big fat money
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme some of that big fat money

Not Enough
To love somebody naturally
To love somebody faithfully
To love somebody equally
Is not enough
Is not enough
It's not enough

To love somebody secretly, and never touch
To love somebody honestly, and allways trust
To love somebody tenderly, the tender touch
It's not enough
It's not enough

Love hurts you sometimes
It's not so easy to find, no
Searchin' everywhere
You turn and swear
It's always been there

To love somebody foolishly, can happen once
To love somebody hopelessly, it hurts so much
To love somebody equally
Is not enough
Is not enough
It's not enough

Love takes a little time
It's no so easy to find, no
Searchin' everywhere
You turn and swear
She's always been there
Standin' there...oh

And if it don't come easily
One thing you must believe
You can always have trust in me
Because my heart will allways be, yours honestly

Yeah, love hurts you sometimes
Not so easy to find, no
Searchin' everywhere
Then turn and swear
It's always been there
Standing there

Love hurts you sometimes
Not yours, it's not mine, no
Love's only to share
Turn and swear
It's everywhere
Standing there
'Cause it's always been there

Aftershock
I don't care about the way that ya treated me
And I ain't crying 'bout the love I'm paying for
No I ain't bitchin' 'bout the things
You puttin' down here in the streets
No, I ain't going 'round saying things
About you I can't repeat

Hey, it ain't gonna change overnight
No
And it ain't goin' away without a fight
No

Now I ain't saying that I'm never
Gonna beg you, oh baby come back
But right now now, baby
I don't really want to see your face
Yeah, and that's a fact
Right now, honey
All I know is what I'm feeling inside
Right now, baby
I'm all alone and I'm swallowing a lot of pride

And it ain't gonna change overnight
No
And it ain't goin' away without a fight

Living with the aftershock
Why, why, why, I never thought
She'd walk
But now I'm living with the aftershock

And if it ain't gonna change
It ain't goin' away, no

Yeah, she opened up my eyes
Seeing what I wanna see
She kinda took me by surprise
Showed me what I hadn't seen, yeah, yeah
Living with the aftershock

Yeah, yeah, living with the aftershock
My, my,my, I guess that I never thought she'd walk
Living with the aftershock

And it ain't gonna change
It ain't goin' away
I said it ain't gonna change without a fight
I'm living with the aftershock
I'm living with the aftershock
Never gonna change

Take Me Back (Deja Vu)
I thought I saw you from a distance
I swore I'd find you once again
Touched that feelin' for an instance
Could not recall just where or when
Oh no

Some desert island off Marocco
We had a love so hard to find
Oh so full of life, so free and easy
Another place, another time, oh

Take me back
I wanna be there with you
It happened just like that yeah
Slip in a dream or two
Come on, take me back
Oh, deja vu

One soul, one mind
One light that shines
One love so fine
Oh, come on, take me back

Some call it fate, some superstition
Some call it luck, it's all the same
Just one of the mysteries of creation
Something you feel but can't explain

Oh, take me back
I wanna be there with you
It happened just like that, baby
I've fallin' deep into

Oh girl, come on
I want you to take me there
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know...

Come on, take me back, baby
I swear I've been with you
It happened just like that
Send me a dream or two
Come on take me back
Oh, deja vu

Feelin'
Outta touch most of the time
Gotta lotta things on my mind
Kickin' down, where to start
It's the hardest thing
Oh...

Grow it long, shave it off
Life is hard, never soft
I need a change, I need it quick
Before it makes me sick
That's what on my mind

Pay attention, watch your back
Pay your dues, stay on track
Got no room to second-guess
Puts me under stress
Oh...
If I were you, you were me
I wonder who I'd wanna be
With just one wish you can't refuse
I wouldn't know what to choose

Feelin'...no, don't like what I've been told I'm feelin'
Feelin' what no one else will ever know I'm feelin'
Oh...

Now black is white and white is black
Got politicians smokin' crack
And John Paul's all bullet-proofed
It puts me through the roof
Yea...

I were you and you were me
I wonder who I'd rather be
If I had one wish I'd take it

Feelin'...oh, I don't like what I've been told I'm feelin'
And I'm seein'
What no one else will ever know I'm seein'
Come on, feelin'
Hey, I don't understand these things I'm feelin'
No...

Outta touch most all the time
Too many things on my mind
Shuttin' down, gotta stop this thing

Feelin'...no, I don't like what I've been told I'm feelin'
I'm bleeding...like no one else will ever know I'm bleeding
Dealin'...I'm dealin' with these things I'm feelin'
I'm dreamin', I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming things that show
me what I'm seein'
Seein'...I'm seein' things that I don't know I'm feelin'
I've been feelin', I'm feelin', I'm feelin' things that I
don't know
I don't know, I don't know what I'm feelin'
Hey, I don't understand

Pleasure Dome
Now I know none of this was planned, it all just kinda happened
I got more than I wanted, but how is still a mystery
Obsessed with this feeling, I trusted it, so I followed it
I'm tripping and stumbling across the land, full of miracles
Into a world so far from home, miles and miles from nowhere
Rooms without doors open for me, oh no
Taking me miles and miles from nowhere
Oh (miles and miles), oh yeah
Lost in this pleasure dome, lost in my own pleasure dome
Oh man, I ain't got a clue, how you get out, or how to find this place
I want my control back, but I'm afraid, I'll lose that feeling
Lost in a world so far from home, I'm miles and miles from nowhere
Falling inside my own pleasure dome, I'm miles and miles from nowhere
Oh (miles and miles), oh yeah
Lost in this pleasure dome, lost inside my pleasure dome
(solo)
Lost in a world, can't find my way home, miles and miles from nowhere
Falling inside my own pleasure dome, miles and miles from nowhere

Lost, lost

One more payment, lay it down, on the ground
Same amount, in 'n' out

Mine All Mine
Forgive me father
For I have sinned
I've been through hell and back again
Shook hands with the devil
Looked him in the eye
Looked like a long lost friend
Anything you want
Any dirty deeds
He's got everything
Except what I really need
Keepin' me temporarily satisfied
But not one thing I tried
Filled me up inside
Or felt like mine
Mine, all mine
Yeah, the search goes on
The more I look
My world keeps getting smaller
Staring at the sun
Searchin' for the light
Almost ended up blinded
Some only see
What they want to see
Claiming victory
Oh, but that's not me
Give me truth
Give me something real
I just want to feel
Like it's
Mine, all mine
Oh really mine, all mine
Come on give me something
Something that's mine, all mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
All the words on the wall
Look the same in the mirror
Every riddle
Every clue
You got allah in the east
You got jesus in the west
Christ, what's a man to do?
They'll find a cure for anything
Just kill the pain
Numb my brain
We see a man
Speaking the word of god
Provin' to be a fraud
His own church applauds
Stop lookin' out
Start lookin' in
Be your own best friend
Stand up and say
Hey! this is mine
All mine, all mine, all mine
Baby, you got something
And I got something
And it's mine, all mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
Yes, I'm searching
Mine, all mine
Got to have it
Mine, all mine
Mine, all mine

When It's Love
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
Somethin' to fill in the holes
We think a lot but don't talk much about it
'til things get out of control
How do I know when it's love
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love
It's just something you feel together
When it's love
You look at every face in a crowd
Some shine and some keep you guessin'
Waiting for someone to come into focus
Teach you your final love lesson
How do I know when it's love
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love
It's just something you feel together
Oh oh oh oh
Oh when it's love
Oh oh oh oh
You can feel it yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Nothing's missing
Yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Nothing's missing
How do I know when it's love,
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
When it's love
When it's love
It'll last forever
When it's love
You and i
We're gonna feel this thing together
When it's love
When it's love
You can feel it
We'll make it last forever
When it's love

A.F.U. (Naturally Wired)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!
90 days on the road is what I need
When my axe cuts me deep, I let it bleed
On the stage, off my strings, down my face
And all over me. Yeah!

Pumpin' up for the show
Feelin' like somethin's gonna blow

S'got me all fired up
Yes I'm all fired up

Through the ice into the fire
Blowin' steam
North n' South, East n' West, right n' left
I'm always extreme

Don't like the middle squeezin' me
I don't like nothin' in between

Yes, I'm all fired up
Got me all fired up

When the rest have packed it up
I'm alive, I'm electric, inspired

I, I'm naturally wired
Wired! naturally wired, oh

Feels So Good
Yesterday I saw my love light shine
Straight ahead in front of me
You never really know
When love will come or go
But yesterday I was alone
Suddenly I walked you home
I never really knew
What love could make me do
I'll send the message in a bottle
Trust in the mercy of the sea
Stormy weather, oh yeah
Waitin' for love to set me free
Everyday I watch the tide roll in
Stay until it rolls away
Though nothing's on the shore
I'm running back for more
I'll send the message in a bottle
Pray for the mercy of the sea
Stormy weather, oh yeah
Waitin' for love to rescue me
Feels so good, feels so nice
When love comes around
I feel good, so good, so good, so good
It feels so nice, so nice

Sucker In A 3 Piece
She's so fine
How about a 9 on a 10 scale
With long legs straight on up to her lunch pail
Sweet little wishbone, oh yeah
Don't wanna break her in half
Lick up one side and down the other
Always makes her laugh
She take me down, down, down to the bottom
I got everything you wanted
Give you everything you need
Still you want that sugar daddy over me
She want a sucker, sucker in a 3 piece
A sucker all dressed up in a 3 piece suit
I'm on fire with just one look
Got me a brand new number
In my little black book
But she don't like the way I dress
She don't like the way I wear my hair
But when I roll you over baby, you don't care
Just take me down, down, down, down to the bottom
Give me everything I want
Give me everything I want
You don't want that sugar daddy, not over me
She want a sucker, sucker in a 3 piece
A sucker all dressed up in a 3 piece suit
Oh say it isn't so, baby
You wanna sucker
He just a sucker
He just a sucker
Look at all that money, baby
Ya know your sugar daddy
You're a sugar mama
You're both a bunch of suckers
Oh how he got a big ole belly
A stone bald head
Now, listen here, honey
That ain't down your alley, no
He's just a sucker in a 3 piece
Sucker in a 3 piece suit
Sucker.
Stone cold, sugar daddy
Sucker all dressed up in a 3 piece suit

A Apolitical Blues
Well my telephone was ringing and
They told me it was chairman mao
Well my telephone was ringing and
They told me it was chairman mao
You got to tell him anything 'cause
I just don't want to talk to him now
I have a apolitical blues and
It's the meanest blues of all
I have a apolitical blues and
It's the meanest blues of all
I don't care if you're john wayne
I just don't want to take no calls
No calls

U.s. prime, grade a stamped guaranteed

Throw it down and roll it over once or twice
Then chow down
Chorus:
She's good enough, good enough to huh!
I can't get enough, I can't get enough
She's good enough to huh!
Hey me yea I been working up an appetite

Then it's 3-6-9 times
Chorus
Hey waitress you got any specials here tonight
Me and the fellas might be interested in
Rack a what
Well I'll have some of that

And she's comin' she's comin'
So come on, come on, come on cause she's
Good, good, good enough

Felt so much
Chorus 1:
No I can't recall any love at all
Baby this blows 'em all away
Chorus 2:

So tell me why can't this be love
Straight from my heart oh tell me why

Get Up
Chorus 1:
Feel like throwing in the towel don't be a fool
They're out to knock you out, put you down
For the count
Watch the left, watch the right, below
The belt
They'll run you round and round it's plain to see
It's never gonna stop they'll run ya till you drop
There ain't no power around can keep a good man down
Chorus 2:
There's still some fight in me
That's how it'll always be
Hold your head up high, look 'em in the eye, never say die
Get up and make it work
You say that love has got you down well that's bull
If love has got you down then love can pick you right back up
There ain't no power around can keep a good man down
Walking down a dead end street
No mercy at your feet
They're holding all the cards, making things so hard, before it goes too far
Get up and make it work
Get up and make it work
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Get up and make it work
Get up and make it work
Get up and make it work

Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin down
Better change your tune
Reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby just spread your wings
Chorus:
We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind
Run, run, run, away
Like a train runnin off the track
The truth gets left behind
And falls between the cracks
Standing on broken dreams
But never losing sight
Spread your wings
Chorus
So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby we belong in a world that must be strong
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Solo
Chorus
Higher and higher who knows what we'll find
And in the end on dreams we will depend
Cause thats what love is made of

Summer Nights
Ain't no way I'm stayin' home tonight
I'll be out until the mornin' light
Just hangin' 'round the local parking lot
Checkin' out the girls see what they got
Yea they love it when me and the boys
Start playin' love with them human toys
Yea we just wind 'em up and let 'em go, oh yea
Chorus:
Summer nights and my radio
That's all we need baby don't cha know
We celebrate when the the gang's all here
Hot summer nights that's my time of the year
We made it through the cold
This freezin' snow is gettin' really old
Next year I'll head out for the coast
Say boys I think that might just call for a toast, yea

I'll meet you down at the ole fishing hole
Yea them girls are biting good tonight
Oh yea, uh oh, oh yea
Chorus

Best Of Both Worlds
I don't know what I been livin' on but it's
Not enough to fill me up
I need more than just words can say
I need everything this life can give me
Come on baby close your eyes let go
This can be everything we've dreamed
It's not work, that makes it work no
Let the magic do the work for you
Chorus 1:
Cause something heached out and touched me
Now I see that all I want...
Chorus 2:
I want the best of both worlds
And baby I know what it's worth

Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Solo
You don't have to die to go to heaven
Or hang around to be born again
Just tune into what this place has got to offer
Cause we may never be here again
Chorus 2

Love Walks In
Contact is all it takes
To change your life to lose your place in time
Contact! asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find
Questions deep within your eyes,
Things you've never realized
Chorus:
So when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange, love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Wait for the opening
Then simply pulls a string
Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces familiar sights
Reach back remember with all your might
Ohh there she stands in a silken gown
Silver lights shining down
Chorus
Love comes walkin' in
Solo
Sleep and dream is all I crave
I travel far across the milky way
To my master I become a slave
Til we meet again some other day
Where silence speaks as loud as war
And the earth returns to what it was before
Chorus
Love comes walkin' in

5150
The love line is never straight and narrow
Unless your love is tried and true
We take a chance with new beginnings
Still we try (Oooh)
Win or lose (Oooh)
Take the highs (Oooh)
With the blues (Oooh)

Always one more
You're never satisfied
Never one for all with you
It's only one for me
Oh, why draw the line?
Meet you half the way
And you don't know what that means
Oh, yeah

I feel like a running politician
Oh! Just tryin' to please you all the time
I given you my self with no conditions

Goin' wide (Oooh)
Runnin' long (Oooh)
Feelin' lost (Oooh)
But not for long (Oooh)

Always one more
You're never satisfied
Never one for all with you
It's only one for me
So, why draw the line?
Meet you half the way
When you don't know what that means
Whoa, yeah

(Guitar Solo)

Always one more
You're never satisfied
Never for all with you
It's only one for me
So, why draw the line?
Meet you half the way
When you don't know what that means

I'll meet you half the way
Whoa yeah!
I'll meet you half the way
Whoa!
I'll meet you half the way

Inside
It's not what you are
It's how you dress
That's one thing I've learned from the guys
I must confess
Now me, look, I got this job not just beeing myself
Huh uhh
I went out and bought some brand new shoes
Now I walk like someone else
Maybe I'm crazy or just too high
But all this can't be worth my
Piece of the pie
Sittin 'round just gettin' high
Temporarily pacified
I guess less is more
Something special, something new
Some brand new group to sink my teeth into
Sittin 'round just getting high
Temporarily pacified
Chorus:
That's what's going down on the inside
Don't let this get around to the outside
This ain't no party, this ain't no show!
So don't be tryin' to putt no mo jo on my butt, anyway

Jump
I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I've seen the toughest around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
Oh can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. jump !
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Aaa-ohh hey you ! how said that ?
Baby how you been ?
You say you don't know, you won't know
Until we begin.
Well can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. jump !
Go ahead, jump.
(guitar solo)
(keyboard solo)
Might as well jump. jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Get it and jump. jump !
Go ahead, jump.

Panama
Jump back, what's that sound ?
Here she comes, full blast and top down.
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue.
Model citizen zero discipline
Don't you know she's coming home with me?
You'l lose her in the turn.
I'll get her!
Panama, panama
Panama, panama
Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine.
Got the feel for the wheel, keep the moving parts clean.
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue,
Got an on-ramp comin' through my bedroom.
Don't you know she's coming home with me?
You'll lose her in the turn.
I'll get her!
Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight.
I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off of it.
Ah, you reach down, between my legs,
Ease the seat back.
She's blinding, I'm flying,
Right behind the rear-view mirror now.
Got the feeling, power steering,
Pistons popping, ain't no stopping now!
Panama, panama
Panama, panama

Top Jimmy
Some friends of mine, just the other night,
Went to hear this cool cat blow.
The say he sang so good that the roof fell in,
And they didn't even stop the show.
They don't remember the place, but they remember the face,
And now everybody wanna go.
Chorus:
Top jimmy cooks, top jimmy swings.
He's got the look. top jimmy, he's the king.
Jimmy on the television, famous people laughing with him,
Jimmy on the news at five.
Jimmy on the radio and even on the video,
That baddest cat alive.
Driving all the women crazy, only want jimmy-baby,
Love it when he rolls his eyes.
Chorus
(guitar solo)
Juke-joint jimmy is the latest thing,
He's got the sound that everybody digs.
And the joint been jumpin' when the band been pumpin'
And you know they're playing crazy gigs.
Well you ain't been living till you've seen the living thing,
Top jimmy and his rhythm pigs
Chorus

Drop Dead Legs
Drop dead legs, pretty smile,
Hurts my head, gets me wild.
Dig that steam, giant butt,
Makes me scream, I get nuh-nuh-nothing but the shakes over you
And nothing else could ever do.
Chorus:
You know that you want it.
I know what it is.
You know that you want it, baby,
When the night is through, will I still be loving you ?
Dig those moves, vam-pire
Set me loose, get it higher.
Throw my rope, loop-de-loop
Nice white teeth, betty boop.
Set it cool real heavy.
I ain't fooled, gettin' ready.
Chorus
(guitar solo)

Hot For Teacher
Spoken:
Oh wow, man !
Wait a second man. whaddaya think the teacher's gonna look like this year ?
My butt, man !
T-t-teacher stop that screaming, teacher don't you see ?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool.
Maybe I should go to hell, but I'm doin' well,
Teacher needs to see me after school.
Chorus:
I think of all the education that I missed.
But then my homework was never quite like this.
Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher.
I got it bad, so bad,
I'm hot for teacher.
Spoken:
Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back !
I brought my pencil
Gimme something to write on, man
I heard about your lessons, but lessons are so cold.
I know about this school.
Little girl from cherry lane, how did you get so bold ?
How did you know that golden rule ?
Chorus
(guitar solo)
Oh man, I think the clock is slow
I don't feel tardy
Class dismissed

I'll Wait
You've got me captured, I'm under your spell.
I guess I'll never learn.
I have your picture, yes I know it well.
Another page is turned.
Are you for real ? it's so hard to tell,
From just a magazine.
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells,
Look what that does to me.
Chorus:
I'll wait till your love comes down.
I'm coming straight for your heart.
No way you can stop me now,
As fine as you are.
I wrote a letter and told her these words,
That meant a lot to me.
I never sent it, she wouldn't have heard,
Her eyes don't follow me.
And while she watches I can never be free,
Such good photography !
Chorus
(guitar solo)
You can't imagine what your image means.
The pages come alive.
Your magic greets everyone who reads.
Heart-break in overdrive
Are you for real, it's so hard to tell,
From just a magazine.
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells,
Look what that does to me.
Chorus

Girl Gone Bad
Lazy eyes in the summer heat,
Fresh from outta town.
Now she's working on the street,
Shakin' poor boys down.
Chorus:
Girl gone bad
Girl gone bad
Found that girl with a lonesome john,
But she should've been with me.
Guess that woman fallen in love,
She don't work for free
Chorus
(guitar solo)

House Of Pain
Say you're gonna leave me cause I only tie you up.
Always love you tender but you only like it rough.
Woman where ya goin' why you're leaving me again.
Gonna pack your bags and leave this house of pain.
Heartaches all around me, how many times we cried.
Said she tried to leave me but her hands were always tied.
If I had it all to do I'd do it just the same.
Gonna fix it so you never leave this house of pain

Where Have All The Good Times Gone!
All my life I've never stopped to worry `bout a thing,
Open up and shout it out,an' never try to sing,
Wondering if I've done it wrong,
Will this depression last for long,wont you tell me,
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Once we had an easy ride and always felt the same,
Time was on our side and we had everything to gain,
This could be like yesterday,
Is thst me with your happydays,
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Ma and pa look back on all the things they used to do,
Never had no money and they always told the truth,
Daddy didnt need no little toys,
Mommy didnt need no little boys,wont you tell me,
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Ow!
Yesterday was such an easy game for you to play,
Ah but then lets face it,things are easier today,
Yes you need some bringing down,
Get your feet back on the ground,
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.

Hang 'Em High
Somewhere,lost it in a turn
Trouble seems to fit him like a glove.
First come,first served,he's serving it back,
Travels light,without a pack,without love.
He comes from nowhere,returns on his own,
Late for the hanging,yes he's heading for the moon
Hang `em high.
Leather,across his thighs,
Blasting out the night,he's terrified to drive.
One eye on the road, crashed upon his head,
One ear to the ground,he's listening to the dead.
He comes from nowhere,returns on his own,
Late for the hanging,yes he's heading for the moon
Hang `em high.
Alone to himself,he's laughing up his sleeve,
Looking back in anger,the city is rleaved.
Vision of light,
Child of the night,
Passing by.

Cathedral
[instrumental]

Secrets
She ain't waiting til she gets older,
Her feet are making tracks in teh winter snow,
She got a rainbow that touches her shoulder,
She be headed where the thunder rolls,
Ah,ah,ah
She got rhythm,
Got that rhythm,of the road
Ah,ah,ah
She get crazy,
Woman get crazy if she cant go
Ah but ah,she just looking good.
She comes like the secret wind
Shes as strong as the mountains,walks tall as a tree.
She been there before,she'll never give in,
She'll be gone tomorrow like the silent breeze.
Ah,ah,ah
She got rhythm,
Got that rhythm,of the road
Ah,ah,ah
She get crazy,
She get crazy if she cant go
Ah but ah,she just looking good.
You know how sometimes,you got to rush,
You're running blind,but she jumps the gun.
Question is,not does love exist,but when,she leaves,where she goes.
I got a feeling she don't know either,
Wait like the wind,watch where she blows.
Oh,oh, got that rhythm,
That sweet rhythm,of the road
Oh,oh,oh she get crazy,
Woman get crazy,if she cant go
Oh,oh a looking good
Ah yes!

Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)
Well, I went down yonder in Louisville
Lived a cat named Big Bad Bill
I wants ta tell ya
Ah, the cat was rough and tough he would strut his stuff
Had the whole town scared to death
When he walked by, they all held their breath
He's a fightin' man, sure enough
And then Bill got himself a wife, now he leads a different life

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
Married life done changed him somehow
He's the man the town used to fear
Now they all call him Sweet Papa Willy Dear
Stronger than Sampson I declare
'Til a brown-skinned woman's bobbed his hair

Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore (No, no, no)
He's doin the dishes an' moppin' up that floor (Yes he is)
Well he used to go out drinkin' lookin' for a fight

Mean Street
At night I walk this stinkin' street past the crazies on my block
And I see the same old faces and I hear that same old talk
And I'm searching for the latest thing, a break in this routine
I'm talkin' some new kicks, ones like you ain't never seen
This is home, this is Mean Street
(This is) Yes-ah home, the only one I know

An' we don't worry 'bout tomorrow 'cause we're sick of these four walls
Now what you think is nothin' might be somethin' after all
Now you know this ain't no through street, the end is dead ahead
The poor folks play for keeps down here, they're the living dead

Come on down, (Huh! Ow!) down (This is) to Mean Street
They're dancin' now, look! Out on Mean Street
Dance baby!

(Guitar Solo)

It's always here and now my friend, it ain't once upon a time
It's all over but the shouting, I come to take what's mine
We're searchin' for the latest thing, a break in this routine
Talkin' some new kicks, ones like you ain't never seen

This is home, (Ooh) this is Mean Street
(This is) Yes-ah home, only one I know

(This is home) See, a gun is real easy
(This is Mean Street) in this desperate part of town
(This is home) Turns you from hunted into hunter (Yeah)
(This is Mean Street) You go an' hunt somebody down
Wait a minute, ah (This is home) Somebody said "Fair warning", Lord
(This is Mean Street) Lord, strike that poor boy down!

Dirty Movies

Lights, camera, action!

Sinner's Swing
All right, you sinners, swing!
Danger in the rearview mirror
There's trouble in the wind
Badness bringing up the rear
The menace's loose again
She looks so fuckin' good
So sexy and so frail
Something got the bite on me
I'm goin' straight to hell
And now we're wasting time
Same old pickup lines
And you keep trying
Don't waste time
Come back to your senses, baby
We can come to terms
I can almost taste it
It burns
You'd be sitting pretty
But you try to take the fifth
Wearin' out my welcome
Guess I better say my prayers
And now we're wasting time
Same old pickup lines
And you keep trying
Don't waste time
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Soon you'll see my silhouette
Darkenin' your door
I can almost taste it
I want more
No one's above suspicion
No one's got it wired
I'll eat with my fingers
Want my iron in that fire
And now we're wasting time
Same old pickup lines
And you keep trying
Don't waste time
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Hear About It Later
Ain't got no money, got no house on the hill
Tell me, honey, will your lovin' pay my bills?
Neighbors gettin' crazy 'bout the noise next door
It's a major violation, carried away for sure
See, I've been tried and convicted, it's winner take all
I want a run for my money, that's all
I don't wanna hear about it later
I don't wanna, baby I don't wanna

I don't wanna hear about it later
I don't wanna, baby I don't wanna
I don't wanna hear about it later
I don't wanna, baby I don't wanna
You can try me at home, if it feels all right
But I ain't home at night
You can try me at home, if it feels all right
But I ain't home at night
I don't wanna, I'll do what I please
I don't wanna, I'll maybe do a look 'n move
Yeah, don't look at me baby
Yes, I better take my chances
I, I been dreaming 'bout tomorrow
I don't, I don't, I don't
I don't wanna hear about that, no

Unchained
You said
I cannot get there from here, baby
And I don't care where I'm goin'
Here's to your thin red line
I'm stepping over
Thought you'd never miss me

Non-stop talker, what a rocker!
Blue eyed murder in a size 5 dress
Change, nothing stays the same
Unchained, yeah you hit the ground running
Change, and nothing stays the same
Unchained, yeah you hit the ground running
No, I don't ask for permission
This is my chance to fly
Maybe enough ain't enough for you
But it's my turn to try
Thought you'd never miss me

Non-stop talker, what a rocker!
Blue-eyed murder in a side-swiped dress

Push Comes To Shove
Does it seem cold in here to you?
What's there to do tonight, anything?
Give me another cigarette
Is there anything left in that bottle?
Yeah-give it here
Some people live apart;
They break your heart so damn easy
And then one night in sunny victory
She decides and you agree, she's leaving
Will you ever be the same?
Will you ever be the same?
That's when push comes to shove
I believe it was inevitable
That's when push comes to shove
Could this be the one that got away?
I get the message
Guess I knew it all along
Says you're a stranger
Here in paradise, you fool
Seems like forty days and forty nights
Since someone used my first name
Including you
Will you ever be the same?
Is this the one that got away?
Now I'm ahead of the game
Driving me insane
It's a small change
Ooh, I'm just a pushover
Over and over

So This Is Love?
Oh, yeah
Check me out on the good side here
Well, my baby's on the corner and she's lookin' so fine
Put one and one together and it blowed my mind
A man needs love to live, I'm the living proof
Catch that smile and I hit the roof
We'd double check but you keep on walking
I'm in love
Once over
I'm overdone
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your lovin'
Come on baby, take me home
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your lovin'
I'm just skin and bones
Goin' out my way, knowin' my way around
The grass is never greener and there's plenty around
All other girls, they'd be put to shame
Over the edge and here I'll stay
Got me on pins and needles
And she knows she's mine and ain't lettin' go
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your love
Baby, take me home
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your lovin'
I know
Got me on pins and needles
Yes, she knows she's mine and ain't lettin' go
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your love
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your love
Baby, got to have your love
Ooh, i--ooh I need, got to have that love
Baby, baby, still love
So this is love?
So this is love?

Sunday Afternoon In The Park
(instrumental)

One Foot Out The Door
I grabbed that telephone
I thought we were alone
Telling me there's company
Your husband's comin' home
I've been thinking about this saturday night with you
I've been thinking about it all week long
And now I'm gonna lose it 'cause that
Son-of-a-bitch got me singin' that same old song
Got one foot out the door
Tryin' to hit the road
Ain't no match for your mean old man
I think it's time to roll
Got one foot out the door
Got one foot out the door
Think I'm gonna fight him?
Don't you let him put down
Put that to the floor
Put the pedal to the metal
And you beat it out of town
No comin' back, back for more

And The Cradle Will Rock...
Well, they say it's kinda fright'nin' how this younger generation swings.
You know, it's more than just some new sensation.
Well, the kid is into losin' sleep and he don't come home for half the week.
You know, it's more than just an aggravation.
And the cradle will rock.
Yes, the cradle will rock.
And I say, rock on!
Rock on!
And when some local kid gets down, they try and drum him out of town.
They say, you coulda least faked it, boy.
At an early age he hits the street and winds up tied with who he meets,
And he's unemployed.
And the cradle will rock.
Yeah, the cradle will rock.
And I say, rock on!
Rock on!
Have you seen junior's grades?
And when some local kid gets down, they try and drum him out of town.
They say, you coulda least faked it, boy.
At an early age he hits the street and winds up tied with who he meets,
And he's unemployed. his folks are overjoyed.
And the cradle will rock.
Yeah, the cradle will rock.
And I say, rock on!
Rock on!
Rock on!

Everybody Wants Some!!
You can't get romantic on a subway line.
Conductor don't like it, says you're wastin' your time.
But ev'rybody wants some.
I want some too.
Ev'rybody wants some.
Baby, how 'bout you?

Fools
Well, I ain't about to go to school.
And I'm sick and tired of golden rules.
They say I'm crazy, from the wrong side of the tracks.
I never see them, but they're always on my back.
Well, I'm sick and tired of cleaning room.
And it's the final bell for pushing broom.
Damned if I do, and then I'm damned if I don't.
Won't someone tell me what it is they all want?
It makes me blue!
Ooh, I live with fools!
Ooh, it makes me blue!
Ooh, I live with fools!
I just can't take it!
My teachers all gave up on me.
No matter what they say, I disagree.
And when I need something to soothe my soul,
I listen to too much rock 'n' roll.
Don't want no class reunion.
This circus just left town.
Why behave in public if you're
Livin' on a playground?
It makes me blue!
Ooh, I live with fools!
Ooh, it makes me blue!
Ooh, I live with fools!

Romeo Delight
I told her, never in hell, no special reason.
Must a lied 'cause I ain't leavin'.
We're in for a very long night.
Heard a vicious rumor from your mama's tongue:
You a desp'rate woman, need a man with a gun.
High crime zone in the city of lights.
Baby, please!
Can't take it anymore.
Baby, please!
Can't take it anymore.
I'm takin' whiskey to the party tonight,
And I'm lookin' for somebody to squeeze.
I ain't lookin' for somebody to fight.
Baby, don't get uptight.
Baby, please!
Wanna see my i.d.? try to clip my wings!
Don't have to show you proof of anything.
I know the law friend.
At the 'leventh hour. I'm goin' back outside.
Give it a try.
I'm your last loose end.
Baby, please!
Can't take it anymore.
Baby, please!
Can't take it anymore.

And I'm lookin' for somebody to squeeze.

Oh yeah.
Baby, please!
Can't take it anymore.

And I'm lookin' for somebody to squeeze.

Take Your Whiskey Home
Well, my baby, she don't want me around.
She said she's tired of watchin' me fall down.
She wants the good life, only the best.
But I like that bottle better than the rest.
And she said: I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
If you take your whiskey...
Well, that liquor in the nighttime leaves strange memories.
Seems a lifetime since yesterday.
Come the daybreak, come the morrow,
That woman's waited up all night for me again.
She said: well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, you know that you're headed for a lot of trouble.
If you take your whiskey home.
Some goes to women, some goes to jesus,
Though I'm absolutely certain both's all right.
But it takes me at least halfway to the label
'fore I can even make it through the night.
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, you know that you're headed for a lot of trouble.
If you take your whiskey home.

Could This Be Magic?
Out upon the islands on a cool summer night,
Buddy, you don't got to hurry. take your time.
What you need is on the menu and you get it tonight.
Buddy, you got womens on your mind.
Could this be magic,
Or could this be love?
Could this turn tragic?
You know that magic often does.
And I see lonely ships upon the water.
Better save the women and children first.
Sail away with someone's daughter.
Better save the women and children first.
I hear music on the landin', and there's laughter in the air.
Just could be your boat is comin' in.
Yeah, you're leanin' back, and your foot's tappin' and you got your head right.
There's a full moon out tonight. baby, let's begin.
Could this be magic,
Or could this be love?
Could this turn tragic?
You know that magic often does.
And I see lonely ships upon the water.
Better save the women and children first.
Sail away with someone's daughter.
Better save the women and children first.

In A Simple Rhyme
Well, back in the past when I was treated so coldly,
My love life was a darn disgrace.
Needed someone to love and hold me.
That's one of the reasons that I was out of place.
So this is love! well, she finally kissed me.
Had me all worked up inside.
I was in love, but cupid missed me.
She up and left, and I almost died.
But I was young and I was far from lonely.
I been that way for a long, long year.
Needed a girl to call my one and only.
Is that you?
You think you got the int'rest.
C'mon and take the time.
'cause you know I wanna be
Yours in a simple rhyme.
Well, ain't life grand when you finally hit it?
I'm always a sucker for a real good time.
Woke up in life to find I almost missed it.
Ain't I glad that love is blind?
But I was young and I was far too crazy.
Been that way for a long, long time.
Needed a girl, but I was just too lazy.
Now that I've found you:
You think you got the int'rest.
C'mon and take the time.
I'm gonna be
Yours in a simple
Rhyme,
Rhyme.
She made her mountains sing.
Birds against an icy sky.
And I heard bells ringin'
I think I heard an angel sigh. and she said:
There'll be times,
There will be times
You're gonna hear the angels singin'
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
You think you got the int'rest.
C'mon and take the time.
I'm gonna be
Yours in a simple
Rhyme,
Rhyme,
Rhyme.

Light Up The Sky
Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' out of the gates
Takin' chances. we're the crash and burn.
Yeah, there is a way with beauty, but you never gave
A love cross the line where none return.
I watch my television; almost lost my mind.
It said, open your eyes. leave it all behind.
I heard the wind a whisp'rin',
Strong magic comin' on!
They comin' out for sure.
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies.
Won't recognize them any more.
Ooh, mama, see the firelight.
Ooh, we're comin' out tonight.
Wolves at my door wised up quick.
Turn here and gone from on the go.
Seems the old folks who come up short were the pretty
Little kids who didn't want it, no.
I had to pay admission when I came tonight.
And it said, open my eyes. leave it all behind.
I heard the wind a whisp'rin',
Strong magic comin' on!
They comin' out for sure.
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies.
Won't recognize them any more.
Ooh, mama, see the firelight.
Ooh, lightin' up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light 'em up!

Spanish Fly
[instrumental]

D.O.A.
We was broke and hungry on a summer day
They sent the sheriff down to try an' drive us away
We were sittin' ducks for the police man
They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can, uh ha
Ooh! And I'm alone, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive

Broken down and dirty, dressed in rags
A-from the day my mama told me "Boy, you pack your bags."
A-send the mayor down in his pickup truck
The jury look at me, say "Outta luck." Oo-ooh, yeah!

And I'm alone, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive, uh-aah!

(Guitar Solo)

Alright! Uh!

Now, I'm broken down and dirty, dressed in rags

My heart, you're breakin' my heart.
Girl, you better start thinkin' somethin' real.
Seems like loving you is just a crazy dream,
But do as you feel.
All these crazy women,
One more crazy night.
But one night's all we're given,
So, baby, leave me alone, or, baby, stay the night.
(oh, women in love)
Oh baby, make up your mind.

I know you're in love,
So, baby, make up your mind.

Beautiful Girls
She was seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin' on ringside,
On top of the world, oh, yeah.
She had her drink in her hand; she had her toes in the sand and whoa,
What a beautiful girl, ah, yeah.
What a sweet talkin' honey with a little bit of money can
Turn your head around.
Creatures from the sea with the look to me like she'd like to fool around.
What a snappy little mammy. gonna keep her pappy happy
And accompany me to the ends of the earth, ah, yeah.
Here I am, ain't no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! beautiful girls.
Well, I'm a bum in the sun and I'm having fun.

And all I nee, nee, need is the woman.
What a sweet talkin' honey with a little bit of money can
Turn your head around.
Creatures from the sea with the looks to me like she'd like to fool around.
Here I am, ain't no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! beautiful girls.
Now, I'm a seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin';
I'm ringside, on top of the world.
I got a drink in my hand; I got my toes in the sand.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Here I am, ain't no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! beautiful girls.
Ah, yeah! beautiful girls.

Runnin' With The Devil
I live my life like there's no tomorrow
And all I've got I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes I'm living at a pace that kills

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil

I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody waiting at home

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil

You know i, I found the simple life, weren't so simple, no
When I jumped out on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody waiting at home

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil

Little Dreamer
They may talk about you cold when you were
Headed for the skies
But you were young and bold and baby didn't that
Change with a wink of your eye

Crazy days gone by

Times you cried

Really last
