You could be anywhere
But if you think of me
Know that you're on my mind
Got my soul in you hands
No matter what you do
I know it must be right
I'm a man of the world
And I've seen everything
And this time I see one I like
You're the one
That's keeping me wide awake at night
You are
You're the one
And you could be my lucky break
You just might
If you need me at all
Pick up your telephone
I'll be there overnight
Like a puzzle complete
We become as one
How could this not be right
I'm a man of the world
And I've seen everything
And this time I see one I like
Yeah
You're the one
That's keeping me wide awake at night
You are
You're the one
And you could be my lucky break
You just might
And I want the whole world to know
You're the one
You are
You're the one
You are
I'm a man of the world
And I've seen everything
And this time I see one I like
You're the one
That's keeping me wide awake at night
You are
You're the one
And you could be my lucky break
You just might
You're the one
That's keeping me wide awake at night
You are
You're the one
And you could be my lucky break
You just might
Yeah
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one

Face of an Angel, pretty eyes that shine
I lie awake at night wishin' you were mine
I'm standing here holding the biggest heartache in town
Whenever you come around
I get a weak in the knees
And I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but I can't find the words ***
I'm half scared to death
'Cos when you smile that smile
My world turns upside down (yeah)
Whenever you come around
I get so helpless, I feel just like a kid ***
What is it about you that makes me keep these feelings hid
I wish I could tell you but the words just can't be found
Whenever you come around
I get a weak in the knees
And I lose my breath
Yeah I try to speak but I can't find the words ***
I'm half scared to death
Cause when you smile that smile
My world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
Whenever you come around

See you moving through the square
In your motorcycle leather
Diamonds cascade at your feet
In an instant we are forever
See you're a rebel with a cause
No one ever gets close to you
Oh whoa whoa whoa
You're my wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little wild one
Wild one
Yeah
And you've got a crooked smile
That takes that chip right off my shoulder
And though your heart is out of reach
I know that this world will make you colder
So you're escaping down the road
Into an outlaw world that only you know
Oh whoa whoa whoa
You're my wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
You can't stay free
You can't stay mine
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little black swan
This town seems small and lonely
And you're the property of no one
Turn again turn around
All roads lead to London town
Wild one
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
You're my wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
You can't stay free
You can't stay mine
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Wild one
Wild one
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Wild one

I know you're someone's daughter
You know I'm somebody's son
We spent our lives until this moment
Looking for the special one
Nobody gave us the directions
To this life we have to live
Although we've both been taken
We've got so much left to give
So much left to give
I know it's right behind me
The blue highway that I've run
It led me here to find you
It's worth everything I've done
To find my special one
Now I've found my special one
Now I've found my special one
Maybe we won't find the answers
Maybe life is just a song
It may be imagination
But the vision seems so strong
From the first time that I saw you
I knew how it would be
The world is full of wonder
It takes both of us to see
It takes both of us to see
I know it's right behind me
The blue highway that I've run
It led me here to find you
It's worth everything I've done
To find my special one
Now I've found my special one

Inside these moments waiting
Beneath the windows of
The house of Love
Like Romeo to Juliet above
The lights out on the freeway
They lead me back to you
For always and forever now
I'll be with you
Cause you know that I've come here for a reason
Tell me that there's something to this rhyme
Listen to your heart
Tell me what you want now
But don't let me be denied
And be my valentine
Be mine
The dragonfly at midnight
The jasmin of your room
The candle light inside our eyes
The dawn will come too soon
I come to you as nothing now
But everything I am
I'm burning for you constantly
Just let me be your man
Cause you know that I've come here for a reason
Tell me that there's something to this rhyme
Listen to your heart
Tell me what you want now
But don't let me be denied
And be my valentine
Be mine
Valentine
Cause you know that I've come here for a reason
Tell me that there's something to this rhyme
Listen to your heart
And tell me what you want now
But don't let me be denied
And be my valentine
Be mine
Be my valentine

Sometimes I wonder
If I'd ever make it through
Through this world
without having in you
I just wouldn't have a clue
Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world's closing in on me
And there's no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me
Sometimes I wanna give up
Wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you baby
And everything's alright
Everything's alright
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining
right through the rain
When I see you smile
Baby when I see you smile at me
Oh yeah
Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
What the touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing that I ever knew
Hey
And when the rain is falling
I don't feel it
Cause you're here with me now
I wanna ask you baby
It's all I¹ll ever need
All I'll ever need
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining
right through the rain
When I see you smile baby
Baby when I see you smile at me
Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you baby
And everything's alright
Hey everything's alright
It's alright
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining
right through the rain
Yeah
When I see you smile
Yeah I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything now
When I see you smile
Oh yeah
Baby when I see you smile

We've seen a lifetime since we met
Through good and bad
And things we won't forget
Forgotten promises and broken vows
But we always made it through somehow
But the key to you is broken in the lock
And a simple band of gold is all we've got
It's in the things that I can't say
That tear us both apart
But if you keep listening
You'll hear inside my heart of hearts
Darling, the simple things are hard to say
And darling the words get in the way
The poet sees the world through rhymes
But only says so much
See darling, the words are in my touch
the meaning's in my touch
And maybe there's something I should say
To make everything that's wrong Ok
A simple phrase, a sonnet from a play
But a man can only say so much these days
And we're drifting to the deep end of the lake
Trying to make good on our past mistakes
And I know you're tired
But heaven's here and now
I've got no explanation
Words are worthless to me now
Darling... etc

Thinking about old times
Thinking about the things we said
All the worthless games and lies
I'm looking at myself
And the mirror's unkind
You're inside my mind
And you're outside my eyes
And I'm looking for something
That's real in my life, something true, yeah!
And I'm looking for something to hold on to
But I guess it won't be you
Thinking about
Thinking about
Thinking about you all the time
You're on my mind
But this song is not for you
Of all the things I could've done
I walked right out the door
Left like a loaded gun
Into the street
And these new days drag on
Through the long afternoon
I'm smashed and Flintstones are on TV
Repeat
Yeah well sometimes I wake up round midnight
With you wreathed around my skull
Like a halo of lies most of the time
And I'm in denial coming down from the ceiling
I was just your stepping stone
You burned out all my feelings
Chorus out

(John Waite/Jeffrey Steele)
Jenny's sitting in the car
In the middle of some abandoned Shoney's parking lot
Ripping off the filters off her cigarettes
Crying, he loves me, loves me not
She checks her makeup in the rearview mirror and turns the radio on
It hasn't hit her yet
But all she's looking at is another lonely night coming on
Everybody learns the hard way
The hard way about love
It's easy to think that there's something better out there somewhere
But make no mistake
Everybody learns the hard way about love
Meanwhile across town Tommy's in a dark bar watching some blonde girl shaking all she's got
Out on the tiles, out on the edge
He's gonna give it his best shot
All that hard earned money ever got him was all alone
It's two in the morning and the only thing that's falling is the rain
And it's a long walk home
Everybody learns the hard way
The hard way, yeah
The hard way about love
It's easy to think that there's something better out there somewhere
But make no mistake
Everybody learns the hard way about love
Everybody learns the hard way about love
And in the cold heart light of day
Romeo doesn't always get his Juliet
You take your hands off the wheel
Your eyes off the prize
You'll get a lesson that you won't forget
Down on your knees and regret
Chorus

Babe I had a dream
Woke up in a sweat
Darkness all around me
I was caught in its net
Tried to reach for you
But you weren't there
It only was a dream
But it put danger in the air
I can feel the nervous rhythm
of your heart with mine
Could we ever stay together
Stand the test of time
Baby make me a believer
Cause this world will lie
(Oh these times are hard for lovers)
It's getting harder for you and me
(Oh)
It's hard on me and you
Baby we can make it
Cause our love will pull us through
These times are hard for lovers
It's down to me in you
Nothing's gonna break us
If we hang on to what's true
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
Everywhere you turn
Trouble going on
Living under pressure
Loving under the gun
It's hard enough to live
Draw another breath
Hang on to me baby
Like it's life or death
I can feel the nervous rhythm of your heart with mine
Could we ever stay together
Stand the test of time
Baby make me a believer
Cause this world will lie
(Oh these times are hard for lovers)
It's getting harder for you and me
(Oh)
It's hard on me and you
Baby we can make it
Cause our love will pull us through
These times are hard for lovers
It's down to me in you
Nothing's gonna break us
If we hang on to what's true
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
Can you feel the nervous rhythm of your heart with mine
Could we ever stay together
Stand the test of time
Baby make me a believer
Cause this world will lie
We've got to go the distance
Touch the sky
Baby we can make it
Cause our love will pull us through
These times are hard for lovers
It's down to me in you
Nothing's gonna break us
If we hang on to what's true
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Whoa
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Whoa
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
When I turn to you
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
Yeah
But I don't believe it
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Yeah
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
Whoa
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Baby I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
Baby I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Baby I believe in you

You left me here alone
I guess I'll never see the light
You turned another's thumb
And he makes your wrongs
seem right
Out on some different wavelength
Somehow he brings you more
But sweetheart tonight
I know for sure
I'll see those tears
The damage they do
You're breaking my heart with those tears
I'll cry over you
Can we make a new start
Of all the girls I've had at my knees
You're the only one
That could bring me to these tears
A master of the beat
You've got my number in your hands
A killer on the streets
You've got your actions planned
But somewhere in your heart
There must be a place for me
Cause sweetheart tonight
I know for sure
I'll see those tears
The damage they do
You're breaking my heart with those tears
I'll cry over you
Can we make a new start
Of all the girls I've had at my knees
You're the only one
That could bring me to these tears
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I'm looking at you
You're looking at me
You won't let me go
But you won't set me free
Of those tears
The damage they do
You're breaking my heart with those tears
Cry over you
Cry for you tonight
Cry you a river
I'm gonna cry for you tonight
I'm gonna cry you a river
Cry you a river tonight
(Cry for you)
I'm gonna cry for you tonight
(Cry for you)
I'm gonna cry you a river
(Cry for you)

When you tell me that you're leaving
And that you've got to be alone
Sometimes you seem to me like you're far away
In some different danger zone
I couldn't stop you if I wanted
You found somebody else for sure
What you don't know is I've found some love
Like some revolving door
Yeah
Temptation's gonna come into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
To leave that thing alone
You always seem to be distracted
Just like your mind is somewhere else
If you don't wanna be alone with some strange guy
You're gonna wind up on the shelf
Yeah
Temptation's gonna come into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
Yeah yeah
To leave that thing alone
Temptation's gonna go into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
Yeah yeah
Temptation's gonna go into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
Yeah yeah

I can't reach behind your eyes
You always look away
You hide behind your alibis
And change your mind
from day to day
If there's something I can do
Then I'll be there
Outside your broken world
You'll see it's me who cares
Take me straight to your heart
Cause this time's real
and real lasts forever
I know where you are
Cause you know
I've been there before
Straight to your heart
I watch you move
and I watch you dance
I watch you drift away
And I'd give anything for you
And you know that's bad
When it gets that way
You can't go on like this
And I don't wanna fight again
I don't give a damn anymore
Right or wrong you're gonna let me in
Straight to your heart
Cause this time's real and real lasts forever
I know where you are
Cause you know I've been there before
Straight to your heart this time this time
Baby I know where you are
Cause you know I've been there before
Then maybe I'll break down the walls
And my love will go
Straight to your heart
Inside
Take me inside yeah
Straight to your heart
Cause this time's real and real lasts forever
I know where you are
Cause this time we're goin' all the way
Straight to your heart
This time
This time
Baby it's straight
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
This time it's straight to your heart
Oh yeah

There's something in you... child
A mystery that I can't define
But it blows my mind
I'm walking on air... with you
A kite in the sky
Without a care
It's something we share
And all of these clues
Lead me to you
Hey!... I'm so surprised
Everything that fills my eyes
Is about you and this new thing
Hey! Is it really true
Everything I say and do
Is about you and this new thing... lo'
And if I feel blue... child
I come to you so free and so wild
And I feel fine
The little things you do... I find
Here in my eyes, my heart and my mind
Your sexy smile
Your sense of style
Your kiss!
Hey!... I'm so surprised
Everything that fills my eyes
Is about you and this new thing
Hey! Is it really true
Everything I say and do
Is about you
Hey!... It fells so good
I never thought I ever would
Find a new thing
Such a new thing
Hey!... One and one make two
So everything I say and do is about you
And this new thing... love
And this new thing... Love

I've been searchin' for a long time
For someone exactly like you
I've been travelin' all around the world
Waitin' for you to come through
Someone like you
To make it all worthwhile
Someone like you
To keep me satisfied
Someone exactly like you
Just like you
I've been traveling a hard road
Baby looking for someone exactly like you
I've been carrying this heavy load
Waiting for your light to some shining through
Someone like you
Could make it all worthwhile
Someone like you baby
To keep me satisfied
Someone exactly like you
Just like you
Yeah baby
Just like you
And I've been doing some real soul-searching
Tryin' to find out where you're at
And I've been up and down this highway
To all kinds of foreign lands
Someone like you
To make it all worthwhile
And someone like you
To keep me so satisfied
Someone exactly like you
Just like you
Someone like you
Could make it all worthwhile
Someone like you
Could keep me so satisfied
Someone exactly like you
Yes someone exactly like you
Just like you
I've been searching
For such a long time
Marching to the beat
Of a different drum
And now I realize
The best is yet to come
Someone just like you

I remember when you whispered low
I will go with you wherever you go
Then I went and found someone new
No one ever made me feel the way that you do
Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know
Sometimes
Then I came home one day
Your best friend told me you'd gone away
Had enough of my wild mispent youth
Now the tears in my eyes are the only truth
Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know
Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know
Hey
Hey Mister D.J.
I don't need no sympathy
I made my choice
And when it all comes down
It all comes down on me
Now if I gotta take this thing
With my back against the wall
Won't you play me some Chuck Jackson
And watch those blue shadows fall
I'm free but I am alone
Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know
Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes
Sometimes
You better let go
Oh whoa oh
Yeah
Oh whoa oh
Yeah
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh

She's got everything I want
Got my world in a tight black dress
Keeps me on my feet and walking
Keeps my heart alive
I look up at the moon
To see her looking down on me
And it's a magic carpet ride
To a place that fate decides
And everytime we go around the world
We feel like we're millionaires
We get what we want
We know who we are
And these days we just don't care
She's the one
She's the one in my heart
She's the one
And we are never apart
Oh
It's got me on my knees
The sun is burning through our sky
Like quicksilver in my mind
Every time she fills my eyes
My world's a pinball in a groove
And we're shooting for the highest score
My reason is desire
That this key could fit the door
We go around the world
We feel like we're millionaires
We get what we want
We know who we are
And these days we just don't care
She's the one
She's the one in my heart
She's the one
And we are never apart
She's the one
Queen of hearts
For a jack of spades
I'm the one
She could never betray
No
She's all I wanna see
Got my world inside her dress
Cut me to ribbons
Leaves me down
Love's life voids the rest
I'm still looking at the moon
And she's gazing down on me
Take me anywhere you want
It's all the same to me
Everytime we go around the world
We feel like we're millionaires
We know who we are
We get what we want
And these days we just don't care
She's the one
She's the one in my heart
She's the one
And we are never apart
She's the one
Queen of hearts
For a jack of spades
And I'm the one
That she could never betray
She's the one
She's the one
She's the one

There's diamonds in the avenue
As the dayshift turns to night
In the Empire dinner dreaming
Hard rain, fluorescent lights
As the waitress fills my coffee cup
And the working girls go by
Drenched Irish Cops are dreaming sex
And peep show alibis
Everything underneath the skyline
From the east side to the west
I see the miracles in real time
And there's one I've loved the best
See there's an angel on the D train
As she's flying to my world
And I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl
Times Square looks like Avalon
In a Disney morphine dream
Dylan Thomas rides a white horse drunk
At the counter next to me
I wake up in the bed sometimes
And watch her as she sleeps
In the silence and the sirens
I pray her soul to keep
Chorus
The catherine wheel burns bright tonight
Down on the avenue
But nowhere near as bright, my love
As the fire that burns for you
Everything underneath the skyline
From the east side to the west
Of the lives I've lived and those I've known
There is one I've loved the best
See there's an angel on the C train
As she's flying to my world
And I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl
And I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl

I can't take you to the movies
And I can't tell the real thing
From a fake
But I'm curled up tight
In your Chevrolet
And baby you got wow
You've got what it takes
You've got no brakes
I can't take you anywhere these days
Baby you're going wild
Your lips and nylons
Baby you've got what I think
I think it takes
You've got no taste
You've got what it takes
A gal with no brakes at all
Whispering in my ear
When you're breathing baby
Hold me near
Closer closer still
Aaah wooo
Yeah
Baby you look so good tonight
Take that dress right off
Stand there right in front of me
Baby you're going to make
My poor rocking heart break
Got no brakes
You've got what it takes tonight
For a gal with no brakes
Going to make something straight tonight
Gonna gonna make it all right
The morning sun
Coming up
We ain't got no brakes
We ain't got no brakes
Ow ow
We ain't got no brakes
We ain't got none
We ain't got no brakes

Girl sometimes it seems to me
That I don't say the things I should
To you I act like I'm no good
And you wait for me patiently
This house
is not a home without you
It takes two hearts to share
Your eyes will always see through me
And bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you
You're everything I need
And through the good and bad times
You have always been there
We hold each other close
You tell me its alright
The nights we fight about it
Never dream of giving up
That's the price of love
Love sometimes it makes us cry
Forgive me when I get it wrong
Sometimes it's hard
to be that strong
And oh I would do anything
For you I'd turn the stars around
I'd find the way somehow
This time you'll see I'll build
A bridge to you again
Love shines to sweep away the past
We're more than lovers more than friends
And through the good and bad times
You have always been there
We hold each other tight you tell me it's alright
The nights we fight about it
Never think of giving up
That¹s the price of love
Your eyes will always see through me
And bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you
You're everything I need
And through the good and bad times
You have always been there
We hold each other close you tell me its alright
And sometimes I can't give enough
That's the price of love
That's the price of love

Well I come home in the evening
To the same old house alone
And in the silence of these empty rooms
I take shelter from the storm
But I brought a paint box
And some brushes to pass the time
Since you've been gone
It's a portrait of a broken man
And the colors always run
A figure in a landscape
It's a work of art, you'll see
A figure in a landscape
It's a masterpiece of loneliness, that's me
Well I climb the stairs in this haunted house
To find your spirit everywhere
With the bright stars on the rooftops
And my old friend the moon is there
But I can't quite get the colors right
See I'm reaching for the deepest blue
It's a one man show, I'm free again
But still belong to you
Chorus
And I stand there in the kitchen light
With your ghost and memories
Got what I wanted I got my freedom
But I miss you still
Chorus

I've been watching you now, I've been caught in these hours
Days are turnin' to nights, I live where there's no, no room for strangers
When I see you again, will you still feel the same way?
I understand that in your eyes, I can't get nothing right
Chorus:
All day - all night - make it happen - make me feel alright
All day - all night - make it happen - make me feel alright
Oh yeah
When I see you walk by, turn my head, wanna break down
I've been livin' alone, I've been livin' a lie, I get so scared of my fears
There's this place in my life, for just one time or maybe forever
I understand it's in your eyes, I can't get nothing right
(chorus)
(Solo)
I've been watching you now, and I've been livin' in a daydream
It's that I miss you so, can't think of words, I break down, I've been lonely
When I see you again, will you still feel the same way?
I understand that in your eyes, I can't do nothing right
(chorus repeats 2x)
All day, make it happen - alright - make it happen - yeah
Make it happen, yeah yeah

Driving faster than you want me to
Can't help myself when I'm alone with you
Alright
Alright
I've passed the limit and there's no way back
Your kind of love gives me a heart attack
Alright
Alright
Cause baby can't you see
We need to spend some time alone
We need to see some dreams come true
I wanna feel me touching you
We need a midnight rendezvous
On the freeway with the throttle down
You drive me crazy as we drive around
Alright
All night
The way you look tonight you aim to please
The dress you're wearin' is way past your knees
Alright
Alright
Cause baby can't you see
We need to spend some time alone
We need to see some dreams come true
I wanna feel you touching me
We need a midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Yeah yeah
All I really wanna do
Spend some time alone with you
Yeah
A midnight
(Baby baby can¹t you see)
(Baby baby you and me)
(Baby baby can¹t you see)
(Baby baby you and me)
A midnight rendezvous
Yeah
All I really wanna do
Oh I really wanna fuck you
Oh

From your mothers' breast to the Vatican steps
It ain't such a long way down no
Absolution comes with the confession
But the priest still hangs around
And I don't want to lose myself
In some uniform
No I'm not gonna be reformed
Me oh my oh
Fire and ice
Jet black colours
I've got a lust for life
Over the mountains and across the sea
I'm still roaming free
From the centre stage
To an early grave
I'm both hell and heaven bound
And I'm looking at the sky
To see who's looking down
Are my words only empty sounds
Me oh my oh
Fire and ice
Jet black colours
I've got a lust for life
Just like diamond strife
The lust
And I don't want to lose myself
In some uniform
No I'm not gonna be reformed
No
Me oh my oh
Fire and ice
Jet black colours
I've got a lust for life
Like fire and ice
Like diamond strife
I'm gonna roll the dice
I've got a lust for life
Like fire and ice
I've got a lust for life
Like fire and ice
I'm gonna roll the dice
I've got a lust for life

Oh yeah
It ain't the way that you look at me
No nor the way you talk
Could be a dark side coming out of me
But I just like that way that you walk
And I know what you've got is a thing for me
And I want that thing awful bad
Don't mess around
This is too intense
I'm getting hot on the spot
Tell me just to laydown
And stay down
For my love
Laydown
And stay down
For my love
Yeah
Laydown
Could be the way that you're smiling
But I don't think so
Could be the jukebox
But I don't think so
Could be the way the stars are out tonight
We're living in some afterglow
Come on come on
Come on alright
What you've got is what I need tonight
Feelin' good
I feel alright
Come on girl
Don't take all night
Gonna laydown
And stay down
For my love
Laydown and stay down
For my love
This could be the rainbow bridge
Crossing over to Shangri-La
The midnight sky above our heads
You can be who you are
Tell me to laydown
Stay down
For my love
Laydown
And stay down
For my love
Laydown
Come on why don't you
Laydown
Come on come on come on
Laydown
Come on why don't you just
Laydown tonight
Laydown
Come on
Laydown
Yeah

All I ever wanted was to get away
And spend some time alone
To a big house in the country
To a private yacht with Wall St. on the phone
And in a million dollar paradise
Maybe I could sing a better song
But I've found something different now
And I finally understand
That money gets you everything
But it slips straight through your hands
And it's love that makes the world go round
And it's nationwide from town to town
It gets you coming up and going down
And it makes everything alright
I'd give you everything and that's a start
To get next to you and the keys to your heart
There's something going on here
Something going on behind your eyes
You got me feeling kind of nervous
With that Mona Lisa smile
And maybe I could get a steady job
Bring home the bacon 9 to 5
See I'd do anything to win you
Anything at all, I've got my cards
Down on the table, baby
We could have a ball!
Chorus
There was a time when I believed
That I'd be Ok
Living by myself
Then I laid eyes on you
And I believe that I became somebody else
Now I believe... yeah! yeah! yeah!

You keep catching my eye
And we keep looking at each other
Is this what it feels like
To be someone's lover
There was never a time
And the clock didn't matter 'til now
And we could say that it's going well
It feels like Hell
Cause we walk and we talk
And we're just like the others
We touch and we move
Buried treasure discovered
And we've got no excuses at all
Cause we're just like lovers
This feels like I'm drowning
In some desert of misery
My heart lights up when I look at you
You're the only thing I can see
And we could say that it's going well
And when I'm away it feels like Hell
Cause we walk and we talk
And we're just like the others
We kiss hug and move
All our secrets get uncovered
And we've got no excuses at all
Cause we're just like
Some of the people never get to know
What we're going through
And if we're just good friends
I want to know
Why it feels like it's so much more
Are we just like lovers
I wanta know
I wanta know
Oh
We're just like lovers
We're just like lovers
We're just like lovers
We're just like lovers
Windows break
My life shatters
Nothing seems to matter
We are just like lovers
We got more than we've ever
Dreamt we could discover
Cause we're just like one another
We are just like lovers
We are
(Some other place some other time)
(Some other place some other time)
(Some other place some other time)
Cause we're just like one another
(Some other place some other time)
(Some other place some other time)
(Some other place some other time)

Falling in love was the
last thing I had on my mind
Holding you is a warmth
that I thought I could never find
(Sitting here all alone)
Just trying to decide
(Whether to go all alone)
Or stay by your side
(Then I stop myself because)
I know I could cry
I just can't find the answers
To the questions that keep going through my mind
Hey babe
Isn't it time
(Isn't time it took time to wait)
(Falling in love could be your mistake)
Isn't it time
(Isn't time you took time to wait)
(Falling in love could be your mistake)
I've seen visions of someone like you in my life
A love that's strong reaching out
Holding me through the darkest night
(Sitting here all alone)
Just trying to decide
(Whether to go all alone)
Or stay by your side
(then I stop myself because)
I don't want to cry
I just can't find the answers
To the questions that keep going through my mind
Hey babe
Isn't it time
(Isn't it time it took time to wait)
(Falling in love could be your mistake)
(Isn't time you took time to wait)
(Falling in love could be your mistake)
(Isn't time you took time to wait)
(Falling in love could be your mistake)
I feel a warmth in my heart
And my soul that I never knew
This love affair gives me strength
That I need just to get me through
(Sitting here all alone)
Just wondering why
(Then I stop myself because)
I know I could cry
(Then I think of you)
And everything seems alright
I've finally found the answers
To the questions that keep going through my mind
Hey babe
Isn't it time
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
(Don't have to wait)
I know it's time
Ooh yeah
I know it's time
It must be time
(Don't have to wait)
(Losing this love could be your mistake)
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
(Don't have to wait)
It oughta be time
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
It must be time
(Don't have to wait)
(Losing this love could be your mistake)
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
(Losin' this love could be your mistake)
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)

You quit the band and got a job, decided to take a wife
Then you stood still, and I went on and almost lost my life
No I don't wanna be in your shoes, and I don't wanna read local news
And though I know we had the same views, who's the fool?
Try 'n keep your head above the waves, try 'n tell yourself that you're safe
I know you do your best to keep faith
So round 'n round we go, it's a shame, oh, but you never know
There you go, praised again, your head pressed against the glass
You always tried to put me down, but I knew that it couldn't last
'Cos I don't wanna be in your shoes, and I don't wanna read local news
And though I know we had the same views, who's the fool?
Try 'n keep your head above the waves, try 'n tell yourself that you're safe
I know you do your best to keep faith
So try 'n keep your head above the waves
Oh, feels so good, yeah yeah yeah yeah, I knew it would
Oh, it just don't mean that much anymore, oh

In my life I've seen such things
That I wish I had not seen
But through your eyes
I can let it go
When you're lying here with me
Sunshine knocking on my window
Couldn't wake me from this dream
(we dream)
Cause baby
anywhere the wind blows
I will follow you
It seems
That in my life
I still believe in dreams
Where you are is where I'll be
It's all that really matters to me
The world out there
Hey can kiss my ass
As long as I've got you I'm free
Free
Sunshine knocking on my window
Couldn't wake me from this dream (we dream)
Cause baby anywhere the wind blows
I will follow you
It seems
That in my life
I still believe in dreams
The world out there can kiss my ass
As long as I¹ve got you I'm free
Free
Sunshine knocking on my window
Couldn't wake me from this dream (we dream)
Cause I don't care which way the wind blows
I will follow you
It seems
That in my life
Cause in your life
You believe

If I say I love ya
And lay it on the line
Yeah
Could you say you need me
And put your hands in mine
Oh I got love that grows
Oh I got love that shows
I got the love
If you've got the time
Then I've got the time
Do you say you want me
You'll give me everything
Then you could come live here
I'd even buy a ring
Oh I've got lots to learn
Oh I've got love to burn
I got the love
If you've got the time
Oh I've got love that shows
Oh I've got love that grows
I got the love
If you've got the time
Then I've got the time
Yeah
Do you say you need me
You'll give me everything
Then you could come live here
I'd even buy a ring
Oh I've got love that shows
Oh I've got love that grows
I got the love
If you've got the time
Then I've got the time
Oh I've got love that shows
Oh I've got love that grows
I got the love
If you've got the time
Then I've got the time
Oh I've got love that shows
Oh I've got love that grows

Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That means he's lost his will to live
And I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
As I wonder where you could be tonight
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Oh I'm so lonesome I could cry
Oh I'm so lonesome I could cry

There was a time
When I thought I knew
Everything about
this great big world
Until I met you
Into my life
Like a brand new sun
Now I find my home
inside your eyes
Wherever you are
It's hard to say it
Cause I hide things so good
But you make me say it
Like only you could
I love you
More than any man could ever say
I need you
Baby let me count the ways
And I'll be here
I believe in everything you do
So how did I get by without you
For the longest time
Playing games of solitaire
Taking my wine
But now I'm with you baby
And I can dream out loud
You're as pretty as a picture
And you make me so proud
It's hard to say it
Cause I hide things so good
But you make me say it
Like only you could
I love you
More than any words could ever say
I need you
Baby let me count the ways
And I'll be here
There¹s nothing in this world I couldn't do
So how did I get by without you
You love me
Now I know that I'm the lucky guy
You've got me
And there's nowhere I can hide
So I'll be here
I believe that all my dreams came true
So how did I get by without you
In the morning light
To see you wake up next to me
It¹s a beautiful sight
Now everything's alright
Yeah
I love you
More than any words could ever say
I need you
Baby let me count the ways
And I'll be here
I believe in everything you do
So how did I get by without you
You love me
Now I know that I'm the lucky guy
You've got me
And there's nowhere I can hide
So I'll stay here
I believe in everything you do
So how did I get by without you
How did I get by
How did I get by without you in my world
How did I get by without you as my girl
You're beautiful
Beautiful
So how did I get by without you
Without you

No Krishna, Buddha, Jesus in my soul
'Til the sun breaks through again
Down into nothing as I lose myself
In the perfections of Zen
She said: I got the answer
I said: I'm curious, can you write that down my friend
It said there's nothing in the real world
So why should we pretend zero?
Godhead
We got nothing
We got everything
I took a page out of Unpunished
And I flew a paper plane
But there is nothing in the real world
But the cool, cool, cool of soul
And I've got nothing in my pockets
But lose change and gold zero!
And I'm trying to get somewhere
In a room with glow
The church mice are singing now
What John Lee Hooker knows
Godhead
We got nothing
We got everything
I'm falling backwards in her mirrored room
In her mirrored room tonight
She looks so good
And I feel fine
As she says we might make it to Godhead

(Bob Dylan)
Well, if you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' wind
Please see for me if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see for me if her hair hangs long
That's the way I remember her best
I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day
So if you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

You spin around and turn on me, stop me in my crash
You wanna be somebody else, say you won't be back
Your bourgeois friends call you dear, deal you like a card
Your eyes out for the diamonds now, experienced and scarred
You tell me, gonna be somebody, gonna be okay, gonna be somebody someday
You're moving through a different space, where I don't belong
L.A. guns, gold and silver, superficial grace
They'll pervert you, masquerade you, pass evil as good taste
They'll chew you up and spit you out, and put you in your place
You tell me, gonna be somebody, gonna be okay, gonna be somebody someday
(Solo)
Gonna be somebody, gonna be okay, gonna be somebody someday
Gonna be somebody, gonna be okay, gonna be somebody someday
Gonna be somebody, gonna be somebody, gonna be somebody someday

For so long, you've gone on
Trying to see an end to it all
And I know, your grip is getting loose
You think if you leave
The pain will go away
But you don't know
You need it to get through
'Cause I can tell by the things you say
That your feelings will never change
You'll keep coming back to what you know is true
It's okay to want to be free
It's okay to spread your wings
If you know how to fly
So for now, you go on
Crawling along for a while
But you're dragging me down
You're holding me back
You're making it end
'Cause I can tell by the things you say
That your feelings will never change
You'll keep coming back to what you know is true
Chorus
You can fly
Chorus
It's okay to close your eyes
It's okay to fade away
If you don't want to stay
'Cause you can fly
You can fly

I spend my time
Thinkin' 'bout you constantly
It's true that I want you
You're the meaning of success to me
Cause anything you want
You can get from me
Don't try to work it out
Just let it be
Emotion has no price
And love is free
I've been going round in circles
You're always on my mind
I need you so bad
It's driving me out of my mind
Reflected in your eyes
Can't you see
You and I against the world
Young lions roam free
You're always taking me somewhere
That I've neven seen
No matter where you go
I'm with you
Every step of the way
No matter what you need
I've got more every single day
My heart is full for you
And I'm longing to find you
Every step of the way
I'm with you
Every step of the way
I'm right beside you
Cause anything you want
You can get from me
Don't try to work it out
Just let it be
Emotion has no price
And love is free
It's free and no matter where you go
I'm with you
Every step of the way
No matter what you need
I've got more every single day
My heart is full for you
In your shadow you'll find me
Every step of the way
I'm with you
Every step of the way
I'm right beside you
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
I'm right beside you
Every single day
No matter what you do
Or who you do it to
No matter where you've been
No matter what you say
Or who you say it to
No matter what you do
I will stay close to you
Every step of the way
Every single day

In these days of wild roses
I held a compass in my hand
I had three wishes for a future
That I won't need to understand
And I've got holly green on blood red
Manhattan Christmas on my arm
My soul ain't worth saving
Feels like I've lost my lucky charm
And I've been living in the gutter
I've been loaded like a gun
I've been sliding down the mountain
And it feels like kingdom come
And I'm always fighting windmills
Have to take it as it comes
See I'm
I'm encircled
I am
If you want me tell me
Cause I can't play this game much longer
Feels a lot like oblivion
This feeling just keeps getting stronger
And I've been living in the gutter
Without American Express
Heroes changing horses midstream
I'm detached
I'm second-guessed
Won't you please come back and get me
My whole world is in a mess
See I'm
I'm encircled
This time I am
I'm encircled
In these days of wild roses
I'm encircled
Yeah
And I've been living in the gutter
I've been loaded like a gun
I've been sliding down the mountain
And it feels like kingdom come
And I'm always fighting windmills
Have to take it as it comes
See I'm encircled
This time I am
I'm encircled
I am

You tell me to be strong
You tell me to be strong
Goodbye ain't no reason to cry
It ain¹t no big deal
You say I'll get along
Sure I'll get along
You're so nonchalant
That it's unreal
Well I thought this love would be all I needed
I thought this love was something to believe in
Now you, you say sorry babe
It didn't work out that way
But don't let that ruin your day
Don't lose any sleep now babe
It's just my heart you¹re breaking
Just my world your taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry babe
I'll be alright
Whoa yeah
Don't act so concerned
No don't be concerned
Don't know how much more
Of your kindness that I can bear
Guess I had to learn
I just had to learn
That after all this
You just don't care
But don't let that worry your mind now
I'll be OK
Baby I'll be fine now
It's just I'm watching my world walking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
It's just my heart you're breaking
Just my world your taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry babe
I'll be alright
Whoa whoa
[Don't lose any sleep now babe]
Oh
[Don't lose any sleep now babe]
Whoa no no no no no no
Don't lose any sleep now
It's just my heart you're breaking
Just my world you're taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry babe
Don't lose any sleep now
Just my heart you're breaking
Just my world you're taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry baby
It's just my heart you're breaking
[Can't you see it's breaking baby]

I looked over my shoulder, straight into your eyes
As you stood in my shadow, in some loud disguise
You were lookin' straight through me, like a piece of glass
Out of step with the fashion, fashions always pass
I've been living on the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something that would never come
Feeling restless and traded, my heartbeat paralyzed
Like some refugee hero, to beat him out every night
In some rock 'n' roll wasteland, in a thousand hours
Run with dawn and keep smiling, present them with the flowers
I've been living on the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something that would never come
And I've been running down the shadows, like a street gang to survive
Hoping for something to keep me alive
(Solo)
I looked over my shoulder, fire in my eyes
We were looking for justice, what we got was a great big surprise
We've been living on the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something that would never come
And we've been running from the shadows, like some street gang to survive
Waiting for something to keep us alive
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
I been living on the dark side - whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
And I've been running from the shadows - whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh...
(to fade)

You always give me something to help me understand
Turn those tracks around me one more time
But all you give is killing me, I can't turn around
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I don't know who I am on a darker side of town
I came to win some game I played when I was just a boy
I've done too much, have nothing in my life
I understood the rules back then, now I can't decide
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I'm gettin' wasted on a darker side of town
Oh, I give to you everything I've got
Even start again to make you smile, yeah
But my luck's run out, my head is burnt, I can't turn around
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I'm drownin' in some wine on a darker side of town
Darker side of town

These days I feel I'm fightin'
Everything in sight
I'm fighting for my freedom
For my life
Some bigshot with the money
Puts my back against the wall
The red brick's waiting
For another bullet hole
There's a blitzkreig on the border
It's a sexual pleasure/pain
I'm staring down an empty glass
Til the violence starts again
It's the big time for love
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for your love
The queen is in the palace
But my sister's in the rain
Neon girls and gunshots
Tickin' through my brain
They give you some detection
Bread and circus in your bed
A calculated showdown
It's very graphic bloodshed
Better put your house in order
There's a fireball in the sky
Kiss the wife and kids so long
Kiss your ass goodbye
It's the big time for love
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for love
This time it is
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for your love
We feel overdue
Cause we know what it feels like
There's no more
No white flag
And communication too
It's the big time for love
It's the right time
It's the time for love
It's the big time for love
This time it is
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
Call a truce or forget it

People talking
And they're saying that you're leaving
So unhappy
With the way that you've been living
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
Look in the mirror
And you see how you've been taken
You won't surrender
But now your heart is breakin'
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
Do you remember
When you got your lucky break
You're looking back now
And it seems like a mistake
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
It's only change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will stay the same
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (what¹s in your heart)
It's only
It's only
It's only change
Never (it doesn't matter)
You ain't gonna
You ain't gonna change (what's in your heart)
You ain't gonna change

Well, September comes around like an old familiar friend
So I take off to Central Park to watch those falling leaves again
And in the arbors of Strawberry Fields, in a night as bright as day
I look up at the sky and wish I could fly away
And I say I know this life won't last forever
But wherever you go these days
I'm with you all the way
And I say I know your time and mine together
Is more than I could understand
But I promise you, I'll always be your man
And so I watch those falling leaves until the winter kicks in good
Until I reach the same conclusion, we never say the things we should
You're with me all the time it seems, yeah, these days I'm not alone
I can't explain the things I'm going through, it's you not me that's flown away
And I say I know this time won't last forever
But wherever you go these days
I'm with you all the way
And I say I know your time and mine together
Is more than I could understand
But I promise you, I'll always be your man
And time has put us through some heavy changes
And I say I still care about you and I know what love's for
And I'll be right here waiting for you every day
To come in laughing through that door
Look up at the towers through the falling snow
It's hard to tell what you've been going through
Because I'm a stranger now in your world
And I say I know this world won't last forever
But wherever you go these days
I'm with you all the way
And I say I know your time and mine together
Is more than I could understand
But I promise you, I'll always be your man
Day in day out, I have no doubt
I'll always be your man

I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I'd get by without love
Drownin' my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
Kind of felt that I just had enough
You light up my face with your jokes and your smiles
And the way that you came here tonight
Don't know what you got
But I'm sure glad I found you
Could be wrong but it sure feels right
And here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Surprised at myself
for the way that I feel
So happy that you're
here with me
Some women I've known
They've left me with nothing
But I guess that was just meant to be
And here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am
I'm back on my feet again
I was down for the count
I was down
I was beat
I was cryin'
I was cornered and hurt
I was hidin' my face
Sittin' there cryin'
I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I'd get by without love
Drownin' my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
Kind of felt that I just had enough
And here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am
I'm back on my feet again.
Yes here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am

Sometimes I wake up
And I watch you sleep
And in the darkness
I wonder if I'm in too deep
Help-what if it's true
I say the wrong things
Cause I'm just a jealous guy
And I hurt you sometimes
I make you cry
Oh I'm so sorry
You and I fit together hand and glove
What we've got is an act of love
That¹s all
There are good times
And bad times too
You're always there for me
No matter what I do
Don't ever turn away
You're everything I know
You're all I want to see
Feel like a king
When you're standing next to me
And if we disagree don't forget
You and I fit together hand and glove
What we've got is an act of love
Here we go
My love's gigantic as the weather
Our luck can come and go
But as long as we're together
I'm never never gonna wave goodbye
I light a fire
And I lock the doors
I look into your eyes
And I see what I'm looking for
Though sometimes I'm so unsure
You could say I'm out of control
Don't you know what this feels like
What I do-I do everything for you
When I look I look to you
For an act of love
It's all I feel inside
Is just an act of love
The other side of me that hides
Behind an act of love
It's only an act of love
Comin' back on me
Takin' you away
It's only an act of love
Comin' back on me
Comin' back on me
It's only an act of love
Keepin' me wide awake at night
I know it's an act of love

I've got no money
Could you spare a dime?
I got the plan
If you got the time
If you take me there
You can claim your share
Of the action
Been on the road
for a long time now
Paid all my dues
Oh, I'm ready now
If you take me there
You can claim your share
Of the action
Oh, for a piece of the action
Oh, for a slice of the cake
Oh, for a piece of the action
Oh, for a slice of the cake
Sometimes I feel
As I'm going down
That nothing can stop me
From losing ground
If you take me there
You can claim your share
Of the action
Oh, for a piece of the action
Oh, for a slice of the cake
Oh, for a piece of the action
Oh, for a slice of the cake
For a slice of the cake

Well I stood by the streetlight
And I whispered your name
To the circle of darkness again
In the mercury night
The snow fell like cocaine
But all I want for Christmas is you
I'd been out with some good friends
And we raised a glass or two
It's the time of the year to get loose
Like a dog on the freeway
With the headlights in my eyes
All I get from you is the truth
I don't need a new Cadillac
Or a new set of clothes
Just Donner and Blitzen
To bring me fresh mistletoe
And make my world
A world
Where love don't get old
Cause all I want for Christmas is you
Well I stand in the spotlight
But it's always royal blue
And It won't bring you back here
That's true
I got my name in lights
Strung out on the avenue
And all I want for Christmas is you
I don't need a new Cadillac
Or a new suit of clothes
Just Donner and Blitzen
To bring me fresh mistletoe
And make my world
A world
Where love don't get old
Cause all I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
Yeah
All I want for Christmas is you

Sweet 17 in summertime
Drunk on elderberry wine
Laughing in the cornfields
And taking our sweet time
The world was ours together
And all the things we had
Were cast up in the future baby
How could things turn out bad?
Now I ain't waiting for
those days to return
You showed me what love was
I had such a lot to learn
Hey baby
I never knew a love so fine (When you were mine)
Sweet darling
When you were mine (When you were mine)
7 Days a week
365 a year
We tripped the wild fantastic edge
The truth was always clear
They could never tame our wild hearts
Or stop us making love
We were so inseparable
We could never get enough
And it seems like only yesterday
You made my world turn
And these days I think about ya
The fire still burns
Hey baby
I never knew a better time (When you were mine)
Sweet darling
When you were mine (When you were mine)
Alright
Everything we had was so complete
And all our young hearts wanted was to be swept off our feet
Yeah
When you were mine
In summertime
I know there's no sense in looking back
But everytime I think of it baby
I just have to laugh
Yeah well maybe just sometimes
On my own
Looking at my watch and thinking how time's flown
Come back baby
Like summer time
And we can break a bottle of that elderberry wine
Hey baby
I never knew a better time (When you were mine)
Sweet darling yeah
When you were mine (When you were mine)
Hey darling
Come back to me one more time (When you were mine)
Sweet darling
When you were mine (When you were mine)
Everything was good
Everything was fine
When you were mine (When you were mine)
When you were mine baby (When you were mine)
Come back just like summertime
In the summertime

You say there's nothing wrong
With the lessons that your learning
The school of the streets
You'll kick next year
Skateboarding Hollywood and Vine
Yeah
You're a spaced out face in a crowd
You're 17 and shooting
The cars slow down to check you out
And your tattered freak flag flies
For sale, your habit
Where to? Let's go!
I know
Out on the Internet tonight
Deals made
Between the strangers
In green lights
No names
No touch no feel humanity
You and your suicide life
In a cardboard mansion sleeping
Out there just beneath the freeway
On a broken bottle carpet
Snoring now
The Lord of the universe
Yeah
A hippie called John Henry
A burnt out acid tripper
Yeah yeah yeah
A symbol and a brush stroke
And a barstool for a throne
Encino, Jerusalem
Angel, dust and blow
I know
Out on the interstate tonight
Hell's angels
And poet cops alright alright
New names
And tie dyed blissed out humanity
You and your suicide life
Suicide life
Yeah baby
Have a nice day
At the heart of all this darkness
You got a crush on Venus big time
Nodding out into a wet dream
The strangers take you
They take you
The slave trade sister rapes you
I know
Out on the interstate tonight
Hell's Angels
And poet cops alright alright
New names
And tie dyed blissed out humanity
Oh no
You live in real time
Kings the Knife
You and your suicide life
Suicide life
Hell's Angels
And poet cops alright
Spare change and have a nice day
I believe you're here to stay
Yeah

I've been out here in this wasteland
Throwing horseshoes at the stars
Nickel, Silver, and pearl inlay
On an old guitar for my new life
For the playwright and the printer
Theme cafes and tourist bars
They're on a permanent vacation
Like butterflies in killing jars
How the hell did it get this far
Let's go now
Maybe we'll walk
Maybe we'll fly
C'mon now
Let's get outta here
While we're still young
Take our dreams and run
C'mon now
Let's get outta here
All the songs I sing were for you
Though it's something I've denied
Time is short so let's start running
To hell with pride
Cause time moves fast
C'mon baby make it last
Let's go now
Maybe we'll walk
Maybe we'll fly
C'mon now
Let's get outta here
While we're still young
Take out dreams and run
C'mon now
Let's get outta here
There's a big sky
There's a big sky there for you and me
Got no horizon
Who needs a compass
I've got you and you got me
C'mon baby
It feels so good to be free
Maybe we'll walk
Maybe we'll fly
C'mon now
Let's get outta here
You've got the keys
Baby I can drive
C'mon now let's get outta here
Maybe we'll walk
Maybe we'll fly
C'mon now let's get outta here
You've got that look
You make it clear
C'mon now let's get outta here
Yeah yeah
Get a piece of big sky
It's yours and mine
Yeah yeah
Big sky

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows
That baby's got new clothes
But lately I've seen her
Ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman
She makes love just like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
Yes she does
Yeah
Queen Mary
She's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally
That she's like all the rest
With her fog
Her amphetamine
And her pearls
She takes just like a woman
She makes love just like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
It was raining from the first
And I was dying of thirst
So I came in here
And your long time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is the pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear
That I just can't fit
Yes, I believe that it's time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry
And it was your world all the way
Ah, you fake just like a woman
You make love just like a woman
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl
Let me see through you baby
C'mon now
Baby, you can break down yeah
Just like a woman
Just like a woman
Just like a woman
Just like a woman
Show me
Show me baby
Just like a woman
Just like a woman
Yeah
Just like a woman

Do you think you have to act
like you're someone else with me
Like a cover girl
Or a barbie doll
Or a beauty queen
You'll be gone when I wake up
to the Rolling Stones
And the jukes and earls
But I ain't looking for
An imaginary girl
Who are you really?
Come on tell me
Deep behind blue eyes
And what's on today's agenda
In your enterprise
Do you weigh the odds before you speak
Straighten out your curls
But I'm not taken in
By an imaginary girl
Yeah
Who are you trying to be
Why are you so counterfeit
What's your problem
Who do you want to be anyway
Cause I need reality
That's right
Come on be straight with me
You're like a damaged nerve
You're like a dirt road curve
Do you think you have to act
Like your someone else with me
Cause I don't believe you
You're an imaginary girl
Don't believe you babe
Thought I saw you once
When you just let go
And took your heart down off the shelf
When you turned around and looked at me baby
You were nobody else
That's what I'm looking for deep inside of you
That hidden precious pearl
Not the act of love
From an imaginary girl
I can't buy into your imaginary world
Yeah
Won't be taken in
By an imaginary girl
So who are you saving it for
In your imaginary world
Yeah
I guess I'm resigned to an imaginary girl

In the cruel month grey morning
I woke up freezing cold
To possibly start over
Before the day got old
To my anger in my solitude
I had to say goodbye
So I turned on my ignition
No reason to deny
I-95
Alright
From the canyons on the sidewalks
Where the Wall St. banners fly
To the farmlands and the deserts
And the flying saucer skies
To the running of the life lines
The highway spirits rhyme
There's a voice that speaks so clear to me
And says
I-95
Yeah
And I say hey hey hey yeah
I'm so glad I'm alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm so glad I can drive
Burning down I-95
It's a simple song of freedom
And it feels like de ja vu
Tai Jean knew about it
John Lennon sang it too
It's the ringing bell of truth and free speech
On the radio
It's there in the Constitution
It's little sister
It's called rock 'n roll
And she's alright
And I sing
Hey hey hey yeah
I'm so glad I'm alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm so glad I can drive
Burning down I-95
Yeah yeah
I'm so glad I can drive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm so glad I'm alive
Burning down I-95
Yeah
I-95
She's alright
I-95
In daylight
I-95
At nighttime too
She's alright
She's alright
She's alright
She's alright
Yeah

The day begins with CNN
And it looks like WWIII
The forecast calls for freezing rain
It doesn't matter much to me
The Wheel of Fortune never turns
It's all insanity
Have you seen her my friend?
I've been up all night
I've been out all day
Though I try to pretend
That she's still in town
And I'll be ok
Till I can hear her footsteps
Outside my door again
I'll wonder if she's lonely like me
Oh, no! no!
Have you seen her my friend?
The dreams I have are troubled dreams
I thought that I could change
The winter's come inside my head
And it's blowing through my brain
The road I'm on won't straighten out
So here I go again
Have you seen her my friend?
I've been up all night
I've been out all day
Though I try to pretend
That she's still in town
And I'll be ok
Till I can hear her footsteps
Outside my door again
I'll wonder if she's lonely like me
Oh, no! no!
Have you seen her my friend?
And if she calls you
Say hello
Don't tell her how things are
The sun may shine tomorrow
Tomorrow baby
Maybe tomorrow
I just don't know
Have you seen her my friend?
I've been up all night
I've been out all day
Though I try to pretend
That she's still in town
And I'll be ok
Have you seen her my friend?
I've been up all night
Out all day
Though I try to pretend
That she's still in town
And I'll be ok
Cause I can feel her
I can sense her
I can feel her everywhere
I can feel her
I can sense her
I can breathe her
In the air
In my world
I can sense her
I believe
And I still care
I can feel her
And I know she's
In my world
She's everywhere
She's everywhere
I can feel her

Her I.D, says she's 21
But she's just 17
Her apron says Mary
But her real name is Jean
She's working cleaning tables off
At the local Dairy Queen
And she's the real thing
Yeah
Young hearts can fly restless and wild
Though it's a thousand days away
She's got the will and she'll find a way
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
She's got her boyfriends name
Carved in the back of her guitar
It's a beat up old Epiphone
With painted on stars
She wears her brother's 501's
And keeps her tips in a jar
By a picture of Patsy Cline
She's fine
Young hearts can fly restless and wild
Though she'll get out of this town someday
She's got the will and she'll find a way
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
Yeah
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
She's into country body and soul
But nobody's future is written in stone
And to get what she wants
She's gonna have to walk alone
And she will
All the way to Nashville
To Nashville
Yeah yeah
She comes out of work some nights
Stops and stares down the road
Through the heat and the crickets
And the telegraph poles
Out in the darkness
Hank's Blue Highway calls
And she just stops and smiles
Yeah
Young hearts can fly restless and wild
Though it's a thousand days away
She's got the will and she'll find a way yeah
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
Yeah
To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
She's got the will and she'll find a way

There's a silent movie
Running off its reel inside my mind
As I try to fall asleep tonight
On prescription lullabyes
In the darkness there's a doorway
That leads me back to you forever
But these days there's only
You and I in photographs
Ambitions and dreams we've shared
Now I wonder who has got the last laugh
Cause I know you're crying
And you know I'm cold inside
Got no expectations for my pride
And I reach for that glittering prize
I remember on our wedding day
Looking back at you
Our eyes met and we said goodbye
As we both said ";I do";
Didn't I make a promise baby
I would stand by you forever
But sometimes the best-laid plans
Flare up and blow away
And fairytale logic comes
Sweeps you heart
Your soul'Your world away
Cause I know you're crying
And you know I'm cold inside
And I'm tired of living with that lie
And now time is flying
And you know I miss that fire
But I feel for you
I've got desire
So I reach for that glittering prize
No doll's house dreams
Or valentines
Just the future at the door
Just leaving trains and empty rooms
A broken band of gold
Cause love don't live here anymore
And some nights I'll come and see you
And I know you'll let me in
Two strangers in silence now
Cause you know in love
We could never win
I know you're crying
And you know I'm cold inside
And I'm tired of living with this lie
These days
Cause now time is flying
And you know I miss that fire
Cause I feel for you
I've got desire
Baby baby
In my world (in your world tonight)
Reach for that glittering prize (in my world)
That's all I ever seemed to do (in your world tonight)
Was reach for the glittering prize (in my world)
I lost myself when I lost you (in your world tonight)
As I reached for that glittering prize (in my world)
And I hope that all your dreams come true (in your world tonight)
When you reach for that glittering prize (in my world)
In your world
In my world tonight

In the real world
All that gold
All that silver prove
Is that the powerful own the truth
With their Heckle and Jeckyll smiles
Down to nickels and dimes
The lawyers will sue
What those bastards won't do
But sometimes with you
I can leave this place
And fall into your sky
And sometimes with you
I can lose myself
Without an alibi
Salvation and clues
I get from you
And I shoot out the lights
In a room with a view
Bought and paid for
With the price of my tears
Na na na na na na na yeah
On the TV
There's a sitcom about success
About winning and nothing less
Little Caesars with suits and ties
With their dollar sign eyes
Canned laughter and lies
They're everything I despise
But sometimes with you
I can fall into your sky
And I can fade
And sometimes with you
I can leave myself
And join in your parade
Salvation and clues
Are the things I want
The things I get from you
Sometimes I withdraw
With the echo of you
Inside of myself
To a room with a view
It¹s bought and paid for
With the price of my tears
So I lay down my heart
When I lay down with you
In a world of possessions
You're my only clue
Why I stay here
When the price is my tears
Na na na na na na na yeah
The price of my tears
Yeah
Everything comes clear
The price of my tears
Year after year
Yeah
The price of my tears
Na na na na na na

Fell out of the sky sometime in 1952
Through the radiance
Looking for my shoes
Daddy left and momma cried
Had a passport for the blues
I didn't share their hometown point of view
Cause I need more
I need more
Just give me one good reason
What I'm living for
In this uncertain world of circumstance
With one foot in the door
At the house of truth
That's burnt down to the floor
I want more
Yeah
I need more
In my days
Tripping down the turnpike somewhere
Out there near the shore
Looking for some words to live by
In the uncertain moments in the loam
You can almost hear it shine
Is that voice I'm hearing divine
Cause I hear more
I hear more
Just give me one good reason
What I¹m living for
In this concrete world of fairy tales
Only innocence is pure
But there must be an answer
Yeah I'm sure
So give me more
Yeah
Give me more in my day
Am I dreaming
Am I somewhere else
When I'm lying in the darkness
Am I really by myself
There must be more
Yeah
More in my days
Am I dreaming
Am I someone else
When I'm dancing in the darkness
Am I dancing by myself
There must be more
Must be more to this
Yeah
Cause I want more
Yeah
And I need more
And I hear more
Yeah
Give me more in my world everyday
Give me more
Yeah
Give me more
Give me more

We speak out like children
Of the dreams that we chase and pursue
These rights we hold precious
Say it loud enough
And it'll be true
In the company of strangers
Wild conversation
And the hours go by so fast
And you find a lot of wisdom there
At the bottom of the glass
But when the lights go down
And the laughter fades away
Somewhere beneath the moon and stars
All of life certainties they
They all just slip away
And you lie down in God's shadow
At the end
The end of the day
We speak revolution
But the future's already been sold
The masters of diffusion
Spinning their fine webs into gold
And the party's just begun
This matter of resistance
Our ship was built to last
We¹re sailing out on troubled seas
Nail your colors to the mast
But when the lights go down
And the laughter fades away
Somewhere beneath the moon and stars
All of life certainties they
They all just slip away
And you lie down in God's shadow
At the end
The end of the day
The avenue is so crowded
And they¹re turning up the heat
And the red lights keep on flashing
Out there tonight on Bourbon Street
On Bourbon Street
Wild conversation
And the hours go by so fast
And you find a lot of wisdom there
At the bottom of the glass
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
But when the lights go down
And the laughter fades away
Somewhere beneath the moon and stars
All of life certainties they
They all just slip away
And you lie down in God's shadow
At the end
The end of the day
The end of the day
The end of the day
The end of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Lay down your soul with me
Lay down your soul tonight
Lay down your soul with me
And everything will be alright

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
I wonder this time where she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't a home
Anytime she goes away
Oh yeah

I know it
Every single day

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday yeah

Every time she goes away

And she's always gone too long
Every time she goes away (goes away)
Oh yeah
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't a home
Every time she goes away (goes away
Oh yeah
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long

With a woman's touch
Yeah
Keep me happy tonight
Keep me wide awake
Give me a woman's touch

Make me feel alright

If I fall
Right out of sleep
Deepsea diving in the dark
With those creatures of the deep
Broken skis
Over silent snow
As the ground comes up to meet me
Is it then you let me go
Here we go
To the other side
No one comes back
And very few survive
Me I'm heading south
For the borderline
She and I
This is it
Nineteen sixty-five
Twist and shout
This ain't no luxury cruise
And your eyes are full of doubt
Chinatown
Under neon lights
Oh, she's coming and she's going
In cheap hotels
Here we go
To the other side
No one comes back
And very few survive
Me I'm heading south
For the borderline
She and I
This is it
It's dreamtime
So come on
Dreamtime
A vision of
Oh guitar
Here we go
To the other side
No one comes back
And very few survive
Me I'm heading south
For the borderline
She and I
It's dreamtime
So come on
Dreamtime
A vision of
Dreamtime
To shake it up
Dreamtime
Tonight
You might even want to
Shake it up
Come a little closer
Twist and shout
You look so good
Come on
You¹re coming out
Shake it up
Oh oh you look so fine
Shake it up baby

Shakt it up baby
Twist and shout
Shake it up baby

Shake it up baby
Work it on out
Shake it up
Shake it up
Shake it up
Shake it up
Shake it up
Come a little closer
Twist and shout
You look so good

Thinkin' 'bout you tonight, in a 3-D hotel room in Rome
Chain smoking American cigarettes, and keeping my ears to the phone
Through the blinds to the street my mind wanders
To the nights when I had you alone
Reality becomes science fiction, and my heart's in the warzone
If you won't free me from riding in this rodeo
Juliet loves tonight her vicious Romeo
For your love, I'd give you anything, the stars and the moon in the sky above
Existing for you alone and the moments we steal from each other
A millionaire I'll become, and cry out my name as your lover
I was travelling light as I checked into this heartbreak chateau
But there's no place for me in the sun, that doesn't cast a shadow
Time will free me from riding in this rodeo
Juliet loves tonight her vicious Romeo
For your love, I'd give you anything (for your love)
The stars and the moon in the sky above (for your love)
You say I'm your world, but you are my universe (for your love)
You say that you want me, but you get love's curse
(Solo)
I was travelling light when I checked into this heartbreak chateau
And there's no place for me in the sun, that doesn't cast a shadow
For your love, I'd give you anything (for your love)
The moon and the stars in the sky above (for your love)
You say I'm your world, but baby you are my universe (for your love)
You say that you want me, but all you get's love's curse - ow!
(For your love) I gave you anything (for your love) I gave you anything
(For your love) You shoot off my back (for your love) a million bucks
(For your love) 'Cos I want you (for your love) tonight
(For your love) I want you (for your love) tonight
(For your love) I want you (for your love) tonight
(For your love) I want you tonight!

Sour milk in the saucer
And the cat won't come home
And sometimes New York City
Feels like burnin' Rome
I'm lost and I'm crazy
Too much time on my own
I'd give anything to find a heart
That can't be sold
Welcome to paradise
Here is my brave new world
And in my paradise
I'm waiting for a certain girl
Dead flowers in the darkness
Red rose wrapped in lace
Ice-cold vodka tears
Stainin' my face
My heart's growin' colder
And the things I have seen
Won't someone come and get me
Wake me from this dream
Welcome to paradise
Here is my brave new world
And in my paradise
I'm waiting for a special girl
Here in my paradise
I'm waitin' for something new
And here in my brave new world
I'm waitin' for something new
I can hear church bells ringing
White rice hits blue skies
And the blind still lead the blind
As they look for paradise
Oh yeah
Paradise
Welcome to paradise
Here is my brave new world
And here in my paradise
I'm waiting for a special girl
I'm still looking for paradise
In your eyes you seem so far away
And to find paradise
There's no price that I won't pay
(We all find paradise)
I'm still looking for paradise tonight
(We all find paradise)
And I won't find paradise
I'll make it all right
(We all find paradise)
With you and I
Comes into sight
(We all find paradise)
For you and I
For you and I
Paradise could be right
(We all find paradise)
I'm still looking for paradise tonight
(We all find paradise)
And I won't find paradise
I'll make it all right

I will be there for you
For you are mine
And I'll take care of you
Every single time
I'll be watching over you
When the world seems bitter cold
When you're closer to the edge
And you're feeling so alone
But do you still recognize
When you hear love's voice
I will come through for you
Every single time
And I will be there in your winter
To turn your water into wine
And I'll be there in your darkness
In the daylight like your sun
You see you make my heart beat fast
My love
You are my special one
But do you still recognize
When you hear love's voice
But are you so surprised
That you and I
We've both got a choice
Do you hear my name
On a crowded street
Ain't it such a shame
All our hearts are incomplete
Oh oh oh
Together together
Ah ah ah
I'll be there in your darkness
In the daylight like your sun
See you make my heart beat fast my love
You are my special one
Do you still recognize
When you hear love's voice
Are you surprised
You and I we've both got a choice
Can you feel my heart beat
Like I feel your heart beat
Lovers of the world
Never complete
Can you hear
Can you hear my voice
In this dark and lonely place
You and I will always have a choice
Can't you hearmy voice
Can't you see this look on my face
You and I we've still got a choice
Can't you hearmy voice
Can't you see this look in my eyes
We've both got a choice
Can you hear my voice
Don't you see if you believe in me

Honey you do me wrong
But I'm still crazy about you
Stay away too long
When you know I can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to
Hurt me more and more and more
But each hurt makes my love
Stronger than before
I know flowers grow from rain
But how can love
Grow from this pain
I want to know
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar baby
Ain't it just like you and me
Aw You tell me lies
And you should be honest to me
Me I'm so much in love with you baby
That I don't want to see
That the things you do and say
Are designed to make me blue
It's a crying shame
My love for you
Makes all your lies seem true
If the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger
I want to know right now
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar baby
Ain't it just like you and me
Yeah
Uh Huh
Ah ah yeah
All right
Yeah
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar baby
Ain't it just like you and me
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity right now
Yeah
I want to know right now
Why it means that much to you and me
My poor heart's going to break
I'm making a big mistake
Making my poor heart break
Making me give her a double take
Making my poor heart break
Making me give her a double take
I could change your world
I could
You could and I could
I will
Change your world
(You can I can change our world)
(You can I can change our world)
(You can I can change our world)
(You can I can change our world)
(You can I can change our world)

You've been livin' with your broken heart
I've been trying hard to play the part
But some pretender with an easy smile
Can tell you it's alright
I ain't got nothin' if you leave me now
Just a hypocrite with broken vows
If I could change the way of circumstance
I'd do it just for you
I'm still in love
I'm still in love
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find
I'm still in love
I've been staring in an empty glass
In a downtown bar thinking about the past
I'm spinning 'round you like a moth in flames
But I still can't help myself
And should you tell me
That you've changed your mind
Made some decisions
Gonna cross that line
I can always be available
Cause time is on my side
I'm still in love
I'm still in love
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find
I'm still in love with you
Time will tell the truth for us
It can only make us strong
It'll be alright
I'm still in love
I'm still in love
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find
I'm still in love with you
(I'm) in your eyes (still in love) in my mind
I'm still in love with you
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find
I'm still in love with you
(I'm) can't you see me falling (still in love)
I'm still in love with you
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find
I'm still in love with you
(I'm) can't you see me falling (still in love)

To see if you're alone tonight
Cause I need some more
Of what you got
Me and baby

She's gonna treat me right
Ooh yeah

I wait for sundown on the fire escape
And watch the passing cars downstairs
I'm high above Korean groceries
A sublet castle in the air
It's down to cigarettes and rosaries
Christ, I wish someone would call me
Johnny Thunders on the radio
Ah but ";you can't put your arms
Around a memory";
Maybe I could find a better way
But all I need is to feel connected now
Do you remember me
I sang that song you like
I sang that song for free
Now someone else sounds like me
As I make my way downtown
Downtown
Oh yeah
Downtown
See the old men on the Bowery
Take the night train to the stars
You can find me in the usual place
Inside the Temple Bar
I hear that Sally's got a gift for me
I hear she found it on St. Mark's
These days they all just talk like poetry
And shoot their mouths off shooting sparks
Maybe I could find a better way
But all I need now is to feel connected
Do you remember me
I sang that song you like
Way back in eighty-three
Number one
High as a kite
As I made my way downtown
Downtown
Oh yeah
Downtown
They've got paper cups for charity
Kools, pills and broken teeth, and dope
But I'll take another dry martini
And a chance on hope
And now someone else waits for me
And I got to get downtown
Downtown
Oh yeah
Downtown
I'm going way downtown
Oh yeah
I'm gonna see the man
I'm going way downtown
See the man
Going down yeah
I'm gonna see the man
Going downtown

When I was young
They took me to the dentist
I had a toothache
But that's okay
They gave me some time
And that night in my bedroom
I worked it loose
Like I used to do
One little boy in a dentist's chair
Heard a hundred angels
flying past him
What a gas
Sitting there
The same little boy with a few more years
Took a sniff of this
A taste of that
What a drag
Nothing there
And then one day he saw you walk
And heard you didn't talk
Saw the writing on the wall
It didn't thunder anymore
White lightening it's got nothing on you
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
White lightening way out in the blue
With a million angels singin'
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord
Come on to tell when I tell you to breathe in
I will take out everything while you're sleeping
Always refusing the heavenly music
When you awake it will have a new meaning
White lightening it's got nothing on you
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
White lightening way out in the blue
With a million angels singin'
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord
Come on to tell when I tell you to breathe in
I will take out everything while you're sleeping
Always refusing the heavenly music
When you awake it will have a new meaning
White lightening it's got nothing on you
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
White lightening way out in the blue
With a million angels singin'

I wrote the president
But I got no reply
He claims he tells the truth
He writes it in the sky
The taxman's at the door
Though he never seems polite
They've got me cornered
Cornered in the light
We could change that overnight
So goodnight to all the world
Sleep tight all you boys and girls
I spent some time at school
Livin' by the rules
They didn't like me much
Hypocrites and fools
Old men teach young men
To surrender to the law
The straight and narrow path
Leads to the same old door
Gonne kick it in like before
So goodnight to all the world
Sleep tight all you boys and girls
Heaven walks hand in hand with hell
Rock 'n roll is alive and well
Too many heroes looking dead upon their feet
It's time to raise the roof
And shout it in the street
It's time to take command
It's time to make a stand
Yeah
Don't need a uniform
To know which side I'm on
Don't need a set of rules
To know what's right or wrong
I've been an outcast
In your eyes and to the law
The right hand takes away
The left hand asks for more
But we all know the score
So goodnight to all the world
Sleep tight all you boys and girls
Heaven walks hand in hand with hell
Rock 'n roll is alive
Is alive and well
So goodnight to all the world
Sleep tight all the boys and girls
Heaven walks hand in hand with hell
Rock 'n roll is alive
Is alive and well
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Gonna have some fun tonight
Everything's alright
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight

Give me something I can touch with my hands
Something I can look at and understand
If you're up there, no don't look down on me
Do something quick, I can't pay the rent
Chorus:
Do you believe in Jesus, is he there?
Is there a God above and does he really care? Oh yeah
Jesus are you there, and do you really care?
I don't believe in nothing no more, can't find the truth, I just need to score
Don't give me Hare Chrishna, keep it to yourself man, stand back, get back
(chorus)
Take me on a cruise around the world, give me a break, bring me a girl
Getting crazy 'bout WorldWar III, it's suicide or sanctuary, so
Should I... (chorus)
Jesus are you there? Do you really care - Jesus are you there?
Anybody in? Jesus, Jesus, Jesus are you there?

In this world of right and wrong
The hardest part is beginning
By the time you find
where you belong
You're either losing or winning
Well I don't know how
But people seem to know
When you want somebody
bad enough
Well I want you now
and wherever you go
I'm gonna love ya till
you've had enough cause
If everyone had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine
People treat you like
the clothes you wear
They only see what you show them
Let them talk baby I don't care
They don't know where we're goin'
I love you so much
And I have for so long
How could anybody doubt it
Oh just one little touch
This love is so strong
Baby how can we live without it
If everyone had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine
When you love somebody
You may stumble you may fall
But if you love somebody hard enough
Maybe you can get it all
If everyone had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine
Anybody in the world
If everyone had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine
If anybody had a heart
If everyone had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine
If anybody had a heart

I've been watching you, watching me
Can't you tell what I'm going through?
I wanna hold your fire, wanna get you higher
Think of the things we'll do
You put it out there, then you take it back
You treat me like I'm your toy
You know exactly what you're doing, just another heart in ruin
But I just wanna be your boy
It's evil, when something's so bad makes you feel this good
It's evil, alright, it's in my blood and it feels like it should
Start to feel the rush of the thoughtful time
Moonlight's kicking in the door
Stay awake and keep it roar
Go all night and got before, you're beautiful
I'm gonna take you on a drive around Central Park
Buy you some real good french wine
I'll treat you like a queen, you got a spell on me
It's a voodoo kind of thing
It's evil, when something's so bad makes you feel this good
It's evil, alright, it's in my blood and it feels like it should
She's so evil, way she walks into the room
And I may not leave here alive
And the evil, and the evil, and the evil, and the evil
Don't you know it's evil
When something's so bad makes you feel this good
It's evil, alright
It's in my blood and it feels like it should
It's evil
When something so bad makes you feel this good

She's got a certain style in everything she does
She's someone to know, just because, yeah, just because, yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah, come on, be my little baby tonight
She's seen everywhere, looking like Venus too
Emotional suicide, she couldn't give a damn, no, guess she shows
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah, come on, be my little baby tonight
She's got a heart of gold, and nerves of steel
Feels like broken glass, she's so unreal
(Solo)
She's got a velvet touch, igniting a frozen heart
She's indispensible, she'll tear your soul apart, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah, come on, be my little baby tonight
Yeah, come on, come on, come on, come on and be my little baby tonight

Well you fooled me sayin' livin' ain't fast
Drinkin' cheap champagne, got a second chance
You got a lover and he's 6'5
Ain't he shakin' you up, ain't you glad you're alive
It's a wild life, you're not in my shoes, a wild life
A wild life, I do what I want, a wild life, my life, yeah yeah
I'm still living in a hole in the wall
With a jukebox playing and a heart that's tall
Got no excuses for the way that I live
You're so eager to take, I'm so eager to give
It's a wild life, you're not in my shoes, a wild life
A wild life, I do what I want, a wild life, my life, wild life
Wild life, so get off my back, a wild life
Wild life, I do what I want, a wild life, my life, yeah
(Solo)
I am looking for a steady romance, for a lucky break or a second chance
I've been a winner, I've been a loser too
But I don't know what is better, I'm still looking for you
It's a wild life, you're not in my shoes, a wild life, I got nothing to lose
A wild life, I do what I want, a wild life, my life, wild life
Wild life, you're not in my shoes, a wild life, I got nothing to lose
A wild life, I go where I please, a wild life, my life
Wild life, baby it's a wild life, wild life, baby it's a wild life
Wild life, baby it's a wild life, wild life

Give your love away, it's not the way you seem
'Cos someone's just come in your life, and broken up your dreams
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
And if my eyes are empty, well that's the way I'm meant to be
What I got, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
Whatever I once was is fading fast away
My soul is like a shadow, growing fainter in the day
I've never loved you more, but you feel so out of reach
My life is like a sun, sinking slowly in the beach
What I got, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
(Solo)
What I got, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
What I got, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
(Solo)
So give your love away, it's not the way you seem
'Cos someone's just come in your life, and broken up your dreams
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
And if my eyes are empty, well that's the way I'm meant to be
What I got, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
What I got, somebody, who am I, I got the world in a bottle

When I was young, they took me to the dentist
I had a toothache, but that's okay
They gave me some time, and that night in my bedroom
I worked it loose, like I used to do
One little boy in a dangerous chair
Heard a hundred angels flying past him, what a gas, sitting there
The same little boy with a few more years
Took a sniff of this, a taste of that, what a drag, nothing there
And then one day he saw you walk, and heard you didn't talk

Come on to tell when I tell you to breathe in
I will take out everything while you're sleeping
Always refusing the heavenly music
When you awake, it will have a new meaning

She's just a working girl from Baltimore
She'll choose you, she's been there, she's been there and back again
It's in and out, it's up, it's down, it's a mercenary
And you get what you need when you walk on the streets of paradise
Invoke in the streets, indecision - yeah yeah yeah, white heat in fashion
She'll take you home, she'll take you where you wanna get back to
You're sweet sixteen, but you will be a man tonight
It's to the wall, it's to the floor, she's in a hurry
But you get what you pay for when you live on the streets of paradise
In heat, invoke, impassioned - yeah yeah yeah, white heat in fashion
Hard cash, indiscrete, wild passion, in heat, invoke, in fashion
White heat, cold passion, 8th Avenue, indecision
In heat, on the street, in fashion, invoke in style
White heat, cool looks, hard cash, on the street
Invoke in style, indiscretion, in trains, in bars, in heat
White heat, invoke in fashion, hard cash, indiscrete, wild passion
White heat in fashion, white heat in fashion
White heat in fashion, white heat, indiscrete, ignition

Missin' at school, bustin' the rules, hates everything in sight
Needs some new shoes, dad's on the booze, she's never there
Far away kid, all on his own, can't tell the wrong from right
Thin as a rake, tough as a nail tonight, tonight
Here are your hopes for the future you'll see
If you hang 'round the neck of a loser like me
There's no one else in your life, you don't need anyone
Come with me in the night, I will give you the matches
I will make you complete, won't you please come with me
I won't ask you again, I can give you the hopes of a younger man
In the night we can hear, I'm your friend and what's more
I will give you what you've been looking for
Yes I can give you what you've been looking for
Should I run, should I take it, should I go or should I stay?
Who shall I admire in this game that we play
I wanna be somebody someday, living my life away
But I can't find a job, I can't pay the rent
Police are always breathing down my neck
And there's no way out, there's no way out no more
Under this flag we're all Union Jacks
And there's no home for the brave, and there's no way back
We are the obeyer, we are the law
In stained boots, a knify blue, hello, hello, hello
With fire in my heart and you along beside me, we'll burn down all the schools
The torment and nothing better than to live by all the rules
Made by the rules ain't classes so
The scales are just as stiff, and the flavor of the growin' mart
] (repeats 2x)
Under this flag we're all Union Jacks
And there's no home for the brave, and there's no way back
Under this flag we're all Union Jacks
And there's no home for the brave, and there's no way back tonight
Here are your hopes for the future you'll see
You're like me, we're all Union Jacks

You've been livin' with your broken heart
I've been trying hard to play the part
But some pretender with an easy smile can tell you it's alright
I ain't got nothin' if you leave me now, just a hypocrite with broken vows
If I could change the way of circumstance, I'd do it just for you
I'm (still in love) I'm still in love
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find, I'm still in love
I've been staring in an empty glass
In a downtown bar, thinkin' 'bout the past
I'm spinning 'round you like a moth in flames, but I still can't help myself
And should you tell me that you've changed your mind
Made some decisions, gonna cross that line
I can always be available, 'cos time is on my side
I'm (still in love) I'm still in love
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find, I'm still in love with you
Time will tell the truth for us, it can only make us strong, it'll be alright
(Solo)
I'm (still in love) I'm still in love
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find, I'm still in love with you
(I'm) in your eyes (still in love) in my mind, I'm still in love with you
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find, I'm still in love with you
(I'm) can't you see me falling (still in love) I'm still in love with you
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find, I'm still in love with you
(I'm) can't you see me falling (still in love) I'm still in love with you...

Workin' overtime just to keep myself from getting sacked
Well I don't like my job, tell the boss to shove it, I ain't goin' back
Just like Gene Vincent, I'm longin' to prove, I know what I need this time
Me and my girl together, yeah, Saturday night, oh yeah, Saturday night
Lookin' at my watch, tap my fingers, wishin' time would fly
Gonna look so sharp, she and I will turn some heads as we walk by
And just like [Deniro], I wait for [still life] to move out of my mind tonight
I might suddenly all feel better, Saturday night, oh yeah, Saturday night, ow
(Solo)
And I feel like the rain on the edge of a rhyme, on the streets of shame
Forever in an instant, Saturday night, oh yeah, Saturday night
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday night
Crossin' out the days in my brain, gonna get it good, gonna get it right
Ain't it just like [Deniro], to be dancin' in the streets
I know what I need this time
Me and my girl together, ow, yeah, Saturday night, oh yeah, Saturday night
Saturday night, oh yeah, alright, alright, oh yeah, alright, alright...
Saturday night!

Come on baby, don't you wanna go? I could take you there
You could get what you want in the south, you could let down your hair
I said do you, don't you, will you, won't you
Baby won't you please let me know
I ain't talkin' 'bout Chicago, I'm talkin' about Mexico
Makin' a run for Mexico, makin' a run for Mexico - could you
Come on baby, 'cos I got to go, the law is after me
I killed a man in a bar last night, there was no other way it could be
While the air in this joint could be cut with a knife
As the jukebox got rocked into lections
Bring a compass and some money for gas, 'cos I ain't gonna stop for directions
Not to Mexico
Makin' a run to Mexico, makin' a run to Mexico - could you
(Solo)
Come on baby, don't you wanna go? I gotta get away
And everytime the phone rings, it scares me to death
Saw my face in the paper today
I don't wanna hear the stories 'bout your mama and papa
No I don't wanna hear you cry
For me there's no second chance right now, it's the end for me, I can't lie
Makin' a run to Mexico, makin' a run to Mexico, makin' a run to Mexico
My life goes on in Mexico
Mexico, [ in Mexico ] (repeats out)

I wrote the president, but I got no reply
He claims he tells the truth, he writes it in the sky
The taxman's at the door, though he never seems polite
They've got me cornered, cornered in the light, we could change that overnight
So goodnight to all the world, sleep tight all you boys and girls
I spent some time at school, livin' by the rules
They didn't like me much, hypocrites and fools
Old men teach young men to surrender to the law
The straight and narrow path leads to the same old door
Gonne kick it in like before
Chorus:
So goodnight to all the world, sleep tight all you boys and girls
Heaven walks hand in hand with hell, rock 'n roll is alive and well
Too many heroes looking down upon their feet
It's time to raise the roof and shout it in the street
It's time to take command, it's time to make a stand - yeah
Don't need a uniform to know which side I'm on
Don't need a set of rules to know what's right or wrong
I've been an outcast in your eyes and to the law
The right hand takes away, the left hand asks for more
But we all know the score
(chorus repeats 2x)
Goodnight (repeats out)
Gonna have some fun tonight, everything's alright

Three years come, I'm still alone and you're so lonely
I look in the mirror, I see those lines on my face
All of my dreams are gone, flyin' with the starlings
But they were not stolen gems, coloured glass I can't replace
Chorus:
You've got a restless heart, restless change is blowing through your life
Tears in your eyes, and tears in the books that I've been reading
I don't understand you now, and I never did
But I still love your restless heart
Days into nights and nights into days, lights flicker 'round me
And down to the shore I walk, I'm haunted by your face
Ungracious moves I've made, just like a broken dancer
If I could get you back, they are steps I would retrace
(chorus - with "...and I never will")
(Solo)
Three years come, you're still alone and I'm so lonely
And I would give anything, to feel my heart beat again
I wouldn't say that I've been losin' time, I've been dreamin'
And I'd give up anything to keep you as my friend
(chorus - with "But I love you")
And I know you've got a restless heart
(Restless heart) I know you've got a restless heart (you)
(Restless heart) I know (you)
You got a restless heart (restless heart), and I know it (you)
You got a restless heart (restless heart), you got a restless heart (you)
I know it (restless heart), but I'm just like you (you), just like you

I can't play these games with you no more
I get my fingers caught inside your door
Now everything I say is just a joke, spendin' my money now, you leave me broke
Living someone's life in clear blue skies, fairytales and dreams and alibis
All you want from me are things for you, use me till I don't know what to do
You live in your own world anyway, twistin' every single thing I say
In my home town I feel out of place
Changed my name, I'll find a different face - you tell me
No more cool Mr. Wonderful, no more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal, it's drivin' me out of my mind, yeah
I can hear the wolves outside the bar, sometimes I don't know which one you are
Imitation's all that you accept, shadows of myself that you once met
Bottles in the alley break and smash
Get into the car for one car crash - you tell me
No more cool Mr. Wonderful, no more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal, it's drivin' me down, drivin' me down to my knees
(Solo)
No more cool Mr. Wonderful, no more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal, it's drivin' me down to my knees
Mr. Wonderful, no more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal, it's drivin' me out of my mind
No more cool Mr. Wonderful, no more nice Mr. Clean, no more cool Mr. Ideal, oh
No way, Mr. Wondeful, no way, no way, Ideal, Wonderful, Ideal, Wonderful...

Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
Chorus:
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say
And there's a message that I'm sending out, like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance, stop this heartbreak overload
(chorus)
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
(chorus)
Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself
Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, ain't missing you, oh no
No matter what my friends might say, I ain't missing you...

Love is a rose to me, growin' desperate and I'm desperately
Reliving memories, for love is a rose
And when you look at me, there's no one that I would rather see
You make me feel complete, for love is a rose
(Solo)
Love is a rose to me, picked and pressed in books of poetry
Young lovers never see that love is a rose, love is a rose to me

You used to celebrate it, when I came in at 6 am
Ooh babe, I could never really fake it, 'cos I was in love again
Love don't prove, love don't prove I'm right
Love don't prove, love don't prove I'm right
You used to sing and shout it, showing me what you got
Ooh babe, I could never really doubt it, 'cos baby, you got such a lot
Love don't prove, love don't prove I'm right - no no
Love don't prove, love don't prove
Ooh you used to celebrate, ooh now you have to wait, you're gonna wait
(Solo)
Love don't prove, love don't prove I'm right - no no no no no no
Love don't prove, love don't prove
If you need a hand to guide you, let me be your northern light
You could give me all of your lovin', and I'll make everything alright
Love don't prove, love don't prove I'm right - no no no
Love don't prove, love don't prove I'm right
Love don't prove, love don't prove that I'm right - oh yeah

Ain't it beautiful, don't it make you feel complete
It comes into your life, then sweeps you right off your feet
Time stands still for two lovers, and it's intangible, but it hits like steel
It stops me in my tracks, makes my private world unsealed
I crashed car, in communication failsafe
We can share this vision, in fact we've got no choice
Into the arena of love, speaking with one voice
Ain't it something else, like skydiving into Shangri-la
And the clearest cool is the zeal-blue heaven
And you can't quite put your finger on it
And you could be anywhere, anytime, anyplace, in your lover's arms
Could be paradise, or walkin' on thin ice
We can share this vision, we're on some one-way street
Exchanging cigarettes and glances, we both feel the heat
It's a love collision, love collision, and there's no decision
It's a love collision
If I close my eyes, visualizing you and I somewhere in this city
And moments of desire, the steady the silent gaze of lovers transfixed
We could share this vision, in fact we've got no choice
Into the arena of love, speaking with one voice
It's a love collision, love collision, and there's no decision
It's a love collision
Love collision (repeats out)

So you're standing in the darkness, with your back against the wall
And your eyes look kind of distant, then I knew, you'd seen it all
It was then that you betrayed me, 'cos I could see right through your gaze
I guess you and I (baby) have seen much better days
You used to be so taken with the last isle of the King
Now you find love's everything
You're going to the top, you found somebody special
Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well
You could've been somebody, a contender
I guess that chance just passed you by
Now you can't remember who to trust, but I sure wish that you'd try
And nothing gets you nothing, and you get back what you give
You can't hold out much longer, it's time for you to live
You used to be so taken with the last isle of the King
Now you find love's everything
You're going to the top, you found somebody special
Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, yeah
You're going to the top, you're falling up to heaven
And now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, yeah
Good things are gonna find you, though somebody's got to pay
You could always turn your back and walk, but I sure wish that you'd stay
(Solo)
You're going to the top, you found somebody special
Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, these days
You're going to the top, you're falling up to heaven
And your heart ain't gonna stop, and you know I wish you well, these days
You're going to the top, you found somebody special
And your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, these days
You're going to the top, and now you're someone special
And I still think of you a lot, and you know I wish you well, yeah

Storm warning on the radio, flag and banners
Armageddon on the late night show, and like my father before
We've got love on the barricades
Sweet optimists, battle hymns and hitparades
Armageddon cascades, what's my name? Jack of Spades
Outside my window is darkness and rain
And I'm only dreamin', 'til the sun shines again
Got nothing but a uniform, jungle issue, and rules that I will warm
[All my needs like a storm]/[On my knees, head cast down]
Serial number stands across my name
My fate is decided by kangaroo cops, it's insane
Tin soldiers marching in flames, what's my name? Jack of Spades
Outside my window is darkness and rain
And I'm only dreamin', until the sun shines again
But there's no phoenix rising, and the future's stillborn
And the shadows are dancing, my coat of colours is torn, in Euro
(Solo)
Supernova on the Baltic Sea, push-button logic, [the human eyes in me]
And it gets a lot like TV
We've got children starving in the streets
Genocide for passion, and no man withstands this heat
Kids in [Parm] don't compete, the boss gets the [iron in the cold]
Outside my window, clouds fill my sky
And I'm only dreamin', but there's no time to turn the tide
There's no phoenix rising, and the future's stillborn
Dark shadows are dancing, my coat of colours is torn, in Euroshima
Oh no, Euro, Euroshima, oh no, Euro, ow!

No guardian angel looking down on me tonight
I'm on the streets again, an' I can't tell wrong from right
I'm on the run from love, but I don't know what I'm running for
But it all looks alright, when I'm standing at your door
This could be ecstacy, I've been dreaming of you
This could be reality, tonight, tonight, desperate love
Got no reflection in the mirror anymore
I'm falling backwards, but I never hit the floor
Don't give me counterfits, I need the real thing
This ain't a game no more, I'm bettin' everything
This could be ecstacy, I've been dreaming of you
This could be reality, tonight, tonight, desperate love, yeah, desperate love
I don't feel I should fight, when you pull me through your door
You take me to your room and show me what I'm living for
And I lose myself, but my heart keeps poundin'
If you won't take me now, don't take me anymore
'Cos I don't read books, but I know the score
This could be ecstacy, I've been dreaming of you
This could be reality, tonight
You could be next to me, I've been waiting for you
This could be reality, tonight, yeah
(Solo)
I don't feel I should fight, when you pull me through your door
You take me to your room and show me what I'm living for
And I lose myself, but my heart keeps poundin'
If you won't take me now, don't take me anymore
'Cos I don't need books, to know the score
You could be next to me, I've been dreaming of you
This could be ecstacy, tonight, tonight, desperate love
Yeah, desperate love, desperate love, yeah, desperate love
Ooh, yeah, desperate love, desperate, desperate love
Desperate, desperate love, love, it's desperate, desperate love...

I heard that she's back in town
Heard she's been seen around
I hear she gets
What she wants everytime
I know what she put you through
I know what you'd like to do
Cause I lost my heart
To her sometime ago
So come on
Wipe your tears away
It's all that you can do
A broken heart never mends
Crying tears til the very end
At home on the boulevard
Cheap whiskey and tarot cards
Man she's outrageous
She wants the best in life
Sugar daddies with agin' wives
She's expensive everything she does
So come on
Wipe your tears away
It's all that you can do
A broken heart never mends
Crying tears til the very end
She knows what it must be like
Living in paradise
If you ain't got money she don't wanna know
I know what she put you through
I know what you'd like to do
I lost my heart to her sometime ago
So come on
Wipe your tears away
It's all that you can do
When you've got a broken heart
Come on
Wipe your tears away
It's all that you can do

Hear a message on my radio, I get home, I got nowhere to go
Think about ya day and night, I'll be waiting, so when it feels right
Anytime you want at all, anytime, anytime you want, just call
Heart beats faster, lose control, a burnin' fever gets you alone
I need your love, you're the only one
The night is passin', I could soon be gone
So anytime you want at all, anytime
Anytime you want, just call, anytime you wanna rock 'n roll
(Solo)
Anytime
Telephone, telegram, come on over, make me feel like a man
A crack of thunder over my home town, I read the future, it has to go down
So anytime you want at all, anytime
Anytime you want, just call, anytime you wanna rock 'n roll
Anytime you need my love, anytime, anytime you want, just call, ooh yeah
Anytime you want my love, anytime you're on your own
(Anytime, anytime) Anytime you want my love (anytime, anytime)...
