Commercial crucifixion
Why bow to those in charge
No questions follow aimlessly
Time to give away your mind
Collide with accepted opinion
You're making it hard
For yourself - in this so called choice
And are we permitted to have imagination
Recognise this dormant attitude
Don't listen to those who destroy
This instintive direction
Who is anyone to lay judgement and
Judge you if you don't follow on passively
You're fucking with destiny
Down to your own inferior declne
We can't beat them but won't join them
We won't rise up to their ideals
Lies, destructive lies
We criticise you in the public eyes
Down but not out
They criticise us in the public eye
Lies, destructive lies
We criticise you in the public eye
Dare to differ and do you fear
Being the outcat
Afraid of what they might say
Turn your back
And let prejudice criticise you
The worst thing that could happen
Had happened to me
My best friend and my baby left town for California
without saying anything
Everybody gets a little rain sometimes
Everybody gets a little rain sometimes
I've seen it before, I'll see it again
Now I just let it pour down
'cause there's nothing you can do about it
...you just get wet
Everybody gets a little rain sometimes
Everybody gets a little rain sometimes
(Chorus)
Take your overcoat
Get your rubber soul
Put your rain hat on
It's getting cold
When clouds appear, be careful dear
The weather changes suddenly
The best thing that could happen
Has happened to me
My baby's in the city
Wants me to forgive her
But I can't bring myself to tell her
Everybody gets a little rain sometimes
Everybody gets a little rain sometimes
Chorus
It falls and it falls
Always gonna, always gonna fall
VERSE
Operator got a party line
Havin' trouble gettin' to that girl of mine
Gotta stay in touch, I don't want to lose her
She's really too much, I gotta talk to her
VERSE II
It's a mighty long way to Louisiana...
G.T.E. is messin' up my plans
Lines get crossed everytime I call her
I can't get through at all
CHORUS
I try to get in touch with you
Party Line
No luck no matter what I do
Party Line
VERSE III
Remember Chuck Berry on the radio
say "Help me operator, get the one I know"
I'm holdin' that line, reachin' my extension
I'm runnin' out of dimes so won't you pay attention
VERSE IV
In between the buzzin' and the ringing tones
I tell her that I love her but we're not alone
Who's that voice diggin' all the gossip
I can't get through at all
( CHORUS )
BRIDGE
Hang up and try it again...
It's been a long time since I've been scramblin' down
On the wrong side of your love
And I don't care if you say I'm wasting my time
Cause you're the only one I'm thinking of
Since I spent my whole life ramblin'
Round from town to town
And I need Open Soul Surgery
When you were eighteen I took you from your mother and
sister
Cause you didn't need that kind of protection
And now I hate seein' you comin on like some kinda bitch
Just cause your life ain't what you were expectin'
Since I spent my whole life ramblin
Round from town to town
And I need Open Soul Surgery
Since I spent my whole life ramblin
Round from town to town
And I need Open Soul Surgery
Open Soul Surgery
Oh I need surgery
Open Soul Surgery
Every night is a different flight to a different galaxy
Do a sold-out show, then I hit the road in my starship
limousine
Get so damned tired and uninspired doin' all these one
night stands
It's a giant leap for Rock'n'Roll...but it's too much for
just one man
I'm a Spaceship Superstar... gotta solar-powered laser
beam guitar
I'm at the top of all the charts on Mars...I'm a
Spaceship Superstar!
On Mercury, they're crazy about my stellar rock'n'roll
And I always sell out in advance at the Martian Astrobowl
The fans, they swarm like meteorites to our concerts on
the moon
You should have seen us knock'em dead on Venus doin' all
our favorite tunes
I'm a Spaceship Superstar...gotta solar-powered laser
beam guitar
I'm at the top of all the charts on Mars...I'm a
You had me on your side but even now we're far away
I've got to settle down you know I've waited for so long
But you walked away again, just as it was time to start
And don't lead me on again, you know it breaks my heart
You walked away again before love even had a chance
You walked away again before we even said romance
You walked away again
You walked away again
You want to talk again but all I get's a busy line
I can't control myself goin' through this all the time
But you walked away again, just as it was time to start
Don't lead me on again, it's tearin' me apart
You walked away again before love even had a chance
You walked away again before we even said romance
You walked away again
You walked away again
You walked away again
You walked away again before love even had a chance
You walked away again before we even said romance
You walked away again before love even had a chance
You walked away again before we even said romance
You walked away again
You walked away again
Looking right through you she knows who you are she's got
see forever eyes
A spirit obsessed, a vision possessed with universal
inner sight
No stranger to love she's had many men but none of them
survived
Her crystal excites so follow the light of her see
forever eyes
CHORUS
See Forever Eyes
See Forever Eyes
Beholding the mirror her eyes give a feeling of lonely
vacant skies
Soaring above always searching for love the soul within
her flies
Caught by a glance, in a gossamer trance, woven by her
lies
Compelling them nearer, dispelling their fear with her
see forever eyes
-SOLO-
Been three weeks since we first met
That was a time that I just can't forget
Oh baby, thinking about you
I didn't believe in love at first sight
That was before I met you that night
Oh baby, I think I want you
Cause I didn't want to come on too strong
I've waited so long
So when will I see you again
(When will I see you again)
(When will I see you again)
You said you like me
And my heart stood still
Well you said you'd see me
And hoping that you will
Oh baby, did you tell me the truth
Cause I never felt this feeling before
Leaves me wanting more
So when will I see you again
(When will I see you again)
(When will I see you again)
Ahhh yeah tell me baby
When yeah
(When will I see you again)
(When will I see you again)
Cause I didn't want to come on to strong
I've waited so long
So when will I see you
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
Don't leave me standing alone
When will I see you again
(When will I see you again)
(When will I see you again)
Tell me babe, I want to know
(When will I see you again)
(When will I see you again)
I want to see you today
(When will I see you again)
(When will I see you again)
I think I just need to see you darling
(When will I see you again)
Pulled into Vladivostok
Must have been a hundred degrees below
And I can't remember ever being that cold
Then they shackled us like criminals
And put us on a train
And we waited in the darkness and the snow
We awakened in the morning
As the train began to roll
And the freezing Russian winter
Had already claimed its toll
From mountains ever northward
Seemed like six or seven days
Till we finally found the place we were to go
Hey Hey Vladivostok...What's it gonna be?
I'm so lonely, you're the only place thats left for me
Hey Hey Vladivostok, you got me on my knees
It's been so long since I went wrong
Someone help me, won't you please
I wish that I could see you
Hold you near just one more time
And hear you say the things you used to do
Well, lo and behold, I see before my eyes
A vision...apparition of you
You know I'd go a thousand miles
And I'd walk most all the way
Just to see you smile the way you do
For the plans you made long ago
Hear the engines roar as we walked throught the doors
I just can't believe this dream is over
Virginia look up in the sky, don't it bring you sorrow
We know when ever you gonna fly, I will be there tomorrow
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
It's easy to release me when you're three thousand miles
away
You no longer care, when I'm no longer there
And all the love we have will fade away, fade away
Virginia please hold on to me, don't leave it all behind
Is there something I can say, that will change your mind
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
So look around you now at this faceless crowd
You can walk right out and forget it
Virginia we got too much love to bring it to an end
And I know if I let you go, I'll never see you again
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
I'm from another country, an alien nation
It's in another world of my own creation
I'm light years away, and nobody's trying to reach me
Despite what I say, nobody knows what I mean
(Chorus)
Turn your radar, radar, radar, radar on
Turn on your radar, radar, radar
I don't want to be alone...
I'd like to get the feeling that someone knew me
But everywhere I go they seem to see right through me
They don't want to hear...How can I get them to listen?
Is it clear....oh I want someone to love
(CHORUS-SOLO)
Like an object in space...Does anyone know who I am?
The planet dies ... no one cries
So hard to believe
If there was somewhere else to go
You know I'd be the first to leave
I don't mean to sound ungrateful
But I'm afraid that I just can't stay
I had a dream the other night
And as the dream unfurled
I took a trip in a rocket ship
And I found another world
They told me about their Kaptin
They'd have to ask him could I stay - I said
Take me to the Kaptin
And tell him why I'm here
I want to stay in your world
While my world disappears
Won't you take me to the Kaptin
And tell him why I'm here
I want to stay in your world
While my world disappears
(solo)
I had a dream the other night
And as the dream unfurled
I took a trip in a rocket ship
And I found another world
They told me about their Kaptin
They'd have to ask him could I stay - I said
Take me to the Kaptin
And tell him why I'm here
I want to stay in your world
While my world disappears
Won't you take me to the Kaptin
And tell him why I'm here
I want to stay in your world
Is this love I'm feelin' now
Or just my mind that tumbles down
Is it the stars that tell us what to know
Is it the mainline to the public show
Oh take me, take me, take me away!
Take me, take me, take me away!
Solo
Take me, take me, take me away!
Take me, take me, take me away!
Deep in a moments overflow
I hear a voice from long ago
Splash in the water...echo's time
Flash in the pan is a pantomime
Oh take me, take me, take me away!
Take me, take me, take me away!
Take me, take me, take me away!
Take me, take me, take me away!
Hey little girl, I'm a man of the world
Some say I've been around
Hey little girl, can I show you the world
Lay down beside me now
Never forget, this moment we met
Forever recall this night
Doin' it all on a night to remember
Night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone
Turn out the light, look in my eyes
Open your heart to me
Love on the run, it's only begun
Darlin' I know you'll see
Sweet talk and wine, spendin' the time
Learnin' what love's all about
Never forget, this moment we met
Don't let it end without doin' it all on a night to
remember
Night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone
A night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone
Sweet talk and wine, spendin' the time
Learnin' what love's all about
Never forget, this moment we met
Don't let it end without doin' it all on a night to
remember
Night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone
A night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone
A night to remember, a night to live on
Mirror man, lives his life alone
Close at hand, got his telephone
Saturday night out on the street
Hustlin' ice, an eye on the heat
Mirror man, you in a danger zone
Everynite, things he can't avoid
Drive him wild', make him paranoid
Another day, another episode
You make a mistake and it's all over
Mirror man he hasn't got a choice
Mirror, mirror man
Mirror, mirror man
Mirror, mirror man
He is blinded by the rising sun
In his mind don't know back from front
Haunted by his flipped out dreams
He wonders what life really means
Mirror man they got you on the run
Mirror, mirror man
Mirror, mirror man
I can't complain about the way we tried
So maybe it's the time to say goodbye
Not gonna look around, I'm just gonna look away
Don't put the reasons back in my head
Said you loved me then you left me for dead
Not gonna look at you, I'm just gonna look away
It's that jealousy, comin' over me
It's that jealousy, breakin' my heart
Oh jealousy, takin' control over me
But you just gotta know, that I can't let go
And it's time that you knew, I can't stop lovin' you
You say that I'm a sentimental fool
But all I tried to do was try to go with you
Not gonna stick around, I ain't gonna stick it out
Now listen, it's been a battle since you broke my heart
I'll tell you baby, it's been comin' down hard
Not gonna look around, I'm just gonna look away
It's that jealousy, comin' over me
It's that jealousy, breakin' my heart
Oh jealousy, takin' control over me
But you just gotta know, that I can't let go
And it's time that you knew, I can't stop lovin' you
Oh jealousy, comin' over me
It's that jealousy, breakin' my heart
Oh jealousy, comin' over me
It's that jealousy, breakin' my heart
Oh jealousy, jealousy
Oh jealousy, jealousy
Oh jealousy, jealousy
Oh jealousy, jealousy
Oh jealousy, jealousy
What you gonna do when I'm gone?
Who you gonna turn to when you just can't carry on?
Who you gonna run to when it's over?
Maybe you'll believe me when I'm gone
Maybe if I leave you'll realize where we went wrong
You shouldn't be surprised to know
It's Over
It's Over
It's Over
(solo)
Maybe in a day you'll change your mind
Maybe if I stay we'll work it out if there's still time
Cause baby if I leave you now
It's Over
It's Over
If there's somewhere else you'd rather be
I wish you'd go there now
If there's someone else. don't stay with me
Cause I don't wanna doubt the love that you give
Make it for real or make it goodbye
I don't want to want you anymore
'Cause I've been hurt
Too many times before
I don't want to want you anymore
If you don't want me
Is there any reason why you changed
It gets me so confused
I don't know why you should find it strange
That I want you to choose between him and me
How can I lose what I've already lost
I don't want to want you anymore
'Cause I've been hurt
Too many times before
I don't want to want you anymore
If you don't want me
Well then let me know
Don't keep me in the dark
We've been lovers
We've been friends
But if it's gone too far
I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, baby
Oh, I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, girl
I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, baby ahh
I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you, girl
I don't want to want you anymore
'Cause I've been hurt
Too many times before
I don't want to want you anymore
If you don't want me
(I don't want to want you)
(I don't want to want you, baby)
(I don't want to want you)
(I don't want to want you, girl)
I know you don't want me
(I don't want to want you)
(I don't want to want you, girl)
Baby, don't you know I want you, I want you
(I don't want to want you)
(I don't want to want you, girl)
(I don't want to want you)
I was a sucker for the hard stuff
Bashed my head against the wall
Now I'm a junkie for your good love
Feel like the King of Rock n' Roll
I ain't looking anymore
Baby, I ain't looking anymore
I ain't looking anymore
'Cause I found what I've been looking for...
Maybe we should live together
A story written in the stars
I hope you believe me when I tell you (baby)
I love you more than my guitar
(Chorus)
I ain't looking anymore
I ain't looking anymore
I ain't looking anymore
I would climb a mountain,
to have reached the edge of the world
I would be scared of falling,
I would be scared to fail
I even reach the edge of heaven just to be with you
I wanna reach up to the ray of light,
Wanna taste a long and lasting life,
Till the edge of heaven
I wanna reach up to the ray of light,
Wanna taste a long and lasting life,
Till the edge of heaven, till the edge of heaven
Till the edge of heaven
Till the edge of heaven, till the edge of heaven
Just a day with you
To be with you
I wanna reach up to the ray of light,
Wanna taste a long and lasting life,
Till the edge of heaven, till the edge of heaven
Till the edge of heaven
Here we are wakin’ up by the firelight
Now you’re worried ‘cause it's four a.m.
And I'm wonderin’ what you gonna say to him
And as problems go
I'd say we’ve got one here
Do you wanna leave or do you wanna get closer?
I think you mighta stayed just a little too long - oh
yeah
Oh don't let him know
Don't show him what's in your eyes
Don't let him know
Does he know about you breakin’ the rules?
Does he listen to your lies?
What's gonna happen when you run out of alibis?
Is it easy when you're walkin’ out?
Do you smile as you're leavin’?
If I were you I'd be wonderin’ when he’s gonna get even
I think you mighta stayed just a little too long - oh
yeah
Oh don't let him know
Don't show him what's in your heart
Don't let him know
Don't let him know
Is it easy when you're walkin’ out?
Do you smile as you're leavin’?
If I were you I'd be wonderin’ when he’s gonna get even
I think you mighta stayed just a little too long - oh
yeah
Oh don't let him know
Don't show him what's in your eyes
Don't let him know
Don't let him know
Don't show him what's in your heart
Don't let him know
Don't let him know
Cover girl you've come a long way
New Mercedes in the driveway
Oh oh, she's just a small town girl at heart
I'm concerned with what they say
Reputation on display
Oh how people like to talk.
I saw her picture in a magazine row
Blue eyes shinin by the cellophane glow
Tonight she's giving it all away, she's all right
My Cover Girl
Five years in eighteen months
She got everything all at once
She moved out that's when he moved in
Cover Girl it's such a damn waste
You were more than just a pretty face
I never thought I'd never see you again
I saw her picture in a magazine row
Blue eyes shinin by the cellophane glow
Tonight she's giving it all away, she's all right
My Cover Girl
SOLO
Cover Girl you've come a long way
New Mercedes in the driveway
Oh oh she's just a small town girl at heart
Cover Girl it's such a damn waste
You were more than just a pretty face
I never thought I'd never see you again
I saw her picture in a magazine row
Blue eyes shinin by the cellophane glow
Tonight she's giving it all away, she's all right
My Cover Girl
I saw her picture on the 6-o clock news
There was a full moon over Memphis
National Guard outside
thousands wait for Elvis
Waitin' ever since he died
or a miracle gonna happen
His eminence to restore
The sound of thunder crackin'
Signals the beginning
of the war to end all wars
(chorus)
Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
Jerry and Linda in the whitehouse
President sleepin' in his shoes
red phones ring in the blackout
Ain't got time to lose
U-boats off New England
Enemy submarines
from Boston to Miami
On a red alert,
you better scramble all the F-15's
(chorus)
Fifty cities in a jet plane
You people get us so high
We blow the doors off
Then we're up again
Dreamin' across the sky
(chorus)
Well it's alright
I'm on the right flight
Cause tonight I'm comin' through
Yes it's alright
I'll be home tonight
I'll be comin' home to you
Turning it on along a hard road
I can't say where we've been
We're feelin' strong
It's been a heavy load
But now we're comin' in
After the show
There's a knock on my door
Looks like a party tonight
The boys are for it
But I've been there before
You know I turn out the light
(chorus)
Comin' home, comin' home
I'm comin' home to you
Where you goin', why you leavin'
I gotta get away, I got my reasons
I had to hide away and take my feelin's
So when I die inside, you'll never see it
And I'm havin' trouble with the things in my way
Coz they seem to be bigger than just yesterday
And my skin is so thick that I can't get out and no
Nobody cares wat I'm talking about
I don't want you to know
Because I'm the only one who needs to
I don;t care what you know
I only care about myself who needs you
Why should I feel or show
It's the only way that I can face the day
You should leave me alone
And I'll deal with it in my own way
How am I doin', with my problems
I'll pretend they're gone and it solves them
I got a hundred more and it's growin'
I got a name for each one coz I know them
And I'm havin' trouble with the things that you say
Coz they seem to be stupider than yesterday
And on the inside I scream and I shout, 'No'
Nobody cares what I'm thinking about
My soul is a prism
My soul is a prism
My soul is a prism
My soul is a prism
My soul is a prism
My soul is a prism
My soul is a prism
