The band is a quartet composed of Eric Martin (lead vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass guitar), and Pat Torpey (drums); Mr. Big also included Richie Kotzen, a reputable blues-based guitarist who replaced Gilbert in 1999. The band is noted especially for their musicianship, and scored a number of hits. Their songs were often marked by strong vocals and vocal harmonies. Their hits include "To Be with You" (a number one single in 15 countries in 1991) and "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind".
Mr. Big have remained active and popular for over two decades, despite internal conflicts and changing music trends. They broke up in 2002, but after requests from fans reunited in 2009; their first tour was in Japan, in June 2009. The band released What If..., their first album in 10 years, in January 2011.
The band takes its name from the song by Free, which was eventually covered by the band on their 1993 album, Bump Ahead.
"11:59" is the 117th episode of Star Trek: Voyager, the 23rd episode of the fifth season. As of November 13, 2009 the episode had an average rating of 61% on the official Star Trek website and 67% on the Internet Movie Database.
Neelix becomes interested in Earth history, spurring research about an ancestor of Captain Janeway named Shannon O'Donnell who was alive at the turn of the 21st century who she believed single-handidly fought to complete the Millenium Gate tower project at the turn of the 20th century, and would later be part of NASA's missions to Mars. Neelix, prompted by Janeway, proceeds to track down further information on Shannon.
Neelix discovers that Janeway's information was incorrect: Shannon was a traveler that happened to have her car break down in the small town where the Millennium gate was to be built. The intent has caused most of the business in town to leave, save for a bookstore owned by Henry Janeway, who refuses to sell the store to make way for the project. Shannon joins Henry in the opposition, and learns that if Henry refuses to sell, the project would have to be moved to a new location. The two also develop a bond during this time. As it turns out, Shannon had been hired by the company to try to convince Henry to leave before the 11:59 deadline on New Year's Eve. When Henry discovers this, he asks her to leave, but as she drives away, she turns around, and trying another approach to convincing Henry to sell. He eventually relents at the very last minute, selling his bookstore to allow the tower to go forward.

When she cried,
Felt like her last tear for nothing
It's her life a toss of the coin for everything
The girl began to see
That you don't need just any man
And her pride is a kiss goodbye
On graduation day
She always said
She'd be happier alone
She always said she won't be anybody's
Second hand rose
She's scared, but she dares
She is a rose alone
Daddy says, you can't pay the rent
On a fairy tale
It's her play she'd rather be free
Than be safe in jail
Make or break,
You do what you gotta do
'Cause you can
Taste the wine, it's bittersweet
But the bite still it gets you high
She always said
She'd be happier alone
She always said she won't be
Anybody's secondhand rose
She always said
She'd be happier alone
She's scared, but she dares
To be a rose alone
Don't you color me by the way you paint your picture
I'm happy just the way I am
It's been soaked into my bones, a child under pressure
I'm a bastard of the master plan
I wanna live my life
Don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place
But where do I fit in
Don't go sellin' me a dream you can't deliver
Like a dog in a cat suit, it's a poor disguise
Strange little angels a parade of saints and sinners
Greetings from the other side
I wanna live my life
I don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place
But where do I fit in
I was walking on glass from a thousand broken mirrors
Saw my reflection stare me down
I tried to run, I was going through the motions
I got my feet on solid ground
I wanna live my life
Don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
I wasn't the same as you baby
But take a walk in my shoes
I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place
(Billy Sheenan, Paul Gilbert)
["We were having dinner in Korea when Pat had the idea to add Paul's intro
to Billy's tune."]
Your secret is safe, I'll keep it on the inside
You're grubbin' your play, makin' up the white lie
I can't complain, she spurned me off of my pie
I should have known better, she came in from the wrong side of the tracks
I'll keep my mouth shut, nothing else I can do
At the rate that you're goin', baby pretty soon
Chorus:
The whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know - what you've done to me
The whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know - all about it baby
I used to be as foolish as the last guy
I've made up my mind, there'll never be a next time, no
Now that you're gone, before you break affection
Yeah, there's so many like me, you know they're getting wise to your deception
I'll keep my mouth shut, nothing else I can do
At the rate that you're goin', baby pretty soon
(chorus)
Nothing I can do, oh-oh, yeah yeah
(Solo)
I'll keep my mouth shut, nothing else I can do
At the rate that you're goin'
(chorus repeats 2x)
I was up and sown all night,
Thoughts stick to me like glue
Sometimes the sunrise doesn't look so good
When the sun sets down on you
Too much talkin' about it
Was it money or was it love
You put yourself up on a pedestal,
Now you can watch from up above
Look at the man in the mirror
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
Now you're Mr. Never In A Million Years
You're a D.I.Y. mister, it's been a good day in hell
Keep those cards and letters comin'
Lock them away up in a hole on the shelf
Look at the man in the mirror
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
Now you're Mr. Never In A Million Years
When it falls it falls quick
Only smile when you think you should
When you piss in the well
Don't complain about the water not tastin' so good
Look at the man in the mirror
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
You had it and it all disappeared
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
I dream in colors
And the people I used to be
Tomorrow never mattered
A trip on the scale of lunacy
I was a passenger
In a life I was only passing through
An angel with a dirty face
With a smile on a lie that could make it seem true
How would you ever know it - how the story goes
Painting footsteps on the road - you never know
I saw the world with diamonds in my eyes
And I'd take my heart and throw it in the sky
I believed that I'd be forever young
I could burn a hole in the sun
I'm turning the pages
Back when time was a friend of mine
How everything changes
Jump from the fun and you never think twice
How would you ever know it - how the story goes
Painting footsteps on the road - you never know
I saw the world with diamonds in my eyes
And I'd take my heart and throw it in the sky
I believed that I'd be forever young
Absence, a bad reputation
All locked up inside a sunglass head
Broken, I feel what you've been makin'
Wakin' up in time to go to bed
Up then down, lost not found
Tomorrow's yesterday
All the way, face to face
Let me in your hiding place
Justice, lives inside of laughter
Stand alone, a circle in a square
Keep it close, nothin' seems to matter
Everything is always I don't care
Let me in, shed your skin
Four walls a single space
Mouth to mouth, hand to face
Let me in your hiding place
Find yourself alone, you're so tiny in a big box
Get it in, get it out, breathe it in, breathe it out
Let me in, shed your skin
Four walls a single space
Mouth to mouth, hand to face
Shake the waist, you got love that taste and
Smell the rain, what a shmae to let her get away
Tie me down, to the race-car trakcs
Smack dab in the middle of Lover's Lane
Zip the lipstick on, like BBQ sauce
Painted lady, got to slip into soething that's confortable
Hey ... you can look, but you better not touch
Shut down the motors, pull back in the clutch
That strut is merciless
Oh, oh only one word to define it
Mericiless oh, oh I can't deny
That strut is mericless
Worth the weight in double trouble
Merciless oh, oh strut your stuff
What's your pick-up line, I bet you tell her she's fine
If that don't work, don't you back your suitcase up tonight
Don't give up, here comes the big suprise
It's more than enough to keep you satisfied
Crack the whip, baby twist your hips
I do as I see fit, love to lick your lips a little bit
You can run, but you better not hide
There goes the dream into the street lights
The last thing I remember
After that hard slap in the face
I was laying there thinkin'
You can know me out
I've been down for the 10 count before
Better give it up
Don't have to show me, I've had enough
I've seen the way you've been
Stealin' with those eyes
You're high-heeled trouble you're dangerous
with a criminal mind
How can you do what you do
What you've done to me
Take the pain or the pleasure
Turn it around on me
How can you do what you do
Is what I don't believe
Break down the walls
Live and learn from a hurrican
You can't come and go
Another hit on the hurt parade
You think I love it when you're
Tearin' me apart
Don't you see you're playin' games
With my heart
What went wrong
Who's to blame
Tell me now
"Big Love" as recorded by
Mr. Big
I swear by love you got it all And much more than one could ever hope for
Cause I would take a number just to wait in line
For a look and to gimme the high sign
Red lights Green lights Go for the gold
Something inside I want you now I want it all
And more than you know
CHORUS:
My mind is twisted and tied up in knots
My heart is achin' from a shot in the dark
I got a feeling what this is all about
I think it's time for the big love
I'm getting ready for the b
ig love
Every time I think about you I get a lump in my throat
>From the big beat in my heart I am helpless Hungry for attention
I know you could see me fall apart
CHORUS:
Ready Willing and able Give me the chance to show you
I want it all More than you know
When I was a young boy
My momma said to me
Once a woman gets your soul
You'll never shake her free
These are words of wisdom
Tt turns out she was right
Gotta find a lover-
'Cause I need a fix tonight
Once I thought her lovin'
Was a habit I could break
But when I go without it
My body starts to ache
Whoooooo
ooooo
Watch it touch me deep inside
Whoooooo
Somethin' snaps inside my mind
When I feel it comin' ain't no sense in runnin'
I'm addicted to that rush
Every time we touch
Never get enough
'Cause I'm addicted to that rush - Yeow!
Look around I stop and stare
Got to get a taste
Pretty women everywhere
We ain't got time to waste
Lookin' for a little thang
To fit into my plans
On the town I'll hurt you down
All right, all right, all right
She called up an old friend
Talk'n bout black Lebabese
A dirty room with a silver coke spoon
Give me my relief ... come on
Black Napolese
It got ya weak in your knees
They're gonna sieze some dust
That you got bust on
You know its hard to believe
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole ... ahwoo
30 days in the hole (that's what they gave me)
30 days in the hole
New castle brown
I'm tellin' ya - can sure smack you down
Ya take a greasy whore in a rolling dance floor
Got your head spinnin' round
You know you jailhouse bound
If ya live on the road
Well there's a new highway code
Ya take the urban noise
And some terrible poison
I'm waitin' for the someone, just beyond the pale
Where everybody's little thing is up for sale
An information bonfire, I'm twistin' while I wait and now I'm temptin' fate
24-7-365, Japan demonium is still alive
Praying like a sinner, crooked with the blues
Lost all there is to lose
Can't hear, can't see, can't touch, too much temptation
Too high to breathe, to believe in my own liberation
I'm fightin' suffocation, yeah, suffocation, yeah
Traffic of the mind, fast forward and rewind
Sometimes your clothes don't seem to fit
Frown becomes a smile, a man becomes a child
The fan is gonna hit the shit
Heaven on earth will cost you what it's worth
You'll find it anywhere you dare
When you spin the tale donkey, I wonder how you sleep
Jump up your fight for air, ohh, yeah
Can't hear, can't see, can't touch, too much temptation
Too high to breathe, to believe in my own liberation
I'm fightin' suffocation
I'm hangin' too much rope in shadows and the smoke
Turned blue up in the sky
I'm packin' all my stuff, too much is not enough
Who's got the most and then you die
Can't hear, can't see, can't feel my frustration
Too high to breath, to believe in transformation
Can't come, can't go, too slow, suffocation
Too high to breathe, to believe in my own liberation
There's too much population
Stop the world, I'm jumpin' off, I'm fightin' suffocation
Sunday morning, out of my mind
Feel like it's going to waste
25 years, 7 Impossible days
Monday morning, I'll never find
Someone with strength to betray
25 Years, 7 impossible days
People are walking, leaving behind
Someone who wants them to stay
Everyone's talking out of their minds
See that their gone
Afraid that their coming to stay
Friday morning, got through the grind
Find me a woman who lays
My head to bed in 7 impossible ways
People are walking, leaving behind
Someone who wants them to stay
Everyone's talking out of their minds
See that their gone
Afraid that their coming to stay
Sunday morning, out of my mind
Fee like it's going to waste
25 years, 7 impossible days
7 impossible days
7 impossible days
Silent voices close their minds and hide
Behind their secret gardens
Welcome to the age of rage
And everybody's high on something Run, see Jack run
With all the little piggies in a row
They come, They go
Does anyone five a damn
Who I am or where I'm going
I an your favorite some come undone
Lost in America
Suck your poison, throw your rhymes
And wait for something bad to happen
Stand behind your middle finger
Cool to kill is still in fashion
Run, see Jack run
With all the little piggies in a row
They come, they go
Does anyone give a damn
Who I am or where I 'm going
I am your favorite son come undone
Lost in America
Here in the wasteland
No one's as sane as everyone else
And there'll be hell to pay one fine day
You walked in like a goddess
I'm good like I don't notice
Wrapped up in all the trimmings
I stopped my tongue from spilling
My insides inside out
So how, how, how is it possible
To spy my private eye
How, how, how could it be so criminal
Inside your dirty mind
I hid my heart away with my little masquerade
How did I give myself away
I'm high on Cleopatra
Too high to climb the ladder up
A slave to circumstances
I watched you from a distance
I thought you'd never know how far I wanna go
To spy my private eye
How, how, how could it be so criminal
Inside your dirty mind
I hid my heart away with my little masquerade
How did I gibe myself away
Solo
I never felt so busted
My insides inside out
How do you see me now
You've been runnin'
But there's no one to run with
Hey, where you gonna run
You've been dyin'
But there's no one to stop it
Oh, what are you gonna do
Static up in your mind, interference
Static cloudin' your head
Static causin' confusion
All the way sown the wire
You've been fallin'
But there's no one to catch you
Oh, where you gonna land
You've been chasin'
Now you're all set to crash and burn
What are you gonna do
Static up in your mind, interference
Static cloudin' your head
Static causin' confusion
All the way down the wire
Static up in your mind, interference
Static cloudin' your head
Static causin' confusion
Superstar girl in a strange little world,
Exit on a hustle made for two
Rock n' roll colossal, makin' such a fuss oh
Candy on a million dollar bill
I want to know if you got a strange fascination
And some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation
For a cheap little thrill
Expressionistic space suit, exit on the parachute
The planet is a candle in a box
I'm swingin' from the grapevine, runnin' through the stop sign
Won't you show me yours, I'll show you mine
I want to know if you've got a strange fascination
And some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation
For a cheap little thrill
I want to know if you've got a strange fascination
And some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation
For a cheap little thrill
I know you've got a strange desperation
And some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation
For a cheap little thrill
A cheap little thrill, a cheap little thrill
I know you've got a strange fascination
Fear is a thief in the night
It leaves you hopeless
I believe in dreams, I believe in flying
I am what I am, what I am
And I'm sorry if I displease you
What am I fighting for, it's not my war
Till today I was in my way
Clouding up the lens of my own vision
I gave up on magic wands
For the right to get it wrong
And brave the world's collisions
I'll turn out my crystal ball
If I stumble I will crawl
Make my new religion, yeah
my new religion, yeah
I'd rather be banging my head
Even if it kills me
I believe in chance, I believe in crashing
Better be true to yourself
Than a perfect shadow
Of somebody else, an empty shell
Here today I'm gonna run my own way
Somehow I don't need your permission
I gave up on magic wands
For the right to get it wrong
And brave the world's collisions
I'll turn out my crystal ball
If I stumble I will crawl
Make my new religion, yeah
Comfort me
From a world where no one cares
Where the words turn into cages
And memories cut like glass
I closed my eyes on you
Put the blames on myself
The weight is on my shoulders
Throw my heart in the wishing well
I've got to face and tame my demons
I know it's hard to start over again,
yeah, I know.
Through trials and tribulations
Salvation's like a long lost friend
I'll take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change
If that's what it takes
No use in pretending
Ain't no pride in it all
A cure for independence
Is when you're standing in the cold
Have I used have I used my chances
Have my bridges all been burned
Give me a sign of inspiration
To find a stone that's left unturned
I see a distant promise of Eden
Lifting my spirits so high
If I can break out of the circle
Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye
I'll take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change
If that's what it takes
I've got to see a promise of Eden
Lifting my spirits so high
If I can break, break out of the circle
Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye
I'll take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change, baby
If that's what it takes
Take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change
If that's what it takes
GOIN' WHERE THE WIND BLOWS ( Mr. Big )
==========================
Someone said life is for the taking
here I am with my hand outwaiting for a ride
I've been living on my great expectation
what good is it when I'm stranded here
and world just passes by
where are the signs
to help me get out of this place
If I should stumble on my moment in time,
how will I know
if the story's written on my face,
does it show
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
or am I fool
going where the wind blows
where the wind blows
Here I sit halfway to somewhere
thinking 'bout what's in front of meand what I left behind
on my own, supposed to be so easy
is this what I've been after
or have I lost my mind
maybe this is my chanceand it's coming to take me awayyeah
If I should stumble on my moment in time, how will I know
if the story's written on my face, does it show
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
or am I foolgoing where the wind blows
where the wind blows
Here I am, walking naked through the world
taking up space, society's child
make room for me, make room for me, make room for me
Solo Gitarre
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of rain
or am I fool
going where the wind blows
where the wind blows
yeahyeah goin' where the wind blows
na nana na na nayeah
All alone in the twilight
I'm a shadow in the room
Time is my companion
But it turned its back too soon
Imagination will take me anywhere I want to go
But with my ballerina
Both of us lost in a-
Love light from an old Roman candle
Midnight won't be the same
When I close my eyes
We're dancin' right into the flame
The pciture is fading
Like a vision from my soul
Nothing left but a memory
In the silver afterglow
She may be gone, but not forgotten
Inside my heart, yeah-
But with my ballerina
Both of us lost in a-
Love light from an old Roman candle
Midnight won't be the same
When I close my eyes
We're dancin' right into the flame
My mind seems to wander away
And play me like a fool
I wish it could be like the way it was
'Cause life can be so cruel
But with my ballerina
I live in a dream of a-
Love light from an old Roman candle
Midnight won't be the same
When I close my eyes
We're dancin' right into the flame
Love light from an old Roman candle
Midnight won't be the same
When I close my eyes
They say it's not the money
You know it's not the money
Can you figure out what you want
What you need?
They try to pump it up, forget about the facts
Sometmes it hurts but it's never taken back
The left is right, the right is left
Oh yeah, I gotta get this thing right off my chest
Black, white and grey what can you do
What can you say?
How can they fool us today?
Hold your head up high, laugh till you cry
How can they fool us today
Talkin' twenty-four, secen. we're losin' what we're gettin'
They slap you down with a call from up above
It's a window to the world
A word to every man
Just gettin' it up, we'll all do what we can
They do it all for you, much better than the rest
Hey it's alright if you can pass the test
It's all good new, we can buy and sell
Yeh! Don't stop now you can unring a bell
Black, white and grey what can you do
What can you say?
How can they fool us today?
Hold your head up high, laugh till you cry
How can they fool us today
Catch the falling sky, we're all gonna die anyway
Hey, yeah yeah
You don't know what you've got
Till the love is almost gone
This time, yeah she's given up
Still in a state of shock
I should've seen it coming on
It's too late for waking up
Her mind's made up
I know the dream is over
But my heart just can't let go
She's too good to be forgotten
Too good to be true
Before my world is torn apart
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon
I was too blind to notice her
Wrapped up in myself
Workin' hard overtime, night and day
I thought we were so secure
Can' imagine someone else
Could come between us
And take her away
Her mind's made up
I know the dream is over
But my heart just can't let go
She's too good to be forgotten
Too good to be true
Before my world is torn apart
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon
And all the time she stood by me
I never said "I love you"
Yeah, I kept it deep down in my soul
And all the while I've been a fool
All right, huh!
I work hard every day
Come rain or shine
Don't need nobody
To tell about a girl of mine
She's got so much love
She saved it all for me
And I would not be lying
It's the way it's gotta be
So mister Big, uh
Better watch out, uh
And don't you hang around me now
That' all for you
I would dig-ya
A great big hole in the ground
All right....yeah, yeah
Now listen
I don't care who you are.
So don't explain
Better get on out of here
And don't you come back again
I don't want a thing from ya
Don't wanna give you nothing too
So get on out of here
Before I lose my cool
Don't you know I really need to?
(Eric Martin, Paul Gilbert, Tony Fanucchi, Pat Torpey)
["We love to watch Pat do this intro. It kind of looks like he's juggling
and uses the cowbell (our favorite drum)."]
She's sinkin' like a dashboard doll, cool, cruel and calculated
Beauty in the back seat, she runs hot, mean too cold
She's wicked with a mean streak, a timebomb tickin' away
Here comes trouble, right on the double, with a split personality
Heaven knows there's hell to pay
Never have I seen such an attitude, don't shoot, it's only me babe!
Chorus:
Watch what you might say and how you say it, she's so temperamental
Don't turn your back on a good little girl like that
She's oh so twisted (she's so) temperamental
Just a little bit temperamental
One minute she's an innocent child, sweet taste of her emotion
Anxious with a strange twist, man it's all worthwhile
Mad look, comin' on strong, ready to meet it halfway home
Heartbreaker, time to meet the maker, 'cause the mice have all gone
Heaven knows there's hell to pay
Never have I seen such an attitude, don't shoot, it's only me babe!
(chorus)
Just a little bit whacked
(Solo)
Heaven knows there's hell to pay
Never have I seen such an attitude, don't shoot!
Don't shoot, it's only me baby!
(chorus)
You better - (chorus)
Just a little bit temperamental
Just a little bit whacked
[Half a wasted life willing to sleep a bite]
Girls like this you just gotta treat right
They just cut you back down to size - ain't that right, kid
Hey, hey, yeah yeah, she's so temperamental... (to fade)
She took me down the road to ruin
She took me down back on the road to ruin
Good lord, I tried
To push her memory to the back o’ my mind „Mustang Sally“ from her head to her toe
My life was in shambles when she shot down that road
That was then, this is now
If I learned my lesson, I forgot it somehow
Headlights in the driveway,
A knock at the door,
I hear that voice, and I know what’s in store
Whoa oh whoa oh
I looked in those angel eyes
Whoa oh whoa oh
The devil was in disguise, yeah
Chorus:
She took me
Down the road to ruin
(Yeah baby) my head was spinnin’ ‘round
Don’t know what I’m doin’
Back on the road to ruin
Listen
Hip hips
Sexy legs
Ain’t no surprise I got on my knees and begged
Forked tongue, and pointed tail
If we make it this time, it’s a cold day in hell
Whoa oh whoa oh
She said she’d be sweet this time yeah
Whoa oh whoa oh
One kiss and it all seemed so right
Chorus
Whoa oh whoa oh
She said she’d be sweet this time
Whoa oh whoa oh
The devil was in disguise
Chorus
(Paul Gilbert, Eric Martin, Billy Sheehan)
Way back in the early days
1946
She walked in with the look o' love
That girl had bedroom eyes
Fire engine lipstick lips
All heads turned ooh with a human desire
It set the world on fire
My kinda woman
Someone's yesteryear dreams
That's my kinda woman
I could tear town the silver screen
A fallen woman femme fatale
Her body screamed heartbreak
Hotel... brains and beauty
Break down the walls, I fall
Down, to my knees,
When I see her picture in the
movie magazines
All heads turned ooh for the lady in red
Bring up the house light and say
My kinda woman
Bring back those yesteryear dreams
My kinda woman help me
Tear down the silver screen
Picture perfect
X marks the spot
There's just no way
To tell you how hot
My kinda woman
If I could go back in time
To the right place eye to eye
Magic to burn ooh with a human desire
She set the world on fire
My kinda woman
Someone's yesteryear dreams
My kinda woman
I could tear down the silver scrren
My kinda woman
Bring back those yesteryear dreams
And that's my kinda woman
(Eric Martin, Mark Spiro, Andre Pessis)
["Sing along. Strum along. Bump ahead."]
I've been miles from nowhere, crossed and doubled back
Time is a healer and I've done my time, 'cos I ain't seen love like that
I've seen the light of freedom, dim and fade to black
So many faces, but no one compares, no I ain't seen love like that
And I've got people tellin' me to let her go, don't let it turn you around
Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know, the one that you lost may be found
I believe in justice, I wonder where she's at
It feels like a lifetime and it just ain't fair
No I ain't seen love like that
And I've got people tellin' me to let her go, that girl is bringing you down
Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know, the love that you lost may be found
(Solo)
You know that people tell me to let her go, don't let it turn you around
Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know, the love that you lost may be found
I've been miles from nowhere, crossed and doubled back
Time is a healer and I've done my time, no I ain't seen love like that
No I ain't seen love like that - so many faces
Ain't seen love like that - and no one compares
I ain't seen love like that
Ain't seen love like that - ain't seen love
Ain't seen love like that - no, no I ain't
Lost and alone in this city of darkness
Empty of lovers and full of lies
You build a wall between your dreams and the madness
I reach out my hand but you run and hide
I’ve watched you cry in the rain
I wanna bring back the joy again
Chorus:
Open your heart tomine
I believe, I believe you won’t be sorry
This time - baby
Open your heart tonight
I believe, I believe you might
Be lucky this time
You might be lucky this time
No guarantees when you risk your emotion
So you surrender and it all went astray
Bitter and hopeless in your cold isolation
But you my love ever fade away
I wanna dry all your tears
You know there’s nothin’ to fear, baby
Chorus
And when the shadows start to fall
Let my love break down the walls
I’ve watched you cry in the rain
I wanna bring back the joy again
Misguided woman knows my name
Ain't go nobody else to blame
I gota a girl back home
She's waiting all alone
Ten weeks of rock and roll arcade
Seems like a year since I've been paid
I got to let it go, no one will ever know
I got a little to loose
In Oklahoma city
I didn't care if she was young
I didn't care if she was pretty
I got a little too loose
A little too loose
A little too loose, oh, oh, oh
Keep little secrets far too long
Guess taht i'll put them in a song
I got to let it go, on one will ever know
Baby, can i get you a taxi
She said, "that's ok, tonight I"m staying here"
All that little girl wanted yeah
There ought to be a law against it
To lead a man on and then let him go
What's the world comin' to
When you can't slide into home
Tell it like it is woman
Tell the boy maybe or nevermind
We could go all the way
The big boys don't like to waster time
Wind me up-
I need enuff to keep me satisified
Wind me up-
I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
Wind me up-
You kiss me quick and then
You turn me off
Wind me up
The only way she winds you up
Is when you ask for too much trouble
Ain't no room for a 2nd change
When the 1st one ain't even over
Pack with a powerful love
That I just can't get enough of
Lay your cards on the table
Baby Make no mistake about it
If you’re a red hot fire cracker
I will light your fuse
If you cry like a little girl
I’ll dry your baby blues
When you need a man of action
I’m ready to make my move
Like a shotgun shot, Johnny on the spot
There’s nothing I can’t do
Everything you’re looking for
You can find in me
I’ll be anything you want
Anyone you need
I’ll be your daddy, your brother, your lover and your little boy
When your body needs salvation
I’ll be your tender touch
I’ll take all the love you give me
And give you twice as much
When we get undercover
And do the horizontal mile
I’m in the mood to answer to your call of the wild
Everything you’re looking for
You can find in me
I’ll be anything you want
Anyone you need
I’ll be your daddy, your brother, your lover and your little boy
Everything your’re looking for
You can find in me
I’ll be anything you want
Anyone you need
Everything you’re looking for
Anything that you want and more
I’ll be your daddy, your brother, your lover and your little boy
(Paul Gilbert, Eric Martin, André Pessis, Billy Sheehan, Pat Torpey)
Black top blazin', hometown fadin'
Out of sight in the rear view mirror
Stevie ray blasting on the radio
As I slam it into higher gear
My baby's by my side, tears in her eyes
Writing a goodbye letter
Sayin' Johnny and me are runnin' wil and runnin' free
Just like you did momma
Don't know here we're goin'
But when we get there we'll know
We're gonna follow the code of the road
Jump into the fire
Keep our love alive and kickin'
Down the door, it's what we're livin' for
Rockin' side by side
Keep your love alive and kickin'
We got everything we own in the trunk and on the roof
And she's got baby sitting money in her pocket
We're drivin' fast, ain't no looking back
We're flyin' through the desert like a rocket
White line windin' up interstate five
The road goes on forever
And it doesn't matter where it's gonna take us
As long as we're together
We're takin' our chances
Gonna do it our way
Pedal to the metal shooting down the highway
Jump into the fire
Keep our love alive and kickin'
Down the door, it's what we're livin' for
Rockin' side by side
Keep your love alive and kickin'
Jump into the fire
Keep our love alive and kickin'
Down the walls, that's when
Freedom calls
Rockin' side by side
When the honeymoon's over
Where do we go from here
What do we do when we get there
Who's at the other end
Yeah, one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
Is that the way it is in real life
Time marches on
After the shock
We Rock and Roll over, over & then
Show your true colors
Put on a new face
Love is like a faucet
Turnin' off and on
Rock and Roll over
Will the real you stand up
Same time next year
Life is full of chances
Is this the Lady or the Tiger
There's never any answers
Ooh, one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
Is that the way it is in real life
Time marches
After the shock
Love and Hate is a fine, fine line
I could take what I want, but I take what I need.
How can I help myself if I need everything ?
I get possession with half of the truth.
Then change my direction when the bill comes due, yeah.
Then I turn around, the man is standing at the door.
It's the price ,the price, price, the price you gotta pay
It's comin' down today
At the time it seems so easy
Like any game you play
There's a price for saying maybe
The price you gotta pay
I got here with nothing
I'll leave with a lot
Come on and take a chance now baby,
Gimme what you got, yeah
A piece of the action
A slice of the pie
I hope you won't remember when it's time to testify
I turn around to look at you
You're lookin' back my way.
It's the price, the price, price, the price you gotta pay
It's coming down today
At the time it seems so easy
Like any game you play
There's a price for saying maybe
The price you gotta pay
Hit me !
Oh, yeah yeah
Now this is how it all adds up
Rent is due and so are you
I'm here to repossess your soul
Hey, baby, you're deep into the hole
It's the price the price you gotta pay
It's coming down today
It started out so easy like a little game
There's a price for saying maybe
I hear their voices inside my head
There's no denying it's my private hell as
I lie in bed
I take a look around and see myself
In twenty years will I be them
I've taken all I can stand
Afraid of what kind of man I am
Does everything stay the same
Or will I break the chain
Secrets, emotions, and wounds concealed
Spirits are broken, the deepest scars that I'll never heal
They'll be back handed down from father to son
A closet full of skeletons
I've taken all I can stand
Afraid of what kind of man I am
Does everything stay the same
Or will I break the chain
I will get by
With a little understanding
'Cause it's my own life after all
I've taken all I can stand
Afraid of what kind of man I am
Does everything stay the same
Words in my mouth
Someone told me to say
They go unspoken
My mind gets in the way
I hold my tongue
Save my, save my soul
True to myself
And stay gold
Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
It doesn't have to be this hard
for an ordinary man
I wanna take cover, take cover
From you, wake me when it's over
Take cover, I wanna take cover
From you
Sold all my dreams
Watched them all disappear
I've spilled my blood
No one seems to care
Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
How low do I have to go to make you
He runs around like it's a monkey do situation
Reach sown into his soul and get nothing at all
Ride the wave in a bubble made of plastic
In a water color world that's
Superfantastic
Everything is beautiful, nothing's too tragic
When it comes to happy people
Bedtime stories, morning glories
Blue skies and the perfect life for you and me
Look into the eyes of the man and see
The main attraction living off the fat of the land
And standing tall Mr. Feel Good craves satisfaction
Like an all day sucker
Superfantastic
Everything is beautiful, nothing's too tragic
When it comes to happy people
Bedtime stories, morning glories
Blue skies and the perfect life for you and me
White bread, black tie
I never really feel quite right
I don't know why, all I know is something's wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive
Tell me how do you do it, walk me through it
I'm following every footstep
Baby, on your own you take a cautious step
Do you wanna give it up?
But all I want is for you to shine
Shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out
I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right
And I act like I don't know why
I guess a reaction's all I was looking for, yeah
You looked through me, you really knew me
Like no one has ever looked before
Baby, on your own you take a cautious step
Do you wanna give it up?
But all I want is for you to shine
Shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out
I know, I know, girl you got something
Shine, shine it on to me
Shine down on me, I wanna feel it
Shine on this life that's burning out
Baby, on your own you take a cautious step
Do you wanna give it up?
But all I want is for you to shine
Shine down on me, just show me something
Shine on this life that's burning out
You give me something that I never know
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out
Shine, shine down on me
When she cried
It felt like her last tear for nothing
It's her life, a toss of the coin
For everything, yeah
Oh, the girl began to see
That you don't need just any man, oh no
And her pride is a kiss goodbye
On graduation day
She always said, she'd be happier alone
She always said, she won't be anybody's second hand rose
She's scared, she dares
She'd be a rose alone
Daddy says, you can't pay the rent
On a fairy tale
It's her play, she'd rather be free
Than be safe in jail
Oh, make it or break it
You do what you gotta do 'cause you can, oh yeah
Taste the wine, bittersweet
But the bite still gets you high
She always said, she'd be happier alone
She always said, she won't be anybody's second hand rose
She always said, she'd be happier, happier alone
She's scared, she dares, she'd be a rose alone
Somebody
Hey, hey, hey
Taste the wine, bittersweet
But the bite still gets you high
She always said, she'd be happier alone, yeah
She always said, she won't be anybody's secondhand rose, yeah
She always said, she'd be happier, happier alone
Ain't like any other day
Finally comes a time to decide
I won't spend another day
Stuck here in the same old bind
I can see myself as much too strong
To let this thing go on so long
It ain't a case of right or wrong
I'll put myself back up where I belong
Oh- Can't you see
I've had enough had enough
I've had enough
I don't forget too easily
You're the one who told me a lie
Now you know you're free to be
Anybody's lover but mine
I can see myself as much too young
It's not too late to stick to my guns
I'll take it right back to square one
When you turn around to look for me
I'll be gone
Why can't you see what you've done to me
I'm not too sure of it myself
The answer lies in a whole new beginning
Light me up 'cause the night is only halfway through
You know I love to make some trouble with you
Flick my switch now smack my lips let's go
Got a fuse that's abused and I'm ready to blow
I start to slip into anticipation
Twisted fascination yeah
Over my head 'cause you're outta your mind
You've got me electrified
Every little thing and all the time
You've got me electrified, oh shock me, oh baby
It might be wrong
Yeah it might be a big mistake
There's a charge in my heart
That I'm willing to take
Slow your motor down
Hey you know you've gotta rewind
I need the twenty minutes back
To the front of the line
I slip and fall into anticipation
Twisted fascination yeah
I'm not in over my head 'cause you're outta your mind
You've got me electrified
Every little thing and all the time
You've got me electrified
Shock me once you shock me twice
You've got me electrified, oh shock it
Over my head 'cause you're outta your mind
You've got me electrified
Every little thing all the time
You've got me electrified
Shock me once you shock me twice
You've got me electrified
You've got me baby, you've got me yeah
Here we go, here we go now
You've got me electrified
You've got me electrified
Yeah baby, shock me baby
She just woke up but she´s still tired
is that the telephone ringing
The curtains can´t hold back the lite
That´s reaching into her dreams down in her heart.
If it had fingers it´d be tearing you apart.
You be looking groovy in a sixties movie.
Maybe tell the press you died.Little legend baby try your very best to hide.
A green tinted sixties mind.
She keeps memories locked away
but they are always escaping.
Neglect won´t make them fade away.
That´s reaching into her dreams down in her heart.
Don´t need fingers to be tearing it apart.
Gotta face the day there´s no other wayto clear the fog inside your mind.
Fill it up with dreams but all that you can seem to find.
A green tinted sixties mind.
Hanging out with Janis moving to Atlantis
Could have made it if you tried.
What´s the point of force it´s easy as a horse to ride
A green tinted sixties mind.
I've been staring at this photograph
It used to make me laugh - I believed
That you would always live forever
Nothing's been the same since you've been gone
It's hard to carry on - all I see
Is misery and cloudy weather
Sometimes I think I see your face in the crowd
It's too late for saying I love you
It's too late for saying goodbye
The memories keep repeating, I'm losing my mind
I'd give anything just to hold you, it's so hard to let you go
All the way up, all the way up to heaven
Now I wake up with your voice in my head
All the things you said - keep on playing
Spinning like a broken record
And will this ever get easier
I can't go on like this anymore
I thought we'd alaways be together
It makes me wonder what it's all about
It's too late for saying I love you
It's too late for saying goodbye
The memories keep repeating, I'm losing my mind
I'd give anything just to hold you, it's so hard to let you go
All the way up, all the way up to heaven
And the times you made me smile
And the things you got me through
I never thought that they would take you
Away from me so soon
I've run out of tears to cry
And my heart is on the mend
But I think it's gonna be awhile
'Til I can feel again
Sometimes I think I see your face in the crowd
It's too late for saying I love you
It's too late for saying goodbye
The memories keep repeating, I'm losing my mind
I'd give anything just to hold you, it's so hard to let you go
Scars and bars and a no-tell motel
Black and white cars, pulling over backseat bombshells
A jack knife operation, crying out loud
Walking in a deadman's shoes then take the next train out
Step outside, get up off of your knees, American beauty
Step outta line, baby you got to say please, American beauty,
No place to run, get right back to where you started from
Standing in the shadows, it happened way too fast
Two desperadoes, fighting in the broken glass
Push comes to shove in a California minute
Blood on the tracks, you never look back, she ain't dead yet
Step outside, get up off of your knees, American beauty
Get outta line, baby you got to say please, American beauty,
No place to run, get right back to where you started from
Scars and bars and a no-tell motel, ooh
Black and white cars, pulling over backseat bombshells
A different education, dollar everyday
Give them all a happy ending, send them on their way
Step outside, get up off of your knees, American beauty
Get outta line, baby you got to say please, American beauty,
Get outta line, get up off of your knees, American beauty
Can I explain it?
It's not not an easy thing to do
A cryptic fascination
Seems to get me through
A darkened stranger
Who left me full of doubt
She'd tell me that she loved me
Then the lights went out
Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go
Jane Doe, she slipped away again
Does anybody know?
Jane Doe
Platonic whisper
That makes me want to shout
Then she always disappears
Like a lady from a Barcly House
Who is this woman
Someone that I invent
I follow all night long
Like a bloodhound on a secret
Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go
Jane Doe, she slopped away without
a trace
I still don't know
Jane Doe
There's no fault, no blame
Love can twist the brain
This picture lost its frame
And John has lost his Jane
Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go
Jane Doe, slippped away again
Does anybody know?
Jane Doe
There's no fault, no blame
Love can twist the brain
This picture lost its frame
Misguided woman knows my name
Ain’t got nobody else to blame
I got a girl back home
She’s waiting all alone
Ten weeks of rock and roll arcade
Seems like a year since I’ve been paid
I got to let it go, no one will ever know
Chorus:
I got a little too loose
In Oklahoma city
I didn’t care if she was young
Didn’t care if she was pretty
I got a little too loose
A little too loose
A little too loose, oh, oh, oh
Keep little secrets far too long
Guess that I’ll put them in a song
I got to let it go, no one will ever know
Chorus
Baby, can I get you a taxi
She said, „that’s ok, tonight I’m staying here“
All that little girl wanted yeah
Was a slippery souvenir
La...la...la...la...la
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby I'm grieving
And if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
A lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
(yeah...) oh baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl
You know I've seen a lot of
What the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Coz I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there's
A lot of bad and beware

What's it gonna be babe, shivers down my spine
Swim on to your island, is the treasure mine?
Send me out an answer, tell me something real
Chorus:
What's it gonna be baby, what's it gonna be
Why's it have to be so hard to win your sympathy
What's it gonna be baby, what's it gonna be
You're takin' your time makin' up your mind
But you've been makin' time with me, yeah
How's it gonna feel babe, your back's against the wall
Close your eyes and feel your body start to fall
Tell me a little answer, whoa
What's it gonna be baby, what's it gonna be
What's it gonna take to see the possibilities
What's it gonna be baby, what's it gonna be
You're takin' your time makin' up your mind
But you've been makin' time with me, yeah

I've got the full moon fever
A black cat cut across my path
Put a little spell on me mademoiselle
I want sombedy to love me back
I need somebody to love me bad
Dig deep in the mojo
Bad luck running through my veins
Cook up some bontemps medicine
To drive this curse away
To drive this curse away, yeah, yeah, yeah
A touch of sweet and nasty
A blind man couldn't miss
A creole sister man you can't resist her
When she's soft against your lips - Voodoo kiss
Kiss me on the lips
Can heaven be like this - Voodoo kiss
Down by the river at midnight
You hear the rattle and roll of those chicken bones
A white haired woman and a one eyes jack
Mix me up a batch of that love flambeaux
I want a batch of that love flambeaux
I gave her half my money
She wanted just a little more
If you pay the price then tonight's your night
You get what you pay for
You'll get what you pray for
Oh yeah I want a
A touch of sweet and nasty
A blind man couln't miss
A creole sister man you can't resister her
When she's soft against your lips - Voodoo kiss
Can heaven be like this - Voodoo kiss

20 long years ridin' somebody's coattalis
Watching the vermin go by thru a heavy coat
of chain mail
So ya wanna change the world but ya still
Can't decide
They can take away the cash but a fool's
got his pride
Everyone must kneel before the man
The leader of the band
Trapped in toyland
20 odd years since you heard "Revolution"
Feeding your fears with psychological pollution
Everybody in the wold tryin' to take you
For a ride
So you get behind the wheel just to realize
you're blind
Sycophants associates n' press men
Read the upper hand
Trapped in toyland
Well it seems like years since anybody
Knew your name
And you're drownin' in your tears but it's
all just the same
And it seems such a waste for a man with such pride
But it's obvious reality is eatin' at your insides
Sycophants associates n'press men
Read the upper hand
Everyone must kneel before the man
The leader of the band

A broken heart can't be that bad
when it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
CHORUS:
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you
CHORUS
Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwile
and I can make you start to smile

Equal opportunity knocked
Twice too late to stay on top of it all
All for one, one for all
Push me pull me way too far
One way or another someone's gonna take the fall
You'd better look at yourself
When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
You made you last point baby
It's all I can take
Take a walk-
Take a long and loney walk
You better think about it
Come back with a whole new start
Case - I wash my hands
Of you and your plans to take over
Take a walk
A lover's cirme and punishment
Is do this, do that, and put your eyes
Back in your head
Let's play house instead
You complain about everything
You're not happy 'til the chain's
Wrapped 'round my leg
It's about time for a change
When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
Too much is enough now baby
Hey man, are you ready to go
Down where you reach a higher low
Mmm, you can breathe the sweet & sacred air
For the woman waiting there
Underground
Wisdom is only a relative experience
Life is a dream
Not what it seems
For the obscene
Out of the underground
Feeling is only a relative experience
I don't believe it
What does it mean
For the obscene
Down where you reach a higher low
Wisdom is only a relative experience
Feeling is only a relative experience
Life is a dream
Not what it seems
For the obscene
Out of the underground
I don't believe it
What does it mean
Down where you reach a higher low
Guess what baby
The things we say
came true today
Coz we listened to our hearts
No one but you will ever do
Our search is through
But our journey's just beginning
Nothing but love can last forever
Nothing but love will start
To mend the place inside your heart
That needed healing
Nothing but love can last forever
Nothing but love will start
To make your head spin round and round
You know you're feeling love
Nothing but love
Nothing but love
Can't read your mind
Lord knows I'm tryin'
But in your eyes
I see everything I need to know
Nothing to do but follow through
My aim is true I could never ask for any more
And if you walk away
You know that I will follow
To steal back your broken heart
At least until tomorrow
Because whatever comes today
Beside you I can't hide you're the one
Nothing but love can last forever
Nothing but love will start
To mend the place inside your heart
That needed healing
Nothing but love can last forever
Nothing but love will start
To make your head spin round and round
You know you're feeling
Nothing but love could hold our world together
Nothing but love can start
To let us hear the sounds above
that have been screaming love
(Eric Martin, Jim Vallance)
I wanna know was it love or money
Come clean tell the truth about what you've done
Why did you give your love to another man ?
Girl, I believed you were the one
I shoulda known I'd be caught in the middle
No way out - No alibis
I've tried my best but I don't understand
What's so good about long goodbyes - Ya
Never say never
Cuz now we're together
We'll keep holdin' on 'til the end
One look in your eyes and I knew I'd decided
To never say never again - Never again
Gonna win one way or another
No holds barred - It's just a matter of time
Second time around I've got it covered
I'm ready if ya wanna give me one more try - Ya
Never say never
Cuz I still remember
How we thought that love never ends
Through good times and bad times
It's always a fine line
I'll never say never again
So far so good
You showed me how love is misunderstood
Whatever it takes
I've make some mistakes
But never again
Never say never
Cuz now we're together
We'll keep holdin' on till the end
One look in your eyes and I knew I'd decided
You feel a tap upon your shoulder
Turn around, there's no one there
Is your mind just getting older?
Are you whispering a prayer?
When you feel you're someone else,
In the cloud all by yourself
Love, choice, and destiny
Knocked on your door
You were gone
Sold your world to keep it free
Are you lonely tonight, Mister Gone?
Twist your heart up over nothing
Your will is working double time
Intuition has misled you
She's polite but so unkind
Where's your love
Where's your life?
Get your head out of the sand
Free your mind
Free your soul
An open heart will understand
Yeah...
Come on, everything is cool...
Hoo....hoo...
Oh...yeah we need love
Ah, yeah we gotta make a change
Alright
Lose your personality
When all of your rights turn to wrong
Blinded by the things you see
Are you lonely tonight Mister Gone?
Mama D.
Has a way of fixing the hole
Where the water runs out my soul
When you sing with me
Save me, Mama D.
Mama D. wears a dark brown coat in the sun
The light in her eyes burns so strong
And the melody
Heals me Mama D.
Set me free, Mama D.
She won't bring you down
If you're shit outta luck
She can't live it down
Might as well live it up
Mama D.
Has a way of seeing the truth
Through a lie or just an excuse
Or a tragedy
Show me, Mama D.
Whatcha see, Mama D.
She won't bring you down
If you're shit outta luck
She can't live it down
Met a man at the station
He stopped me from throwing myself on the tracks
He said son, "It ain't always a woman
that makes a man stab himself in the back"
Your wounds will heal,You gotta give it time
And all the hurt that you feel
Is just like mine
I've learned my lesson
Been down that road before
I've learned my lesson
And the message is you'll never fly
'Til you learn how to fall
It seemed to me there was a ring of truth
In what the old man said
jump back take a look at your life
You learn a lot about living when you're on the edge
Your wounds will heal,you gotta give it time
And though your troubles may be real
it's just a state of mind
I've learned my lesson
Been down that road before
I've learned my lesson
And the message is you'll never fly
'Til you learn how to fall
Your wounds will heal,you gotta give it time
And though your troubles may be real
It's just a state of mind
I've learned my lesson
Been down that road before
I've learned my lesson
And the message is you'll never fly
'Til you learn how to fall
I've learned my lesson
And the message is you'll never fly
'Til you learn how to fall
Do you know who I am
Did you follow the change
Am I part of your plan to stay the same
I'm not that man
I've worn out my shoes
On sacred ground
My point of view is not faced down
Like I see you
Viva la strange, take a bite of Eden's apple
Against the grain and away from the madness, madness
I don't wanna burn the life for my candle
Waiting around for a better day
I'll take a chance on fate's middle finger
And be someone I've never been
Don't wanna be another pretender
Not gonna smile, to save my own face
I wanna leave the thieves in the temple
Somewhere out of this place
I won't get in my way
I won't get in my way
I won't get in my way, this time
Blow away the stone
And slip through the cracks
Shake all the bones off my back
My heart is my own
Viva la strange, take a bite of Eden's apple
Beyond the frame and out of the pretty picture, picture
Don't wanna burn the life for my candle
Waiting around for a better day
I'll take a chance on fate's middle finger
And be someone I've never been
Don't wanna be another pretender
Not gonna smile, to save my face
I wanna leave the thieves in the temple
And go somewhere out of this place
I won't get in my way
I won't get in my way
I won't get in my way, this time
Don't wanna burn the life for my candle
Waiting around for a better day
I'll take a chance on fate's middle finger
And be someone I've never been
I don't wanna be another pretender
Not gonna smile, to save my own face
I wanna leave the thieves in the temple
And go somewhere out of this place
I won't get in my way
I won't get in my way
(Paul Gilbert, Billy Sheenan, Pat Torpey, Eric Martin, Tony Fanucchi)
["Some of us in the band hardly ever drink, but when we do..."]
Any time ago when I was tollin' on the rocks, add a little touch of attitude
Who's that Madam X coming in at three o'clock
Why don't you send her over one too
Next thing I remember, I was crawlin' round the room
She was dancing on the table, blood sure, barkin' at the moon
Chorus:
Colorado bulldog - this night has gone to my head
Colorado bulldog - throw a leash around my neck
Turn around and run like hell
Gimme a [grumpy grumbler]
Swingin' from the rafters, I'm losing all control
Playin' a little game of cat and mouse
Above the question, I've been lonely much too long
Last call, "The drinks are on the house"
Next thing I remember, through the pandemonium
It was feeling like a nightmare, the bite right into my skin
(chorus)
Come here boy!
(Solo)
My sweet Lolita, or prayin' Manita, left me in the number six motel
How was I to know, she'd strip me to the bone and steal away my heart as well
Next thing I remember, through the pandemonium
It was feeling like a nightmare, the bite right into my skin
(chorus)
Colorado bulldog - this night has gone to my head
Colorado bulldog - throw a leash around my neck
Bottom's up down the heck, it's time to start all over again
"Close your little eyes, Yankee!"
I live my life, one after the other
Can't seen to shake trouble
Follows me wherever I go
My mama told me I was always in a hurry
You'd better slow down or you'll lose control
I've loved and lost for the moment
It never lasted long enough
You come to me when something gets broken
But I won't let it get me down
Blame it on my youth
Put it to the circumstances
Blame it on my youth
I can't be judged for my actions
I'm an accident waiting to happen
Blame it on my youth
Someday I might stop being a child
But for now it looks as though
I'm having too much fun
You're as young as you feel
>From the inside
Inside and out you're always on the run
Angels with dirty faces
A little lost but not innocent
Time steals people and places
You have me burning up
With your bad timing
One small moment
I'm lost in your love
I'm lost and innocent
Turn my head around
Your one liners
I can do without
Easy come, easy go
I can't back down, baby
I should have let you know that
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
If I only had you by my side
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
So wave goodbye
Anything for you
One day comes
And I disappear
You'll get your independence
Free and clear
Ah, you got it in you
A chance to make it work
Your heart will keep on beating
And I'll still hurt
Easy come, easy go
Before we throw it away
Can't do here we're sayin', baby
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
If I only had you by my side
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
If you say goodbye
I'll be waiting for you
Easy come, easy go
Before we throw it away
I can't back down now, baby
I should have let you know that
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
If I only had you by my side
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
If you wave goodbye
I'll still be waiting for you
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
If I only had you by my side
Anything for you
So wave goodbye
Anything for you
I wanna know why do you stop,
When you half way there.
Are of you afraid
To dust all the ghosts of your back.
Now is the time free yourself
From the cross that you bear
Nowhere to run, tangles and chains
You made it, yeah you can think of
Walk to the edge when you want something more
Let yourself go
Don't hang on for saviours to soften the fall
Let yourself go
So you've been burnt, and you're not alone
Right from the ashes
cought in a trap the soul in your head,
If you face it, you'll escape it.
To a place, where there's life, life after love
Let yourself go
You can made it and I'll be waiting
Walk to the edge when you want something more
Let yourself go
Don't hang on for saviours to soften the fall
Let yourself go
No more running in circles and closing your eyes
Let yourself go
Step out of the shadows and into the light
It's late at night and neither one of us is sleeping
I can't imagine living my life after you're gone
Wondering why so many questions have no answers
I keep on searching for the reason why we went wrong
Where is our yesterday
You and I could use it right now
But if this is goodbye...
Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you, but you're too hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go
Here we are about to take the final step now
I just can't fool myself, I know there's no turning back
Face to face it's been an endless conversation
But when the love is gone you're left with nothing but talk
I'd give my everything
If only I could turn you around
But if this is goodbye...
Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you, but you're too hard to hold
Crawlin' is the place you have been,
When you're crawlin'
When you crawl...
Crawl over me.
Euphoria is her name, she's so good,
She is almost bad, she is almost mad.
Sweet misery is a game that conceals,
The benediction, a cruel conviction.
Have you ever been a child,
have you ever faked a smile,
When you crawl? (crawl over me)
You're back on your knees again,
Right where you've always been. (crawl over me)
Where's your pride?
You're on the ground.
Crawl over me.
Since the alchemy plays the cards that she deals,
She lets me see what I want to see
Have you ever been afraid,
Have you ever lied to get laid,
When you crawl?
Crawl over me,
You're back on your knees again,
Right where you've always been. (crawl over me)
Where's your pride?
You're on the ground.
Crawl over me.
Have you ever been alone, stare into the great unknown.
You want to suffer so you can't feel.
You can't buy so you have to steal.
Was I ever in your plans?
Will I ever understand?
Crawl over me, (crawl over me, crawl over me, crawl over me)
You're back on your knees again, (crawl over me)
Right where you've Always been. (crawl over me)
Wehre's your pride?
You're on the ground.
When it all comes tumbling down
We'll be telling lies and spitting out poison
The battle lines are drawn
Slow dancing with the devils on our own front lawn
So close to givin' up
Kiss it off and taking my chances
In a tug of war
You can't win when you don't know what
you're fighting for
A call for answers when love's in question
I hear a voice inside my head
Don't lose faith
Stand your ground
'Cause it's a long way down
Gone too far
To turn back now
It's a long way down
Too late when the damage is done
Running blind into the arms of strangers
We need a simple change of heart
Hold on before the whole thing falls apart
A call for answers when love's in question
I hear a voice inside my head
Don't lose faith
Stand your ground
'Cause it's a long way down
Gone too far
To turn back now
It's a long way down
A call for answers when love's in question
I hear a voice inside my head
Telling me that things are gonna get better
Don't lose faith
Stand your ground
'Cause it's a long way down
Gone too far
To turn back now
It's a long way down
Don't lose faith
Stand your ground
'Cause it's a long way down
Gone too far
To turn back now
You were coming down,
I saw the look, a beggar's frown
You hit the floor like a gun,
Words on your tongue would not make a sound
Too late to think about tomorrow,
All of mother's help has gone away
Crash through the world you let it slip,
Trying to explain it all away
But that deep dark secret just won't go away
Now after all these years still
there are people and places you fear
Echoes inside of a girl, who lost herself,
I wish you were here
The past shot like a bullet full of sorrow
Memories they don't ever seem to fade
Crash through the world you let it slip,
Trying to explain it all away
But that deep dark secret just won't go away
Time to think about a new tomorrow,
Silence gets you through another day
Crash through the world you let it slip
trying to explain it all away
But that deep dark secret just won't go away,
Oh no, that deep dark secret just won't go away
Oh no, that deep dark secret just won't go away
You're out the window
Your head is heading south
Under a constant cloud
That rains on your parade
Her wings have broken
Your fall from grace
No words are spoken
She invades your space
She comes in every color
To paint your sad face upside sown
You just can't help but love her
Cause everything's better
When Mary goes 'round
Her eyes are legend
An infectious mystery
A silent melody
That works into the skin
You can't imagine
You're forever changed
In Mary's innocence
It's a brand new day
She comes in every color
To paint your sad face upside down
You just can't help but love her
'Cause everything's better
I've been sucked in, how much do you think
That I'll get away with
Push and pull me, baby's out with the bath
I don't know who to stay with
There's nothing more that I can do,
Worms in a can just me and you
Can't turn away, burning bridges today,
It's a crime, it's a shame
Nobody left to blame,
Nobody left to blame,
Nobody
Eat my cake, I don't care what's at stake,
I'm swinging like Tarzan
I can't sleep, shadows run deep,
My right's caught in my left hand
There's nothing more that I can do,
Worms in a can just me and you
Can't turn away burning bridges today
It's a crime, it's a shame
Nobody left to blame
I've come undone stuck under the gun,
You know the truth is demanding
Bark at the moon, the end comes too soon,
There's only one man standing
I don't care, I don't know
There's nothing more that I can do
Call it a day just passing through
Shaken the sound, lost on the ground
It's a crime, it's a shame
Nobody left to blame
Nobody
Nobody
Once upon a time, the chemistry was cool
I had a little place, just a space standin' next to you
When you lost your mind, did you realize or wonder why
When you go insane, your to blame now I gotta fly
Underhanded, how you planned it was the perfect crime
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time
You never told me that you had a little dark spot on your heart
You threw me a bone, left me alone and then you ripped me apart
Now you're the one, come undone, the tables turned around
Where do you go, so low, I think your going under ground
Underhanded, how you planned it was the perfect crime
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time
Now it's time to take a stand * Take it back in my hands
I'm only doing what I can * Why should give a damn
Now it's going down, I dropped the other shoe
You know it's been said, your thick head, it all comes back to you
It seems you're the one come undone, the world has turned around
Original sin is doing you in and now I
Understand it, how you planned it was the perfect crime
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time
That was once upon a time * Once upon a time
Back on the road
New pair of shoes
Almost took a wrong turn thinking 'bout you
Ishook my head left
I shook my head right
Had about enough of thinking 'bout you tonight
I need some new illusion
Give me a picture of a brighter day
It's all I need to see a new solution
Just a break to take me away
I wanna feel rich when I'm broke
Feel young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
But you know I get the feeling
Up when I'm down
Even strong with no power
See the sunshine at night
'Cause you know I get the feeling night
Back in the street
Where I should be
The good times and the bad times are waiting there for me
I try to make a move
But nothing seems to give
I can't climb the wall to where the other half live
I need some new illusion
Give me a picture of a brighter day
It's all I need to see a new solution
Just a break to take me away
I wanna feel rich when I'm broke
Feel young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
But you know I get the feeling
Up when I'm down
Even strong with no power
See the sunshine at night
'Cause you know I get the feeling right
A thousand years ago
Or two years from now
I'll guarantee that someone's gonna try to get you down
Everything you've got
Is all they wanna take
But you can sing a song, They can never steal away
I need some new illusion
Give me a picture of a brighter day
It's all I need to see a new solution
Just a break to take me away
I wanna feel rich when I'm broke
Feel young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
But you know I get the feeling
Up when I'm down
Even strong with no power
See the sunshine at night
'Cause you know I get the feeling
Rich when I'm broke
Young when I'm old
I may never hit gold
I am the morning, you are the light
You make the morning such a beautiful thing
I am the green grass, you are the rain
Fall on me, make me grow
No-one will ever know
Fall on me make me grow again
I am the spirit, you are the light
You make the sun shine brighter, you make me smile
I am the water, you are the rose
Oh lady of the land
Come to me take my hand
Until tomorrow I'm your man
Step back inside me Romeo she said
Step back inside me take me to your bed
Step back inside me Romeo
My Juliet and take me home
I am the darkness, you are the night
You make the darkness such a beautiful thing
I am the mountain, you are the snow
Fall on me make me grow
No-one will ever know
Fall on me make me grow again
Step back inside me Romeo she said
Step back inside me take me to your bed
Step back inside me Romeo
My Juliet and take me
Step back inside me Romeo she said
Step back inside me take me to your bed
Step back inside me Romeo
My Juliet and take me
Step back inside me Romeo she said
Step back inside me take me to your bed
Step back inside me Romeo
You can say what's on your mind
Let it all play out
There's no reason you should be so down, oh yeah
Throw away a dice
Look and where you are
And leave it all behind
Through your heart, through your soul
Through what you're looking for
Tell me what you feel
What's going on
You don't have to be strong
Even a teacher can be wrong
And they had been wrong
You can learn and now won't fall
You don't have to be strong
You've been fighting for too long
And now the thrill is gone
And the truth is why you're holding on, oh yeah
Throw away your pride
Try to realise that you got to get over
All the lies that you use
Your smile was sure disguise
Tell me what you feel
What's going on
You don't have to be strong
Even a preacher can be wrong
And they had been wrong
You can lean and now won't fall
You don't have to be strong
-solo guitar-
Tell me what you feel
What's going on
You don't have to be strong
Even a teacher can be wrong
And they had been wrong
Tell me what you feel
What's going on
You don't have to be strong
You don't have to be strong
Through your heart, through your soul
UNNATURAL (Paul Gilbert)
Unnatural
Contractual
Piece of my heart
I signed away
For Magic beans
Grow into dreams
Open your eyes
They drift away
Unnaturally
This comes to me
Can't seem to find
Someone to be
It's laughable
Halfway or full
I give myself away
Aretha knows
Which way to go
Opens her heart
Blows me away
Led by a king
Told her to sing
So naturally
Her lucky day
Unnaturally
This comes to me
Can't seem to find
Someone to be
It's laughable
Halfway or full
I give myself away
Dumb luck
Gave her everything
She has
Dumb luck
Breeds jealousy
I'm stuck
In a body
With some hands convinced
I couldn't be
Couldn't be
Unnatural
Unnatural They drift away
Unnatural Blows me away
So it's goodnight
Why don't you take a leap of faith and ask me in
And be temped by the moment
Don't you think it's time
To let imagination dance you from your doubts
So we can fall with abandon
I'll shelter you
In wonder love
Till the midnight skies
Turn blue
But I won't push
I'll leave it up to you
Close your eyes
Can you feel me whisper Closer against your skin
On a bed of velvet roses
With every little touch
My hands could tracer a path Around your heart
Deep and into your secrets
I'll shelter you
In wonder love
Till the midnight skies
Turn blue
But I won't push
I'll leave it up to you
It's only love that is
Crying out
It's in your hands
Tell me baby how do I prove To you somehow
That you should know by now just who I am
Baby, don't be afraid we're Just one more kiss away
Don't waste a perfect moon
But I won't push
I'll leave it up to you
I'll be true to you, Baby
But, I won't push
I'll leave it up to you
leave it up to you, Ohh, yes I will, Uhhh ...
It's All in your Hands,
Tears, from saying goodbye.
Tears, I'm sorry but I have made up my mind.
I'm leaving to find a new life, a new love.
All I can tell you is never.
All I can give you are tears...
Tears, fall down from my eyes.
Tears, a man never cries.
He should hold them back.
Hide them so no one could see the real me...
All I can tell you is never.
All I can give you are tears.
When did the love run out,
I might be going out of my head.
But instead...
I've made up my mind,
I'm leaving to find a new life, a new love...
All I can tell you is never.
All I can give you are tears...
All I can give you are tears...
Fall down from my eyes, tears...
Did you ever write my name with a fountain pen
In your books or on your desk
or did you tell your friends
That I was someone special
Did you ever lie awake the entire night
Glowing in the dark with no sheets or light
Thinking that I was someone special
You got me running
running late at night
trying to find you
And I started thinking
thinking all the time
But what could I do
I had something for you
Was there something for me
I had something to give you
But it's a mystery
Did you change your clothes did you hesitate
walking back and forth, always being late
Cause I was someone special
Did you ever take a shower did you wash your face
making up the bed thinking just incase
That I was someone special
You got me running
running late at night
trying to find you
And I started thinking
thinking all the time
But what could I do
I had something for you
Was there something for me
I had something to give you
But it's a mystery
You got me running
running late at night
trying to find you
And I started thinking
thinking all the time
But what could I do
I had something for you
Was there something for me
I had something to give you
But it's a mystery
I had something for you
Was there something for me
I had something to give you
But it's a mystery
I been tired, crucified, yeah!
And I keep on believin' it's all right in my mind
I have tried, but I can't go back to kneeling, not this time
We've been dying for too long
You can fight but you're never wrong
How does it feel when the hurt is on
And the blame is worn on you
How does it feel when your pride is torn,
Your best years are gone and used
How does it feel
I was holdin' on, now I'm leavin'
And there ain't no chance I'm goin' back
Seven years of believing it could change
We keep on holdin' on
You can fight but you're never wrong
How does it feel when the hurt is on
And the blame is worn on you
How does it feel when your pride is torn,
Your best years are gone and used
How does it feel
I don't know where I belong
We still fight but you're never wrong oh
We've been dying for too long,
How does it feel
How does it feel when the hurt is on
And the blame is worn on you
How does it feel when your pride is torn,
Your best years are gone and used
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
I've given up on give and take
Why feed the hand that slaps your face
You can't win for losin' your mind, yeah
No way to scratch a seven year itch
I've read your mind, baby, read my lips
I'm only human, of flesh and bone
What's the point of draggin' on
I'm trying to do without it
I gave you my heart for a stab in the back
I spent all my time on the table, getting sawed in half
I'm better off than hanging by a thread
Don't need a queen in my king size bed to tell me how
And when to make it, ohh, yeah
What good is love that disappears, yeah
Comes back crying crocodile tears
It's the same old spot, the same old situation
It's a dirty job, crawling from the wreckage
Baby, trying to do without it
I gave you my heart for a stab in the back
I spent all my time on the table
Getting sawed in half, yeah
Trying to do without it
I was digging a hole, now I'm filling it up
I try so hard, trying to do without your love
Your love
I'll say goodbye and wonder why
I'm still tempted, ohh, yeah
All that's left is the white flag
I've been waving, I've been waving
I'll say goodbye and wonder why
I'm still tempted, ohh, yeah
All that's left is the white flag
I've been waving, I've been waving
It's the same old spot, same old situation, yeah
A dirty job, crawling from the wreckage, baby
Trying to do without it
Gave you my heart for a stab in the back
Spent all my time on the table
Getting sawed in half, yeah
Trying to do without it
I was digging a hole, now I'm filling it up
I try so hard, trying to do without your love
Your love, your love, ohh
Keep trying to do without it
Trying to show a love, babe
Trying to do without it, your love
I try so hard, trying to do without your love
I try so hard, trying to do without your love, yeah
I married my high school drama queen
She pulled the curtains over me
Then it was I now pronounce you a one act fool
I've been sitting here wishing for my pot of gold, ship to come on in
But the motherlode is just another load of shit that I've been sinking in
Say goodbye to greener pastures, living happy ever after
Oh, yeah, Ohh, yeah
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
Yeah, I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
Yeah, that's why I'm with you
Now it's Oprah and Sally and how the world turns
And the big time money that I'll never earn
When only the sun goes down, the party's over
If misery loves company
Then, baby you and I were meant to be
Tomorrow's turning out to be a beautiful day, yeah
Say goodbye to greener pastures, living happy ever after
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
Yeah, that's why I'm with you
We settle for poor connection
Got it down to imperfection
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
Yeah, that's why I'm with you
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
Yeah, that's why I'm with you
Just a little mistake, oh no
Now I gotta pay, oh no
'Cause the rumors have been going 'round
From a little mistake
I can't look them in the eyes no more
And I'm haunted by the memory
Thinking "what for?"
I don't know, I don't know
I did my best friend wrong
It didn't last too long
'Cause the woman who was coming 'round
Was a little mistake
Better days were coming
Now I'm banished and blamed
Take my chances in another town
Just a little mistake
But the highway only runs so far
God is not about to leave me
No matter how far
I might go, I might go
Now a year's gone by
'Cause I ain't gonna die
'Cause nobody ever comes around
From a little mistake
(Yeah just a little mistake)
I can't look them in the eyes no more
And I'm haunted by the memory
Thinking "what for?"
I don't know, I don't know
Just a little mistake
From a little mistake
I can make a couple a calls
Let's see whatever way it falls
True it's seems a little bit late
Got a dream and it just can't wait
A million places
We're wanting to be
Where everybody's standing
And they're startin' to scream
'Round the world we go
Get laugh from the people that you know
'Round the world we go
Stick around 'til the evening starts 'til glow
'Round the world we go
Now it's time to let your head explode
I can see it comin' down
I know that you can feel the sound
You and I were made to move
Just put the diamond into the groove
A million faces we're hoping to see
Where everybody's standin' staring back at me
'Round the world we go
Get laugh from the people that you know
'Round the world we go
Stick around 'til the evening starts 'til glow
'Round the world we go
Now it's time to let your head explode
Everybody needs a little gettin' away
Shout it all together we've got somethin' to say
Gather up anyone that you can find
Forget the masqueraders leave 'em all behind
'Round the world we go
Get laugh from the people that you know
'Round the world we go
Stick around 'til the evening starts 'til glow
'Round the world we go
Get laugh from the people that you know
'Round the world we go
I know what love is
I've seen that word before
L.O.V.Evil keeps on knockin' on my door
I've seen trouble walkin'
Dressed up in those suicide curves
I try to kick bad habit
And have the habit kick my ass to the curve
You can't run from nothing
It gets you where you live
All washed up
But you can't stop love from coming in
Like water over the bridge
I've seen some strange shoes
Underneath my heart shaped bed
I've seen the green monster
Wearing this ugly hat, really pretty
You can't run from nothing
It gets you where you live
All washed up
But you can't stop love from coming in
Like water over the bridge
It's coming to get you, baby
Let the dogs lose, girl
I have drown in the deepest
I've been down to my very last breath
All washed up
But you can't stop love from coming in
Like water over the bridge
Coming to get you, babe
It's like water
Over the bridge
It's like water
Hey Zambia where you hide?
I could find you if i tried
Here i go, Here i come.
Playing this game so much fun
Playing ghosts in the dark
Country houses far apart
See your grandad smoking pipe,
Hear the birds cry in the night.
See my Emily, calling out to me,
Waving to me from the past.
Merrily we play, Merrilly we play
Vague recollections that last.
Oooh Zambia
Making castles in the sand
See the big ship far from land.
Watch them go, watch them come.
Eating ice cream in the sun.
Hey girl what you do tonight?
Ask your mummy if alright
That your coming out with me,
We'll make love behind the tree.
See my Emily, calling out to me,
Waving to me from the past.
Merrily we play, Merrilly we play
Fly into the rising sun,
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
Talk about her like a Queen
Dancing in a Eastern Dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
But I'm at home and I just don't belong
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in Her City of light
Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
We had the love slipped through our hands
We had our hearts break from the misunderstanding
It's all over now
But we're still standing
Now I'm alone in this empty room
I've chased a shadow thinking you
And what matters is at you
And I surrendered
Gave it all we had to give
Loved and lost, we can love again
We build it up and tear it down, we'll do it right
The next time around
We had a choice, two is to choose
Heads you win, tails you lose
Take the high road, think it over
Or take it solo
Gave it all we had to give
Loved and lost we can love again
We build it up and tear it down, we'll do it right
The next time around
I remember when it all came down
We had the love slipped through our hands
we had our hearts break from the misunderstanding
It's all over now
But we're still standing
Gave it all we had to give
Loved and lost we can love again
We build it up and tear it down, we'll do it right
The next time around
Oh we Gave it all we had to give
Loved and lost we can love again
Build it up and tear it down, we'll do it right
The next time around
Yeah, we can love again
We'll do it right
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland
Sally, take my hand
We'll travel south cross land
Put out the fire and don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together before we get much older
Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland, oh yeah
Teenage wasteland
On the stage I'm in a rage
But you I never fool
Well I can rock with anyone
But never alone with you
Somethin' starts a barkin'
Now deep inside of me
I need a classy woman
To knock me off my feet
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Oh, you make me nervous
More than I had planned
Would you wanna know me
If I wasn't in the band
Crazy feelings
Deep inside of me
I need a wild woman
To knock me off my feet
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Gotta keep things moving
Till my personality starts improving
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Gotta keep things moving
Till my personality starts improving
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
It's shame
That our paths should have crossed so young
Who's to blame
For the tears and the damage done
All I know
Is I can't forget the time we had
And I'm sorry if it turned out bad
Even though I want you
Even though I need you
Even though my heart is screaming
Still believing
We could fall in love
Even though I want to
Even though I need to
Even though we won't find better
We can't stay together
Tell me why
There were secrets you never told oh, no
It's a crime
The cliche of a love gone old
All I know
Is I've given all I can to you
And there's nothing more that I can do
Even though I want you
Even though I need you
Even though my heart is screaming
Still believing
We could fall in love
Even though I want to
Even though I need to
Even though we won't find better
We can't stay together
It's all right
Happiness only comes to few
But in time you may find it in someone new
Solo
Even though I want you
Even though I need you
Even though my heart is screaming
Still believing
We could fall in love
Even though I want to
Even though I need to
Even though we won't find better
We can't stay together
Stay together
Stay together
And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down, you can take it.
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry, you can make it.
Hold your head up, hold your head up
Hold your head up, hold your head high.
And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes on you moving.
And if they shout
Don't let them change a thing what you're doing.
Hold your head up, hold your head up
I LOVE YOU JAPAN (Song For Makita & Japanese Fans)
(Paul Gilbert)
I know I've seen your face before
It wasn't just a dream
I know you think your hearts secure
But I can make it scream
Oh oh do it again
Oh oh we're comin' in
Ohhhhh I love you Japan!
I'm talking from experience
I've been all 'round the world
I wouldn't even trade you for
The California girls
Oh oh do it again
Oh oh we're comin' in
Ohhhhh I love you Japan!
Domo arigato, chotto matte kudasai
There's sushi on my table
And wasabi in my eye
You could look forever
But you won't find me until
You listen for the scream
Of the big Makita drill, year!
I know I've seen your face before
It wasn't just a dream
We always will come back for more
'Cause you can make us scream
Oh oh do it again
Oh oh we're comin' in
Ohhhhh I love you Japan!
Ohhhhh I love you Japan!
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
When some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
And with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Face of an angel, soul of saint
So much of the things, I know that I ain't
I should be glad, you might suppose
For some stupid reason that nobody knows
All that she's got, it sure is a lot
But it still ain't enough for me
There must be a reason, I'm not satisfied
So hard to please, oh I realize
She up and left me with nothing to say
Somehow I knew it would end up this way
All that she's got, it sure is a lot
But it still ain't enough for me
Face of an angel, soul of saint
So much of the things, I know that I ain't
I should be glad, you might suppose
For some stupid reason that nobody knows
All that she's got, it sure is a lot
But it still ain't enough for me
All that she's got, it sure is a lot
But it still ain't enough for me
Born as a Leo but soft as a lamb
One-quarter Creole with the back of her hand
Washes her hair in the Kryptonite rain
A little invitation could shake up a saint
Lost in space makes you never wanna come back down
But you'll remember where you wanna be now
I go to sleep with one eye open
Hoppin' it's tonight she crosses that line
Think you died this side of heaven
But hell ain't far behind
Shed my skin, thrill me to the bliss
The fun begins, kill me with a kiss
Batten down the hatches Medusa's on the loose
Show me the trap, put my neck in the noose
A delicate flower with a crack in the vase
I lose myself in Jazebel a smile on my face
Take a leap of faith don't be afraid to try it
And you'll feel better said the spider to the fly
I go to sleep with one eye open
Hoppin' it's tonight she crosses that line
Think you died this side of heaven
But hell ain't far behind
Shed my skin, thrill me to the bliss
The fun begins, kill me with a
She's a real live pedestal beauty
And my unpredictable cross to bear
Death defying savoir faire
I go to sleep with one eye open
Hoppin' it's tonight she crosses that line
Think you died this side of heaven
But hell ain't far behind
Shed my skin, thrill me to the bliss
The fun begins, kill me with a kiss
Shootin' from the hip, cut me to the quick
Bite my lip, kill me with a kiss
Kill me with a
I got my freak on like it's triple X rated
A dose of mojo like it's something contagious
A velvet hammer poison with a twist
Lying on my back, staring on the cracks at the ceiling.
Keeping to myself, no one, no one else got this feeling.
Everything you said, secrets in your head.
Don't know why I'm unforgiven.
Why I'm unforgiven.
Trying to make it through the day.
I'm unforgiven. Why I'm unforgiven.
Ever since you went away.
Feeling on the ground, left them to the sound of the darkness.
Bring it in my ears, remember all the years, that you parted.
Everything you said, demons on your head.
Don't know why I'm unforgiven.
Why I'm unforgiven.
Trying to make it through the day.
I'm unforgiven. I'm unforgiven.
Ever since you went away.
Take back the humble words, my confession (?).
Come around and find my way, I think I finally learned my lesson.
Forgive me father, for I have sinned.
It's been 15 years since my last confession.
I accuse myself of the following sins.
Lying on my back, staring on the cracks at the ceiling.
Keeping to myself, no one, no one else got this feeling.
Everything you said, secrets in your head.
Don't know why I'm unforgiven.
Why I'm unforgiven.
Trying to make it through the day.
I'm unforgiven. I'm unforgiven.
Ever since you went away.
I'm unforgiven.
The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"
I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.
You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.
The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
I watch the way your mouth is moving
Like a detective at the crime
I study your expression
And the read between your lines
You know I've got a deep suspicion
That you're out there playing games
But I never see the faces
I don't know the names
As far as I can see
You belong to me
It's heaven when you smile
I can see the devil in your eyes
It's better for my heart
To keep me in the dark
Are you telling lies or
Someone to believe
As far as I can see
I get the feeling that you're looking
For another soul to steal
You can feel the hunger
And you're looking right at me
You know I've got a deep suspicion
That you're out there playing games
But I never see the faces
I don't know the names
As far as I can see
You belong to me
It's heaven when you smile
I can see the devil in your eyes
It's better for my heart
To keep me in the dark
Are you telling lies or
Someone to believe
As far as I can see
I don't know what it is that keeps me hanging on
I know there'll come a day when I'll look and
You'll be gone
You'll be gone
As far as I can see
You belong to me
It's heaven when you smile
I can see the devil in your eyes
It's better for my heart
To keep me in the dark
Are you telling lies or
Someone to believe
I was a soldier with no regrets
Walking on a fence
Falling back on my feet again
There was a vision decisions made
To mold me out of clay
Taking away my wings
The man I'm supposed to be
Now is the enemy
I wonder who I am
Will I be someone to remember
After the glory ends
Hiding in my disguise
I'm a stranger, a stranger in my life
I'm perfect but broken
The mirror tells it all
Looking into my window soul
Off in the distance, a different me
No one else can see
Someone I used to Know
I made all the right mistakes
Now I'm a ghost in the big parade
I wonder where I've been
Where is the dreamer I remember
Losing a long lost friend
Hiding in my disguise
I'm a stranger in my life
I woke up, all choked up out of my head
My heart is wide open re-writing how this story ends
I wonder who I am
Will I be someone to remember
After the glory ends
Hiding in my disguise
I'm a stranger, a stranger in my life
I got what I wanted
It wasn't what I wanted
I got what I needed
It wasn't what I needed
Just found out
Love makes you strong
Love makes you heavy
Like a stranger in the night
Like a Tyson fight
Love makes you strong
Love makes you funky
Like you don't know where you are
Like a limousine car
I got what was comin'
I should've been runnin'
F-F-Fifty per cent
Just to pay her rent
Just found out
Love steers you wrong
Love costs you plenty
Save your nickels and dimes
These are desperate times
Love steers you wrong
Love spoils the party
I got something in my eye
Feel like I wanna die
I want my honey
I want my money
If I'm an angel this time
She'll be treatin' me fine
Just found out
Love makes you strong
But it makes you pay for it
Love steers you wrong
She said she couldn't do it if she tried
But she never tried, she'll never try
It's running through her veins like cyanide
It gets her by, but just for a while
How long can she keep on
Chasing something wrong?
Memories of how
She could've made it
The waves are crashing down
She's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea, yeah
She's looking for a light
But there's nowhere to go, undertow
She sees the world through hazy blood-shod eyes
Just looking for another high
She lives by golden rules that don't apply
Life passed her by, and I tell you why
How long can she keep on
Chasing something wrong?
Memories of how
She could've made it
The waves are crashing down
She's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea, oh, oh
She's looking for a light
But there's nowhere to go, undertow
How long can she keep on
Chasing something wrong?
Memories of how
She could've made it
The waves are crashing down
She's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea, yeah, yeah
She's looking for a light
But there's nowhere to go
The waves are crashing down
She's caught in the undertow
Drowning in the sea, oh yeah
She's looking for a light
I can see the look in your eyes
I can see it took you by surprise
each day I search to find the answers why
each night I say a prayer for you
Strike like lightning the thunder in my eyes
out of the darkness the winner will survive
strike like lightning the fire in your eyes
straight to the heart now lighning tracks the sky
You can see it in everything I do
we're turning back to our win of lose
every day I push the limit once again
every night I make it all come true then I
Strike like lightning the thunder in my eyes
out of the darkness the winner will survive
strike like lightning the fire in your eyes
straight to the heart now lightning tracks the sky
Each day I search to find the answers why
each night I say a prayer for you a prayer for you
Strike like lightning the thunder in my eyes
out of the darkness the winner will survive
strike like lightning the fire in your eyes
straight to the heart now lightning tracks the sky
Strike like lightning the thunder in my eyes
out of the darkness the winner will survive
strike like lightning the fire in your eyes
I've been burin' the blues
With a capital B
Surfin' in hell
For a brand new me
Got a bone to pick
With my skeleton crew
Cashin' in
My IOUs
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom
I'm dancin' wit my devils
Blind, side by side
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I
I've been workin' the street
In the same old suit
And there's a hole in my soul
That's showin' right through
No more walkin' the walk
Or talkin' that fast talk
'Cause I'm out of my skin
And takin' my clothes off
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom
I'm dancin' with my devils
Blind, side by side
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I
I'm dancin' with my devils
Doin' the Spanish Fly
I'm dancin' with my devils
Hotter than July
I want to do what I wanna do
I have to be who I want to be
Hey, you just gotta get over it
It's good be the king
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom
When all is said and done
On the stage I'm in a rage
But you I never fool
Well I can rock with anyone
But never alone with you
Somethin' starts a barkin'
Now deep inside of me
I need a classy woman
To knock me off my feet
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Oh, you make me nervous
More than I had planned
Would you wanna know me
If I wasn't in the band
Crazy feelings
Deep inside of me
I need a wild woman
To knock me off my feet
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Gotta keep things moving
Till my personality starts improving
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Gotta keep things moving
Till my personality starts improving
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Wild World
Mr Big
Now that I've lost everything to you,
You say you want to start something new,
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving,
Baby I'm grieving.
But if you wanna leave take good care,
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear,
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there.
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
It's hard to get by just upon a smile.
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
I'll always remember you like a child, girl.
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do,
And it's breaking my heart in two,
Because I never want to see you sad girl,
Don't be a bad girl,
But if you want to leave take good care,
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there,
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware, beware,
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
It's hard to get by just upon a smile.
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
And I'll always remember you like a child, girl.
Baby I love you, but if wanna leave take good care,
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there,
But just remember there's a lot of bad, and beware, beware,
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
It's hard to get by just upon a smile.
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
And I'll always remember you like a child, girl.

It's late at night and neither one of us is sleeping
I can't imagine living my life after you're gone
Wondering why so many questions have no answers
I keep on searching for the reason why we went wrong
Where is our yesterday
You and I could use it right now
But if this is goodbye
Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you, but you're too hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go
Here we are about to take the final step now
I just can't fool myself, I know there's no turning back
Face to face it's been an endless conversation
But when the love is gone you're left with nothing but talk
I'd give my everything
If only I could turn you around
But if this is goodbye
Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you, but you're too hard to hold
Trip doors kicked all around me
There is no escaping
I slowly suffocate
I'm breathing poisoned air
The living dead are outside feasting
On your souls
Infected followers now marching in
Their path
Sudden explosion and the walls
Collapse before me
No longer prisoner
I have been released
Headed towards chaos
Armageddon closing in
In search for clues that lead to
Solve this mystery
Who's responsible for this?
There is death in every kiss
You are the one, bringer of the plague
(Your virus spread among them)
Now you will pay, get on your knees
No time to waste, must annihilate
(Your virus spread among them)
Seal the gate, time to detonate
Try to escape, I am surrounded
In all corners
The creatures that remain are
Gaining up on me
Like lightning
I move fast and strike them
Where they stand, a light ahead of me
I've made it to the end
Who's responsible for this?
There is death in every kiss
I'm the only one it missed
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
When some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
And with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
(Eric Martin, Mark Spiro, Andre Pessis)
["Sing along. Strum along. Bump ahead."]
I've been miles from nowhere, crossed and doubled back
Time is a healer and I've done my time, 'cos I ain't seen love like that
I've seen the light of freedom, dim and fade to black
So many faces, but no one compares, no I ain't seen love like that
And I've got people tellin' me to let her go, don't let it turn you around
Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know, the one that you lost may be found
I believe in justice, I wonder where she's at
It feels like a lifetime and it just ain't fair
No I ain't seen love like that
And I've got people tellin' me to let her go, that girl is bringing you down
Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know, the love that you lost may be found
(Solo)
You know that people tell me to let her go, don't let it turn you around
Tomorrow's coming and you'll never know, the love that you lost may be found
I've been miles from nowhere, crossed and doubled back
Time is a healer and I've done my time, no I ain't seen love like that
No I ain't seen love like that - so many faces
Ain't seen love like that - and no one compares
I ain't seen love like that
Ain't seen love like that - ain't seen love
Ain't seen love like that - no, no I ain't

(Paul Gilbert, Eric Martin, Billy Sheehan)
Way back in the early days
1946
She walked in with the look o' love
That girl had bedroom eyes
Fire engine lipstick lips
All heads turned ooh with a human desire
It set the world on fire
My kinda woman
Someone's yesteryear dreams
That's my kinda woman
I could tear town the silver screen
A fallen woman femme fatale
Her body screamed heartbreak
Hotel... brains and beauty
Break down the walls, I fall
Down, to my knees,
When I see her picture in the
movie magazines
All heads turned ooh for the lady in red
Bring up the house light and say
My kinda woman
Bring back those yesteryear dreams
My kinda woman help me
Tear down the silver screen
Picture perfect
X marks the spot
There's just no way
To tell you how hot
My kinda woman
If I could go back in time
To the right place eye to eye
Magic to burn ooh with a human desire
She set the world on fire
My kinda woman
Someone's yesteryear dreams
My kinda woman
I could tear down the silver scrren
My kinda woman
Bring back those yesteryear dreams
And that's my kinda woman
Help me tear down the silver screen
You go to school with your head held down
You try to fit in but they push your out
Too many people put your face in the ground
You'll get them back you'll get them
Even if you gotta wait it out the rage is out
And you feel like you're worthless
When you're breakin' down
No one's around there's gotta be somethin' better than this
You wanna feel like you're livin'
Chorus
Wake up wake up son it's just a voice in your head
Get up get up tell 'em what you should have said
I know they get to ya but you got a future
Don't let 'em take you done
Wake up wake up boy you're gonna live again
You think an attitude can make you cool
Sick and tired of being everyone's fool
You think daddy's gun is gonna erase all the scars and the pain
But you better weigh it out don't ever doubt
In one moment your life can change
It's easy now to live it down
You say you feel like a number now
But you're more than a number
Bridge
You can waste your time try to
Find someone to blame and let it out
But all you need to hear is everything is gonna be fine
I dream in colors
And the people I used to be
Tomorrow never mattered
A trip on the scale of lunacy
I was a passenger
In a life I was only passing through
An angel with a dirty face
With a smile on a lie that could make it seem true
How would you ever know it - how the story goes
Painting footsteps on the road - you never know
I saw the world with diamonds in my eyes
And I'd take my heart and throw it in the sky
I believed that I'd be forever young
I could burn a hole in the sun
I'm turning the pages
Back when time was a friend of mine
How everything changes
Jump from the fun and you never think twice
How would you ever know it - how the story goes
Painting footsteps on the road - you never know
I saw the world with diamonds in my eyes
And I'd take my heart and throw it in the sky
I believed that I'd be forever young
I could burn a hole in the sun
Just a little mistake, oh no
Now I gotta pay, oh no
Cos the rumours have been going round
From a little mistake
I can't look them in the eyes no more
And I'm haunted by the memory
Thinking what for
I don't know, I don't know
I did my best friend wrong
It didn't last too long
Cos the woman who was coming round
Was a little mistake
Better days were coming
Now I'm banished and blamed
Take my chances in another town
Just a little mistake
But the highway only runs so far
God is not about to leave me
No matter how far I might go, I might go
Now a year's gone by
Cos I ain't gonna die
Cos nobody ever comes around
From a little mistake
Yeah just a little mistake
I can't look them in the eyes no more
And I'm haunted by the memory thinking what for
I don't know, I don't know
Just a little mistake
From a little mistake
From a little mistake
A mistake
I can make a couple a calls
Let's see whatever way it falls
True it's seems a little bit late
Got a dream and it just can't wait
A million places
We're wanting to be
Where everybody's standing
Now they're startin' to scream
'Round the world we go
Get a laugh from the people that you know
'Round the world we go
Stick around 'til the evening starts to blow
'Round the world we go
Now it's time to let your head explode
I can see it comin' down
I know that you can feel the sound
You and I were made to move
Just put the diamond into the groove
A million faces we're hoping to see
Where everybody's standin' staring back at me
'Round the world we go
Get a laugh from the people that you know
'Round the world we go
Stick around 'til the evening starts to blow
'Round the world we go
Now it's time to let your head explode
Everybody needs a little gettin' away
Shout it all together we've got somethin' to say
Gather up anyone that you can find
Forget the masqueraders leave 'em all behind
'Round the world we go
Get a laugh from the people that you know
'Round the world we go
Stick around 'til the evening starts to blow
'Round the world we go
Get a laugh from the people that you know
'Round the world we go
Now it's time to let your head explode
So it's goodnight
Why don't you take a leap of faith and ask me in
And be temped by the moment
Don't you think it's time
To let imagination dance you from your doubts
So we can fall with abandon
I'll shelter you
In wonder love
Till the midnight skies
Turn blue
But I won't push
I'll leave it up to you
Close your eyes
Can you feel me whisper Closer against your skin
On a bed of velvet roses
With every little touch
My hands could tracer a path Around your heart
Deep and into your secrets
I'll shelter you
In wonder love
Till the midnight skies
Turn blue
But I won't push
I'll leave it up to you
It's only love that is
Crying out
It's in your hands
Tell me baby how do I prove To you somehow
That you should know by now just who I am
Baby, don't be afraid we're Just one more kiss away
Don't waste a perfect moon
But I won't push
I'll leave it up to you
I'll be true to you, Baby
But, I won't push
I'll leave it up to you
leave it up to you, Ohh, yes I will, Uhhh ...
It's All in your Hands,
In your heart
Love is a stranger you didn't plan on
Turns you to a victim or a volunteer
It can disappear like a rose in a garden
There's nothing like it in the world
You can swear to God that it's over
Tell a clipped heart to play dead
There's no way to stop looking over your shoulder
There's nothing like it in the world
There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothing like a dream where you learn how to fly
I know for sure, 'cause I've been there before
There's nothing like it in the world
Somewhere in a smile there's an invitation
Calling you back into the dance
You can't deny such a high from a beautiful moment
There's nothing like it in the world
There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothing like a dream where you learn how to fly
I know for sure, 'cause I've been there before
There's nothing like it in the world
Solo
There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothhing like a dream where you learn how to fly
With no compromise
I now for sure, cause I've been there before
There's nothing like it in the world
Nobody on the road
nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
the summer's out of reach
Empty lake,
empty streets
the sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not home
But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your
sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you
will still be strong after the boys of
summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream?
Now I don't understand what's happened
to our love,
But baby when I get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today I saw a DEADHEAD sticker
on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't
look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was,
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone
I can see you-
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and
those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone
The clock is ticking on the table in my room.
Funny how the time just slips away.
An ordinary simple man
Who's lost a little piece of something.
Hold my breath and close my eyes.
Say a little prayer.
Here we go again hello.
I didn't see the end and so the story goes.
How can I be cool?
I always play the fool!
I need a shot of love.
Like an arrow through the heart.
My mind is open to the page of yesterday.
Isn't it a crime how love can go.
I always knew there would come a day
When silence played the king of pain.
So I close my eyes and hold my breath.
And contemplate a change.
Here we go again hello.
I didn't see the end and so the story goes.
How can I be cool?
I always play the fool!
I need a shot of love.
Like an arrow throuth the heart.
I have my faith in life.
I know the truth inside.
This time I swear it's gonna be better.
I used to dream of only you
now I don't do that.
I used to miss talkin' to you
oh, now I don't do that.
Since you've been gone I learned to stop
tryin' to hold on because
there's not one night, one single day
that I wouldn't give to you.
So with all my might in every way,
I'll try to forget you too.
I thought you could tell me anything
yeah, you used to do that.
You let me inside of everything
yeah, you used to do that.
Never to change at least I thought
it feels so strange because
there's not one night, one single day
that I wouldn't give to you.
So with all my might in every way,
I'll try to forget you too.
Loneliness may come knockin' at my door
where I'm comin' from that don't phase me anymore.
Time has shed a little light on where I'm supposed to be
there ain't no used in thinking you'll come running back to me.
Since you've been gone I learned to stop
tryin' to hold on because
there's not one night, one single day
that I wouldn't give to you.
So with all my might in every way,
I'll try to forget you too.
All right, huh!
I work hard every day
Come rain or shine
Don't need nobody
To tell about a girl of mine
She's got so much love
She saved it all for me
And I would not be lying
It's the way it's gotta be
So mister Big, uh
Better watch out, uh
And don't you hang around me now
That' all for you
I would dig-ya
A great big hole in the ground
All right....yeah, yeah
Now listen
I don't care who you are.
So don't explain
Better get on out of here
And don't you come back again
I don't want a thing from ya
Don't wanna give you nothing too
So get on out of here
Before I lose my cool
[repeat chorus]
Don't you know I really need to?
Oh, woh, woh, Mister Big, yeah.
Everything is always changing
Even in a world that stays the same
Breakin' heavy hearts are shaken
All the lonely people live the game
He waits for her, she waits for him
They wait for anyone
And another day begins
{Chorus}:
People rushin' everywhere
Never any time to care
Us and them and me and you
Piling up so much to do
All the colors start to fade to grey
An ordinary day is just
One world away
Try to five them what they want
You're stuck inside that same old
State of grace
All we are, all we seem
A noisy dream inside a quiet place
I wait for her, she waits for him
He waits for anyone
And another day begins
{Chorus} [2x]
Did you ever write my name with a fountain pen
In your books or on your desk
or did you tell your friends
That I was someone special
Did you ever lie awake the entire night
Glowing in the dark with no sheets or light
Thinking that I was someone special
You got me running
running late at night
trying to find you
And I started thinking
thinking all the time
But what could I do
I had something for you
Was there something for me
I had something to give you
But it's a mystery
Did you change your clothes did you hesitate
walking back and forth, always being late
Cause I was someone special
Did you ever take a shower did you wash your face
making up the bed thinking just incase
That I was someone special
You got me running
running late at night
trying to find you
And I started thinking
thinking all the time
But what could I do
I had something for you
Was there something for me
I had something to give you
But it's a mystery
You got me running
running late at night
trying to find you
And I started thinking
thinking all the time
But what could I do
I had something for you
Was there something for me
I had something to give you
But it's a mystery
I had something for you
Was there something for me
I had something to give you
But it's a mystery
Something special
I work hard all day
Come rain or shine
Don't need nobody
To tell me 'bout a girl of mine
She's got so much love
And she saves just for me
I would not be lying
That's the way it's got to be
So Mr. Big
You'd better watch out
Don't you be hangin' around
Cause for you
I will dig
A great big hole in the ground
I don't care who you are
So don't explain
Just get out of here
And don't be comin' back
I don't want anything from you
The only thing
Is get out of here
Before I lose my cool.
So Mr. Big
You'd better watch out
Don't you be hangin' around
Cause for you
I will dig
A great big hole in the ground
Hey, yeah
Oh-h-h yeah
I will dig
A great big hole in the ground
Oh, oh
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah!
I don't care who you are
I don't care who you are
So don't explain
Just get out of here
And don't you come back
I don't want anything from you
The only thing
Get out of here
Before I lose my cool.
So Mr. Big
You'd better watch out
Don't you come hangin' around
Cause for you
I will dig
A great big hole in the ground
I work hard everyday
Come rain or shine
And I don't need no one
To tell me 'bout a girl of mine
She's got so much love
And she saves it all for me
I would not be lying
That's the way it's got to be
So Mr. Big
You'd better watch out
When only you hang around me
Oh for you now
I will dig
A great big hole in the ground.
I don't care who you are
So don't explain
Just get out of here
And don't come back again
I don't want a thing from you
I don't want to give you nothing too
Get out of here
Before I lose my cool.
