Now listen to me, baby
I keep it on so low
And I whisper to you, sister
Now we're all alone
Take no notice of me, baby
Like a dream gonna keep it quit
So I can hear you scream
Words of wonder
Are the words I wanna hear
I'm sticking to you, baby, until I arrive
I'm half dead, a quarter alive
A little bit is missing
Wonder where it's gone
Pay me no attention, I babble on and on
Words, these words of wonder
Are the words I wanna hear
Those words, the words of wonder
They are the words I wanna hear
Dripping from your lips
Yeah, that's the way it goes
That's the way it comes
Ya' know what I mean
Now that your talkin' to me, baby
Still you say that I'm obscene
Words, words of wonder
They are the words I wanna hear
Words, those words of wonder
Are the words I wanna hear
Let me roll it over, baby
Now I got to jam it up
Make you weep and moan
Go around the back, baby
And make yourself known
The words, these are words of wonder
These are the words you better learn
These are words, these words of wonder
These are words, you ought to know
You been talkin' to me, sweetie
You know I babble on and on
Ooh, I run away my tongue
Giving thanks and praises
Low friends in high places
Traveling down a road that's lonely
Wondering why you're feelin' blue
Living just for yourself only
I know what you're going through
Looking through those shady lenses
Will distort the view
Yeah, can't you see that
Love is needed?
Let me share my life with you
Make your mind up
Where we wind up
It's up to you
It's up to you
How can you see the new horizon
When you hide your heart away?
The past has made you so protective
But those are dues you had to pay
Now throw away the gloomy makeup
Groovin' is the thing to do
Well, time to wake up
All your feelings
Let the sun come shining through
Make your mind up
Where we wind up
It's up to you
It's up to you
It's up to you
Hey hey hey

Giving up lovin' - easy to do
People so pityful

Honey, honey, honey I ain't that way
You want a little bit - once in a while
Come on and get a bit
You shouldn't take it so hard - Yeah
You shouldn't take it

Under pressure to express yourself

Hard to fight
Struggle, struggle
You and me should never feel neglected, overlooked,
One worked, overhooked
Doing as you're told
Hell on hold
Through the night
Without a fight
You gotta face the day
If you struffle baby
I know I am not a model husband though I'd like to be
Payday nights and painted women they do strange things
to me
But when the partys over and the good is all she see
Though I let her down she still comes around
To love what's left of me
Six days out of seven I work hard at doing right
But believe me you could set your watch and find me on
Friday night
I'm luck that she understands the fool that lives in me
Though I let her down she still comes around
To love what's left of me
The way that I'm living now its a wonder she can take
That woman got a heart of gold and its killing me to
break it
I know I don't deserve her but I'm thankful as could be
Though I let her down she still comes around
To love what's left of me
Though I let her down she still comes around

I got the key to the highway
Feel like I’m bound to go
But I’ll come running 'cause
Walking is much too slow
I’m going back to the bottom (border)
Where I’m, I’m better known
’Cause when I leave this town, yeah
I won’t be back no more
Oh give me one more kiss, mama
Just before I go
Because when I leave this town
I won’t be back no more
When the moon peeps over the mountains
Honey, I’ll be on my way
I’m gonna roam this highway
Until the break of day
So give me one more kiss, mama
I must say goodbye
I’m gonna roam this highway
Tell by her movement
A flick of the hand
You know where you stand
What does it mean
It means a lot
Ah hug oh yeah

How I wish that you were here again
How I wish that you were here again
If I could see you and touch you with my hand
If I could feel you, I know damn well I can't
How I wish that you were here again
How I wish I had you near again
If I could see you, Oh just now and then
If I could feel you, I'd do my time again
Oh Honey, honey, honey, Yeah
If I could kiss you, caress you now and then
Ooh just to thrill you, I'd do life again, Yeah
Oh Honey, honey, honey, Yeah
How I wish that you were here again
Oh Honey, honey, yeah
Your tongue is a dagger
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for you
And with one word, and with just one word
Choking the life, I breathe my last
And with one look, and with just one look
You hold the key to this heart of glass
This is the withering
I’m aging years in moments
This is the path that leads
To my demise
Your tongue is a dagger
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for you
And with one word, and with just one word
You’ve shattered my world and crushed my soul
And with one look, and with just one look
The rising sun has never felt so cold
This is the suffering
The echoes of your voice haunt
This faded memory
Is my demise
Your tongue is a dagger
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for...
And I feel this all too slow
And I’ve been here for so long
And I feel so empty
As you walk away
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
I would give it all away
For the chance to shine again
I would freely pay the price
For the touch of your hand
And I feel this all too slow
And I’ve been here for so long
And I feel so empty
As you walk away
What have you done?
What have you become?
All is lost
We are left with sorrow
What have you done?
What have you become?
All is lost
We are left with sorrow
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
Well I never kept a dollar past sunset,
It always burned a hole in my pants.
Never made a school mama happy,
Never blew a second chance, oh no
I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love to keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Always took candy from strangers,
Didn't wanna get me no trade.
Never want to be like papa,
Working for the boss ev'ry night and day.
I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love, baby won't ya keep me happy.
Baby, won't ya keep me happy.
Baby, please keep me
I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love to keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Never got a flash out of cocktails,
When I got some flesh off the bone.
Never got a lift out of Lear jets,
When I can fly way back home.
I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love to keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
You thrust the knife into my side with words you say you realize
That I came to speak of what I see no matter what you do to me
I stand no compromise I feel prepared to die
Falling, our lives were led astray when we fell from grace
Calling, your life won’t be denied when washed with blood and flames
You thrust the knife into my side with words you say you realize
I stand no compromise I feel prepared to die
My life for yours, this raging war, as I stand in the midst of darkness screaming
Falling, our lives were led astray when we fell from grace
Calling, your life won’t be denied when washed with blood and flames
My life for yours, this raging war, as I stand in the midst of darkness screaming
We know our roots, we know the truth, the strength of our foundations
I stand no compromise I feel prepared to die
Falling, our lives were led astray when we fell from grace
Calling, your life won’t be denied when washed with blood and flames
My life for yours, this raging war, as I stand in the midst of darkness screaming
Connection, I just can't make no connection.
But all I want to do is to get back to you.
Everything is going in the wrong direction.
The doctor wants to give me more injections.
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don't know if he'll let me go
Connection, I just can't make no connection.
But all I want to do is to get back to you.
Connection, I just can't make it, connection

Wall in your face and
A gun in your back
No time for weepin' baby
No need for tears

How you, how you should grow
Big enough
Ready, willing, able, and big enough
She swears, that I'm the only one
What about yesterday, yeah

Somehow I still suspect
Locked away
She ought to be locked away
She ought to be locked away
My mind is racing
Footsteps lead me to jealousy
I'm loosing my grip
I can't trust the way I feel
Locked away
I ought to be locked away
I ought to be locked away
My friends say that you're friends say, Ooh
That I ain't worth your time
I know what you must hear
Don't let it interfere
Locked away
They ought to be locked away
They ought to be locked away
Locked away
We can't do anything
Any trick in the book
We can't go anywhere
All long as we care
We ought to be locked away
We ought to be locked away
Well hung, friend of mine
He's size 8 -I'm size 9
So shucks my dear
I'm gonna get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember
That I could have, yes I could have, ooh
Yes I could have, I could have stood you up
But I did, did, didn't yeah yeah
Short fuse, lights blew out
Power came back - hear them shout
So shucks my dear
Gotta get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember
That I could have, yes I could have, ooh
Yes I could have, I could have stood you up
But I did, did, didn't yeah yeah
My shoes, walk down the street
Only trouble is they ain't on my feet
Dig them kicks, they belong to me
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember
That I could have, yes I could have, ooh
Yes I could have, I could have stood you up
But I did, did, didn't yeah yeah
Rip it up, rip it down
Change the shape of the whole damn town,
Shucks my dear
I'm gonna get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember
That I could have, yes I could have, ooh
Yes I could have, I could have stood you up
Darling there's talk around town
about a girl who spreads love around
With soft lips and eyes crystal blue
darling please say it's not you
They say that she comes in alone
and stays till self respect is gone
And each night she leaves with someone new
darling say it's not you
At first what they said didn't hurt me
until they mentioned her name
Then slowly the tears overtook me
her name and yours is the same
Each night till the breaking of dawn
I'm prayin' that you're not the one
Tell me lies but say it's not true
darling say it's not you
Well, I hear you talking and I see me walking
Let me make clear, I'm outta here, oh yeah
You know it makes no sense to me
No way, you gonna get no fence around me, yap yap
You known you talk too much, mmm yeah
Yap yap, you talk too much
Even in my sleep I hear you babe
But it makes me weep when I'm awake
When I hear the whispers, babe
The echoes coming round the bluff
I get all my secrets back
It's quite a shock, mmm yeah
Yap yap, you know you're talking too much, mmm
It's driving me, driving me
So what's the message
Why don't you talk to me
Yeah, it gets to me
Well, I hear you talking
It makes no sense to me
And all Ive done is come around once more and make a mess of things
When Im here, its all repair
and then I throw it all away
I wish we all could just see who we are and what we really need
Because deep inside, we're all the same...
We live, we love, we bleed...
For everything we've done we're sorry
Where is our second chance
For everytime we've turned away,
Do we get a second glance?
For all the time we wasted,
do we get another day?
For all the hurt we tasted,
Does it ever go away?
We are not the sum,
of things we used to do.
Our pasts are simply over,
Each day we start brand new.
I hope you see just who I am,
Its you I only need...
Because deep inside, we are the same...
I'm just letting you in
Mabye you know
Let me tell you something
It's painful to say
Which way to go
I don't know
Demon in me
Demon in me
I can't live without it
Every river must flow
Shine the light
I want you to stay
But I'm forcing you out
I can't express it
It's such a mess
Demon in me
Demon in me
Between you and me
Demon in me
Demon in me
I'm warning you up
'Cause you slide on my mind
Hammers on my heart
Show me which way to go
I don't know
It's livin' in me
The demon in me
Demon in me
