STARING AT YOUR WINDOW WITH A SUITCASE IN MY HAND
You think you know me just because you know my name
You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line of my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
But does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truth
You need somebody, somebody to hold on to
But this ain't the movies and we ain't the heroes
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by
And the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
I say I want you, but when we woke up one of us was crying
You rolled over and all you said was ‘Man I think I'm dying'
Our song is over, the band of gold has been feeling like a nose
You place your bets, 'cause no one thinks they'll lose
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by
And the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The light of love can blind you 'til it covers up your eyes
And you try to find the reason not to say goodbye
It's the course of every sailor standing on dry land
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The night is fading, like my old tattoo
A heart and a dagger, that says ‘Forever'
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by
And the moon don't give a damn
I'm gettin' tired of talking, and I don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
When I promised you,
That I would be strong,
It was not a lie,
It was just that I was wrong
There's no way I'd ever guess,
I'd be so defenseless
I have walked against the wind,
I find shelter in my friends,
There's some comfort in the wine,
If I can sleep it buys me time,
I can duck out of the rain,
But there's no hiding from the truth,
I'm still naked to the pain,
Of losing you
I can't build a door,
That you can't drift through,
When I close my eyes,
I still dream of you
Don't you know when you love someone,
There's no protection
* Repeat
I can duck out of the rain,
But there's no hiding from the truth,
But I'm still naked to the pain… of losing you.
I got my call light on, gimme one more fare tonight
Just get me over the bridge, I can see those shiny bay lights
You know I'm never alone but I'm feeling lonely tonight
Damn, I got my last cigarette but I ain't got no light
God let these wheels roll to where the girls are pretty
Where the nights explode and life is still living
Down this open road, the arms of pity
Wait to greet me tonight in little city
In my rear view mirror, I see someone else's hairline
I hear that fire in your eyes is on the rock and doing hard time
And the grapes of wrath, they're on the vine
There's wine in this dirt
Here love ain't love, tt's just another four letter word
God let these wheels roll to where the girls are pretty
Where the nights explode and life is still living
Down this open road, the arms of pity
Wait to greet me tonight in little city
shalalalalala, shalalalalala, shalalalalala, oh
shalalalalala, shalalalalala, shalalalalala, oh
God let these wheels roll to where the girls are pretty
Where the nights explode and life is still living
Down this open road, the arms of pity
Wait to greet me tonight in little city
Now that cold gray fog's just a rolling down the highway
He's come to carry me home
It puts a little smile on my face
Yeah, roll with me baby
I can see those daylights calling me home
Yeah, I'm never alone
Just turn the radio on
There's an old song I used to know
I was walking on a wire
Looking down, there was no net
Now, I'm standing at your door
Me and my last cigarette, oh
Yeah, we've been through this before
Too late to cover up my tracks
Damn the fool who begs for more
I'll take my past and paint it black
Now this circus has left town
This clown has gotta get his feet back on the ground
I'm learning how to fall (learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit (learning how to fall )
I had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
Now I'm learning how to fall... (learning how to fall)
Yeah, I got the hang of it
I was standing in the light
There were faces all around
I put my gloves up for the fight
One sucker punch and I was down
I'm learning how to fall (learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit (learning how to fall)
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall... (learning how to fall)
Yeah, I got the hang of it
I was flying through the clouds
Pucker up, it's time to kiss the ground
I'm learning how to fall (learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit (learning how to fall)
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall... (learning how to fall)
Now I got the hang of it (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall)
Yeah I got the hang of it, (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall)
Learning how to fall, (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall), learning how to fall
J. Bon Jovi
Sitting here just watching you sleep
Wish I could slip inside and be
In some Technicolor dream
But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe
I'm not fool enough to think
You couldn't live life without me
I didn't come this far to throw the towel in
I didn't fight this hard to walk away
If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry
It's just because the words got in the way
I remember how it used to be
I was you and you were me
We were more than just the same
Now these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tight
When you want a kiss, I take a bite
Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights
Last night I drak enough to drown
Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health
Look, we both know how much I've let you down
Janie don't you take your love to town
Janie don't you take your love to town
Janie don't you take your love to town
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Janie don't you take your love to town
You deserve a shooter, a saint
Someone to give it to you straight
To find the soul throught flesh and bone
My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather
But it's left me feeling cold
Now all you want to do is take me home
I hated you, the night you said you loved me
I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself
I'm begging you now, baby please just hold me
I got one foot in, one foot off the ground
Janie don't you take your love to town
Janie don't you take your love to town
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Janie don't you take your love to town
Sitting here while you're fast asleep
In the bathroom by the sink
Trying to write the right words down
I turn out the lights, close my eyes
There ain't no prayers or kiss goodnight
What I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say now
Janie don't you take your love to town
Janie don't you take your love to town
Janie don't you take your love to town
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Janie don't you take your love to town
I've been staring at the page for what seems like days
I guess I put this one off for a while
Did I see a tear fall from your eyes ?
Or did you laugh so hard that you cried ?
When I served my secrets on a silver tray to you (hey now)
Hey now, I guess the night's just bringing me down
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
You've been the blood in my veins
The only one who knows my middle name
And the smiles, they came easy 'cause of you (hey now)
You know that I love you, but I hate you
'Cause I know I can never escape you
So let the choir sing for tonight I'm an easy mark (hey now)
Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud ?
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
Have I said too much
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
Hush me darling, maybe I've lost my touch
Maybe I've lost my guts
There, is that truth enough ?
Hey now, hey now...
[Guitar solo]
You know these love letters mix with whisky
Just don't light a match when you kiss me
Though I'll blow away, you know I'll be back soon (hey now)
Hey now, hey now, hey now, am I talking just a little too loud ?
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
Have I said too much
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
Hey now, am I talking just a little too proud ?
Hey now, the night's just bringing me down
Hey babe, it's me parked outside your house
I know that he's asleep, so listen to me now
Darlin', I'm tired of living just in your dreams
I'm getting out
You know we both sold our souls
We're just growing old in this sleepy, dead-end town
Destination anywhere - Name the place, I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Baby, we both been running uphill for too long
We both settled for something, got nothing
And we both know that it's wrong
Go on admit it if we lived it
I'm leaving, get your boots and come on
I've got my coat and my keys
I need you next to me then I'm gone, come on
Destination anywhere - Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Destination anywhere - Left or right, I don't care
Baby we'll just disappear like the sun, ooh...
[Guitar solo]
When these wheels spin, baby they can all eat our dust
As far as I'm concerned, this whole town lost its nuts
We won't be here when they put us down
It's our big chance, I'm calling you now
They'll never let us go unless we try
I'm tired of living just to die
We're getting out of here, destination anywhere
Destination anywhere - Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Destination anywhere - Left or right, I don't care
Maybe we'll just disappear chase the sun
Come on, come on, come on
She said baby our love’s just like your songs
The beat ain’t bad but the words are all wrong
It’s time to pack my bags, it’s time to just move on
She sang Johnny I’m gone, gone, gone
And she was gone
Me and Leigh met summer of ’95
In a burgundy dress lookin’ finer than a French wine
A Cajun queen with another side
She was a schoolboy’s dream, I was out of my mind
She was lookin’ fine
She said: ”You want to drive me home”
But what I didn’t know…
Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – it was almost like a dream
That night I made a move, man I fell hard
When I put my hands in her cookie jar
She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star
I was a deer in the light of speeding car
Nothing’s what it seems
She was a Venus de Milo in her sister’s jeans
Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – it was almost like a dream
Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – dancing with the Queen down Bourbon Street
Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – nothing’s what it seems in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – dancing with the Queen down Bourbon Street
Ooh, ooh – I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Janie, don't you take your love to town
Janie, don't you take your love
As we stood there older than men
And younger than the boys (that's right)
We were as still as the wind
That blows on a hot August night
And you were lonesome as a jukebox
But deadly just the same
I could be as gentle as a newborn
Then spit into the eye of a hurricane
And we knew how to laugh
And we knew how to cry
Yeah, we sure knew how to live
But we don't ever
Never say die, never say die
I guess you'd say we had a pact
These words we knew so well (that's right)
Still they remained unspoken
And we'd take them to the fiery gates of hell
Once I was afraid of love
But when it's your brother those things change
'Cause love is just another word for trust
So hear me when I say
Never say die, never say no
You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die
[Guitar solo]
Yeah, and we could run like lightning (we could run like lightning)
Through the pouring rain (through the rain)
And we'll be standing like a soldier
Who comes marching home again (left, right, left, right)
They ask what it is that I want written (they ask what it is that I want written)
On the gravestone where I'll lie (on the gravestone where I'll lie)
Tell them it's just my bones that died there (tell them it's just my bones that died there)
So save the tears they'll cry (so save the tears they'll cry)
My spirit is still riding somewhere's in this night
And it's these three words that come to me
As I kiss this world good bye
Never say die, never say no
You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die, never say die... (that's right
[William Bonney:] 'Yoo-hoo, I'll make you famous!'
I just seen trouble, he's calling out your name tonight
Billy get your guns
You could walk away but I know you were born to fight
So Billy get your guns
The bandileros are strung out in the promenade
Billy get your guns
And the wind whispers softly that the devil's to blame
Billy get your guns
Billy get your guns
There's trouble blowing like a hurricane
Billy get your guns
That's the price on your head for the price of fame
And it'll never change
Billy get your guns
There's a whiskey bottle empty sittin' on the bar
Billy get your guns
And some organ grinder singing about some sucker moving on
Billy get your guns
All the whores are hanging out waiting to get paid
Billy get your guns
From some Johnny on the spot who said hey keep the change baby
Billy get your guns
Billy get your guns
There's trouble blowing like a hurricane
Billy get your guns
That's the price on your head for the price of fame
And it'll never change
No, Billy get your guns
They christened you with whiskey
And there's fire running through your veins
Well you're an outlaw just the same
And every night a bullet wears your name
[Guitar solo]
Billy get your guns
There's trouble blowing like a hurricane
Billy get your guns
That's the price on your head for the price of fame
And it'll never change
No, Billy get your guns
I've seen a hangman dancing beneath the pale moonlight
Billy get your guns
And every stranger that you meet thinks it's his lucky night
Billy get your guns
I don't envy you Billy but I want to say
You better get your guns
'Cause every outlaw that's died will live to ride again
Billy get your guns
Billy get your guns
There's trouble blowing like a hurricane
Billy get your guns
That's the price on your head for the price of fame
And it'll never change
Billy get your guns, Billy get your guns
Billy get your guns, Billy get your guns
[Vocals: Lou Diamond Phillips and Julia Waters]
There's no country, there's no freedom
There's no you, there's no me
There's no justice, there's no justice, there's no justice
Hey mister can you help me
I'm a loner on the run
I'm just looking for tomorrow
And I ain't gonna hurt no one
I jumped headfirst into a bottle
I was looking for a friend
Came up just short of nothing
I didn't find the truth, I only found an end
So tell me who's gonna save me
Or my father or my son
When the only justice a man can see
Is the barrel of a loaded gun, oh yeah
I been broke and I've been hungry
I think they're both my middle name, ooh
But I don't never ever never seem to get enough
Still guess I guess complain
'Cause what you get in life you take it
You've gotta hold on, make it last, ooh
They say good things come to those who wait
But it's life that goes so fast
And when there's just one rule you live by
Each day you kiss the rising sun
When you live and die by the life we breathe
In the barrel of a loaded...
Gun talk to me in my sleep at night
And a gun somewhere is burning with my name
[Guitar solo]
Winners are losers
And losers will have to face all those yesterdays
And all of the dreams they blew away
So Mister can you help me or are you my gun
Have the ghosts of justice brought you here to me to taste, ooh
The barrel of a loaded gun
There's justice in the barrel of a loaded gun
Justice in the barrel of a loaded gun
Justice in the barrel of a loaded gun
Justice in the barrel of a loaded gun
Hey Patty Garrett that's what I used to call you
They tell me you want me but I hear they've got you
They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver
They paid you some money to sell them my blood
But you say, this ain't about me and this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've gotta cause you can't walk away
Wonder what would of have happened if you were the killer and I was the hero
Would things be the same ?
Or would I have traded your life for my own life ?
Would I have paid your debts in your place ?
I don't know
But this ain't about me and this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've gotta cause you can't walk away
Blood money, that's what I call it
'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange
Blood money
Bought and then sold you
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave
[Josiah Gordon 'Doc' Scurlock:]
'You rode a 15 year old boy straight to his grave and the rest of us straight to hell.'
A whiskey bottle comforts me
And tells me not to cry
While a full moon says a prayer for me
I try to close my eyes
But the night's there to remind me
Of the guns and the early graves
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep
To sing an outlaw's serenade
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done ?
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Oh... the desert's been a friend to me
It covers me by night
And a snakebite's not my enemy
But it taught me how to fight
All this fame don't bring you freedom
Though it wears a thin disguise
And an outlaw is just a man to me
And a man has to die
Oh, dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done ?
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
na...
And I hope someone will pray for me
When it's my turn to die... pray for me
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done ?
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
na...
R.Sambora
You can be a million miles away
I will always love you
you can be a thousand throught always
I'll be thinking of you
No matter where you try to hide
you will always gonna find me
right where I belong
been here beside you all along
like some ancient star
forever we'll remain.
Even if the sky should ever fall from grace
if I die or fade away
in the end you'll always know
you're not alone.
You can change your face to someone else
still I won't forget you
when you're feeling lost inside yourself
I will come and get you
These days the only saviour you can find
is something you believe in
deep inside your heart
you might believe in me
Like some ancient star
forever we'll remain
Even if the sky should ever fall from grace
if I die or fade away
in your life you'll always know.
I know you got your fears and doubts
they're weighing on your mind
but something's gonna save you
you're gonna see the truth inside
I'll be right beside you
when the world tears apart
on your book like a shadow
no matter where you are
Like some ancient star
forever we'll remain
Even if the sky should ever fall from grace
if I die or fade away
in the end you'll always know
you're not alone
you're not alone.
It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home
[Chorus:]
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're all alone all you do is think
[Chorus]
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
1, 2, 3, 4
Well you're dancing with the shadow
You been talking in your sleep
Well you can walk on water
But don't want to wet your feet
You really got me, you really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really put me through it
You got me, yeah
You say you talk to everyone
Who is anyone in town
But they don't recognize you
With your feet out of your mouth
You really got me, you really got me now, yeah
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really drive me through it
You got me
Who am I to judge a man who says that's he's his own biggest fan
It's true / Richard...
[Piano solo]
You brought a knife out to a gunfight
And you're shouting that I'm dead
My old friends Smith and Wesson
Think you're in over your head
You really got me, you really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really drive me through it
You got me now
You really got me, you really got me now
You burn your bridges baby
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really put me through it
You got me, yeah
At the mirror you fix your hair and put your makeup on
You're insecure about what clothes to wear
I can't see nothing wrong
To me you look so beautiful when you can't make up your mind
It's half past eight, it's getting late
It's OK, take your time
Standing here my hands in my pockets
Like I have a thousand times
Thinking back it took one breath
One word to change my life
[Chorus:]
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello
When we walk into a crowded room it's like we're all alone
Everybody tries to kidnap your attention
You just smile and steal the show
You come to me and take my hand
We start dancin' slow
You put your lips up to my ear and whisper way down low
[Chorus:]
From the first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello
And when you're laying down beside me
I feel your heartbeat to remind me...
[Chorus:]
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello
From hello
From hello
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free
You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
[Chorus:]
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
[Chorus]
You can lose at cards
You can lose your keys
You can lose the house or lose the lease
You can lose your car, you can lose the race
You can lose your mind or lose your faith
Take a look around and hear what I've gotta say
You can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
No, you can't lose at love
We could lose the plot
Or we could lose our way
But I ain't going to lose
These ain't good games we're playing
Let me make you an offer too good to refuse
No, you can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
But you can't lose at love
Now we just might roll a seven, these ain't loaded dice
We'll never get to heaven from this driveway tonight
You've heard a million promises that's never come through
Baby I'm telling you we're due
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
But baby, you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
Cause you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
No, you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
You can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose
You can't lose
Call it social commentary
Call it just what me eyes see
Seems that there's more pretty women
Than there are fish in the sea
...Woman in love
You see there's girls who like your money
Girls who like your car
Girls who like to sip champagne
And feed on caviar
...Woman in love
Send me some silk stockings
Smooth talking lipstick and curls
I want a woman
More than a girl
Need some lip-locking, cool walking
Diamonds and pearls
I'll wrap 'em all up
And give them the world
You know there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain't nothing
She can't rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
But there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
If lust is just a dirty dog
I've been scratching with the fleas
I've been waking up your neighbours
Barking up your tree
I went down to the shopping mall
To get it off my mind
But it's like sleeping with the enemy
If you're not deaf and blind
I tried to run
But it was too late for me
I tried to hide
Since the day Adam met Eve
Till I turned on the television
And I looked up on the screen
I saw a hundred pretty girls
Sing this song on MTV
Sen me some silk stockings
Smooth talking lipstick and curls
I want a woman
More than a girl
Need some lip-locking, cool walking
Diamonds and pearls
I'll wrap 'em all up
And give them the world
You know there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain't nothing she can't rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
There ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
There ain't secret
To woman in love
You think that you can
Live without 'em
But you're asking too much
You see I've slept with romance
And danced with lust
But there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Oh, yeah
I've traveled all around the world
Across the seven seas
Got everything I wanted
There's just one thing I need
It hasn't changed forever
Fathers tell your sons
That there ain't nothing like
A thing called love
You know there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain't nothing she can't rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
There ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
There ain't secret
To woman in love
You think that you can
Live without 'em
But you're asking too much
You see I've slept with romance
And danced with lust
But there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Oh, yeah
I've got something on my mind
I'm just a little bit depressed
I tried to blame it on the rain
But it was in my heart I guess
I'm feeling like a stranger
When I drove through my hometown
Past the sign that Home of a Boyhood Place thats long gone now
I realized aint nuthin what it used to be
Until I heard a song that takes me to my memories
The radio saved my life tonight
An old song that the DJ played made me feel alright
I made it home by my dashboard light
The radio saved my life tonight
Just this side of morning
Just this side of dawn
I walked so soft into my bedroom saw my wife sleeping alone
She whispered Baby are you ok? Have you been gone for long?
I just kicked off my jeans and held her close, I held her all night long
I tried to sleep but in my mind I heard that song
The radio saved my life tonight
The sad song that the dj played made me feel alright
As i drove down that lonesome highway just me and my dashboard light
The radio saved my life tonight
The radio saved my life tonight
that old song that the dj played made me feel alright
I made it home by my dashboard light
The radio saved my life tonight
She wasn't young, but still a child
There still was innocence
In painted smiles
She called to me as I passed her by
Lady of the night looked in my eyes
She said: I been through some changes
But one thing always stays the same
[Chorus:]
Without love, there's nothing without love
Nothing else can get through the night
Nothing else feels right without love
I saw a man down on lonely street
A broken man who looked like me
And no one knows the pain that he's been living
He lost his love and still hasn't forgiven
He said: I've been through some changes
But one thing always stays the same
[Chorus]
There's nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
And nothing would mean nothing without love
I see my life
There's some things I took for granted
Love's passed me by
So many second chances
I was afraid
But I won't be afraid no more
[Chorus]
There's nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
And nothing would mean nothing without love
What would you do if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love - she's away
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad becaouse you're on your own
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Baby I don't know
Baby I don't know
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I just need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love
Could you believe in the love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn off the light
I can't tell you but I'm sure I feel nice
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I just need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
Baby I don't know
Baby I don't know
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
She wakes up when I sleep
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
If you don't follow what I mean
I sure don't mean to be confusing
They say when she laughs she wants to cry
She'll draw a crowd then try to hide
Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm losing
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
Wildflower
That girl's sure put a spell on me
Yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket
If she's fire, I'm gasoline
Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it
Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her brothers
Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a lover
[Chorus]
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
She's at home with the weeds
And just as free as the night breeze
She's got the cool of a shade tree
She's growin' on me and I can't live with out her
Yesterday's a memory
Tomorrow's accessory
That's her favorite quote about regret
Well, she'll tell you about her pedigree
With a sailor's mouth he'd have left at sea and it ain't over yet
[Chorus]
Nobody knows [x3]
That's right
She wakes up when I sleep
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
I tried to make you happy
You know I tried so hard to be
What you hoped that I would be
I gave you what wanted
God couldn't give you what you need
You wanted more from me
Than I could ever be
You wanted heart and soul
But you didn't know, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart
Wild is the wind,
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
Wild is the wind
You need someone to hold you
Somebody to be there night and day
Someone to kiss your fears away
I just went on pretending
Too weak, too proud, too tough to say
I couldn't be the one
To make your dreams come true
That's why I had to run
Though I needed you, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart tonight
That tears us apart
Wild is the wind,
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
Wild is the wind
[Solo]
Maybe a better man
Would live and die for you
Baby, a better man would
Never say goodbye to you
Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart tonight
That tears us apart
Wild is the wind,
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
Wild is the wind
In the heat of the street of the city
A young boy hides the pain
And he walks so tall, trying to hang on
But he knows he's going down again
I know he's going down...
Darkness fades he's the prince of his city
In a place where they all know your name
You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed.
Your just a pawn in a losin' game
You lose at life it ain't no game
Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive
The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...
All alone in a place where the lonely
They all have to walk through the rain
And they dance on the edge where you only
Only pray that it has to end
That the night ain't no friend
Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive
The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...
(X 2)
These four walls they could tell you some stories
About lying and dying and fame
There's a price that you pay for the glory
About losing and choosing and pain.
Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
In the night, hear their cries, in the night
Stay alive
In the night, stay alive, in the night
Joey comes from a sacred part of town
Where sometimes you talk so tough
That your feet don't touch the ground
And the sidewalk soldiers sing the midnite blues
While the old men recite their story lines
About when I was young like you
They say: Oh yeah
We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
We were wild, wild in the streets
A member of the boy's brigade
Had a date with the girl next door
You know it made her daddy crazy
But it only made her want him more
They weren't looking for trouble
You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight
So she headed out thru her bathroom window
What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright
They said: Oh yeah
We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
We were wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Sometimes this town ain't pretty
But you know it ain't so bad
Just like a girl who looks so happy
Whe inside she's so so sad
In here we got this code of honor
Nobody's going down
You don't walk in vain
Trough the kid's parade
'Cause this is my hometown
I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place
I was lookin' for something I couldn't replace
I was runnin' away from the only thing I've ever known
And like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsyu lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
I've been there, done that, I ain't lookin' that
The seeds I've sown, saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone...
Who says you can't go home...
Who says you can't go home
There's only one place that call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling-stone, who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back, been around all around the world and
that's a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright...
I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I left a million mile of memories on that road
And every step I take I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home
These are my streets, the only life I've ever known, who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go home
There's only one place that call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling-stone, who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back, been around all around the world and
that's a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright...
[Guitar Solo]
I've been there, done that, I ain't looking that
It's been a long long road
Feels like I've never left, that's how the story goes
It doesn't matter where you are, doesn't matter where you go
If it's a million miles aways or just a mile up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go, who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go home
Taken from
There's only one place that call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling-stone, who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back, been around all around the world and
that's a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright...
R.sambora
Only child
Lonely one
Trying to act like his father’s son
Make him proud through he sometimes fails
Locked up, living in a jail
Help me now
Help me now
God I feel misunderstood
Trust me now
Trust me now
Who I am is good.
Who I used to be ain’t what I am
If you walked inside my shoes
Then you would understand
Who I am - you wonder
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am
Just who I am.
When I lost is when I learned
When the road took a crooked turn
Wore tha face of I just don’t care
That piece of me just disappeared
Help me now
Help me now
Find some hope inside myself
Reaching down
Finding out
Who’s hiding in this shell.
Who I used to be ain’t what I am
If you walked inside my shoes
Then you would understand
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am
Who I am.
Somehow I got to find a mirror
To make the stranger clearer
All I wanna be is who I am.
Reaching down
Finding out
I still feel misunderstood
Trust me now
Trust me now
Who I am is good.
Who I used to be ain’t what I am
If you walked inside my shoes
Then you would understand
Who I am - you wonder
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am
It’s who I am.
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am.
Outside this world keeps turnin' 'round
London Bridge keeps burnin' down
but it'll be all right, oooh
No one hears our silent screams
In this land of broken dreams
but it'll be all right, when she comes
It'll be all right, when she comes
It'll all be tight, when she comes
And when I lie she still believes
She don't ask why, she's there for me
When it get's hard, she's all I need to get by
I hear her voice in a thousand places
I try so hard, still I can't escape it
She's the one, when she comes, yeah
And if the sky come fallin' down,
I never ever even hear a sound
It's true, she's as great a red
as blue skies are blue
Everything's all right, when she comes
Everything's all tight, when she comes
And when I lie she still believes
She don't ask why, she's there for me
When it gets hard, she's all I really need
Everything's all right, when she comes
It'll all be tight, when she comes
When she comes
It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
It's all right, It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
It's all right, It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
I don't care about where you've been
I don't care about anything but today
And baby, you and me
She lives her life behind neon lights
Whispering softly, you fall for her again
Another night, they're all the same
We're living here on borrowed time
So you go your way and I'll go mine
I'm still waiting for someone special
To come and take me away
What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Well baby I'll be giving for free
I'm leaving in the morning and I'll be gone
I took her home through a parking lot
Up to that old forgotten spot
Where all the tough guys used to go
Then I told her I love her, I'd take her away
Follow my dreams get out of this rat trap someday
Come on baby, let's get away
She said, you know I've heard it all before
How youre lifes a revolving door
You think, you're gonna get out
But you're always in and youll never win
What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Well baby I'll be giving for free
I'm leaving in the morning and I'll be gone
What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Well baby I'll be giving for free
Well tonights ours baby, in the morning I'll be gone
What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need

I'm leaving in the morning and I'll be gone
What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Baby I'll be giving for free
Tonights ours baby in the morning I'll be gone
Maybe we're all different
But we're still the same
We all got the blood of Eden running to our veins
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see
You cought between just who you are and who you want to be
If you feel alone and lost and need a friend
Remember every new beginning is some beginning's end
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome to wherever you are
When everybody's in and you're left out
And you feel drowning in a shadow of the dawn
Everyone's a miracle in their own way
Just listen to yourself not what other people say
When it seems you're lost alone and feeling down
Remember everybody's different, just take a look around
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Be who you want to be, be who you are
Everyone's a hero, everyone's a star
When you want to give up and your heart's about to break
Remember that you're perfect, God's make no mistakes
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
(I say welcome) Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far (welcome)
I had enough of staring down at my shoes
Filling my cup with television’s bad news
All of it’s worthless, nothing to hold on to
Kicked out because there’s nothing left but me and you
A little beat up but what you get’s what you see
A bit of a rebel, a little bit of refugee
Waited my whole life away
Been waiting for someone like you to say
Hey, welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine, until you feel alright
Welcome to the good times
I’m always the one on the outside looking inside
Always the bridesmaid, never been the new bride
Sometimes I feel like a canary in a coal mine
It’s hard to breathe but somehow it’s got to stay in flight
Waiting for the dice to roll our way
We’ve been waiting for someone somewhere to say
Hey, welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine line, until you feel alright
Welcome, forget about the hard times
Gonna make the sun shine if it takes all night
We’ll say welcome to the good times
Welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine until you feel alright
Welcome, forget about the hard times
Gonna make the sun shine if it takes us all night
We’ll say welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine until you feel alright, alright
Welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine, until you feel alright
Welcome, welcome to the good times
Today you'll pick up all the pieces
And get on with your life
All I can hope is that you're happy
'Cause today you're someone elses wife
Right now I wish that I could turn back
And beg the hands of time
For the days that I remember (oh baby)
The days when you were mine
And if I never said I love you
It's cause the words got in the way
Now all I do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
I'll bet you looked good at the altar
I'll bet he knew the words to say
And the angels smiled when you walked down the aisle
You both knelt down to pray
As he put his ring on your finger
I know there's just one thing left to say
All I can do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
So Sorry
(solo)
You won't be walking through the door anymore
You won't be sleeping in this bed anymore
Tho' I swear I see your shadow waltz accross my floor
And I don't know if I can take it
Should we ever meet again
Cause I know that we'll be strangers
When he introduces friends
I tried to make it to the church now baby
A broken heart got in the way
All I can do is tell you I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
I really hope you're happy baby
Tho' it's killing me to say
All I can do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed you're wedding day
Sorry I missed you're wedding
I'm sorry I missed you're wedding day
I'm sorry I missed you're wedding day
I'm sorry I missed you're wedding day

HERE'S CAPTAIN CRASH AND THE BEAUTY QUEEN FROM MARS
(sung by tico torres)
Wasted and wounded, it ain’t what the mood did,
I’ve got what I prayed for now
I’ll see you tomorrow, hey frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You’ll go waltzing mathilda with me
I’m an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And I’m tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks english, and everything’s broken, and my stacys are
Soaking wet to go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You’ll go waltzing mathilda with me
Now I lost my saint christopher now that I’ve kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
That the maverick chinaman with his cold-blooded style
And the girls stand by the strip-tease shows, go
Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You’ll go waltzing mathilda with me
Now I don’t want your sympathy, the fugitive says
That the streets ain’t for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,
Want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You’ll go waltzing mathilda with me
It’s a battered old suitcase in a hotel someplace,
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donnas, the perfume is on
It’s an old shirt that’s stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen, the flame
Keepers
Goodnight mathilda, too
And goodnight mathilda, too
Another night in this old town
Sometimes growin up can only bring you down
Sometimes I sit, I wonder
Sometimes I scream as loud as thunder
Little brother dont you know Im a man
They might think Im just a boy
But they dont understand
These city streets, they tell me stories about busted dreams and faded glory
No one seems to understand,
They tell me walk, dont run, the time will find you
Walk, dont run and your heart will guide you to
Walk, dont run, they say growing up it just aint so much fun
I feel like a loaded gun
They say dont run
My mom and dad work every day
Just to keep shoes on our feet they slaved their lives away
Grandpa had to do the same, it took him to an early grave
Call me a rebel, say the boy dont think
Im old enough to fight for my country
I aint old enough for a drink
And Im not a pawn, I cant play their game
But Poppa Im proud just to wear your name
Then he held out his hand, he said I understand
But remember walk, dont run, the time will find you
Walk, dont run and your heart will guide you to
Walk, dont run, just walk, dont run
That was my brother lost in the rubble
That was my sister lost in the crush
That was our mothers, those were our children
That was our fathers, that was each one of us
A million prayers to God above
A million tears make an ocean of
[Chorus:]
One for love
One for truth
One for me, one for you
I found spirit, they couldn't ruin it
I found courage in the smoke and dust
I found faith in the songs you silenced
Deep down it's ringing out in each of us
Yeah... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus:]
One for love
One for truth
One for me, one for you
Where we once were divided, now we stand united
We stand as one... undivided.
How many hands? How many hearts?
How many dreams been torn apart?
Enough, enough... the time has come to rise back as
[Chorus:]
One for love
One for truth
One for me, one for you
Where we once were divided now we stand united
We stand as one... undivided.
Undivided.
Undivided.
One for love
One for truth
One for me, one for you
Where we once were divided, now we stand united
We stand as one... undivided.
R.sambora
She was standing at the station
Small town suitcase in her hand
There were dreams she found inside her
That no one cared to understand
She never talks about her childhood
So much past to leave behind
She’s so scared to go
But still she says goodbye.
When you walk that road
You walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When you only hope
Is to find a home
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
In the great unknown.
Born and raised in poverty
Daddy died when he was young
All the fears that raged inside him
His spirit need to overcome
Each day he tears down the reflection
Of who he used to be
And with a little luck
He’ll rise eventually.
When you walk that road
When you walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When you only hope
Is to find a home
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
The great unknown.
Solo
In the search of our salvation
Relentlessly we climb
Just looking for a reason
In creation’s grand design
If patience is a virtue
Then let us humbly begin
We’ll be here waiting
’til our ship comes sailing in.
When you walk that road
We walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When you only hope
Is to find a home
You’re just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
The great unknown
The great unknown
Don’t want to walk through life
And undiscovered soul.
Searching for the road
Looking for a home
In the great unknown
Don’t want to walk through life
An undiscovered soul
Searching for a home
Looking for a road
In the great unknown
Don’t want to walk through life
An undiscovered soul
Patience, virtue, identify, soul
Yesterdays a memory
Another page in history
You sell yourself on hopes and dreams
That leaves you feeling sideways.
Tripping over my own feet
Trying to walk to my own beat
Another car out on the street trying to find the Highway
Yeah, Are you going my way?
[Chorus]
This is the story of my life
And I write it everyday
I know it isn't black and white
And it's anything but grey
I know that no I'm not alright, but I feel ok cos
Anything can, everything can happen
That's the story of my life
I gonna write the melody
That's gonna make history,
And when I paint my masterpiece I swear I'll show you first
There just ain't a way to see who and why or what will be
Till now is then
It's a mystery, it's a blessing and a curse
Or something worse
[Chorus]
This is the story of my life
And I write it everyday,
And I hope you're by my side when I'm writing the last page
[Chorus x2]
I couldn't sleep
Took a walk down Second Avenue
Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true
One way street and I know where its leading to
There's a 'For Sale' sign on the front door of the city hall
The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall
I could take a hit but I don't want to take the fall
That's just one side of the story
In this two story town
[Chorus:]
It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I want to take my car and drive out of this two story town
It's the same old ship going down
I'm going down, down ,down, down, down
It's a two story town
There's a girl that I sleep with
She's got ecstasy eyes
He promised her roses and American pie
I called her and my demons
And I kissed them both goodbye
Seven days of Monday morning
In a two story town
[Chorus:]
It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round
It's the same old ship going down
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
It's a two story town
One shot to make a move now
The ghosts are calling me out
[Guitar solo ]
And me I'm just one story
In a two story town
But you're never going to find me in the lost and found
[Chorus:]
It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round
It's the same old ship going down
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
It's a two story town
[Chorus 2:]
It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round
I won't give in and I won't back down
I'm going down, down, down, down down
I ain't going down, down, down, down, down
I'm never going down, down, down, down, down
It's a two-story town
Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down,
But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown.
'Cause all you women is low down gamblers,
Cheatin' like I don't know how,
But baby, baby, there's fever in the funk house now.
This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin',
You know you know the duece is still wild.
Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumblin' dice.
Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry,
Don't you see the time flashin' by.
Honey, got no money,
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines.
Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider,
You can be my partner in crime.
But baby, I can't stay,v You got to roll me and call me the tumblin',
Roll me and call me the tumblin' dice.
Oh, my, my, my, I'm the lone crap shooter,
playin' the field ev'ry night.
Baby, can't stay,
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin' (dice),
Roll me and call me the tumblin' (Got to roll me.) dice.
Got to roll me. Got to roll me
TRAVELIN' BAND
(J.C. Fogerty)
737 comin' out of the sky.
Oh! Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride,
I wanna move.
Playin' in a Travelin' Band. Yeah!
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land, tryin' to get a hand,
Playin' in a Travelin' Band.
Take me to the hotel, Baggage gone, oh, well.
Come on, come on, won't you get me to my room,
I wanna move.
Listen to the radio, Talkin' 'bout the last show.
Someone got excited, Had to call the State Militia,
Wanna move.
Oh! WOW!
Here we come again on a Saturday night
Oh with your fussin' and a fightin'
Won't you get me to the rhyme,
I wanna move.
Oh! WOW!
Oh! I'm playin' in a Travelin' Band
Playin' in a Travelin' Band.
Won't you get me, take me hand
Well, I'm playin' in a Travelin' Band,
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land.
Tryin' to get a hand,
Playin' in a Travelin' Band, OH! WOW!
Hey!
In a time, in a place
In a world, they forgot
Lives the heart of me
A part that just won't die
Just a boy, not a man
Sent to war, in a land
They said we'd fight for their freedom
But I felt like a hired hand
Sometimes I have to find my way
Sometimes I have to get away
[Chorus]
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Working hard, for a pass
Got the night, make it last
It was a time to remember
All my life I would never forget
In a bar, breathing smoke
Snorting whiskey, drinking coke
It was a time when no one would die
And there wasn't a care
Sometimes I wish it was that way
Cause sometimes I have to get away
[Chorus]
This guy turns me around and he's pointing up the stairs
I found myself in her doorway but there wasn't anybody there
She walked in the room with nothing on but a red light
And with a smile she got so close to me.
She whispered something 'bout midnight
You know I didn't understand a word she said
But it felt so good
She knew that I didn't have any money
But baby I knew she would...
[Chorus]
We would take no prisoners
'Cause there was nobody giving in
They came walking through my jungle
And met an angel about to sin
I heard a voice from inside of me
When the youth of America cried:
Can you help me, hear me call
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
When you're a part of society
You know, the heart of your innocence dies
When we met with Authority
I looked him right between the eyes
'Cause all we had was our innocence
All we had was our hearts to try to win the fight you tell me...
Can you save me, from it all
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
'Cause I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
Don't let me fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
Can you help me, hear me call
Can you save me, from it all...
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
She can steal the stars and the moon
She can kill you with a wink of an eye
She's not like those other girls who fall in love the very first time.
She's so young, she's old enough for me,
And she's so shy, it's a love that I'm gonna see
This woman is dangerous,
She'll break your heart and keep you runnin' back for more.
This woman is dangerous,
But I'm gonna love her like she's never been in love before.
This woman is dangerous,
I'm just another fool waitin' outside her door.
She knew who were the men and who were the boys,
She could tell you what they want by the price of their toys.
She'd play those game of love, she made a little bit a lot of fun
She started messin' your head up, you're playin' with a loaded gun
This woman is dangerous
She'll break your heart and keep you runnin' back for more.
This woman is dangerous,
And I'm gonna love her like she's never been in love before.
This woman is dangerous,
I'm just another fool waitin' outside her door.
She'll take you, break you, theres magic in her kiss
I don't know how many nights I'll go on like this.
Her touch is warm, her heart is cold, she'll cut you like a knife.
But it don't matter what she is, cause I want her in my life.
This woman is dangerous.
She'll break your heart and keep you runnin' back for more.
This woman is dangerous,
And I'm gonna love her like she's never been in love before.
This woman is dangerous,
I'm just another fool waitin' outside her door.
Love makes us laugh, love makes us cry
We're up and we're down, we don't understand why
But we take it, we're just trying to make it
Sometimes we lose touch with our feelings inside
Put up our walls when we injure our pride
And we break up, only to make up
Easy, love has never been easy
And I've been searching, trying every door
Until I finally found what I was looking for
And it takes what it takes, we all make mistakes
There are so many mountains to climb
But I know that our love will survive
Baby this time
Well we heal from the pain and we learn from the past
The future is ours and now we found it at last
We both know it, can't help but show it
Easy, love has never been easy
And I've been searching, trying every door
Until I finally found what I was looking for
And it takes what it takes, we all make mistakes
There are so many mountains to climb
But I know that our love will survive
Baby this time
There were so many times when the road got rough
Thought that we'd both had enough
But we kept it alive, somehow the love wouldn't die
And it takes what it takes, we all make mistakes
There are so many mountains to climb
But I know that our love will survive
And it takes what it takes, we all make mistakes
There are so many mountains to climb
But I know that our love will survive
Baby this time
I should have seen it coming when roses died
Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes
I should have listened when you said good night
You really meant good bye
Baby, ain't it funny, how you never ever learn to fall
You're really on your knees, when you think you're standing tall
But only fools are 'know-it-alls' and I played that fool for you
I cried and I cried
There were nights that died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song
Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the perfect crime but
We were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade
You and I were the renegades, some things never change
It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it bad for us baby
Now it's so sad that whatever we had, ain't worth saving
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I've cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong, this ain't a love song
If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason that I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song
I cried and I cried
There were nights that I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't no love song
If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason that I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song
If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason that I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song
Yes, I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong - this ain't a love song
Yes, I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong - this ain't a love song
Yes, I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong - this ain't a love song
You can lock up all the doors
Pull up the covers
Turn out the lights
I'll know where you are
It's alright
You can go ahead and hide
You know youcan't keep me out
I'll find my way
I'm here to stay
Even the cops can't save you now
Hey baby Theres nothing you can do
Hey baby It isn't up to you
Chorus:
I am the thief of hearts
Don't hide or try to run
I'll play the part. I'm the thief of hearts
I've come to steal your love
You can hold on to your heart
You ain't gonna win
Go ahead and draw the blinds
I'm still coming in
Hey baby I'm gonna wear you down
hey baby Better listen to me now
Chorus:
I'm the thief of hearts
The shadow on your wall
A whisper in your ear
A footstep in the hall
I'm the thief of hearts
Don't hide or try to run
I'll play the part, I'm the thief of hearts
I'm gonna steal your love
Hey, baby There's nothing you can do
hey, baby You know there ain't no use
Chorus:
I am the thief of hearts
Guilty of the charge
You can throw away the keys
And double up the bars
I am the thief of hearts
Don't hide or try to run
I'll play the part, I'm the thief of hearts
I'm gonna steal your love.
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare, these days
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
Guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the 'wanna be's'
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days - are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left but us these days
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy - he said momma 'I've got to try'
Don't you know that all my heroes died
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away
These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the morning train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have changed
This world keepd turning round and round and round and round
These days
These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the morning train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days - are fast, nothing lasts
There ain't no time to waste
There ain't nobody left to take the blame
There ain't nobody left but us these days
Guess who just got back today,
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away,
Haven't changed, had much to say,
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around,
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown,
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
You know that chick that used to dance a lot,
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got
Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot
And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face,
Man, we just fell about the place,
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill,
Down at Deano's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill,
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song,
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long,
Won't be long 'til summer comes,
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
There's a train out in the distance, destination still unknown
Far away where no one's waiting, so far from home, so far from home
There's a rose outside your window, the first snow is falling down
Like that lonesome whistle blowing
I keep on going, keep on going...
[Chorus:]
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
I'll never give up the fight
I'll go the distance
There's a thread that runs between us pulling 'cross this great divide
It's only there for the believers
Don't stop believing, don't stop believing
[Chorus:]
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
I'll never give up the fight
I'll go the distance, I'll go the distance
There's a neverending story that begins with you and I
Like the rose outside your window
Don't let it die, don't let it die
[Chorus:]
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and my arms are reaching through the night
I'll never give up the fight
I'll go the distance
Guess who just got back today,
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away,
Haven't changed, had much to say,
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around,
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown,
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
You know that chick that used to dance a lot,
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got
Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot
And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face,
Man, we just fell about the place,
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her
* Repeat
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill,
Down at Deano's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill,
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song,
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long,
Won't be long 'til summer comes,
Now that the boys are here again
* Repeat
(sambora, foster)
The lightning flashed as angels
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds
That answer scared me into tears
And all the grownups laughed out loud
Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens
There’s a world in every drop of rain
Embracing oceans sweep us home again
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
They say for every living thing
There’s a guide up in the sky
That helps you pass from world to world
So you never really die
Then with scythe and cloak
Death comes waltzing to your side
As the visions pass you ask
If there was meaning to your life
As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle
As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle
Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain
All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, and you shall find another life
And now my life is like a storm
Growing stronger every day
Like the unrelenting wind
That comes to blow our lives away
So I live each day like I know it’s my last
If there is no future there must be no past
Now I know the answers never meant a thing
And with each instant that I breathe
I feel the joy that life can bring
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
The weekend comes to this town
Seven days too soon
For the ones who have to make up
What we break up of their rules
Well I saw Captain Kidd on Sunset
Tell his boys they're in command
While Chino danced a tango
With a broomstick in his hand
He said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side
[Chorus:]
Let it rock, let it go
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock, let it go
With the night you're on the loose
You got to let it rock
We go down to the Broadway
Where everybody goes
To get on their rockin' horse
And blast that radio
Well I saw Roxie on the table
Her girlfriend down below
They'll give it to the king of swing
Before it's time to go
They said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side
[Chorus]
It's hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I
[Chorus:]
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky's a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies
[Chorus:]
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me
[Solo]
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I
[Chorus:]
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
When I couldn't fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Another lonely night, on the telephone we talk
When will the lightening strike, the thundering roar
Pretending that you miss the touch of my caress
But our lips never met, cause one kiss could never last
Locked up inside your room
You play your lover's tunes
You dance all night, but you run out of moves
You're so close but out of reach
Your voice is haunting me
You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
You're talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep
You play so hard to get
I know you'll never change your ways
You make the minutes seem like hours
The hours seem like days
You know I'll come when you whisper
I'll run when you call
And when I'm calling out to you
Oh baby, I got no replies at all
This hide and seek were playing
Is such a vicious game
But it dont matter what you say
I love you anyway
Cause you've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
You're talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep
You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep
You've been talking in your sleep again
Talking in your sleep
You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
Talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep
You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
Talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep
I've been away so long I hardly knew the place
Its been too long since I've been gone
Just like a rolling stone I aint got no home
But my boys are back in town
It's been two long years since I've been on the run
From lawyers lovers monies and a lawmans son
You thought it was the last that you heard of me
But you better back up to catch up with me
Cause I'm livin in the fast lane
Speedin like a speed train
Just before I fall, just before I fall off the track
Taking it back
Im taking it back
Taking it back
You took it away took it away
All I can say is we're taking it back
Ive been away so long its good to see your face
Barkeep wont you buy me a round?
We'll raise a glass to the good times past
Then we'll dance this damn place down
Taking it back(Repeat 3x)
He says he's your friend, but you don't see him
He says that he's so damn busy, but he don't do nothing at all
You get him on the phone, he was just gonna call you
Says he's been thinking about old times, and looking at your picture on the wall
He's stringin' you the same old lines, that he puts everyone through
They're only lies, intentions just won't do
For a time he feels no wrong, 'till he finds out we've caught on
He's stringin' a line, he's stringin' a line
So you try to forget, but that ain't so easy
'Cause if you've got one small doubt, there was never anything there
You dangle on a line, a captive fool
Well you know he'll try again, and it will just be the same as last time
He's stringin' you the same old lines, that he puts everyone through
They're only lies, intentions just won't do
For a time he feels no wrong, 'till he finds we've all caught on
He's stringin' a line, he's stringin' a line
He's stringin' you the same old lines, that he puts everyone through
They're only lies, intentions just won't do
For a time he feels no wrong, 'till he finds out we've caught on
He's stringin' a line, he's stringin' a line
(sambora, bryan)
Hey mister can you tell me
What this world’s about
It might just help me out
I used to be a dreamer
But my dreams have burned
You know how luck can turn
Sometimes it’s hard to find a friendly face
Feel like a stranger to the human race
It’s such a lonely, lonely place
I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin’
But you can’t hear a sound
’cause midnight rain is comin’ down
I’m just a stranger, a stranger in this town
Everybody loves a winner
Till the winners lose
And then it’s front page news
Nobody loves a loser
When you’re down and out
You know there ain’t no doubt
I’m just a victim of circumstance
Please mister give me a helping hand
Brother won’t you understand
I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin’
But you can’t hear a sound
’cause midnight rain is comin’ down
I’m just a stranger, a stranger in this town
I’m just a victim of circumstance
Please mister give me a helping hand
Brother won’t you understand
I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin’
But you can’t hear a sound
’cause midnight rain is comin’ down
I’m just a stranger, a stranger in this town
I mean no danger, I’m a stranger, I’m a stranger
I’m a stranger in this town...
I mean no danger, I’m a stranger...
I’m just a stranger in this town
So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more that just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you want to know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun
In this world tonight
And when you spit, you better mean it
You got to make 'em all believe it
If you're gonna be the one
Stick to your gun
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
So you want to be the big time
Some people have to drag you down
There's no living in the backseat
If you're gonna drive through town
And when you pray for independence
Boy, you better stand your ground
You got to give it all you got now
Or you might get shot down
Fight hard until the battle is won
Stick to your gun
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
But only if you have to
[Solo]
Well, you know that I been through it
I got the scars to prove it
Fight hard and the Battle is yours
Stick to your gun
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
But stick to your guns
This Ain't A Love Song
Bon Jovi
Album: These Days
I should have seen it coming when the roses died
I should have seen the end
Of Summer in your eyes
I should have listened when you said good night
You really meant good-bye
Baby, ain't it funny
How we never ever learn to fall
You're really on your knees
You think you're standing tall
But only fools are know-it-alls
Yeah, I played that fool for you
2-I cried and I cried
There were nights that I died for you, baby
I tried and I tried
To deny that your love drove me crazy
1-If the love that I got for you's gone
If the river I cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yes, I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
I thought you and me would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the perfect crime
But we were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
Clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade
Baby, you and I we were renegades
Well, some things never change
It made me so mad
'Cause I wanted it bad for us, baby
Now, it's so sad that whatever we had
Ain't worth saving
(rpt 1, 2, 1)
If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong, well I'm wrong
This ain't a love song...
Source: CC from Leterman's LATE SHOW (July 26)
You think you know me just because you know my name
You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
But does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truth
You need somebody, somebody to hold onto
But this ain't the movies, and we ain't heroes
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but a heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
I said that I want you, but when we woke up one of us was crying
You rolled over and all you said was, 'Man, I think I'm dying'
Our song is over, this band of gold has been feeling like a noose
You place your bets 'cause no one thinks they'll lose
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window
The light of love can blind you 'til you cover up your eyes
And you try to find the reason not to say good bye
It's the curse of every sailor standing on dry land
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
[Guitar solo]
The night is fading like my old tattoo
A heart and a dagger that says 'Forever'
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
I'm getting tired of talkin', even I don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
Bon Jovi Something To Believe In lyrics
I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too
I told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new
I lost all trust in my friends
I watched my heart turn to stone
I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone
Tonight I'll dust myself off
Tonight I'll suck my gut in
I'll face the night and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in
And I had lost touch with reason
I watched life criticize the truth
Been waiting for a miracle
I know you have too
Though I know I won't win
I'll take this one on the chin
We'll raise a toast and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in
If I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe the Pope
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
In a world that gives you nothing
We need something to believe in
If I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe the Pope
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
In a world that gives you nothing
We need something to believe in
What time is it baby, is it that time again
When snow will be falling, friends will be calling
You know it's time when, there'll be carolers singing Silent Night
I love when they sing, the feeling it brings
It's warm as a fire is bright
Soon there'll be toys for good girls and boys
And reindeer are heading our way
Yes, and Santa will come down the chimney above
There's one thing I wanted to say
CHORUS 1
I wish every day could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like Christmas, I do
I saw a child sit with old Mr. Clause,
Looked him in the eye and he asked old Santa what peace on earth was
Now the old man grew cautious, on how he would say
That it's the greatest gift what you could give, every day
REPEAT CHORUS 1
Now the mistle-toes and the house of Lords
All the world seems at ease tonight
And all that I ask when these precious moments pass
Is why can't every day be so bright
REPEAT CHORUS 1
Honest I do, yes I do now
Very merry Christmas
Happiness, it's been no friend to me
But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be
Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy
But I lost my faith when I hit reality
I don't need no Guru to tell me what to do
When your feeling like a headline on
Yesterday's news
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when
I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right,
Something like you
Loneliness has found a home in me
My suitcase and guitar are my only family
I've tried to need someone, like they needed me
I opened up my heart, but all I did was bleed
I don't need no lover, just to get screwed
They don't make a bandage, that's going to cover my bruise
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when
I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right,
Something like you
Pull me under (Help I'm falling)
Run through my veins (Night is calling)
To a place (Feels like I'm flying)
Where I feel no pain (Christ I'm dying)
Be the pillow under my head
Cover me when I'm in your bed
Take me higher than I've ever been
Take me down and back again
Come to me, be my disguise
Open your coat, let me crawl inside
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when
I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right,
Something like you
Hey, man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night
Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
I just can't hold a job, where do I belong
I'm sleeping in my car, my dreams move on
My name is Billy Jean, my love was bought and sold
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went, took my innocence away
The street life aint much better, but at least I get paid
And Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey, man gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Now I can't say my name, and tell you where I am
I want to roll myself away, don't know if I can
I wish that I could be in some other time and place
With someone elses soul, someone elses face
Oh, Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey, man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey, man gotta live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Saturday night Here we go
Some day I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet, I'll be doin' alright
It may not be tomorrow baby, that's OK
I ain't goin' down, gonna find a way, hey hey hey
Hey man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey, man, gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Saturday night , all right, all right
Saturday night
You can read it in the papers
In some places it comes in thirty-two flavors
But you wouldn't tell no one
Your favorite if you could
From the White House to the alleys
From the President down to Long Tall Sally
Can't live with it but
You'll die without it - yes you would
Senorita's in the kitchen
She's a fistful of dynamite
You call 911 but you
Can't stop the fun tonite, it's alright
[Chorus:]
You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's something that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
Because love is a social disease
Where you look you can find it
Try to run but you're always behind it
So you play hide and seek like a blind kid
Till you're caught - yeah you're caught
So you'll say that you had some
But they took it and held it for ransom
Were they tall, dark, skinny or
Handsome - you won't talk
So you telephone your doctor
Just to see what pill to take
You know there's no prescription
Gonna wipe this one away
[Chorus]
So full of high grade octane
She could run the bullet train on 38 double d's
Now you know for sure, you know the cure
To make a blind man see
After the smoke clears
When it's down to you and I
When the sun appears
And there's nothing left but goodbyes
We'll just turn and walk away
How could we let it end like this
Just turn and walk away
Should we seal it with a kiss
It's too late
Now you're out and on the run
It's too late
Held up in love without a gun
[Chorus]
Silent night
We hold up our candle light
Silent night
The night our love died
No words to say
And we're both too tired to fight
Just hold me close and don't let go...
It was all so simple when
You were to be queen and I'd be your king
I guess those dreams got lost
Cause baby you're still you and I'm still me
Now letting go
It's always the hardest part to fight
When we both know
We're just two more victims of the night
It's too late
Too late to wonder why
Much too late
To save a love that's died.
[Chorus]
Just hold me close and don't let me go
After the smoke cleared
It was down to you and I
When the sun appeared
There was nothing left but goodbyes...
Silent night
Would you be content to see me crying
After all those little games you put me through
After all I've done for you you're lying
Wouldn't it be nice to tell the truth
Didn't somebody somewhere say
You're gonna take a fall
I gave you everything
Now here's the curtain call
[Chorus:]
Shot through the heart as I lay there alone
In the dark through the heart
It's all part of this game that we call love
Now you've come back here to say you're sorry
But I don't know who you're talking to
It could be the man I used to be, girl
But I've grown up and now I'm over you
Standing there just a live wire
With nowhere left to turn
You were gonna set the world on fire
When will you ever learn?
[Chorus]
Didn't somebody somewhere say
You're gonna take a fall
I gave you everything
Now here's the curtain call
And I'm shot...
Baby does what baby please
And baby must have what she sees
But not this time, the tables turned
Baby, you just got burned
[Chorus]
She won't let me buy her jewelry
She don't want things that she can keep
She wears wildflowers in her hair
Then throws them in the sea
She's the beginning and the end of me
[Chorus:]
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
I still don't know what to call her
She says that words don't mean a thing
She changes her name every day
And lies all the time
I feel lucky to call her mine
[Chorus:]
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
She's anything in the world
That you cannot explain
But when she throws me a smile
It's fire in the rain
[Chorus:]
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
'Cause she's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
She's a mystery
There's no defense
It's innocence
But she won't let you see
'Cause she's a mystery
What more can I do, there's nothing I haven't tried
Still it's so hard for her to notice
I've tried hard to be straight
There's nothing left I can say
If only she would look my way
[Chorus:]
She don't know me, she don't know
She don't see me, she don't care
She can't hear me, can't hear
Can not help me, she don't want
She don't want me like I want her
Like I wan't her got to tell her
Got to tell her that I love her
That I love her
She doesn't even know my name
I dream of when she'll be mine
I dream of crossing that line
And holding her so tender
Dreaming it could come true
So many things I would do
If only you'd give me a chance
[Repeat chorus]
Será que la canción llegó hasta el sol
Luis Alberto Spinetta
Si el camino surge de la nada,
será que mi canción ,
llego hasta el sol.
Si algo te sacude sin sentido
será que la canción ,
llego hasta el sol.
La tristeza se va como una luz,
todo es armonía a mi alrededor,
y esta bien.
Alguien va subiendo la colina,
será que la canción,
llego hasta el sol,
Y otro va muy loco,
hundido en su mente,
será que la canción,
llego hasta el sol.
Una brisa volara en el amanecer
y un extraño tiempo ,
nos envolverá por fin.
Esta noche se oirá
dentro de tu piel,
no hay ningún momento ,
que se pueda comparar al amor.
Si se escucha el eco,
si el viento dice adiós,
será que la canción,
llego hasta el sol.
Riding high, then shot down
I load my guns to fire another round
I look deep into your eyes
And can't run there's nowhere left to hide
Don't stop, no it's much too late
When the night comes I can't wait
Oh I live, love to loose control
It makes me crazy I want to let you know
[Chorus:]
Oh, no, I don't want to fall
Oh, oh, can't you hear me calling
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I'm the one
When I'm next to you -- next to you.
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me.
I got to get to you, get to you, get to you.
There's a thrill, in the chase
We won't lose when we meet face to lace.
Love, games a means without and end.
I go down but I'll be back again
Thru' the night with no retreat
When you're with me in my sleep.
[Chorus]
I can see you
I feel you every night
I need you
But I'm only dreaming
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I'm the one
When I'm next to you -- next to you.
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me.
I just can't believe
It was all a lie
No man in the moon
Just a big light in the sky
I hear Disneyland
Might lose Mickey Mouse
In some giant hostile corporate shake-up
Tell me it's a nightmare
Please wake me up
(Say it isn't so)
I found a book of matches
From someplace we've never been
How come you hang the phone up
The minute I walk in
Last night I had this dream
That I was losing you
I woke up in a cold sweat shaking
Rescue me my heart is breaking
Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Say it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say everything's all right (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so
Superman don't fly
They did it all with strings
Elvis Presley died
They deep fried the king
Like some tacky cheesy bathing beauty
Dancing on the beach in a bad b-movie
Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Say it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say everything's all right (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on me)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on you)
Get me through the night (we'll make it through)
Make everything all right (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so...
Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Say it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say everything's all right (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on me)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on you)
Get me through the night (we'll make it through)
Make everything all right (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so
I never went to college
I don't have a degree
Let's say I went to night school
I learned all I know on the streets
I wasn't born a rich man
I ain't got no pedigree
The sweat on this old collar
That's my Ph.D.
It comes down to this
I wouldn't exist
Without you it ain't worth the grind
I'd fight for one kiss
On a night like this
You make me feel I could fly, like
[Chorus:]
I could save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Maybe I could save the world
I got to confess
Sometimes I'm a mess
And sometimes I step out of line
Like this old tattoo
I ain't shiny or new
With you by my side nothing matters
[Chorus:]
I can save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Maybe I can save the world
[Guitar solo ]
They can say it's blind love
But it's a fool who don't believe
That I'd fly all the way to the moon
Just to walk you down your street
[Chorus:]
I can save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Our love is even stronger
Than god hoped it could be
Baby, all it takes is
Just a little faith in me
To feel like
I can save the world
I can save the world
Dear Lord, Jesus, Buddah, Allah or can I just call you Joe
I've got a lot of things to tell you and some things I gotta know
I'm tired of hearing talk about this world's about to end
If we can die together then can't we all be friends
I gotta know
Hey, I gotta know
So Mister can you tell me, gotta know
Baby can you tell me, gotta know
Whoa oh oh I gotta know
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I gotta know
Baby can you help me, gotta know
I gotta know
Did you ever feel like you were drowning,
did you ever feel betrayed by a kiss?
Did you ever feel like you needed somebody,
would you feel alone in a world like this?
Did you ever feel like you needed shelter,
did you ever laugh when you wanted to cry?
Did you ever dream about evolution,
don't you ever feel like your living a lie?
Oh, Whoa, too many children grow up blind to the truth.
I say, Oh Oh, Oh, Oh,
say a prayer for me,
I'll save a prayer for you.
Did you ever feel like you were helpless,
did you ever feel like an open wound?
Did you ever feel that there ain't no forgiveness,
did you ever feel that close to the.truth.
Oh Whoa, the world closed their eyes on the blinding truth.
I say, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh , say a prayer for me,
and I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer for you, I'll save a prayer for you,
I'll save a prayer.... for you, for you, for you.
I'll save a prayer.
Did you ever feel like you need shelter,
did you ever feel like you lived through the flood?
Did you ever feel a lust for survival, did you ever feel, feel, feel?
The world keeps turning.
Rooms still burning.
There's too many hearts that haven't found a home.
This train's on the tracks and the world's on my back,
save a prayer for me and I'll save one for you.
No one to blame , but it's hard to explain,
why too many soul's are feeling so alone.
You've got to hold on if it's all you can do.
Save a prayer for me, I'll save a prayer for you.
I'll save a prayer for you, I'll save a prayer for you,
I'll Save a prayer....
for you, for you, for you.
They say that no man is an island
And good things come to those who wait
But the things I hear are there just to remind me
Every dog will have his day
The spirits, they intoxicate me
I watched them infiltrate my soul
They try to say it's too late for me
Tell my guns I'm coming home
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Tell my maker he can wait
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven
Heading back to Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe
Once I was promised absolution
There's only one solution for my sins
You gotta face your ghosts and know with no illusions
That only one of you is going home again
And I blame this world for making a good man evil
It's this world that can drive a good man mad
And it's this world that turns a killer into a hero
Well I blame this world for making a good man bad
Now I ain't getting into heaven if the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe
Lord have mercy
[Guitar solo]
So I save a prayer when I need it most
To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
And sign it from a sinner with no name
When I meet my maker
Will he close the book on the hearts I broke and the lives I took ?
Will he walk away 'cause my soul's too late to save ?
Now I ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe
She was a little bit older
I was a little bit shy
But Iknew how to kiss
Her lips with mine
Whiskey breath and cigarettes
There's smell perfume and that's as good as it gets
She taught me how to dance in a Spanish town
She got a kick out of watching me spin round and round
Stars shawn bright and the moon hung low
Willie Digger singing on the radio
Well it's a sad song night
With a long ago girl running through my mind
It's a sad song night
Ain't nothing stops time like a sad song night
Sad song night
She came in the room, wild flowers in her hair
She lit the way with a hundred candles up the stairs
We made love in a Chinese lantern room
Ain't it a bitch it had to end so soon
Well it's a sad song night
With a long ago girl running through my mind
It's a sad song night
Ain't nothing stops time like a sad song
It's a sad song night
With a long ago girl running through my mind
Another sad song night
Ain't nothing stops time like a sad song night
Well I never went back to the Spanish town
Hung up my dancing shows
And the world kept on spinning round and round
I think of her when they play that song
Sometimes I even sing along...
Well it's a sad song night
With a long ago girl running through my mind
It's a sad song night
Ain't nothing stops time like a sad song
It's a sad song night
With a long ago girl running through my mind
Another sad song night
Ain't nothing stops time like a sad song
It's a sad song night
It's a sad song night
Sad song night
Sad song night
PRAYER 94
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby it's okay, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
Chorus
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Chorus
On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes
All your life all you've asked when's your Daddy gonna talk to you
You were living in another world tryin' to get your message through.
No one heard a single word you said.
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your heart.
[Chorus:]
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say.
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
A different line every night guaranteed to blow your mind
See you out on the streets, call me for a wild time
So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you
You know she likes the lights at nights on the neon Broadway signs
She don't really mind, it's only love she hoped to find
[Repeat chorus]
No one heard a single word she said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your heart
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she was the night away
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she was the night away
Bet the black comes in red, crimes of passion rule my head
I need you, you want him, dressed to kill we live in sin
I know the game you play, I know it well
You just keep on playin' when all the bets are down
[Chorus:]
Roulette you're goin' round in a spin,
Caught up in a game you just can't win
Roulette, you're just a fantasy
It's everything that you want it to be
Play the numbers one by one, fire the shot and the damage is done
Restless lovers pay the price, cheating hearts don't think twice
When you make the rules no one can slow you down
You just keep 'em waiting when you're on the prowl
[Repeat chorus x 2]
Backdoor runner got away this time
Leaves her mark at the scene of the crime
Nothing matters, no faces, no names
You're just a number, it's all the same
You just love to play the game
I know the game you play, I know it well
You just keep on playin' when all the bets are down
[Repeat chorus x 2]
(sambora, j bon jovi, child, warren)
Rosie watch doin’ in this low class joint
Dancin’ in the dark all day
You used to be the darlin’
Of your high school scene
Now you put your love on display
Sweaty hands hand you up a dollar bill
Hungry eyes never seem to get their fill
I used to watch you walkin’ down the hall
Rosie do you see me
When you hear them call your name
Rosie, rosie I wanna take you away
Rosie, rosie I’m gonna make you mine someday
Rosie, I went with you for that rose tattoo
You promised no one else would see
I used to wait and drive you home from dancin’ school
Remember when you danced just for me
Our love was deeper then the night was long
But things just didn’t work out like our favorite song
I used to watch you walkin’ down the hall
Rosie do you see me
When you hear them call your name
Rosie, rosie I wanna take you away
Rosie, rosie I’m gonna make you mine someday
Do you remember
Our love was deeper then the night was long
But things just didn’t work out like our favorite song
I used to watch you walkin’ down the hall
Rosie do you see me
When you hear them call your name
Rosie, rosie I wanna take you away
Rosie, rosie I’m gonna make you mine someday
Rosie, rosie I wanna take you away
Rosie, rosie I wanna take you away
There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warming sign on the road ahead
There's lot of people sayin' we'd better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.
There's colors on the street

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit
He hates her life and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Didn't want to sayit in this way
I didn't want to see the day I'd say these words to you
I did'nt want have to explain
Sometimes heros have to lose
It's killing me to see you cry
Would it make it any better if I told you I did it all for you
It was just another roll of the dice
Just another star in the sky
Try to touch it but i couldn't fly
Chorus:
Everybody knows the promise of the river
Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes
Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water
But there's nothing anybody can do
Rivers run dry
Gonna have to go away
I always told you that a man has got to face his own mistakes
Sometimes you get a lucky break
Sometimes your winning streak will stay
Sometimes you got to pay
Chorus
Oh, I remember when the rivers ran high
Oh, we can make it to the other side
Make it to the other side
Everybody knows the promise of the river
Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes
Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water
But there's nothing anybody can do
Oh, there's nothing anybody can do
There's nothing anybody can do
When the rivers run dry
When the rivers run dry
(sambora)
Let me tell you a story
About body and blood
There’s a fire below
Deep in the river of love
Hey pretty mama I’m just trying to be polite
I wanna make you feel the rhythm of the river tonight
And when the story is over
You’ll be satisfied
Honey, honey, honey don’t you understand
To make you feel like a woman
Makes me feel like a man
Let me take you down to the river of love
Baby pull me under
Make me drown in your flood
Baptize my body in your river of love
Wontcha take me down
I wanna drown
In your river of love
If you’re a little lovesick
Woman I got the cure
Let me be your preacher
And you can be my whore
I feel your heart pumpin honey don’t say not
I wanna dive in your river
Take you down real slow
And then your body will quiver
And the river will flow
Honey, honey, honey don’t you understand
To make you feel like a woman
Makes me feel like a man
Let me take you down to the river of love
Baby pull me under
Make me drown in your flood
Baptize my body in your river of love
Wontcha take me down
I wanna drown
In your river of love
Down, down, down let me take ya
Down, down, down I wanna take ya
Let me take you down to the river of love
Baby pull me under
Make me drown in your flood
Baptize my body in your river of love
Wontcha take me down
I wanna drown
In our rive of love
A friend of a friend needs a favor
No questions asked, there's not much more to say
Me and the wife, we need the money
We've got four kids all hungry, one on the way
Slip these sweat socks in your shirt and pray they think your packin'
Be sure to keep your head down, don't look 'em in the eye
And don't get fancy, Ricky, we ain't Jimmy Cagney
Look at me, let's do the job and let's get home tonight
[Chorus:]
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
We picked a helluva of a night, from the shore I see the skyline
In a couple of hours from now Rick, we're gonna get out of this life
We'll stop for smokes, I brought a six pack, we'll stop at lookers on the way back
Hell, we'll laugh this off, keep your fingers crossed that all goes well tonight
[Chorus:]
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
We'll make the grade, they'll know our names, I need a friend to drive here
Wear my necklace of St. Christopher and talk to him while I go inside
I'll take that suitcase, get the cash and we'll be gone before you know
Wait until we tell the girls we're moving down to the Gulf of Mexico...
[Guitar Solo]
A friend of a friend needed a favor
Life was just what happened while we were busy making plans
We never saw nothing, there was a run-in
.9 millimeter steel was coming for the windshield of that Oldsmobile
As the cop said, 'Show your hands!'
[Chorus:]
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
Ride cowboy ride.
Through the back door to heaven.
To the other side.
I wanna know the danger of a kiss.
At midnight.
Ride, cowboy, ride.
Yeah, I learn my lesson.
In the story of the trial.
So I made my confession.
In this cheaper motel.
Like could try me pleasant.
But ain't got the money.
'N ain't got the town.
Ride, cowboy, ride.
Through the back door to heaven to the other side.
I wanna know the danger of a kiss.
At midnight. Ride cowboy ride.
So you want to be a cowboy.
Ride cowboy, ride.
Baby, come on.
Ride, ride, ride.
(sambora, bryan)
Voodoo woman
I’ll see you in my dreams
Gipsy woman
Down on lonely street
Gipsy was a friend of mine
In a sacred dream
Voodoo woman magic child
In time you will believe
Every time we say goodbye
Our love will rest in peace
After we make love tonight
Our love shall rest in peace
So say a prayer and close your eyes
Come lay your body down to sleep
After we make love tonight
Our love shall rest in peace
I wish that life was like it is in the movies
'Cause the hero always gets his way
No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road
At the end he´s got a smile on his face
But when they threw me out to the lions
No one saved me as I fell from your grace
And no one wrote me new lines
For what I said wrong
What I did wrong I could not erase
This is real life
This is real love
This is real pain
That much I'm sure of
These are real tears
These are real fears inside
That I can't hide
I wish that I could be a white knight in armour
With an army just to bring you back home
But I'll admit I'm scared of dialing your number
Someone else is gonna answer the phone
Why can't it be like it is on TV
When the orchestra plays and you come back to me
This is real life
This is real love
This is real pain
That much I'm sure of
These are real tears
These are real fears inside
I can't hide
This is real life
This is real love
These are real wounds I'm bleeding from
And I realize this is real
I always thought that our love
Was a story book tale
God knows that I'd never dream
In the end it could fail
'Cause this is real life
This is real love
This is real pain
That much I'm sure of
These are real tears
These are real fears inside
That I can't hide
This is real life
This is real love
These are real wounds I´m bleeding from
And I realize this is real
You - you got a nasty reputation
We're in a sticky situation - it's down to me and you
So tell me - is it true ... they say there ain't nobody better
Well now that we're together
Show me what you can do
You're under the gun
Out on the run
Gonna set the night on fire
You're out on the run
Under the gun
And playin' to win
Chorus:
Raise your hands
When you want to let a feeling show
Raise your hands
From New York to Chicago
Raise your hands
From New Jersey to Tokyo
Raise your hands
I - I've been out on the front line
Where you'll go down if you waste time
They'll walk all over you
But I - I ain't here looking for surrender
I'll raise the flag if you'll defend her
It's up to you
You're under the gun
Out on the run
Gonna set the night on fire
You're out on the run
Under the gun
And playin' to win
Chorus
Tonight the moon's as pretty as a brand new rose
And nosey stars, they seem to know where everybody goes
As poets reach for words with broken motel pens
Here's something to hold on to 'til I come home again
Out here the days they don't have names they've got numbers
And the nights just seem to fade into each other
Jilted lovers are like fireflies, each one with a spark
Trying to fill the hole where once there was a heart
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Following my headlights down the highway in the dark
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
In care of wherever you are
Postcards from the wasteland
Now before the summer sun gets chased away
And all of our tomorrows turn to yesterdays
I'm going to build you that castle
I'm going to write you that song
I've got to find the words to say
Until I hold you in my arms
I'm sending postcard from the wasteland
Following my headlights down the highway in the dark
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
In care of wherever you are
Postcards from the wasteland
Tonight I'll meet you in my dreams
See you soon
Love,
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Following my headlights down the highway in the dark
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Following my headlights down the highway in the dark
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Following my headlights down this highway in the dark
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
In care of wherever you are
Bells will be ringing the sad, sad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone (my baby's gone) I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas (please come home)
Please come home for Christmas (please come home)
If not for Christmas by New Year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above (yes they do)
This is Christmas, Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love
So won't you tell me, you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year (Christmas and New Year's)
Will find you at home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
I'll be happy (happy) Christmas once again
It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
Never had a chance to see him, no
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Mama just hung her head and said
Chorus
"Papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone" (repeat)
Hey, Mama, is it true what they say
That Papa never worked a day in his life
Some bad talk going around sayin'
Papa had there outside children
And another wife
That ain't right
Heard some talk about Papa and his storefront
Preachin'
Talkin' about saving souls and all the time
Leaching
And dealing in dirt
Stealin' in the name of the Lord
But Mama she just said
Chorus
Say, I heard my papa was a jack of all trades
Is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow or steal just
To pay his bills.
Hey, Mama, folks say Papa was never much on thinkin´
Spent most of his time chansin' women and drinkin´
But Mother, I´m depending on you to tell me the
Truth
But my mama she just said
Chorus(2x)
A loaded gun needs no alibis
Out on the street where the truth's a lie
Wasted blood that I left behind
Broken hearts leave a young man blind
I need protection on the underground
I'm going down, down, down, down, down...
Out of bounds, you can cross that line
Out of bounds is out of time
Out of bounds is where I'll be
I can't hold on but I can't break free
I'm going down, down, down, down, down...
Out of bounds
Out of bounds
You're asking why but who's to say
The things you've done haven't gone away
Nowhere to run, no one to blame
I'm just a puppet in a bad man's game
I need protection on the underground
I'm going down, down, down, down, down...
Out of bounds, you can cross that line
Out of bounds is out of time
Out of bounds is where I'll be
I can't hold on but I can't break free
I'm going down, down, down, down, down...
Out of bounds
Out of bounds
So say a prayer for the innocent
It's the innocent who believe
You can't forgive what you can't forget
When that innocent man was me
Out of bounds, you can cross that line
Out of bounds is out of time
Out of bounds is where I'll be
I can't hold on but I can't break free
I'm going down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down...
Out of bounds
Out of bounds
Out of bounds
Out of bounds
Out of bounds
Out of bounds
Out of bounds
Out of bounds
Out of bounds...
(sambora, foster, morolda)
All alone in the dark
No walls no windows
Trying hard to define
Heaven from hell
Standing out in the rain
With just one shadow
Nothing to see or believe
Beyond myself
See my life going by
Each moment I am alive
I keep reaching out, holding on, hoping
Somewhere in my life
There’s one light burning
I feel it like my heart beating inside
Somewhere in my life
There’s one light burning
All alone with my fears
No words are spoken
A story yet to be told
Locked in my mind
Hope is somewhere ahead
Shining brightly
But the past is always following close behind
See my life going by, each moment I am alive
I keep reaching out, holding on, hoping
Somewhere in my life
There’s one light burning
I feel it like my heart beating inside
Somewhere in my life
There’s one light burning
Somewhere in my life
There’s one light burning
I feel it like my heart beating inside
Somewhere in my life
There’s one light burning
Leading the way, leading the way
You say you've been used before
Whole lot of love then it's out the door
And you swore you'd be used again no more, no more
Then you got on your feet again
It came to you like a long lost friend
Now they say you're wearing a bulletproof heart
Well I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Baby believe that I would never hurt you
Baby believe, cause my love will not desert you
Baby believe you know you got me begging and crying
I'm down on my knees
Open your heart and baby love again
Cause I won't let them take your love from me
You know that I've been hurt too
It's just your heart turns black and blue
There ain't no use in talking about it
You know all there is to say
I wanna love you girl
I wanna show you my world
Stop hiding the key to your heart
Baby let me in, let me in
Can't you see, Im a bandaged refugee
Can't you see, I need you girl to comfort me
Can't you see, oh, of all the tears that you cry
Close your eyes
Open your heart, and baby love again
Cause I won't let them take your love from me
Open your heart, and baby love again
I won't let them take your love from me
Can't you see, Im a bandaged refugee
Can't you see, I need you girl to comfort me
Can't you see, oh, of all the tears that you cry
Close your eyes
Open your heart (I want to love you girl)
You made me love again (I want to show you my world)
I won't let them take your love from me
Open your heart (I want to love you girl)
And baby love again (I want to show you my world)
I won't let them take your love
I won't let them take your love
I won't let them take your love from me
I saw you coming from a mile away
Trying to hide behind that pretty face
Bet my last dollar baby you been bruised
Poor little heart all black 'n' blue
Last thing you need's another pickup line
You must have heard them all a thousand times
God only knows what you been through
Believe me I been broken too
It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away
I've been around that block a time or two
[Chorus:]
Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth
Please don't say my name, give this heart a break
I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late
I'll leave on the light
These arms are open all night
I got your taste in the back of my mouth
I want to reach in and pull it out
And I'd be lying if I didn't say
When you're this close I'm afraid
Of the way I'll feel if I touch your hair
The way I'll miss you when you're not there
And that I'll see you when I close my eyes
It's too late, I've crossed that line
It breaks, it aches, it takes your breath away
I'll still be around come closing time
[Chorus:]
Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can only tell the truth
Please don't say my name, give this heart a break
I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late
I'll leave on the light
These arms are open all night
[Guitar solo]
It's 2 am, it's last call, baby. The barkeep's gone, I'll walk you home now
Save me, baby
[Chorus:]
Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can only tell the truth
Please don't make me beg, give this heart a break
I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late
I'll leave on the light
These arms are open all night
If you're ugly, I'm ugly too
In your eyes the sky's a different blue
If you could see yourself like others do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you, Yeah
And I wish I was a camera sometimes
So I could take your picture with my mind
I'd put it in a frame for you to see
How beautiful you really are to me
Ugly, Ugly, all of us
Just feel like that somedays
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
When you feel U.G.L.Y
And that's Ugly
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah. Yeah, Yeah
Ugly, Ugly, all of us
Just feel like that somedays
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
When you feel U.G.L.Y
And that's Ugly, Ugly, all of us
Just feel like that somedays
Ain't no cure that you can buy
When you feel U.G.L.Y
And that's Ugly
So if you're ugly, I'm ugly too
If you're a nut then I must be a screw
If you could see yourself the way I do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you
Yeah,
I wish I was as beautiful as you
