CHORUS

Girls on fire boys on fire

Out of control
Out of control
Darkness darkness ";I'm a specialist in

He said ";You better get with it";
She said ";----------- With what?";
He said ";I'm not a Communist";
She said ";You better get with it";
He said ";I am not out of control";
I tried to warn you I tried to
warn you
He said ";I am not Jesus I am not
radiation I am
Not a commando this is not Romper
Room I am not responsible

";Shut up!";
The world's on fire toys on fire
Everybody everywhere looking
for desire
There goes Mary there goes Sue
I tried to warn you I tried to
warn you
Don't we go on living
Like our lives come with some kind of guarantee
Talking 'bout the future
Like we'll see tomorrow's sunrise definitely
Got no time for love today
Don't notice love just seems to slip away
(Seems to slip away)
I don't want to end up thinking about
How it could have been
If our days were numbered tell me
Would you love me then?
Could you say I love you
Would you let it go unsaid?
Would we be wasting time
If our time was limited? Yeah, yeah, yeah
Seems to me that we
Could treat each other so much better than we do
(So much better baby)
I don't want to wait
Till it's too late to let you know that I love you
(I love you)
Treat each day like it's the last
Make up for time we wasted in the past
I don't want to end up thinking 'bout
How it could have been
If our days were numbered tell me
Would you love me then?
Could you say I love you
Will you let it go unsaid?
Let's quit wasting time
'Cause our time is limited, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me
(Wastin' time, wastin' time)
I don't want to wait
(Wastin' time)
(Wastin' time)
Baby can't you see it
(Wastin' time, wastin' time)
Stop wastin' time
I gotta stop wastin' time
(Oh)
Stop
(Wastin' time)
Yeah
(Wastin' time)
I gotta stop
When love comes tumblin' down
Tumblin' down to the truth
And can't fall no more
Can't fall no more, baby, baby, baby
Don't be blue, I'll stand by you
And we'll get that feelin'
Just like before, only more and more
And love'll mean something again
Oh, baby, you know it can
Be just like heaven
It was heaven before, yes, it was
Oh, if you stand by me
I'll stand by you
And the feelin' it'll get
Stronger and stronger
Won't be much longer
'Cause this time this love's gonna grow
This time you'll never go
This time I'll love you so
This time everything we ever wanted
This time our love's gonna grow
This time I'll never let go of you
This time I'll love you so
This time everything that we could ever feel
In lovin' I feel it's comin'
Now I know the meanin'
I'm through with all the driftin' the dreamin'
'Cause when love comes tumblin' down
Tumblin' down to the truth
It can't fall no more
Tumblin', tumblin', tumblin', ooh
Tumblin', tumblin', tumblin', ooh
Tumblin', tumblin', tumblin', ooh
Tumblin', tumblin', tumblin', ooh
Whatever I do, there will be love in it
Whatever I see, I will see you in it
Whatever I do, there will be love in it
Even when I close my eyes
All I see is you.
Oh, oh, the sunshine of your smile
Oh, oh, the music of your voice
Oh, oh, when you lay your body by
Oh, oh, the night was made for love.
Oh, baby, the way we move in love
Oh, baby, the way we movin'
Oh, baby, the way we move in love
Oh, baby, the way we movin' now.
Whatever I do, there will be love in it
Whatever I see, I will see you in it
Whatever I do, there will be love in it
Even when I close my eyes
All I see is you.
And I could fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly.
I made an ark from the light of the stars
And I hewed two mesas of bright silver metal
That sang in the sun like a sail in the wind
And I weave my way back to you
Now I can fly.
Oh, baby, the way we move in love
Oh, baby, the way we movin'
Oh, baby, the way we move in love
Oh, baby, the way we movin' now.
Whatever I do, there will be love in it
Whatever I see, I will see you in it
Whatever I do, there will be love in it
Whatever I see, I will see you
Whatever I do, I will do you
Whatever I see, I will see you
Whatever I do, I will love you
Whatever I do, there will be love in it
Whatever I see, I will see you in it
Whatever I do, there will be love in it
Even when I close my eyes
All I see is you.
[Instrumental]
He said,"Hold a dollar bill up to the mirror
And I'll show you something funny
It's only a fast buck, but
It's so hard to make that kind of money"
Now it's hard to get serious
When the joker is laughing
And by now the joker is wild
It's hard to keep laughing
When a rich man's reflection
Looks like a gun that's gonna smile
What's going on? I ask you
What's going on? Can you see?
What's going on? I ask you and
Who's coming on? Is it you or me?
Coming on while it's still soft and warm
Burn it dry before the fiery storm
Sing it now while you still have a song
Grab on now while you're still feeling strong
How long, how long would you like it?
How long, how long will it be?
How long, how long can we take it?
How long before we take it back?
You and me, think fast
I was thinking that I should be singing along
Think fast I think he's coming through
Think fast, he thinks he's running you
I was thinking that I should be singing along
Think fast, he thinks he's coming in
Think fast, I think he's wearing thin
I was thinking that I should be singing along
Think fast, he's taking all your time
Think fast, you know he's out of line
But who cares
You know you can
You will, you know you can
Sing it now while you still
Sing it now while you still
Ai child you are timeless and I love you
Child that I see
And I see you tryin' to lean towards kindness
Now that's what I like to see.
That's what I like to see
I want to see your love
And I want to feel
I want to feel your love.
Ai Garimas? sometimes loving in the rain
Some feel like steel, some taste like candy
Ai Garimas? the same in any language
The same in any name
Call it what you feel
Call it whatever's handy
We don't have to know the name
We don't have to have the same name
We don't have to have any name at all
All 'cause you gave me your love
And now I know just exactly who to call.
That's what I like to see
I like to see your love
And I want to feel
I want to feel your love.
We don't have to know the name
We don't have to have the same name
We don't have to have any name at all
Cause you gave me your love
And now I know just exactly who to call.
He said, you will look right into my eyes
Repeat every word that I say
You want some magic in your life
My love is the only way
Magician
Magician
Ohh magician
Magician
His body moves behind my eyes
Obsession grows, it's a private show
Magic man with a sleight of hand
Disappearing right into my soul
Magician
Magician
Ohh magician
Magician
He's here again that magic man
My eyes won't turn away
Just like magnets pull me in
I can't forget his face
Magician
Magician
Ohh magician
Magician
I walk right up and said
Take me, take me, take me
No pride, no shame, enchanted
Call it a dream but don't wake me
Magician
Magician
Ohh magician
Magician
No matter how fast he goes
Feels like slow motion
Hypnotize me frame by frame
Caught in my own dream paradise frozen
Magician
Magician
Ohh magician
Magician
Magician
You see it every day in every way
We all hear the same routines
They all say that it's okay
Just let us take care of everything
So we lay it on the line
Layin' it on the line
(layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, right on the line
Just layin' it on the line (layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, we're livin on the front line
I can see it in the faces
We got trouble in the streets tonight
And power keeps us in our places
And it doesn't matter if you're left or right
You lay it on the line
Layin' it on the line
(layin' it on the line)
Just layin' it all, right on the line
Layin' it on the line, (layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, right on the line
Take it to the wilderness
Into the jungle sun
Lookin' for the voice of reason
Inside this babylon
Got u.s. boys on foreign soil
Spillin' their blood to keep the peace
Cities will vanish in turmoil
While the sheiks lay sleepin' on the beach
We lay it on the line
Layin' it on the line
(layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, right on the line
Just layin' it on the line
(layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, right on the line
Layin' it on the line
Just layin' it all
Layin' it on the line

Steady as steel, I want to take the wheel

Freedom at Point Zero

One long pull to the top of the mountain now
One long pull and we're into the sky
So many miles I can't count 'em now
Oooh, let me fly -- to the sky
People get ready there's a ship comin
Get ready it's gonna be here soon
I feel a great wind sweepin through the valley
At the first light of the risin moon
Don't look back -- hold steady
Keep your eyes open we're almost ready
Like a Samurai on the edge of the sky
Cold steel in the afternoon
And its a hard world to try and get a piece of
It's a hard world for you and I
I'm goin upstream 'n hunt for a dream
It's right there for you and I
Up in the sky And it's gonna be
All-Right
Great light in the sky tonight
Oooh honey it's burning bright
Come and take me away tonight
It's All-Right
Oooh oooh oooh All-Right
Under every stone -- on every beach
Through every forest and all the trees in all the air
For all time and all space
In every land and every place
In the seas and beyond the sky
Gonna be All-Right
It's a hard world to try and get a piece of
It's a hard world for you and I
I'm goin upstream 'n go for a dream
Right there for you and I
Up in the sky
Just got to reach out and take it
It'll be All-Right
Take it -- It's gonna be All-Right
When I was small I used to stand
with my hand on my heart
and I would sing to you
you were my son and my lover
my father and my brother
I beleived in you
it was so easy then
It was so easy then
but where are you now

But do you remember
201 years ago
when you were young
how strong you had become
promising every one you sweet gift of freedom,
now you know exactly who I am
I seem to tell you all the time
now tell me some kind of truth about yourself
your life should be as opena s mine
there are children dying for you
that doesn't sound like freedom to me
you keep lyin' about why they're dyin'
when they should be concieved in liberty
Show yourself
show yourself to me
you're the one that told me
remember
you told me I was born to be free
open all your doors I want to see
all your doors and your keys
I want to see I want to hear you
all 88 keys yeah

If only the music would keep on playin'
If only I could dance with you
If only I could keep on singin'
All nite long, all nite long
If only we could dance together
All nite long, all nite long
If only we could keep this feelin'
Make it last all nite long
Waitin' for the next wave
Wonder what it's gonna be
Waitin' for the next
All nite long, all nite long
Oh, the dawn comes up like thunder
Somebody give me a light I need a little help
Through the darkness, just a little light, enough to get home
All nite long, all nite long
Sometimes the music?s a doorway
Out of the darkness into the light
Climb the dream I can make you dream
All nite long, all nite long
See the ruins of a once mighty castle
A land where the sun casts no shadow
Signs and wonders, the sound of thunder
All nite long, all nite long
Step into the sky
You won?t fall, I?ll tell you why
You got to be a sky rider
All nite long, all nite long
Oh, the dawn comes up like thunder
Somebody give me a light, I need a little help
Through the darkness, just a little light, enough to get me home
All nite long
I can read your mind and I know what you?re thinkin'
I can see your mind just as clear as my own
The pictures I see, they all tell a story
'Bout where we been, where we?re goin'
Tonight if only the music would keep on playin'
Tonight if only I could dance with you
Tonight if only we could keep on singin'
All nite long, all nite long
All nite long
All nite long
All nite long
Thunder awoke me
I sat up my feet on the floor
Silver, the lightning
That shattered the lock on my door
I feel like I've lived my life long
Just waiting for this day to dawn
Racing through time, towards the light
We just do what we must
We're more than just ashes
Our spirits are more than just dust
Ancient we stood in the sun
Older when time first began
Now by the light
Shining through from within
We'll find our way back
To the stars once again
Now by the light
Shining through from within
We'll find our way back
To the stars once again
Now by the light
Shining through from within
We'll find our way back
I used to watch 'em
Wide eyed with wonder
Thought they were falling stars
And you could wish
That dreams would someday
Someday would come true
When I'd slay dragons
And win the hand of the
fairest maiden
Keep on dreamin'
Of the way it could be
In a fairy tale land
With a magic lady
Keep believin'
In the way it could be
In a make-believe world
With your fantasy
In a magic kind of love
Now that I'm older
Still lookin' for that bed of roses
That bowl of cherries
I can bury my face in
I can almost taste it
Maybe I'm make-believin'
But if I'm dreamin'
Baby please please don't wake
me now
(Repeat chorus)
A magic kind of love
A magic kind of love
Now that I finally found love
I don't need no magic potion baby
'Cause when we're together
We are the magic kind of
The magic kind
In your fantasy in a magic kind
of love
Women Who Fly
I'm as tight as a drum and my feelings are somewhere inside
Beating hard against skin what's keeping the pain in and alive
I'm hard as a rock, but my heart won't stop keeping time
â'Cause it's not made of steel and the walls that I build
Love can climb
Women who fly Don't have the problem
Women who dream Don't stay too long
Women who fly Hold back nothing
Women who fly Have wings of their own
I'm most dangerous when the skin that I'm in isn't mine
I'm a cold empty shell and I'm living on borrowed time
I'm so easily led, pride goes to my head like cheap wine
And I honestly hate when a winner's fate isn't mine
Women who fly Don't have the problem
Women who dream Don't stay too long
Women who fly Climb mountains
Women who fly Have wings of their own
So don't give me wings And take away my sky
Women who fly Don't have the problem
Women who dream Don't stay too long
Women who fly Cross lines and borders
Women who fly Have wings of their own
I got a girl with her eyes wide open
her vision pierces the sky
her name is Angel 'n' she's just like a raven
wild eyes
no one can tell me no no nobody knows
where she comes from or where she goes
such a dangerous girl with her dreams intact
wild eyes
CHORUS
now now angel
now now wild eyes
now now angel
now now wild eyes
off the planet and across your brains
break the walls i'm in love again
and even telepathic children
have to eat their vegetables
wild eyes
there were days when we linked our arms
swayed and sang with our fists in the air
and as the sirens sang we asked for more
with wild eyes
angel and I need more of what's real
and we want it now
REPEAT CHORUS
like a shadow on the walls of time
like a soldier at the walls of troy
like a lover at your heart again
i wanna break through
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're bound to fall
Well, tell 'em a hookah, a smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice when she was just small
When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice, I think she'll know
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backward
And the red queen, she's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
I got a girl with her eyes wide open
her vision pierces the sky
her name is Angel 'n' she's just like a raven
wild eyes
no one can tell me no no nobody knows
where she comes from or where she goes
such a dangerous girl with her dreams intact
wild eyes
CHORUS
now now angel
now now wild eyes
now now angel
now now wild eyes
off the planet and across your brains
break the walls i'm in love again
and even telepathic children
have to eat their vegetables
wild eyes
there were days when we linked our arms
swayed and sang with our fists in the air
and as the sirens sang we asked for more
with wild eyes
angel and I need more of what's real
and we want it now
REPEAT CHORUS
like a shadow on the walls of time
like a soldier at the walls of troy
like a lover at your heart again
i wanna break through
The Light
I want to go to the stars
I want to go to the stars
I want to go to the morning star
She awoke with a start from a dream of stars
Let's talk metaphysics she sighed in her BVD's
She didn't need comfort, just some verbal intercourse
A dance around the intelligence tree
Where was the light before it came here?
Who held the power to begin the spin?
What is in store? What am I here for?
Is it love? Is it war? Is there more?
There she stands at my mind again
The age of poetry had begun
Wasn't that a time for the light?
Wasn't that a time to shake the foundations?
Wasn't that a time for love?
Go out and stuff the universe into your eyes
Out together on the streets
At the barricade in the streets
What a scintillating bitch with her eyes on the light
"Let's go to hell together" in her eyes
Why do we remember the past and not the future?
What's inside a black hole? What is the nature of the universe?
How does it work? Which way is west in space?
Is there sex in heaven? Is it the best?
Connect me with my intellect she sighed
You can's hide the sexual drive
Friction makes sparks
Sparks make fire
Fire make heat and the heat will endure
â'til the
Animal comes with ferocity
Not unlike
You and me
In the throes of poetry
A lover's eye can stare and eagle blind
A lover's ear can hear the lowest sound
A lover's lips taste like a dream
I know you like it on top
Don't stop
Wasn't that a time for the light?
Wasn't that a time to shake the foundations?
Wasn't that a time for love and danger?
Go out and stuff the universe into your eyes
The only answer that I have found
Aabove the sky or below the ground
Is that there are no answers
There never were any answers
There will never be any answers
And as Gertrude Stein said, "That's the answer."
I am not afraid of the future
I am not afraid of ideas
I am not afraid to shake the foundation
Of the wonder years.
These are visions of tomorrow
These are visions of the strength of ideas
Like matter and energy ideas shape the sky
Of the future years
In my imaginary world there are no hungry children
In my world, love is true
In my world teachers get paid more than baseball players
in my world, there is you . . . But
In the real world people get hungry
In the real world people need love
In the real world people need light and hope and ideas and food
And love and a soothing human touch.
Just like they're
Standing in the presence of God
Standing in the halls of imagination
Every boy a lion, every girl a tiger
It just takes a moment to step through the fire
Adventure beckons from above
The age of poetry begins again, with love
Isn't this a time for the light
Isn't this a time to shake the foundation
Isn't this a time for love and danger
Go out and stuff the universe into your . . .
Isn't this a time for the light
Isn't this a time to shake the foundation
I know you like it on top, don't stop
Isn't this a time for the light
I am not afraid of the future
Thunder awoke me I sat up my feet on the floor
Silver the lightning that shattered the lock on my door
Feel like I've lived my life long
Just waiting for this day to dawn
Racing through time toward the light
We just do what we must
We're more than just ashes our spirits are more than just dust
Ancient we stood in the sun
Older when time first began
Now by the light shining through from within
We'll find our way back to the stars once again
He's gonna go down,
If I keep turning him around.
I don't want to see him go,
Don't want to see him go.
No, because he's seen
A lot of fast-talkin' women.
I believe,
I believe, I'd better take it slow,
Because I know, I know that this is love,
And this is the day.
This is love,
This is the day.
Oh, this is love,
This is the day,
The day that he's drivin' on ice.
Whoa, but his body's full of fire and flyin'.
Smile on his face looks so nice, but he's just so tired of tryin'.
The morning brings cold weather and,
The nights are all alone;
And he thinks about that woman and he wonders,
Ah! Will she ever know that he's lovin' her;
Oh, he's lovin' her
Like he's, never loved,
Like he's never loved before.
And bein' alone,
Just not that easy anymore.
But don't you be sorry,
No, don't you be sad.
Ah, you know things change.
The woman isn't gonna wanna keep you, No!
Any longer, than you want to stay.
Well, so go to her,
When you think you know,
This is love, this is the day.
This is love, this is the day.
This is love,
Oh, this is love,
Washin my brains in the public fountain
Buildin my brains in the shadow of the mountain of glass and steel
Wrap me in your arms again
I'll make you warm again
We can touch the storm again
Tonight Tonight Tonight
Don't let it break you
Don't let it take you apart
I'll be your lifeline
I'll be your change of heart
Shatter the glass and all the walls between us
Strip your body naked flying dangerous
My love is waiting at the edge of the world
Here we go through the doors again
Here we go round the world
Don't let it scare you
Don't be afraid to start
I'll be your lifeline
I'll be the fire in your heart
Go straight up -- Past all numbers -- All numbers
Past God, past Mars, past light where there are no numbers
Wrap yourself in a cloak of fire and drive on through
Bathe in the waters of Isis Hathor
And the light it will amaze you
Just let it take you
Just let it take you away
I'll be your lifeline
I'll be the light of day
Don't let it shake you
Don't let it take you apart
I'll be your lifeline
Is this the little boy I carried
Is this the little boy I played
I don't remember growing older
When did they
When did she get to be a beauty
When did he grow to be so tall
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
Swiftly go the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following an other
Laden with happiness and tears
What words of wisdom can I give them
How can I help to ease their ways
Now they must learn from one another
day by day
They look so natural together
Just like two newlyweds should be
Is there a canopy installed for me
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
Raindrops fallin'
Winter feels so gloomy
Hear a knock upon my door
Stranger callin'
Eyes that look like mine
Said, ?You know, I've called before?
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
Familiar stranger
Should I know your name?
Did we meet some time ago?
I feel uncertain
Shadows whisper to me now
Sudden wind begins to blow
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
Stranger
Darkened doorways
Strangest things can happen
Don't know who you're talkin' to?
Find yourself
When lightning strikes you now
You could be lookin' back at you
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
Stranger
Familiar stranger
Should I know your name?
Did we meet some time ago?
Are you someone I should know?
In the wintertime when the sun is gone,
And I think I lost my way,
Door into the summertime,
Seems so far away.
Bareback airborne lady,
Turn me into daylight.
Don't let it rain.
I want to ride, ride the tiger
I want to ride, ride the tiger
It will be black and white in the dead of night
Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight
I want to ride, ride the tiger.
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
He’ll tell you about salt, carbon, and water
But a tear to a Chinese man
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and a woman.
I want to ride, ride the tiger
And I want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you (for you and you).
We’ve got something to learn from the other side
Something to give, we got nothing to hide
I want to ride, ride the tiger.
Black wants out of the streets
Yellow wants the country
Red wants the country back
And white wants out of this world
Sing, sing to the sky
I want to ride, ride the tiger
I want to ride, ride the tiger.
Look to the summer of seventy-five
All the world is gonna come alive
Do you want to ride, ride the tiger?
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
He’ll tell you about salt, carbon and water
But a tear to an oriental man
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and a woman.
It’s like a tear
It’s like love
It’s like a tear
It’s like love
Moon, I'll get it!
You be the earth, and I'll be the sky,
And we could sail to the top of the world.
Be my love, won't you be my life, And we could fly to the top of the world.
Now, won't you think about it now?
Now, make it realer now you seem to feel her now,
And let it roll.
Moon, I'll get it!
Moon, I'll get it!
There's a curtain high
In the corner of the sky;
Someone's behind it, I don't know who.
It might be love, but I'm not quite certain
The lady isn't certain, too.
Don't let it rain on me tonight.
Don't let it rain,
I need to feel the sun again.
Oh baby, please don't let it rain.
Rain.
Moon, I'll get it!
Moon, I'll get it!
Moon, I'll get it!
Childhood's end, (Grace: Childhood's end), childhood's end, Oh,
There are children being born,
Who will amaze you with their minds.
Leave them be, help them grow, and watch them fly.
You will see things in these years,
That will ease all your fears,
Help you build a bridge to the sky.
We are not alone.
We are not alone.
And the sky, tastes like a ship tonight.
We are not alone.
(Break)
Moon, I'll get it!
Moon, I'll get it!
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
Don't let it rain on me tonight,
Don't let it rain.
I need to feel the sun again,
Oh baby, please don't let it rain.
Woh, Don't let it rain.
Don't let it rain.
I think I feel the sun again.
Oh baby, please don't let it rain.
Don't let it,
Don't let it,
Oh, baby, please don't let it rain.
Ohhhh.
[Instrumental]
Go on out and gain the world
But don't you lose your soul
While you're trying
Your truth is changing every day
But your heart will let you
Know when you're lying
Well, you're running, running from me now
Running like you've got a race to win
Now you tell me our romance is over
Time for you to start again
Save your love and tenderness
Don't get lost in bitterness
Save the dreams
You had when we started
Do the things you have to do
But don't forget the love we knew
Don't lose your love
'Cause we've parted
You say you can't tell right from wrong
Confusion's pulled the reins tight in your soul
You think it's all going to make sense
That accomplishments are gonna make you whole
Following, following confusion
Running from someone who looks like me
Stop and take a look inside you
Now you tell me who it is you see
Save your love and tenderness
Don't get lost in bitterness
Save the dreams
You had when we started
Do the things you have to do
But don't forget the love we knew
Don't lose your love
'Cause we've parted
Save your love
Save your love
Papa John
They don't make â'em like that anymore
They don't make â'em like that anymore
After old Papa John they broke the mold
Rock on! Papa John. Rock on!
Rock on! Papa John. Rock on!
They know ol' Papa John has come and gone.
They don't make â'em like that anymore
They don't make â'em like that anymore
After old Papa John they broke the mold
Now John would get it on with the band
Yeah Creach could screech like no other man
Make you weep with the sweep of his hand
Yeah you couldn't stop dancing to his boogie woogie blues
With a stiff upper lip he paid his dues
Nobody'll ever fill ol' Papa's shoes.
â'Cause they don't make â'em like that anymore
No they don't make â'em like that anymore
After old Papa John the broke the mold, rock on!
Now Ol' King Cole was a merry ol' soul
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl
Then he called for his old fiddler's soul
And John just played â'em his favorite song
He played over and over all day long
Then he played over the rainbow and was gone
They don't make â'em like that anymore
They don't make â'em like that anymore
After old Papa John they broke the mold
Rock on! Papa John. Rock on!
Rock on! Papa John. Rock on!
They know ol' Papa John has come and gone.
They don't make â'em like that anymore
They don't make â'em like that anymore
After old Papa John they broke the mold
Jane, you say it's all over
For you and me girl
There's a time for love
And a time for lettin' it be baby
Jane, you're playin' a game called
Called "hard to get" by its real name
Makin' believe that you just don't feel the same
Oh Jane
Jane, you're playin' a game
You never can win girl
You're stayin' away so I ask you
"Where you been, baby?"
Like a cat and a mouse (cat and a mouse)
From door to door and-a house to house
Don't you pretend you don't know
What I'm talking about
Were all those nights we spent together, hey hey
Only because you didn't know better
I got to know
Jane, you're playin' a game
You're playin' a game, playin' a game
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
Woah Jane you're playin' a game
But why I don't see
Jane you're playin' for fun
But I play for keeps, yes I do
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
That's a game on me, yeah
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
So plain to see
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
Janie, Janie, Janie, Janie, Janie
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
Why you foolin' with me, me, me
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
(Jane, Jane, Jane)

Put your old ladies back into bed
Your old men back into their graves
Cover their ears so they can't hear us sing
Cover their eyes so that can't see us play
Get out of the way
Let the people play
We're gonna get down on you
Come alive all over you
Dancin' down into your town
Tyrannosaurus Rex was destroyed before
By a furry little ball that crawled along
The primeval jungle floor
And he stole the eggs of the dinosaur
CLOSE YOUR EYES & CREATE THE SOUND
OPEN YOUR HANDS & REBUILD THE GROUND
We are egg snatchers -
flashin' sunshine children
Diamond thieves
You unlease the dogs
of a grade-B movie star governor's war
While you sit in the dark -
insane with the fear of dying
We'll ball in your parks
- insane with the flash of living
I AM ALIVE
I AM HUMAN
I WILL BE ALIVE AGAIN
So drop your fuckin' bombs
Burn your demon babies
I WILL BE AGAIN -
The rabid lover-feelin' the starch in your grin
Callin' for acid cocaine and grass
And receiving your homemade gin
PUSH THE BUTTON
PULL THE SWITCH
CUT THE BEAM
C'MON MAKE IT MARCH
Sign me up as a diplomat - my only office is the park
You need to be out before you come in
And after you come you go
In the midst of Yang is a smaller part of Yin
And when it happens you know -
THE DAWN COMES
HEY DICK
Whatever you think of us is totally irrelevant
Both to us now and to you
We are the present
We are the future
You are the past
Pay your dues and get outta the way
'Cause we're not the way you used to be
When you were very young
We're something new
We don't quite know what it is
Or particularly care
We just do it - You gotta do it
Open your eyes there's a new world a-comin'
Open your eyes there's a new world today
Open your hearts people are lovin'
Open it all we're here to stay
OPEN THAT DOOR
You been holding back
And I know you're afraid to feel
Some one hurt you long ago
And the wounds just did not heal
You never shed a tear
You had to keep control
So the wounds kept spreading
Until they got down in your soul
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Been holding onto anger
Now it's got a hold on you
And bitterness keeps growing
Affecting everything you do
Time to break the chains
You could slip them off today
It's time to make some changes
Before your whole life slips away
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Love, lovely love
You got a way that's so exciting
I don't mind the pain
Of that burning flame
You know it's true
I've got the feelin' too
Hey, why don't you take
Whatever you want from me?
I'm in the mood
For all the lovin' that I can't see
Is this for real now?
Oh, I ask you now, can it be?
Love, lovely love
You movin' sweet inside of someone
Comes a thunder rain
And a hurricane
It's coming through
Straight from me to you
Why don't you take
Whatever you want from me?
I'm in the mood
For all the lovin' that I can't see
Is this for real now?
Oh, I ask you now, can it be?
Love, lovely love
You do a dance that's so inviting
I don't know the way
Or the words to say
But I know it's you
I've got the feelin' too
Why don't you take
Whatever you want from me
I'm in the mood
For all the lovin' that I can't see
Is this for real now?
Oh, I ask you now, can it be?
Love, lovely love, love, lovely love
Love, lovely love, love, lovely love
Love, lovely love, love, lovely love
Love, lovely love, love, lovely love
Love, lovely love, love, lovely love
Love, lovely love, love, lovely love
Love, lovely love, love, lovely love
You got a way that's so exciting
I don't mind the pain
Or that burning flame
But I know it's true
I get the feelin' too
Now, why don't you take
Whatever you want from me?
I'm in the mood
For all the lovin' that I can't see
Is this for real?
Oh, I ask you now, can it be?
Oh, why don't you take it?
Whatever you want from me
I'm in the mood
For all the lovin' that I can't see
Is this for real?
Oh, I ask you now, can it be?
Oh, why don't you take it?
Whatever you want from me
I'm in the mood
For all the lovin' that I can't see
I like to move at the speed of light
Albert says I can't -- but I can
Circle of stone, circle of steel
I want to ride in an iron wheel
I am a child of atomic war
You are the daughter of the overlord
Let's get together on the killin floor
Give me -- more, more, more, more, more
Violet lightning
Violet lightning
She's the girl with the hungry eyes
The girl with the hungry eyes
She holds up half the sky
The girl with the hungry eyes
I just met the girl with the perfect lips
I just met the girl with the perfect fit
Every atom in my body could inhale her
Speed of light girl, she is a sailor
Violet lightning
Violent lightning
Violet lightning
Now we're movin at the speed of light
Now we're movin at the speed of night
And your home gets filled with newer people, people, people
And all your friends are gone so hang on, hang on to the
Girl with the hungry eyes
She hold up half the sky -- she's the
Girl with the hungry eyes -- I love the
Wherever I go there's always Pooh
There's always the Pooh and me
And whatever I do he wants to do
And the Pooh and you and me together make three
Right now
Right now, come on
Shall I go off and away to South America?
Shall I put out in my ships to the sea
Or be in my cage, and the lions and tigers
Or shall I be on the knee?
Wave goodbye to America
Say hello to the garden
So I see, I see the way you feel
And I know that your life is real
Pioneer searcher refugee
I follow you and you follow me
Right now
Right now
In an old starship
Right now
Right now
Together
Right, right now
Wave goodbye to America
Go on identify it
If you want to
What I would really
Like to know
Will you light the sky on fire?
Will you light tonight like
You did the night before, baby?
You could take me higher
Than the diamonds in the sky
Take me, light in the sky and
We'll vanish without a trace
In a cigar-shaped object
Temples and pyramids they seem
Know all there really is to know
Will you light the sky on fire?
Will you light the sky
On fire again tonight?
You can take me higher
Than the diamonds in the sky
Take me, we'll vanish without a trace
In a cigar-shaped object
(Vanish without a trace)
On the pyramids is a legend
The great god Kopa Khan who
Came from the stars and vanished
And the legends say he will come
Back again someday
Someday (someday)
Will you light the sky on fire?
Will you light tonight like
You did the night before?
You could take me higher
Than the diamonds in the sky
Take me, light in the sky and
We'll vanish without a trace
In a cigar-shaped object
Yes, I would really like to know
What are they watching us for?
Yes, I would really like to know
Will you light the sky on fire?
Will you light the sky like
You did the night before?
You could take me higher
Than the diamonds in the sky
Take me, we'll vanish without a trace
In a cigar-shaped object
Vanish without a trace
Vanish without a trace
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on
Let's vanish without a trace
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on
Oh, Jesus we live in such a special place
What do we do to deserve this fate
How long can it it last what must be done
To keep it like heaven for our little children
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Falling in love in times of war
I'm on fire
This is for Kennedy
This is for love
This is for Tienanmen square
This is for America
Falling in love in times of war
These are the days for remembering
Kennedy King Tienanmen square
These are names worth remembering
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Falling in love in times of war
I'm on fire
I walked strange shores in search of my country
I been away talking to the aliens
If we don't do something soon
The earth is gonna look just like the moon
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Falling in love in times of war
I'm on fire
Where were you when the word was changing
Where were you when the passion was new
Stand a little closer to the fire
These are times worth remembering
Setting my tongue on fire
Writing in the book of people
My guitar it will not sleep
Remembering all the people.....the warriors
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
The bravest of all are falling in love
People on fire
From the red square to the Berlin wall
The Baltic sea to the streets of Managua
People on fire ... words on fire
I'm on fire ....worlds on fire
Next is Washington
Next is America
I'm on fire............!!!
Have you seen the stars tonight?
Would you like to go up on A-deck and look at them with me?
Have you seen the stars tonight?
Would you like to go up for a stroll and keep me company?
Did you know
We could go
We are free
Any place
You can think of
We can be
Have you seen the stars tonight?
Have you looked at all of the galaxy of stars?
Gold
Why are you shaking and breaking apart
Why are you hustling and bustling your heart
And why are you hurting with seat on your brow
Why to you persist to resist peace right now
Everything you touch will turn to gold
And every path you take is paved with gold
All the rivers wide will flow like gold
Everything you touch will turn to gold
There's nothing like cheating, defeating yourself
Concealing your thoughts like a book on a shelf
Just wanting for someone to come and take you down
To open you up so you know that you've been found
Everything you touch will turn to gold
And every path you take is paved with gold
All the rivers wide will flow like gold
Everything you touch will turn to gold
There's nothing like losing your way from the road
Bone tired and weary in the dreary fog and cold
And just as a phantom seems to frighten you to death
When white wings surround you as you take your last breath
Everything you touch will turn to gold
And every path you take is paved with gold
All the rivers wide will flow like gold
Everything you touch will turn to gold
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the blood-stained bandit
Oh good shepherd
Feed my sheep
One for Paul
One for Silas
One for to make my heart rejoice
Can't you hear my lambs acallin
Oh good shepherd
Feed my sheep
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the long-tongue liar
Oh good shepherd
Feed my sheep
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil
Oh good shepherd
is everything alright?
i just called to say how, lost i feel,
without you
miles away, i really can't believe
i'm here and how i still care, about you
hearts can break, and never mend together
love can fade away
hearts can cry, when love won't stay forever
hearts can be that way
is everything the same
do you ever think of me and how we loved one another
will you change your mind
will you want me back again
or have you found yourself a new lover
hearts can break, and never mend together
love can fade away
hearts can cry, when love won't stay forever
hearts can be that way
is everything okay?
i just thought i'd write a song
to tell the world how i miss you
'cus each and every day
i think of all the words i never said
and all the chances that i had to
hearts can break, and never mend together
love can fade away
hearts can cry, when love won't stay forever
hearts can be that way
hearts can be that way
hearts can be...
People get ready there's a ship comin
Get ready like a lover
I got a note from the heart of the darkness
The melody isn't over
Steady as steel, I want to take the wheel
'n drive you like a rock n roller
Freedom at Point Zero
'n rock n roll isn't over
One long pull to the top of the mountain now
One long pull and we're into the sky
So many miles I can't count 'em now
Oooh, let me fly -- to the sky
People get ready there's a ship comin
Get ready it's gonna be here soon
I feel a great wind sweepin through the valley
At the first light of the risin moon
Don't look back -- hold steady
Keep your eyes open we're almost ready
Like a Samurai on the edge of the sky
Cold steel in the afternoon
And its a hard world to try and get a piece of
It's a hard world for you and I
I'm goin upstream 'n hunt for a dream
It's right there for you and I
Up in the sky And it's gonna be
All-Right
Great light in the sky tonight
Oooh honey it's burning bright
Come and take me away tonight
It's All-Right
Oooh oooh oooh All-Right
Under every stone -- on every beach
Through every forest and all the trees in all the air
For all time and all space
In every land and every place
In the seas and beyond the sky
Gonna be All-Right
It's a hard world to try and get a piece of
It's a hard world for you and I
I'm goin upstream 'n go for a dream
Right there for you and I
Up in the sky
Just got to reach out and take it
It'll be All-Right
Take it -- It's gonna be All-Right
I've had desert visions
When the moon is shining bright
The end of the rainbow promise
Almost in my sight
Sat with my back against cold stone
Waiting for the morning light
And all the things I've seen in dreams
Have kept me up all night
Always reaching to the sky
Soft hard stone
I'm sitting here and thinking
Bout all the centuries its known
Got a feeling someone's near
Listening to the East wind moan
You know there's no one here
But I just don't feel alone
Fading Lady Light
Always here with me
Singing your song in the wind at night
You know I've never felt so free
You're my reality
Don't you fade away from me
The wind it paints your face
As it stirs the shifting sand
Nightmare creatures closing in
They leave at your command
If only you were beside me now
Maybe I would understand
And I could leave my dreams for life
To live the dream we planned
(repeat chorus)
Snow cuts loose from the frozen
Until it joins with the African sea
In moving it changes its cold and its name
The reason I come and go is the same
Animal game for me
You call it rain
But the human name
Doesn't mean shit to a tree
If you don't mind heat in your river and
Fork tongue talking from me
Swim like an eel fantastic snake
Take my love when it's free
Electric feel with me
You call it loud
But the human crowd
Doesn't mean shit to a tree
Change the strings and notes slide
Change the bridge and string shift down
Shift the notes and bride sings
Fire eating people
Rising toys of the sun
Energy dies without body warm
Icicles ruin your gun
Water my roots the natural thing
Natural spring to the sea
Sulphur springs make my body float
Like a ship made of logs from a tree
Redwoods talk to me
Say it plainly
The human name
Doesn't mean shit to a tree
Snow called water going violent
Damn the end of the stream
Too much cold in one place breaks
That's why you might know what I mean
Consider how small you are
Compared to your scream
The human dream
I've had desert visions
When the moon is shining bright
In the end of the rainbow promise
Almost in my sight
Sat with my back against cold stone
Waiting for the morning light
And all the things I've seen in dreams
Have kept me up all night
Always reaching to the sky
Soft hard stone
I'm sitting here and thinking
'Bout all the centuries it's known
I got a feeling, someone's near
Listening to the east wind moan
You know there's no one here
But I just don't feel alone
Fading Lady Light
Always here with me
Singing your song in the wind at night
You know I've never felt so free
You're my reality
Don't you fade away from me, no
The wind, it paints your face
As it stirs the shifting sand
Nightmare creatures closing in
They leave at your command
If only you were beside me now
Maybe I would understand
And I could leave my dreams for life
To live the dream we planned
Fading Lady Light
Always here with me
Singing your song in the wind at night
You know I've never felt so free
You're my reality
Don't you fade away from me, no
Don't you fade away from me

Precious love
I'll give it to you
Blue as the sky and deep in the
eyes if a love so true
Beautiful face
You make me feel
lite on the stairs and lost in the
air of a love so real
(chorus)
And you can count on me girl
You can count on my love woman
You can count on me baby
You can count on my love to see you through
Emerald eyes and china perfume
Caught in the wheel and lost in
The feel of a love so soon
Ruby lips
You make my song
Into the night and saved by the lite
Of a love so strong
(chorus)
I'll see you thru, ooh
You can count on me girl
(Count on me)
Words/Music: Kantner, Slick, Crosby
Last electric Sunday mornin' waitin' in the park for the dawn
Listenin' to all the animals in the Park and in the city beyond
Flashin' with my lady. sky goin' black to blue
She said I got a surprise for you
A child is coming
A child is coming
A child is coming to you
What are we gonna do when Uncle Samuel comes around
Askin' for the young one's name
And lookin' for the print of his hand for the files in their numbers game
I don't want his chances for freedom to ever be that slim
Let's not tell 'em about him —
A child is coming
A child is coming
A child is coming to you, it's comin'

Grace:
I wanna see his head rising
I wanna see his head rise to mine
Something must be done about the lone man
Gun concealed to carry out his heart of stone plan
He is eaten up with hate, got your attention far too late
Could you have stopped him if you'd known beforehand?
He seemed like such a nice guy to his neighbors
Kept to himself and never bothered them with favors
Nobody ever knew him, there was nobody to see through him
He was left alone to plan the death of his betrayers
Who's gonna be the hangman?
Who's gonna be the judge?
Who's gonna cast the first stone?
Who'll settle up this grudge?
It's so obvious the man is guilty
Tell me who is capable of showing any pity
Can anybody name the real assassin?
No one's gonna take responsibility
How did this man come out of our society?
Could our intervention have prevented his intention?
Well you know he's gonna plead insanity
Who's gonna be the hangman?
Who's gonna be the judge?
Who's gonna cast the first stone?
Who'll settle up this grudge?
Who's gonna be the hangman?
Who's gonna be the judge?
Who's gonna cast the first stone?
Who'll settle up this grudge?
It's so obvious the man is guilty
Now tell me who is capable showing any pity
Oh, I can tell by the way that she walks
She's a big city girl
And I can tell by the way that she talks
She might even save the world
Well, she got my number
But I don't think she knows my name
Oh, but since I've found this woman
Don't you know my life has changed?
Well, she got me singin' my song
Like I never sung it before, yeah
Big city, big city
Lord, I'd like to try 'em again
Big city, big city
Big city women got me again
All right
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, if you go to New Orleans
You got to find her there, too
Ha, now don't you know just what I mean?
I think she's down there lookin' for you
I've been to Chicago, babe
I've been to New York City, too, yes, I have
Well, don't you know the big city women?
They know how to give me the blues
Early in the morning
Oh, when the big city lovin' begins, yeah
Big city, big city
Lord, I'd like to try 'em again
Big city, big city
Big city women got me again
Alright Craig
Big city, big city
Lord, I'd like to try 'em again
Big city, big city
Big city women got me again
I'd like to try some other girl
Oh, got to have 'em one more time
I'd like to try some other girl
Oh, got to have 'em one more time
I'd like to try some other girl
Gotta, gotta, gotta have it
Gotta, gotta, gotta have it
Oh, you got me where you want now, babe
I just look at you
and I'm hypnotized
Like I'm drowning now
Drowning in your eyes
You are beautiful
Past imagining
And I want you more
More than anything
And I cannot speak
And I've lost my sight
All my senses gone
Lost in you tonight
And I want your love
(chorus)
Be (be) Be my lady
Be my lady
Won't you be my girl?
Do I ask too much?
Do I want too much?
Want to know you now
Want to feel your touch
You just look at me
Feel the fire start
Want to make you burn
Want to touch your heart
(chorus)
Got a racing heart
And my mind's a roar
Never felt like this
Never loved before
And it's dangerous
I would willingly
Burn to ashes now
If you'll stay with me
The tongues of some men are made of metal
The tongues of some men are made of oil
But the keeper of those men never rolled
Their tongues for anybody's free ride but his own
Now the oily tongues are thirsty for black gold.
But the old men are going to bed
They'll be sleeping through the future
And the children red with fire
They got to move away the old man's rusty beds.
Now the tongue, the tongue of a master
That should be laughter - with dancing legs
Like a flying wheel for the weak and sad man
Some tongues of man are made of silence
You come sail, with this air for little bit, if you will
There black sails knifing through the pitchblende night
Away from the radioactive landmass madness
From the silver-suited people searching out
Uncontaminated food and water on the shores
No glowing metal on our ship
Only free happy crazy people naked in the Universe
Go ride the music
If you smile at me
You know I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody
Everywhere does in the same language
Well I can see by your coat my friend
That you're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Tell me please who won, who won?
You must try some of my purple berries
I been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
Probably keep us both alive
Probably keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
Oh so very free and easy
Sail away where the mornin' sun goes high
Sail away where the wind blows sweet and young birds fly
Take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this foreign land, yeah
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cry
Stare as all your human feelings die
We are leavin', you don't need us
You don't need us here anymore, you don't need us
Go and take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this foreign land
Somewhere where we might laugh again
We are leavin', you don't need us
Oh sail away, oh just sail away, oh but sail away
Sailing ships on the water very free and easy
Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
Very free and gone
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Go ride the music
Go ride the music
Go ride the music

THE BABY TREE
There's on island way out in the sea
Where the babies they all grow on trees
And it's jolly good fun
to swing in the sun
But you gotta watch out if you sneeze, sneeze
Gotta' watch out if you sneeze
Yeah, you gotta' watch out if you sneeze
For swinging up there in the breeze
Your liable to cough
you might very well fall off
And tumble down flop on your knees, knees
Tumble down flop on your knees
And when the stormy winds
And the breezes blow high in a gale
There's a curious dropping and flopping and plopping
Fat little babies just hail, hail
Fat little babies just hail
And the babies they lie there in a pile
And the grown-ups they come after awhile
And they always pass by
All the babies that cry
And take only babies that smile, smile
Take only babies that smile
Let me tell you 'bout a dream
Dream
You know I saw her in a dream
Oh, St. Charles sings, sings about love
St. Charles, tell me tonight
Won't you tell me 'bout love?
You know I saw her in a dream
There was China in her eyes
In a silk and velvet disguise
She was movin' like a lady
Lookin' like a dragon princess
She was walkin', walkin' by the river
Rollin' in a rhythm of love
I never felt like this before
I'll never stop, I just want more
Oh, St. Charles sings, sings about love
St. Charles, tell me tonight
Won't you tell me 'bout love?
You know I saw her in a dream
I was Shanghaied by her way
Hypnotized by the things she would say
In the moonlight on the water
We were like lovers in another lifetime
Is it only a vision?
It feels like a prison
Just the spell of a demon
And I can't get away
Oh, St. Charles sings, sings about love
St. Charles, tell me tonight
Won't you tell me 'bout love
Please tell me 'bout love
Saw her in a dream
Please tell me 'bout love
I know I saw her in a dream
Dream
Let me take you to another place
Another time, another world of people dancin' in rhyme
Dance in the air, six-fingered webbed, fair as the air
She is the storm bringer, yeah
Storm changer, yeah
Tie yourself down to the main mast
Tie yourself down to the main mast
Like Ulysses in the water storm
Winds comin' down the main line
Tie yourself down to the main mast
Tie it down with love
Tie it down with love
Don't you feel it comin' stormin'?
I feel it coming stormin'
I can feel it now, stormin'
Don't you feel it comin' stormin'?
Stormin'
Stormin'
Stormin'
Stormin'
Stormin'
Stormin'
Stormin'
Stormin'
Stormin'
Stormin'
When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Better find somebody to love, love
Now when the garden flowers, my baby are dead
Yes, and your mind, your mind is so full of red
And don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Your eyes, your eyes may look like his
But in head, my baby, I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love, love
Tears are running, [Incomprehensible] running down your breast
And your friends, baby, you know they treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Go now, don't look back
We've drawn the line
Move on, it's no good
To go back in time
I'll never find another girl like you
For happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice
The dream won't come true
Sara, Sara
Storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time
Is a good time for goodbyes
Danger, in the game
When the stakes are high
Branded, my heart was branded
While my senses stood by
I'll never find another girl like you
For happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice
The dream won't come true
Sara, Sara
Storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time
Is a good time for goodbyes
'Cause Sara loved me
Like no one ever loved me before
And Sara hurt me, no one
Could ever hurt me more
And Sara, Sara and Sara
Nobody loved me anymore
I'll never find another girl like you
We're fire and ice
The dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara
Storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time
Is a good time for goodbyes
Sara, Sara
Storms are brewing in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time
Is a good time, no
Oh Sara, why did it, why did it
(Male singing)
Lookin' in your eyes I see a paradise,
This world that I've found is too good to be true.
Standin' here beside you, want so much to give you,
This love in my hand that I'm feelin' for you.
(Female singing)
Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that,
Put your hand in my hand baby don't ever look back.
Let the world around us just fall apart,
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart.
(Chorus)
And we can build this dream together, stand this storm forever,
Nothing's gonna stop us now.
And if this world runs out of lovers,
We'll still have eachother,
Nothing's gonna stop us,
Nothing's gonna stop us now.
(Male singing)
I'm so glad I found you,
I'm not gonna lose you.
Whatever it takes, I will stay here with you.
Take it to the good times, see it through the bad times,
Whatever it takes, here's what I'm gonna do.
(Female singins)
Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know?
Put your arms around me baby don't ever let go.
Let the world around us just fall apart,
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart.
(Chorus)
And we can build this dream together, stand this storm forever,
Nothing's gonna stop us now.
And if this world runs out of lovers,
We'll still have eachother,
Nothing's gonna stop us,
Nothing's gonna stop us.
Ooooooh, all that I need is you.
All that I ever neeeeeeeed,
And all that I want to dooooooo, is hold you you forever, and ever and ever. Hey!
(Chorus)
And we can build this dream together, stand this storm forever,
Nothing's gonna stop us now.
And if this world run's out of lovers,
We'll still have eachother,
Nothing's gonna stop us,
Nothing's gonna stop us now.
You been holding back
And I know you're afraid to feel
Some one hurt you long ago
And the wounds just did not heal
You never shed a tear
You had to keep control
So the wounds kept spreading
Until they got down in your soul
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Been holding onto anger
Now it's got a hold on you
And bitterness keeps growing
Affecting everything you do
Time to break the chains
You could slip them off today
It's time to make some changes
Before your whole life slips away
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
There's a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesn't really matter
Where you are, where you are
One man was happy and one lived in sorrow
Overseer said they'll meet tomorrow
One man was wealthy, one had to borrow
Overseer said they'll meet tomorrow
There's a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesn't really matter
Where you are
Moon's silver face, dark shadows on the wall
Light playing games as the evening falls
And when the sunshine, can't warm your heart again
Soar with the starlight on the evening wind
There's a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesn't really matter
Where you are
There is a way even though your heart is broken
Now by the close of one door another opens
Leave your heat wide open now, door will open
One man was happy, one lived in sorrow
Overseer said they'll meet tomorrow
Oh it's just the same, yeah it's just the same
It's just the same, yeah it's just the same
Yeah, yeah
There's a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesn't really matter
Jane, you say it's all over
for you and me, girl
There's a time for love and a
time for letting it be, baby
Jane, you're playin a game called
Called "hard to get" by its real name
Makin' believe that you still don't
feel the same
Oh Jane
Jane, you're playin a game
you never can win girl
You're stayin away just so I'll ask you
where you've been baby
Like a cat and a mouse (cat and a mouse)
From door to door
and house to house
Don't you pretend you don't know
what I'm talkin about
Were all those nights
we spent together, hey hey
only because you didn't know better?
I've got to know, oh
Jane, you're playin a game
you're playin a game, playin a game
Jane Jane Jane
Oh Jane, you're playin a game
of hide and go seek
Jane, you're playin' for fun
but I play for keeps, yes I do
Jane Jane Jane
That's a game on me yeah
Jane Jane Jane
It's so plain to see
Jane Jane Jane
Janie, Janie, Janie, Janie
Jane Jane Jane
Why you foolin' with me, me, me
All right
It makes you wanna get away
You know you got to stay
Lookin' for love, but you know it aint' easy
Lookin' for freedom and everybody needs it
All the young dudes, in jail
Will remember when the laws are finally changed
And they'll wonder, 'bout Oscar
Who spent five years in a Texican jail
What do you say? What about you?
Baby what cha gonna do, 'bout Mary Lou?
She died in Santa Rita
Billy shot it out in Alameda
It makes you wanna get away
You know you got to stay
Lookin' for love but you know it ain't easy
Dance with the dragon it's the year that it breathes
Oh, slow fire, slow fire
'Nam vets, scared yet
Heroes dreams
And broken bayonets
No choice
No voice
I got to find a reason
For my heart to rejoice
Yankee Doodle get it up
And stick a feather in your hat
Yankee Doodle keep it up
And call it macaroni
Yankee Doodle get it up
And stick a feather in your hat
Yankee Doodle keep it up
And call it macaroni
I wanna get away
I know I got to stay
Lookin' for love, but you know it ain't easy
Dance with the dragon it's the year that it breathes
Slow fire, slow fire, all right, dragon year
So clear, the sound of wings burnin' in my ear
Is it the risin' sun? Is it the settin' sun?
Dance with the dragon 'til the year is done
Yankee Doodle get it up
And stick a feather in your hat
Yankee Doodle keep it up
And call it macaroni
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I can see by the smile on your face
That you know what I mean
If you can hear me
Won't you come near me whenever you can?
And it all gets down to love
Love is hard
Love is hard
Love is hard
Do me! Baby, do, do, do, do me! Baby
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
Take a look at me
Tell me do you like what you see
Do you think you can?
Do you think you can do me?
Kiss me pretty baby
Touch me all over
Girl, what makes you think
You can do with me?
Do you think you, think you
Can do, do, do, do, do me
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
Girl, let your hair down
Take off your clothes and leave on your shoes
Would you mind if I looked
At you for a moment before I make sweet love?
Backstage, under age
Adolescent, how ya doin'?
?Fine,? she replied, I sighed
?I like to do the wild thing?
Action took place
Kinda wet, don't forget
The J, the I, the M, the M, the Y, y'all
I need a body bag
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
You can do me in the morning
You can do me in the night
You can do me in the morning
You can do me in the night
Do me! Baby
The time was 6 o'clock
On the Swatch watch
No time to chill, got a date
Can't be late
The girl is gonna do me
Move to the Jacuzzi, that booty
Smack it up, flip it
Rub it down, oh, no
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
You can do me in the morning
You can do me in the night
You can do me when you wanna do me
You can do me in the morning
You can do me in the night
You can do me when you wanna do me
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
You can do me in the morning
You can do me in the night
You can do me when you wanna do me
You can do me in the morning
You can do me in the night
You can do me when you wanna do me
Do me! Baby, do me! Baby
You can do me in the morning
You can do me in the night
Oh what can I tell you now, caroline
Should I hurt your feelings or keep on lyin'?
One thing leads to another and another
And another and another besides
You always know whenever I wanna make love
And you always know all the changes I'm going through
Just as if you can read my mind
Caroline, you know everything I do
There just ain't no words to describe
How I feel inside for you
Yet somewhere out there
Waitin' on a wonder
You'll lend wings to my words
Somewhere when the band is gone
And the music of my song
Is just right for lovers
You're what I want more than anything else
I love you - yes I do - but I know when I'm all by myself
Nothin' is real but my feelings and desires for you
And everything looks like some sort of scenery
Stored in an empty theatre
With stars on the ground - fences in the sky
And tears in the curtain of time
Oh what can I tell you, my caroline
Yet somewhere out there
Waitin' on a wonder
You'll lend wings to my words
Somewhere when the band is gone
And the music of my song
Is just right for lovers
Caroline, your lovin' keeps me rollin'
Rollin' all the time, rollin' all the time
Baby - somewhere out there
You really roll me
Roll me away
Baby - somewhere out there
You roll me, roll me away
And when the melody makes me surrender
Dark eyed girl, I always remember
That you love me somewhere out there
You really love me in time to the music
How you love me wildly in my heart
Girl, you love me
You roll me away
You always fill my heart with wonder
You always fill my soul with love
You always fill my lips with kisses
You always fill my eyes with tears
It's like a wind from the other side of the world
Like a far off pack of hounds
Sounds like a whole universe - throbbin' with life
I get so hypnotized in the lights
Just like the gaze of a mantis
Why even atlantis sank beneath
The waves in a day and a night
Oh, in a day and a night I could write
You a symphony
It would be just like a bird
And carry my love over the mountains
Cause somewhere out there
Waitin' on a wonder
You'll lend wings to my words
Somewhere when the band is gone
And the music of my song
Is just right for lovers
You always fill my heart with wonder
You always fill my soul with love
You always fill my lips with kisses
Are you an alien
Are you from this earth
Would you care to tell me
Details of birth
Did you just emerge from thin air
Can you even tell Me
Are you really there
Jet age dreams
From days gone by
The circle in the forest
Where they danced beneth the sky
...beneath the sky...
Beneath the sky
Do you know my thoughts
Can you read my mind
Would you dare to tell me
What it is you find
Come on now tell me what you find
What lays hidden in my mind
I can see through you
I can hear you too
I can feel you touch my mind
Did they paint your face
In ancient times
Were they talking 'bout you
In celtic rhymes
Can I just reach out
Pull back the shroud
Would you let me hold you
Would it be allowed
Are you the legend
Did they call you seer
Would you let me hold you
Would you disappear...

A CHILD IS COMING
Last electric Sunday morning
waiting in the park for the dawn
Listening to all the animals
in the park and in the city beyond
Crashing with my lady
Sky going black to blue
She said "I've gotta' surprise for you"
A child is coming
A child is coming
A child is coming to you
What are we going to do when Uncle Samuel comes around
asking for the young one's name
Looking for the print of his hand
or the files in their number's game
I don't want his chances for freedom
ever be that slim
Let's not tell em' about him
A child is coming
A child is coming
A child is coming to you
It's gettin' better (to be born)
It's gettin' better (feels like a morning)
It's gettin' better (it's growing)
Brighter (shining)
It's gettin' better (changing)
It's gettin' better (gathering)
It's gettin' brighter (spreading)
Together (with each other)
It's gettin' brighter (to tell the truth)
It's gettin' brighter (to feel like)
It's gettin' better (to be born)
It's gettin' better (to create)
It's gettin' better (to learn)
It's gettin' brighter (to grow)
It's gettin' done (to change)
It's gettin' briighter (let me learn)
It's gettin' better (we can learn to live)
Together (we can work it out)
All of us together (building)
It's gettin' better (building)
It's gettin' brighter (gathering)
It's gettin' brighter (shining)
It's gettin' better (learning)
It's gettin' done (learning)
It's gettin' better (daahaadaahaah)
Offering (growing brighter)
We'll all (they'll all survive)
Survive and grow (aah............)
It's gettin' better (aah............)
It's morning (shining)
Dawn (growing)
It's gettin' better (it's being born)
Ooh, (gettin' higher)
It's gettin' better (.........)
It's gettin' better (high)
It's gettin' brighter (amongst the redwoods)

It's gettin' better (aah.....)
It's gettin' brighter
It's gettin' better
Walk softly through the
Desert sands
Careful where you tread
Underfoot are the visions lost
Sleeping not yet dead
(chorus)
Hang on
Winds starting to howl
Hang on
The beast is on the prowl
Hang on
Can you hear the strange cry
Winds of change are blowing by
Mountains crumble and cities fall
Don't come to an end
Just lie scattered on the
Desert floor
Waiting for the wind
(chorus)
You got your life planned carefully
But you left out one detail
The hidden hand deals just one round
And the winds of change prevail
(chorus)
Walk softly through the desert sand
Old dreams lead the way
Nothing new in the sands of time
Just changes every day
Hang on
It's starting again
Hang on
There's no shelter from the wind
Hang on
Like a fire from the sky
Think of the times you have sat by yourself and wondered
Just what it was that compelled you to be what you are
You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
That's how you came and for sure that's how you go out
High on a hill you can feel the breeze and rest easy
All things that live have a right to exist and be free
You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
That's how you came and for sure that's how you'll go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out
Is there a chance you have taken these steps, so not losing
Losing all that you have, don't you know what you have is not real
You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
That's how you came and for sure that's how you go out
Yeah that's for sure
That's how you go out
That's how you go out
That's how you go out
Baby, if I had your lovin', I'd have everything I needed
If anybody told me I wouldn't have believed that I'd be
Head over heels in love with you, baby
Now all the unfinished dreams on the unmade beds
Are ungathered blackberries in my head
Baby, I know really am in love with you
'Cause you're sweeter than honey, baby
Warm as a piece of the sun
And darker than nite to a blind man
Softer than starlit shinin'
So let's get together and make love
Ain't nothing else to be prouder of
I need you bad, baby, you're the best thing I ever had
If you can do it, you can get it
You can bet, I'm gonna get your everlastin' love
Gotta be more where that came from, baby
Gotta get me some, gotta get me some
'Cause it's sweeter than honey, baby
Warm as a piece of the sun
Darker than nite to a blind man
Softer than starlit shinin'
Sweeter honey
Sweeter honey
Warm as the sun
Warm as the sun
Darker than nite
Darker than nite
Softer than star
Softer than star
Baby, I love you
I can't dance you outta my mind
I hear shoutin' in my heart
When you're in these arms of mine
When you satisfy my days and nites
Gratify my appetites, I never felt so good
Must be your lovin', baby must be your lovin'
'Cause it's sweeter than honey, baby
Warm as a piece of the sun and
Darker than nite to a blind man
Softer than starlit shinin'
Mary, I'll love her all my life
But she'll never be my wife
'Cos she broke my heart, broke my trust
Now I can't believe that she's serious
I love her, I will never marry Mary
No, I'll never marry Mary
Restless and wild, she runs away
Comes back and tells me she's here to stay
Tried to give her time but she wanted more
Now I just don't feel like I did before
I love her, but I will never marry Mary
No, I'll never marry Mary
Mary, tried to understand
But I can't stay here at your command
I got to break away, it's been too long
Still I can't say all the feeling's gone
I love her, I will never marry Mary
Oh, no, I never marry Mary
I never marry Mary
Said I never marry Mary
Never marry Mary, never marry Mary
I said I never, I know I never
I know I never, I think I might never
I know it might never, I wish I could but I'll never
I'd like to do it but I never
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can run
If miles turned to inches
You know he might roll
All the way around the world tonight
Look at him go
No jumping off the ride
At 30 miles an hour
Iron brains and ball bearings
Give him the power
(Whoa whoa)
Take a look
(Whoa whoa)
Look at that man oh yeah
(Whoa whoa)
You can see it
That man is free
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can roll
You got to see him to beleive him
(Can't you hear 'em callin')
You got to hear him there's no fear in that man
(Can't you hear 'em callin')
He's like a mean molten gold
(Can't you hear 'em callin')
Lord, he's got to have his story told
(Can't you fear you're fallin')
Tounge tip slipin' in and out like a lizard
(Can't you fear you're callin')
Ah, good God that man's a damn wizard
(Can't you hear 'em callin')
Black hair snapn' like a bull whip in the air
(Can't you feel 'em fallin')
Red roll'n wheels runin' for the downhill dare me
He knows how to use his hands
Perfectly balanced fore arms stand
In a hundred degre desert sand
You know I'd trade my boo for that man
I trade my boo for that boo
(C'mon man you're just a bad fool)
He's got the feeling about women's
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can roll
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can roll
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can roll
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
I can feel the heat risin' up inside of me
I can still remember how one touch baby feel
And thinkin' of that night, the light of the moon
The feelin' never fades, it ended too soon
Standin' in a broken dream
Callin' on your fantasies
Lookin' for the magic land
In her eyes
Shining in the moonlight
Looking for love
Shining in the moonlight
Looking for you, love
Shining in the moonlight
But I'm still alone
A victim of that night
For eternity
Driftin' like a summer wind
A memory inside of me, oh
Standin' in a broken dream
Callin' on your fantasies
Lookin' for the magic land
Tryin' to find it in her eyes
Whao, shining in the moonlight
Looking for love
Shining in the moonlight
Hungry for you, love
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
You don't know how much I love you
but I love you like the sun
I'd like to put my arms around you
And we could
(chorus)
Run run run, run away
Come on baby let's
run run run, run away
Come on baby let's
run run run, run away
If you knew how much I miss you
Oh and I miss you more and more each day
I'd really like to come and see you
And we could
(chorus)
Sun is comin' and
it's getting warmer
They tell me spring is
just around the corner
I been sitting watchin'
all the flowers
Birds are singin'
getting louder and louder
And here I am missin' you
and here I go I'm lovin' you
Run run run run runnin'
If you knew how much I need you
Oh and I need you like the air
And if someone should take you from me
Well then I'd
Rock and roll is good time music
Listen to it
Rock and roll is good time music
Listen to it
Alright
Mama said, "Be a doctor son"
But a voice said, "Follow the music"
Papa said, "Be a lawyer boy"
But a voice said, "Follow the music"
'Cause you know you're not doin' for the money
You're doin' it just for the thrills
You don't do it for money, boy
So thank the Lord rock keeps payin' the bills
I said, "Rock and roll is good time music
Listen to it
Rock and roll is good time music
Have a listen to it"
Alright, oh yeah
You may think that life ain't no laughing matter
And go right on a talkin' all your intellectual chatter
Well all that jivin', it ain't true so let's just push on through
Rock and roll to stay alive, rock and roll will survive
Sneakin' Monica out after the prom
You know I didn't get her back till just before dawn
Outside we were creepin', inside everyone was sleepin
Goodness gracious that's rock and roll, oh yeah, alright
I told you
Rock and roll is good time music
Listen to it
Rock and roll is good time music
Listen, listen, listen
Rock and roll is good time music
Told you to listen to it
Rock and roll is good time music
Listen to it
Rock and roll is good time music
Rock and roll is good time music
Rock and roll is good time music
No intentions whatsoever
I was gone for a night nothing's forever
The cruel daylight brought me back to my senses
(Back to my senses)
Got caught in here under false pretenses
No way out none whatever
I made up the story thought it was clever
She didn't ask and I got no reply
(Got no reply)
But later that night I heard her cry
No way out, she doesn't buy my story
No way out, she doesn't buy my story
No way out, she doesn't buy my story
No accusations whatsoever
But can she forget nothing's forever
Since yesterday she's a little bit colder
(Little bit colder)
Won't happen again what could I've told her
No way out, she doesn't buy my story
No way out, she doesn't buy my story
No way out, she doesn't buy my story
Doesn't buy my story
How can she tell the truth from the lies?
How does she know when to close her eyes?
She doesn't want to lose me
So she only sees what she wants to see
No way out, she doesn't buy my story
No way out, she doesn't buy my story
No way out, she doesn't buy my story
No way out
No way out
No way out
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
I might have to move
heaven and earth to prove
it to you, baby
So we're makin' love and you feel the power
And I feel the power
Then there's really nothing that we can't do
If we wanted to, baby
We could exist on the stars
It'd be so easy
All we gotta do
Is get a little faith in you
Oh, I've been to so many places
I've seen some things
I know, love is the answer
Keeps holding this world together
Ain't nothing better
Ain't nothing better
And all the answers to our prayers
Hell, it's the same everywhere, baby
Nothing ever breaks up the heart
Only tears give you away
Then you're right where I found ya
With my arms around ya
Oh baby, baby, baby
love is a magic word, yeah
few ever find in a lifetime
But from that very first look in your eyes
I knew you and I had but one heart
Only our bodies were apart
That was so easy, so easy
I had a taste of the real world
When I went down on you, girl
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
I can hear windmills and rainbows
Whenever you're talkin' to me
I feel like swirling and dancin'
Whenever you're walking with me
You ripple like a river when I touch you
When I pluck your body like a string
When I start dancin' inside ya
Oh baby, you make me wanna sing
Yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh yeah, all right
Baby, we're sure doin' it tonight
Everytime you come by, let me try
Pretty, please sugar on it
That's how I like it
I can't even believe it, with you
It's like having every dream I ever wanted
Come true
I picked up your vibes
You know it opened my eyes
But I'm still dreamin' yeah
And you're right where I found ya
With my arms around ya.
Ooh, spread your wings
You've been too long in the cage
Feeling the range of abuses
Oh, I'm sorry, yeah
I've opened the door
I've set you free
But you can't you see
That I'm no good, I'm sorry
(Sorry)
Baby, I still love ya
(Sorry)
And I worry about it
(Sorry)
The hurt I put on you
You can do without it
Love too good
You gotta love too good
You gotta love too good
For a woman like me, baby
Take to the wind
Here with me, there's too much pain
Over and over again, I'll hurt you
I'm sorry
Oh, I've opened the door
And I've set you free
But you still can't you see
That I'm no good, sorry, yeah
(Sorry)
Baby, I still love ya
(Sorry)
And I worry about it
(Sorry)
The hurt I put on you
You can do without it
Love too good
You gotta love too good
You gotta love too good
For a woman like me, for a woman like me, baby
Set you free
Can't you see?
Wanna set you free
Can't, why can't you see?
Love too
Love too
Love too
Here I am
Even though
I said I would go
Think by now
You should know
Darling I love you so
Arguments are just a trial
Only lasting for awhile
Just a smile from you
Will make me say, ?I will stay?
I will stay with you
Love you always like today
We got a love that lasts forever, yes, we do
And darling, I will stay with you
In a rage
Out of spite
We say things we know aren't right
But my love
When it's over
When we're together in the night
And we're making love this way
You know that I will stay
Never go away from you
I will stay with you
I will stay with you
Love you always like today
We got a love that lasts forever, yes, we do
And darling, I will stay with you
I will stay with you
Love you always like today
We got a love that lasts forever, yes, we do
And darling, I will stay with you
And darling, I will stay with you
I want to see another world
For me and my child
My old lady, too
Maybe you
If we can
If we get to
I want to see another world
I want to see another world
I think you might see
A great ship up in the sky
Like an eagle, like a stallion
Might be a burning silver wheel
Let you know you can fly
Look up in the sky
Look up through the darkness
I think it might be love
I want to see another world
For me and my child
My old lady, too
Maybe you
If we can
If we get to
I want to see another world
I want to see another world
I want to see another world
When all the sky is darkness
When all the ground you know is gone
How the solar wind she blows
Snowy silver dragon sings the songs
Flying straight up to the sky
Great singing engines sigh and
Drive this metal fragment into time
Let's try to get along with each other
Sister and brother
Father and mother
Everyone's a lover
I want to see another world
For me and my child
My old lady, too
Maybe you
If we can
If we get to
I want to see another world
I want to see another world
Let's try to get along with each other
Sister and brother
Father and mother
Everyone's a lover
Get along with each other
Sister and brother
Father and mother
I never thought there were corners in time
'Til I was told to stand in one
One straight line head on into the other
Maybe standing in a corner looks like where it's got to come
But I pretend one wall is the past and one is the future
And I'll stand here like the present looking for a good place to run
Every fish that swims upstream now that's a catch
Because the full mouth never wants to stop cooking
The map may be flat and the globe may be patched
But the long line keeps right on hooking
Circles in the ring of fire, where do you go
On a night that is clear and warm, oh
Where do you go?
I never thought there were corners in time
'Til I was told to stand in one
I've heard circles moving right through corners
And they don't even know they've been around and around
And around before
Ringing, ringing against each other on a singing chain
Like a flying magnet hyperdrive has never seen any reason
To remain the same
Because I felt it, I believe it
There are things I've never seen that I believe
So I'm gonna place my face right in the triangle door
Till I can move right on through instead of just standing here
Looking at the door
And it rains again tonight, I can think light years ahead
Or I could put myself back a thousand years ago
As if I'd always been here before or as if I am still to be born
I'm a slow loser, but I'm a fast learner that much I know
Anyone can go that much I know
Anyone can go that much I know
You get what you give, if you give what you get
Ooh, don't forget it, hot water, cold water
You get what you take, if you take what you get
Ohh, we can make it
Oh, I think I'm gonna skip this shining rock
Across the water, hot water
Send it out and if it's love I wanna see it come straight back
Straight up the way it ought to
Oh, you say you feel like love is here
Know it's a feelin' of love that you can hear
You can leave right now, you can love today
Let me hear what you have to say
Get what you give, if you give what you get
Ooh, don't forget it, hot water, cold water
You get what you take, if you take what you get
Ohh, we can make it
Think I'm gonna skip this shining rock
Across the water, hot water
Send it out and if it's love I wanna see it come straight back
Straight up the way it ought to
Oh, you say you feel like love is here
Know it's a feelin' of love that you can hear
You can leave right now, you can love today
Let me hear what you have to say
Love, love is what I wanna say, hot water
Love, love is where I wanna stay, hot water
Love, love is what I wanna say, hot water
Love, love is where I wanna stay, hot water
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love, love
Love is where I wanna stay, hot water
Water, hot water
Water, hot water
Fire
Fire
You know there's a fire
You started a fire burnin' in my heart
My desire caught fire baby
Just tiny spark
Now it's outta control
Spreadin' through my soul
Been deliberately set
Gonna get even hotter yet
Burnin', burnin', it's burnin' me up
You started a fire
Burnin' in my heart
You started a fire
Burnin' in my heart and soul
Baby with your love
I burst into flames
When I called out your name
And suddenly I was engulfed
Now my whole life's on fire
Now flames keep on gettin' higher and higher
In the heat of the night
I get the fever but it feels all right
Burnin', burnin', it's burnin' me up
You started a fire
Burnin' in my heart
You started a fire
Burnin' in my heart
Fire, fire
You know there's a fire
You started a fire, baby
Burnin' in my heart
Burnin' in my soul
Burnin' red hot coal
Now I'm really hot
I just can't be stopped
Now it's your turn to burn
Got to learn to walk on fire
Burnin', burnin', it's burnin' me up
You started a fire
Burnin' in my heart
You started a fire
Burnin' in my heart
Fire, fire
Burnin', burnin', burnin' in my heart
Fire, fire
Burnin', burnin', burnin' in my heart
Fire, fire
Burnin', burnin', burnin' in my heart
You know it's been a long, long road
since I packed up and left on my own
And I carry a heavy load
just trying to get back to her heart
I sure ain't got no home
I seem to find love where I ramble
And when it's time to go
I hear that voice again, saying
(chorus)
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back
Find your way back to your heart
Leave a message with the rain
you can find me where the wind blows
The snow across the pain
and the frost upon the heart
(You got no place to be)
(Still you wonder where you're going)
And why I had to leave
I hear a voice and it says to me
(chorus)
To her heart
c'mon
(instrumental)
I know it's too late now
but I wish I could go back in time
And start all over somehow
and get it right from the start
(chorus)
Find your way back
(Find your way back)
Find your way back
Find your way back
(Find your way back)
Find your way back
Find your way back
(Find your way back)
Find your way back
Find your way back
(Find your way back)
Find your way back
Find your way back
(Find your way back)
Find your way back
Find your way back
(Find your way back)
Find your way back
Find your way back
(Find your way back)
Find your way back
Find your way back
(Find your way back)
Don't ever stop, don't ever stop, no no no
Don't ever stop this crazy feelin'
I love you so you'll never know
Don't ever stop believin'
Out of the minds time after time
It's such a crazy feelin'
Feelin' good, feelin' high
Feel so free I wanna fly
Feel the sun, feel the ground
Feel it just go round and round and round
And I wanna stay day after day
And just a little bit longer
You close to me I gotta be
You know the love gets stronger and stronger
Feelin' good, feelin' high
Feel so free I wanna fly
Feel the sun, feel the ground
Feel it just go round and round
Turnin' like a wheel
Changin' it for real
Whenever we are one
It's true, always me and you
Kind of weather
I love you so you never know
Don't ever stop believin'
Out of my mind time after time
Ooh it's such a crazy feelin'
Feelin' good feelin' high
Feel so free I wanna fly
Feel the sun, feel the ground
Feel it just go round and round and round
And I wanna stay day after day
Just a little bit longer
You close to me I wanna be
Love gets stronger and stronger
Feelin' good feelin' high
Feel so free I wanna fly
Feel the sun, feel the ground
Feel it just go round and round
And round and round
And round and round
Round and round
Don't stop no more
Don't stop grab on, don't stop
This crazy feelin' now
Don't stop grab on, don't stop no more
Don't stop, this crazy crazy feelin' now
Don't stop no more, don't stop no more
Don't stop, this crazy feelin' now
Don't stop no more, don't stop no no no
Don't stop, this crazy feelin'
Well, everything, everything has come to life again
I have no doubts but the ice got thin
What came too soon was so hard to keep
So full a harvest, it was hard to reap, no
Well, there were times seemed just like the walls would crumble
Shoot from the hip and pray for trouble
Stone-cold sober and a-seeing double
How that midnight band could ramble
Taking mansions and leaving shambles
Remember other times and places
Last night's dance, the glowing faces
All the lights, the shadows in the hall
Seeking higher peaks from which to fall
Remember, we were telling you
That time would stop and nations fall
Now we find the lies come true
Can you tell me, tell me, what are we to do?
Because the good old days
Those good old days are all dead and gone
Good-bye and bless them all, every one
'Cause what was true has passed the test
Just as well forget the rest
It's half of what you saw
Was not yours to know
Let it go
Everything, everything, everything, everything
Well, everything has come to life again
Well, everything has come to life again
Come to my life
Come to my life
Come to my life
She had wraparound legs
And she was twice his size
And when he saw her red thing
He was hypnotized
She just lying there waiting for him
Stretched out on a silky bed
She got sheets like a net
Made out of silver thread
He say, "I'm comin' at you, baby
Look out when a bull sees red"
He just had to do it
He jump right into her web
Well, she shake those long legs
Till he's weak in the knees
He say, "Baby you're the best thing I'll ever see"
Take my love, you'll find heaven in the morning
Take my love and I'll carry you away
Take my love, you can have it if you want it
Take my love, take my love
Well, she wrap him up
Just looks like a silky dream
He say, "Awoo" with a satisfied scream
She take all his love then she be movin' on
But she be lookin' so good
He say, "I got to have some"
Take my love, you'll find heaven in the morning
Take my love and I'll carry you away
Take my love, you can have it if you want it, honey
Take my love, take my love
Take my love, take my love
Take my love, my love
Take it sucker
She come on so strong
Just can't get away
When she say, "Come here baby"
That's all she need to say
Then he jump right into the trap
He got a one-track mind
Black widow smiles
She say, "Now he's all mine"
Take my love
(You'll find heaven in the morning)
Take my love
(I'll carry you away)
Take my love
(You can have it, you don't you wanna, honey?)
Take my love
(I'll carry, carry, carry you away)
Take my love
(You can take it, you can have it if you want it)
Take my love
(I'm gonna carry you away)
Take my love
(Woman this will be your last night to take again)
Take my love
(I'm gonna carry you away)
Take my love
(Woman, you can have it if you want it)
Take my love
Walk softly through the
desert sands
Careful where you tread
Underfoot are the visions lost
Sleeping not yet dead
Hang on - Winds starting to howl
Hang on - The beast is on the prowl
Hang on - Can you hear the
strange cry
Winds of change are blowing by
Mountains crumble and cities fall
Don't come to an end
Just lie scattered on the
desert floor
Waiting for the wind
Chorus
You got your life planned carefully
But you left out one detail
The hidden hand deals just one round
And the winds of change prevail
Chorus
Walk softly through the desert sand
Old dreams lead the way
Nothing new in the sands of time
Just changes every day
Hang on - It's starting again
Hang on - There's no shelter from
the wind
Hang on - Like a fire from the sky
Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enought
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can run
If miles turned to inches
You know he might roll
All the way around the world tonight
Look at him go
No jumping off the ride
At 30 miles an hour
Iron brains and ball bearings
Give him the power

Take a look

Look at that man oh yeah

You can see it
That man is free
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can roll
You got to see him to beleive him

You got to hear him there's no fear in that man
(Can't you hear 'em callin')
He's like a mean molten gold
(Can't you hear 'em callin')
Lord, he's got to have his story told
(Can't you fear you're fallin')
Tounge tip slipin' in and out like a lizard
(Can't you fear you're callin')
Ah, good God that man's a damn wizard
(Can't you hear 'em callin')
Black hair snapn' like a bull whip in the air
(Can't you feel 'em fallin')
Red roll'n wheels runin' for the downhill dare me
He knows how to use his hands
Perfectly balanced fore arms stand
In a hundred degre desert sand
You know I'd trade my boo for that man
I trade my boo for that boo
(C'mon man you're just a bad fool)
He's got the feeling about women's
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill

Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Either go away or go all the way in
Look at what you hold
Come back down on a spear of silence
When it flies
You go on through
You come on through
Thr rediculous no
Oh no
One more pair of
Loving eyes look down on you
Sheets and a pillow
How old will you have to be before you
Stop believing
That those eyes will look down on you
That way forever
There you sit mouth wide open
Animals nipping at your sides
On wire wheels the four stroke man
Opens wide
The marching sound
The constant ride
On the gasket is mine
All mine
One more pair of
Wire wheels bear down on you
Gear stripping the willow
How many machine men will you see before you
Stop believing that speed
Will slide down on you
when I was a young boy I drove my mother crazy
when I was a young man I drove my teachers wild
oh whoa oh whoa nobody to con-trol me
oh whoa modern lover I need you near me
CHORUS
never want to leave ya
never want to leave ya
never want to leave ya
no no no no no
reality anonymous is comin' after me
they want me shakin' they want me screamin'
outside 12 year olds are carryin' machine guns
they give the orders I must be dreamin'
everywhere I go 'n' everything I see
it's all startin' to look like
some strange mythology
where is the spirit where is the fire
REPEAT CHORUS
and then I broke in two
ya don't really think everything is really
the way you thought you thought it was did you
I broke in two but now I think it's time to move
move
move
move
move me
watch out
machine gun machine gun
oh whoa oh whoa nobody to control me
oh whoa oh whoa nobody to convince me
that everything is just gonna be o-k
never gonna leave ya
never gonna leave ya
never gonna leave ya
no no no no no
no no no no no
[Note: The first "verse" is, mysteriously, not sung on the record.]
A song for a girl who lives for the future
A song of the Fremen [sic] Camps near the river
After the fall -- Before the Beginning
We build the watchfire every night
We control the water flow
We control the power from fusion
Reactor #12
The walls of the city crumble
I would sing a song fifty feet long
Sweet breezes on pine beaches
The sound of fire
Let it shine Let it shine Let it shine
Shut down the city lights I want to be with my lady
Build up the watchfires turn down the sun
I been too long in the green fields of rapture
I been too long without bein on the run
Carry the fire from the heart of your lover
Carry the fire where the wild things run
There's a monster lurking deep in the forest
Let's go and get him when the mornin comes
Rose I need you
Rose Can't go without your love
Rose I need you
I can't go without you
I won't go without your love
Oooh Rose do you remember all the dances
Remember the miracles and all the crazy chances we took on
Love, Love, Love -- I want to go beyond
Love, Love, Love ------ let's go
Inside the walls of forbidden halls
Beyond everything I've ever hoped or sung
Carry the fire -- Beyond all desire
Carry the fire -- Brighter than the sun
Rose
Lightning Rose
Rose
I won't leave without you
I can't go without your love
Love is a fire in the Rose
She rocks me
Shut down the city lights I want to be with my baby
Build up the watchfires turn down the sun
Rose I need to feel you near me
Lightning Rose I need you to be strong
Come together warm around the watchfire
Come together till the mornin sun
Open the floodgates and let loose the waters
Stand by the banks and watch the water run
Carry the fire to the heart of the darkness
Carry the fire each and every one
Carry the fire in your hands if you need to
Carry the fire the fire the fire
Let it shine Let it shine
Look into the night sky
I used to watch 'em
Wide eyed with wonder
Thought they were falling stars
And you could wish
That dreams would someday
Someday would come true
When I'd slay dragons
And win the hand of the
fairest maiden
Keep on dreamin'
Of the way it could be
In a fairy tale land
With a magic lady
Keep believin'
In the way it could be
In a make-believe world
With your fantasy
In a magic kind of love
Now that I'm older
Still lookin' for that bed of roses
That bowl of cherries
I can bury my face in
I can almost taste it
Maybe I'm make-believin'
But if I'm dreamin'
Baby please please don't wake
me now
(Repeat chorus)
A magic kind of love
A magic kind of love
Now that I finally found love
I don't need no magic potion baby
'Cause when we're together
We are the magic kind of
The magic kind
In your fantasy in a magic kind
Can't find love
Can't find love
Can't find love
Can't find love
When there is nothing to believe in
Biting on the lonely bullet
'cause you
Can't find love
Counting all the heartless stars
at night
One by one
Try to keep your heart from breakin'
'cause you
Can't find love
Tasting all the tears you cry
at night
One by one
When there is nothing to believe in
You can't find love all alone
You can't find love all alone
Running through the sleepless
nights 'cause you
Can't find love
Cry away the lonesome day
'cause you
Can't find love
Crowded into solitary with the
Lonesome ones
Love could set your heart on fire if it
Would return
With something you can believe in
You can't find love all alone
You can't find love all alone
Find love, find love
Well, come on
Find love, find love
Well, come on -- well, come on
You can't find love all alone
You can't find love all alone
Walk fine talk fine do it if it feels
fine but don't say no
Walk fine talk fine do it if it feels
fine but don't say no
Fat ass no class so bad she'll never
pass but don't say no
Slow kind fast kind do it till it
wrecks your mind but don't say no
Take some make some do it till you
make her come but don't say no
Inside outside no one gets a free ride
but don't say no
Al child you are timeless and I love you
Child that I see
And I see you
Tryin to lean towards kindness
Now thats what I like to see
Thats what I like to see
I want to see your love
And I want to feel
I wanna feel your love
Al Garimasu sometimes loving in the rain
Some feel like steel some taste like, candy
Al Garimasu the same in any language
The same in any name
Call it what you feel
Call it whatevers handy
We dont, have to know the name, no
We dont, have to have the same name, oh
We dont, have to have any name at all
All cause you gave me your love
And now I know, just exactly who to call
(Break)
Oh, thats what I
I like to see
I like to see your love
And I wanna feel
I wanna feel your love
We dont, have to know the name, oh no
We dont, have to have the same name, oh
We dont, have to have any name at all
Cause you gave me your love
Moon rise above the Rio Grande
On this fantasy of sand
As I drift into a dream
And I feel the comet scream
Three birds watching from a rock
And I swear the third one talked
Rise up through the fog and we can
"All fly away, all fly away
Let's leave today
We may climb through time tomorrow
Fly away"
Space city like a jewel on wings
Rocket ships like bees they sting
Planets of fantastic sight
Floating up in pastel light
Twisted trees in Martian breeze
Catch that horse don't let him freeze
Someone won't you come?
And we can all fly away, all fly away
Let's leave today
We may climb through time tomorrow
Fly away
We can all fly away, all fly away
Let's leave today
We may climb through time tomorrow
Fly away
We rode a bubble through the sun
We all knew it could be done
There were men with fiery wings
And a million burning things
Silver statues on the run
Bleeding there since Kingdom come
Won't you pick them up?
And we can all fly away, all fly away
Let's leave today
We may climb through time
We will all fly away, all fly away
All fly away, dragon fly away
We will all fly away, dragon fly away
All fly away, all fly away
All fly away, all fly away
All fly away, all fly away
Dragon fly away, dragon fly away
There is no color in the king
And he is softer than the queen
Confusion reigns, sometimes it reigns.
Now a colored sky never makes anybody cry
But a grey cloud always makes it rain, sometimes it rains.
He only has the moves of a knight
But he wants the absolute freedom of a queen
Too bad the only money he's got is coming in
Colored american green.
You know it's worthless paper you can spend or save
Go ahead and count that by yourself but look out
Somebody's looking
You're supposed to do that by yourself - count it
He says he's not doing anything wrong he thinks
He's just another part of the royal story
But does it always have to start that way
Always ending someday
With no man's warning.
Don't talk back, some ruler says, or everything
You need will go away
Every answer you think you've ever said is just a guess
And the king of clocks just slowly locks up every day.
Clocks strikes damn near perfect at night
But it moves so slow in the morning light
King says a crown doesn't make the man
But we all know, yes we all know, he thinks he's born to glory.
Until he dies by the devine right of kings
No one down here wants to give that man any golden wings
And man must fly, man must fly
Is that grey man sane
Her neon mouth with a bleeding talk smile Is nothing but electric sign You could say she has an individual style She's a part of a colorful time
Super-sealed lady, chrome-color clothes You wear 'cause you have no other But I suppose no one knows You're my plastic fantastic lover
Your rattlin' cough never shuts off Is nothing but a used machine Your aluminum finish, slightly diminished Is the best I've ever seen
Cosmetic baby, plug into me And never, ever find another And I realize no one's wise To my plastic fantastic lover
The electrical dust is starting to rust Her trapezoid thermometer taste All the red tape is mechanical rape Of the TV program waste
It's so easy
When love is new
Magic feeling
In everything you do
But we get careless
And make each other cry
Oh, what a waste
Just to let love die
Let's give it one more try
You say you're sorry
I'm sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you
The fire is low
But the ashes burn
Getting near the point
Of no return
Out on the edge
Such a dangerous place to be
When darkness falls
And you got no way to see
Don't turn away from me
You say you're sorry
I'm sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you
Now it's over
We've reached the end
Time has come
To start again
You say you're sorry
I'm sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you
You say you're sorry
I'm sorry too
Sorry me
If you want my love, tell me 'bout tomorrow, cause I can't wait one more day Cold in the night waiting for a promise, so all alone I'm hanging on
Woman don't play this game, you'll never get my lovin' this way All this time you been livin' for the moment It works for some but not for me, no
(Hold on) It's not enough to tell me you love me It's not enough to tell me that you care It's not enough to tell me you want me Darlin' you know deep inside If you want my love then girl you must show me
(Not enough) Oh, show me girl
We can make it last if we hold on till tomorrow, or will we throw it away Empty words, you say you wanna please me, but half a heart won't make it right
(Hold on) It's not enough to tell me you love me It's not enough to tell me that you cried It's not enough to tell me you're sorry Darlin' you know deep inside If you want my love then girl you must show me (Not enough)
(Solo)
Empty words, you say you wanna please me But half a heart won't make it right, no
(Hold on) It's not enough to tell me you love me It's not enough to tell me that you care It's not enough to tell me you want me Darlin' you know, it's not enough - (not enough) to tell me you love me It's not enough to tell me that you cried It's not enough to tell me you're sorry Darlin' you know deep inside, it's just not enough
Set the night to music Set the night to music
Look at all the stars tonight, look at all the moonlight Look at us were all alone Oh and its just like a dream, some romantic fantasy Darling come and hold, hold me close
We could be making love And with the slightest touch We could, set the night to music We could set the night to music We could do what we want to do Itll only take me and you, to Set the night to music
Find a rhythm all our own, melt into it nice and slow Love ourselves away from here Your heart beating next to mine, perfect love in perfect time Watch the world disappear
This moment is ours to take (this moment is ours) And with the love we make We could set the night to music We could set the night to music We could do what we want to do Itll only take me and you, to Set the night to music
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah This moment is ours to take (this moment is ours) And with the love we make We could set the night to music We could set the night to music We could do what we want to do Itll only take me and you,
Young girl in the city She was a small town girl in the middle of the city of light "What am I doing here?" she cried. "What am I doing here?" "I want to be dangerous Like a fire in the sky There's burning barricades in the streets And fire in my eyes."
(chant)
So there she sat with a diamond bullet in the Center of her heart No a mile from there are people living ten to A room Not a mile from here and a few streets further on They're sleepin' in doorways, boxes, some of them children And the sound of gunfire, cracks the night In the shadow lands And the saxaphone, in the shadow lands, sings
(chant)
She had nothing on but the radio Her hair was nighttime black and here eyes compelling Compelling me to dreams, "Go out and change the world," she said Compelling me to action
In the night striped with lightening She will come and feed on dreams Hair streaming forth, burnin' with desire And the storm deepens, cracks with thunder Lust enters into it, sex! Mouth! Sweet! Blood red!
(chant)
And as the sky explodes And I'm drawn to action (with her) It's like the First time that you really fell in love And your both on the battle lines And it's like the first time that you're really fuckin' too Alive in the bed with the woman you're fuckin' Who's fuckin' you
Listen We don't call the shots here We don't make the rules We take what we get, get what we can And it's learning the hard way Here on the streets You can't build a dream, without a plan
(Passion speaks) Let them hear you speak (Play for keeps) They play to win, we play for keeps
Chorus: It's not over 'til it's over It's not over 'til we get it right
The odds are against us They say we don't stand a chance But there's no giving up, no giving in When push comes to shove You got to fight for what you love You do what you must, do what you can
(Passion speaks) Let them hear you speak (Play for keeps) They play to win, we play for keeps
It's not over 'til it's over (It's not over) It's not over 'til we get it right It's not over 'til it's over (Don't go giving in) It's not over 'til we get it right
The odds are against us But you know we still stand a chance But there's no giving up, no giving in It's not over
What time is it, boys and girls?
It's time for the Dark Ages!
Your nightmares and traumas
Can make you rich and famous
Commericals can teach you
All that you need to know
Kiss my flag
Don't look back
The past is gaining on us
Read my lips
Watch my hips
These are the Dark Ages
George Orwell's dream came true
But no one realizes
It crushed us so nicely
With so much wit and style
Entertainment might as well be
Just like a rocket launcher
Too bad it's in the hands of the enemy
Nobody believes me
And so I know that I'm right
Charisma addiction gives me a deja v?
Is this like Germany in the 1930s?
Do we have to
Live through the apocalypse again?
Chorus:
Might be the dark ages
But we're so happy
Happy to be here today
You never know when you
Might have to face the censor
So I don't pretend to
Want to make too much sense
Revolution on TV
In far-off distant countries
Too bad it's just another mini-series here
Nobody believes me
And so I know that I'm right
Charisma hangover
Has got to wear off soon
Could this be like Eastern Europe
In the 1990s?
Will we ever get a chance
To have perestroika here?
Chorus:
These are the Dark Ages
But we're so happy
Happy to be here today
Might be the Dark Ages
But we're so happy
The summer was dry like your nose when you've been behind coke for a day and a season We sail out into the grasshopper nite and we seek the righteous poison Sunday morning in speedway, y'know the people come around for a reason SUNDAY MORNIN SUNDAY MORNIN The land is green and you make it grow, go to the forest and move The sound of thundering electrical energy calls us to the park in the noon C'mon anybody-now fill my pipe * to the park * to the forest and move
When I feel you coming round me - ridin in the sun Goin home move your mind toward Mars and then beyond Genesis is not the answer to what we had before I we altogether in you
You know I remember the 23rd of November In the abyss of Chicago you can see the barbed wire - pigs around a lot of nothin The witch hunters wail and they bark and they wheeze and they try to turn us into their poison
You know - a starship circlin in the sky - it ought to be ready by 1990 They'll be buildin it up in the air even since 1980 People with a clever plan can assume the role of the mighty and HIJACK THE STARSHIP Carry 7000 people past the sun And our babes'll wander naked thru the cities of the universe Cmon free minds, free bodies, free dope, free music the day is on its way the day is ours
You breathe out You breathe in And the glow of the machine'll get you on Moving slow, don't fear the changes Gracefully growing - as wild as we can be
Only the sun knows what we really need to know Only the sun holds the secret And more than human can we be Cause human's truly locked To this planetary circle
You gotta ride said the Doktor of space I have lived here once before The lites in the nite are a village of stars Of stars that I have explored Beyond the idea of beyond the void And beyond that and more Parallel lines in this village of stars Will lead you to the second door Time won't wait for the Doktor of space from the city of the sun to come
WHERE DO YOU GO FROM HERE CHAOS OR COMMUNITY CAN'T YOU SEE - ON THIS AND FUTURE SUNDAYS
What you gonna do when you feel your lady rollin' How you gonna feel when you see your lady strollin' One the deck of the starship With her head hooked into Andromeda C'mon Hijack Gotta get back and ahead to the things that matter America hates the crazies and you gotta let go you know gotta let go you know gotta let go you know gotta let go you know or else you stay
Spillin' out of the steel glass gravity gone from the cage a million pounds gone from your heavy mass All the years gone from your age
Hydroponic gardens and forests Glistening with lakes in the Jupiter starlite Room for babies and byzantine dancing astronauts of renown The magician and the pantechnicon Take along the farmer and the physician
We gotta get out and down back into the future Beyond our own time again Reachin' for tomorrow It's so fine Starshine
The melting acid fever streekin' thru my mind Makes it ahhh so difficult to see you and ahhh so easy to touch you I melt with you feel with you make love for you at you around you I love you
Dear Brumus, the ship'll be ours and you got to roll with it And tho' your master's head's blown off you got to go with it Roll with the natural flow Like water off a spinning ball Out- the one remaining way to go free - the only way to fall
The light in the night is the sun and it can carry you around the planetary ground and the planetary whip of the sun will carry you well past gideon and the people you see will leave you be More than the ones you've known before
Hey - rollin' on We come and go like a comet we are wanderers are you anymore The land is green and you make it grow And you gotta let go you know You gotta let go you know You gotta let go you know Or else you'll stay
Makind gone from the cage all the years gone from your age
You tell me to be strong - tell me to be strong Goodbye ain't no reason to cry - it ain't no big deal You say I'll get along - sure I'll get along You're so nonchalant that it's unreal
Well I thought this love would be all I needed I thought this love was something to believe in Now you - you say sorry babe, it didn't work out that way Don't let it ruin you're day babe
Chorus: Don't lose any sleep now babe It's just my heart you're breakin' - it's just my heart you're breakin' Don't lose any sleep now babe Just don't worry 'bout me - don't you worry 'bout me I'll be all right - oh yeah
Don't act so concerned - no don't be concerned Don't know how much more of your kindness I can bear Guess I had to learn - just had to learn That after all this you just don't care
Well don't let that worry your mind now I'll be okay - baby I'll be fine now It's just that I'm watching my world walking away Don't let it ruin you're day babe
Don't lose any sleep now babe It's just my heart you're breakin' - it's just my world you're takin' (Yeah babe) Don't lose any sleep now babe Just don't worry 'bout me - don't you worry 'bout me I'll be all right - oh yeah
(Guitar solo)
I thought this love was all that I needed I thought this love was something to believe in Now you just say sorry babe, it didn't work out that way Don't let it ruin your day babe Don't lose any sleep now babe, oh, Don't lose any sleep now babe, oh,
Don't lose any sleep now babe It's just my heart you're breakin' - it's just my heart you're breakin' Don't lose any sleep now babe Just don't worry 'bout me - don't you worry 'bout me Don't lose any sleep now babe It's just my world you're takin' - it's just my world you're takin'
Unused lyrics from lyric sheets:
And suddenly all and everything we know
Had burst into flames
Erupted in fire
In the heat of the river
In the heat of the morning sun
I saw Rose
Out on the river
Staring down the city guns
She said
I am the one
I am the champion
Protector
Leader
Defender
Optimum champion
She said
I am the one
I am the only one
In the aftermath of atomic fire
I'll be your champion
Distinctly unhumble they said
That's what they called her then
But everything she touched
Seemed to turn out like magic then
And the walls
The walls of the city
They fell down like magic then
And the walls
The walls of my heart
They fell apart like magic then
She was the one
She was the number one
In this age of madness
This age of the gun
Rose was the champion
Hot war who could ask for more
Six minutes on a cold winter morning
Cold war ain't here no more
Rose, Rose, take me home
Rose
Lightning Rose
Carry me home
Take me home
Home home home
Nanananananananana
Nanananananananana
There is no more order
Nanananananananana (continues in the background until **)
And there is no more Yale
There is no more New York
No more Central Park
No more Walter Cronkite
Duran Duran
No more Bruce Springsteen (he bought it)
No more Ray Charles
Or MTV
Or RCA Victor
And Yale is a sheet of radio-active glass thirty miles across
No more Jodie Foster
And there is no more California
No more Moscow, or Mecca, no Tel Aviv, or Riyadh or Peking or Cuba no London
No Washington DC
Kansas is left
They didn't touch Cleveland!
And there are no more bombs
They used them all!
Not many Russians left
And there no more assholes
There'll always be assholes
Why couldn't we stop it then, what did we do so wrong
And it's such a bloody drag to have to rebuild civilization all over again
Nananananana nananana
Nananananana nananana
There is no more order
But there is Rose
And Rose is your heart
And Rose is love
And Rose is spirit
And Faith and light
Rose is Friday night
And we all have Rose
If we start right now
And if we sing long enough
And if we sing loudly enough
And if we sing strong enough
We can make a difference
We can make a difference
Yeah yeah yeah, she said
I'll be the one
I'll be the only one

Law man--I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time
my old man's gun has never been fired
but there's a first time & this could be
this could be the first time
Law man
you know you look to be a lot younger than me and
I'd hate to shoot a baby
you've got a long way to go before you're old & slow
and it could be
it could be a good time if you change your mind
well I'm tired and sweet from making love
and it's just too late
you'll have to wait
bring your business around here in the morning
well I've heard your line
& you've heard mine
& I'm just too tired to take a side
bring your business around here in the morning
Don't you want to be easy look there
let some of the things you see go on by or
you can burn them into your brain go on home
Don't you see the children, they're just like you
they want everything to be fine but they let it slide
and the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules
Law breaker you know it could be me
& if you had your way we'd all be down
under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound
& you can see now the old hands won't move around
one way or the other,
fool card brother this could be,
People get ready there's a ship comin
Get ready like a lover
I got a note from the heart of the darkness
The melody isn't over
Steady as steel, I want to take the wheel
'n drive you like a rock n roller
Freedom at Point Zero
'n rock n roll isn't over
One long pull to the top of the mountain now
One long pull and we're into the sky
So many miles I can't count 'em now
Oooh, let me fly -- to the sky
People get ready there's a ship comin
Get ready it's gonna be here soon
I feel a great wind sweepin through the valley
At the first light of the risin moon
Don't look back -- hold steady
Keep your eyes open we're almost ready
Like a Samurai on the edge of the sky
Cold steel in the afternoon
And its a hard world to try and get a piece of
It's a hard world for you and I
I'm goin upstream 'n hunt for a dream
It's right there for you and I
Up in the sky And it's gonna be
All-Right
Great light in the sky tonight
Oooh honey it's burning bright
Come and take me away tonight
It's All-Right
Oooh oooh oooh All-Right
Under every stone -- on every beach
Through every forest and all the trees in all the air
For all time and all space
In every land and every place
In the seas and beyond the sky
Gonna be All-Right
It's a hard world to try and get a piece of
It's a hard world for you and I
I'm goin upstream 'n go for a dream
Right there for you and I
Up in the sky
Just got to reach out and take it
It'll be All-Right
Now when you open your mouth, what comes out
What's the first word, what's the first line?
When you open your mouth and love comes out
Then you know, you just sang the clear line
I've heard people say it a thousand times
In a thousand different ways
I've heard people play it a thousand times
And they know, they know that's the only way
To play.
You got to
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love.
Now are you talking about what it is you know
Or just repeating what it was you heard
Someone told you just exactly what to say
And you know, you know that's only one set
Of words
You got to play on love.
I've heard people say it a thousand times
In a thousand different ways
I've heard people play it a thousand times
And they know that's the only way to play
You been a reading it without living it
Now that's the golden prison we can always find
Living in stories and living in books or
We can live and leave all the stories behind.
It's up to you and it's up to me
Come down yelling timber through the
Burning trees
Who's been telling you about perfection
And how did he get in here, that's the question.
He must've
Played on love
Played on love
Played on love
Played on love.
I've heard people say it a thousand times...
You got to
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love.
Reading it without living it...
You got to
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love
Unused lyrics from lyric sheet:
...And there in the dawn of the nuclear twilight
In the heart of the glowing city
She stood
Pen in hand
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Go and find Rose and ask her 'bout order
Go and find Rose and ask her 'bout Yale
There is no more Yale (yaaaaaa!)
There is no more order (yaaaaaay!)
I was out on the river
And in the darkness before me
In the light of the domed city
I saw Rose Lightning Rose
She wasn't perfect
But she was semi-perfect
And she remembered all about her days in Yale
Before they turned it into a sheet
Of radio-active glass
Thirty miles across
And I always used to want to think if we could sing
Loudly enough
If we could sing strong enough
And if we could sing
Hopefully enough
Then all of this madness would disappear
And if we could sing
Long enough
If we could sing strong enough
And if we could sing true enough
It might carry us through next year
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Go and find Rose and ask about nuclear
Go and find Rose and ask her "What now?"
She'll tell you 'bout future
She'll tell you 'bout how to live beyond the pale
When the time comes... seize it
When the dream starts... believe in it
When the light shines... oh, bathe in it
And now we'll have to be
Strong enough
Have to work long enough
And if we believe
True enough
Then much of this madness'll disappear
I'll be the one
She said
I'll be the only one
In the aftermath of atomic fire
I'll carry us through next year
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalala
Unused lyrics from lyric sheet:
What if the world was turned around
What if nuclear plants worked
What if nuclear bombs didn't
What if they held nuclear disarmament
Talks in Antarctica instead of Switzerland
(In igloos, not fancy hotels!) They'd be
Over and done
In six hours, and be on their way home
Imagine, the light
And imagined that Rose was here tonight
And there in her eyes
Was a reason to live
A reason to fight
A reason to die
It scared me... it elevated me
I would do things for her
That I wouldn't do for my mother
My country
My lover
Tis of thee
I sing
Sweet girl of liberty
If you were a bird and you lived very high,
knew even the wind as the breeze came by,
say to the wind as it took you away,
That's where I wanted to go today"
And I do know that I need to have you around
Love like a mountain springtime,
flashing through the rivers of my mind;
it's what I feel for you.
You and me go walking south
And we see all the world around us,
The colors blind my eyes and my mind to all but you,
And I do know that I need to have you around,
And I do, I do know that I need to have you around.
I have a house where I can go
When there's too many people around me;
I can sit and watch all the people
Down below goin' by me;
Halfway down the stair is a stair
Where I sit and think about you and me;
But I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin'
Will the moon still hang in the sky when I die,
When I die, when I'm high, when I die?
If you were a cloud and you sailed up there,
You sail on water as blue as air,
You'd see me here in the fields and say,
They walk with their arms away from their sides
Cause it's all in the timing
Who wins the fight
All around them the signs are clear
It's gone too far
Now the showdown is here
Showdown is here
Hungry dogs follow
And the vultures lead
Self-preservation
The original greed
But there's too much fire
For the perfect match
Now it's just a matter of the first attack
Which one is right
That's no longer clear
Anger has no light
When it's covered with fear
Never turn your back
That's always when you're caught
You're a dead man on the rack
'Cause you're just too proud to stop
Absolute quiet is the final warning - showdown
Six minutes and the war is roaring -showdown
The voice of reason was buried this morning -showdown
Decision for death is the final story -showdown
We used to love it when they came on the scream
The good guys strong
And the bad guys mean
But the story has changed
Now the ending's insane
The audience dies
In the final frame
It's the final game
Now both sides are gone
No funerals
No priests
No crowds singing songs
No heroes in the streets
Both sides were wrong
Just too stubborn to teach
And it was just too long
Before enough people had the courage to speak
And say
No showdown
No showdown
No showdown
They walk with their arms away from their sides
Will the ones who are left
I'm gonna make one hour in inte
just a few minutes
I'm gonna get two days for the
price of one
there's a one word rhyme
and that's called living
there's a one word love
means plenty of giving
I'm gonna give it 'til I'm done
but everybody keeps telling me to
take it easy
but time doesn't sit down and wait
while I'm trying to get it done
but you're not me, thank god
you can take your time slowly
makes me fell good just to watch
you lie down and have your fun
Take your time
take your time
and I'll take my own time
(repeat 2x)
I can take it slowly or you can keep
runnin' on runnin' on
when I put one foot in front of
the other
to me that doesn't mean walk that
means run
I always want to start the race
before the gates open
I always want to start the race
before I hear the sound
of the gun
but everybody keeps tellin' me to
take it easy
but time doesn't sit down and wait
while I'm trying to get it done
but you're not me, thank god
you can take your time slowly
makes me fell good just to watch
you lie down and have your fun
Take your time
take your time
and I'll take my own time
(repeat 6x)
You say it'll take a you year
i say just take me a second
but there's room for both of us
just open the room
you know a year of time sees so
many changes
and the speed of light in the black
of night
Unused lyrics at beginning of lyric sheet:
Warm... round the hunting fire
Wrapped in the robes of the dead warrior
Protected from ferocious winds
Under the shield of the dead gladiator
Standing in the darkness of this stagecraft
All is black I cannot see your faces I need
Light I want to see your eyes
Let my voice wash over your faces
Connection
Connection
Whoaa ohhh
A hundred thousand years ago
People livin' in bone white cities
Comin' and goin' on streets of silver
Talkin' future history
Then something very strong went wrong
And suddenly
People gathered round the hunting fires
(Huddled in caves like animal, not human)
Round the warmth of the late night fire
Cities gone, memories fading
Spend their lives round the late night fire
Give their souls to the hunting fire
Seeking each other's company
Tryin' to remember ancient history
They lost connection
They lost contact
They need to touch you
Reach out across the ages and touch you
Meanwhile somewhere in the 20th century
A young girl named Phoebe Caulfield
Plops herself down on the sofa
Pops open a soda and watches you
She likes to watch murderer talk
She likes to see them on my TV
She likes to watch them how they walk
She likes to hear what they say
It's like a car crash
Bloody fascination
You wonder how they get their shoes tied
Sit and stare at the horror there
She knows you watch them too
Stranglers, murderers, snipers, terrorists
Political assassins, crazy ones, cool ones
All them looking for
Connection
They lost contact
They lost direction
They need sexual, mystical
Magical, uninterrupted, Peter Gabriel like
Contact
Here I am
Again inside
This darkness
All is black
I cannot see your future
Give me light
I want to see your eyes
Just a little light
Inside your future
A small connection
Connection
I'd like to see Jesus and Mohammad
On the road to Damascus
What did you think they would say
Would they fight with knives clenched in their teeth
Like Jews and Arabs today
Or would they walk and speak
Like philosophers and thinkers
Amused at each other's insights
Relishing the brain waves there
Round the warmth of the hunting fire
Eager for, hungry for
They got to have
You know they love
Connection
Contact
Communion
And let our two great religions
Cease their senseless struggle
It only hurts the children
Connection
I came back from the jaws of
the dragon
I came back to your heart again
I came back from the jaws of
the dragon
I came back to your dream again
Maybe for the first time it won't be
the last time
I came back to your heart again
I came back through the jaws of
the dragon
I came back to tell you where I been
If I was Sandanista ohh I would
assassinate
Somebody who abused abused abused
his mighty mighty privilege
But then somebody would
assassinate me
For abusing my mighty mighty
privilege
Can't spend the time on the holes
Got to eatcher donut and forget
about the holes
Don't forget or you might fall in
You got to concentrate concentrate
concentrate
I'm over the line
I'm over the line
I'm over the line
I'm over the line
Don't feel so badly about current
anxiety
About your frustrations emotional
uncertainty
That's the way you're supposed to feel
that's the way they want you to
feel
Dissatisfaction dissatisfaction
Massive demoralization family unit
breakdown
You're supposed to believe that war
is imminent
That crime soars and chaos prevails
Then they give you a moment of
sweet sweet peace
And you become so happy you don't
send them to jail
Come, come, O' brothers and sisters All who wanna smoke the ganja of love Rolling up our spliffs and twisters We're rocking out until we get enough
Dance, dance, 'til your feet may blister Kick off your shoes when they start to rub Sing, sing, O' brothers and sisters We're sounding higher than the angels above
Tell me, can you really get higher on anything else Tell me, can you really get higher on anything else Like the ganja of love
Love, love, O' brothers and sisters Ain't nothing better than the ganja of love Time, time, is short now mister Get out the way and let me have my puff
Dream, dream, you clowns and jesters It doesn't do what they say it does Come, come, O' brothers and sisters All who wanna smoke the ganja of love
Tell me, can you really get higher on anything else Tell me, can you really get higher on anything else Like the ganja of love
Don't know what's happened
To me since I met you
Feel like I'm falling in love
Since I met you
I got to know what you doing
Doing to me with your love
(With your love)
What you doing, doing to me
