In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream
Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream
(Chorus)
Toys, toys, Toys In The Attic
Toys, toys, Toys In The Attic
Toys, toys, Toys In The Attic
Toys, toys, Toys In The Attic
In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream
Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years
Voices scream
Nothing's seen

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off
Some Indonesian junk that's going round
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things
Before we married, mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines"
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Away, away
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird

(Lyrics : Jani Lane / Music : Jani Lane)
When the sun came up today
I asked him please to go away
Something died in me last night
I feel hollow on my inside
We talked until the words were yells
You¹ll never understand me I can tell
Oh, God I fell like hell
Throw another penny in the wishing well
Rain, rain, go away
I don¹t care much for the color grey
If I stay too long hopefully
I¹ll get washed out to the sea
And drown in my misery
See your face looking down at me
And if I asked you for help
You¹d hand me a glass of water
Chorus
Give me some give me one
Who understands my meaning
Give me some give me one
Who won¹t laugh while
I¹m bleeding
Give me some give me one
Who won¹t laugh while
I¹m bleeding
Give me sum give me one
Give me love
(Sister moon brother sun,

Gonna write a letter to my baby
And this is what I'm gonna say
On second thought I think I'll take the time
To say it to her face
I can't eat, can't sleep
I feel I'm going down for the last time
I'm sinking in your sea of insecurity, yeah
Do I love you? Yes I do, but I love my own life too
And now I lay here holding your hand
I can't help but feel that you don't understand
Tighter you hold on, more that it's feeling like quicksand
Our fate is written in the stars, written on your face
Now you're holding too tight to my heart
It's gonna burst and leave an empty space, yeah ya
Do I love you? Yes I do, but I love my own life too
As I lay here holding your hand
I can't help but feel that you don't understand
Tighter you hold on, more that it's feeling like quicksand, quicksand
Oh yeah
Oh, and do I love you? Yes I do, but I love my own life too
Oh, oh
Well, I lay here holding your hand
I can't help but feel that you don't understand
Tighter you hold on, more that it's feeling like quicksand
And I can't help but feel that you don't understand

Love In Stereo
Warrant
First time I went to California
I couldn't believe my eyes
Skirts were so short
NIghts so long
I thought that I would probably die
Fresh our of Luckenbach Texas
I didn't expect that pair
Both of them had one thing on their mind
And both of them were willing to share
I never had two women before
But I'm an open minded person
So baby lock that door
Love in stereo
Love in stereo
Oo how can anything feel this good
It's love in stereo
Lovin' from the bottom lovin' from the top
Lovin' to the left and the right
Now I'm a lover not a fighter but it
Looks like I'm gonna have to fight
To keep from losin' my mind
I never had two women before
But I'm an open minded person
So baby lock that door
Love in stereo
Love in stereo
Oo how can anything feel so good
It's love in stereo
First time I went to California
I couldn't believe my eyes
Skirts were so short nights so long
Girls comin' two at a time
Love in stereo
Love in stereo
Love in stereo
Love in stereo
It's Love in stereo

Heart breaker, soul shaker
I've been told about you
Steamroller, midnight stroller
What they've been saying must be true
Bridge:
Red hot mama
Velvet charmer
Time's come to pay your dues
Chorus:
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Talkin' jivey, poison ivy
You ain't gonna cling to me
Man taker, born faker
I ain't so blind I can't see

(Lyrics : Jani Lane and Beau Hill / Music : Jerry Dixon and Jani Lane)
There was sunshine and now there¹s only rain
And blue skies you turned them into pain
Words were so fine I wanted everyone to know
What other people hold back
I loved the way you showed
I never noticed blood on you before
But everytime you pull another in
I see a little more
You control things you tell them your a friend
But if they ever try to get away
You crush them in your hands
Chorus
Now I see with my own eyes and not
Through someone¹s else¹s lies
Yes, I followed
But with a knife I call the truth
I sever ties and cut me loose

I know that it's evil
I know that it's got to be
I know I ain't doing much
Doing nothing means a lot to me
Living on a shoe string
A fifty cent millionaire
Open to charity
Rock 'n' roller welfare
Sitting in my Cadillac
Listening to my radio
Suzy baby get on in
Tell me where you want to go
I'm living in a nightmare
She's looking like a wet dream
I got myself a Cadillac
But I can't afford the gasoline
CHORUS:
I've got holes in my shoes
And I'm way overdue
Down payment blues
Get myself a steady job
Some responsibility
Can't even feed my cat
On social security
Hiding from the rent man
Oh it makes me want to cry
Sheriff knocking on my door
Ain't it funny how the time flies
Sitting on my sailing boat
Sipping off my champaign
Suzy baby all at sea [Suzy baby you're obscene]
Say she want to come again
Feeling like a paper cup
[Floating | Blowing] down a storm drain
Got myself a sailing boat

When I was a kid all I wanted to be
Was the meanest dude on the meanest machine
Now I'm going to wrong way on a one-way street
I never fit this society
I don't really mind
Doing my own time
The three choices I ever came to find
Were:Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
I ain't looking for trouble but it's looking for me
The law of the jungle is protecting me
Lose sleep man stay out of your bed
You might wind up in jail if you lose your head
In death I might find
True peace of mind
But while I'm alive
Free choice is mine
It's either:Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
I don't really mind
Doing my own time
The three choices I ever came to find
Were either:Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll

Dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
Oh oh yeah
Italian cars as long as my street
I'm gonna wear exotic animals on my feet
Pretty rocks on my fingers, pretty bells on my toes
Lots of caviar for my mouth, maybe I'll even pierce my nose
Give me, give me just half a chance
To lead you in this corporate dance
I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
Sign it all in the palm of my hand
Nothing gonna get in the way, do you understand
I got a house, I got a jet
I got a Rolls Royce painted blue
The only thing that's left is for me to own you too
Give me, give me just half a chance
To lead you in this corporate dance
I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
I'm gonna have more money than you have ever seen
Baby I just want all the frills
I'm gonna insulate my body in green, me too
I'm going to light my cigarettes with 100 dollar bills
Give me, give me just half a chance
To lead you in this corporate dance
Give me, give me just half a chance
To take you on a hopeless romance
And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
I told you what I want, I want bank accounts
And I want cd's and I want early term roll overs
I want everything

Blind Faith
Warrant
Darlin' I know you're sleepin'
But there's something I've just got to say
Wonder if you'll hear me
While you're dreamin'
You make a lifetime
Out of every day
Thanks to you now I know
All my dreams can come true
Blind Fainth in you I got
Blind Faith in you oh yea
Your eyes keep things well hidden
Just a hint of what
You're holding inside
And the first day that I met you
I consider that the first day of my life
Thanks to you now I know
All my dreams can come true
Blind Faith in you I've got
Blind faith in you
And I'm not sure I deserve
A women so true, but I love
That you think I do
With YOu and Faith, beside me
I'm feelin' stronger every day
Blind faith in you I got
Blind faith in you it's true
Blind faith in you I got
Blind faith in you
And I'm not sure I deserve
A woman so true but I love

"Big Talk" as recorded by
Warrant
Back street fight is looking for trouble
If you open your mouth You're bound to rumble
Johnny looks tough He's froze in the eyes
He keeps his mouth shut He don't tell no lies
Johhny went out last night Got in a barroom fight
Embarrassed a jealous man in front of his cheatin' wife
The man said "Tonight you won But I tell you son
This one's far from over" Johnny said...
CHORUS:
Big talk is just cheap talk unless Unless you're backin' it up
Big talk is cheap t
alk Only words
Unless you're backin' it up Backin' it up
I don't know why some men lay down and die
Don't they believe in what they are sayin'
You should get on your fee Believe you can't be beat
Remember talk is only playin'
CHORUS:
I remember what my old man used to say
WE'RE BACKIN' IT UP
Never give up and run
WE'RE BACKIN' IT UP
Don't let the talkin' breeze blow you away
Always remember Stick to your guns

Twisted little daydreams, memories with pain
Locking me behind the closet door
I will be a good boy, promise, I won't run
Sit quite in my room, playing with my toy gun
Now I'm older but the memories still eat me like disease
Alone in the darkness, watching you on my TV
Why did God make you so famous, when he only spit on me?
I want to bathe in your light
I want to be on the news
If I take your life, it's nothing personal
Just a boy and his toy gun dying for attention
Sitting on the steps, the sun is sinking low
The world gets very quiet as the street lamps start to glow
I step out and I raise my gun, time just seems to slow
For a moment, I can see myself trapped in your reflection
I'm angry and I'm lonely and I'm dying for attention
I want to bathe in your light
I want to be on the news
If I take your life, it's nothing personal
Just a boy and his toy gun dying for attention
Dying for attention

You're the Only Hell Your Momma Ever Raised
Warrant
I heard Mama late last night
Talkin' to my father
It's time that boy was shippin' out
Come Hell or high water
He smokes and spits and drinks and fights
His friends all look like trouble
Sleeps all day and gone all night
Where's the boy I used to cuddle
Ten good years and then he must
Have gone insane
Your the only hell your mama ever raised
Tried to tell ya but you've
Got to do things your own way
Says you're a good boy and that you
Must be goin'through some phase
You're the only hell Mama ever raised
Susie sneaks out all teh time
Says it's only fair yea
Mama won't let me have no fun
Sometimes I think she's Linda Blair yea
Sixteen years of pristine tears
Then Susie changed her ways
Your the only hell your mama ever raised
Tried to tell ya but you've
Got to do things your own way
Susie was always coy prob'ly just
Goin' through some phase
You're the only hell Mama ever raised
You're the only hell Mama ever raised
Tried to tell ya but you've
Got to do things your own way
Mama says it's just a passing phase
Your the only hell your mama ever raised

Your voice is a song
Sweet and long
I sing along
Your eyes are like pools
Bright and cool
They see through fools
I'll never change my point of view
(I wanted you to know the truth)
That everything I'll ever do
I do for you
All for you
Your hands make me feel
Feel for real
Feel so healed
My love is so true
And my love is all for you
Your voice is a song
Sweet and long

Sometimes I wonder how I'd ever make it through
Through this world without having you, I just wouldn't have a clue
Cos sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me
And there’s no way of breaking free, and then I see you reach for me
Sometimes I wanna give up, wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you baby and everything's alright, everything's alright
When I see you smile, I can face the world
Oh, you know I can do anything
When I see you smile, I see a ray of light
Oh, I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile, baby when I see you smile at me, oh yeah
Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
What the touch of your hand can do, it's like nothing that I ever knew, hey
And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it, cos you're here with me now
And one look at you baby is all I'll ever need, it's all I'll ever need
When I see you smile, I can face the world
Oh, you know I can do anything
When I see you smile, I see a ray of light
Oh, I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile, baby
Baby, when I see you smile at me, oh yeah
Sometimes I wanna give up, I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you baby and everything's alright
Hey, everything's alright, so right
When I see you smile, I can face the world
Oh, you know I can do anything, yeah
When I see you smile, I see a ray of light
Oh, I see it shining right through the rain, yeah
When I see you smile, yeah I can face the world
Oh, you know I can do anything now
When I see you smile, oh yeah

My head is floating in the clouds
My feet are in the ocean
My body is earth bound
My mind is an explosion
Right on time with that line
I'm a kite up in the sky
I don't want to wonder why
Don't stray too far away
I want to feel like this forever
Vertigo
My soul has caught the perfect wave
My spirit is my lover
I hope it rains for forty days

This house used to feel so warm
The heater works but I'm chilled to the bone
Oh, this room never felt so big
There's not enough conversation to fill the empty spaces
Now how can you love someone and not know them at all?
It's a thin disguise, livin' our life behind a thin disguise
One of these days if I got the time
I'll show you what I'm like on the inside
I talked, you used to hear me so well
Now all the best conversations are with myself
Oh I wish I knew what's pullin' you away
But the space that's grown between us gets a little bigger everyday
How can you love someone and not know them at all?
It's a thin disguise, livin' our life behind a thin disguise
One of these days if I got the time
I'll show you what I'm like on the inside
It's a thin disguise, livin' our life behind a thin disguise
One of these days if I got the time
I'll show you what I'm like on the inside
It's a thin disguise, livin' our life behind a thin disguise, oh yea
It's a thin disguise, livin' our life behind a thin disguise, yea

Oh yeah
Just for the record let's get the story straight
Me and Uncle Tom were fishing it was getting pretty late
Out on a cypress limb above the wishin' well
Where they say it got no bottom, say it take you down to hell
Over in the bushes and off to the right
Come two men talkin' in the pale moon light
Sheriff John Brady and Deputy Hedge
Haulin' two limp bodies down to the water's edge
I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin, oh yeah
I know a secret that I just can't tell
They didn't see me and Tom in the trees
Neither one believing what the other could see
Tossed in the bodies, let 'em sink on down
To the bottom of the well where they'd never be found
I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin, oh yeah
I know a secret that I just can't tell
I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin
I know a secret that I just can't tell
I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin
Know who put the bodies in the wishin' well
Soon as they were gone me and Tom got down
Prayin' real hard that we wouldn't make a sound
Runnin' through the woods back to Uncle Tom's shack
Where the full moon shines through the roof tile cracks
Oh my God, Tom, who are we gonna tell?
The Sheriff he belongs in a prison cell
Keep your mouth shut that's what we're gonna do
Unless you wanna wind up in the wishin' well too?
I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin
I know a secret that I just can't tell
I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin, oh yeah
I know a secret that I just can't tell
I know a secret down in Uncle Tom's cabin
Know who put the bodies

(Lyrics : Jani Lane / Music : Jani Lane, Rick Steier and James Kottak)
I used to dream in technicolor
Now it¹s all gone black and white
I used to have myself a schedule
Now I stay awake all night
I wish I¹d seen this coming
But I don¹t have second sight
I should have found somebody else
Or built a wall around my heart
Spent the money in my wallet
On a ten foot bodyguard
Maybe then you leaving me
Would not have hit me
Quite so hard
Bridge
I wish that I could¹ve turned this around
Chorus
Been shot down / I¹m broken in pieces
All over the ground / been shot down
I¹m totally speechless / can¹t make a sound
Bridge 2
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Could never get my heart
Together again, it¹s smashed into pieces
And cast to the wind, I have to start

Get your party gown and get your pigtail down
And get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right I got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight
My little school babe
Your momma says you don't
And your daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Get your fanny out the door
I don't need him nosin' around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
'Go get outa my house you're such a dirty louse'
That's all I ever get from you
They cut me down to size
In fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Screamin' and fussin'
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Take your little brother swimmin'
With a brick that's all right
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine
You ain't no friend of mine
Your momma and your daddy
Gonna plague me till I die
I can't understand it
I'm a peaceful guy
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Get that big big big big big big
Fanny out the door
Tie your mother down yeah
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

Never get enough cause it's all you ever do.

The Bitter Pill
by Warrant
Sometimes I'm lost
And then I'm found
Sometimes I feel
Turned inside out
I'm often silent when I'm screaming inside
Instead of love
We tend to hate
We never quite
Appreciate
How much the other person cares or tries
Hold me close
Don't ever let me go
Cause I'm confused
But maybe someday I will know why
Sometimes I'm right as rain
And when it rains it pours
You're such a mystery
Why can't I unlock the door
All that glitters isn't gold
Too much is overkill
Love can be beautiful
Or a bitter pill
And when I'm right
I'm also wrong
We give and take
To get along
There's so much more to this than I ever dreamed
And when you smile
I have to laugh
And when you cry
I'm torn in half
So calm and yet so loose at the seams
Hold me close
Don't ever let me go
I'm confused
But maybe someday I will know why
Sometimes I'm right as rain
And when it rains it pours
You're such a mystery
Why can't I unlock the door
All that glitters isn't gold
Too much is overkill
Love can be beautiful
Or a bitter pill
Liebe kann eine bittere pille sein
Eine bittere pille
Liebe ist eine bittere pille
Eine bittere pille
Liebe kann eine bittere pille sein
Ich will ein bier
Ich will besoffen sein
Die ganze welt ist dumm
Mir steht es so im hals
Ich sage dir
Die liebe kann nur luge sein
Hold me close
Don't ever let me go
Cause I'm confused
But maybe someday I will know why
Sometimes I'm right as rain
And when it rains it pours
You're such a mystery
Why can't I unlock the door
All that glitters isn't gold
Too much is overkill
Love can be beautiful
Or a bitter pill

I've been thinking about this lately
I Feel we're growin old
This tears on my pillow and I know I'm not alone
I've been slow searching lately
And I think I found the hole
Lies in my heart and I know I'm not alone
Maybe it's this city all the glitter and the gold
Can't find our way here and we can't make it home.
Love your man and I need you to follow
We rearrange we're leaving tomorrow.
[Chorus:]
Tears in the city good night
Too less people you'll have to fight
Don't know if we're wrong but it's got to feel right
There'll be tears in the city tonight.
Bottles in the trash can and pills by the bed
Life and were livin if were livin with the dead
Don't get me wrong I've got you by my side
I know there's a reason we're run and we hide
I'm your man and I need you to follow
We rearrange we're leaving tomorrow.
[Chorus x2:]
Tears in the city good night
Too less people that you'll have to fight
Don't know if we're wrong but it's got to feel right
There'll be tears in the city tonight.
Tears in the city tonight.

(Lyrics : Jani Lane / Music : Jani Lane)
I held you for a moment in my hands
The moment with you slipped away like sand
Through my fingers now
In front of me a choice I have to make
To carry on or simply fade away
I lose you either way
I¹d like to say that it was easy, it was hard
To say goodbye, I thought that I would die
Chorus
Letting go of you, was so hard to
And I thought that it would kill me but I made
It through somehow, and I¹m so much stronger now
I gave to you my love and my respect
But I could never make you love me back
I denied it so
I grew bitter watching you grow cold
My life became your prison, took it¹s toll
I decided
Like a bird that¹s trapped
Inside a gilded cage
It¹s right to set it free,
Hurts to watch it

Right next door to the airport,
An hour from baton rouge.
There's a City on the Delta
Where they love to sing the blues.
A lady there I'm certain
She can make a man of you. Yeah.
There's a pretty little crucifix
That hangs above her bed.
The bottle she holds sacred
Cause it helps her to forget
But Jesus saves and liquor knows
That don't pay the rent.
She knows what you're lookin' for
And she can give to you.
And the mirror is an enemy.
It never tells the truth.
It used to be a good friend
That she never thought she'd lose.
Till it captured all over her innocence
And stole away her youth. Yeah.
All right.
She knows what you're lookin' for
And she can give it to you.
So if you want some southern comfort,
Come and get it boy, yeah.
Once you taste of southern comfort.
Oh, you'll be back for more
And with her lovin' touch
It wont take too much time to set you free.
A little southern comfort's all you need.
Oh it's all you need.
And a thousand people have walked your stairs
To knock upon your door
Each one brand new cross to bare
Each one harder than the one before
And I, bet you wished for something else
I bet you wished for a whole lot more
So if you want some southern comfort,
Come and get it boy, yeah.
Once you taste of southern comfort,
Ooh you'll be back for more, and
With her lovin' touch
It wont take too much time to set you free

Lisa don't think she's pretty no more
Starin' at the stars through a backstreet door
She tries and tries, make it all work out
No matter what she does
She left standin' in the middle of doubt
In a lonely night
And in the pourin' rain
You can count on me
Sometimes she cries
And she's alone at night
Sometimes she weeps
When she's feelin' cold and weak
Sometimes the pain
It just tears her up inside
Sometimes she cries
Ooh, I wonder why
Lisa don't have a lover no more
Plays with her pillow stares at the bedroom floor
Used to have a million, they've come and gone
No matter what she does
She can't figure out what she's doin' wrong
In a lonely night
And in the pourin' rain
You can count on me
Sometimes she cries
When she's alone at night
Sometimes she weeps
When she's feelin' cold and weak
Sometimes the pain
Oh it tears her up inside
Sometimes she cries
Ooh, yeah
Livin', lovin', givin' everything you've got
After all the heartache
Maybe give it all just one more shot girl
In a lonely night
And in the pourin' rain
The only thing I really wanna know is why
Sometimes she cries
And she's alone at night
Sometimes she weeps
Oh when she's feelin' cold and weak
Sometimes the pain
Oh it tears her up inside
Sometimes she cries

In between where I've been and everywhere that I want to be
One piece here and one chip there, I am broken beyond repair
Why should I care?
Soon you won't be able to see me at all
If the sun shines down on me tomorrow
Will it fill me up or leave me hollow?
Not quite disappearing altogether
I'm here but I'm never solid....
No one comes and no one calls
I might as well not be here at all
I crack up, I break down
On a ledge above solid ground

Sad Theresa
On your front porch swing
The lights are twinkling bright
Nobody's home
Umm, sweet country thing
With your dress hiked up to your knees
Waiting on a call
Faith, hope and charity
Oh Theresa, can I come over tonight?
Can I come over, come over?
Would your mother say its alright?
Oh Theresa, can I come over tonight?
Ballerina
On your bedroom door
Well I know that you've got dreams
I've got my own
Ooh ohh, maybe someday
I'll hit big city lights
But I'll never forget your face
Warm summer nights
Oh Theresa, can I come over tonight?
(Aaa aaa aah)
Can I come over, come over?
(Aaa aaa aah)
Would your mother say its alright?
Oh Theresa, can I come over?
(Aaa aaa aah)
I've always wanted to sing
And I've always wanted to be
(Aaa aaa aah)
Somebody's idol, somebody's daydream
Maybe their fantasy
Ohh yeah
Ohh oh Theresa, can I come over tonight?
(Aaa aaa aah)
Can I come over, come over?
(Aaa aaa aah)
Would your mother say its alright?
Oh Theresa, umm can I come over tonight?
(Aaa aaa aah)
Can I come over, come over?
(Aaa aaa aah)
Tonight the scene its so right
Oh Theresa, can I come over tonight?
(Aaa aaa aah)

We all start out as beautiful as spring
A midnight summers dream
So innocent we look upon ourselves
And we wish the whole world well
In the end we want it all
In the end we take it all
In the end apart it falls
In the end there's nothing
We bear no scar in our conscience
Clean and smooth
We kiss the breast of youth
As our eyesight fades with age
We put on horn-rimmed glasses
And we work our lives away
Buy the pearl

(Lyrics : Jani Lane / Music : Jani Lane, Jerry Dixon and Erik Turner)
I don¹t need love I just need gasoline
A broken line so I can pass the things
That try to slow me down or get in my way
I don¹t need someone holding on too tight
I¹d rather have a warm clear southern nite
Miles of empty road, wind in my face
Now this one wants a brand new picket fence
This one wants his wife to make sense
Neither one remembers ever being free
Now I control my life and destiny
Yes I am the king of everything I see
Never gonna suck my life away
Never gonna be a slave
Chorus
Give me a life to ride
Leave what I hate behind
Outta sight outta mind

Well the times are getting hard for you little girl
I'm a-hummin and a-strummin all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock-n-roll was
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line, yeah
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
The heater don't work and it's oh so cold
You're lookin tired you're lookin kinda beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how rock-n-roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Half way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eye she was giving what she got said
CHORUS:
My my my I'm once bitten twice shy baby
My my my I'm once bitten twice shy
My my my I'm once bitten twice shy baby
Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home You're messin around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town
You did know that rock-n-roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm you got the speed
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet I said
I didn't know you had a rock-n-roll record
Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one

It could have rained for forty weeks dear
I'd have never known the difference
When your life is one long downpour
You don't think you'll go the distance
You come along with a patch of blue sky
Inside your arms I found a place that's warm
And dry
Mister Rainmaker don't waste your time
I found a girl who is permanent sunshine
She is the little queen of all my dreams
Carry on and find someone else to rain on
Love never rained down on me dear
Only heartache and problems
Now through your arms I can see clear
It's only been raining water
You came along with a patch of blue sky
Inside your arms I found a place that's
Warm and dry
Mister Rainmaker don't waste your time
I found a girl who is permanent sunshine
She is the little queen of all my dreams
Carry on and find someone else to rain on
Mister Rainmaker don't waste your time
I found a girl who is permanent sunshine
She is the little queen of all my dreams

Machine Gun
by Warrant
Well, the first time that I saw you
I could not speak a word
My tongue was tied in giant knots
And I felt so disturbed
At the feeling rushing through me
The heat inside my veins
At the way my nerve ends tingle
Every time you call my name
I've got a lust ignited fever
And I can't put out the flame
Next time that I saw you
I felt so at ease
You had a languid disposition
I had an willingness to please
And your candy apple red lips
Full of violets and sex
Had me harder than a coal train
Had my collar wringing wet
Now I'm gonna crash and burn
But I'm not finished yet
My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun
You're a symphony of elegance
A masterpiece of grace
And animated work of art
Who's acquired a taste
For the flesh of weaker lovers
Lie down on their backs
To be ridden at your leisure
And be taken off like hats
I'm not here for you to walk on
And I'm not your welcome mat
My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun
A machine gun, yeah
The first time that I saw you
I could not speak a word
My tongue was tied in giant knots
And I felt so disturbed
At the feeling rushing through me
The heat inside my veins
At the way my nerve ends tingle
Every time you call my name
I've got a lust ignited fever
And I can't put out the flame
My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun
Ma-ma-ma-machine gun

(Lyrics : Lani Lane / Music : Jani Lane, Rick Steier, Erik Turner and James Kottak)
I don¹t want to be
I don¹t want to see
You so happily, hangin¹ around
A X-mas tree
I don¹t want to know
But I don¹t want to go
Before I start to share
How much I think I really care
I don¹t want to walk, I don¹t want to talk,
I can¹t offer you anything pretty with a view,
I¹m not growing up
I¹m just getting old
It¹s so fucking cold
Anywhere even close to you
Chorus
In your mouth, in your mind, in your body
From behind, in your heart, in your dreams
Inside of you until you scream

LIFE’S A SONG:
LIFE’S A PAPER TO THE FLAME
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
IT’S THE MEMORIES TRAPPED INSIDE
WE SEE ANYTHING THAT WE WANT TO SEE
BUT ALL WE'RE REALLY HOPING FOR
IS SOMEONE WILL LOVE US
IT’S THE STEP WE MAKE WHEN WE GIVE AND TAKE
IT’S LOVED ONES GONE THAT DID NOTHING WRONG
WHEN ALL THEY REALLY NEEDED WAS SOMEONE TO LISTEN
WITHOUT CONDITIONS
LIFE’S A PAPER TO THE FLAME
IT'S A CRAZY FOOLS GAME
LIFE’S A SWEET SONG
WITH OUTLAWS AND ANGELS
MAKES US CRY BUT WE SING ALONG
LIFE IS A SONG
IT’S A CIGARETTE AFTER MAKING LOVE
IT’S A RAINY DAY ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
WHEN ALL YOU REALLY WANTED WAS BLUE SKIES AND RAINBOWS
IT’S A MUSTARD STAIN ON YOUR BABY’S DRESS
IT’S THE FLOWERS LAID WHEN WE’RE LAID TO REST
IT FEELS LIKE HEAVEN IS FALLING
LIFE’S A PAPER TO THE FLAME
IT’S CRAZY FOOLS GAME
LIFE’S A SWEET SONG
WITH OUTLAWS AND ANGELS
MAKES US CRY BUT WE SING ALONG
WE'RE ALL DEGENERATES - WORKING CLASS
YEAH, WE KNOW WHO WE ARE NOW
AND THE MORE THINGS HURT THE MORE THEY LAST
IT’S THE MEMORIES TRAPPED INSIDE
WE SEE ANYTHING THAT WE WANT TO BE
BUT ALL WE'RE REALLY HOPING FOR IS SOMEONE WILL LOVE US
LIFE’S A SWEET SONG
WITH OUTLAWS AND ANGELS
MAKES US CRY BUT WE SING ALONG
LIFE IS A SONG
(OUTLAWS AND ANGELS)
LIFE IS A SONG
(Oh oh)
LIFE IS A SONG
(MAKES US CRY, MAKES US CRY)
LIFE IS A SONG
LIFE’S A PAPER TO THE FLAME

I'm alive and you're alive
And don't we both deserve to be happy?
We realize we're not the same
So no one here should take the blame,
It's o.k. to walk away and live to love another day,
This is not a fairytale
This is life
And sometimes life fails
Thought I'd let you know
Just before you go
It's alright
Make your brand new start
But keep me in your heart and you'll be fine
That's reality
As water flows beneath the bridge
We're learning how to forgive,
As milk spreads out across the floor
We both agree it's not worth fighting for
Nothings perfect except for God
and a California sunset,
So we're not perfect it doesn't mean we're bad
There's a place in the sun for everyone
You've just got to find it
Good luck with yours

Once we were so close we were fused,
Belly to belly
And now we're standing back to back
It's strange that we should be feuding
Once we were so close we were joined,
Forehead to forehead
Now we live in our own little worlds
We don't speak the same language
Who am I? I am you and I
Who are you? You are me too
Who are we? We are you and me
Who are they? They don't matter anyway
Once we were so close we held hands
Into the evening
Now we drift into a pea soup fog
We're lost in different directions

Last night I had a dream about you
And how you fit in my naked life
Mistakes, I guess I made a few
Here and there and from time to time
Yeah, oh yeah, I know, Lord I dreamed about it
Every detail in every move
I'm sure, there's no doubt about it
I'm trying to break through to you
I've tried several other people
Came close a few times but then
It just broke down, I wont lie, I wont kid about it
Merry come 'round and 'round
Hey love, hold me close pull me in, don't let go
Faith and love, aren't enough I should know, give me hope
Let it show I think you know how to make me feel high
All, all that I want is a moment of your precious time
And all, all it would take is let me come over to your side

Got a picture of your house
And you're standing by the door
It's black and white and faded
And it's looking pretty worn
See the factory that I worked
Silhouetted in the back
The memories are gray
But man, they're really coming back
I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as, I'm the hero of this little girl
Heaven, isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends might say
How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like a blue suburban sky
When I come home late at night
And you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe
I don't need to be a superman
As long as, you will always be my biggest fan
Heaven, isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way, yeah
Now the lights are going out
Along the boulevard
The memories come rushing back
And it makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you
Heaven, isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends say
I know we're gonna find a way
Heaven
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Heaven
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Heaven
It's not too far away, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah

Love is a game of war
Ohhh ya ya
I dont need anyone especially
someone who leads me on
if you want a piece of me come on
all i want is all i need
little bit lovin guaranteed
and i dont know
and i dont know if i care where im going
ohh how can you change it
i dont know i dont know i dont knowww
aint that strange when
you rather be making love
Chours
We are like a game of war
we both try to hide it
why dont we just call it a draw
i dont want to play it anymore...anymore
shoot me once,shoot me twice
feels like im walking through a field of mines
one wrong step and ha goodbye
well come come on dont be shy
i hate you,you hate me
i guess it ends in a tie
let it be a game of war
start all over ya
ohh how can you change it
i dont know i dont know i dont knowww
aint that strange when
youd rather be making love
Chours
We are like a game of war
we both try to hide it
why dont we just call it a draw
i dont want to play it anymore...anymore
ohhh yaaaya
Chours
We are like a game of war
we both try to hide it
why dont we just call it a draw
i dont want to play it anymore
whaaaahooo love is war

Take everything that I own
My destination's unknown
If I started to yell
Could you even tell
Would it do any good
Mr. Misunderstood
I'm not asking for change
I know it sounds strange
But it feels kinda good,
Feeling this bad
I'm invincible
At my all-time low
And it feels good,
Yeah feeling this bad
I'm at the end of my rope
I just remembered a joke
Have you heard the one...

(Lyrics : Jani Lane, Rick Steier and Beau Hill / Music : Rick Steier and James Kottak)
Mother should know father should go
Battered dreams and broken bones
Living hell when he¹s at home
Fell so much pain
I¹m not to blame
Cannot move cannot breathe
He should die instead of me
Some break away
Some choose to stay
But every scream kept inside
Leaves a scar either way
Chorus
We are on our own
We all die alone
Black eyes broken truth
I¹m still bleeding from a wasted youth

I keep talking to myself but the words sound like someone else
I'm ready to bleed all the shit from my veins
I'm willing to plead for a cure to the pain
And I am amazed that I'm still semi-sane
I'm falling down, my world is spinning round
It feels like I'm flying, the feeling is lying
I'm falling down, falling down
I am a monster, I'm not well
No mirrors, so I cannot tell
There's a zoo on my back
And a cloud on my soul
Where I once had a heart,
There's a bottomless hole,
I wish I could get back an ounce of control
I can't see beauty in anything
I can't tell where I'm tripped up,
Where I fell
I'm a piece of candy cane wedged tightly in a drain,

She's got an iron will
She's gonna do what she thinks is right
I know she will
And as for me I'm not that silent
It's hard to live in a world this quiet
And if you want me to let you go
Well I think you should know
That I tried hard to live without you
But it doesn't work for me
And I tried not to think about you
But your in all my dreams
I can't stand living on my own
I can't stand staring into space
I hate that everything I see turns into your face
She left an empty house
Without a word, without a sound
Without a shout
And as for me I'm not that silent
It's hard to live in a world this quiet
And if you want me to let you go
Well I think you should know
That I tried hard to live without you
But it doesn't work for me
And I tried not to think about you
But your in all my dreams
I can't stand living on my own
I can't stand staring into space
I hate that everything I see turns into your face
My teary eyes have seen all I wanna see
Of the world
I tried hard to live without you
But it doesn't work for me
And I tried not to think about you
But your in all my dreams
I can't stand living on my own
I can't stand staring into space
I hate that everything I see turns into your face

(Lyrics : Jani Lane / Music : Jani Lane and Rick Steier)
I need some room to breathe
Listen, speak and follow free
Socially a refugee
I need some room to breathe
They want into my head
I push them out instead
Tear me into tiny pieces
They want into my head
Chorus
Trapped inside this place
I can¹t move, it¹s like living in a crawlspace
Bridge
I try to find myself a way out
But they come from all directions
So, unsure, I¹ll just stay here in

I've got alligator shoes
And I've beeb makin' news
I've got plenty of women
I've got plenty of booze
(Give me a shot)
Walked into the spot light
At the local bar and grill
Find a down and dirty woman
Well I'm gonna take my fill
Look right into her bloodshot eyes and
Scream my honey, I'm gonna make you mine
I paid the tab
I called a cab
Went back to my place
Had a hell of a time
I get excited
I feel loose
I move to quick and I get
Caught in your noose
(And I sweat)
Every time that we touch
(And I sweat)
I get the chills up and down my spine
(Cold sweat)
You bet, you bet
Its a midnight stage freight
Ice cold sweat
Ooh we went home
All alone
Then we turned down the lights
And unplugged the phone
Well I'm a snake
But I'm no liar
Makin' love to me is like
Pouring gasoline on a fire
I feel loose
I move to quick and I get caught in your noose
(And I sweat)
Every time that we touch
(And I sweat)
I get the chills up and down my spine
(Cold sweat)
You bet, you bet
Its a midnight stage freight
Ice cold
All I want is a little action
Ooh a little bit of satisfaction
You beat me down
Then kick me out
So scream and shout
And shout shout
Oh yeah
Then I sweat
(Sweat)
Then I sweat
(Sweat)
Then I sweat
(Sweat)
Then I sweat
Sweat
(Cold sweat)
(Cold sweat)
I get the feeling every time
We fu fu fu fu fu
(Cold sweat)
You bet you bet
(Cold sweat)

So you think my exterior seems a little out of focus
Because I don't talk in cliches that people try to use to stroke us
I don't care too much for clicks and gangs and little sewing circles
If you want a place in this rat race I say run out and join the circus
If you look inside my head
You will see things that you probably shouldn't see
Because my outside is off-center
But I guarantee it's stranger inside of me
Have you ever felt like pulling your insides out
Cause they're burning
You feel caged like an animal that wants to fuck
And you're yearning for something strange, unexpected
Unexplainable to happen

(Lyrics : Jani Lane / Music : Jani Lane and Rick Steier)
You speak from both sides of your mouth
I tried to work it out
You hated me all along
I tried to get along
You talk to much for me
It¹s verbal therapy
I don¹t need words to fight with you
Just my left and civil right with you
Bridge
Make up your mind
Stop wasting my time
Chorus
Then the storm broke
And the rain fell
Then the flood came
Made the river swell
Then the dam broke
I just let it go
I was pulled down
