All My Kisses



I was just a kid at school, I had a lot to learn.
I had a bad boy jacket and all my old man's money to burn.
Wide eyed girls from the villa on the other side.
Well, all my kisses are yours tonight (all my kisses are yours)
Well, all my kisses are yours tonight.

Seventeen in the city finally got a place of my own.
There was an older woman in my building and she lived all alone.
She had these legs that were soft as candlelight.
Well, all my kisses are yours tonight (all my kisses are yours)
Well, all my kisses are yours tonight.

Touch, touch, kiss, kiss, come get it that easy.
She wants exactly what she likes.
Touch, touch, kiss, kiss, come drive me crazy.
She's not gonna touch you for the rest of your life.
And all my kisses are yours tonight.

Please, baby, please
Get it right girl .

(Bridge)

Kiss the girls in Cadillacs (rapped)
Kiss the girls in Fords  
Kiss the girls with secrets behind closed doors.

Kiss with a stranger made everything alright.
All my kisses are yours tonight (all my kisses are yours)
All my kisses are yours tonight (oh, all my, all my )
All my kisses are yours tonight_______.

All Night Long




The wind is blowin'                                    Now the whiskey's workin'
The wind is blowin'                                    The whiskey's workin'
The oak tree breaks                                    I got no job
The whole shack shakes                             And the money's gone
And the wind is blowin'                              But the whiskey's workin'
And my pretty baby                                   And my pretty baby's laughin'
Is moanin' all night long                              All night long
     
The snow is fallin'                                     Now she curl up softly
The snow is fallin'                                     Now she curl up softly
The wood ain't cut                                    Put her head to rest
And the shed is bare                                  Upon my chest
The snow is fallin'                                     Yeah, she curl up softly
But my pretty baby's                                 And my pretty baby holds me
Burnin' all night long                                  All night long
     
Now, if I was a rich man                           Now the dogs are barkin'
Now, if I was a rich man                           Now the dogs are barkin'
I'd move her out to Birmingham                 All night long
If I was a rich man                                   Back to hell and gone
And my pretty baby's                                Now the dogs are barkin'
Dreamin' all night long                               But my pretty baby's purrin'
                                                              All night long
Now the baby's cryin'   
Now the baby's cryin'                               Another day is comin'
I do the best I can                                    Another day is comin'
With these two hands                               And the sun will rise
But the baby's cryin'                                 In my baby's eyes
And his pretty mama's rockin'                   Another day is comin'
All night long                                           And my pretty baby loves me
                                                              All night long
Yeah, her hands are clappin'    
Yeah, her hands are clappin'                      All night long
I shout and sing   
And blow that thing   
And her hands are clappin'   
Yeah, my pretty baby's dancin' 
All night long

Alone With You




I got nothin' to keep me up.                         I need one night alone with you
I got nothin' underneath my wings.             Got a hammer in my heart to break on through
Don't need nothin' to make me tough.        Got the pieces of a dream to make 'em true
Don't need nothin' to make me swing.        I need one night alone with you.

Don't need no one to have a hold.               I need one night alone with you
Don't need chains of solid gold.                 Got a hammer in my heart to break on through
Don't need money I'd only burn.                Got the pieces of a dream to make 'em true
Nothing lost, nothing earned.                      I need one night alone with you.

I need one night alone with you.
Got a hammer in my heart to break on through.
Got the pieces of a dream to make 'em true.
I need one night alone with you.

Don't need limos or fast red cars,
Neon lights or movie stars.
Don't need alligator high-heeled boots,
Gold lame sharkskin suits.

I don't need whiskey or crack cocaine,
I don't need nothin' to ease my pain.
Don't call the doctor if you see me bleed,
The doctor don't know what I need.

I need one night alone with you.
Got a hammer in my heart to break on through.
Got the pieces of a dream to make 'em true.
I need one night alone with you.

(Bridge/Instrumental)

Got some to burn out in acid rain.
Strange organisms in my brain.
Skies fallin' in a field of funk.
Just people livin' on highway junk

Genocide is goin' through the roof .
Just count the bodies if you need the proof.
Pretty soon everything will be gone.

Arms of Love




As the fog rolls into my street light
I tips me hat to the moon
Music plays in the cabaret
The painted singer croons.

I creep away into the night
I break a heart so cruel
I creep away into the night
The arms of love are cool

Strike a match for Marlena
Faces jump in the dark
She's as blue as an old tattoo
Where Jimmy boy left his mark

I creep away into the night
I break a heart so cruel
I creep away into the night
The arms of love are cool

Ships they sail for Val Hala
Ships collide in the night
Red stripe Boy down in the sea
His heart's upon the knife

I creep away into the night
I break a heart so cruel
I creep away into the night
The arms of love are cool

The arms of love are cool

The Ballad of John F. Fahey




Woke up this mornin'                                 I aimed my weapon
To the call of the crow                               I was dizzy and sick
Knew it would be no good                          It's the moment that all cops hate
Heard the sparrow                                      But when I heard his automatic click
Like a baby cryin' in the cottonwood  
                                                                I didn't hesitate
The sun come up                                       My gun went off and a man went down
I made love to my wife                               Money flyin' all over the place
Then I strapped on my gun                         When the smoke cleared
I had a feelin' that the day ahead                  I went over
It was an ominous one                               And pulled the mask off his face
     
Back at the office                                      Awooooo
My desk was a mess                                 Awooooo
Secretary's gettin' so old  
I shuffled papers                                       I'm John F. Fahey, chief of police
And answered the phone and                      The law around this town
Drank my coffee cold                                Today I went in and turned in my badge
                                                               And laid my weapon down
I got a picture of my wife and kids 
Up on the gray metal file                             I'm John F. Fahey, chief of police
One of my sons runs a grain elevator            I love my family
The other one just runs wild                        I'm stayin' in a rented room tonight
                                                                In a house on Cherry Street
Awooooo    
Awooooo                                                   Now I can't change it
                                                                 Can't drink it away
The call came in at quarter to ten                  Can't even look at my wife
Ran out and lit up the car                             It's as bad as things can get
Made it to Sherburne                                   For a man
In two minutes flat                                      When he takes his own son's life
     
Pulled up outside the bar                              Wish I could turn back the hands of time
The owner was layin'                                  If I could turn it around
On the sidewalk cryin'                                 I'd be lyin' in that pool of blood
With a bullet hole in his side                         And he'd be leavin' town
     
He said 'he's in there and                              There's just one moment
He's got a gun.'                                           In ev'ry man's life
And then he just                                          He can never forget
Curled up and died                                      There's just one moment
                                                                That won't go away
                                                                 He only lives to regret

I Ran up the alley                                        I'm John F. Fahey, chief of police
I snuck around back                                   The law around this town
Slid in the service door                                Today I went in and turned in my badge
There was a man in a mask                         And laid my weapon down
With a gun in his hand  
Pickin' money up off the floor                     Awooooo
                                                                Awooooo
I drew my weapon     
I Told him 'don't  move'
Or I would blow him away  
I saw him turnin'   
In the dim bar of light   
As he went to make his play

Be My Girl




Well, I'm lying in a plate of shadows.
Thinkin' 'bout the wars and the bars and the beers
I'm livin' dazed and I lift my head.
Fly on the wall hears what she hears you say

I wanna hear you say you'll be my girl
I wanna hear you say you'll be my girl
I wanna hear you say you'll be my girl______.

When I'm livin' in the south of France.
Sex on the beach and wild moonlight
Well, I'm sinkin' with a drink in my hand
Drowning in the sea, I will see the light of day_____.

I wanna hear you say you'll be my girl
I wanna hear you say you'll be my girl
I wanna hear you say you'll be my girl______.

Sometimes you never come around, nothing, never.
Sometimes you always let me down, oh, ever.

I wanna hear you say

Blowin' in the Wind




How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Blue Mountain




There's children in the water                        We only kill what we eat
Down by the sea plane dock                        And we leave nothin' but bone
Old man whittlin' a black bear                      That old Blue Mountain
From a cedar block                                    That's my home
     
Hippies carryin' backpacks                          I've seen you at the diner
They got the wings to fly                            I've seen you at the bar
Lookin' for a patch of blue                          You always talk too loud
In the iron Adirondack skies                        And you always push too far
     
Look around, all you see                             You ought to learn some manners
Is a stack of stone                                      Show a little more respect
That old Blue Mountain                               Some of these boys might get upset
That's my home                                         And take your ass out back
     
Back there in the city                                  You got a million friends
You're come kind of wheel                          How come you're here all alone?
You come up to the country                        That old Blue Mountain
Try to make some shady deal                      That's my home
     
You can build your mansion                         Well, it's mighty pretty country
On the sacred burial ground                         And it all belongs to God
Them spirits gonna rise up some night          You cut the trees and drain the swamp
Burn that baby down                                   And fill it up with sod
     
We got ancient blood                                  Can't live without your fast food
And we take care of our own                      And your picture-in cell phone
That old Blue Mountain                               Why the hell did you come up here?
That's my home                                         You should have just stayed home
     
You must have made a wrong turn               We can live off of spit
You best be movin' on                                And a pitch pine cone
Don't put your feet up, boy                         That old Blue Mountain
Where they don't belong                             That's my home
     
You might get into trouble                           I know you think you're clever
We'll take it into town                                 Been to school and read a book
The judge he won't be gentle                       How come you always look like
When he brings his hammer down               A dead fish on a hook?
     
You got a call, but the storm                       You say you've been to college
Just took out the phone                               But you're short on common sense
That old Blue Mountain                               Hung up like a scarecrow
That's my home                                         On a rusty barb-wire fence
     
(Bridge)                                                    On the other side
                                                                Of the twilight zone
You can ride that wild river                         That old Blue Mountain
Hear the thrushes song                               That's my home
But you got no business here  
To tell us right from wrong                        That's my home
                                                               That's my home
I got a pile of old cars                                That's my home
And busted oil tanks                                   That's my home
A trail of trash a mile long                           Hmm, hmm, hmm
Down to the river bank

Boathouse




The water's risin' underneath the floors
Thrown like jackets on the door
Last light's chasin' a silent moon
An old wolf cries at a crazy loon

And I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse
I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse
I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse tonight

I came home drunk and I bumped my head
That woman kicked me right out of bed
I stumbled down that long board walk
Never does much good to talk

And I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse
I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse
I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse tonight

Now there ain't no sirens and there ain't no cars
No slammin' doors, or closing bars
Just Indian roads and a sweet guitar
This home it sits out under the stars

And I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse
I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse
I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse tonight

I've lived on water my whole life
I like my women salty and my knots tied tight
I rise with the sun and I ride with the wind
I'm the favorite son of the state of Maine

And I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse
I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse
I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse tonight

I've got a four-faced Crisscraft on the right
Got ropes hung out on boats outside
I got a soggy home and no street near the end
Now it hasn't been for the water man

And I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse
I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse
I'm sleepin' out in a boathouse tonight

Now the whole town rises on glass
She says come back on in what's passed is past
I wrapped it up in an old oilskin
Take a long drive out here and rocked his boat

And we're sleepin' out in a boathouse
Year, we're sleepin' out in a boathouse
We're sleepin' out in a boathouse tonight

Born to Fly




As the dust, settles down
And the sun, comes around

Little baby, don't you cry
You were born, born to fly

On your wings, made of steel
Let the wind, be all you feel

Like the colors, in the sky
You were born, born to fly

Let the rain, wash away
All the fears, and yesterdays

Let a song, be the tears you cry
You were born, born to fly

Don't look back, or look down
Over country, or town

As you soar, up on high
You were born, born to fly

For the victim, who fell
For the story, left to tell

Of the hero, bound by fate to die
You were born, born to fly

You were born, born to fly
You were born, born to fly

(Sittin Like a) Bump on a Log



I think I ve been in the woods too long
I think it s time for me to come back out
I think I sang one too many lonesome songs
Now I got no one left to sing about

There s moss on the rocks and ferns on the moss
Mushrooms growin on the ground
Little green men holding blue umbrellas
That open when the rains come down

There s faces on the trees and there s faces in the water
And little bitty fish and frogs
I think I ve been in the woods too long
Sittin like a bump on a log

I think I ve been in the hills too long
I think it s time that I come back down
My hands are tough and my back is strong
But my mind s on that sweet young thing back in town

There s moss on the rocks and ferns on the moss
Mushrooms growin on the ground
Little green men holding blue umbrellas
That open when the sun shines down

I think I ve been on my own too long
Talkin to myself like a babbling brook
Back in your bed that s where I belong
My blue jeans hangin on your hook

There s faces on the trees and there s faces in the water
And little bitty fish and frogs
I think I ve been in the woods too long
Sittin like a bump on a log

Sittin like a bump on a log

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.

They always made you feel so bad
Now that they're gone you feel so glad
You cried til you danced all night

Change reaction it's on you.
You're a domino

Cherokee Moon




The stars are shinin'                                   The neon lights are sizzlin'
In the Carolina night                                   The casino's runnin' flush
Or is it just the cabins                                 The corn crop is fizzlin'
Lightin' up the mountain side                       But the wall-to-wall is plush
     
Where lovers sleep like silver spoons            And I'm stayin' in a semi-deluxe room
Under the Cherokee moon                           Under the Cherokee moon
     
If I said I'm sorry                                      Your buckskins tattered
It wouldn't be enough                                 Ancient parchment torn
I know you're unhappy                               Old folks are dyin'
I know times are tough                               Nobody's bein' born
     
Listen to the old coyote's croon                   They took away a little too much
Under the Cherokee moon                           too soon
                                                                Under the Cherokee moon
The trailer park's on fire   
The dogs out on the road                            The end is drawing near
And if you don't stop drinkin'                       To your trail of tears
Your whole world might explode                  The chariot swings low
                                                                 Down on your sacred road
Out on the lake                                           Under the Cherokee moon
You're laughing like a loon  
Under the Cherokee moon                            Once I had a pony
                                                                 I rode him 'til he dropped
The end is drawing near                              Once I had a vision
To your trail of tears                                   And then the music stopped
The chariot swings low  
Down on your sacred road                          And little sparrow flew away last June
Under the Cherokee moon                           Under the Cherokee moon

Comin Back For You




The sky's baby blue                                   I was runnin' games in Detroit
Turnin' pink around the edges                     And smoke from the Bahamas
The sun is headin' west                              I wound up on that county road
Over the wild blue hedges                          Wearin' it's striped pajamas
     
Nights are turnin' cold                                Now I'm comin' clean
And they last a little longer                          And I'm makin' my repents
All the birds are flyin' south                        Doin' time away from you
And my heart is beatin' stronger                  Was my cruel, cruel sins
     
You say the summer's over                         Freedom's just another word
But the Indians all know                             For everything you lose
It's comin' 'round again                              It's comin' 'round again
And I'm comin' back for you                      And I'm comin' back for you
     
Sometimes you're runnin' dry                     I'm layin' down some rubber
But you gotta go on livin'                           And I'm puttin' down the pedal
And all you got to give                               I'm burnin' through the night
Are the gifts that you were given                In twenty tons of heavy metal
     
You're turnin' out your pockets                  The radio's playin'
Waitin' at the station                                  And I'm ridin' with the music
You want to get on board                           Got that old-time lovin' feelin'
But you got no reservation                          Baby, I don't want to lose it
      
I rode that train without you                       You can say it's sentimental
And a lonely whistle blew                           You can say it's deja vu
But it's comin' 'round again                         But I'm comin' 'round again
And I'm comin' back for you                      And I'm comin' back for you
     
Once you said you were  
My biggest fan   
When I was burnin' out on rock 'n roll
And one-night stands   
     
The stars went shootin' by me 
And I never had a clue  
But they're comin' 'round again 
And I'm comin' back for you

The Cool Life




She's waiting in a terminal                                      Living the cool life.
Her skin is smooth as tile                                       Living the cool life.
Her raincoat is reversible                                       Living the cool life.
But her tears are out of style                                  Living the cool life.

She's living in a wealthy world                               I'm living the cool life.
With so much to offer                                          Living the cool life.
Her love is a game of chance                                 Living the cool life.
I won her and I lost her                                        I'm living the cool life.

But I'm alright, I'm living the cool life                     I'm living the cool life.
Living the cool life.                                               I'm living the cool life
And it's cool.                                                        I'm living the___, ooh, cool!
And it's cool.                                                        Say, I'm living the cool life.

I'm sleeping with my telephone,                             I'm living the cool life
I wake to my TV.
I'm searching for the microphone,
I know they can see me.

I'm living in a wealthy world,
With so much to offer.
Our love is a game of chance,
I won her and I lost her.

But I'm alright, I'm living the cool life
Living the cool life.
And it's cool.
And it's cool.

She is a pure white horse.
She is a negative.
She is a beautiful mutation.
I'm a give me a cigarette,
I'm a get down tonight,
I'm a walkin' danger.
Out to make some penetration

Darling




She comes from anywhere U S A                            When she calls me
She knows how to walk and talk that way.               That's what she calls me
In New York she calls it her hometown,                   When she calls me darling
Could've been born in a real town.                           That's what she
                                                                            That's what she calls me
She's one of the wild children  
She laughs at the cage she lives in                            Darling
Darling, she calls me darling                                    Darling_____________
She calls me darling                                               That's what she
She calls me darling.                                               What she calls me

Her limousine's flying in the rain.
She's drinking the finest pink champagne.
All tired of the money and her friends
In a world where the parties never end.

She's one of the wild children
She laughs at the cage she lives in
Darling, she calls me darling
She calls me darling
I might as well be the man on the moon

(Bridge )

Darling, she calls me darling
She calls me darling
She calls me darling

The taxis are lining up at ten,
The theater it all belongs to them.
On a string of sparkling diamond rings,
She walks with the princes and the kings.

She's one of the wild children
She laughs at the cage she lives in
Darling, she calls me darling
She calls me darling
She calls me darling
That's what she calls me

Darling, she calls me darling
She calls me darling
She calls me darling

Don’t Take My Baby Away From Me



I had my baby for a long, long time
Seen her changing
And it affects my mind
I love my baby for better or worse
I'd fight for her heart,
'Cause that's what she's worth

Don't take my baby away from me
Don't take my baby away from me
You can't take her away from me
Don't try to take my baby

(saxophone solo)

Hold my baby and I whisper low
Look for answers that I used to know
You got my baby thinkin' things
She never thought
You got her thinkin' things
Like a candy bar

Don't take my baby away from me
Don't take my baby away from me
You can't take her away from me
Don't try to take my baby

You come around here in your fancy suit
With your big bad car
And your little toot toot

But it ain't much, oh, can't you see
That love ain't blind
And it's a world plan

Don't take my baby away from me
Don't take my baby away from me
You can't take her away from me
Don't try to take my baby

(bridge)




I had my baby for a long, long time
Seen her fallin' for a brand new line
I love my baby for better or worse
I'd fight for her heart,
I don't care if it hurts

Don't take my baby away from me
Don't take my baby away from me
You can't take her away from me
Don't try to take my baby

Don't take my baby away from me
Don't take my baby away from me
You can't take her away from me
Don't try to take my baby

Don't take my baby
Don't take my baby
Can't take her
Don't try to take my baby

Don't take my baby away from me
Don't take my baby away from me
You can't take her away from me

Don’t You Wanna Dance with Me





Lookin' out your window, you're lookin' in your mirror
Look at all the eyes, out inside clearer

You know you're gonna lose, and if you try to keep her
Full of broken hearts, and prices getting' cheaper

You don't have to play the game if the game gets hot
You don't have to dance when the music starts
You don't have to take off  because it's free

Little doll don't you wanna dance with me?
Don't you wanna dance?
Little darling don't you wanna dance with me?

Workin' on your problem, the answer's getting' clearer
Blow that broken heart, prices getting dearer

Scratchin' in the back seat, radio's blastin'
Makin' you forget the questions you been askin'

You don't have to play the game if the game gets hot
You don't have to dance when the music starts
You don't have to take off because it's free

Darling don't you wanna dance with me?
Don't you wanna dance?
Little darling don't you wanna dance with me?

I don't want to win or lose, I don't want to pick and choose
If it's just a game, who wants to play?

I don't want to lead you on take you back where you belong
If it's just a game anyway

(bridge)

If it's just a game

Get a little force, really got it jumpin'
Lookin' for the beat, the party needs a pumpin'

Lookin' for the groove it's given from above you
But it doesn't prove anybody loves you

You don't have to play the game if the game gets hot
You don't have to dance when the music starts
You don't have to take off because it's free

Darling don't you wanna dance with ?

You don't have to play the game if the game gets hot
You don't have to dance when the music starts
You don't have to take off  because it's free


Little darling don't you wanna dance with me?

Don't you wanna dance?
Little darling don't you wanna dance with me?

Don't you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance?

It was just a game to me It was just a game to me
It was just a game to me It was just a game

You don't have to play the game
You don't have to play the game
Baby, you don't have to play the game
No, no, no You don't have to play the game

Little darling

End of the Line




The whistle's blowin' far, far away
It's midnight in the middle of the day
On empty streets the blank-eyed zombies stroll
Singin' low in ragtime jelly roll
Lookin' for a place they'll never find
Down at the end of the line

Skeleton cab driver nods his head
He don't hear a single word you said
A hula girl is dancin' on the dash
The tape deck's playin' unplugged Johnny Cash
And he can't read the rusty twisted signs
Down at the end of the line

Down at Tombstone City you can't fail
They're puttin' on their year-end blow-out sale
And don't forget your lifetime guarantee
It's over when you walk in off the street
You're makin' payments until the end of time
Down at the end of the line

They're closin' up at Blackie's Barr and Grill
Outside the wolves are howlin' on the hill
It's ten below and your pickup truck won't start
You stumble down the road into the dark
Where hungry eyes are watchin' from the pines
Down at the end of the line

Escalator of Life




They got my Mazda at the E-Z Park It
At the rock 'n roll supermarket
Muzak-music makes me feel so funny
I went and spent all my money

We're riding on the escalator of life
We're shopping in the human mall.
We're dancing on the escalator of life
Won't be happy til we have it all.

We want it all!
Escalator of life-up and down.
Escalator of life-round and round.

There's a hundred and eleven choices
Don't listen to those little voices.
I don't let the guilty feeling shake me
You can have your cake and eat it baby

We're riding on the escalator of life
We're shopping in the human mall.
We're dancing on the escalator of life
Won't be happy til we have it all.

We want it all!
Escalator of life-up and down.
Escalator of life-round and round    

(Bridge)

Hey girl! I'm a personal friend of Gloria Vanderbilt        (this verse rapped)
I got all the gold in the world around my neck!
Come ride the steel dinosaur.                                    
Run wild in the jungle, it's a Zulu nation!
Seduction, sacrifice, a new sensation
Nothin' ever changes!

We're riding on the escalator of life
We're shopping in the human mall.
We're dancing on the escalator of life
Won't be happy til we have it all.

We want it all!

Everybody’s Talkin’



Everybody's yakkin', everybody's yellin'
Nobody's listenin' 'cause ev'rybody's tellin' you

What to do with with the only life you've got
Well, everybody's talkin' and I'd rather not

Everybody's screechin', everybody's cryin'
Everybody's preachin', everybody's lyin'

God up in heaven is goin' out of his mind
He's prayin' you people will just shut up some time

He comes the news man, gather 'round the news van
Rumor's goin' 'round, he's got the actual facts

He's up there on TV givin' me the L.D.
Really disagree, but I can't talk back

Everybody's jokin', everybody's laughin'
Everybody's chokin', everybody's gaspin'

A hot wind's blowin' and we're runnin' out of air
Everybody's talkin' but nobody really cares
    
  (Bridge/harmonica solo)

Everybody's chattin', everybody's chantin'
Everybody's ravin', everybody's rantin'

Headset's hardwired, keepin' my brain alive
Hooked up twenty-four seven, three sixty-five

Everybody's jackin', everybody's jawin'
Everybody's hemmin', everybody's hawin'

The volume's up to eleven the last time I heard
This song keeps playin', but I can't hear the words

Down on the bayou, eatin' jambalaya
Discussin' arcitecture of the fishin' shack
Me-oh, my-oh, I'm just gettin' high-o
At the bottom of a barrel with a bottle of Jack

Dogs are barkin', birds are singin'
Parrots are squawkin', monkeys are swingin'

As I drift off to dreamland dark and deep
I woke myself up talkin' in my sleep

I thought I'd get out of reach
I headed for Miami Beach
There's a racket goin' on
I think I had a heart attack
I think I'll fly back to New York City and just relax

Everything They Say is True


Have you heard all the talk in the neighborhood
All your so-called friends are saying I mean you no good
I've got scars down my back
Where their knives have been through
Lies ain't nothing new
But let them talk about the things that I'd do for you
And baby everything they say is true

Everything they say is true
Cause there's nothing I wouldn't do for you
When they say that real friends in this life are few
Then baby everything they say is true

I don't mind when they say that I'm going nowhere
And when they're talking trash about me
Man I just don't care
They can say what they want
But forgive them, Lord
They know not what they do
But when they talk about the things that I'd do for you
Then baby everything they say is true

Everything they say is true
Cause there's nothing I wouldn't do for you
When they say that real friends in this life are few
Then baby everything they say is true

Father and Son


(Intro): Oh, oh, oh, oh

On the border by the sea, what has been and what will be
On a battered chest of wood, somehow strong and somehow good

Take a storm in his advice, in a voice as cold as ice
Travel with him through the storm, knowing he could do you wrong

It's the right time, for my lifetime
It's the right time, father and son

Open your eyes. It's a good sign
It's the bloodline, take it and run take it and run

(Oh, oh, oh, oh .)

On a job here way up high, with the old man by his side
Miles of heart, miles of them, make a country make a man

It's the right time, for a lifetime
It's the right time. Father and son

Open your eyes, it's a good sign, it's the bloodline

Take it and run (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Take it and run (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Take it and run (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Father and son (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Open your eyes (open your eyes)
Open your eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eyes  (open your eyes)
Open your eyes (open your eyes)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Open your, open your, open your eyes
(Oh, oh, oh, oh )

Little boy sittin' on my knee, I have changed the family
See the flower, see the tree
See the wave that flows from me

It's the right time for a lifetime
It's the right time. Father and son

Open your eyes. It's a good sign
It's the bloodline, take it and run

It's the right time, in a lifetime
It's the right time. Father and son

Open your eyes It's a good sign
It's the bloodline, take it and run

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Take it and run (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Take it and run
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Take it and run (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Father and son

O-pen your eyes O-pen your eyes
O-pen your eyes O-pen your eyes
Open your, open your, open your

It's the right time, for a lifetime (open your eyes)
It's a good sign, it's the bloodline, Father and son

It's the right time, in a lifetime (Open your eyes)
It's a good sign, it's the bloodline

See it run take it and run

Fire on Fire



She's a woman who would take advantage
She's the type that likes to touch and tell
She's the stranger that you give a hand to
And she took it off you so well.

Fire on fire, ultra blue
Fire on fire, like I'm on you
Fire on fire
Fire on fire

I'm the one she wants to make a fool of
I'm the boy she better watch her step
I'm the one who broke the heart of Funk Street
And I ain't sorry yet

Fire on fire, ultra groove
Fire on fire, like I'm on you
Fire on fire.
Fire on fire.

Fire on fire.

That's the part that hurt the most
Fire on fire.

She's a one you want to take advantage
She's the one you want to touch and tell
She's the stranger that you give a hand to
And she took it so well.

My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have--

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls-- they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun

Some fun
When the working day is done

Oh girls just want to have fun,

Hang Around with You




Nothin's workin' right
I can't sleep at night
I can't pay the rent
All my money's spent
Cause I just want to hang around with you.
I just want to hang around with you.

All my friends are gone
They all said so long
They don't come around
They just put me down
Cause I just want to hang around with you
I just want to hang around with you.

You can keep the cash
You can take the stash
You can have my Chevy II

I ain't got no home
I'm just a bag of bones
With no proper point of view
Cause I just want to hang around with you
I just want to hang around with you.

You can keep the cash
You can take the stash
You can have my Subaru

I ain't got no home
I'm just a bag of bones
With no proper point of view
Cause I just want to hang around with you
I just want to hang around with you.

Hard Hands




I got on my coat                                       I tried to make it up to you
And got on my hat                                    Done all that I know how to do
Can't walk out the door                             I know it's never been enough
When you look like that                            To give you diamonds in the rough
     
Your hair hangin' free                               I woke up this morning
That smile on your lips                             You lay cool and still
That pretty dress sittin'                             You smelled like the grass
So high on your hips                                At the top of the hill
     
Nothin' comes easy                                  I picked a flower
To a workin' man                                    So fragile and fine
How can I touch you                               Sometimes I wonder
With these hard, hard hands                     Why you'd ever be mine
     
I feel your heart beat                                Nothing comes easy
Like hummingbirds wings                        To a workin' man
I fumble with buttons                               How can I hold you
I tangle with strings                                 In these hard, hard hands

I try to be gentle,
Thoughtful and kind
Sometimes my body
Runs off with my mind

Nothing comes easy
To a hard-workin' man
How can I please you
With these hard, hard hands

Play a little game
Go a little off.
It's so hard, it's so soft.

Look into my eyes,
Tell me what you see.
I don't wanta die,
I don't wanta be.

Hard hearted - solid state.
Hard hearted - I can't relate.
Hard hearted - solid state.
Hard hearted, it's too late.

You talk a lot of stuff
That's what I heard.
Free love is cheap - mark my words

You stick it in my ear,
It's goin' all around
I don't wanta hear
One more sound

Hard hearted - solid state.
Hard hearted - I can't relate.
Hard hearted - solid state.
Hard hearted, it's too late

Hard luck boys-walkin' down the street.
Make a lot of noise, take a lot of heat.
Look into the face, tell me what you see.
An empty space, he don't wanta be.

Hard hearted - solid state.

All you've got to do is help yourself
Help yourself
Help yourself

Threw me out of the bedroom
Even stepped on my hand
Shoot the heart in me, babe
Soon you'll be there

Tears fall in the moonlight
Pretty kiss in the air
Everything you got is yours
All you've got to do is help yourself
Help yourself
Help yourself

(bridge)

I've been working in a gold mine
For a thousand years
I've been working for the moonlight
For a thousand tears
You're a lot on my head
For this love you left

Everything you got is yours
All you've got to do is help yourself
Help yourself
Help yourself

Help yourself
Help yourself
Help yourself

Help yourself
Help yourself
Help yourself

You'll cry
You'll dry
The tears
From each eye

My heart
A throne
As hard
As solid stone

The fire
Will burn
The new nation
Again

Hell’s Gate Georgia




Lately I've been thinking about the time when we were young
When we lived our dreams and got things done

Now the days they move so slow, like butter in the sun
They went by so fast when we were young

I still hear them old songs playin' in my head
I still feel like jumpin' up and dancin' 'round the bed

Baby you're the fire burnin' in my eyes
Hot as Hell's Gate, Georgia in July

Lately I've been thinking about the shadows in the lace
Revlon red and moonlight on your face

But your skin's so soft and warm just like a summer's breeze
Just a sigh that can bring me to my knees

I still hear them old songs playin' in my head
I still feel like jumpin' up and dancin' 'round the bed

Even when a cold wind blows our love burns up the sky
Hot as Hell's Gate, Georgia in July

(Bridge)

Sometimes I go drifting off to places you can't go
Sometimes you go places I don't ever want to know

Even when our love turns cold, an ember still survives
Hot as Hell's Gate Georgia in July

I still hear them old songs playin' in my head
I still feel like jumpin' up and dancin' 'round the bed

Baby you're the fire burnin' in my eyes
Hot as Hell's Gate, Georgia in July
Hot as Hell's Gate, Georgia in July

Lately I've been thinking about the time when we were young

Hip Pcoket




Such a kid she lives up the north town side
Lips of pitch she knows that I like that.
Picks me up in a Cadillac
I got her checked out, she don't wear black.

She's got the world in her hip pocket.
And all the boys say she's got it
She's got the world in her hip pocket.
And all the fire. And all the rockets.

Hip pocket [she's got the world ]
Hip pocket [she's got the world ]

She's got the buzz, director of the cruise.
You can tell by the way she moves.
Fill it up in the blue suede shoes.
You gotta be tough when you're born to lose

She's got the world in her hip pocket.
And all the boys say she's got it
She's got the world in her hip pocket.
And all the king's men can't stop her!

Hip pocket [she's got the world ]
Hip pocket ...

(Bridge)

She wears her pants just right She's got no secrets  (Rapped)
Can see the world...in her hip pocket

Hip pocket [she's got the world ]
Hip pocket [she's got the world ]

I'm just a cat on a highway outta town
Seein' the bird on a power line.
Have a wish that I can make her mine.
Just can't reach but I won't stop tryin'

She's got the world in her hip pocket.
And all the boys say she's got it
She's got the world in her hip pocket.
And all the fire and all the rockets.

She's got the world in her hip pocket.
And all the boys say she's got it
She's got the world in her hip pocket.
You got it goin', baby, don't stop it.

Hip pocket [she's got the world ]
Hip pocket
Hip pocket [she's got the world ]
Hip pocket [she's got the world ]

Hey, hey, hey, hey [she's got the world ]
Hip pocket [she's got the world...]
Hip pocket [she's got the world...]
Hip pocket [she's got the world ]
Hip pocket

Hit of Scrapple




I ain't no fruit from California.
No sushi boy from the Big Apple.
I'm just a kid from the streets of Philly,
The land of love, the home of Scrapple.

If my heart goes pop! I don't care about that.
Can't stop, getting' down in the fat.
Health cop wants to blow me away_______.
I need a hit of Scrapple ev-er-y day________.

I ain't no geek from Minnesota,
Lickin' cheese off a wheat thin cracker.
I ain't no freak from North Dakota,
Suckin' ice off a John Deere tractor.

If my heart goes pop! I don't care about that.
Can't stop, getting' down in the fat.
Health cop wants to blow me away_______.
I need a hit of Scrapple ev-er-y day________.
Just a taste of Scrapple, so creamy and gray.
Nothing wasted, nothing thrown away_____.

My eggs begin to quiver when I put it on my plate.
When it gets to my liver, it can't get through the gate.
My doctor starts to shiver, 'cause he knows it's much too late______.

I need a hit of Scrapple ev'ry day.
Just a taste of Scrapple, so creamy and gray,
Need a hit of Scrapple ev-er-y day________.

(Instrumental coda)

They say it's crap they say I'm crazy.
A bunch of assholes, on a platter.
Then I'm the king of assholes, baby.
Keep getting' richer, keep getting' fatter.

If my heart goes pop, I don't care about that.
Can't stop, getting' down in the fat.
Health cop wants to blow me away_______.
I need a hit of Scrapple ev-er-y day________.
Just a taste of Scrapple, so creamy and gray,
Just a hit of Scrapple ev-er-y day________.

Troubadour




Well I walk Down that highway on a lonely railroad track
With Woody and Dylan and Rainbow and Jack

I ride on this boxcar and sleep on the bus
Leadin' the pieces and swallow the dust

I ask nothing more and I take nothing less
I'll stand in the shadows of only the best

If I was a troubadour singin' my songs
Would you have mercy and let me hang on?

Just for the moment, just for the night
Could I spread my blankets on your floor?
If I was a troubadour

I'd knock around barrooms and drank whiskey and smoke
Tell my sad stories and pay for my bad jookes

The spotlight's a light bulb, the stage is the floor
If this place don't like me, there's ten thousand more

I've scratches and scars from the places I've been
I'll play this guitar 'til it wears paper-thin

If I was a troubadour singin' my songs
Would you have mercy and let me hang on?

Just for the moment, just for the night
Would the words be the ones you're looking for?
If I was a troubadour

Out in this wasteland I search for the roots
A ghost upon the road wearin' old fur-skin bots

I've warmed lonely diners wee hours of the night
On matchbooks and napkins my songs I would write

I've missed someone dearly but need someone more
While the waitress cleaned up I would wait by the door

If I was a troubadour singing my songs
Would you have mercy and let me hang on?

Just for the moment, just for the night
Would you ask for a song and nothing more?

If I was a troubadour
If I was a troubadour

If We Can't Make It




You hear the beat, you hit the floor                              If we can't make it
You see the boy, you want him yours.                         If we can't make it
I see the girl, she drop me down                                 If we can't make it
It is not poison it is not wrong                                    If we can't make it
I swear                                                                     Forever,
                                                                                Forever,
If we can't make it, the sun will never rise                    Forever, evermore,
If we can't make it, this scene will surely die                 Forever.
If we can't make it, no children never dance.
If we can't make it, nobody chance a chance,
Forever,
Forever.

Some people say No Way!
Say that love is just a joke
A Barbara Stanwyck living hell
It's all bad boy - no hope
I swear!

If we can't make it, the sun will never rise
If we can't make it, this scene will surely die
If we can't make it, no children never dance.
If we can't make it, nobody chance a chance,
Forever,
Forever.

Where are all the men who they would cry?
Where are all the women to take them aside?
Where are all the brethren who will cling together?
Forever,
Forever.

You hear the beat, you hit the floor
Your heart is broke, your feet so sore
You turn away into the night
Come tomorrow it'll be alright
I swear!

If we can't make it, the sun will never rise
If we can't make it, this scene will surely die
If we can't make it, no children never dance.
If we can't make it, nobody chance a chance,
Forever

In the Middle


 

I want to stand in the middle again
Here in my circle of friends
Warmed by the light
Of the fire burnin' bright
I want to stand in the middle again

I want to walk in the middle this time
Not too far ahead or behind
With my eye on the track
And no trouble at my back
I want to walk in the middle this time

I want to stay in the middle with you
There is nothin' that I wouldn't do
I'll rise and shine
Just to walk that line
I want to stay in the middle with you

I've lived on the border
Slept with one eye open
Made a friend of danger at my door

But now I need some comfort
A ring of love around me
I don't want to be a stranger anymore

I want to be in the middle of love
I would never be too high above
Rich or poor
Who could ask for more
Than to be in the middle of love

I want to live in the middle of life
I want to lick all the honey off the knife
I want to take ev'ry man
And shake him by the hand
I want to live in the middle of life

I've been small and frightened
I've been larger than life
Been flush and
Been stripped down to the bone

Been light as a feather
Soared like a kite
And fell to the bottom like a stone

Yes, I've been to the middle of hell
From the top to the bottom of the well
Burned by fame
And lost without a name
Yes, I've been to the middle of hell

Here in my circle of friends
I want to stand in the middle again
Where our songs resound
From the mountains all around
And let us stand the middle again

Interplanetary Private Eye




Blue smoke on my windshield
Bright lights in the land of steel
Red Diner on a foreign star
Hot carbon on my heels

I'm from the island of I and I
Interplanetary private eye
Interplanetary private eye
Interplanetary private eye
Interplanetary private eye

No one wants to know me.
I bleed like the old boys do.
Sweetheart in a plastic bag
I love her just the same.

Still remember the tears we cried.
Interplanetary private eye
Interplanetary private eye
Interplanetary private eye
Interplanetary private eye

(Bridge)

I need a drink and a kiss goodbye
Interplanetary private eye.
Interplanetary private eye
Interplanetary private eye
Interplanetary private eye

Hot shot on a mercury run
Ten years and I tracked him down
I Hit him with my fire ball gun
Now he's all over town.

Funny thing but I still miss that guy
Interplanetary private eye.
Interplanetary private eye
Interplanetary private eye
Interplanetary private eye

King of England




Sitting on my throne.                                 It's the colors we sing.
Throw the dogs a bone.                              La-la, la-la, la-la, la!
It's so good to be at home,                          La-la, la-la, la-la, la!
In Eng-a-land.

Rome is in the throes of bills.                    Baby, it's my thing. (La-la, la-la, la-la, la!)
Egypt's shot to hell.                                  Baby, it's my thing. (La-la, la-la, la-la, la!)
But I'm alive and well,                              Baby, it's my thing. (La-la, la-la, la-la, la!)
In Eng-a-land.                                          Baby, it's my thing. (La-la, la-la, la-la, la!)

Baby it's my thing.
I'm the king of Eng-a-land.
Baby it's my thing.
I'm the king of Eng-a-land.

In ermine lined with chintz.
Behold the wayward prince,
Who gets the royal pinch.
In Eng-a-land.

This fighting on the streets,
Is not my cup of tea.
We throw away the keys,
In Eng-a-land.

Baby it's my thing.
I'm the king of Eng-a-land.
Baby it's my thing.
I'm the king of Eng-a-land.

I say, I say, I say, I say, Good Chap!
I take what I want and I don't need nothing back!
I say, I say, I say, I say, You Lost!
Cover your hole, you deserve just what you got!

Baby it's my fate.
I'm the king of Eng-a-land.
Baby kiss my ring.
I'm the king of Eng-a-land.

Baby catch my face.
I'm the king of Eng-a-land.
Baby it's my fate.

Land of Ice




All I want is you
In this land of ice
Keep my heart in your picture frame
Through the wild night

All I see is you
In this land of ice
Keep the fire burning strong
Through the wild night

All the girls from Frisco town
They all go down, down, down
Colored lights they make a paradise
In the land of ice

Who can find our way?
In this land of ice
Turn the music way up loud
Through the wild night

All the boys from Kensingtown
Are rolling on the ground
You can hear the rattle of the dice
In the land of ice

All the girls from Frisco town
They all go down, down, down
Colored lights they make a paradise
In the land of ice

The music is free, little brother
Take it from me, little brother
There's a road that's winding through the night.
You can feel the city's burning lights.

There's a woman in a bright red dress for you, little brother.
She ain't nothing like her mother, but she's true, little brother
I'm talkin' to you, little brother___________.

You can take the car, little brother.
Take my old guitar, little brother.
There's a bar on the corner of Third and South.
Where you talk with your fingers not your mouth.

There's a woman in a bright red dress for you, little brother.
She ain't nothing like her mother, but she'll show you what to do, little brother
I'm talkin' to you, little brother. 
I'm talkin' to you, little brother. 

We were born to knock around, and rock around_________.
Gotta shake off that catholic schoolin' joke.
We were born to knock around, and rock around_________.
Let me show you how they walk and talk.
I'm talkin' to you, little brother.

Look into the stars, little brother.
Don't look too far, little brother.
Don't let them try and push you 'round.

When you're down they try to burn you out.
And just remember in everything you do, little brother
I love you and I'm watchin' over you, little brother
I'm talkin' to you, little brother.

Lookin’ for Love




I'm lookin' for love
For something complete
I'm lookin' in the clouds above
And in the gutter on the street

I'm prayin' for rain
And the rainbow, too
I'm waitin' for lighting to strike me
And who knows who

I'm takin' a train
Down to Baltimore
I'm tellin' my aches and pains
I ain't gonna take anymore

I know a spot
Where the band's always hot
I'm gonna dance with my dream girl
Even if she's really not

I ain't lookin' to sign papers
Cramp anybody's style
I don't wanna cause you vapors
I just wanna see you smile
Oh, love, I'm lookin' for you

I'm ridin' the range
On my old appaloose
I might wind up in chains
Or hangin' from a noose

I'm roundin' up all
My old-time used-to-be's
Wonderin' if anybody out there
Still remembers me

The carnival lights
Are dimmin' way down
And all of the stars from last night
Are layin' on the ground

But nothin' come true
But I keep takin' the bait
'Cause I know tomorrow or the next day
It's just gonna be great

Now if I had to pick her out
Cold from a line,
Man, I wouldn't know which one's
Supposed to be mine
Oh, love, I'm lookin' for you

(Bridge/solo)

I'm lookin' for love
I got nothin' to lose
I'm looking around in fancy cars
And clothes and booze

But someday I know
When I find something true
I guess when it's the real thing
You know exactly what to do

I'm lookin' for love, oh love
I'm lookin' for you

Aww, go on!

Lonely Too



I'm lonely too,                                                     Until we meet I'm lonely too.
Like a prisoner in the dark.                                    Until we meet I'm lonely too.
No face looking back at me.                                  I'm lonely too.
                                                                          I'm lonely too.
I'm lonely too.                                                      I'm lonely too.
Like a shooting star,                                              I'm lonely too________________.
Don't know who's shootin' back at me.

I know what you're going through.
I know you're out there somewhere.
I walk the same streets you do.
Until we meet I'm lonely too.

There's no way out,
Living this dream,
That has no way of coming true.

There's no way out.
There's no escape,
For hungry souls like me and you.

I know what you're going through.
I know you're out there somewhere.
I walk the same streets you do.
Until we meet I'm lonely too.

These eyes got all the people cryin' in misery.
Until you walk in my door,
There's nothing there I want to see.
Until we meet I'm lonely too.

I taste the tears,
I feel your tears.
I hear your laughter in the rain.

I sense the heat,
I feel your skin.
The blood that's running through your veins.

I know what you're going through.
I know you're out there somewhere.

Love’s on Fire




Come clean with me about what you're afraid of
I don't believe in never wanting love
You say you like it, you say it's alright
But I saw you crying alone last night

Take my hand and take your turn
There's a chance that you won't get hurt
Take a heart that you can't return
Love's on fire but it don't burn

You're not the first one who's been down hearted
Remember when I was shook up and torn apart
I know abandon and how it hurts you
When your heart's breaking it hurts me too

Take my hand and take your turn
There's a chance that you won't get hurt
Take a heart that you can't return
Love's on fire but it don't burn

Aw, come with me baby
You will see what good love
Love can be
Love's on fire love's on fire love's on fire love's on fire

You're not the first one who's been down hearted

Take a heart that you can't return
Love's on fire but it don't burn

Lucky Hat




My father said 'son, sit down right here'
He pulled an old hat down around my ears
Made a little crease, looked real fine
Said now it's yours, boy, 'til the end of time
I feel a little Southern, I like the way it's at
From that day on, it was my lucky hat

Once I had a buddy down along the line
Said we'd be together 'til the end of time
Then one night he went walkin' out the door
With something on his head he never should have worn
The end of a beautiful friendship just like that
He never should have put on my lucky hat

It's well broke in and it fits just right
I'm cool all day and warm at night
Never out of style no matter where I'm at
I'm always lookin' good in my lucky hat

Once I had a woman and a bunch of kids
Still can't figure out what the hell I did
Chasin' hard liquor for livin' like that
With my cheap cigars and my lucky hat
I said 'you wanna go, go ahead, but leave my hat'
You're never gonna see me, without my lucky hat

I would be makin' love or playin' big guitar
And I ate more sushi at the sushi bar
Shootin' pool and shufflin' the cards
At a camp town meeting in a prison yard
Puttin' on the dog or puttin' out the cat
You're never gonna see me, without my lucky hat

It's well broke in and it fits just right
I'm cool all day and warm at night
Never out of style no matter where I'm at
I'm always lookin' good in my lucky hat

Well, I was blue-gill fishin' when I suddenly
Didn't have a paddle, I was up a creek
The fishes were bitin', jumpin' in my boat
But if the boat went down, my hat was gonna float
Down on the bottom with the gangsters and the river rats
But I came up high and dry in my lucky hat

On the day I perish, on the day I die
I'm gonna go on up, I'm gonna rise up high
I'm gonna rise up singin' in the azure sky
The trumpet's gonna blow, the devil's gonna cry
Gonna rise up high with the politicians and the diplomats
Gonna go to the promised land in my lucky hat

It's well broke in and it fits just right
I'm cool all day and warm at night
Never out of style no matter where I'm at
I'm always lookin' good in my lucky hat

Down in Hialeah
I got it on at tee time
I got it made in the shade
With my lucky hat
Well, it's my lucky hat
Well, it's my lucky hat
It's my lucky hat

Man-O-Matic




When I'm up in New York City, that town don't feel no pity
There's a knockin' at the door, downstairs in the subway stop

If she can't do it, nobody can,
She makes me feel like a man man-o-matic
I feel like a man, she makes me, man-o-matic

When it all gets long-faced and flashin', that smile is a field of passion
Hey, man, now it's all my action, every move a smooth transaction

If she can't do it, nobody can, she makes me feel like a man
Man-o-matic, I feel like a man, she makes me, man-o-matic

Whoa, oh! Whoa, oh! .
Whoa, oh! Whoa, oh! Whoa, oh! Whoa, oh!

She makes me feel like a man
I feel like a man I feel like a man I feel like a man

I feel like a man I feel like a man I feel like a man
I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, she makes me feel like

When I'm up in New York City, that town don't feel no pity
There's a hunger at the door, down fifteen stories or more

If she can't do it, nobody can, she makes me feel like a man
Man-o-matic, I feel like a man she makes me, man-o-matic

I feel like a man I feel like a man I feel like a man
I feel like I feel like I feel like

She makes me feel like She makes me feel like
She makes me feel like

She makes me, she makes me, she makes me, she makes me

She makes me She makes me She makes me
She makes me feel like She makes me feel like
She makes me feel like She makes me feel like

Whoo, ooh! I feel like a man

Melt Down




We've gone much too high
Mad men of the new sci-fi
Listen to the wind out there
They say it's the angels cryin'

Don't believe in the printed word
Can't put your finger on emotion.
Are you ready for the sound?
Meltdown
Are you ready for the sound?
Meltdown
Are you ready in your town?

Ground level catch and keep
Count down don't go too deep.
Green wire turn to red
Now baby get some sleep.

I believe in my radio
I got my finger on emotion 
Are you ready for the sound?
Meltdown
Are you ready for the sound?
Meltdown
Are you ready in your town?

Wild dog runnin' and he's skinned alive,
Mary's in her sky-blue see-through eyes.
Lookin' for a warm bed
She's hot, but she's out of her head.
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready for the sound?
Meltdown
Are you ready for the sound?
Meltdown
Are you ready in your town?

Count down don't go too deep
Your signal's growin' weak
Mad men of the new sci-fi
We count electric sheep

Don't believe in the printed word
You got your finger on emotion.
Are you ready for the sound?
Meltdown
Are you ready for the sound?
Meltdown
Are you ready in your town?

Are you ready in your town?
Are you ready? Are you really?
Emotion
Emotion
Emotion
Emotion
Meltdown
Are you ready in your town?

Miami Beach



This workin' day goes on and on
These winter nights are much too long
But when the sun begins to rise
I'll be there looking in your eyes.

And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach
And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach
And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach

I'm all tied up I can't get off
But soon I'm gonna get enough
And then I'll drive that big white car
Right down the freeway to your heart.

And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach
And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach
And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach

And when the sun begins to fly
Your diamond ring is gonna shine

And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach
And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach
And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach

Hold on tight to your life
And when the sun is sinkin' down
We're gonna go out on this town

And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach
And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach
And I'm running down Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach

I'm gonna drive that big white car
Right down the freeway to your heart

Miami Beach Mi-, Mi-, Mi-, Miami Beach
Miami Beach Mi-, Mi-, Mi-, Mi-, Mi-, Mi-,

Mirror on the Ceiling




She walked under the streetlights
Tryin' to make a dollar
She kept her French boudoir
Above the old pool parlor

I felt down in my jeans
Came up with a buck
She said let's make it fast
So I followed her on up

I was just a kid
With all my senses reelin'
She said I hope you like
My Mirror on the ceiling

She said my name was Johnny
She said her name was Lucy
She told me what I'd want
As if somehow she knew me

And all that she left on
Was just a lacy little thing
And all I had to do
Was pull on the little string

Lay me down so kind
It almost felt like stealin'
Then I fell in love
With her mirror on the ceiling

Her hands were moving slowly
Made my heart beat faster
She knew just where to go
I just followed after

The room began to spin
My world turned upside down
She took me up so high
I never touched the ground

And then I just let go
Riding in the feelin'
I let them angels fly
In the mirror on the ceiling

(Bridge)

But now I've got a wife
And lots of pretty children
They light my restless nights
And almost always fillin'

But when my demons come
And there's no place to hide
There's no place to run
Nothin' is feelin' right

I still have the hurt
For all those things we're healing
Then I find myself
In the mirror on the ceiling

And then I just let go
Riding with the feelin'
Let them angels fly
In the mirror on the ceiling

Mmm_____mmm____mmm____
Mmm_____mmm____mmm____

Neon Blue




Lights are moving in the sky.
Electric thoughts are in your eyes.
On feet that never touch the ground.
I'm with you tonight.

Neon Blue don't be shy.
Show the color that you wear.
In your head, in your eyes.
I need (you), Neon Blue.

Lead me up in to this empty street,
One last kiss, we'll call it sweet.
We've been nothing left.
Nothing left, that's all I need.

Neon Blue don't be shy.
Show the color that you wear.
In your head, in your eyes.
I see Neon Blue, I see Neon Blue.

(Bridge/Instrumental)

As the sun begins to crawl.
As the city starts to fall.
And she strays before my eye.
I don't care if I live or if I die.

Neon Blue don't be shy.
Show the color that you wear.
In your head, in your eyes.
I love Neon Blue.
I love Neon Blue.    
I love Neon Blue.

(I Ain’t Never Gonna Crawl) No More




I should have looked                                           I'm on a Harley burnin' up the road
I should have saw                                              Its wheels on fire and it might explode
My nose was green                                            My hair is flyin' like a rebel flag
And my eyes were red                                        I got sewer rats in my saddle bags
He said 'I think he's drunk  
And he might be dead.'                                        Got a rollin' thunder in my hands
                                                                        I'm a tattooed mountain of a man
He rolled me over                                               Got cocaine runnin' all around my head
And he touched my tush                                     Spit on a frog and I killed him dead
I jumped up and stick that scum 
The hometown crowd                                         Now I'm back in my office in a business suit
Was gatherin' 'round                                           My secretary thinks I'm awful cute
They helped me up                                             Saturday morning me and all my friends
And they tied me down                                       Can't wait to get back on the road again 
     
The sun was shinin' up                                        I don't know what's goin' on
When they were drivin' me home                          I'm just tryin' to belong
The radio was playin'                                          Some day I'm walkin' out that door
"Like a Rolling Stone"                                          And I ain't never comin' back no more
     
Now I don't know what's goin' on                        Mary, Mary, mother of God
I'm just tryin' to cross along                                 I'm standin' here like a lightning rod
And get my key into the door                               Strike me down for all the deeds I've done
I ain't never gonna crawl no more                         I swear I'll never hurt anyone, again
     
There's an angry woman                                     Mary, Mary, full of grace
Waitin' in my door                                              Tears are runnin' down my face
I swear I saw her face before                              That boy he's crawlin' in the mud
She knocked me over                                          He must have drank that wine
And she pulled a knife                                         And turned into blood
I recognized her-it's my wife  
                                                                        Next time you'll see me
I said I should have met you                                On the Silver Streak
When we were at the mall                                   They say he left too soon
That's when she kicked me                                 And he came back too late
In the balls    
Her daddy said he's gonna fix me good                 Now I don't know what's goin' on
He said he'd never lie to me, never would              I'm just tryin' to sing my song
                                                                        And get my foot in to the door
Now I don't know what's goin' on                       But I ain't never gonna crawl no more
I'm just tryin' to get along                                   No more ..No more
Pick myself up off the floor  
I ain't never gonna fall in love no more

No More (Alternate Lyrics)




My buddy found me on the barroom floor
Should have just left a note before
My sneakers were missing and my eyes were red
He said 'I think he's drunk, but he might be dead'

He rolled me over and he pinched my toe
I jumped up and said 'let's go!'
The hometown crowd was hangin' around
Sometimes they pick you up sometimes they knock you down

With the radio playin', he was drivin' me home
The radio was playin' like a rolling stone

Now, I don't know what's goin' on
I'm just tryin' to get along
Get my key into the door
But I ain't gonna crawl no more no more

There's an angry woman standing in my door
I swear I seen her face before
She slapped me silly and she knocked me down
I recognized her-she's my wife.

I said 'I should have left you at the Springfield Mall'
Then she kicked me in the groin
Her daddy said he's gonna fix me good
Said he never liked me and he never would

Now, I don't know what's goin' on
I'm just tryin' to get along
Pick myself up off the floor
But I ain't gonna fall in love no more no more

Now I'm on a Harley burnin' up the road
The wheels on fire and it might explode
My hair is flying like a rebel flag
I got sewer rats in my saddle bags

Got a rolling thunder in my hands
I'm a tattooed mountain of a man
I got cocaine runnin' all around my head
I spit on a frog and killed him dead


Back in my office in a business suit
My secretary thinks I'm awful cute
Saturday morning me and all my friends
Can't wait to get back on the road again

Now, I don't know what's goin' on
I'm just tryin' to get along
Today I'm walking out that door
I ain't never comin back no more no more

Mary, Mary, mother of God,
I'm standing here like a lightning rod
You can strike me down for all the deeds I've done
But I never meant to hurt anyone

Mary, Mary, full of grace
Tears are rolling down your face
That boy is crawlin' in the mud
Must have drank that wine, turned to blood

Next time I'm on the silver streak
Said he left too soon come back too late

Now, I don't know what's goin' on
I'm just tryin' to sing my song
Get my foot into the door
But I ain't never gonna crawl no more no more no more

Nothing Sacred




This twisted fading soul undone.
When all your streets are burning bright.
Can't shade it out.
This iron cross we drag around.
Nothing's sacred in this town.

Children playing in the park.
Every bullet finds a mark.
Tears come fast,
Like breaking glass
Without a sound.

Nothing sacred in this town.
Nothing sacred out here.
But the violence and fear.
Nothing's lost when nothing's found.
Nothing sacred in this town.

(Bridge/Instrumental)

Nothing sacred______________.
Nothing sacred in this town.
Nothing sacred______________.

Out on the line good friends have died.
One at a time we're goin' down.
Nothing's sacred out here.
But the violence and fear.
Nothing's lost when nothing's found.
Nothing sacred in this town.

Nothing sacred in this town.
Nothing sacred in this town.

One Night at a Time




I got some colors I want you to see.                        One night at a time.
On a hot summer night.                                          One trip on the borderline.
I got some people I want you to meet.                      One night at a time,
In lithe black and white.                                          Night at a time____.
                                                                            One night at a time.
Don't worry about the things you hear,
Don't worry about your silly fears.                           One night at a time.
Don't worry about the littleness of your life.              One slip on the fault line.
                                                                            One night at a time,
Take it one night at a time.                                    Night at a time____.
Take one walk on the fault line.                             One night at a time.
One night at a time,
Night at a time.                                                       Night at a time_______.
One night at a time.                                                 One night at a time.
                                                                             Night at a time.
Little Sophie, she's a doe-eyed doll.                           One night at a time.
Margo's dancin' in a cage.
Jackie's breakin' through drug store walls,
He's on the latest craze.

Forget about your wedding rings,
Forget about your petty sins.
Forget about a tender little kiss goodnight,

Take it one night at a time.
One slip on the border line.
One night at a time,
Night at a time.
One night at a time.

(Bridge/Instumental)

[Rap]: A garden of delights in a city of dreams
          Now you're walkin' through Big Blue
          Wild in Saks Fifth Avenue
          After hours in the Valium scene
          Take anything you want

          White diamonds and leather tights
          If mommy and daddy saw you tonight
          Never to light yourself on fire
          Never to walk, never desire
          Eyes like a window of a Cadillac
          You can't see in, so don't look back!

Open My Heart




Open my heart
Take a look
It's all there before you
An open book

It's nothin' scary
To make you cry
It's a true story
I tell no lies

So if you want
This love affair to start
Baby, open up my heart

This moment is fleeting
And movin' fast
You've got to take it
And make it last

These kisses are perfect
Like birds on the wing
You've got to listen
To hear them sing

So if you want
This love affair to start .
Baby, open up my heart

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh_________!)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh_________!)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh_________!)

Open my heart
It's Christmas Eve
To see what's inside
You must believe

These teardrops are diamonds
And laughter is gold
Go ahead and touch it
Take all you can hold

So if you want
This love affair to start .
Baby, open up my heart

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh_________!)
baby, open up my heart
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh_________!)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh_________!)
yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh_________!)

Out of It




My baby won't dance on television,
My baby she's shy, shy, shy.
My baby won't dance on television,
My baby won't even try.

Hey, DJ, what's wrong with my baby?
She don't want to shimmy shake it on down.
Hey, DJ, what's wrong with my baby?
She don't want to be famous in a minute and a half.

In the modern world she's out of it.
Small town girl she's out of it.
Permanent curls she's out of it.
She's out of it.

My baby won't move to California,
My baby stays high and dry.
My baby won't move to California,
My baby she's got no drive.

Hey, daddy, what's wrong with your daughter?
Don't you want faux fur in a limousine?
Hey, mommy, what's wrong with your baby?
She could have been a big smash on the silver screen.

In the modern world she's out of it.
Small town girl she's out of it.
Permanent curls she's out of it.
She's out of it.

(Bridge/Instumental)

My baby won't wear no rubber jumper,
My baby she can't stand in the sun.
My baby won't wear no rubber jumper,
My baby's no fun, fun, fun.

In the modern world she's out of it.
Small town girl she's out of it.
Permanent curls she's out of it she's out of it.

In the whole wide world she's out of it.
Small town girl she's out of it.
Permanent curls she's out of it
She's out of it.

Out of the Blue




Out on the street
All of you trouble boys
You're all alone now
You got to make your choice

Yo-oh out of the blue
Yo-oh out of the blue
Yo-oh out of the blue
Yo-oh out of the blue
Back to nowhere.

We got a chance now
Times will be changin' fast
Open your eyes, let's show 'em.
Our better half

You were on top, yeah.
You were the golden boy,
but when you went down
nobody made a noise

Yo-oh out of the blue
Yo-oh out of the blue
Yo-oh out of the blue
Yo-oh out of the blue
Yo-oh out of the blue
Back to nowhere

(Bridge)

Get 'em up boys!
Yo-oh out of the blue
Yo-oh out of the blue
Yo-oh out of the blue
Yo-oh out of the blue
Yo-oh out of the blue
Back to nowhere

Hudson and Ford they never
Steered you wrong.
Gilbert and Sullivan sold
You another song

You want to win
You got to play their games
Cause when you go, kid,
You're gonna walk just like you came.

Yo-oh out of the blue,
Yo-oh out of the blue,
Yo-oh out of the blue,
Yo-oh out of the blue,
Yo-oh! Yo-oh! Yo-oh! Yo-oh!
Yo-oh! Yo-oh! Yo-oh!

Perfection



Everybody wants to talk to my baby
She knows how to move real slow
She runs with the queens and gypsies
She's an ideal model role

She's perfection
In design
She's perfection
On the dance line

Everybody wants to talk to my baby
I don't know where she's from
She's frenchy with the Navy
She's sweet with the China men

She's perfection
In design
She's perfection,
On the dance line

Perfection
Perfection in design

She got made in the clapping of thunder
Gets high but she's really deep
Sometimes she makes me wonder
How to keep her

She's perfection
In design S
She's perfection
On the dance line

Perfection

Perfection
Perfection in design
Perfection
On the dance line

She's perfection        
In design               
She's perfection
On the dance line

On the dance line

Prettly Little Thing



Keep your head on straight
And stand up proud
Don't hesitate to walk on clouds

If you can make it on this planet
You can make it anywhere
So do all the things
They said you should never dare

Can you hit the mark and
Make a grown man cry
With your poisoned darts
And your eagle eye

Did they break your spirit
And tame your hunter's soul
Did they get you addicted
To lust and lies and gold

Pretty little thing
Won't you please come home?
Give me a ring
On the telephone
You can call me (your) daddy
With pretty please sugar on top
Anything in the world you want
You know you got

Does your mama roam
In a limousine?
Is she hard as stone?
Is she cold and mean?
Did she tell you the facts of life?
Or a fairy tale?
Did she lock you up,
Or get you out on bail?

Corrina, baby, did I make you cry?
Did I put the tears
In those big brown eyes?
I was only a kid myself
When you came on the scene
It was a miracle then
But now it just seems like a dream

Pretty little thing
Won't you come back home?
Give me a ring
On the telephone
You can call me baby
With pretty please sugar on top
Anything in the world you want
You know you got

(bridge)

Now you got your man
And you live in town
He does the best he can
But if he lets you down
I'll light him on fire
And shoot him like a dog at your feet
He says he thinks I'm jokin'
But he stays on his side of the street

You can do anything
You would go anywhere
You get away from the sting
Of the salty air
You know back in Jersey
They still talk about the things you did
Well, you're a grown woman now
But I still love you like
      when you was a kid

Pretty little thing
Won't you please come home?
Give me a ring
On the telephone
You can call me daddy
With pretty please sugar on top
Anything in the world you want
You know you got

Rag




My daddy played the flat top                       I had a girl in 'Frisco
My mother loved to dance                          She wore a dress of red
I'll get a girl like her                                   I gave her all my money
If I ever get the chance                              She took me home to bed
     
Ev'ry girl I'd meet                                      But the only dance she did
The just made me sick and sad                    Was the San Francisco Shag
They're steppin' all over my rag                   Then she stepped all over my rag
     
Been all around this country                         Here comes Miss Mississippi
Lookin' for a girl                                         She's bustin' into town
'Cause If you wanna dance                          Spendin' all her money
You need a partner in this world                   Makin' all the rounds
     
But they just break my heart                         Sit down now, pretty baby
Before I even drop my bags                         'Cause you're pullin' back
And they're steppin' all over my rag               And you're steppin' all over my rag
     
I met a preacher's daughter                          I know someday I'll find her 
Who never heard the word                           In some cold backwater town
She'd fallen out of grace                              She'll come dancin' through
She was a pretty little bird                           Them barroom doors and
                                                                 Never touch the ground
She did the Chi-town shimmy 
And she did the Dixie Drag                           Until I find my honey
But she stepped all over my rag                     I'll still on that whiskey jag
                                                                 And they're steppin' all over my rag

Got a reading on the situation
Got the signal and it's A-okay
Got the number and the new location
I gotta go now, gotta get away

I Hold on tight

Little slippers and their shiny faces
They got millions of them, red alert
Tiny bodies in their tiny places
Never eat or steep, baby hit the dirt

Ridin’ High




Cloud of smoke on the mountain                 Cuttin' wood in the mornin'
Cup of rain in my hand                              Chainsaw bringin' 'em down
That river is much too deep                        Rich folks readin' the New York Times
And dark to understand                              Out on fair Long Island Sound
     
Roll me up in my blanket                            I miss my cream and my sugar
It's so cold and so damp                            All that big city noise
Tell that bottle to come back                       Got an arm 'round my shoulder
Stop runnin' all around the camp                 He's a mean old country boy
     
Ridin' high, high, high                                Ridin' high, high, high
Ridin' high                                                Ridin' high
     
Had a girl in the city                                  Throw a dream on the fire
Brand new Ford in the stall                         Let 'em all burn down
Up here in the big pines                              Let the flames take me higher
A man can feel so small                             To the place where the lost are found
     
Left a crowd at the courthouse                   She's my constant companion
All my friends back in school                      I hold her tight in my knees
I never did what they said I did                   I couldn't make it without that horse
But I run off like a fool                              I'd fall right here and freeze
     
Ridin' high, high, high                                Snowflakes fallin' like feathers
Ridin' high                                                Layin' deep on the bough
                                                               We're headin' up country
Bluebird  singin' beside me                         Ain't no way to turn back now
Such a lonesome sound  
Soon that north star will guide me               Ridin' high, high, high
On the trail where the sun goes down          Ridin' high
     
(bridge)                                                    Ridin' high, high, high
                                                               Ridin' high

Route 666




You take Route Fifty off of Route Forty-nine
Hang a left at the head of the river
You tunnel through the woods where they turn pitch black
Let the fog roll over your window
   
Now the eyes in your headlights, they might be a deer
Or some howling thing running the road
You know, somebody could die out here
And nobody would ever know
   
C'mon baby, don't let me down
Way out here in the sticks
There ain't another livin' soul around
On Route Six Sixty-Six

They tell stories about demons that fly through the night
On black wings just like eagles
They say there's men that do things down here
That ain't exactly legal

Now I had a buddy and he drove off the road
Into a ditch and his truck went down
Well, they searched the swamp and towed out his truck
But my good buddy was never found

C'mon baby, don't let me down
Way out here in the sticks
Get me over to that interstate
Off of Route Six Sixty-Six

Took a ride in the old Camaro
Bald tire on the right front side
Should have stuck to the straight and narrow
Instead of going on this hell-bent ride

There's a house on a lane way back in the woods
Where they're practicing some kind of voodoo
The kids run around with no clothes on
And their little eyes look right through you

Now my foot's to the metal and I see the big red E
Shining on the dashboard light
I ain't talked to God for a hundred years
But I'm sayin' this prayer tonight

C'mon baby, don't let me down
Way out here in the sticks
I thank heaven for a Seven-Eleven
On Route Six Sixty-Six

C'mon baby, don't let me down
Way out here in the sticks
Not another livin' soul around
On Route Six Sixty-Six

Six sixty-six
Six sixty-six
Six sixty-six

Sad Lady


Busy signal on the telephone
Every time I try to call
I know you're sitting home alone
Staring at the wall

Sad Lady
Just a girl
Ooo baby
You inake it such a sad world
It's really not so bad girl

All the time I try to make you happy
You always seem to drive me back
Everything I say, I'm crazy
Every kiss, a heart attack

Sad lady
Just a girl
Ooo baby
You make it such a sad world
It's really not so bad girl

Do you want it to be?
Do you want it to be?
Do you want it to be?
Do you want it to be?

All your poems and your funny pictures
Did you have to be so unique?
Anybody could have read your future
Anybody could have took a peek

Sad lady
Just a girl
Ooo baby
You make it such a sad world
It's really not too bad girl

Sad lady
Oh girl
Ooo baby
You make it such a sad world
It's really not too bad girl

Some people just don't live right
Some people stay up all night
Always living on the edge of a dream
Some people don't know what that means.
We have no place to stay.

Say yo! Say yo! Say yo!

Come with me to try to do the town
People living in the underground
Somebody wheelin' the ideas lose
I see it happen on the TV news
Down in your town, U.S.A.

Say yo! Say yo! Say yo!

Everybody's gonna be a big star
Everybody gets a big black car
All the kids rockin' on my street
They're rockin' to a brand new beat
Nobody's gonna make a stink.

Shadow



I don't know where he come from
The rain was pourin' down
I thought I saw a movement
I though I heard a sound

When I looked behind me
Into the howlin' of the wind
He was standin' in my footsteps
Right where my feet had been

He's a bad dog
He barks too much
Bites the hand that feeds
Sometimes he's a lot like you and me

He's a bad dog
I started out to live this life alone
But shadow followed me home

He follows me to grocery
He follows me to church
He follows me to bed at night
He'd go through hell or worse

He chewed up all my carpets
He wrecked my happy home
Sat down in my favorite chair
And said go find your own

He's a bad dog
He barks too much
Bites the hand that feeds
Sometimes he's a lot like you and me

He's a bad dog
I started out to live this life alone
But shadow followed me home

I took him down that highway
I chained him to a tree
Put fifty miles of blacktop
Between that dog and me


I don't know how he did it
That night at half past four
He sat there on my front porch
Scratchin' at my door

He's a bad dog
He barks too much
Bites the hand that feeds
Sometimes he's a lot like you and me

He's a bad dog
I started out to live this life alone
But shadow followed me home

Sometimes we think we're happy
Sometimes we think we're free
Got ev'rything we wanted
And ev'rything we need

But all the dreams I dreamed of
Are shrouded now in doubt
And the thing I never wanted
I just can't live without

He's a bad dog
He barks too much
Bites the hand that feeds him
Sometimes he's a lot like you and me

He's a bad dog
I started out to live this life alone
But shadow followed me home

But shadow followed me home
But shadow followed me home

Shanty Town



The night is young
And steamin' hot
All it needs is some colored lights
And a double shot
To get it up on its feet
It's shakin' down in Shanty Town

My girl's so pretty and
Dressed so fine
Gonna have to get her a stick
And a no trespassing sign
When she's doin' the shimmy
Shakin' down in Shanty Town

Some say our lifestyle is lewdidity
Down here we got
One hundred percent humidity
And even a minister's son
Can have a little fun
Shootin' the devil's gun
Down in Shanty Town

The corner bar
It's no grand saloon
Just a gin joint with a juke box
And a paper painted moon
With all the jitterbugs jumpin'
Shakin' down in Shanty Town

The sun's comin' up
The birds tweet, tweet
Cab ride costs a dollar
So we're walkin' down the street
The church choir girls singin'
Shakin' down in Shanty Town

All week long
It's the boss and the mother-in -law
And I'm so over emotional
Come Saturday night
Me and the wife we're just devotional

Makin' love all we cand
Under a lazy fan
Eatin' our eggs and ham
Down in Shanty Town

The night is young
And so are we
The landlord needs his money
But all the stars are free

We're standin' our ground
Watchin' the sun go down
Shakin' down in Shanty Town

She Loves Me Too


She likes the warming of the sunshine on her skin
She loves the cotton gin and the cold breeze blowin' in
She likes the sunny days and tomatoes on the vine
She likes the warmth of wool and the shadows in the fire

And she likes me, too, oh yeah, she likes me too
Mmm, mmm, mmm__________, mmm_________mmm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm__________, mmm_________ mmm_________

She wants a little house on a lonely windswept beach
She wants a flat-tire bike and a four-wheel ragtop jeep
She wants a poster bed from a dusty antique store
She wants a bunch of kids runnin' circles on the floor

And she wants me, too, that's right, she wants me too.
Mmm, mmm, mmm__________, mmm_________mmm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm__________, mmm_________ mmm_________

She's got true eyes where the deep blue waters flow
She's got dirty hands and sand between her toes
She's got breasts and legs, she don't give a goddamn care
She's got a string of boys that follow her anywhere

And she's got me, too, oh yeah, she's got me too.
Mmm, mmm, mmm__________, mmm_________mmm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm__________, mmm_________ mmm_________

She loves her mom and she loves her dad
She likes those deep, dark books that always make her sad
She loves makin' love and sleeping in two beds
She loves CNN and all that stuff she loves to hate

And she loves me, too, yes, 'n she likes me too
And she loves me, too, yes, 'n she likes me too
Mmm, mmm, mmm__________, mmm_________mmm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm__________, mmm_________ mmm_________
Mmm, mmm, mmm__________, mmm_________mmm.

She’s Hot




All my life I been looking for a thing like that
All night I been running with the alley cats
It's the scent that hit the spot

She's hot
She's hot
She's hot
She's hot

There's a pistol in my head and it just won't drop
There's a rumble in my bed and it just won't stop.
Somebody better call a cop

She's hot
She's hot, yeah.
She's hot
She's hot, shhh !

Man, it's scary when you're standing around in the dark
In the jungle of the mind it was just a spark
Pray for rain in a young man's heart.

She's hot
(The girl) she's hot.

Space Majorettes




Things have changed down in Riverdale
Man, how time flies
Boys and girls all over the world
Are watching the skies

It's a missile
It's a chapel
It's space...majorettes

Space majorettes
It's space majorettes
Space majorettes

Little Barbara was walking home
With the starry eyes
Broken glass bustin' out of the wind
And a drum roll on the night

Sharp stars shootin' out of the west
It was space majorettes 
It was space majorettes

She's my space majorette
My space majorette

They'll march on the ceiling
March on the walls
They'll never stumble
They'll never fall

So bring all the good things
So all of you kids
They don't care who you are
They don't care what you did

Space majorettes
Space majorettes

She's my space majorette
She's my space majorette

Style




Hit a hammer on the boardroom wall.                       I'm talkin' 'bout,
I got it down at the city hall.                                    Can't live without,
Don't cry about your bad taste.                                Style.
You got a hold of the seams.
                                                                            You're gonna take their breath a-way
Style.                                                                    Walkin' down that long runway
I'm wild about style.                                               Those lights of Paris and L.A.
From my head to my toes,                                       I'm gonna smile.
Insideout upsidedown.                                          Cause you got style.
I'm talking bout,                                                     Cause you got style
What's comin' out.
                                                                            It drives them wild,
There's a boy down on Avenue D.                           Cause you got style
Drag queen clothes from A to Z.                              I'm talkin' 'bout style.
Got a chain through his nose ring.                            I'm wild 'bout style.
She's wild about his thing.                                       It's all about style.
                                                                            I'm crazy 'bout style.    (Fade)
Bell-bottoms and fur-trimmed boots,
Hot rubber and synthetic suits.
You got to walk an extra mile,
Get a job in the rank and file.

Style.
I'm wild about style.
You're turnin' about.
Insideout upsidedown.
I'm talking bout,
Can't live without, style.

You're gonna take their breath a-way.
Walkin' down that long runway.
Those lights of Paris and L.A.
I'm gonna smile__________,
Cause you got style.

Too Tough to Love




She walked into the Satellite Club,                         She's too tough to love,
In a dress that was much too tight.                       She's too tough to love.
I watched her from a distance,                             She's too tough to love,
Like something burning in the night.                      She's too tough to love.

I made a move but she brushed me off,                 She's too tough to love,
Like I was a piece of dirt.                                    She's too tough to love.
Someone ought to teach that girl                          She's too tough to love,
How a woman is supposed to flirt.                       She's too tough to love.
                                                                        She's too tough to love.
She's too tough to love,
She's too tough to love.
She's too tough to love,
She's too tough to love.
She's too tough to love.

She started drinking manhattans,
With some guys from the wrong side of town.
She was ready for action.
One by one she shot them down.

I knew she knew I was looking
She hiked up her skirt.
And looked at me with her cold blue eyes.
She knew how much it hurt.

She's too tough to love,
She's too tough to love.
She's too tough to love,
She's too tough to love.
She's too tough to love.

(Bridge)

She jumped into a taxi,
And I slid through the door.
As we sped down Forty-second Street
We made love on the floor.

We did it all through Brooklyn,
We made a stop at Broad.
And I jumped out at the Queensboro bridge,
But I'll be back for more.

Turtle Dove




She don't look at me                                  What ever happened
The way she used to look                           To my little turtle dove?
She keep her nose                                      What ever happened
Inside a book                                             To our nights of love?
     
She don't say nothin'                                 What ever happened?
That I don't expect                                    Ask the stars above
I Throw her a smile                                   Have you seen
And I get nothin' back                                My little turtle dove
     
What ever happened                                  She sits in the window
To my little turtle dove?                             Where the light comes in
What ever happened                                  Got somethin' jumpin'
To our nights of love?                               In her skin
     
What ever happened?                                She's always leavin'
Ask the stars above                                   If she ain't already gone
Have you seen                                          She's runnin' somewhere
My little turtle dove                                   All night long
     
That old black crow he came around          What ever happened
He took my turtle dove to town                  To my little turtle dove?
                                                              What ever happened
With tricks and magic up his sleeve            To our nights of love?
He made my turtle dove believe 
                                                               What ever happened?
What ever happened                                  Ask the stars above
To my little turtle dove?                             Have you seen
What ever happened                                  My little turtle dove?
To our nights of love?   
                                                               Early in the morning
What ever happened?                                You can hear her coo
Ask the stars above                                   Doin' things that a woman do
Have you seen    
My little turtle dove                                   Puttin' all her secrets in a paper box
                                                               Like a baby safe
I made her a nest                                      From a hungry fox
In a live oak tree   
Just big enough                                        What ever happened
For her and me                                         To my little turtle dove?
                                                               What ever happened
Lies moved in                                           To our nights of love?
And brought mistrust   
Now there's no room                                What ever happened
For all of us                                             Ask the stars above
                                                              Have you seen    
                                                              My little turtle dove

Waiting for the Dream Man


Miles away in another world
There lives a lonely little girl
With her scrapbook pictures spread on the floor
And her record machine she knows all the words
In a little town in a little house she waits      

Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream, dream, dream, dream

Down at the Sun Ray there's a kid who works
With the radio on while his soul jerks
Five o'clock he's gonna chuck in the towel
Jump in his Chevy, head uptown
He's got on his leather and his Marion Brando stare

Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream, dream, dream

Hey Mr. Roberts hear my complaint
I told all the angels, I told a the saints
Out on the hi-way I've seen the light
Somebody's dying for a song tonight
He wake got skimmed and he slipped right through their hands

Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream, dream, dream

Miles away in another world
There lives a lonely little girl
With her scrapbook pictures spread on the floor
And her record machine she knows all the words
In a little town in a little house she waits

Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream man
Waiting for the dream, dream, dream

Walking on Air




I can do anything I want on this stage
I no longer feel like I live in a cage

We can go out tonight
And walk on the stars
We can dance like we dance
On Venus and Mars

I'm talking to you
Right from the heart
You don't care

I'm walking on air
Walking on air
Walking on air
Walking on air

We can feel any way we want today
Hold on to your heart
Or throw it away
We can go on forever
Or stop on a dime

I can love you just once
Or a thousand times
I'm talkin' to you
Out on the street
We stop and stare

I'm walking on air
Walking on air
Walking on air
Walking on air

Yes, the moon is a funny place
Sometimes love is an empty space
If I can't make it there
I can play it anywhere

I can do anything I want on this stage
I no longer feel like I live in a cage

We can go out tonight
And walk on the stars

You don't care

I'm walking on air
Walking on air

We Fall


It's been an endless summer.
Lucy in a golden sky.
We only watch and wonder,
And as she flies.

We fall just like heroes.
Like trinkets on a chain.
Like fifty below zero.
Like candy in the rain.

We fall________________,
We fall________________.

Do you walk on gilded splinters?
No fear, no pain, no doubt.
Here comes the long, cold winter.
There's no way out.

We fall just like heroes.
Like trinkets on a chain.
Like fifty below zero.
Like candy in the rain.

We fall________________,
We fall________________.

When we stand tall.
Like gods on the wall.
Like nothing can touch us at all.

When Dreams Come True



You stand at the beach in a dress
With the breeze in your hair
I'm walkin' in the sun
And you'll be there

I know what to do
Well be down Erie town
Pullin' up at the bar
Watchin' all the stars come down
Just like the stars
I wish I'd cruised

When dreams come
When dreams come
When dreams come true

When dreams come
When dreams come
When dreams come true
I'll be with you

When dreams come
When dreams come
When dreams come true

When dreams come
When dreams come
When dreams come true
I'll be with you

It's a fact that tipped the hats
Silver dollars will roll
Here's a big black Cadillac
Struttin' out of the cold
So, what's new?

When dreams come
When dreams come
When dreams come true

When dreams come
When dreams come
When dreams come true

When dreams come
When dreams come
When dreams come true

When dreams come
When dreams come
When dreams come true
I'll be with you

Whole Lot of Water


There's a road in the sand, through the sugar cane
There's a house that stands in the sun and rain

Where the old man sits many the ships go by
He never did get out. He never even tried

That's a whole lot of water, more than I can cry
A whole lot of water in the old man's eyes

Me and Sarah K., we grew up untamed
In the bright blue sky, in the hurricanes

Like two boats that sail, tryin' to break free
From the prison walls of the deep blue sea

That's a whole lot of water, more than I can cry
A whole lot of water in my baby's eyes

I never been no slave to no history book
And ev'ry fish I caught I let it off the hook

So I paint the shapes of the sea and sky
And I teach my hand to obey my eye

That's a whole lot of water, more than I can cry
A whole lot of water in the young man's eyes

Well as ships come in to the old town pier
I would sell my soul and my pictures there

Rich lady said "boy, they're not half bad"
Told me she could sell ev'rything I had

That's a whole lot of water, more than I can cry
A whole lot of water could have passed me by

So I packed my bags, and I hit New York
And I learned to swim in a pool of sharks

All the city lights took away my breath
And when a cold wind blew I nearly caught my death 

That's a whole lot of water, more than I can cry
A whole lot of water, more than money buys

Now I dream sometimes, me and Sarah K.
Sail into the sun out on Old Cruz Bay

With an ice cold beer rolled across my brow
I would give anything if I could be there now

That's a whole lot of water, more than I can cry
A whole lot of water to the other side

Now the bright green leaf has turned to brown
In a crimson streak of the sun gone down

Oh the pale blue skies fade away to white
And it all dissolves in the black of night

That's a whole lot of water, more than I can cry
A whole lot of water in a young man's eyes

That's a whole lot of water, more than I can cry
A whole lot of water and I'm runnin' dry

Who’s Got What it Takes


Does it do for you when you go to the store
And you buy all those clothes

What does it make you feel when you dream at night
About the things that you own

What does it do for you when a car pulls up
And the lights go on

What does it say to you that makes your knees grow weak
And your heart beat strong

Who's got the magic touch, that slows you down
And makes you rush

And holds you back, and shakes you up
Who's got what it takes to

Make you, got what it takes to make you, got what it takes to
Make you you've got what it takes

Who's got what it takes Who's got what it takes

Where do you go at night when your cabbies tired
And your clock winds down

What do you see at night when there's nowhere to go
In this tired old town

How does it make you feel when the corner boys
They got nothin' to say

But you can't write home about the things that you do
And there's no place to play

But does it make you feel, it holds you down
It makes you rush

And it slows you down, and it shakes you up
It's got what it takes now

Make you, got what it takes to
Make you, got what it takes to
Make you who's got what it takes?

Who's got what it takes? Who's got what it takes?

If I hold you I might break through, it's got what it takes to

(bridge)

Where do you go at night? What could he say to you?

How does it make you feel when your knees grow weak
And your heart beat strong

Who's got the magic touch, that slows you down
And makes you rush

And holds you back, and shakes you up
Who's got what it takes to

Make you, got what it takes to make you, who's got what it takes to
Make you, who's got what it takes to

Make you, got what
You've got what it takes Got what it takes to

Who's got what it takes to make you, who's got what it takes to
Make you

Who's got what it takes Who's got what it takes?
Who's got what it takes?

If I told you I might break through
Make you, who's got what it takes to make you

Who's got what it takes? Who's got what it takes?
Who's got what it takes?

Who's got what it takes? Who's got what it takes?
Who's got what it takes?

Who's got what it takes? Who's got what it takes?
Who's got what it takes?

Wild Out There




The bear is on the rampage                         The sky is full of smoke
The moose is on the loose                           Can't tell the forest from the trees
Better batten down the cabin door                The D.E.C. is bogged down
Watch your little red caboose                       In the mud up to its knees
     
'Cause it's wild out there                             And it's wild out there
It's wild out there                                       Yeah, man it's wild out there
     
The wolf is on the doorstep                         When there's trouble over paradise
And the rabbit's runnin' scared                     You can smell it in the air
It's wild out there                                       And it's wild out there
     
The eagle's on the mountain                         They're buildin' cars in Detroit
The fish is in the brook                                With no regard or shame
There's crazy people in them hills                 There's poison in my water
Man, I could write a book                            And clouds of acid rain
     
And it's wild out there                                 It's wild out there
It's wild out there                                       Oh, yeah, it's wild out there
     
They got pepper in their hiking boots            Progress and prosperity
And flowers in their hair                              Sure make a pretty pair
And it's wild out there                                 And it's wild out there
     
We crawled in to the pup tent                      The bluegrass boys are pickin'
Thought up something lewd                        There's lightnin' in the woods
The ranger snuck up in the night                  They never took a lesson
And caught us in the nude                            But man, they all sure play good
     
And it's wild out there                                 And they're wild out there
Yeah, baby, it's wild out there                      Them boys are wild out there
     
Peace is getting' hard to find                        And there ain't no education
Free love's getting' rare                               Like that cold, clean mountain fare
And it's wild out there                                 And it's wild out there
     
The rich man took his money                      Grandpa's in the woodshed
And threw it in a lake                                 With his secret magazines
He cried himself a river                               Little sister's smokin' locoweed
And now the dam's about to break               And drinkin' kerosene
     
You know, it's wild out there                      She's goin' wild out there
It's getting' wild out there                           Oh, brother, it's wild out there
     
He was given all God had to give                 Grandma's got an outboard motor
But took more than his share                      On her rockin' chair
And it's wild out there                                And it's wild out there
     
I jumped into my Hummer                         Oh, baby, it's wild out there
I four-wheeled out of town                        It's wild out there
Now I'm out here at the crossroads            And it's wild out there
I believe I'm sinkin' down  
                                                               Mmm, hmm, mmm, hmm
You know it's wild out there                      Hmm, hmm, hmm
Ho, man, it's wild out there                        Hmm, hmm, hmm
     
On the rocky road to heaven  
Crowds of people everywhere 
And it's wild out there

Wish Me Luck




Time is wastin'                                     Hooked a rainbow
It's time to move                                   He's jumpin' for the sky
Day is breakin'                                      He's pullin' me along
With the early morning news                  I've never been so high

Eggs 'n bacon                                       'Til he gave in
Big pile of hash                                     And he gave up
The river's waitin'                                  I set him free
I can see that silver flash                        I wished him well
                                                           I wished him luck
Pack up my gear   
Start up the truck                                   (Bridge)
Stick with me baby   
Wish me well                                       You know I love you
Wish me luck                                       You know I always will
                                                           When you lay sleepin'
Take a dirt road                                     Up there on the hill
I walk a mile flat   
Nest of bluebirds                                   No other angel
Singin' in my hat                                    Has come along
                                                           Who can sing to me
I feel so light                                        The way you sing our song
I might drift away    
If I get lost                                           'Til lighting strikes
Then I have found my way                    And I get struck
                                                           Stick with me baby
Walk on water                                      Wish me well
Dive like a duck                                    Wish me luck
Stick with me baby   
Wish me well                                        Time is wastin'
Wish me luck                                        It's time to move
                                                            Day is breakin'
Chasin' daydreams                                 With the early morning news
Down a riverbed   
Black flies buzzin'                                  Eggs 'n bacon
All around my head                                Big cup of mud
                                                           Anticipation
                                                            Like a river in my blood
     
                                                           'Til lighting strikes
                                                           And I get struck
                                                           Stick with me baby
                                                           Wish me well
                                                           Wish me luck
