It was one of those great stories that you can't put down at night The hero knew what he had to do and he wasn't afraid to fight The villain goes to jail while the hero goes free I wish it were that simple for me And the reason that she loved him Was the reason I loved him too And he never wondered what was right or wrong He just knew, he just knew Shadow and shade mix together at dawn But by the time you catch them simplicity's gone So we sort through the pieces my friends and I Searching through the darkness to find the breaks in the sky And the reason that she loved him Was the reason I loved him too And he never wondered what was right or wrong He just knew, he just knew And we wonder yes, we wonder How do you make sense of this When the hero kills the maiden With his kiss, with his kiss Aaaah ... It was one of those great stories that you can't put down at night The hero knew what he had to do and he wasn't afraid to fight The villain goes to jail while the hero goes free I wish it were that simple for me It were that simple for me |

I recall my so called misspent youth It seems more worthwhile Every single day Cruisin' Van Nuys and acting so uncooth All the joys of runnin' away There was no speed limit On the Nevada state line The air was red wine On those top down nights Just you and me My old rollarskate And the common sense To know our rights Sweet old racin' car of mine Roarin' down that broken line I never been so much alive Too fast for comfort Too low to fly Too young to die You say a man can't love a material thing With aluminum skin And a cast iron soul But they never heard your engine sing Ah there's peace in losing control "Sticky fingers" turned up real loud Ah, we were flirtin' with catastrophe We were doing everything that's not allowed Life didn't come With a warranty For you and me Sweet old racin' car of mine Roarin' down that broken line I never been so much alive Too fast for comfort Too low to fly Too young to die There is peace in losing control When I die I don't wanna go to heaven I just wanna drive my beautiful machine Up north on some sonoma country road With Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen All the boys be singin', singin' Sweet old racin' car of mine Roarin' down that broken line I never been so much alive Too fast for comfort Too low to fly Too young to die Just a little bit too young Too young To die |

Listen old soldier wherever you are
The hills or the valleys Come near or come far They say youth's a treasure We waste when we're young So come down from the place Where your medals are hung You're forever returning and learning to fight And you feel just like an old soldier tonight Listen old soldier 'cause time doesn't wait The moon's on your shoulder The hour is late There's something there inside you Still calls out to you And you won't fade away Whatever you do You're forever beginning Barely winning the fight And you feel just like an old soldier tonight You're not getting any younger That much is true now But you've still got that hunger Burning in you now So what do you do now What do you do now Listen old soldier To the sound in your ears Of too many battles For too many years There's only one thing You've learned in defeat Losing is bitter And victory is sweet You're always unravelling Traveling light And you feel just like an old soldier tonight Feel just like an old soldier tonight |

You were dreaming on a park bench About a broad highway somewhere When the music from the carillon Seemed to hurl your heart out there Past the scientific darkness Past the fireflies that float To an angel bending down To wrap you in her warmest cloak And you ask "What am I not doing?" She says, "Your voice cannot command" She says, "In time you will move Mountains And it will come Through your hands." Still you angle for an option Still you argue for your cause Like you wouldn't know a burning Bush Till it blew up in your face We dream about the future We memorize the past When just a simple reaching out Could build a bridge that lasts And you ask "What am I not doing?" She says, "Your voice cannot command" She says, "In time you will move Mountains And it will come Through your hands." So whatever your hands find to do You must do with all your heart There are thoughts enough to Blow men's minds And tear great worlds apart There's a healing touch to find you Out on that broad highway Somewhere Gonna lift you as high as music Running through an angel's hair And don't worry What you are not doing 'Cause your voice cannot command And in time you will move mountains And it will come through your hands Through your hands Through your hands |

He met her in a french cafe
She slipped in sideways like a cat Sidelong glances, what a wary little stray&127; She sticks in his mind like that Saying 'avez vous un alumette' With her lips wrapped around a cigarette Yvette in English saying please have this Little bit of instant bliss. He's struggling with a foreign tongue Reaching for words and drawing blanks A loud mouth is stricken deaf and dumb In a bistro on the left bank If I was a painter Picasso said I'd paint this girl from toe to head Yvette in English, saying please have this Little bit of instant bliss Burgundy nocturne tips and spills They move along nicely in the spreading stain New chills, new thrills For the old uphill battle How did he wind up here again Walking and talking touched and scared Uninsulated wires bare Yvette in English saying 'please have this Little bit of instant bliss What blew her like a leaf his way Up in the air and down to earth First she flusters, then she frays So quick to question her own worth Her cigarette burns her finger tips It falls like fireworks, she curses it Sweetly in English she says 'please have this Little bit of instant bliss He sees her turn and walk away Skittering like a cat on a stone Her high heels clicking, what a wary little stray She leaves him by the Seine alone. With black water and amber lights And the bony bridge between left and right Yvette in English, saying 'please have this Little bit of instant bliss |

I used to walk around with my eyes on fire My nerves real close to my skin Had a fist full of questions and a brand on my cheek And we would skate where the ice got thin And the smoke blowin' down from a cabin on a hilltop Smoke blowin' down in the street Some kind of sweet smellin' mystical backdrop To the story unfolding at my feet There's an edge to the twist of an acrobat in the air There's an edge to the twist of a knife There's a hard heart of darkness hovering there Just around the corner from life And I, I have no answers I got no patented path to set you free Besides I wouldn't know where you wanted to go And it's probably not the same place as me There's a thousand roads up this mountain You can get lost in a minute if you try And it's probably enough that I was just laughing today, yeah Lookin' this close in your eye I said there was a thousand roads up this mountain You can get lost in a minute if you try It's probably enough that I was just laughing today, yeah Looking this close in your eye, in your eye In your eye |

Better keep your distance from this whale Better keep your boat from going astray Find yourself a partner and treat them well Try to give them shelter night and day 'Cause here in the blue light Far away from the fireside Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded You can't even feel right So I dream of columbus Every time the panic starts I dream of columbus With your maps and your beautiful charts I dream of columbus There's an ache in a traveling heart See how the cormorant swoops and dives Must be a thrill to go that deep Down to the basement of this life Down to where the mermaid gently sleeps Not like here in the blue light Far away from the fireside Where things get twisted and Haunted and crowded You can't even feel right So I dream of columbus Every time the panic starts I dream of columbus With your maps and your beautiful charts I dream of columbus There's an ache in a traveling heart As the tide must ebb and flow I am dragged down under I wait the livelong day For an end to my hunger So I dream of columbus Every time the panic starts I dream of columbus With your maps and your beautiful charts I dream of columbus There's an ache in a traveling heart |

I'm sitting in here inside the Strangest place And nme is racing by L've been way out here for a month or more Tonight I'm wondering why You try to understand the things That I feel Maybe this time I'll find a way to Explain it And there was a dream Deep inside my head It only seemed like it's breaking the thread That holds me to you Still you have never wanted to Change me But darlin' I know Though we're far apart The signal is strong This helpless heart will always Belong to you Only to you No one but you This power takes me from the place I belong To where only the strong get through You've got to Keep on believing or you'll lose your way It slips right out on you Though there are days the light can Flicker or fade Here in tihis place tonight a fire is burning 'Cause there was a dream Deep inside my head It only seemed like it's breaking the thread That holds me to you Still you have never wanted to Change me But believe me I know Though we're far apart The signal is strong This helpless heart will always Belong to you Always belong to you Only to you Only to you No one but you |

The TV is talkin' to me It's positive identification But maybe I'm mistaken I talk to my radio I keep it tuned to the all night show I'd give my last dime for coverage But you will not cover me I got a penchant for the printed page I got a mention in the Monday news I was on my last leg When it came through I talk to my radio I keep it tuned to the all night show I'd give my last dime for coverage But you will not cover me No no no no Tune it in to the pale blue light Whispers to me through the night Better love Better lovers Cover cover cover cover Cover cover cover cover Coverage I would have made it sooner see But I got caught up in the dream traffic Blew the demographics I talk to my radio I keep it tuned to the all night show I'd give my last dime for coverage But you will not cover me No. You will not cover me No. You will not cover me |

She was still in school Chewin' on a pencil Playin' pool Stayin' up all night Full of dreams I've known her family Ever since we were small Gettin' in trouble Drivin' our folks up the wall Wastin' time Yeah....but we had fun She was gonna Ride her bike to China Sail away on a bottle top And as the years passed by One night I held her close to me That was the first time I Said I love you To Natalie Carousel was crowded So we talked for a while Natalie said, "Baby, You know I miss your smile... Whenever you go away From me." You know that time starts tickin' When a love starts to fade I knew something was wrong but still I thought we had it made The first time I Said I love you To Natalie That was the first time I Said I love you To Natalie Now I look at her pictures And I talk to these walls Call out her name But She don't hear Me at all And she got wild and restless Tried everything She could take One night I tried to stop her But I was too late That was the last time I Said I love you To Natalie And that was the last time I Said I love you To Natalie That was the last time I Said I love you That was the last time I Said I love you That was the last time I Said I love you To Natalie |
