Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gathered round and started talking That's when Billy would take me walking Through the back yard we'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows to my suprise Chorus: The only boy who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man He was, yes he was, oh yes he was Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I tried When he started sweet talking to me He'd come and tell me everything is alright He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright Can I get away again tonight Chorus How well I remember The look that was in his eyes Stealing kisses from me on the sly Taking time to make time Telling me that he's all mine Learning from each others knowing Looking to see how much we'd grown The only boy who could ever move me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever groove me Was the son of a preacher man He was, yes he was, oh yes he was |

Don't ask her how she knows, but she knows
It's gonna be great Don't ask her how she knows, but she knows And she can't wait Hey hey hey to flyaway Number one for takeoff To that big drowning pool in the sky Number one for takeoff And her dress wavin' you goodbye Hey hey hey flyaway Gone up in rapture Gone see Your mother Take off your heavy head Gone up in rapture Life's better when you're dead Bones light as eggshells Look down on Main Street See all the people run Laugh if you want to She's goin' to the sun Hey hey hey flyaway |

Get up Jack, crack your head
Sweatin' whiskey in my bed Ain't you heard a word I've said Get up Jack Get up Jack, read the news See if you can tie your shoes Find another friend to use Get up Jack CHORUS And come down, come down Long enough to see my face Come down, come down Get up Jack, run and hide Tell us all how hard you tried Burn your bridges, drown your pride Get up Jack Get up Jack, crack your head Been so long since I fed You ain't heard a word I've said Get up Jack REPEAT CHORUS If I came in a bottle... It was a mighty good year How come I don't get you high How come you're still here God, you were so beautiful I used to watch you sleep God, God so beautiful Too much promise to keep Get up Jack, go to hell Baby I can taste the smell Wish I didn't, truth to tell Know you, know you so damn well Get up Jack |

And your hands are really shakin something awful
As you light your 27th cigarette Oh how long have you been sittin in the darkness You forget Oh you know you're gettin really hard to be with And you're cryin every time you turn around And you wonder why you can not pick your head up Off the ground Oh my crazy baby Try to hold on tight Oh my crazy baby Don't put out the light, the light, the light, the light And they look at you like they don't speak your language And you're living at the bottom of a well And you swallowed all the awful bloody secrets That you can't tell Oh you know you ought to get yourself together But you can not bear to walk outside your door No, you can not bear to look into the mirror Anymore, anymore Oh my crazy baby Try to hold on tight Oh my crazy baby Don't put out the light, the light, the light, the light And your hands are really shakin something awful As your worries crawl around inside your clothes Ooh how long will you be sittin in the darkness Heaven knows Oh my crazy baby Try to hold on tight Oh my crazy baby Don't put out the light, the light, the light, the light, the light, the light, the light, the light, the light, the light |

Why does it take so long for you to leave me
Once you've said goodbye I wish it could be over quickly Clean and painless and dry But your kiss has left its taste with me And your hands have left their mark My ears are full of whispers And murmurs in the dark Why does it take so long for you to leave me Now that you're not here I wish that I could fight this feelin' Make you disappear But my body has a memory And it holds you close within The smell of you at midnight The flavor of your skin CHORUS I feel your fingerprints On my heart I thought that I could handle you I thought I was so smart Now I feel your fingerprints Nothin' I can do Ain't it touching how I can't get over you I can't believe I can't forget you You didn't matter that much Is it gonna take another man To wash away your touch REPEAT CHORUS |

The sun goes down too early
The wind goes down my back just like it owns me I work my job I get my check I'm tryin' not to let myself get lonely I'm just dreamin' about the day that I can Show you all the love I've got for you I used to hear my heart cry out I used to feel it pound in me I used to think It'd break me right in two Now that seems so long ago I'm feelin' like there's nothin' I can't do I'm just dreamin' about the day when I can Show you all the love I've got for you Sometimes I can see your face Taste your lovin' in my mouth Baby I am comin' back for more Can't you feel me comin' Can't you see me comin' Can't you hear me knockin' on your door? I'm just dreamin' about the day when I can Show you all the love I've got for you I've got so much love for you |

Early in the morning when I'm still in bed
I start thinking 'bout last night My imagination gets the best of me And I can feel the match burn twice Baby have I told you that I love your way Only once will never suffice They say that love is always sweeter the second time around And I can feel the match burn twice BRIDGE Oh I take my time, time, time Oh I must confess Oh here comes the part I like the best So even when you're miles and miles away from me Baby it's no sacrifice They say that love is always sweeter the second time around And I can feel the match burn twice REPEAT BRIDGE So even if you're never comin' back no more Baby it's no sacrifice They say that love is always sweeter the second time around And I can feel the match burn twice |

How will we stay on the sidewalk
When there is no gravity Piece of paper floating upward But no one stops to see And you think that I'm the right one 'Cause I know just what to say And you ask me to convince you That you won't blow away In this wild wild world Wild, wild world By the river Well we made them to be broken Sorry if they let you down Sorry if the ones you know Are vanishing all over town And I need someone to hold me And I ask you to be fair And you'd like to give me something But we both know there ain't a lot Ain't a lot to spare In this wild, wild world Wild, wild world Oh are you listening To make sure I'm still here? Oh did you know That the river burns like gasoline And they can't turn on the rain machine And they tell me there is no more space Won't you turn around 'Cause I hate it when I cannot see your face In this wild, wild world In this wild, wild world Wild, wild world By the river |

August in the city 90 degrees
The streets are full of arms and legs The audience is hangin' on the corner Just waitin' for some bones to beg The sniper and the moving target I can't talk talk talk until my face turn blue Hey girl, you, girl put that right here This what I'll do to you But I live, I live, I live on this street The dogs are speakin' the men are howlin' When we take our parts out for a walk I could say, I should say, I would say Does your mama know about the way you talk Somewhere in egypt I'm worth 4 camels A strong healthy girl like me On 42nd street it's a quarter to look But the women outside are free But I live, I live, I love on this street He's the ruler of the pavement He owns all that he can see On 42nd street it's a quarter to look But the women outside are free I live, I live, I love on this street Repeat three times |

Lady Madonna,
Children at your feet Wonder how you manage to make ends meet. Who find the money When you pay the rent? Did you think that money was Heaven sent? Friday night arrives without a suitcase. Sunday morning creeping like a nun. Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace. See how they run. Lady Madonna, Baby at your breast Wonders how you manage to feed the rest. See how they run. Lady Madonna, Lying on the bed. Listen to the music playing in your head. Tuesday afternoon is neverending. Wednesday morning papers didn't come. Thursday night your stockings needed mending. See how they run. Lady Madonna, Children at your feet Wonder how you manage to make ends meet |
