Stop my heart and turn around Rebel nature, just got to be free I'm in the right place, right place to be Washers, dryers, dealers, and souls Looking into the fire Flat caps, whippets, lovers, and wives Balanced out on the wire And she said Love is forever babe Love is a tool Servant for jesus A slave for a fool I look out through love's back door I escape but not any more Revelation help me see I'm in the wrong place, the wrong place to be Washers dryers dealers and souls Looking up to rise higher Flat caps whippets lovers and wives Balanced out on the wire And she said Love is forever babe Love is a tool Servant for jesus Slave for a fool Love is for worshipped Love is a test Love is a firebrand burnin' A hole in her breast Love is ... Washers dryers dealers and souls Looking into the fire Flat caps, whippets, lovers and wives, Balanced out on the wire And she said Love is forever babe Love is a tool Servant for jesus Slave for a fool Love is for worship Love is a test Love is the firebrand burning A hole in her breast Love is a blossom Love is a lie She said be careful boy This ain't no wild cherry pie Love is forever, love is forever, love is forever (fade out immediately) |

Yes she will be beautiful
And you will be vain When the honeymoon is over She will suck out your brain Give me back my life Give me back my call Simply set me free Stop banging my head on the wall Put a black hat on me Take out a voodoo bone And the scars across my ceiling They paint a picture to the great unknown I'm coming unraveled Spinning out of control Becoming unstable It's taking it's toll And the lamps keeps sliding Across the kitchen floor And there's something to remember Is this the life of a cross-cut saw And I'm coming unraveled Spinning out of control I'm becoming unstable I'm still paying the toll Great expectations will have a glitch Searching for power, may kill the bitch Theater of pain Love or lust in vain Unraveled again! Give me back my life, Give me back my call Simply set me free, Stop banging my head on the wall She will be beautiful, And you will be vain When the honeymoon is over, She will suck out your brain I'm coming unraveled, Spinning out of control I'm becoming unstable, And I can't, I can't let go Coming unraveled, Spinning out of control Becoming unstable Nobody, nobody knows I'm coming unraveled, Spinning out of control Becoming unstable, I can't, I can't let go (instrumental and vocals fade out) |

Walking tall, full of tedious charm,
The smoothest (???) in (???) The mission boys all cross their palms Don't you know who I am I guess you miss the lights? huh! I guess you miss the fame I guess you miss everybody Hanging onto your name Little caesar is prince of the city ??? In this town there's no pity This man stands alone I guess you miss the lights - ha! I guess you miss the fame I guess you miss everybody Hanging onto your name Sometimes when you're all alone And the blue turns to gray Better get down on those pinky knees, And you start to pray I guess you miss the lights - ha! I guess you miss the fame I guess you miss everybody Kiss-kissing your name A glimmering???, a twilight star And so much love for show, A returning wave from the gallery bar And share the afterglow I guess you miss the lights I guess you miss the fame I guess you miss everybody Hanging onto your name Ha! I guess you miss the lights I guess you miss the fame, haha! I guess you miss everybody Hanging onto your name (fade out music and chorus) I guess you miss the lights I guess you miss everybody Kiss-kissing your name |

Oh my darling will you come to me
Shaking now just like a willow tree So tell me what's the story This track we'll ride to glory Coming home Pretty karla and her russian clothes Clapboard house and a different nose Love keeps a candle burning These steel wheels are turning Back for home Come in out of the rain Come out of the night Out on the midnight train Midnight train Come out of the light Come out of the rain Riding the midnight train Midnight train Moscow lights, well they dim and glow The taste is sweeter than it's driven snow So tell me what's the story This track to ride to glory Coming home Come out of the rain, come out of the lights, Out on the midnight train, midnight train Come out of the lights, come out in the rain, Riding the midnight train, midnight train Oh my darling will you come to me Shaking now just like a willow tree Come out of the lights, come out in the rain, Riding the midnight train, midnight train Out of the rain, live again, riding the midnight train, midnight train Come of the lights, into the rain, riding the midnight train, midnight train One little strange, come back again |

Don't you really love her, don't you really care
You've been looking forever, how did she get you there In the middle of madness, when all has gone In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon Isn't she so pretty, isn't she so fine Haven't you been blessed to hold her all the time In the middle of madness, when all has gone In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon (can't figure out this part) Have you found a heaven, try to see the worth, Looking at the future, she's right here on earth In the middle of madness, when all has gone In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon In the middle of madness, when all has gone In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes babylon |

One more day, with a tumble fall,
Down the money pit, with nothing to show Hey hey yeah Another twist, in the horror tale It's an open coffin, that needs one more nail Smell of money Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?) Maybe it's the smell of money Attracts me to you... Hey hey yeah money Two clean shirts I'm out on bail As the barroom baits They start to wail The smell of money Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?) Maybe it's the smell of money, that brings me to you Stretched out across the ceiling ?? Domes shimmer and glow Golden citadels While the autumn wind billows and flows Dancing nights, in the lost and found Move really nice to that money sound Smell of money, smell of money, smell of money, smell of money I need I bleed |

I'm not looking to change your mind,
There's a place, call it home It's no secret, the world unwinds Maybe now you're not alone It's just another day In the life of cowboy joe Straitlaced to the bone (this story will not play? ) You take the wheel and play the chance Suddenly the room's divided As in the way of true romance It's always undecided It's just another day In the life of cowboy joe Shipwrecked to the bay (this story will not play? ) Every time he climbs back up Smacked down with a dime It's evens or odds now Just ran out of time Love's a struggle, there's a fight No bone of contention So unhappy, well here's the bite That's the mother of invention It's just another day In the life of cowboy joe Strange place to play It's just another day In the life of cowboy joe |

Windows are closing, you smell the track
Traffic is heavy Up riding the rack Bodies are buried, freeways and wells Boneyards with vistas Gateways to hell When it's all over, You'll frown and fret Way down the line Where no angels tread Soldiers are gathering, not missing a beat A poetry reading, while reaping the wheat Out looking for Venus She's black marble on ice Cut to precision Weighted like dice When it's all over, You'll frown and fret Way down the line, where no angels tread Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't The world and his dog, won't care if you don't When it's all over, You'll frown and fret Way down the line, where no angels tread Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't The world and his dog won't care if you don't When it's all over, You'll frown and fret Way down the line, where no angels tread |

*Cold wide sweet highway the place where we'd all go
Went out like a razor sharp and we'd all let it roll Let it roll Let it roll, let it go Let it roll **She'd skid up, and we really let it down Laying it out, let it roll When these wheels get rolling, let them roll right over you The time will be sound and I'll always put it through Let it roll, let it roll Let it roll **Repeat *Repeat **Repeat |

Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks What it mounts up to I don't want it at all Lost you and I want you today * misty green and blue Love to love to love you Misty green and blue Love to love to love you To be something, to be with you Don't say that you'll never know Love to love to love you Half the time it could seem funny The other half is just too sad This west bound moon's they rise and fall Lost you and I want you today * repeat To be something, to be near you I don't know where I'm goin' to I've tried and I need you to stay |

Put your feet up maybe let the world pass by
Keep off the street, go away and wait to die What you don't see is what life means to me My woman says it ain't right For a man my age to fight She don't get it She ain't in it I'm pushed to the limit Two clean shirts, I'm puffing on an old cigar I still love women, sex and fancy cars What you don't conceive is just what I believe My doctor says it ain't right For a man my age to fight He don't get it He ain't in it I'm pushed to the limit Is it nice and cozy, sitting there in your evening chair Is your paper pressed like your string vest It's enough to make you rip out your hair Relations sit and wring their hands How long will I survive Here's the cherry, there's more spunk left Kiss my arse, I'm still alive You keep it nice and quiet boy, but please don't pacify me I'm just not ready for the shade of an old oak tree What you don't see is what life means to me And my dad's an angry man, sometimes like desperate dan And he gets it And he's in it He's pushed to the limit My doctor says it ain't right For a man my age to fight He says put out the light He don't get it He ain't in it I'm pushed to the limit |

Tell me now and I'll understand
Does venus hold you in the palm of her hand Has her blackness touched your very heart She'll smile sweetly as your world falls apart * And I just can't quit it babe I just can't stand the pain And I just can't quit it babe I keep running back again Little by little piece by piece Your defenses have all slipped away And real beauty's such an elusive thing Somewhere down the line you'll have to pay Repeat * Oh no, it's such a cold, cold feeling Cuts your body to the bone Oh no, it's a strange, strange feeling Loves been abandoned and I'm so alone And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer I've nothing left but this very life to save And evry night I feel that I'm a winner She's taking me down to the grave And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer I can't seem to chase the ghosts away And every night I get too high, I'm a winner I've nothing left but to pray And every night she makes me feel like a winner And every night she makes me think I'm a winner Venus smiles and encircles me And wraps me in a soft princely gown Waves of darkness rise like the sea In her addiction I will drown |
