Dave 'The Snake' Sabo

This time girl I've had enough
You're too hot to handle with kid gloves
It's too late I hear a knock on the door
The game's over baby I can't take it no more

*Breakout, Breakout
Take these chains from me
You held my heart for ransom
Baby, set it free
Breakout, Breakout
Your lies can't hide what I see
I'm better off on my own

Promises made me in the heat of the night (Whoa-oh-oh)
Those words were broken under bedroom lights (Whoa-oh)
Your lips they burn your body calls my name (Whoa-oh)
I can feel the fire but it's all in vain (Whoa-oh)

*Repeat

You say we'll meet around midnight
You're gonna make me feel oh so right
I'm saying oh no not tonight
You gotta let me go

*Repeat

You say we'll meet around midnight
You're gonna make me feel oh so right
I'm saying oh no not tonight
You gotta let me go

I've been lied to, you been cheated
I've been cried to, you been mistreated
I've been watching you, you want action
You need love and I need satisfaction

*I'm burning for love
Filled with desire
I can't stand the heat
And my heart's on fire
I can't get enough
It's down to the wire
I'm making my move, I'm looking for you
I'm burning for love

You're the victim it's in your eyes
I'm the suspect and love's the crime
Tensions mounting bodies shaking
I can't take the anticipation

*Repeat

Now that I got you in my sight
Can't take another sleepless night
Oh, no, no
You can run but you can't hide
You're the only one I need
To feel the fire inside

*Repeat

Now that you're gone, I can see what
Was going on and how you lied
When you'd said you'd never love again

Friends telephone and they say
You weren't out alone last night
Can't you see that this broken heart
Is killing me

Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me

*Come back cause I need your love
Come back got to have your love
Come back bring your loving back to me
Come back cause it's been so long
Come back, and my love's still strong
Come back bring your loving back to me

You play with words play with love
It's just your silly way
I'm a fool cause I need you by my side again

Now it's too late you walk by
With another man
And I stand alone
Cause I know that you're not coming home

Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me

*Repeat

Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me

*Repeat

You need someone to make it last
No Romeos who'll love and leave you fast
They fade away
Tonight you're not gonna be alone
Making love on the telephone
Baby, baby if you can hold on
I'm gonna take you all the way tonight
I like 'em down and dirty, so hold on tight

*Come on get ready
Come on get ready

You're looking sharp in your dancing shoes
You got the style and you got the moves
Oh you're so hot, girl and on the loose
You're caught up in a danger zone
Just seventeen but you act full grown
The night life, baby, is turning you on
You want to take me all the way tonight
Take my hand, you can feel the heat
Make you feel alright

*Repeat

Come on
Come on

I was lost, then I found you
Never thought it would be this way
I showed you my heart, left it unguarded
Like a thief in the night you stole it away

Now you're gone, the pain goes on and on
I still hear you whispering to me through the shadows of the night

*Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
You're running on into a cold night
You're just a number of the love lies

All alone you call it survival
He lost at love to a stranger's lines
Walking the streets, searching with vengeance
For a face that he dreams of night after night

Time goes on, all signs of life stolen, simple dreams were all broken
Best of times become desperation but how many tears must you cry to
survive

*Repeat

They met late one night in the city
Both men knew only one would stay
Scratched a picture of a heart on a bullet
And took his life away

*Repeat

Bet the black comes in red, crimes of passion rule my head
I need you, you want him, dressed to kill we live in sin

I know the game you play, I know it well
You just keep on playin' when all the bets are down

*Roulette you're goin' round in a spin,
Caught up in a game you just can't win
Roulette, you're just a fantasy
It's everything that you want it to be

Play the numbers one by one, fire the shot and the damage is done
Restless lovers pay the price, cheating hearts don't think twice

When you make the rules no one can slow you down
You just keep 'em waiting when you're on the prowl

*Repeat (x2)

Backdoor runner got away this time
Leaves her mark at the scene of the crime
Nothing matters, no faces, no names
You're just a number, it's all the same
You just love to play the game

I know the game you play, I know it well
You just keep on playin' when all the bets are down

*Repeat (x2)

On the streets where you live
girls talk about social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and pain
A touch of sable in their eyes
(All your life)
All your life all you've asked
when's your daddy gonna talk to you
You were living in another world
tryin;' to get your message through

* No one heard a single word you said
they should have seen it in your eyes
what was going around your heart

** Ooh she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh she's a little runaway

A different line every night
guarented to blow your mind
See you out on the streets
Call me for a wild time
So you sit home alone 'cause
there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows
left there to look at you

You know she likes the light at nights
on the neon broardway signs
She don't really mind
it's only love she hopped to find


** Repeat

* Repeat

Ooh she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say

Ooh she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away

Ooh she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say

Ooh she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away

What more can I do, there's nothing I haven't tried
Still it's so hard for her to notice
I've tried hard to be straight
There's nothing left I can say
If only she would look my way

*(She don't know me) she don't know
(She don't see me) she don't care
(She can't hear me) she can't hear
(Can not help me) she don't want
(She don't want me) Like I want her
(Like I want her) I've got to tell her
(Got to tell her) That I love her
(That I love her)
She doesn't even know my name

I dream of when she'll be mine
I dream of crossing that line
And holding her so tender
Dreaming it could come true
So many thins I would do
If only you'd give me a chance

* repeat

Would you be content to see me crying
After all those little games you put me through
After all I've done for you you're lying
Wouldn't it be nice to tell the truth

Didn't somebody somewhere say
You're gonna take a fall
I gave you everything
Now here's the curtain call

*Shot through the heart as I lay there alone
In the dark through the heart
It's all part of this game that we call love

Now you've come back here to say you're sorry
But I don't know who you're talking to
It could be the man I used to be, girl
But I've grown up and now I'm over you

Standing there just a live wire
With nowhere left to turn
You were gonna set the world on fire
When will you ever learn?

*Repeat

Didn't somebody somewhere say
You're gonna take a fall
I gave you everything
Now here's the curtain call
And I'm shot...

Baby does what baby please
And baby must have what she sees
But not this time, the tables turned
Baby, you just got burned

*Repeat

The clock strikes ten
Out on the streets again
I been looking for something to please me
since I don't know when
Out on the dark side of town
Another rumble's gone down
And life on the high side
isn't what this boys about

She's got something I want man,
it's something I need
It takes more than the night to satisfy me...

*I stand accused
I can always run to you
Any road that you choose
I can always run to you
I stand accused
I can always run to you
I run to you
Baby, I can always run

To a heart of chrome
And a soul of steel
We've done more white lines than
you'll know any one we could steal
And when I give her the gun
You know she feels so right
And we don't let go when we're alone
when I'm holding her so tight

She's got something I want man,
it's something I need
It takes more than the night to satisfy me

* Repeat

And when the morning comes and I go to sleep
When I close my eyes she's waiting for me
I know that tonight she'll satisfy me

* Repeat

Young and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Cause baby was born with the beat
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin'
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
She's gonna get ya.
Running wild
When me and my boys hit the streets
Right on time
She's here to make my night complete
Then I'm long gone I got another show
One more town, one mile to go
One endless night of fantasy
Is all she left of her with me
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin'
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
When we're together
In and out of love
It's too much forever
In and out of love
Hear what I'm saying
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
She's gonna get you
In and out of love

Listen people can't you hear the voices that are crying out.
There's a hunger burning in the heart of their souls.
Maybe now that I got you let me tell you what I'm talking 'bout
Stand up and shout tonight we'll lose control
I been down and mistreated
Now we're standing undefeated.
I'm the King of the Mountain
I'm the King of the Hill
I'm the King of the Mountain
I'm the King of the Hill
You spend your life working 9 to 5 it's like doing time
Boss man says "Hey boy, you'll never be no good"
With the night there's a magic in the air that makes us come alive
Tonight's the night they can't put you down, no one could.
I been down and mistreated
Now we're standing undefeated
I'm the King of the Mountain
I'm the King of the Hill
I'm the King of the Mountain
I'm the King of the Hill
Listen people can't you hear the voices that are crying out.
There's a hunger burning in the heart of their souls.
Maybe now that I got you let me tell you what I'm talking 'bout
Stand up and shout tonight we'll lose control
I been down and mistreated
We won't be cheated
Now we're standing undefeated...
I'm the King of the Mountain
I'm the King of the Hill
I'm the King of the Mountain
I'm the King of the Hill

Another long and sleepless night
You need someone to hold you tight
Sometime love don't know wrong from right
Another long and senseless
Fight was all you knew they're all the same
There's no one left to take the blame
What's behind this masquerade
How do we win these losin'
Games we play, words we say
Cutting wounds we know they run so deep
Leave it all behind you
Or someday love will find you
Only lonely -- I can't stop hurting you
Only lonely -- but I can't stop loving you
Only lonely -- how much pain does it take
It's getting sometimes I don't know
When to stot when to go
Sometimes we're so afraid to
Let it show
A stolen kiss so out of place
It wipes the smile right off your face
And when those feelings start
We let them go, let them go
Games we play, words we say
Cutting wounds that run so deep
Leave it all behind you
Or someday love will find you
Only lonely -- I can't stop hurting you
Only lonely -- but I can't stop loving you
Only lonely -- so tell me babe, how much pain
can you take before your heart breaks?
I got this timebomb ticking in my head
This time I think she's gonna blow
How can I say get away
When I just can't let go
Games we play, words we say
Cutting wounds that run so...
Leave it all behind you
Or someday love will find you
Only lonely -- I can't stop hurting you
Only lonely -- but I can't stop loving you
Only lonely -- I can't stop hurting you
Only lonely -- I can't stop loving you
I can't stop...

Riding high, then shot down
I load my guns to fire another round
I look deep into your eyes
And can't run there's nowhere left to hide.
Don't stop, no it's much too late
When the night comes I can't wait
Oh I live, love to loose control
It makes me crazy I want to let you know.
Oh, no, I don't want to fall
Oh, oh, can't you hear me calling
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I'm the one
When I'm next to you -- next to you.
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me.
I got to get to you, get to you, get to you.
There's a thrill, in the chase
We won't lose when we meet face to lace.
Love, games a means without and end.
I go down but I'll be back again
Thru' the night with no retreat
When your with me in my sleep.
Oh, no, I don't want to fall
Oh, oh, can't you hear me calling
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I'm the one
When I'm next to you -- next to you.
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me.
I got ot get to you, get to you, get to you...
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I'm the one
When I'm next to you -- next to you.
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me.
I got ot get to you, get to you, get to you.
I can see you
I feel you every night
I need you
But I'm only dreaming
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I'm the one
When I'm next to you -- next to you.
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me.

After the smoke clears
When it's down to you and I
When the sun appears
And there's nothing left but goodbyes
We'll just turn and walk away
How could we let it end like this
Just turn and walk away
Should we seal it with a kiss
It's too late
Now you're out and on the run
It's too late
Held up in love without a gun
Silent night
We hold up our candle light
Silent night
The night our love died
No words to say
And we're both too tired to fight
Just hold me close and don't let go...
It was all so simple when
You were to be queen and I'd be your king.
I guess those dreams got lost
Cause baby you're still you and I'm still me.
Now letting go
It's always the hardest part to fight
When we both know
We're just two more victims of the night
It's too late
Too late to wonder why
Much too late
To save a love that's died.
Silent night
We hold up our candle light
Silent night
The night our love died
No words to say
Now we're both too tired to fight
Just hold me close and don't let go
Just hold me close and don't let me go
After the smoke cleared
It was down to you and I
When the sun appeared
There was nothing left but goodbyes...
Silent night

In the heat of the street of the city
A young boy hides the pain
And he walks so tall, trying to hang on
But he knows he's going down again
I know he's going down...
Darkness fades he's the prince of his city
In a place where they all know your name
You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed.
Your just a pawn in a losin' game
You lose at life it ain't no game
Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive
The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...
All alone in a place where the lonely
They all have to walk through the rain
And they dance on the edge where you only
Only pray that it has to end
That the night ain't no friend
Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive
The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...
Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive
The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...
These four walls they could tell you some stories
About lying and dying and fame
There's a price that you pay for the glory
About losing and choosing and pain.
Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
In the night, hear their cries, in the night
Stay alive
In the night, stay alive, in the night

One heart one other
They met last summer
One move she started
Now they love this way
The pain of pleasure
Lying together
You're at their mercy
As the telephone' ringing on
No one said there'd be nights like this
Risk your life for a stolen kiss
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss then say goodbye
For the price of love
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss then say goodbye
For the price of love
Each move goes so slow
Until the doors close
No secret codes now
No words as baby goes down
One last dance then goodbye
Practicing his love lies
He runs to his wife
And your left holding the knife
You live your life to take that chance
When your a master of the art of romance
And you know you won't cross that line
Until that last slow dance
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss, then say goodbye
For the price of love
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
Alone our lonely hearts would die.
It's all in the game
And the way that it's played
There's no time to wonder why
To catch you when you fall
Answer when you call
No one can hear you cry
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss, then say goodbye
For the price of love
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss, then say goodbye
For the price of love

We would take no prisoners
'Cause there was nobody giving in
They came walking through my jungle
And met an angel about to sin
I heard a voice from inside of me
When the youth of America cried:
Can you help me, hear me call
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
When you're a part of society
You know, the heart of your innocence dies
When we met with Authority
I looked him right between the eyes
'Cause all we had was our innocence
All we had was our hearts to try to win the fight you tell me...
Can you save me, from it all
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
'Cause I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
Don't let me fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
Can you help me, hear me call
Can you save me, from it all...
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire

In a time, in a place
In a world, they forgot
Lives the heart of me
A part that just won't die
Just a boy, not a man
Sent to war, in a land
They said we'd fight for their freedom
But I felt like a hired hand
Sometimes I have to find my way
Sometimes I have to get away
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Working hard, for a pass
Got the night, make it last
It was a time to remember
All my life I would never forget
In a bar, breathing smoke
Snorting whiskey, drinking coke
It was a time when no one would die
And there wasn't a care
Sometimes I wish it was that way
Cause sometimes I have to get away
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
This guy turns me around and he's pointing up the stairs
I found myself in her doorway but there wasn't anybody there
She walked in the room with nothing on but a red light
And with a smile she got so close to me.
She whispered something 'bout midnight
You know I didn't understand a word she said
But it felt so good
She knew that I didn't have any money
But baby I knew she would...
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road

If you could see inside my heart
Then you would understand
I'd never mean to hurt you
Baby I'm not that kind of man

I might not say I'm sorry
Yeah, I might talk tough sometimes
And I might forget the little things
Or keep you hanging on the line

In a world that don't know Romeo and Juliet
Boy meets girl and promises we can't forget
We are cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
Into the fire we cry

I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
I'd do anything
I'd lie for you
You know it's true
Baby I'd die for you
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
If it came right down to me and you
You know it's true, Baby I'd die for you

I might not be a savior
And I'll never be a king
I might not send you roses
Or buy you diamond rings

But if I could see inside you
Maybe I'd know just who we are
'Cause our love is like a hunger
Without it we would starve

In a world that don't know Romeo and Juliet
Boy meets girl and promises we can't forget
We are cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
Into the fire we cry

I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
I'd do anything
I'd lie for you
You know it's true
Baby I'd die for you
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
If it came right down to me and you
You know it's true, Baby I'd die for you

The weekend comes to this town
Seven days too soon
For the ones who have to make up
What we break up of their rules

Well I saw Captain Kidd on Sunset
Tell his boys they're in command
While Chino danced a tango
With a broomstick in his hand

He said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side

Chorus:
Let it rock, let it go
You can't stop the fire burning out of control
Let it rock, let it go
With the night you're on the loose
You got to let it rock

We go down to the Broadway
Where everybody goes
To get on their rockin' horse
And blast that radio
Well I saw Roxie on the table
Her girlfriend down below
They'll give it to the king of swing
Before it's time to go

They said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side

Chorus

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers 'Baby it's okay, someday'

We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

Chorus

We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

Chorus

As I sit in this smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottle's my only friend

Remember when we used to park
On Butler Street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat

Remember when we used to talk
About busting out - we'd break their hearts
Together - forever

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and the radio
We didn't need no place to go

Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band they played our favorite song
And I held you in my arms so strong

We danced so close
We danced so slow
And I swore I'd never let you go
Together - forever

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

I guess you'd say we used to talk
About busting out
We'd break their hearts
Together - forever

As I sit in this smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottle's my only friend

Remember when we used to park
On Butler Street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat

Remember when we used to talk
About busting out - we'd break their hearts
Together - forever

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and the radio
We didn't need no place to go

Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band they played our favorite song
And I held you in my arms so strong

We danced so close
We danced so slow
And I swore I'd never let you go
Together - forever

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

I guess you'd say we used to talk
About busting out
We'd break their hearts
Together - forever

playin' to win Raise your hands When

you want to let it go Raise your

hands When you want to let a feeling

show Raise your hands From New

York to Chicago Raise your hands From

New Jersey to Tokyo Raise your hands

You can read it in the papers
In some places it comes in thirty-two flavors
But you wouldn't tell no one
Your favorite if you could

From the White House to the alleys
From the President down to Long Tall Sally
Can't live with it but
You'll die without it - yes you would

Senorita's in the kitchen
She's a fistful of dynamite
You call 911 but you
Can't stop the fun tonite, it's alright

Chorus:
You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's something that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
Because love is a social disease

Where you look you can find it
Try to run but you're always behind it
So you play hide and seek like a blind kid
Till you're caught - yeah you're caught

So you'll say that you had some
But they took it and held it for ransom
Were they tall, dark, skinny or
Handsome - you won't talk

So you telephone your doctor
Just to see what pill to take
You know there's no prescription
Gonna wipe this one away

Chorus

So full of high grade octane
She could run the bullet train on 38 double d's
Now you know for sure, you know the cure
To make a blind man see

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

[Chorus:]
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone all you do is think

[Chorus]

I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive
Dead or alive [x4]

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

[Chorus:]
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone all you do is think

[Chorus]

I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive
Dead or alive [x4]

Joey comes from a sacred part of town
Where sometimes you talk so tough
Your feet don't touch the ground
And the sidewalk soldiers sing their midnite blues
While the old men recite their story lines
About when I was young like you

Chorus:
They say: Oh yeah
We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
We were wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets

A member of the boy's brigade
Had a date with the girl next door
You know it made her daddy crazy
But it only made her want him more
They weren't looking for trouble
You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight
So she headed out thru the bathroom window
What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright

Chorus

Wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets

Sometimes this town ain't pretty
But you know it ain't so bad
Just like a girl who looks so happy
When inside she's so sad
In here we got this code of honor
Nobody's going down
You don't walk in vain
Through the kid's parade
'Cause this is my hometown

Joey comes from a sacred part of town
Where sometimes you talk so tough
Your feet don't touch the ground
And the sidewalk soldiers sing their midnite blues
While the old men recite their story lines
About when I was young like you

Chorus:

We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats

Just like a girl who looks so happy
When inside she's so sad
In here we got this code of honor
Nobody's going down
You don't walk in vain
Through the kid's parade
'Cause this is my hometown

She wasn't young but still a child
There still was innocence in painted smiles
She called to me as I passed her by
Lady of the night looked in my eyes
She said: I been through some changes
But one thing always stays the same

Chorus:
Without love, there's nothing without love
Nothing else can get through the night
Nothing else feels right without love

I saw a man down on lonely street
A broken man who looked like me
And no one knows the pain that he's been living
He lost his love and still hasn't forgiven
He said: I've been through some changes
But one thing always stays the same

Chorus

There's nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
And nothing would mean nothing without love

I see my life
There's some things I took for granted
Love's passed me by
So many second chances
I was afraid
But I won't be afraid no more

Chorus

There's nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
And nothing would mean nothing without love

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

[Chorus:]
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name

Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

[Chorus]

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

[Chorus:]
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name

Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

[Chorus]

I feel I'm burning up with fever
But the fire's feeling really good tonight
And it's alright
I'm gonna see Sahara Jack and Suntan Sally
Somebody tells me even Tommy's coming down tonight
If Gina says it's alright

I'm gonna see those Senoritas
Lying under the sun
They're greasing it up
With know I want to be their blanket
Gonna tell every girl
Hey, baby... You're the one...

Oh tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket cause you know I just got paid
And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade

When the sun goes down that's when the street heats up
Senorita Margarita fills your empty cup tonight -
She make you feel alright

A good time here don't cost much money
Just a little sweet talking and a pretty native honey
And you're set for life
Or one hell of a nigth

I'm gonna see those sons of beaches
Out there living it up the surf
And the sand,
Man that life ain't so tough
So get me in the action so I can tell
Every girl she's the one

Oh tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket cause you know I just got paid
And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade

*Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can
Cure my disease

I ain't got a fever got a permanent disease
It'll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy
I got lots of money but it isn't what I need
Gonna take more than a shot to get this poison out of me
I got all the symptoms, count 'em 1,2,3

First you need
**That's what you get for falling in love
Then you bleed
You get a little but it's never enough
On your knees
That's what you get for falling in love
And now this boy's addicted cause your kiss is the drug

* Repeat

Bad, bad medicine
Bad, bad medicine

I don't need no needle
To be giving me a thrill
And I don't need no anesthesia
Or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addition
That doesn't leave a track
I got a jones for your affection
Like a money on my back

There ain't no paramedic
Gonna save this heart attack

When you need

**Repeat

*Repeat

Bad, bad medicine
Bad, bad medicine

I need a respirator cause I'm running out of breath
You're an all night generator wrapped is stockings and a dress
When you find your medicine you take what you can get
Cause if there's something better baby well they haven't found it yet

*Repeat

*Repeat

Bad, bad medicine
Bad, bad medicine

I can still remember
When I was just a kid
When friends were friends forever
And what you said was what you did

Well, it was me and Daddy and Bobby
We cut each other's hands
And held tight to a promise
Only brothers understand

But we were so young (so young)
One for all and all for one (for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all was said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Well, Bobby was our hero
Cause he hed a fake I.D.
I got busted stealing cigarettes
And he took the rap for me

Danny knew this white trash girl
We each threw in a ten
She took us to this cheap motel
And turned us into men

We were so young (so young)
One for all and all for one (for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Now Bobby, he's an uptown lawyer
Danny, he's a medicin man
And me, I'm just the singer
In a long haired rock'n'roll band

Through the years and miles between us
It's been a long and lonely ride
But if I got a call in the dead of the night
I'd be right by your side

Blood on blood, blood on blood

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Blood on blood

Rainy night and the worked all day
We both got jobs caus there's bills to play
We got something they can't take away
Our love, our lives
Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
We got something that'll never die
Our dreams, our pride

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

Light a candle, blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
It ain't fancy, baby that's OK
Our time, our way

So hold me close better hand on tight
Buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitching down the road of life
Our world, our flight

If we stand side by side (all night)
There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright)
And I'll know that you'll be live
In my heart till the day I die

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

When I was just a boy
The devil took my hand
Took me from my home
He made me a man
So, don't talk to me about sympathy now
Cause you can't dance if you
Take a chance on your rosary

I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound train

It's been a millions years
That I been gone
I been everywhere, now I'm heading home
Been a lot of girls, but
There's a woman I know
Said don't take no plane
Better take a train
Cause I like it real slow

All the way back home
On the homebound train
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound train

I'm on my way
I'm heading home
To be with my baby
Where I belong
Coming down the tracks now
See, I done my time
I'm going back now
To that home of mine
Well, here I come baby

Here I come baby
Here I come baby

All the way back home
On that homebound train
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On that homebound train

I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say good-bye
Well as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love is suicide

You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore

Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

*I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday

And baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drink, I'll be the wine

*Repeat

And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

*Repeat

If you're ready, I'm willing and able
Help me lay my cards out on the table
You're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking

What you get ain't always what you see
But satisfaction's guaranteed
They say what you give is always what you need
So if you want me to lay my hands on you

Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,

Lay your hands on me

I'm a fighter, I'm a poet, I'm a preacher
I've been to school and baby, I've been the teacher
If you show me how to get up off the ground
I can show you how to fly and never ever come back down

Everything you want is what I need
Satisfaction's guaranteed
But the ride don't never ever come for free
If you want me to lay my hands on you

Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,

Lay your hands on me

Solo

Don't you know I only aim to please
If you want me to lay my hands on you

Lay your hands on me

I don't no license
To sign on no line
And I don't need no preacher
To tell me you're mine
I don't need no diamonds
I don't need new bride
I just need you, baby
To look me in the eye

I know they have a hand time
And your Daddy don't approve
But I don't need your Daddy
Telling us what we should do

Now there's a million questions
I could ask about our lives
But I only need one answer
To get me through the night

So I say baby, can you tell me just where we fit in
I call it love they call it living in sin
Is it you and me or just his world we live in
I say we're living on love they say we're living in
sin

Is it right for both our parents
Who fight it out most nights
Then pray for God's forgivness
When they both turn out the lights
Or wear that ring of diamonds
When your heart is made of stone
You can talk but still say nothing
You stay together but alone

Or is it right to hold you
And kiss your lips goodnight
They say the promise is forever
If you sign it on the dotted line

Baby, can you tell me just wher we fit in
I call it love they call it living in sin
Is it you and me or just this world we live in
I say we're living on love they say we're living in
sin

Solo

Baby, can you tell me just wher we fit in
I call it love they call it living in sin
Is it you and me or just this world we live in
I say we're living on love they say we're living in
sin

I call it love they call it living in sin

Living in sin

I don't know where to begin
I don't know where we fit in

Living in sin

Well I wake up this morning I rolled out of bed
I felt like a dog who's been kicked in the head
Checked out my mail there was letter that read
Love for sale, love for sale

I picked up the phone I called everyone I could
I let my fingers do the walking through the telephone book
You can't catch a fish if you ain't got the hook
Love for sale, love for sale

Send up a signal throw me a line
Somebody explain " this funny Valentine"
It might not be signal but it sure ain't a crime
I'm one step from crazy and two steps behind

I called Lt. Columbo from my TV set
I've tried the Dating Game I haven't found her yet
I'm hoping that she's looking like a Penthouse Pet
Love for sale, love for sale

Solo

We've been living together 3 years,
2 hours, 20 minutes maybe four houndred beers
You can't shop for love when you're shopping at Sears
Love for sale, love for sale

I guess I've learnt my lesson it was easy to see
My old lady she played this joke on me
I never looked where I forgot it would be
Love for sale, love for sale

Ride cowboy ride
Through the backdoor of Heaven
To the other side
I wanna know the danger of the kiss
At midnight

Ride cowboy ride
Yeah I learned my lessons
Here's a story to tell
So I make my confessions
In this sleazy motel
I could be a romantic
I could try my best lines
But I ain't got the money
And we ain't got the time

Ride cowboy ride
Through the backdoor of Heaven
To the other side
I wanna know the danger of a kiss
At midnight
I wanna be a big shot
Ride ride ride

Ride cowboy ride
Through the backdoor of Heaven
To the other side
I wanna know the danger of the kiss
At midnight

So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more that just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you want to know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun
In this world tonight

And when you spit, you better mean it
You got to make 'em all believe it
If you're gonna be the one

Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to

So you want to be the big time
Some people have to drag you down
There's no living in the backseat
If you're gonna drive through town
And when you pray for independence
Boy, you better stand your ground

You got to give it all you got now
Or you might get shot down
Fight hard until the battle is won

Stick to your gun
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
But only if you have to

Solo

Well, you know that I been through it
I got the scars to prove it
Fight hard and the Battle is yours

Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to

But stick to your guns

I tried to make you happy
You know I tried so hard to be
What you hoped that I would be
I gave you what wanted
God couldn't give you what you need
You wanted more from me
Than I could ever be
You wanted heart and soul
But you didn't know, baby

Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart

Wild is the wind,
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
Wild is the wind

You need someone to hold you
Somebody to be there night and day
Someone to kiss your fears away
I just went on pretending
Too weak, too proud, too tough to say
I couldn't be the one
To make your dreams come true
That's why I had to run
Though I needed you, baby

Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart tonight
That tears us apart

Wild is the wind,
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
Wild is the wind

Solo

Maybe a better man
Would live and die for you
Baby, a better man would
Never say goodbye to you

Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart tonight
That tears us apart

Wild is the wind,
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
Wild is the wind

What time is it baby, is it that time again
When snow will be falling, friends will be calling
You know it's time when, there'll be carolers singing silent night
I love when they sing, the feeling it brings
It's warm as a fire is bright

Soon there'll be toys for good girls and boys
And reindeer are heading our way
Yes, and santa will come down the chimney above
There's one thing I wanted to say

I wish every day could be like christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like christmas, I do

I saw a child sit with old mr. clause,
Looked him in the eye and he asked old santa what peace on earth was
Now the old man grew cautious, on how he would say


That it's the greatest gift what you could give, every day

I wish every day could be like christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like christmas, I do

Now the mistle-toes and the house of lords
All the world seems at ease tonight
And all that I ask when these precious moments pass
Is why can't every day be so bright

I wish every day could be like christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like christmas, I do
Honest I do, yes I do now
Very merry christmas

Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

When you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely

I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

First time I heard the music
I thought it was my own
I could feel it in my heartbeat
I could feel it in my bones
My momma thinks I'm crazy
My dad says I'm insane
I got this boogie woogie fever
That's burning in my veins

They tried to take me to a doctor
But it's too late for me
Then they took me to a preacher
That they saw on their TV
Who said that for a small donation
My lost soul would be saved
I said I don't think so preacher
I'll come back another day

All I want, is to be a Rolling Stone
They don't understand what we all know

It feels so good that it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a pornograf needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock & roll

My teachers didn't like me they always
Tried to put me down
'Cause I wore my hair too long
I played my music way too loud

Every little boy wants to learn to play guitar
So he can pick up all the chicks
And be a rock-n-roll star

They said it won't last, but they misunderstood
If people think it's bad then I'll be bad for good

It feels so good that it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a pornograf needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock & roll

Blame it on the love, blame it on the love
Dad don't understand what the little girls know
Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll

All I wanted, all I ever needed
My guitar gave to me
Every song I've sung blame it on love

Every war I've won blame it on love
Everything I've done blame it on love
Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll

It feels so good that it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a pornograf needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock & roll

Blame it on the love, blame it on the love
Dad don't understand
what the little girls know
Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll

Across the border they turn
Water into wine
Some say it's the devil's blood
They're squeezing from the vine
Some say it's a saviour
In these hard and desperate times
For me it helps me to forget
That we're just born to die

I came here like so many did
To find the better life
To find my piece of easy street
To finally be alive
And I know nothing good comes easy
And all good things take some time
I made my bed I'll lie in it
To die in it's the crime

You can't help but prosper
Where the streets are paved with gold
They say the oil wells ran deeper here
than anybody's known
I packed up on my wife and kid
And left them back at home

Now there's nothing in this paydirt
The ghosts are all I know
Now the oil's gone
The money's gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we're hangin' on

Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hand
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out of here alive

In the blessed name of Jesus
I heard a preacher say
That we are God's children
And He'd be back someday
And I hoped that he knew
Something as he drank his cup of wine
I didn't have too good of a feeling
As I head out to the night

I cursed the sky to open
I begged the clouds for rain
I prayed to God for water
For this burning in my veins
It was like my soul's on fire
And I had to watch the flames
All my dreams went up in ashes
And my future blew away

Now the oil's gone
And the money's gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we're hangin' on

Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hand
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out of here alive

Men spend their whole lives
Waiting praying for their big reward
But it seems sometimes
The payoff leaves you feeling
Like a dirty whore
If I could choose the way I'll die
Make it by the gun or knife
'Cause the other way there's too much pain
Night after night after night

Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hand
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out of here alive

I see you looking over your shoulder
Tell me who do you think's out there
You're reaching for your four leaf clover
But baby there ain't no luck down there
I swear that there's no heart in this city
It's here the slogan reads
"Do your time" everybody's doing
their sentence
It's just there ain't nobody here
Who knows just what's the crime
I watched my father live a lie here
I'd rather die than fade away
I read the rules
And yeah I know them
Still you ain't ever gonna
Make me play the game of
Fear
Fear
Fear
Fear

Running with the rats
Through the city
Makes you feel like you're
A partner in crime
Girl once you won't stop to watch
That little girl did

Hey baby won't you stop and hear me
Just being here we're
breathing heart attacks
We can run and chase
The setting sun we can run
And we won't ever look back

Take my hand I know we'll make it
I'll let nothing slow us down
I know you want to curse
This place but there's only
One thing that's stopping us now

Fear fear fear
Of a new thing
Fear fear fear
Of the brass ring

You ain't one for taking chances
You work and live and breathe that 9 to 5
Still that's what you call living
That's surviving to me

And surviving is living to die in
Fear

All I know is what I've been sold
You can read my life like a fortune told
I've seen the dream, there's no land of Oz
But I got my brain and I got a heart
And courage built I won't let go
What we need right now is ....soul

I can't do this, you can't do that
They feed us lines but I won't act
And all good things will come to pass
But the truth is all you have to have
And would you lie for it?
(Do you) cry for it?
(Would you) die for it?
Would you

I believe, I believe
With every breath that I breathe
You and me can turn a whisper to a scream
I believe, I believe

You know what you came here for
You'll pay the cost,
like it's your cross to bear
Are we the ones that put it there
Would you scheme for it
scream for it, bleed for it
Would you

I belive, I believe
Believe we're still worth
The fight you'll see
There's no hope for this world tonight
I believe, I believe

Don't look up on your movie screens
In record stores or magazines
Close your eyes and you will see
That you are all you really need

I believe, I believe
With every breath that I breathe
You and me can turn a
whisper to a scream
I believe, I believe

The last time I saw her
Was the night she said goodbye
She said that love's a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by
As she packed up her belongings
She wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll
Off her face
As we both tried so hard
Not to cry she said

I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you

I tried so hard to remember
Where when how why love went away
I tried to drown myself in pity
But the whiskey kept calling your name

I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings
All the things that money brings
And the servants to paint the sky blue
And I worked so hard seven days a week
And built a fortress for your heart to keep
If I could I'd wrap these words up for you

I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you

I may have built for you a dreamhouse
But never thought you were alone
I filled the party up with company
But never made our house a home
All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth
All I got is my guitar ... but all I want is you

What time is it baby, is it that time again
When snow will be falling, friends will be calling
You know it's time when, there'll be carolers singing silent night
I love when they sing, the feeling it brings
It's warm as a fire is bright

Soon there'll be toys for good girls and boys
And reindeer are heading our way
Yes, and santa will come down the chimney above
There's one thing I wanted to say

I wish every day could be like christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like christmas, I do

I saw a child sit with old mr. clause,
Looked him in the eye and he asked old santa what peace on earth was
Now the old man grew cautious, on how he would say


That it's the greatest gift what you could give, every day

I wish every day could be like christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like christmas, I do

Now the mistle-toes and the house of lords
All the world seems at ease tonight
And all that I ask when these precious moments pass
Is why can't every day be so bright

I wish every day could be like christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like christmas, I do
Honest I do, yes I do now
Very merry christmas

Seven days of saturday
Is all that I need
Got no use for Sunday
'Cause I don't rest in peace
Don't need no Mondays
Or the rest of the week
I spend a lot of time in bed
But baby I don't like to sleep no

I won't lie to you
I'm necer gonna cry to you
I'll probably drive you wild 8 days a week

Until I'm 6 feet under
Baby I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

So you're looking for some action
I got got everything you need
Better keep your motor running
'cause I was built for speed
This ain't no slumber party
Got no time for catching z's
If they say that that ain't healthy
Well then living's a disease

We're never going to die baby
Come on let me drive you crazy
We'll make every night another New Year's Eve

Till I'm six feet under
I won't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead
Gonna live while I'm alive,
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Seven days of Saturday
Is all that I need

Got no use for Sunday
'Cause I don't rest in peace
I was born to live
You know I wasn't born to die
But if they party down in heaven
I'll be sure to be on time

Until I'm six feet under
I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

I feel like I'm exploding
Going out of my head
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Till I'm six feet under
And they lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead
Gonna live while I'm alive, sleep when I'm dead

If I was your mother
Would you let me hold your hnad
Would you say you were my baby
Would you always be my friedn

If I was your mother
Could I teach you what's right
Could I tell you stories
Maybe tuck you in
And kiss you sweet goodnight

Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was your mother

Would you always believe me
'Cause I'd wake up in the middle
Of the night
Just to see if you need me

Tell me there's no mother
To who you're tellig your secrets
And would you tell me
'Bout all the boys you been
Bringing home to meet me

Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours

Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother

When love is blood
You're never on trial
Love don't get deeper
Than a mother & child
Oh baby, I got to get that
Close to you

Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours

Tell me what I got to be
To make you a part of me
There's no one else you'd ever need
If I was your

Mother, mother
If I was your mother
Mother, mother

Mother, mother
If I was your mother
Mother, mother

You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with a fire, just for you now
Until the end of time
I would do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
To have you in these arms tonight
Baby I want you like the roses
Want the rain
You know I need you
Like a poet needs the pain
I would give anything
My blood my love my life

If you were in these arms tonight
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonights

We stared at the sun
And we made a promise
A promise this world would never blind us
These are my words
Our words were our songs
Our songs are our prayers
These prayers keep me strong
It's what I believe
If you were in these arms tonight

If you were in these arms tonight
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonights

Your clothes are still scatteder
All over our room
This old place still smells like
Your cheap perfume
Everything here reminds me of you
And there's nothing that I
Wouldn't do to be in your arms

And these were our words
They keep me strong
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonights

Mother mother tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be won

Father father please believe me
I am laying down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son

Everybody needs somebody to love (mother, mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate (please believe me)
Everybody's bitching
'cause they can't get enough
And it's hard to hold on
When there's no one to lean on

* Faith
you know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith
don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith

Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me al's forgiven
And just hide behind your pride

Everybody needs somebody to love (mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate (please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding
'cause the times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream on

*Repeat

Walking in the footsteps
Of society's lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever

To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Trying to wash away the pain
Mother father

There's things I've done I can't erase
Every night we fall from grace

It's hard with the world in yours face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on

Faith
you know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith
don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to keep the faith
Faith
now it's not too late
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
Keep the faith

You been robbed
You been used
You been crucified and
You been abused
You been sacrificen and
Now you're confused
Ain't it the truth

You got a hole in your head
And a cold empty spot
In your big brass bed
When you're mad at the world and
You feel like you're losing control
All you need to get by is
A little bit o soul

When you've lost in the flood
And you feel like you been
Kicked through the mud
You know they still
Haven't found the drug
To pick us up

Feeling down, misunderstood
You know these times
They ain't looking so good
When you're mad at the world and
You feel like you're losing control
What we all need to get by is
A little o soul

Whoa oh
Little bit of soul
What we all need
To survive
Is just
A little bit o soul

Everyone's complaining
Nothing but frustration
The king has pissed in
Your pot of gold
It ain't entertaining spending
So much time in the hole
Send down
A little bit o soul

When you're mad at the world
And you feel like
You're losing control
What we all need
To get by is just
A little bit o soul

Whoa oh little bit o soul

Whoa oh little bit o soul

Whoa oh little bit o soul

Dear Lord, Jesus, Buddha, Allah or can I just
call you Joe
I've got a lot of things to tell you and some
things I gotta know
I'm tired of hearing talk about this world's
about to end
If we can die together then can't we all be
friends
I gotta know hey, I gotta know
So Mister can you tell me, gotta know
Baby can you tell me, gotta know
Whoa oh oh I gotta know
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I gotta know
Baby can you help me, gotta know
I gotta know

Did you ever feel like you were drowning, did
you ever feel betrayed by a kiss?
Did you ever feel like you needed somebody,
would you feel alone in a world like this?
Did you ever feel like you needed shelter, did
you ever laugh when you wanted to cry?
Did you ever dream about evolution, don't
you ever feel like your living a lie?

Oh, Whoa, too many children grow up blind to
the truth. I say
Oh Oh, Oh, Oh, say a prayer for me, I'll save
a prayer for you.

Did you ever feel like you were helpless, did
you ever feel like an open wound?
Did you ever feel that there ain't no
forgiveness, did you ever feel that close to
the truth.

Oh Whoa, the world closed their eyes on the
blinding truth.
I say, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh , say a prayer for me,
and I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer for you, I'll save a prayer for
you, I'll save a prayer.... for you, for you, for
you. I'll save a prayer.

Did you ever feel like you need shelter, did
you ever feel like you lived in a flood?
Did you ever feel a lust for survival, did you
ever feel, feel, feel?
The world couldn't take me from getting dirty.
There's too many hearts that haven't found a
home.
This train's on the tracks and the world's on
my back, save a prayer for me and I'll save
one for you

No one will ???? , but it's hard to explain,
why too many soul's are feeling so alone.
You've got to hold on if it's all you can do.
Save a prayer for me, I'll save a prayer for
you
I'll save a prayer for you, I'll save a prayer for
you, I'll Save a prayer.... for you, for you, for
you.

Call it social commentary
Call it just what me eyes see
Seems that there's more pretty women
Than there are fish in the sea
Woman in love

You see there's girls who like your money
Girls who like your car
Girls who like to sip champagne
And feed on caviar
Woman in love

Sen me some silk stockings
Smooth talking lipstick and curls
I want a woman
More than a girl
Need some lip-locking, cool walking
Diamonds and pearls
I'll wrap 'em all up
And give them the world

You know there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain't nothing
She can't rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
But there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love

If lust is just a dirty dog
I've been scratching with the fleas
I've been waking up your neighbours
Barking up your tree
I went down to the shopping mall
To get it off my mind
But it's like sleeping with the enemy
If you're not deaf and blind

I tried to run
But it was too late for me
I tried to hide
Since the day Adam met Eve
Till I turned on the television
And I looked up on the screen
I saw a hundred pretty girls
Sing this song on MTV

Sen me some silk stockings
Smooth talking lipstick and curls
I want a woman
More than a girl
Need some lip-locking, cool walking
Diamonds and pearls
I'll wrap 'em all up
And give them the world

You know there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain't nothing she can't rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
There ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
There ain't secret
To woman in love
You think that you can
Live without 'em
But you're asking too much
You see I've slept with romance
And danced with lust
But there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Oh, yeah

I've travelled all around the world
Across the seven seas
Got everything I wanted
There's just one thing I need
It hasn't changed forever
Fathers tell your sons
That there ain't nothing like
A thing called love

You know there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain't nothing she can't rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
There ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
There ain't secret
To woman in love
You think that you can
Live without 'em
But you're asking too much
You see I've slept with romance
And danced with lust
But there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Oh, yeah

This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
and there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
would all just call in sick
and the clouds would take the moon out
on some one-way trip

I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
but somehow they drove me back here once again
to the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burn downthis place that we called home
It would all have been so easy
if you'd only made me cry
and told me how you're leaving me
to some organ grinder's lullaby

It' hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go

Now the sky, it shines a differentkind of blue
and the Neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well - me, these days,
I just miss you - It's the night that I go insane
Unless you're coming back,
For me, that's one thing I know that won't change

It' hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go

Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart
and we'll find you somebody else new
But I've made my last trip to those carival lips,
when I bet all that I had on you

It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard
it's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart
But it's hard letting you go

Some 15 year old kid sits on his porch, just half-past noon
Trying to figure out just what he's doing
Why he had to grow up so soon
With all the gangs, all the guns - whatcha gonna learn in school
There's got to be some way out of here
He says Man, this life is cruel

I knew this Puerto Rican girl who lied to change her life
She changed her name, her face because the grass looked greener
on the other side
She turned her back, she ran away straight into the night
Her friends, her family feel the pain, but she's the one who cries

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

My next door neighbor Donnie, died in his room just the other day
His brother came home, found him dead on the floor with a needle in
his vein
Cops came down with a body bag, they said Dannie was a casulaty
I said, All it's about is the boy checked out, he couldn't handle
reality

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

We met some time ago, when we were almost young
It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from ?
I didn't have much money, so I stole you a rose
You were dressed like an orphan, in Salvation Army clothes

I never thought I'd lose you, no, I'd rather go blind
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied

Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine

I know I wasn't funny, but you laughed at all of my jokes
When I was choking on the words to say,
You showed me your finger down my throat
The first night I said I loved you, you told me to go to hell
You were giving me head, on that creeky,
Old bed at the Ol'Duvol Motel

Just like everything, even good love has to die
Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye

Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine

Just like everything, even good love has to die
Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye, no one even cried
We were one of a kind
One of a kind

Love left me stranded at the station
And the last train's gone by
What was once holy water
Tastes like bitter wine

Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
You take the bag of holy water
Now all that's left is bitter wine

Some 15 year old kid sits on his porch, just half-past noon
Trying to figure out just what he's doing
Why he had to grow up so soon
With all the gangs, all the guns-watcha gonna learn in school
There's got to be some way out of here
He says "Man, this life is cruel"

I knew this Puerto Rican girl who lied to change her life
She changed her name
Her face because the grass looked greener on the other side
She turned her back, she ran away straight into the night
Her friends, her family feel the pain, but she's the one who cries

My next door neighbor Donnie
Died in his room just the other day
His brother come home
Found him dead on the floor with a needle in his vain
Cops come down with a body bag
They said Donnie was a casually
I said, all it's about is the boy checked out
He couldn't handle reality

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, all I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

I'm lying here beside
you in someone else's bed
Knowing what were doing's wrong
But better left unsaid
Your breathing sounds
like screaming
It's all that I can stand
His ring is on your finger
But my heart is in your hands
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on
but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God I wish it wasn't me
standin' in these shoes
Damne damned
A door slams liek a shotgun
you jump up to your feet
But it's just the wind blowing
through the secrets that we keep
Made me want to want you
God knows I need to need you
By the time the love is over
I'll be sleeping on the streets
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on
but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God I wish it wasn't me
standin' in these shoes
Why don't you talk to me
Because I'm too blind to see
Why don't you look at me
Because I'm afraid to breath
What do you want from me
All that I can stand
The lies are on my tongue and
I can't turn back I know
My soul is damned

Don't worry
I ain't gonna call you or hear
you say my name
And if you see me on the street
don't wave just walk away
Our lives are getting twisted
let's keep our stories straight
The more that I resist it
my temptation turns to fate
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on
but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God I wish it wasn't me
standin' in these shoes
Damned

Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on
but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God I wish it wasn't me
standin' in these shoes
Damned
Damned

Diamond ring, wear it on your hand
It's gonna tell the world, I'm your only man
Diamond ring, diamond ring
Baby, you're my everything, diamond ring

Red, red rose brought it home to you
Blood red rose, tells me that you're true
Red, red rose, blood-red rose
Like a fire inside that grows, blood-red rose

When you're hungry, I will fill you up
When you're thirsty, drink out of my loving cup
When you're crying, I'll be the tears for you
There is nothing that I wouldn't do for you

When you're hungry, I will fill you up
When you're thirsty, drink out of my loving cup
When you're crying, I'll be the tears for you
There is nothing that I wouldn't do for you

You know, I bleed every night you sleep
'Cause I don't know if I'm in your dreams
I want to be your everything...

Diamond ring, wear it on your hand
It's gonna tell the world, I'm your only man
Diamond ring, diamond ring
Baby, you're my everything, diamond ring
Darling, you're my everything, diamond ring
Now, you've got me on your string.....Diamond ring

It's a cold cold cold cold
cold night tonight
And I can't get you off my mind
God knows I've tried
Did I throw away the best part
of my life
When I cut you off
did I cut myself
with the same damn knife
Hide my tears in the pouring rain
had my share of hurt and pain
Don't say my name
run away
cause it's all in vain
My hearts breaking even
now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried Yeah I live
Hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
let's just fold the cards
and say good bye
It's all right
just two hearts breaking even
tonight

It's been a long long long long
long time since I've had your love
here in my hands
We didn't understand it
we couldn't understand it
But nothing's fair in love and hate
You lay it all down and walk away
before it's too late
We danced all night
as the music played
The sheets got tangled in the
mess we made
There in the stains
we remain
No one left to blame
My hearts breaking even
now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried Yeah I live
Hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
let's just fold the cards
and say good bye
It's all right
just two hearts breaking even
tonight

Go on get on with your life
Yeah I'll get on with mine
Broken hearts can't call the cops
yeah it's the perfect crime
Twisting and turning the night
keeps me yearning
I'm burning alive
I'm paying the price again
But I'll see the light again
My hearts breaking even
now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried
Yeah I live
Hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
let's just fold the cards
and say good bye
It's all right
just two hearts breaking even
tonight

Hey God I'm just a little man
got a wife and family
But I almost lost the house
I bought into the dream
We're barely holdin' on
when I'm in way to deep
We're two paychecks away
from living out on the streets

She's a workin' single mom
like a Saint she doesn't complain
She never says a word
but she thinks that
she's to blame
Her son just got convicted
he blew some punk away
She did her best to raise him
but the world got in the way
Hey God Tell me what the
hell is going on
Seems like all the
good shits gone
It keeps on getting
harder hanging on
Hey God there's nights
you know I want to scream
These days you've even
harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
but Hey God
Do you ever think about me

Born into the ghetto in 1991
just a happy child
Playing beneath the summer sun
A vacant lots' his playground
by 12 he's got a gun
The odds are bet against him
junior don't make 21
Hey God Tell me what the
hell is going on
Seems like all the
good shits gone
It keeps on getting
harder hangin' on
Hey God
there's nights you know
I want to scream
These days you've even
harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
but Hey God
Do you ever think about me

I'd get down on my knees
I'm going to try
this thing you way
Seen a dying man too proud
to beg spit on his own grave
Was he too gone to save
Did you even know his name
Are you the one to blame
I got something to say
Hey God Tell me what
the hell is going on
Seems like all the
good shits gone
It keeps on getting
harder hangin' on
But Hey God
there's nights you know
I want to scream
These days you've even
harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
but Hey God
Do you ever think about me
Do you ever think about me
Hey God Hey God
think about me
Do you ever think about me
Hey God Hey God
think about me

I played the part of a broken heart upon a shelf
I played that part so lonely and so well
Thought that love belonged to someone else not me and you
Yeah, I know that you've been shattered , you been bruised
We both know what it feels like when you lose
But I'd bet my life on the roll of the dice for you

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
Tonite 's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
If that's what it takes...

I bet you counted all the tears I bet you've cried
I bet you swore you'd never let love back inside
'Cause it hurt you way too bad to say good-bye
Now, there'll be times when I might put us to the test
And it's hard for broken hearts to just forget
But I'm driving blind, I'll lay it all on the line for you

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
Tonite 's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
If that's what it takes...

So, when you feel like jumping,
Just when your heart starts pumpking
When you're standing out on that ledge-staring over the edge
I'll be there to talk you down, I'll be there before you hit
the ground

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
Tonite 's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
If that's what it takes...

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
If we take the time to do it right, I know we'll pull through
If it took all my life, I'd prove it to you
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do
If that's what it takes...

Rumour has it that
your daddy's coming down
He's gonna pay the rent
Tell me baby is this
as good as life is gonna get
It feels like there's a stronger
standing in these shoes
But I know I can't lose me
'cause then I'd be losing you

I know I promised baby
I would be the one to make our
dreams come true
I ain't too proud of
all the struggles
And the hard times
we've been through
When this cold world
comes between us
Please tell me you'll be brave
'Cause I can realize the danger
when forgiveness fades away
If you don't love me lie to me
'Cause baby you're
the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us
if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you don't love me
baby lie to me

Pour another cup of coffee
Babe I got something
to say to you
I ain't got the winning ticket
Not the one that's gonna
pull us through
No one said that it'd be easy
Let your old man
take you home
But know that if you walk out
on me that darling
I'd be gone
If you don't love me lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one
thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us
if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you can't
love me baby lie to me

Baby I can take it

It's a bitch but life's
a roller coaster ride
The ups and downs will
make you scream sometimes
It's hard believing
that the thrill is gone
But we got to go around again
so let's hold on
If you don't love me lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one
thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us
If that's what's meant to be
Right now if you can't
love me baby lie to me
C'mon lie to me
Baby I can take it
C'mon lie to me

C'mon lie to me
C'mon lie to me
lie to me

C'mon lie to me

I've been trying to find the meaning, so I can write it down
Staring out the window, it's such a long way down
I'd like to jump, but I'm afraid to hit the ground

I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say
Life is feeling kind of strange, since you went away
I sing this song to wherever you are,
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

I'm tired of watching TV, it makes me want to scream
Outside the world is burning, man it's so hard to believe
Each day you know you're dying from the cradle to the grave
I get so numb sometimes, that I can't feel the pain

I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say
Life is feeling kind of strange, since you went away
I sing this song to wherever you are,
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

Staring at the paper, I don't know what to write
I'll have my last cigarette-well, turn out the lights
Maybe tomorrow I'll feel a different way
But here is my delusion, I don't know what to say

I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say
And I can't fight the feelings, that are burning in my veins
I send this song to wherever you are,
As my guitar lies bleeding

I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, There's no one left to save
And I can't fight the feelings, buried in my brains
I send this song to wherever you are,
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

Happiness it's been
no friend to me
But forever after ain't
what it's all cracked up to be
Yeah I had a taste
you were my fantasy
But I lost my faith
when I hit reality
I don't need no Guru to
tell me what to do
When your feeling like
a headline on
Yesterday's news
Come on come on come on
Give me something
for the pain
Give me something
for the blues
Give me something
for the pain when
I feel I've been danglin'
from a hang man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right
Something like you
Loneliness has
yes found a home in me
My suitcase and guitar
are my only family
I've tried to need someone
like they needed me
I opened up my heart
but all I did was bleed
I don't need no lover
just to get screwed
They don't make a bandage
that's going to cover my bruise
Come on come on
come on
Give me something
for the pain
Give me something
for the blues
Give me something
for the pain when
I feel I've been danglin'
from a hang man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right
Something like you

Pull me under
Run through my veins
To a place
Where I feel no pain
Be the pillow under my head
Cover me when I'm in your bed
Take me higher than
I've ever been
Take me down and back again
Come to me be my disguise
Open your coat
let me crawl inside
Come on come on come on
Come on come on
come on
Give me something
for the pain
Give me something
for the blues
Give me something
for the pain when
I feel I've been danglin'
from a hang man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right
Something like you
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something
for the pain when
I feel I've been danglin'
from a hang man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right
Something like you
Come on come on Come on come on
Come on come on Come on come on
Come on come on
Give me Give me something
for the pain
Give me Give me something
for the blues
Give me
Give me something
for the pain baby
Give me

I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too
I told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new
I lost all trust in my friends, I watched my heart turn to
stone
I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone

Tonight I'll dust myself off
Tonight I'll suck my gut in
I'll face the night and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in

And I had lost touch with reason
I watched life criticize the truth
Been aiting for a miracle
I know you have too

Though I know I won't win
I'll take this one on the chin
We'll raise a toast and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in

If I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe the Pope
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe the dope
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
In a world that gives you nothing, we need something to
believe in.

If I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe the Pope
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe the dope
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
In a world that gives you nothing, we need something to
believe in.

I was walking around
just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself
out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear
a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might
end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody got their
cross to bare these days
She came looking for some
shelter with a suitcase
full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
Guess she's trying to be
James Dean
She's seen all the disciples
and all the wanna be's
No one wants to be themselves
these days
Still there's nothing to hold
on to but these days
These days the
stars seem out of reach
These days there ain't a
ladder on these streets
These days are fast love
don't last in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left
but us these days
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs
trying to learn to fly
From a second story window
he just jumped and
closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy
he said momma I've got to try
Don't you know that all my
heroes died
And I guess I'd rather die
than fade away
These days the
stars seem out of reach
But these days there ain't
a ladder on these streets
These days are fast love don't
lasts in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught
the morning train
And there ain't
nobody left but us these days

I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have changed
This world keepd turning round
and round and round and round
These days

These days the
stars seem out of reach
But these days there ain't
a ladder on these streets
These days are fast
love don't lasts in
this graceless age
Even innocence has caught
the morning train
These days the
stars seem out of reach
These days there ain't
a ladder on these streets
These days are fast
nothing lasts
There ain't no time to waste
There ain't nobody left
to take the blame
There ain't nobody left
but us these days

There ain't nobody left
but us these days

should've seen it coming
when the roses died
should've seen the
end of summer in your eyes
should've listened
you said good night
You really meant good bye
Baby ain't it funny
how you never ever
learn to fall
You're really on your knees
think you're standing tall
but only fools
are 'know it alls' and I
played that fool for you
I cried and I cried there
nights I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny
your love drove me crazy baby
if love that I
got for you is gone
if the river I
cried ain't that long
then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
this ain't a love song
baby I thought you and me
would stand the test of time
like we got away with the
perfect crime
but we were just a legend
in my mind
I guess that I was blind
remember these nights dancing
at the masquerade
the clowns were smiles
that wouldn't fade
you and I were the renegades
some things never change
it made me so mad 'cause I
wanted it bad for us baby
and now it's so
sad that whatever we
had ain't worth saving
if the love that I
got for you is gone
if the river I've
cried ain't that long
then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
this ain't a love song
if the pain that I'm
feeling so strong
is the reason I'm holding on
then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
this ain't a love song

I cried and I cried there
nights I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny
your love drove me crazy baby
if love that I
got for you is gone
if the river I
cried ain't that long
then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
this ain't a love song
if the pain that I'm
feeling so strong
is the reason I'm holding on
then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
this ain't a love song
then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
this ain't a love song
then I'm wrong
yeah I'm wrong
this ain't a love song

The silicon chip inside her head,
Got switched to overload
Nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's gonna make them stay at home,
And daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was good as gold,
And he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (3x)
I want to shoot the whole day down

The telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world,
Her mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turned to their own little girl
Well sweet 16 ain't she peachy keen,
And it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
There could be (no reasons)
Because there are ( no reasons)
What reasons do you need, oh,

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (3x)
I'm gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down
I'll shoot it all down

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain tackles with the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to die, die, oh

The silicon chip inside her head,
Gets switched to overload
Nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's gonna make them stay at home,
And daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was good as gold,
And he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (2x)
(Tell me why) I don't like, I don't like
(Tell me why)

Once upon a time Not so long ago
그리 오래되지 않은 옛날 한 때...
Tommy used to work on the docks
토미는 부두에서 일했었지
Union's been on strike
하지만 파업을 하고,
He's down on his luck
토미는 운이 없었지
it's tough, so tough
정말 힘든 세상이야
Gina works the diner all day
지나는 온종일 식당에서
Working for her man,
지배인 아래서 일을하지
she brings home her pay
그리고 번 돈을 집으로 가져와서
For love, for love
사랑을 베풀어 주지

She says
그녀는 말했어
"We've got to hold on to
"우리가 가진 것에
what we've got
충실해야 해요
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
우리의 성공과 실패에는
If we make it or not
큰 차이가 없지요
We've got each other
우린 서로가 있고
and that's a lot for love
사랑하기엔 충분하잖아요
we'll give it a shot"
그냥 노력하는 거죠 뭐"

We're half way there
기도하는 삶을 산다면
Livin' on a prayer
목적의 반은 이룬 거에요
Take my hand
내 손을 잡아요
and we'll make it, I swear
우린 꼭 해낼 수 있어요
Livin' on a prayer
믿음을 가지고 산다면...

Tommy got his six string in hock
토미는 이제 기타 줄마저
Now he's holding in what he used
저당 잡히고
To make it talk
예전에 하던 말을 애써 감추려 하고 있어
so tough, it's tough
세상은 정말 거친 곳이야
Gina dreams of running away
지나는 도망가려고 생각 중이야
When she cries in the night
한밤에 지나가 울면
Tommy whispers
토미가 속삭이지
"Baby it's okay, someday"
"괜찮아 질거야. 언젠가는..."

"We've got to hold on to
"우리가 가진 것에
what we've got
충실해야 해요
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
우리의 성공과 실패에는
If we make it or not

Take my hand
내 손을 잡아요

우린 꼭 해낼 수 있어요
Livin' on a prayer (Livin' on a prayer)
믿음을 가지고 산다면...

We've got to hold on
준비가 되어 있든, 그렇지 않든
ready or not
가진게 얼마 없다면
You live for the fight
끈질기게 견뎌 나가야 해요
when it's all that you've got
세상을 싸워 나가는 거에요

We're half way there
기도하는 삶을 산다면
Livin' on a prayer
목적의 반은 이룬 거에요
Take my hand
내 손을 잡아요
and we'll make it, I swear

Should've seen it coming
when the roses died
Should have seen the end of
summer in your eyes
I should have listened
when you said good night
You really meant goodbye
Baby ain't it funny how
you never ever learn to fall
You're really on your knees
when you think you're standing tall
But only fools are know it alls
and I've played that fool for you
I cried and cried
There were nights that
I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny
your love drove me crazy
If the love that I've got
for you is gone
If the river
I've cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
I thought you and me
would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the
perfect crime
But we were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind
Remember those nights
dancing at the masquerade
The clowns wore smiles
that wouldn't fade
You and I were the renegades
Somethings never change
It made me so mad cause
I wanted it bad for us baby
And now it's so sad that
whatever we had
Ain't worth saving
If the love that I've got
for you is gone
If the river
I've cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
If the pain
that I'm feeling's so strong
Is the reason
that I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song

I cried and I cried
There were nights that I
died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny
your love drove me baby baby
If the love that I've got
for you is gone
If the river
I've cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
If the pain
that I'm feeling's so strong
Is the reason
that I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song

Hey God, I'm just a little man got a wife and family
But I almost lost the house, yeah I bought into the dream
We're barely holding on when I'm in way too deep
We're two paychecks away from living out on the streets

She's a workin' single mom, like a saint she don't complain
She never says a word, but she thinks that she's to blame
Her son just got convicted, he blew some punk away
She did her best to raise him, but the world got in the way

Chorus:
Hey God - tell me what the hell is going on
Seems like all the good shit's gone
It keeps on getting harder hanging on
Hey God, there's nights you know I want to scream
These days you're even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be, but Hey God....
Do you ever think about me

Born into the ghetto in 1991, just a happy child
Playing beneath the summer sun
A vacant lot's his playground, by 12 he's got a gun
The odds are bet against him, junior don't make 21

Chorus

I'd get down on my knees, I'm going to try this thing your way
Seen a dying man too proud to beg spit on his own grave
Was he too gone to save?
Did you even know his name?
Are you the one to blame, I got something to say

So now it's over let the spot light fade
I hear the music slowly fade away
And now I find it hard to say good-bye
So I'll just say good night my friends

The end (we'll be together)
The end (we'll live forever)
We'll all be together in the end
The end (although it's over)
The end (It's never over )
We'll all be together in the end

If every moment is a memory
A faded photograph of days gone by
Can I take a little piece of you with me
For when I leave this all behind

The end (we'll be together)
The end (we'll live forever)
We'll all be together in the end
The end (although it's over)
The end (It's never over )
We'll all be together in the end

Come on, Come on, Come on, Darling lay you head down...
Come on, Come on, Come on, little Darling, help me baby,
'Cause I can't see the lights...

I'm getting tired so I close my eyes
I need to look at you just one more time
And though it's over, it's never over
Until I see you again

The end (we'll be together)
The end (we'll live forever)
We'll all be together in the end
The end (although it's over)
The end (It's never over)
We'll all be together in the end

The end (we'll be together)
The end (we'll live forever)
We'll all be together in the end
The end (although it's over)
The end (It's never over)
We'll all be together in the end

I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare, these days

She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
I guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the "wanna be's"
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days

These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left but us these days

Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy - he said, "Momma, I've got to try.
Don't you know that all my heroes died?
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away."

These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days

I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have changed
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round
These days

These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days

These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, nothing lasts
There ain't no time to waste
There ain't nobody left to take the blame
There ain't nobody left but us these days

Outside this world keeps turnin' 'round
London Bridge keeps burnin' down
but it'll be all right, oooh

No one hears our silent screams
In this land of broken dreams
but it'll be all right, when she comes

It'll be all right, when she comes
It'll all be tight, when she comes

And when I lie she still believes
She don't ask why, she's there for me
When it get's hard, she's all I need to get by

I hear her voice in a thousand places
I try so hard, still I can't escape it
She's the one, when she comes, yeah

And if the sky come fallin' down,
I never ever even hear a sound
It's true, she's as great a red
as blue skies are blue

Everything's all right, when she comes
Everything's all tight, when she comes

And when I lie she still believes
She don't ask why, she's there for me
When it gets hard, she's all I really need

Everything's all right, when she comes
It'll all be tight, when she comes
When she comes
It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
It's all right, It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
It's all right, It's all right, It's all right, when she comes

this ain't a song for the broken hearted
a silent prayer for the faith departed

i ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
you're gonna hear my voice when i shout it out loud

it's my life it's now or never
i ain't gonna live forever
i just wanna live while i'm alive
it's my life my heart is like an open highway
like franky said i did it my way
i just wanna live while i'm alive
it's my life

this is for one's who stood there ground
for tommy and gina who never back down
tomorrow's getting high with no mistakes
make your own breaks



it's my life it's now or never
i ain't gonna live forever
i just wanna live while i'm alive
it's my life my heart is like an open highway
like franky said i did it my way
i just wanna live while i'm alive
it's my life

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers 'Baby it's okay, someday'

We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

Chorus

We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

Chorus

Place my missing picture on my beer I'm running away from home
Sam, I'm just a man, a rusted bucket of flesh and bone
Someday I'll seek forgiveness for the sweet smell of her breath
She touched my hand and asked for a check, I put out my cigarette
Chorus:
Temptation
Temptation
Go home, Lord
I'm walking straight into the ocean
Tell the tide I'm on my way
I'm gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles' sword
When the angels hung out in Eden they saw Adam chasing Eve
They said grab your boots, your coat, your hat
My boy, it's time that you leave
She asked me if I'd like to play but she knew that I was broke
I cashed in the my chips a month ago
This smile's just mirrors and smoke
Chorus:
Temptation
Temptation
Go home, Lord
I'm walking straight into the ocean
Tell the tide I'm on my way
I'm gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles' sword
Twist my wrist
Tell me I should resist
But the flesh is weak
Here comes the kiss…
Twist my wrist
I can't go on like this
The flesh is weak
Here it comes… here it comes….
Chorus:
Temptation
Temptation
Go home, Lord
I'm walking straight into the ocean
Tell the tide I'm on my way
I'm gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles' sword

Dressed up for a big date
Like Halloween day but it was Fourth of July now
A car crash with a suitcase and a painted face
She was one of a kind
She wears a plastic crown like Cinderella
And roller skates in bed

Crash rides the greyhound from his hometown
When he comes around 'cause they don't let him drive now
Mixed up as a milkshake
But make no mistake
They're shooting for the stars

*You and me
We're invincible together
We can be so tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like ziggy but he couldn't play guitar
Captain Crash and the beauty queen from mars

Share a toothpick, trading lipstick
Watching traffic for days at the diner
Holding hands, making big plans
Playing Superman, he was wearing eyeliner
Another local legend and his longtime lucky charm

*You and me
We're invincible together
We can be so tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like ziggy but he couldn't play guitar
Captain Crash and the beauty queen from mars

They're drunk on love as you can get
Getting high on lust and cigarettes
Living life with no regrets
At least they're gonna try to fly

*You and me
We're invincible together
We can be so tragical, whatever
We're Sid and Nancy
Fred and Ginger
Clyde and Bonnie
Liz and Richard
Kurt and Courtney
Bacall and Bogie
Joltin' Joe and Ms. Monroe
Here's captain crash and the beauty queen from Mars
