I've been thinking about What you said last night And for all your fine words You still don't have it right
'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change You can scream at me But the powers that be Won't ever hear your voice 'Cause they're lost In their own importance No, they'll never hear your voice
'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change it
I've heard all your stories Of how the few can be strong And how you'll fight to the end Just to prove me wrong
'Cause that's the way that you are And you won't ever change it But don't come cryin' to me If your fanciful schemes Don't turn out like you planned 'Cause you're chasin' After something That keeps slippin' Through your hand
Time has come to say goodbye To the broken memories They're locked inside like prisoners In a place that no-one sees
Stayed up late with a friend of mine Southern Comfort till dawn We talked about the pains of love Should've known from The start you were wrong
I'm just a prisoner Don't wanna lock myself away Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely I'm a prisoner Just when do you think love will stay It walks right out on you - out on you
Tired blood runs through my veins But I can't get no sleep You lock my heart In these prison walls This place I've got to leave
I'm a prisoner Don't wanna lock myself away Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely I'm a prisoner Just when do you think love will stay It walks right out on you - out on you
The sky is grey, it's raining Like the storm in my heart There ain't no use explaining 'Cause I'm leaving, leaving
Won't somebody set me free Take me away from this misery I get so lonely I get so lonely, lonely, lonely Won't somebody set me free Please, please, set me free
I've been thinking about What you said last night And for all your fine words You still don't have it right
'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change You can scream at me But the powers that be Won't ever hear your voice 'Cause they're lost In their own importance No, they'll never hear your voice
'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change it
I've heard all your stories Of how the few can be strong And how you'll fight to the end Just to prove me wrong
'Cause that's the way that you are And you won't ever change it But don't come cryin' to me If your fanciful schemes Don't turn out like you planned 'Cause you're chasin' After something That keeps slippin' Through your hand
I've been waiting for my lady One hour - she finally came She came walking by my table And I'm thinking What's this fox's game To be honest, I was ready To play that white witch's game And I knew that she was ready To cut loose on the town and meet Somebody new for a change
When you're running All night with the lion Running all night with the lion ...
I may not recall exactly How I got her to sit down She was sitting at my table And I'm making out like a clown Oh, she'll make me very happy When she showed her fallen again And I knew that she was ready To cut loose on the town and meet Somebody new for a change
Rock'n'rollin' ladies Good life to the games you can't win We'll drink right at my table And we'll talk till it's time to go in This could be something heavy If only you'd show me a sign And something says you're ready To cut loose on the town and meet Somebody new for a change
Sonny's out strolling, ambling slowly Washed in amber street lights A Mexican wind blows in Takin' ahold of Angelina's hair And her halo Motors running, muffling the sound Of the street talk A big deal's goin' down
In another hot night In a cold town Got yourself a hot night In a cold town
Johnny's got spare change In his pocket A ring and a watch To hock for a sweet ride A one way ticket Hidden in his shoe These last few hours He says he'll spend with you He's leavin' home without a trace No forwarding address He'll never have to face another
Hot night In a cold town Got yourself a hot night In a cold town
Well, the losers and the groovers And the corner boys Are hangin' around Runnin' in and out of doorways Up and down the stairways Stray dogs headed for the pound
In another Hot night in a cold town Got you, got yourself a Hot night in a cold, cold town Cold town
Safe in the shadows Deep in the night I know you're near But you're nowhere in sight Safe from the darkness Down in the streets I hear your footsteps I hear your heartbeat Oh, I can hear your heartbeat
On the street corner Away from the light I know you're near But you're nowhere in sight Over my shoulder I feel you're near I feel you moving But you never appear
Chasing shadows Chasing something I can't see Chasing shadows Will I ever be free Chasing shadows Into the darkness from the light Chasing shadows I'm just a victim of the night The night
Cloaked in darkness You play at your game I hear you breathing Call out your name Closer, closer, I feel you so near You're just a shadow But you never appear
Chasing shadows Chasing something I can't see Chasing shadows Will I ever be free Chasing shadows Into the darkness from the light Chasing shadows Another victim of the night The night
Shadows in the night
Safe from the darkness Deep in the night I know you're here You're nowhere in sight Over my shoulder I know you are near I feel you moving Will you ever appear
I'm chasing something I can't see Will I ever be free Shadows in the night
I got a solid silver reason I got something you'll never buy I've spent my life playing rock'n'roll I wouldn't tell a lie Well if you want to taste the freedom Just let the music take a hold I'm possessed by rock'n'roll There's a thunder See it and wonder How to play the game It's easy
You know we're gonna live forever You know we're never gonna die You see it's written Across the sky tonight I'm gonna tell you why Because they've covered up the exits We got a spotlight just for you Im possessed by rock'n'roll Hear me callling, stars are falling Taking me away
Stand up - shout it out I'm possessed by rock 'n' roll Stand up - shout it out Sell your soul Stand up - shout it out Let the music take a hold Stand up - shout it out Rock 'n' roll
Can't you feel we're getting stronger Getting stronger every day There ain't nothing gonna stop us Oh, there ain't no way It's like a rolling ball of thunder You know it's never gonna stop You know it's gonna drag you under See me soaring Thunders roaring Things afraid again
I got a solid silver reason I got something you'll never buy I've spent my life with rock'n'roll Oh no, would I lie But if you want to taste the freedom Just let the music take a hold I'm possessed by rock'n'roll There's a thunder See it and wonder How to play the game It's easy
It's gonna drag you under Gonna take your heart and soul You gotta shout, shout, shout it out
Streets are full of rain Lightning cracks the sky Hear a lonely cry, eyes full of pain Searchin' in the darkness Eyes pierce the night Calling for her young one As she walks towards the light It's the night of the wolf Hear the cry of the wolf Streets paved with gold Night gives out a warning There's thunder in her heart And mother wolf is calling Searchin' in the shadows For the one she must save She cries out a prayer Like a song from beyond the grave It's the night of the wolf Hear the cry of the wolf The bells will toll No one will sleep tonight While she alone will Walk the streets tonight
Sun begins to rise All the streets washed with rain Still hear her cries Eyes burnt with pain Returning to the twilight Betrayed by the night Screaming for her young one As she walks towards the light It's the night of the wolf Hear the cry of the wolf It's the night of the wolf Hear the cry of the wolf It's the night of the wolf Hear the cry of the wolf

Stand up, sit down Don't turn around Don't talk and don't smoke Don't laugh, no joke Too many rules, too many fools Gonna raise it to the ground We're gonna get high Light up the sky Gonna burn it down Yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full Speak up or shut up Backs to the wall Stand in line, take it outside See the soldiers march in time Rollin' out of bed, fallin' on my head I think I'll pull the pin Skools Burnin Shape up, or ship out Your hair's too long Yes sir, no sir, the same old song Stay after time and Learn all your lines Or write 'em out a thousand times I heard what you said Bells in my head I think I'll pull the pin Skools Burnin There's gonna be a party tonight People gonna come from miles There's gonna be a fire here tonight Gonna dance with the devil Till the dawn Dance with the devil till the dawn Stand up, sit down Don't turn around Don't talk, don't smoke Don't laugh, no joke Too many rules, too many fools Gonna raise it to the ground Gonna get high, light up the sky Gonna pull the pin Skools Burnin
