Said she came from Memphis You can look but please don't touch Didn't like rock and rollers Seemed a bit much too much
* Cause it's the natural thing you feel at the start Natural blood starts to flow Yeah, the natural thing, you get at the start Then she'll never let you go Hey girl, now does it feel alright Think I'm gettin' through Don't you think the band's real tight Wait til we start to move
** May sound funny but you gave it to me I didn't even like it May sound funny but you gave it to me And now I got to live without it
I been down to Atlanta Got to move my feet Gettin' down for the last encore With every star she meets
Last train's eleven, it's now quarter past Why're you tryin' to make the evenin' move so fast I'm in real trouble but I can't go back home They locked the doors and I'm left out alone
* You can come to my place and sleep on the couch Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out Hard times out on the Street Hard times, hard to beat
** The painted lies they all hand you I'm a loser on the road I'm a loser on the road, yeah
Euston station and it's cold as ice AlI night specials, they move you on But me and Ginger over there We got this thing where we really take care
Fast as light our jets were burnin' On the road a distant siren song Hands upon my engines growin' Vincent's[+++] deep throat breathin' out so strong I can hold her, can you roll her Ride her like there's no tomorrow Siren's song sure is growin' stronger
Oh Belladonna, never knew the pain Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it'll drive me insane The open letter just carelessly placed And your moving silence, the tea so delicately laced
* Out of reach, out of touch How you've learned to hate so much Out of reach, out of touch How you've learned to hate so much
Came from passion, and you gave it a name The fingers of poison like needles in the drivin' rain So smile discreetly as you watch with such grace Now I must slip away, but can you forget my face
Run down, low down, don't feel tired Take no orders, don't get fired I waste away cruisin' along
Fighting blizzards, ragin' storms Hold the wheels tight, know I'm born to ramble on Cruisin' along But I stop, turn my head around Sleep until tomorrow, in my arms In my arms, Highway lady, lorelei, dream the big time high above Highway lady, high on wheels make you smile again
How she feels
Found my way to spanish stairs Small corruption, no one cares I taste a lie Cruisin' along
Fighting blizzards, ragin' storms Hold the wheels tight, know I'm born to ramble on Cruisin' along But I stop, turn my head around Sleep until tomorrow, in my arms In my arms, Highway lady, lorelei, dream the big time high above Highway lady, high on wheels make you smile again
Fighting blizzards, ragin' storms Hold the wheels tight, know I'm born to ramble on Cruisin' along But I stop, turn my head around Sleep until tomorrow, in my arms In my arms, Highway lady, lorelei, dream the big time high above Highway lady, high on wheels make you smile again
How she feels Highway lady, highway lady highway lady, highway lady
Something going on at the corner of the block It's the kids down there They were startin' to rock High black fever runnin' everyplace When the greek kid pulled a knife And pushed it in his face Some girl makes it with a lover in the door... As the ambulance pulls away, She cries out more
And it's all night long, all night long On with the action You need the fastest legs alive On with the action If you can't run you ain't survive On with the action
Mama's boy and teacher's pet... On with the action It's down our street, is it in yours yet
All the kids stand laughin' They never had such fun Then someone cuts a blind man who just can't make a run And the queen who's been standin' behind the toilet door His parents don't like boyfriends, call him a whore But the minister's starin' With his Bible in his hand Was this god's children, he didn't understand
And it's all night long, all night long On with the action You need the fastest legs alive On with the action If you can't run you ain't survive On with the action
And it's all night long, all night long On with the action You need the fastest legs alive On with the action If you can't run you ain't survive On with the action
Come from the land where The wheat is still wheat Where the waters in the rivers is still water In this land every man lends A hand when you need it But your hands are full of life So you can help yourself and feel it
It's been a long way from the red of my home From the valleys And the green plains never ending Everyone knows that the sun in his land is stronger And your hands are full of life If you can only wait just longer
So let it be a small haven big in your heart Don't let it turn into a nova Tryin' to climb and climb
Try and forget this place where I can still find time To sing in rhyme
Martian landscape, I'll learn to lie in your arms Where all the freedom is mine and it comes Martian landscape, I'll turn my face to your sun Where your horizon is mine and it comes
Come from the land where The wheat is still wheat Where the waters in the rivers is still water In this land every man lends A hand when you need it But your hands are full of life So you can help yourself and feel it
So let it be a small haven big in your heart Don't let it turn into a nova Tryin' to climb and climb
Martian landscape, I'll learn to lie in your arms Where all the freedom is mine and it comes Martian landscape, I'll turn my face to your sun Where your horizon is mine and it comes
I thought you'd listen to my reasoning But now I see, you don't hear a thing Tried to make you see how it's gotta be Well it's allright
All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, for me
Things could work out just like I want them to, yeah If I could have the other half of you Yes you know I would if I only could I said it's allright
All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, for me
I ain't telling no lies, so don't you sit there and cry, mama yeah
All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, for me, for me, for me, All or nothing, need it, all or nothing, all or nothing, I gotta, I gotta, keep on All or nothing, I need it so bad, all or nothing, I want it right now, All or nothing for me, for me, for me, c'mon All or nothing, gotta have it now, all or nothing, I need it so bad All or nothing, for me, for me, for me, All or nothing, gotta gotta, all or nothing, need it so bad, All or nothing, for me, for me, for me come on All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, I gotta I gotta for me All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, for meeeeeeeee
(all right, ooh uh, oof, mmm, jesus I wish I hadn't worn these tight trousers!)
