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 phonograph 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 phonograph 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 phonograph 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
It′s a hot night, the natives are restless We′re sweating by the light of the moon There′s a voodoo mojo brewing at the go-go That could knock a witch off her broom
We slither on in and shed our skin Make our way into the bump and the grind So I′m passing by, she gives me the eye So I stop to give her a light
[Chorus:] One wild night (blinded by the moonlight) One wild night (24 hours of midnight) One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone And she left my heart with vertigo) One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night
Havin′ as much fun as you can in your clothes Margarita had me feelin′ alright It just might be that I found religion I′ve been on my knees for half of the night Then I′m rolling the bones with Jimmy ′no dice′ Gonna take him for a couple weeks′ pay Man, if you lose this roll I take your girlfriend home So I stopped But you′re not gonna believe who comes walking out
[Chorus:] One wild night (blinded by the moonlight) One wild night (24 hours of midnight) One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone And she left my heart with vertigo) One wild night (hey, c′est la vie) One wild night (welcome to the party) One wild night (life is for the living so You gotta live it up, come on let′s go) One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus:] One wild night (blinded by the moonlight) One wild night (24 hours of midnight) One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone And she left my heart with vertigo) One wild night (hey, c′est la vie) One wild night (welcome to the party) One wild night (life if for the living so You gotta live it up, come on let′s go) One wild, one wild, one wild, one..
One wild night (blinded by the moonlight) One wild night (24 hours of midnight) One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone) For one wild night One wild night (hey,c′est la vie) One wild night (welcome to the party) One wild night (life is for the living) All we′ve got is one wild night
One wild night [4x] One wild night blinded by the moonlight One wild night 24 hours of midnight One wild night stepped into the twilight zone for One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night.
That was my brother lost in the rubble That was my sister lost in the crush That was our mothers, those were our children That was our fathers, that was each one of us A million prayers to God above A million tears make an ocean of
[Chorus:] One for love One for truth One for me, one for you
I found spirit, they couldn′t ruin it I found courage in the smoke and dust I found faith in the songs you silenced Deep down it′s ringing out in each of us Yeah... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus:] One for love One for truth One for me, one for you
Where we once were divided, now we stand united We stand as one... undivided. How many hands? How many hearts? How many dreams been torn apart? Enough, enough... the time has come to rise back as
[Chorus:] One for love One for truth One for me, one for you

I used to be the kind of guy Who′d never let you look inside I′d smile when I was crying I had nothing but a life to loose Thought I had a lot to proof In my life, there′s no denying
Goodbye to all my yesterdays Goodbye, so long, I′m on my way
I′ve had enough of cryin′ Bleedin′, sweatin′, dyin′ Hear me when I say Gonna live my life everyday I′m gonna touch the sky And I spread these wings and fly I ain′t here to play I′m gonna live my life everyday
Change, everybody′s feeling strange Never gonna be the same Makes you wonder how the world keeps turning Life, learning how to live my life Learning how to pick my fights Take my shots while I′m still burning
Goodbye to all those rainy nights Goodbye, so long, I′m moving on
I′ve had enough of cryin′ Bleedin′, sweatin′, dyin′ Hear me when I say Gonna live my life everyday I′m gonna touch the sky And I spread these wings and fly I ain′t here to play I′m gonna live my life everyday
Hit the gas, take the wheel I′ve just made myself a deal There ain′t nothing gonna get in my way Everyday
Goodbye, so long, I′m moving on
I′ve had enough of cryin′ Bleedin′, sweatin′, dyin′ Hear me when I say Gonna live my life everyday I′m gonna touch the sky And I spread these wings and fly I ain′t here to play I′m gonna live my life everyday
I, oh I, oh I, I′m gonna live my life everyday I (gonna touch the sky), oh I (spread these wings and fly), oh I I′m gonna live my life everyday
Hello again, it’s you and me Kinda always like it used to be Sippin′ wine, killing time Trying to solve life’s mysteries. How’s your life, it’s been a while God it’s good to see you smile I see you reaching for your keys Looking for a reason not to leave.
If you don’t know if you should stay If you don’t say what’s on your mind Baby just, breathe there’s no where else tonight we should be- You wanna make a memory.
I dug up this old photograph Look at all that hair we had It’s bittersweet to hear you laugh Your phone is ringing, I don’t wanna ask.
If you go now, I’ll understand If you stay, hey, I got a plan You wanna make a memory You wanna steal a piece of time You could sing a melody to me And I could write a couple lines You wanna make a memory.
If you don’t know if you should stay And you don’t say what’s on your mind Baby just, breathe there’s no where else tonight we should be- You wanna make a memory You wanna steal a piece of time You could sing a melody to me And I could write a couple lines You wanna make a memory You wanna make a memory
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 how 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
Its been a cold, cold, cold, cold night, tonight And I cant get you off of my mind God knows Ive 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 Dont say my name, run away, cause its all in vain
My hearts breaking even, now theres no use we even try Hey I cried, yeah I lied, hell I almost died Dont got a reason Lets just fold the cards and say good-bye Its all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight
Its been a long, long, long, long time Since Ive had your love here in my hands We didnt understand it, we couldnt understand it But, nothings fair in love and hate You lay it all down and walk away, before its 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 theres no use we even try Hey I cried, yeah I lied, hell I almost died Dont got a reason Lets just fold the cards and say good-bye Its all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight
Go on, get on with your life Yeah - Ill get on with mine Broken hearts cant call the cops Yeah - its a perfect crime Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning Im burning alive Im paying the price again But Ill see the light again
My hearts breaking even, now theres no use we even try Hey I cried, yeah I lied, hell I almost died Dont got a reason Lets just fold the cards and say good-bye Its all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight
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
Come see a living, breathing spectacle Only seen right here It′s your last chance in this lifetime The line forms at the rear You won′t believe your eyes Your eyes will not believe your ears Get your money out, get ready Step right up, yeah you, come here
You ain′t seen nothing like him He′s the last one of the breed You better hold on to your honey Honeys, don′t forget to breathe Enter at your own risk, mister It might change the way you think There′s no dancers, there′s no diamonds No this boy he don′t lip synch
[Chorus] Here′s the last man standing Step right up, he′s the real thing The last chance of a lifetime Come and see, hear, feel, the real thing
See those real live calloused fingers Wrapped around those guitar strings Kiss the lips we heard his linger It breaks the heart to hear him sing The songs were more than music They were pictures from the soul So keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk And your digital downloads
[Chorus]
Take your seats now, folks. It′s show time. Hey, Patrick hit the lights There′s something in the air There′s magic in the night Now here′s the band, they really play I′ll count the first one in I don′t know where it′s going We all know where it′s been
Take a look around, this is what I see Is there anybody else that feels like me? You sweat, you sweat You bleed, you bleed What you get aint what you see Up is down and black is white to me
[Chorus] I′m complicated I get frustrated Right or wrong, love or hate it I′m complicated Can′t sudate it I heard that song, but i won′t play it It′s alright It′s okay You wouldn′t want me any other way Momma, keep on praying, cause I aint changing I′m complicated
Complicated, Yeah
I′m smart enough to know what I don′t know I′m fool enough to stay when I should go You work, you work You cry, you cry You watch your whole life pass you by Sometimes you gotta close your eyes to see
[Chorus]
Is there anybody out there Just like everybody out there Just want somebody out there just like me
[Chorus]
Is there anybody out there Just like everybody out there Just want somebody out there just like me [x2]
How you spend your minutes are what matters All tomorrows come from yesterday′s When you′re feeling broke and bruised and sometimes shattered Blew out the candles on the cake like everything′s a big mistake It seems you always wait for life to happen And your last buck can′t buy a lucky break If all we′ve got is us then lifes worth living And if you′re in, you know I′m in I′m ready and I′m willing
[Chorus] I Am When you think that no-one needs you Sees you or believes you No ones there to understand I Am I′ll be there to be that someone When you think that no one, is there to hold your hand I Am
We′re just who we are, there′s no pretending It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending And if you′re in, you know I′m in I′m ready and I′m willing
[Chorus]
And I aint got no halo hanging over my head I aint gonna judge you, I′m just here to love you I Am I Am
Looking at the pages of my life Faded memories of me and you Mistakes you know I′ve made a few I took some shots and fell from time to time Baby, you were there to pull me through We′ve been around the block a time or two I′m gonna lay it on the line Ask me how we′ve come this far The answer′s written in my eyes
[Chorus:] Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more I don′t wanna sleep tonight, dreamin′s just a waste of time When I look at what my life′s been comin′ to I′m all about lovin′ you
I′ve lived, I′ve loved, I′ve lost, I′ve paid some dues, baby We′ve been to hell and back again Through it all you′re always my best friend For all the words I didn′t say and all the things I didn′t do Tonight I′m gonna find a way
[Chorus:] Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more I don′t wanna sleep tonight, dreamin′s just a waste of time When I look at what my life′s been comin′ to I′m all about lovin′ you
You can take this world away You′re everything I am Just read the lines upon my face I′m all about lovin′ you
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus:] Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more I don′t wanna sleep tonight, dreamin′s just a waste of time When I look at what my life′s been comin′ to I′m all about lovin′ you
Feels something like summertime Top down ain′t nothing but time Radio′s on and you′re by my side Feels something like summertime
These days life goes like this Wake up, check that off of some list Gotta be a little something more than this at the bottom of my coffee cup I keep a postcard in the back of my mind White sand, sunshine And you′re shining like a brand new dime That′s keeping me from giving up Thinking like I had enough
You make me feel something like summertime Top down ain′t nothing but time Radio′s on and you′re by my side Feels something like summertime Like that first slow dance and that first long kiss There ain′t nothing baby better then this It′s like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine It feels something like summertime Summertime
I was a warm breeze with a cool tan Life mapped out on the back of my hand When I was laughing I was making plans But I didn′t laugh when I found you If there′s a heaven baby you′re the proof
You make me feel something like summertime Top down ain′t nothing but time Radio′s on and you′re by my side Feels something like summertime Like that first slow dance and that first long kiss There ain′t nothing baby better then this It′s like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine It feels something like summertime Summertime
[Solo]
Feel something like summertime Top down ain′t nothing but time Radio′s on for me and my valentine Like that first slow dance and that first long kiss There ain′t nothing baby better then this It′s like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine (yeah) Feels something like summertime Top down ain′t nothing but time Radio′s on and you′re by my side, Feels something like summertime Just like summer time Summertime Something like summertime
This world don′t give you nothing it can′t take away Everybody holding on to something Nobody wants to fade away
No forgiveness on the streets of this town I left my patience at a traffic light There′s no denying that I almost lost it Threw in the towel, too tired to fight
Tonight I need you More than yesterday Tonight I need you
[Chorus:] Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it Make me come alive Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it Rescue me tonight Love me back to life
These days I′d trade sight for feeling There are days my feeling′s gone Can′t figure out whose life I′m living I don′t know right from wrong
When I lost my faith You found it and gave it back to me There′s a new light on your halo; it took blind eyes to see
That I need you More than yesterday Yeah, I need you
[Chorus:] Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it Make me come alive Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it Rescue me tonight Love me back to life
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus:] Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it Make me come alive Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it Rescue me
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it Make me come alive Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it Rescue me tonight Love me back to life Love me back to life Love me back to life Love me back to life
I never went to college I don′t have a degree Let′s say I went to night school I learned all I know on the streets I wasn′t born a rich man I ain′t got no pedigree The sweat on this old collar That′s my Ph.D.
It comes down to this I wouldn′t exist Without you it ain′t worth the grind I′d fight for one kiss On a night like this You make me feel I could fly, like
[Chorus:] I could save the world Since the night your love saved me Maybe I can′t save the world But as long as you believe Maybe I could save the world
I got to confess Sometimes I′m a mess And sometimes I step out of line Like this old tattoo I ain′t shiny or new With you by my side nothing matters
[Chorus:] I can save the world Since the night your love saved me Maybe I can′t save the world But as long as you believe Maybe I can save the world
[Guitar solo ]
They can say it′s blind love But it′s a fool who don′t believe That I′d fly all the way to the moon Just to walk you down your street
[Chorus:] I can save the world Since the night your love saved me Maybe I can′t save the world But as long as you believe Our love is even stronger Than god hoped it could be Baby, all it takes is Just a little faith in me To feel like I can save the world I can save the world
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 stranger 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 Lie to me Baby, I can take it C′mon lie to me
It′s hard for me to say the things I want to say sometimes There′s no one here but you and me And that broken old street light Lock the doors We′ll leave the world outside All I′ve got to give to you Are these five words tonight
[Chorus:] Thank you for loving me For being my eyes When I couldn′t see For parting my lips When I couldn′t breathe Thank you for loving me Thank you for loving me
I never knew I had a dream Until that dream was you When I look into your eyes The sky′s a different blue Cross my heart I wear no disguise If I tried, you′d make believe That you believed my lies
[Chorus:] Thank you for loving me For being my eyes When I couldn′t see For parting my lips When I couldn′t breathe Thank you for loving me
You pick me up when I fall down You ring the bell before they count me out If I was drowning you would part the sea And risk your own life to rescue me
[Solo]
Lock the doors We′ll leave the world outside All I′ve got to give to you Are these five words tonight
[Chorus:] Thank you for loving me For being my eyes When I couldn′t see You parted my lips When I couldn′t breathe Thank you for loving me
When I couldn′t fly Oh, you gave me wings You parted my lips When I couldn′t breathe Thank you for loving me
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 And I′m wanted dead or alive Wanted dead or alive
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it′s not for days People that I meet always go their separate ways Sometimes you tell the day By the bottle that you drink And times when you are alone all you do is think
[Chorus]
And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back I play for keeps, ′cause I might not make it back I′ve been everywhere, still I′m standing tall I′ve seen a million faces and 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]
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
[Chorus:] 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
[Chorus:] 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
[Chorus:] 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
An angels smile is what you sell You promise me heaven, then put me through hell Chains of love got a hold on me When passions a prison, you cant break free
Youre a loaded gun Theres nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done
Chorus: Shot through the heart And youre 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 boys dream, you act so shy Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Youre a loaded gun Theres nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done
Last night I had a dream The dream I had was true I fell through the stars Went walking on the moon Burned like a thousand candles in her arms
The skin under my finger tips Honeysuckle on her lips Sweeter than a man deserves to taste Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?
But Amen, Amen, Amen
Last night we were born together It was like we’d always been She’ll be with me forever If I don’t see her again We poured the wine until our cup ran over
Unfolding like the mystery Inside of her like poetry A thousand horses running through my veins Mercy, mercy what else can I say
Amen, Amen, Amen
I laid down in her garden Naked on her floor Windows up, the curtains blowing She don’t lock the door
Amen, Amen
At the banquet table A beggar at a feast I felt her tongue between her lips And I forgot to breath We stayed there ’til the candles burned the carpet
Last night I had a dream The dream I had was true Mercy, mercy, what else can I say Mercy, mercy, I laid down and prayed
Yesterdays a memory Another page in history You sell yourself on hopes and dreams That leaves you feeling sideways. Tripping over my own feet Trying to walk to my own beat Another car out on the street trying to find the Highway Yeah, Are you going my way?
[Chorus] This is the story of my life And I write it everyday I know it isn′t black and white And it′s anything but grey I know that no I′m not alright, but I feel ok cos Anything can, everything can happen That′s the story of my life
I gonna write the melody That′s gonna make history, And when I paint my masterpiece I swear I′ll show you first There just ain′t a way to see who and why or what will be Till now is then It′s a mystery, it′s a blessing and a curse Or something worse
[Chorus]
This is the story of my life And I write it everyday, And I hope you′re by my side when I′m writing the last page
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
Strange ways coming today I put a dollar in my pocket And I threw it away Been a long time Since a federal dime Made a jukebox sound Like a mirror in my mind Control my worries Fix my thoughts Throw my hopes Like a juggernaut walks Now let-down souls Can′t feel no rhythm Sorry entertainers Like aerobics victims Hybrid people Light a wooded matchstick Toxic fumes and the Burning plastic Beats are broken Bones are spastic Boombox talkin′ With a southern accent Voodoo curses Bible tongues Voices comin′ From the mangled lungs Give me some grits Some get-down shit Don′t need a good reason To let anything rip
Radio′s cold Solar′s infected One by one I′ll knock you out God is alone Hardware defective One by one I′ll knock you out
Mr. Microphone making All the damage felt Like a laser manifesto Make a mannequin melt There′s people phonin′ in Like it′s unlimited minutes Going through the motions Just to savor they did it Treadmill′s running Underneath their feet So they feel like they′re going somewhere But they′re not So let′s put boots On the warehouse floor Comin′ to you Like a rope on a chainstore Throwing equipment From a moving van Grab a microphone Like a utility man Now fix the beat Now break the rest Make a kick drum sound Like an S.O.S. Get a tow-truck Cause it′s after dark And the dance floor′s full But everybody′s double-parked!
Cell phone′s dead Lost in the desert One by one I′ll knock you out Eye of the sun Is out of its socket One by one I′ll knock you out One by one
He′s a mighty good leader He′s a mighty good leader He′s a mighty good leader All the way All the way, lord From up to heaven He′s a mighty good leader All the way

He′s a mighty good leader He′s a mighty good leader He′s a mighty good leader All the way All the way, lord From up to heaven He′s a mighty good leader
From these shores where we belong I have seen the the land beyond Where the Lord is strange and strong I have seen the the land beyond There′s no telling who′ll be dead When the pale horse is turning red And the tongues will burn in vain And everything will feel the same There′s no patience there′s no peace I have seen the land beyond Where the gravestones never cease I have seen the the land beyond Through the troubles of years The heavenly apparition appears And we′re haunted by our own minds And the spirit comes in the disguise [Background voice:](With no eyes) From these shores where we belong I have seen the the land beyond I′ll be there and I′ll be gone
Touch me I′m cold, unable to control Touch me I′m golden and wild as the wind blows And tumbling tumbling, don′t go fascination
If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost
Let me come closer, I′m not your shadow With our eyes shielding from the oncoming counts It′s not hard for us to say what we should not
If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost
Touch me I′m cold, unable to control Touch me I′m golden and wild as the wind blows And tumbling tumbling, don′t go fascination
If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost Let′s get lost Let′s get lost Let′s get lost Let′s get lost
Treated you like a rusty blade A throwaway from an open grave Cut you loose from a chain gang And let you go And on the day you said it′s true Some love holds, some gets used Tried to tell you I never knew It could be so sweet Who could ever be so cruel, Blame the devil for the things you do It’s such a selfish way to lose The way you lose these wasted blues These wasted blues Tell me that it′s nobody′s fault Nobody′s fault But my own That it′s nobody′s fault Nobody′s fault But my own When the moon is a counterfeit Better find the one that fits Better find the one that lights The way for you When the road is full of nails, Garbage pails and darkened jails And their tongues Are full of heartless tales That drain on you Who would ever notice you You fade into a shaded room It′s such a selfish way to lose The way you lose these wasted blues These wasted blues Tell me that it′s nobody′s fault
Nobody′s fault But my own Tell me that it′s nobody′s fault Nobody′s fault But my own tell me that it′s nobody′s fault Nobody′s fault But my own tell me that it′s nobody′s fault Nobody′s fault But my own Tell me that it′s nobody′s fault Nobody′s fault But my own Tell me that it′s nobody′s fault Nobody′s fault
You came, you went My mind it got a dent I couldn′t make my rent Cos all my cash was lent
This town is filled With thousand-dollar-bills Laminated songs Contaminated lawns Well we eat about fifteen times a day Starin′ through a bag of Frito Lay And I play with the fire in the stove When my eyes peel out and my fingertips get cold
Well it′s real and it′s fake And it′s flamin′ like a steak And she′s puttin′ out my face with the rake Oh honey you knew That you were my one and only blur
Unglued, depressed The meatloaf in my chest Personality test I failed with the best And I stomped and I stormed And I passed out in your dorm Then you hustled me outside I couldn′t catch a ride But the subway trains speak to me now I′m browsing through the supermarket town And the girls don′t talk when I′m around And I′m feelin′ bad even though nothing′s wrong
Amanda, light of the man′s life Make sure the faith in the light and make heard The greatest woman The greatest woman To be the man′s greatest wife
I thought it all over, lord knows I′ve tried It′s a awful great struggle in any man′s life To look in the mirror in total surprise At the great hair on her shoulders And the great big big beautiful beautiful eyes
Today′s uhh August 4th, 1982 ...

Cold brains, Unmoved, Untouched, Unglued Alone at last No thoughts, No mind To rot Behind A trail of disasters A final curse Abandoned hearse We ride disowned Corroded to the bone The fields of green Are bent, obscene I lay upon the gravel A worm of hope A hangman′s rope Pulls me one way or the other A final curse Abandoned hearse We write this song Corroded to the bone A bird of song Is heard no longer In the evacuated heavens The drain is drawn And drained and gone And on and on, it doesn′t matter A final curse Abandoned hearse We ride this old Corroded to the bone
Reactions of night The heavens are foreboding A chain link wind Is breaking me open Lessons of the day On a blackboard night Seem to be erased And the beacon has no light
Searchlights on the skyline Just looking for a friend Who′s gonna love my baby When she′s gone around the bend Egyptian bells are ringing When it′s her birthday Sweet nothing′, I′m talking about you There′s a hurricane blowing your way Ooh such a beautiful way To break your heart Ooh such a beautiful way To break your heart There′s someone calling your name It′s driving you insane You were wearing that stained raincoat And your umbrella was a tangled mess You were washed up on the glittering shoals Looking for another crime to confess You bribed yourself Out of a place in the sun But you had some change to spare So you said you wanna spend it on me And shook the blues out of your hair Ooh such a beautiful way To break your heart Ooh such a beautiful way To break my heart There′s someone calling your name
Forcefield There′s a force field Go outside with the suitcase ′round my neck And it stands just where Walk around all the while I′ve sat And the stance I took on Look at the people driving′ that backwards Leaves a Forcefield ′round with no particular style My neck Don′t let it get near you Don′t let it get to close And the stance I took on Don′t let it turn you into that Leaves a Forcefield ′round Things you hate the most My neck Roll out your silver dollar coffins Roll out your buckskin gloves Tell them anything they want to And sound comes from above Don′t let it get near you Don′t let it get to close And the stance I took on Don′t let it turn you into that Leaves a Forcefield ′round Things you hate the most My neck Don′t let it get near you Don′t let it get to close Don′t let it turn you into Things you hate the most There′s a Forcefield ′round my neck And it stands just where I′ve sat And the stance I took on that Leaves a Forcefield ′round my neck There′s a Forcefield ′round my neck And it stands just where I′ve sat And the stance I took on that
Spaceships can′t tame the jungle And I feel like I′m giving in We′ve been driving through a desert Looking for a life to call our own
I push, I pull The days go slow Into a void We filled with death A noise that laughs Falls off their maps All cured of pain And doubts in your Little brain
Something′s coming, sky is purple Dogs are hounding to themselves Days are changing with the weather Like a riptide come rip us away
I push, I pull The days go slow Into a void We filled with death A noise that laughs Falls off their maps All cured of pain And doubts in your Little brain
I push, I pull The days go slow Into a void We filled with death A noise that laughs Falls off thier maps All cured of pain And doubts in your
Drinkin in bed, they′ll get you instead Gives him a point went forever
Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy! You′re the man How can I grasp you power? I′m sittin′ here lookin′ at this keychain And you... uh There′s mascara bleeding out of your eyes The microphone is in flames There′s a giant chicken claw above your head
Definitely this is the wrong place to be There′s blood on the futon There′s a kid drinking′ fire Going′ down to the sea They′ve got people to meet Shaking hands with themselves Looking′ out for themselves When they ask you credit You give them a branch When they want to get it You chew on the grass I know, I know ′Cause they told me to tell you There′s nothing to tell you There′s nothing to sell you In the afternoon Riding the scapegoat Burning equipment Decomposing Cool of your jets Take off your sweats I got a funny feeling They′ve got plastic in the afterlife When they want you to cry Leap up into the sky When they suck your mind Like a pigeon you′ll fly I know, I know It′s the positive people Running from their time
I′m on the run with things to be I′ve got a garden hose and a color TV I′ve got time on my hands I′ve got time on my hands Nobody cares what I do
I′m on the run with things to do I′ve got a burnt orange peel And a potato stew I′ve got work to get done I′ve got work to get done Nobody knows where to run
I′ve got a quart of milk And some sound advice I′ve got trees that are fake But they smell so nice
Don′t give me the flu Nobody knows I′m with you
Back and forth I dodge a fly Like a feather in the sky Write me out a check Give me all your cash
Disappointment condition A perfunctory prescription Of an indigent mindset A beligerant silence We got all we need Turning out of a tin can Thinking about the ?? Of the social hurt Listen to the noise On the battery tape deck A Judas trainwreck Anonymous suspect Hovering in carbon monoxide cremations Loners ?? Of vacant locations Think tanks empty International dream bank Plug in my reactor To the fallout zone The enemies′ story is a lot like mine And if you get to the point Then you had better deny
Dark star ?? Eyes are closing ?? From a sky lit terrain
Autopilot drivers Riding out on the ice age Infidels swallowed In a vanishing point Ammunition souls shooting Holes in the ozone Widows tears Washing a soldier′s bones Sterilized egos Delirium seagulls Punctured by the arrows Of American eagles Robot teachers ?? Backspace my brain My equilibrium gone
Dark star Just an eye that is closing ??? From a sky lit terrain
