Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for * Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave White lightening, bound to drive you wild Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl "Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for *Repeat Every word of every song that he sang was for you In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could you do? *Repeat *Repeat If you please, if you please, if you please |

Can you hear me cry across the great divide
Do you hear me calling or are my tears just falling In an ocean of regret, words left unsaid I wish I could hold you, I wish that I could have that chance again But when I close my eyes I can see you there reaching out your hand to me And I follow you through every dream How I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you Somehow over mountains Somehow over seas Love will break the silence And bring you back to me Love will bring you back to me Somehow - break the silence Give me wings to fly across the great divide I'm trying to see tomorrow, I wish that I could borrow Just a glimpse of what will be, just to hear you speak These nights are getting longer, my love for you is growing stronger As long as there is hope I will send a prayer as far as the winds will blow And I hope somehow you will know How I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you Somehow over mountains Somehow over seas Love will break the silence And bring you back to me Somehow there's an answer Somehow I believe Love will break, love will break the silence [4x] And when I close my eyes I can see you reaching out your hand to me And I hope somehow you will see How I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you Somehow over mountains Somehow over seas Love will break the silence And bring you back to me Somehow there's an answer Somehow I believe Love will break the silence Love will bring you back to me |

It seems we're headed for a total breakdown
It keeps on getting harder to connect If this is not a war between the sexes Well then some kind of hex is in effect The ones we used to call the happy couple Have given up on romance altogether How that perfect one could come undone Looks like love's in for a run of nasty weather Lines are down, streets are redded Pipes cracked, apartments gutted The tough are gettin' goin', 'cause the goin's gettin' tough Everybody's breakin' up Verse: It seems we've come upon some kind of impasse An ending to this fractured fairy tale What once upon a time were little home sweet homes Are now just houses up for sale Streets ahush, a grim reminder No lovers laughter, no organ grinder He's out of work, the monkey run off with the cup Seems like everybody's breakin' up Seven year itch, or mid-life crisis We're comin' unhitched, goin' back to old vices The tough are gettin' goin' cause the goin's gettin' tough Everybody's breakin' up |

Hard to get
Impossible to hold Straight and narrow Like a burning fuse In a long cold dawn By the side of the road A hopeless case A perfect thing Love is ( love is ) What you want it to be Love is ( love is ) Heaven to the lonely Show me What you want me to do Cause love is What I got for you I close my eyes Search the stars Call for help Wake up cold You're in my system Under my skin Raw emotion Please don't go Love is ( love is ) What you want it to be Love is ( love is ) Heaven to the lonely Show me What you want me to do Cause love is What I got for you Can't live on promises Won't sleep at night Don't understand the things you say Till I read them in your eyes Got to run on instinct Got to go by feel Got to trust my senses Know it is for real Can't live on promises Won't sleep at night Don't understand the things you say Till I read them in your eyes Got to run on instinct Got to go by feel Got to trust my senses Love is ( love is ) What you want it to be Love is ( love is ) Heaven to the lonely Show me What you want me to do Cause love is What I got for you Love is ( love is ) Love is ( love is ) Show me |

Song Instead of a kiss Baby this is a Song Instead of a kiss For all of you who ache, who long For nights like this Song Instead of a touch Darlin' this is a Song Instead of a touch To all of you who wait so long And need so much It is for those who like to cling It is to those, to those I sing Here is a song instead of a clutch Instead of a moon Instead of a soothing touch In the afternoon It is for those who like to cling It is to those, to those I sing Here is a song instead of a clutch Instead of a moon Instead of a soothing touch In the afternoon |

Sonny say you will, take me strolling with you out on the boardwalk
'Cause you know you always make me feel Like we are lovers on parade with your sweet talk You look so cool but I know that you care The way you run your fingers through my hair You make me feel like I'm a star on your sleeve The way you hold me it's so wild and sweet And Sonny say we will, go walking down by the ocean 'Cause the night can get so still, and lovers they can get the notion The street is crazy with the summer heat Lost souls collide and try to land on their feet You make me feel like I'm no ordinary girl Why don't we walk out of this every day world And Sonny say we will, spend the night all alone together This is some kinda wonderful, Sonny let it last forever Oh Sonny say you will, Sonny let it last forever and ever and ever Sonny say you will, I know you will I know you will |

Little tramp comin' up the strip with a hundred dollar smile
Sparks flyin' off her fingertips, drive the young cop wild Some nights are wound so tight like a storm about to break Better stand in your doorway when everything starts to shake You get restless like a cat waking up at midnight, Hungry, never quite satisfied Chorus: This is our world and these are our times This is our world and these are our times Little brother like a street god with a drop dead attitude Say he's looking like a shadow now, runnin' low on green and food Some lives are wound up tight like a wave about to crash Hard times seem to multiply while the joy runs out so fast You get restless like a kid crawling out of a bad dream Hungry, never quite satisfied chorus repeats 2x (Solo) Make way for the son of a rebel wired to a bottle of flame He's got two black eyes and a purple heart and a bone hangin' on a chain These times are like dynamite, a head-on with history Some fool's bound to burn it all down, don't care about you and me He'll get desperate like a child in the eye of a nightmare Hungry, never quite satisfied chorus repeats 2x... |

A fever that makes you
Wanna shed your skin A walking testament to original sin Gotta good trick up your sleeve Crocodile daydream, you wanna You wanna believe Strike a truce and stand at ease Or you can choose to slam me to my knees Cheap resistance, in my way I wanna become your Independence Day Give me something for the shape I'm in Southern comfort oh, Again and again and again and again Missionary if you please I fell from grace and landed on my knees (chorus) Welcome to the great divide Fallen angel stuck inside All temptation justified I'm a prisoner baby, with no reprieve The kind of chaos you can Count on not to leave Strike a truce and stand at ease You can even slam me to my knees (repeat chorus) And if the money don't get ya Something will And if the sex don't get ya, nothing will Bank of Karma won't loan Your yin won't yang The bed don't bang And the springs don't sprang Again and again and ahhhhhhhh... (repeat chorus) Welcome to the great divide, great divide Welcome to the great divide, great divide The great divide, great divide |

Sweet breeze, blowin' through a summer dress
Seen from a window above Captured in the eyes of love Shivers, in the cool forbidden dawn Where the Iris and Jasmin run wild She was young and he was a child He vanished like July Some folks, they wondered why But old money has its friends Ain't it funny how the truth will bend Chorus: It's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret of her mystery... Verse II: Whispers, how they sound like raindrops Hush now we'll make it alright She's framed by the front porch light Uuuhuh, suspicion, raising up like dragonflies They say there's a story to tell Buried in the family well Now the congregation prays Save us from our evil ways But old money has its friends Ain't it funny how the truth will bend Chorus: It's the family secret, it's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret, just let it be I know the secret of her mystery... Solo: It's the family secret, it's the family secret It's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret, just let it be I know the secret to her mystery Keep it in the family now, behind closed doors Past the rows of cypress trees, through the Spanish moss Those old stone walls It's the family secret, it's the family secret |

Why do I feel like I'm losing you
Will it ever become what I've always wanted it to You tell me I'm the lucky one, how can you say that When it breaks my heart to see another woman with you Chorus: Oh lover of mine, oh lover of mine When it hurts so bad, I wanna hold you in my arms Make me feel like you wanna be a lover of mine After we've said all there is to say Am I still in your heart or am I just in your way My desire for you is running wild, jealousy, dangerous kind When I see you looking at another woman that way chorus Please set me free or give me a reason for trying to keep it alive There is no need for us to be lonely Give me some kind of hope, I'm walking a fine line chorus Make me feel like you wanna be a lover of mine Make me feel like you wanna be a lover of mine |
