Big Star

Sitting in the back of a car
Music so loud can't tell a thing
Thinking 'bout what to say
I can't find the lines

You know I love you a lot
I just don't know, should I not?
Waiting for a brighter day
I can't find a way

I'll go on and on with you
Like to fall and lie with you
I love you, too
Wo wo wo

Baby, I'm too afraid
I just don't know if it's okay
Trying to get away
From everything

Why don't you take me home
It's gone too far inside this car
I know I'll feel a whole lot more
When I get alone

I'll go on and on with you
Like to fall and lie with you
I love you, too
Wo wo wo

Sitting in the back of a car
Music so loud can't tell a thing
Thinking 'bout what to say
I can't find the lines

I'm driving alone
sad about you
not going home
what's to do
you better not leave me here
better not leave me here
ooh I want you here
how can you leave me here.

I lie in a stream
and floating fine
receiving things
in my beautiful mind
sometimes oh sometimes
sometimes oh sometimes
lover yes I am
Lover you know I am.

Now I'm in a bar
that's got to be where they are
going to dance in the bar
they're going to fight on the floor
faster than I can see.

Now I gonna score
make for the door
Who is this whore ?
soon be beggin drags.

And I'm thinking Christ
nullify my life.

You're going to die
you gonna decease.

Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me

I know where you been
And I know what you been doing
Don't lie to me

Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round

I don't like that
Now, I'm telling you
Don't push me 'round

Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe

I don't think you would ?
Don't do it ?
Don't cross me babe

"the last"
"let's take it just from the break"
"fuck you"

I'm in love with a girl
Finest girl in the world
I didn't know I could feel this way

Think about her all the time
Always on my mind
I didn't know about love

All that a man should do is true
All that a man should do is true

I'm in love with a girl
Finest girl in the world
I didn't know this could happen to me

Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you

Steal your car and bring it down
Pick me up, we'll drive around
Wish we had
A joint so bad

Bust a street light
Out past midnight

Ahh ahh ahh ah
Ahh ahh ahh ah

Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you

I can't be satisfied
what you want me to do
and so I moan
had to leave my home

Love my gull oooh yeh
she got to save my soul
I want a witness I want to testify

How long can this go on?

All night long I was howling
I was a barking dog
aahow aahow

In this town, television shuts off at two
What can a lonely rock 'n' roller do?
Bed so big, the sheets are clean
You're girlfriend said you were nineteen

The Styrofoam ice bucket's full of ice
Come up to my motel room and treat me nice

I don't wanna make no late night New York calls
I don't wanna stare at those ugly grass mat walls
Chronologically I know you're young
But when you kissed me in the club you bit my tongue

I'll write a song for you and put it on my next LP
Come up to my motel room and sleep with me

There's a Bible in the drawer, don't be afraid
I'll put up a sign to warn the cleanup maid
There's lots of soap and lots of towels
Never mind those desk clerk scowls

I'll buy you breakfast, they'll think you're my wife
Come up to my motel room and save my life

O my soul, mama
I lose control
Go ahead and shake if you wanna
And I'll never know
Well, come on
You know it's alright
We've got all night
You're driving me mad, now
You shouldn't do that
We're going to get on up
And drink 'til we drop

You're really a nice girl
And I think you're the most
And when we're together
I feel like a boss

Trying to see you
I'd knock off your doors
Dying to see you
I'm down on the floor

I can't get a license
To drive in my car
But I don't really need it
If I'm a big star

Trying to see you
I'd knock off your doors
Dying to see you
I'm down on the floor

Never you mind
Go on and have a good time

Never you mind
Go on and have a good time
Yes, indeed

I can't get a license
To drive in my car
But I don't really need it
If I'm a big star

Trying to see you
I'd knock off your doors
Dying to see you
I'm down on the floor
Hey

September girls do so much
I was your butch and you were touched
I loved you, well, nevermind
I've been crying all the time

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad

September girls, I don't know why
How can I deny what's inside?
Even though I'll keep away
They will love all our days

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad

When I get to bed late at night
That's the time she makes things right
Ooh, when she makes love to me

September girls do so much
I was your butch and you were touched
I loved you, well, nevermind
I've been crying all the time

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad, ooh

She don't believe anything and she can
dance oh now all night
so wild when she's a mover
she's so wild.

Draggin fast we go
ooh I dig speed so good
it destroy her in the cruiser
it destroyer.

She name was Marsha
Marsha the name
she look like a dove now
and when she smile like crocodile

She tells the man to go to hell
and where that's at is where I'm coming
from
so wild ooh she's a mover.

She like devil you know
She finds herself in Catholic school
she's wild.

Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God

And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

There's people around who tell you that they know
And places where they send you, and it's easy to go
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row
But you know you don't have to, you could just say no

And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

I've been built up and trusted
Broke down and busted
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours if you can
Just-a hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
Though I've been trying hard against strong odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
Well, I'll fall if I don't fight, and at my side is God

And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you, ooh ooh

Won't you tell your dad get off my back?
Tell him what we said 'bout Paint It Black
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you, ooh ooh

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so, well let me know
If it's no, well I can go
I won't make you, ooh ooh

She's a schemer and she makes me bad
But I love her a lot those lonely nights
I was in a big room playing my things
Oh I wish she were here she can be so kind
When she's not trying to hide
She tries not to love me but she knows she can

And why don't you come on back from

Try to understand what I'm going through
Don't blame me for what folks will do
For some of us it's not a good time
But you've gotta to get used to it
And you'd better resign yourself

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lot of nerve

You just do what pleases you
Go on and sigh out every move
You're gonna get a place in the scene
All God's orphans get face in the dream

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lot of nerve

Too bad
Such a drag
So much pain
Down the drain
A lot of us ain't got many friends

Try to understand what I'm going through
Don't blame me for what folks will do
For some of us it's not a good time
But you've gotta to get used to it
And you'd better resign yourself

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lot of nerve
You get what you deserve

Lady Sweet, I declare
That you're the troubled girl for me
And the stars above
And there is no either
Better lover down the street
Looks like you can't be beat

I might as well be losing sleep, for all the good it would do me
When the fear of failing runs so deep and purely

Lady Sweet
Don't tell me that I've gone crazy
And your beauty is only in my mind
For I can say
That what I see
Is so exactly what I need to find

(maybe one more time)

I might as well be losing sleep, for all the good it would do me
When the fear of failing runs so deeply and truly
Lady Sweet

Can't you see?
That I'm am free to choose
And I choose Lady Sweet
I know she can't be beat

I might as well be losing sleep, for all the good it would do me
When the fear of failing runs so deep inside
Just one more time

I might as well be losing sleep, truly straight on trough me
When the fear of failing runs so deep
I do believe is Lady Sweet

Wond’ring what are you doing
You're driving me to ruin
The love that you've been stealing
Has given me a feeling

I feel like I'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end

Feel like I'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying

Feel like I'm dying

You feel sad 'cause I got mad
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Things I said made things seem bad
But don't worry
'Cause it's gonna be alright now
Be okay
You know I just don't think before I speak

I've been looking for to find
Something to believe in my mind
And I thought it was you

All this time since you've been mine
I've been angry, so angry
Made it known I could make it alone
But I'm changing
And I'm gonna be alright now
Be okay
You know I just woke up and I see the way

Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's me that's wrong at last
Give me another chance

It's so hard just to stay alive each day
I really can't go on this way, oh no
Oh no

Hey

Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's me that's wrong at last
Give me another chance

I'm in love with a girl
Finest girl in the world
I didn't know I could feel this way

Think about her all the time
Always on my mind
I didn't know about love

All that a man should do is true
All that a man should do is true

I'm in love with a girl
Finest girl in the world
I didn't know this could happen to me

Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you

Steal your car and bring it down
Pick me up, we'll drive around
Wish we had
A joint so bad

Bust a street light
Out past midnight

Ahh ahh ahh ah
Ahh ahh ahh ah

Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you

Don't like to see your face
don't like to hear you talk at all
I could be with Ann
but I'd just get bored

Can't even bring myself to call

I can't be satisfied
what you want me to do
and so I moan
had to leave my home

Love my gull oooh yeh
she got to save my soul
I want a witness I want to testify

How long can this go on?

All night long I was howling
I was a barking dog
aahow aahow

Morpha too small you're going to hurt yourself
I might call and I might need some help
I'm and old show and I don't know what to do
I'm in love with you.

Kitty asked me to read her stars
I had liked her from afar
going to play with your heart
I knew not to start
but there you are.

Once I walked a lonely road
I had no one to share my love
But then you came and showed the way
And now I hope you're here to stay

You give me light, you are my day
You give me life and that's right
You give me light, you are my day
You give me life and that's right
So right, so right, so right

Lonely days of uncertainty
They disappear when you're near me
When you're around my life's worthwhile
And now I long to see you smile

You give me light, you are my day
You give me life and that's right
You give me light, you are my day
You give me life and that's right
So right, so right, so right

My life is right
My life is right
My life is right

Once I walked a lonely road
I had no one to share my love
But then you came and showed the way
And now I hope you're here to stay

You give me light, you are my day
You give me life and that's right
You give me light, you are my day
You give me life and that's right
So right, so right, so right

My life is right

Go ahead and shake if you wanna
And I'll never know

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

I'd like to go to India
Live in a big white house in the forest
Drink gin and tonic and play a grand piano
Read a few books
Far from what saddens my heart
Trying to live away from it

Find a new girl
Who says she feels the same
Get to know her after the trip
Bathe in a forest pool
Her life a part of mine
And let no one know until I'm gone

Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you, ooh ooh

Won't you tell your dad get off my back?
Tell him what we said 'bout Paint It Black
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay

Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so, well let me know
If it's no, well I can go
I won't make you, ooh ooh

Lord, I've been trying to be what I should
Lord, I've been trying to do what I could
But each time, it gets a little harder
I feel the pain
But I'll try again

Lord, I've been trying to be understood
And Lord, I've been trying to do as you would
But each time, it gets a little harder
I feel the pain
But I'll try again

I can feel it, now it's time
Open your eyes
Fears be gone, it won't be long
There's a light in the sky
It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise

Sun, it shines on all of us
We are one in it's hand
Come inside and light my room
like the heart of every man
It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise

I can feel it, now it's time
Open your eyes
Fears be gone, it won't be long
There's a light in the sky
It's okay to look outside
Your love it will abide
And watch the sunrise

She's a schemer and she makes me bad
But I love her a lot those lonely nights
I was in a big room playing my things
Oh I wish she were here she can be so kind
When she's not trying to hide
She tries not to love me but she knows she can

And why don't you come on back from

I liked her face and oh those eyes
She left today oh goodbye
And looking at you I'm drained outright
And isolated in the light

And I resigned everyone
Ever since I was young
I'm starting to understand
What's going on and how it's planned

I like love but I don’t know
All these girls, they come and go
Always nothing left to say

And I resigned everyone
Ever since I was young
I'm starting to understand
What's going on and how it's planned

Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
...

Don't need to talk to my doctor
Don't need to talk to my shrink
Don't need to hide behind no locked door
I don't need to think

'Cause when my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know

Read all my books and talked about
Listen to my radio
Been in school and dropped right out
Tryin' to find out what I didn't know

But when my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know

Don't need to talk to my doctor
Don't need to talk to my shrink
Don't need to hide behind no locked door
I don't need to think

'Cause when my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know

When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry

I see you walking, I see you talking
With all of my friends
I'm shadowed under, you're like some thunder
Wanna be your friend

I wanna call ya, I wanna ball ya
All night long
In whims of passion, my whip is lashin'
I wanna get you and then



Ooo, you're strange
Don't lame me, baby strange
Don't lame me, baby

The city's shakin', I ain't fakin'
Baby this is the end
I'm overloaded, my head exploded
I wanna get you and then

Sitting in the back of a car
Music so loud can't tell a thing
Thinking 'bout what to say
I can't find the lines

You know I love you a lot
I just don't know, should I not?
Waiting for a brighter day
I can't find a way

I'll go on and on with you
Like to fall and lie with you
I love you, too
Wo wo wo

Baby, I'm too afraid
I just don't know if it's okay
Trying to get away
From everything

Why don't you take me home
It's gone too far inside this car
I know I'll feel a whole lot more
When I get alone

I'll go on and on with you

Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round

I've been built up and trusted
Broke down and busted
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours
Just if we can
Just, ah, hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Years ago my heart was set to live, oh
But i've been trying hard against strong odds
It gets so hard at times like now to hold on
Well, i'll fall if i don't fight
And at my side is god

Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

[alternate lines of last verse:]
Years ago i was all set to go
And i've been trying hard against long odds
It gets so hard at times like this to even hang around
I can either stand or fall
And i believe i'm gonna stand tall

Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me

I know where you been
And I know what you been doing
Don't lie to me

Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round

I don't like that
Now, I'm telling you
Don't push me 'round

Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe

I don't think you would ?
Don't do it ?
Don't cross me babe

"the last"
"let's take it just from the break"
"fuck you"

Your eyes are almost dead
Can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep

You're sitting down to dress
And you're a mess
You look in the mirror

You look in your eyes
Say you realize

Everybody goes
Leaving those who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can,
They don't just care.

They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your errors
Your mother's dead
She said, "Don't be afraid"

Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed

Everybody goes
Leaving those who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
You're a wasted face
You're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust.

Every night I tell myself,
"I am the cosmos,
I am the wind"
But that don't get you back again

Just when I was starting to feel okay
You're on the phone
I never wanna be alone

Never wanna be alone
I hate to have to take you home
Wanted too much to say no, no,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Never wanna be alone
I hate to have to take you home
Want you too much to say no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

My feeling's always happening
Something I couldn't hide
I can't confide
Don't know what's going on inside

So every night I tell myself
"I am the cosmos,
I am the wind"
But that don't get you back again

I'd really like to see you again
I really wanna see you again
I'd really like to see you again
I really wanna see you again
I'd really like to see you again
I really wanna see you again
I never wanna see you again
Really wanna see you again

Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you

Steal your car and bring it down
Pick me up, we'll drive around
Wish we had
A joint so bad

Bust a street light
Out past midnight

Ahh ahh ahh ah
Ahh ahh ahh ah

Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you

Angels from the realms of glory
Stars shone bright above
Royal David's city
Was bathed in light of love

Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born

Lo, they did rejoice
Fine and pure of voice
And the wrong shall fail
And the right prevail

Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
And we're gonna get born now

I can't be satisfied
what you want me to do
and so I moan
had to leave my home

Love my gull oooh yeh
she got to save my soul
I want a witness I want to testify

How long can this go on?

All night long I was howling
I was a barking dog
aahow aahow

In this town, television shuts off at two
What can a lonely rock 'n' roller do?
Bed so big, the sheets are clean
You're girlfriend said you were nineteen

The Styrofoam ice bucket's full of ice
Come up to my motel room and treat me nice

I don't wanna make no late night New York calls
I don't wanna stare at those ugly grass mat walls
Chronologically I know you're young
But when you kissed me in the club you bit my tongue

I'll write a song for you and put it on my next LP
Come up to my motel room and sleep with me

There's a Bible in the drawer, don't be afraid
I'll put up a sign to warn the cleanup maid
There's lots of soap and lots of towels
Never mind those desk clerk scowls

I'll buy you breakfast, they'll think you're my wife
Come up to my motel room and save my life

At nightime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
And dressing so sweet, all the people to see
They're looking at me, all the people to see.

And when I set my eyes on you
You look like a kitty
And when you're in the moon
Oh you look so pretty

Caught a glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies
Glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies

I'm walking down the freezing street
Scarf goes out behind
You said get them away
Please don't say a word

Get me out of here
Get me out of here
I hate it here
Get me out of here

At nightime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
Glanced in your eyes and fell through the skies
Dance in your eyes and fell through the skies

I rather shoot a woman than a man
I worry whether this is my last life
And girl, if you're listening
I'm sorry, I can't help it

O Dana
O Dana, come on

I'm forevermore fighting with Steven
We do our goo-goo-koos
But we know
Overboard and down
And strung out twice

O Dana
O Dana, come on

We seldom know what things are
Two illusions going very far

O Dana
O Dana, come on

I got busted across the bridge
They rounded up every soul
Now never the East Side
She says, "Don't give a girl a chance"
She's not afraid to take a chance

O Dana
O Dana, come on

She's got a magic wand
That says play with yourself before other ones

O Dana
O Dana, come on, come on
O, O Dana, Dana come on

September girls do so much
I was your butch and you were touched
I loved you, well, nevermind
I've been crying all the time

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad

September girls, I don't know why
How can I deny what's inside?
Even though I'll keep away
They will love all our days

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad

When I get to bed late at night
That's the time she makes things right
Ooh, when she makes love to me

September girls do so much
I was your butch and you were touched
I loved you, well, nevermind
I've been crying all the time

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad, ooh

Thank you, friends
Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you
I'm so grateful for all the things you helped me do.

All the ladies and gentlemen
Who made this all so probable

Thank you, friends
I rejoice to the skies
Dear ones like you do the best I do
As far as can see my eyes

All the ladies and gentlemen
Who made this all so probable

Without my friends I got chaos
I'm often a bead of light.
Without my friends I'd be swept up high by the wind

do, do.......

All the ladies and gentlemen (I said all)
All the ladies and gentlemen (I said all)
All the ladies and gentlemen
Who made this all so probable

Thank you friends (thank you again)
Thank you friends (thank you again)
Dear, dear friends (thank you again)
Thank you friends (thank you again)
And again, and again....
Never too late to start

Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you, ooh ooh

Won't you tell your dad get off my back?
Tell him what we said 'bout Paint It Black
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you, ooh ooh

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so, well let me know
If it's no, well I can go
I won't make you, ooh ooh

Try to understand what I'm going through
Don't blame me for what folks will do
For some of us it's not a good time
But you've gotta to get used to it
And you'd better resign yourself

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lot of nerve

You just do what pleases you
Go on and sigh out every move
You're gonna get a place in the scene
All God's orphans get face in the dream

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lot of nerve

Too bad
Such a drag
So much pain
Down the drain
A lot of us ain't got many friends

Try to understand what I'm going through
Don't blame me for what folks will do
For some of us it's not a good time
But you've gotta to get used to it
And you'd better resign yourself

You get what you deserve
You ought to find out what it's worth
And you've gotta have a lot of nerve
You get what you deserve

Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you, ooh ooh

Won't you tell your dad get off my back?
Tell him what we said 'bout Paint It Black
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you, ooh ooh

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so, well let me know
If it's no, well I can go
I won't make you, ooh ooh

I see you walking, I see you talking
With all of my friends
I'm shadowed under, you're like some thunder
Wanna be your friend

I wanna call ya, I wanna ball ya
All night long
In whims of passion, my whip is lashin'
I wanna get you and then



Ooo, you're strange
Don't lame me, baby strange
Don't lame me, baby

The city's shakin', I ain't fakin'
Baby this is the end
I'm overloaded, my head exploded
I wanna get you and then

Sitting in the back of a car
Music so loud can't tell a thing
Thinking 'bout what to say
I can't find the lines

You know I love you a lot
I just don't know, should I not?
Waiting for a brighter day
I can't find a way

I'll go on and on with you
Like to fall and lie with you
I love you, too
Wo wo wo

Baby, I'm too afraid
I just don't know if it's okay
Trying to get away
From everything

Why don't you take me home
It's gone too far inside this car
I know I'll feel a whole lot more
When I get alone

I'll go on and on with you
Like to fall and lie with you
I love you, too
Wo wo wo

Sitting in the back of a car
Music so loud can't tell a thing
Thinking 'bout what to say
I can't find the lines

I'm driving alone
sad about you
not going home
what's to do
you better not leave me here
better not leave me here
ooh I want you here
how can you leave me here.

I lie in a stream
and floating fine
receiving things
in my beautiful mind
sometimes oh sometimes
sometimes oh sometimes
lover yes I am
Lover you know I am.

Now I'm in a bar
that's got to be where they are
going to dance in the bar
they're going to fight on the floor
faster than I can see.

Now I gonna score
make for the door
Who is this whore ?
soon be beggin drags.

And I'm thinking Christ
nullify my life.

You're going to die
you gonna decease.

Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me

I know where you been
And I know what you been doing
Don't lie to me

Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round

I don't like that
Now, I'm telling you
Don't push me 'round

Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe

I don't think you would ?
Don't do it ?
Don't cross me babe

"the last"
"let's take it just from the break"
"fuck you"

Wond’ring what are you doing
You're driving me to ruin
The love that you've been stealing
Has given me a feeling

I feel like I'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end

Feel like I'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end

Wond’ring what are you doing
You're driving me to ruin
The love that you've been stealing
Has given me a feeling

Feel like I'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end

Feel like I'm dying
Feel like I'm dying

Sometimes I can't help but worship you
I love you and all the things that you do
I thought I'd sit and write this song just for you
To let you know that I am thinking of you

When I come home so cold at night
You'll have the fireplace burning bright
Thoughts of how it's going to be
And how I'll spend those cold, cold nights warm by you

And in these autumn days I wander through the leaves
Thinking of those winter nights I'll spend with you

And when I come home so cold at night
You'll have the fireplace burning bright
Thoughts of how it's going to be
And how I'll spend those cold, cold nights warm by you

Every night I tell myself,
"I am the cosmos,
I am the wind"
But that don't get you back again

Just when I was starting to feel okay
You're on the phone
I never wanna be alone

Never wanna be alone
I hate to have to take you home
Wanted too much to say no, no,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Never wanna be alone
I hate to have to take you home
Want you too much to say no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

My feeling's always happening
Something I couldn't hide
I can't confide
Don't know what's going on inside

So every night I tell myself
"I am the cosmos,
I am the wind"
But that don't get you back again

I'd really like to see you again
I really wanna see you again
I'd really like to see you again
I really wanna see you again
I'd really like to see you again
I really wanna see you again
I never wanna see you again
Really wanna see you again

Hanging out, down the street

Bust a street light
Out past midnight

Ahh ahh ahh ah
Ahh ahh ahh ah

Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you

See that girl, watch her dance
If I knew her name I wouldn't have to sit on my hands
If my mouth don't work I get some help
And she don't mind if I don't keep my hands to myself

You're all right
You put up such a good clean fight
I'm afraid that you lose tonight
S-L-U-T
She may be a slut but she looks good to me

You're so clean, so refined
You don't care to get messy just to have a good time
She's got saggy thighs and baggy eyes
But she loves me in a way I can still recognize

Thank you, friends
Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you
I'm so grateful for all the things you helped me do.

All the ladies and gentlemen
Who made this all so probable

Thank you, friends
I rejoice to the skies

And again, and again....
Never too late to start

Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God

And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

There's people around who tell you that they know
And places where they send you, and it's easy to go
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row
But you know you don't have to, you could just say no

And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

I've been built up and trusted
Broke down and busted
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours if you can
Just-a hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
Though I've been trying hard against strong odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
Well, I'll fall if I don't fight, and at my side is God

And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

She's a schemer and she makes me bad
But I love her a lot those lonely nights
I was in a big room playing my things
Oh I wish she were here she can be so kind
When she's not trying to hide
She tries not to love me but she knows she can

And why don't you come on back from

Don't need to talk to my doctor
Don't need to talk to my shrink
Don't need to hide behind no locked door
I don't need to think

'Cause when my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know

Read all my books and talked about
Listen to my radio
Been in school and dropped right out
Tryin' to find out what I didn't know

But when my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know

Don't need to talk to my doctor
Don't need to talk to my shrink
Don't need to hide behind no locked door
I don't need to think

'Cause when my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know

When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know

Driving in my big black car
Nothing can go wrong
I'm going and I don't know how far
So, so long.

Maybe I'll sleep in a Holiday Inn
Nothing can hurt me
Nothing can touch me
Why should I care?
Driving's a gas
It ain't gonna last.

Sunny day, highway
If it rains it's all the same.
I can't feel a thing
I can't feel a thing

I've got a big black car.

Nothing can hurt me
Nothing can touch me
Why should I care?
Driving's a gas
It ain't gonna last.

The lights above, oh yes.
I see the stars above

Let me be your one light
And if you'd like a true heart
Take the time to show you're mine
And I'll be a blue moon in the dark.

While you sleep you'll see me there
Clouds race across the sky
Close your eyes and don't ask why
And I'll be a blue moon in your eyes.

Morning comes and sleeping's done
Birds sing outside
If demons come while you're under
I'll be a blue moon in the sky

Let me be your one light
And if you'd like a true heart
Take the time to show you're mine
And I'll be a blue moon in the dark

Take downs
Things sinkin' with a melody
Someone's gonna ask if you graduated
But as for you
Throw down

Isolated as far as you go
I'm well versed in the walls of worst
In the windows of most
Wind down

A.C.
Coast to coast
High cool 'cept when I lie with you
Naked on a southern love
Oh cool downs

Cool downs
Wise and prosperous
That I am
Flustered and erratic
'Cept when I lie with you
Naked on a southern love
Give downs
Rub downs
Lie downs
Any downs at all
Any downs at all

You're a dream lover
And I'm never gonna let you go
And there's no other
Could look as good as you right now
And you shine like ice
And glare your eyes
Won't those daydreams come true

On Beale Street Green
My wishes visualized
You're real, so real
Seen twixt me and you
And I wake up and shiver
A lonely quiver
And I don't know where to look
Dream lover
Dream, you're a dream lover
Play it for me guitarist.

Here she comes
You better watch your step
She's gonna break your heart in two
It's true

It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes.
She'll build you up to just put you down
What a clown

'Cause everybody knows
The things she does to please
She's just a little tease
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

You're written in her book
You're number 37 have a look
She's gonna smile to make you frown
What a clown

Little boy she's from the street
Before you start you're already beat
She's gonna play you for a fool
Yes it true.

Everybody knows
The things she does to please
She's just a little tease
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

Everybody knows
The things she does to please
She's just a little tease
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

Sometimes I can't help but worship you
I love you and all the things that you do
I thought I'd sit and write this song just for you
To let you know that I am thinking of you

When I come home so cold at night
You'll have the fireplace burning bright
Thoughts of how it's going to be
And how I'll spend those cold, cold nights warm by you

And in these autumn days I wander through the leaves
Thinking of those winter nights I'll spend with you

And when I come home so cold at night
You'll have the fireplace burning bright
Thoughts of how it's going to be
And how I'll spend those cold, cold nights warm by you

Your eyes are almost dead
Can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep

You're sitting down to dress
And you're a mess
You look in the mirror

You look in your eyes
Say you realize

Everybody goes
Leaving those who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can,
They don't just care.

They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your errors
Your mother's dead
She said, "Don't be afraid"

Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed

Everybody goes
Leaving those who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
You're a wasted face
You're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust.

Angels from the realms of glory
Stars shone bright above
Royal David's city
Was bathed in light of love

Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born

Lo, they did rejoice
Fine and pure of voice
And the wrong shall fail
And the right prevail

Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
And we're gonna get born now

I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide anything
I saw you breathing, oh
I saw you staring out in space

I next saw you
You was at the party
Thought you was a queen
Oh so flirty
I came against

Didn't say excuse
Knew what I was doing
We looked very fine
'Cause we were leaving

Like Saint Joan
Doing a cool jerk
Oh, I want you
Like a kanga roo

Dreams and wishes, like shooting stars
Coming up rushes
I want to white out
I want to white out

I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you, yeah.
Kizza me
Lesa, why not.

Curse wild, windy linen
Warm life, so-and-so
I want to white out
I want to come on out.

I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you, yeah.
Kizza me
Lesa, why not.

Dreams and wishes, shooting stars
Coming up rushes, okay okay.
I want to white out
I want to white out

I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you, yeah.
Kizza me
Lesa, why not.

That's enough, baby

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far
Very far over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And as we talked of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved in return

At nightime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
And dressing so sweet, all the people to see
They're looking at me, all the people to see.

And when I set my eyes on you
You look like a kitty
And when you're in the moon
Oh you look so pretty

Caught a glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies
Glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies

I'm walking down the freezing street
Scarf goes out behind
You said get them away
Please don't say a word

Get me out of here
Get me out of here
I hate it here
Get me out of here

At nightime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
Glanced in your eyes and fell through the skies
Dance in your eyes and fell through the skies

I rather shoot a woman than a man
I worry whether this is my last life
And girl, if you're listening
I'm sorry, I can't help it

O Dana
O Dana, come on

I'm forevermore fighting with Steven
We do our goo-goo-koos
But we know
Overboard and down
And strung out twice

O Dana
O Dana, come on

We seldom know what things are
Two illusions going very far

O Dana
O Dana, come on

I got busted across the bridge
They rounded up every soul
Now never the East Side
She says, "Don't give a girl a chance"
She's not afraid to take a chance

O Dana
O Dana, come on

She's got a magic wand
That says play with yourself before other ones

O Dana
O Dana, come on, come on
O, O Dana, Dana come on

Child will you come on down
Come on in with me
Morning says to idle on
Stay clear of the street.
On the wing
And on the land
Can you sing
With anything

Do you wanna dance
Do ya
Do ya, do ya, do ya wanna dance
Stroke it Noel

They say we're lazy men
Drinkin' our white wine
We could go right insane
'Cause we can buy the time
Oh, keep an eye
On the sky
Will they come
Oh the bombs

Do you wanna dance
Easy now, easy now
Do ya, do ya, do ya wanna dance
Do ya wanna, do ya, wanna dance

Take care not to hurt yourself
Beware of the need for help
You might need too much
And people are such
Take care, please, take care

Some people read idea books
And some people have pretty looks
But if your eyes are wide
And all words aside
Take care, please, take care

This sounds a bit like goodbye
In a way it is I guess
As I leave your side
I've taken the air
Take care, please, take care
Take care, please, take care

Thank you, friends
Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you
I'm so grateful for all the things you helped me do.

All the ladies and gentlemen
Who made this all so probable

Thank you, friends
I rejoice to the skies
Dear ones like you do the best I do
As far as can see my eyes

All the ladies and gentlemen
Who made this all so probable

Without my friends I got chaos
I'm often a bead of light.
Without my friends I'd be swept up high by the wind

do, do.......

All the ladies and gentlemen (I said all)
All the ladies and gentlemen (I said all)
All the ladies and gentlemen
Who made this all so probable

Thank you friends (thank you again)
Thank you friends (thank you again)
Dear, dear friends (thank you again)
Thank you friends (thank you again)
And again, and again....
Never too late to start
