In the mornin you go gunnin' For the man who stole your water And you fire till he is done in But they catch you at the border And the mourners are all singin' As they drag you by your feet But the hangman isn't hangin' And they put you on the street
*You go back Jack do it again Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round You go back Jack do it again
When you know she's no high climber Then you find your only friend In a room with your two timer And you're sure you're near the end Then you love a little wild one And she brings you only sorrow All the time you know she's smilin' You'll be on your knees tomorrow cryin'
* Repeat
Now you swear and kick and beg us That you're not a gamblin' man Then you find you're back in Vegas With a handle in your hand Your black cards can make you money So you hide them when you're able In the land of milk and honey You must put them on the table
I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me Ah love was out to get me That's the way it seemed Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind I'm in love I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a giving thing Seems the more I gave the less I got What's the use in trying All you get is pain When I needed sunshine I got rain
Then I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind I'm in love I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried
Ah love was out to get me Now that's the way it seemed Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Ah then I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind I'm in love Oh I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried
Yes I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind Said, I'm a believer yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Said I'm a believer yeah
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was lookin kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Head to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun, Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with takin the backstreets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow
*Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,
And all that glitters is gold Only shootin stars break the mold
It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now, wait till you get older But the media men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is gettin pretty thin The water's gettin warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire, how about yours? Cuz that's the way i like it and i never get bored
* Repeat And all that glitters is gold Only shootin stars
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas I need to get myself away from this place I said yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself And we could all use a little change
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Head to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun, Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with takin the backstreets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles She came There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee She came Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago She came Blood on the rise, it's following me Think about the break of day
She came and then she drove away Sunlight in her hair
She came Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness She came Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh She came Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city She came The women are crying rivers of weepin'
She came into town and then she drove away Sunlight in her hair
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice Blood in my love in the terrible summer Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.
Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers Blood will be born in the birth of a nation Blood is the rose of mysterious union
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago Blood on the rise, it's following me

Hold me down I'm gonna fly straight to heaven Hold me down Dont ever let go I've been around You know I can't stay forever And when I leave I want you to know
When I'm finally gone, I'm gonna be gone without a trace There's a lot of good times ahead before we're done And on top of this list of things before I leave this place You are my number one, yes you are my number one
Cause you can tell me lies, you know that I'd still believe you (say what?) Stay right here dont leave from that spot (come right back here my girl) I can't go, you know I'm afraid to leave you Don't you know? you're all that I've got I'm afread if you go you might disappear behind a mist And I'd rather be hung from a tree or shot by a gun And of all of these things that matter here upon my list You are my number one, yes you are my number one

Things are getting weird, things are getting tough Nothing's making sense but you keep on looking up They tell you to be true, you're trying every day You keep it on the real, still you gotta find a way To make your mama happy, to make your papa proud You gotta turn it up but all you hear is turn it down
So gather round I'm here to say You'll never make everybody's day But while you're around you might as well Catch the tiger by his tail
And hang on hang on hang on Everybody just Get on get on get on get started Just go on go on go on Everybody just hang on
Sometimes I wanna cry and throw the towel in They try to beat me down but I'll take it on the chin And everywhere I go the people are the same They just wanna know that everything will be OK Things are getting rough, turn it back around You gotta turn it up when they tell you tone it down
I know she likes her magazines And what they’re wearing down in Hollywood I know she wants green tea ice cream And just for fun melting in the sun She likes her jokes as long as they’re bad And I’ll laugh anyway
But I’ll never really know her She told me all I really need to know Is that she’ll always get her way And she’ll always get away with it
She likes to take me out so I Can watch her dance with her girlfriends And the cool boys playin’ pool stop and stare At the way she moves Dancin’ Queen is blarin’ She likes to know that she will be driving me home Because I’m too stoned
But I’ll never really know her She told me all I really need to know Is that she’ll always get her way And she’ll always get away with it She knows that she will always get away with it ...
She likes her primetime TV shows With a secret crush on David Letterman But she could never let her friends know She’s pure punk rock at a ripe twenty-seven I know these things I’ve seen the presets on her car stereo
But I’ll never really know her She told me all I really need to know Is that she’ll always get her way And she’ll always get away with it She always gets her way And she’ll always get away with it She’ll get away with it
Hold me down I'm gonna fly straight to heaven Hold me down Dont ever let go I've been around You know I can't stay forever And when I leave I want you to know
When I'm finally gone, I'm gonna be gone without a trace There's a lot of good times ahead before we're done And on top of this list of things before I leave this place You are my number one, yes you are my number one

It's like I told you before baby And what more could I say that I know you should know Three little words are thrown around so much That after a while they begin to lose their touch And you know that I should think of something better Switch it around like I came up with something clever Or maybe I should just shut up Cuz I got nothing but a whole lotta love Could you be lovelier? For you I'd take off my shoes and my socks baby And watch you laugh as I walk across burning rocks But then I couldn't chase you everywhere you go And it's all about the chase, everybody knows I'd like to think that you would never make me do this But you know I'd do it if I had to prove it I'd do it again and again, you know I'd dummy up Cuz I got nothing but a whole lotte love Could you be lovelier? Could I be luckier? So why was I so dumb? Maybe we're living on Mars And Venus is too far Now I got nothing but nothing to lose Could you be lovelier? I don't know But I've seen a lot of things and nothing measures up They say that beauty never goes deeper than the skin I know a certain girl they've never ever seen And every time I see ya I just wanna get near ya And I just wanna make it crystal clear It's like I told you before, I got nothing for you But a whole lotta love
you go around your tiny world again Playing space man in your silver ship You say you wanna come back down to Earth again When you're down you find your mind and slip
There you go Just like all the other times before Space man, you're lost in space
Anti-gravitation keeps you high above Like some comet speeding towards the sun Communication's lost between the ones you love It's impossible to think that something loves you more than us
Things are getting weird, things are getting tough Nothing's making sense but you keep on looking up They tell you to be true, you're trying every day You keep it on the real, still you gotta find a way To make your mama happy, to make your papa proud You gotta turn it up but all you hear is turn it down
So gather round I'm here to say You'll never make everybody's day But while you're around you might as well Catch the tiger by his tail
And hang on hang on hang on Everybody just Get on get on get on get started Just go on go on go on Everybody just hang on
Sometimes I wanna cry and throw the towel in They try to beat me down but I'll take it on the chin And everywhere I go the people are the same They just wanna know that everything will be OK Things are getting rough, turn it back around You gotta turn it up when they tell you tone it down
Met someone I knew before The windowpane to the soul They will never let you down And we'd know We've seen each other around
Doing the late night downtown crawl Deep inside I know I'm sick and tired of it all It comes too quick and goes too fast Does anything ever last at all?
We're just looking for a wall to crash into And me I'd be happy just bumping into you
Here I am and there they go And if you ask me how I know The oldest story in the world Then I hope someday you'll know
That they'll never die if you never grieve Everybody's moving to a place they gotta leave So kill your TV and kill your phone Be quiet and be alone with you
When technology solves apologies I will retire With records and candles and pencils and cameras And your soul in my eyes...
