Mick Box

Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land
For an enemy
Came across
Love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost

Sky full of eyes
Minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts
Down to their graves
Murdered the dawn
Spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun
Of which love was born

We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice - the future has it's price
And today is only
Yesterday's tomorrow

Tomorrow ...

This is a thing I have
Never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've
Never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin?and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road
I had walked behind you

Easy livin?and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'

I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me: "Hold on"
Her father was the leading man
Said: "You're not welcome on our land"
And then as a foe, he told me to go

He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her: "Leave me"
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
Sweet little girl
She means all the world

Oh, I want my qypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of a man
That he'll understand

She came to me one morning
one lonely Sunday morning
her long hair flowing
in the mid winter wind
I know not how she found me
for in darkness I was walking
and destruction lay around me
from a fight I could not win

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
to fight and kill their brothers
without thought of men or god
And I begged her give me
horses to trample down my enemies
so eager was my passion to devour
this waste of life

But she would not think of battle
that reduces men to animals
so easy to begin
and yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men
had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again
and asked if she would stay

Oh lady lend your hand I cried
Oh let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in me
she said and filled
my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
I've no such misconceptions
But when you need me be assured
I won't be far away

Thus having spoke she turned away
and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until
I saw her black cloak disappear
My labor is no easier
but now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize
and say hello for me

LOOK AT YOURSELF

I see you running
Don't know what
You're running from
Nobody's coming
What'd you do that was so wrong

Look back and turn back
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

If you need assistance
Or if all you need is love
There's no point in hiding
Tell me what you're frightened of

You've got a friend, just
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

There rides the rainbow demon
On his horse of crimson fire
Black shadows are following closely
On the heels of his desire

Ridin' on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day

Rainbow demon
Pick up your heart and run
Rainbow demon
Lives for his sword and his gun

Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide.
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride.

Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.

Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine.
I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time.

Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave.
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'. nothing left to save
but my life.

Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.

Stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine.
I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying.

All that fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to an early grave.
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save
but my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life.

So I stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine.
I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying.
I was stealing when I should have been buying,
I was stealing when I should have been buying.
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING woo
STEALING hahaha, yeh
I was STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING oh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
STEALING oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
STEALING rock'n'roll, alright
STEALING rock'n'roll, alright
STEALING babe, babe
STEALING should, should, should have been buying
STEALING should, should, should have been buying
STEALING should have, should have, should have been buying
STEALING buying, yeah

He was the wizard
Of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him
One night wandering
He told me tales
And he drank my wine
Me and my magic man
Kinda feeling fine

He had a cloak of gold
And eyes of fire
And as he spoke
I felt a deep desire
To free the world
Of its fear and pain
And help the people
To feel free again

Why don't we listen to
The voices in our hearts
멌ause then I know we'd find
We're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
The peace that love can bring

So spoke the wizard
In his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom
Means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And a million silver stars
That guide me with their light

Can't go to sleep without you
Starring in my dreams
I can't get you out of my head
I close my eyes, you're always there
I lock the door
But you're comin' up the stairs
Can't stay awake
I know I have to try
What will it take to stop you
Walking in my sleep
How can I break
The hold you have on me
Angel will you never
Ever set me free
Oh angel, I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed
You're an angel and
I can't get you out of my head
Angel, I can't stop you
Walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't
Stop you starring in my dreams
How come you're givin' me
These technicolour dreams
How can I get you out of my head
I close my eyes, you're always there
How can I get you out of my bed
I lie awake, all I see is you
I'm going crazy, what can I do
Switch off the light
Then you start to call
I lock the door
Now you're coming through the wall
Angel, I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed
You're an angel and
I can't get you out of my head
Sweet angel, I can't stop you
Walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't
Stop you starring in my dreams
I can't stay awake much longer
This feeling's getting stronger
You must be an angel
'Cause I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed
You're an angel and
I can't get you out of my head
Angel, I can't stop you
Walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't
Stop you starring in my dreams
Sweet angel, I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed
You're an angel and
I can't get you out of my head
Angel, I can't stop you
Wa

Desperate man, desperate times
Desperate heart
Once she was mine
Bad blood, cold sweat
The more I give, the less I get
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone
Bad blood runs through her veins
She's got bad blood
She'll never change
I held on long as I could
But that girl - bad blood
Perfect crimes, no clues
That girl's just bad news
I held on long as I could
Bad girl, bad blood
She cut clean to the bone
Tight jeans, danger zone
Girl's got bad blood ...
Glass heart, fools gold
Her blood is stone cold
Held on long as I could
But that girl's just no good
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone

Hit the city, hit the night
Crazy people, neon light
Hit the club, sip the wine
Just remember to leave on time
Hit the red lights, check the girls
You're steppin' into another world
See the man, he'll spin you alive
But just remember to leave on time
Heartache, city of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city
Crazy people in heartache city
City of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city, it's a city of sin
Check the star club, see the stars
See the action
In the back street bars
Lookin' for love
You're in the wrong place
Tricks for kicks
Can you stand the pace
Heartache, city of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city
Crazy people in heartache city
City of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city

Hit the city, hit the night
Crazy people, neon light
You pay your money
It's no real crime

Lost, lost like a precious flame
The ashes burn on
The ghost of a love we had
Tries to hold on, tries to hold on
No communication
All systems are down
No new conversation
Never a sound, never a sound
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone, holdin' on
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone
Cold, cold as the empty night
Deep in your eyes
I know there's no truth, no light
Only your lies, only your lies
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone, holdin' on
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone
The circle's broken
The damage is done
The crystal lies
Smashed on the floor

Your presence has left me now
Your spirit has gone
The ghost of a love we had
Tries to hold on, tries to hold on
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone, holdin' on
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone, holdin' on
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone, holdin' on
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone, holdin' on
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone

She's lost in the night
She's out of my sight
Gotta find her again
She's out of my life
Gotta find her again
Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the sun
Will I ever know the reason
Like a shadow she's gone

She's lost in the night
Out of my sight
Will I find her again
Taken my life
Have to find her again
Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the dawn
How can I ever find her
She's just a shadow
Missing person
I don't know where she's gone
Lost one love, last seen somewhere
Walkin' away from the light
Lost one love, somewhere last seen
Walkin' into the night, she's gone

Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the sun
Can I ever know the reason
Like a shadow, missing person
I don't know where she's gone
Lost one love, last seen somewhere
Walkin' away from the light
Lost one love, somewhere last seen
Walkin' into the night
She's lost in the night
And I don't the reason
Will I find her again
She's out of my sight
But I can't lose this feeling
Will I find her again
She's lost in the night
And I don't the reason
Will I find her again
She's out of my sight
But I can't lose this feeling
Will I find her again

Streets are full of rain
Lightning cracks the sky
Hear a lonely cry, eyes full of pain
Searchin' in the darkness
Eyes pierce the night
Calling for her young one
As she walks towards the light
It's the night of the wolf
Hear the cry of the wolf
Streets paved with gold
Night gives out a warning
There's thunder in her heart
And mother wolf is calling
Searchin' in the shadows
For the one she must save
She cries out a prayer
Like a song from beyond the grave
It's the night of the wolf
Hear the cry of the wolf
The bells will toll
No one will sleep tonight
While she alone will
Walk the streets tonight

Sun begins to rise
All the streets washed with rain
Still hear her cries
Eyes burnt with pain
Returning to the twilight
Betrayed by the night
Screaming for her young one
As she walks towards the light
It's the night of the wolf
Hear the cry of the wolf
It's the night of the wolf
Hear the cry of the wolf
It's the night of the wolf
Hear the cry of the wolf

You say you're gonna testify
Lie away, lie away
So you're gonna gun me down
Go ahead, fire away
You say you'll bring the curtain down
Turn around, walk away
You're gonna close this theatre down
Go ahead, stop the play
Your money talks, you pull the strings
Someone waits, in the wings
You flick the switch, the dancer falls
You deal the cards, the dealer calls in your game:
Poor little rich girl
Your money talks, you pull the strings
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns, we all have wings
You say you're gonna leave this town
Fly away, fly away
So you gonna shoot me down
Go ahead
Your money burns
Your money stings
Another script, left on the floor
Another face is shown the door in your game:
Poor little rich girl
Your money talks, you pull the strings
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns, we all have wings
In the game, poor little rich girl
It's easy come, it's easy go
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
You lock the door, close the show

Stand up, sit down
Don't turn around
Don't talk and don't smoke
Don't laugh, no joke
Too many rules, too many fools
Gonna raise it to the ground
We're gonna get high
Light up the sky
Gonna burn it down
Yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full
Speak up or shut up
Backs to the wall
Stand in line, take it outside
See the soldiers march in time
Rollin' out of bed, fallin' on my head
I think I'll pull the pin
Skools Burnin
Shape up, or ship out
Your hair's too long
Yes sir, no sir, the same old song
Stay after time and
Learn all your lines
Or write 'em out a thousand times
I heard what you said
Bells in my head
I think I'll pull the pin
Skools Burnin
There's gonna be a party tonight
People gonna come from miles
There's gonna be a fire here tonight
Gonna dance with the devil
Till the dawn
Dance with the devil till the dawn
Stand up, sit down
Don't turn around
Don't talk, don't smoke
Don't laugh, no joke
Too many rules, too many fools
Gonna raise it to the ground
Gonna get high, light up the sky
Gonna pull the pin
Skools Burnin

You're too vain, you're insane
You think the world will stop turning
'Cause you ain't around

Blind eyes, cheap lines
You got the whole band playing
But you don't hear the sound
Your venom pen
Will never poison me
I won't be sticking round that long

Corina, what's this talk of glory
Between the sheets in halls of fame
Corina, just a hard luck story
Bratpack fever
Running through your brain

Your fast cars, rock stars
You were seen at the party
But you weren't even there

False name, the same game
Somebody's minding your business
You don't even care
You think it's all
Some kind of circus ride
You think that someone's
Keeping score

I was only seventeen

Mister majestic fires a gun
Mister majestic
He got a lie on his tongue
You can't help but listen
He got a way with words
Don't ask useless questions
Unless you want to
Leave this world

Madam odessa carries a knife
Across to the jailhouse
In her pretty style
She ain't looking out for business
She got a way with words
She is gonna take that man
For what he done to her

This was how the west was won
Lawless and unruly
Now I guess what's done, is done

She took her old man in cold blood
He hit the deck
With that si-si-si-sickening thud


Life was cheap, that's what we
Always heard about
It was over something stupid
They could have talked it out

This was how the west was won
Lawless and unruly
Now I guess what's done, is done
Billy thought that billy was right

Where is the killer, nobody knows
He's waiting in the dark saloon
For night to close
He tried to cheat
At the gambling table
A stranger pulls and fires
As he falls he sees the stranger is
Madam in disguise

This was how the west was won ...

Tryin' to make it back
To my old home town
I've been driving since
The break of dawn
Got a feeling like a fever
Burning in my brain
When I see her
It'll be all gone

Pacific highway
Getting nearer now
And I feel like
The dream is coming true
Pacific highway
Getting closer now
I don't need directions
To find my way back to you

Take another turning
On the old creek road
Making sure I don't get lost
I'm hoping to hell
My taco's reading right
Get ahead no matter
What the cost

Tryin' to take it easy
On the old home stretch
But city limits come into sight
I'm getting ready for my Betty
God how I missed that girl
We're rock-n-rollin'
Through the night

I don't need directions
To find my way back to you

I only got five more miles, yeah
Only four more miles, yeah
I only got three miles, two miles
One mile to go

Wind it up, here comes the video
It's that song again
Turn it up, it's on the radio
Charge me up, I got electric eyes
I won't fall down
Light me up
Just like a christmas tree
Or am I seeing things
Wind it up, turn it up
Charge me up, never stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on
And give me rock'n'roll
Give me rock'n'roll
Strap me in to the rocket ship
I'm headin' for the sun
Tune me in to the mother ship
I must be seeing things
Wind it up, turn it up
Charge me up, please don't stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on
And give me rock'n'roll
Rockarama, it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on the stereo
Give me rock'n'roll ...
Plug me in jack to jack
Pin me to the wall
Hey leave that on, I'm on MTV
Now I'm seein' things
Wind it up, here comes that video
It's that song again
Turn me up, I'm on the radio
Or am I hearing things
Wind it up, turn it up

But sooner or later
I know that I'll forget you

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own

With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la …

I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasn't a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned

In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la …

There I was on a July morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own

She came to me one morning
one lonely Sunday morning
her long hair flowing
in the mid winter wind
I know not how she found me
for in darkness I was walking
and destruction lay around me
from a fight I could not win

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
to fight and kill their brothers
without thought of men or god
And I begged her give me
horses to trample down my enemies
so eager was my passion to devour
this waste of life

But she would not think of battle
that reduces men to animals
so easy to begin
and yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men
had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again
and asked if she would stay

Oh lady lend your hand I cried
Oh let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in me
she said and filled
my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
I've no such misconceptions
But when you need me be assured
I won't be far away

Thus having spoke she turned away
and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until
I saw her black cloak disappear
My labor is no easier
but now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize
and say hello for me

She came to me one morning
one lonely Sunday morning
her long hair flowing
in the mid winter wind
I know not how she found me
for in darkness I was walking
and destruction lay around me
from a fight I could not win

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
to fight and kill their brothers
without thought of men or god
And I begged her give me
horses to trample down my enemies
so eager was my passion to devour
this waste of life

But she would not think of battle
that reduces men to animals
so easy to begin
and yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men
had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again
and asked if she would stay

Oh lady lend your hand I cried
Oh let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in me
she said and filled
my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
I've no such misconceptions
But when you need me be assured
I won't be far away

Thus having spoke she turned away
and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until
I saw her black cloak disappear
My labor is no easier
but now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize
and say hello for me

LOOK AT YOURSELF

I see you running
Don't know what
You're running from
Nobody's coming
What'd you do that was so wrong

Look back and turn back
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

If you need assistance
Or if all you need is love
There's no point in hiding
Tell me what you're frightened of

You've got a friend, just
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just

Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide.
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride.

Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah

Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine.
I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time.

Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave.
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'. nothing left to save

He was the wizard of a thousand kings
and a chance to meet him one night wondering.
He told me tales and he drank my wine.
Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine.

He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire.
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire
to free the world of its fear and pain
and help the people to feel free again.

Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts?
Cause then I know we'll find we're not so far apart.
Everybody's got to be happy, everyone should see.
For we know the joy of life and peace that love can bring.

So spoke the wizard in his mountain home.
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone.
And I will dream of my magic night
and the million silver stars that guide me with their light

This is a thing I have
Never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've
Never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin?and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road
I had walked behind you

Easy livin?and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'

I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me: "Hold on"
Her father was the leading man
Said: "You're not welcome on our land"
And then as a foe, he told me to go

He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her: "Leave me"
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
Sweet little girl
She means all the world

Oh, I want my qypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of a man
That he'll understand

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own

With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la …

I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasn't a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned

In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la …

There I was on a July morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm

Yeah, and a road of my own

To free the world

We're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
The peace that love can bring

So spoke the wizard
In his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom
Means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And a million silver stars
That guide me with their light

Seen from the height
Of a thousand miles
The earth looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
But we can't find the things we need

Young man said the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test ?

The day of creation
Was our finest hour
It's something we ought to defend
But it's been so abused
Since the first day of light
That no glory can come in the end

Young man cried the old man
There is victory in staying alive
And if you care so little
For the world we're in
Why and what do you
Want to survive

Can't we try
To let the past go by
With it's lessons firmly
Settled in our minds
To our children one by one
And before the darkness comes
Let us leave a world full of light
Of a different kind

In truth they should meet
And with love
Their hearts should beat
And with patience
Solve the problems of our time
It wouldn't be so hard to do
It's only up to me and you
Let us not bequeath
A life that is a crime

Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test

Young man ...

Sail down the stream
Such a beautiful dream
Never stopping
Never touching anything
Till dawn awakes you
With a breath of the Spring

Far from the crowds
Way above the clouds
We can take you to
The edge of the day
And show you living in
A new kind of way

We'll take you floating to
A sea of morning dew
Where everyone's the same
And no-one knows your name
And there you'll see that you can
Live your life to the extreme
Such a beautiful dream

Sail down the stream
Such a beautiful dream
Never stopping
Never touching anything

Searching every day
Looking every way
Trying to make a connection
To find a piece of the action
Like a hungry poet
Who doesn't know
He is close to perfection
Choice is the question

Moonlight night
After moonlight night
Side by side
They will see us ride
But if they cared to look
Then they would see
It's our return to fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy ?

Can you understand
That in every man
There's a need to unwind
That's never been defined
Somewhere deep within
There's another being
You are somehow abusing
By the person you're using

Moonlight night
After moonlight night
Side by side
They will see us ride
But if they cared to look
Then they would see
It's just our return to fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy ?

Travelling faster than lightening
Closer than ever before
We can go on for you
And take you nearer to
The legend of mystery
From the beginning of time
Dreaming... time ... dreaming
We can return to
The land of the good and the kind
Time... dreaming... time... dreaming
Why don't you come to our party
And open your minds

In another place
There's a newer face
Like an unfinished painting
Your creator is waiting
The brush and pen describe
What it is inside
That will set your mind thinking
While the others are sinking

Out from St. Louis
I wasn't choosy
I just wanted to get
Back on the road
I hitched in cars
And worked in bars
Lookin' for a place
To lay down my load

I met a lady, a shady lady
And someone told her
I was all on my own
She poured a beer
And said when I'm finished here
Hang around 멵ause
I'm taking you home

Don't worry
I'll treat you all right
Don't worry
You can stay all night
I thought it was any easy ride
But I didn't know where
I was until I got inside

She said, ok sonny
Give me your money
And don't start any foolin' around
I said what, I said what
Don't you think you're
Turning me upside down

She said, I don't care
I've been everywhere
And I've not been looking for you
But I'll take you in
And give you a spin
You'll know some tricks
By the time we get through

Shady lady
You want it all your own way
Shady lady
You won't let go of your prey
Shady lady
Eat me up and spit me out
But let's get started now
I know what you're talking about

Now in the morning
As the day was dawning
Shady asked me if
I'd stay there awhile
I said stay, baby no way
But I couldn't keep myself
From a smile

I said now no bye-bye뭩
Go in and dry your eyes
That ain't fittin'
For a lady like you
Why not be smart
And give your life another start
But take care now
Whatever you do

Shady lady
I'm on my way
Shady lady
We'll meet again one day
And don't worry 'cause when we do
I'm gonna make sure
That there ain't
Very much left of you

When I'm all alone on a distant path
And my ticket home
Has been torn in half
Oh, I can hear your voice girl
I can feel your touch
Across the miles tonight

On the road again will it always be
That the dream has changed
On its way to reality
Oh but the thought of you
Strange how it pulls me through
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off through the midnight sky

As the miles go by cities come and go
When you close your eyes
And listen to the radio
Girl can you hear my song
The signal is clear and strong
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off across the miles

You're not the only one
Amongst the saints and sinners
There are those that we can see
And those no longer with us
To take that walk again
With someone you were close to
On stage in the other world tonight

And there are many
Who will say it's speculation
We need to focus on
The sleeping generation
The healing vision
That extends beyond the pain
Will take you there and back again

I can remember
You were no stranger
As you came to me
Dreamers walking
And in that moment
Between two worlds


I saw the furthest star
Exploding all around you

And through the journey
You spoke in silence
And you made it clear
Walk in peace now
Then you touched me
Revealing all upon your way
Inside the burning fountain of timeOf time ...

A time so real as the one
We share each day
The same dimension
Just a heartbeat away
In every part of you
There's so much exploration
Out on the edge of space and time

Once there was a man of power
Had no care for human life
Then one day he saw his living lie
Growing all around him
The wheel of change had taken over
Found a love he never knew
Now he teaches children what is true
Gather all around him

What made him choose to turn away
What makes us change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

Running around in your confusion
From the cradle to the grave
Ain't got time to see the world go by
Where are you going
Always moving round in circles
Talking words that never end
Standing in the grip of madness
Why oh why
What are you saying

How can we choose to run away
How do we change our mind
See the perception turn around


There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

Realise this understanding
Move before it gets too late
Take this chance
Or life will pass you by
This is the only way
We must pull ourselves together
There's so much we must explain
Got to teach the children what is true
There is no other way

Why did we choose to turn away
Why did we change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

The incredible gift of life
Where the fire within burns bright
Every moment we live is true
And the spirit is all in you
