They say that no man is an island
And good things come
To those who wait
But the things I hear are there
Just to remind me
Every dog will have his day
The spirits they intoxicate me
I watched them infiltrate my soul
They try to say it's too late for me
Tell my guns I'm coming home
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Tell my maker he can wait
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven
Heading back to Santa Fe
It's judgement day in Santa Fe
Once I was promised absolution
There's only one solution for my sins
You gotta face your ghosts and
Know with no illusions
That only one of you
Is going home again
And I blame this world
For making a good man evil
It's this world that can
Drive a Good man mad
And it's this world that turns
A killer into a hero
Well I blame this world for
Making a good man bad
Now
I ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgement day in Santa Fe
So I save a prayer
For when I need it most
To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
And sign it from
A sinner with no name
When I meet my maker
Will He close the book
For the hearts I broke
And the lives I took
Will he walk away
'Cause my soul's
Too late to save
Now I ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgement day in Santa Fe
Dear Lord, Jesus, Buddah, Allah or can I just call you Joe
I've got a lot of things to tell you and some things I gotta know
I'm tired of hearing talk about this world's about to end
If we can die together then can't we all be friends
I gotta know Hey, I gotta know
So Mister can you tell me, gotta know
Baby can you tell me, gotta know
Whoa oh oh I gotta know
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I gotta know
Baby can you help me, gotta know
I gotta know
Did you ever feel like you were drowning
Did you ever feel betrayed by a kiss
Did you ever feel like you needed somebody
Would you feel alone in a world like this
Did you ever feel like you needed shelter
Did you ever laugh when you wanted to cry
Did you ever dream about evolution
Don't you ever feel like your living a lie
Oh, Whoa, too many children grow up blind to the truth
I say, Oh Oh, Oh, Oh, say a prayer for me
I'll save a prayer for you
Did you ever feel like you were helpless
Did you ever feel like an open wound
Did you ever feel that there ain't no forgiveness
Did you ever feel that close to the truth
Oh Whoa, the world closed their eyes on the blinding truth
I say, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh , say a prayer for me,
And I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer.... for you, for you, for you
I'll save a prayer
Did you ever feel like you need shelter
Did you ever feel like you lived in a flood
Did you ever feel a lust for survival
Did you ever feel, feel, feel
The world couldn't take me from getting dirty
There's too many hearts that haven't found a home
This train's on the tracks and the world's on my back
Save a prayer for me and I'll save one for you
No one will know , but it's hard to explain
Why too many soul's are feeling so alone
You've got to hold on if it's all you can do
Save a prayer for me,
I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer.... for you, for you, for you
I never went to college
I don't have a degree
Let's say I went to night school
I learned all I know on the streets
I wasn't born a rich man
I ain't got no pedigree
The sweat on this old collar
That's my Ph.D.
It comes down to this
I wouldn't exist
Without you it ain't worth the grind
I'd fight for one kiss
On a night like this
You make me feel I could fly, like
I could save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Maybe I could save the world
I got to confess
Sometimes I'm a mess
And sometimes I step out of line
Like this old tattoo
I ain't shiny or new
With you by my side nothing matters
I can save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Maybe I can save the world
They can say it's blind love
But it's a fool who don't believe
That I'd fly all the way to the moon
Just to walk you down your street
I can save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Our love is even stronger
Than god hoped it could be
Baby, all it takes is
Just a little faith in me
To feel like
I can save the world
I can save the world
There's no Santa Claus
It was all a lie
No man in the moon
Just a big light in the sky
I hear Disneyland
Might lose Mickey Mouse
In some giant hostile corporate shake-up
Tell me it's a nightmare
Please wake me up
(Say it isn't so)
I found a book of matches
From someplace we've never been
How come you hang the phone up
The minute I walk in
Last night I had this dream
That I was losing you
I woke up in a cold sweat shaking
Rescue me my heart is breaking
Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Say it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
They
did it all with strings
Say everything's alright (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so
Superman don't fly
Elvis Presley died
They deep fried the king
Like some tacky cheesy bathing beauty
Dancing on the beach in a bad b-movie
Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Say it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say everything's alright (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on me)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on you)
Get me through the night (we'll make it through)
Make everything alright (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so..
Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Say it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say everything's alright (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on me)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on you)
Get me through the night (we'll make it through)
Make everything alright (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so
Riding high, then shot down
I load my guns to fire another round
I look deep into your eyes
And can't run there's nowhere left to hide
Don't stop, no it's much too late
When the night comes
I
can't wait
Oh I live, love to loose control
It makes me crazy
I want to let you know
Oh, no, I don't want to fall
Oh, oh, can't you hear me calling
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I'm the one
When I'm next to you, next to you
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me
I got to get to you, get to you, get to you
There's a thrill, in the chase
We won't lose when we meet face to lace
Love, games a means without and end
I go down but I'll be back again
Thru' the night with no retreat
When your with me in my sleep
Oh, no, I don't want to fall
Oh, oh, can't you hear me calling
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I'm the one
When I'm next to you, next to you
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me
I got to get to you, get to you, get to you...
I can see you
I feel you every night
I need you
But I'm only dreaming
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I'm the one
When I'm next to you, next to you
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me
I got to
get to you, get to you, get to you...
What
more can I do, there's nothing I haven't tried
Still it's so hard for her to notice
I've tried hard to be straight
There's
nothing left I can say If only she would look my way
She don't know me, she don't know
She don't see me, she don't care
She can't hear me, can't hear
Can not help me, she don't want
She don't want me, like I want her
Like I want her, I gotta tell her
Got to tell her, that I love her
That I love her
She doesn't even know my name
I dream of when she'll be mine
I dream of crossing that line
And holding her so tender
Dreaming it could come true
So many things I would do
If
only you'd give me a chance
She don't know me, she don't know
She don't see me, she don't care
She can't hear me, she can't hear
Can not help me, she don't want
She don't want me, like I want her
Like I want her, I gotta tell her
Got to tell her, that I love her
That I love her
She doesn't even know my name
She
won't let me buy her jewelry
She don't want things that she can keep
She wears wildflowers in her hair
Then throws them in the sea
She's the beginning and the end of me
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
I still don't know what to call her
She says that words don't mean a thing
She changes her name every day
And lies all the time
I feel lucky to call her mine
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
She's anything in the world
That you cannot explain
But when she throws me a smile
It's fire in the rain
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
'Cause she's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
She's a mystery
There's no defense
It's innocence
But she won't let you see
'Cause she's a mystery
Would you be content to see me crying
After all those silly games you put me through
After all I've done for you you're lying
Wouldn't it be nice to tell the truth
Didn't somebody somewhere say
You're heading for a fall I gave you everything
Now here's the curtain call
Shot through the heart as I lay there alone
In the dark through the heart It's all part of the game that we call love
Now you've come back here to say you're sorry
But I don't know just who you're talking to
It could be the man I used to be, girl
But I've grown up and now I'm over you
Standing there like a livewire
With nowhere left to turn
You were gonna set the world on fire
When will you ever learn?
Shot
through the hearty as I lay there alone In the dark through the heart
It's all part of the game that we call love
Didn't somebody somewhere say
You're heading for a fall I gave you everything
Now here's the curtain call
Now I'm shot... Baby does what baby please
And baby must have what she sees
But not this time, the tables turned
Baby, you just got burned
After
the smoke clears
When it's down to you and I
When the sun appears
And there's nothing left but goodbyes
We'll just turn and walk away
How could we let it end like this
Just turn and walk away
Should we seal it with a kiss
It's too late
Now you're out and on the run
It's too late
Held up in love without a gun
Silent night
We hold up our candle light
Silent night
The night our love died
No words to say
And we're both too tired to fight
Just hold me close and don't let go...
It was all so simple when
You were to be queen and I'd be your king
I guess those dreams got lost
Cause baby you're still you and I'm still me
Now letting go
It's always the hardest part to fight
When we both know
We're just two more victims of the night
It's too late
Too late to wonder why
Much too late
To save a love that's died
Silent night
We hold up our candle light
Silent night
The night our love died
No words to say
Now we're both too tired to fight
Just hold me close and don't let go
Just hold me close and don't let me go
After the smoke cleared
It was down to you and I
When the sun appeared
There was nothing left but goodbyes...
Silent night
You can read it in the papers
In some places it comes in thirty-two flavours
But you wouldn't tell no one
Your favourite if you could
From the White House to the alleys
From the president down to Long Tall Sally
Can't live with it but
You'll die without it, yes you would
Senorita's in the kitchen
She's a fistful of dynamite
You call 911 but you
Can't stop the fun tonight, it's alright
You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's something that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
Because love is a social disease
Where you look you can find it
Try to run but you're always behind it
So you play hide and seek like a blind kid
Till you're caught, yeah you're caught
So you'll say that you had some
But they took it and held it for ransom
Were they tall, dark, skinny or
Handsome, you won't talk
So you telephone your doctor
Just to see what pill to take
You know there's no prescription
Gonna wipe this one away
You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's something that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
Because love is a social disease
So full of high grade octane
She could run the bullet train on 38 double d's
Now you know for sure, you know the cure
To make a blind man see
You
can't start a fire without a spark
But there's something that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
Because love is a social disease
Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
Hey man, I'm alive
I'm taking each day a night at a time
I'm feeling like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
Hey
my name is Jim
Where did I go wrong
My life's a bargain basement
All the good shits gone
I just can't hold a job
Where do I belong
Been sleeping in my car
My dreams moved on
My name is Billie Jean
My
love's been bought and sold
I'm only 16 I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went and
Took my innocence away
The street life ain't much better
But at least I'm getting paid
Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey man, I'm alive
I'm taking each day a night at a time
Yeah I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey man
I've got to live my life
Like I ain't got nothing
But this roll of the dice
I'm feeling like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
Now I can't say my name
Or tell you where I am
I wanna blow myself away
But I don't know if I can
I wish that I could be
In someother time and place
With some-one else's soul
And some-one else's face
Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey man, I'm alive
I'm taking each day a night at a time
Yeah I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey man,
I've got to live my life
I'm gonna pick uppon the pieces
And what was left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
Someday I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet
I'll be doing alright
It may not be tomorrow
Baby that's OK
I ain't going down
Gonna find a way...
Hey man, I'm alive
I'm taking each day a night at a time
Yeah I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey man
I've got to live my life
Like I ain't got nothing
But this roll of the dice
I'm feeling like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
I'm feeling like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
Happiness,
it's been no friend to me
But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be
Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy
But I almost lost my faith when I hit reality
I don't need no Guru
To tell me what to do
When your feeling like a headline
On yesterday's news
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain
When I feel I'm danglin' from a hang-man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel alright
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on
Loneliness has found a home in me
My suitcase and guitar are my only family
I've tried to need someone like they needed me
I opened up my heart but all I did was bleed
I don't need no lover just to get screwed
They don't make a bandage that's going to cover my bruise
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain
When I feel I'm danglin' from a hang-man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel alright
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on
Pull me under (help I'm falling)
Run through my veins (night is calling)
Lost to a place (feels like I'm flying)
Where I feel no pain (Christ I'm dying)
Be the pillow under my head,
Give cover to me
When I'm in my bed
Take me higher than I've ever been
Take me down and back again
Come to me, be my disguise
Open your coat, let me crawl inside
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain
When I feel I'm danglin' from a hang-man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel alright
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on
I
lost all faith in my God
In his religion too
I told the angels they could sing their songs
To someone new
I lost all trust in my friends
I watched my heart turn to stone
I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone
Tonight I'll dust myself off
Tonight I'll suck my gut in
I'll face the night and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in
And I had lost touch with reason
I watched life criticise the truth
Been waiting for a miracle
I know you have too
Though I know I won't win
I'll take this one on the chin
We'll raise a toast and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in
If I don't believe in Jesus
How can I believe the Pope?
If I don't believe in heroin
How can I believe in dope?
If there's nothing but survival
How can I believe in sin?
In a world that gives you nothing
We need something to believe in
If
I don't believe in Jesus
How can I believe the Pope?
If I don't believe in heroin
How can I believe in dope?
If there's nothing but survival
How can I believe in sin?
In a world that gives you nothing
I need something to believe in
Staring At Your Window With A Suitcase In My Hand
You
think you know me
Just because you know my name
You think you see me
'Cause you've seen every line on my face
You want to want me
Just beacause I say that I want you
But does it matter
If anything I'm saying is the truth
You need somebody
Somebody to hold on to
But this ain't the movies And we ain't heroes
Staring at your window
With a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by
And the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin'
But my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window
With a suitcase in my hand
I said I want you
But when we woke up one of us was crying
You rolled over
And all you said was - "Man, I think I'm dying"
Our song is over
This band of gold has been feeling like a noose
You place your bets
'Cause no one thinks they'll lose
Staring at your window
With a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by
And the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin'
But my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window...
The light of love can blind you
'Til you cover up your eyes
And you try to find the reason
Not to say goodbye
It's the curse of every sailor
Standing on dry land
Staring at your window
With a suitcase in my hand
The night is fading
Like my old tattoo
A heart and a dagger
That says "Forever"
Staring at your window
With a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by
And the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin'
But my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window
With a suitcase in my hand
So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more that just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you want to know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun
In this world tonight
And when you spit, you better mean it
You got to make 'em all believe it
If you're gonna be the one
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
So you want to be the big time
Some people have to drag you down
There's no living in the backseat
If you're gonna drive through town
And when you pray for independence
Boy, you better stand your ground
You got to give it all you got now
Or you might get shot down
Fight hard until the battle is won
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
Well, you know that I been through it
I got the scars to prove it
Fight hard and the
Battle is yours
Stick to your gun
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will course you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
Stick to your guns
Hey
mister can you tell me
What this world's about
It might just help me out
I used to be a dreamer
But my dreams have burned
You know how luck can turn
Sometimes it's hard to find a friendly face
Feel like a stranger to the human race
It's such a lonely, lonely place
I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin'
But you can't hear a sound
'Cause midnight rain is comin' down
I'm just a stranger, a stranger in this town
Everybody loves a winner
Till the winners lose
And then it's front page news
Nobody loves a loser
When you're down and out
You know there ain't no doubt
I'm just a victim of circumstance
Please mister give me a helping hand
Brother won't you understand
I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin'
But you can't hear a sound
'Cause midnight rain is comin' down
I'm just a stranger, a stranger in this town
I'm just a victim of circumstance
Please mister give me a helping hand
Brother won't you understand
I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin'
But you can't hear a sound
'Cause midnight rain is comin' down
I'm just a stranger, a stranger in this town
I mean no danger, I'm a stranger, I'm a stranger
I'm a stranger in this town...
I mean no danger, I'm a stranger...
I'm just a stranger in this town
