Two, three, four
Call of the wild, lightning to thunder
Who woulda thought it would pull you under
Watching your world move like a second hand
Two years gone, can't bring 'em back again

Send him my regards
Gonna tear your world apart
Girl, you turn me on
You're like the best laid plans got wrong
Sold your soul to the Hollywood harlots
Wouldn't give you half a chance
Because girl, you turn me on

Sing me a song, tell me how bad it is
Blew your mind all the way to Texas
Somebody shook the bowl you been swimmin' in
Shaken and stirred, now you've come back again

Send them regards
Gonna tear your world apart
Girl, you turn me on
You're like the best laid plans gone wrong
Sold your soul to the Hollywood harlots
Wouldn't give you half a chance
Because girl, you turn me on

Girl, you turn me on
You're like the best laid plans gone wrong
Sold your soul to the Hollywood harlots
Wouldn't give you half a chance
Because girl, you turn me on

Girl, you turn me on
Watch it, gonna get it
Watch it, gonna get it
Girl, you turn me on
Watch it, gonna get it
Watch it, gonna get it now
Girl, you turn me on
Watch it, gonna get it
Watch it, gonna get it
Girl, you turn me on

Shrinking Violet

We pick the ultra-violets
We get to wear the made up fantasy
We like to spin the bottle
Hogs on the road, you and me

You got the vice to pull you in
Watch the cobra shed his skin
You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet
You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet

You've got the hand in pocket
The hand that bites and feeds our family
I've got the magic potion
It's called the anaconda snake

Down go two fingers
Heard you like all the lead singers

You got the vice to pull you in
Watch the cobra shed his skin
You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet
You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet

Yeah
How many ways to fly
You're going for a ride
Tell me, how many ways to fly
You're going for it, you're going for it

You got the vice to pull you in
Watch the cobra shed his skin
You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet
You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet

Oh, you're a sexy violet, shrinking violet
Oh, you're a sexy violet, shrinking violet
Come on, you're a sexy violet, shrinking violet
Oh, you're a sexy violet, shrinking violet

Dreamtime

If I ever thought my whole world be torn apart
If I ever dreamed I was the lucky one
I wanna touch you, wanna reach you
It's stormin' all the time
The lonely one's alone again

There's no daylight comin'
Where did it go
Where did it go
And it seems
Seems like a hundred miles away

And the stars above
Are shining for real love
And the sun is coming through
For dreamtime

If I could've fixed it
Stormin' all the time
Used to be the king of the world
Now I'm thinkin' 'bout that little girl
And the hardest part
How many words that you can't say
But you would though
If you could go
Back again
Yeah

Now you're gone
How can anyone be so wrong
But it hurts too much
I'm just a lonely boy
For your touch

And the stars above
Are shining for real love
And the sun is coming through
For dreamtime

<REPEAT>

It's coming through
For dreamtime
It's coming through
For dreamtime
Dreamtime

Barbed Wire

Standin' by the window
Watchin' all the rain
Wonderin' where the wind blows
It's comin' round again

Thinkin' all is said and done
You've heard it all before
Too much worryin' 'bout the future
Ain't it funny how it goes

To lie on barbed wire
To live on the summer wind
Too late, too late to compromise
It's only lies in the end

Runnin' in a circle
Tomorrow said we'd have a chance
Memories like a mirror
When you're living in the past

To lie on barbed wire
To live on the summer wind
Too late, too late to compromise
It's only

To lie on barbed wire
To live on the summer wind
Too late, too late to compromise
It's only lies comin' round again

Comin' round again
Comin' round again

I'll Be There

Lonely child, Brush the soul to sleep
Lonely child, Come on, come on to the real thing, honey

Touch the fire. Put your hands on it, honey
I got the feelin' burnin' down to my feet
Lust is life. Cuts like a knife through you, honey
When the fire hits, there's nothing better to be

Lonely child, got your wasted heart
Love that's touched by the hand of God

I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
Put the hammer down, honey

Ah ah ah
Put your hammer down
I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there

Testify. I'll get you high on it, honey
I'll get you higher than your fantasy dream
Touch the fire. Now would you die for it, honey
The power will devour every man that you see
Lonely child, got your wasted heart
Love that's touched by the hand of God

<CHORUS>

It's all been said and done
Loneliness, breathin
Burn it up, burn it up
Burnin', burnin'
To the real thing, honey

Yeah, I'll be there
Child, I'll be there, be there
I'll be there, be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
Put the hammer down, hon

<CHORUS REPEAT>

California

Come on

Too much time spent in stormy weather
I didn't think it would be so cold
Our fire's burnin' now that we're together
It almost feels like I'm halfway home

Is that a sign up ahead
Like a star pointing to your bed
Keep your tired eyes open
Sparks flyin' through your head

Won'tcha take me back, back there
Take me back to California
Take me back to California
Yeah

Golden songs floatin' down the river
Got the gold shinin' in your hair
I wish this road could go forever
Not too long, babe, and I'll be there

Yeah
Is that a sign up ahead
Like a star pointing to your bed
Keep your tired eyes open
Sparks flyin' through your head

Won'tcha take me back, back there
Take me back to California
Take me back to California
Yeah yeah yeah

Won'tcha take me back, back there
Take me back to California
Take me back to California
Take me back to California

Won'tcha take me back, back there
Take me back to California
Take me back to California
Take me back to California

Cherries

Sittin' here thinking 'bout the soul that they call the one love
I just wanna stop the world because

Life's not a bowl o' cherries
Life's not a bowl o' cherries
Life's not a bowl o' cherries
Life's not a bowl o' love

I've been good to you
I've been bad
I've heard your excuses
And I don't give a damn

You say life's been so unkind
You know that you'll never let it go
You say life's been so unreal
You know that you'll never let it go
That you'll never let it go
That you'll never let it go

Sittin' here thinking 'bout the soul that they call the one love
I just wanna stop the world because

<CHORUS>

You say life's been so unkind
You know that you'll never let it go
You say life's been so unreal
You know that you'll never let it go
That you'll never let it go
That you'll never let it go

I've been good to you
I've been bad
I've heard your excuses
And I don't give a damn, damn, damn, damn

You say life's been so unkind
You know that you'll never let it go
You say life's been so unreal
You know that you'll never let it go
That you'll never let it go
That you'll never let it go
That you'll never let it go

Decide

Someday, somewhere
This life's neverending
Never thought you were pretending
Your dreams have died
Your hands are tied
The love you had
Is coming back for the last time

Day or night
Night into day
We've found the answer
But it slips away

Decide
Decide
Yeah

Anyone can see
That this is the end of
All of the love you once abandoned
Your dreams have died
Your hands are tied
The love you had
Is coming back for the last time

Daylight
Starting to fade
Tomorrow's coming
But we want today

Decide
Decide
It's your lovin' for the last ride

Decide
Be free
What you like is what you can't see

Just a little love
Just a little love

Big Lil' Thing

Dig it, it's not real
Someone's got your spinnin' your wheels
Cryin' songs to hell
Someone's got you ringin' your bell

I can't help it
'Cause you don't wanna talk about it
All your fears ring in
The back of your head
It's your big little thing
Big little thing

You don't wanna hear it
Baby, it's called reality check
Life is like a bird, life is like a bee
Stuck in the middle and you blame it on me

I can't help it
'Cause you don't wanna talk about it
All your fears ring in
The back of your head
It's your big little thing
Big little thing

Big little thing
Big little thing
Big little thing
Big little thing

Tell me why you won't give
You don't wanna hear it
Why oh why
Tell me why you won't give
You don't wanna hear it

Dig it, Dig it, Dig it

I can't help it
'Cause you don't wanna talk about it
All your fears ring in
The back of your head
It's your big little thing
Big little thing

Big little thing
Big little thing
Big little thing
Big little thing

It's Hard

Stoned in love is what you came for
Spinnin' wheels and burnin' lights from your candle
I'm outta my head, a bullet for your misery
It's a cold, hard world, that's the only one for me

They're gone now, The bad men
Their black hearts burnin' in the cold wind
The thrill of the night
The pouring rain
They lost and you win
It's your turn again

Jump on the bonfire
Jonesin' for what we had
So far you ain't lyin'
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard

Downtown, that's where the action is
Too much wine, too much song, and now you get your wish
There's something in the wind's gotcha burned out
Phantoms drawn like rats in the henhouse

<CHORUS>

Pockets of love
Pockets of love, love, love

You're climbin' the mountain and you go to the wall
You don't take nothin' when you got the soul
You rock in the mornin', in the night you roll
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard

<CHORUS>

Jump on the bonfire
Jonesin' for what we had
So far you ain't lyin'
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard

Bad Whiskey

When I woke up this mornin'
I promised it would end
To walk the straight and narrow
Now it's comin' round again

4 o'clock in the mornin'
To the break of day
In a Hollywood apartment
Two lost souls about to pay

Bad, bad whiskey
Please don't take my happy home
Say it again
Bad, bad whiskey
Please don't take my happy home
My home

When the moon is over
Runnin' 'cross the sky
That's the time I get looser babe
That's the time I wanna fly

It's a long way down
To the willow bend
It's a lonely world out there
When the bottle's your only friend

Bad, bad whiskey
Please don't take my happy home
Say it again, child
Bad, bad whiskey
Please don't take my happy home

Mama, let me go down easy
Mama, take me to my bed
Mama, let me lose myself
Got stars in my achin' head

Soul like a burnin' hand
Soul like a China doll
Soul got your hand in the wishin' well
And by God you're gonna crawl

Bad, bad whiskey
Please don't take my happy home
Bad, bad whiskey
Please don't take my happy home
