Lyrics:

SEND ME AN ANGEL

Everynight, I hit the streets
All alone burnin’ with the need
Broken dreams and
An empty heart have got me
I need a lover with a lot of heart
It’s so hard when you’re in the dark
And no one’s there
To help you find your way

I keep running in the night
Searchin’ for the light
Cryin’ for someone to rescue me

Wont you send me, send me an angel
Send me, send me an angel
Send me an angel tonight, tonight

Keep lookin’ but I can't see
Listen hard but I don’t believe
Is this the way it really has to be?
Say you’re in or count me out
I can’t live without all this doubt
Save my life with a single word

And I’m out here in the dark
I don’t know where to start
Begging for my feelings to be heard

CROSSFIRE

You can have her, I don’t want her
I don’t want you around
You have taken all the feelings
And run them in the ground

All your lyin’, you’ve been tryin’
To leave me in the cold
First you want him, then you want me
The story’s gettin’ old

I’m caught up in a crossfire
Oh, don’t you know that
You’re a live wire
You got me feeling baby
Like I’m on fire
What’s a lonely man to do?

Put another slug in the chamber
You play roulette with love
Take your chances with danger dances
You’ll pay for it with blood

You’ve got me in your sights
There’s nothing I can do
Maybe in the dead of night
I can slip away from you

HEART’S GROWN COLD

Oh, go out and have your habit
You’re the one who’s takin’ it
You’re the one who’s fakin’ it
You’re the one
Who’s heart’s grown cold

Come down and tell me that it’s better
You’re the one who’s using it
You’re the one who’s losing it
You’re the one who’s got no soul
You’re the one
Who’s heart’s grown cold

I touch your lips with my fingertips
I hand on every breath you take
You don’t need me like I need you
You have your heartaches tonight
Everyday, I just hope and pray
I just hope that you still care
That you still have your dreams, oh

Baby, honey let me tell you that
Your heart’s grown cold
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

WE'RE GOIN’ DOWN

Feelin’ low down and I’m drug out
I’m feelin’ hungry again
I need a taste of your sweet lovin’
I don’t think it’s a sin
I don’t need a lot of lovin’
I don’t need a lot of time
I don’t need much to speak of
Let me love you won't you be mine

It’s getting harder by the minute
I’ve been away too long
It’s after hours, you’ve got the power
To keep me comin’ on strong

I don’t need a lot of lovin’
I don’t need a lot of time
I don’t need much to speak of
Let me love you won’t you be mine

We’re going down
We’re going down, to dine at the Y
We’re going down, we’re going down

Yeah, did you like it?
You didn’t fight it
I know it wasn’t a sin
You got the power, it’s after hours
I think I’m hungry again

TEENAGE IDOL

A lonely boy in the city
Standing tall up to his blue jean
Jacket and eyes of pity
He’s got a dream, now he told his Papa
”Don’t you worry Daddy
I’ll be back to show you
The life I’ve made”
With a tear falling from his eyes
He knew what he wanted to be

Oh, he wants to be, yes, he’s got to be
Oh, he’d love to be a teenage idol

Standing in his hometown
Waiting for the bus that will take him
Farther than he’s ever been
Packed his bags and
Kissed his sweetheart
”Don't you worry honey
I’ll be back to show you
What a life I made”
With a tear falling from her eyes
She knew that he’d love to be

Oh, he wants to be, yes, he’s got to be
Oh, he’d love to be a teenage idol
Oh, if he could see
His name on the marquee
He’d live so happily, as a teenage idol

He’s in another city
Standing tall up to his satin
Jacket and eyes of pity
He’s got it all except for his Papa
”Don’t you worry, Daddy
I’ve shown them
What a pretty life I’ve made
Even though I’ll miss you badly
You know I always wanted to be”

Oh, I want to be, yes, I’ve got to be
Oh, I’d love to be a teenage idol
Yes, I love to see
My name on the marquee
Oh, I’d want to be, yes, I got to be
Oh, I’d love to be a teenage idol

GOIN’ IN CIRCLES

I’ve laid in bed alone most every night
I’m havin’ dreams of you
Been hearin’ things about you
I don’t wanna know
Tell me woman it ain’t true

You got me goin’ in circles
I’m runnin’ all around
You got me goin’ in circles
Round and round and up and down

You say forever
I think it’s now or never
My heart is in your hand
Drop it on the floor
Step on it once more
You’re so hard to understand

You got me goin’ in circles
I’m runnin’ all around
You got me goin’ in circles
I’m runnin’ all around
You got me runnin’ in circles
Round and round and up and down

RUN FOR COVER

Winter wind is blowin’ in
Makin’ me feel low, so low
Even though the fire’s in my heart
It doesn’t warm the soul
We had it all but it wasn’t enough
You played a dangerous game
You made your move
Now you get to choose
Between me and the pain

You run for cover
You run with another
Run for cover, from me, yes you do

Can’t believe you got a heart of stone
It’s such a cold surprise
Don’t try and hide
Behind those empty words
It’s right there in your eyes
Said you wanted to name the dance
To face the word on your own
I ain’t givin’ you a second chance
You gotta dance alone

Now you’ve had your final dance
Go face the world on your own
I ain’t givin’ you a second chance
Now you’re all alone

WHITE MAN’S LAND

I am a savage, I’m always on the run
Four wheels my animal
This guitar is my gun
I never eat and I never sleep
Oh, I got to move

Seems everywhere I stand
I’m always on white man’s land

The tax man is at your door
You’re caught up in the race
You’re so down you need a ticket
For a trip to outer space
You wanna run, you wanna hide
This ain’t what you planned

If you are a woman or a man
Your life is nothin’ in his hands
Seems that everywhere I stand
I’m always on white man’s land, oh yes

Can you remember when you've
Had so much fun ?
Do you feel you’re always
At the wrong end of a gun ?
You know that it’s a bit too late
To start your life again

And if you are a woman or a man
Your life is nothin’ in his hands
Seems that everywhere I stand
I’m always on this white man’s land
Oh, your standin’ on it

SAIL AWAY

So far, far away
I traveled cross this world today
I’m sailin’ on
Sailin’ on, I’ll sail away
As the spotlight falls around me
You know I’m drowin’ in this life
And through it all, I hold onto you
Into the sunset, my heart is true
I’m movin’ on, for one last song
I’m sailin’ on, I’ll sail away

Sailin’ on, sailin’ on, I'll say away

A time to leave, a place to see
‘Cause in my soul, I’m a ramblin’ free
And through it all, I hold onto you
Into the sunset, my heart is true
I’m movin’ on, for one last song
I’m sailin’ on, I'll sail away

DRIVIN’ FOOL

Yeah, come on, come on, come on
Well, I’m a drivin’ fool
Got my foot on the gas
Look out mister, I’m gonna pass
Ninety miles an hour and I’m all alone
The wind’s in my face
And I’m headed for home
Up from the streets
In the heat of the night
Lookin’ for a lover
Ain’t lookin’ for no fight
Don’t want no trouble, cause any harm
Just want a pretty girl
Hangin’ on my arm

Ain’t no road too fast
Ain’t no road too slow
Fill me up with the super
Show me which way to go
I’m a drivin’ fool, drivin’ fool
Drivin’ fool, drivin’ fool

Kickin’ up the dirt and gravel
Faster than you ever seen
Harder than the road I travel
This is a bitchin’ machine
I won’t take no excuses
Don’t want to hear no phony lines
Can’t stand a useless muther
Wastin’ my precious time

It’s early in the morning
And I left her bed
Gimme more, gimme more
Is ringin’ in my head
The highway’s callin’
And I got to move
I don’t feel bad ‘cause
It happens to you
I really don't know where I’m goin’
This kind of life is tippin’ the scale
The marker on my dipstick
Says I’m cool
Good-God almighty, I’m a drivin’ fool

Drivin’ fool, drivin’ fool
