World Like That
01:58

god bless all the little liars
starting their fires
in the sky
and got bless all the little criminals
singing their hymnals
about what is right
and what if all the books were to burn
what would we learn
from the ashes
and what if all the roses were dead
would that be the end
to all the romantics
and you said
that you can’t
live in a world like that
and you said
that you can’t
live in a world like that

Spider

If you saw me out
On the street
Would you think me a fool
Could you see through my painted face
That I’m feeling blue
‘cause lately I’ve been wonderin’
mostly about you
I can’t keep on searchin’
For what I’m going to do
Are you in or are you out
Don’t leave me hanging
Like some kind of spider
Close your eyes
And shut your mouth
I don’t want to know
If you're sittin’ beside her
‘cause lately I’ve been wonderin’
mostly about you
I can’t keep on searchin’
For what I’m going to do
When there is no specification
I can’t keep waiting
On you
And meanwhile
My imagination
Just keeps on walking
All over the truth
Are you in or are you out
Don’t leave me hanging
Like some kind of spider
Close your eyes
And shut your mouth
I don’t want to know
If you're sittin’ beside her
When there is no specification
I can’t keep waiting
On you
||: Don’t stop
It takes a long time
To get right
To get right :||

Smoke Rings
03:28
|
|
||
Blowing smoke rings
out by the train tacks
Gotta get back before supper time
Sun is on our neck
And the devil is on our heels
But we don’t seem to mind
Summer days and our crazy ways
Everything is a scheme
Just to pass the time
If you’re not getting
Lucky in Kentucky
Youre no friend of mine
Mamas holding cigarettes
with their babies on their laps
And daddies are at the bar
Nuns kicking of their shoes
Dancing to the grassy blues
of dark men with guitars
the good lord must have been turned around
every time the sinners of this town
poured a cup of whiskey or of wine
it was a summer of chokin’ smoke
mama was gone and daddy was broke
Billy Joel done stole this heart of mine
In the summer time
But on Sunday we were in our pews
in our hats and our shiny shoes
crossing our fingers singing hymns of heaven on high
and the preacher sang about forgiveness
and how the good lord is always with us
he sees every sin you try to hide
the good lord must have been turned around
every time the sinners of this town
poured a cup of whiskey or of wine
it was a summer of chokin’ smoke
mama was gone and daddy was broke
Billy Joel done stole this heart of mine
In the summer time

Dangerous
02:52
|
|
||
She comes into the picture
Just to spin her web
Around your head
Around your head
She mystifies with big green eyes
You’d think you’ve died
And gone to heaven
And gone to heaven
Don’t let her lose you
In the laundry of her life
You think she is happy
But she is just playing nice
And now there she goes
And she knows
Just enough to be dangerous
Dangerous
And she can
Turn the charm
Up real fast
She'll take your arm
And twist it round your back
She is a one-woman heart attack
Your big mistake
Was when you gave a key
So she could sleep
When you are not there
When you are not there
And like a fool
You buy her jewels and all these fancy shoes
She'll never wear
She'll never wear
||: You write her letters
Using dictionary words
And all the while
She has got your gold card in her purse
(2x second time)
And now there she goes
And she knows
Just enough to be dangerous
Dangerous :||

Bright Lights
01:06
|
|
||
bright lights
they don’t blind me
fast cars
don’t excite me
if you shoot me down
my heart will still beat and
I’ll get up on my own two feet
And I’ll walk right out of this town

Funny Man
03:48
|
|
||
Don’t make me beg
Don’t make me beg for your kiss
Don’t make me wait for your lips
To brush against mine
To brush mine against mine again
You make me laugh
You make me laugh when its not a joke
The situation's serious
And here I’m laughin’
And here I’m laughin’ with you
Oh but by the end of the day
I want so bad
to come home to my funny man
Oh but by the end of the day
I want so bad
to come home to my funny man
You walk with me
You walk with me but then you trip
You make it like you meant to slip
And now I’m cracking
Cracking up at you
Oh but by the end of the day
I want so bad
to come home to my funny man
Oh but by the end of the day
I want so bad
to come home to my funny man
And you can keep your money
And you can keep your pride
It’s the man that is funny
That I want by my side
And you can keep your money
And you can keep your pride
It’s the man that is funny
That I want by my side
Don’t make me beg
Don’t make me bed for your kiss
Don’t make me wait for your lips
To brush against mine
To brush mine against mine again
Oh but by the end of the day
I want so bad
to come home to my funny man
Oh but by the end of the day
I want so bad
to come home to my funny man

Like They Were Before
01:49
|
|
||
you said
that there was nothing to do
you said
that you had nothing to prove
you talk
of the desert and blue skies
so how the hell
am I supposed to know what is on your mind
when you don’t tell me anything anymore
baby I know things aren’t like they were before
you walk
in your bathrobe round the house all day
and every night
we're laying side by side and you’re wide awake
and I don’t know
just what to say or what to do
all I know
is that I want to kick the humdrum out of you
you don’t tell me anything anymore
say that everything we do is a bore
baby I know that one thing's for sure
things aren’t like the way they weren’t before

I Am Right Here
02:10
|
|
||
how many nights
must you search for yourself
til you find
that yourself is now somebody else
and how many days
must you waste in the sun
waiting for that special someone
when I am right here
standing clear in your view
oh if you only knew
exactly how I felt about you
then maybe you’d see
finally
that I’m the piece that is missing
I’m the piece that is missing
People waste their time
Trying to find what is right
When sometimes what is right
Is right in front of you
And when I look at you
I see something similar to
What I see when I look in the mirror
when I am right here
standing clear in your view
oh if you only knew
exactly how I felt about you
then maybe you’d see
finally
that I’m the piece that is missing
I’m the piece that is missing

Like Flying
01:21
|
|
||
what if I was
out of control
what if I let
let myself go
what if I change
all in my ways
and what if it led
to better days
would it be like flying
would it be like home
would it be like wanting
things I don’t know
would it be like needing
things I don’t have
would that be so wrong
if it weren’t so bad

The Gambler
03:04
|
|
||
he lives life
by the dice
he feels right
with cards in his hand
and every day
fades away
he is a stray
who travels the land
he is a high roller
with a chip on his shoulder
his only prayer
is not to lose
he is a high roller
every day he is getting older
but he wouldn’t do it over
if he could choose
he thinks game
takes away
all the pain
there has every been
with every roll
he doesn’t know
he loses soul
and falls again
he is a high roller
with a chip on his shoulder
his only prayer
is not to lose
he is a high roller
every day he is getting older
but he wouldn’t do it over
if he could choose

Nick of Time
00:53
|
|
||
you can pull yourself together
if you’d only try
you can control stormy weather
in the dead of night
if you change your mind
you can change your life
you can turn in all around
in the nick of time

She Don't Know You
03:01
|
|
||
and I’m watching you
fall into her
and I’m watching you
fall into her
and I’m watching you
fall into her
and there is nothing I can do
there is nothing I can do
there is nothing I can do
there is nothing I can do
‘cause she don’t know you
she don’t know you
she don’t know you like I do
‘cause she don’t know you
she don’t know you
she don’t know you like I do
first she'll bait you
then she'll take you
any sick way that she wants to
‘cause she don’t know you
she don’t know you like I do
she wont miss you
she wont kiss you
she wont wish that she were with you
‘cause she don’t know you
she don’t know you like I do
‘cause she don’t know you
she don’t know you
she don’t know you like I do
‘cause she don’t know you
she don’t know you
she don’t know you like I do

Let Me Down Easy
01:27
|
|
||
would you let me down easy
if you are gonna disappoint me
would you do it sweetly
would you let me down gently
instead of turning around
and hurting me

Miss Those Lips
02:58
|
|
||
would you give me another chance
if I asked for one more
would you let me have another try
if I screamed and cried
and threw myself upon the floor
and would you listen to my side
would you let me speak my mind
for a moment
and would you lest me just explain
how far I came
how far I came
since the last time that I saw you
(chorus)
I miss those lips
And I want them back
And oh that kiss
I want it back to
Now lay me down
On a bed again
This time
I’m giving all myself to you
I was young
I was having fun
Oh when you came my way
I’m never good at being serious
How I should have known
Oh that I would run away
But know I am paying for the time
I am paying for what was lost in the fire
And all that I cans say is that I’m sorry
And tell you next time I’ll try harder
(chorus)
And I know that it might be
A little too late
But darlin’
I’m asking, no begging
You to wait
All I need is one more try
Another try to make things right
Just give me this and I promise
To never let you down
(chorus)

Like A Baby
00:52
|
|
||
and just like a baby
you were crawling
on your hands and knees
please somebody save me
was what you were hollerin’
what was I supposed to do
it is no like I couldn’t hear you
what was I supposed to say
when you look at me that way

Gypsy Heart
00:55
|
|
||
my gypsy heart’s been acting up
and I don’t think there is a cure
its been this way for several days
and one thing I know is for sure
that the gyspy heart
is the kind of heart
you don’t want to fall for
‘cause if you do
god bless your sould
‘cause it will keep you wanting more
|

Must I Always
01:23
|
|
||
if you feel
something strong
comin’ on
why don’t you just go to bed
and if you see
something strange
come your way
why don’t you cover your head
or must I always
be saving you
from yourself
must I always
be playing
someone else
you know that its wrong
to lean on someone
the way you lean on me
I want you to know
That I wont always be there
To be what you need
If you know
That you’ll be
Feelin’ blue
Would you just not just pick up the phone
And if you know
That you can’t sleep
Would you please
Deal with it on your own
or must I always
be saving you
from yourself
must I always
be playing
someone else
you know that its wrong
to lean on someone
the way you lean on me
I want you to know
That I wont always be there
To be what you need
