RIDE WITH THE IDOL
Try to remember those ancient evenings When all we had was just enough. Now the pretender knows why the king is screaming. The grief was finally just too much. I'm going to ride with the idol Like a creature on display, Tied to the bottom of a cage. Ride with the idol, But it won't turn out the same. I know they won't blow out the flame. Over my shoulder, I know they're waiting. Their dirty hands are everywhere. And as they get closer all the pretense is fading. The face beneath the skin is bare. So now I ride with the idol Like a creature on display, Tied to the bottom of a cage, oh yeah. Ride with the idol, But it won't turn out the same. I know they won't blow out the flame. I can never learn to say no. Won't they ever let me go? [Guitar Interlude] I'm going to ride with the idol Like a creature on display, Tied to the bottom of a cage. Oh yeah, yeah. Ride with the idol, But it won't turn out the same. I know they won't blow out the flame. Ride with the idol, Like a creature on display, Tied to the bottom of a cage. Oh yeah, yeah. Ride with the idol, But it won't turn out the same. I know they won't blow out the flame (fade)
EDGE OF A BROKEN HEART
I can't believe I could've been so blind, But love is strange. I thought about it for a long, long time, But the truth remains. I don't need another lonely night to dry my tears. The answer's plain as black and white, And I can see the picture very clear. I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart. I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl. I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart. Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye? It isn't like you never had the chance To change your tune. Did you think that I'm a dime a dance? Well the dance is through. I've been doin' things your way too long, But baby that's over. It won't be easy, but I've gotta be strong, And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder. I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart. I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl. I've been livin' on the edge of a broken heart. Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye? I'll find someone else who's nothing like you. Two can play the game as well, And you're gonna be sorry, baby, When it's over! [Guitar Interlude] I've been doin' things your way too long, But baby that's over. It won't be easy but I've gotta be strong, And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder. [Chorus Out]
CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
Wise men say only fools rush in. But I can't help falling in love with you. Shall I stay? Would it be a sin? If I, I can't help falling in love with you. Like a river flows, surely to the sea, Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be. Take my hand, take my whole life too. For I, I can't help falling in love with you. Like a river flows, surely to the sea, Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be. Take my hand; take my whole life too. For I, I can't help falling in love with you. No I, I can't help falling in love with you.
SO INTO YOU
When you walked into the room, There was voodoo in the vibes. I was captured by your style, But I could not catch your eyes. Now I stand here helplessly, Hoping you'll get into me. I am so into you I can't think of nothing else. I am so into you I can't think of nothing else. Thinking how it's going to be Whenever you get into me. It's gonna be good, don't you know, From your head to your toe. Gonna love you all over, Over and over. I am so into you. Me into you, you into me, me into you. I am so into you I can't get to nothing else. I am so into you I can't get to nothing else. Thinking how it's going to be Whenever you get into me. C'mon baby, drivin' me crazy, I'm so into you, Love all the things you do.
TEACHER I NEED YOU
I was sitting in the classroom, Trying to look intelligent In case the teacher looked at me. She was long and she was lean. She's a middle-aged dream, And that lady means the whole world to me. It's a natural achievement, Conquering my homework With her image pounding in my brain. She's an inspiration For my graduation, And she helps to keep the classroom sane. Oh teacher I need you, Like a little child. You got something in you To drive a schoolboy wild. You give me education In the lovesick blues. Help me get straight come out and say, Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, Teacher I need you. I have to write a letter, Tell about my feelings, Just to let her know the scene. Focus my attention On some further education In connection with the birds and the bees. So I'm sitting in the classroom. I'm looking like a zombie. I'm waiting for the bell to ring. I've got John Wayne stances. I've got Erroll Flynn advances, And it doesn't mean a doggone thing.
I'M NEVER GONNA FALL IN LOVE AGAIN
I've been in love so many times. I thought I knew the score, But now you've treated me so wrong. I can't take any more. And it looks like I'm never gonna fall in love again. All those things I heard about you, I thought they were only lies, But when I caught you in his arms, I just broke down and cried. And it looks like I'm never gonna fall in love again. Fall in love. I'm never gonna fall in love, Fall in love again. I gave my heart so easily. I cast aside my pride, But when you fell for someone else, baby, I broke up all inside. And it looks like I'm never gonna fall in love again. That's why I'm singing, Fall in love, I'm never gonna fall in love. Please don't make me Fall in love again!
BEAUTIFUL
You've got to get up every morning With a smile on your face And show the world All the love in your heart. Then people gonna treat you better. You're gonna find, yes you will, That you're beautiful as you feel. Waiting at the station with the workday wind a blowin', I've got nothing to do but watch the passers by. Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing,' And they don't see it showing. Why do I? [Chorus] I have often asked myself The reason for the sadness In a world where tears are just a lullaby. And if there's any answer, Maybe love can end the madness. Maybe not, oh, but we can only try. [Chorus Out]
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
I thought it was love That hurt so bad, But all of this time I was a fool being had. Now it's the last stop for you, baby, On my gravy train. Well, I don't understand How I could be so short of memory, How I could just leave my pride in the rain. No more thunder and lightning. Nobody's gonna wrap me 'round their finger. No more thunder and lightning. Ain't gonna let you treat me like a prisoner. You played with my mind, Baby, much too long. You played with my head Until all feelin' was gone. Now I'm out of patience and money, And my heart is numb. You kept me in the dark, But now I finally see some daylight. I've got a chance. I'm gonna run, baby, run. No more thunder and lightning. Nobody's gonna wrap me 'round their finger. No more thunder and lightning. Ain't gonna let you treat me like a prisoner. Nobody's gonna pull this thing back together. It's too far out of hand. If you wanna give it one more try, Try it with another man. [Guitar Interlude] No more thunder and lightning. Nobody's gonna wrap me 'round their finger. No more thunder and lightning. Ain't gonna let you treat me like a prisoner. [Repeat Chorus]
SURRENDER TO ME (Tequila Sunrise)
Is it that we've been together much too long? The answer may not be in black and white. We're always trying to prove who's right or wrong, Yet now we're giving up without a fight. But I know when you're gone, I'll wish I held on. So, baby, surrender to me. There'll be no holding back now. So, baby, surrender to me tonight. I don't want our love to cause you so much pain. If this is how it's going to be, I'll walk away. Oh, neither one of us should ever say goodbye. Let's forget about the past and who's to blame, 'Cause when this is all gone, We'll wish we'd held on. So, baby, surrender to me. There'll be no holding back now. So, baby, surrender to me tonight. How could this love be in danger That used to be so good, so right? To think that fate could make us strangers Has thrown me in your arms tonight! So, baby, surrender to me. There'll be no holding back now. So, baby, surrender to me tonight. So, baby, surrender . . .
ONE MORE TIME
Nothing I must do, Nowhere I should be, No one in my life, To answer to, but me No more candlelights, No more purple skies No one to be near As my heart slowly dies Chorus: If I could hold you One More Time Like in the days when you were mine I'd look at you Till I was blind So you would stay I'd say a prayer each time you sigh Cradle the moments like a child I'd stop the world if only I Could hold you One More Time Mmmmmm.... I've memorized your face I know your touch by heart Still lost in your embrace I dream of where you are Chorus: If I could hold you One More Time Like in the days when you were mine I'd look at you Till I was blind So you would stay I'd say a prayer each time you sigh Cradle the moments like a child I'd stop the world if only I Could hold you One More Time Mmmm...One More Time.
YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE
Though you're far away from home, Where the cold and lonely roam, Don't forget the setting sun Shines on everyone, And you'll never be alone. You'd give everything you own, Saddle blanket, rope, and coat, To be sitting by your side Right at Christmas time, And you'll never be alone. Riding life for months on end Is sure to set you thinking too much. Been so long I can't remember when The last time I felt your touch. Though you're aching to the bone, She loves you more than you will know. Tell the trail to go to hell. Just sing a Noel, And you'll never be alone. Woah! [Guitar Interlude] Yeah! Riding life for months on end Is sure to set you thinking too much. It's been so long I can't remember when The last time I felt your touch! Though you're far away from home, Where the cold and lonely roam, Don't forget the setting sun Shines on everyone, And you'll never be alone. I'll be sitting by your side, Right at Christmas time, And I'll never be alone! [Guitar Out]
HAUNT ME TONIGHT
I hear the chimes playing the evening breeze, Bringing the night along its way. Just like the tide swaying the endless sea, It keeps you forever from the day. Haunt me tonight. Float to me on your illusion. Show me a sign to let me know. Haunt me tonight. Let me see your silent vision, That's all of your light I have to hold. I can't explain, can't even understand How what we had has come to this. When love's sweet refrain is played with a ghostly hand, And I am so helpless to resist. Haunt me tonight. Float to me on your illusion. Show me a sign to let me know. Yeah, yeah. Haunt me tonight. Let me see your silent vision, That's all of your light I have to hold. [Guitar Interlude] I feel you near, waiting beyond the shore, Don't leave me longing anymore, ooh . . . Haunt me tonight. Float to me on your illusion. Show me a sign to let me know. Oh yeah, yeah. Haunt me tonight. Let me see your silent vision, That's all of your light I have to hold. Yeah. Haunt me tonight. Float to me on your illusion. Show me a sign to let me know. Haunt me tonight. Let me see your silent vision, That's all of your light I have to hold.
HEART OF MY OWN
I can't go near the scent of flowers. I can't look at the sky. I can't turn on the radio And not cry. I won't watch lovers holding hands Or the sun sinking down. I can't look at a single thing in this town. You were playing a game and I, I lost count of the days and the nights. Do you know that you were my life? I'm tryin' hard to find all that's left of me, Now that you left me alone. Tired of runnin' away from your memory. I need a heart of my own. I have looked through every single book, Torn through every poem, Heard the words of every voice That I've known. How can you have such a hold on me, When you've already let go? You must have more power than I know. Woah. You were playing a game and I, I lost count of the days and the nights. Oh, did you know that you were my life?! I'm tryin' hard to find all that's left of me, Now that you left me alone. I'm tired of runnin' away from your memory. I need a heart of my own. You gave me heaven and showed me how to fly, Then laughed when I fell from the sky, yeah! [Guitar Interlude] Tired of runnin' away from your memory. I need a heart of my own. I'm tryin' hard to find all that's left of me, Now that you left me alone. I'm tired of runnin' away from your memory. I need a heart of my own. [Repeat Chorus] |
