Infidel can you hear Would be strange delight I need you to give your sympathy tonight When you hear what I say Deeds Ive done Realise Ive never lost and never won Ive got a feeling that its never right There was a reason but its out of sight Its going down somewhere tonight Under the gun Put death in my hand Learn to fight Who could care if its wrong or if its right We got no choice Under command Were ordered to die or take this land Stupid bastards and religious freaks So safe in their castle keeps They turn away as a mother weeps When brave men fall Under crimson skies Theres a sadness reflected in a soldiers eyes Tears will dry For those I kill Remember no more their names but Someone will The only way to be victorious Screw the fools who think its glorious Who gives a toss about the likes of us

Time, it does not matter But time is all we have To think about, think about Road, it has no end Crossroads every turn So it goes, so it goes Once you sang A simple song Got confused Went on too long Why does the promise fade You lie on the bed you make Stranger than fiction Further from the truth Beyond imagination Those seeds have taken root Wild as a dream could be From black and white To blue and red Golden circles Flow above your head Once you sang A simple song It all went wrong Time, it does not matter Time is all we have
Try to see it my way Do I have to keep on talking till I cant go on While you see it your way Run the risk of knowing That our love will soon be gone We can work it out We can work it out Think of what youre saying You can get it wrong And still you think that its alright Think of what Im saying We can work it out And get it straight or say goodnight We can work it out We can work it out Life is very short and theres no time For fussing and fighting my friend I have always thought that its a crime So I will ask you once again Ill ask you once again Try to see it my way Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong While I see it your way Theres a chance that we might Fall apart before too long We can work it out We can work it out Life is very short and theres no time For fussing and fighting my friend I have always thought that its a crime So I will ask you once again Ill ask you once again Try to see it my way Only time will tell If I am right or I am wrong While I see it your way Theres a chance that we might Fall apart before too long We can work it out We can work it out At least we can try We can try to work it out someday
Riding on the moonpath In the silver of the night The fragrance on the air Was of another time I cried in all my innocence You were dressed in white And even if Id had the strength I couldnt move to save my life The fear and the thrill Of the beast at the window The shivers and the chills On the hottest of nights He walked right through My open door As I began to run, he threw Some gold upon the floor, and said Theres plenty more Where that came from Im tired of the bombs Im tired of the bullets Im tired of the crazies on TV Im the aviator A dreams a dream whatever it seems I flew along the lighted street I flew above the town I flew in ever rising cicrcles Ever further from the ground As I begin to lose my breath Printed faxes turn a spin A distant corner of the room Will open up and let me in Im tired of the news Im tired of the weather Im tired of the same thing every day Im the aviator A dreams a dream whatever they say
I keep singing the same old song Like I did before When you left me baby, you left me in darkness Id never known before I was restless, a fool for your time Waiting around for you to call me, baby But now Ive found me an angel of mercy I dont feel bad at all Your body was honey, I tasted a lot But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got I want someone to hold me I need love, I need love Ive got nothing to do, baby, nothing to say Just live your life the way you know When you moved on you took all the sweetness Was I a fool to let you go? Now with a woman I forget for the moment All the times we knew before Though Im still singing the same old love song I dont want you knocking on my door Your body was honey, I tasted a lot But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got I want someone to hold me and keep me satisfied I need I want someone to hold me, keep me satisfied Your body was honey, I tasted a lot But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got I want someone to hold me I need love, hey baby, I need love babe I need love, you could give it to me I need your love, I need your love Love, your love, oh baby, baby Baby, baby, want to know Keep on loving me, keep on love Keep on loving me baby, babe Keep on loving me Keep on loving me, babe

Have you ever thought of the feeling I get when Im alone with you Its causing me worry and trouble Im going around in circles Dont know what Im going to do You cant do it right With the one you love Nothing you can do Without the one you love You were always playing my records When I was after making some love But I need more than the music To keep myself together Although it makes me feel so good Sometimes in the morning I wake up without you Cant get up, its getting me down Tell me what youre trying to do Later in the evening You come home feeling low If youd stop your cruising Maybe we could make a show

Strange ways Strange I was born into confusion My mother said to me When you become a man youll understand But its still a mystery And if you want to get ahead Get some decent clothes The only way to make it Dress the part that gets right up my nose And I think to myself in this river of doubt This is something I can do without But, strange ways is what I got Strange ways The Indians are coming I saw it on TV Theyre twenty thousand strong But they always get depleted by the cavalry Salvation is at hand Its guaranteed Just send a donation straight to God One eight hundred, toll free And I think to myself in this academy of fear Where am I going, what am I doing here? But strange ways is all I got Strange ways Aaa, aaa Have you seen the headlines?

I hear the beating of your wings And youre playing on my strings In mysterious ways You draw me in To a love Beyond all understanding Beyond my reach So far away But it seems Like only yesterday Im Haunted Haunted Is that what you wanted All thats left Is the ghost of your smile It stays awhile Then fades away I hear your footsteps on the ground Tempting me to turn around Its just the echo Of a disenchanted lover Shuffling aimlessly Homeward bound To empty rooms And picture frames And Friends Who cant recall our names
Cast your eyes into the crystal Deep inside the mystery Is that a vision of a lonely man I fear it looks a lot like me Is that a man without a woman Whose empty life is but a shell Empty hearts will echo Forever in the wishing well Fortuneteller Youve got to help me find an end to the nightmare Because I cant stand this pain and the curse of time Somewhere in your eyes Ill find the answer Give me the truth Ive been looking for Be my guiding light, Ill take my chances Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door Some days come with a vengeance Some days I feel so bad The mirror holds no secrets I lost the best thing that I had Fortuneteller Can you help me to see, is there an end to the sorrow Or was this slow ride to nowhere always meant to be Somewhere in your eyes Ill find the answer Give me the truth Ive been looking for Be my guiding light, Ill take my chances Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door She always taking more than shed need But we were both to blame somehow In the heat of the moment I told her to leave I guess I lost more than I found But I remember

Remind me to tell you Bout the old silver miner Name of hard rock Pete Had his house built on a slope They say one of his legs Lived in Calico Thers a rumour going round That the other lived in hope So I walked in the room And I stopped I turned around And looked over my shoulder And a voice close beside me said Youd better watch your head The partys over Somebody stole my guitar They took it from The back seat of my car It wasnt long before The waitress came over and said Can I freshen up your drink And have you heard of these boys And if you feel included To buy some cowboy boots Well its not that bad We can talk above the noise So I sucked on my beer Shut my eyes And tried to listen to the words I know I missed the meaning But the message Was something Id already heard Johnny Ringos voice Is getting deeper And now hes going to put Another lock on the door The night is getting later My head is getting lighter The mood is getting darker Tequilas being poured So I smile At the old gunslinger In his frame on the wall As he pushed back his hat And its all coming back Id cut a long story short But its much too late for that I was sleeping in Memphis In my hotel room And somebody stole my guitar
If you dont like what you see If you can do better than me Walk on If the road before you winds Obscuring al the signs Walk on You mean more to me Than just a pretty face I wont hold you down You need a little space You know I dont like to fight No matter whos wrong or right Walk on

If you fool around With the dealer Remember soon Youll have to pay, yeah Hell creep behind you Like a hunter Just to steal your soul away I dont want no one Messing with my woman But just the same I dont wanna see nobody Fooling with you If youre snow blind Madonna can hold you But if you dont understand There is nothing she can do for you Running from the dealer Trying to save your soul I can feel the fire Coming from inside you I know what its like Because Ive been burned before Aint no mercy in the hunger Youre a fool to yourself Because your dealer keeps you begging for more In the beginning all you wanted Was the calm before the storm If the bluebird plays the eagle, yeah He finds his song will turn to stone, dealer
How can I see when the light is gone out? How can I hear when you speak so silently? More than enough is never too much Hold out a hand Im so out of touch Do unto me as your heart would have you do Words in my head can I get the message through? Sword in my hand can cut through the wood Peace in my heart can soften the mood What shall I do when they stand smiling at me? Look at the floor and be oh, so cool Oh, so cool? How shall I know when to start singing my song? What shall I do if they all go wrong? What shall I do? What shall I do when they stand laughing at me? Walk through the door and be oh so cool? How shall I know when to stop singing my song? What shall I do when it all goes wrong?

I was born a rambling man And I never got the chance To settle down and get a hold on love Taking air and moving around Is all I can see that Im doing And it is bringing me down Driving on a highway going nowhere Desolation destination Guess Ill find it somewhere I know if theres trouble I am not taking the blame Thats why I keep moving So nobody knows my name Born a loser Im beyond the law Women behind me Never can find me They can never get together What Ive been here for Because Im a drifter Rolling on Im not wasting my time no more
Child on a painted horse Streams that will run their course Gone to a far away shore Ooh, ooh, ah My painted horse is weeping Days of another kind Frost gets a bruising vine Why did the carpenter die? Ooh, ooh, ah My painted horse is weeping Sweet as a rose so fine Peaceful as a final time How old could the lion man cry? Ooh, ooh, ah My painted horse is weeping Thoughts of a winter moon Warm in a distant room Why did I fall asleep so soon? Ooh, ooh, ah My painted horse is weeping
Well there must have been a reason For the smile that you had upon your face last night Are you the cat that got the cream? Did you lick your lips? Did you roll your eyes? Can you imagine how it feels? Its so hard to reveal, oh I cant get through, Im falling Im getting out, Im losing ground The Spanish Archers going to bring you down Is there someone, somewhere Waiting in the wings to take my place? Lets not drag it out, like a Cagney death scene Oh, in this season of change, its not hard to explain Like the leaves on the trees, Im falling And as you turn, dont look away The Spanish Archers going to make you pay Do you remember when the sky was blue? We used to talk for miles And now we drive along, in this thundering silence Its such an obvious lie, with that easy smile of yours Im letting go, and Im falling Well is there something I can say As we stumble to the edge, have we gone too far? Why dont we call it a day Before we call it a nightmare, darlin? If we made a mistake, then all that it takes to be free Is the wave of a hand and youre falling

I was driving through the night Into an endless tunnel of fog When it dawned on me something was wrong I was in a trance, hypnotized Bored beyond belief, I was listening to the same old song I know every lick, every word every nuance Im on first name terms with the crew But Id better get used to this poop du jour Sure as hell they wont play anything new Oh yes, I love you really Classic Rock Radio Oh, my dear its time for bed Time for you to go Everyone is asleep The pirates took to the water stole the charts But sadly that didnt go down well with those upstairs Who require loyalty, the establishment considered That the uncontrolled appreciation of music Was a danger to royalty, the mighty empire roared As Cash n Everitt on the high seas Looked like theyd get blown out of the water They did of course eventually come ashore As meek as mice or to be more accurate as lambs to the slaughter Oh yes, I love you really I stand to attention Oh, Fanny, I love you dearly Something else I should mention?

Oh yes, I love you really Is there something that I missed?
Walk through the night looking for your kind of smile Hoping to meet you I walk my love for miles Your face, your eyes, I cant find the girl I look for Shadows can conceal you You cant hide, so please dont try Your life and my love But to search just makes me cry Life was so young and another day is gone Love seems a lost word How can my heart be strong When that was is again I wait for love to be there Then in the shadows I see the face I look for But then like the night youre gone just as before A face in a crowd A shadow once more

Never a word, a word so true Passed between us, me and you Heard you found your pot of gold Thats the story Ive been told Never a word was said in vain Some were never sad again Some were lost in lovers heat Some lay fallen at our feet All day all night You and only you All day all night I think of you and only you Never a word escaped my lips Silenced by your fingertips I kept my word, can you believe All this time so hard to breathe Hard to breathe
Should’ve been there to start the game To witness why I was in Me still the usual bow, got the awesome right ahead Well that’s just to bring, you understand the prospect of our mission Nothing could possibly go alright til we lost out inhibition Then we hit the lights Maybe we should bring the girl that is There’s nothing about it Another world While you go ahead, I’ll clench my thirst Après vous, so go first Things got new since we tend to do We’ll liquefy the future We just played our skills in romance In the art of self-delusion We went from chosen few, our confidence grew It depends on where you’re standing It’s not much you think It’s only a blink between takeoff and landing Uh, come on man Feel the boot turn If it’s a burst, so what can you do? Yes I know that she wants me too But I can’t jump the queue so après vous While you go ahead, I’ll clench my thirst Après vous!
Oh youre all looking up With hearts of devotion Through the dust and the heat lost to me In a cloud of emotion I have no motivation To keep this breathless pace Im more inclined to stay here In this breathing space And the sun goes down And the moon comes up I never tried to walk the walk Because the steps are elusive The membership is too costly And exclusive Hey, the more Ive got The more I stand to lose So Im going to unpack my bags And take off my shoes Let me tell you theres no point knocking At the big oak door Cant you see that its all full up They cant take no more The lines so long Its almost Disney Ooh: Wont somebody kiss me
