CALLING OUT FOR YOU
I can't quite explain what happened to me
lightning stroke and I was blind
I was tumbling through a light
that came shining from your eyes
what it was I couldn't say,
and I'm not sure I wanna know
Seven heavens seven sins
This is just the way to go -
I'm calling out for you
we'll dance into the blue
all this makes me feel pretty real
I should be scared cause I can't see
what's going on behind that light
But in fact no matter what
I'm really sure this will turn out right
I can't give a name to this
but the whole world's looking new
There's something pumping in my brain
Heaven's where we're going too
I'm calling out for you
we'll dance into the blue
all this makes me feel pretty real
FOLLOW THE CLOUDS
Up to the sky, or down to the river
Crawling or flying, I'll follow the clouds
Over the world and under the bridges
Thunder or rainbow, I'll walk unbowed
You're not the only one – who's trying to get out of here
You're not the only one – going out of his mind
We may not hesitate - cause time will not wait for us
And if you're not ready now – I'll go there alone
Up to the sky, or down to the river
Crawling or flying, I'll follow the clouds
Over the world and under the bridges
Thunder or rainbow, I'll walk unbowed
Watching the years go by - is not what I'm going to do
Counting the tears I cry – is not what I want
Keeping my love alive – that's what I wanna do
Keeping my live beloved – is all what I need
Up to the sky, or down to the river
Crawling or flying, I'll follow the clouds
Over the world and under the bridges
Thunder or rainbow, I'll walk unbowed
There's time to rest in a another world
There's time to rest in a another world
Up to the sky, or down to the river
Crawling or flying, I'll follow the clouds
Over the world and under the bridges
Thunder or rainbow, I'll walk unbowed
RULE OF LOVE
Waking up, fallin' down, everyday
is what she left behind
Drying tears, cryin again, everyday,
that's what she left behind
I won't try to play the game again,
cause I don't care no more
I can't count the days I spent
waitin' till I care no more
What's the rule of love?
I don't care no more.
Yes it failed, anyway, many times
she had to go
Lots of ways to get lost, I found 'em all,
she had to go
But she never said good bye,
all she did was disappear
Guess we never had a chance,
I'll never get away from here
What's the rule of love?
I don't care no more.
Trying to hide from the sparks flying round ev'ry little memory
But there ain't no place safe enough, maybe - there's no saving me
What's the rule of love?
I don't care no more.
WASTING TIME
Alright, I'm ready now, I'm taking off
The night just waits for me
The sun is down, the light is gone
It's time to feel free
Romancing 's not the way that I will spend this night
I'm going out and I am sure I'll be alright
Wasting time
City-streets are gleaming wet
In colored neon light
The rain is gone and pretty soon
I'll be ready to ignite
You're not the one I need to follow me around
I don't need company until I'm homeward bound
I'm wasting time
Who loves you, who needs you? Oooh it is your mom
It isn't me tonight, I'm trucking right and having fun
Wasting time
Romancing 's not the way that I will spend this night
I'm going out and I am sure I'll be alright
Wasting time
SHAKE IT ALL OFF
Did ya ever lose your way
walking on a straight track
Did ya ever scare a soul
and you knew you shouldn't
Did ya ever fall in love
when you could have known better
Shake it all off
Did ya ever walk away
when you'd better be waiting longer
Did ya ever close your eyes
when you should have been on the run
Did ya ever lose your cool
and you know you can't remember
Shake it all off
Don't you start to count your faults
And if you do, you better change that way
Try and take the other road
Shake it off, shake it off,
Gotta shake it off
Did ya ever sing the blues
without any given reason
Did ya ever steal a heart
feeling you are doing wrong
Did ya ever understand
what the man in the mirror told you
Shake it all off
MASTERPIECE
The way I used to go,
the roads I used to run
The things I always thought
that they are heavy duty scum
The walk of fame and heroes
the rise of noise and trash
The runway to the east
where you make a lot of cash
(Refrain)
You feel it is wrong but you'll never ever find the keys
You're right in the middle
of a great fraud masterpiece
No matter where you go
no matter where you run
Maybe you're second winner
if it's brilliant what you've done
You'll never make the day
no matter what you do
Be sure there's always someone
who is right in front of you
(Refrain)
The game is on
rolling high on your expense
They need you bad
if you believe in commonsense
Masterpiece
you will never find the keys
But pay pay pay pay
(Refrain)
FEELING ALRIGHT
I've been through a night and I've been through a year
Now she's back
Looking at me
in an way I just didn't expect
I'm only half way up
to the peace of my mind
And now she is standing there, waiting for me to be kind
(Refrain)
But I ain't gonna argue tonight
I'll keep on laughing and drinking
And feeling alright
What in the world have I done
to deserve such a fate
It happened so fast
but still I left her too late
I'm only half way up
to the peace of my soul
And now she is standing there
making me loose my control
(Refrain)
Mad from being kind
sad from being cruel
Worn out from loving a joker
And a fool
(Refrain)
SWEET JULIA
Hit it!
I wait all night
but she's not here
She's on hit the road
she's shifting gear
She's driving fast, she's going far
She don't need me, she got a car
(She's not missing me)
Ooooh sweet Julia
(She's not missing me)
She drives all night to see the stars
She's speeding up and passing cars
I hang around, she's doing fine
She's having fun
I'm wasting time
(She's not missing me)
Ooooh sweet Julia
(She's not missing me)
Where she goes
what she does, I don't know
Who she knows, what she loves, I don't know
Maybe I should go back home, spend my life alone
She's not missing me
Ooooh sweet Julia
(She's not missing me)
SEVEN ACRES FIELD OF STONE (OVER YOU)
Seven acres field of stone
and dying seeds
Wicked needs, wicked needs
Warned but never ever more
then unaware
Never care, never care
(Refrain)
Cross the hills
but still you're after me
Torn up shirt and
worn out sneakers
Wig in pink and yellow
still you look so fine
Finally out of sight and earshot
Missing every point of interest
Right into the fog
I'm getting over you, over you
What it meant I shouldn't say
and wouldn't know
What a show, what a show
Crusty love and humming brain
beneath my crown
Going down, going down
(Refrain)
You left me in the mirror
I hope they let me stay there
a while
Did you ever feel or listen
Tell me, tell me
THE WAY WE PLAY
When I wake up
I need no morning papers,
don't need no coffee
don't need no toast'n'tea
All I need is a little smile
and a little more
of ev'ry thing you gonna do to me
I love it in the morning
I love it in the day
I love it after midnight
The way we play, the way we play
The way we play
When I go to bed
and I cut the lights
I won't close my eyes,
I'm gonna wait
for your sweet caress
And when you appear
I'm gonna be aware, I'll be there
And I won't be nowhere else
I love it in the morning
I love it in the day
I love it after midnight
Just listen what I say
Ain't nothing as funky
As the way we play,
the way we play,
the way we play,
the way we play
SOME HOT CURVES
World was falling into pieces
The second when she hit your eye
All you want are drooling kisses
All she'll do is french your fry
Sweet Temptation blowing your mind
Some hot curves leave you confined
Drag behind her all the way
Some hot curves, they make you pray
She's riding high and you will pay
You think your odds be fifty fifty,
But you're not even on the track
She will leave you pretty thrifty
She'll take the bread and kick your back
Sweet Temptation blowing your mind
Some hot curves leave you confined
Drag behind her all the way
Some hot curves, they make you pray
She's the bird and you're the prey
Oooh sweet low temptation
Oooh, squealing desire
Oooh sweet low temptation
Oooh, squealing desire
Oooh sweet low temptation
Oooh great balls of fire
Sweet Temptation blowing your mind
Some hot curves leave you confined
Drag behind her all the way
Some hot curves, they make you pray
Sweet Temptation blowing your mind
Some hot curves leave you confined
You're going nowhere but down the drain
Some hot curves drive you insane
You're the fool, but who's to blame
NAKED HEART
It was just me and Judy Brown
And time was all we took to town
Night was light enough to see
And daylight was too cold for me
When there was nothing left to share
In a year that toughed us, not to care
Time took me up and shook me down
left just my naked heart around
She said we never had a choice
I drank and yelled and wrecked my voice
Till there was no one left to fool
And booze was all that kept me cool
I wrecked more than was left me
I give my naked heart to thee
Remember clouds drifting
Fighting and shoplifting
Worn out but feeling alive
Wide awake, dreams turning
eyes closed and sweat burning
When time was still on our side
Wrong or right
Time took me up and shook me down
left just my naked heart around
I wrecked more than was left me
I give my naked heart
here's my naked heart
I give my naked heart to thee
YOU'VE GOT ME RISING
You make me move t'wards the silver line
Strange feeling up and down my spine
You make me walk any road I've ever known
Show feelings I've never shown
You've got me rising from my knees
Feel no pain, you make me feel so good
Feel no chain, fell like ever should
I don't feel no warning in the air
All that I see is the sunlight I your hair
You've got me rising from my knees
CHECKING OUT WHERE THE WIND BLOWS
Checking out where the wind blows
Way down south, way down south
Checking out where the weed grows
Way down south, way down south
I'll go running from the cold, from my weird workday
From the falling leaves and snow
There' no price I won't pay
I'm turning my face to the sun
When it goes down I'll be gone
Gone cross the sea
No use in waiting for me
Checking out how the world turns
Goin' round, goin' round
Checking out how my brain learns
Goin' round, goin' round
Nothing is as straight down here as it tries to seem
So better get ready for the bend, check out what it means
Twentyfour seven is no way to go
All you'll ever get is just another bill to pay
No one 'll ever tell you that you gave enough
Give 'em what they want and you will just been blown away
Checking out where the oil flows
Way up north, way up north
Checking out where the bread goes
Way up north, way up north
You're lucky if you got the choice between warm and well
If you're on the other side you can go to hell
CHAT WITH AN OLD HOOKER AT THE BAR
After what's said and done
I'm doing fine
Good enough to stay alive
Seven more hours left
of this Friday night
but that love ran out of time
Heal my heart tonight
It wasn't her mistake
That's what she said
I don't know, maybe she's right
Better not wait for me
that's what I wrote
Did she laugh or did she smile?
