Cher Album

STILL
CHER

MY HEART CRIED OUT FOR YOU
OVER AN OCEAN
AND YOUR PAIN CRIED OUT FOR ME
ACROSS A WAVE

YOU STOOD HALF DEAD,
NUMB TO ANY EMOTION
'CAUSE YOU WERE A PRISONER
AND I WAS A SLAVE

WE'D BOTH STOPPED SEARCHING FOR
ANY ACCEPTANCE
AND REJECTION ALWAYS WAS OUR BITTER PILL
'CAUSE, I HAVE NO PRECIOUS GIFTS TO GIVE YOU. . .
I ONLY HAVE FOUR WORDS
DARLING I LOVE YOU. . .
I LOVE YOU
STILL

I NEVER THOUGHT SOMEONE WOULD EVER SEE,
OR MAKE A PRISONER OF MY HEART
BUT LIKE A WARRIOR DRESSED IN ARMOR
YOU CARVED YOUR NAME IN IT,
RIGHT FROM THE START. . .

YOU HELD MY SOUL A HOSTAGE
IN YOUR TOWER ON THE HILL
AND ALL I PRAY FOR WHEN I SLEEP. . .
OR LAY AWAKE,
IS THAT YOU LOVE ME,
STILL . . .

MY HEART CRIED OUT FOR YOU OVER AN OCEAN
AND YOUR PAIN CRIED OUT FOR ME ACROSS A WAVE
'CAUSE WE HID HALF DEAD
NUMB TO ANY EMOTION
NOW YOU ARE MY PRISONER,
AND I AM YOUR SLAVE

WE'D BOTH STOPPED SEARCHING FOR ANY ACCEPTANCE
REJECTION HAD ALWAYS BEEN OUR BITTER PILL
AND I HAVE NO PRECIOUS GIFTS TO GIVE YOU. . .
OH, I ONLY HAVE THESE WORDS
DARLING I LOVE YOU. . .
I LOVE YOU. . .
STILL

OH BABY I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU. . . STILL
OH BABY I LOVE YOU - STILL
BABY I LOVE - STILL
I LOVE YOU STILL

OH BABY I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU. . . STILL
OH BABY I LOVE YOU - STILL
BABY I LOVE - STILL
I LOVE YOU STILL

Sisters of Mercy
Your faith is not faithful
Your grace shows no grace
Your mercy shows no mercy
Is there no way out of this place

There抯 a baby crying
Softly
In a dark and
Dangerous place
She抯 imprisoned by no
Language
Fear grips her tiny face
In gods house she
Held a hostage
By a cruel and
Heartless mob
There抯 some rule they
Think god抯
Written
And it justifies their job

Sisters of mercy
Daughters of hell
They always weave
Their web of lies
And wrap you in their
Wicked spell
Sisters of mercy
Masters of pain
They try to crucify your
Innocence
And do it in gods name

There抯 a baby
Sobbing softly
In a crib that抯 now
A cage
She抯 done nothing to
Deserve this
But it sanctifies their
Rage

They use god like he抯 a
Weapon
Only for a chosen few
Then hide behind pious
Faces
Like the guilty always do

Sisters of mercy
Mothers of shame
A baby only gets to
Heaven is she抯 baptized in his
Name
Sisters of Mercy
Daughter of war
These chicks administer
Your penance
While the devil guards
Their door

Your faith is not faithful
Your grace has no
Grace
Your mercy shows no
Mercy
Is there no way out of
This place

There抯 a baby who抯 a
Warrior
Sometimes tears run down her face

As she wonders should
She fight
Or simply disappear from
The race
If she抯 only
One lesson
It抯 pride comes before
A fall
The karma train waits
For no man
But god waits for us all

Sisters of mercy
Twisters of truth
I cannot condemn you or
Forgiver you
For your sins done in gods
Youth

Sisters of mercy
Daughters of Cain
I see your wilted
Powers fading
Left like rags out
In the rain

Sisters of mercy
Mothers of hell
Your mercy has no
Mercy
Is there no way out of
This place
Your grace shows no
Grace
Your mercy shows no
Mercy
Is there no way out of
This place
Is there no way out of
This place

It's hard to hit a moving target
At least that's what I've been told
It they can't catch you
They can't hurt you
You never let them get a hold
So I keep runnin' -
I keep right on runnin'

I've always pushed it to the limit
In fact I've pushed it way past that
If you've got guts then jump on in it
If not then don't forget your hat
And I keep runnin' -
Keep on runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Even though I'm cryin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Keep myself from dyin'

Kick back, relax, don't try to fight it
I'm like a time bomb set to blow
Ooh babe you make me so excited
I just can't take it anymore
I might stop cryin' -
Feels like I'm flyin'

Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Though it feels like flyin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
You make me feel like dyin'
Sail - sail - sail
Sail - sail - sail

Babe I can't run away from you
But I'm scared to let you know
I never stayed one place long enough
To lose my will to go

Of future's is way up ahead
The past fades somewhere far behind
If we could just unveil our needs
No one could stop us or we'd be flyin'
We could stop runnin'
Stop all this runnin'
Runnin', runnin',
Runnin' no more need for cryin'
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin' love feels just like flyin'
Sail - sail - sail

Hear the coyote howl
He's found his prey at last
In one moment of weakness
The chase is over so fast
He celebrates his kill
No mercy in his eyes
When you're born with the hunger
The hunger never dies

Midnight is on the prowl
And I hear it call my name
Danger lurks in the shadows
But it's all part of a game
Until I quench this thirst
I will not close these eyes
When you're born with the hunger
The hunger never dies

You and I, we're the same
We both carry this flame
To depths of our souls
Once this fever awakes
We can never escape
It's beyond our control

We're all born with the hunger
We're all born with the hunger

Temptation bites your lip
One kiss ignites the fire
So begins the seduction
As we succumb to desire

Your body aches for more
Why are you so surprised
When you're born with the hunger
The hunger never dies
When you're born with the hunger
The hunger - it never dies

Never even knew you
But I heard your note today
You talk about injustice
And how we look the other way
I knew full well your meaning
But my world just moves too fast
It's a shame about your future
It's a crime about your past

Was there no one who could save you
From the prison of each breath
Like Rapunzel in her tower
Isolation equals death
Was there no one who could rescue you
From the prison of your pain
Am I tougher or just lucky
Our fate didn't end the same

But my heart has run on empty
Since I heard the f**kin' news
We're a heartless, Godless culture
We'd walk nowhere in your shoes

For me it's 6:30 in the morning
And my moods as black as rain
I am 30 light years older
But I understand your pain
They'll all hate you
'Cause you left them here
To struggle on their own
I'm sorry you saw no choice
'Til death chilled you to the bone

But my heart has run on empty
Since I heard the f**kin' news
We're a heartless, Godless culture
We'd walk nowhere in your shoes
Well the good news if there's any
Is you ever lived at all
But our country kills its heroes
We just raise them for the fall

I don't want to live without you
God it hurts to be alone
But livin' with you or without you
Cut its my poor heart to the bone
'Cause my heart gets broken everytime we fall

This only so much left unshattered
This time I know my back's against the wall
But truth is the only thing that matters anymore

I'm scared in a crowd of people
And you're afraid to be alone
I have prayed you'd be beside me
I guess I'm meant to stand alone
'Cause our hearts to get broken
Every time we fall
They're beaten down and battered
You're so afraid you don't deserve it all
But you're not the only thing
That matters anymore

How can I live without you in my heart
When I walk out this time
It'll tear me apart
My heart gets broken
Everytime we fall
There's only so long
I can fake it
'Cause you let me go Babe

We could have had it all
We had a chance
I thought we'd make it
'Cause I gave my heart
You had to break it
God give me strength
I just can't take it anymore

Oh brother, man where are you
I am bucklin' from the load
I have lost my eye for color
And my heart can't see the road
Oh sister, come and catch me
'Cause my legs, their prime has past
I am breaking from the sorrow
And my faith is fadin' fast
Mother, father, help me
I'm your flesh and blood and bone
Don't you hear me
Can't you see me
m I doomed to live alone

Without warmth or love or honor
Like a dog out on the street
Am I trash 'cause I can't manage
Must I grovel at your feet

I'm the boy who fought your battles
And I'm the man who won your wars
Is it over?
Have you used me?
I'm no value anymore

I'm your mothers,
Wives, and daughters
I'm your fathers, husbands, sons
I'm the life's blood of this country
I'm the hopeful precious ones

Am I nothing,
Am I no one
Once a fabric,
Now a rag
We treat people like they're nothing
We're not fit to fly,
Fit to fly
No, no, no - no, no, no

We're not fit to fly-
Fit to fly a flag (no, no, no)
Join the Army
See the world
The Marine Corps
Join the Navy
We're not fit to fly -
Fit to fly the flag

If you're gonna make an omelette
You gotta break an egg
If you wanna be in show biz
Then you gotta break a leg
Babe you're heading on a journey
I hate to see you make
'cause the only food they sell there
Is called Disaster Cake
You won't plan or deserve it
When life sneaks behind your back
It'll grab you by the short hairs
And gently tie you up to the rack
If you think you can outrun it
That'll be your first mistake
'cause the recipe you're making
Is for Disaster Cake

Read my lips
Babe the crack that you hear is thunder
You don't know but you're goin' under
Read my lips
Babe that flash that you see is lightnin'
I had been up ahead
It's frightenin'
Yeah your're young and you're cool
Here to break every rule
- You're a fool

Now you won't listen or believe me
When I tell you what's ahead
I'm a dinosaur in your mind
I've never even seen "The Dead"
But child read my lips and tremble
'cause your world's about to break
And the crumbs they're sellin' after
Are from Disaster Cake
Read my lips

Girl you're heading for a disaster
You run fast - you need to run faster
Read my lips
'cause you're an accident waiting to happen
Yeah you're young and you're cool
But hell's full of young fools
Rest in peace

Yeah I know you're tired of listenin'
And you wish I'd just go away
If I do you'll be alone here
And then you'll beg my ass to stay
Babe, life's a paradox for certain
Like tryin' to fuck through an earthquake
Simpler task than eating
An entire Disaster Cake

Read my lips
Girl you're heading for a disaster
You run fast - you need to run faster
Read my lips
Babe that glash that you see is lightnin'
I have been up ahead
It's frightenin'
Yeah you're young and you're cool
But hell's full of young fools
Rest in peace

I met a woman in San Francisco
Who was lyin' in the street
I walked on past her in a hurry
I didn't want her at my feet

Am I just numb or overloaded
Or have I lost all sense of worth
This lady beggin' for survival
Doomed by a twist of fate from birth

i met this woman in San Francisco
She only had one shoe
Have we all gone crazy
How can this happen
Is there nothin' we can do

I don't believe that for a fuckin minute
No system's comin' to her rescue
While she lay crying
I felt helpless
Where are these crack
That she fell through

The times we live in have less value
Than Bob Dole's useless arm
There are no fires burning brightly
What's even worse
There's no alarm

I met this lady in San Francisco
She was dyin' at my feet
People passed her like she was nothin'
Less than garbage in the street

The times we live in must have value
We can't all turn away
'cos that woman who had nothin'
Might be me or you
Some day
Some day
Some day
Some day

I know now how much I love you
I knew it surely when I saw my blood
I cried with my wet eyes
I said "I love you"
I said "I love you" dying in the mud
It's funny you know I'm not the one that feels bad
Some guy is gonna knock at our front door
Honey he's gonna try and tell you in a nice way
That Mrs., you're not Mrs. anymore.

Just one more time I wish that you could see you
Just one more time I wish that you were near
Just one more time I wish that you could hear me
But bitterness won't make me reappear
I love you, my God how I love you
I see you all around me
It's time now it's time to say boodnight
But this time my love,
I won't have to get up and fight
I love you
