. . .


The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil sprung.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

. . .


I got more than I asked for,
There ain't nothin' I need.
I took all till I had more,
I'm always takin' the lead.

Old man shakin' dice down on the street,
Try'n to make a livin' somehow
But I'm really sure about gettin' things sorted out
And I'm gettin' ready right now.

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life.

I've been called by many names
And all of them are bad.
I can take it all the same,
It's all I've ever had.

I've got somethin' that you can't get
But one thing you can see:
Gettin' there ain't easy
But it sure was hard for me.

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life.

Every time I take a look
There's someone close behind.
They never used to make a pass,
The things that crossed their minds.

Now they tell me that it's all right
And they want to be my friend.
They're ridin' on my back.
When is it goin' to end?

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life.

Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need.
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need.
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need.

. . .


I don't care if my lady's gone
As long as you give me just what I want.
I've been losin' my direction,
Got to find a new connection.

You have wasted the love I tasted,
Now I'm really gettin' hungry more and more.
Been a long time, had a bad sign.
Tell me what am I fighting for?

Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
There's one thing I really need.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
Lay down, stay down.

Lookin' for trouble, I guess that's right.
When I was young I was taught to fight.
It's been long gone since I had known,
Now I'm headin' for some more.

Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
There's one thing I really need.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
Lay down, stay down.

Let me know you feel it,
You know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
There's one thing I really need.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
Lay down, stay down.

. . .


If you're driftin' on an empty ocean
With no wind to fill your sails
The future your horizon
It's like searchin' for the Holy Grail

You feel there's no tomorrow
As you look into the water below
There's only your reflection
And you still aint got no place to go

(Chorus):
Time will show
When I don't know
Sail away tomorrow
Sailin' far away
To find it steal or borrow
I'll be there someday

Now woman I keep returnin'
To sing the same old songs
The story's been told, now I'm gettin' old
Tell me where do I belong

Feels like I'm goin' to surrender
Hard times I've had enough
If I could find a place to hide my face
I believe I could get back up

(Chorus):

. . .


You fool no one, waiting to see if I’m gone.
So hard to see you are taking your chances with me.
If I find you with some other man
You know what I’m gonna do.
Better run if you see me comin’, ah.

Soon you will fall, making mistakes like before.
When you tell me lies I can see by the look in your eyes.
If you think you’re gonna take me for granted,
Chasin’ round with all you see,
Gonna make you live to regret it, ah.

You fool no one, waiting to see if I’m gone.
So clear to see you’ve had all your chances with me.
You thought that you could take me for granted
But I couldn’t take it no more.
Better run when you see me comin, ah.

. . .


Roll me over slowly, I've been drinkin' all night
Help me make a move, I can't stand the light
Wake me, shake me, don't slam the door
I ain't been so bad, I just can't recall
Spent the night chasin' up a listed old flame
Lyin' on the floor, I can't remember her name
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here
What's goin' on here?

Went downtown, had a long way to go
How I got there, well, I don't know
Found myself sittin' in a West Side bar
Tried to leave, but I could not go far
High class woman tryin' to give me a line
Should have left early when I felt so fine
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here
What's goin' on here?

When they closed up the bar, you know, they left me for dead
I can't remember a thing I said
Must have called the police to take me away
They said, "Forty days," now I've got to pay
Spent the night chasin' up a listed old flame
Lyin' on the floor, I can't remember my name
I can't get together while they're messin' with me
Keep on lookin' round, tell me where can I be
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here
What's goin' on here?

. . .


I've been mistreated, I've been abused, yeah
I've been struck downhearted, now, baby, ooh yeah
I've been so confused
'Cause I know, yes I know, I've been mistreated
Ooh all my life, aaah
Since my baby left me, I've been losing my mind
Oooh yeah

I've been lonely, ooh ooh, I say I've been cold
I'm getting old
I've been looking for a woman, all the time to stay, yeah
Someone to have and hold

But I know, yeah I know, I've been mistreated, left for a day
Since my baby left me, I've been losing, losing, yeah
Baby I've been losing my mind, oooh
Losing my mind all the time, yeah

Oooh
I've been so abused, yeah yeah
I said: I've been looking for a woman, all my life
Someone who'd leave me confused, like they do, yeah yeah
But I know, ooh
I've been mistreated, and generally left for a day
Since my woman left me, I've been losing, losing, oh
Baby I've been losing my mind
All the time, yeah yeah, ooh, hey, ooh, hey, ooh
Losing my mind, all the time, yeah
Oh oh oh, losing my mind, I say

But I'm losing my mind, all of the time
I'm going around
Looking for you, nothing to do
Losing my mind
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh
Losing my mind
Lets go
Oooo-ooo, oooo-oooo
Oooo-ooo, oooo-oooo

We've been losing our minds, oh oh oh oooh
