Hey ho away we go
We're on the road to never
Where life's a joy
for girls and boys
And only will get better
Hey ho away we go
We're on the road to never
Romeo and Juliet
The doctor and his case
Without a plan they left the van
And there were laid to waste
Hey ho away we go
We're on the road to never
The priest was there
with sandy hair
Religion by his side
He saw his law was broken
The punishment was applied
Hey ho away we go
Along the road to never
Hey ho away we go
We're on the road to never
[solo]
He held her hand
and wished her well
Although his heart was aching
The cameras rolled
The print was bold
The holy war was breaking
It's hey ho away we go
We're on the road to never
Where life's a joy
for girls and boys
And only will get better
Hey ho away we go
Along the road to never
Hey ho away we go
We're on the road to never
Hey ho away we go
Along the road to never
Hey ho away we go
We're on the road to never
[solo]
The priest was there
with sandy hair
Religion by his side
He saw his law was broken
The punishment was applied

The fruit of love was in the future
Around the corner and over the hill
The act of love was slowly pounding
Slowly pounding
Slowly pounding
The holy war was slowly building
Heroes leaving for the great crusade
Seek reward in the ever after
Ever after
Ever after
Don't wanna have to lose you baby
Don't want to have to take you back
You know I'll never lose you baby
Abuse you baby
Use you baby
You know I'll always help you baby
But I just can't do that
I know I said I'd help you baby
Here's my wallet
Call me sometime
Act of love
Act of love
Act of love
Act of love
The fruit of love was in the future
Around the corner and over the hill
The act of love was slowly pounding
Slowly pounding
Slowly pounding
Act of love
Act of love
Act of love
Act of love

I'm an accident
I was driving way too fast
I couldn't stop though
so I let the moment last
I'm for rollin'
I'm for tossin' in my sleep
it's not guilt though
it's not the company I keep
People my age
they don't do the things I do
they go somewhere
while I run away with you
I got my friends
and I got my children, too
I got her love
she's got my love, too
I can't hear you
but I feel the things you say
I can't see you
but I see what's in my way
now I'm floatin'
'cause I'm not tied to the ground
words I've spoken
seem to leave a hollow sound
On the long plain
see the rider in the night
see the chieftain
see the braves in cool moonlight
Who will love them
when they take another life?
Who will hold them
when they tremble from the knife?
Voicemail numbers
on an old computer screen
rows of lovers
parked forever in a dream
screaming sirens
echoing across the bay
to the old boats
from the city far away
Homeless heroes
walk the streets of their hometown
rows of zeros
on a field that's turning brown
they play baseball
they play football under lights
they play card games
and we watch them every night
Need distraction
need romance and candlelight
need random violence
need entertainment tonight
need the evidence
want the testimony of
expert witnesses
on the brutal crimes of love
I was too tired
to see the news when I got home
pulled the curtain
fell into bed alone
started dreaming
saw the rider once again
in the doorway
where she stood and watched for him
watched for him
I'm not present
I'm a drug that makes you dream
I'm an aerostar
I'm a cutlass supreme
in the wrong lane
trying to turn against the flow
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean

Across the plain
flew the lone grey rider
Leather bag
pounding on his back
Above the clouds the moon
was climbing higher
A pack of wolves wanted
their money back
With folded arms
the chief stood watching
Painted braves
slipped down the hill
In his ears
the spirit talking
As they closed in
For an easy kill
At the house
the door was wide open
Wind blew
curtains off the rod
She was waiting and hoping
She was praying to her god
He was luckier than most men
He was barely in his prime
As she stood there
in the doorway
Her long dress flowing
Would he make it this time
[solo]
Over the hill
in the big green country
That's the place where
the cancer cowboy rides
Pure as the driven snow
before it got him
Sometimes I feel like
he's all right
Sometimes I feel
like a piece of paper
Sometimes I feel
like my own name
Sometimes I feel
different later
Sometimes I feel
I feel just the same
. . .

Saw your friend
working in this hotel
Says he used to know you when
And your dreams
Lucky as they seemed
They all
turned their back on him
Truth be known
Truth be known
Way I feel tonight
Living in
this back street town
'Bout my dreams
They all seem to fade
As soon as
I put my money down
Truth be known
When the fire
that once was your friend
Burns your fingers to the bone
And your song
meets a sudden end
Echoing
through right and wrong
Truth be known
Truth be known
. . .

There's a place called Downtown
Where the hippies all go
And they dance the charleston
And they do the limbo
Yeah the hippies all go there
'Cause they want to be seen
It's like a room
full of pictures
It's like a psychedelic dream
Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown at night
Downtown
Let's have a party
Downtown at night
Yeah it's
right around the corner
Up and down the hill
When you hear the band playin'
It's gonna give you a chill
Give your money to the gateman
Young blood in his eye
Hold on to your baby
When you slip into the sky
Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Hear the band playin'
Downtown all right
[solo]
Jimi's playin' in the back room
Led Zeppelin on stage
There's a mirror ball twirlin'
And a note from Page
Like a water-washed diamond
In a river of sin
Goin' down like a whirlpool
When you get sucked in
Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Hear the band playin'
Downtown all right
[solo]
Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Let's have a party
Downtown all right
. . .

Can't forget
what happened yesterday
Though my friends say
don't look back
I can feel it
coming through me
Like an echo
Like a photograph
. . .

Peace and love
Flying so high
Peace and love
Too young to die
Peace and love
Now you decide
Stay for the children
You don't really want to go
Can't feel it
pulling like you did
Peace and love
Peace and love
Only a ride
Strength is gone
Dying inside
Tell me now
What did you find
Found love in the people
Livin' in a sacred land
Found love in the people
Peace and love
Found love found hate
Saw my mistake
Broke walls of pain
to walk again
I saw the dream
I saw the wake
We shared it all
But not the take
Peace and love
Lennon's goodbye
Over Now
Living in time
A broken bell
A nursery rhyme
Deserted by heroes
Strangers in your own land
No way to deny you
No way to deny you
Peace and love
I took it all
I took the oath
I took it all
Til I had most
I took what's left
I gave it breath
I had it all once
I gave it back
. . .

Here in the conscious world
We place our theories down
Why man must bring us
to our knees
Before he sees the weakness
of his sinful plan
The power in his hand
Will never touch a friend
Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down
[solo]
Meanwhile in the underworld
The weaknesses are seen
By peasants and presidents
Who plan the counter-scheme
Children in the schoolyard
Finish choosing teams
Divided by their dreams
While a TV screams
Throw your weapons down
Throw your weapons down
[solo]
The wheel of fortune
Keeps on rollin' down
The street that's paved
with sinful plans
There but for circumstance
May go you or I
Dressed in gold lame
Find a place to stay
Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down
Throw your weapons down
. . .

Looking at the grave
At the scenery around you
Home of the brave
Sometimes they leave you
like they found you
Sometimes they worship you
Sometimes they
tear your houses down
Sometimes they comfort you
Sometimes they
spread your life around
Nothing you can see
That they
won't try to give you
Land of the free
Where the legend
will outlive you
When you earn their trust
When you are truly in danger
Where greed and lust
Have never been a stranger
[solo]
Home of the brave
That's where
heroes need protection
Media image slaves
Live by random selection
You sell your heart
But that's not
the price of freedom
Where things are useful
Only when you need them
Where will you go
When you need
to make some changes
Who will you love
In a world
of constant strangers
I'll go with you
If you want
to take a hero home
I'll stay behind
If you want
to take a hero home
Looking at the grave
At the scenery around you
Home of the brave
Sometimes they leave you
like they found you
[solo]
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
Home of the brave
. . .

Fallen angel
Who's your saviour tonight
You're surrounded
by these walls
and neon lights
Hungry people
move like waves
behind the beat
Where's the big drum
Where's the feel
of body heat
Where's the big drum
Where's the feel
of body heat
. . .
