Thunder Album

She's working the late shift here downtow
In the guts of the city
She's got a room no money down
And it ain't to pretty
But she made up her mind
To leave it behind

Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be coming back for anyone
Now Amy's on the run

She's watching the young boys at the bar
All chiselled and felxing
She tells them a joke or two then stops
Just short of confessing
They know she's a man
They al understand

Why Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be coming back for anyone
Now Amy's on the run

So she dreams of the day
With everything she scrimps and saves
They're gonna change her all the way
And it's not a crime
It's just that nature got it wrong this time
This time

She made up her mind
To leave it behind

Amy had to run, it's alright
She's having fun in another life
And she won't be coming back for anyone, anyone
Now Amy's on the run

You got it going on and you know it
The Mirror really loves you tonight
She won't stand a chance for a moment
You're working up an appetite

You think you've got the situation
Totally under control
You're bursting with anticipation
But there's one thing you gotta know

You're a slave to the gods of love
A slave to the gods of love
You think you've got it made
On'y if you've prayed enough
To the gods of love

Ever wondered where's the logic?
When you ugly thing who's really dim
Meets a beautifuk intelligent woman
Who ends up oing home with him

We're al slave to the gods of love
Slaves to the gods of love
They've got you on a string
That's why everything's so tough
Blame the gods of love

But what can you do?
It's their game played out by me and you
On a whim they contrive
To make otr break your little life

You got it going on and you know it
The Mirror really loves you tonight
She won't stand a chance for a moment
You're working up an appetite

You think you've got the situation
Totally under control
You're bursting with anticipation
But there's one thing you gotta know

You're a slave to the gods of love
Slave to the gods of love
You think you've got it made
Only if you've prayed
Slave to the gods of love
Slave to the gods of love
They've got you on a string
That's why everything is so tough
Blame the gods of love

Tired and weary and fraying at the seams
So disillusioned
I'd forgotten how to dream for just a while
I knew a change would have to come.
So wrapped up in myself
That I couldn't see the truth
But the moment I looked up
I knew I'd seen the future in your eyes
And my life had just begun.

Cos they can take away the sun and rain
And everything I've ever owned
Let them have it all
Cos you give me something more
A love worth dying for.

It's been such a long time since I felt so strong inside
I know you're the reason
And the words can't quite express the way I feel
But they're all I have to use.
Oh!
Cos there ain't nothing in this Universe
Can hold a candle next to you
And now my life's complete
Since you opened up the door
With a love worth dying for.

In the morning when the sunlight hits your face
It's such a beautiful collision that nothing could replace.

Cos they can take away the sun and rain
And everything I've ever owned
Let them have it all
Cos you give me something more…
Oh Baby!
Cos there ain't nothing in this Universe
Can hold a candle next to you
And now my life's complete
Since you opened up the door
With a love worth dying for.

Don't try to tell me it's gonna be ok
When the Truth is plain to see
Cos if I take a look out of my own front door
I can see the way it's gonna be
And that's not what you're telling me
Hey!

I see people being beaten in the streets
And the system won't protect them
Cos in better times all kinds of evil lay asleep
'Til the wind of fear can resurect them

How many more lives will it take ?
Cos our history could teach us a lot about today

So it's one step forward and two steps back
There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back
The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack
Cos the future train's coming down the hill
And we're tied to the track

I see a leader with an agenda to hide
Fanning the flames of this confusion
Turning fear into hatred, stirring something deep down inside
And he says there's only one solution
Look through that tangled web they weave
That air of freedom is everybody's right to breathe

So it's one step forward and two steps back
There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back
The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack
Cos the future train's coming down the hill
And we're tied to the track

How many more lives will it take ?
Cos our history could teach us a lot about today

So it's one step forward and two steps back
There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back
The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack
Cos the future train's coming down the hill
And we're tied to the track

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Looking daggers at the sun
Counting each moment, that drags on and on
Praying for the night to come
Waiting just to see, if it's gonna be

It could be tonight
It could be tonight
If the stars all align, at the right place in time
Then it could be tonight

Laying my feelings open wide
It's never been easy, they've always been denied
But there's something in your eyes
And it's reaching out to me, I can't wait to see, yeah

It could be tonight
It could be tonight
I've been waiting so long, and if I don't get it wrong
Then it could be tonight
Mmm, oh

I guess you wouldn't need to read my mind
to know the way I feel inside
Baby, I know it's your decision
So make it right
Oh, make it right

It could be tonight
It could be tonight
If the stars all align, at the right place in time
It could be tonight, oh yeah
I've been waiting so long, and if I don't get it wrong
Then it could be tonight, mmm
Baby in the morning

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Then it could be tonight
The stars all align
Oh it could be tonight, oh baby
Oh it could be tonight baby
Baby in the morning

I wish I could find a way to make it right
I wish I could see an end to this fight
'Cos all I want is a restful sleep tonight

Maybe we're both to blame, I don't know
Or maybe we're both afraid of letting go
Just like a fire that's burning low
The flames are dying, and I can really feel the cold

'Cos I don't care who's wrong or who's right
I can't stand another day, I can't stand another day
All we're doing is wasting out time, just carrying on
When the thrill of it all is gone

I'd rather live all alone, than live in hell
'Cos it feels like I'm doing time, in this prison cell
These four walls, the stories they could tell
But they're in the past, yeah, and we both know it well

'CosI don't care who's wrong or who's right
I can't stand another day, I can't stand another day
All we're doing is wasting out time, carrying on
When the thrill of it all is gone

'Cos if you cast your mind back to the way it was before
I couldn't live without you for a day
And I don't want to kid myself, the truth is plain to see
It's time we turned and went our separate ways

I wish I could find a way to make it right
I wish I could an end to this fight
Why don't we say our long good-byes
and walk away, while we still both have our pride

'Cos I don't care who's wrong or who's right
I can't stand another day, I can't stand another day
'Cos all we're doing is wasting out time, carrying on
When the thrill of it all is gone

Ooh, why don't we say good-bye?
(the thrill of it all is gone)
The candle's low, I've gotta go (the thrill of it all s gone)
Got to say good-bye
(the thrill of it all is gone)
You know, I know baby

Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away
Goodbye Johnny, is there nothing I can say?
To make you think it over, maybe change your mind and stay
Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away

And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, 'cause there's something about you

Goodbye Johnny, it was different at the start
But she called you bluff and tore your life apart
And as I watched you crumble, I could hear your breaking heart
Goodbye Johnny, now it's different from the start

And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, 'cause there's something about you

You're making a sacrifice, well that's alright
But sooner or later there may come a time
when you see your life and it don't belong to you
'cause you caved in under presure, now what you gonna do?
Don't throw your life away!

Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away (Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away)
Goodbye Johnny, is there nothing I can say? (Goodbye Johnny, is there nothing I can say?)
to make you think it over, maybe change your mind and stay
Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go away
(Goodbye Johnny, sad to see you go)

And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, don't throw your lifaway
And it's so unfair, you had something there
And it's so unfair, 'cause there's something about you
There's something about you
Something about you
There's something about you now
Something
'Cause there's something about you
Something about

She can't see him stumbling through the door
She don't hear him laying down the law
She can't feel him strike her to the floor
She can't reach him, there's no use anymore

Tells herself she's still the man she loves
She cries till the river runs dry
And he'll be sorry when the morning comes
She cries till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry

She remembers the way it used to be
They were young then amd life was so carefree
Every mountain was small enough to climb
She hangs on to every memory sublime

As he slips into a restless sleep
She cries till the river runs dry
And she blames the whole world for his scars so deep
She cries till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry

There were so many times before,
When she'd walked right out the door
She's tried so hard to leave him
But when she sees him breaking down
He knows she'll come around
She can't see past his tears, or all those years

Tells herself she's still the man she loves
She cries till the river runs dry
And he'll be sorry when the morning comes
She cries till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry

Till the river's all run dry

She can't reach him
There's no use anymore

You tell me there's one thing, tearing down the love that we have
And how you sacrificed something, that you'll never live the dreams that you have
So if I stare at the floor, the same as before
Please forgive me, I can't hear you any more

Something's going on in my head, but I'm not there
like I'm drifting away
And something going on in my heart, but I don't care
I can't face it again, I'm numb with the pain that I feel

I don't know what I did, but I never held you back like you claim
Now that I see, I guess some one's gotta shoulder your blame
And everything that you said, every bitter regreat
Every poison arrow is flying over my head

Well, something's going on in my head, but I'm not there
like I'm drifting away
And something going on in my heart, but I don't care
I can't face it again, I'm numb with the pain that I feel

Numb with pain that I feel

Uh, mmm, yeah

If I stare at the floor, the same as before
Please forgive me, I can't listen anymore

Well, something's going on in my head, but I'm not there
like I'm drifting away
And something going on in my heart, but I don't care
I'm numb with the pain that I feel

(Something's going on in my head) Numb with the pain I feel
(something going on in my heart, but I don't care) Numb with the pain I feel

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca-Cola
C-O-L-A, Cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
L-O-L-A, Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine, oh my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man, oh my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"
Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes, well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well, that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Well, I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man"

Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
