TRAPPED AGAIN

TRAPPED AGAIN


Here I am baby, right where you found me
Trying to break these chains that surround me
If I look a little different, it's because Ive changed
Half-painted pictures are all that remains

I can't let my past mistakes
Let em bring me down
I aint waitin on no angel of mercy
Ive tried my best and I can't help myself

And Im trapped again
And I can't get out without losing you
And Im trapped again
Why can't you feel what Im going through
Im trapped again
I need an answer girl, can't you see
Im trapped again
Come and rescue me

Monday morning came so fast
What a fool to think that dreams would last
Close my eyes and it's still so clear
Remember the night girl, the world disappeared

Cant let the hand of fate
Let it drag me down
I can't get no angel of mercy
I cam to stay but I got swept away

And Im trapped again
And I can't get out without losing you
And Im trapped again
Why can't you feel what Im going through
Im trapped again
I need an answer girl, can't you see
Im trapped again
Come and rescue me

Cant let the hand of fate
Let it drag me down
I can't get no angel of mercy
I cam to stay but I got swept away

And Im trapped again
And I can't get out without losing you
And Im trapped again
Why can't you feel what Im going through
Im trapped again
I need an answer girl, can't you see
Im trapped again
Come and rescue me

And Im trapped again
And I can't get out without losing you
And Im trapped again
Why can't you feel what Im going through
Im trapped again

TROUBLE IN PARADISE

TROUBLE IN PARADISE


You do the drying, I'll do the dishes
Who'll do the crying when all the wishes don't come true
You do the washing, I'll do the folding
Whose heart is breaking
When whose arms are holding someone new
Sittin' ona peaceful lake sunnin'
Didn't hear the roar of the waterfall coming
When it's all a storybook story
When it's all so easy and nice
Here comes trouble in paradise

You did the dusting, I did the sweeping
You did the driving oh and I did the sleeping a little too long
On a picnic 'neath the sky so blue
We didn't see the rain and heartache coming through
When it's all an old black and white movie
And you're sure you've seen the ending twice
Here comes trouble in paradise

You sais everything was fine
I'm sorry, baby, I didn't see the signs
Oh so beautifully you read your lines
But in a play where the hero has no vice
And love comes without a price
So does trouble in paradise

Don't matter who did the dusting or who did the sweeping
Who did the trusting or who did the cheating when it's all gone
Laying in a field on a summer's day
Waitin'for those gary skies to clear away
Knowing all love's glory and beauty
Can vanish before you think twice
Leaving trouble in paradise

Now we share the laughing, we share the joking
We do the sleeping with one eye open

TROUBLE RIVER

TROUBLE RIVER


There's a river runs through this valley
Cold and deep and black
Comin' like a tombstone shadow across my back

(CHORUS)
Trouble river, six foot high and rising Trouble river, I can't keep from cryin'

I woke up last night shakin'
Shakin' from a dream
That all I seen was smiling faces staring back at me

(CHORUS)

Snakes crawling in the hi house I'm stuck in muddy ground
Tonight I'm gonna shed this skin
And I'll be breathin' free air now

(CHORUS)

TUNNEL OF LOVE

TUNNEL OF LOVE


Fat man sitting on a little stool

Takes the money from my hand while his eyes take a walk all over you

Hands me two tickets
smiles and whispers "good luck".
Well
cuddle up
angel
cuddle up
my little dove

We'll ride down
baby
into this tunnel of love.
Well
I can feel the soft silk of your blouse

And them
soft thrills in our little fun house.
Then the lights go out and it's just the three of us:
Yeah
you and me and all that stuff we're so scared of

Gotta ride down
baby
into this tunnel of love.
Well
there's a crazy mirror showing us both in 5-D

I'm laughing at you
you're laughing at me.
There's a room of shadows that gets so dark
brother

It's easy for two people to lose each other in this tunnel of love.

Well
it ought to be easy
ought to be simple enough
yeah

Man meets a woman and they fall in love

But this house is haunted and the ride gets rough.
You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above
If you want to ride on down
down in through this tunnel of love

This tunnel of love. This tunnel of love. This tunnel of love.

TURN TURN TURN

TURN TURN TURN


To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time
For every purpose
Under heaven

A time to be born
A time to die
A time to plant
A time to reap
A time to kill
A time to heal
A time to laugh
A time to weep

To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time
For every purpose
Under heaven

A time to build up
A time to break down
A time to dance
A time to mourn
A time to cast away
Stones
A time to gather
Stones together

To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time
For every purpose
Under heaven

A time of love
A time of hate
A time of war
A time of peace
A time
You may embrace
A time to refrain
From embracing

To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time
For every purpose
Under heaven

A time to gain
A time to lose
A time to rend
A time to sew
A time to love
A time to hate
A time for peace
I swear
It's not too late

TV MOVIE

TV MOVIE


I woke up last night shaking from a dream,
For in that dream I died
My wife rolled over and told me
That my life would be immortalized

Not in some major motion picture
Or great american novel you see
They're gonna make a TV Movie out of me

It's one two three you take the money
It's as easy as A, B, C
They're gonna make a TV Movie out of me

They can change my name or they can leave it
They can change my story too
Or they can make me black or Chinese
And do things that I never did do
They're gonna give my life a whole new ending
And put me in prime time first-run
And when it's over what I did there will be what I done

Now I don't want my name in a history book
Nobody's ever gonna see
They're gonna make a TV Movie out of me

It's one two three you take the money
It's as easy as A, B, C
They're gonna make a TV Movie out of me

Well I'm a shoe-in for a sponsor
Goodyear blimp and radial wheels
Somebody had a meeting somewhere
Somehow somebody made a deal
I was one of them kinds of stories
That everybody liked to see
They're gonna make a TV Movie out of me

Now I don t want no inscription on my grave stone
No long soliloquy
They're gonna make a TV movie out of me

It's one two three you take the money
It's as easy as A, B, C
They're gonna make a TV Movie out of me

TWEETER & THE MONKEY MAN

TWEETER & THE MONKEY MAN


Tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash,They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash,To an undercover cop who had a sister named jan.For reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man.Tweeter was a boy scout ?fore she went to vietnam,And found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn.They knew that they found freedom just across the jersey line,So they hopped into a stolen car, took highway 99.And the walls came down,All the way to hell.Never saw them when they?re standing,Never saw them when they fell.The undercover cop never liked the monkey man,Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can.Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named bill,She made secret calls to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill.It was out on thunder road, tweeter at the wheel,They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal.The undercover cop pulled up and said everyone of you?s a liar,If you don?t surrender now it?s gonna go down to the wire.And the walls came down,All the way to hell.Never saw them when they?re standing,Never saw them when they fell.An ambulance rolled up, a state-trooper close behind,Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind.The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree,Near the souvenir stand, by the old abandoned factory.Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit,He was taking the whole thing personal, he didn?t care about the loot.Jan had told him many times, it was you to me who taughtIn jersey anything?s legal, as long as you don?t get caught.And the walls came down,All the way to hell.Never saw them when they?re standing,Never saw them when they fell.Some place by rahwey prison they ran out of gas,The undercover cop had cornered them, said,Boy you didn?t think this could last? Jan jumped out of bed, said, there?s someplace I gotta go.She took the gun out of the drawer, said, it?s best that you don?t know.The undercover cop was found face down in a field,The monkey man was on the river bridge, using tweeter as a shield.Jan said to the monkey man, I?m not fooled by tweeter?s curl,I knew him long before he became a jersey girl.And the walls came down,All the way to hell.Never saw them when they?re standing,Never saw them when they fell.Now the town of jersey city is quieting down again,I?m sitting in a gambling club called the lion?s den.The tv set was blown up, every bit of it is gone,Ever since the nightly news showed that the monkey man was on.I guess I?ll go to florida and get myself some sun,There ain?t no more opportunity here, everything?s been done.Sometimes I think of tweeter, sometimes I think of jan,Sometimes I don?t think about nothing but the monkey man.And the walls came down,All the way to hell.Never saw them when they?re standing,Never saw them when they fell.

TWO FACES

TWO FACES


I met a girl and we ran away
I swore I'd make her happy every day
And how I made her cry
Two faces have i

Sometimes mister I feel sunny and wild
Lord I love to see my baby smile
Then dark clouds come rolling by
Two faces have i

One that laughs one that cries
One says hello one says goodbye
One does things I don't understand
Makes me feel like half a man

At night I get down on my knees and pray
Our love will make that other man go away
But hell never say goodbye
Two faces have i

Last night as I kissed you neath the willow tree
He swore he'd take your love away from me
He said our life was just a lie
And two faces have i
Well go ahead and let him try

TWO FOR THE ROAD

TWO FOR THE ROAD


It's one for the money and one for the show
I got one kiss for you honey so come on let's go
I didn't see it coming but girl now I know
It takes one for the running but two for the road

One thousand dreams whispered in the dark
But a dream's just a dream in one empty heart
It takes more than one to rev it up and go
So let's get it running, we're two for the road

Two one-way tickets and a diamond ring
Hell it don't matter what the rain might bring
When this world treats you hard and cold
I'll stand beside you, we're two for the road

When you're alone my love'll shine the light
Through the dark and starless night
I'll hold you close and never let you go
C'mon now girl 'cause we're two for the road
Well it's two to get ready, babe, c'mon let's go
Me and you, girl, we're two for the road

TWO HEARTS

TWO HEARTS


I went out walking the other daySeen a little girl crying along the way
She'd been hurt so bad she said she'd never love again
Someday your crying girl will endAnd you'll find once againCHORUS:
Two hearts are better than oneTwo hearts girl get the job done
Two hearts are better than oneOnce I spent my time playing tough guy scenes
But I was living in a world of childish dreams
Someday these childish dreams must endTo become a man and grow up to dream again
Now I believe in the end(CHORUS)Sometimes it might seem like it was planned
For you to roam empty hearted through this land
Though the world turns you hard and coldThere's one thing mister that I know
That's if you think your heart is stone
And that you're rough enough to whip this world alone
Alone buddy there ain't no peace of mind
That's why I'll keep searching till I find my special one
