"Heart Is Saved"

"Heart Is Saved"


Gamblin on instincts well here's what I found
Voice from my pocket starts pulling me down
Tells me my bucks ain't enough
And life doesn't have to be rough

But a little white cloud
Tells me what I crave
And the way I feel
Means my heart is saved
And the money goes 'round
And the babes are babes
And the way I feel
Means my heart is saved

Personally I like midwestern tows
I like the girls there and even the clowns
But now I've been out on the wheel
Out where you're worth what you steal
And I can't go back to a yesterday
No I can't turn back 'cause my heart is saved
And I gotta believe all night and all day
And when I believe my heart is saved

I'm weird and half-dead
There's a fortune in my head
Don't touch me
My heart is saved

Gamblin on instincts well here's what I found
Voice from my pocket starts pulling me down
Tells me my bucks ain't enough
And life doesn't have to be rough

But a little white cloud tells me what I crave
And the way I feel means my heart is saved
And I gotta believe all night and all day
And when I believe my heart is saved

"Hideaway"

"Hideaway"


I need to touch
a live unbeaten earth
so that's where i'm going
I know a town in N.W. Mexico
where the sun is gold and life exists
hideaway hideaway truly
hideaway hideaway truly

My country got
raped by big industry
we'll just have to wing it
the concrete strips raw greed and king tv
they say 'so what' i say 'so this'
hideaway hideaway truly
hideaway hideaway truly

I can hear children voices playing in a yard
when i hear children voices my feelings aren't so hard

Your honest face
your quiet simple grace
you are one thing
I will not waste
hideaway hideaway truly
hideaway hideaway truly

"High On You"

"High On You"


I like your wooden door, baby
I never want to leave, baby
If I could rule the night, baby
I'd turn it into white
There wouldn't ?

I'm getting high on you
I'm getting high on you
I'm getting high on you
High on you

I like your rugged cross, baby
I don't pray in churches, baby
I got nowhere to worship, baby
Because it isn't him
I don't need a ? man

I'm getting high on you
I'm getting high on you
I'm getting high on you
High on you

Terrorist in my heart
Tearin' it all apart
Terrorist in my heart
Tearin' it all apart

I love the way you feel, baby
The mornin' startin' drunk, baby
Drinking of your soul, baby
And everything I know
Digs the way your body glows

I'm getting high on you
I'm getting high on you
I'm getting high on you
High on you

I'm getting high on you
I'm getting high on you
I'm getting high on you
I'm getting high

Corrupting in the air
I really need you
You got two play rides
I really love them
My we're getting high
Are we getting high

"Highway Song"

"Highway Song"


I been walkin' down the road
what it means i dunno
i been walkin' down the highway
with the bad food flyin by me
i' m an ordinary man
with a time bomb in my hand
it keeps tickin' an i keep runnin
tryin to find out where i come from
and there ain' t nothin' gonna take this road away
nothin' gonna take this road away
nothin' gonna take this road outta my heart
nothin' gonna take this pain outta my heart

i wake up sweatin in the night
every town is only lights
i 'm addicted to the highway
'cuz i just can' t do things their way
and there ain' t nothin gonna take this road away
nothin gonna take that road away
nothin gonna take that road outta my heart

highway i' m doin fine
you help me draw the line
no use in bein alive
if i' m just rentin
i undersand the circus well
i' ve played the clown when down he fell
but bein' down ain' t bein' loser
so just look out here comes a bruiser
and there ain 't nothin gonna take my road away
nothin' gonna take my road away
nothin' gonna take my road outta my heart

"Home"

"Home"


I work so hard, so don't trip me up
Shakin' a leg like the tail o' the pup
I'm payin' dues till I register heat
Sure hope I don't end up on the street

Home, boy
Home, boy
Everybody needs a home
Home, boy
Home, boy
Everybody needs a home

So many people rise and fall
Who's lookin' after you at all?
Nobody knows anybody at all
Strangers in paradise down at the mall

Home, boy
Home, boy
Everybody needs a home
Home, boy
Home, boy
Everybody needs a home

The life we live is tricky tricky
I love my home, and my family
Who's gonna love you when the
Mountain gets steep?
We're gonna make it-in a Jeep

"Houston Is Hot Tonight"

"Houston Is Hot Tonight"


Bright lights, Houston is hot tonight
Arabian shieks and money, up in the sky
Now I don't mind, a bloodbath

When I've got oil, on my breath
[?] eye to eye
Houston is hot tonight

My brain is tired of the wind
Chicago winters, just do me in
They've got a moon man, on the telephone

Project X, hey, Houston control
[?] eye to eye, Houston
It's like, what's happening?

Houston is hot tonight
Houston is hot tonight
Houston is hot tonight
Houston is hot tonight

Houston is hot tonight
Houston is hot tonight
Houston is hot tonight

"How Do You Fix A Broken Part"

"How Do You Fix A Broken Part"


How do you fix a broken part
How come the sun's too bright to live
Tell me how to fix it

How do you fix a broken heart
Who said this life's too much to bear
Just tell me how to fix it

It's boken
It's broken

What good is it broken

What good is it

How can I fix this broken heart
How come the sun's too bright to bear
Anyway I fix it

So take off your hard hats boys
In a moment of silence

Yeah, get out the your toolbox boys
You'll fix me I know it

How do you fix it

Get out the toolbox boys
I know you can fix things

I know you can fix things
I know you can fix things
I know you can fix it
So how do you fix it
A broken heart
Fix my broken heart
Fix my broken heart [to fade]

"How Insensitive"

"How Insensitive"


How insensitive I must have seemed
When you told me that you loved me
How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
When you told me so sincerely

Why you might have asked
Did I just turn and stare away in icy silence?
What was I to do?
What can you do when a love affair is over?

Now I'm alone
And I see all the heartache in your last look
Vague and drawn and sad I see it still
All the memory of that last look

Why you might have asked
Did I just turn and went in icy silence?
What was I to do?
What can you do when a love affair is over?

 

[fox69]

"Howl"

"Howl"


Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowl
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowl
...

Fuck it
I feel like howling
Got nowhere to turn
They'll kill you
For your spirit
This is what you learn

The music of tomorrow is
What you feel today
The owners of the future
Is not the one they say

A montain of faces
Is rapin' my ear
I'm glad that my pride is
Stronger than my fear

I'm howling, baby
I'm howling, baby
Howling, baby

I knew the producer
He's got lots of tricks
He is the starmaker
The bands are little pricks

The music of tomorrow is
What you feel today
The owners of the future
Is not the one they say

A montain of faces
Is rapin' my ear
I'm glad that my pride is
Stronger than my fear

I'm howling, baby
I'm howling, baby
I'm howling, baby
I'm howling, baby
Howling, baby
Howling, baby
Howling, baby
Howling, baby
I'm howling, baby

"I Felt the Luxury"

"I Felt the Luxury"


She sat on the pavement
As I pulled in the drive
Wearing leopard skin velvet
And shiny black eyes
"She looks like a sleeper"
Said my wife at the time
She had curls like Delilah
And a smile like the sun
She held my poor corpse
Like she'd never be done
And the caption in my mind said
"This is the one"
But I'm strong and I'm disciplined
And I avoided her for years
'Till one night, as usual
With my heart full of tears
A hand touched my back
And she was standing right there
Then I felt the luxury of her
I felt the luxury of her
I felt the luxury of her
I felt the luxury
Whispering
Whispering

Now I'll try hard to tell things just like they is
How my life was a desert before she came in
And wrecked it and ripped it and rubbed my nerves thin
How I liked to see her little feet pad around the house
The way she curled up quietly on the couch
I can still see her in my mind that way now
Aah I felt the luxury of her
I felt the luxury of her
I felt the luxury of her

Well time went by quickly
And her confidence grew
And she wanted this and that
And she wanted those too
And she wouldn't shut up
And one day I just blew up
Now she's in the hospital
For the second time
Maybe she'll die
Maybe I'll cry
Therapists would say
"You're in denial"
But love became inconvenient
Love became a literal drag
Very bad for business
I'd be better off a fag
She's a model de sport
That I can't afford
'Cause I'm a practical American
From the Middle-West
And I can piss on a grave
While welcoming guests
If cold's what I am
I'm cold 'till the end
And I felt the luxury of her
I felt the luxury of her
Now I'm gonna continue walking
In the modern world
Which justifies every egotistical perversion
With scientific talk
And new ways to walk
But I'll remember the religion
She became to me
And the other person I could have been
So for now I'll say so long
I gotta go do wrong
I gotta go do wrong
I felt the luxury
I felt the luxury
I felt the luxury
Aah, Luxury
