"The Old Man Down The Road"

"The Old Man Down The Road"


He take a thunder from the mountain
He take a lightning from the sky
He bring a strong man to his begging knee
He make a young girl's mama cry

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump and run
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
The old man is down the road

He got the voices speak in riddles
He got the eye as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
And he stands right in the road

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump up, run away
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
The old man is down the road

He make the river call your lover
He make the barking of the hound
Put a shadow 'cross the window
When the old man comes around

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump and run again
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
The old man is down the road
The old man is down the road

Ah, you got to, you got to, you got to hidey-hidey-hide

"The Wall"

"The Wall"


Well thunder, lightning, strike me down, I do believe I see,
A ghostly figure on the ground, fallen to his knees.

[CHORUS:]
And the wall gets higher, so you could not see,
I said the wall gets higher, so you could not see.

Well the lightning flash, the cannon roar, the ground begin to shake,
The people wondered but they heard no more, but the Big Chief will not wait.

[CHORUS]
Well!

Well a beast so bad it put me to bed, but the air was thick and deep,
The people wonder but they heard no more, the mountain would not speak.

[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]

Run tonight, run tonight oh,
Risin' right now, risin' right now.

"Today I Started Loving You Again"

"Today I Started Loving You Again"


[CHORUS:]
Well, today I started lovin' you again,
I'm right back where I've really always been.
I got over you just long enough, to let my heartache mend,
Then today, I started lovin' you again.

What a fool I was to think I could get by,
With only these few million tears I've cried.
I should have known the worst was yet to come,
And that cryin' time for me, had just begun.

[CHORUS]

"Train Of Fools"

"Train Of Fools"


This train left the station
Quarter past midnight
A hundred souls taking their last ride
Each of them a traveler
Drifting through this life
Silent shadows passing in the night
Ride ride ride train of fools

One will take a journey
With eyes that cannot see
Nothing's gonna get to him today
One will use her beauty
And take just what she please
She'll lose it all when beauty fades away
Ride ride ride train of fools
Ride ride ride train of fools

One will be a rich man
At least that's what he'll say
Wast his life chasing after gold
One will be addicted
Chained to the devils cross
That one's gonna die before is hold
Ride ride ride
Train of fools

This one is a victim
A lost and broken child
Soon enough he'll be a man to hate
And those that point the finger
We'll also share the blame
No one leaves this train judgment day
Ride ride ride train of fools
Ride ride ride train of fools

On a midnight ride?

Here come that good ol' travelin' band once again mmm-hmmm
Back in the alley, lookin' like a long-lost friend, oh yeah.

"Up Around The Bend"

"Up Around The Bend"


There's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
Just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away, if you're goin'
Leave the sinkin' ship behind

Come on the risin' wind
We're goin' up around the bend
Ooh

Bring a song and a smile for the banjo
Better get, while the gettin's good
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway
Where the neon's turn to wood

Come on the risin' wind
We're goin' up around the bend
Ooh

You can ponder perpetual motion
Fix your mind on a crystal day
Always time for a good conversation
There's an ear for, what you say

Come on the risin' wind
We're goin' up around the bend
Yeah

Ooh

Catch a ride to the end of the highway
And we'll meet by the big red tree
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
Come along, come along with me

Come on the risin' wind
We're goin' up around the bend
Yeah

Do-do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do
Do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do
Yeah

Do-do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do
Do-do-doo

"Vanz Kant Danz"

"Vanz Kant Danz"


[CHORUS:]
Vanz can't dance, but he'll steal your money,
Watch him or he'll rob you blind. [X4]

[CHORUS]

Out in the street a crowd is gatherin',
Pushed down by the heat of the building, they're wantin' to dance.
Makin' their way up the street, a boy with a pig and a radio;
Little Billy can work on the crowd, put 'em into a trance,
For the little pig Vanz.

[CHORUS]

You're watchin' 'em dance, not a care in the world;
So Billy and Vanz get busy, they're makin' their move;
The little pig knows what to do, he's silent and quick, just like Oliver Twist;
Before it's over, your pocket is clean,
A four-legged thief paid a visit on you.

[CHORUS]

"Violence Is Golden"

"Violence Is Golden"


[CHORUS:]
Violence, (oh no!) is golden. Aa-aa-aa-aa-ah!
Violence, (oh no!) is golden. Aa-aa-aa-aa-ah!

Pass another plate of shrapnel, sprinkle it with TNT;
Gotta have another grenade salad, split it with your enemy.
Gotta sell another Uzi, maybe couple 44 Mags,
Got a wife and a kid to support, and a payment on the Jag.
Won't you try this personal bazooka, make you feel like a man,
Show the little girls what's what by the size of the thunder in your hands.
Take a pocketful of Teflon bullets, maybe 'nother Tommy gun,
Gotta keep stuff movin' out the door, got a business to run.
Take it from me, son - you can have a lot of fun!

[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]

Pass another fleet of B-1 bombers, grab an M-16,
Buildin' Chevies was never the fun of buildin' up the war machine.
Got a rocket in my pocket and it's ready, do you think we can deal?
Got a year-end sale goin' on, you can see the appeal;
'Cause I'm sellin' both sides of the fence, that be the name of the game,
I don't care about your silly little struggle, money's colored all the same.
Take a handful of Star Wars missiles, maybe super laser gun,
Gotta keep stuff movin' out the door, got a business to run.
Take it from me, son - we can have a lot of fun!

"Walking In A Hurricane"

"Walking In A Hurricane"


Shadows fallin' in my room
Ghost riders dancin' on the moon
Night is closin' in again

Clutchin' to my tremblin' bed
Call your name 'til I'm out of my head
Walkin' the backstreets
Lookin' for clues
I got to get you back
If it's the last thing I do

I'll go walkin' in a hurricane
I'll come crawlin' in a drivin' rain
I'll keep searchin' 'til I go insane
I got to have your love

Lookin' out across the lights
I know you're out there
Runnin' with the night
'Round and 'round
A moth to the flame
And when I finally got you home
It's just a matter of time 'til you're gone
Heartache and shadow draggin' you down
This chain around your heart
Gonna put you in the ground

I'll go walkin' in a hurricane
I'll come crawlin' in a drivin' rain
I'll keep searchin' 'til I go insane
I got to have your love

Everytime you go away
I got the same old wild goose chase
Hangin' on to misery
I should-a quit you long ago
Just packed it up and hit the road
I'm just a junkie
Addicted to the flame
I'm hooked on the danger
I can't quit this game

I'll go walkin' in a hurricane
I'll come crawlin' in a drivin' rain
I'll keep searchin' 'til I go insane
I got to have your love
