"Nothing Left"

"Nothing Left"



Woke up inside myself this morning, uncertainty all around
Got straight and turned on to some happiness, then I lay back down, all there was around
Nothing left but ashes, and the smell

Went down to the corner drug store, the pain was more than I could bare
They told me that I was illegal, I told them I don't care, let them stand and stare
Nothin' left but old bones, and the smell

I know I can't go on, I just can't stand the pain, can't stand the pain,
I know I just can't stand, guess I'll go insane, go insane

Guess I was born to be mistreated, contentment seems too hard to find
Searchin' for some understandin', then I lost my mind, left it far behind
Nothing left but memories, and the smell

"On The Limb"

"On The Limb"



Down on the limb
Down on the limb
I didn't want to go this far
My branch is gettin' thin

(Dont you know that I'm)

Out on a limb
I'm scared on the limb
I really hope it's not too late
Somehow there's got to be a way back and

I'm near the end
Without a friend
I'm on a limb

Though was the coolest thing
The brightest place in town
I could turn your head around
It used to be so easy

All the games were so much fun
I hate to bring you down
But things keep changing all the time
It used to be so easy

(Listen for it but it's gettin' harder to remember all the time).

Out on a limb
Out on a limb
This isn't what I had in mind
The ice is gettin' thin

(Dont you know that I'm)

Out on a limb
I'm scared on the limb
I really hope it's not too late
Somehow there's got to be a way back and

I'm near the end
Without a friend
I'm on a limb

Try to keep above it all
Outside lookin' in
Carefull are you find yourself
Seekin' past the bottom

My hole life's descent passed
Right before my eyes
Someone loosen up the neurals
I'm seekin' past the bottom

(harder all th time)

Out on a limb
Out on a limb
Just might be my time has come
It looks like they might win

(Dont you know that I'm)

Out on a limb
I'm scared on the limb
I really hope it's not too late
Somehow there's got to be a way back and

I'm near the end
Without a friend
I'm on a limb

I'm on a limb

(Someone get me down)

(Take me down)

"One Step At A Time"

"One Step At A Time"



My baby told me got to take one step at a time
You know my baby told me got to take one step at a time
She got a crazy way of walking 'bout to drive me outta my mind

She never steps out, always walking proud
Lady never steps out and she's always walking proud
Well the way the woman moves makes me want to scream out loud

Well she step to the left, she step to right
She walk all day, man she run all night
My baby told me take one step at a time

Well she got a way of walking 'bout to drive me outta my mind
Yes, yes, play a while
She don't move too fast, she don't move too slow
She always knows the way I wants to go

Baby told me got to take one step at a time
Yes, that's what she told me
She got a way of walking 'bout to drive me outta my mind

"One Step Forward (Two Steps Back)"

"One Step Forward (Two Steps Back)"



Every time I try to get a break
It's unlucky, find myself, center stage
When I think I'm on the right track
I take one step forward and two steps back

Every time I try to get ahead
There's lots a people that are being mislead
That is why what I'm wearing is black
I take one step forward and two steps back

I can't seem to find it, can't even see the trees
Am I hard pressed in the knees?
I struggle for this one, reach out for that
I take one step forward and two steps back

One step forward and two steps back
I take one step forward and two steps back, yeah

"Pick Up On My Mojo"

"Pick Up On My Mojo"



When I think about my baby
She almost drives me wild
She's so clean but she's so mean
She was born the devil's child

Gonna pick up on my mojo
Black cat bone and gris-gris, too
(Yeah)
I ain't about to take no chances
If I'm gonna mess around with you
(I don't take no chances)

Built for satisfaction
She got everything I need
I been checkin' out the action
She built for comfort and for speed

Gonna pick up on my mojo
Black cat bone and gris-gris, too
(You've got everything I need)
I ain't about to take no chances
If I'm gonna mess around with you

(Come on!)

(All right!)

Bring down lightning from the sky
I should leave that woman
But she keeps me satisfied

Gonna pick up on my mojo
Black cat bone and gris-gris, too

If I'm gonna mess around with you

"Please Come Home For Christmas"
(originally by Charles Brown)

"Please Come Home For Christmas"
(originally by Charles Brown)



Bells will be ringing this sad sad news
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candle light
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Years night

Friends and relations
Send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas

Yeah, it's Christmas my dear
It's the time of year to be with the one you love

So won't you tell me
You'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year
Will find you home
There be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy, once again

Oh, there be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I'll be happy, Christmas, once again

"Prodigal Son"

"Prodigal Son"


Shine on, prodigal son.
Gotta have your morning glory
Keep on having your fun
It'll be the same old story soon.
Soon it will be afternoon
Sun getting hot as a fine
Never mind.

Keep on watching the sky
Keep on waiting to die
Keep on wondering why
Afternoon
Afternoon

Burn on, celestial star
Burn away the times that find you
Move on wherever you are
[?] do the thing that one will find you here
You won't have nothing to fear
but time slipping away
day by day

Keep on watching the sky
Keep on waiting to die
Keep on wondering why
Afternoon
Afternoon

Shine bright prodigal son
Rushed off to your happy ending
Good night, celestial one
No use wasting time pretending now
Now that you [?]
Hating the time and the space?
Lose that race

Keep on watching the sky
Keep on waiting to die
Keep on wondering why
Afternoon
Afternoon

"Raised On Rock"

"Raised On Rock"



I remember as a child I used to hear
Music that they played with a feel
Some call it folk, some call it soul
People, let me tell you it was rock and roll

I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul
Every day when I get home I turn on my radio

And listen to the music that my idols made
I knew every single record the DJ's played
The 'Honky Tonk', 'Hound Dog', 'Johnny B. Goode'
'The Chain Gang', 'Love Is Strange', 'Knock On Wood'

I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat of that thing called rock and roll, yeah

They thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass
But the younger generation they knew it would last
Time gone by, the beat goes on
And every time I hear it, it takes me home

I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul
Every day when I get home I turn on my radio

Mama played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth
Moonlight Sonata down the classical Liszt
Daddy loved to listen to his country songs
I was in the back room diggin' the Stones

I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat of that thing called rock and roll
I was raised on rock, got that rhythm in my soul
Every day when I get home I turn on my radio, radio
