"Blinded By Love"

"Blinded By Love"


Blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love

We're fallin' apart
And we never saw it coming
I guess we ignored every sign
Blinded by love
We both closed our eyes
And as we were drowning
We were both smiling

We're blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels
To be blinded by love

What becomes of two people
Who don't see things the same way
But don't wanna hurt an old friend
Careful with words that might show our hand
Guess we're blinded by love till the end

Blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love

"Blood From The Bandit"

"Blood From The Bandit"


Lightning strikes more than twice
Thru the clouds to break the ice
And show us something better
We all chose to compromise
We kill out skills we robotize
Acid waste draws kids and flies
And diamonds turn to granite

Number one
Money buys anything anytime
Number one
The absurd the sublime
Look at all the things we take for granted
Blood from the bandit

Look at all the things we take for granted
Blood from the bandit

Number one
Money buys anything anytime

"Bon Voyage"

"Bon Voyage"


Imagining the rainbow
Trying to fit it in the sense of things
That might have been
Looking for the green flash
Hitting milliseconds just before the sun goes in

Bon Voyage
When you find the one
Don't let her go
Like you're letting me go

Bon Voyage
After all this time you'd think
We'd know
Why are you letting me go

A magic in the moonlight
In a bar beside the ocean
Where we used to meet
Caught up in our circumstance
We spin out wheels just
Waiting for the string to break

I see your face in windows on the Seine
I'm still sitting in a cafe where
You said you'd wait
Like some romantic moment on the screen
You'd come running through that door
And then you're gone again

Bon Voyage
When you find the one
Don't let her go
Like you're letting me go

Bon Voyage
After all this time you'd think
We'd know
Why are you letting me go

"Brass & Batons"

"Brass & Batons"


Take heart the pages turning fast
I'll be waiting here in the hourglass
There's a fire in the heartland
There is a dream on every door
When the past is a brass band
Then you know what you're shooting for

Brass & batons they fade away
They're only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they're gone

And the river keeps changin'
Johnny works harder every day
Got an eye on the good life
Fortune's just a day away
Sundial with a great hand
Sweeping dust across the floor
Puts the strain on a sane man
Til he knows what he's looking for

Brass & batons they fade away
They're only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they're gone

New moon in the evening
Playing tricks on my mind
I swear I felt you heavy breathing
On my neck a thousand times
So let's play it like we used to
Play it sweet and then
I'll meet you in the spotlight
When it comes 'round again

Brass & batons they fade away
They're only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they're gone
And their gone

"Break The Rules Tonite (Out Of School)"


Now hold on honey where did you come from
I never been so made about anyone
Smile lights up like a radio dial
You got no fashion but you sure got style

Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight

Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late

I wanna hover you honey in a one way trap
Get you cornered in a cul-de-sac
My resistance just left the room
It's cold outside and there's a big ol' moon

Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
I won't tell 1et's break the rules tonight

When you love somebody that you can't have
It's hell boy it's hell
When ya need somebody and you feel so bad
'Cause he's so good and he's so damn bad
Let's stay out late I won't tell

And everybody says I told you so
But I don't care
'Cause it's too late
Here you come
And I can wait

Let's break the rules tonight

Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell 1et's break the rules tonight

"Breakin' Away From Sanity"

"Breakin' Away From Sanity"


Nearly every nite I stay awake
And I don't understand it myself
Livin' on the edge-it's almost real
You can't depend on me

I'm breakin' away from sanity
Showin' the ghost inside of me
I'm running away
From you and me
Breakin' away from sanity
Breakin' away from sanity

I talk to myself when you're not there
Oh if you could read my mind
I'm chained to nothin'
But it's all chained to me
You can't depend on me

I'm breakin' away from sanity
Showin' the ghost inside of me
I'm running away
From you and me
Breakin' away from sanity
Breakin' away from sanity

Nearly every night I stay away
And I don't understand it myself

"Chain Letter"

"Chain Letter"


Outta her head
And outta her dreams
There he was just the way she'd seen him
Lookin' at her a thousand times before

She said I can't believe
It's been five long years
'Cause tonight they just seen to disappear
You still look the same
You haven't changed at all

She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
'Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
'Cause we're hot as a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

He said I still remember
Her sweet perfume
When it filled his head
And it rocked the room
They walked the wire of passion
So alive

It's hard to hold on
In these times
Did one of us change
Was it yours or mine
You just can't imagine
How lonely I've been

Oh, take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
'Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
'Cause we're hot as a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

We chase our hearts like open fires
Give ourselves to old desires
Surrender sweet
And here we go again

She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
'Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
'Cause we're hot as a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

Oh, take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
'Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
'Cause we're wild, wild horses running again

Oh, take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
'Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

"Changin'"

"Changin'"


Just before you go could we talk a while
Maybe my ol' face could make you smile
I know you haven't said all that's on your mind
We always used to keep an open line

People keep on changin'
So everyone's got to bend
I'll keep waiting
Love will come around again
You've already broken me down
And feelin's the way I do
I'm gonna miss you I'm gonna miss you

Try to hold the sun when it's sinking low
Try to keep away the lonely night
Try to make you stay when you wanna go
And nothin' that I say can make things right

People keep on changin'
So everyone's got to bend
I'll keep waiting
Love will come around again
You've already broken me down
And feelin's the way I do
I'm gonna miss you I'm gonna miss you

Just before you go could we talk a while
Maybe my ol' face could make you smile
Guess every dream is just like sand in the hand
Hold it too hard and it's gone

People keep on changin'
So everyone's got to bend
I'll keep waiting
Love will come around again
You've already broken me down
And feelin's the way I do
I'm gonna miss you I'm gonna miss you

"Checkin' Out The Ghosts"

"Checkin' Out The Ghosts"


The wind blows cold and the river swells
And the new moon's going wild
And the walls grow thin
It's the state I'm in
You'll just have to excuse me tonight

Cause I'm just checkin' out the ghosts
Checkin' out the ghosts

We wake the beast when we stir the fire
We just can't let it be
After all these years sometimes I still want you near
And it runs bone deep

Cause I'm just checkin' out the ghosts
Seeing if they're still here
Hiding in the closet
Cause its helly in here

Checkin' out the ghosts
I'm just checkin' out the ghosts

I'm just checkin' out the ghosts
Seeing if they're still here
Hiding in the closet
Weighing down the air

Just checkin' out the ghosts
Sleeping in my bed
Running down my back
Messing up my head

I'm just checkin' the ghosts
Just checkin' out the ghost
I'm just checkin' out the ghosts

"Crazy In Love"
(originally by Joe Cocker)

"Crazy In Love"
(originally by Joe Cocker)



Ain't funny how time
Steals the feelings from a love affair
And there's no place to lay the blame
Cause it ain't a case of no one cares
Helplessly we just watch it fade away
Neither of us will admit it
But we're both aching to say

Weeooh I miss the days when we were
Crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
And I had my little jealousies
Weeooh bring back the days when we were
Crazy in love
I want to feel that way again
Remember when
We were crazy in love

It used to be so easy
One touch and I was high
I could get intoxicated
Just by looking in your eyes
Baby ain't there anything we can do
Cause I know you're missing me
As much as I've been missing you

Weeooh I miss the days when we were
Crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
And I had my little jealousies
Weeooh bring back the days when we were
Crazy in love
I want to feel that way again
Remember when
We were crazy in love

We were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love
