"She's A Healer"

"She's A Healer"



There ain't no way
I'm gonna let the good times go,
There ain't no way
I'm gonna let the good times go,
The touch of my woman
can soothe my soul,
When she makes me feel right
that's when the good times roll.

Oh she's a healer to me,
Oh yeah.

My blue-eyed woman is a mystery to me,
My blue-eyed woman is a mystery to me,
The touch of my woman
can soothe my soul,
When she makes me feel right
that's when the good times roll.

Oh she's a healer to me,
Oh yeah.

Way out on the prairie
where the wheat fields grow,
Way out on the prairie
back where the wheat fields grow,
I stop to slap plastic at an Esso station,
About a thousand miles from my destination.

Oh she's a healer to me,
Oh yeah, she's a healer to me.

All I got is a broken heart,
And I don't try to hide it
when I play my guitar.

My blue-eyed woman is a healer to me,
Without that woman I'm history,
My blue-eyed woman is a love ghost,
Without that woman I'm toast.

Oh she's a healer to me,
Oh yeah, she's a healer to me.

All I got is a broken heart,
And I don't try to hide it
when I play my guitar.

"She's Always Dancing"

"She's Always Dancing"



She wants to live without ties to bind her down
She wants to dance with her body left at ground
She wants to spin, and she lives in her own world
She wants to dream like she was a little girl

She's always dancing
She's always dancing
She's always dancing
She's always dancing
She's always dancing

Now and forever

From palm to palm
From hand to hand
Floating in the air she looks to find him there

She wants to live without ties to bind her down
She wants to dance with her body left at ground
She wants to spin, and she lives in her own world
She wants to dream like she was a little girl

She likes to burn
She likes to burn
She likes to burn
She likes to burn
She likes to burn

Out on the edge
That's when she gives
That's where she lives
Floating in the smoke
She says it gives her hope

She has the fire
She has the fire
She has the fire
She has the fire
She has the fire

But it's burning out
From hand to hand
From palm to palm
floating in the air, she tries to hold it there

She wants to spin, and she lives in her own world
She wants to dream like she was a little girl
She's always dancing
She wants to live without ties to bind her down
She's always dancing
She wants to dance with her body left at ground
She's always dancing
She's always dancing
She's always dancing
She's always dancing now and forever

"Shining Light"

"Shining Light"



Shining light
You always show me
You always guide me
I don't know where I'm going
Show me now
I'm waiting to see
I'm waiting to feel
Around me again

Show me your love
Show me your kind love
Share your compassion
Let me feel mine
Share your light
All around
Now that you've found me
And I've found you

Shining light
What will you show me now?
What can bring to you
To stand in your glory?
Shining light
When will you show your love?
When can I see you
And stand in your glory?

Shed your light
Show your love
Shed your light
Show your love
Shed your light
Show your love

Shining light
What will you show me now?
What can I bring to you
To stand in your glory?
Shining light
When will you show your love?
When can I see you
To stand in your glory?

Shed your light
Show your love
Shed your light
Show your love
Shed your light
Show your love
Shed your light
Show your love
Shed your light
Shed your light

"Shock And Awe"

"Shock And Awe"



Back in the days of shock and awe
We came to liberate them all
History was the cruel judge of overconfidence
Back in the days of shock and awe

Back in the days of "mission accomplished"
Our chief was landing on the deck
The sun was setting on a golden photo op
Back in the days of "mission accomplished"

Thousands of bodies in the ground
Brought home in boxes to a trumpet's sound
No one sees them coming home that way
Thousands buried in the ground

Thousands of children scarred for life
Millions of tears for a soldier's wife
Both sides are losing now
Heaven takes them in
Thousands of children scarred for life

We had a chance to change our mind
But somehow wisdom was hard to find
We went with what we knew and now we can't go back
But we had a chance to change our mind.

"Shots"

"Shots"



Shots
Ringing all along the borders
can be heard
Striking out
like a venom in the sky
Cutting through the air
faster than a bird
In the night.

Children
Are lost in the sand,
building roads
with little hands
Trying to join
their father's castles
together again
Will they make it?
Who knows where or when
Old wounds will mend?

Machines
Are winding their way along,
looking strong
Building roads
and bringing back
loads and loads
Of building materials
In the night

Men
Are trying to move the borders
on the ground
Lines between the different spots
that each has found
But back home
another scene was going down
In the night.

Lust
Comes creepin' through the night
to feed on hearts
Of suburban wives
who learned to pretend
When they met their dream's end
In the night.

Shots
I hear shots, I keep hearing shots
I keep hearing shots
I hear shots.

Shots
I hear shots, I keep hearing shots
I keep hearing shots
I hear shots.

But I'll never use your love,
You know I'm not that kind
And so if you give your heart away
I promise to you
Whatever we do
That I will always be true.

"Sign Of Love"

"Sign Of Love"



When we go for a little walk,
Out on the land,
When we're just walkin' and holdin' hands,

You can take it as a sign of love,
When the winds of fate,
Keep blowin' and we both understand,

Sign of love
It's a sign of love
Sign of love
Sign of love

When we both have silver hair,
And a little less time,
But there still are roses on the vine,

You can take it as a sign of love,
When I look at you,
When I'm lookin' at you for a long, long time

It's a sign of love,
A sign of love,
Sign of love,

Sign of love

When I first saw you,
You were just a girl,
And I was a man,
While the music played,
I watched you dance,

Sign of love
It was a sign of love
Sign of love
Sign of love
Sign of love

"Silver And Gold"

"Silver And Gold"



Workin' hard every day
Never notice how
the time slips away
People come, seasons go
We got something
that'll never grow old.

I don't care
if the sun don't shine
And the rain keeps pouring
down on me and mine
'Cause our kind of love
never seems to get old
It's better than silver and gold.

I used to have a treasure chest
Got so heavy that I had to rest
I let it slip away from me
Didn't need it anyway
so I let it slip away.

I don't care
if the sun don't shine
And the rain keeps pouring
down on me and mine
'Cause our kind of love
never seems to get old
It's better than silver and gold.

I don't care
if the sun don't shine
And the rain keeps pouring
down on me and mine
'Cause our kind of love
never seems to get old
It's better than silver and gold.

"Since I Met You Baby"

"Since I Met You Baby"



Since I met you baby, my whole life has changed
Since I met you baby, my whole life has changed
And everybody tells me that I am not the same

I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
Cause since I met you baby, all I need is you

Since I met you baby, I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby, I'm a happy man
I'm gonna try to please you in every way I can

"Singer Without A Song"

"Singer Without A Song"



She's a singer without a song she's livin'
Driftin' on her melody of gold
Looking for the words behind her feelin'
She's ready for a woman to unfold

But something lingers out there in the distance
Like a phone call no-one wants to make
Like an answer to the question no-ones askin'
Like a chance no-one seems to take

She's a singer without a song she's livin'
She's a singer without a song she's livin'
She's a singer without a song she's livin'
Trying to ride the hook home

Now she feels it slippin' through her fingers
As she holds the crowd in her hand
If only someone would believe her
She could sing the words that they could understand

Still they want desperately to love her
As she sings their heartbeat with all her soul
All she needs is the words behind her feelin'
And she's waiting for a moment to unfold

She's a singer without a song she's livin'
She's a singer without a song she's livin'
She's a singer without a song she's livin'
Trying to ride the hook home

She's a singer without a song she's livin'
She's a singer without a song she's livin'
She's a singer without a song she's livin'
Trying to ride the hook home

"Sixty To Zero"

"Sixty To Zero"



All the champs and the heroes
They got a price to pay
They go from sixty to zero
In the split of a hair
They see the face in the window
They feel a shadow out there
They've got the places they can go
They've got the people who stare
They've got to walk in their shoes
They've got to see what they see
They've got the people around them
Getting too much for free
All the pimps and the dealers
All the food they can eat
All the screamers and squealers
When they walk down the street
Yeah.

He's just a rich old man
He never cared for anyone
He likes to count his possessions
He's been a miser from penny one
He never cared for his children
Never cared for his wife
Never made anyone happy
That's the way he lived his life
And one day in the sunshine
He got a bolt from the blue
Unloaded all of his possessions
Sold his investments too
And now he lives with the homeless
Owns 900 hospital beds
He prefers to remain nameless
It's publicity he dreads
Yeah.

There's a judge in the city
He goes to work every day
Spends his life in the courthouse
Keeps his perspective that way
But I respect his decision
He's got a lot on his mind
He's pretty good with the gavel
A little heavy on the fines
One day there was this minstrel
Who came to court on a charge
That he blew someone's head off
Because his amp was too large
And the song he was singin'
Was not for love but for cash
Well, the judge weighed the charges
He fingered his mustache
Yeah.

Well, there's a clown in a carnival
He rode a painted horse
He came from somewhere out west
He was very funny of course
But that is not what I noticed
It was the incredible force
With which he held his audience
While he rode on his horse
His jokes were not that off-color
His smile was not that sincere
His show was not that sensational
Reasons for success were not clear
But he still made big money
One day the circus was his
Now he's married to the acrobat
And they're training their kids
Yeah.

Now the jailhouse was empty
All the criminals were gone
The gate was left wide open
And a buck and fawn
Were eating grass in the courtyard
When the warden walked in
And took a rifle
from the prison guard
And said to him with a grin
To shoot those deer
would be stupid, sir
We already got 'em right here
Why not just
lock the gates and keep them
With intimidation and fear?
But the warden pulled the trigger
And those deer hit the ground
He said Nobody'll
know the difference
And they both looked around.
Yeah.

Well, the cop made the showdown
He was sure he was right
He had all of the lowdown
From the bank heist last night
His best friend was a robber
And his wife was a thief
All the children were murderers
They couldn't get no relief
The bungalow was surrounded
When a voice loud and clear
Come out with your hands up
Or we're gonna blow you out of here
There was a face in the window
TV cameras rolled
And they cut to the announcer
And the story was told.
Yeah.

Well, the artist
looked at the producer
The producer sat back
He said What we have got here
Is a pretty good track
But we don't have a vocal
And we still don't have a song
If we could
get this thing accomplished
Nothin' else could go wrong
So he balanced the ashtray
And he picked up the phone
And said Send me a songwriter
Who's drifted far from home
And make sure that he's hungry
And make sure he's alone
And send me a cheeseburger
And a new Rolling Stone
Yeah.

Well, the Sioux in Dakota
They lost all of their land
And now a basketball player
Is trying to lend them a hand
Maybe someday he'll be president
He's quite a popular man
But now the chief has reservations
And the white man has plans
There's opposition in Congress
The bill is up against cash
There's really no way of predicting
If it will fly or it will crash
But that's the nature of politics
That's the name of the game
That's how it looks in the tepee
Big winds are blowing again
Yeah.

There's still crime in the city
Said the cop on the beat
I don't know if I can stop it
I feel like meat on the street
They paint my car like a target
I take my orders from fools
Meanwhile
some kid blows my head off
Well, I play by their rules
So now I'm doing it my way
I took the law in my own hands
Here I am in the alleyway
A wad of cash in my pants
I get paid by a ten year old
He says he looks up to me
There's still crime in the city
But it's good to be free
Yeah.

Now I come from a family
That has a broken home
Sometimes I talk to my daddy
On the telephone
When he says that he loves me
I know that he does
But I wish I could see him
Wish I knew where he was
But that's
the way all my friends are
Except maybe one or two
Wish I could see him this weekend
Wish I could walk in his shoes
But now I'm doin' my own thing
Sometimes I'm good, then I'm bad
Although my home has been broken
It's the best home I ever had
Yeah.

Well, I keep getting younger
My life's been funny that way
Before I ever learned to talk
I forgot what to say
I sassed back to my mummy
I sassed back to my teacher
I got thrown out of Sunday School
For throwin' bibles at the preacher
Then I grew up to be a fireman
I put out every fire in town
Put out everything smoking
But when I put the hose down
The judge sent me to prison
Gave me life without parole
Wish I never put the hose down
Wish I never got old.
