"Put Me On"

"Put Me On"


Put me on I'm your brand new record album
Side one, cut one listen to the songs
Play me loud don't you worry 'bout your nieghbors
Hope I make you feel good all day long
All day long

Put me on and play me loud
I'm the madman screaming in your living room
I'll soon be coming to your town
To sing and play a little tune

I said put me on and playme loud
Turn your stereo up all the way
ALL THE WAY
Now your body's immersed in sound
So hear the synthesizers play

And now you're in the mood
Let the melody just drift your cares away
It's got to do you good
As it mesmerizes you in its own way
So drift away...

"Queen Of Spades"

"Queen Of Spades"


Day into night she's with me
How sweet is her warm embrace
Safe in the scent of jasmine
So safe in her gold and lace

Mornings I find, she's left me
So cold so alone, but aware
I try to escape, she finds me
Oh run though I may, she's there, there, there, there, there...

Luck is a lady whose smile is as cold as a stone
She'll bring you things, many things you might never have known
But when your die is cast she'll have the final laugh at you
She'll lock you in a duel, where you come out the fool

Beware of the Queen of Spades
Her black widow's curse might find you yet
Beware of a love that you will regret
Her love means only your death

Day into night she's with me
Turn of a card, she's there
The first time is free, you know
But from now on, pay me, me, me, me, me...

Beware of the Queen of Spades
Her black widow's curse might find you yet
Beware of a love that you will regret
Her love means only your death

"Quick Is The Beat Of My Heart"

"Quick Is The Beat Of My Heart"


if it's my time to die today
please God oh make it fast
balanced on this point for a year and half
I just don't think I can last

there's a man who's laid to rest
the man who gave me my start
I wish I could quit but I can't and it's rough
quick is the beat of my heart
quick is the beat of my heart

so please all you people
don't you grieve for me
the blood in my veins is black and I can't bleed

I've suffered the pain
and all I can face is the dark
oh, Lord, quick is the beat of my heart
quick is the beat of my heart

now my bags are almost packed
the train's about to depart
I wish I could quit but I can't and it's rough
quick is the beat of my heart
quick is the beat of my heart
quick is the beat of my heart
quick is the beat of my heart
quick is the beat of my heart
quick is the beat of my heart

if it's my time to die...

"Renegade"

"Renegade"


Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Oh, Mama I can hear you a-cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long

The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty

Never more to go astray
This will be the end today
Of the wanted man

Oh, Mama, I've been years on the lam and had a high price on my head
Lawman said, 'Get him dead or alive.' Now it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear Mama, I can hear you cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long

The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty

Never more to go astray
The judge will have revenge today
On the wanted man

Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long

The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty

Never more to go astray
This will be the end today
Of the wanted man

The wanted man
And I don't wanna go, oh, no
Oh, Mama, don't let them take me
No, no, no, I can't go
Hey, hey

"Right Away"

"Right Away"


I have seen you
walk in my dreams
casted high against the sky

let me meet you
let me greet you inside
take your place right next to mine

yes I say

right away, right away
right away, right away
right away, right away
right away, right away

leaves have fallen
since I saw you last
slowly die from green to brown
in which way we choose
to live our lives again

I'm gonna lay some seeds
I'm gonna leave them laying right on the ground

right away, right away
right away, right away
right away, right away
right away, right away

right away, right away
right away, right away
right away, right away
right away, right away

right away, right away
right away, right away
right away, right away
right away, right away

"Rockin' The Paradise"

"Rockin' The Paradise"


So whatcha doin' tonight?
Have you heard that the world's gone crazy?
Young Americans listen when I say there's people puttin' us down
I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy
To tell you the truth we've all seen better days
Don't need no fast buck lame duck profits for fun
Quick trick plans, take the money and run
We need long term, slow burn, getting it done
And some straight talking, hard working son of a gun.
Whatcha doin' tonight, I got faith in our generation
Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes
I ain't lookin' to fight, but I know with determination
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules

Come on take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools
No more big shots, crackpots bending the rules
A fair shot here for me and for you
Knowing that we can't lose

And we'll be rockin' in Paradise
Rockin' the Paradise tonight
Rockin' in Paradise
Rockin' the Paradise tonight
Tonight, tonight...

"She Cares"

"She Cares"


I tried to be the perfect soldier
I tried to be what everyone said was expected
Somehow I was selected
Well, my hands were steady, my aim was true
But deep inside of my heart I knew
That I lacked the will
I just couldn't shoot to kill

And still she treats me like a human
She says she'll still be there
I may not be a hero, but I'll be there
Because I know she cares

I worked hard to be the greatest lover
I wanted to be sure that I was her only one
That's how I thought it was done
But I went too far, assumed too much
The need to feel a younger one's touch
Seemed important then
Oh what a fool I've been

And still she treats me like a human (like a human)
She says she'll still be there (that she'll be there)
I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair
'Cause somehow she cares

I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes
And nobody knows what compels her
She's seen my highs and lows and never let go

Oh yes she treats me like a human (like a human)
She says she'll still be there (that she'll be there)
I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair
'Cause somehow she cares

I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes
And nobody knows what compels her
She's seen my highs and lows and never let go

And when the world has turned its back on me
I won't have to feel alone
'Cause I know she cares

"Shooz"

"Shooz"


Well it's Friday nite and the streets
are full of the weekends with their green
Soldier boys looking left and right
at all the sights there to be seen
Well you can be there's a loaner
who'd love to see you be so sweet
That's why I'm telling you to get on
your shooz and get out there on the street
And get your rockin'
Rock n'Roll Shooz
Up and down around they go with
their heads turning all around
Way down there on the corner
there's a Cadillac that's easy to be found
Way down there in Chicago, down
along Division street
The boys are just looking for a girl
like you to make their stay in town a treat
So get your rockin'
Rock n'Roll Shooz
They all love it baby, they keep
comin' back for more
Rock n'Roll Shooz

"Show Me The Way"

"Show Me The Way"


Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven
But every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay
And I feel this empty place inside, so afraid that I've lost my faith

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Please, show me the way

And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know there's peace in a world so filled with hatred
Then I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find we've so far to go
And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid I just won't know

Show me the way, show me the way
Bring me tonight to the mountain
And take my confusion away
And show me the way

And if I see your light, should I believe
Tell me how will I know

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away

Show me the way, show me the way
Give me the strength and the courage
To believe that I'll get there someday
And please show me the way

Every night I say a prayer in the hopes that there's a heaven...
