ROCKMAKER


Don't know quite what to say
Haven't seen you in seven ages
Can you tell that it's me
Or is my picture on torn out pages?

And you think it's real
But it's just another future deal
And you know you're right
'Cause you've waited for it all night
Then you find yourself
Sitting on a little shelf

Don't know quite what to do
I've been acting my life in phases
Is it really true
That they're keeping us locked in cages?

And you think it's real
But it's just another future deal
And you know you're right
'Cause you've waited for it all night
Then you find yourself
Sitting on a little shelf
Rockmaker

[Instrumental break]

And you think it's real
But it's just another future deal
And you know you're right
'Cause you've waited for it all night
Then you find yourself
Sitting on a little shelf

ROSANNA

ROSANNA


All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see youre eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be

CHORUS:
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah
Now she's gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah

I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna

All I wanna take is a night you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad

CHORUS

(Instrumental break)

CHORUS

Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah

SELFISH

SELFISH


Ashes to ashes
That's how it ends
You go from heartache to heartache
As you make amends
Just bigger and bigger
You take two steps back
You want something from nothing
And you're so exact

You think you're a rich man
Now you misbehave
You're not a free man running
Just a comfortable slave

[Chorus:]
So selfish
You got more than you can use
But you still don't see
You're so selfish
And you're running out of room

Deeper and deeper
As you forge ahead
You go higher and higher
But you've been mislead
Harder and harder
You grind the stone
Faster faster faster
Till you're skin and bones

Too much ambition
Without relief
You know that ain't heaven
But it's what you teach

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

Who's got the answer
Give me the cure
Don't rush to judgement
Until you're sure

[Repeat chorus two times]

SHE KNOWS THE DEVIL

SHE KNOWS THE DEVIL


She got fingernails like knives
She got twenty-four karat eyes
She wants everything she sees

She ain't gonna change her wicked ways
I'll love her till my dying day

Bad little girl with a vermin tongue
Ooh, she loves to have her fun
The daughter of Mephistopheles
She loves to aim and she aims to please
She'll take any young god and burn him down
He'll see who's the queen and who's the clown
She got lips that bleed
She's what I need
I want her for my girlfriend

SIMPLE LIFE

SIMPLE LIFE


Days feel so long
My life seems short as years go by
The chance that I took
Feeling so strong I had to try
All of the pain I left behind

Been down the road
My heart has been sold
The price was steep
The world that we have
The wish that we made is ours to keep

All of our emotions are so deep
Cuz I can't stop falling in love with you

All I want is a simple life
All I really want is you
All I want, all I need
Is a simple life

SLIPPED AWAY

SLIPPED AWAY


You're a soul with no religion
There's ice in your embrace
In your dance of indecision
I see the anger in your face

A little drink to help my vision
A little something for the pain
There's no drug for my condition
There's no sweetness in the taste

Tell me where the ride's gonna lead you
Do I have to pay to be your friend?
There's nothing left to say
When you slipped away

I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

You're a world of blind ambition
Staring through the looking glass
You will meet your own collision
When your conscience comes to ask

Steal the love from those around you
Help yourself to everything
Take the shelter that surrounds you
It leaves you standing in the rain

Tell me if the money can heal you
Do I have to pray to make it end?
There's nothing left to say
When you slipped away

I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

[Instrumental brake]

When you slipped away

I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me

I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

SOMEWHERE TONIGHT

SOMEWHERE TONIGHT


When you meet a special person
And it feels good passing time
You tell yourself it's casual
But they have something else in mind

You try to make some reason
A voice calls out from across the room
She runs away without an answer
She runs away too soon

Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying

Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying

We all belong to someone
Sometimes they're so far away
You write down words in letters
Not quite sure what they say

You know that she needs you
And you miss her in your heart
But a certain feeling lingers
That keeps us miles apart

Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
(You'd better believe)
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying

Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying

(Oh Lord)
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying

(You'd better believe)
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying

Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying

SPANISH STEPS OF ROME

SPANISH STEPS OF ROME


The first time I saw her
She was wearing scarves of white
That little spark between us
Took only seconds to ignite
And then it occured to me
But suddenly I was standing there alone
On the Spanish steps of Rome

I kept searching through the allies
Kept searching through the catacombes that night
I closed my eyes and threw a coin in the fountain
She was nowhere insight
I wandered through the holy city
Like a beggar beneath the moon lit dome
Near the Spanish steps of Rome

I heard a voice as I looked through my fingers
And saw the old monsigneur
He gave me his blessing and said to me:
"Don't try and please her"
And then I heard her singing like some diva
Parched upon her throne
On the Spanish steps of Rome

Now I know I should have listened
When he warned me - He warned me not to follow
I noticed that the statues eyes
Were all sunken and hollow
She let hose young wolves do their dirty deeds
While she lay inside her home
On the Spanish steps of Rome

SPIRITUAL MAN

SPIRITUAL MAN


I heard about a man, walkin' on the water
He had hope in his eyes
He didn't wear a crown or have any money
He didn't have any lies

He had holes in his pockets
He had holes in his hands
He looked like an outlaw talkin' to his lover

He was a spiritual man

I wanna be a prince, not a king or a warrior
I wanna have a special light in my eyes
Wanna climb up a mountain, find a tree of wisdom
I wanna feel good when I cry

And maybe someday I could be a teacher
I want that karma when you touch my hand
I'll walk through the streets,
Talking to the homeless in winter

I wanna be a spiritual man, yeah

I heard about a man who was born in the desert
He rode for days and nights across the sand
And one day, he came upon an angel
The angel said, "Hey you, you're gonna be a spiritual man!"

Instrumental Break

Last night I saw a man walkin' toward a club in Harlem
He had a black case in his hands
Went through the back door and pulled out his gold companion
He closed his eyes and played all night like a self-taught spiritual man

STAY AWAY

STAY AWAY


You gave me too many chances
Now it's drivin' us apart
I keep on runnin' with the boys, girl
But then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you
'Cause you never let it show
I know I'm hanging on the edge now
But I won't let go

I never meant to hurt you
But something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance
We can make it this time

Stay away, stay away from my heart
Stay away, stay away from my heart

If you gave me three wishes
I'd throw two of them away
I've seen that look in your eye girl
I'd use the last one this way
We've been from rags to riches
But your love can't be bought
I'm just a junkyard dog, girl
Who's afraid he's been caught

You're standing in the shadows
Watching everything that I do
And I know the way things must look
It couldn't be further from the truth

Stay away, stay away from my heart
Stay away, stay away from my heart

[Bridge:]
Remember how it used to be girl
Makin' love like it's the last time
We held each other close
Not knowing what we'd found
You felt the pounding of my thunder
As your rain was pouring down

[Instrumental break]

I never meant to hurt you
But something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance
We can make it this time

Stay away, stay away from my heart
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Stay away, stay away from my heart
