IN A WORD

IN A WORD


Stop, taking for granted
I am the one who's wrong
You might be surprised
Time standin' still
It seems like we don't belong
You'll realize
Start giving to me all you can
Stop telling me girl just where I stand

[Chorus:]
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
One I've not heard before
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
You can't say it all in a word

Life turns around
Time not to look away
And face what you see
Truth shows itself
So watch everything you say
When you're talking to me
You find yourself just in time
No don't be afraid of what you'll find on the way

[Repeat chorus]

[Instrumental break]

[Repeat chorus]
No you can't say it all in one word...

ISOLATION

ISOLATION


I'm stranded here in a dream and there's no ticket back
I feel a cold wind blowin', my future looks black
You left me here and you've taken all my yesterdays
I guess to stand alone is the price that I pay
Now look what you've done to me
Because we just disagree
I'm out here alone and it's you that I'm waiting for

Can't go livin' without you, girl
It doesn't matter what you say or do, girl
Can't go livin' without you, girl
Isolation

I close my eyes and you're dancin' in the moonlight with me
I try to touch you, but you, you had to get free
I turned around and you're nowhere left in sight
I'm just a lone survivor, you know it ain't right
Now look what you've done to me
Because we just disagree
I'm out here alone and it's you that I'm waiting for

Can't go livin' without you, girl
You know that I'll be waiting here for you, girl
Can't go livin' without you, girl
Isolation

I remember holding you just yesterday
But you're memory is all that I have today
We were talking 'bout promises we once had made
But you never came back
Why'd you run away
(You ran away)

Can't go livin' without you, girl
It doesn't matter what you say or do
Can't go livin' without you, girl
Isolation
Girl, I'm so isolated
Can't go livin' without you, girl, oh
Girl, you know I'm gonna wait for you
Can't go livin' without you, girl
Isolation

IT TAKES A LOT TO LAUGH IT TAKES A TRAIN TO CRY

IT TAKES A LOT TO LAUGH IT TAKES A TRAIN TO CRY


Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby,
Can't buy a thrill.
Well, I've been up all night, baby,
Leanin' on the window sill.
Well, if I die
On top of the hill
And if I don't make it,
You know my baby will.

And if I don't make it,
You know my baby will.

Now the wintertime is coming,
The windows are filled with frost.
I went to tell everybody,
But I could not get across.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby,
I don't wanna be your boss.
Don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost.

Don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost.

IT'S A FEELING

IT'S A FEELING


It's a feeling, I don't belong here
But a man's on the outside looking in
Wondering who's in his old armchair

It's a feeling, you never belonged to me
First you're on the up and up, I only look down and see
I only look down and see

You're fighting me, you knew me, all desires
No lock or key can hide the truth you're keeping from me

[repeat]

JUST CAN'T GET TO YOU

JUST CAN'T GET TO YOU


I'm driving' through the rain
Just to talk to you again
Please don't run away this time
Until I say what's on my mind

Tonight I need to stay with you
This time I'm not passing throught
Tear down the walls around your heart
And though I know it's who you are

I just can't get to you girl
Oh yeah, I just can't get to you
If you won't let me through girl
Oh no, I just can't get to you

You say you really need me here
So I can't let you disappear
Even though it's getting late
Somehow I seem to hesitate

'Cause I just can't get to you girl
Oh yeah, I just can't get to you
If you won't let me through girl
Oh no, I just can't get to you

[Bridge:]
You're afraid that you'll get hurt again
Yes, I know that's how it feels
Don't surrender, that's no way to win
Let it go, let me in

[Instrumental brake]

'Cause I just can't get to you
Just can't get to you girl
Oh yeah, just can't get to you
If you won't let me through girl
Oh no, I just can't get to you

Just can't get to you girl
Oh yeah, just can't get to you
You won't let me through girl
Oh no, I just can't get to you

KING OF THE WORLD

KING OF THE WORLD


Smoke and mirrors
It's a house of cards
Everybody has windows
And big cigars

The law of the jungle
Is very new to some
The animals are vicious and arrogant
And they eat their young

I used to work my job from 9 to 5
I just survived

I was the king of the world
I had every thing thrown at me,
That the judge and jury could hurl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way up,
To the very top of the tower

Helter skelter
It's a den of thieves
Sea of errors
That a greedy man weaves

A few really bad apples
Always spoil the lot
Rolling blackouts
On everyone's block

I go to work and try to make ends meet
My life is over

I was the king of the world
I had everything I needed,
I owned every type of girl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way,
Up to the very top of the tower

Instrumental Break

I was the king of the world
I had everything I needed,
I owned every type of girl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way,
Up to the very top of the tower

KINGDOM OF DESIRE

KINGDOM OF DESIRE


You used to be on fire now you chill me to the bone
We used to fly like angels now we're sinking like a stone
You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels
I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels

Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing

And oh, one thing I know
There's only one place left for me to go

Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed
My sheets feel like sandpaper
And my pillow feels like lead
But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea
I'm sinking like a stone babe that's how it's got to be

Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you don't love me I'll never feel a thing

And oh, if I don't have you
There's only one thing left for me to do

Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

[Instrumental break]

When you dig up God's little acre you lose all peace of mind
You stare into the distance looking for a sign
But that sign it never comes babe
Your wishes won't come true
You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you

And oh, one thing I know
There's only one place left for me to go


Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
[repeats 2x]

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

LAST LOVE

LAST LOVE


What would you say
If I asked you to stay with me forever
But forever's in too soon
The touch of your hand
And the look in your eyes
Are the only things I know
I know that are true

We only have this life
To forgive and then forget
But the only thing that matters
Is we have no regrets

[Chorus:]
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
There's nothing I wouldn't give to you
I know that you know it's true
Oh can't you see
You're the last love for me

Time passes fast
And the hours go quickly
But the fire inside our hearts
It never dies
The sound of your voice
And the way that it moves me in a special way
I can't describe

Please take my hand
And we'll walk the endless road
No one has to lead us
'Cause we know which way to go

[Chorus]

And if I ever really hurt you
How sorry I would be
There's something I've been trying to tell you
Darling it's time you know
You'll always be a part of me

[Instrumental break]

Please take my hand
And we'll walk the endless road
No one has to lead us
'Cause we know which way to go

[Chorus]

I know that you know it's true
Oh can't you see
It's meant to be
You're the last love for me

LAST NIGHT

LAST NIGHT


Well, there's a light in your eyes
That's guiding my way to your doorstep
And your voice called my name
With a sound that I've never known
I was a kid in a comicbook-world looking for answers
When out of the darkness she came

Like a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't care if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
And I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door

[Chorus:]
Last night
You turned a frightened little boy into a man without shame
Last night
We tore the hands off a clock and it read just the same
Last night
I had a crazy little dream and you turned it all around
Last Night
We took a chance, we shook it up, and now the world's upside down

All the fire in your heart
And the heat of your touch I'll remember
And you're dancing like a flame
Perfection in motion
It was the masterpiece from the start
Only you and I could have rendered
And I'll never be the same

I'm a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't care if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
And I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door

[Repeat chorus]

[Instrumental break]

Like a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't matter if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
'Cause I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door

[Repeat chorus]

Last night...

LET IT GO

LET IT GO


Staring death between the eyes
Doesn't seem so far away
So much pain in long goodbyes
There is much I need to say

You've been shadowing my door
A tempest wind that never dies
Every sorrow washed ashore
No more tears to fill my eyes

(Chorus)
Let it go
Gonna make your life whole
Let it go

Time to lose the crooked smile
Cast your grief upon the ground
Got no time for vain illusion
Cause it's killin me inside

(Chorus)

You should know
It might be the anger you hide
Your pride
Maybe someone has stepped on your pride
Every night
It'll keep you awake every night when you're old

Your heart
Your heart has been painfully bruised
Something to lose
You still might have soething to prove
Let it go
Is it worth all the time you misuse for your sad demise

When there's vengeance in your heart
What comes next is up to you
Better to think before you start
Or you can dig that grave for two

(Chorus)
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)

You should know
It might be the anger you hide
Your pride
Maybe someone has stepped on your pride
Every night
It'll keep you awake every night when you're old
Your heart
Your heart has been painfully bruised
Someone to lose
You might still have someone to prove
Let it go
Is it worth all the time you misuse for your sad demise
