"Split Image"

"Split Image"


It's the same old line
People get to you if they can
They take what they find
They will change you mind
They will fit you into their play

And then one day you'll wake up
As somebody else
Someone they advented

A split image
Don't let them burn you
Split image
Don't let them turn you
Split image
Just keeps comin' back
Comin' back, comin' back
To who you are

And the wrong get born
And the right ones just stay away
What he's livin' for
If the wrong get born
And we don't have a word to say

And it's so hard to wake up
Or in right groove
A crack in the mirror

He's come...
Remember who you are

"Stand Back"

"Stand Back"


I see him coming
He's out to get you
He'll get us fooling your door
You've got a letter
From the sisters of mercy
They can't have you no more

Temptation, such sweet song
That burns inside
One rhythm, one power
One drain of blood left you dry

I see you there
Before the dancin' visions
So many stars in your eyes
You've got it all
But you ain't seen nothing
How can you be so blind

Stand back
Make way for the zodiac boy
Stand back
I'm gonna take you
To the other side
Stand back
Make way for the zodiac boy
Stand back
You've gotta listen to
The power of the future

It's so easy, it's a chain reaction
Every step of the way
There are places
You've been dreaming of
But never knew the way

Temptation, such a good thing
That burns inside
One rhythm, one power
One drain left you dry

"Stay On Top"

"Stay On Top"


Everybody got somebody
Trying to make you feel real bad
Aint' none of your business
Talking but half too bad
Be strong of yourself
Stand up - walk away
Nobody gives a damn for a
Single thing you say

I'm singing
Stay on top - never go under
Lightning strikes
Boy, you hear the thunder
Stay on top - never go under
Hold on tight
Here comes the thunder

Hide money in your pocket
Be nobody's fool
Always think of number one
That's my golden rule
Take care of business
Go for a win at the best
Be strong enough to take it
Ain't no need to beg

I'm singing
Stay on top - never go under
Lightning strikes
Boy, you hear the thunder
Stay on top - never go under
Hold on tight
Watch out for the thunder

Bad times make it right
But the good times get too high
I can't stand it
I can't stand it no more

Somebody, everybody
Trying to make you feel real bad
Ain't nobody's business
Talkng but half too bad
Be strong of yourself
Stand up - walk away
Nobody's gonna listen
To a single word you say

I'm singing
Stay on top - never go under
Lightning strikes
Boy, you hear the thunder
Stay on top - never go under
Hold on tight
Look out for the thunder

Stay on top
You've got to stay on top
Stand up and sing it
Stay on top
Take care of business
Stay on top

"Stealin'"

"Stealin'"


Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride aha

Oo..ooo Ooooo Ah ah ah
Oo..ooo Ooooo Ah ah ah

Well there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food and no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time

Fightin', killin', wine and women, gonna put me to my grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save
But my life

Oo..ooo Ooooo Ah ah ah
Oo..ooo Ooooo Ah ah ah

Stood on a ridge and shunned religion thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake stealin' when I should've been buyin'

All that fightin', killin', wine and those women, gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save
But my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life,

So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake stealin' when I should've been buyin'
I was stealin' when I should've been buyin'
I was stealin' when I should've been buyin' yeah
Stealin' when I should've been buyin'
[repeat with ad lib vocals]

"Step By Step"

"Step By Step"


It's alright, it's not wrong
To sometimes feel
You're just hanging on
On those days when
Your feelings are low
Don't hold back
Just let those show

If you want my time and devotion
You've got to give me
Some of your emotion
It's not too much, too much to ask
If you want this love to last
Born with open eyes
But you're blinded by confusion
You're born with strength inside

Let's do it step by step
Into tomorrow
We can make it if we try
If you talk to me, walk with me
There's no reason why
We can do it step by step
Into tomorrow with open eyes
So come on talk to me
Just walk with me
You can do it if you try
One step, one step at a time
One heart beatin' with mine

Nothing gained, nothing ventured
Nothing won, no risk no loss
In this world of indecisions
There's a bridge we all must cross

"Still Calls His Name"

"Still Calls His Name"


Summer moonlight shines
On a midnight train
Lost in emotion she cries
To the wind and the rain
In silence she feels the breeze
No mercy tonight
The passion and promise has made
Life broken inside

She stills calls his name
She can't get home
She stills calls his name
Broken hearted

Another town rolls by
As a distant rose
And wonderin' what she will find
When she gets home
You, there's a part in flame
But a careless heart
Dreams are an open game
Will tear you apart

She stills calls his name
She's out of control
She stills calls his name
Broken hearted

One love comes of the rest
A bed of roses was a bed of nails
Don't take the blame forever
Just give it time

"Straight Through The Heart"

"Straight Through The Heart"


You came on like an angel
I didn't see the evil in your eyes
I could see, but I was blinded
Oh, believed in lies

You hit we with your promises
You shot me, I fell to the ground
You're coming's on tomorrow
When I looked, you were
Nowhere to be found

You set me up right from the start
Strip me of my dignity
You got me straight through the heart
I never did stand a chance
You got me straight through the heart
You cut me and left me for dead

You promised me a heaven
Turned out to be but hell all the time
The truth that you're pretending
Was just a chorus of lies

You set me up right from the start
Strip me of my dignity
And got me straight through the heart
I never did stand a chance
You got me straight through the heart
You cut me and left me for dead
You cut me and left me for dead

You came on like an angel
Just like an angel
You set up

You got me straight through the heart
I never did stand a chance
Got me straight through the heart
You cut me, you left me
Straight through the heart
You never gave any chance
Got me straight throught the heart
I'm bleedin', you're leavin'
Got me straight through the heart

"Suicidal Man"

"Suicidal Man"


Waiting by the window
Staring at my shadow
Not believing what I'd seen
Touching but not feeling
And wondering in what I was dealing
And not knowing where I'd been

So I began walking
And to myself I was talking
But didn't know which way to go
Then I found a direction
And now I needed some action
But I should have just said no
Should have said no

Why won't you help me or give me hand
'Cause I'm close to becoming a suicidal man
What I need is someone with a definite plan
For I've waited for just about as long as I can

Suicidal man, suicidal, suicidal
Suicidal man

So on my travels
Still with all my troubles
I found someone who cared
The answer was so easy
That all she did to please me
Was to say a problem's smaller when it's shared

He was a suicidal man, he was a suicidal man
He was a suicidal man, he was a suicidal man
Who was he, suicidal man, who was he, suicidal man
suicidal man, suicidal man

"Sundown"

"Sundown"


I'll see you at sundown
You can't back out now
The news is all over town

I'll see you at sundown
And they can put one of us
In a hole in the ground, oh yeah

Now it's three in the afternoon
And I'm frightened to death waiting for you in the saloon
I wonder if he feels the same
For whoever wins there's still a cowboy to blame

Sundown, give me some strength
I know I can't go it alone
Sundown, give me your strength
Give me a chance to go home
To go home

Well even if I shouldn't win
And I'm frightened to death when it's in it again
I hear the reverend feels it's a sin
(I'll get on my horse and ride)
For whoever wins he's going to carry the blame

Sundown, give me some strength
I know I can't go it alone oh
Sundown, give me your strength
Give me a chance to come home

"Sunrise"

"Sunrise"


Aaah, aaah
Aaah, aaah oooh

Sunrise, and the new day's breakin' through
The morning of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No-one's there to see me cry
Except the sunrise...
The sunrise and you.

Aaah, aaah
Aaah, aaah oooh

Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-one's there to see me cry
Except the sunrise...
The sunrise and you.

Sunrise, - bless my eyes,
Catch my soul - make me whole
- Again.

Sunrise, new day, hear my song
I am tired of fightin' and foolin' around
But from now till who knows when
My sword will be my pen
And I'll love you, love ya
For all of my time.

Sunrise, - bless my eyes
Catch my soul and make me whole
- Again.

So sunrise, - bless my eyes
Catch my soul - make me whole
- Again.

Sunrise, - bless my eyes
Catch my soul - make me whole
- Again.
Sunrise.
