Some love is just a lie of the heart, The cold remains of what began with a passionate start. And they may not want it to end, But it will, it’s just a question of when. I’ve lived long enough to have learned, The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned [...]
Opening: You got to open your eyes in the morning, Nine o’clock comin’ without any warnin’ And you gotta get ready to go. You say you went out late last evenin’ Did a lot of drinkin’, come home stinkin’, And you went and fell asleep on the floor. And then your lady comes and finds [...]
Come out, Virginia Don`t let me wait You Catholic girls Start much too late Aw, but sooner or later It comes down to fate I might as well be the one Well, they showed you a statue Told you to pray They built you a temple And locked you away Aw, but they never told [...]
Sometimes i wish I know that this question raises all kinds of issues in my mind, and this question is do you believe in Christ? Because i believe that what we expierence and ah and its not being talked about openly enough was pure evil. Sometimes i wish this world was just a crazy dream, [...]
I’ve seen those big machines come rolling through the quiet pines Blue suits and bankers with their Volvos and their valentines Give us this day our daily discount outlet merchandise Raise up a multiplex and we will make a sacrifice Now we’re gonna get the big business Now we’re gonna get the real thing Everybody’s [...]

*Verse 1* Good night my angel time to close you eyes And save these questions for another day I think I know what you’ve been asking me I think you know what I’ve been trying to say I promised I would never leave you And you should always know Where ever you may go No [...]
I never ask you where you go After I leave you in the morning We go our different ways to seperate situations It’s not that easy anymore Today I do what must be done I give my time to total strangers But now it feels as though the day goes on forever MOre than it [...]

If someone stood up in a crowd And raised his voice up way out loud And waved his arm And shook his leg You’d notice him If someone in a movie show Yelled
It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There’s an old man sitting next to me Making love to his tonic and gin He says,
woohoohoohoo for the longest time woohoohoo for the longest time if you’d say goodbye to me tonight there would still be music left to write what else could I do I’m so inspired by you that hasn’t happened for the longest time Once I thought my innocence was gone now I know that happiness goes [...]
