1. WRITE ME A LETTER

Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm goin' away

Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm goin' away (yes it is)

Well I've been away forever
Suicide's crossin' my mind
Well I'll never, never, never, never, never
Get so far behind
I said, the ways of the night are evil
Without that Lord of Day
But I'll never, never, never, never, never
Get so far away

I said write me
Write me
Write me
I said write me
Write me
Write me

Well there's nothin' I can see
That'd ever make me
Want to be without her
She's good, she good to me
Said there's no way to explain
The kind of feelin' that you get out in the way
She good, she good to me
She good, she good to me
See this emptyness inside will make me scream
Make gonna know how
She good, she good to me

I love her

Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm goin' away

Well I've been away forever
Suicide's crossin' my mind
Well I'll never, never, never, never, never
Get so far behind

Well I've been so many places
Hidin' from the wind and the rain
But you could write me a letter
For to save me from goin' insane

I said write me
Write me
Write me
A letter (what's inside?)
Write me
Write me
Write me baby!!


2. DREAM ON

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's
In books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
From sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me now, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On, AHHHHHHH

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me now, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me now, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away......


3. MAKE IT

Good evening people, welcome to the show
Got somethin' here I want you all to know
When laughin' people bring on primal screams
You got to think of
What it's gonna take to make your dreams

Make It
Don't break it
I said Make It
Don't Brake it
Do then you feel like the world's coming down on you

You know that history repeats itself
But you just learned so by somebody else
You know you do, you gotta think up fast
You gotta figure what it's gonna take to make it last
Make It
Don't brake it
I said Make It
Don't brake it
Then you do

Better weather, pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Better weather, pull yourself together
What have you got to lose
You're only paying your dues
Too stinkin' proud but you're gonna pay
If you're gone I'll get you anyway
Although you know what you've been going through
Your only dreams feel like a tattoo

Make It
Don't brake it
I said Make It
Don't brake it
Then you do

Better weather, pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Better weather, pull yourself together
What have you got to lose


4. WOMAN OF THE WORLD

Well, she's the woman of the world
And God she know it
She'll turn my head
Every time she shows it
Yeah, nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
No way you can try to change her way
She might be gone tomorrow
Honey, say what you gotta say

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy what a woman

Well I tried, I tried so hard to please her
She'd give me a look if I beg to tease her
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
No way you can try to choochie coo
She might be gone tomorrow
Oh, Lordy what you gonna do

And I tried with an open hand
And a heart of sorrow
Hoped that everything would be all right
Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow
Get out all your lovin' here tonight

And I tried with an open hand
And a heart of sorrow
Hoped that everything would be all right
Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow
Get out all your lovin' here tonight

She got big-eyed cats
She got coats of sable
She seats forty-four at her dinner table
And there's nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
No way you can try to change her way
She might be gone tomorrow
Oh, throwin' it all away


5. SPACED

Spaced in time, child of mine
Doin' twenty years on the way
Fire and steel, earth unreal
Find another planet to stay
Papa died, ma survived
Tellin' me about her ordeal

And the soul she could not feel
'Cause they made her so unreal

Lightnin' years disappearsne
Twenty million years on my brain
Synthesize, overrides
Tryin' to keep from goin' insane

And my soul I can not feel
'Cause they made me so unreal

Spaced enough to know I feel there's nothing out there
Spaced enough to know I feel I really don't care
Spaced enough to feel I'm really losin' my mind

And I'm never ever goin' back
I lost the track
No one even knows I'm alive
Spaced without a trace
Waitin' for the word to arrive
I'm the last man to survive


6. S.O.S (TOO BAD)

Stagecoach lady, hourglass body
Makin' things glow in the night
Well, she would if she could
And she'd be good if she would
Only be a lover, she'd be out tonight

'Cause I'm a bad
Lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

Salt Lake City, salt-lickin' biddies
Bogus honey stinkin' of gin
Well my daddy was hard
His face was pretty scarred
From kickin' ass to playin' poker to win

'Cause I'm a bad
Lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

It's too bad

It's too bad
Can't get me none of that

Loose old lady
My mama Katy
Chivalry was born at her feet
Well she should have thought twice
When Pa shot his dice
The night she put my daddy to sleep

'Cause I'm a bad
Lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

It's too bad
Lord, it's too bad
I said it's too bad
Lord, it's too bad

(Repeat)


7. WALK THIS WAY

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
'Til I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' 'til you're down on a MUFF AND
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your way
I met a cheerleader was a real young bleeder
Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
A like this

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

A just gimme a kiss
Like this

School girl sweetie with a sassy kinda classy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
It was three young ladies in a school gym locker
When I noticed they were lookin' at me
I was a high school loser never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
A like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing hey diddle diddy
Wit'cha kitty in the middle of the swing like ya didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way
Talk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Talk this way

A just gimme a kiss
Like this


8. SWEET EMOTION

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

You talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but I gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year

When some Sweat Hot mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

When I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died
Yes it did

You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I'll talk about something you're sure to understand
'Cause a month on the road an' I'll be eating from your hand


9. NO MORE NO MORE

Blood stains the ivories
Of my daddy's baby grand
I aint' seen no daylight
Since we started this band
No More, No More
No More, No More

Store bought clothes
fallin' appart at the seams
Tea leaf readin' gypsies
Fortune tellin' my dreams

No More, No More
No More, No More

Holiday Inns, lock the door with a chain
You love it and you hate it
But to me they're all the same

No More, No More
No More, No More

Baby I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

Stalemate jailbait
Ladies can't refuse
You love 'em then you leave 'em
With your sold out reviews

No More, No More
No More, No More

Sweet talkin' barroom, ladies' disease
Slippin' with her lips
Slidin' down your knees

No More, No More
No More, No More
No More, No More

Baby I'm a screamer
Bound to a wife in marriage
Baby, I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

Ladies hold the aces
And their lovers call it passion
The men call it pleasure
But to me it's old fashioned

Times they're a changin
Nothin' ever stands still
If I don't stop changin'
I'll be writin' out my will

It's the same old story
Never get a second chance
For a dance to the top of the hill

Baby I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage


10. RATS IN THE CELLAR

Goin' under, Rats In The Cellar
Goin' under, skin's turnin' yellow
Nose is runny, losin' my connection
Losin' money, getting no affection

New York City blues
East side, West side lose
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe
That you're wearing
Tearing me apart

Safe complaining, 'cause everything's rotten
Go insanin', and ain't a thing forgotten
Feelin' cozy, Rats In The Cellar
Cheeks are rosy, skin's turning yellow
Loose and soggy, lookin' mighty lazy
Super party, pushin up a-daisies

New York City schools
East side, west side lose
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe
That you're wearing
Tearing me apart

New York City blues
East side, west side lose
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe
That you're wearing
Tearing me apart


11. BRIGHT LIGHT FRIGHT

It's the dawn of the day
And I'm crashed and I'm smashed
And it is I'm feelin'
Like my chips are cashed
All of my clothes
Strewn all over the room
The crisis at hand is
I'm all out of zoom

[Chorus]
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the Good Morning News

The tricks of the night
Keepin' me in a daze
Open a bottle
And I'll pull down the shades
Glance in the mirror
Back into bed
Forget that it's day
Time to party again

[Chorus]

Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Give me the night

[Repeat]

[Repeat Chorus]


12. TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN

Well on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome
We kinda look the same
She was pretty
From New York City
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so

[Chorus]
I said, Train Kept A Rollin' all night long
Train Kept A Rollin' all night long
Train Kept A Rollin' all night long
Train Kept A Rollin' all night long
With a heave, and a ho
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome
We kinda looked the same
She was pretty
From New York City
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so

[Chorus]

Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her

Well, we made a stop in Albuquerque
She musta thought
I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and put her hands up
Lookin' so good, I couldn't let her go
But I just couldn't tell her so

[Chorus]

I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her
