1. EVERYBODY WANTS YOU

You see 'em comin' at you every night
Strung on pretension, they fall for you at first sight
You know their business, you think it's a bore
They make you restless, it's nothin' you ain't seen before
Get around town, spend your time on the run
You never let down, say you do it for fun
Never miss a play, though you make quite a few
You give it all away, everybody wants you

You crave attention, you can never say "no"
Throw your affections any way the wind blows
You always make it, you're on top of the scene
You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine
Puttin' on the eyes 'til there's nobody else
You never realize what you do to yourself
The things that they see make the daily reviews
You never get free, everybody wants you

Everybody knows you
Everybody snows you
Everybody needs you, leads you, bleeds you

Nights of confusion and impossible dreams
Days at the mirror, patchin' up around the seams
You got your glory, you paid for it all
You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol
Say goodbye to conventional ways
You can't escape the hours, you lose track of the days
The more you understand, seems the more like you do
You never get away, everybody wants you


2. WHADDA YA WANT FROM ME

Down in the dungeon I'm havin' a hard time
I get my love on condition and my Dewar's without lime
Up in the tower you're countin' the fault lines
(I say) I am who I am, whadda you want from me

Long distance warfare from over the phone lines
Terminal airfare, I'm crossin' the red line
Can't tell the diff'rence 'tween a "wait" and a "walk" sign
But you know who I am, whadda you want from me

You preach forgiveness but once in a dog's day
But nobody listens to everything you say
You want the business, have it your own way
But you know who I am, whadda you want from me

I can't see no "maybe"
I can't see at all
I seen through you baby
You wanna have it all, you take me to the wall
Whadda you want from me
(I said) you know who I am, whadda you want
I done what I can, take what you want
I am who I am, whadda you want from me


3. I NEED YOU/CATCH 22

I rise at the break of day
Your smile sets me on my way
I need you
See the light shinin' in your eyes
See the hopes that I realize
For you
I am alone, my odds are long, s'all I can do
I need you
Take the road where the eagle flies
Man follows where his fortune lies
I leave you
Shadows fall and the day is done
The curtain calls but more than anyone
I need you
When I feel low, my amps they blow, when I feel blue
I need you

And I forget all my sorrow, I forget all my pain
I relinquish my doubts at the sound of your name
I can feel your desire when I walk through that door
I believe in the power that can even the score

Never knew it could take so long
Never knew it could feel so wrong
Without you
They say a woman knows the reasons why
No man ain't supposed to cry
I need you
When after all, my tears they fall, when I pull through
I need you

I read you like an autograph, you love the spotlight
You shoot me like a photograph, you get me uptight
You're gunnin' for me every day, go straight for the heart
Say you want me, you push me away, say it tears you apart
You're on the inside, I'm on the outside
Don't matter whose side, you take the other side

I can see you walkin' down the aisle, you're thinkin' long-range
I've seen you work the miracle mile for loose change
You can have it any way you want, your fancy dinners in the restaurants
Even though they leave you hungry inside, it's a free ride

You show your bad side, it's so undignified
Get off your backside, you're talkin' suicide

Go and be what you're gonna be
Sink your time and your hooks in me
You can hold me down, take me 'round and 'round and 'round

You catch me when I'm 'bout to fall, but you leave me there
What really matters doesn't matter at all, you don't care
It's hard to figure in your life, It's a roundabout
You're makin' it so hard to give in, but you won't let me out

You take the right side, I'm on the wrong side
No matter whose side, we're talkin' suicide


4. LEARN HOW TO LIVE

You got a lot to learn
You play in the fires, you might get burned
You gotta sacrifice
You're playin' the victim of your own device
You try to understand
The comb in the ashes isn't what you planned
You, it gets you every time
You're chasin' the visions, they're nowhere to find

Learn how to give, learn how to take
Learn how to live before it's too late

You got the restless eyes
They turn to distraction, there's no compromise
You gotta take some time
And fight for the answers, they're hard to find
Don't let it get you down
The best of intentions can turn around
You, now don'tcha fantasize
Start makin' your chances materialize

Learn how to bend, learn how to break
Learn how to mend broken heartaches
Learn to forgive, learn how to wait
Learn how to live before it's too late

Run from the light, and you lock all your doors
It's harder to fight when you've gone down before
The scenes are so right, but they play out so wrong
So into the night it goes on and on and on and on


5. MY KINDA LOVER

You got me runnin' baby
You give me somethin' way beyond revenue
You put the magic in me
I feel the magic when we do what we do
And oh
I can't do without you for too long, you're my situation
You're my kinda lover

You keep me all together
You take me out whenever I'm lettin' down
You got the motions baby
I got a notion maybe I'll stick around
And oh
I can never doubt you for too long, I can't see no reason
You're my kinda lover

When you come 'round I never get down
I fly across the floor
I can see you comin' on me
And I can't ask for more
Rock me, sock me, baby you got me ridin' to the end
Rake me, shake me, baby you make me, turn me on again

You got my motor racin'
I find my thoughts embracin' your every move
I wanna set you reelin'
I wanna make you feel the way that I do
And oh
I been thinkin' 'bout you for so long, I don't wanna lose ya
You're my kinda lover


6. TOO DAZE GONE

Walkin' through the streets just the other day
Caught up in the traffic - I can never get away
Runnin' here, runnin' there
No satisfaction anywhere
I do my work, ain't enough anymore
It takes the morning after to forget the night before

Too daze gone, too daze gone
I'm broke down, insufferable, my mind is on the blink
It's later than you think and I'm too daze gone

Went to see a friend just the other day
Had a drink or two and we blew the night away
Takin' in another show, how we live I'll never know
I can't remember the things that we said
Now all I got is this achin' in my head

Too daze gone, too daze gone
I'm broke down, insufferable, my mind is on the blink
It's later than you think and I'm too daze gone

Gone through the games that you want me to play
Gone past the rules that you put in my way
Racin' past your limit, ain't no right and wrong
Past the point of carin', too daze gone

Couldn't raise my head just to save the day
I do my penance, try to keep the world at bay
Outa sight, outa mind, ills you don't expect to find
I learned my lesson a thousand times too
Don't make no impression, one thing I can do

Too daze gone


7. SHE'S A RUNNER

Take my soul to the lost and found
Girl she made me a hand me down
Never know when she'll come around or what I'll see
No resistance, it's hardly fair
Call my name, honey, I'll be there
I'll give in to you anywhere, so foolishly
I could never ever lie to you
I could never even try
I just wanna be beside you

Sweet emotion'll pass you by
Girl she left me alone to cry
I still remember how she could make love to me
You see the traces, they always show
Some may come and some may go
But one of us will never know what you see
Never wanted to rely on you
Never wanted you to try
I just wanna be beside you

She's a runner, anyone can see
She's a runner, she run all over me
She's a runner, you can't walk away
She's a runner, she can make you stay

I need to listen to my advice
The aggravation ain't worth the price
I can tell ya she won't think twice
She gonna knock down, put ya down, ooh yeah

She's a runner, anyone can see
She's a runner, she tore it outa me
She's a runner, watch her walk away
She's a runner, you can't make her stay


8. EMOTIONS IN MOTION

Bend your back by the light o' the sun
You come to the business, you're the number one
When twilight comes you're a runner in the night
It turns you on like a hot taillight
Get down, you really get down, you never let down
Come down, you never come down, you never come down
Emotions in motion

Back street boy gonna sell you some sin
He'll wind you up, he gonna suck you in
The blood say yes, the mind say no
The voice in your ear say you go, go, go
Run down, you really run down, you really run down
Cool down, you never cool down, you better cool down
Emotions in motion

Give yourself to a life of extremes
You're into the action, it's a part of your dream
Now there're some things you never can tell
But when the door lies open throw your coins in the well
Get down, you really get down, you really get down
Right now, you want it right now, hold tight now
Emotions in motion


9. LISTEN TO THE HEARTBEAT

Sometimes I wonder, think I just can't stand no more
Can't seem to find myself, or what it is I'm lookin' for
People call out my name
Lately things they don't seem the same
That's when I know, I gotta make the rounds again
Find yourself in the danger zone
Reachin' out through the undertones
Chase the spirit you can't control
The inner notions're takin' hold

Listen to the heartbeat

I remember those cold cold nights, we'd stay up all night long
I can remember you holdin' out, and I'd be holdin' on
You can put out my fire
You can stir up my one desire
You can make me wonder how we could ever shy away
You bet your life on that rendezvous
Close your eyes and it all comes true
Cast your fortune into the wind
Those inner notions'll pull you in

Listen to the heartbeat


10. LONELY IS THE NIGHT

Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own
Lonely is the night when there's no one left to call
You feel the time is right, (say) the writin's on the wall
It's high time to fight when the walls are closin' in
Call it what you like, it's time you got to win
Lonely, lonely, lonely, your spirit's sinkin' down
You find you're not the only stranger in this town
Red lights, green lights, stop 'n go jive
Headlines, deadlines, jammin' your mind
You been stealin' shots from the side
Let your feelin's go for a ride

There's danger out tonight, the man is on the prowl
Get the dynamite, the boys are set to howl
Lonely is the night when you hear the voices call
Are you ready for a fight, do you wanna take it all
Slowdown, showdown, waitin' on line
Showtime, no time for changin' your mind
Streets are ringin', march to the sound
Let your secrets follow you down

Somebody's watchin' you baby, so much you can do
Nobody's stoppin' you baby, from makin' it too
One glimpse'll show you now baby, what the music can do
One kiss'll show you now baby, it can happen to you

No more sleepin', wastin' our time
Midnight creepin's first on our minds
No more lazin' round the TV
You'll go crazy, come out with me


11. IN THE DARK

Life isn't easy from the singular side
Down in the hole some emotions are hard to hide
It's your decision, it's a chance that you take
It's on your head, it's a habit that's hard to break
Do you need a friend, would you tell no lies
Would you take me in, are you lonely in the dark

You never listen to the voices inside
They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide
You're never sure if the illusion is real
You pinch yourself but the memories are all you feel
Can you break away from your alibis
Can you make a play, will you meet me in the dark

Don'tcha need me, hey, hey
Don'tcha need me, oh yeah
Don'tcha leave me, hey, hey
Don'tcha need me, oh yeah

You take no interest, no opinion's too dear
You make the rounds and you try to be so sincere
You guard your hopes and you pocket your dreams
You'd trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene
Can you face the fire when you see me there
Can you feel the fire, will you love me in the dark


12. THE STROKE

Now everybody, have you heard
If you're in the game, then the stroke's the word
Don't take no rhythm, don't take no style
Got a thirst for killin', grab your vial

Put your right hand out, give a firm handshake
Talk to me about that one big break
Spread your ear pollution both far and wide
Keep your contributions by your side and

Stroke me, stroke me
Could be a winner boy, you move quite well
Stroke me, stroke me
Stroke me, stroke me
You got your number down
Stroke me, stroke me
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now

Put your left foot out, keep it all in place
Work your way right into my face
First you try to bed me, you make my backbone slide
But when you find you bled me, skip on by

Stroke me, stroke me
Give me the business all night long
Stroke me, stroke me
Stroke me, stroke me
You're so together boy
Stroke me, stroke me
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now

Better listen now, said it ain't no joke
Let your conscience fail ya, just do the stroke
Don't ya take no chances, keep your eye on top
Do your fancy dances, you can't stop you just
Stroke me, stroke me


13. KEEP ME SATISFIED

Early in the mornin' I'm layin' on my bed
Stickin' to the rhythm of the music in my head
Rockin' in the mirror, rollin' out the door
Hop into the car and put the pedal to the floor
Callin' out your number, I'll take you for a ride
Find something to keep me satisfied

Runnin' for the money, layin' out the green
It's a tax accountant's nightmare, it's a rock 'n roll dream
The income may be different but the outcome's still the same
You'll never be a winner, boy, until you play the game
Hounded to distraction, racin' to and fro
Losin' my direction keepin' up my status quo
Now I tried, tried, tried, tried
It just don't seem to keep me satisfied

A hundred thousand miles in a 747
Take it all in style if you wanna get to heaven
Chasin' all the action every single night
Never understand it but you try to do it right
Ragged 'round the edges, none the worse for wear
Cuttin' all the corners but they never get me there
Now I try, try, try, try
It just don't seem to keep me satisfied


14. RIP THIS JOINT

Mama says yes, Papa says no
Make up you mind, 'cause I gotta go
I'm gonna raise hell at the Union Hall
Drive myself right over the wall

Rip this joint, gonna save your soul
So round and round and round we go
Roll this joint, gonna get down low
Start my starter, gonna stop the show

Mister President, mister immigration man
Let me in, sweetie, to your fair land
I'm Tampa bound and Memphis too
Short Fat Fanny is on the loose
Dig that sound on the radio
Then slip it right across into Buffalo
Dick and Pat in ol' D.C.
Well they're gonna hold some grits for me

Ying yang, you're my thing
Oh now baby, won't you hear me sing
Flip flop, fit to drop
Come on baby, won't you let it rock

From San Jose down to Santa Fe
Kiss me quick baby, won'tcha make my day
Down to New Orleans with the Dixie Queen
'Cross to Dallas, Texas with the Butter Queen

Rip this joint, gonna rip yours too
Some brand new steps and some weight to lose
Gonna roll this joint, gonna get down low
So round and round and round we'll go

Wham, bam, Birmingham, Alabam' don't give a damn
Little Rock fit to drop
Ah, let it rock
