3. RUNNIN' WITH THE DEVIL

I live my life like there's no tomorrow
And all i've got, i had to steal
Least i don't need to beg or borrow
Yes i'm livin' at a pace that kills

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
I'm gonna tell ya all about it

I found the simple life ain't so simple
When i jumped out, on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody, waitin' at home

Runnin' with the devil
(God damn it lady. You know I ain't lyin' to ya)
Runnin' with the devil

You know i, i found the simple life
Weren't so simple, no
When i jumped out, on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody, waitin' at home

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil


4. DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY

Have you seen her ?
So fine and pretty
Moving with a style and ease
And i feel her from across the room
Yes it's love in the third degree

Ooh, baby, baby
Won't you turn your head my way

Ooh, baby, baby
Now come on take a chance, you're old enough to

Dance the night away
Dance the night away

A live wire, barely a beginner
But just watch that lady go
She's on fire 'cause dancing gets her higher
Than anything else she knows

Ooh, baby, baby
Won't you turn your head my way ?
Ooh, baby, baby
Well don't skip romance 'cause your old enough to

Dance the night away
Dance the night away

Ohh, oh-yeah

Dance the night away
Dance, dance, dance the night away...


5. AND THE CRADLE WILL ROCK...

Well, they say it's kinda fright'nin'
How this younger generation swings.
You know, it's more than just some new sensation.
Well, the kid is into losin' sleep
And he don't come home for half the week.
You know, it's more than just an aggravation.
And the cradle will rock.
Yes, the cradle will rock.
And I say, rock on!
Rock on!
And when some local kid gets down,
They try and drum him out of town.
They say, "You coulda least faked it, boy."
At an early age he hits the street
And winds up tied with who he meets,
And he's unemployed.
And the cradle will rock.
Yeah, the cradle will rock.
And I say, rock on!
Rock on!
Have you seen Junior's grades ?
And when some local kid gets down,
They try and drum him out of town.
They say, "You coulda least faked it, boy."
At an early age he hits the street
And winds up tied with who he meets,
And he's unemployed. His folks are overjoyed.
And the cradle will rock.
Yeah, the cradle will rock.
And I say, rock on!
Rock on!
Rock on!
Rock on!


6. UNCHAINED

Alright!
Haaa-ha-ha-ha!

You say, I cannot get there from here, baby
Then I don't care where I'm goin'
Here's to your thin red line
Mmm, I'm stepping over

Thought you'd never miss me till I got a fat city address
Non-stop talker, what a rocker
Blue-eyed murder in a size five dress

Change, nothin' stays the same
Unchained, and ya hit the ground runnin'
Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'

I know, I don't ask for permission
This is my chance to fly
Maybe enough ain't enough for you
But it's my turn at a try

Thought you'd never miss me till I got a fat city address
Non-stop talker, what a rocker
Blue-eyed murder in a size five dress

Change, nothin' stays the same
Unchained, and ya hit the ground running
Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'

Change, nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'
Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'

Woo-hoo! Take a look at this!
Hey man, that suit is you!
Whoo-whee! You'll get some leg tonight for sure!
Tell us how you do! Hoo hoo hoo!
(Come on Dave, gimme a break)
Hey hey hey hey! One break, comin' up!

Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'
Changed, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'

Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'
Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained!


7. JUMP

I get up, and nothin' gets me down
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real

Ah, can't ya see me standin' here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't ya see what I mean?

Ah, might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump
Go ahead an' jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump

Ow-oh! Hey, you! Who said that? Baby, how you been?
You say you don't know, you won't know until you begin

So can't ya see me standing here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't ya see what I mean?

Ah, might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Jump!


8. PANAMA

Jump back, what's that sound?
Here she comes, full blast and top down
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Model citizen, zero discipline

Don't ya know she's coming home with me
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her!

Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama

Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine
Got the feel for the wheel, keep the movin' parts clean
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Got an on-ramp comin' through my bedroom

Don't you know she's coming home with me
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her

Panama, Panama

Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight
I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off
You know what I'm sayin'
Ahh, you reach down put it between my legs n' ease the seat back

She's runnin', I'm flyin'
Right behind in the rearview mirror now
Got the fearin', power steerin'
Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now

Panama, Panama


9. WHY CAN'T THIS BE LOVE

Whoa, here it comes
That funny feelin' again windin'
Me up inside
Every time we touch
Hey, I don't know
Oh, tell me where to begin
'Cause I never ever
Felt so much. Hey!

An' I can't recall any love at all
Oh baby, this blows 'em all away

It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
Straight from my heart oh tell
Me why
Can't this be love?

I tell myself,
"Hey! Only fools rush in" an' only
Time will tell
If we stand the test of time
All I know
You've got to run to win an' I'll
Be damned if
I'll get hung up on the line. Hey!

No, I can't recall any thing at all
Oh baby, this blows 'em all away

Woo! It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
You want it straight from the heart oh, tell
Me why
Can't this be love?

Woo! It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
Straight from the heart, oh tell
Me why
Can't this be love?

Baby, why can't this be love?
Got to know why can't this
Be love?
I wanna know why can't this
Be love?


10. DREAMS

World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin' down
Better change your tune
Yeah, you reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby, just spread your wings

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

Run, run, run away
Like a train runnin' off the track
Got the truth bein' left behind
Falls between the cracks
Standin' on broken dreams
Never losin' sight, ah
Well just spread your wings

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
'Cause we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

Yeah, we'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
Higher and higher
Leave it all behind
Oh, we'll get higher and higher
Who knows what we'll find?

So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby, we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

And in the end on dreams we will depend
'Cause that's what love is made of


11. WHEN IT'S LOVE

Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
Somethin' to fill in the holes
We think a lot but don't talk much about it
'Til things get out of control
How do I know when it's love
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love
It's just something you feel together
When it's love

You look at every face in a crowd
Some shine and some keep you guessin'
Waiting for someone to come into focus
Teach you your final love lesson
How do I know when it's love
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love
It's just something you feel together
Oh oh oh oh
Oh when it's love

Oh oh oh oh
You can feel it yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Nothing's missing
Yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Nothing's missing
How do I know when it's love,
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love

I can't tell you but it lasts forever
When it's love
When it's love
It'll last forever
When it's love
You and I

We're gonna feel this thing together
When it's love
When it's love
You can feel it
We'll make it last forever
When it's love


12. POUNDCAKE

Yeah, she's gotta have a soul,
Or it won't feel right,
We're just playin, clean and simple
Wrapped up, nice and tight
In a home-grown, and down home,
That makes a woman
Cookin' up that old time long lost recipe, for me
It's gettin' hard to find
Guess it ain't hip enough now
You take an average guy
Who can't identify
And there's a short supply
Of the fine, fine stuff,
Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on some of that
Shake it up, pick it out nice,
Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on outta there,
I still love my baby's poundcake
Home grown, and down home,
Yeah, that's the woman,
Still cookin up an old time, long lost recipe
Lemme get on some of that,
Uh ha, uh ha, ho
Uh ha, uh ha, ho, yeah
I want some of that
Uh ha, uh ha, ho
Gimme some of that, uh ha, uh ha, ha...ow!
Oh, got some real fine, poundcake..
I've been out there,
Tried a little bit of everything
Its all sex without love
I felt the real thing is poundcake
Home grown, and down home,
Yeah, that's the woman,
Still cookin with that old time,
Long lost recipe, yeah, whew!
She's down home and down home,
Oh, that's my woman,
Gimme some of that,
Uh ha, uh ha, ho
Uh ha, uh ha, ho,
Lemme hold that
Uh ha, uh ha, ho
Uh, uh ha, uh ha ho, yeah
Home grown, and down home, whew!

Gimme some of that
Home grown, way down home, yeah!
Uh ha, uh ha, ho, yeah
Gimme some of that, whew!
C'mon babe!


13. RIGHT NOW

Don't wanna wait til tomorrow,
Why put it off another day?
One more walk through problems,
Built up, and stand in our way ,ah
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans, don't dream about yesterday, hey
C'mon turn, turn this thing around
Right now, hey
It's your tomorrow
Right now,
C'mon,it's everything
Right now,
Catch a magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm,
And nothing falls into place, no
Only missed by a fraction,
Slipped a little off your pace, oh,
The more things you get, the more you want,
Just trade in one for the other,
Workin so hard, to make it easier, whoa,
Got to turn, c'mon turn this thing around
Right now, hey
It's your tomorrow
Right now,
C'mon, it's everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, do it

Right here and now
Right now

Oh,
Tell me, what are you waiting for
Turn this thing around


14. CAN'T STOP LOVIN' YOU

Hey!

There's a time and place for everything.
For everyone
We can push with all our might, but nothin's gonna come
Oh no, nothin's gonna change
An' if I ask you not to try, oh could you let it be?

I wanna hold you and say
We can't throw this all away
Tell me you won't go, you won't go
You have to hear me say

I can't stop lovin' you (Ooooo)
And no matter (Ooo-ooo-ooo) what I say or do
You know (Ooo-ooo-ooo) my heart is true, oh
(Ooo-ooo-ooo) I can't stop lovin' you

You can change your friends, your place in life
You can change your mind
We can change the things we say, and do any time
Oh no, but I think you'll find
That when you look inside your heart
Oh baby, I'll be there. Yeah!

Hold on. I'm holdin' on
Baby, just come on, come on, come on
I just wanna hear you say

I can't stop lovin' you (Ooooo)
And no matter (Ooo-ooo-ooo) what you say or do
You know (Ooo-ooo-ooo) my heart is true, oh-oh!
I can't (Ooo-ooo-ooo) stop lovin' you

Oh, I'm so twisted and tied
And all I remember, was how hard we tried
Only to surrender

(Ahh-ahh) And when it's over
(Ahhh-ahh) I know how it's gonna be
And true love will never die
Or, not fade away

And I can't (Ooo-ooo-ooo) stop lovin' you
And no matter (Ooo-ooo-ooo) what I say or do
You know (Ooo-ooo-ooo) my heart is true, oh
I can't (Ooo-ooo-ooo) stop lovin' you

And I know (Ooo-ooo-ooo) what I got to do
Hey Ray, what you said is true, oh
I can't (Ooo-ooo-ooo) stop lovin' you, oh no
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Oh, can't (Ooo-ooo-ooo) stop lovin' you


15. HUMANS BEING

There is just enough Christ in me
To make me feel almost guilty
Is that why God made us bleed
To make us see we're Humans Being?

You break this, I'll break all that
You break my balls with all your crap
Spread your disease like lemmings breeding
That's what makes us Humans Being

Shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on

Yeah! Some low life flat head scum infects
The sickness in his eyes reflects
You wonder why your life is screaming
Wonder why we're Humans Being

Shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on

Humans, Humans Being
We're just Humans (That's what makes us)
Humans Being (That's what makes us)
We're just humans (That's what makes us)
Humans Being (That's what makes us) We're just humans (That's what makes us)
Humans Being (That's what makes us)
Humans Being!
We're just humans (That's what makes us)
Humans Being (That's what makes us)
Humans Being!


16. CAN'T GET THIS STUFF NO MORE

Got me a date with a supermodel. Ha ha ha
I know, I know I figured "Fuck it"
Dinner at the hotel, champagne bottle
Steak and potatoes, a feather in a bucket

Tell me what is it we're pretendin'?
Not to know, and who needs proof?
I don't need so much to remember
No, no. That's how it is, when you tell the truth
Woo!

How many times does somebody lie
'Til patience (Ahh-ahh-ahh) runs her course?
Keep that in mind, when we say goodbye
'Cuz you can't (Ahh-ahh-ahh) get this stuff no more

That's the thing about self-improvement
Don't get me wrong, I plan on gettin' some soon
Outside the wire somethin's movin'
The barn burnt down now I can see the moon

A slice at a time, like a pizza pie
You (Ahh-ahh-ahh) serve up the truth, don't want it anymore
Keep that in mind, when we say goodbye
'Cuz you can't (Ahh-ahh-ahh) get this stuff no more

Woo!

How many times does somebody lie
'Fore (Ahh-ahh-ahh) patience runs her course?
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye
'Cuz you can't (Ahh-ahh-ahh) get this stuff no more

(A slice at a time) Wha-oh yeah!

Wha-oh! (Ahh-ahh-ahh) Can't get that stuff no more!
Better keep that in mind! (Keep it in mind)
When we say our goodbyes
'Cuz you can't get this stuff no more-ah!

Not this stuff baby


17. ME WISE MAGIC
