1. MY WORLD

On the horizon, there's a storm on the rise;
black seas are forming, there's terror in the skies.
My life has been a river headed for a fall;
These days I can never, chile, make sense of it all.
My world is hangin' on a line,
here in my world, my world.
Searchin' for some peace in time,
my world's darker every day,
here in my world, my world.

I can't find a meaning in the season of the time,
I'm standing on the edge, waiting for a sign.
But I can't go on this way,
I don't believe I'll stay, just won't stay.

My world is hangin' on a line,
here in my world, my world.
Looking for some love this time,
my world's smaller every day,
here in my world, my world

My world's hangin', on a line,
here in my world, my world.
Searchin' for some peace in time,
my world's colder every day,
here in my world, my world.

This is my world.


2. LIL MAMA

Twenty minutes left 'til midnight, I'm starin' at the door,
I swore this time I wouldn't wait no more
Everytime she leaves me hangin', I suffer and I bleed,
But when she gives me lovin', she gimme all I need;
And she knows I want her more than I can bear.

Hey, Little Mama, won'cha come along with me,
I got that mood for loving and I need some company.
Hey, little sister why don'cha come along,
It feels so good, I know it can't be wrong.
Hey hey, Little Mama

Well, I got no paid vacation and I got no limousine,
ain't got no star on Hollywood or my picture in a magazine.
But I've more than I can handle, and she's more than I can spend,
So here I am waitin' 'round again;
And she knows I need her more than I can stand.

Right here in your lovin' arms, I wish that I could stay;
Endless nights of ecstasy ride my blues away.
Darlin' can't believe that I'm starin' at this door,
I swore last time I wouldn't wait no more.


3. WHERE IS THE LOVE

Where is the love, that waits for me?
Where is the love, where is the love,
To care for me, to shelter me?

Alone, I try, to see the world throught innocent eyes;
But throught these eyes it's all the same.
Days go by, sands of time, love denied, and as I wait,
Alone remain.

...to comfort me?

Passions played, lovers games abate;
The seasons change, and then the fire is gone...

Where is the love that's gonna save me?
Where is the light to guide my way?
Where is the love that sighs,
The clear blue skies, an angel's eyes,
Where is the one to call my own? Oh, yeah.

...to comfort me?

...to shelter me? Yeah...

Oh, where is the love?
Where is the love, to cry for me, to die for me?


4. HAND ON THE TRIGGER

As the light calls back the shadows,
She rises from her chair; puts away the past,
And looks into the mirror.
The faces she sees, so empty, hardly recognized,
But the tears of a heart left broken, linger in her eyes.

Gotta find a way, some way to ease the pain...

With her hand on the trigger, hand on her heart,
Just one more shot for love, one last shot for love,
One more shot for love.

She dreams of times remembered,
But those were better days,
When the love they shared ran true and clear
Like the lines on an empty page.
It's funny how it changes,
She sees how love is blind,
With the nights she spends now waiting,
Forever on her mind.

Gotta find a way, some way to ease the pain;
Had herself enough, she's gonna have her day.

Yes, she feels so helpless, like she's outside of herself;
Visions of a life denied, raging on and on inside.

With a hand on her heart.


5. EASY

Got a handful of nothin', and a rusty old bed;
Got our pockets full of wishes, dreams inside our heads.
But this ole world ain't got anything that your love,
Your sweet love, ain't gonna give.

No wait a minute, darlin',
I think there's something you ought to hear.
Still crazy 'bout your lovin', girl, even after all these years.
Got a gleam in your eye, and a smile that never fails
To recognize when I'm feelin', feelin' blue.

You're so easy to love, like a warm summer night,
You're so easy to love, and it sure feels right,
You're so easy to love, and I'll be a fool just for you.

Yes, it's been awhile since
I've been lovin' you, chile,
Don'cha leave me alone,
Don'cha leave me alone, oh, no.
Don'cha leave me alone, never leave me alone.

Now, they say hearts often wander,
Well, let me make one thing perfectly clear;
This ole heart of mine, darlin', is goin' be stayin' right here.
'Cause the love that you give is like a sweet song playin' through my soul...

You're so easy to love, like a walk in the rain,
You're so easy to love, I'd do it all again,
You're so easy to love, and I'll be a fool just for you.

You're so easy to love,
And I'll be a fool just for you, yes I will.


6. PAIN OVERLOAD

Well, I'm oh-so tired of livin',
But there's no easy way to go;
Guess I'll keep on fightin' for my soul.
Feelin' so low, don't let is show,
When the heartache comes, ohh...

And so I stand alone in the cold of the night,
Until I can't go on anymore,
And when the fever takes me, ohhh...

I get a pain overload, and when it's rainin' down I know,
I'm in a pain overload, always the same.
I get a pain overload, and this pain is all I know;
I'm in a pain overload, can't stop the rain, can't stop the rain.

I've heard it said, it's easy if you try;
Ooh, but I've been told,
Life's hard and then you die.
Isn't is so? Can't let it show,
When the heartbreak comes.

And so I stand alone in the chill of the night,
Until I can't hold on anymore,
And then my demons take me down...

Into a pain overload, and when it's rainin' down I know,
I'm in a pain overload, always the same.
I get a pain overload, there's not a pain I wouldn't know;
I'm in a pain overload, can't stop the rain, can't stop the rain.


7. LIVES IN CHAINS

Freak shows, talk shows, living off our misery;
Dozens of psychics, celebrity sidekicks,
Tellin' us all just what we need to know.

Guess it's a sign of the times.
Guess it's the way of the day;
Nothing but vertical lines, empty minds.

Yeah, we hear ya talkin',
But we don't know what it means;
You just keep on talkin'
As we live our lives in chains.

Hey, there, Miss Oprah, what's doin' today?
Just smilin' at me on TV. Why go anywhere?
We can shop from a chair, in this remote society.

I seen it comin' around; will I be here for the day,
Can we survive underground? Goin' down...

We're living in chains,
While you're eatin' at our brains;
We live our lives in chains.

Comin' on the air, gonna knock ya in your chair,
Boy, wait'll you hear the news:
Got a woman comin' on who can really get it on,
Gonna show you what she can do;
Got a family in a fight, gonna help 'em get it right,
Gonna straighten out their miserable lives.
We got it all here on the show,
And we want you all to know:
If ya miss this one, you're gonna die...
Turn me on!

Yeah, we hear you talkin, but we don't care what it means,
Just love to hear you talkin' as we live our lives in chains.

We're livin' in chains, I just don't understand,
Why we live our lives in chains.
Shackled to the air, as we live our lives in chains.


8. ANYWAY I CAN

I took a look around, it's time to shake this town;
It's bringin' me so down, hey, yeah, I'm on my way;
So tired of people's greed and how they make you bleed,
When they got all they need but tell me, "Boy, you gonna pay."

Cuttin' loose, slippin' from the noose;
Loud and proud, dancin' on a cloud.
If there ever was a time, that time is now.
Gonna do it, anyway I can;
Gonna make it or break it, anyway I can,
Gonna take it, anyway I can;
It's my life in my hand, I hope ya understand.

A friend told me today, if it keeps on this way,
He's gonna make a play, and do the Big Goodbye.
Seems everywhere I look, the takin's all been took,
And then someone writes a book tellin' me
It's gonna be alright.

So naive, I really can't conceive,
How people lie, just waitin' 'round to die,
Lookin' up for answers from the sky.

Gonna do it.


9. MAN IN THE SKY

Man In The Sky, throw me a lifeline;
I'm just gettin', by burnin' the midnight oil.
Man In The Sky, I'm tryin' to tell you,
I come to find it's not worth fightin' for.

Ah, the sun in my eyes is all that I'm livin' for,
Ah, full moon on the rise is all that's worth dyin' for.

Man In The Sky, I'm dyin' to see you,
I realize that I'm getting old.
Man In The Sky, I'm trying to tell you,
It's time to fly, freedom is my choice.

Man In The Sky, I'm caught in the pipeline,
I'm just getting by burning the midnight oil...
Man In The Sky, I'm trying to tell you,
I've come to find it ain't worth fighting for.

...All that's worth dying for

Man In The Sky, Man In The Sky,
Dyin' to see you, dyin' to see you, ohhh, ohhh...
It's all that's worth dyin' for,
All that's worth dyin' for.
Man In The Sky...
It's all that's worth dyin' for...
It's all that's worth dyin' for.


10. AIN'T NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY

She was just sixteen, she was so sweet and clean
She walked just like she know where she'd been.
She set my blood on fire, I said "Are you for hire?"
That's when she turned on me and screamed:

"That ain't no way to treat a lady,
That ain't no way to treat a lady."

She had a Southern smile, had a New York style,
I couldn't let her get away.
She was the girl of my dreams,
And because I was mean, I had to listen to her say

I had to have her bad, but she left me mad;
That ain't the way it should be.
I'm gonna find that girl, take her around the world,
I'm gonna love her 'till she screams...


11. MILES AWAY

Wheels keep on rollin', mindless of our flight;
As towns lie in slumber, we fade into the night.
The cities, so familiar, are like a long-lost friend;
With open arms they shelter me, and bring me home to them.

And we're miles away, always miles away.
Rollin' on down the highway, livin' for the day;
Seems I'm always miles away.

Just ouside of Memphis, where Rock 'n Roll began,
We say a prayer for Elvis, then on the road again.
The mind begins to wander, as memories unfold;
The music on the radio reminds us of our homes.

Sometimes it seems the road will never end,
Sometimes it seems my only friend yeah, yeah, yeah.
What will tomorrow tell, I just can't say today,
Because I'm always miles away, miles away.

The boy I left at home took his first steps today;
I'll watch him on the video before I leave to play.

'Cause we're miles away, always miles away.
Rollin' on down the highway, livin' for the day;
Seems I'm always miles and miles away,
Always miles away.
Oh yeah, all of my life is rollin', livin' just to play,
Seems I'm always miles away, yeah,
Seems I'm always miles away,
Seems I'm always miles away, miles away.
