1. PSYCHO CIRCUS

Found myself inside an empty room
Waitin' for the beast to make a move
Ridin' thru the T.V. air
The devil makes his playground anywhere

One day little baby
Don't you be surprised
But I'll be gone

You know that's true

Meantime all my friends are cumin' down
Overshootin' exits outta town
Trapped in cans inside of traffic stacks
As the bright lights call them back

To Psycho City

Someday if the smoke clears from your eye
You'll recognize your helter skelter life
One day little baby
Ya gonna realize
Right from wrong

I'll come right you ya

Meanwhile as the band is goin' on
Double-crossin' dodges get it on
Complicatin' every little fact
Don't ever turn your back

On Psycho City

Someday as I make my way by song
I'll find out where I should belong
Jump my wheels right off the twisted track
'Cause I'm never goin' back

To Psycho City


2. STEP ON YOU

Brown skinned woman's been trading rough
Scars across her thigh
Tell me little honey
Ain't you afraid to die

All night long I give it up
I give it to her good
She likes to be a servant
To the kings of Hollywood

Her fascination
Ride the wild side
She's so bad
Wild soul

Your explanation
Isn't gonna change my mind
Try to understand the things that you do
But this game is nearly outta time

You think that this is lovin'
But baby you're just runnin'
Always up to somethin'
Girl you got it comin'
Tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna step on you

Hey, hey, hey
Now here it goes
Right between the eyes
Let this be a lesson
A caution to the wise

Shake, shake, shake
Yeah shake that thing
The devil he don't know
He's about to get a woman
Who'll make his bones feel old

Sweetest temptation
Oh yeah your wild side
So bad
Wild soul

A moment's hesitation
Is a waste of time
You gotta head rush baby
From all the ties that bind

Baby this ain't lovin'
Nowhere left for runnin'
Ain't no more discussin'
Can ya see it comin'
Tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna step on you


3. OLD ROSE MOTEL

I see you bleed the feelings you close up
I know the pain that you hide
Oh baby please don't be no close out
Stay with me through the night

Needle Street ain't no answer
Can't dream a heartache away
Let the need be your master
All of your dreams fade away

Everything you want
Everything you want

Anything you want
Anything you want
You can find it right here

Ah no don't go
Down to the midnight motel
Oh no so low
Can't find no heaven in hell

There's a silence that comes in the morning
Leaves you screamin' at the wall
As you sit there in your easy chair
Chasin' demons at a crawl

When you feel that you'll never find
Somewhere y'll be safe to lie
Just take a look over here
Together we'll rise in a mornin' glory

Anything you want
Anything you want

Everything you want
Everything you want
You can find it right here

Don't go don't go
Down to the Old Rose Motel

Oh no don't go
Down to the midnight hotel


4. MAYBE SOMEDAY

Well I've been driftin' alone in the night
I've had the blues for you so long
I've been down, I've been confused
Searchin' for an answer baby
One that I can use

Lyin' here in the mornin' light
Promises fade like the dreams of the night
My old love, you don't come no more
Bring me lovin' baby, like you did before

Was it the time
Was it someone on your mind
Was it just love for awhile
Maybe someday when the hurtin' is gone
Baby someday love will stay on
Maybe someday we will do no wrong
I know we can make it alright babe if we try
Maybe someday

I've beed thinkin' darlin'
Of all the times before
When I needed lovin'
Why did it walk right out the door
Do I hold you too hard baby
Jealous you don't stay
I guess that's lovin' you darlin'

Is it the time
Is there someone on my mind
Is it love once in awhile
Maybe someday the need will be gone
Maybe someday I'll find to move on
Maybe someday there's a way to belong
Maybe I'll find it today
Baby our way
Maybe someday


5. BIG GOODBYE

Hey, hey, baby
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
This is the big goodbye

Remember baby
Dreams we shared
We ran with crazies
Lived on solid air

Do you remember lady
Who you used to be
Did you become the stranger
Baby you or me

I guess you were just tryin'
To keep a love alive
But baby all your lyin'
Just took it for a ride

Huh huh!

A man of constant sorrow
Under an evil eye
Oh baby when it's over
The truth is first to die

Oh I believe in magic
Fire that binds a band
Baby there's no magic
In hidin' sleight of hand

I guess that I was tryin'
To keep myself alive
But then there's no denyin'
I was losin' all my pride

Hey, hey, baby
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
This is the big goodbye

I guess you were just tryin'
To buy some piece of mind
But baby there's no buyin'
Eyesight for the blind


6. DOCTOR ME

Hey, hey, momma, well my box don't play
My strings is rusted, they're all frayed away
Hey, hey what now, my drive is shot
I'm all tied up inside a misery knot

Ain't no dancin', got no tango feet
I'm jammin' traffic down on my love street
Now I don't know what I ought to do
I've lost the lock on my groove with you

So what now honey, so I'm screwed up too
But I can't fit without my piece of you
Without your touch I won't pull through
I burn a fever like a hoodoo stew

So doctor me, baby, down to my soul
I need love to break its stranglehold
Doctor me baby, down to my soul
I need a love to bring me out of the cold

Well there ain't no words that I know to say
To make it better lord in any way
Sister, Sister, my need is you
This heart is hopin' you can treat it too

See my blood's on fire, yet I feel so cold
Oh baby touch me, make this feelin' go
Can't you see what you need to do
I feel better when I'm touched by you

So doctor me baby, down to my soul

Oh little baby, don' cha slip away
Your love in motion takes my pain away


7. I WANT YOU

I don't want the rap that yer layin'
Don't give me no abuse
I don't want no motormouth jivin'
Another lame excuse
I don't want my head to keep sayin'
Oh baby what's the use
I don't want no patter, no way
I want you

I don't want no mommasan preyin'
To strip me to the bone
I don't want no hustle today
Leave my vibe alone
I don't want to worry 'bout nothin'
There's nothin' I must own
I don't want to deal that way
I want you

I love lovin'
Oh yeah, lovin' is fine
Why no love
Why waste your time

Gotta give it someway
Can ya hold out alone
Ooo just a little lovin'
It's alright let it go

I don't want another dog makin'
Another big pretense
I don't wanna be brought down
On a capital offense
I don't want no pressure drop baby
Don't make it so intense
I don't want no promise, no way
I want you

It's only lovin' baby
Get it back down the road
Yes it comes back
Like a magic motherload

Make a lovin' man
Make him know it's alright
Ooo, that givin' love
Gonna get us thru the night

I don't want the song you keep playin'
All lovers are insane
I don't want my heart to be breakin'
I want you

I don't want the trouble of lovin'
And here it comes again
I don't want the game you like playin'
I want you


8. NEVER TRUST A PRETTY FACE

Ya leave home cos' it brings ya down
There's no attention from a sleepy midwest town
Make ya way to the center stage
A spotlight makes it justifiable rage
It's reinvention as celebrity
Don't touch, just look at me
Oh no, never trust a pretty face
Oh no, never trust a pretty face

You said baby put your trust in me
When darkness fall I will always help you see
Stole the key from tomorrow's door
You had all but you only wanted more
Sold your soul for the company
You went and took advantage of me
Oh no, never trust a pretty face
Oh no, never trust a pretty face

A silent face in a magazine
You learn how to lie as you sell the world a dream
Listen now for the drop of a name
A steppin' stone on the stairway to fame
I only saw what I wanted to see
I let my heart make a fool outta me
Oh no, never trust a pretty face
Oh no, never trust a pretty face


9. LOVE IS A LIE

Free me from this restless curse
That follows me through the dark
Bring back an innocence
A strength to fill my heart
In this world of emptiness
That I have come to know
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
When the promise is broken
When your eyes open
Then the wind whispers and sighs
Love is a lie

My bird of paradise
Colored in blues and gold
She's got a soul on ice
And calculation cold
This bird of avarice
Has left me now I know
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
When the promise is broken
When your eyes are open
When the wind whispers and sighs
Love is a lie

So breathe a last and broken sigh
Oh silent night come now to me
And if I dream of light come down
And be with me and in the dark we will not see
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
Love is only a lie
Only a lie, only a lie
When the promise is broken
When your eyes open
When the wind whispers and cries
Love is only a lie, only a lie


10. GET ON HOME

Been thinkin' now what I should do
I gotta decide
Waitin' here on the likes o' you
My Thursday child

I'll face the music that I hear in my head
As the night rolls by
Song of a drifter lost to the road
Tryin' to reach for the sky

Gotta get on the road
Gotta long way to go
Gotta get on home
Gotta get on the road
Gotta long way to go
Gotta get on home

So nothin' lasts n' I can't change
Been this way too long
Love burns so fast when you see the flame
Y'gotta let it shine on

God only knows it's hard to find
Ooo a place to belong
And as you grow to find your way
Ya have to move on

So I go my way like a shadow at night
Like a name on the wind
I'll sail away to an ocean of love
Oh let the tide roll in

Gotta get on the road
Gotta long way to go
Gotta get back home
Gotta get on the road
Gotta long way to go
Gotta get back home

Like a river runnin' outta the snow
Down to the ocean I'll go
Like a river with a soul of its own
I gotta let my love flow

14. WASTED ROCK RANGER

Well I'm a wasted rock ranger
I live the life of danger
On the road to find a higher high
I don't need no one's affection
All I need is my injection
The music of wild rock will get me by *

I've been doin' gigs since I was ten
I really can't remember when
I ever had a dollar to my name
My ears are blown, my eyes are red
I got big holes inside my head
Snorting too much crystal and cocaine

I have bennies with the breakfast toast
Quaalude with the evening roast
Assorted snorts of powder in between
I don't think a day's gone by
That I wasn't drunk or high
It's the only way I keep my sanity

From Kegger's Den to Hooterville
My flaming tricks have topped the bill
A thousand empty bottles earn my name
Endless trains of one night stands
Sharing gigs with half-assed bands
And all the local groupies lay the same

Well I could have had a payin' job
Workin' for some fucked-up slob
Wife and family, true security
But I left that shit behind
For that heavy metal grind
'Cause rock 'n roll is in my blood to stay


Hey! You're a wasted rock ranger
You'll live life of danger
Sing this song and follow it till the end
When you reach number one
You can overdose for fun
And go and visit Jimi and his friends

Hey! You're a wasted rock ranger
You'll live a life of danger
Sing this song and follow it till the end
When we reach number one
Hey! We'll all overdose for fun
And we'll hang out with Jimi and his friends
Yee haw!
