1. WHEN I'M IN THE MOOD

It's getting late and I wanna go
But there's a price to pay for going to the devil's show
And when the clock strikes three smoke fills the air
You'll see the curtains rise and baby I'm there
I'm a knock-down, drag out, son of a bitch
Just a hell raising mother with a burning itch
I think about you when I'm in the mood
And when they shout my name I wanna move
Just get out of my way, here comes the wrecking crew
I'm gonna bump and shake
I've got the rhythm and blues
So when I come to town start spreading the news
I think about you when I'm in the mood
Oh Lord, shake it down
It's getting late and I wanna go
But there's a price to pay for going to the devil's show
And when the clock strikes three smoke fills the air
You'll see the curtains rise and baby I'm there
I'm a knock-down, drag out, son of a bitch
Just a hell raising mother with a burning itch
I think about you when I'm in the mood


2. WOMAN IN LOVE

Feels so good, so high I can't come down
I'm gonna push you to the limit
I'm gonna turn you around
Take a little ride on my soul train
I'm gonna get a little lass
Hardly know your name
Pump it to the left
Dig it to the right
Pretty little baby gonna rock all night
She's just a woman in love
And I'm a rock and roll star
She's just a woman in love
And baby who do you think you are?
Might get hurt, I've seen a thousand girls
And if you spend the night with me babe
You've been around the world
So don't you try and waste my time
You'll be out my door
Cause Benny and the Jets
Are gonna get them some more
Pump it to the left
Dig it to the right
Pretty little baby gonna rock you tonight
She's just a woman in love
And I'm a rock and roll star
She's just a woman in love
And baby who do you think you are?


3. TIME

I've run with the whirlwinds and I've fought with the law
Rose up in your doorways when
You thought you had seen it all
Ten minutes passing and there's clouds all in your head
You can hear me knocking, but you know I'm far from dead
And it's time
Though it's hard to remember, you can never forget
Take a taste when the wind blows and see the diamonds in your head
Silver spoon is in your garden, Mother Nature breathes
So take a stand in the pathway and run, run with me
Time keeps on going
Keeps me alive, keeps me growing
Crystal ball sees The Madman, through the eyes of The Sun
Tells the tale of a lifetime, his spirit marches on
And with the change of a season, take me up where I'm free
Let me stand in the gateway, this fire I must see
Time keeps on going
Keeps me alive, keeps me growing
When the hand of The Piper brings evil to his knees
Hear the crash of the hammer strike in misery
Take me up, take me now
Take the bullet from my brain
Can't keep on counting, counting time
Hear the scream of the wasteland, where The Joker is wild
And if you dance with the children,
Hear the laughter of denial
Silver spoon is in the garden, Mother Nature breathes
If it's all an illusion, every poet is a king
Time keeps on going
Keeps me alive, keeps me growing


4. MONEY

I got kicked out of school and I broke every rule
I was looking for a good, good time
Man I couldn't walk a straight line
And then it all started in, I was looking for some money
I was trying to find a job but couldn't taste the honey
Mommy thought her son was going to moon
But I knew better, how to get some soon
If it's money you want, if it's money you need
You can take what you want, there ain't nothing for free
If it's money you've got, you're the friend that I need
Cause a penny's alot when nothings for free
I got thrown in the jug, and I got stomped like some bug
I was having such a shitty time
Man I should have walked that straight line
Cause if it all started in, if I gotta show you honey
Think I'd get a job and you could go
And stick your stinking money
Mommy said her son was going to the moon
I knew better, how to get some soon
If it's money you want, if it's money you need
You can take what you want, there ain't nothing for free
If it's money you've got, you're the friend that I need
Cause a penny's alot when nothings for free


5. STICK IT

I know the teasers, I know the queens
But I need something that is right in between
I like the bitches on the south side
I like those girls cause they can rock
I've heard it time and time again
You play with fire you can never win
Don't you think that I can taste it?
Get down and kick it in
Stick it, you're so right
Don't want no rats in my cellar tonight
Stick it, you're gonna shake
Why don't you stick it, stick it tonight
I'm sick of posers, I'm sick of dweebs
They don't know nothing about what's fueling me
I hate the leeches in the dance clubs
I need a place where I can rock
I've said it time and time again
You start the fire you can always win
And don't you know I'm gonna change it
Look out, I'm coming in
Stick it, you're so right
Don't want no rats in my cellar tonight
Stick it, you're gonna shake
Why don't you stick it, stick it tonight
Sometimes I walk these streets at night
Thinking, I don't know how much more I can take
Sometimes I just want to tell somebody to piss off
I'm not some two faced punk
That gets his kicks out of playing for free
I'm just a genuine product of the working class
Stick it, you're so right
Don't want no rats in my cellar tonight
Stick it, you're gonna shake
Why don't you stick it, stick it tonight


6. MY RELIGION

Woke up this morning to the six o' clock news
Some little loser he's got something to prove
Well you know he's got a big mouth running
For someone standing so small
Phony man with his head in the sky trying to take it all
We're sick and tired of the words that you preach
Your threats and values and the garbage you teach
Some man with a Bible in his hand says we're living in sin
You criticize until there's blood in our eyes
We're gonna do you in
We're gonna stomp down, roll your town, break you today
So if you're knocking our religion just get out of our way
Stomp down, roll your town, break you today
Don't go knocking my religion
Just get out of my way
I've seen them hurt and I've seen them in the shadows
It's such a crying shame
They've taken money from the crippled in the ghettos
So don't you play their game
They'll lock you up and they'll hang you out to dry
If the fat man wins
Speak you mind, you don't have to compromise
Because it ain't a sin
We're gonna stomp down, roll your town, break you today
So if you're knocking our religion just get out of our way
Stomp down, roll your town, break you today
Don't go knocking my religion
Just get out of my way
No pen, no lives
You've got to say what you feel inside
Break through the jaded minds
Don't tell us what we can do
We're gonna stomp down, roll your town, break you today
So if you're knocking our religion just get out of our way
Stomp down, roll your town, break you today
Don't go knocking my religion
Just get out of my way
You will never bring us down and you can twist it all around
You can try another way but there will come another day
Tell them what I've said and put a bullet through my head
Twist the arm of the law but you will never stop us all
You can start another war and you can draw another line
The only thing for sure, you won't rape another mind
We're gonna stomp down, roll your town, break you today
Religion


7. GOING BACK TO MEXICO

So many freaks trying to pull the wool on me
But I take another drink and I go another round
Thinking maybe this ain't for me
Cause I remember her name, I knew it oh so well
Margarita baby talk to me
Gotta meet me at the wishing well
I'm really feeling up, I've got my feet in the sand
Ain't it just like old times you know
Doing the best I can
I'm going back, back to Mexico
Where the summer lies and the cool wind blows
Won't you take me back, back to Mexico
Take me where I want to go and leave me alone
One too many times people copping out on me
And if I take another punch everybody's going down
I'm gonna kill them like they're killing me
Cause I fight my neighbors and I fight my wife
I've been ticking through time in the picket line
Man there's got to be a better life
Give me sunny beaches and that killer wine
I'll be drinking all night, maybe get in a fight
I'll be doing fine
I'm going back, back to Mexico
Where the summer lies and the cool wind blows
Won't you take me back, back to Mexico
Take me where I want to go and leave me alone
I like the high life and I like my whiskey straight
I don't need some jerk to slow me down
This car ain't got no brakes
I like to fly like a bird in the sky
And I could have so many girls
I like a drink in my hand and my feet in the sand
And I'm on top of the worldrld
I'm going back, back to Mexico
Where the summer lies and the cool wind blows
Won't you take me back, back to Mexico
Take me where I want to go and leave me alone


8. IN HEAVEN

Out on the run, she's got cold weary eyes
Face like a stranger, so young to die
Took away her children, took away her gold
Somehow this story ain't what was told
Life goes on
You sit and wonder about things you've done
Man in the mirror, your time will come
You took away her children, took away her dreams
So take your promise, cause she believes
In Heaven there's a place in which she's living
And Heaven ain't the only place she knows
In Heaven hear the voices of the angels
Heaven
When the bell tolls and it's time to rise
We are all just mannequins who've said our last goodbyes
Feel the roar of the thunder, hear a final scream
See the death of the devil, but all this really means
In Heaven there's a place in which she's living
And Heaven ain't the only place she knows
In Heaven hear the voices of the angels
Heaven
When the night falls, out in the distance calling
She'll reach out to the sun
And if the tide turns she'll be your guiding light
Watching, waiting, and touching Heaven
And when the time comes, you'll hear the voices calling
Watching, waiting and touching Heaven
In Heaven there's a place in which she's living
And Heaven ain't the only place she knows
In Heaven hear the voices of the angels
Heaven


9. TWO WORLDS

Wide awake in your bed
Heart's beating music in my head
You took the bounty, I kissed the sky
Holy water's got me running wild
Seven days and forty nights
City rats, snake eyes
You know I'm out there with a losing hand
They're gonna take me to some foreign land
Such a strange place inside my head
Makes it hard to breathe when I find
Somebody's playing doctor with my mind
When I feel you dreaming
Two worlds in which we live in
Rolls me, stones me
And tears me up inside
They got me walking the wire
Mother did you call my name
I heard a voice driving me insane
I kick the walls and I never sleep
Been reaching in way to deep
You say it's high time in your pick up line
You count the numbers and you're right on time
I'm out alone with the lines in my face
My Judge and Jury was the human race
Such a strange place inside my head
Makes it hard to breathe when I find
Somebody's playing doctor with my mind
When I feel you dreaming
Two worlds in which we live in
Rolls me, stones me
And tears me up inside
They got me walking the wire
And I'm coming your way


10. ONLY THE WIND

Sometimes when I'm alone, I feel I'm burning up inside
Look up to the stars in the sky, trying to find a reason why
My world is painted shades of grey
Sometimes I fly with the wind, when
I feel these walls are closing in
In these crowded streets I stand, with my guitar in hand
I'm such an ordinary man, yes I am
But I'm not a prisoner, no I'm not a prisoner
Only the wind blows to the east
Wish I could live it all again
Hold on, only to your dreams
Only the wind blows to the east
Just yesterday I saw a boy, maybe my reflection in the water
Lonely child if the wind should swirl
Don't you know you could change the world
And my life that's slowly fading grey
And when I fly with the wind
When I feel these walls have all closed in
In these crowded streets I'll stand, with my guitar in hand
I'm just an ordinary man, yes I am
But I'm not a prisoner, no I'm not a prisoner
Only the wind blows to the east
Wish I could live it all again
Hold on, only to your dreams
Only the wind blows to the east
