1. SEVEN WISHES

If you were handed seven wishes
Would you turn your back for more
Would you hold on tight to what you have
Would you try to change the score

If you were given back a lifetime
Would you find some room for me
Oh, won't you take my hand and walk away
Know it all was meant to be

Heart aching
Heart breaking
Hearts changing
Never want the same thing

Rise to the sun with seven wishes
Will you turn into stone with seven wishes
And your eyes on the run with seven wishes
Seven wishes

If we could travel back in time now
When I handed you the key
Oh I know you learned your magic well
Would you use the magic on me

Are the changes for the better
Do the lonely ones agree
I see you handing out the promises
That were meant for only me

Heart aching
Heart breaking
Hearts changing
Never want the same thing

Rise to the sun with seven wishes
Will you turn into stone with seven wishes
And your eyes on the run with seven wishes
Seven wishes

Heart aching
Heart breaking
Hearts changing
Never want the same thing

Heart aching
Heart breaking
Hearts changing
Never want the same thing

Rise to the sun with seven wishes
Will you turn into stone with seven wishes
And your eyes on the run with seven wishes
Seven wishes


2. FACES

Faces
Pictures on the wall
Do you sleep at all
When you sleep
Faces
Burning in your mind
Faces

She's trapped inside her own world
And I'm trying to get in
And she doesn't know what's gin' on
Or where she might have been
She talks to many people
And she lives life through their eyes
And the voices down the hall
Tell her no reason where or why
All of your life
You've been missing the answer
It should be easy to tell

You see faces
Pictures on the wall
Do you sleep at all
When you sleep
Faces
Burning in your mind
Will it be the lies that you see

She hears the words of people
That live deep in her mind
And she wants to feel the passion
That's locked up inside
The pictures now are falling
There's no trace at all
And the voices that were calling her
No longer call

All of your life
You've been missing the answer
It should be easy to tell

You see faces
Pictures on the wall
Do you sleep at all
When you sleep
Faces
Burning in your mind
Will it be the lies

What do you see?

All of your life
You've been hearing the answer
It should be easy to tell

No more faces
Faces
Do you see faces
Burning in your mind
No more faces

Hear me call, hear me call, hear me call.....


3. FOUR IN THE MORNING

Four in the morning
Came without a warning
Everybody's got a place to be
I got holes in my conscience
Shot with a vengeance
I must have been a fool not to see

I need you bad
It's hard to live without your company
I need you bad, so bad
I can't take it you see
Oh, I...

Can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you
I can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you

There was a time when I knew you
I held my body to you
Made you feel like you never felt before
And now it's all in the distance
Still you keep resisting
I love you like never before


Oh, I need you bad
It's hard to live without your tender touch
I need you bad, so bad
I guess you're playing me tough
Oh, I...

Can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you
I can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you
I guess I was going
In the wrong direction
I guess I was thrown for a while
I need to see you smile
I need you so, yeah

I must have been going
In the wrong direction
I guess I was thrown for a while

I need you bad
It's hard to live without your company
I need you bad, so bad
I can't take it you see
I need you bad
It's hard to live without your tender touch
I need you bad, so bad
I'm only taking so much
Oh, I...

Can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you
I can't take anymore
I can't fake anymore
It's such a hard time loving you


4. I NEED A WOMAN

I need a woman
To wipe away my tears
Keep me warm
And sing me bedtime lullabies
I need a woman
Put away my toys
See a man in a boy
That's still growing

Oh, I... Oh, I... Oh, I...
I need a woman

I need a woman
Make me feel all undone
Hang me out, hang me on
Take me slow now

I need a woman
Find a window in my soul
Bring me in from the cold
That's where I'm dying

Oh, I... Oh, I... Oh, I...
I need a woman
Oh, I... Oh, I...
I need a woman
Oh, yes I do

I can see her now
As she takes me out
With a wink of her eye
And down I go
For the longest time
Do you tell me
I don't need to know why
I got a fire inside
And a feeling I'd die
For another night

Oh, I...
I need a woman

I can see her now
As she takes me out
For another night
Hot and sweat
As I shiver and shake
Can you tell me
If it's do or die
I got a fire below
And a feeling I'd go
For another try

Oh, I...
I need a woman


5. SENTINAL STREET

Saw you walking out on Sentimental Street
What'cha doing out there
Who you trying to be
I know what you're thinking
Cause I've been there myself
I've been kicked so many times
I don't know nothing else
Still I noticed your urgency
And recognized the flair
That ya got from chasing
All those East coast dares
And I've seen it before
It happens time and again
All cut up inside
Yet you're caught in a spin

Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Take a good hard look
There ain't nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find out
Guess I'll leave it up to you

Saw you dancing out at Madame Wong Two's
You did them same two steps
That I taught you back in June
Heard you dined last night
At Conte Razor's Cafe
Did you get your fill
Did you think ya had to pay
Still I noticed your urgency
And recognized the pain
And I'm sure it's the same
You feel again and again
And I wish I could get us
That second chance
But you're having too much fun
With your sudden romance

Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Take a good hard look
There ain't nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find out
Guess I'll leave it up to you

Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Take a good hard look
There ain't nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find out
Guess I'll leave it up to you

Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Oh, take a good hard look
There ain't nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
Will you ever find us
Guess I'll leave it up to you
Saw you walking out on Sentimental Street
What'cha doing out there
Who you trying to be
Out on Sentimental Street
In the Avenues
WIll you ever find us
Guess I'll leave it up to you


6. THIS BOYS NEEDS TO ROCK

Kid out of touch
Laying down with a dream
On a runaway night
Got a feel for the scene
A girl with lots of tricks
Like to lay them on me
I'd forgotten what it's like
To be seventeen

Well I say fast
She say slow
And so the story goes
She say stop
And I say go, and go, and go, and wow
This boy needs to rock

Tonight, tonight, tonight
This boy needs to rock
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I need to rock

Up real late
Trading money for kicks
She got all of the moves
I got all of the licks
She can tear at my heart
I'm always begging for more
She can cut me real deep
She can take me real far

Well, I say fast
She say slow
And so the story goes
She say stop
And I say go, and go, and go, and wow
This boy needs to rock

Tonight, tonight, tonight
This boy needs to rock


7. I WILL FOLLOW YOU

If I could paint a picture
Of the days gone by
The wind blowing through your hair
Life without a single care
Every picture tells a story
As the cold wind cries
Now you've left and gone away
And all I have is yesterday

And always knowing well
Should'a never let you go
And to the ends of time
I'll follow you, oh yeah

I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you

And the day will come
When you say
You belong

I remember what you told me
We could never be
The tears falling from my eyes
As you stared into the night
And as I awoke this morning
To a darkened sky
All I seemed to want to say
Is take me back to yesterday

And now the rain
Washes the tears from my eyes
And to the ends of time
I'll follow you, oh yeah

I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you

And the day will come
When you say
You belong to me

I see you walking
And my heart begins to pound
Like the sound of distant thunder
As it echoes to the ground
Well I'm lost but now I'm found
I'll follow you, oh yeah

And now the rain
Washes the tears from my eyes
And to the ends of time
I swear until I die

I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you

And the day will come when you say
you belong to me


8. INTERSTATE LOVE AFFAIR

Let's go

Head out on the highway
Where there's room to move
I'm a fast boy in a bad car
I got it all
I've got nothing to lose

Interstate love affair
Interstate love affair
Interstate love affair
Interstate love affair

Run with our passions
We'll race with our eyes
Can't catch me, try to hold me
I get it all out of one single mile

Interstate love affair
Interstate love affair
Interstate love affair
Interstate love affair

Head out on the highway
Where there's room to move
I'm a fast blazing road star
Got it all
I got nothing to lose

Interstate love affair
Interstate love affair
Interstate love affair
Interstate love affair


9. NIGHT MACHINE

I can see the message
It's written in your eyes
And it's telling me
What I'm telling you

We'll walk you through the danger
And we'll take you for a ride
Still you see it through
We'll knock ‘em dead for you, yeah

Who's gonna save you this time
Welcome to the night machine
Who's gonna save you this time
Welcome to the night machine

See the faceless people
Sell you pretty lines
If you only knew
What they're trying to do

And all the gold and silver
It's slipping throught your hands
Still you're smiling away
I tell you boy, you're gonna pay

Who's gonna save you this time
Welcome to the night machine
Who's gonna save you this time
Welcome to the night machine

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the night machine
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the night machine
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the night machine
I tell you boy, you're gonna pay

Who's gonna save you this time
Welcome to the night machine
Who's gonna save you this time
Welcome to the night machine


10. GOODBYE

As the sun hides its head
Another nights rest
And the wind sings
Its same old song

And you on the edge
Never close, never far
Always there when I needed a friend

But it's hard living life
On this memory-go-round
Always up, always down
Spinning around and around and around

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

There once was a time
Never far from my mind
On the beach, on the 4th of July

I remember the sand
How you held out your hand
And we touched for what seemed a lifetime

But it's hard
Leaving all this behind me now
Like a schoolboy so lost
Never found until now

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

And it's hard
Living life on this memory-go round
Always up, always down
Spinning around and around and around

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye
And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
