1. AMERICAN MUSIC

American music you can hear it all over the world
Right now somewhere this minute there's a radio playin on
And it's playing that rhythm and blues
It's hot dresses and high-heeled shoes
With the Ike ettes playin and the Four Tops singin the same old songs

Gonna take you on a four four ride
Gonna let the drummer be my guide
Hangin' around, Hitchin' a ride, Comin' on strong, getting excited

[Chorus]
American Music you can hear it all over the world
American Music you can shout it all over the world

Whenever I'm feelin' down there's only one thing pullin' me through
Twelve bar shuffle and a mega watt stereo
You can hear that Texas sound and a blue eyed soul review
A make it over night mid western power trio

Gonna take you on a four four ride
Gonna let the drummer be my guide
Hangin' around Hitchin' a ride Comin' on strong getting excited

[Chorus]


2. YOUNG AND RESTLESS

Standing at attention, waiting for the bell to ring
After all the crap I've been through gonna make my break
Whatever it takes to let them know that I ain't foolin'

Young and Restless Runnin' out of control...
Young and Restless Headin' for an overload...

Going for reaction, good or bad I don't care
Doing something drastic to turn the adrenaline on
Then take a stand and say I didn't know what I was doing

Young and Restless Runnin' out of control...
Young and Restless Headin' for an overload...

Trying for attention, recognition for the pain
Flyin' solo, its a vision so lost and so alone
Then all at once, it's gonna hit you without warning

Young and Restless Runnin' out of control...
Young and Restless Headin' for an overload...


3. SATELLITE

Watch out for bad reception
'cause the night has a thousand eyes
Connected to your television
lookin' at you!

Sky high flyin' in circles
keepin' an eye on the world
Watching over civilization
lookin' at you!

We got communication..5..4..3..2..1
Satellite

At the main nerve centre in Houston
your name lights up on a screen
Flashin' up a digital read-out
tellin' on you!

It's a no-win situation
they got a fix on you
It's a silicone revolution
turnin' on you!

We got communication..5..4..3..2..1
Satellite


4. PARTY LINE

Operator got a party line
Havin' trouble gettin' to that girl of mine
Gotta stay in touch, I don't want to lose her
She's really too much, I gotta talk to her

It's a mighty long way to Louisiana...
G.T.E. is messin' up my plans
Lines get crossed everytime I call her
I can't get through at all

[Chorus]
I try to get in touch with you
Party Line
No luck no matter what I do
Party Line

Remember Chuck Berry on the radio
say "Help me operator, get the one I know"
I'm holdin' that line, reachin' my extension
I'm runnin' out of dimes so won't you pay attention

In between the buzzin' and the ringing tones
I tell her that I love her but we're not alone
Who's that voice diggin' all the gossip
I can't get through at all

[Chorus]

Hang up and try it again...

It's a mighty long way to Louisiana...
G.T.E. is messin' up my plans
Lines get crossed everytime I call her
I can't get through at all

[Chorus]

(Outro)


5. ACID RAIN

You are the fairest angel of them all
It's hard to imagine that you felt the same
Just like an heiress, you inherited my soul
Then, without caring, you gave it away

Acid Rain
Fallin' from my eyes, draggin' me under
Acid Rain
Water in my eyes, can't you hear the thunder
Acid Rain
Acid Rain

I can't believe it how we say the things we do
Why do we torture the ones that we love?
What is the reason for the way I mistreat you?
When will we learn that enough is enough?

[Chorus]

(Solo)

Tears like a waterfall down river from my heart
Burnin' your memory into my brain
Turnin' these tortured words on paper into scars
Guilty the verdict, nothing remains

[Chorus]

(Outro)


6. ANOTHER WORLD

Hearin' the song of a thousand and one politicians
They sing you a song but the words are the same as before
They deal you a hand, but all of the Aces are missin'
I feel the earth movin' under my feet
Where the heart keeps jumpin' a beat
Shakin' the house down, wakin' me up from a dream

[Chorus]
Here comes Another World!
Here comes Another World!

[Chorus]

With thunder and lightening, tomorrow is on the horizon
But if you stay outside then you'll get caught in the rain
Keep your hand on the wheel, your foot on the floor
And you're drivin'
Cause when you're out so close to the edge
You need eyes in the back of your head
Takin' a chance on never comin' back here again

[Chorus] (x2)

So now that you know that the order is changing
It's a sign of the times, be first now or later be last
We're flyin' a flag for the next generation
Cause when you're out so close to the edge
You need eyes in the back of your head
Takin' a chance on never comin' back here again

[Chorus] (x2)

(Outro)


7. THE VISITOR

Leave the backdoor open
Turn on all the lights
Got a house guest coming
And he's staying overnight
Crashing on the sofa sleeping on the floor
He said he wouldn't be any trouble
But I can't take it anymore
I can't believe I let a stranger in my house
I let him in and now he's trying to throw me out

Make room for the visitor
Stick around for the visitor
Stay tuned for the visitor
He's coming to town
Watch out

He's cleaning out the freezer
Sitting in my chair
Using up my razor
Stealing underwear
He's drinking all my liquor
Taking out my date
Spending all my money
And coming home late
He wants to rearrange the furniture tonight
He's asking me to change a colour he don't like

Make room for the visitor
Stick around for the visitor
Stay tuned for the visitor
He's coming to town
Watch out

He's waking all the neighbors
By running down the street
With his eyebrows painted and
His pants down to his knees
Screaming stark naked
For all the world to see
They arrested him for questions
He said that he was me

Make room for the visitor
Stick around for the visitor
Stay tuned for the visitor
He's coming to town
Watch out


8. DECEPTION

I hear you talkin' all the time
I'm catchin' every word
But the story is the same as the one in your eyes
Who do you think you're foolin'?
Now don't tell me no lies
You're standing on a dark side of your love

Deception
I'm not being fooled by deception
Deception
You thought you could put something over me

What's this I hear around town?
Have you been cheatin' on me?
You better tell me the truth now about love
Stop this guessing game
It's just a slight of heart
When the show is over you can hide

Deception
I'm not being fooled by deception
Deception
It's only illusions of love

(Break)

(Solo)

I'm tired of alibis
I want a 'face to face'
I need to know your feelings deep inside
Don't take me part of the way
Baby, show me your love
Now it's so revealing.....you can't hide

Deception
I won't be confused by deception


9. HIDEAWAY

In the heart of the west coast city
it's hard to get what you need
The streets are filled with a million voices
the sound of impatient feet
But I, I'm so alone in a crowd
it's drivin' me to extremes!

If I listen long enough to the line
..then I'm gonna know it's time to hide

Hide-Hideaway
Hide-Hideaway
Hide-Hideaway...

With the Taxman on the left side
and the Rent man off to the right
The traffic jammed up in between 'em
you can't even put up a fight
"Don't just stand there...move along!"
I spin my wheels and fly!

If I listen long enough to the line
..then I'm gonna need a place to hide

Hide-Hideaway
Hide-Hideaway
Hide-Hideaway...

So pull down all the curtains
put a chain on all of the doors
In these four walls inside my room
gonna build me a private world

I wonder if time will make me wise
Soon I'm gonna need a place to hide

Hide-Hideaway
Hide-Hideaway
Hide-Hideaway...


10. RUNNIN' FOR COVER

Malibu... a ribbon of paradise
A bird on a board, unaware of the world outside
But his heaven on earth, is shattered by violent times
His beach is no longer secure, there's freedom in flight

(We're just) Runnin' for Cover... Runnin' for Cover... Runnin'...

Australia, on her beach at Bondai
A bird on a board, in search of a rising tide
Escape on a radical wave, the ultimate ride
Fate has him destined to be the last surfer alive

(We're just) Runnin' for Cover... Runnin' for Cover... Runnin'
