1. WILD ON THE RUN
Come on
Busted
Bleeding
Nothing to believe in
I've taken just as much as I'm going to take
And I've been stood up
Knocked down
Had enough of this town
When midnight comes we'll make this prison shake
Don't you make a sound 'till the lights go down
Wild on the run
Wild on the run, yeah
Wild on the run
Look out
Don't slow down
Run before we're found out
'Cause there ain't no fairy tale, no perfect life
Well, you got one chance
Don't stop
Jump across the rooftops
We'll close our eyes and dance away this life
Don't you make a sound 'till the lights go down
Wild on the run
Wild on the run
Wild on the run
Anyplace you want to go
Only one way that we know
Rip a hole into this lonely night
Rip a hole into the night, come on
Busted
Yeah, don't you make a sound 'till the lights go down
Wild on the run
Wild on the run
We're wild on the run, yeah
Oh, wild on the run, let's go
Wild on the run, yeah
We're wild on the run
Busted
Bleeding
Stood up
Knocked down
I can't take it no more
Whoa I've been busted
Bleeding
Stood up
And knocked down, baby
I can't take it no more
2. CHAIN OF LOVE
Across a crowded street I watched her beg
Another tired angel fate had forgotten
Give me love, give me hope, give me some peace on earth
She cried out loud
But in her wounded eyes I saw a spark
And it's burning inside me
Reaching out to ease the pain, she touched my heart
No weight can break this chain of love
Just sing it over and over again
No weight can break this chain of love
Just sing it over and over
Across a barren field I watched him weep
Another farm in the heartland held up for ransom
Let me live, let me give, God let this land survive
He prayed out loud
Standing up against the wind to build a fire, yeah
No weight can break this chain of love
Just sing it over and over again
No weight can break this chain of love
Just sing it over and over
No weight can break this chain, oh yeah
No weight can break this chain of love, ooh yeah
Across the seven seas blows a wind of change
And all our fears will fade
As the spirit of love is rising up around us
No weight can break this chain of love
No weight can break the chain of love
No weight can break this chain of love
No weight, no weight can break the chain
No weight can break this chain of love
Just sing it over and over again
No weight can break this chain of love
Just sing it over and over again
No weight can break this chain of love
3. CRAWLING BACK
If I come crawling back to you
Dragging my heart like you want me to
Is that what you mean by starting over?
If I come begging on my knees
Pleading your forgiveness, baby please
Is that really all that you want from me?
This time's no different than before
I gave you my heart, but you took my soul
And if my pride is what you desire
Don't talk, don't say anything
And don't cry, 'cause I don't hear you crying no more
Don't try and tell me that everything will change
'Cause I'm not crawling back to you again
Don't try to build a wall around me now
Or think you'll change the way I feel somehow
Just so you can prove to me who's stronger
But I, I won't take it any longer
This time's no different than before
Love won't leave me blind no more
And I won't bow down to desire
Don't talk, don't say anything
And don't cry, 'cause I don't hear you crying no more
Don't try and tell me that everything will change
'Cause I'm not crawling back to you again
Don't talk, don't say anything
And don't cry, 'cause I don't hear you crying no more
Don't try and tell me that everything will change
'Cause I'm not crawling back again
Don't talk, don't say anything at all
'Cause I don't hear you crying no more
Don't try and tell me that everything will change
'Cause I'm not crawling back to you again
No, no no no
No I won't come crawling back again
Not on my knees, no way
Won't come crawling back again
I'm not crawling back again
Won't come crawling back again
I'm not crawling
No way
Won't come crawling back again
I'm not crawling back again, no no
I'm not crawling
4. SISTER OF MERCY
Sister of mercy
As the sun goes dark and the wind blows silent
Are these just signs of the times
Sister of mercy
When the seas lay calm and all goes quiet
A storm, it comes to mind
A burning in my heart
Like a ring of fire
A yearning in my heart, yeah
Sister of mercy, wrap your arms around me now
Sister of mercy, come on won't you save me now
Yeah
Sister of mercy
In the wake of the flood, in the hurricane's eye
Please don't desert me
Mercy, mercy
I pray for the dove in hope she'll fly
'Cause we need a miracle now
A burning in my heart
Like a ring of fire
A yearning in my heart, well
Sister of mercy, wrap your arms around me now
Sister of mercy
In a rough and raging ocean there's a beacon in the storm
She'll send a light to guide you, that's my little sister
Like a worn and weary soldier in a silent tug of war
Ooh, she'll pull you through the darkness before the dawn
Yeah, alright, alright
Oh, sister of mercy
I'm no man of God, but I'm all for trying
I'm on my knees tonight
Oh, mercy, mercy
Cries a desperate man in his time of dying
Save me, just name you price
Yeah
Sister of mercy
Put your arms around me
Oh won't you save me, well
Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me
Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me
Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me now
5. STAY WITH ME
When I look into your eyes
And they warm me just on sight
It's an experience
I'd dare share with anyone else
Just a telephone apart
There must be ringing in your heart
There must be
'Cause I've called to you most every night
Your touch is like fire and ice
Rolled into one and multiplied twice
Well, you've given me the strength that I need
But without your heart I'm just weak
So I ask you
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me if only for a lifetime
Stay with me
Or at least please stay the night
And be there in the morning
Do you sense just how I feel
As my desire for you spills
Out from my hands
And into the candlelight
Oh, like shadows we fall and we rise
Words from your lips ring endless in time
You've given me the will to believe
But it's still your heart that I need
So I'll ask you
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me if only for a lifetime
Stay with me
Or at least please stay the night
And be there in the morning
Be there in the morning
Ooh, your touch is like fire and ice
Rolled into one and multiplied twice
Now, you've given me the strength that I need
But it's for your heart that I plead
Oh, I'm askin' you, I'm begging you to
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me if only for a lifetime
Stay with me
Or at least please stay the night
And be there in the morning
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me if only forever
And be there in the morning
Stay with me
Ooh, stay with me if only just tonight
'Cause when I look into your eyes
6. SOMEWHERE SHE WAITS
Somewhere she waits for love
Somewhere she waits for love
Hush my little darling don't you cry
Somewhere long lost words from a soft lullaby
In a world where love can hurt you, dreams desert you
Answers hard to find
Full of faith still something's missing
No one to run to
Somewhere she waits for love
With the open eyes of a little child
She's looking back for love
And the dreams she left behind
In a lullaby
Kill the TV set, switch off the lights
Keep the world outside locked away for the night
Smokey bars and cheap seductions, false surrenders
Nothing much to lose
All grown up the world seems colder
So sad and lonely
Somewhere she waits for love
With the open eyes of a little child
She's looking back for love
And the dreams she left behind
In a lullaby
She looks back for love
She looks back for love
A promise of yesterday surrounds her
As she waits there for love
Ooh, close your eyes the spell is broken
Your dreams are calling
Somewhere she waits for love
With the open eyes of a little child
She's looking back for love
And the dreams she left behind
Oh, somewhere she waits for love
With the open eyes of a little child
She's looking back for love
And the dreams she left behind, well
Somewhere she waits for love
Somewhere she waits for love
7. WORLD INSIDE YOU
I love to watch you walk
So raw like a jungle cat prowls
I love the way you talk
You whisper your secrets out loud, ooh
I'm tangled in your eyes
Nothing can stop me now
Throw my caution to the wind
Be my savior, be my sin
I'll follow where you lead
I hunger, thirst, and bleed
And I will touch the world inside you
Love, I fall down on my knees
I'd borrow, steal, I plead
Just to touch the world inside you
Slide through the darkness
A slip of the tongue on your heart, ooh
Creep like a steam-train
Nothing can tear us apart, ooh
So tell me you love me
Just for a little while
Come on honey let me in
Be my savior, be my sin
I'll follow where you lead
I hunger, thirst, and bleed
And I will touch the world inside you
Love, I fall down on my knees
I'll borrow, steal and plead
Just to have the world inside you
Ooh, the world inside you
I fall down on my knees, yes I will
Borrow, still and plead
Ooh, yeah
Throw my caution to the wind
You're my savior, you're my sin
I'll follow where you lead
I hunger, thirst and bleed
And I will touch the world inside you
Oh, love, I fall down on my knees
I borrow, steal and plead
Just to touch the world inside you
Honey, I need the world inside you
I got to touch the girl inside you
8. RESTLESS ONE
And so she stands
With her hands in her pockets and her hair
Tossing 'round in the wind
All alone
At the edge of a station
She'll never see again
Oh, she's a restless one
Oh, she's a restless one
Well, the tired diesel
Punched a hole in the sunrise
With a whistle and a cloud of steam
Yeah, she steps on
Dragging an old brown satchel
To another place she's never been
Oh, she's a restless one
Oh, she's a restless one
And she knows there will be time
For a thousand indecisions
Nothing but time and a prayer in this sleepy old town
Time waits on nobody's wishes
She throws away her promises to see what was out there
She stands alone
One foot on the station
And the other foot upon the train
Well, she's stuck between
Her lifelong ambition
And the life she'll never see again
Oh, she's a restless one
Oh, she's a restless one
Oh, she's a restless one
Watching her life passing by
Restless one
Right in front of her eyes
Oh, she's a restless one
9. NEVER ENOUGH
I get caught up in the moment
Like a prisoner in a cage
I try to hold back my emotions
'Till the hunger fades away
But desire is the master
And she knows that I'll give in, oh
I can almost hear your heartbeat
Taste the salt on your skin
Hypnotized you're my one possession
And I was saved by the heat of your touch
But once is never enough
No once is never enough
Nothing seems to satisfy, yeah
It's never enough
I get hot under the collar
And my hands begin to sweat
'Till I'm drowning in temptation
And the best ain't over yet
But I get restless and impatient
Until I bite the hand that feeds, yeah
Well I get tired of the waiting
But never tire of the need, no
You give all you can but still I want more
Your everything, girl, is never too much, in fact it's
Never enough
Once is never enough
Nothing seems to satisfy, yeah
It's never enough, no
I grab one hand in front of the other
When it comes down to love, whoa
Falling down into the darkness below
Until it swallows me up, whoa
Crucified for thinking I could possess you
Then I was saved by the heat of your touch
But once is never
No, once is never enough
Once is never enough
Nothing seems to satisfy, yeah
It's never enough, no
Once is never enough
No, once is never enough
When it comes down to makin' up
Yeah, it's never, never, never, never enough
I can't get enough of that good thing baby
10. CLOSE YOUR EYES
You ask a question
It's only a disguise
You don't want an answer, no no
Just an alibi
Always running to the brightest light
No shelter from the dark
Now the candle burns a raging fire
Like a falling star
Hey, see the storm stretch across the sky
Now the river's running high
And the rain's gonna fall
Is there something you believe in
When you close your eyes, my my
You want a witness
To watch water turn to wine, yeah
You want forgiveness
For all those desperate nights
Always dancing from the highest wire
Still heaven's out of reach
Now you jumped from faith into desire
The truth is gonna make you bleed
Hey, see the storm stretch across the sky
Now the river's running high
And the rain's gonna fall
Is there something you believe in
When you close your eyes
Something's lost the wires got crossed
You just don't know which way to run
Is there something you believe in
Is there something you believe in
Is there something you believe in
Is there something you believe in
Is there something you believe in
Believe in
Yeah, see the storm stretch across the sky
Now the river's running high
And so the rain is gonna fall
Is there something you believe in
Something you believe in,
When you close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes (is there something you believe in)
Close your eyes
Close your eyes (is there something you believe in)
Close your eyes (is there something you believe in)
Close your eyes
Is there something you believe in
All right
