1. LONELY HEART

Sarah has her dreams and makes her plans
To get what she wants when she can
A little bit of heaven was all she asked for
In the silent moments deep in the night
She'd find herself make it feel all right
Hungers for the bright light and something more

With her young heart so gently beating
A secret rendezvous love was meeting
Out in the night, out in the night night night night
Played on the radio, heard on the news
Baby's gone lost they found her shoes
You can turn out the light
You better turn out the light

You go walking on the wild side
Learn how to run 'cause you can't hide
Better steel yourself away
Another page, another day
In your lonely heart
Beating out in the dark
Lonely heart

And beneath the lights the rock 'n' roll band
Electric guitars, one night stands
Are you giving away, giving away
With hungry and oh so desperate eyes
The souls who get hurt believe in their lies
You only betray only betray

And now you cry yourself to sleep
Against the odds you wanted to beat
You never say no, never say no no no no
Left with the promises that you swore
The price you pay is the love you tore
Now where did it go, where did it go

You go walking on the wild side
Learn how to run 'cause you can't hide
Better steel yourself away
Another page, another day
In your lonely heart
Beating out in the dark
Lonely heart


2. LONG GONE

Skulking in the mean streets whispering in the halls
Redlight bandits on the corner give no quarter calls
Infectious garbage fills the streets
And in their eyes you know
A thin blue line bends and breaks stop the overflow

Fan the flames of the city's heat
In dark corners hiding never seen
Desperation and the trouble flares
Alarm guns ring running scared

And you're long gone, down in this hell
Long gone down in this hell
So baby won't you hold me tight
Let your softness fill my night
We've got a dream don't let it slip away
In your eyes I can see the fear
This town never sheds a tear
We're gonna be - out someday - walking away

Keep on looking for a holy one,
Some kind of hero or a prophet to come
Visionaries dance your night away
There's no tomorrow living for today
But you're long gone down in this hell
Long gone down in this hell

I saw the stars come out tonight so lonely and immune
Summer rain kissed the streets that bleed like open wounds
Patrol cars sweep the avenues down on Forty Eighth
While faces in dark doorways wait around the hate

Fan the flames of the city's heat
In dark corners hiding never seen
Desperation and the trouble flares
Alarm guns ring running scared

Baby better walk away
Baby better walk away
We'll be busting out someday
