Yeah
Outside of society
I know she's sailing for me

Into the barrel of a gun
We gotta pull ourselves together
And make a plan

In your cold black storm
No control

Let there be light (Oh yeah)
Divide heaven tonight
Oh open my sight (Oh yeah)

See their fear subsiding
Sliding down cross a million years.

Investigate all that's sweet (yeah)

Running down cross a million years
But when I get home

Riding my life
Like a run-a-way train
Moving from
One track to that
Howling, crying,
Screaming at the moon
Only my voice came back
Only the echo came back

When I was a boy
Daddy told me
Grow tall
Yes and Billy don't crawl
Taught me how to ride
Set me out on my own
And I never came back

And yes I'd do it again
Oh wouldn't you
Yeah I'd do it again
A-huh oh yeah
LyricsDo it again
Baby
Wouldn't you?

Remember
When I lied
Just when you
Needed me
Now I sit
Alone and cry
Cos now I believe in mercy
Remember when I lied
Just when you needed me baby
I believe in mercy

Riding, walking
Looking so cool
Guess I crossed
Over the borderline
Treated like a dunce
Who just can't read
Did I fool me too?
And yes I'd do it again
Oh wouldn't you
Yes I'd do it again
Aha yeah I'd do it again
Baby
Wouldn't you

Remember
When I lied
Just when you
Needed me
Now I sit
Alone and cry
Cos now I believe in mercy
Remember when I lied
Now that you
Needed me
Yes I believe in mercy

I said "Come here"
Look into my face
And hear into my heart
Hesitation
Could re-arrange
The other side
To your love
Take hold now baby
And take
What other
Lovers have not
Times is changing
Will they re-arrange

The other side to your love
No-woah woah woah
Yeah

Wooooo

(Come home
Here he is impatient one
Come home
Come home
Tell the story)

Come home
Here he is
The impatient one
Come home
To claim a glory
Prodigal son
Come home
Prodigal bum
Come home
Prodigal son
Prodigal son
Come home
To claim a glory
Prodigal son
Come home
Prodigal son
COme home
Prodigal bum
Here he comes
Yeah that prodigal son
Ooooh
He's the one
To tell his story
C'mon to tell his story
Tell his story
To claim his glory

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows

Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
Or just another lost angel...City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woo,
c'mon

L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
Drive thru your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Into your blue-blue Blues
Into your blues, ohh, yeah

I see your hair is burnin'
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
LyricsYou know they are a liar
Drivin' down your freeways
Midnite alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman...
So alone, so alone
So alone, so alone

Motel Money Murder Madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'

It's Christmas time
And I'm lonely
Here y'know the living
Ain't easy
If you forget
The power to love
I said
"Don't give up"
"Don't give up"
If only I could
See you once again
If only to put
My lips against you again
Don't hold back
The power to love
Don't hold back
From the pluck of the lyre
In the arms of desire

It was dry
And a fine day
LyricsWhen we first came ashore
I wasn't really
Sure what I was looking for
Tracks of my mind
Made the tracks of my arms
Seemed a lot more of a curse
To make matters worse
I was lonely for you
So lonely for you
Baby yeah
So lonely

Oh if I should
See you once again
If only to press
My lips to yours
Aaaaah

Don't give up
The power to love
And don't hold back
The power to love
Don't hold back ah yeah
From the pluck of the lyre
In the arms of desire

And the tracks of my mind
Seemed more like a curse baby

Right there and then
I saw or swore I could see
With my own two eyes
Yo' lying eyes
Yo' lying eyes
Yes right there and then
It made the tracks of my mind
A lot more of a curs
Oh lonely for you
Baby yeah
So lonely for you
Baby yeah
So lonely for you
Baby yeah
And the tracks of my mind
Seemed more like a curse
The tracks of my mind
Seemed more like a curse baby
I was lonely for you
Baby yeah
So lonely for you
Baby yeah
So lonely for you
Baby yeah


. . .



The night was black rain fallin' down
I looked my baby she's no where aroun'
Chased her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone for ever more

Well I looked at the sea, seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cry in the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep

Why did we quarrel why did we fight
Why did I leave her alone last night
That's why her foot steps ran down to the sea
That's wy my baby has gone from me

Well I looked at the sea seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
Well I heard a voice cry in the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
Endless sleep

LyricsOut in the water heart full of fear
There in the breaker I saw her near
Reached for my darlin' held her to me
Dragged her away from the angry sea

Well I looked at the sea seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep
I took your baby from the endless sleep
I grabbed my baby from the endless sleep


. . .



They say all life
Will end one day
And friends yeah
Forget and die away
Well if fate is cruel
And dims the light
Our love c'mon yeah
Shine on for all right

But oh if you're lonely
And so blue
It's here inside saying

Man for woman
Love's unchained ah yeah
