Run - run - run - run.

Run, you'd better find somewhere to run.
You think you’re foolin’ everybody,
but you're not foolin’ anyone.

Hide, you always need some place to hide.
But you can't hide from what's inside yourself,
you just can't face it.

Run, run for cover now.
You'd better run for cover now.
You'd better find some other place to hide
the loneliness inside.

You'd better run,
run for cover now.
You'd better run for cover now,
before it gets too late.

Run, you're gonna run right out of time.
You’ve let yourself fall way behind now
and all the years have passed you by.

Lies, I used to listen to your lies.
But now I've learned to read between the lines,
I've got your number.

Run, run for cover now.
You'd better run for cover now.
You'd better find some other place to hide
the loneliness inside.

You'd better run,
run for cover now.
You'd better run for cover now,
before it gets too late.

Yeah.

Run, run for cover now.
You'd better run for cover now.
You'd better find some other place to hide
the loneliness inside.

You'd better run,
run for cover now.
You'd better run for cover now.
You'd better find some other place to hide
what's eating you inside.

You'd better run,
run for cover now.
You'd better run for cover now.
Yeah.

Run for cover.
Run - run - run - run.
Run - run - run - run.
Run - run - run - run.
Yeah, yeah

Sometimes it seems
that you've had more than enough.
As your life is going nowhere,
and you feel like giving up.
Sometimes you know
that you can't take anymore.
When things are getting harder
than they've ever been before.


Don't lose your heart when things go wrong.
You know what to do now.
Just turn your back and carry on, come on.


Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.


Sometimes it seems
like you've really lost your way.
When you're mind is full of doubt,
you've got nothing left to say.
You're going 'round in circles
like a man who's running blind.
But the world must keep on turning,
and it's leaving you behind.


Don't lose your heart when things go wrong.
You know what to do now.
You've got the strength to carry on, come on.


Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.


Reach for the sky.
Reach for the sky.
Reach for the it.


Don't lose your heart when things go wrong.
You know what to do now.
You've got the strength to carry on, come on.


Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.


Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your
hands up, hands up, hands up.


Reach for the sky.
Reach for the sky.
Reach for the sky.
Reach for the sky.

Mama take a look at your boy,
he's a military man.
Papa take a look at your boy,
he's crying.
Papa take a look at your boy,
he's a soldier.
Mama take a look in his eyes,
they're colder.


Papa take a look at your boy,
he's a military man.
Mama take a look at your boy,
he's dying.
Papa take a look at your boy,
he's fighting.
Mama take a look at your boy,
he's frightened.


They have trained your boy to kill,
and kill some day he will.
They have trained your boy to die
and ask no questions why.


Papa take a look at your boy,
take a look at your boy,
take a look at your boy.
He's a killer, yeah.


Mama take a look at your boy,
take a look at him now,
take a look at your boy.
He's a soldier, he's colder, he's older, mama.


Mama take a look at your boy,
obey the order.
Mama take a look at your boy,
like a lamb to slaughter.


They have trained your boy to kill,
and kill some day he will.
They have trained your boy to die
and ask no questions why.


One day I will write for you a lovesong, mother.
As the children say: "I love you", please hold me.
And you and I, we will live our life together.
Until that day when we die, I will love you, mother.
I will always love you.


I am writing from this war.
Oh mama, I don't know what I'm fighting for.
And have you seen my children?
God bless them, kiss them,
and tell them that I miss them.


See I'm frightened in the dark,
mama, mama.
The blood is ankle deep.
They have trained your boy to kill,
and kill someday he will.
They have trained your boy to die.


Papa take a look at your boy,
take a look at your boy,
take a look at your boy.
He's marching,
he's a soldier.


Oh mama, oh mama.
He's on the street.
He's marching to the backbeat.

Loneliness is your only friend
A broken heart that just won't mend is the price you pay.
It's hard to take when love grows old,
The days are long and the nights turn cold when it fades away.

You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on
You'll never know the reason why - she's gone.

Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love

You see her face in every crowd,
You hear her voice but you're still proud so you turn away.
You tell yourself that you will be strong,
But your heart tells you - this time you're wrong.

Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love

You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on
You'll never know the reason why - she's gone.

Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love

Oh no in an empty room
Loneliness is your only friend
Oh she's gone
And your happ'ning end

. . .


You're out of reach, you're out of touch.
This time baby you've run out of love.
You're out of sight, you're out of mind.
Another heartache I've left behind.


It doesn't make any difference
where you go from here.
Too many times you've been running
I was here, over and over again.


Well, I've got you out of my system.
I've got you out of my soul.


We've been through this a thousand times.
Too many partners for your perfect crimes.
You turned your back when I was down.
Well, this time baby I won't be around.


It doesn't make any difference
what you do or say.
This time it's over forever.
I'm on my way,
don't wanna see you again.


Well, I've got you out of my system.
I've got you out of my soul.
Well, I've got you out of my system.
And now I'm right outside your control.


It doesn't make any difference
where you go from here.
Too many times you've been running
I was here, over and over again.


Well, I've got you out of my system.
I've got you out of my soul.
Well, I've got you out of my system, out of my system.
And now I'm right outside your control.
I've got you out of my system.


Well, I've got you out of my system.
Out of my system.
I've got you out of my soul.
Out of my soul.


Well, I've got you out of my system.
Out of my system.
And now I'm right outside your control.

. . .


It doesn't matter
If you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference
If you're black or if you're white

All men are equal
Till the victory is won
No colour or religion
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

Out in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

It doesn't matter
If you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause
That which you fight

There'll be no prisoners taken
When the day is done
No flag, no uniform
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

Out in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again

Out in the fields
Out in the fields
They're falling one by one
Out in the fields
No flag has ever stopped
The bullet from a gun

Death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
Out in the fields
Death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
Out in the fields

In the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day

OUT!

. . .


You live your life in a state of confusion,
never finding your way.
You've had the breaks,
but you're so disillusioned.
You only live for today.


You never stopped for a red light,
you never even tried.
You're on the wrong side of midnight.
Too fast to live, but too young to die.


Keep on rockin' and rollin'.
Keep on singing the blues.
Keep on rockin' and rollin'.
You've got nothing to lose.


You say that you've got a hot reputation.
You never built it on trust.
I say you're part of a lost generation.
You got left in the dust.


You never stopped for a red light,
you never even tried.
You're on the wrong side of midnight.
Too fast to live, but you're too young to die.


Keep on rockin' and rollin'.
Keep on singing the blues.
Keep on rockin' and rollin'.
You've got nothing to lose.


Keep on rockin' and rollin'.
Keep on singing the blues.
Keep on rockin' and rollin'.
You've got nothing to lose.


Yeah, nothing to lose.


You never stopped for a red light,
you never even tried.
You're on the wrong side of midnight.
Too fast to live, but you're too young to die.


Keep on rockin' and rollin'.
Keep on singing the blues.
Keep on rockin' and rollin'.
You've got nothing to lose.


Keep on rockin' and rollin'.
Keep on singing the blues.
Keep on rockin' and rollin'.
You've got nothing to lose.


(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
You've got nothing.
(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
No, no, you've got nothing to lose.


(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
You've got nothing to lose.


(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(Keep on singing the blues.)
Nothing to lose.


(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
Wooh.
(Keep on singing the blues.)
You've got nothing to lose.


(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
(Keep on singing the blues.)
You've got nothing to lose.

I never met a woman
who could make me feel the way you do.
'Cause when I look into your eyes,
you don't know what I'm going through.


I was looking for someone to turn to,
something I'd never had before.
And then you came into my life,
now I can open any door.


Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you.
Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you.


I never met a girl before
who could understand a man like me.
'Cause when I hold you in my arms,
I just know that this was meant to be.


I was looking for some understanding,
something I'd never had before.
And then you came into my life,
now I can open any door.


Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you.
Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you.


Once in a lifetime.
Just once in a lifetime.
Once in a lifetime.


I was looking for someone to turn to,
something I'd never had before.
And then you came into my life,
now I can open any door.


Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you.
Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you.


Once in a lifetime
that I could ever find someone like you.
Just once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you.


Once in a lifetime.
Once in a lifetime.
Once in a lifetime.
Once in a lifetime.

. . .


Party's over, I can't drink no more.
My head is hurtin', I'm looking for the door,
but it's so hard to find, so hard to find.


Walk to my car on my hands and my knees.
Hand in my pocket, I'm looking for the keys,
but they're so hard to find.


Look at my son, he's no friend of mine.
Reach for my shades before I go blind.
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know.
All messed up and no place to go.


I'm seeing double, the whisky's to blame.
I'm having trouble remembering my name.
So hard to tell, it's so hard to tell.


Can't get no sleep with the quarrel and fight.
I'm not sure if I'm dead or alive,
so hard to tell.


Look at my son, he's no friend of mine.
Reach for my shades before I go blind.
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know.
All messed up with no place to go.


I can't believe it's really me in the mirror.
Feels like I'm falling off the rails,
looks like a hellhouse on my tail.


Look at my son, he's no friend of mine.
Reach for my shades before I go blind.
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know.
All messed up with no place to go.


All messed up with no place to go.
All messed up with no place to go.
All messed up with no place to go.


All messed up,
all messed up,
all messed up with no place to go.
All messed up with no place to go.

. . .


Outside the rain is falling,
inside it feels so cold.
A view from a broken window,
faces that look so old.


Every trick in the book you have tried,
to make ends meet.
Just remember those nights that you cried,
there was nothing to do, but lie awake and


listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to the rhythm of your soul.
Listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to the rhythm of your soul.


Outside the rain is falling,
inside you feel so cold.
A view from a broken window,
faces that have grown so old.


Every trick in the book you have tried
to make ends meet.
Just remember those nights that you cried,
there was nothing to do, but lie awake and


listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to the rhythm of your soul.
Listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to the rhythm of your soul.


Listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to the rhythm of your soul.


You thought the mourning served out years ago.
There's no more records on the radio,
no place to go.


Every trick in the book you have tried,
to make ends meet.
But just remember the nights that you cried,
there was nothing to do, but lie awake and


listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to the rhythm of your soul.
Listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to the rhythm of your soul.


Listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to the rhythm of your soul.
Listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to the rhythm of your soul.


Listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain.
Listen to your heartbeat.

. . .


Think I’ll just fall to pieces
If I don’t find something else to do
This sadness never ceases
I’m still in love with you

My head, it keeps on reeling
It’s got me in a crazy spin
Darling, darling, darling
Is this the end?

Still in love with you

They say time has a way of healing
Dries all the tears from your eyes
But darling it’s this empty feeling
My heart can’t disguise

After all that we’ve been through
I try my best but it’s no use
I guess I’ll keep on loving you
Is this the end?

Now that it’s all over, woman
There’s something I think you should know
Baby, baby, think it over
Just one more time before you go

Call on me baby
If there’s anything I can do for you
Call on me baby
Help me see it through

I’m still in love with you
