Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane 
Feelin' like a space brain 
One more time tonight 

Well I'm a west coast struttin' 
One bad mother 
Got a rattlesnake suitcase 
Under my arm 
Said I'm a mean machine 
Been drinkin' gasoline 
And honey you can make my motor hum 
Well I got one chance left 
In a nine live cat 
I got a dog eat dog sly smile 
I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go 
I smoke my cigarette with style 
An I can tell you honey 
You can make my money tonight 

Wake up late honey put on your clothes 
Take your credit card to the liquor store 
That's one for you and two for me by tonight 
I'll be loaded like a freight train 
Flyin' like an aeroplane 
Feelin' like a space brain 
One more time tonight 

I'm on the nightrain 
Bottoms up 
I'm on the nightrain 
Fill my cup 
I'm on the nightrain 
Ready to crash and burn 
I never learn 
I'm on the nightrain 
I love that stuff 
I'm on the nightrain 
I can never get enough 
I'm on the nightrain 
Never to return - no 

Loaded like a freight train 
Flyin' like an aeroplane 
Speedin' like a space brain 
One more time tonight 

I'm on the nightrain 
And I'm lookin' for some 
I'm on the nightrain 
So's I can leave this slum 
I'm on the nightrain 
And I'm ready to crash an' burn 
Nightrain 
Bottoms up 
I'm on the nightrain 
Fill my cup 
I'm on the nightrain 

Whoa yeah 
I'm on the nightrain 
Love that stuff 
I'm on the nightrain 
An I can never get enough 
Ridin' the nightrain 
I guess I 
I guess, I guess, I guess I never learn 

On the nightrain 
Float me home 
Ooh I'm on the nightrain 
Ridin' the nightrain 
Never to return 
Nightrain

I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine 
And I don't worry about nothin' no 
Cause worryin's a waste of my ... time 

The show usually starts around seven 
We go on stage around nine 
Get on the bus about eleven 
Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine 

CHORUS: 

We been dancin' with 
Mr. Brownstone 
He's been knockin' 
He won't leave me alone 
No, no, no - oh 
He won't leave me alone 

I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do 
So the little got more and more 
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better 
Said a little better than before 
I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do 
So the little got more and more 
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better 
Said a little better than before 

CHORUS 

Now I get up around whenever 
I used ta get up on time 
But that old man he's a real muthafucker 
Gonna kick him on down the line 

I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do 
So the little got more and more 
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better 
Said a little better than before 
I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do 
So the little got more and more 
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better 
Said a little better than before 

CHORUS

I see your sister in her Sunday dress
She's out to please 
She pouts her best 
She's out to take 
No need to try 
She's ready to make 

It's so easy, easy 
When everybody's tryin' to please me, baby 
It's so easy, easy 
When everybody's tryin' to please me 

Cars are crashin' every night 
I drink n' drive everything's in sight 
I make the fire 
But I miss the firefight 
I hit the bull's eye every night 

It's so easy, easy 
When everybody's tryin' to please me, baby 
Yeah it's so easy, easy 
When everybody's tryin' to please me 
So easy 
But nothin' seems to please me 
It all fits so right 
When I fade into the night 
See me hit you 
You fall down 

I see you standin' there 
You think you're so cool 
Why don't you just 
Fuck off 

Ya get nothin' for nothin' 
If that's what ya do 
Turn around bitch I got a use for you 
Besides you ain't got nothin' better to do 
And I'm bored 

It's so easy, easy 
When everybody's tryin' to please me, baby 
It's so easy, easy 
When everybody's tryin' to please me 
So easy 
But nothin' seems to please me 
It all fits so right 
When I fade into the night 
So come with me 
Don't ask me where 'cause I don't know 
I'll try ta please you 
I ain't got no money but it goes to show 

It's so easy 
So fuckin' easy 
It's so easy 
So damn easy 
It's so easy 
Oh, so fuckin' easy 
It's so easy 
Oh, it's so easy 
It's so easy 
So fuckin' easy 
It's so easy 
YEAH!

Welcome to the jungle
We got fun n' games 
We got everything you want 
Honey, we know the names 
We are the people that can find 
Whatever you may need 
If you got the money, honey 
We got your disease 

In the jungle 
Welcome to the jungle 
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees 
I wanna watch you bleed 

Welcome to the jungle 
We take it day by day 
If you want it you're gonna bleed 
But it's the price you pay 
And you're a very sexy girl 
That's very hard to please 
You can taste the bright lights 
But you won't get them for free 
In the jungle 
Welcome to the jungle 
Feel my, my, my serpentine 
I, I wanna hear you scream 

Welcome to the jungle 
It gets worse here everyday 
Ya learn ta live like an animal 
In the jungle where we play 
If you got a hunger for what you see 
You'll take it eventually 
You can have anything you want 
But you better not take it from me 

In the jungle 
Welcome to the jungle 
Watch it bring you to your 
knees, knees 
I'm gonna watch you bleed 

And when you're high you never 
Ever want to come down, YEAH! 

You know where you are 
You're in the jungle baby 
You're gonna die 
In the jungle 
Welcome to the jungle 
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees 
In the jungle 
Welcome to the jungle 
Feel my, my, my serpentine 
In the jungle 
Welcome to the jungle 
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees 
In the jungle 
Welcome to the jungle 
Watch it bring you to your 
It' gonna bring you down - HA!

He lost his mind today
He left it out back on the highway 
On "65" 

She loved him yesterday 
Yesterday's over 
I said okay 
That's all right 
Time moves on 
That's the way 
We live an hope to see the next day 
That's all right 

Sometimes these things they are so easy 
Sometimes these things they are so cold 
Sometimes these things just seem to rip you right in two 
Oh no man don't let 'em get ta you 

She loved him yesterday 
He laid her sister 
She said O.K. 
An that's all right 
Buried her things today 
Way back out deep 
Behind the driveway 
And that's all right 

Sometimes these women are so easy 
Sometimes these women are so cold 
Sometimes these women seem to rip you right in two 
Only if you let 'em get to you 

Ya get out on your own 
And you/take all that you own 
And you/forget about your home 
And then you're/just fuckin' gone 

There's no logic here today 
Do as you got to, go your own way 
I said that's right 
Time's short your life's your own 
And in the end 
We are just 
Dust n' bones

. . .



Your daddy works in porno
Now that mommy's not around 
She used to love her heroin 
But now she's underground 
So you stay out late at night 
And you do your coke for free 
Drivin' your friends crazy 
With your life's insanity 

Well, well, well you just can't tell 
Well, well, well my Michelle 
LOOK OUT! 

Sowin' all your wild oats 
In another's luxuries 
Yesterday was Tuesday 
Maybe Thursday you can sleep 
But school starts much too early 
And this hotel wasn't free 
So party till your connection call 
Honey I'll return the key 

CHORUS: 

Well, well, well you just can't tell 
Well, well, well my Michelle 
Well, well, well you never can tell 
Well, well, well my Michelle 

Everyone needs love 
You know that it's true 
Someday you'll find someone 
That'll fall in love with you 
But oh the time it takes 
When you're all alone 
Someday you'll find someone 
That you can call your own 
But till then ya better... 

Now you're clean 
And so discreet 
I won't say a word 
But most of all this song is true 
Case you haven't heard 
So c'mon and stop your cryin' 
'Cause we both know money burns 
Honey don't stop tryin; 
An you'll get what you deserve 

CHORUS

. . .



I been lookin' for a trace
Lookin' for a heart 
Lookin' for a lover in a world that's much too dark 
You don't want my love 
You want satisfaction, oh yeah 
You don't need my love 
You gotta find yourself another 
Piece of the action, yeah 

Said where you goin' 
What you gonna do 
I been lookin' everywhere 
I been lookin' for you 

You don't want my love 
You want satisfaction 
I got your satisfaction 
You don't need my love 
You gotta find yourself another 
Piece of the action 
'Cause you're crazy 
You're fuckin' crazy 
Ya know you're crazy 
I said you're crazy 

Say boy where ya comin' from 
Where'd ya get that point of view 
When I was younger 
Said I knew someone like you 
And they said 
You don't want my love 
You want satisfaction, yeah 
You don't need my love 
You gotta find yourself another 
Piece of the action 
'Cause you're crazy 
You're fuckin' crazy 
Ya know you're crazy 
I said you're crazy 
Ooh you're crazy 
You know you're crazy 
Well you're crazy 
You know you're crazy, ooh 

You know you are 
Bring it down 
You're fuckin' crazy

. . .



I used to love her
But I had to kill her 
I used to love her, mm, yeah 
But I had to kill her 
I had to put her six feet under 
And I can still hear her complain 

I used to love her, mm, yeah 
But I had to kill her 
I used to love her, oo, yeah 
But I had to kill her 
I knew I'd miss her 
So I had to keep her 
She's buried right in my backyard 
Oh yeah 
Oo yeah 
Whoa, oh yeah 

I used to love her 
But I had to kill her 
I used to love her, mm, yeah 
But I had to kill her 
She bitched so much 
She drove me nuts 
And now I'm happier this way, yeah 
Whoa, oh yeah 

I used to love her 
But I had to kill her 
I used to love her, mm, yeah 
But I had to kill her 
I had to put her, oo, six feet under 
And I can still hear her complain

. . .



1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
(whistle) 
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you 
I'm still alright to smile 
Girl, I think about you every day now 
Was a time when I wasn't sure 
But you set my mind at ease 
There is no doubt 
You're in my heart now 

Said, woman, take it slow 
It'll work itself out fine 
All we need is just a little patience 
Said, sugar, make it slow 
And we come together fine 
All we need is just a little patience 
(patience) 
Mm, yeah 

I sit here on the stairs 
'Cause I'd rather be alone 
If I can't have you right now 
I'll wait, dear 
Sometimes I get so tense 
But I can't speed up the time 
But you know, love 
There's one more thing to consider 

Said, woman, take it slow 
And things will be just fine 
You and I'll just use a little patience 
Said, sugar, take the time 
'Cause the lights are shining bright 
You and I've got what it takes 
To make it 
We won't fake it, 
I'll never break it 
'Cause I can't take it 

(whistle) 
...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah 
Need a little patience, yeah 
Just a little patience, yeah 
Some more patience, yeah 
Need some patience, yeah 
Could use some patience, yeah 
Gotta have some patience, yeah 
All it takes is patience 
Just a little patience 
Is all you need 

I BEEN WALKIN' THE STREETS AT NIGHT 
JUST TRYIN' TO GET IT RIGHT 
HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND 
YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE 
BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD 
AND THE STREETS DON'T CHANGE 
BUT BABY THE NAME 
I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME 
'CAUSE I NEED YOU 
YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU 
OO, I NEED YOU 
WHOA, I NEED YOU 
OO, ALL THIS TIME 
(ah)

. . .



Told you once about your friends and neighbors
They were always seeking but they'll never find
That it's alright, yes it's alright

Where to go, Where to see
It's always been that way and it can never be
but it's alright, yes its alright

Give it all and ask for no return
And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn
that it's alright, yes it's alright

. . .



When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained 
But darlin' when I hold you 
Don't you know I feel the same 

'Cause nothin' lasts forever 
And we both know hearts can change 
And it's hard to hold a candle 
In the cold November rain 

We've been through this such a long long time 
Just tryin' to kill the pain 

But lovers always come and lovers always go 
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today 
Walking away 

If we could take the time to lay it on the line 
I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine 
All mine 
So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain 
Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain 

Do you need some time... on your own 
Do you need some time... all alone 
Everybody needs some time... on their own 
Don't you know you need some time... all alone 

I know it's hard to keep an open heart 
When even friends seem out to harm you 
But if you could heal a broken heart 
Wouldn't time be out to charm you 

Sometimes I need some time... on my own 
Sometimes I need some time... all alone 
Everybody needs some time... on their own 
Don't you know you need some time... all alone 

And when your fears subside and shadows still remain, oh yeah 
I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame 
So never mind the darkness we still can find a way 
'Cause nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain 

You're not the only one 
You're not the only one 
Don't ya think that you need somebody 
Don't ya think that you need someone 
Everybody needs somebody 
You're not the only one 
You're not the only one 

Don't ya think that you need somebody 
Don't ya think that you need someone 
Everybody needs somebody 
You're not the only one 
You're not the only one 

Don't ya think that you need somebody 
Don't ya think that you need someone 
Everybody needs somebody 
You're not the only one 
You're not the only one 

Don't ya think that you need somebody 
Don't ya think that you need someone 
Everybody needs somebody

. . .



Hey you caught me in a coma
And I don't think I wanna 
Ever come back to this... world again 
Kinda like it in a coma 
'Cause no one's ever gonna 
Oh, make me come back to this... world again 
Now I feel as if I'm floating away 
I can't feel all the pressure and I like it this way 
But my body's callin' 
My body's callin' 
Won't ya come back to this... world again 
Suspended deep in a sea of black 
I've got the light at the end 
I've got the bones on the mast 
Well I've gone sailin', I've gone sailin' 
I could leave so easily 
While friends are calling back to me 
I said they're 
They're leaving it all up to me 
When all I needed was clarity 
And someone to tell me 
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON 
GODDAMN IT! 

Slippin' farther an farther away 
It's a miracle how long we can stay 
In a world our minds created 
In a world that's full of shit 

HELP ME 
HELP ME 
HELP ME 
HELP ME 
BASTARD 

Please understand me 
I'm climbin' through the wreackage 
Of all my twisted dreams 
But this cheap investigation just 
can't stifle all my screams 
And I'm waitin' at the crossroads 
Waiting for you 
Waiting for you 
WHERE ARE YOU? 

No one's gonna bother me anymore 
No one's gonna mess with my head no more 
I can't understand what all the fightin's for 
But it's so nice here down off the shore 
I wish you could see this 'cause there's nothing to see 
It's peaceful here and it's fine with me 
Not like the world where I used to live 
I NEVER REALLY WANTED TO LIVE 

ZAP HIM AGAIN 
ZAP THE SON OF A BITCH AGAIN 

Ya live your life like it's a coma 
So won't you tell me why we'd wanna 
With all the reasons you give it's 
It's kinda hard to believe 
But who am I to tell you that I've seen 
Any reason why you should stay 
Maybe we'd be better off 
Without you anyway 
You got a one way ticket 
On your last chance ride 
Gotta one way ticket 
To your suicide 
Gotta one way ticket 
An there's no way out alive 
An all this crass communication 
That has left you in the cold 
Isn't much for consolation 
When you feel so weak and old 
But is home is where the heart is 
Then there's stories to be told 
No you don't need a doctor 
No one else can heal your soul 

Got your mind in submission 
Got your life on the line 
But nobody pulled the trigger 
They just stepped aside 
They be down by the water 
While you watch 'em waving goodbye 
They be callin' in the morning 
They be hangin' on the phone 
They be waiting for an answer 
But you know nobody's home 
And when the bell's stopped ringing 
It was nobody's fault but your own 
There were always ample warnings 
There were always subtle signs 
And you would have seen it comin' 
But we gave you too much time 
And when you said that no one's listening 
Why'd your best friend drop a dime 
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting 
For a way to spend our time 
An "It's so easy" to be social 
"It's so easy" to be cool 
Yeah it's easy to be hungry 
When you ain't got shit to lose 
And I wish that I could help you 
With what you hope to find 
But I'm still out here waiting 
Watching reruns of my life 
When you reach the point of breaking 
Know it's gonna take some time 
To heal the broken memories 
That another man would need 
Just to survive

. . .



Been hidin' out
And layin' low 
It's nothin' new ta me 
Well you can always find a place to go 
If you can keep your sanity 
They break down the doors 
And they rape my rights but 
They won't touch me 
They scream and yell 
And fight all night 
You can't tell me 
I lose my head 
I close my eyes 
They won't touch me 
'Cause I got somethin' 
I been buildin' up inside 
For so fuckin' long 

CHORUS: 

They're out ta get me 
They won't catch me 
I'm fuckin' innocent 
They won't break me 

Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin' 
Sometimes it's harder to leave 
And everytime you think you know just what you're doin' 
That's when your troubles exceed 
They push me in a corner 
Just to get me to fight but 
They won't touch me 
They preach and yell 
And fight all night 
You can't tell me 
I lose my head 
I close my eyes 
They won't touch me 
'Cause I got somethin' 
I been buildin' up inside 
I'm already gone 

They're out ta get me 
They won't catch me 
'Cause I'm innocent 
They won't break me 

Some people got a chip on their shoulder 
An some would say it was me 
But I didn't buy that fifth of whisky 
That you gave me 
So I'd be quick to disagree 

CHORUS 

They're out to get me 
They won't catch me 
'Cause I'm innocent 
So you can suck me 
Take that one to heart

THE PERILS OF ROCK N` ROLL DECADENCE

I know this chick she lives down on Melrose 
She ain't satisfied without some pain 
Friday night is goin' up inside her... again 
Well crack the whip 
'Cause that bitch is just insane 
I'm serious 

She's pretty tied up 
Hangin' upside down 
She's pretty tied up 
An you can ride her 
She's pretty tied up 
Hangin' upside down 
I can't tell you she's the right one 
Oh no, oh no, oh no 

Once there was this rock n' roll band rollin' on the streets 
Time went by and it became a joke 
We just needed more and more fulfilling - Uh-huh 
Time went by and it all went up in smoke 
But check it out 

She's pretty tied up 
Hangin' upside down 
She's pretty tied up 
An you can ride her 
She's pretty tied up 
Hangin' upside down 
Ohh I can't tell you she's the right one 
Oh no, oh no, oh no 

Once you made that money it costs more now 
It might cost a lot more than you'd think 
I just found a million dollars 
That someone forgot 
It's days like this that push me o'er the brinks 
Cool and stressing 
(pronounced: Kool ranch dres'ing) 

She's pretty tied up 
Hangin' upside down 
She's pretty tied up 
An you can ride her 
She's pretty tied up 
Hangin' upside down 
And I can't tell you she's the right one 
Oh she's the right one...

. . .



Yesterday
There was so many things 
I was never told 
Now that I'm startin' to learn 
I feel I'm growing old 

'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me 
Old pictures that I'll always see 
Time to spin the pages 
In my book of memories 
Prayers in my pocket 
And no hand in destiny 
I'll keep on movin' along 
With no time to plant my feet 

'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me 
Old pictures that I'll always see 
Some things could be better 
If we'd all just let them be 

Ooh yesterday's got nothin' for me 
Yesterday's, Ooh got nothin' for me 
Got nothin' for me, yeah 

Yesterday 
There was so many things 
I was never shown 
Suddenly this time I found 
I'm on the streets and I'm all alone 

Yesterday's got nothin' for me 
Old pictures that I'll always see 
I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties 

Ooh yesterday's got nothin' for me 
Yesterday's, Ooh got nothin' for me 
Yesterday's got nothin' for me 
Yesterday 

Yesterday

. . .



You pack your bags
And you move to the city 
There's somethin' missin' here at home 
You fix your hair 
And you're lookin' real pretty 
It's time to get it out on your own 
You're always fightin' 
With your mama and you papa 
Your family life is one big pain! 
When you, you gonna move to the city? 
Into the city where it all began 

You gotta move 
You gotta move 
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma 
Time you gotta move 

You stole your mama's car 
And your daddy's plastic credit card 
You're sixteen and you can't get a job 
You're not goin' very far 
You're always ridin' 
With the teachers and the police 
This life is much too insane! 
When you, you gonna move to the city? 
Into the city where it all began 

You gotta move 
You gotta move 
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma 
Time you gotta move 
Right to the city 
Where the real men get it 
Aw, child, ain't it a pity? 
Sometimes it gets too shitty! 
Come on and hit me! 

You're on the streets 
And it ain't so pretty 
You need to get a new what you please 
You do what you gotta do for the money 
At times you end up on your knees! 

I'm always buyin' 
With the local and the junkies 
This city life is one big pain! 
But you, you had to move to the city 
Into the city where it all began 

You gotta move 
You gotta move 
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma 
Time you gotta move 
Oh right to the city 
With the real nitty gritty 
Aw, child, ain't it a pity? 
Sometimes it gets too shitty! 
Come on and hit me!

. . .



I'm a cold heartbreaker
Fit ta burn and I'll rip your heart in two 
An I'll leave you lyin' on the bed 
I'll be out the door before ya wake 
It's nuthin' new ta you 
'Cause I think we've seen that movie too 

'Cause you could be mine 
But you're way out of line 
With your bitch slap rappin' 
And your cocaine tongue 
You get nuthin' done 
I said you could be mine 

Now holidays come and then they go 
It's nothin' new today 
Collect another memory 
When I come home late at night 
Don't ask me where I've been 
Just count your stars 
I'm home again 

'Cause you could be mine 
But you're way out of line 
With your bitch slap rappin' 
And your cocaine tongue 
You get nuthin' done 
I said you could be mine, yeah 
You could be mine 
You could be mine 
You could be mine 
You could be mine 
You could be mine, mine, mine, mine 

You've gone sketchin' too many times 
Why don't ya give it a rest 
Why 
Must you find 
Another reason to cry 

While you're breakin' down my back n' 
I been rackin' out my brain 
It don't matter how we make it 
'Cause it always ends the same 
You can push it for more mileage 
But your flaps r' wearin' thin 
And I could sleep on it 'til mornin' 
But this nightmare never ends 
Don't forget to call my lawyers 
With ridiculous demands 
An you can take the pity so far 
But it's more than I can stand 
'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older 
Tell me how long has it been 
'Cause 5 years is forever 
An you haven't grown up yet 

You could be mine 
But you're way out of line 
With your bitch slap rappin' 
And your cocaine tongue 
You get nuthin' done 
I said you could be mine 
You should be 
You could be mine 
Oh, You could be mine 
You could be mine 
Oh, You could be mine 
You could be mine 
Oh, You could be mine 
You could be mine 
Oh, You could be mine 
You could be mine 
Yeah!

If I say I don't need anyone
I can say these things to you 'cause 
I can turn on anyone 
Just like I've turned on you 
I've got a tongue like a razor 
A sweet switchblade knife 
And I can do you favors 
But then you'll do whatever I like 

CHORUS: 

Here I am 
And you're a Rocket Queen 
I might be a little young 
But Honey I ain't naive 
Here I am 
And you're a Rocket Queen oh yeah 
I might be too much 
But honey you're a bit obscene 

I've seen everything imaginable 
Pass before these eyes 
I've had everything that's tangible 
Honey you'd be suprised 
I'm a sexual innuendo 
In this burned out paradise 
If you turn me on to anything 
You better turn me on tonight 

CHORUS (x 2) 

I see you standin' 
Standin' on your own 
It's such a lonely place for you 
For you to be 
If you need a shoulder 
Or if you need a friend 
I'll be here standing 
Until the bitter end 
No one needs the sorrow 
No one needs the pain 
I hate to see you 
Walking out there 
Out in the rain 
So don't chastise me 
Or think I, I mean you harm 
Of those that take you 
Leave you strung out 
Much too far 
Baby - yeah 

Don't ever leave me 
Say you'll always be there 
All I ever wanted 
Was for you 
To know that I care

. . .



She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories 
Where everything 
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky 
Now and then when I see her face 
She takes me away to that special place 
And if I stared too long 
I'd probably break down and cry 

Sweet child o' mine 
Sweet love of mine 

She's got eyes of the bluest skies 
As if they thought of rain 
I hate to look into those eyes 
And see an ounce of pain 
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place 
Where as a child I'd hide 
And pray for the thunder 
And the rain 
To quietly pass me by 

Sweet child o' mine 
Sweet love of mine 

Where do we go 
Where do we go now 
Where do we go 

Where do we go 
Oh, where do we go now 
Where do we go 
Oh, where do we go now 
Oh, where do we go now 
Oh, where do we go 
Oh, where do we go now 
Where do we go 
Oh, where do we go now 
Where do we go 
Oh, where do we go now 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no 
Sweet child 
Sweet child o' mine

Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore 
It's getting dark too dark to see 
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door 

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 

Mama put my guns in the ground 
I can't shoot them anymore 
That cold black cloud is comin' down 
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door 

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 

"YOU JUST BETTER START SNIFFIN' YOUR OWN RANK SUBJUGATION 
JACK 'CAUSE IT'S JUST YOU AGAINST YOUR TATTERED LIBIDO, THE 
BANK AND THE MORTICIAN, FOREVER MAN AND IT WOULDN'T BE 
LUCK IF YOU COULD GET OUT OF LIFE ALIVE" 

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes 
Don't hang your head in sorrow 
And please don't cry 
I know how you feel inside I've 
I've been there before 
Somethin's changin' inside you 
And don't you know 

Don't you cry tonight 
I still love you baby 
Don't you cry tonight 
Don't you cry tonight 
There's a heaven above you baby 
And don't you cry tonight 

Give me a whisper 
And give me a sigh 
Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye 
Don't you take it so hard now 
And please don't take it so bad 
I'll still be thinkin' of you 
And the times we had... baby 

And don't you cry tonight 
Don't you cry tonight 
Don't you cry tonight 
There's a heaven above you baby 
And don't you cry tonight 

And please remember that I never lied 
And please remember 
How I felt inside now honey 
You gotta make it your own way 
But you'll be alright now sugar 
You'll feel better tomorrow 
Come the morning light now baby 

And don't you cry tonight 
An don't you cry tonight 
An don't you cry tonight 
There's a heaven above you baby 
And don't you cry 
Don't you ever cry 
Don't you cry tonight 
Baby maybe someday 
Don't you cry 
Don't you ever cry 
Don't you cry 
Tonight

. . .



When you're talkin to yourself
And nobody's home 
You can fool yourself 
You came in this world alone 
(Alone) 

So nobody ever told you baby 
How it was gonna be 
So what'll happen to you baby 
Guess we'll have to wait and see 
ONE, TWO 

Old at heart but I'm only 28 
And I'm much too young 
To let love break my heart 
Young at heart but it's getting much too late 
To find ourselves so far apart 

I don't know how you're s'posed to find me lately 
An what more could you ask from me 
How could you say that I never needed you 
When you took everything 
Said you took everything from me 

Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait 
When no one I know can seem to help me now 
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate 
If I'm to find my own way out 

Still talkin' to myself 
And nobody's home 
(Alone) 

So nobody ever told us baby 
How it was gonna be 
So what'll happen to us baby 
Guess we'll have to wait and see 

When I find out all the reasons 
Maybe I'll find another way 
Find another day 
With all the changing seasons of my life 
Maybe I'll get it right next time 
An now that you've been broken down 
Got your head out of the clouds 
You're back down on the ground 
And you don't talk so loud 
An you don't walk so proud 
Any more, and what for 

Well I jumped into the river 
Too many times to make it home 
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone 
If it doesn't show give it time 
To read between the lines 
'Cause I see the storm getting closer 
And the waves they get so high 
Seems everything we've ever known's here 
Why must it drift away and die 

I'll never find anyone to replace you 
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time - Oh this time 
Without you 

I knew the storm was getting closer 
And all my friends said I was high 
But everything we've ever known's here 
I never wanted it to die

. . .



Take me down
To the paradise city 
Where the grass is green 
And the girls are pretty 
Take me home 
(back vocals) 
I want you please take me home 
(x 2) 

Just a' urchin livin' under the street 
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat 
I'm your charity case 
So buy me somethin' to eat 
I'll pay you at another time 
Take it to the end of the line 

Ragz to richez or so they say 
Ya gotta-keep pushin' for the fortune and fame 
You know it's 
It's all a gamble 
When it's just a game 
Ya treat it like a capital crime 
Everybody's doin' their time 

Take me down 
To the paradise city 
Where the grass is green 
And the girls are pretty 
I want you please take me home 

CHORUS: 

Take me down 
To the paradise city 
Where the grass is green 
And the girls are pretty 
Take me home 

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber 
Why I'm here I can't quite remember 
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe 
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see 
Tell me who you're gonna believe 

CHORUS 

Take me down 
To the paradise city 
Where the grass is green 
And the girls are pretty 
I want you please take me home 

So far away 
So far away 
So far away 
So far away 

Captain America's been torn apart 
Now he's a court jester with a broken heart 
He said - 
Turn me around and take me back to the start 
I must be losin' my mind - "Are you blind?" 
I've seen it all a million times 

CHORUS 

Take me down 
To the paradise city 
Where the grass is green 
And the girls are pretty 
I want you please take me home 

CHORUS 

Take me down 
To the paradise city 
Where the grass is green 
And the girls are pretty 
I want you please take me home
