The doctor said "Come back again next week, I think that you need me."
All she did was cry
She wanted to die
"Doctor when can you see me?"
There's a guy out there! Seems like he's everywhere!
It just ain't fair!
Heartless-Heartless! Never out of control
Heartless-Heartless! Sin in the name of rock and roll
Heartless-Heartless! He thinks it's so cool to be cold
Never realize the way love dies when you crucify it's soul
Late night in the penthouse room, the fire is burning
Shadows are warm, laying in his arms she answers his yearning
Her eyes are filled with sand
Heartless-Heartless! Never out of control
Heartless-Heartless! Sin in the name of rock and roll
Heartless-Heartless! He thinks it's so cool to be cold

Come on down from the top of the mountain, flowing
Doin' the slow slide into town, keep on going
Darkness dancers get down, heavily hoping
Stroking the stone soul, loving, drinking and doping
Like a blind moth looking for color in the lights
Dance in the spotlight, I feel alright
Just my devil, my devil delight
I've seen those midnight ladies just for the moment's using
She keep on playing, never know whether she's losing it
He got those sexy green eyes, clicking the trigger, no warning
It's all gonna come rolling back in the morning
You might feel me burning all night
Like a dirty demon daughter, don't put up no fight
I dance in the spotlight, I'm alright
It's just my devil, my devil delight
Lover and fool, glass and jewel, the potion
Comedy, tragedy, making the game, emotion
On your toes, do the gambling roll for your fortune
. . .

Once in a life
We lived in a sanctuary
A song could get us free
Slept behind the altar
Only the singer saw
Now it is gone, years on
Times we took alone
Stealing an hour, buying a night
It's hard on the telephone
Love outside the law
Jai tant reve du toi
Is it gone, this year
Is the song still in your ear
Were we only high
Just the wine
Only the times
When we're old
How will the story be told
Windswept smoke used by time
Waiting for the bus
Will that be us?
Do you recall my friend
We never thought we'd ever fall
When the salesman came to call
Selling our soul to buy
Sometimes it ain't no deal at all
. . .

Well I can't forget this evening
Though your face as you were leaving
But I guess thats just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes the sorrow show
Yes it shows
And I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all your sorrow
When I had you there
and then let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
Yeah -- gotta know
I can't live if living is without you
I can't give I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't give I can't give anymore
Well I can't forget this evening
though your face as you were leaving
But I guess thats just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
yes it shows
I can't live if living is without you
I can't give I can't give anymore no no more

Up in the little room, looking down, everybody's passing time
Princess dressed in wool, dreaming eyes, whispering her rhymes
"Rain play my song today, no one wants to know me anyway"
Perfect lover where are you?
I can't wait much more for you to come true
Shining prince inside my head,
Live inside a palace underneath my bed
And everybody knows who they are in a velvet garden of rhinestone stars
Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes
They go dancing cross the pages of the magazine
Typewriter steel and gray, work away, everybody's going home
Over across town, caught in a crowd, still living alone
Little room for her out of the rain
A little something for the pain
Lady-in-waiting potentially for the lord of the rock 'n roll aristocracy
Dreaming in photographs at night, love's like sand held in your hand so tight
And everybody know who they are in a velvet garden of rhinestone stars
Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes
They go dancing cross the pages of the magazine
Everyday's like the day before
Come in tired and lock the door
Paint your space with magic hands
Shining slick and dandy
Shining slick and dandy
Smile at your fans
"C'mon pretty boy sing for us take me"
Take me over the edge
I know you're good enough
And everybody knows who they are in a velvet garden of rhinestone stars
Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes
. . .

Today summer day
Warm and green and grey
Wake up in the morning making love to me
Old man, lover child
How do you keep that smile
In the rain and in pain
All the same
All the same
Smiling through the rain
. . .

Well- you can have me all the time
Or you can never come my way
But Mother Earth is waiting for you
There's a debt you've got to pay
I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you earn
You know that when it all comes down
You've got to go back to Mother Earth
You know you may have a million dollars
Or you may drive a cadillac
You may have enough money
To buy anything, ANYTHING you lack
Well- I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you're worth
Cuz you know when it all comes down
You've got to go back
You've got to go back to
Mother Earth
You know you shook me, Babe
You shook me all night loooooooong
You know you shook me, Baby
You shook me all night loooooooong

Ain't got no trouble in my life
No foolish dream to make me cry
I'm never frightened or worried
You know I always get by.
I heat up
I cool down
Something gets in my way I go around it
Don't let life get me down
Gonna take it the way that I found it
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
You say that life is a circle
But that ain't the way that I found it
Oh...Gonna move in a straight line
Keeping my feet firmly on the ground
I heat up
I cool down
I got words in my head so I sing them
Don't let life get me down
I can't hold onto the blues so I play them
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
I've got the music in me
. . .
