Little Wing (Bonus Track)
. . .


Downtown Jimmy, say you're feelin' kinda blue
It's no problem, this is whatcha gotta do
Telephone your baby, tell her that you're workin' late
Come and pay a visit, please don't hesitate

Come join the party, come along and be our guest
Sit back and let us do the rest, we're the best, yeah

Come on an' meet me at the station
Don't pack your bags, just fix your hair
Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta get out
Just look for me, I'm always there

Chorus:
Come on let's ride, ride that gypsy train
All aboard, now don't you be afraid
Come on let's ride, ride that gypsy train
Feed the fire, let's go one mo' time again

Medication, little love and sympathy
Cool libation, it's complimentary
Play a little poker, love when the stakes are high
Lotta nasty women, givin' everyone the eye

Say downtown Jimmy, tell me whatcha need
Satisfaction guaranteed, guaranteed, yeah

It's a perfect situation, it's so nice to have you here
Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta pull out
Happy shiny people everywhere

Chorus

(Instrumental break)

It's a perfect situation, it's so nice to have you here
Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta put out
Happy shiny people everywhere

Chorus repeats 2x

Tired and frozen
I'm under your spell
I thought I knew you
But now I know you well
I wake up beside you
Move across your killing floor
I need my freedom and I see an open door
The room is getting smaller and the walls are closin' in
No one's leavin' and nobody's gettin' in

I try to run
I try to hide
I try to tell you what I'm feelin' inside
Should I stay
Should I go
You know I wanna touch you
But there's nothing left to hold

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go

Looks like trouble
The signs are everywhere
I bend a little but you take more than your share
Crimes of passion
Crimes of mortal men
It's a deadly attraction and I won't be fooled again, baby
The storm is coming
The winds begin to rise
Please release me from this house of compromise

All day
All night
Your love is like an outlaw waiting till the time is right
Nobody's wrong
No one's to blame
Maybe it's just too hot because we're standin' in the flame

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go

I'm a victim of your pain and jealousy
I feel like a prisoner and you hold the lock and key
We lost our vision
We lost our paradise
But there's still a part of me I refuse to sacrifice

I try to run
I try to hide
I need to tell you what I'm feelin' inside, baby
Should I stay
Should I go
You know I wanna touch you
But there's nothing left to hold

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go
(repeats 2x)

Seems the world needs a change in its attitude
It doesn't seem like there's much that a man can do
They try to sell the earth on a wild crusade
Then complain about not bein' paid

How can some people have the nerve
Hell hasn't froze but it's on the verge
It's gone way past the point of greed
How many lifetimes will we need

Chorus:
'Cause it's never enough, they keep on takin' till they take too much
'Cause it's never enough, it won't be long until they run out of luck

We've been bought and sold for a thousand years
And all I got to show is a six pack full of tears
And all the while the fat cats they watch from the hill
Nothin's changed, it never has an' never will

You better strap on your sharpest spurs
For the ride of your life, 'cause it's gonna hurt
You can't say you didn't ask for this
It's too late to find somebody's ass to kick

Chorus

Who's got the money and who gets the rent
By the time it's all over, you ain't got a cent, hey, hey

How can some people have the nerve
Hell hasn't froze but it's on the verge
It's gone way past the point of greed
How many lifetimes will we need

Chorus repeats 2x

. . .


How many years keep on slipping away
And it seems that your life doesn't matter
You never had a chance

How many ways is a love torn apart
And you look to your heart for some answers
Don't let it slip away

Can't blame myself anymore, I've been beaten and accused before
Well I took some bad advice, and I paid too high a price
I could sell my soul, you know I wouldn't think twice

Chorus:
How many times must a man fall down
I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
How many dreams have to fall to the ground
It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on, yeah

How many times do you look for some sign
That there's hope, and your life has some meaning
Almost every day, hey, hey

Maybe I was born to wander, I got no high hopes any longer
So tell me my friend, just where does it end
Is nothin' ever gonna free me from this hell I'm livin' in

Chorus

Can't blame myself anymore, I've been beaten and accused before
So tell me my friend, just where does it end
I'm sick and tired of livin' in a rat race that no one ever wins

Chorus repeats 2x

. . .


You said you would wait for me, but something went wrong
The house was empty, your pictures gone
I knew you'd come back one day, our love was so strong
The past behind us, it's here you belong

'Cause I'm deep inside you, you're deep inside me
I always knew that we would always be

Chorus:
Two hearts forever, one heart alone
I need to know your love is mine
Two hearts forever, one heart alone
I won't let go of you this time

You could've talked to me, what changed your mind
I could have been there by your side
You thought you could walk away, but you know that's a lie
This loneliness is hard to hide

It's so easy to surrender, and temptation always finds a way
You must hold on, you know we must hold on, whoa-oh-oh

Chorus

Chorus

Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I won't let go of you this time
Take this heart of mine, whoa-oh-oh

. . .


My faithful companion
I've lost my way once again
A prisoner of darkness
I let you down my friend

A heart left abandoned takes so long to heal its wounds
Your touch not forgotten, the end of the dream
It comes too soon, in this lonely room
Till I leave this world, always know that

Chorus:
I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh our love doesn't end here
It lives forever on the wings of time

The road that I travel
Don't know which way I should turn
Till I find the answer
Know that the fire within me will always burn

Angel of mercy, please, why so much pain?
I cry for forgiveness, I'm the destitute man
Who still remains, it's so hard to explain
Till I leave this world, always know that

Chorus

Sometimes I feel just like crying
I can't turn my back, all these years I've been trying
A vision of you keeps reappearing to me
You can't blame yourself, just reach out your hand and believe

We sail in dark waters
Lord give me some peace of mind
Temptation before me
Ahead lies the tower of truth that I must find
To you I will climb
Till I leave this cruel world far behind, always know that

Chorus repeats 2x

. . .


She got fingernails like knives, she got twenty-four karat eyes
She wants everything she sees, she'll drop you to your knees
She ain't gonna change her wicked ways, I'll love her till my dying day
She got poison heart, painted smile, she always has a girlfriend
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Chorus:
She knows the devil, she knows the devil
She knows the devil, and the devil knows me
She knows the devil, she knows the devil
She knows the devil, and the devil knows me

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Bad little girl with a vermin tongue, ooh, she loves to have her fun
The daughter of Mephistopheles, she loves to aim and she aims to please
She'll take any young god and burn him down
He'll see who's the queen and who's the clown
She got lips that bleed, she's what I need, I want her for my girlfriend
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Chorus

She wants everything she sees, she'll drop you to your knees
She ain't gonna change her wicked ways, I'll love her till my dying day
She got poison heart, painted smile, she always brings a girlfriend
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, she knows the devil
Whoa, whoa, whoa, she knows the devil

. . .


The waiting game is over
No need for pretending, we were meant to be
It's only getting stronger
The love I feel for you, it's no mystery

I've got to find some way to tell you
Though our world seems far apart
It just don't have to be
The time has come to testify
All the feelings I've been holding back
It's time to set them free

Chorus:
I've been watching you from the other side
I've been wanting to hold you through the night
I've got to find my way to the other side
I want to hold you tonight and forever

The moment that I saw you
I knew inside my heart, all my dreams would come true
I know it took some time to realize
A love we can't deny, I've got to see it through

Chorus

I want to be the one who loves you, now and forever
I want to take my place beside you
I want to be the one to hold you, now and forever
I will meet you there on the other side

Chorus repeats 2x

From the other side, from the other side
I want to hold you tonight and forever

. . .


Waiting for you again
Seems like this never ends
I close my eyes and I see your face
And I see it all fading away

Woke up before you again
You're still asleep I can't pretend
I feel like I'm losing you
And I am trying to make everything right

Chorus:
Only you
Only me
Say the words I want to hear for all eternity
Only you
Holding my heart in your hands
Only me
Still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh

If I could have a second chance
Maybe change the circumstance
Imagine if the dream came true
We could start it all over tonight

Chorus repeats 2x

Only you
Only me
Say the words I want to hear for all eternity
Only you
Holding my heart in your hands
Only me
Still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh

. . .


Took the long way to the shortcut, and the walls were made of stone
Took the low road to the highground, had to feel it in my bones
Everybody wants some heaven, but nobody wants to die
It's been brought to my attention
You'll be dead a long time, now ain't that a crime

Chorus:
Kick down the walls, shake down the building, help me bust out of this cage
Kick down the walls, shake down the building, must be time for a change

I went driving in the moonlight, there was no place left to go
I went digging in my coalmine, when I hit the motherload
If this world could work together, like a big old human clock
It would run on till forever, it would never have to stop, never have to stop

Chorus

You can't buy no protection, don't care who you are
Spreading out in all directions, now it's no hold barred
Everybody runs for cover, from the sun and sex and sin
If you think you got the answers, buddy just you come on in, step right in

Chorus repeats 2x

Kick down the walls, shake down the building
Kick down the walls, shake down the building
Kick down the walls, shake down the building
Kick down the walls, shake down the building

. . .


You used to be on fire, now you chill me to the bone
We used to fly like angels, now we're sinking like a stone
You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels
I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels

Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing

And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go

Chorus:
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed
My sheets feel like sandpaper, and my pillow feels like lead
But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea
I'm sinking like a stone babe, that's how it's got to be

Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing

And oh, if I don't have you, there's only one thing left for me to do

Chorus

When you dig up God's little acre, you lose all peace of mind
You stare into the distance, looking for a sign
But that sign it never comes babe, your wishes won't come true
You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you

And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go

Chorus repeats 2x

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing
