Superstars
Written by james young, dennis deyoung, tommy shaw
Lead vocals by tommy shaw and dennis deyoung
Youve read about me in the papers
Youve seen me on the movie screen
You know everything about me
Im your late night fantasy
But dont think I cant hear you calling
From the shadow of the 14th row
Cause Ive had the same dreams youve had
A few short years ago and thats why I know
You and i
We will climb so high
Superstars
Whoa whoa you and i
And well just close our eyes
And well become our fantasy
Superstars yes, yes, superstars
Step right this way. everyones welcome,
We want your dreams.
The offers simple, momentary immortality
Cause Ive seen them all you know
Ive seen them climb and Ive seen them fall
Ive seen them come and Ive seen them go
And through it all theres only one thing that matters
Love - and thats simply
You and i
Yes, you and i
For we are superstars

Put me on Im your brand new record album
Side one, cut one listen to the songs
Play me loud dont you worry bout your nieghbors
Hope I make you feel good all day long

Im the madman screaming in your living room
Ill soon be coming to your town
To sing and play a little tune

Turn your stereo up all the way

So hear the synthesizers play
And now youre in the mood
Let the melody just drift your cares away
Its got to do you good
As it mesmerizes you in its own way
So drift away...

This Old Man
Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
This old man
He worked for thirty years with
Two strong hands, in the factory light his
Lunch box held all his needs with
Coffee sandwiches and dreams
For me
This old man
He taught me many times
To undertand, that showing love is simply
Nothing you should have o hide
Dont keep your feelings locked inside
He said
When I was young
I dreamed a young mans dreams
I saw in you reyes
The things Id never seen
But now I grow old
But I dont really mind
Cause cant you see with my family
Well share these timeless memories

Snowblind
Written by dennis deyoung and james young
Lead vocals by james young and tommy shaw
Mirror, mirror on the wall
The face youve shown me scares me so
I thought that I could call your bluff
But now the lines are clear enough
Lifes not pretty even though
Ive tried so hard to make it so
Mornings are such cold distress
How did I ever get into this mess
Im snowblind, cant live without you
So fine I just cant get away
Now Im snowblind, snowblind, snowblind
Harmless and innocent you devil in white
You stole my will without a fight
You filled me with confidence, but you blinded my eyes
You tricked me with visions of paradise
Now I realize im
Snowblind, cant live without you
So fine I just cant get away
Now Im snowblind, snowblind, snowblind
Mirror, mirror I confess
I cant escape this emptiness
No more reason to pretend
Here comes that same old feeling again
Snowblind, cant live without you
So fine I just cant get away
Wont you throw me a lifeline
Im going down for the third time
Im snowblind, and I cant get away

Since I dont know when

Digging in your heels
If your persuasion attack
Leaves me flat on my back

While the whole world cracks

Speak of the devil
And look who appears
Hes cranking up the level
In between your ears
But hes so frustrated
Cause he cant get a rise
Out of someone whos reflecting
Heaven in their eyes
I see heaven in your eyes.
(you look so good)
Yeah (yeah), whoa yeah (whoa yeah)
Youre the best new face
In the human race

First Time
Written by dennis deyoung (for paul)
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
The lights are low
And were alone
The fires glow
It keeps us warm
As I reach out and touch your face
The moon lights up our first embrace
But please dont hesitate
Hold my hand, dont be afraid
Of the feelings in your heart
Just close your eyes, no one will mind
If were to fall in love this first time
Dont be afraid of love
Dont be afraid of love
Dont be afraid of love
Its the first time
The first time for love
There could be so many worlds and mountains
We could climb
Together, the two of us tonight
The two of us, were quite a pair
These lonely nights we both can share
So dont be shy, cause its okay
I understand feeling that way
Hold my hand, dont be afraid
Of the feelings in your heart
Close your eyes, no one will mind
If were to fall in love this first time
Its the first time
The first time for love
There could be so many worlds and mountains
We could climb
Together, the two of us tonight

Silk and satin make me wonder
Just who I am
To be with you in times of slumber
Makin me a man
I havent known you for a very long time
But its on my mind what I want to do
A trip to the skies we begin to fly
Oo-oooh
All the riches I have taken
From you every night
Pay you back someday with interest
cause your loving makes it right

Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That I ever had
Your loving seemed to be the best thing

Borrowed Time
Written by dennis deyoung and tommy shaw
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
Yeah yeah!
Dont look now, but here come the eightees!
I was so cool back in sixty-five
I had it made cause I understood what to do to survive
I had my car, and I made the scene
Didnt give a damn about no gasoline
They can go to hell
My friend we never thought about the world
And its realities
The promised land was ours
We were the great society
Im so confused by the things I read, I need the truth
But the truth is, I dont know who to believe
The left say yes, and the right says no
Im in between and the more I learn
Well, the less that I know
I got to make a show
Livin high, living fine
Livin high on borrowed time
Yes! no!
Yes! no!
No! yes!
No! yes!
Faith be with me now
Im just a dreamer in a dreamland
Faith be with me now
Im just a dreamer in a dreamland
cause were
Livin high
Livin fine (you know Im livin fine)
Livin high (yes Im livin high)
On borrowed time (on borrowed time)
Livin high (whoohoo!)
Livin fine (ahhh!)
Livin high
On lake shore drive (midnight ride)
Livin high (were livin high)
On leslie lane (lets go back and play it again!)
Livin high (were livin high)
On red bud trail (on red bud, red bud trail!)
Livin high
On central drive (hes on central drive!)
Livin high (were livin, livin high)
On prestwick drive (catch me on prestwick drive!...)
Livin high (...gettin in and drivin my mercedes...)
Livin fine (...up and down and up and down -- sh*t! I dont....)

Jennifer

Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
Jennifer
She drinks her sherry wine
She keeps her ladys love for me all the time
Shes seventeen, barely old enough to cry
A child in her fathers eyes
A woman every night
Her love,
Gives me the power
Her dreams carry me on
Jennifer, so inviting
That I sing
Jennifer
She took me by surprise
She told me that shes much too young to keep me satisfied
Jennifer, ah so delicate and shy
A child in her mothers eyes but
A woman every night
Her love,
Gives me the power
Her dreams carry me on
Jennifer, so inviting
That I sing...

Why Me
Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
I guess we used to be the lucky ones
Good fortune smiled on everyone
Stop
A voice said you best beware
Stop
Bad luck is everywhere
And sure enough the voice was right
My luck changed overnight
Stop
Please tell me what went wrong
Stop
I cant take these ups and downs
Hard times come, hard times go
And in between you hope and pray
The scars dont show
cause life is strange and so unsure
The days you hardly make it through
You swear that theres a curse on you
cause nothing seems to fit
And things wont go your way
You know youve had enough
Youve got the right to say
Why me, why me
Rubelator
Stop
Here comes anxiety
Stop
Wont you please let me be, I need relief
Hard times come, hard times go
In between you hope and pray
The scars dont show
cause life is strange and so unsure
The days you hardly make it through
Youre sure that there is a curse on you
If nothing seems to fit
And things wont go your way
You know youve had enough
You cant take another day
Where to go and what to do
Youve got those bills to pay
Youre really not alone you know
cause everybody says,
Why me
Why me
Why me? thats what I want to know. you know what I mean? huh. I dont know.

What Have They Done To You
Written by james young and tommy shaw
Lead vocals by james young and tommy shaw
There must be something out there,
There must be something real
Well this mysterys a nightmare
And I dont know what to feel
Well I heard you had a hell of a time there
I guess it chilled you down to the bone
If theres one thing I can tell you
Itll never leave you less than alone
In spite of everything you told me
In spite of everything Ive heard
Theres nothing here that I call holy
Not a solitary word
Could you tell me what its like on the outside
Were you really lost and out of control
Were you reaching for your freedom
When the gatekeeper called for the toll
Oh-oh, what have they done to you
Where, where have you gone
Oh-oh, I wanna run to you
In spite of what youre saying
I still cant let you go
Well they say you witnessed some kind of lefe there
Was it something real or nothing at all
Or is your imagination all thats there to catch you
If you start to fall
Oh-oh, what have they done to you
Where, where have you gone
Oh-oh I wanna run to you
In spite of what youre saying
I still cant let you go
Oh-oh, what have they done to you
Where, where have you gone
Oh-oh I wanna run to you
In spite of what youre saying
I still cant let you go
What have they done to you

Nothing Ever Goes As Planned
Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
Whatcha going to do when the sun goes down tonight
Youll hit the same old clubs, rap that same old trash
Thats right
Youve got them real silk shirts and them baggy pants
Dago shoes in the colors that match
But the girls are acting bored
And youre feeling like youre going to lose
Youve got the g.q. blues
You get up every morning and you go to work each day
(you go to work, you go to work, you go to work)
Been doing the same damn job for ten long years this may
(youve got to work, youve got to work, youve got to work)
Youve been working and saving for your jamaican dream
Paradise is waiting across the sea
But when your plane lands montego turns to monsoon
Youve got the island blues
cause, nothing ever goes as planned
Its a hell of a notion
Even pharaohs turn to sand
Like a drop in the ocean
Youre so together and you act so civilized
But every time that things go wrong youre still surprised
Youve done your duty, youve paid a fortune in dues
Still got those mother natures blues
I strut around the stage like a little king tonight
Theyll scream for every word and every note, thats right
But when the show is over and Im all alone
Cant reach my baby on the telephone
And everywhere I look mr. loneliness is in the news
Ive got the big star blues
Boy, nothing ever goes as planned
Its a hell of a notion
Even pharaohs turn to sand
Like a drop in the ocean
Im so together and I act so civilized
But every time that things go wrong
Im still surprised
Ive done my duty and paid a fortune in dues
Still got them mother natures blues

Come Sail Away
Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
Im sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
Ive got to be free, free to face the life thats ahead of me
On board, Im the captain, so climb aboard
Well search for tomorrow on every shore
And Ill try, oh lord, Ill try to carry on
I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But well try best that we can to carry on
A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

La la la la
La la la la

One day youre up
And the next day youre down
And all your dreams
Pass you by
You sit in your room
With your face in a frown
Waiting for her
Last goodbye
And all of the wishing wells
And stars in the sky
Wont make her stay any more
And all of the plans youve made
Will soon wash to sea
Like a lark who cant sing any more
Once in awhile you remember her laugh
For she could make you feel strong
twas then that you thought your love always would last
But now it seems you were wrong
And all of the wishing wells
And stars in the sky
Wont make her stay anymore
And all of the plans youve made
Will soon wash to sea
Like a lark who cant sing any more
Golden lark wont you sing any more
Golden lark
Keeps her heart
Riding on the wind
Shes a mystery
Like a gypsy
Hides her love within
Golden lark
Keeps her heart
Riding on the wind
Shes a mystery
Like a gypsy
Hides her love within

Just Fell In
Written by tommy shaw, james young
Lead vocals by tommy shaw
Noitacidem rouy rof emit sti, seidal yako.
It was 8:15
When I pulled into the 7 eleven
I bought a 12 ounce coffee
And I threw down a 357
I guess I was thinking I would never be found
Next thing I knew I was spread-eagle
Down on the ground
I just fell into a manic depression
And I really want to spend it with you
I got pretty paper shoes
And Im weaving you a basket for christmas
Three hots and a cot
And a cellmate who keeps calling me missus
But I like to think Im the king of the couch
And I like my shrink
cause he always brings me smoke in a pouch
I just fell into a manic depression
And I really want to spend it with you
We dont have any inhibitions
Were not consumed by ambition
Weve got no mission control
They say dr. freud might call me an anal retentive
But my po says Im delinquent and I got no incentive
Rehab is a thing of the past
I step into the cab and say hey buddy, step on the gas
Just fell into a manic depression
And I really want to spend it with you
Okay ladies, its time for your medication

Pieces Of Eight
Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
Its six oclock
Good morning sounds are everywhere
The warmth of spring, a gentle breeze blows through my hair
I hurry through my life never stopping to see
How beautiful it was meant to be
Im just a prisoner in a kings disguise
Broken dreams as we shuffle by
Its six oclock its quitting time Im done for the day
Out on the streets I overheard a lady say
We now have everything or so people say
But now this emptiness haunts me every day
We seek the lions share never knowing why
Come alive spread your wings and fly
Pieces of eight
The search for the money tree
Dont cash your freedoms in for gold
Pieces of eight
Cant buy you everything
Dont let it turn your heart to stone

Just Get Through The Night
Written by tommy shaw
Lead vocals by tommy shaw
[whispered]
Help me kilroy....tonight well make history
I hear you jonathon...meet me at the paradise
This could be the longest night in recorded history
And as for sleep, you might as well just cross it off the list of
Possibilities
(now) Im as brave as the next man
I wont turn and run from a fight
And I could last a million years
If I just get through this night
I could be a novelist
Tell secrets never heard
Pour my soul into each and every sentence
But I just cant find the words
Still I know that youre out there
And you can relate to it all
And I could bear the cold and stormy winter
If I just get through this fall
Dont you know theres no place on this earth
Where you can run to escape the pain of a broken heart
Its useless to spend the time it takes you try
But cant you see that Im here
And Im looking just the same
And I dont know why...
I could be a movie star
The king of hollywood
Make them cry, dramatically pretending
To keep romance alive
And I would humbly thank my director
And everyone involved from the start
I could blow them all away
If Id only find the the part
If I just get through this night
If I just get through this night
