Meanstreets
Theres a heartbeat in the city
Caught in the rush theres no pity
On the edge of day
Late night traffic, late to go home
Im slippin out into the twilight zone
Im on the edge of day
* in a stolen moment two lovers meet
Whisperin promises they cant keep
Across the bar jukebox plays
Out in the night they steal away
** out on the meanstreets, feel my heartbeat
Each and every step I take
Out on the meanstreets, feel my heartbeat
Its in every move I make
With all the heat now, and all the stories
Heroes wrestle for the chance of glory
On the edge of day
Midnight cowboys make the sweep
Theres nothing sacred on the street
Were on the edge again
* repeat
** repeat
When the lights go down you know life comes easy
Its easy baby
In the wild west end you can find
A friend tonight
Oh tonight
Got to keep this heart. inspired
[instrumental]
* repeat
** repeat twice then the instruments wrap it up

On The Edge Of The Edge Of The Edge
ON THE EDGE OF THE EDGE OF THE EDGE
On the edge of the edge of the edge
There is nowhere to go-
Home is lost,
And all the distances have broken down-
One cannot move
One can only fear-
On the edge of the edge of the edge
Falling is fear-
And holding one’s ground
One step at a time
Is a small miracle
One is not sure
One can make alone.
On the edge of the edge of the edge-

Night Run
Love me tender, love me true
Oooh baby what a song could do
We were sharp like needles in the dark, no question mark
My friend billy was one of a kind
Growin up and runnin wild
We could take a sunset and make it real
We stood together on the edge of a knife
[fools? ] to be friends, brothers for life
* and we have seen the night run, its a thousand miles away
Yes we have seen the night run, it passed us by in just one day
Used to say well its me and you
Oooh we could make dreams come true
And we put some magic in this night, oh feels so right
Came across your photograph
Everything was just a laugh
Where do you go when you reach the end
Into the night we would explode
With hand on my heart, rules of the road
* repeat twice
[instrumental]
Big city lights they fade then they go
[along with your sense of humor, no..]
Some people give up and lose the fight
We could prove it night after night after...
* repeat three times then start fading out

Wild, The Willing And The Innocent
They don't seem to sound right, i have put them in [ ].
/who's/ ["he's"] dressed to kill, out to thrill
Waiting for you tonight
Got my ear down to the ground
Waiting for the warning sound
Something's got to bite

In the heat of the night
Waiting for a show
Looking for a wild rose
In the heat of the night
Waiting for a show

Are down, down in the jungle tonight
As the jackal tracks every step you make
Watching, waiting for the one chance to bite
Time was right, a satin light
In the final dangerous game
/trap set,/ ["attracted"] in the net
Feel my hands start to sweat
Ooh i'm taking aim

Cold black steel, your last meal
The hand of fate has come
Phone taps, blueprint maps
Making my nerve ends snap

Rhythm Of The City
The news is out, its hot on the street
Its down to the wire, its back to the beat
As the sun goes west theres change in the wind
Hear the rhythm of hearts as the night rushes in
Feel the temperature rise to a fever pitch
And the city will hold back its power
Then the rhythm explodes as the hour strikes
*midnight, my love is alive
Cant you feel the heat
Of emotions taking over
Midnight, my love will survive
Cant you feel the rhythm
I can feel the rhythm of the city*
The night draws near, the street lights reveal
A whole world beyond this concrete and steel
Let me feel your touch in the midnight wind
In the traffic of hearts as the night rushes in
Feel the temperature rise to a fever pitch
And the city will hold back its power
Then the rhythm explodes as the hour strikes
(* repeat)
Come on baby turn out the lights
Let me move you to the rhythm tonight
Feel it building to my every beat
Keep me comin til Im back on the street and its

No Mean City
Stopped in fright at a traffic light
Red eyes staring me out
Strange feelings comin' down tonight
Can't quite figure it out
Fit your alibi before your crime
No need in serving no time
Case you scam, or you'll get rammed
Stretched out on that line
Hangin' out at a shooting site
Cold turkey calling a tune
All the answers coming late tonight
Try to look like you're immune
In your eyes you can feel the heat
But the feelings outa touch
You're working on just a holding on
You're hurtin' oh so much
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?
Call off your dogs 'cause i am no fox
Turn off your white light
My alibi is rock tight
Your night stick, cheap trick is pullin' me in
Your monkey suit, stage fright, black and white blue suit, law suit
Is wearin', mighty thin
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?
Borstal boy laughing at justice now he's a star
And the perfume he wore lingers on the king's road
Like a whore
Legs wrapped around a plastic stool
He's making more in one day
Than you've had.......hot, hot dinners
Call out your legions, the savior is loose
Telling true stories you know that ain't no use
Your empire is burning you can feel the smell
Your hot rod , space pod, tax relief, kill machine
Is looking mean
And should be working well
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?

Pimpin' Ain't Easy
[ice-t]
Godfather's in the house..
Grab yo' bitches
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't easy man (repeat 4x)
Take a look at me, everything i own's iced out
Pimp baby, you can see my wrists with the lights out
This is how i do it, mad bitches and clothes
Godfather baby, only play to my rogues
Step back, hater make a little room for my hoes
Gators on my feet, take a look at my toes
Money is the reason all the real players know that
Godfather lays punks to rest
He got no chance up against the best
I rocks in the east and i rolls in the west
If you don't dig the pimpin i could really care less
Cause it's, pimp or die, pimp or die baby
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't easy man (repeat 3x)
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't easy..
G-o-d, f-a-t-h-e-r
Hoes start runnin when they see my car
Even though i'ma pro wrestling star
They know i, don't play and i gotta get paid
Everything i wear baby's tailor made
I come into your town and go off like a grenade
And anyone who steps on the mat they get laid
Let me pimp or let me die that's the game i chose
Condos, speedboats, and beautiful hoes
Cartier wristwear, furs and gold
And mad cash baby too much to fold
Cause it's, pimp or die, pimp or die baby
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't easy man (repeat 3x)
Grab yo bitches!
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't easy man (repeat 3x)
Big pimpin jumpin off!
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't easy man (repeat 3x)
Godfather's in the house, bitch!
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't easy man (repeat 3x)
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't easy..
Break yourself bitch!
..
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't easy man (repeat 3x)
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't - pimp or die baby
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't easy man (repeat 3x)
Grab yo bitches!
Pimpin ain't pimpin ain't easy man (repeat 3x)

Cant Wait
Ive been on this road a long time
Ive been travellin for days
But it seems Im getting nowhere
I just cant find my way
Ive been following directions
But they must be out of date
And I cant, and I cant, and I cant, no I cant
Decide which road to take
See Ive got to find my baby
Cause we need to work things out
Ive got to see that woman
I cannot do without her!
You know I cant wait, cant wait another moment
I cant wait, I cant wait another heartbeat
No I cant wait, cant wait another moment
I couldnt wait another heartbeat
I cant wait until midnight
And the nights go on forever
These days I get no sleep
And I miss her more than ever
Inside where love runs deep
Oh I know Im going to find her
Cause Im following this star
And I cant, and I cant, no I cant turn back
Oh lord, Ive come so far
And Ill know shell whisper in my ear
bout all the things Ive missed
Shes got that way about her now
I never could resist
And now I cant wait, cant wait another moment
No I cant wait, I cant wait another heartbeat
I cant wait, cant wait another moment
I couldnt wait another heartbeat
I cant wait until midnight
No I cant wait
I cant wait another moment
I couldnt wait another heartbeat
I cant wait until the midnight
Now I cant wait
No no no cant wait
No no no
Cant wait
No no no
Cant wait

To The Edge
To the edge.
That's the only place to take it.
To the limits as it is pushed.
Having that adrenaline,
Under that skin tight and tensed.
With each muscle prepared...
To sit balanced and dared!
As if you've been fenced...
To be forced to make decisions,
Now it is time to convince!
To the edge
You wish your life fulfilled.
To the edge
Squeezed and juiced,
With a boost that goosebumps
To thrill at will.
To the edge
Not many are willing to live!
They rather discuss who is negative.
And who is undetected but still positive!
To the edge
Where the air is fresh and sweet.
To the edge
There is no chemical to use,
To make one feel more complete.
Take your life and make a clean sweep!
Now...
Take that mess you've got to the edge!
Let it dropp and as you watch it...
Make your own pledge,
You will stop the nonsense fed!
And employ your joy...
The moment you get up and out of bed!

Wreckless
So this is it, have we come to the end
No more fun, oh my friend
But Ill take my chances now
Lettin loose again
Wreckless weekends, weekends
Led by my heart, not my head
Tearing this whole world apart
I found something no one steals
Its love of life, its so real
And I know its hard for you
But here I go again
Wreckless weekends, weekends
Led by my heart, not my head
Tearing this whole world apart
Bringing me down when it starts
And if its a lifetime term
Babe I guess Ill never learn
Got to make a stand right here tonight
Got the fever right to my feet
Kicking my heels and Im coming on heat,
Tonights the night we make it real
Oh baby, its a steal
* its no good tomorrow, its too far away
Im keeping my hand in, you gotta stay
Theres no time for makeup, just put on your shoes
You know weve got nothing to lose
** wreckless, born for a wild weekend
Wreckless, pushing it til the end
Im tired of houston, it sticks in my throat
Im gonna swim , not gonna float
So break these chains and let me loose
cuz if I cant win, Im gonna choose
* repeat
** repeat
** and I cant stand one more lonely night
Without a love thats got no fight
Oh baby , let me know
Cmon sugar, let it show
One more time, we will know
I gotta keep you, cant let you go

At The Edge Of The Edge Of The Edge
AT THE EDGE OF THE EDGE OF THE EDGE
At the edge of the edge of the edge
There is another invisible edge
And this too has an edge and another edge
Edges unending
Beyond our comprehension
Waiting for us to fall down and down-
On the edge of the edge of the edge
I write on
Has the great descent already begun
And am I in the midst of it
As I pretend to go on?

Water's Edge
I went to the water's edge, forgot I couldn't swim
I went to the water's edge, all ready to jump in
I saw the water shimmer
I heard the wind howl
I saw my own reflection
I just can't see it now
You say it's the way of the world
To somehow co-exists
That eventually life unfurls
A path to happiness
So I whisper your little secret
And repeat it under my breath
I'll save it for you in my heart
In case we both forget
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I am gripped by a loneliness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I'd be released in your tenderness
I'd be released in your tenderness
I went to the water's edge and saw my life eclipse
I went to the water's edge and then felt myself slip
I dreamed that I was floating, just coast until I grew fins
I want to catch this tide back home and feel you again
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I am gripped by a loneliness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I'd be released in your tenderness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I am gripped by a loneliness
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me
I'd be released in your tenderness
I'd be released in your tenderness
I'd be released in your tenderness

Feel It
I hear the jukebox on its full playback
Her high-heeled shoes go clickity-clack
Sweet, sweet suzy dress way low
Does a dance just to let you know
* you wanna feel it, feel it
Breaks your heart if you dont leave her alone
Feel it, feel it its one quick walk out in the danger zone
** oooh, its a love that makes you burn
Oooh, well a promise that you can see
Ooh every head she can she turns
Ooh (well thats love) (when you get that love to keep)
The boys in dannys bar and grill
Swapping stories on the old cheap thrill
But you pick up the air as she walks in
Shell never talk much or try it again
* repeat
** repeat
Every night she makes you dream a little more
With a smile that opens every door
In her eyes youll see the promises
One kiss tells everything
[instsrumental]

This ones the girl thats gonna make you bleed
See her strut she moves from head to toe
What you aint got shell never know

Singles bar with the broken light
Easy touch, a lady of the night

Cross my heart and promise to be true

Your lifes been set, prearranged
Hold on tight til the morning light cause

Patrol car stopped talk for a while
But they let you go with a warning and a smile

From the edge of the city comes the sun
It makes you wanna turn your head around fills you
With desire sets both your feet on fire
How could you stand to be alone
How could you
Stay at home so...
Let me take you dancin
Let me steal your heart tonight
Let me take you dancin
All night long
Strolling through an easy feel
Through the motions that make it rock n real
You can learn to fake it
Keep on trying
And youre bound to make it
Its gonna turn up upside down
Its gonna spin you round so
Let me take you dancin

Tonight
Verse one (kandi):
Come a little bit closer and look into my eyes,
If only for a moment, boy dont be surprised.
I want you right here next to me,
So tell me we can spend some time.
So I can hold you softly,
In these gentle arms of mine.
And the moonlights gazing,ooh,
Shining on my window pane,
Beaming down on the midnight hour,
I hear the sound of rain.
Chorus:
Tonight, tonight, ooh...
Tonight, tonight, ooh...
Verse two (tamika):
So why dont you stay awhile,
I cant help it if you put me in a daze boy.
But you look so good to me,
In your satin pjs.
So lets make love by candlelight,
And listen to the quiet storm.
As I kiss you in the places,
That make your body warm.
Repeat chorus
Break:
Im holding you
(repeat x6)
Holding you tight all through the night
(repeat x2)
Looks like its gonna rain
(repeat x4)
Holding you tight all through the night

Edge Of A Broken Heart
And there I stood, just like a soldier
I was tough, until I saw her
I said hello, but she just turned away
Hey romeo, whatcha doin with my girl,
Who are you using now, well I turn and walk away (turn and walk away)
Im gonna please her, now you can believe it
Ill be there to catch her when she falls
Oooo, here I am (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im a man (on the edge of a broken heart)
Here we stand (on the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can cause you know
Im a man on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im on the outside, looking inside
Youre with him, whos on the wrong side now
Do you still think of me
Ive tried to call, but no one answers
Two silhouettes, a private dancer
Lights go dim, as the music starts to fade, away (turn and walk away)
Im the one who needs you, now you can believe it
Ill be there to catch you when you fall
Ooo you better believe Im the man (on the edge of a broken heart)
Here I am (on the edge of a broken heart)
And we stand (on the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can cause you know
Im a man on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Solo
Ooohh
And when I hold out my hands Ill be reaching for you
I give it all that Ive got, thats all I can do
When youre waiting for love
Ill be waiting for you (on the edge of a broken heart)
Only for you (on the edge of a broken heart)
Oh baby for you (on the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can, you know
Im a man on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)

This is the saddest story
What was wrong with my love?
You took my heartbeat from me
Should have just stabbed it for me
From ashes to dust, I just wanna get along with you
Dear diary
I remember like it was yesterday
It was October 30
I know longer have any need for these worldly things
I wanna go where he is
Ill follow the fire in the sky
And like that Ill be gone

You took my heartbeat from me

Dim All The Lights (Promotional 12" Single)
CHORUS:
Dim all the lights sweet darling
Cause tonight it's all the way
Turn up the old Victrola
Gonna dance the night away
Love just don't come easy
Though it seldom does
When you find the perfect love
Let it fill you up
REPEAT CHORUS
Dim all the lights sweet honey
Cause tonight it's you and me
No need to worry darling
Cause it's for eternity
Love don't come easy
This you know I understand
I want to be your woman
If you'll be my man
Let yourself go freely and I'll
Show you things that you've dreamed of
Don't think that your dreaming
We've found the perfect love
And I'm like a cup come fill me up
REPEAT CHORUS
Do what you want
You can use me all up
Take me bottom to top
Don't leave even one drop
No,no,no do it tonight
You know the moment's so right
Turn my brown body white
Come on dim all the lights
