Group
They had been living long together,
And they had rather started to repeat themselves:
He was she,
And she was he.
She was she,
And he was she too.
Sometimes she either was, or she was not,
That's when he was one she, two shes, and many shes.
Such used to be life, more or less.
And above all, early each morning,
Till they would get at last to demarcate
Who was each one,
Where they did start and end
Why in this way and not the other one,
A lot of time was wasted,
As carried by a river time was flowing.
They even tried to kiss sometimes,
But suddenly they realized
That both of them were she.
Much easier to duplicate.
But scared by such discovery,
Both would start yawning
A yawn of softened wool,
Which could be even knitted, the way it follows:
One she yawned very attentively,
Meanwhile, the other she was due to hold the ball.

Shes Up, Shes Down
Its easier to fall
When theres someone there to break it
Its easy to abuse
When theres someone there to take it
Its easier to smile
When you know that you can fake it
Confronted all the while with everything that youve forsaken
And the hardest thing to do
Is letting go of you
Three weeks and seven days...
Shes up, shes down, Im all around - on my way down
Shes up, shes down, Im on my way out
Shes up, shes down, Im on the ground
Im all around
On my way out
Shes up, shes down, Im all around
Around, around
Its easier to cry
When theres someone there to hold you
Who hasnt had a chance to know
The bitter and the cold you
Its easier to lie
When theres no one there to scold you
Systematically discarding everyone who knows you
And the hardest thing to do
Is letting go of you
Three weeks and seven days...
Shes up, shes down, Im all around - on my way down
Shes up, shes down, Im on my way out
Shes up, shes down Im on the ground
Im all around
On my way out
Shes up, shes down, Im all around
Around - around

Is There Life Out There
(susan longacre, rick giles)
She married when she was twenty
She thought she was ready
Now shes not so sure
She thought shed done some living
But now shes just wonderin
What shes living for
Now shes feeling that theres something more
Chorus:
Is there life out there
So much she hasnt done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
Shes done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesnt want to leave
Shes just wonderin
Is there life out there
Shes always lived for tomorrow
Shes never learned how
To live for today
Shes dyin to try something foolish
Do something crazy
Or just get away
Something for herself for a change
Repeat chorus
Theres a place in the sun that shes never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
She looks out the window and wonders again
Repeat chorus twice

Queen Of The Masquerade Ball
She lays her cards out on the table
She always gets what shes going for--and a whole lot more
Got the movers and the shakers
Quaking inside their mohair shoes
After all theres nothing to lose
(chorus)
Cracking that whip
Making her own decisions
Taking no lip
Living with no conditions
Theres only one thing that shes missing
She never tells anybody--shes missing it more and more each night
And though she cries when shes alone
By the morning shes ready to go
Shes got the light
Chorus
Everythings fine
Just as long as they do it her way
Living with style
Shes got it all
Hail to the queen of the masquerade ball
And though she cries when shes alone
By the morning shes ready to go
Shes got the light
Chorus
Everythings fine
Just as long as they do it her way
Living with style
Shes got it all
Hail to the queen of the masquerade ball

When Shes Gone
She has a light and a faith that wont die.
She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive.
She has a pretty young daughter back home
Wholl soon start to cry when shes gone.
When shes gone. when shes gone. when shes gone.
Now she spends her days with a mission to live.
She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive.
And she has a man with two arms open wide who will take her in when shes gone.
When shes gone. shes gone. when shes gone.
She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps.
(smiles when she sleeps)
And dreams of the days when well all finally meet.
She often says that she lives in a world well never know.
We hope we never know.
We sit together and talk about our faith.
We play a game where well sing all our troubles away.
Though shes glad to be with me,
She knows darm well that her next life awaits when shes gone.
Oh, when shes gone.
When shes gone.
When shes gone, shes gone. shes gone.
Shes gone away. shes gone away.
Shes gone. shes gone. when shes gone.
Oh, no. (when shes gone)
Oh, shes gone.
I know shes gone. (when shes gone)

Out Of Sync
Shes out of sync
And everyone around her
Knows that something is wrong
Shes out of sync
Shes got all the symptoms
Of a girl who skipped a beat
Shes out of sync
A piece of ancient history
Shes a walking mirage
Shes out of sync
She entered through the exit
And never stopped to think
Shes out of sync shes a half step behind
Shes out of luck her body split from her mind
Shes out of orbit shell never connect
Shell run out of time before she accepts shes out of sync
Shes out of sync ---- (sync)
Shes out of sync ---- (sync)
Shes out of sync
And everybody senses
Theres a distance to keep
Shes out of sync
And totally committed
To living in a dark age
Shes out of sync
Shes constantly undoing
Whats already been done
Shes out of sync
Trapped in a silent movie
And shes on the brink
Shes out of focus
Shes a warp in time
Shes discontinued
A break in the line

Shes Tight
Words and music by rick nielsen
When Im down I make a call.
Got the number written on the wall.
First its busy then I try again.
Oh, whos she talking to, could it be him?
I got the number and it starts to ring.
I get excited and I start to dream.
I start to fantasize of memory lane.
Then she answers and she says right way.
She says Im home on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.
(shes tight.) shes ahead of her time.
(shes tight.) shes one of a kind.
(shes tight.) shes a talented girl.
(shes tight.) shes got her head down tight.
I have something got to say to you.
Amnesia and my train of thought.
On the tip, tip of my tongue.
I had a vision when I was young.
You floated in, we floated up.
Through the window and down the hall.
I had a smoke and went upstairs.
Turned the door and opened the key. she spoke...
Im on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.
(shes tight.) shes ahead of her time.
(shes tight.) shes one of a kind.
(shes tight.) shes a talented girl.
(shes tight.) shes got her head down tight.
(shes tight.) shes giving me the go.
(shes tight.) shes giving me the high sign.
(shes tight.) well turn off the lights.
(shes tight.) pull down the shades.
(shes nice, shes tight.) turn on the camra.
(shes nice, shes tight.) and getting ready for action.
Turn off the radio.
Turn on the video.

She Hasnt Got Time For You
Written by ricky, kim & marty wilde
I heard youre out on your own
Guess its strange now youre living without love
Youd think all those years
Would mean something
But its over shes had enough
Dont you know its always hard at the start . . .
To change
When you look round and someones broken your heart
Afraid to fall in love
She hasnt got time for you
But dont be afraid to fall in love
I think you knew from the start
She would break up your heart
She hasnt got time for you
But honey dont be afraid to fall
Just take a look in my eyes
Come and give it a try
So now shes out on her own
Talking cheap and laughing about your love
The whispers you hear should tell you something
Cos its over and shes playing rough
Could have told you such a long time ago
You wouldnt listen cos you dont want to know
That she was bad from the start
And now shes breaking your heart

Heaven Help This Lonely Man
Not too long ago when she was mine
I thought we would be together til the end of time
Thats the way it goes when youre in love
Since shes gone theres no one else Im thinking of
(chorus)
I need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely man
There will never be anyone else
Never be another one to take her place
Might as well give up, I cant go on
Never find another one to fill this empty space
Chorus
When she came to me she opened my eyes
Suddenly life was worth living
Now its over for me I realize
Nothings the same since shes gone
And I cant go on

Its My Time
Red sun settin on the road behind her
A hundred miles out of her hometown
Drops a quarter in a beat up pay phone
Listens to it rattle on down
Voice as cold as the phone shes holding
The connects way too clear
Hes yelling wheres my dinner
Shes too far gone to care
She says listen here
Theres a time to stand and the time is now or never
A time to fly, time to let go forever
A time to grow, and a time to discover
Life is precious, every second
Youve wasted mine and its my time
She puts a few more miles between them
He pours a distance of his own
Starts talking to the bottle
Its all that left now shes gone
He rages on till the national anthem
Comes on his tv
Then he looks straight at the bottle
And says you did this to me
And then he screams
Theres a time to stand and the time is now or never
A time to fly, time to let go forever
A time to grow, and a time to discover
Life is precious, every second
Youve wasted mine and its my time
Its my time, its my time, its my time
And the time is what you make it
Its my time, its my time, its my time
Theres a time to stand and the time is now or never
A time to fly, time to let go forever
A time to grow, and a time to discover
Life is precious, every second
Youve wasted mine and its my time

Shes The One
No use in pretending, its not been and gone
Theres no defending, this feelings all too strong
Every time and every place, I see magic in your eyes
I wanna see you feel you hold you tight
Till hell ices over Ill be waiting tonight
Oh, shes the one
I was stripped right down now yeah
She had me reeling
Oh baby, shes the one
And nothing feels better
And I know now shes the only one
Dealing with emotions we can uncreate
Being held under, oh how you infatuate
Every step and every move I see it in your eyes
I wanna see you feel you hold you tight
Till hell ices over Ill be waiting tonight
Oh, baby, shes the one

Oh, she left me reeling

Popular Girl
When she walks in the room, every eye in the place
Turns to follow her every move
Shes arrived on the scene in her diamonds and jeans
World class -- shes got nothing to prove
It takes a long time to know her, whe gives it up a little at a time
*shes gettin what she wants
Shes a popular girl
Settin those hearts on fire
Everybody wants to be
Part of her world
Shes a popular girl
Such a popular girl*
She walks down the street, knocks em dead on their feet
With a casual nonchalance
When shes breaking your heart, shes the state of the art
With license to take what she wants
It takes a hard man to hold her, she likes to get a little out of line
( * repeat)
She waits by the window, the world is her stage
Each smile is her mirror in the passing parade, passing parade
And in the end, all shell be is your friend
Though passions your lone desire, shes the one you cant touch,
You want her so much, youre burnin, your hearts on fire
It takes a hard man to hold her, the challenge is forever on my mind

Without Me Around
You said she asked if you knew where she could get
Some old boxes
Cause she was going to pack up everything she owned
Where the closest u-haul place is
And what the cost was
This time tomorrow shell be gone
She says she knows of a place to sell her ring
For a good price
That and what she saved will get her by
If she can find a job in that little town
That shes headed to
To start over with her life
Chorus:
Without me around
Taking up her time and tying her down
Without me in the way
Shell be free to enjoy the freedom
You say shes found without me around
Said she didnt know what she was getting into
When we got married
But she knows damn well what shes getting out of
Said shes had enough of a man whos never there
When she needs him
Shell be better off in the long run

Not So Usual
This is the most unusual story, of a most unusual girl
she's the paint in my picture, of a most unusual world
she can crawl out the frame while shes hanging on the wall
and shes calling my name
shes not so usual, wo
shes most unusual
shes not so usual
shes so unusual
shes mostly a ghost, the way she watches over me
she complains when I smoke, but then you do the same to me
shes controlling my brain activity, knowing when i go to sleep
she'll catch you when I'm falling hard
shes so unusual
shes not so usual
shes not so usual
shes so unusual
shes not so hooked on the drugs like I thought that she was
and never sucking on the lime, and hardly sipping on the wine
and dispite of her bipolar rollercoastering
I think I can trust, she'll keep me singing differently
and its fine cause shes with me now, most all of the time
trying to saving my life, thinking none of her own
and always kissing me goodnight when i just need to be alone
shes so sweet, so discrete, shes exactly what I need
not even make believe
shes not so usual
so unusual
shes not so usual
so unusual
not so usual, and not to practical either
but shes not so mystical, but not to magical either
but shes not so outta control, and not so used to the flow
shes not so usual
nah, shes a natural
ohhh, shes not so usual
shes most unusual
shes so unusual
shes so unusual
shes gonna use me ohhh
shes not so u...

Theres gonna be a celebration like youve never seen.
Just fit for a queen.
Shes got her mom and daddys blessing.
Shes got a long white wedding dress and his wedding ring.
Oh what can I bring.
What do you give the girl who has everything.
Shes got the man who used to hold me.
Shes got the man who told me I was his everything.
Shes got the man who used to love me,
Who placed no one above me.
How he made my heart sing.
Oh what can I bring.
What do you give
The girl who has everything.
Shell hear his promise of forever.
Shell hear him say what I could never get him to say.
Oh hell say it today.
Shell hold his hand and throw the flowers.
Drink champagne till the morning hours.
The queen has her king, and the world on a string.

Dont Cross The River
Theres a little girl
Out lying on her own
Shes got a broken heart
Shes not the kind
You take down for long
She knows and
Plays it smart
And if shes coming
Shes shown no more
Shes heard no whistle
Blowing from the door
She feels like leaving and
She dont know why
Without no bridges
Shes trapped
So I sigh
[chorus:]
Dont cross the river
If you cant swim the tide
Dont try denying
Living on the other side
All your life you were
On your own
If you want
You can ride my train
Soon forget the reason
That youre leaving
Lose yourself and
Then sometimes
Maybe even save yourself
Some grieving

Thrills In The Night
Early morning, as she wakes from her sleep
9 to 5 is the day that shell keep
Ties her hair up and her blouse buttoned tight
Gets her work done as she waits for the night...
All the people, tell me what would they say
If they knew her, how she hides it away
Locked inside, theres the start of a flame
And the feelings that she never will tame
Ooh as shes walking around like a mystery
Ooh theres a woman that nobody sees livin inside
Chorus:
Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her
In the evening when she takes to the street
She goes hunting with a body in heat
And desires shes kept hidden inside make her tingle
And she knows why she lies
Ooh as shes walking around like a mystery
Ooh theres a woman that nobody sees living inside
Chorus repeats 2x
See the stranger that shes pushing away
As she dresses for the start of a day
And desires shes kept hidden inside make her tingle
Yeah she knows why she lies

No Mans Land
(john scott sherrill/steve seskin)
That house on the hill is long gone
Now shes living in a trailer with an astroturf lawn
Got three little kids and no one to help
Trying to be momma and daddy all by herself
Its hard to hold down the fort when youre holdin down a job
Shed rob peter to pay paul but hes already been robbed
She gets the food on the table and the clothes off the lines
Shed break down and cry but she doesnt have time
She got to be strong, life goes on
Though its nothin like she had planned
Shes gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no mans land
Every now and then late at night
She thinks of how it would feel to hold someone tight
And theres a guy down at work he keeps callin her up
But she aint ready for none of that stuff
Shes still sifting through the ashes of a love thats been and gone
Looking for a clue, trying to find out what went wrong
It aint always easy, but she knows shes gotta try
Every time she looks into her babies eyes
She got to be strong, life goes on
Though its nothin like she had planned
Shes gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no mans land
She got to be strong, life goes on
Though its nothin like she had planned
Shes gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no mans land
