We Run
We run
Moving up, look ahead
Can't see the end
Dead ahead, all is set
No way we'll bend
Pre-Chorus:
It's one for all we stand or fall
'Till our time has come
It's all for one we're on the run
It's only just begun
Chorus:
We run
'Till the last fight is said and done
We run
Through the long night of what's to come
Standing up, take a breath
Have a look around
No clues, no signs
We won't be found
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Oh we're feeling stronger
Nothing stands in our way

Same Ol' Situation
She's got an alligator bag
Top hat to match
Dressed in black on black
She's got a philipino girlie
She claims is her friend
I tell you boys, you just gotta laugh
Now i used to call her cindy
She changed her name to "sin"
I guess that's the name of her game
I really used to love her
Then, the kitty she discovered
It's got to be a sexual thing
(pre-chorus)
All around the world
Girls will be girls
(chorus)
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
I say no, no, no
No, no, no
Introduced me to her lover
In a cellophane dress
Then they bid me a sweet farewell
Last time i saw them
They were kissing so softly
To the sound of wedding bells
Well,

The Farmer's Lament
'The backbone of the country and the salt of all the earth'
That was how they styled us when the farmer had his worth.
But what's his valuation now, when times are pretty thin?
Chorus:
Two bob a dozen, an' the garments given in.
Solo:
We made the country's money an' we paid the country's way,
We raised the wealth for cities from the farm thro' many a day;
But what's the price of farmers now the profits disappeared?
Chorus:
Two bob a dozen, an' a bonus on the beard.
Solo:
They'll pay to patch machinery or cure old Dobbin's sprain;
But they cannot spare a stiver when the farmer gets a pain;
For what's the use o' mendin' him when all he's valued at
Chorus:
Is two bob a dozen, if he's nice an' prime an' fat.
Solo:
But the farmer ain't repinin', tho' his price is down an' out.
There's a good time comin' soon without the smallest doubt;
But, till the world wins sanity, he's got to be content
Chorus:
With two bob a dozen, cash with order ten per cent.

Red Hot
Fight for the black shark
See what evil brings
Cant you see were out for blood
Love from a shotgun
License to kill
Cant you see were out for blood
(pre-chorus)
The kids scream in fright, through the night
Loving every bit with delight
And we blow out our minds with your truth
And together we stand for the youth
(chorus)
Red hot, red hot
To the top, we are
Red hot
Shout at the devil
Weve laughed at your wars
Cant you see were out for blood
Run with the pack, now
Always ask for more
Cant you see were out for blood

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes
Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

Midnite Cruiser
Felonius my old friend
Step on in and let me shake your hand
So glad that you're here again
For one more time
Let your madness run with mine
Streets still unseen we'll find somehow
No time is better than now
[Chorus:]
Tell me where are driving
Midnite cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentleman loser
Drive me to Harlen
Or somewhere the same
[Solo]
The world that we used to know
People tell me it don't turn no more
The places we used to go
Familiar faces that aint smilin'
Like before
The time of our time has come and gone
I fear we've been waitin' too long

Where Are You Going
I dont know where Im going
But I do know where Ive been
I wonder if Im growing
Forever chasing wind
Ive got to keep on moving
Destination still unknown
The more I keep on looking
The more I feel so alone
Chorus:
I never ask you where youre going, so dont ask me
Where are you going?
Not everybody knows where theyre supposed to be
Where are you going?
So if youll please point me in the right vicinity
Where are you going?
I never ask you where youre going, so dont ask me
Im not so good so far
Fell off the beaten track
cause sometimes we go forward
Must take two steps back

The Monster Inside Me
vs.1 When I walk down through Alligator Alley,
I really don't know what to do with the
Big, gigantic dragons that blow fire out their mouth,
And everyday, it seems as if they're aimin' it at me.
(chorus)
That's when the monster inside of me comes out,
That's when I jump right back and make 'em scream and shout.
All the wild animals come out to join in,
Man, you gotta believe within
The monster inside me!
vs.2 When I'm with all the wicked creatures in this world,
Don't wanna p-s me off or mess with me.
The huge and freaky madness of them withhold,
And every night, it seems as if they never leave me be.
(chorus)
(solo)
Bridge: Now, when the time comes,
You can tag along.
But for the time being, it's too dangerous,
I gotta go solo!
(chorus) x 2
Yeah, there's a monster
Inside me! !

Livin' In The Now
Got no time to think about good intentions
Got no time to think about indiscretions
Don't wanna think about past reflections
Don't wanna think about tomorrow
Chorus
Cuz I'm liv'in in the now, yeah
Hold tight it'll be alright
Liv'in in the now
Hold tight it'll be alright
A little unsure today
Lock you in a cage
Unkind thing to say
Flies into a rage
Chorus (2)
Everyday is shorter than the day before
saving for a rainy day is just a metaphor

It's so easy to offend
When venom is your friend
Wounds can never mend
And you don't try

Next Time Around
Well I'm dreaming 'bout a Cadillac
And a girl that I used to have
But I know that I could never go back
To the day we took a photograph
That I'm holdin' in my hand
I can't believe I messed it up so bad
If I get another chance
I'd never waste it yeah
I swear I'll be a better man
[CHORUS:]
And I'll tell you right now
We'll make it up next time around
Yeah!
I'll pick you up and never put you down
Next time around
Yeah!
I'll lift you up and never let you down
Now I'm thinkin' bout the good times
All the friends that I used to know
And they always said they'd have my back
But now I'm flyin' solo
All alone again I stand

Please, tell me, oh,
Please tell me

Yet, you are not stopping with me.
You keep at it, and you'll see..

18 I shut my eyes to hold my breath,
19 Susana, dont you cry.

21 I've come from Alabama wid mi ban jo on my knee.
22 [Solo] I had a dream de odder night,
23 When ebery ting was still;
24 I thought I saw Susana,
25 A coming down de hill.
26 The buckwheat cake war in her mouth,
27 The tear was in her eye,
28 Says I, im coming from de South,
29 Susana, dont you cry.

[song]See Me through
[Verse One]
Am I just invisible?
Trapped silently suffering, drowning with this pain,
you swore I was The One and Only,
Why then am I so lonely sitting here?
day by day time just flies me past
left wondering why we didn't last
[Chorus]
Will someone,
see me through?
offer me a hand, giving me back to the sun,
mending my heart,
will someone see me through?
[Verse Two]
I want to leave - but can't say goodbye,
feeling cold and alone,
you said you'ld always stay be my side,
Left with this emptyness that won't let me be
Oh why won't you caome back to me?
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
Memories,
we could of had
just slip away,
leaving me alone in the dark
why so badly,
did you break heart?
All you lies -
My only comfort

[Middle 8]
You swore I was -
The One and Only,
Why then -
am I so lonely?

Ven A Mi (Come To Me)
Hoy siento que te alejas mas de mi
Y que te pierdo mas
Mi alma es fuerte cuando estoy cerca de ti
Espero que comprenderas
Cuando ves que el amor se va muriendo
Desvaneciendose en mi piel
No me dejes solo aqui con mi dolor
[Chorus:]
No temas ven a mi
Quiero calmar mi cuerpo junto a ti
Entregame tu amor
Para matar este sufrir
Las cosas han cambiado entre tu y yo
Para mal o para bien
Me consumo en el vacio de esta soledad
Y te busco mas que ayer
Cuando ves que lo suenos van muriendo
Desvaneciendose en mi piel
No me dejes Solo aqui con mi dolor

No me dejes solo aqui con mi dolor

Well there she is and I can almost touch her, oh, but I just cant speak

Saved up my money and bought some beat up wagon, ooh but now Im walking home
Dont you know -
