Sailing
Maybe tomorrow with the wind on my side
I will sail across the ocean
To the island of white, the sea is pink
Only one star in sight
Thats where Ill be going
Because Im searching for the light
There goes my mind again
It just cant stop its wondering around
Cause it wants to know everything that is going on
Sailing across the ocean
Sailing across the sea of time
Could be Id find promotion
Maybe I can be what my teacher was to me
He was a man giving the truth to me
Let me see for myself whats going on
Maybe soon I will see the great horizon
The velvet sails of my ship in the night
Give away the colors of the faces delight
Land ho was the cry of the day
As I turned to face the captain

Scandalous Life
Im the king of the city of broken hearts
Ill let you in, but nobodys gotten out alive yet
No saint, no sinner, no sinner, no saint
But theyve all come looking for some satisfaction
Pain and pleasure, pleasure and pain
No I cant give you what you want
But I can give you what you need baby
Ill be your lover but Im not your friend
Cause when your heart it breaks
Wont be round long enough to pick it up
Yeah baby
Ive lived a scandalous life
Dont try to change it and dont mistake it
Ive lived a scandalous life
And in the end Ill be the one to take your heart and break it
Sure enough, youve got men with more money and grace
Ill make love til the sweats running down my face
Pain and pleasure, pleasure and pain
Yeah youve got it if your looking for some action
Ill take you to heaven

Old Gangsters Never Die
Who did you think you were?
Who did you think you were fooling?
Youve been seeing too many movies
Where the bad guys were the heroes
Everything started fine
And it looked like the seeds were sown
till you took up an evil stance and you came on
Just like al capone
I had to leave or Id have gone insane
Now I hear they say youve changed but
Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
Dont you ever wonder why
You had me when I was green
It made me feel so dependent
It satisfied your paranoia to think I really needed you
Who did you think I was
Did you think that Id let it ride
Put down that violin case,
I know just what youre trying to hide

Is Everybody Happy?
If I see one more smiling face in a magazine
If I see one more pretty girl on my tv screen
Everybodys pretending, futures burning real bright
All good children go to heaven, gods still on our side
Hes gonna make it up to you, hes gonna make it up to you
Baby in this life
So much pain in the faces that we wear behind the smiles
We keep too much inside, way too much inside
Baby stand up and be the one to testify
Is everybody happy? no!
Is everybody happy? no!
Is everybody happy? I dont think so
If I hear one more lover promise me everything
If I hear one more lonesome ol cowboy start to sing
Everybodys elected to carry the party song
You cant be too protected baby, you cant be too strong
Never letem get to you, never letem get to you
Baby in this life
We live in a quiet kind of desperation here
We lock it up inside, lock it up inside

Big Beautiful Friday Night
Another day passes like a ghost
And youre wishing you were any place but here
From your prison cell of flesh and bone
You send a prayer on its suicide last flight
Into the air, into the rain
And it sends you nothing back again
Hey maria its a big beautiful friday night
Hey maria, hey na na, hey na na na yeah
Day to day and coast to coast
Everything seems anything but clear
Inside your skin of steel and stone
Your need for somebody wakes you late night
But theres something there you cant explain
As you come in bed alone again
Hey maria, its a big beautiful friday night
Hey maria - hey na na, hey na na na yeah
Hey maria, why dont we drink til we just dont care tonight
Hey maria - hey na na, hey na na na yeah
Life is a perfect song with a fractured beat
Yeah its a one way sign on a dead end street

Believe In Me
Theyll be a time when everyone is left alone,
And Ill have mine
There is no doubt when everyone has worn me out and gone
When everybodys had their fill, shell be waiting,
Shes waiting still
And though she doesnt know I know,
I know she wouldnt mind
Cause having someone believe in me, is all I need to know
And standing all alone, is not the way I want to go
And if I get to be a star, or maybe no where near that far
I know that either way it doesnt matter much to her
And if Im on my dying bed and suddenly my life is bled away from me,
I know shell shed a tear because she cares
Cause having someone believe in me, is all I need to know
And standing all alone, is not the way I want to go
And if I get to be a star, or maybe no where near that far
I know that either way it doesnt matter much to her
And if Im on my dying bed and suddenly my life is bled away from me,
I know shell shed a tear because she cares
Cause having someone believe in me, is all I need to know

Love Is Alright Tonite
I'm picking up my baby tonight
Though her daddy's makin' troubles it'll be alright
I'm working hard, I don't know why
I'm like a working class dog and I just get by
Chorus:
Tonite I'm crawling out from in it, and though we're living on a brink
Second by second by minute by minute
Love is alright tonite, we're gonna be alright
Love is alright, love is alright tonite
Everyone's saying the sky's gonna fall
Don't know where it's gonna stop if it stops at all
I know the world's going crazy alright
I hope it holds together for one more night
chorus
Don't worry daddy, I'll have her home at a respectable hour
Go to sleep, daddy, you won't think about tonight
With the night comes the feeling that I've got this incredible power
Gonna love her, daddy, she'll be feeling it tonite, alright
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
Love is alright tonite and baby, we're gonna be alright

Shock To My System
So there I stood, square on my side of the great divide
A message came across a void
And for the first time in my life
Im awake, Im alive
I thought I was immune to this
til I felt the static charges in the air
I touch you, youre a live wire
Youre the raw fire burning in my heart
And it took me by surprise, thats no lie
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system
A spark, a real shock
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system
You start I cant stop
You taught me how to listen, shock to my system
My soul, my skin, you plug me in
And all of my pain is gone just like it never was
For the first time in my life I know what I feel
Now every time we touch Im caught off my guard
Thats no lie
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system,

Beethoven Street
Baby used to be a rock n roller
In the night time
She used to use all of my money
To have a good time
I gave her plenty of good times
She gave me plenty of heartaches
She was planning a getaway
Oh take me
To beethoven street
Thats where I want to be
Yeah take me
To beethoven street
Thats where I want to be
Babys given up rock n roll
And I can hardly keep control
Take me to beethoven street
Mr. I want to be there
Who cut the power on you
I just dont know
Who pulled the switch her heartbeat

The Great Lost Art Of Conversation
I must be blind
I cant see why
We cant work this out
It gets so tangled
When we try to talk and sort it out
Theres people dying for what they believe
And I cant even choose should I stay or leave
And were supposed to be in love
And the great lost art of conversation
Is lost on this man tonight
And the late crossed heart of good intention
Is forgotten in the heat of the fight
We count the scars to see who won
You wear them on your heart
It feels so strange you feel so numb
I thought Id fall apart
Ill take my leave
You take your lace
Lets leave it now with some semblance of grace
No point in trying to talk anymore
