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

Silver Bird

This morning as I walked, I gazed out across my land
Lying there all still lying there upon the sand
A big silver bird had planted itself into the ground
And being the kind of person who isnt very easily alarmed
Decided to take a walk to see just what I could find
Walked around the walls, tapping to find me a door
Looking for a windows to see if I could find out more
Big silver bird let me inside your plane
Want to fly so high fly me high, away
All of a sudden the door slid back and someone was there
A strange kind of being spoke to me in my tongue
Step inside, well take you away in our plane
Well fly you so high, youll never have the chance to complain
To leave this earth, never even (? ? ? ) ...
Stepping inside I fixed myself into a seat
Holding on, lord, I heard them engines start to beat
Big silver bird let me inside your plane
Want to fly so high, fly me high away

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
* and i 'm looking for a wild rose
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
** and the wild, the willing and the innocent
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

Sympathy

So you've seen the sunrise on the Nile
solved the mystery of the mona lisa's smile
you proclaim your innocence
what you saying
makes no sense to me at all
So you help the needy and the sick
heard confessions of a lunatic
my eyes are growing dim
ghost shadows closing in
around me now
and there ain't no sympathy at all
just a sea of angry faces
staring at me
there ain't no sympathy at all
I gotta find someone
to make me happy
so you've scattered roses at Versailles
wiped a teardrop from an old man's eye
seeing you in such distress
I'm afraid I must confess

Diesel In The Dust

My daddy told me boy, you only shoot to kill
Im livin just for that thrill
Nobody hurts me cos the paybacks twice as bad
In this town you dont make a man mad
* ted mckinleys dying
At the wheel of his truck
The engine running till it seized up
And nobody heard a thing
Not a shout or gun shot ring
Just a smell of diesel in the dust
(diesel in the dust)
Mckinley wouldnt back down from any man alive
But you need to if youre to survive
The folks in town wanna settle their score
By using their own kinda law
* repeat
[instrumental]
No one had seen a thing when the sheriffs car pulled in
Just the silence you get from kin to kin
The preacher bowed his head, glad that he was dead

Stopped By A Bullet Of Love

Love and the stranger
So very far from home
A kid was playing little wing
I sat drinking on my own
Love and danger
Oh, they walk hand in hand
Said she was an actress
Thought I was in a band
Stopped by a bullet
Shes a pinball rolling round my head
She turned on a dime
Left me for dead
I found love for the very first time
Hey arizona, I can feel your heat
And I never, loved a tattoo
The way that I love you
Hey arizona, in the coolest, desert wind
Willies singing whiskey river
I let love walk in

Chains Chains

Jack of diamonds/ is a gambling man/ [together were men]
He played the tables /whenever he can/[while he can]
Take some advice boy stay clean stay out of his way
Little jeannie is a dancing queen
/shes been/ [she bounce n] shaking it since she was sixteen
Skips across the tables acting out her passion play
It wasnt for money, its only a chance
You take a gamble, got shot [lets cut] for romance
Chains, chains pulling you down
Chain of love that turns your world around
Chains chains pulling you down
Chain of love that turns your world around
Without a warning /jeannie took off/ [she took off] one night
Jack got so mean boy, he just had to fight
He died on the floor someone else evens the score
Back on the tables/ jeannies romance had died/ [shes roaming tonight]
That one look of love that told her a lie
And for her theres no waves crashing on seashores
* repeat
[instrumental]

Back Door Man

Im every man here in disguise
Lie cheat and give you a spoonful of lies
Im a high toned mother with an axe to grind
Come a little closer honey, see what you find
Your worst nightmares all rolled in one
Ill find you sure as the rising sun
Dont make a noise its understood
cos this aint no story like red riding hood
Im your back door man, Im your back door man oh yeah
Im your back door man, come on babe, and Ill take you where I can
Systematically I choose at will
But with you theres an obscene thrill
Its funny now how you cant say no
Its the smell of fear that you love so
Im your back door man, Im your back door man, oh yeah,
Im your back door man baby, just take it where you can
This first kiss has a touch of ice
Now hows that feel, it aint so nice
Blackhearted mamma Ive something new
Oh lord look what Ive turned into

Aint Life Sweet

Kick out the cat / turn back the clock
Aint life sweet baby look what I got
They took the tv honey
Oh babe now they took the car
I skipped the bills yeah
And Ive been drinking at the bar
Aint life a treat, it aint so sweet
When youre down on down / down on down
The banks foreclosing
And theres a foot inside my door
The telephones not ringing
And I cant take it anymore
Im off the track / my last six pack
And Im down on down / going down
Aint life a treat it aint so sweet
When youre going down / down on down
Hit me shorty
[instrumental]
My God the kids are screaming
And the help she aint been paid
