Spanish Harlem

There is a rose in spanish harlem
A rose that grows in spanish harlem
Its never seen the sun
It only comes up when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are leaving
Well, it grows right in the street
Up between the concrete
But soft and sweet, and (breathing? ? )
There is a rose in spanish harlem
A rose that grows in spanish harlem
Oh, with eyes as black as coal
That reach down in my soul
And start a fire I cant control
I beg your pardon
Well, I want to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In my garden
There is a rose in spanish harlem
There is a rose in spanish harlem

Devils & Dust

I parked my car on Parsons Lane
Walked a mile to my father's front gate
He sat on the porch out of the rain
It's always too early but never too late
Talked until the stars fell asleep
Little time when the years run fast
Lots of creases in my shirt to keep
Lots of streets full of devils and dust
Called it quits around mid mornin'
Went inside to get somethin' to eat
Pa's asleep on the porch and snorin'
Dreamin' about the sons he wanted to meet
Slump back in my chair and watch the cars roll by
Endless roads and neigbourhoods
Engines in need of oil and fixin'
Devils and dust under the hood

Shes Leaving

Shes leaving, shes leaving
Everybody knows
Shes leaving, shes leaving
And I feel like such a fool
She left me standing here just two feet tall
I just dont know how she could do it
In front of our friends and all
She had better things to do and bigger plans
I thought we could make it with just us two
But I guess we cant
cause she cant
And Im only one man
But I love her
Its winter
Suddenly its winter
And I feel so cold inside
Its different
It couldve been so different
If only she didnt feel that need to lie
Whats the matter girl

Car Wash

Well my name is catherine lefevre
I work at the astrowash on sunset and vine
I drop my kids at school in the morning
And I pick them up at marys just fore suppertime
Chorus:
Well I work down at the car wash
For a dollar and a dime
And mister, I hate my boss
Its at the car wash Im doing my time
Pick up my water bottle and my towel, sir
And I take em one by one
From mercedes to vws
I do em all and I dont favor none
(chorus)
Well someday Ill sing in a night club
Ill get a million-dollar break
A handsome man will come here with a contract in his hand
And say catherine, this has all been some mistake
(chorus)

Streets Of Fire

When the nights quiet and you dont care anymore,
And your eyes are tired and theres someone at your door
And you realize you wanna let go
And the weak lies and the cold walls you embrace
Eat at your insides and leave you face to face with
Streets of fire
Im wandering, a loser down these tracks
Im dying, but girl I cant go back
cause in the darkness I hear somebody call my name
And when you realize how they tricked you this time
And its all lies but Im strung out on the wire
In these streets of fire
I live now, only with strangers
I talk to only strangers
I walk with angels that have no place
Streets of fire

You Mean So Much To Me Baby

Well, she comes to me like a childhood soul
Or an old time friend I aint seen so long
When she sings to me, its like a loving song
She can be so sweet, she dont do me no wrong
You mean so much to me, baby
You know you drive me crazy
You mean so much to me, baby
I want you for my girl
Well, sometimes shes like a baby playing with a toy,
Then shes so much woman she makes me feel like a little boy
And when she comes to me, and shes all alone,
And she cries: oh daddy, oh daddy make me strong!
Thats when she means so much to me baby,
You know you drive me crazy
You mean so much to me, baby
I want you for my girl

Let's Go Tonight

Hey little girl with the red dress on
There's a party tonight down in ...
Yeah and i'm goin' if you need a ride
Come on, come on, let's go tonight
Well baby the dreamers ....
They ride down the streets with death in their eyes
And the new world's defeat, baby, it eats your eyes
Come on, come on, let's go tonight
I said come on, come on, let's go tonight
Well a man ...
And he lost his wife
He walks down the streets babe, with death in his eyes
Well everybody wants heaven
But nobody wants to die
Come on, come on, let's go tonight
Baby, come on, come on, let's go tonight
I said come on, come on, let's go tonight

Held Up Without A Gun

I was out driving, just taking it slow
Looked at my tank it was reading low
Pulled in an exxon station out on highway one
Look out!
Help up without a gun
Help up without a gun
Help up without a gun
(some man) drew eight hundred dollars (doing off a
Squeeze)
Aint got nowhere to go and nothing to eat
(driving up so blow us) better sign here son
Watch out!
Help up without a gun
Help up without a gun
Now its a sin and it oughta be a crime
You know it happens buddy all the time
If I dont break the limit tryin to have a little fun
Help up without a gun
Help up without a gun
Help up without a gun

Leah

I wanna build me a house, on higher ground
I wanna find me a world, where love's the only sound
High above this road, filled with shadow and doubt
I want to shoulder my load, and figure it all out
With Leah
I walk this road, with a hammer and a fiery lantern
With this hand I've built, and with this I've burned
I wanna live in the same house, beneath the same roof
Sleep in the same bed, search for the same proof
As Leah
I got somethin' in my heart, I been waitin' to give
I got a life I wanna start, one I been waitin' to live
No more waitin', tonight I feel the light I say the prayer
I open the door, I climb the stairs...

Factory

Early in the morning factory whistle blows,
Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes,
Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light,
Its the working, the working, just the working life.
Through the mansions of fear, through the mansions of pain,
I see my daddy walking through them factory gates in the rain,
Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life,
The working, the working, just the working life.
End of the day, factory whistle cries,
Men walk through these gates with death in their eyes.
And you just better believe, boy, somebodys gonna get hurt tonight,
Its the working, the working, just the working life.
