No Room For A Stranger
Have you ever felt like jumping out of a window
on account of your pride
Have you ever felt like you were losing your marbles
Caus someone hurt you deep inside
Well I had a girl so young and so healthy
I lived for her night and day
But all of her friends said since I wasn't wealthy
There'd be no room for a stranger today
I played the game and I spent all my money
I went out and tore up this town
If I had any guts and a little more w hiskey
I would burn that woman down
Have you ever felt like scum in the gutter
well that's how I felt that day
Have you ever felt like you were loose in the rudder
there'll be no room for a stranger today

Chasing Shadows
Some of you may know me and many of you won't
I am just a player in the band
Some of you will listen and some of you will hear
Some of you may laugh at me and some of you will cheer
'Cause all of us, we are an audience
Looking for evidence, to help it all make sense
(Chorus)
Have we left the answers far behind
Are we running from the light
And our legs are growing weaker
Chasing shadows in the night
Tell me have you noticed, the tide is rolling in
The waves are crashing harder now
The shore is wearing thin
The message in the bottle, has been lost at sea
But the word live on forever, it's meant to be
(Chorus)
(Instrumental)

Down The Road
I'm in a kind of foolish game, I try to get rich quick,
But I'm going insane,
The kind of freaks that hang out on 42nd Street
They're all pimpin' Judys and poppin' speed, well
It's a game of cat and mouse, and I think it's got my soul,
I think it's time for thinkin' 'bout a time to roll on
Down the road
Here comes Big Mike, I kinda owe him some beans,
He must be crazy, I guess that's why he's so mean,
If I tell him I'm leavin', he would sure enough split my gut,
Cause he knows I sold to a sucker, and I owe Big Mike a cut,
But I'll slip him a 20-dollar bill till I get out of town,
When I hit those white lines, I'm gonna be gone like a
Greyhound down the road

Fight Fire With Fire
There's a hole in the wall
And the light shines in
And it's telling me now to get up
It's time to begin
Oh, there's nothing to lose
'Cause it's already lost
In a runaway world of confusion
I'm not gonna take it
That's why I fight fire with fire
Oh, I'm burning inside and my heart is a-crying
Fire with fire
I don't want to lose this flaming desire
Standing alone
In a crowded room
I can feel a chill in the air
I'm shaken
I'm miles away
I want to cry out loud
I want to fight till the end
I won't let 'em take me alive

Ghosts
There's tombstone in a snowy field
Close by an old ghost town
The epitaph's been weather-blown away
There's a belltower where petitions peeled
It's been half torn down
But it must have softened every soul that came to pray
There's a schoolhouse full of broken glass
And wounded walls
The rusty swings like derelicts sleeping in the weeds
There's a picture-graduation class
Staring down deserted halls
"THE HOPE OF 44" is what it reads
It's just a s if some restless wind blew their dreams away far away
It's just as if those dreams had never been but oh-
I feel their ghosts around me now- I hear them say
They've come back home to dream those dreams again

Freaks Of Nature
Freak of nature fact or fright
Puts up with pain puts up with spite
Scarred up shoes have lost their sheen
It looks like better days they've seen
Chameleon man naive tycoon
Will eat the poor with silver spoon
He'll jest and jeer through looking glass
But nest right near the upper class
Who'll be the first one pointing at the simple man
Now I know I'm only lucky every freak of nature should know
How to run the whole freakin' show
Freak of nature'd rather be no less a man than you or me
He'd rather look the other way choose to fight another day
I take things for granted turn the tables 'round
What if I was down
To much goin' on runnin' out of time
And I don't understand it

One Man, One Heart
This is my beginning
Tomorrow holds my hand
Yesterday is dead and gone
Buried in the sand
The vision stands before me
And now there's nothing else
So close your eyes and realize
The way I see myself
One man, one heart
Standing in the flame
Can you hear my voice tonight
I'm calling out - I'm calling out your name
You've broken my defenses
And opened up my soul
The love I tried to keep inside
I cannot control
So let the wind be silent
The ocean turn to sand
And let your body dream of me
And see me as I am

Hope Once Again
The flower dies the camera never lies fire baptizes
The truth is light right or wrong is never black or white
We all wear disguises
If a picture could talk we would all look away
There'd be too many voices
Rain come on and wash away this hot city skin
Pictures and memories and hope once again
So many times I see you in my mind when I'm not trying to
I see a trellis gate and I run like a child who's late
Whose friends are waiting for him
We ll I never stopped to realize what was passing me by
But love has a texture
Catch a glimpse a reflection
Of what would should or could have been
Pictures and memories and hope once again
I wonder if we know the future is now
I wonder if we know the future is here

Windows
Windows, to the world are what we're looking through
Who knows, if what we find is true
Seeing, is believing as some people say
Knowing, is to get a better view
(Chorus)
For the windows of the world
Are never open all the way
And the voices of the past
Are not forgotten
Till you leave it all behind you
You will never see the day
'Cause your life is on the line
Tasting, of the wine of some forbidden fruit
Reaping, the sorrows that we sowReaching, to the stars will never bring us home
Teaching, what we really could not know
(Chorus)
Touching, we are moving to the things we feel
Trying, to be what we could never be
Turning, if we'd only open up our hearts
Yearning, for the things we cannot see

Belexes
Oh, I cannot tell you to make up your mind
And gather together the best of your kind
The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate
Your childhood has ended you've taken the bait
You've got the power it's there deep inside
Just look around and you'll know what you've tried
So much relies on the course that you take
The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah
Look at the heads buried deep in the sand
Hiding from evil made by their own hand
The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate
Your childhood has ended you've taken the bait
You've got the power it's there deep inside
Just look around and you'll know what you've tried
So much relies on the course that you take
The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah
