I WANNA BE THE KING
03:04
|
|||
I don’t wanna be a Polish boy no more
I don’t wanna be a nigger knocking on your door
I wanna be a dead boy
I wanna be the king
I don’t wanna be a Polish boy no more
I don’t wanna drive a Chevrolet car no more
I want a limousine driving door to door
I wanna roll away some stones
Iwanna be the king
I don’t wanna drive a Chevrolet car no more
I like being a punk
I like playing guitar
I like drinking whiskey in a dirty downtown bar
I like playing the fool
I’m gonna be star
I hate the sissy music of John Denver
I don’t wanna be a married man no more
I wanna feel the love of my Fender guitar
I wanna be a heartbreaker
I wanna be the king
I don’t wanna be a married man no more

NIGHT RIDER
02:35
|

Night Rider where you riding tonight Night Rider where you bound
Always trying to frighten like a person who’s not around Night Rider
Night Rider where’s your reign of terror Night Rider where’s it gone
Have you seen the error of your ways Have you gone and lost a son
Night Rider
Night Rider what’s happening now Night Rider you’re showing pity
Have you seen how people live Have you noticed it’s not so pretty Night Rider
Night Rider why you standing there Night Rider act your part
Are you paralyzed by the fear clearly clutching at your heart
Night Rider
Night Rider where you bound Night Rider where you riding tonight
Has your mind turned completely around Have you decided not to fight
Night Rider
BREAK
Night Rider can we go to sleep
Sleep with a peaceful mind
Night Rider knowing you’re gonna keep
Keep the world safe from your own kind
Night Rider answer me Night Rider
Hey Night Rider answer me Night Rider

CHILDREN OF SOUND
03:18
|

Children of sound gather around
Let me tell you of your life
You were born one winter morn
Children of my beautiful wife
You were raised enjoying your days
Now you’re rich not poor
You haven’t a cent
A cent to spend
But you have music as a friend
And it’s worth so much more (twice)
Orphans of the storm try to keep warm
And listen to what I say
You took flight one summer night
Yet you returned today
You should have stayed far away
Never entering my world
You will find life’s not kind
In my morbid world
Infants of snow let me know
Why you’re leaving today
Have you found life drives you down
You can’t survive this way
Answer me now answer me loud
Why are you leaving today
Do you realize you’ll only die
In this world of hate

ROCK STAR
05:51
|

I finally got what I wanted
Everybody hears my songs
Here I am on the top of the world
How come I’m falling down
Everybody seeds my face
Everybody hears my voice
Every child plays with me
I don’t like being a toy
One of you showed me the right way
One of you drove me home
One of you gave me pure love
One of you let me down
I never knew the reasons I needed anyone
But since I’ve climbed all the hills I’ve learned everything
I never understood the reasons why I cried
But since I’ve opened all the doors I’ve learned everything
One of you gave me sugar
One of you gave me gold
One of you left me in the snow
One of you shut out the cold
One of you bought me heaven
One of you sold me hell
One of you made me realize
There’s nothing in this world
I never knew the reason I had to live this way
But every night I wake up screaming for the day
Some of you shared my bed
One of you owns my heart
None of you knew the pain I faced
You can’t see the reasons we’re apart

CAN'T LOVE THAT WOMAN
03:40
|
|||
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR NAME, IT’S AN AUTOGRAPH
WHEN YOU SPEAK YOUR MIND, IT’S A PARAGRAPH
WHEN YOU TELL WHAT YOU’VE SEEN, IT’S A PHOTOGRAPH
AND YOU’R TOO SOPHISTICATED AND YOU’RE NOT SENTIMENTAL
AND YOU’RE TOO OPINIONATED AND YOU’RE NOT VERY GENTLE
AND I CAN’T LOVE A WOMAN LIKE THAT
NO I CAN’T LOVE A WOMAN LIKE THAT
NO I CAN’T LOVE A WOMAN LIKE YOU GIRL

LOOK AT THE RIVER
03:41
|
|||
ONCE AGAIN TOO MANY RIVERS FLOOD MY THOUGHTS
DEEP INTO MY MISERY I SWIM
ALL ALONE AM I BECAUSE YOU DON’T WANT ME
ALL MY BRIGHT LIGHTS HAVE GROWN DIM
I WANT TO BE WANTED
I’M AFRAID TO SLEEP ALONE
I NEED TO BE NEEDED
BUT MY WORLD IS FALLING DOWN
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DID
LOOK AT THE RIVER IN MY MIND
THINK ABOUT THE TIMES WE LIVED
LOOK AT ME LOOK AT MY FACE
CAN’T YOU FEEL MY PAIN
LOOK AT ME LOOK AT THE RIVER
CAN’T YOU SEE I’M GOING DOWN
EVERYBODY LOVES ME BUT YOU
BUT SOON YOUR EYES WILL SEE
THEN YOU’LL KNOW YOU’LL HAVE TO LEAN ON ME
IF YOU DON’T YOUR LIFE WILL BE AN EMPTY SHELL
YOUR LIFE WILL BE A RUSTY BELL
YOU’LL BE WITHOUT A SONG TO SING
WITHOUT A RAINBOW TO SEE
WITHOUT A SINGLE THING EXCEPT SYMPATHY

QUIETLY LEAVE ME
02:42
|
|||
You’re causing raindrops to fall on me
You’re causing teardrops to come from me
You’re causing heartaches to call on me
You’re causing pain in every way that you can (twice)
You’re causing sorrow to appear in me
You’re causing happiness to disappear from me
You’re causing misery to follow me
You’re causing pain in every way that you can (twice)
(Chorus)
So quietly leave me
Let it be understood
That you quietly left me cause I’m no good
Tell all your friends all the lies you can
And quietly leave me and I’ll be satisfied
You’re all I had to get me there
You’re all I had to take me where my heart has never been before
But now….
(Repeat first verse and chorus)

LET US PRAY
05:13
|
|||
Dear young people all you who pray
Tell Ms. Society that you are here
Clear blue morning all which appear
Tell Mister MacArthur that you are here
(First Chorus)
Let us pray for the troubled
Let us pray for the sick
Let us pray for the people who can’t go home
Let us pray for the women
Let us pray for the men
Let us pray for the children who have to roam
Simon was born Susan was a child
Simon fell in love Susan ran wild
Susan got lost inside her mind
A lady with willpower couldn’t be found
Mister Harper loved a girl who was a woman
A fire raged burning his dream
Midnight came and brought the darkness
Sunshine fell hushed like a kiss
(Second Chorus)
Like us pray for the lonely
Let us visit the old
Let us cry with the people who have to cry
Let us visit the evil
Let us show them the good
Let us live for the people who have to die
The valley held a message of sad goodbye
The good asked when and the bad asked why
(Repeat second chorus)
Classical rain fell on daydreaming men
Music was played to ease our pain
Poets roamed the hills making love
Hidden in the grass was a three fingered glove
Storm clouds brought bitter tears
Feline magicians asked about our fears
Blue angels rode on wings of steel
Nothing was ever proven real
(Repeat first chorus)
Dear young people all you who hear
Tell Ms. Society that you are here
Dear young people all you who win
Tell Mister MacArthur we’ll do it again

I'LL CRY TOMORROW
03:17
|
|||
I’ll cry tomorrow but I’ll laugh today
Cause I know what you want to say
You think your kisses will cover you lies
But I see the truth in your eyes
You want to tell me you want to part
You want to tell me and stop my heart
I’ll cry tomorrow but I’ll laugh today
Cause you’re mine till evening comes
And you’ll find we’ll have some fun
You’ll still be near
You’ll still be here
But tomorrow you’ll be gone
Chorus
I’ll cry tomorrow but I’ll laugh today
Cause you’re mine till the day is done
And you’ll find we’ll have some fun
You’ll still be near
You’ll still be here
But tomorrow you’ll be gone
I’ll cry tomorrow but I’ll laugh today
Cause I know what you want to say
I’ll laugh today till the day is done
And pray tomorrow never comes

NO HEAVY TRUCKING
02:18
|
|||
I’ve got one ticket left in my tunnel book
I can’t go anywhere
My tires are worn out
My wires are torn out
I guess I’ll sleep right here
No heavy trucking
Do it on your own time
No heavy trucking
No heavy parking fines
I’ve got one gallon left in my metal tank
I can’t go anywhere
My windows are closing
My fuel lines are frozen
I guess I’ll sleep right here
