"Naked"

My friend had a girlfriend
She liked her drink
Sucked the head off her lager
Threw me a wink
And she sang to me, "Buddy, what's your sign?"

I was off, I was runnin'
Knocked me clean off my feet
Her tongue kept on selling
What any blind man could see
And I just kept on stumbling through the stop signs

She said, "What's you hiding underneath that shirt?"
Right behind the buttons there's a heart that hurts
Adam's evening left the curse
Take it off make it work

Naked, naked - just get back to basics, yeah
Naked, face it - you can't fake it when you're (naked)
Naked (naked) face it
All I'm saying

The tail you been chasing
Put the K back in kink
Threw a coin in her jukebox
I started to think
But she just smiled and offered me a peace sign

How far you gonna run in those designer shoes ?
The soul with holes ain't gonna be the one you lose
I don't know which one is worse: Adam, me or you

Naked, naked - just get back to basics, yeah
Naked, face it - you can't fake it when you're (naked)
Naked (naked) face it
All I'm saying

[Guitar solo]

Take it, embrace it
Baby, here we are
Can't you almost ... taste it

Naked, naked - just get back to basics (yeah)
Naked, face it - you can't fake it when you're (naked)
Naked (naked, naked) naked (naked, naked) naked (naked, naked) naked (naked)
[Jon talking to fade]

"Never Say Die"

As we stood there older than men
And younger than the boys (that's right)
We were as still as the wind
That blows on a hot August night

And you were lonesome as a jukebox
But deadly just the same
I could be as gentle as a newborn
Then spit into the eye of a hurricane

And we knew how to laugh
And we knew how to cry
Yeah, we sure knew how to live
But we don't ever

Never say die, never say die

I guess you'd say we had a pact
These words we knew so well (that's right)
Still they remained unspoken
And we'd take them to the fiery gates of hell

Once I was afraid of love
But when it's your brother those things change
'Cause love is just another word for trust
So hear me when I say

Never say die, never say no
You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die

[Guitar solo]

Yeah, and we could run like lightning (we could run like lightning)
Through the pouring rain (through the rain)
And we'll be standing like a soldier
Who comes marching home again (left, right, left, right)

They ask what it is that I want written (they ask what it is that I want written)
On the gravestone where I'll lie (on the gravestone where I'll lie)
Tell them it's just my bones that died there (tell them it's just my bones that died there)
So save the tears they'll cry (so save the tears they'll cry)

My spirit is still riding somewhere's in this night
And it's these three words that come to me
As I kiss this world good bye

Never say die, never say no
You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die, never say die... (that's right)

"Queen Of New Orleans"

She said: "Baby our love's just like your songs
The beat ain't bad but the words are all wrong
It's time to pack my bags, it's time to just move on"
She sang: "Johnny, I'm gone, gone, gone"
And she was gone, yeah

Me and Leigh met summer of '95
In a burgundy dress lookin' finer than a French wine
A Cajun queen with another side
She was a schoolboy's dream, I was out of my mind
She was lookin' fine
She said: "You wanna drive me home"
But what I didn't know ......

Ooh, ooh, (shalala) I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) it was almost like a dream (almost like a dream)

That night I made my move
Man I fell hard when I put my hands in her cookie jar
She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star
I was a deer in the lights of a speeding car
Nothing's what it seems, she was a Venus De Milo in her sister's jeans

Ooh, ooh, (shalala) I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) it was almost like a dream (almost like a dream)

{Guitar solo}

Ooh, ooh, (shalala) I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) I was dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with the Queen down Bourbon Street

Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) nothing's what it seems in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with a Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

"Santa Fe"

They say that no man is an island
And good things come to those who wait
But the things I hear are there just to remind me
Every dog will have his day

The spirits, they intoxicate me
I watched them infiltrate my soul
They try to say it's too late for me
Tell my guns I'm coming home

I swear I'm gonna live forever
Tell my maker he can wait
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven
Heading back to Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe

Once I was promised absolution
There's only one solution for my sins
You gotta face your ghosts and know with no illusions
That only one of you is going home again

And I blame this world for making a good man evil
It's this world that can drive a good man mad
And it's this world that turns a killer into a hero
Well I blame this world for making a good man bad

Now I ain't getting into heaven if the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe
Lord have mercy

[Guitar solo]

So I save a prayer when I need it most
To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
And sign it from a sinner with no name
When I meet my maker
Will he close the book on the hearts I broke and the lives I took ?
Will he walk away 'cause my soul's too late to save ?

Now I ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe

"Staring At Your Window"

You think you know me just because you know my name
You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
But does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truth

You need somebody, somebody to hold onto
But this ain't the movies, and we ain't heroes

Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but a heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand

I said that I want you, but when we woke up one of us was crying
You rolled over and all you said was, "Man, I think I'm dying"
Our song is over, this band of gold has been feeling like a noose
You place your bets 'cause no one thinks they'll lose

Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window

The light of love can blind you 'til you cover up your eyes
And you try to find the reason not to say good bye
It's the curse of every sailor standing on dry land
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand

[Guitar solo]

The night is fading like my old tattoo
A heart and a dagger that says "Forever"

Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
I'm getting tired of talkin', even I don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand

"Ugly"

If you're ugly, I'm ugly too
In your eyes the sky's a different blue
If you could see yourself like others do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you, yeah

And I wish I was a camera sometimes
So I could take your picture with my mind
Put it in a frame for you to see
How beautiful you really are to me

Ugly, ugly
All of us just feel like that some days
Ain't no rainbow in the sky, when you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Ugly, ugly
All of us just feel like that some days
Ain't no rainbow in the sky, when you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly, ugly
All of us just feel like that some days
Ain't no cure that you can buy
When you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly

So if you're ugly, I'm ugly too
If you're a nut, then I must be a screw
If you could see yourself the way I do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you, yeah
I wish I was as beautiful as you

"You Really Got Me Now"

1, 2, 3, 4
Well you're dancing with the shadow
You been talking in your sleep
Well you can walk on water
But don't want to wet your feet

You really got me, you really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really put me through it
You got me, yeah

You say you talk to everyone
Who is anyone in town
But they don't recognize you
With your feet out of your mouth

You really got me, you really got me now, yeah
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really drive me through it
You got me

Who am I to judge a man who says that's he's his own biggest fan
It's true / Richard...

[Piano solo]

You brought a knife out to a gunfight
And you're shouting that I'm dead
My old friends Smith and Wesson
Think you're in over your head

You really got me, you really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really drive me through it
You got me now

You really got me, you really got me now
You burn your bridges baby
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really put me through it
You got me, yeah
