"Soul Motion"

   
I've got the fever
Poison in my veins
My mind ain't working right
I know the answer
The way to ease this pain
Only got myself to fight
I can see clearly
But choose to be blind
A slave to desire
Holding me, scolding me
Changing your mind
You're like playing with fire

[Chorus:]
I need you
I want to stay on
This soul motion ride
There is no danger when you're here by my side

Given some distance
Just a little time
Right and wrong seems clear
But my sense of reason is nothing
But unkind
Every time that you're near
Over and over I say to myself
Ooh, she's only playing
Ten thousand reasons to find someone else
Still I hear myself saying

[Chorus]

I'm out here on the edge
And I know what's in store
It should be over and done
Just let go and run
But I've tasted too much
Nothing's the same anymore

[Chorus]

"Now And Forever"

   
Whenever I'm weary
From the battles that raged in my head
You made sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way, but still you
Seem to understand
Now & Forever,
I will be your man

Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune
That Heaven has given to me
I'll try to show you
Each and every way I can
Now & Forever,
I will be your man

Now I can rest my worries
And always be sure
That I won't be alone, anymore
If I'd only known you were there
All the time,
All this time.

Until the day the ocean
Doesn't touch the sand
Now & Forever
I will be your man

Now & Forever,
I will be your man

"Goodbye Hollywood"

   
Born and raised in the windy city
I moved West to kickstart a dream
What I found was a town without pity
That'll chew you up and swallow you clean

I'm amazed at the life I'm livin'
Don't want to seem like I'm rockin' the boat
But it ain't all about taking but giving
I feel something tuggin' at my coat
No one ever told me it would be like this
That there'd be something called home
That's too hard to miss

I'm saying goodbye to the glamour
Back to the old neighborhood
All that I need is a place I can breathe
I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood

Done my time in the hoodoo jungle
Tired of waking up in another man's dream
I've got the ball and I ain't gonna fumble
Gonna make a winner of this team
All that ever mattered were the goals I chased
Now I'm ready to run in the human race

I'm saying goodbye to the glamour
Life never tasted so good
All that I need is a place I can breathe
I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood

Me and the Mrs. Done made up our minds
Were gonna give our boys a little less sunshine
Call it runnin' say what you like
I've got my own definition of paradise
I'd rather be knee deep in snow
Than knee deep in jive
I may be cold but my soul is alive

I'm saying goodbye to the glamour
Back to the old neighborhood
All I need is a place I can breathe
I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood

"Heaven's Waiting"

   
There is no understanding in this hostile age
Sometimes I feel just like a bat locked in a cage
It's hard to live beyond the walls
It ain't no life at all
But don't you tear it down

[Chorus:]
Take your chances, I'll take mine
Chasing thunder is only wasted time
Got no reason to walk that line
Heaven's waiting if I can make it home tonight

And with the years I've found a faith that gets me by
It shows me the truth in a hurricane of lines
My baby's left a light for me
That's really all I need
They won't bring me down

[Chorus]

Aimlessly rushing leaves you with nothing
You need some loving to make you feel alive
In less than a moment, life can be stolen
I know where I'm going, gotta get me there tonight

I'm holding on to what I can
Like any other lucky man
Love won't strike me love won't sell me out

[Chorus]

"Nothing Left Behind Us"

   
You never know what we could be in store for
The way it goes, we're in for more of the same
One step beyond the flame

The thread of life
The finely woven pattern
Reveals designs in silent laughter and rhyme
One picture at a time

[Chorus:]
There ain't nothing left behind us
Not a doubt inside us
If the angel calls tomorrow
There's nothing we haven't said
There ain't nothing left behind us
Nothing but a blind trust
I would beg, steal or borrow
To never lose you again.

It's down to us to figure out the secret
It's not enough to wait for pieces to fall
The writing isn't on the wall
Take my hand,
We'll face the fire together
To distant lands, but we can weather the storm
Keeping each other warm

[Chorus]

There's never been an easy way
Everybody is bound to make mistakes
You just do what you think is right
Then laugh till you cry
Till you scream at the night.

[Chorus]

"What You Want"

   
Your situation's in need of help
You're gettin' so you don't know yourself
You wear his ring like a cheap disguise
But I can see you got wandering eyes
Don't believe it's just the clothes that make the man
No one else can love you like I know I can

[Chorus:]
I got what you want
Takes more than money to turn you on
I got what you need
C'mon baby take a chance on me

Somethin' 'bout your smile seems counterfeit
It ain't in you to be a hypocrite
So he's got a mansion, got lots of cash
You live like a queen but feel like trash
I can save you if you put your heart in mine
Baby, can't you see, we're two of the same kind, yeah

[Chorus]

Baby, there ain't nothin' keeping chains on you
Don't you let your head make up your mind

I can't get you off my mind
I'm afraid I may go blind
Won't you let me take you for a ride, yeah

"One Man"

   
It's a peaceful thing
To know that freedom as a rule belongs to me
There's something very wrong
When the colour of a man
Is all you see
After all this time
How can a single voice explain
Any reason for the pain we all have seen
It's not a dream

[Chorus:]
One man stood tall
And faced the devil with his back to the wall
And took one step
Closer to Heaven above

So he took a stand
And walked where no one else would dare to even try
It was the only way
If not for bravery
The soul would surely die
And right before my eyes he gave his life unselfishly
So that all the father's children could be free
Like you and me

[Chorus]

Bridge
Before his work is done
We've got to put an end to this game of
Choosing sides
I want us to be one
And I won't let it go
Till it's over
I'm here waiting

[Chorus]

"Baby Blues"

   
I'd dont need no money
I just need my babe's kiss
Oooh

I swear I don't need no money
Just need my babe's kiss
Yeah yeah

Aint nobody in this whole wide world
Right now

"Fool's Game"

   
[Chorus:]
Fool's game to risk perfection
Out here alone on a wire
Unsuspecting victim of desire

You wear a thousand faces
A master of disguise
And I'm addicted to the madness in your eyes

You will always be the one I dream about
And I know my heart won't beat the same again
You will always be the shadow of a doubt
Now I go crazy wondering what we might have been

Your charms have made me suffer
Why do I care where you are
I'm afraid my dignity has strayed too far

Can't read what you're writing
Unable to make the call
Do you want me desperately
Or not at all

[Chorus]

Can't read what you're writing
Unable to make the call
Do you want me desperately
Or not at all

[Chorus]

"You Never Take Me Dancing"

   
The world's greatest mystery
Is love between the woman and the man
Some guys are Romeos
Others simply do the best they can

I'm just your average, ordinary Joe
Tryin' to learn things I never knew I had to know

What's a man supposed to do
I don't get no kick from nine to five
And I'm not a man who thinks it's true
It's a woman's place to keep a love alive
I've watched enough daytime TV
To know my baby's needs
But sometimes I swear that's she's impossible to please
She says

[Chorus:]
You give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing

I really think I do a lot to show
How I feel about her in my way
Roses on our anniversary
Candlelight and me on her birthday
Just when I thought that I had it all worked out
Now she says I still don't know what it's all about
She says

You give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby
Bu you never take me dancing
I'm just your average, ordinary Joe
Tryin' to learn things I never knew I had to know

[Chorus]
