It Feels So Good To Love Someone Like You

Desert sands
Heart's homeland
'Til you

Flesh and bones
Made of stone
'Til you

Seasons never changed
Reasons never came

So it feels so good to love
Someone like you

Birds in trees
Fantasies
'Til you

Fire's cry
The embers die
'Til you

Dying on the roam
Crying for a home

And so it feels so good to love
Someone like you

I Have Faith In These Desolate Times

I have faith in these desolate times
A roar down the road of a rumbling war
I have faith in these desolate times
A chill from the eyes of a man of political skill
I have faith but for how much longer?

It seems to me, bitter trees, full of fleas
Summarily hold the branches
People we, falling leaves, watching thieves
Stealing keys, to our ranches

I have faith in these desolate times
A score to the sound of the feet of a journeyman's tour
I have faith in these desolate times
A feel and a hope and belief that man's peace will be still
I have faith but for how much longer?

The village green, people seen, full of beans
Imagining the course of action
And in between, shopping scenes, plasticine
Suburban dreams, an empty faction

I have faith in these desolate times
Show fear, and the smoke of a gun trigger pulling finger pressure comes near

I have faith in these desolate times
Before long, the lamb and the lion may lie with the lass in the grass at dawn

I have faith but for how much longer?

Declaration: Neither Fish Nor Flesh

...so I'm not you pearl
To this I am resigned
But... to an outside world
I will not be defined
'Cause I'm neither fish... nor flesh

Cross My Heart

Stop the world, I want to get off
Baby's gone through a change
She said she was born again
Baby's acting strange
Now, I can eat
Then hold her tight
Vision did decree
We can't make love anymore
Until you marry me

Stay from that preacher man
Stay close to me
Where you going man?
Sorry, God, but she belongs to me...

He made you save your soul
But I can beg you to hold onto lust
I might have to cry
If you don't

You say you
Still want my love
But not the physical kind
If you think I'll hang around
You're out of your mind
If you want all of my love
Leave your babble at home
This is what you do, girl...
Raise your skirt up off your knees
Allow my hands to roam

Stay from that preacher man
Stay close to me
Where you going man?
Sorry, God, but she belongs to me...

He made you save your soul
But I can beg you to hold onto lust
I might have to cry
If you don't

Share your love with me...

Get Up And Run

B-Baby, put your clothes on and run...
You better hide before your momma finds you
And listen to me...
B-Baby, can't you see that I am stung
And didn't she tell ya that I was, yeah...
Low down and mean.
Baby, I guess - I brushed off the rules in my life
I was born outside a stonewall jethouse
And thrown back to the sea
Baby, I've got to eat my steak raw...
I'm only here to make a living
I don't need your sympathy

Oh, get up and run...
Better hide yourself
From the man they call
'The Devil With A Gun'
Get up and run
Can't see you fall into the hands
Of the Public Enemy Number One

B-Baby, watch out
I won't do you no harm
I just need a little loving
Some two-time company
Baby, you've got your good looking charm
Just keep me satisfied with your...
Two-faced ecstasy

Oh, get up and run...
Better hide yourself
From the man they call
'The Devil With A Gun'
Get up and run
Can't see you fall into the hands
Of the Public Enemy Number One

Baby, you tried
To hold me much too long
I don't want no conversation
I'm a simpleton - feel and do
Baby, I guess you treated me wrong
I'm a wildcat - you're a tiger
But I wear my Devil shoes

Baby, get up
And put them old red jeans on
But be here before the night starts turning
Back into the day
Baby, why don't you get up and run
If you listen very closely...
I can hear your momma say

Oh, get up and run...
You better hide yourself
From the man they call
'The Devil With A Gun'
Get up and run
Can't see you fall into the hands
Of the Public Enemy Number One

Aahhh...

Somebody Else

I was lonely
When you left long ago
I was shattered
And the pain hurt me so...
And not only
Was I empty within
I was careful not to
Do it all again
It's deceiving
That you care for the ones
Who really need it
But they go take off and run
Now I'm believing
In myself once more
Because I found someone
Who opens up the door

You made me cry
But she has made me laugh
She makes me whole
But you tore me in half
She makes me feel
I'm sexy...I'm hot...
I hope you're jealous
Because I have got...

Somebody else... Somebody else...
Who'll know, she makes my telephone ring
Somebody else... Somebody else...
Who really is a sweet thing

Now, your boyfriend
He's left you alone
And you call me...
But I won't answer the phone
So go and suffer
Like you made me do
I'm sorry if I'm laughing at you
You're guilty
For calling a split
Because it was time...
But now, you can't handle it
When I saw you
All alone in the bar
You were busy drinking
Whisky by the jar

You made me cry
But she has made me laugh
She makes me whole
But you tore me in half
She makes me feel
I'm sexy... I'm hot...
I hope you're jealous
Because I have got...

Somebody else... Somebody else...
Who'll know, she makes my telephone ring
Somebody else... Somebody else...
That girl, she really is a sweet thing

Somebody else... Somebody else...
Ohh!
Somebody else... Somebody else...
Ohh!

Somebody else... Somebody else...
That girl, she really is a sweet thing
Somebody else... Somebody else...
Hey, that pretty girl, she makes my telephone ring...
Somebody else... Somebody else...
Oh, yeah!

Immaterial

Baby, get out of here
I'm too far gone
For you and me - it's too late
If you really want me to
I'll tell you what's wrong
I saw you and your date
Out of the corner of my eye
How did you know I was there that night?

Girl, no matter what you say
It won't help now
We've talked it out before
It's about time you faced reality
This is too big to ignore

How is it we're always fair
In love and war
It's a cliché
I don't want to hear anymore
They say, love is a changing game
It's you that are out to put the blame
Because it's...

Immaterial... immaterial
Immaterial
Immaterial... immaterial
Immaterial

Baby, I'm running out of words to say
I'll be cool for now, but as for you...
Hope there is something from our affair
Our trouble will renew

How is it we're always fair
In love and war
It's a cliché
I don't want to hear anymore
They say, love is a changing game
It's you that are out to put the blame
Because it's...

Immaterial... immaterial
Immaterial
Immaterial... immaterial
Immaterial

Passion

Everything's all right
Because you're here with me
Unrestricted - totally
And it's a safe bet that tonight
Will go just fine
Work your body next to mine
Unwind

Let's keep our passion tight
This ain't no fashion night

And if you close your eyes
A magic carpet ride will fill the skies
I'm glad you came
I need your company
It's only better with the three
Lay back, relax
And let your love go through
It's all I ask of you to do...

You look so good right now
Why don't you make a vow
To show me how
I'll try to make it smooth
But you have got to move
If we're doing fine...

Passion
In bed together
I want to love you all night long
Passion
Moving together
Making your feelings come alive
Passion
You're my forever
I want to have you for my own
You're pretty special girl,
You mean the world to me

Everything's all right
Because you're here with me
Unrestricted - totally
Come, let's enjoy
Our time right now
And let's not wait
Let's escape - there's a reason
To celebrate...
And if you close your eyes
A magic carpet ride will fill the skies

Passion
In bed together
I want to love you all night long
Passion
Moving together
Making your feelings come alive
You're my forever
I want to have you for my own
You're pretty special girl,
You mean the world to me

Passion

Weekend

Hurrah, the evening...
It's about quarter to five
I clean up my desk
And I don't want to hear no jive
My boss just asked me
"How 'bout working' late?"
I told him: "It's Friday...
You know I've got a date."

Six o'clock, and I'm almost through...
I took a shower, shaved...
And put on my blue suede shoes
Picked up my lady,
And headed down the street
"Before we go to the disco, baby...
How 'bout something' to eat?"

This is what I did...
Jumped in the disco
Everything starts coming alive...
My baby, swinging'...
She's doing the funky jive...
Everybody dancing
Out there on the floor
The DJ asked the mania:
"You want to hear some more, yeah?"

You know it's weekend, baby
You got to have some fun
Yeah, yeah - You know it's weekend, baby
'Til Monday morning comes...

Hey, hey, hey
Nothing's going to stop us, baby
We're having our fun tonight...
When we boogie on down to the disco light
The rhythm beat is going to make it all right
You can hear my heart when it falls apart
From the way you move your lips
Jump up, babyface, and dance some more
Let me see you shake those hips
Everybody now...

(I'm going to do it to my baby tonight!)

The weekend's through
It's Monday morning at eight
I can't go to bed
Because I can't be at work too late
Sitting in the office
With a dropping head
Can't wait 'til Friday
'Til the weekend again!

You know it's weekend, baby
You got to have some fun
Yeah, yeah - You know it's weekend, baby
'Til Monday morning comes...

Long Way

The last time I saw you
You were reflection of the time
'Twas all very selfish...
Memories of nonchalance sublime
Those times...

But all those days have come and gone...

The day that you left me...
Caused me to search for what went wrong
Your new liberation
You burn your cup I filled at times
So long

But all those days have come and gone...
The curtains rise on a new dawn...

Long, long way
To your heart again
Long, long way
Throw caution to the wind...
Someday I could hold your hand

We're older and wiser
But your generation's revolution grow
Stripped my security,
And halted a sexual evolution
Confusion.
My apologies are in this song...
Maybe you'll forgive me before long

Long, long way
To your heart again
Long, long way
Throw caution to the wind...
Someday I could hold your hand

The last time I saw you
You were a reflection of the time...
