COCAINE EYES
Ain't a day goes by, I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Ain't a day goes by, I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Scored some friends along the way
Did what I did, said what I had to say
And I'd do it all again if I had to today
When all is said and done
I'm the one.

It's a long hard road when your friends start to leave you behind
It's a long hard road when you try to find peace of mind
Some might go for poison
And some go for too much stuff
Some just go to sleep at night
And forget to wake up.

Cocaine eyes
Can't hide your face
It's no surprise
You lose the race
Again

Ain't a day goes by, I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Ain't a day goes by, I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Scored some friends along the way
Did what I did, said what I had to say
And I'd do it all again if I had to today
'Cause when all is said and done
I'm the one.
I'm the one, yeah.

Cocaine eyes
It won't hide your face
It's no surprise
You lost the race
Once again
My old friend.

DON'T CRY
Don't cry my sweet girl
Nothin' I say is written in stone
Don't cry my sweet love
You won't really be alone.
I'll help you pack your things
I'll walk with you out to the car
I'll hold on to the ring
I won't forget the way things are.
My sweet love.

Your disappointed eyes
Are haunting me like my big lies
I see you glaring now
I see you staring in the fire.
My sweet love.

Don't cry my sweet girl
Nothin' I say is written in stone
Don't cry my sweet love
You won't really be alone.
My sweet love, my sweet love.

Don't cry my sweet girl
You won't really be alone
Don't cry my sweet girl
You won't really be alone
Don't cry my sweet girl
You won't really be alone.

HEAVY LOVE
I may not mystify you
In your search for higher love
I may just slip right by you
With your eyes turned up above.
We may not compromise
I may not suit your taste tonight
My love
But as the time goes by
You might think that I'm all right
My love, my heavy love.

A noise, your phone is ringing
Or is that someone at your door
Inside your head I'm singing
Inside your heart I cry for more.
You may not hear me calling
You may not feel me bawling out
My love
But heavy rocks are falling
Heavy love is coming down
My love, my heavy love.

A noise, your phone is ringing
Or is that someone at your door
Inside your head I'm singing
Inside your heart I dig for more.
We may not compromise
I may not suit your taste tonight
My sweet love
But as the time goes by
You might think that I'm all right
My love, my heavy love.
My heavy love

ON BROADWAY
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walking down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

They say the women treat you right on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how you gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
But They're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar

And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
On Broadway, on Broadway

EL DORADO
In the crystal ball the gypsy sees the villa
The riders on the hill the fire in the fields
She sees the mission bell swinging in the silence
Now the shooting starts
The bullets pierce the hearts
The señoritas crying at the well.

Up in the Gold Hotel the money hits the table
The heavies all are there that's why the deal's goin' down
Beautiful women all dressed in diamonds and sable
Down upon the street
Beside a garbage heap
A Mariachi band begins to play.

Somewhere a blues guitar plays echoes in the alleyway
The Tijuana dawn claims another day
The golden sun rises on the runway
The pilot understands
The money changes hands
Inside the jet the briefcase snaps goodbye.

In Eldorado town there lives a great bullfighter
His eyes are screaming blue, his hair is red as blood
And when the gate goes up the crowd gets so excited
And he comes dancin' out
Dressed in gold lami
He kills the bull and lives another day.
