THE PRICE THAT YOU PAY
If you wake up in the morning light
Something doesn't seem or know is right
Lay back and let your feeling show
Come on and let the people know
Oh, that's the price that you pay
Oh, that's the price that you pay.
Just (...................) money
Your baby (..................)
(..................................)
Now come on boys, (............)
Oh, that's the price that you pay
Oh, that's the price that you pay.
Oh, that's the price that you pay
Oh, that's the price that you pay.
Bad news is just an excuse
Get down and let yourself keep loose
Go on and live for tomorrow
So much spent today in sorrow
Oh, that's the price that you pay
Oh, that's the price that you pay
THE RENT IS ALWAYS DUE
You're still the child
Suspended in space
Crying out to you
Beckons you to yet another fine place
Where the trials of life are few
Who says you are coming on
Don't think you're living long
They won't remember you
The rent is always due.
The cloudy men
Who take their place
And stand in line
They do
Know not of
The satin face
That separates them from you
Just put your blue jeans on
Grab your guitar and write a song
Don't think I'm kidding you
The rent is always due.
She rides a broom
With gold-plated straw
And flutters around
And dies
The Brylcream fools
Just standing on
Digesting all their lives
But then you walk along
And she starts coming on
Beneath her melting broom
The rent is always due.
THERE GOES MY BABE
The end has come
The sky has lost it's sun
The harm is done
He was the only one
There goes my babe
There goes what might have been
There goes my babe
In the cool morning rain
And now my heart
Lies empty and still again
If he were here
I'd long to hold him near
But now it's clear
The price of love is dear
There goes my babe
There goes what might have been
There goes my babe
In the cool morning rain
And now my heart
Lies empty and still again
THE ROAD OF PLENTY
One day a visitor took a trip through my town
We all were dancin' till he took his beat away
Come to think of it, he thought of every last detail
Slipped out late one night
Completely out of sight
Left his message etched into my brain.
And when the gates are closed on The Road of Plenty
The fist comes poundin' down you feel it everyday
It's hard to really know if you are full or empty
Here it comes again
You think I'm your old friend
But now we're not so easily found.
Me and my old Corvette, we were flying through the night
Chasin' my blonde lover down skyline
She saw the tail lights flash to avoid the crash
It was way too late
When I hit the brakes
And we went spinnin' with a screeching sound.
I was talkin' to my friend, tellin' him I lucked out
He smiled at me and said I'm glad you feel that way
And when I wrote that down on a piece of paper
Beneath a garbage heap
Down upon the street
A Mariachi band began to play.
Up in the gold hotel, the money hits the table
The heavies are all there, that's why the deal goes down
With beautiful women all dressed in diamonds and sable
Down upon the street
Beside a garbage heap
A Mariachi band began to play.
In Eldorado town there lives a great bullfighter
His eyes are screamin' blue, his hair is red as blood
And when the gate goes up, the crowd gets so excited
Then he comes dancin' out
Dressed in gold lami
He kills the bull and lives another day
THIS OLD HOUSE
Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking,
The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor.
Darlin' I can see that you're dreaming,
And I don't wanna wake you up
When I close the door.
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy,
And how he always made things work, when the chips were down,
And I know I've got something inside me
There's always a light there to guide me
To what can't be found.
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a swing outside the kids play on every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Remember how we first came here together?
Standing on an empty lot, holding hands.
Later, we came back in the moonlight
And made love right where the kitchen is,
Then we made our plans.
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR
My brother went to prison
He's in Kingston doin' time
He got seven years for sellin'
What I've been smokin' all my life
Time off for good behavior
But the boy don't feel too good
Locked behind those steel bars
I don't know if he should
Yeh a few years ago they called me
Back home to get a big award
They also called my brother
But they made him say "My Lord"
They locked me up in a Hall of Fame
And threw away the keys
But when they put my brother away
It really did somethin' to me
Now I'm guilty as hell for sayin'
"Boy you better go back home"
You know you'll get a fair shake there
We're running all alone
When he called me up from the border
With the Mounties on his tail
I said go back to Canada
We can raise the bail
Now I get these letters
From a cell with no TV
He says he's outside one hour
And inside twenty three
Time off for good behavior
But the boy don't feel too good
Locked behind those steel bars
I don't know if he should
Now I'm guilty as hell for sayin'
"Boy you better go back home"
You know you'll get a fair shake there
We're running all alone
When he called me up from the border
With the Mounties on his tail
I said go back to Canada
We can raise the bail
My brother went to prison
He's in Kingston doin' time
He got seven years for sellin'
What I've been smokin' all my life
TRACES
Believe me,
When I tell you
That a love true
Isn't hard to find.
'Cause I found mine
And she's so fine
Like a lifeline
From across the sea.
None of the neighbors
Remember names,
They only see the faces
With destinations still unnamed.
It's hard to leave the traces
For someone to follow.
TURBINE
The summer ends and the winter winds
Begin to holler all around the bend.
We will smile and sail away
This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds greet the trees back there.
We can watch the turbine turning in the wind
Up on the ridge line, before the fog rolls in.
Falling leaves in the autumn air
People feeling good everywhere
When the winter winds greet the trees back there.
We can watch the turbine blowing in the wind
Up on the ridge line, before the fog rolls in.
We will smile and sail away.
This won't be no sadness day
When the winter winds greet the trees back there
WALKING AFTER MIDNIGHT
There's a face in the window
Lookin' back at me
There's a face in the window
I just can't see.
That face in the window
Keeps haunting me.
I went walking after midnight
Up and down the street
I went walking after midnight
Up and down the street
When I stopped for a smoke
I heard shuffling feet.
Well, I stopped for a smoke
What did I see?
A face in the filter
Lookin' back at me.
Ah, listen to me baby
Hear what I have to say.
Yeah, listen to me baby
Hear what I have to say.
These midnight blues
They won't go away
These midnight blues
Won't go away.
Yeah, I stopped for a smoke
What did I see?
A face in the filter
Lookin' back at me.
I'm walking after midnight
Well, I'm walking after midnight
WELCOME TO THE BIG ROOM
Welcome to the big room
Everything's alright.
People, welcome to the big room
'Cause everything's alright.
It's alright, It's alright, It's alright.
Don't have no cameras in the big room
Too much for one lens to see.
Don't allow no cameras in the big room.
Too much for one lens to see.
It's alright, It's alright, It's alright.
There's always tellers in the big room.
Every day and every night.
There's always tellers in the big room.
Every day and every night.
It's alright, It's alright, It's alright.
There's always dancing in the big room,
Every day and every night.
There's always dancing in the big room,
Every day and every night.
It's alright, It's alright, It's alright.
There's always tellin' in the big room,
Every day and every night.
There's always tellin' in the big room,
Every day and every night.
It's alright, It's alright, It's alright.
Yeah, people, welcome to the big room
Everything's alright.
People, welcome to the big room
Everything's alright.
It's alright, It's alright, It's alright.
Yeah, people, welcome to the big room
Leave your troubles at the door.
People, welcome to the big room
Leave your troubles at the door.
It's alright, It's alright, It's alright
WE’RE GONNA ROCK FOREVER
Down the highway, all across the nation
Trucks are moving rough, we pass the break of day
Sure looks like we're all gonna rock forever.
Rock, rock, rock.
After midnight you see the big trucks rolling
Pushing metal on down the super slab
Sure hard to tell from here where we are going
Rock, rock, rock.
Do it inside, do it outside, baby
Do it over again in the same old way
From now on we're all gonna rock together.
Rock, rock, rock.
Sure looks like we're all gonna rock forever.
The way we just keep rolling on and on
Yeah, sure looks like we're all gonna rock forever.
Rock, rock, rock.
WHEN IT FALLS, IT FALLS ALL OVER YOU
Selling papers on the corner,
I saw a man yesterday.
I asked him if he'd wanna
Tell me what made him this way.
He said, when it's born, it's warm,
Then it gathers strength in lies,
When it falls, it falls all over you.
He used to pick his friends.
They left him in the end.
An easy thing to lose,
The right to pick and choose.
When it's born, it's warm,
Then it gathers strength in lies,
When it falls, it falls all over you.
He said he left his wife,
The back-bone of his life.
Another came along,
But now I guess she's gone.
When it's born, it's warm,
Then it gathers strength in lies,
When it falls, it falls all over you.
I think I used to see
That old man on TV,
Can you be the same?
It seems like such a shame.
When it's born, it's warm,
Then it gathers strength in lies,
When it falls, it falls all over you.
The world he thought he knew,
Has better things to do.
As I went on my way
I thought I heard him say:
When it's born, it's warm,
Then it gathers strength in lies,
When it falls, it falls all over you.
YOUR LOVE
Your love is good to me
I should be standing tall
And walking proud
Your eyes keep looking out
And your heart keeps beatin' on
Oh yeah, without your love I would surely die.
Some night when I'm alone
I get to wonder what's been shown
And your love is like a light
Showing me the way through the night
Oh yeah, without your love I would surely die.
Your love is good to me
Good to you I try to be
Don't leave me, babe
Yeah, if I get the blues
My love you'll never loose
Don't ever take away your love.
Your love, your love.
Your love, your love.
YOUR LOVE AGAIN
I don't wanna bring you down
I don't wanna change you
All I want is
Your love again
You and I want different things
But we need each other
All I want is
Your love again
Love is always changin' faces
Who knows what it means
The whole World is tryin' to find
The answer to its' dreams
Why should we lose what we got
We could rearrange it
All I want is
Your love again
I don't wanna break your heart
I just wanna hold you
All I want is
Your love again
You and I knew from the start
Now we gotta make it happen
All I need is
Your love again
When you walked into my life
On the heels of a dream
I thought I saw in your eyes
A little bit of me
I don't wanna change your life
I just wanna share it
All I want is
Your love again
All I want is
Your love again
