Night Crawlin'

Looking for action out somewhere near El'Paso
In some metal bar they’re pumpin’ at the disco
Nightcrawlin’
Down on the strip ya’ know ya’ gotta hussle
With the cops and thieves junkies and the assholes
Nightcrawlin’
In the city’s back streets way across town
Rising up from your deep insides
In your darkest place on the low down
From the corners of your mind running wild
All down the alley ways walkin’ in the shadows
They’re following you their voices they echo
Nightcrawlin’
Now whatcha gonna do all washed up in the gutter
With all the sleaze & motherfuckin’- motherfuckers?
Through razor-wired broken windows
Seeing ghost with pins for eyes
See lambs lost in the spot light
Poor little lambs you’re gonna die!
Hey! what’s the matter man what you gonna do?
I see you’re lost and your arm’s black & blue
It’s alright I understand let’s take a little ride hey what’s up man?
It’s all fine what’s there to lose? now what you gonna do you’re so confused?
Just don’t fight it there ain’t no plan
You know that you want it
Nightcrawlin’

Lying by the ocean drinking rum and thinking ‘bout you and me
Dreaming of a boat we’ll climb aboard and sail it on out to sea
We’ll ride on like stowaways we’ll hide for days alone
And rise somewhere life is nice and warm
And we'll dance around like swan dare in the moonlight
Just swaying in time on silvery nights
And we'll sail away like lovers do
Across the horizon
We came upon an island on a beach and made a little house to live in
But soon we heard the rumble of the volcano
And you and I had to leave
And we'll ride on like stowaways we'll hide where nights are long
And rise somewhere life is nice
And we’ll dance around like swan dare in the moonlight
Just swaying in time on silvery nights
And we'll sail away like lovers do
All across the horizon
Lets follow the rise of the sea float with the clouds in the breeze
They’re not so impossible things to find we’ll be floating around in a dream
They’re not so impossible-we'll ride on like stowaways we'll hide for nights alone
And rise somewhere nice
And we’ll dance around like swan dare in the moonlight
Just swinging in time on silvery nights
And we’ll sail away like lovers do
All across the horizon
Oh' and we’ll swim and play like dolphins play
Alone in the heat of the night

Night Drive to Saturn
02:54
|
|||
I'm driving from the city beneath the winding
Lights of the freeway
In a fast car racing across the night
Alone I fly away
The hours go speeding by when
Travelling across time and space
My wheels roll on Saturn's rings
Around and round I race
I'm low on gas and oxygen
And the radio won't play
On a cosmic speedway all alone
I'll burn out like a light
And never come home
Hurling faster than the speed of light
I ride a higher plain
Above the sky and out of sight
On a starry highway
A thousand million miles alone
I'll burn up like a light and
Never come home

So Lonely

Jane says it's stormy and tomorrow we've better luck
Cos there's change a'coming and skies will be clearing up
When she's talking just to me about meteorology I'm lost in her eyes
And with every word she's sayin’ I'm hangin' on for Jane
I ....I lose my mind woah - yeah!
When the mercury's falling and cold rain hits the ground
Jane says by Friday the sun will be coming out
Would she wear that dress for me?
That one above the knee?
So tight It’s what I’m hoping
And every night I dream
Up someway I'm gonna give
Her all my love - all my love
She's all woman and I wanna be around her-Jane!
I want her to know me
I write her letters but she never comes around here
And I'm so lonely for her
When I woke up Sunday the sky was hangin' down
When I called the station they said Jane had left town
And no one on my TV is so warm and friendly as her
And I feel so down
There ain't never gonna be another weather girl for me
But I won't cry no-no I won't!
She's all woman and I wanna be around her-Jane!
I want her to know me
I write her letters but she never comes around here
And I'm so lonely
Well she's all woman and I wanna be around her-Jane!
I want her to show me
I write her letters but she never comes around here
And I'm so lonely for her

Train to Rome

Train to Rome through the Autumn leaves the wheels start to roll
Train to Rome I met a Mona-Lisa we had a love that's strong
Dancing in our carriage swinging we drank a lot of cool summer wine
All along i was thinking she looked like an angel in the light
Riding on
That train to Rome rolling down the blinds on the windows
Train to Rome let the engine roar and the whistle blow
The rhythm of the tracks repeating the beating of our hearts keeping time
But later while I was sleeping she left there alone in the night
Well that train to Rome along went speeding dragging my old heart down the line
Only heaven knows what I was feeling I've never known lovin' so right
Train to Rome through the city streets hear the engine slow
Train to Rome I never want to leave but its time to go
In the people at the station waiting i saw her meet a man with a child
On the whistle as the train was leaving I caught a little smile from her eyes

Sober

I was dreaming on Sunday, rain was falling down
Dark cloud hung over this hazy town
I climbed aboard a train and for days and nights I rode
Through the hills and valleys, I heard voices call-singing
“Don’t worry this storm will pass
You’re just stone cold sober, this won’t last long”
I woke up with sparrows all pecking in my eyes
In someone else’s clothes, in someone else’s wife
I asked for directions to somewhere I might know
I ran for miles through the streets
In bitter sleet and snow I heard
“Don’t worry it’s all just fine
You’re just stone cold sober” then the sea came in rolling
Like a slow embrace I could run to and hide
In arms that are open, loving and wide
Where loneliness and tears run dry
And follow the ocean home on the rising tide
Don't worry it's all just fine
Like stars fading from night’s sky
With no reason to stay
In blinding light
We find a place to hide away
