If you're driftin' on an empty ocean with no wind to fill your sail, the future, your horizon, it's like searchin' for the Holy Grail. You feel there's no tomorrow as you look into the water below. It's only your reflection and you still ain't got no place to go. Time will show, when, I don't know. Sail away tomorrow, sailin' far away. To find it steal or borrow. I'll be there someday yea-yea-yeah yea-ye-yeah. Oh, woman, I keep returnin to sing the same old song. The story's been told, now I'm gettin' old. Tell me,where do I belong? Feel like I'm goin' to surrender, nard times I've had enough. If I could find a place to hide my face, I believe, I could get back up. Time will show, when, I don't know. Sail away tomorrow, sailin' far away. To find it steal or borrow. But I'll be there someday yea-yea-yeah yea-yea-yea-yeah. Sail away tomorrow, sailin' far away. To find it steal or borrow. But I'll be there someday yea-yea-yeah yea-yea-yea-yeah. Sail away tomorrow, sailin' far away. To find it steal or borrow. But I'll be there someday yeah yeah yeah yea-yea-yeah yeah yeah yeah.Seventh Heaven
I've been to places where the sun goes down each night And never rises I've been to places in a dark room where we played With our disguises Heaven, I'm in heaven I'm in seventh heaven now Seventh heaven It was a dream, I heard a voice, I put it down To wishful thinking It was a dream, a silent scream out of the blue A new beginning Heaven, I'm in heaven I'm in seventh heaven now Seventh heaven And then I fell upon a stroke of luck that led To my good fortune And then I fell upon my knees and gently kissed The ground you walk on Aaaah oh yeah I'm in seventh heaven now Seventh heavenShadows
???She Was
She was, she was She was, she was Oh she was She was all that she said she was She was all that she said she was I couldn't want for more but all I want is more I just want her more and more and more and more and more But she's untouchable And I lay my head down, I lay my head down And then she's lovable Who were you with last night? I said, Who were you with last night? Were you thinking of me? And where you thinking of me? Unforgivable sin, unforgivable sin, unforgivable You're untouchable And I lay my head down I lay my head down She coming my way Oh she coming my way I don't know what to say She coming my way She fading away She fading away Yeah I lay my head down I lay my head down She coming my way Oh she coming my way I don't know what to say She coming my way Now she's fading away She fading away She was, she was She was, she was She's fading away She's fading away She's fading awayShield
Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream While the children play in the field Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life But how strong is the shield? Can peace be found on the carpet above ground? Where sky is forever blue? So let it pass baby now The slow and riding cloud which may take me from you Many things a man can lose His self, his rights, his views but never his heart or his love So take this hand of mine And climb, baby, climb to the hill up above Now you can play a queen on the hill built on a dream While our children play in the field I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life And trust in the strength of the shield So trust in your love and we'll see up above And let light pass like a wheel Don't take the chance of life's sacred dance Kiss the strength of the shield The seeker will be found By the look on the ground and to his wish he will yield Fate will have it's word, of course But time will change its course and hold the strength of the shieldShow Me The Way To Go Home
--- instrumental ---Sitting In A Dream
I'm just passing time before the Ball Playing my guitar I don't have to be where I don't want to be at all Maybe I'll go far Going nowhere, sitting in a dream... Ah, in a dream Sitting in a landscape full of sighs Dream away the day Making up a tune about the blueness of the skies This is where I'll stay Going nowhere, sitting in a dream... Oh, in a dream Watching as a red and white balloon Sails across my mind In between the images that drift along my tune Smile as they unwind Going nowhere, sitting in a dream... Ah, in a dreamSlow Train
How can you live in such a state? Your mind is empty and you're full of hate The things you say and the things you do Mark you down as a helpless fool I know, I know, I know, I know It's gonna be all right through the night Tomorrow comes and you're full of shame Oh baby!

We all came out to Montreux On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile We didn't have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water, fire in the sky They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky & Claude was running in and out Pulling kids out the ground When it all was over We had to find another place But Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race Smoke on the water, fire in the sky We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty cold and bare But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside Making our music there With a few red lights and a few old beds We make a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know we'll never forget Smoke on the water, fire in the skySmooth Dancer
Black suede, don't mean you're good for me Black suede, just brings your mystery I want to be inside of you But you're black and I don't know what to do You're a smooth dancer But it's alright Cos I'm a freelancer And you can never break me though you try To make me think you're magical Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun Because it don't shine nightly Don't you look at me because I'm gonna shake free You'd better hang on tightly You wanna rule the world, but you're acting like a girl Who's got a false pregnancy You've swollen up inside with nothing but your pride And yet you keep on dancing Black suede, don't waste your time on me Black suede, I sense your mockery I tried to go along with you But you're black and I know just what to do You're a smooth dancer But it's alright Cos I'm a freelancer And you can never break me though you try To make me think you're magical I think you're crazy, your two-timing ways They don't bother me none You'd better do it right because one day or night I'm gonna walk to freedom You know I loved you once and I wanna love again But you don't give nothing You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize Baby, I ain't bluffing Black suede, don't waste your time on me Black suede, don't bring me misery I tried to be inside of you But you're black and now I know what to do You're a smooth dancer But it's alright Cos I'm a freelancer And I can tell you're faking though you try To make me think you're magical Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun Bacause it don't shine nightly Don't you look at me because I'm gonna shake free You'd better hang on tightly You know I loved you once and I wanna love again But you don't give nothing You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize Baby, I ain't bluffing Baby, you can rock'n'roll But you can never show your soul, smooth dancerSoldier Of Fortune
I have often told you stories About the way I lived the life of a drifter Waiting for the day When I'd take your hand And sing you songs Then maybe you would say Come lay with me love me And I would surely stay But I feel I'm growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune Many times I've been a traveller I looked for something new In days of old When nights were cold I wandered without you But those days I thougt my eyes Had seen you standing near Though blindness is confusing It shows that you're not here Now I feel I'm growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune Yes, I can hear the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortuneSolitaire
Door, don't close the door I want to feel the cold I want to see the light Momma, where you gone? This is no dream Can't make it right if it's wrong Your dancing with strangers, your fighting with friends It's a matter of time between love and despair Falling over the line, empty hearts and icy stares Ooh call me Solitaire! Oouh! The eyes in the face of the wall Follow me 'round the room Follow me everywhere A heart without an echo A man without a child, alone with all my sorrow Your dancing with strangers, your fighting with friends It's a matter of time between love and despair Falling over the line, empty hearts and icy stares Ooh call me Solitaire! Oouh oouh oouaah! It's a matter of time between love and despair Falling over the line, empty hearts and icy stares Oh call me Solitaire, Solitaire, Solitaire! Ouh ouh Solitaire!Somebody Stole My Guitar
Remind me to tell you 'bout the old silver miner Name of Hard Rock Pete, had his house built on a slope They say one of his legs lived in Calico And there's a rumour going round that the other lived in hope So I walked in the room and I stopped I turned around and looked over my shoulder And a voice close beside me said "You'd better watch your head, the party is over" Somebody stole my guitar They took it from the back seat of my car It wasn't long before the waitress came over and said "Can I freshen up your drink? And have you heard of these boys? And if you feel inclined to buy some cowboy boots? Well it's not that bad, we can talk above the noice" So I sucked on my beer Shut my eyes and tried to listen to the words I know I missed the meaning But the message was something I'd already heard Somebody stole my guitar They took it from the back seat of my car Johnny Ringo's voice is getting deeper And now he's going to put another lock on the door The night is getting later, my head is getting lighter The mood is getting darker, Tequila being poured So I smile at the old gunslinger In his frame on the wall as he pushed back his hat And it's all coming back I'd cut a long story short but it's much too late for that Somebody stole my guitar They took it from the back seat of my car I was sleeping in Memphis in my hotel room Somebody stole my guitarSometimes I Feel Like Screaming
While you were out... the message says You left a number an' I tried to call But they wrote it down in a perfect Spanish scrawl Perfect Spanish scrawl Yet again, I'm missing you King size bed in a hotel someplace I hear your name, I see your face I see your face Yeah... Back street dolls and the side door Johnnies Wide eyed boys with their bags full of money Back in the alley going bang to the wall Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl Heaven wouldn't be so high, I know If the times gone by hadn't been so low Best laid plans come apart at the seams Shatter all my dreams Sometimes I feel like screaming, close my eyes It's times like this my head goes down The only thing I know is the name of this town Name of this town Yet again, I'm missing you Won't be long, I'm coming home 'Til that distant time, I'll be moving on I'll be moving on Back street dolls and the side door Johnnies And the wide eyed boys with their bags full of money Back in the alley going bang to the wall Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl Heaven wouldn't be so high, I know If the times gone by hadn't been so low Best laid plans come apart at the seams Shatter my dreams It's all in the mind Ouh it's all in the mind It's all in the mind It's all in the mind Ouh Back street dolls and the side door Johnnies It's all in the mind Wide eyed boys with their bags full of money Back in the alley going bang to the wall Aaah... Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl Heaven wouldn't be so high, I know All in the mind If the times gone by hadn't been so low Best laid plans come apart at the seams Aaah... Shatter my dreamsSon Of Alerik

Sometimes I sit and wonder Sometimes I just sit I hope you all know what you're doing Anyway, who is driving this thing? Did you know the warriors of the flat earth Have become the tyrants of the globe? It's round about that time again She cried "It's all for one of my friends" All my dreams are forgotten when you leave me on the shelf I can think of nothing better than to sit here by myself Least remembered, soon forgotten Didn't matter anyway How can I ever miss you if you never go away? I'm amazed by the way how are you I'm amazed how could you It wasn't that good to start with Anyway, nothing's quite that simple Did you know the warriors of the flat earth Have become the tyrants of the globe? It's round about that time again She cried "It's all for one of my friends" All my dreams are forgotten when you leave me on the shelf I can think of nothing better than to sit here by myself Sometimes I sit and wonder Sometimes I just sit I hope you all know what you're doing Anyway, who is driving this thing?

There once was a woman A strange kind of woman The kind that gets written down in history Her name was Nancy Her face was nothing fancy She left a trail of happiness and misery I loved her Everybody loved her She loved everyone and gave them good return I tried to take her I even tried to break her She said I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn I want you I need you I gotta be near you I spent my money as I took my turn I want you I need you I gotta be near you Ooh I got a strange kind of woman She looked like a raver But I could never please her On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go far I couldn't get her But things got better--she said Saturday nights from now on baby you're my star She finally said she loved me I wed her in a hurry No more callers and I glowed with pride I'm dreaming I feel like screaming I won my woman just before she died I want you I need you I gotta be near you I spent my money as I took my turn I want you I need you I gotta be near you Ooh I had a strange kind of womanStrangeways
strange strange i was born into confusion my mother said to me when you become a man you'll understand but it's still a mystery and if you want to get ahead get some decent clothes the only way to make it dress the part that gets right up my nose and it think to myself in this river of doubt this is something i can do without but strangeways is what i got the indians are coming i saw it on tv they're 20,000 strong but they always get depleted by the cavalry salvation is at hand it's guaranteed just send a donation straight to god 1-800 toll free and i think to myself in this academy of fear where am i going what am i doing here but strangeways is all i got have you seen the headlines princess engaged 3 million out of work but that's on the 2nd page the alien has landed finger in his ear can't hear a word i am saying but that ain't such a bad idea and i think to myself in this cradle of lust ashes to ashes and dust to dust but strangeways is all you getSuper Trouper
I was a young man when I died I was a flash, I was full of pride I gave it all, I gave my soul, I was so strong I felt the truth, I felt the pain in every song How well you know me You've seen me cry I'm just a shadow In a rock and roll sky I was living in a rock and roll sky I was a king, heavy on the style Super trouper, yes I know you well, making me shine I couldn't see what you did to me. I was so blind How well you know me You've seen me cry I'm just a shadow In a rock and roll sky I wanna be like I was before But this time I'm gonna know the score I need a home I can leave behind knowing you're there Super trouper, I can see you now, return your stare How well you know me You've seen me cry I'm just a shadow In a rock and roll sky
