She's all alone, just lost another one
Met him yesterday and he's already gone And though tonight she'll swear it was the last time A smiling face will come that knows the right line And then she'll do all the right things with the wrong guy And when he's gone, next day she'll sit and wonder why She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one 'Cause she's afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none She has to realize that to keep one, her ways have to change some She tries too hard and she comes on too strong Digs herself too much and thinks she can't be wrong She's too impressed by things that do not matter To be the Queen of hearts is what she's after. And then she'll do all the right things with the wrong guy And when he's gone, next day she'll sit and wonder why She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one 'Cause she's afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none She has to realize that to keep one, her ways have to change some |

Your wall's too high, I can't see
Can't seem to reach you, can't set you free If you can hear me, follow the sound And help me tear your wall down to the ground Everyone gets hurt sometimes Everybody plays the game If you don't win the first time Come back and try again Rocks and bricks can't help you You can't hide behind your wall Why don't you try to jump it little girl I'll catch you if you fall Ah, sometimes early in the mornin' Without warnin' you'll realize That you ain't too wise With your head bowed down you go downtown Watch an old lady hit the ground Lots of people standin' round But nobody seems to know her You're an hour late when you reach your floor Ah, and everybody tells you That your boss is sore Watch the clock for seven more Then go flyin' through the door Back home again the day is gone You're safe and sound but still alone And when the night falls around your walls Ah, tell me don't you ever wish to go outside Follow the lights and go outside You'll be alright, just go outside |

When rain drops fall and you feel low
Ah, do you ever think it's useless Do you feel like letting go Do you ever sit and do you wonder Will the world ever change And just how long will it take To have it all rearranged Tell me why these things are still the same Tell me why no one can seem to learn from mistakes Take my hand if you don't know where your goin' I'll understand, I've lost the way myself Oh, don't take that old road it leads to nowhere We must return before the clock strikes twelve It's so easy to do nothin' When you're busy night and day Take a step in one direction And take a step the other way So don't stop tryin' when you stumble Don't give up should you fall Keep on searchin' for the passway That will lead you through the wall Don't look back or you'll be left behind Don't look back or you will never find peace of mind |

She used to dance when she had the chance
And the time it didn't matter At the end of her night, was an endless flight While her head, it was lost in the laughter A girl I knew Someone I used to talk to When we'd meet in the middle of a room A girl I knew Her world, a shade of blue Someone I used to talk to She used to sing in the night while her ring It would sparkle like Burgundy wine And the people stopped and starred But pretend she's not there She used to sing in the night while her ring It would sparkle like Burgundy wine And the people stopped and stared But pretend she's not there She used to dance when she had the chance And the time it didn't matter At the end of her night, was an endless flight While her head, it was lost in the laughter |

Take my hand sweet darlin'
Wipe that frown off your face I don't love anyone but you No one can take your place But sometimes I worry darlin' The way you seem to hog my love Just take what you need Don't empty out the store Just take what you need 'Cause I ain't got much more Took a stroll in the country Some peace of mind to find Wire fences everywhere No place to rest my mind Seems like a shame to me The way some people hog the land Repeat Chorus Took a look in the paper While tryin' to eat a bite You know I read the evenin' news And lost my appetite Some have the nerve to ask For more respect from you and me Repeat Chorus |

We'll call you when you're six years old
And drag you to the factory To train your brain for eighteen years With promise of security But then you're free And forty years you waste to chase the dollar sign So you may die in Florida At the pleasant age of sixty nine The water's getting hard to drink We've mangled up the country side The air will choke you when you breathe We're all committing suicide But it's alright It's progress folks keep pushin' till your body rots Will strip the earth of all it's green And then divide her into parking lots But there's nothing you and I can do You and I are only two What's right and wrong is hard to say Forget about it for today We'll stick our heads into the sand Just pretend that all is grand Then hope that everything turns out ok You're free to speak your mind my friend As long as you agree with me Don't criticize the father land Or those who shape your destiny 'Cause if you do You'll lose your job your mind and all the friends you knew We'll send out all our boys in blue They'll find a way to silence you But there's nothing you and I can do You and I are only two What's right and wrong is hard to say Forget about it for today We'll stick our heads into the sand Just pretend that all is grand Then hope that everything turns out ok |

What can you see with your ear on the ground
Try to lift up your feet, girl, and take a look around Let me see your eyes girl We've got to make them big If you'd like to see the truth I'd better tighten up your wig Your mind is too narrow, and it's no surprise If you fell on a pin, well, you'd be blind in both eyes Oh, let me see your head, girl, we've got to make it big Until your ears come apart, I better tighten up your wig Watch out for the lunch bunch, they'll try bring you down Don't get hung up in the shower, baby, you might drown Oh yeah, oh, your head looks kinda big Before I loose you mind, girl, I better tighten up your wig Just before we go, I'd like to mention Junior Wells We stole his thing from him, and he from someone else Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he plays the blues like few before May he play forevermore |

If I could show you where I've been
Perhaps you'd know and never ask again Could I forget the things I've seen Perhaps I'd smile and we would be the same I can't return to where you're goin' What I have learned, it can't be undone Don't blame yourself, don't you know It was none of your doin' All my faith got caught in a maze Lost our dreams in a far a way place Now that I have seen you again Can't believe your world's still the same Sometimes I slip into the past When life was sweet I thought that it would always last It was so easy to believe that all is well They always catch the thief I can't return to where you're goin' What I have learned, it can't be undone Don't blame yourself, don't you know It was none of your doin' |

Humanity grew weary
Of it's doubtful state of mind So it summoned from far and called from near All the wise men thought to be sincere To heal it's wounds and make it whole And the lead the way back to the soul The charlatans they stayed behind To count their bags of gold And some stayed away as if to say I know that my way's the only way Afraid to learn they may be wrong They preach their nothingness at home But the wise men came together with the hope to free man kind Of the rubbish that had gathered in god's name To embrace and trust each other in the search for the supreme And they found that all their teachings were the same And when at last the word went round That all were one and all Many returned to seek the light Nobody claimed that he was right It's sad to know it's just a song To dream and hope still can't be wrong |

Starin' at the boob tube, turnin' on the big knob
Tryin' to find some life in the waste land Fin'ly found a program, gonna deal with Mary Jane Ready for a trip into hate land Obnoxious Joe comes on the screen Along with his guest self-righteous Sam And one more guy who doesn't count His hair and clothes are too far out While pushin' back his glasses Sam is sayin' casually "I was elected by the masses" And with that in mind he starts to unwind A vicious attack on the finest of grasses Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty (Don't step on the grass, Sam) And it will ruin our fair country (Don't be such an ass, Sam) Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny (You're so full of bull, Sam) All will pay that disagree with me (Please give up you already lost the fight, alright) Misinformation Sam and Joe Are feeding to the nation But the one who didn't count counted them out By exposing all their false quotations Faced by a very awkward situation This is all he'd say to save the day Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty (Don't step on the grass, Sam) And it will ruin our fair country (Don't be such an ass, Sam) Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny (You're so full of bull, Sam) All will pay that disagree with me (Please give up you already lost the fight alright) You waste my coin Sam, all you can To jail my fellow man For smoking all the noble weed You need much more than him You've been telling lies so long Some believe they're true So they close their eyes to things You have no right to do Just as soon as you are gone Hope will start to climb Please don't stay around too long You're wasting precious time |

I like to dream
Yes, yes right between the sound machine On a cloud of sight I drift in the night Any place it goes is right Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here Well, you don't know what we could find Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride? Well you don't know what we could see Why don't you tell your dreams to me?, fantasy will set you free. Last night I held Aladdin's lamp, so I wished that I could stay. Before the thing could answer me well someone took, Took the lamp away I looked around a lousy can was all I found. Close your eyes girl, look inside girl, let the Sound take you away |

Words and music by John Kay
So, once again I hurt someone Because I found out that she's not the one I'm looking for So, once again I blame someone Because I know that she can't use the love I have in store And now she's gone And I'm glad her story ends Still I wish I had been kinder We could have parted just like friends So, one more time I've played, lost the game Another face in the past, without a name Back in the night to find a light And hoping this time I'll be right I know you don't know me But I need your company Don't wanna be alone tonight You can trust me girl You'll be alright Looked at me with big brown eyes She said "yes" to my surprise And now I call her in the morning And I see her every night I see her in the evening And when I'm with her, I'm alright Copyright MCA Music (BMI) All rights for the USA controlled and administered by MCA Corporation of America, INC |

Rise to greet the morning light
Can't find my shoes But that's alright All I knew just flew out the window All I had gathered Won't let my mind grow I don't know but I feel lighter Everything around me Seems much brighter Red and green, in between Think I'm going crazy Everybody movin' much too slow 'Cause all I want is to be near you All I need is your sweet love I don't know which way to go You've changed the world around me Don't let go, I can't get enough Night time just dropped by Back to hide the ugly for a while When the lights go on, we go out Down to a place where the music's loud Shake your money maker Shake it all around Shake your money maker Why don't you let it all hang down Shake your money maker Shake it just for me Shake your money maker Why don't you let yourself be free Every time I see her dancing Makes me want to jump with joy The way she moves makes my heart break Just one look and I'm her toy Don't know why she makes me feel Like a different guy Shake it Take it Shake it Take it Purple sound baby, can you feel it Swirlin' 'round, I don't know Scream out loud baby Let your mind roll off the ground You might never feel this way again |

I awoke on the morning after
While the sun was rising through her hair Then my world, it was filled with golden laughter When my heart told me that some love still lives there |
