TOO SCARED TO RUN Too scared I could not run I could not make a sound Lights were flashing My whole life passing My feet were stuck to the ground Too light to call it night Too dark to call it day Too scared to stay and fight Too scared to run away So scared I could not move I could not make a sound There were people running People shouting Flashes all around Too scared to run Too scared to run away Too scared I could not think My eyes could not scarcely see My heart was racing My legs were shaking They would not carry me Lights were flashing My whole life passing My heart, my heart My heart was racing My life was shattered Could not see, I could not see
CHASING SHADOWS Seen from the shadows Deep in the night I know you're near But you're nowhere in sight Seen from the darkness Down in the streets I hear your footsteps I hear your heartbeat Oh, I can hear your heartbeat A misty corner Away from the light I know you're near But you're nowhere in sight On my shoulder I feel you're near I feel you moving But you never appear Chasing shadows Chasing something I can't see Chasing shadows Will I ever be free Chasing shadows Enter to take this pain away Chasing shadows I'm just a victim of the night The night Hooked in darkness You play at your game I hear you breathing Call at your name Closer, closer, I feel you so near You're just a shadow But you never appear Chasing shadows Chasing something I can't see Chasing shadows Will I ever be free Chasing shadows Enter to take this pain away Chasing shadows Another victim of the night The night Shadows in the night Seen from the darkness Deep in the night I know you're here You're nowhere in sight On my shoulder I know you are near I feel you moving Will you ever appear I'm chasing something I can't see Will I ever be free Shadows in the night
ON THE REBOUND On the rebound, on the rebound That's how you felt for me That's how you changed my life You cut me like a knife On the rebound, on the rebound You came, you saw, you took It only took one look And lady, I was hooked On the rebound - it's a replay ... Your love was on the rebound On the rebound You came and took my soul You came and left a hole Where your love used to be On the rebound, on the rebound You like to drown in your tears And after all these years You give your pain to me On the rebound - you came to repay On the rebound - to set you free On the rebound - to pray for me Your love was on the rebound You came to me To set you free To pray for me It's a replay You came to repay It's a replay To set you free Just a replay Your love was Just a replay
HOT NIGHT IN A COLD TOWN Sonny's out strolling, ambling slowly Washed in amber street lights A Mexican wind blows in Takin' ahold of Angelina's hair And her halo Motors running, muffling the sound Of the street talk A big deal's goin' down In another hot night In a cold town Got yourself a hot night In a cold town Johnny's got spare change in his pocket A ring and a watch To hock for a sweet ride A one way ticket Hidden in his shoe These last few hours He says he'll spend with you He's leavin' home without a trace No forwarding address He'll never have to face another Hot night In a cold town Got yourself a hot night In a cold town Well, the losers and the groovers And the corner boys Are hangin' around Runnin' in and out of doorways Up and down the stairways Stray dogs headed for the pound In another Hot night in a cold town Got you, got yourself a Hot night in a cold, cold town Cold town It's just another hot night In a cold town Such a cold town
I've been waiting for my lady One hour - she finally came She's been walking by my table And I'm thinking What's this viscious game To be the only one who's waiting To play that white witches game And I knew that she was waiting To cut loose on the town and meet Somebody new for a change When you're running All night with the lion Running all night with the lion... I may not recall exactly Her eyes can hurt as seen now She was sitting at my table And I'm making out like a clown Oh, she'll make me very happy When she showed her fallen again And I knew that she was waiting To cut loose on the town and meet Somebody new for a change Rock'n'rollin' ladies Good life to the games you can't win She picked right up my table Till it's time to go in There's got to be something heavy If only you'd show me a sign When something said She was waiting To cut loose on the town and meet Somebody new for a change
THAT'S THE WAY THAT IT IS I've been thinking about What you said last night And for all your fine words You still don't have it right 'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change You can scream at me But the powers that be Won't ever hear your voice 'Cause they're lost In their own importance No, they'll never hear your voice 'Cause that's the way that it is And you won't ever change it I've heard all your stories Of how the few can be strong And how you'll fight to the end Just to prove me wrong 'Cause that's the way that you are And you won't ever change it But don't come cryin' to me If your fanciful schemes Don't turn out like you planned 'Cause you're chasin' After something That keeps slippin' Through your hand That's the way that it is And you won't change it
Time has come to say goodbye To the broken memories They're locked inside like prisoners In a place that no-one sees Stayed up late with a friend of mine Southern Comfort till dawn We talked about the things of love Shoud've known from The start you arrived I'm just a prisoner Don't wanna lock myself away Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely I'm a prisoner Just when do you think love will stay It walks right out on you - out on you Tired blood runs through my veins But I can't get no sleep You lock my heart And whisper the walls This place I've got to leave I'm a prisoner Don't wanna lock myself away Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely I'm a prisoner Just when do you think love will stay It walks right out on you - out on you The sky is crying, it's raining Like the storm in my heart There ain't no music playing 'Cause I'm leaving, leaving Won't somebody set me free Take me away from this misery I get so lonely I get so lonely, lonely, lonely Won't somebody set me free Please, please, set me free
HOT PERSUASION You know you light my candle You know you load my gun You're way too hot to handle There's nothing we ain't done Give me your love Give me that hot persuasion I can't get enough Give me that hot persuasion Give it to me! I'm full of hot persuasion You face me upside down A love for all occasions You won't catch me fooling aroung Give me your love Give me that hot persuasion I can't, can't get enough Give me that hot persuasion I need to know you're near me I need you by my side You keep me tiger ready You keep me up all night Give me your love Give me that hot persuasion Oh, can't get enough Give me that hot persuasion Give me your hot persuasion I can't get enough, get enough I've done hot persuasion
SELL YOUR SOUL I got the sound that's still the reason I got the sound good and right I've spent my life with rock'n'roll I wouldn't tell a lie But if you want to touch the freedom Just let the music take you whole I'm possessed by rock'n'roll There's a thunder See it and wonder Had to play the game And change it You know we're gonna live forever You know we're never gonna die You see it's written Across the sky tonight I only tell you why Because it's been going on It's ancient We got a spotlight just for you Im possessed by rock'n'roll Hear me callling, stars are falling Taking me away Stand up - shout it out I'm possessed by rock 'n' roll Stand up - shout it out Sell your soul Stand up - shout it out Let the music take you whole Stand up - shout it out Rock 'n' roll Can't you feel we're getting stronger Getting stronger every day There ain't nothing gonna stop us Oh, there ain't no way It's like a rolling god of thunder You know it's never gonna stop You know it's gonna drag you under See me soaring Thunders roaring Things afraid again I got the sound that's still the reason I got the sound good and right I've spent my life with rock'n'roll Oh no, would I lie But if you want to touch the freedom Just let the music take you whole I'm possessed by rock'n'roll There's a thunder See it and wonder Had to play the game And change it It's gonna drag you under Gonna take you whole And your soul You gotta shout, shout, shout it out
THINK IT OVER I've had all I can take I've taken just too much I've made a big mistake That put me out of touch I don't think I can face Another single day Without your company To take this pain away So many tears ago It's then you walked away It could've been the end But I knew better I had to tell myself There'll be another day She wants to go to ??? But don't you know Can't you see There's a chance for you and me Think it over Don't believe In the things that may not be Think it over Why don't you think it over Forgetting the result I can't give it in Whispers startle you But it's not over You have to face the truth I'm still in love with you I have to make you see But it's not over Why don't you think about it, babe
