I hit the road out of nowhere
I had to jump in my car
And be a rider in a love game, following the stars
Don't need no book of wisdom
I get no money talk at all
Van Halen
I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I've seen the
toughest around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches
to get to what's real
Oh can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record
machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. Jump !
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Aaa-ohh Hey you ! How said that ?
Baby how you been ?
You say you don't know, you won't
know
until we begin.
Well can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record
machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.

(keyboard solo)
Might as well jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Get it and jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Killing
Me Softly
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he
had a style.
And so I came to see him to listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.
I felt all flushed with fever, emberrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.
He sang it as he knew me in all my dark despair
and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
But he was there this stranger singing clear and strong.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.
He was strumming there,
yea, he was singing my life.
Killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song.
I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls
apart. Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.
Chorus:
Listen to your heart when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why, but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea. They're swept away and nothing is what is seems, the feeling of belonging to your dreams.
<Chorus>
And there are voices that want to be heard. So much to mention but you can't find the
words. The scent of magic, the beauty that's been when love was wilder than the wind.
<Chorus, Chorus>
Mama
I can't see you mamaManiac
Just a small town girl on a Saturday night
Looking for the fight of her life in the real time world
No one sees her at all they all say she's crazy
Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She had danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance
2-It can cut you like a knife if the fight becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be
1-She's a maniac, maniac on the floor (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
(rpt 1)
On the ice blue line of insanity is a place most never see
It's a hard won place of mystery, touch it but can't hold it
You work all your life, for that moment in time
It could come or pass you by it's a push shove world
But there's always a chance if the hunger stays the night
There's a cold kinetic heat
Struggling stretching for the peak
Never stopping with her head against the wind
(rpt 1, 1, 2, 1...)
My Heart Will Go On
Every night in my dreams
I see you. I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never go till we're one
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
There is some love that will not
go away
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
ORDINARY WORLD
Came in from a rainy Tuesday night on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What's happening to it all?
"Crazy!" some say
Where is the life that I recognize? Gone away
(Chorus)
But I won't cry for yesterday,
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world, I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to stay
Pride will tear us both apart
Well, now pride's gone out the window
Crossed the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
"Crazy!" some may say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away
(Repeat Chorus)
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
hey he-he-he-he-he-he-hey oh oh
Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
ooh ooh, here, beside the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
Just blowing away
And I don't cry for yesterday,
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world, I will learn to survive
Every world is my world, I will learn to survive
Any world is my world, I will learn to survive
Any world is my world, every world
It's a world, every world...

Hey-Pray
Ocean's apart
Day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice
On the line
But it doesn't start the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever?
(Chorus)
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Oh, how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted
All the times
That I thought it would last somehow
I hear the laughter
I tasted the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby?
You've got me going crazy
I wonder how
We can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby?
You've got me going crazy
(Repeat Chorus)
Well, it's not far down to paradiseSAVE A PRAYER
You saw me standing by the
wall corner of a main streetSTAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes
Words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of your thoughts are misgivings
Ooh, it makes me wonder (2X)
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the West
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices
Of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder (2X)
And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
If there's a bustle n your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed
It's just a spring clean
For the May queen
Yes there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change
The road you're on
And it makes me wonder, ooh
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady
Can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know your stairway
Lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the road,
Our shadows taller than our souls,
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard,
The tune will come to you at last
And all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's foundIf she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friendIf he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rainIf she said that's the way
It ought to be
When a man loves a womanI give you everything I've got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a womanDeep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman
I now exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby I am a manWhen a man loves a woman
