Stranger In A Strange Land
The honest spirit's been blue iced, it's chilling me to the bone
Maybe now it's right, yeah, I think that it's time to go
Every nation all around feeling kind of weird
Faster than both light and sound, I think I'm gonna disappear

Cos I'm a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger, a solitary man
All alone I stand, just a stranger in a strange land

By the time you hear my voice I already will be gone
I don't have much choice, I already stayed too long
In another place and time, I'll find where I belong
Until that day arrives I guess I'll be moving on

Cos I'm a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger, a solitary man
All alone I stand, just a stranger in a strange land, yeah, yeah

No matter where I go I feel like a refugee
I guess somewhere I know, there's got to be a place for me
I feel so lonely, yeah, no matter where I go
Feel like a stranger, yes I do, yes I do, I feel like a stranger

I'm a stranger in a strange land, yeah, yeah
Just a stranger, a solitary man
I'm a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger, a solitary man
Yeah, yeah, feel like a stranger
I feel like a, feel like a stranger

Love Doesn't Last
Two names on a screwed up piece of paper
Two smiles on a photograph
Two souls living as one, so easy to tear apart

There's no fool like a young fool
Ain't no school can teach you that cool
Ain't no love like your first love
It's gets you here in your heart

I never thought it could end like this
With my back against the wall, so tall
Make me wish that the first kiss never happened at all

You knew from the start
Right here in your heart
That love doesn't last
Right here in your heart

Forever after is a long, long time
But the happy ones are blind to the kind of deal they sign
When your life is on the line
Now the words have all been said and the tears have all been shed
And the lawyers fly in lazy circles up above your head

But you still got your heart
They can't take your heart
You knew from the start
That love doesn't last right here in your heart

Come on and lose it again
There's no fool like a young fool
Ain't no school can teach you that kind of cool
Ain't no love like your first love
It's gets you here in your heart

You should have listened to your heart
You should have listened to your heart

Suzie
I just saw Suzie the other day, man she was looking fine
She's the one that I want, baby she's a right on time
Suzie won't tell a soul when I want her love
I get so out of control when I need a little ass
Suzie you make me feel
Suzie you make me feel

There she is in red high heels on her heart shaped bed
Holding on to teddy bear, I wish it was me instead
Little Suzie on a sandy beach wearing a piece of string
Does the girl know how I feel, showing me everything
Suzie you make me feel
Suzie you make me feel

Well, I run right home after school, I get there quarter to four
I say, "Hi," to my mom and dad then I go and lock the bathroom door
My mom gets so upset and daddy says it's just a stage
All I know is when I need the girl, I go in front of the page
Suzie you make me feel
Suzie you make me feel
Suzie you make me feel
Suzie you make me feel

Keep your shoes on, babe
I said Su-Su-Su-Su-Su-Su-Suzie, yeah
I love it, I love it
Spank the monkey baby, spank the monkey - Suzie
She's as tight as you want, ha, ha
She's as tight as you want, yes she is, hey, hey
Suzie - Suzie, I really love the girl

Bridges Under The Water
I, who, I

Got a girl with black hair
Got a red head and she's a Deadhead too
Got a two-tone blonde and one that matches
But I ain't got you

I've had too many years of one-night stands
Too many just good friends
Too many ships that sank in the night
And never sail again

There are bridges under the waters but love that fly and amen
I'm looking for love not a lover, a love that doesn't have to end

I've had too many years of one-night stands
Too many just good friends
Too many ships that sank in the night
And never sail again

Now I'm ready, ready for love
Ain't no doubt about it, I'm looking for love
And I'm looking for you and I'll be looking for me

Bridges under the water - hello, good-bye and amen
I'm looking for love not a lover, a love that doesn't have to end

I've had too many years of one-night stands
Too many just good friends
Too many ships that sank in the night
And never sail again

And I'm ready, ready for love
Ain't no doubt about it, I'm ready for love
I followed you to the gates of hell
I followed you to the Bates motel
I'm ready, ready for love
And I'm looking for you, but are you looking for me
Said I'm ready, ready for your love
Ain't know doubt about it, babe, I'm ready for love
Baby, baby, baby I'm ready, ready for love
Hey baby

Heartache
Well, it looks like the party's over
Lose the feeling and you head for cover
You never told me why I had to go
Well, there's one thing, baby, that I want you to know
Too many nights I lie awake crying for your love
But you don't care, my hearts about to break - oh, here it comes

I feel a heartache coming on
I feel a heartache and it's coming on

What is the reason that you keep me down
Well, I feel like Custer, at the Little Big Horn
You shot your arrow straight through my heart, through my heart
And you left me here to die for love and it's tearing me all apart
Took away all that I had when you took away your love
Did you have to leave me, oh, so glad - oh, here it comes

I feel a heartache coming on
Feel a heartache and it's coming on, here it comes

I feel a heartache, oh, coming on
Said I feel, said it cuts me deep, cuts me wide, cuts me deep 
I feel a heartache and it's coming on
I feel a heartache and it's coming on
Feel a heartache and it's coming on
Feel a heartache and it's coming on, coming on, coming on, here it comes

Billy
Billy and me, we've been friends since '65
Thought those days would never end, man we were so alive
Now I'm bald, look a little bit older, gone our separate ways
Hey boy, if you're still out there, I'm thinking about you today

Oh, where does the time go
Oh, where does the time go

Billy was a fighter, yeah, he could knock them out
Whenever I got myself in trouble you taught me what a friend was about
But now I hear he's moved up north with his wife and kids
Hey boy, if you're still out there, I was a remembering

Oh, where does the time go
Oh, where does the time go

Keeps on slipping away, ooh yeah
Nothing stays the same, oh no

Oh, me and Billy
Oh, where does the time go
Oh, where does the time go - keeps slipping away
Oh, where does the time go - keeps slipping away
Me and Billy
Keeps slipping away, keeps slipping away, keeps slipping away

Life After Love
I used to feel I was shooting blanks at an Amazon
Your body was always the state of the arch
You came on like a blitz, you hit me and now you're gone
Your love's made a bombsite of my heart

Can you tell me, somebody please - is there life after love
Somebody please - is there life after love

I used to dream we were Josephine and Napoleon
When you said, "Not tonight," you stole my life
You had more to hide than the trunk of a DeLorean
You were the Greece abortion all the time

Can you tell me, somebody please - is there life after love
Somebody please - is there life after love

You got me dancing about on a high wire
Just one false move and I'll bolt into hell's fire

Can you tell me, somebody please - is there life after love
Somebody please - is there life after love

Is there life after love, is there life after love
Is there life after love, is there love
Is there life after love, is there life after love
Is there life after love, is there love
Hey, is there life after love, is there life after love
Is there life after love, is there love
Is there life after love, is there life after love
Is there life after love, is there love
Is there life after love, is there life after love
Is there life after love, is there love - somebody please
Is there life after love, is there life after love
Is there life after love, is there love

Hurricane
The way you walk, the way you smile, the way you mess your hair
Your kind of talk, it's only you can make me stop and stare
Across the room you cross your legs, I cross my heart and swear
I hold my breath, I close my eyes, it's just not fair

Your love, your love is like a hurricane
Your love, your love is like a hurricane

When I look in your eyes I'm in the eye of the storm
Tell me truth, tell me lies, you make me glad to be born
Thoughts of love in the night come rumbling through my brain
You're like an animal, girl it's physical, I'm never tame

Your love, your love is like a hurricane
Your love, your love is like a hurricane

I wanna feel you crashing down
It's like thunder, it's like lightning
I wanna feel you crashing down on me, yeah
Whoa, baby, baby, your love

Your love, your love is like a hurricane
Your love, your love is like a hurricane
Your love, your love is like a hurricane
Your love, your love is like a hurricane

Blow on me, blow on me, blow on me, blow on me
Blow on me, blow on me - your love
Blow on me, blow on me - your love is like a hurricane
Blow on me, blow on me, blow on me, blow on me
Blow on me, blow on me, blow on me, blow on me
Blow on me, blow on me - your love
Blow on me, blow on me - your love is like a hurricane
Blow on me, blow on me, blow on me, blow on me
Blow on me, blow on me - your love
Blow on me, blow on me - your love is like a hurricane

Too Much Too Soon
I should have seen it coming
I should have known right away
I should have started running
Everybody told me
I should have known from the start what you were up to
I should have known better then - now I do

Too much too soon, too much too soon

You got me feeling things I can't afford
No matter what you get you want too much
Well, baby, what's a boy to do
Well now, don't talk to Samson
When I move too fast you want to jump
Well, baby, better buy me out

Too much too soon, too much too soon
Too much too soon, too much too soon

I can not feel that I'm hurting, no
What else can I say
I can not feel and it's too much, too soon
Well, baby, gotta get away

Too much too soon, too much too soon
Too much too soon, too much too soon
Too much too soon, too much too soon

Last Song
I go where the music takes me
A turn, the music takes me home
She knows she can never shake me
The longest love I've ever known

Now I can't stop, stop living this life one note at a time
The words you speak begin to rhyme
Just one more song, one more time
This is the last song, this is the last song

I go where the music takes me
A turn, the music takes me home
She took this kid from the last gig
And put a man beside the door

Now I can't stop, I never want to stop, stop playing
I'm alive, I'm the survivor
Still standing where giants have stood
They're bleeding now, if only they could
You think they're loud enough to wake the dead - maybe they would

Home is where the music takes me
This is where the music takes me home
Home is where the music takes me

She's a hard mistress, she never lets you go
Now you can't stop, stop living your life one note at a time
This is the end of the line
We're out of songs, we're out of time

It's time to say good night
We wish you all good night
This is the last song
This is where the music takes me home
This is the last song
We wish you all good night - good night

Country Hurricane
Your love is like a hurricane
Your love is like a hurricane
I said your love is like hurricane
Your love is like a hurricane
Now marry sheep
