Walk On Water
Walk This Way
Amazing
I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in.
I had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins.
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane.
Tryin' to walk through
The pain.
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor.
Yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door.
I was so sick and tired
Of livin' a lie.
I was wishin' that I
Would die.
It's amazing.
With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light.
It's amazing.
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright.
It's amazing.
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight.
That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation.
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey, not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings.
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk.
But, I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk.
I was out on the street
Just tryin' to survive.
Scratchin' to stay
Alive.
It's amazing.
With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light.
It's amazing.
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright.
It's amazing.
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight.
Angel
I'm alone.
Yeah, I don't know if I can face the night.
I'm in tears
And the cryin' that I do is for you.
I want you love,
Let's break the walls between us.
Don't make it tough,
I'll put away my pride.
Enough's enough.
I'm sufferin' and I've seen the light.
You're my angel,
Come and save me tonight.
You're my angel,
Come and make it alright.
You're my angel,
Come and save me tonight.
Don't know what I'm gonna do
About this feelin' inside.
Yes, it's true.
Loneliness took me for a ride.
Without your love,
I'm nothing but a beggar.
Without your love,
A dog without a bone.
What can I do?
I'm sleepin' in the bed alone.
Baby, you're my angel,
Come and save me tonight.
You're my angel,
Come and make it alright.
You're my angel,
Come and save me tonight.
You're the reason I live,
You're the reason I die.
You're the reason I give when I break down and cry.
Don't need no reason why.
Baby, baby, baby
You're my angel,
Come and save me tonight.
You're my angel,
Come and make it alright.
You're my angel,
Come and save me tonight.
Blind Man
I took a course in Hallelujah.
I went to night school for de blues.
I took some stuff they said would cool ya.
But nothing seemed to light me fuse.
But, it's all in the past
Like a check that's in the mail.
She was a tall whiskey glass.
I was an old hound-dog that just loved to chase his tail.
Until I met a blind man
Who taught me how to see.
A blind man
Who could change night into the day.
And if-a I can,
I'm gonna make you come with me
Because, here comes the sun and we'll be chain' all the clouds away.
I've had some lovers like a joy ride.
Some things are never what they seem.
Me heaven's turned into a landslide,
I thank God I woke up from that dream.
I met a blind man
Who taught me how to see.
A blind man
Who could change night into the day.
And if-a I can
I'm gonna make you come with me
Because, here comes the sun and we'll be chasing all the clouds the way that some bees chase honey
And drink all the flowers dry.
We'll be saving us a little money
And if that doin't do it, yeah, I know the reason why.
Don't make no sense lightin' candles,
There's too much moonlight in our eyes.
I met a blind man
Who taught me how to see.
Blind man
Who could change night into day.
And if-a I can
I'm gonna make you come with me
Because, a here comes the sun.
Ain't no surprise.
Ain't no doubt about it,
Gonna open up your eyes.
Crazy
Come here, baby.
You know you drive me up the wall the way you make good on all the nasty tricks you pull.
Seems like we're makin' up more than we're makin' love.
And it always seems you got somethin' on your mind other than me.
Girl, you got to change your crazy ways,
You hear me?
Say you're leavin' on a seven-thirty train and that you're headin' out to Hollywood.
Girl, you've been givin' me that line so many times it kinda gets like feelin' bad looks good.
That kinda lovin'
Turns a man to a slave.
That kinda lovin'
Sends a man right to his grave.
I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy.
You turn it on,
Then you're gone.
Yeah, you drive me
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby.
What can I do, honey?
I feel like the color blue. . .
You're packin' up your stuff and talkin' like it's tough and tryin' to tell me that it's time to go.
But, I know you ain't wearing nothin' underneath that overcoat
And it's all a show.
That kinda lovin'
Makes me wanna pull down the shade.
That kinda lovin',
Yeah, now I'm never gonna be the same.
I got crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy.
You turn it on,
Then you're gone.
Yeah, you drive me
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby.
What can I do, honey?
I feel like the color blue. . .
I'm losin' my mind, girl
'Cause I'm goin' crazy.
I need your love, honey.
I need your love.
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby.
I'm losin' my mind, girl,
'Cause I'm goin' crazy.
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby.
You turn it on, then you're gone
Yeah, you drive me. . .
Cryin'
There was a time
When I was so broken hearted.
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine.
The tables have turned, yeah,
'Cause me and them ways have parted.
That kind of love was the killin' kind.
Listen, all I want is someone I can't resist.
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed.
I was cryin' when I met you.
Now I'm tryin' to forget you.
Love is sweet misery.
I was cryin' just to get you,
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do-down on me.
It's down on me,
Yeah, I got to tell you one thing.
It's been on my mind,
Girl, I gotta say.
We're partners in crime,
You got that certain something.
What you give to me
Takes my breath away.
Now, the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss.
If our love goes up in flames,
It's a fire I can't resist.
I was cryin' when I met you,
Now, I'm tryin' to forget you.
Your love is sweet misery.
I was cryin' just to get you,
Now, I'm dyin' just to let you
Do what you do to me.
'Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay.
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
'Til you give your heart away.
I was cryin' when I met you,
Now, I'm tryin' to forget you.
Your love is sweet misery.
I was cryin' just to get you,
Now, I'm dyin' just to let you
Do what you do down to me, baby, baby, baby.
I was cryin' I met you,
Now, I'm tryin' to forget you.
Your love is sweet misery.
I was cryin' when I met you,
Now, I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down to, down to, down to, down to. . .
I was cryin' when I met you,
Now, I'm tryin' to forget you.
Your love is sweet. . .
I was cryin' when I met you.
Dream On
Every time that I look in the mirror,
All these lines on my face getting clearer.
The past is gone,
It went by like dusk to dawn.
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay.
I know nobody knows,
Where it comes and where it goes.
I know it's everybody's sin,
You got to lose to know how to win.
Half my life's in books' written pages,
Live and learn from fools and from sages.
You know it's true,
All the things come back to you.
Sing with me, sing for the years,
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears.
Sing with me, if it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away.
Sing with me, sing for my year,
Sing for my laughter and sing for my tear.
Sing with me, if it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away.
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream yourself a dream come true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream until your dream comes true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream on, dream on, dream on, yeah.
Sing with me, sing for my year,
Sing for my laughter and sing for my tear.
Sing with me, if it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away.
Sing with me, sing for my year,
Sing for my laughter and sing for my tear.
Sing with me, if it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away.
Deuces Are Wild
Ahhh, I love to look into your big brown eyes.
They talk to me and seem to hypnotize.
They say the things nobody dares to say
And I'm not about to let you fly away.
My lover with no jet-lag,
We're stayin' up all night in my sleepin' bad.
You got a heart beatin' rhythm
From the subterrenean.
I really love you, little girl,
I don't need to explain.
I love you 'cause your deuces are wild, girl.
Like a double shot of love is so fine.
I been lovin' you since you was a child, girl.
'Cause you an' me is two of a kind.
Ahhh, I like deja vu, I feel like I been here
Or somewhere else, but you been always near.
It's you that's in my dreams I'm beggin' for,
But, I woke up when someone slammed the door.
So hard I fell outta bed
Screamin' mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread.
And the moral of the story, I can testify.
I get stoned on you, girl,
That's the best reason why.
I love you 'cause your deuces are wild, girl.
Like a double shot of love is so fine.
I been lovin' you since you was a child, girl.
'Cause you an' me is two of a kind.
Eat The Rich
Well, I woke up this morning
On the wrong side of the bed.
And how I got to thinkin'
'Bout all those things you said.
'Bout ordinary people
And how they make you sick.
Well, if corn and beans gets back on you,
I hope this does the trick.
'Cause I'm sick of your complaining about how many bills.
And I'm sick of all your bitchin' 'bout your poodles and your pills.
And I just can't see no humor about your way of life
And I think I can do more for you with this here fork and knife.
Eat the rich!
There's only one thing that they're good for.
Eat the rich!
Take one bite now, come back for more.
Eat the rich!
I've gotta get this off my chest.
Eat the rich!
Take one bite now, spit out the rest.
So I called up my head-shrinker
And I told him what I done.
He said, "You best go on a diet;
Yeah, I hope you have some fun."
And don't go burst a bubble
On the rich folks who get rude.
'Cause you won't get in no trouble
When you eats that kinda food.
Now, they're smokin' up their junk bonds
And then they go get stiff.
And they're dancin' in the yacht club
With Muff and Uncle Biff.
But, there's one good thing that happens
When you toss your pearls to swine.
Their attitudes may taste like shit,
But go real good with wine.
Eat the rich!
There's only one thing that they're good for.
Eat the rich!
Take one bite now, come back for more.
Eat the rich!
I've gotta get this off my chest.
Eat the rich!
Take one bite now, spit out the rest.
Believe in all the good things
That money just can't buy
And you won't get no belly-ache
From eatin' Humble Pie.
I believe in rags to riches,
Your inheritance won't last
So take your Grey Poupon, my friend
And shove it up your ass.
Eat the rich!
There's only one thing that they're good for.
Eat the rich!
Take one bite now, come back for more.
Eat the rich!
I've gotta get this off my chest.
Eat the rich!
Take one bite now, spit out the rest.
Eat the rich!
There's only one thing that they're good for.
Eat the rich!
Take one bite now, come back for more.
Eat the rich!
Don't stop me now, I'm goin' crazy!
Eat the rich!
That's my idea of a good time, baby!
Livin' On The Edge
There's somethin' wrong with the world today,
I don't know what it is.
Something's wrong with our eyes
We're seein' things in a different way and God knows it ain't his.
It sure ain't know surprise.

Love In An Elevator
Workin' like a dog to de boss man.
Workin' for de company.
I'm bettin' on the dice I'm tossin',
I'm gonna have a fantasy.
But, where am I gonna look?
They tell me that love is blind.
I really need a girl like an open book
To read between the lines.
Love in an elevator,
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down.
Love in an elavator,
Lovin' it up 'til I hit the ground.
Jacki's in the elevatory.
Lingerie, second floor.
She said, "Can I see you later
And love you just a little more?"
I kinda hope we get stuck,
Nobody gets out alive.
She said, "I'll show you how to fax in the mailroom, honey,
And have you home by five."
Love in an elevator,

Gonna be a millionaire.

And have me a love affair.

It's a test that I gotta pass.
I'll chase you all the way to the stairway, honey,
Kiss your sassafras.

Walk On Water
High class.
Moolah.
Bolt ons.
Fast car.
Quick fix.
Freak out.
Nose bleed.
Skull cap.
Pissed off.
Pissed on.
I never seen a smile that looked so sad
'Cause you make me feel so good 'cause you're so bad.
Hey, little darlin'.
Your love is legendary.
Love's four letters
Ain't in my dictionary.
'Scuse my position,
But, it ain't missionary.

Walk on the water with you.

Hot pants.

Walk This Way
Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers,
Still I talked to your daddy, he say.
He said you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin,
Then you're sure to be a changin' your ways.
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder,
Oh the times I could reminisce.
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin,
Only started with a little kiss.
Like this!
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school,
And your feet flyin' up in the air.
Singin' hey diddle diddle,
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care.
So I took a big chance at the high school dance,
With a missy who was ready to play.
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin',
And I knowed love was here to stay.
When she told me to
Walk this way.
Walk this way.
Walk this way.
Walk this way.
Walk this way.
Walk this way.
Walk this way.
Walk this way.
Just gimme a kiss.
Like this!
Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy,
Little skirts climbin' way up your knee.
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker,
When I noticed they was lookin' at me.
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady,
Till the boys told me somethin' I missed.
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor,
So I gave her just a little kiss.
Like this!
