1. _ Chains Around My Heart
Out of my sight
But the vision is still the same
Out of my mind
But the memory remains unchanged
Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt
Return to sender could only make things worse
Chorus
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause i've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So i can finally get on with my life
Don't ask me why
Why i've lived with this all alone
Locked up inside
And it's cutting me to the bone
Love is a stranger avoiding me
Beware of danger's the only sign i see
Chorus
Are you listening
Is there something that you'd like to say
Am i getting through
Are you just gonna leave me this way
Girl you've got to break these chains around my heart
Before it tears me in two
You've got to break these chains around my heart
That's all i am asking of you
You've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause i've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So i can finally get on with my life

2. _ Hazard
My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
That boy's not right
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies
And saw the man inside
We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream our way out of this town
No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
And never came home
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town
I think about my life gone by
How it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone, long gone
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town

3. _ Your World
The warmest day of all my life
You came to me, I held you in my hands
And something changed forever
I want you for a better time
To know the beauty of our Mother Earth
Cherish her forever
Never felt in such a hurry
So little time, so much to do
I lie awake and dream the dreams I'll share with you
This is your world now
No one can chase all your fears away
This is your world now
Trust in your heart to lead the way
I still recall a day so clear
I saw the future in my mother's eyes
Filled with tears of sorrow
The years roll by, the times do change
The truth around us harder to disguise
As we face tomorrow
So many promises were made me
So little hope remains alive
I only pray the dreams I leave you will survive
This is your world now
No one can chase all your fears away
Fight for your world now
Trust in your heart to find the way
You'll see what I'm saying / When you're on your own
The war that you're facing / Isn't yours alone
I am a man in search of reasons
Though I am still as much to blame
It's up to me to leave you more than just my name
This is your world now
No one can chase all your fears away
Fight for your world now
Trust in your heart to lead the way
This is your world now
I want to chase all your fears away
Fight for your world now
I know that somehow you'll find your way

4. _ I Get No Sleep
Got a house full of fortune and they pay me in gold
for something I'd do for free.
But there's still something missing that a man can't hold,
it's like a weight over me, so scared the thrill will be gone.
But I'm the one who keeps the pressure on,
all I've got is all I need,
but I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone...
...I know I'm not alone.
Well, I'm sick of walking 'round with blood in my eyes,
just keeping up with this town.
I'm a roadrunner racing, but I don't see the signs,
I've got to learn to slow down.
My life makes it hard to complain,
but there's time I'd take my school days back again...
...Four o'clock and I'm still counting sheep.
Love to change the system, but I'm in too deep.
I keep the pressure far away as I can,
but it still comes back again...

5. _ SuperStar
You're the queen of your own little world, you really made a splash,
got the offers rollin' in, but you're nothing more
than high paid trash.
Everybody wants to know what goes on in your head,
pity if they found out that you're lonely in your bed.
Maybe it all happened to you just a little too fast.
Won't let anybody touch you? So you do it for yourself.
Plain to see there's a woman cryin' out for help.
You're a superstar, but you don't know who you are,
and your money won't get you very far.
You're a mystery, nothing can set you free,
your demons haunt you endlessly.
You face the end of your youth in a tired little masquerade,
you talk to people with a tongue like a newly sharpened razor blade.
Yours is not a life that lets you take a look inside,
morals and convictions meet a fate of genocide,
but in the end you'll be sleeping in the bed you made.
All you want's a daddy, the one you never had,
a need for understanding aching in you bad...
...it seems so clear to me, there's something that you'd rather be.
Take a look around you now, before it's much too late,
make the choice to change, or be a victim of your fate.
All your life, you've been running from the girl inside...
...oh, but it's plain to see there's someone...

6. _ Calling You
I had a dream that you stood right in front of me
And called to me in black and white
Though I could see you / I couldn't reach you
You faded into the light
And when the sun turns a dream to reality
I'm left with such an empty space
I feel your spirit / Know that I'm near it
I swear I can see your face
Hear me calling you / Calling you
But you just don't seem to answer anymore
Am I supposed to pretend I don't feel the pain
Like it happened only yesterday
No use in trying / To stop the crying
I can't make it go away
Hear me calling you / Calling you
But you just don't seem to answer anymore
I'm calling you / Calling you
And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore
Where is the healing you promised me
Maybe this feeling will burn in me forever
Hear me calling you / Calling you
But you just don't seem to answer anymore
I'm calling you / Calling you
And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore
Calling you and I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore

7. _ Big Boy Now
I've been searching / Not the first or the last
Trying to figure out the mystery of the half empty glass
Time is turning for the rest of the world
While a temporary leap of faith helps the story unfurl
They say that hearts don't stay broken
Even though the scars remain
And eyes don't stay swollen
Even if it feels that way
Chorus
But it's not that serious / I'm a big boy now
And I'm not delirious / So don't show me how
Cause I've gotten beyond the agony
And my perspective is saving me
Never doubted what the cards would reveal
And if the joker showed his ugly face
Not that big of a deal
It's just a moment in the scheme of it all
But it's difficult to visualize when the axe starts to fall
But then a heart won't stay broken
Even on its darkest day
The right door could open
Pick you up and drift away
(Repeat Chorus)
With all the confusion
How does anybody come through
But life is illusion
And no one can tell you what you've gotta do
You know a heart won't stay broken
Even on its darkest day
The right door could open
Pick you up and drift away
(Repeat Chorus)

8. _ Lovin Emotional
Victim of temptation, can't make it go away.
You see it and you want it, baby, never hear a word I say.
You know I don't want nothing I don't deserve,
oh, no! I won't take less than I know I'm worth.
All this talking makes me feel like a monkey in a cage,
ain't no point in trying to change a man of my age.
Love unemotional, purely physical,
what I'm staying for's a mystery to me...
...the heart's invisible...is what you want from me.
People say I'm crazy, wonder why I play your game,
sure beats felling lonely, baby, but the story ends the same.
I want to feel like I'm living in a fairy tale,
don't want to be just another broken heart for sale.
Do I have to hit my knees and beg for something more?
Maybe this is not the love I've waited for...
...the girl's insatiable...
...You feel no shame in being so unkind, all touch and zero feeling,
I don't see a way of changing your mind.
Girl, this kind of life is bound to leave you all alone.
The light inside your heart is on, but no one's home...
...the soul's invisible...
...What I'm doing here's a mystery to me...

9. _ Playing with Fire
Hey, you got the look of a lonely woman's eyes,
what'cha thinking when you're standing so close to me?
Ain't no law says a man can't fantasize,
there's a secret locked up in you tight
Ooh! I'd love to turn the key.
Whoah, playing with fire...fighting my desire, baby...
...my conscience is a liar.
Oh, Lord, have mercy on the shameless sinner...!
...walking on a wire, now I...I face the crucifier,
What'cha doin' to me?
Live by rules made up by society,
but I guess I must have missed Election day
'cause so much about you looks so good to me, yeah!
for what I'm thinking I could go to jail,
but some laws are born to break...
...stakes are getting higher, now I...
...I think I'm losin' it...

11. _ Take this Heart
I've been where you are before
No one understands it more
You fear every step you take
So sure that your heart will break
It's not how the story ends
You'll be back on your feet again
Chorus
Baby, this time
There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away
No more goodbyes
There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away
The pain's still alive in you
For what one man put you through
You say that we're all the same
But I'm called by no other name
We all need a place to run
Won't you let me be the one
Repeat Chorus
Don't keep the dream in you locked outside your door
Just believe in this love
And don't be afraid anymore
I need you to please be strong
I've waited for you too long
Repeat Chorus
There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away
Oh whoah

12. _ Ride With Idol
Try to remember those ancient evenings
When all we had was just enough.
Now the pretender knows why the king is screaming.
The grief was finally just too much.
I'm going to ride with the idol
Like a creature on display,
Tied to the bottom of a cage.
Ride with the idol,
But it won't turn out the same.
I know they won't blow out the flame.
Over my shoulder, I know they're waiting.
Their dirty hands are everywhere.
And as they get closer all the pretense is fading.
The face beneath the skin is bare.
So now I ride with the idol
Like a creature on display,
Tied to the bottom of a cage, oh yeah.
Ride with the idol,
But it won't turn out the same.
I know they won't blow out the flame.
I can never learn to say no.
Won't they ever let me go?
[Guitar Interlude]
I'm going to ride with the idol
Like a creature on display,
Tied to the bottom of a cage. Oh yeah, yeah.
Ride with the idol,
But it won't turn out the same.
I know they won't blow out the flame.
Ride with the idol,
Like a creature on display,
Tied to the bottom of a cage. Oh yeah, yeah.
Ride with the idol,
But it won't turn out the same.
I know they won't blow out the flame (fade)

13. _ Keep Coming Back
You know just how to hurt me
And how to take all the pain away
Girl, you must be the devil in disguise
There were times, I think you knew
When I was so afraid of you
There's some kind of madness in your eyes
You know a place buried deep in my heart
Nobody else can see
Something in you has taken some kind of hold on me
Chorus
I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby
I don't know why I keep coming back to you
To you baby
You say we shouldn't be lovers
And I say we can't just be friends
And all this talking just makes me want you more
You've got a way of confusing a heart
That nobody else could do
Why should I try, I don't want to get over you
Repeat Chorus
I'm so in love, so in love with the games that you play
So in love, and nothing can keep me away
You've got a way of confusing a heart
That nobody else could do
Why should I try, I don't want to get over you
I don't know why I keep coming back to you
Just tell me why I keep coming back to you

14. _ Streets of Pain
She's still another party blonde who had it all her way,
now, just another hanger on with a faded resume.
He's gonna be a leading man in the Gary Cooper mold,
now, working at a pretzel stand but it's him that's getting sold.
Big dreamer gonna take the town but she's running out of time,
still singing at a sleazy lounge to a house of drooling swine.
Self satisfied narcissist with a body like a god,
he's thinking that's all there is but 'I don't want that job'.
Streets of pain, they don't hear the crying...
...never felt the tears...they just keep on lying.
Get it through your head 'cause some things never change.
Won't it finally be obvious that there's very little chance?
Can't they see it's a Greyhound bus and not their handsome prince?
Isn't anybody satisfied with the average girl next door?
Does she have to be glamorized so the world will love her more...?
...Sinking like a rock in a river...never felt so cold...
...Lower than a snake can slither,
not to mention all the stories never told.
Pretty girl becomes a socialite standing in somebody else's light.
Anything can happen late at night,
in the morning she'll be out of sight.
Made a million on a lucky streak, threw it all away as foolishly,
one of many comic tragedies, what else can there be?
So you better get on the road to the desolation station,
And you better bring all you own, it's a permanent vacation.
We're waiting here with open arms but it isn't what it seems.
Just looking for the boulevard on the trail of broken dreams...

15. _ Hands in Your Pocket
We're all victims of the system, still we love to place the blame,
we're running out of choices and there's no rules to the game.
I'm getting tired of feeling this way,
what can a single man do? what can he say?
Every day you walk the edge of a knife,
you're left with nothing at the end of your life.
They've got their hands in your pocket,
they'll take the clothes off your back...
...They'll stop you like a heart attack.
We put people into power but we fight our wars alone,
they take such good care of the rest of the world,
but, what about the folks?
At home, oh yeah! Point the finger at the man you chose,
he'll say he's sorry, but it's just the way it goes.
He sits in judgement like a king on a throne,
'till that November when he'll beg for a bone...
...Brother, don't ignore the facts...!

16. _ Chains About My Heart
Out of my sight / But the vision is still the same
Out of my mind / But the memory remains unchanged
Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt
Return to sender could only make things worse
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
Don't ask me why / Why I've lived with this all alone
Locked up inside / And it's cutting me to the bone
Love is a stranger avoiding me
Beware of danger's the only sign I see
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
Are you listening / Is there something that you'd like to say
Am I getting through / Are you just gonna leave me this way
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Before it tears me in two
You've got to break these chains around my heart
That's all I'm asking of you
You've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
