1. _ I
Holly told me, "you better give me a child"
I said, "holly, there's no way
We don't even like each other all that much
We couldn't make it one more day"
She said, "you better look out, buster
The next time you see me you're gonna pay"
I said, "holly, i'm not running anymore
But i'm on my way"
Chorus:
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
But i'm not running anymore
Well i got two circus clowns here who like to fight
They got one black eye and a bloody nose
They are the hoodlums of my third wife
Whatever i say they will oppose
I try to teach those clowns something
Like how to make it day to day
I say, "hey, you kids, i'm not running anymore
But i'm on my way"
Chorus:
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
And i'm not running anymore
Well i look in the mirror - what the hell happened to me?
Whatever i had has gone away
I'm not the young kid that i used to be
So i push the hair back out of my face
That's o.k., i knew this would happen
But i was hopin' not today
Hey baby, i'm not running anymore
But i'm on my way
Chorus:
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
And i'm not running anymore
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
And i'm not running anymore
For sure!

2. _ Miss Missy
There's a band playing down the street we could see, yeah
Movie showing down at the von lee
A church supper with grandma and grandad
Let's go out and have ourselves the best time we've ever had
Chorus:
Say goodnight, my miss missy
Goodnight, it's time to go home
Hey, i might call you later
Oh missy, girl, it's late, it's time to go home
Weight of the world's now on your head
I take back all those mean things i said
Little baby kicking down in your gut
I hope it doesn't grow up to be as crazy as us
Chorus:
Goodnight, oh my miss missy
Goodnight, it's time to go home
Hey, i might, i just might, call you later
Oh missy it's time to go home
So let's dance slow just one more time
Let me hold your face close to mine, yeah
Let's pretend that jesus has come
To take us out just one more night for fun
Chorus:
Goodnight, oh my miss missy
Goodnight, it's time to go home
Hey, i might call you later
Oh missy, girl, it's time to go home

3. _ Chance Meeting At The Tarantula
Hey, don't i know you from somewhere
Yeah, it was down in new orleans
In one of those back-street bars in the quarter
Between desire and honalee
You were dancin' with a friend of michael's
I remember how we met
You were talkin' to ol' jimmy
And you lit my cigarette
Chorus:
How come you can't remember?
This is me you're talkin' to
From may through september
It was all about me 'n you, baby
It was all about me 'n you
Well it looks like to me
That you have conveniently forgotten everything
This confusion that has surrounded you
Is this your morality and not your brain
You've got a birthmark below your navel
You wear a size seven and a half shoe
You got this rolex watch that i suspect you cobbed
From that doctor who said he loved you
Chorus:
How come you can't remember?
This is me you're talkin' to
From may through september
It was all about me 'n you, baby
It was all about me 'n you
Well you told me that you lived in the wind
Like a bird who never touched the ground
And if you did you would surely die without making a sound
"live, let's live", that's all you kept sayin'
And our summer was full of life
We're gonna send them a postcard, and show 'em what it's like to be alive
But i never wanted to leave your side
No, i just couldn't believe that you'd lie
No, i never wanted to say "good-bye" baby
Chorus:
How come you can't remember?
This is me you're talkin' to
From may through september
It was all about me 'n you, baby
It was all about me 'n you

4. _ Break Me Off Some
Babe break me off a piece of your love
Once it's on i can't seem to get enough
So keep it up keep it comin' uh what
Break me off some baby
You're wicked, baby so do what's right
Break me off a piece of that love tonight
Like a steel guitar that i love to play
Everyone loves jesus on judgment day
You get hot just like gasoline
In your cashmere shirt and your cut-off jeans
I've been workin' all day here's what i made
Baby what you say break me off some
Chorus:
Babe break me off a piece of your love
Once it's on i can't seem to get enough
So keep it up keep it comin' uh what
Break me off some baby
Babe break me off a piece of your love
Once it's on i can't seem to get enough
So keep it up keep it comin' uh what
Break me off some baby
Down in mexico there's a man i know
Who gave away his future for a piece of gold
He washed his hands in noah's flood
Now those mountains they're just red as blood
I left this place just to come with you
Walkin' off the mesa in some dead man's shoes
I've been workin' all day here's what i made
Baby what you say break me off some
Chorus:
Babe break me off a piece of your love
Once it's on i can't seem to get enough
So keep it up keep it comin' uh what
Break me off some baby
Babe break me off a piece of your love
Once it's on i can't seem to get enough
So keep it up keep it comin' uh what
Break me off some baby
Eie yie yie yie yie yie yie
Eie yie yie yie yie yie yie
I like the way you're movin' on the dance floor baby
I like the way you're moving' on the dance floor baby
Shake shake shake 'til my eyes are sore baby
Shake shake shake 'til my eyes are sore baby
Bounce bounce bounce 'til your body is sore baby
Bounce bounce bounce 'til your body is sore baby
Feel the heat moe z put his hands on
Chorus:
Babe break me off a piece of your love
Once it's on i can't seem to get enough
So keep it up keep it comin' uh what
Break me off some baby
Babe break me off a piece of your love
Once it's on i can't seem to get enough
So keep it up keep it comin' uh what
Break me off some baby

5. _ Days Of Farewell
Be careful how you walk
These days are evil look how you talk
I hear there are people that are listening
This mystery is up to you
So you be careful what you do
I know there are people who are wondering
Chorus:
These are the days of farewell
Halfway undecided that's our peace that's our peace
Be careful the friends you keep
He might not really be your friend
He belongs to the wishing and the wandering
Be careful too much at stake
You don't want ever to be wronged
Don't you ever let the dirty business make you clean
Chorus:
These are the days of farewell
Halfway undecided that's our peace amen amen
Glory be to god i will bless the lord at all times
His words shall continually be in my mouth with praise
For i am here today 'cause he said that i would live
There's no reason why hiv shouldn't have missed my daughter and my life
But it did through the eyes of god, he saw fit for me to be here
I will praise the lord at all times
As we live in the last days the devil will always be up under my feet
And i will praise his name
Hallelujah
Don't you pretend to be something
That you are not hear me my friend
I'll tell you what i know it will only sicken you
Let us be grateful for what you've got
Help me to know what i am not
Of my friend there are people who are wondering
Chorus:
These are the days of farewell
It's undecided it's undecided
Oh my friend oh my friend oh my friend
My friend my friend my friend
It's undecided
Too much too much too much
Too much at stake for you and me

6. _ It All Comes True
I stand here a black man i have no history
I was brought up in east chicago and i grew up on the streets
The chains around the playground were the chains around my heart
The brand upon my shoulder well it reminds you who you are
Chorus:
And it all comes true yes it all comes true
Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you
And you think, what have i done? what can i do?
What you believe about yourself
It all comes true
I was just a young girl my mother called me "hon"
My father was unhappy 'cause i should have been his son
They said, "learn to be a waitress and learn to be a wife
And be thankful for a chance to live an ordinary life"
Chorus:
And it all comes true yes it all comes true
Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you
And you think, what have i done? what can i do?
What you believe about yourself
It all comes true
My life is a contradiction of sorrow and desire
I drag my heart across the ash to throw it on the fire
Maybe there's a reason and could there be a plan
Or are we all just fools to think we'll understand
Chorus:
And it all comes true yes it all comes true
Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you
And you think, what have i done? what can i do?
What you believe about yourself
It all comes true
And it all comes true yes it all comes true
Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you
And you think, what have i done? what can i do?
What you believe about yourself
It all comes true

7. _ Positively Crazy
We rode our horses in the city
Didn't we love living there
Now it's gone to those more beautiful
'cause younger is always so pretty
The marmalade the bed we made
Seemed to stretch out into forever
And we tried to stay together
Yeah we tried to stay together
Yeah, hey we had some good times
Reckless at heart but never, never unkind
In a perfect world we'd have done just fine
We're positively crazy now

8. _ Summer Of Love
Exotic cars scream down the sunset of dreams
On a hot sunny afternoon
I'm in a hot dog stand
With a strange love holding my hand
And we're both playin' it real cool
Chorus:
It's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, baby
It's the summer of love
Leastways, i'm hopin' it is
So we talk about her favorite movie star or something
She says, "ya know, i've never done this before" (yeah, sure)
"i know it sounds strange, but i can't remember your name
But i remember last night on the floor"
And we both laughed like she told a joke or something
She takes her neckerchief off and wraps it around my head
And says, "hey, you"
Chorus:
It's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, baby
It's the summer of love
Leastways, i'm hopin' it is
It's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, baby
It's the summer of love
Leastways, i'm hopin' it is
So we both walk along alone
She says, "hey, mister, you sure make a strange kind of lover"
And i say "yeah"
I say "yeah"
Chorus:
It's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, baby
It's the summer of love
Leastways, i'm hopin' it is
Leastways, i'm thinkin' it just might be

9. _ Fruit Trader
Cain told abel, "brother, you'd better get busy
We got watermelon burnin' up out there in the sun"
Abel said, "cain, brother, you're drivin' me silly
Raisin' up this fruit trader bull, you know it ain't no fun"
Chorus:
We're just yellin' in the dark
We're just pissin' in the wind
From underneath the sheets that we pray from
Better let a little bit of this goodness get in
So cain rose up and he slay his brother
The human soul and violence sometimes can be the next of kin
And feelings are real in moments of desperation
When the lowest dimension of the animal is let in
Chorus:
We're just yellin' in the dark
We're just pissin' in the wind
From underneath the sheets that we pray from
Better let a little bit of this goodness get in
Ain't got no purpose, ain't got no direction, i ain't got no morals
Ain't got no politics, ain't got no particular point of view
What i've got is plenty of time on my hands, ol' skinny's playground
Hey, lord, tell me again, what you want me to do?
Chorus:
We're just yellin' in the dark
We're just pissin' in the wind
From underneath the sheets that we pray from
Better let a little bit of this beauty
Better let a little bit of this goodness get in

10. _ Your Life Is Now
See the moon roll across the stars
See the seasons turn like a heart
Your father's days are lost to you
This is your time here to do what you will do
Chorus:
Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now
Would you teach your children to tell the truth
Would you take the high road if you could choose
Do you believe you're a victim of a great compromise
'cause i believe you could change your mind and change our lives
Chorus:
Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now
Would you teach your children to tell the truth
This is your time here to do what you will do
Chorus:
Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now
Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now

11. _ Where The World Began
I'm tired of being grateful for a chance to take a dive
I'm sick of everything i do just to keep myself alive
When you cut away the skin that bears the brand
Standin' in the darkness, baby, there i am
Chorus:
Standin' in the darkness
Someone call my name out
Standin' in the darkness
Someone put the flame out
Standin' in the darkness
Baby, there i am
Where the world began
Saw the man in jamaica, he had a shadow on his back
I recalled the ring of fire, and he wore his suit of black
When the legend and the ocean meet the sand
Standin' in the darkness, baby, there i am
Chorus:
Standin' in the darkness
Someone call my name out
Standin' in the darkness
Someone put the flame out
Standin' in the darkness
Baby, there i am
Where the world began
Everyone is so fabulous, hey, we all got our gun
Old snakey's not a sinner, no, he just shows us how it's done
When you separate the wretched from the damned
Standin' in the darkness, baby, there i am
Chorus:
Standin' in the darkness
Someone call my name out
Standin' in the darkness
Someone put the flame out
Standin' in the darkness
Baby, there i am
Where the world began

Diane and jack went to the movies
They went to see richard pryor
Screamin' on his knees for his lover
How could have i been wrong about you?
How could i have been so wrong about you?

I can see it from my window
Better take it to the water
Eden is burning

Eating cream and bananas
You and me in the sunshine

It's for our own protection
I thought we were forever, me and you
But nothin's forever, i guess it's true

Eden is burning
I can see it from my window
Better take it to the water
Eden is burning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Eden is burning
I can see it from my window
Better take it to the water
Eden is burning
