1. _ Star-crossed
I met her in a shooting gallery, speeding like a goose
Back when both of us were used to making strangers
She shook me down for all i had and every way but loose
But i was still too juiced to feel the danger
And anyway now, anymore you don't know which is worse
Falling out of love or left behind
I just seen the sweetest dreaming wind up like a curse
Maybe one too many times.
Chorus:
But she said, "i don't want you baby, i just want someone to hold me
I got too much rock and roll to be a wife
I can't live without the lightning and i'm scared of growing older
So i'm bound to keep on running for my life"
I've seen her roll herself into a tight and tiny ball
Like a belly-gunner crouching in a turret
I said, i recognize the symptoms, girl, i got the same disease
I just haven't got a clue to how to cure it
And any way, now, any more, you don't know who to trust
'cause love is wild as lust and just as blind
Anyone who's ever gonna love me - better fool me first
And baby, maybe, i been one too many times.
Chorus:
But she said, "i don't want you baby, i just want someone to hold me
I got too much rock and roll to be a wife
I can't live without the lightning and i'm scared of growing older
So i'm bound to keep on running for my life"

2. _ Snakebit
Don't give me no more goddamn pain
Baby, the time has turned the tide
I didn't need no ball and chain
I got the numbers on my side
I... didn't want to love you
I... swear to god it's true
I... don't like dreaming of you
But i... but damn my soul, i do.
Y'see, i got hit so hard, i thought i was dyin'
Then i fell so far, i thought i could fly
Darling from the start, if somebody's lying,
Double-cross your heart, and don't even try.
Because i... sure don't want to need you
I...'d hate to count on you
I...'m tired of going crazy, anymore
But i... but damn my soul, i do.
Don't give me no more goddamn pain
Baby, the time has turned the tide
I didn't need no ball and chain
I got the numbers on my side.

3. _ Maybe You Heard
Maybe you've heard, your ole buddy's gone crazy
Searching for words, too deep, sweet reason and rhyme
Living alone, more and more and he's prone to be lazy
Turning to stone, blasted and blind.
Chorus:
Don't turn away there, hey, goddamn you, he was your brother
Turn on your father, sister, mother, brother
He was your friend.
Don't you condemn him, leave it to strangers
You ought to know him, give him a hand, if you can
But at least for jesus christ's sake, understand him.
Maybe you've heard that they say that the lady's been changing
Day after day, more than her mind
Learning to play, where the part has her turning to strangers
Going too far, line after line.
Chorus:
Don't turn away there - hey - goddamn you, you used to love her
Turn on your father, sister, mother, mister
She was your friend.
Don't you condemn her, leave it to strangers
You ought to know her, give her a hand, if you can
But at least for jesus christ's sake, understand her.

4. _ Blessing In Disguise
Well, i guess you know
You took me by surprise
When you told me that you'd broken all the rules
And the future felt as empty as your eyes
When i realized how far i was from you.
Chorus:
But they tell me that the truth'll set you free
>from the sad confusion of your lies
And it led me to a side of you that i'd refused to see
So i guess it's been a blessing in disguise
So there's nothing left to keep us holding on, now
To the mystery we used to be before
What we ever shared together there is gone, now
And what might have been don't matter anymore.
Chorus:
But they tell me that the truth'll set you free
>from the sweet illusion of your lies
And it led me to a side of you that i'd refused to see
So i guess it's been a blessing in disguise

5. _ Magdalene
Magdalene, are you thinking of the gentle man
Who turned your life around
Magdalene. did he leave you any reason to go on
Magdalene, does it make it any better
That you know he really loved you
Magdalene, all your sins have been forgiven, and he's gone.
Magdalene, did he give you back the freedom
To be something you believe in
Magdalene, are you strong enough to make it on your own
Magdalene, i believe he loved you deeper
Than you ever dreamed of loving
Magdalene, and nobody ever left you so alone.
Oh, magdalene ...
Magdalene, are the shadows in the stillness
Of the evening full of tears
Do you wonder how much sorrow you can hold
Are you haunted by the ghost of something
Gone but not forgotten
Will it fill the empty silence when you're old.
Magdalene, are you thinking of the gentle man
Who turned your life around
Magdalene. did he leave you any reason to go on
Magdalene, i believe he loved you deeper
Than you ever dreamed of loving
Magdalene, all your sins have been forgiven, and he's gone.

6. _ Daddy's Song
I got a day without nothing to do
And a "do not disturb" on my door
I sorta looked for some mess that she'd made
Or her sweet little socks on the floor
But all that she left here was too many rooms
And just enough silence to break
And i can't look at her picture right now
Time's about all i can take.
Last night i sewed up her toys that were torn
And packed her suitcase again
She looked so sweet as she lay there asleep
Smiling and holding my hand
We didn't talk all the way to the plane
But she's too big now to cry
Then when i kissed her, she held me so tight
I couldn't tell her goodbye.
Chorus:
She said, "i wish that we lived together again
It gets so lonesome apart
I'm missing somebody all of the time
Daddy, it's breaking my heart"
It's not so bad out here living alone
Comfort's a stranger away
And there's a freedom you find on your own
That's nearly worth what you pay
It's just a shame she still wants us to be
All that we seemed to before
But we can't blame her for making believe
Something we don't anymore.
Chorus:
She said, "i wish that we lived together again
It gets so lonesome apart
I'm missing somebody all of the time
Daddy, it's breaking my heart"

7. _ I'll Take Any Chance I Can With You
We know better it was bitter, baby
Watching love become a lie
Now we're coming to that point of no returning
Do you really want to try ?
Are the reasons or the chances any better than before ?
Are we into something more than we imagined
That we really can't afford ?
Does it matter anymore ?
You're the biggest gamble that i've ever tried to win
Maybe more than i can stand to lose
But girl i never thought i'd ever feel this good again
More than i could dream of coming true
I'll take any chance i can with you.

8. _ The Devil To Pay
Go on, girl, take your chances
See how long you can go on from man to man
I can read the lines between your stolen glances
And i know it's time to fold this losing hand
'cause you're drawn to the flame
By the thrill and the shame
Of the cheating game they taught you how to play
But there's a price to that high lie you're living
And you've still got the devil to pay
Join your friends, while you got 'em
'cause you know you're getting older every day
You can't wait to let 'em take you to the bottom
And i'm getting tired of standing in your way
But when you hit the ground
Don't go lookin' around
For the pieces of the love you threw away
That's just a part of the high cost of leaving
And you've still got the devil to pay.
You've been flying so high for so long that you lied
To yourself now, most of all
Baby, all that you needed from me was the freedom to fall.
When your bright lights are gone
You'll be standing alone
And forsaken in the naked light of day
And you'll know that it's all over but the dying
And you've still got the devil to pay.

9. _ Nobody Loves Anybody Anymore
Nobody loves anybody anymore, dear
Nobody loves anybody anymore
Life ain't what it used to be
Or seemed to mean before
The moon is just the moon
The stars are only stars
And if it don't come easy, now
It ain't worth fighting for
Nobody loves anybody anymore, dear.
I'm back being me again
And you're back being you
Stronger for the loving war
That we've been through
We both took a look ahead
And closed the door
Nobody loves anybody anymore, dear
Nobody loves anybody anymore.
Maybe you believed in me
And i believed in you
Baby, we've been fooled before
Everything we ever dreamed
Ain't never ever coming true
Nobody loves anybody anymore, dear
Nobody loves anybody anymore.

10. _ The Last Time
Darling, the seasons are changing
See now, the leaves, how they die
Love needs no reason for ending
Come kiss your baby goodbye.
Darling, the last time you lied, was it really the last time
Have all the tears that you cried simply dried up and gone
All in the world you can hurt anymore is my feelings
What ever love ever was, never lasted too long.
Maybe the best of our life was the beautiful dreamin'
That conscience was destined to crumble like castles of sand
All there is left of our love is a little girl's laughter
Let her keep making believing as long as she can.
Now and again i still hear some old song, i don't want to
Is it the same over there where you found your new friends
Sometimes at night i still wake up and feel something missing
Maybe i'll never believe in forever again.
Darling, the seasons are changing
See now, the leaves, how they die
Love needs no reason for ending
Come kiss your baby goodbye.
