Live Aroun

I was lost till you were found
But i never knew how far down
I was falling
Before i reached the bottom
I was cold and you were fire
And i never knew how the pyre
Could be burning
On the edge of the ice field

And the now chilly california wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we're sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly california sand
Oh i know you belong inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded levis bursting apart
And don't you hear me crying:
"oh babe, don't go"
And don't you hear me screaming:
"how was i to know?"

I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tankful of time
Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day
And take me to another land where i don't have to stay

And i'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And i will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,
Open up the sky and let the planet that i love shine through

For crying out loud
You know i love you
For crying out loud
You know i love you
For crying out loud
You know i love you

I was damned and you were saved
And i never knew how enslaved
I was kneeling
In the chains of my master

I could laugh but you could cry
And i never knew just how high
I was flying
Ah, with you right above me

I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tankful of time
Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day
And take me to another land where i don't have to stay

And i'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And i will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,
Open up the sky and let the planet that i love shine through

For crying out loud
You know i love you
For crying out loud
You know i love your
For crying out loud
You know i love you

For taking in the rain when i'm feeling so dry
For giving me the answers when i'm asking you why
And my oh my
For that i thank you

For taking in the sun when i'm feeling so cold
For giving me a child when my body is old
And don't you know
For that i need you

For coming to my room when you know i'm alone
For finding me a highway and driving me home
And you gotta know
For that i serve you

For pulling me away when i'm starting to fall
For revving me up when i'm starting to stall
And all in all
For that i want you

For taking and for giving and for playing the game
For praying for my future in the days that remain
Oh lord
For that i hold you

Ah but most of all
For cryin' out loud
For that i love you

Ah but most of all
For cryin' out loud
For that i love you

Ah but most of all
For cryin' out loud
For that i love you

When you're crying out loud
You know i love you

Hey ricky, now mine is empty, how about one for you
We could sell it out together, seems tomorrow's overdue
Captain video, done went home, one pilot laid to rest
And dragon ladies now talk that talk, about who loves who, who loves best
Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line, it's midnight at the lost and found


Chorus:


Midnight at the lost and found, lost souls in the hunting ground
A remedy for all your ills, at the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found, midnight


Have a double, it's gettin' late, you'll get home, just rely on fate
Place just finally came alive, good old boys just arrived
Stools keep changin' faces, and the night just slips away
And like a long distance love affair, soon you've got to pay
Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line, it's midnight at the lost and found


(chorus)


Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away
Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today
Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away
Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today
Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round
Everybody get back in line, last call for the lost and found


(chorus repeats out...)


(chorus)

I want my money back
I want my money back
It's all or nothing

And nothing's all i ever get
Every time i turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out

It's always something
There's always something going wrong
That's the only guarantee
That's what this is all about

It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie, and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!

And all the morons
And all the stooges with their coins
They're the ones who make the rules
It's not a game - it's just a rout

There's desperation
There's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no detergant gets it out

And we're always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movie's over - fade to black
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!

I want my money back
I want my money back

What about love?
It's defective!
It's always breaking in half

What about sex?!
It's defective!
It's never built to really last

What about your family?
It's defective!
All the batteries are shot

What about your friends?
They're defective!
All the parts are out of stock

What about hope?
It's defective!
It's corroded and decayed

What about faith?
It's defective!
It's tattered and it's frayed

What about your gods?
They're defective!
They forgot the warranty

What about your town?
It's defective!
It's a dead end street to me

What about your school?
It's defective!
It's a pack of useless lies

What about your work?
It's defective!
It's a crock and then you die

What about your childhood?
It's defective!
It's dead and buried in the past

What about your future?
It's defective!
And you can shove it up your ass!!

I want my money back
I want my money back

It's all or nothing
And nothing's all i ever get
Every time i turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out

It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie, and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!

And we're always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movie's over-fade to black
Life is a lemon and i want my money back!

Wasted youth
Wasted youth
I remember everything!
I remember everything little thing, as if it happened yesterday
I was barely seventeen, and i once killed a boy with a fender guitar
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stratocaster
But i do remember that it had a heart of chrome, and a voice like a horny angel
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stratocaster
But i do remember that it wasn't at all easy

It required the perfect combanation of the right power chords
And the percise angel from which to strike!

The guitar bled for about a week afterwords
And the blood was zoot, dark and rich, like wild berrys
The blood of the guitar was chuck berry red
The guitar bled for about a week afterwords
But it rung out beautifly
And i was able to play notes that i had never even heard before

So i took my guitar
And i smashed it aganist the wall
I smashed it aganist the floor
I smashed it aganist the body of a varisty cheerleader
Smashed it aganist the hood of a car
Smasned it aganist a 1981 harley-davaidson
The harley howled in pain
The guitar howled in heat

And i ran up the stairs to my parents bedroom
Mommy and daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
Slowly i opened the door
Creeping in the shadows right up to the foot of their bed
I raised the guitar high above my head
And just as i was about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the center of the bed
My father woke up, screaming "stop!"
"wait a minute. stop it boy. what do you think your doing?"
"that's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument"
And i said, "god damn it daddy,"
"you know i love you, but you've got a hell of a lot to learn about rock n' roll"

objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are



The skies were pure and the fields were green
And the sun was brighter than it's ever been
When i grew up with my best friend kenny
We were close as any brothers than you ever knew
It was always summer and the future called
We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all
And there was so much left to dream and so much time to make it real


But i can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone
They said he crashed and burned
I know i'll never learn why any boy should die so young
We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
We got in trouble but we sure got around
There are times i think i see him peeling out of the dark
I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground



But it was long ago and it was far away, oh god it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are


And when the sun descended and the night arose
I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
And corroded by failure and envy and hate
There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze
Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees


And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again
I know i still believe he'd never let me leave, i had to run away alone
So many threats and fears, so many wasted years before my life became
My own
And though the nightmares should be over
Some of the terrors are still intact
I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice
And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back




There was a beauty living on the edge of town
And she always put the top up and the hammer down
And she taught me everything i'll ever know
About the mystery and the muscle of love
The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow
I'm in the back seat with my julie like a romeo
And the signs along the highway all said, caution! kids at play!


Those were the rights of spring and we did everything
There was salvation every night
We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn
But everything we tried was right
She used her body just like a bandage
She used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But i can see her rising up out of the back seat now
Just like an angel rising up from a tomb


And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

She used her body just like a bandage
She used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But i can see her rising up out of the back seat now

out of the frying pan (and into the fire)

It's only two o'clock and the temperture's beginning to soar
And all around the city you see the walking wounded and the living dead
It's never been this hot and i've never been so bored
And breathing is just no fun anymore
And then i saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that i ever said
I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that i ever said

You can feel the pulse of the pavement racing like a runaway horse
The subways are steaming and the skin of the street is gleaming with sweat
I've seen you sitting on the steps outside
And you were looking so restless and reckless and lost
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget

Come on! come on!
And there'll be no turning back
You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back
Come on! come on!
It's time to burn up the fuse
You've got nothing to do and even less to lose
You've got nothing to do and even less to lose

So wander down the ancient hallway
Taking the stairs only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat now
I'm in the room at the top, you're at the end of the line
Open the door and lay down on the bed
The sun is just a ball of desire

And i wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)

And i wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)

And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire!

It's only two o'clock and the tempertures beginning to soar
And all around the city you see the walking wounded and the living dead
It's never been this hot and i've never been so bored
And breathing is just no fun anymore
And then i saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that i ever said
I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that i ever said

Come on! come on!
And there'll be no turning back
You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back
Come on! come on!
It's time to burn up the fuse
You've got nothing to do and even less to lose
You've got nothing to do and even less to lose

So wander down the ancient hallway
Taking the stairs only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat now
I'm in the room at the top, you're at the end of the line
Open the door and lay down on the bed
The sun is just a ball of desire

And i wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)

And i wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)

And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire! fire! fire!
And into the fire!

Every night i grab some money and i go down to the bar
I got my buddies and a beer, i got a dream, i need a car
You got me begging on my knees, c'mon and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesn't live by rock 'n roll and brew alone
Baby baby, baby baby

Chorus:

Rock 'n roll and brew, rock 'n roll and brew
They don't mean a thing when i compare 'em next to you
Rock 'n roll and brew, rock 'n roll and brew
I know that you and i oh we got better things to do

I don't know who you are or what you do, or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you baby, but you're everything i'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are, but you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love

(girl:) ever since i can remember you been hanging 'round this joint
You been trying to look away but now you finally got the point
I don't have to know your name and i won't tell you what to do
But a girl - she doesn't live by only rock 'n roll and brew

Baby baby, baby baby - chorus

You got the kind of legs that do more than walk

(girl:) i don't have to listen to your whimpering talk

(boy:) listen you got the kind of eyes that do more than see

(girl:) you got a lotta nerve to come on to me

(boy:) you got the kind of lips that do more than drink

(girl:) you got the kind of mind that does less than think

But since i'm feeling kinda lonely and my defenses are low
Why don't you give it a shot and get it ready to go
I'm looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction
And i want to tell my daddy i'll be missing in action

Ever since i can remember i've been hanging 'round this joint
My daddy never noticed, now he'll finally get the point

(boy:) you got me beggin' on my knees, c'mon and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesn't live by rock 'n roll and brew alone

Baby baby - chorus

Dead ringer for love

Dead ringer for love - dead ringer (repeats 12x)

i was nothing but a lonely boy
Looking for something new.
And you were nothing but a lonely girl
But you were something
Something like a dream come true
I was a varsity tackle and a hell of a block
When i played my guitar
I made the canyons rock -- but --
Every saturday night
I felt the fever grow

Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go

In the middle of a steaming night
I'm tossing in my sleep
And in the middle of a red-eyed dream
I see you coming
Coming on to give it to me

I was out on the prowl down by the edge of the track
And like a son of a jackal
I'm a leader of the pack -- but --
Every saturday night
I felt the fever grow

Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go

Oh, baby, i'm a hunter in the dark of the forest
I've been stalking you and tracking you downr
Cruising up and down the main drag all night long
We could be standing at the top of the world
Instead of sinking further down in the mud
You and me 'round about midnight
You and me 'round about midnight
Someone's got to draw first

Draw first
Someone's got to draw first blood
Someone's got to draw first blood
Oooh i got to draw first blood
Oooh i got to draw first blood

I was out on the prowl down by the edge of the track --
And like a son of a jackal i'm a leader of the pack -- but --
Every saturday night
I felt the fever grow

Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go

I was nothing but a lonely all-american boy
Looking out for something to do
And you were nothing but a lonely all-american girl
But you were something like a dream come true
I was a varsity tackle and a hell of a block
And when i played my guitar i made the canyons rock
But every saturday night
I felt the fever grow
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go

i. paradise
Boy:

I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And i never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a
Knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! hold on tight!
C'mon! hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Girl:

Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed

Boy:

Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been waitin so long
For you to come along and have some fun

And i gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes i got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well i wanna make your motor run

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a
Knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! hold on tight!
C'mon! hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Oh it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
Paradise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you can
And let mother nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely --

We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night

We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night

Comes, he's out! no, wait, safe - safe at second base, this kid really makes

Going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying for third, here's the throw, its
In the dirt - safe at third! holy cow, stolen base! he's taking a pretty big
Lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. the pitcher glances
Over, winds up, and it bunted, bunted down the third base line, the suicide
Squeeze is on! here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the

Iii. praying for the end of time

Boy:

I couldn't take it any longer
Lord i was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's
Grave
That i would love you to the end of time
I swore that i would love you to the end of time!

So now i'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if i gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that i can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But god only knows what i can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that i can do
Praying for the end of time, so i can end my time
With you!!!

Boy:

It was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today

Girl:

It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife
