1. _ Helpless
There is a town in north ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind i still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless.

2. _ Transformer Man
Transformer man, transformer man
You run the show
Remote control
Direct the action with the push of a button
You're a transformer man
Power in your hand
Transformer man, transformer man.
Transformer man, transformer man
Sooner or later you'll have to see
The cause and effect
So many things still left to do
But we haven't made it yet
Every morning when i look in your eyes
I feel electrified by you. oh yes.
Transformer man, transformer man
Transformer man
Still in command
Your eyes are shining on a beam
Through the galaxy of love
Transformer man, transformer man
Unlock the secrets
Let us throw off the chains that
Hold you down.
Transformer man, transformer man
Sooner or later you'll have to learn
The cause and effect
So many things still left to do
But we haven't made it yet
Every morning when i look in your eyes
I feel electrified by you. oh yes.
Transformer man, transformer man
Transformer man, transformer man

3. _ From Hank To Hendrix
From hank to hendrix
I walked these streets with you
Here i am with this old guitar
Doin' what i do.
I always expected
That you should see me through
I never believed in much
But i believed in you.
Can we get it together
Can we still stand side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?
From marilyn to madonna
I always loved your smile
Now we're headed for the big divorce
California-style.
I found myself singin'
Like a long-lost friend
The same thing that makes you live
Can kill you in the end.
Can we get it together
Can we still stand side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?
Sometime it's distorted
Not clear to you
Sometimes the beauty of love
Just comes ringin' through.
New glass in the window
New leaf on the tree
New distance between us
You and me.
Can we get it together
Can we still walk side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?

4. _ Unknown Legend
She used to work in a diner
Never saw a woman look finer
I used to order just to watch her float across the floor
She grew up in a small town
Never put her roots down
Daddy always kept movin', so she did too.
Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a harley-davidson
Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind
She's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin' with the very air she breathes
The air she breathes.
You know it ain't easy
You got to hold on
She was an unknown legend in her time
Now she's dressin' two kids
Lookin' for a magic kiss
She gets the far-away look in her eyes.
Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a harley-davidson
Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind
She's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin' with the very air she breathes
The air she breathes.

5. _ The Old Laughing Lady
Don't call pretty peggy, she can't hear you no more
Don't leave no message 'round her back door.
They say the old laughing lady been here before
She don't keep time, she don't count score.
You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall.
You got to move there's no time left to stall.
They say the old laughing lady dropped by to call
And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all.
See the drunkard of the village falling on the street.
Can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet.
He loves his old laughing lady 'cause her taste is so sweet.
But his laughing lady's loving ain't the kind he can keep.
There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out the night.
There's a slipping on the stairway, just don't feel right
And there's a rumbling in the bedroom and a flashing of light
There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right.

6. _ World On A String
You know i lose, you know i win
You know i call for the shape i'm in.
It's just a game you see me play,
Only real in the way
That i feel from day to day.
Although the answer is not unknown,
I'm searchin', searchin', and how i've grown.
It's not all right to say goodbye,
And the world on a string
Doesn't mean a thing.
No, the world on a string
Doesn't mean a thing.
It's only real in the way
That i feel from day to day.
No, the world on a string
Doesn't mean a thing.

7. _ Long May You Run
We've been through some things together
With trunks of memories still to come
We found things to do in stormy weather
Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run.
Well, it was back in blind river in 1962
When i last saw you alive
But we missed that shift on the long decline
Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run.
Maybe the beach boys have got you now
With those waves singing "caroline no"
Rollin' down that empty ocean road
Gettin' to the surf on time.
Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run.

8. _ Stringman
You can say the soul is gone
And the feeling is just not there
Not like it was so long ago.
On the empty page before you
You can fill in what you care
Try to make it new before you go.
Take the simple case of the serge
Who can't go back to war
'cause the hippies tore down everything that he was fighting for.
Or the lovers on the blankets
That the city turned to whores
With memories of green kissed by the sun.
You can say the soul is gone
And close another door
Just be sure that yours is not the one.
And i'm singing for the stringman
Who lately lost his wife
There is no dearer friend of mine
That i know in this life.
On his shoulder rests a violin
For his head where chaos reigns
But his heart can't find a simple way
To live with all those things.
All those things
He's a stringman
A stringman
All those strings to pull

9. _ Pocahontas
Aurora borealis
The icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man to the fields of green
And the homeland we've never seen.
They killed us in our tepee
And they cut our women down
They might have left some babies
Cryin' on the ground
But the firesticks and the wagons come
And the night falls on the setting sun.
They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
The taxis run across my feet
And my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box at the top of the stairs
With my indian rug and a pipe to share.
I wish a was a trapper
I would give thousand pelts
To sleep with pocahontas
And find out how she felt
In the mornin' on the fields of green
In the homeland we've never seen.
And maybe marlon brando
Will be there by the fire
We'll sit and talk of hollywood
And the good things there for hire
And the astrodome and the first tepee
Marlon brando, pocahontas and me
Marlon brando, pocahontas and me
Pocahontas.

10. _ Mr. Soul
Oh, hello mr. soul, i dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that i caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on.
I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said i upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said, you're strange, but don't change, and i let her.
In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster?
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange i should change? i don't know, why don't you ask her?

11. _ Like A Hurricane
Once i thought i saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam i know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And i'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but i'm getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And i'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but i'm getting blown away.
You are just a dreamer, and i am just a dream.
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And i'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but i'm getting blown away.

12. _ Needle & The Damage Done
I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can i have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
I hit the city and i lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.
I sing the song because i love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk-blood to keep from running out.
I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin' sun.

13. _ Harvest Moon
Come a little bit closer
Hear what i have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.
Because i'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because i'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.
But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.
Because i'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because i'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

14. _ Look Out For My Love
There's a lot to learn
For wastin' time
There's a heart that burns
There's an open mind.
Look out for my love, look out for my love
Look out for my love, look out for my love
You own it
You own it now
You own it.
There's a weight on you
But you can't feel it
Livin' like i do
It's hard for you to see it.
Was i hurt too bad
Can i show you daylight
How could i be sad
When i know that you might.
Look out for my love, look out for my love
Look out for my love, look out for my love.
Look out for my love
It's in your neighborhood
I know things are gonna change
But i can't say bad or good.
Silver wings of mornin'
Shinin' in the gray day
While the ice is formin'
On a lonely runway.
Hydraulic wipers pumpin'
'til the window glistens
Somethin' sayin' somethin'
No one seems to listen.
Men with walkie-talkies
Men with flashlights wavin'
Up upon the tower
Time reads daylight savings.
I'm home again to you babe
You know it makes me wonder
Sittin' in the quiet slipstream
In the thunder.
Look out for my love, look out for my love
Look out for my love, look out for my love.
