If I could stick my pen in my heart, and spill it all over the stage,
Would it satisfy 'ya, would it slide on by 'ya,
Would 'ya think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?

If I could win 'ya, if I could sing 'ya a love song so divine,
Would it be enough for your cheating heart,
If I broke down and cried? If I cried?

I said, I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it.
I know it's only rock 'n roll, but I like it, like it, yes, I do.
Well, I like it, I like it, I like it.
I said, can't you see that this old boy has been lonely?

If I could stick a knife in my heart, suicide right on stage,
Would it be enough for your teenage lust?
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?

If I could dig down deep in my heart, feelings would flood on the page.
Would it satisfy 'ya, would it slide on by 'ya,
Would 'ya think the boy's insane? He's insane?

I said, I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it.
I said, I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do.
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it.
I said, can't you see that this old boy has been lonely?

And do 'ya think that you're the only girl around?
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town.

I said, I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it.
I said, I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it.
I said, I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do.
Well, I like it, I like it, I like it.
I like it, I like it, I like it.
(Only rock 'n roll, but I...) I like it...
(Only rock 'n roll, but I...) I like it...
(Only rock 'n roll, but I...) I like it...
(Only rock 'n roll, but I...) I like it...

I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' down.
I feel my heart start
To tremblin' whenever you're around.

Ooh, baby, when I see your face,
Mellow as the month of may,
Oh, darlin', I can't stand it
When you look at me that way.

Hey, I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' down.
I feel my heart start to tremble
whenever you're around.

Ooh, darlin', when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name,
I know that my emotions
Are somethin' I just can't tame.
I just got to have ya, baby.
Uh, uh, uh.
Uh, uh, uh, yeah.

I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down.
I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down.

I just a-lose control
Down to my very soul.
I get hot and cold
All over, all over, all over, all over.

I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down.
I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down,
A-tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down,
A-tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down,
Tumblin' down.

Goodbye, hard life
Don't cry, would you let it ride?
Goodbye, hard life
Don't cry, would you let it ride?

You can't see the mornin', but I can see the light
(Ride, ride, ride, let it ride)
While you've been out runnin', I've been waitin' half the night
You can't see the mornin', but I can see the light
(Ride, ride, ride, let it ride)

And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye or would you let it ride?
And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye or would you let it ride?

Babe, my life is not complete, I never see you smile
(Ride, ride, ride, let it ride)
Baby, you want the forgivin' kind and that's just not my style
(Ride, ride, ride, let it ride)

And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye or would you let it ride?
And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye or would you let it ride?

I've been doin' things worthwhile, you've been bookin' time
(Ride, ride, ride, let it ride)

And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye, would you let it ride?
And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye, would you let it ride?

Would you let it ride, would you let it ride?
Would you let it ride, would you let it ride?

Drive, drive, drive, let it ride

Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old lady's eyes
Just for fun he says, "Get a job"

That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them

Said hey, little boy, you can't go where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do
Said hey, old man, how can you stand to think that way?
Did you really think about it before you made the rules?
He said, son

That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them

Yeah

That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is

Well, they passed a law in '64
To give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law don't change another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar, no

That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is

She keeps her Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake" she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's out to get you

She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
Wanna try?

Don't you know what you're doing?
You got a death wish

Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde

Suicide blonde was the color of her hair
Like a cheap distraction for a new affair
She knew it would finish before it began
Whoa, baby, you lost the plan

You wanna make her, suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
You wanna make her, suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde

Stripped to the beat, but her clothes stay on
White light everywhere, but you can't see a thing
Such a squeeze, a mad, sad moment
Glory to you, glory to you, take me there
Ooh, take me there

Got some revelation put into your hands
Save you from your misery like rain across the land
Don't you see the color of deception?
Turning your world around again

You wanna make her, suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
You wanna make her, suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde

You wanna make
You wanna make
You wanna make her, suicide blonde
You wanna make

Ow

That's the story
Everything you wanna be
Everything you are, are
Mm

You wanna make her, suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde, no
You wanna make her, suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
Yeah

Love devastation

You wanna make her, suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
You wanna make her

There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me
I know you've got somewhere to go
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave

Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

The sun ain't nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above
Underneath the velvet skies
Love is all that matters, won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave

Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

I long to see the morning light
Colouring your face so dreamily
So don't you go and say goodbye
You can lay your worries down and stay with me
And don't you ever leave

Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, there's no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

You run, run, run away
It's your heart that you've betrayed
Feeding on your hungry eyes
I bet you're not so civilized

Well, isn't love primitive
A wild gift that you wanna give
Break out of captivity
And follow me, stereo jungle child
Love is the kill, your heart's still wild

Shootin' at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang, I am the warrior
Well, I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win if you survive
The warrior, the warrior

You talk, talk, you talk to me
Your eyes touch me physically
Stay with me, we'll take the night
As passion takes another bite

Who's the hunter, who's the game?
I feel the beat, call your name
I hold you close in victory
I don't wanna tame your animal style
You won't be caged from the call of the wild

Shootin' at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang, I am the warrior
Well, I am the warrior,
And heart to heart you'll win if you survive
The warrior, the warrior
I am the warrior

Shootin' at the walls of heartache
(Shootin' at the walls of heartache)
The warrior
I am the warrior, and heart to heart you'll win
Heart to heart you'll win if you survive
The warrior, the warrior

Shootin' at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang, I am the warrior
Yes, I am the warrior and victory is mine
The warrior, the warrior

Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

She's walkin' down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?

Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked and her legs are long
When she moves, my brain screams out this song

Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for somethin' sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?

Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello (I want you)
Hello
Hello (I need my baby)
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello

Well, our hearts beat like thunder
I don't know why they don't explode
You got your hands in my back pockets
And Sam Cooke's singin' on the radio
You say that I'm the boy who can make it all come true
Well, I'm tellin' ya that I don't know if I know what to do

You say that's all right, hold tight
Well, I don't even know if I'm doin' this right
Well all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night
Well all night, all night
Well, it's time to go home
And I ain't even done with the night

Well, I don't know no good come-ons
And I don't know no cool lines
I feel the heat of your frustration
I know it's burnin' you up deep down inside
You say that I'm the boy who can make it all come true
Well, I'm tellin' ya that I don't know if I know what to do

You say that's all right, hold tight
Well, I don't even know if I'm doin' this right
Well all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night
Well all night, all night
Well, it's time to go home
And I ain't even done with the night

Ain't even done with the night, hold tight
Well, I don't even know if I'm doin' this right
Well all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night
Well all night, all night
Well, it's time to go home
And I ain't even done with the night

No I ain't even done with the night
No, no, ain't even done with the night
No, I ain't even done with the night
No, no, ain't even, ain't even done with the night
No, no, ain't even done with the night
No I ain't even done with the night

Red, red wine
Goes to my head
Makes me forget that I
Still need her so

Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do I've done

Thoughts of you

The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal.
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what:
"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
"Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:
"I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you."
The boy said: "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin,
"But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."

Johnny you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
'Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals it hard.
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.

The devil opened up his case and he said: "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he resined up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
When the devil finished, Johnny said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son.
"But if you'll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done."

Fire on the moun, run boys, run.
The devil's in the house of the risin' sun.
Chicken in the bread pin, pickin' out dough.
"Granny, does your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet.
Johnny said: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again.
"I told you once, you son of a b****, I'm the best that's ever been."

And he played fire on the mount, run boys, run.
The devil's in the house of the risin' sun.
Chicken in the bread pin pickin' out dough.
"Granny, does your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."

Whoah
Whoah
Come on and dance
Come on and dance
Let's make some romance
You know that night is falling
And the music is calling
And we've got to get down to swing town

We've been working so hard
We've been working so hard
Come on, baby, come on, baby, let's dance
Ba-bump bump bump
Ba-bump bump bump
Ba-bump bump bump

Whoah
Whoah
Come on and dance
Come on and dance
We may not get another chance
You know that night is falling
And the music is calling
And we've got to get down to swing town

I know you're leavin' me behind
I'm seein' you darlin' for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more

Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while

We all must feel heartache sometimes
Right now, right now I'm feelin' mine
I've tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle
Before you leave me behind let me feel happy one more time

Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while

I'm losin' you and my happiness
My life is so dark I must confess
I'll never, never see your smiling face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock upon my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Let me feel happy one more time

Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
