You think that inviting me over
We were gonna have a lot of fun?
Now I’m at the end of your lead
But it’s you that’s afraid to run.
You can’t hear what I’m trying to say
Cuz the best laid plans are for another day.
Change your mind when the feeling is right.
Yeah, that’s all honey.
That’s all right.
Carry on
My heart is breaking in two
Carry on
Not much is everlasting for you
Cherry cola
Rock and roll
I got a bottle and I’m drinking it for two
Tonight
(Tonight)
I’m gonna party like I’m right here next to you
Killing time while I kill my brain
And it’s all your fault but I’m the one to blame
Hear the words on your telephone
Your comfort voice leaves me all alone
You can’t hear what I’m trying to say
Cuz the best laid plans are for another day.
Change your mind when the feeling is right.
Yeah, that’s all honey.
That’s all right.
Carry on
My heart is breaking in two
Carry on
Not much is everlasting for you
(Solo)
Killing time while I kill my brain
And it’s all your fault but I’m the one to blame
Hear the words on your telephone
Your comfort voice leaves me all alone
You can’t hear what I’m trying to say
Cuz the best laid plans are for another day.
Change your mind when the feeling is right.
Yeah, that’s all honey.
That’s all right.
Carry on
My heart is breaking in two
Carry on
Not much is everlasting for you
Carry on
My heart is breaking in two
Carry on
Not much is everlasting for you

Wasted On You
03:44

Turning on the radio
Hoping I can clear my mind
Holding back the pain
I could never hide
And then I
Heard this song
Now I'm
Too far gone and
Wasted on you
Never mind the cocaine
The only horse that I ride
Is the one in front of the market
At Church and Hyde
Yeah I can't hear what your sayin'
No wheels falling off this wagon yeah
I just need my Rock and Roll
And then I
Heard this song
Now I'm
Too far gone and
Wasted on you
And then I
Heard this song
Now I'm
Too far gone and
Wasted on you
Drinkin' wine does it every time
Old fashion, gin and tonics
Do it too
It's true
I don't need to drown my sorrows
No need when they're playin' that song
About you
Then I'm wasted on you
And then I
Heard this song
Now I'm
too far gone and
Wasted on you
And then I
Heard this song
Now I'm
too far gone and
Wasted on you
yeah yeah

Sweetheart Of L. A.
03:15
|
|||
|
I look around and all I see is
The street clouds blowin'
On the greenest tree
And we
Losing time
On the 405
How can this be true?
That's when you've been hit by
The sweetheart of L.A.
I turn around and all I see is
The light shine bright
On the darkest street
And we
Can never leave
The place where we
Found a love so true
That's when you've been hit by
The sweetheart of L.A.
From Larrabee
To Genesee
Vermont and 'round again
Now I'm crawling alongside
The ghost of yesterday.
The gangs and queens
And ultra beings
Wrapped in cheap perfume
Yeah, all of 'em touched by
The hand of old L.A.
The Letters shine down on the hero
The age stops growin'
But the passion rages on
Graffiti skies
And P.C. lies
After me for sure
That's when you've been kissed by
The sweetheart of L.A.
(Let's go!)
The memories
Of everything
We found and loved so true
That's when you've been kissed by
The sweetheart of L.A.
Yeah, you've been kissed by
The sweetheart of L.A.
That's when you've been kissed by
The sweetheart of L.A.

You got your dial on 123
And you never were a friend to me
But now were forty years later

To the task of guarantee

I accept you as a friend
Cuz you waste my time

Of saying yes

When I was with her I was nobody's fool
But now we're thirty-five years apart
My girl you vanished from the spot in my heart
Now come-a prime time baby
Got you ringing in my ear
It's says
Please accept my friendship dear
But we never gave a second thought about each other
For year after year

Cured my fever and
I'm a true believer, yeah
I'm so in love with you
From the time I saw you
Painting pictures in the sky
No one would ever do.
Secret talks and picking up rocks
Yeah, the birds know more than me
Who'd a thought
I'd be the lucky one?
Yeah, it's pretty much hard to believe
Cured my fever and
I'm a true believer, yeah

Time
I only got what I need
Baby look around you and see
Time
is all I wanted
Now it's gone forever
Like it was a dream
Time
Is taking over my head
I can't remember all the things she said
Time
is taking over
Now I'm all alone
But it's my heart that empty
It may be the end of me
Cuz it's a shame to live in this world
When all I want is to be with you girl
Yeah it's a shame to live in this world
When you're gone
People say that I can do without
But I'm the only one that's left around
Everyone can see right though me
Now I'm haunted by the light of memory
And it takes no time
And you feel this light
And you don't wanna live
On the outside
Cuz it's a shame to live in this world
When all I want is to be with you girl
Yeah it's a shame to live in this world
When you're gone
Cuz it's a shame to live in this world
When all I want is to be with you girl
Yeah it's a shame to live in this world
When you're gone
It's a shame

Tomorrow Was Better

Headin' out on a two lane highway
Took the Heeler and we ain't lookin' back
The smoke and hum from the middle of the engine
Makes me feel like I'm on the right track
Broken lines guide me through another heartbreak
This time I'm headin' for the earthquake
'vine drivin' make me dream about tomorrow
Will you still love me when I see you again?
Wake up for a little while
Drivin' up the rain just to hear you smile
Come around to live again
As we
Fill it up
And drive away
And I say
Everyone knows the reason why
You shine your light and I'll say goodbye
From the banks on the middle of a new world
I'll keep on ridin' til my arm's around you
Yeah
Headin' out on a two lane highway
Feet are burnin' and there's no lookin' back
Spinning numbers just to get to your doorway
See you and the other side.
Wake up for a little while
Drivin' up the rain just to hear you smile
Come around to live again
As we
Fill it up
And drive away
And I say...
Everyone knows the reason why
You shine your light and I'll say goodbye
From the banks on the middle of a new world
I'll keep on ridin' til my arm's around you
Yeah
Everyone knows the reason why
(See your shining sea)
You shine your light and I'll say goodbye
(Coming over me)
(I'm alone when I'm never at home)
From the banks on the middle of a new world
I'll keep on ridin' til my arm's around you
Yeah
With your long black hair
And your brown eyes too.
Everyone knows the reason why
You shine your light and I'll say goodbye
From the banks on the middle of a new world
I'll keep on ridin' til my arm's around you
Yeah
Everyone knows the reason why
(See your shining sea)
You shine your light and I'll say goodbye
(Coming over me)
(I'm alone when I'm never at home)
From the banks are the windows of a new world
I'll keep on ridin' til my arm's around you
Yeah
Everyone knows the reason why
(See your shining sea)
You shine your light and I'll say goodbye
(Coming over me)
(I'm alone when I'm never at home)
From the banks are the windows of a new world
I'll keep on ridin'
I'll keep on ridin'
