Summer, highland falls

They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation
In cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes
And I can only stand apart and sympathize

For we are always what our situations hand us
It's either sadness or euphoria

So we'll argue and we'll compromise
And realize that nothing's ever changed
For all our mutual experience
Our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
A reason coexists with our insanity

And though we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives
With our respective similarities

It's either sadness or euphoria

Oh…!

Someone saved my life tonight

When I think of those East End lights
Muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downsairs
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer
And I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friend's out there rolling
Round the basement floor

And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Alter-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away bye bye

I never realized the passing hours
Of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It's four-o-clock in the morning
Damn it!
Listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music is still alive

And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Alter-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye, bye

And I would have walked head on
Into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever
They're coming in the morning
With a truck to take me home

Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength
And run the field you play alone

And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Alter-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away bye bye

Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight 

What is life

What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you
Anytime of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best
To make everything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?

What I know, I can do
If I give my love now to everyone like you
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best
To make everything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?
Tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?

What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you
Anytime of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best
To make everything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?
Tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?

What is my life without your love?
Tell me, who am I without you by my side?

Oh tell me, what is my life without your love?
Tell me who am I without you by my side? 

End of the line

Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, doing the best you can
Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
(at the end of the line)
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
(at the end of the line)
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
(at the end of the line)
Maybe a diamond ring

Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well it's all right, As long as you got somewhere to lay
Well it's all right, everyday is Judgement Day

Maybe somewhere down the road aways
(at the end of the line)
You'll think of me, and wonder where I am these days

Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays

Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
Well it's all right, if you got someone to love
Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive
(at the end of the line)
I'm just glad to be here, happy to be alive
(at the end of the line)
It don't matter if you're by my side
(at the end of the line)
I'm satisfied

Well it's all right, even if you're old and grey
Well it's all right, you still got something to say
Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive

Takin' care of business

You get up every morning
From your alarm clocks warning
Take the eight fifteen into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty

And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me, I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out

If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows

People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the Sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day

And we be taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime

Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day

You get up every morning
From your alarm clocks warning
Take the eight fifteen into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty

And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime

(4x)
Takin' care of business

Takin' care of business (Every day)
Takin' care of business (Every way)
Takin' care of business (It's all mine)
Takin' care of business (And working overtime)

(7x)
Takin' care of business 

Jane

Jane, you say it's all over
For you and me girl
There's a time for love
And a time for lettin' it be baby

Jane, you're playin' a game called
Called "hard to get" by its real name
Makin' believe that you just don't feel the same
Oh Jane

Jane, you're playin' a game
You never can win girl
You're stayin' away so I ask you
"Where you been, baby?"

Like a cat and a mouse (cat and a mouse)
From door to door and-a house to house
Don't you pretend you don't know
What I'm talking about

Were all those nights we spent together, hey hey
Only because you didn't know better
I got to know
Jane, you're playin' a game
You're playin' a game, playin' a game

(Jane, Jane, Jane)
Woah Jane you're playin' a game
But why I don't see
Jane you're playin' for fun
But I play for keeps, yes I do
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
That's a game on me, yeah
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
So plain to see
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
Janie, Janie, Janie, Janie, Janie
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
Why you foolin' with me, me, me
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
(Jane, Jane, Jane)

Young Americans

They pulled in just behind the fridge
He lays her down, he frowns
Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but

All night
She wants the young american
Young american, young american,
she wants the young american
All right
She wants the young american

Scanning life through the picture windows
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her ford mustang, but
Heaven forbid, she'll take anything
But the freak, and his type, all for nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
She cries where have all papa's heroes gone?

All night
She wants the young american
Young american, young american,
she wants the young american
All right
She wants the young american

All the way from washington
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more?

All night
He wants the young american
Young american, young american,
he wants the young american
All right
He wants the young american

Do you remember, your president Nixon?
Do you remember, the bills you have to pay
Or even yesterday

Have you been an un-american?
Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout
Leather, leather everywhere, and
Not a myth left from the ghetto
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
In case, just in case of depression
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Blushing at all the afro-sheilas
Ain't that close to love?
Well, ain't that poster love?
Well, it ain't that barbie doll
Her heart's been broken just like you have

And
All night
You want the young american
Young american, young american,
you want the young american
All right
You want the young american

You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
A pimp's got a cadi and a lady got a chrysler
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
I heard the news today, oh boy
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man you can say no more?
And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
Ain't there one damn song that can make me
Break down and cry?

All night
I want the young american
Young american, young american,
I want the young american
All right
I want the young american
Young american
Young american, young american,
I want the young american
(I want with you, I want with you want)
All right
(you want it, I want you you, you want i, I want you want)
Young american, young american,
I want the young american
(I want to want, to want, to want , to want i, I want you)
All right
(lord I wanted the young american)
(young american)
Young american, young american
I want the young american
Mmmmmm mmm 

Run-around

Once upon a midnight dreary
I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
Yeah, humor me and tell me lies

And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
And, as we seek, so shall we find
And when you're feeling open, I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully

But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down

And shake me and my confidence
About a great many things
But I've been there, I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing, "Hey, babe, let's keep in touch"
Hey, baby, let's keep in touch

But I want more than a touch, I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon, if we're lucky, we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line

But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down

Tra-la-la-la-la, bombadier, this is the pilot speaking
And I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands, no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure, the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full
Yeah, I will drink it and always be full

Oh, I like coffee and I like tea
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well, all right, okay, so be that way
I hope and pray that there's something left to say

But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
Oh, you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down 

All for you

Finally I figured out
But it took a long long time
And now there's a turn about
Maybe 'cause I'm tryin

There's been times (I'm so confused)
All my roads (they lead to you)
I just can't turn and walk away

It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
Words can't say, I can't do
Enough to prove it's all for you

And I thought I'd seen it all
Cause it's been a long long time
Oh but I'll trip and fall
Wonder if I'm blind

There's been times (I'm so confused)
All my roads (they lead to you)
I just can't turn and walk away

It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
Words can't say, I can't do
Enough to prove, it's all for you

Rain comes pouring down, falling from blue skies
Words without a sound comming from your eyes

Finally I figured out
But it took a long long time
Oh now there's a turn about
Maybe cause I'm tryin

There's been times (I'm so confused)
All my roads (they lead to you)
I just can't turn and walk away

It's hard to see what is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
Words can't say it, I can't do
Enough to prove it's all for you
Well it's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
Words can't say, I can't do
Enough to prove it's all for you 

Every morning

Every morning there's a halo hanging from the corner
Of my girlfriend's four post bed
I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it
For the weekend or a one night stand

Couldn't understand how to work it out
Once again as predicted left my broken heart open
And you ripped it out

Something's got me reeling
Stop me from believing
Turn me around again
Said that we can do it
You know I want to do it again

(Sugar Ray say)
Every morning
Every morning when I wake up
(Shut the door baby, don't say a word)
She always rights the wrong
She always rights, she always rights
(Shut the door baby, shut the door baby)

Every morning there's a heartache hanging from the corner
Of my girlfriend's four post bed
I know it's not mine and I know she thinks she loves me
But I never can believe what she's said

Something so deceiving when you start believing
Turn me around again
Said we couldn't do it
You know I want to do it again

Every morning, every morning
When I wake up
(Shut the door baby, don't say a word)
Every morning, every morning
(Shut the door baby, shut the door baby)
She always rights the wrong for me, baby
She always rights the wrong for me

Every morning there's a halo hanging from the corner
Of my girlfriend's four post bed
I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it
For the weekend or a one night stand
(Shut the door baby don't say a word)

Every morning, every morning
when I wake up
(Shut the door baby, shut the door baby)
Every morning 

Life is better with you

Every day's not valentine's,
But you make it feel like most of the time,
When I'm all alone with you.
Pickin up pieces of my life,

Sometimes there's ones I just can't find,
But they found a home with you.

Woah, I'm not afraid to be alone,
But being alone is better with you.
Life is better with you.

Woah, woah, life is better with you.
Woah, woah, life is better with you.
And when I think about the things that we've been through,
I know just one thing is true, life is better with you.

Some days are better than other days,
But these days, life is better with you.
Some days are better than other days,
These days, life is better with you.
Life is better.

Tell me what you want, I'll give you all
That you need with my heart and my hands,
Sayin please baby please because nobody does
That thing you do better than you.
Thoughts still swimmin round in my head
With all the words we've ever said.
My favorites remain, "I love you."

Woah, I'm not afraid to be alone,
But being alone is better with you.
Life is better with you.

Woah, woah, life is better with you.
Woah, woah, life is better with you.
And when I think about the things that we've been through,
I know just one thing is true, life is better..

Every day's not valentine's,
But you make me feel it most of the time with you, you.
And all my life I've tried to find the one
Who makes me feel the way you do, you.

Some days are better than other days,
But these days, life is better with you.
Some days are better than other days,
But these days, life is better with you.
And when I think about the things that we've been through,
I know just one thing is true, life is better with you.

Woah, woah, life is better with you. [x5]
