Cry Wolf

You couldn't wait for answers
You just had to try those wings
And all your happy-ever-afters
They didn't mean a thing
So I'm not gonna try at all
To keep you from the flame
Just remember not to call my name

When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you anymore

If you start to stumble
If you start to crack
If you're feeling humble
Don't look back

When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you anymore

You can try but you can't get me
Into the fire
'Cause I'm all out of sympathy
And, baby, I can't walk this wire

Find yourself somebody new
To catch you when you fall
'Cause I got just one thing to say to you
And, baby, that's all

When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you
You cry wolf
Well, once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't see you
So you cry wolf
Once too often
Cry wolf
On no, I won't come knockin'
If you cry wolf
I won't see you
'Cause you cried wolf

Didnt we almost win it all

You don't act the same
And your eyes have changed
I don't want to hear the words you say
I don't want to know the pain

And I see your lips move
But I can't hear the sound
So I turn my head away
As my heart drops to the ground

I would die for you, I would live for you
I would fight for the right, just to give to you
You can set me free but you'll come back to me
Didn't We Almost win, Didn't We Almost win It All

Time seems to heal wounds
Well that's what they say
But it doesn't matter now 'Cause I never felt that way
And I try to see right through you
But It's all in vain
Like a locomotive blinded by the rain
I could swear that you loved me just the other way
I still remember how you used to say

I would die for you, I would live for you
I would fight for the right, just to give to you
You can set me free but you'll come back to me
Didn't We Almost win, Didn't We Almost win It All

I could swear that you loved me just the other way
I still remember how you used to say
I would die for you, I would live for you
I would fight for the right, just to give to you
You can set me free but you'll come back to me
Didn't We Almost win, Didn't We Almost win It All
You can set me free but you'll come back to me
Didn't We Almost win, Didn't We Almost win It All

Foolish Lullaby

You always run to me

Whenever she leaves you

We trade philosophy

But nothing can free you

Too many poison arrows hit

The heart you've try to hide

Can't you say goodbye to this foolish lullaby?

Still you talk as if

She didn't hurt you

But I see what she did

And you see the virtue

You refuse to hear the words

That lie behind your eyes

Can't you say goodbye to this foolish lullaby?

If you are so sure that she's the one

Why are you lying here with me?

Did it ever cross your mind at all

Of how this feels to me?

I'll never know just what you see in her

I don't even want to try

I guess the both of us sing a foolish lullaby

So we'll wear the goodbye look

Collecting excuses

For all the time it took

To hide the abuses

The thorns around the roses left

Their mark below our eyes

Can't we say goodbye to this foolish lullaby?

If you are so sure that she's the one

Why are you lying here with me?

Did it ever cross your mind at all

Of how this feels to me?

I'll never know just what you see in her

I don't even want to try

I guess the both of us sing a foolish lullaby

Forever Young

Let's dance in style let's dance for a while

Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever

We don't have the power but we never say never

Sitting in a sandpit life is a short trip

The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when the space is one

As we turn our faces into the sun

Praising our leaders we're getting in tune

The music's played by the mad men

Forever young

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever and ever

Forever young

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever, forever young

Some are like water some are like the heat

Some are the melody and some are the beat

Sooner or later they all will be gone

Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause

I don't want to perish like a fading horse

Youth's like diamonds in the sun

And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today

So many songs we forgot to play

So many dreams waiting out of the blue

We'll let them come true

Forever young

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever and ever

Gloria

Gloria, you're always on the run now
Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down before you start to blow it
I think you're headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it

You really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria, how's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' back soon

And you really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

Heart

It's the hour of the night time
When the demons come to call
And the shadows seem to whisper
And I'm wishin' I could crawl inside a dream
That would free me from the pain
But I'm smothered by the silence of a heart gone insane

Oh, heart, are you still beating?
Is there enough of you left to break?
How could he take you and tear you apart?
I never knew somebody would do it
I never knew somebody could do it
Never dreamed anybody would do this to my heart

Now the wine has worked its wonder and it's makin' me forget
But the memories lie awaiting like an uncollected debt
That must be paid at the fadin' of the stars
By a heart that is already wearing one too many scars

Oh, heart, are you still beating?
Is there enough of you left to break?
How could he take you and tear you apart?
I never knew somebody would do it
Never knew somebody could do it
Never dreamed anybody could do this to my heart

Heart, are you still beating?
Is there enough of you left to break?
How could he take you and tear you apart?
I never knew somebody would do it
I never knew somebody could do it
Never dreamed anybody would do this to my --

Heart, are you still beating?
Is there enough of you left to break?
Heart, are you still beating?
Is there enough of you left to break?
Oh, heart, are you still beating ... [fade out]

Hold Me

Kinda young, very pretty

Living alone, full of fear

Feeling lost, so unhappy

Waiting for luck to appear

Meet a man, sit together,

Talk about dreams, a career

Feeling good, getting closer

Putting her lips to his ear

She whispers hold me

Baby please hold me

Make all those bad dreams disappear

She whispers hold me

Baby please hold me

I'd feel safe for just a minute

Help me drive away my fear

Shattered dreams

Her ambitions slip from her mind

Drift away so secure

Living his life

Pushing the world, far away

She whispers hold me

Baby please hold me

Make all those bad dreams disappear

She whispers hold me

Baby please hold me

I'd feel safe for just a minute

Help me drive away my fear

Hot Night

Here in the night
There's a perfume in the air
You can almost smell the danger,
Pressed in a crowd,
You can feel the heat flow
In the touch of every stranger

We're out on the town
And it's passion that we're after
Keep fanning the flame,
Just a little faster

It's gonna be a hot night
We're gonna have a hot night, tonight
It's gonna be a hot night
We won't get no sleep tonight
Too hot, it's too hot

The need, in your eyes
Hits me to the heart with a shot of stimulation
A moment with me
In a moment I will see the burning fascination

No stopping it now
We've got to stay in motion
We're two-foot a fire, two-foot of emotion

It's gonna be a hot night
We're gonna have a hot night, tonight
It's gonna be a hot night
We won't get no sleep tonight,
too hot, it's too hot

It's gonna be a hot night
We're gonna have a hot night, tonight!
It's gonna be a hot night,
We won't get no sleep tonight,
Too hot, it's too hot

No stopping it now
We've got to stay in motion
We're two-foot a fire, two-foot of emotion

It's gonna be a hot night
We're gonna have a hot night, tonight!
It's gonna be a hot night
We won't get no sleep tonight
Too hot, it's too hot

It's gonna be a hot night
We're gonna have a hot night, tonight!
It's gonna be a hot night
We won't get no sleep tonight
Too hot, it's too hot

It's gonna be a hot night
We're gonna have a hot night, tonight!
It's gonna be a hot night
We won't get no sleep tonight
Too hot, it's too hot

How Am I Supposed To Live Without You

I could hardly believe it when I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leaving, someone swept your heart away
From the look upon your face I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

Didn't come here for cryin', didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is comin' to an end
How can I blame you when I built my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
I need you know, it's more than I can take

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
Now that your dream has come true

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
All that I've been livin' for is gone

Without you, after I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been ... [fade out]

How Can I Help You Say Goodbye?

Through the back window of a '59 wagon
I watched my best friend Jamie slippin' further away
I kept on waving 'till I couldn't see her
And through my tears, I asked again why we couldn't stay
Mama whispered softly, Time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
Come, let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?

I sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase
I held a picture of our wedding day
His hands were trembling, we both were crying
He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away
I called up Mama, she said, Time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
Come, let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?

Sitting with Mama alone in her bedroom
She opened her eyes, and then squeezed my hand
She said, I have to go now, my time here is over
And with her final word, she tried to help me understand
Mama whispered softly, Time will ease your pain
Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

And she said, How can I help you to say goodbye?
It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
Come, let me hold you and I will try
How can I help you to say goodbye?

How can I help you to say goodbye?

Solitaire

I still remember how much I used to need you
Tried so hard to please you, but you didn't need me
You knew I loved you, knew I always would be there
You just did what you wanted, you didn't care
All the cards were held by you
There was nothin' I could do
All those nights I sat alone, starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' were you ever comin' home

Solitaire, it got so lonely
Solitaire, no one to hold me
Where were you when I played solitaire?

It took some time but I stopped thinkin' about you
Started livin' without you, now look who's back here
You've had a change of heart, well, mine just couldn't wait, no no
You found out you loved me just a little too late

Once the cards were held by you
Now there's nothin' you can do
All those nights you sit alone, starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' if I'm ever comin' home

Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to bear

Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire, solitaire, solitaire

Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to bear

Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire (solitaire, solitaire)

Self Control

You can break away or you can stay
You choose your life, you're free to fly
Go on and fly
Go on and fly

She had it in her own time
To get away and try to find
Somewhere to go, to run
She saw the world through open eyes
And never let a soul inside
Don't come too close, so close
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?

Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, you got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one

Her soul was strong, her heart was tough
And when she felt she had enough
She tore herself away
Love in the dark is all you see
Get what you want, not what you need
You look the other way
Never letting on to what it's all become

Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one

Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one, the lucky one
Oh, life is a dream, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?

Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
