    1. Gypsy Train

      Downtown Jimmy, say you're feelin' kinda blue
      It's no problem, this is whatcha gotta do
      Telephone your baby, tell her that you're workin' late
      Come and pay a visit, please don't hesitate

      Come join the party, come along and be our guest
      Sit back and let us do the rest, we're the best, yeah

      Come on an' meet me at the station, don't pack your bags, just fix your hair
      Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta get out, just look for me, I'm always there

      Chorus:
      Come on let's ride, ride that gypsy train
      All aboard, now don't you be afraid
      Come on let's ride, ride that gypsy train
      Feed the fire, let's go one mo' time again

      Medication, little love and sympathy, cool libation, it's complimentary
      Play a little poker, love when the stakes are high
      Lotta nasty women, givin' everyone the eye

      Say downtown Jimmy, tell me whatcha need, satisfaction guaranteed
      Guaranteed, yeah

      It's a perfect situation, it's so nice to have you here
      Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta pull out, happy shiny people everywhere

      Chorus

      (Instrumental break)

      It's a perfect situation, it's so nice to have you here
      Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta put out, happy shiny people everywhere

      Chorus repeats 2x

    2. Don't Chain My Heart

      Tired and frozen, I'm under your spell
      I thought I knew you, but now I know you well
      I wake up beside you, move across your killing floor
      I need my freedom and I see an open door
      The room is getting smaller and the walls are closin' in
      No one's leavin' and nobody's gettin' in

      I try to run, I try to hide, I try to tell you what I'm feelin' inside
      Should I stay, should I go
      You know I wanna touch you, but there's nothing left to hold Don't chain my heart (don't chain my heart) Don't chain my soul (don't chain my soul) Don't chain my heart (don't chain my heart), 'cause you got to let it go Looks like trouble, the signs are everywhere I bend a little but you take more than your share Crimes of passion, crimes of mortal men It's a deadly attraction and I won't be fooled again, baby The storm is coming, the winds begin to rise Please release me from this house of compromise All day, all night, your love is like an outlaw waiting till the time is right Nobody's wrong, no one's to blame Maybe it's just too hot because we're standin' in the flame Chorus I'm a victim of your pain and jealousy I feel like a prisoner and you hold the lock and key We lost our vision, we lost our paradise But there's still a part of me I refuse to sacrifice (Instrumental break) I try to run, I try to hide, I need to tell you what I'm feelin' inside, baby Should I stay, should I go You know I wanna touch you, but there's nothing left to hold Chorus repeats 2x

    3. Never Enough

      Seems the world needs a change in its attitude
      It doesn't seem like there's much that a man can do
      They try to sell the earth on a wild crusade
      Then complain about not bein' paid

      How can some people have the nerve, hell hasn't froze but it's on the verge
      It's gone way past the point of greed, how many lifetimes will we need

      Chorus:
      'Cause it's never enough, they keep on takin' till they take too much
      'Cause it's never enough, it won't be long until they run out of luck

      We've been bought and sold for a thousand years
      And all I got to show is a six pack full of tears
      And all the while the fat cats they watch from the hill<
      Nothin's changed, it never has an' never will

      You better strap on your sharpest spurs
      For the ride of your life, 'cause it's gonna hurt
      You can't say you didn't ask for this
      It's too late to find somebody's ass to kick

      Chorus

      (Instrumental break)

      Who's got the money and who gets the rent
      By the time it's all over, you ain't got a cent, hey, hey

      How can some people have the nerve, hell hasn't froze but it's on the verge
      It's gone way past the point of greed, how many lifetimes will we need

      Chorus repeats 2x

    4. How Many Times



      How many years keep on slipping away
      And it seems that your life doesn't matter, you never had a chance

      How many ways is a love torn apart
      And you look to your heart for some answers, don't let it slip away

      Can't blame myself anymore, I've been beaten and accused before
      Well I took some bad advice, and I paid too high a price
      I could sell my soul, you know I wouldn't think twice

      Chorus:
      How many times must a man fall down, I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
      How many dreams have to fall to the ground
      It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on, yeah

      How many times do you look for some sign
      That there's hope, and your life has some meaning, almost every day, hey, hey

      Maybe I was born to wander, I got no high hopes any longer
      So tell me my friend, just where does it end
      Is nothin' ever gonna free me from this hell I'm livin' in

      Chorus

      (Instrumental break)

      Can't blame myself anymore, I've been beaten and accused before
      So tell me my friend, just where does it end
      I'm sick and tired of livin' in a rat race that no one ever wins

      Chorus repeats 2x

    5. 2 Hearts

      You said you would wait for me, but something went wrong
      The house was empty, your pictures gone
      I knew you'd come back one day, our love was so strong
      The past behind us, it's here you belong

      'Cause I'm deep inside you, you're deep inside me
      I always knew that we would always be

      Chorus:
      Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I need to know your love is mine
      Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I won't let go of you this time

      You could've talked to me, what changed your mind
      I could have been there by your side
      You thought you could walk away, but you know that's a lie
      This loneliness is hard to hide

      It's so easy to surrender, and temptation always finds a way
      You must hold on, you know we must hold on, whoa-oh-oh

      Chorus

      (Instrumental break)

      Chorus

      Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I won't let go of you this time
      Take this heart of mine, whoa-oh-oh

    6. Wings Of Time

      My faithful companion, I've lost my way once again
      A prisoner of darkness, I let you down my friend

      A heart left abandoned takes so long to heal its wounds
      Your touch not forgotten, the end of the dream
      It comes too soon, in this lonely room
      Till I leave this world, always know that

      Chorus:
      I will surrender my heart to the sky
      Oh our love doesn't end here, it lives forever on the wings of time

      The road that I travel, don't know which way I should turn
      Till I find the answer, know that the fire within me will always burn

      Angel of mercy, please, why so much pain?
      I cry for forgiveness, I'm the destitute man
      Who still remains, it's so hard to explain
      Till I leave this world, always know that

      Chorus

      Sometimes I feel just like crying
      I can't turn my back, all these years I've been trying
      A vision of you keeps reappearing to me
      You can't blame yourself, just reach out your hand and believe

      (Instrumental break)

      We sail in dark waters, Lord give me some peace of mind
      Temptation before me, ahead lies the tower of truth that I must find
      To you I will climb
      Till I leave this cruel world far behind, always know that

      Chorus repeats 2x

    7. She Know The Devil

      She got fingernails like knives, she got twenty-four karat eyes
      She wants everything she sees, she'll drop you to your knees
      She ain't gonna change her wicked ways, I'll love her till my dying day
      She got poison heart, painted smile, she always has a girlfriend
      (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

      Chorus:
      She knows the devil, she knows the devil
      She knows the devil, and the devil knows me
      She knows the devil, she knows the devil
      She knows the devil, and the devil knows me

      Whoa, whoa, whoa

      Bad little girl with a vermin tongue, ooh, she loves to have her fun
      The daughter of Mephistopheles, she loves to aim and she aims to please
      She'll take any young god and burn him down
      He'll see who's the queen and who's the clown
      She got lips that bleed, she's what I need, I want her for my girlfriend
      (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

      Chorus

      (Instrumental break)

      She wants everything she sees, she'll drop you to your knees
      She ain't gonna change her wicked ways, I'll love her till my dying day
      She got poison heart, painted smile, she always brings a girlfriend
      (Hey, hey, hey, hey) Whoa, whoa, whoa, she knows the devil Whoa, whoa, whoa, she knows the devil

    8. The Other Side

      The waiting game is over, no need for pretending, we were meant to be
      It's only getting stronger, the love I feel for you, it's no mystery

      I've got to find some way to tell you, though our world seems far apart
      It just don't have to be
      The time has come to testify, all the feelings I've been holding back
      It's time to set them free

      Chorus:
      I've been watching you from the other side
      I've been wanting to hold you through the night
      I've got to find my way to the other side
      I want to hold you tonight and forever

      The moment that I saw you
      I knew inside my heart, all my dreams would come true
      I know it took some time to realize
      A love we can't deny, I've got to see it through

      Chorus

      I want to be the one who loves you, now and forever
      I want to take my place beside you
      I want to be the one to hold you, now and forever
      I will meet you there on the other side

      (Instrumental break)

      Chorus repeats 2x

      From the other side, from the other side
      I want to hold you tonight and forever

    9. Only You

      Waiting for you again, seems like this never ends
      I close my eyes and I see your face, and I see it all fading away

      Woke up before you again, you're still asleep I can't pretend
      I feel like I'm losing you, and I am trying to make everything right

      Chorus:
      Only you, only me, say the words I want to hear for all eternity
      Only you, holding my heart in your hands
      Only me, still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh

      If I could have a second chance, maybe change the circumstance
      Imagine if the dream came true, we could start it all over tonight

      Chorus repeats 2x

      Only me, say the words I want to hear for all eternity
      Only you, holding my heart in your hands
      Only me, still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh

    10. Kick Down The Walls

      Took the long way to the shortcut, and the walls were made of stone
      Took the low road to the highground, had to feel it in my bones
      Everybody wants some heaven, but nobody wants to die
      It's been brought to my attention
      You'll be dead a long time, now ain't that a crime

      Chorus:
      Kick down the walls, shake down the building, help me bust out of this cage
      Kick down the walls, shake down the building, must be time for a change

      I went driving in the moonlight, there was no place left to go
      I went digging in my coalmine, when I hit the motherload
      If this world could work together, like a big old human clock
      It would run on till forever, it would never have to stop, never have to stop

      Chorus

      (Instrumental break)

      You can't buy no protection, don't care who you are
      Spreading out in all directions, now it's no hold barred
      Everybody runs for cover, from the sun and sex and sin
      If you think you got the answers, buddy just you come on in, step right in

      Chorus repeats 2x

      Kick down the walls, shake down the building
      Kick down the walls, shake down the building
      Kick down the walls, shake down the building
      Kick down the walls, shake down the building

    11. Kingdom Of Desire

      You used to be on fire, now you chill me to the bone
      We used to fly like angels, now we're sinking like a stone
      You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels
      I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels

      Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
      I been stabbed in the back babe
      And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing

      And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go

      Chorus:
      Going back to the kingdom of desire, going down to the valley of the gun
      I'm gonna stand too close to the fire, I'm gonna fly too close to the sun

      They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed
      My sheets feel like sandpaper, and my pillow feels like lead
      But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea
      I'm sinking like a stone babe, that's how it's got to be

      Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
      I been stabbed in the back babe
      And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing

      And oh, if I don't have you, there's only one thing left for me to do

      Chorus

      (Instrumental break)

      When you dig up God's little acre, you lose all peace of mind
      You stare into the distance, looking for a sign
      But that sign it never comes babe, your wishes won't come true
      You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you

      And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go

      Chorus repeats 2x

      I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah
      I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
