Alabama | Happy Holidays | /a/alabama/happy+holidays_20005154.html | Smilin' faces on city streets, crowded shoppers, busy feet
And every smile just seems to say, we're having some happy holidays
Twinklin' lights on Christmas trees, kids up on santa's kneww
Busy lines on telephones, sending a merry Christmas home
Bells ringing everywhere, season spirit in the air
Up and down the avenue, holiday dreams comin' true
A choir singing songs of cheer, carols we all love to hear
Rudolph with his glowin' nose, lovers under mistletoe
Postman bringin' Christmas cards, reindeer out in the yard
Frosty with his eyes of coal, present wrapped in pretty bows
Sidewalks full of happy eyes, flakes fallin' from the sky
Boys and girls at the big parade to see st. nick up on his sleigh
The scene is set, it's beautiful, sounds of peace, joy and love
From all of us we'd like to say, have yourself some happy holidays

Alabama | Hats Off | /a/alabama/hats+off_20220369.html | The stage is set tonight down in Nashville
It's been a long, hard ride into town
And thanks to some cowboys and heros
My chance to sing has finally come around
The first song I ever sang was haggard
Momma sang to me I saw the Light
I'd turn my radio up louder
To hear Johnny Cash walk the line
Waylon sang a song about Texas
Willie's "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"
Bocephus sings a song about dixie.
Lefty taught us all how to sing.
Hats off to hard riding cowboys
Riding some where tonight
Hats off to hard riding cowboys
Wanted, dead or alive
Charlie ran the devil out of Georgia
Skynyrd sang sweet home Alabam
The Ahlman brothers taught us how to ramble
And to Tucker boys showed us how to jam.
Hats off to hard riding cowboys
Riding some where tonight
Hats off to hard riding cowboys
Wanted, dead or alive
The stage is set tonight up in Heaven
Rebas band is there with Patsy Cline
And all around are cowboys and cowgirls
And thanks to them the music's still alive
Hats off to hard riding cowboys
Flying somewhere tonight
Hats off to hard fighting cowboys
Wanted, dead or alive
Hats off to hard riding cowboys
Flying somewhere tonight
Hats off to hard fighting cowboys
Wanted, dead or alive

Alabama | Heartbreak Express | /a/alabama/heartbreak+express_20821010.html | Well, I was feeling kinda lonely, just a little bit blue
All I wanted was someone to talk to
I wasn't looking for love or a do romance
I had no intention of taking that big chance
Until she walked in, in that low-cut dress
She was a first class ticket on Heartbreak Express
Well, punch my ticket, I'm headin' on down the line
First stop misery, here I go one more time
Destination dead ahead, ain't that loneliness
I got a first class ticket on Heartbreak Express
Well, I ought a know better, you think I'm learned
But if you're gonna chase fire, you're gonna get burned!
Yeah, I was still gettin' over the hurtin' from the one before
She walked in right through that ballroom door
I ain't never been one to settle for second best
I want a first class ticket on Heartbreak Express
Well, punch my ticket, I'm headin' on down the line
First stop misery, here I go one more time
Destination dead ahead ain't that loneliness
I got a first class ticket on Heartbreak Express
Punch my ticket, I'm headin' on down the line
First stop misery, here I go one more time
Destination dead ahead, ain't that loneliness
I got a first class ticket on Heartbreak Express
I got a first class ticket on Heartbreak Express
I got a first class ticket, Heartbreak Express
I got a first class ticket on a Heartbreak Express
I got a first class ticket, Heartbreak Express

Alabama | Here We Are | /a/alabama/here+we+are_20005126.html | Here we are, once again
Stronger now than we have ever been
Hand in hand, heart to heart
Now we made it through the hardest part
We had to break it all down to build it back up
Lean on each other when the times got rough
How we survive going through so much
Baby you and I could write a book about love
Here we are, one to one
Looking back to see how far we come
We shared it all, you and I
We're still together after all this time
We had to break it all down to build it back up
Lean on each other when the times got rough
How we survive going through so much
Baby you and I could write a book about love
Here we are, once again
We're stronger now than we have ever been
With hand in hand, with heart to heart
Here we are, here we are
Here we are
Here we are
Here we are

Alabama | Hey Baby | /a/alabama/hey+baby_20005073.html | Written by Bruce Channel and Margaret Cobb
Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When I saw you walking down the street
I said that's the kind of girl I'd like to meet
She's so pretty, Lord she's fine. I'm gonna make her mine all mine
Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away, that's when I want to say now
Come on baby give me a whirl, I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away, that's when I wanna say
Come on baby give me a whirl, I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey, hey, hey baby, I wanna know if you'll be my girl

Alabama | High Cotton | /a/alabama/high+cotton_20005155.html | We didn't know the times were lean,
Round our house the grass was green,
It didn't seem like things were all that bad,
I bet we walked a thousand miles,
Choppin' cotton and pusing plows,
And learnin' how to give it all we had.
As Life went on and years went by,
I saw the light in daddy's eye,
And felt the love in mamma's hands,
They kept us warm and kept us fed,
Taught us how to look ahead,
Now lookin' back I understand.
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
When Sunday mornings rolled around,
We dressed up hand-me-downs,
Just in time to gather with the church,
Some times I think how long It's been,
And how it impressed me then,
It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work.
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
Walkin' in High Cotton

Alabama | His Eye Is On The Sparrow | /a/alabama/his+eye+is+on+the+sparrow_20817770.html | Why should I feel discouraged?
And why should the shadows come?
And why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
And I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I am free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Let not your heart be troubled
His tender word I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubts and fears
Though by the path He leads us
But one step I may see
His eye is on the sparrows
And I know He watches me
And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

Alabama | Hollywood | /a/alabama/hollywood_20005084.html | Atlanta, Georgia made her the Cotton Queen
L.A. bound she had visions of the silver screen
But Hollywood ain't nothin' but glamor and lights
To a blue-eyed blond with stars in her eyes
Her days are long. Lord, her nights are longer yet
Tryin' to find a part that will make her the Queen of sex
She's realizing what it's all about from too many nights upon the casting
couch
[Chorus:]
Hollywood: parties and thrills
The mansion in her mind is somewhere is Beverly Hills
She's been discovered too many times standing on the corner of Hollywood and
Vine
She makes her entrance now a days through the swingin' doors
She found her stage on a hardwood barroom floor
But it's not the bottom, just part of a long, hard fall
Her biggest fan's the man. Tonight she'll give her all
The dream is dyin' of her name on the marquee
The folks back home wonder what happened to their Queen
The mornin' papers told it in black and white, calling it another Hollywood
suicide
[Chorus:]

Alabama | I Ain't Got No Business Doin' | /a/alabama/i+aint+got+no+business+doin_20807884.html | I'm gonna call up my boss and tell him I'm ill
Gonna tell him I'm home, with the fever and chills
I don't usually lie but for your sweet love I will, I need it so
We won't be disturbed, the phone's off the hook
And when it comes to lovin' woman, you wrote the book
And I just saw that 'I want you' look and that's all it took, well I
Ain't got no business doin' business today
My little woman wants to stay home and play
Right in her arms is where I will stay
'Cause I ain't got no business doin' business today
Well, the boys at the plant are punching the clock
If they could see us darlin', oh, what a shock
They'd do the same if they had what I got
So please don't stop, well I
Ain't got no business doin' business today
My little woman wants to stay home and play
Right in her arms is where I will stay
'Cause I ain't got no business doin' business today
Ain't got no business doin' business today
My little woman wants to stay home and play
Right in her arms is where I will stay
'Cause I ain't got no business doin' business today

Alabama | I Love You Enough To Let You Go | /a/alabama/i+love+you+enough+to+let+you+go_20250544.html | I've rehearsed this day a thousand times
I've played this scene out in my mind
You spread your wings, you need to fly
It breaks my heart to say goodbye
These arms of mine want to pull you close
But I love you enough to let you go
My mind goes back to memories
Of pony rides upon my knee
First day of school, your brand new bike
And football games on Friday nights
And through the years I've watched you grow
And I love you enough to let you go
Don't look back when you drive away
I don't want to change your mind
I know in all your eighteen years
You've never seen your daddy cry
So many things I want to say
You'll meet new friends, you'll be okay
I'll pray for you out on your own
But don't forget your way back home
And though I may not let it show
I love you enough to let you go
Don't look back when you drive away
I don't want to change your mind
I know in all your eighteen years
You've never seen your daddy cry
These arms of mine want to pull you close
But I love you enough to let you go

Alabama | I Write A Little | /a/alabama/i+write+a+little_20347796.html | I lay out some paper, I take out my pen
Turn on my table lamp and here I go again
It's time to write a letter, I'm in the mood tonight
Gotta find a way to tell you how I feel inside
So I write a little,
And I cry a little
It's so hard to find a way
To say goodbye a little
But somewhere in the middle
My emotions interfere
So I write it a little,
And cry a little tear
And I've died a little,
Wishing you were here
God I miss you
Can't be with you
I would kiss you oh so good
'Cause you're my only cure for lonely
I'd call if I could
Well I've died a little,
Wishing you were here
Wishing you were here
Well I'm writing a little,
And wishing you were here
And I write a little,
And I cry a little tear
And I'm writing,
And wishing you were here

Alabama | If I Could Just See You Now | /a/alabama/if+i+could+just+see+you+now_20818620.html | Your love for me is gone
But my love for you lives on
And my memories of you
Will never die
I can just see you now
The special smile you gave to me
The face I'll love eternally
I see all the things you do
Your nearness seems so real to me
As though you really care with me
Can't believe it's just a memory
I can just see you now
Oh, girl if I only could
I wish with all my heart I could
Holding you would feel so good
If I could just see you now
I can just feel you now
The tender sweetness of your lips
As they brush across my fingertips
I feel the softness on your mind
So warm beside through the night
Holding you to the morning light
Oh, did you really say goodbye
I can just feel you now
Oh, girl if I only could
I wish with all my heart I could
Holding you would feel so good
If I could just see you now
I could just see you now
The special smile you gave to me
The face I'll love eternally
I see all the things you do

Alabama
Album: For The Record
If I had you we'd run like gypsies in the wind
We'd be lovers and we'd be friends, if I had you
If I had you we'd count the stars all one by one
We'd make love till they were gone oh, if I had you
'Cause you light a fire way down in my soul
The flame keeps growin' stronger
'Cause there ain't no control
And there's nothing, no there's nothing
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do, if I had you
If I had you, we'd sail the seven seas as one
We'd never say it can't be done, oh, if I had you
'Cause you light a fire way down in my soul
The flame keeps growin' stronger there ain't no control
And there's nothing, oh, there's nothing
I know there's nothing that I wouldn't do, if I had you
If I had you...

Alabama | If It Ain't Dixie | /a/alabama/if+it+aint+dixie_10003932.html | Oh I love those Colorado Rockies
And that big starry Montana sky
And the lights of San Francisco
On a California night
Enjoyed those ballgames in Chicago
On those windy afternoons
It' s a big beautiful country
But I' m never home too soon
If it ain' t Dixie, it won' t do
If it ain' t Dixie it don' t feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
I' ve had good times
North of the line
I' ve got a lot of good friends too
But if it ain' t Dixie, it won' t do
It won' t do
When the leaves turn in New England
I love the chill that' s in the air
I' ve walked the New York City sidewalks
Had a big time in Times Square
But now my wheels are rollin' southward
And heaven' s comin' into view
Home-sweet-home is Alabama
That' s what I look forward to
If it ain' t Dixie it don' t feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
I' ve had good times
North of the line
I' ve got a lot of good friends too
If it ain' t Dixie, it won' t do
It won' t do
If it ain' t Dixie
Oh no, Oh no-whoah
Now my wheels are rollin' southward
And heaven' s comin' into view
Home-sweet-home is Alabama
That' s what I look forward to
Y' all come to Dixie...

Alabama | If You're Gonna Play In Texas | /a/alabama/if+youre+gonna+play+in+texas_10003992.html | If you're gonna play in texas,
You gotta have a fiddle in the band.
That lead guitar is hot,
But not for "lousiana man".
So rosin up that bow for "faded love"
And let's all dance.
If you're gonna play in texas,
You gotta have a fiddle in the band.
I remember down in houston
We were puttin' on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled,
"cotton-eyed joe"!
He said, "we love what you're doin'.
Boys don't get us wrong,
There's just somethin' missin' in your song.
Chorus
So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight.
Them texans raised the roof when jeff opened up his case.
You say y'all all wanna two-step. You say ya wanna doe-si-doe.
Well, here's a fiddlin' song before we go.
Chorus
Repeat and fade

Alabama | I'm In A Hurry | /a/alabama/im+in+a+hurry_10003993.html | Chorus:
I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really got to do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why
Don't know why
I have to drive so fast
My car has nothing to prove
It's not new, but it'll do 0 to 60 in 5.2
Chorus
Can't be late
That leaves me plenty of time
Shakin' hands with the clock
I can't stop, I'm on a roll and ready to rock
Chorus
I hear a voice
It says I'm runnin' behind
I better pick up my pace
It's a race and there ain't no room
For someone in second place
Break
Chorus

Alabama | I'm In That Kind Of Mood | /a/alabama/im+in+that+kind+of+mood_20258976.html | There's something sexy 'bout the way you're dressed
I can see you're lookin' your best tonight, that's right
You're walkin' with a new attitude
There's something different 'bout the way you're movin' tonight, that's right
But before we walk out the door, let me say one thing more
Save one last dance for our bedroom
Baby, I'm in that kind of mood
There ain't no tellin' what we might do
When it's all over and the night is through
Baby, how 'bout you, I'm in that kind of mood
It's been a while since we've been out
It's overdue baby ain't no doubt you know, ain't it so
It's feelin' like our first date
To tell the truth now honey I can't wait to go
And I think you know
Well tonight it's just us two and baby I want you
But before we walk out the door, let me say one thing more
Save one last dance for our bedroom
Baby, I'm in that kind of mood
There ain't no tellin' what we might do

From a long hard day
Pull in at home, see you and find
My stress slipping away
Then you run to my arms
and give me a kiss
And nothing else matters
When you hold me like this
(Chorus)
Girl, I'm in the mood to be your man
To win your heart all over again
Let my eyes trace, let my lips taste
Nothing but you
I'm in the mood to close the door
Make love tonight like never before
Rush after rush, like waves on the shore
Girl, I'm in the mood
All day long I'm so strong
Then I hear you speak
I'm drawn to your fire, your signs of desire
Girl, you make me weak
I go drifting away
Like a leaf in the wind
I'm under a spell
Your touch put me in
Girl, I'm in the mood to be your man
To win your heart all over again
Let my eyes trace, let my lips taste
Nothing but you
Yeah, I'm in the mood to close the door
Make love tonight like never before
Rush after rush, like waves on the shore
Girl, I'm in the mood

Alabama | I'm Not That Way Anymore | /a/alabama/im+not+that+way+anymore_20522151.html | We used to get crazy ev'ry Saturday night
We'd drive into town and get feelin' right
A child of the sixties in seventy four
But I'm not that way anymore
Well I burned the tires off my chevrolet
Tryin' to impress the girls that I date
And I'd bet a gambler when I couldn't score
But I'm not that way anymore
[Chorus]
I'm not that way anymore
Time's closin' yesterday's door
But I'm just as happy as I was before
Cause I'm not that way anymore
American bandstand, the sullivan show
I listened to the opry on my ra--dee---I--o
Well dick clark's still lookin' as young as before
But I'm not that way anymore
Well I swapped my loafers for cowboy boots
Bought me some jeans gave away all my suits
My razor is rusted, my barber is poor
'Cause I'm not that way anymore
I'm not that way anymore
We're not that way anymore

Alabama | I'm Still Dreamin' | /a/alabama/im+still+dreamin_20265153.html | I know people who lose their lover turn around and they find another
Fall in love and then they break up I don't know if I want to wake up
Cause I'm still dreamin' I'm still dreamin' baby
I'm still dreamin' oh oh oh about you
Other women walk right up to me I hear them talking but it goes right through
me
I know it's love that's on the line but they don't know what's on my mind
Cause I'm still dreamin'...
It's like a voice that's always calling it's like a feelin' that I'm always
falling
I close my eyes and all I see is you you you
Cause I'm still dreamin'...
I'm still dreamin'...

I've had no sleep, sad songs. I'm stoned.
Our love, a fadin mem'ry as I chase another down.
My eyes are gettin' heavy and my head's spinnin' 'round.
Stil wond'rin if she'll ever come home.
I've had no sleep, sad songs, I'm stoned.
Closing time, I drive for home not feelin' any pain.
Thoughts of her drift back tome through the fallin' rain.
Not caring if she ever come shome.
I've had no sleep, sad songs. I'm stoned.
I've had no sleep, sad songs. I'm stoned.

Alabama | Jukebox In My Mind | /a/alabama/jukebox+in+my+mind_20005127.html | [Chorus]
In the corner of my mind stands a jukebox
It's playing all my favorite memories
One by one they take me back
To the days when you were mine
And i can't stop this jukebox in my mind
I don't need no quarters
Don't need any dimes
You filled it up forever
When you said goodbye
Heaven knows i love old melodies
They were meant to ease the pain
But the kind that's playing on my mind
Are driving me insane
[Chorus]
Song by song those melodies
Were meant to ease the pain
But the kind that's playing on my mind
Are driving me insane
[Chorus]
Tag
No i can't stop this jukebox in my mind

Alabama | Katy Brought My Guitar Back Today | /a/alabama/katy+brought+my+guitar+back+today_20230677.html | Katy brought my guitar back today
I left it there to play when I'd stay over
And I remember all those nights
Sittin' in the fireplace light
How she loved to hear me play
And Katy brought my guitar back today
Katy brought my guitar back today
I've seen it make her cry over and over
She told me when I wasn't there
And she would wake up feelin' scared
She'd hold it in her arms and be okay
Katy brought my guitar back today
We had our stormy times like anybody else
Oh, more than once I broke her heart
And when I couldn't tell her I was sorry by myself
I could tell her with an old guitar
But I'm afraid this time things have gone too far
Katy brought my guitar back today
I guess that means this time it's really over
And as I sit and play it now
The songs all seem so sad somehow
I wish that I'd 've left it in the case
Katy brought my guitar back today
And I remember all those nights
Sittin' in the fireplace light
How she loved to hear me play
But Katy brought my guitar back today

Alabama | Lady Down On Love | /a/alabama/lady+down+on+love_20005064.html | It's her first night on the town since she was just eighteen
A lady down on love and out of hope and dreams
The ties that once bound her now are broke away
And she's like a baby, just learning how to play
She never thought that love could ever end so soon
Her mind drifts back in time to a mid-summer moon
When he asked her to marry and she glady said O.K
And a woman came to be from the girl of yesterday
Now she's a lady down on love
She needs somebody to gently pick her up
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound
To a man who would love her and never let her down
Well, I know a lady that's down on her love
'Cause I used to hold her and have that special touch
But work took me a way from home late at nights
And I wasn't there when she turned out the lights
Then both of us got lonely and I gave into lust
And she just couldn't live with a man she couldn't trust
Now she's a lady down on love
She needs somebody to gently pick her up
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound
To man who would love her and never let her down

Alabama | Little Things | /a/alabama/little+things_20246820.html | You kiss me awake in the mornin'
Now what a way to start the day
With love notes that you leave me
Written in your own special way
You call me up for nothin'
I hear your voice on the line
We start talkin' 'bout lovin'
You get to me everytime
It's those little things you do that make me love you so
Little things that only you and I could ever know
You don't have to lay the whole wide world here at my feel, oh no
It's those little things you do that mean the most to me
Lyin' in the bed beside you
Touchin' in the middle of the night
No you don't have to do any talkin'
To tell me everything is all right
It's those little things you do that make me love you so
Little things that only you and I will ever know
You don't have to lay the whole wide world here at my feel, oh no
It's those little things you do that mean the most to me
It's those little things you do that mean the most to me

Alabama | Lonesome Valley | /a/alabama/lonesome+valley_20694883.html |
Well, you got to walk that lonesome valley
You got to walk it by yourselves
Nobody else can walk it for you
You got to walk it by yourselves
Now mother walked that lonesome valley
She had to walk it by herself
Cause nobody else could walk it for her
She had to walk it by herself
Now father walked that lonesome valley
He had to walk it by himself
Nobody else could walk it for him
He had to walk it by himself
Now John, they say, he was a Baptist
While others say, he was a Jew
But the holy bible plainly tells you
Oh, that he was a preacher too
Yeah, you got to walk that lonesome valley
You got to walk it by yourselves
Ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
You got to go there by yourselves
Yeah, we got to walk that lonesome valley
We got to walk it by ourselves (by ourselves)
Cause nobody else (nobody else) can walk it for us
We got to walk it by ourselves
Yeah, we got to walk (we got to walk)

We got to walk (we got to walk) it by ourselves (by ourselves)
Lord, nobody else (nobody else) can walk it for us

We got to walk (we got to walk) it by ourselves
Yeah, we got to walk (we got to walk) it by ourselves

Alabama | Love In The First Degree | /a/alabama/love+in+the+first+degree_20005086.html | I once thought of love as a prison
a place I didn't want to be
So long ago, I made a decision
to be footloose and fancy-free
But you came and I was so tempted
to gamble on love just one time
I never thought, that I would get caught
It seemed like the perfect crime
[Chorus:]
Baby you left me defense-less
I've only got one plea
Lock me away, inside of your love
and throw away the key
I'm guilty...of love in the first degree
I thought it would be so simple
like a thousand times before
I'd take what I wanted, and just walk away
but I never made it to the door
Now babe I'm not beggin' for mercy
go ahead and throw the book at me
If lovin' you's a crime
I know that I'm as guilty as a man can be
[Chorus]
Love in the first degree (oh-oh yeah)
Love in the first degree
Oh Yeeeaaaah!
[Chorus]

Alabama | Lovin' Man | /a/alabama/lovin+man_20005065.html | I don't mind the cold and rain where I'm waiting
I'm holding on to your mem'ry as tight as I can
And silver wings are bringing you back so I can hold you
And let me know that I'm still your lovin' man
You carry my dreams through the darkness while I'm sleeping
The part of love that I need to fit my plan
And I don't need nobody else to ease my feelings
As long as I can be your lovin' man
I been waiting here for days to see that big steel bird arrive
And just the thought of lovin' you is what's kept this man alive
Share with me all the joy life can bring us
Though my kingdows may be castles made of sand
Darlin' please spend your sunshine days beside me
And let me always be your lovin' man
Your lovin' man (lovin' man)
And let me be (your lovin' man)
Your lovin' man (lovin' man)
And let me be (your lovin' man)
Your lovin' man (lovin' man)

Alabama | Once Upon A Lifetime | /a/alabama/once+upon+a+lifetime_10003922.html | Once upon a lifetime
I looked in someone's eyes
And felt the fire burning in my heart
For the very first time
She was scared and young
And had never tasted love
So I took her by the hand
And a boy became a man
Once upon a lifetime
And once upon a lifetime
You hold the Queen of Hearts
And if you gamble on a diamond win
The dealin' starts
You stand to lose it all
As the cards begin to fall
And the lesson learned is hard
You're only dealt the Queen of Cards
Once upon a lifetime
So if you're taking chances, know the chance you take
A broken heart's a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
And the best things seldom come along twice
Once upon a lifetime
You know that you've been blessed
When you hold your first born tenderly against your chest
And through the innocence you see
The value of a family
And you feel a special bond
That only comes along
Once upon a lifetime
So if you're taking chances, know the chance you take
A broken heart's a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
And the best things seldom come along twice
And people only find love like yours and mine
Once upon a lifetime

Alabama | Pass It On Down | /a/alabama/pass+it+on+down_20005129.html | We live in the land of plenty
But many things aren't plenty anymore
Like the water from our sink
They say's not safe to drink
You gotta go and buy it at the store
Now we're told there's a hole in the ozone
Look what's washing on the beach
And Lord, I believe, from the heavens to the seas
We're bringing Mother Nature to her knees
[Chorus]
So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down
Well there's a change taking place way on the mountains
Acid rain is falling on the leaves
And down in Brazil, the fires are burning still
How we gonna breathe without them trees
[Chorus]
There's a place where I live called the Canyon
Where Daddy taught me to swim
And that water, it's so pure
And I'm gonna make sure
Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him
Now we all oughta feel just a little bit guilty
When we look into the eyes of our kids
'Cause brothers it's a fact, if we take and don't put back
They'll have to pay for all we did
[Chorus: x 4]
Tag:
Leave it and pass it on down

Alabama | Precious Memories | /a/alabama/precious+memories_20709068.html | Precious memories, flood my soul
Precious memories, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger ever near me
And the sacred past unfolds
Precious father and loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memories appear
As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Echo's from the past I hear
Old time singing, gladness bringing
From that lovely land somewhere
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred seems unfold
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred seems unfold

Alabama | Reckless | /a/alabama/reckless+_20005142.html | Let's roll the windows down, turn the radio up
Let the wind blow through our hair
Love is reckless
Let's get reckless tonight
There ain't nothin' out here but a big ol' Texas sky
There's a red sun painted across the coming night
Well, your daddy's got plans for you
and mine thinks I'm at school
They say it's reckless to chase a dream
But this town's got nothing for you and me
Let's roll the windows down, turn the radio up
Let the wind blow through our hair
There's a moon tonight and a road outside, baby
We're gettin out of here.
I could care less where it leads us
Love is reckless let's get reckless tonight
Let's take my Thunderbird and leave tonight,
I'll keep the pedal to the floor till we see the morning light.
They can't live our lives for us,
If we let them we'll lose our love.
And love dies hard in this Texas sun,
I'd rather be reckless and on the run
Let's roll the windows down, turn the radio up
Let the wind blow through our hair
There's a moon tonight and a road outside, baby
We're gettin out of here.
I could care less where it leads us
Love is reckless let's get reckless tonight
When you're crazy in love you gotta take a chance,
Burn the bridge and don't look back.
Turn the radio up roll the windows down
Let the wind blow through our hair
There's a moon tonight and a road outside,
Baby we're gettin' out of here
Roll the windows down.
Turn the radio up

Alabama | She Can | /a/alabama/she+can_20211475.html | She can light a fire under me
Give me all the courage that I need
She can see a side I just can't see, she can
She can make me smile when I wanna cry
Find a way to change my state of mind
She can always reach through my disguise, she can
When my world gets crazy and I just can't cope
She throws her arms around me and gives me hope
When I got the desire but I got no plans
I need someone to understand, oh, only she can
She can take the chill out of winter nights
Take away the wrong from what's not right
She can make the darkest hour look bright, she can
When I really need to make a stand
But I don't believe in who I am
When I really want to but I just can't, she can
When my world gets crazy and I just can't cope
She throws her arms around me and gives me hope
When I got the desire but I got no plans
I need someone to understand, oh, only she can
I try to do for her what she does for me
'Cause I want our love to grow
I'm gonna hold on tightly only a fool would let her go
'Cause when my world gets crazy and I just can't cope
She throws her arms around me and gives me hope
When I got the desire but I got no plans
I need someone to understand, oh, only she can
Yes, she can
Only she can

Alabama | Small Stuff | /a/alabama/small+stuff_20256341.html | There's a little cafe' on the corner of town
Lucy works there 'til the sun goes down
It ain't very much but she brings home the bacon and the bread
We got a mortgage we pay just a little bit on
But it seems like all of our money is gone
Before we get a chance to get ahead
That's small stuff, we don't sweat the small stuff
Why worry about the mortgage and the minimum wage
Traffic and the taxes and the coming of age
Small stuff
There's a comfort in the knowing there's a spirit in us
Giving us the courage and the wisdom to trust
In a love that's so much greater than all the small stuff
So we don't sweat the small stuff
There's a little bitty hole in the ceiling above
Sometimes the rain drips down on our temple of love
We have to put a pot smack dab in the middle of the bed
Somebody hit my car at the diner last night
Had to drive it home with one taillight
When I went out this morning, the engine was dead
That's small stuff, we don't sweat the small stuff
Why worry about the mortgage and the minimum wage
Traffic and the taxes and the coming of age
Small stuff
There's a comfort in the knowing there's a spirit in us
Giving us the courage and the wisdom to trust
In a love that's so much greater than all the small stuff
So we don't sweat the small stuff
There's a little cafe' on the corner of town
Lucy works there 'til the sun goes down
And she don't sweat the small stuff

Alabama | Tar Top | /a/alabama/tar+top_20328538.html | It was July hot 'cross Georgia on my way to myrtle beach
I just got my diploma so I set out in search of me
The honeymoon was over and Alabama was far away
From being little more than just a southern state
I got a gig down at the Bowery
I played for tip and watered drinks
Just a novice in a business
That's seldom what it seems
And where are you goin' tar top
Where's J.C. and the chosen few?
I saw the flash without T.Gentry
And B.V. left for Malibu
I was July, hot and thirty, some years down the line
When the boys touched the nation, unaware at the time
I got to go to Texas, California, New York too
A farm boy who is thankful to be standin' in his shoes
But in the Bowery hangs the memories
Of dreams that still come true
Every time I see the spotlights
I'm one of the chosen few
And where are you going tar top
J.C. and the chosen few
There's no flash without T.Gentry
B.V. where are you?
Where are you goin' tar top
Which direction will you take
What's this contraband clamor
About the music that you make?
And where are you goin' tar top
Is it country enough?
Is it contemporary glamor?
No it's us, just us

Alabama | The Boy | /a/alabama/the+boy_20522137.html | He stays up at night till way after dark
Feeding the dog that lives in our yard
He'll put on my shoes and stumble around
But together we can catch any outlaw in town
The boy tries to be just like me
I'm all that he tries to be
Watching cartoons on my knee
Mamma's little man and me
He wants to know how this and that goes
He'll play all day on a mountain of clay
And he'll fight with me to show that he's strong
But if he gets hurt it's mamma he wants
The boy tries to be just like me
I'm all that he tries to be
Watching cartoons on my knee
It's mamma's little man and me
Some day I know he'll leave us alone
Break mamma's heart I'll try to be strong
But if I shed a tear I hope he won't see
The big man is him and the boy is me
The boy tried to be just like me
He's all that I try to be
Now I'm watching cartoons on my knees
And mamma's little man is me
Let's go to bed mamma

The moon above
Yeah you can tell a lot about a man

She knows him inside out
The things he dreams about
And makes them come true when she can
She knows all of his faults
The demons he's fought
With nothin' but his hard-workin' hands
And he calls out her name
In passion and pain
She makes him stronger each time
Yeah it's there on her lips
And her fingertips
That she's with him to 'til end of the line

Alabama | Then Again | /a/alabama/then+again_20275449.html | We could walk away now
Call it over and done
Say we fought the good fight
And nobody won
Say we're both better off
That worse came to worst
So we didn't last
Hey, we're not the first
But then again
If we give it one more try
We might find the feeling
Never really died
And there's still a chance to be
All we might have been
And find the love we had back then again
Off to such a good start
But somehow it seems
We've let our hearts
Fall apart at the dreams
We could throw in the towel
Walk away with our pride
Say it just wasn't worth
All the tears that we cried
But then again
If we give it one more try
We might find the feeling
Never really died
And there's still a chance to be
All we might have been
Let's find the love we had back then again
Baby, if we want it bad enough
We can make it better than it ever was
And there's still a chance to be
All we might have been
Let's find the love we had back then again

Alan Parsons Project | All Our Yesterdays | /a/alan+parsons+project/all+our+yesterdays_20914103.html | The stakes are high
We have to seize the chance
A case of do or die
This is our last dance
A moment's hesitation and we always pay the price
Hiding in the wings is just like walking on thin ice
All our yesterdays will soon be ending
Hide the walking shadow on the stage
All our yesterdays be soon forgotten
There's an easy way to turn the page
The vision is too real
The prize is there to take
We're on an even keel
No demons in our way
If you stack the cards you will one day find your heaven
Both sides of the dice are always adding up to seven
All our yesterdays will soon be ending
Hide the walking shadow on the stage
All our yesterdays be soon forgotten
There's an easy way to turn the page
Yesterday's tomorrow is tomorrow's yesterday
Find More lyrics at
Destiny's forgotten, there's another game to play
No more future perfect we just need the present tense
All our yesterdays are only hanging in suspense
Hang the banners high
On the outward walls
The battles lost and won
That's when the hammer falls
Racing to the future we must never lose our way
All we have to do is take tomorrow's chance today
All our yesterdays have come of age
Now we all can sing a different song
All our yesterdays have all departed
The writing on the wall will soon be gone
All our yesterdays (all our yesterdays)
Now we all can sing a different song
All our yesterdays (all our yesterdays)
The writing on the wall will soon be gone
All our yesterdays have come of age
The writing on the wall will soon be gone

Well I sympathise completely but there's nothing I can do
I am just a humble servant with a message here for you
Well I know you have good reasons and there's things you've got to do
But the boatman won't be waiting and he's leaving here with you
And you can't take it with you
No matter what you do
No you can't take it with you
Not the place you're going to
(one more mile, one more road, one last bridge, one less load)
Well I sympathise completely but there's nothing I can do
I am just obeying orders, I'm a simple soul like you
Well you really are persuasive, but I've heard it all before
And the boatman's getting restless as he stands upon the shore
And you can't take it with you
No matter what you do
No you can't take it with you
Not the place you're going to
Can't take it with you

Alan Parsons Project | Days Are Numbers | /a/alan+parsons+project/days+are+numbers_20005423.html | The traveler is always leaving town
He never has the time to turn around
And if the road he's taken isn't leading anywhere
He seems to be completely unaware
The traveler is always leaving home
The only kind of life he's ever known
When every moment seems to be
A race against the time
There's always one more mountain left to climb
Days are numbers, watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday, you'll know where you are, remember
Days are numbers, count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are
The traveler awaits the morning tide
He doesn't know what's on the other side
But something deep inside of him
Keeps telling him to go
He hasn't found a reason to say no
The traveler is only passing through
He cannot understand your point of view
Abandoning reality, unsure of what he'll find
The traveler in me is close behind
Days are numbers, watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers, count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers, watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday you'll know where you are

Alan Parsons Project | Don't Answer Me | /a/alan+parsons+project/dont+answer+me_20005290.html | If you believe in the power magic,
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone,
Turn and look behind
When we were living in a dream world,
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away
Dont answer me, dont break the silence
Dont let me win
Dont answer me, stay on your island
Dont let me in
Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things weve said and done?
If you believe in the power of magic,
Its all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone,
Just pretend its me
It aint enough that we meet as strangers
I cant set you free
So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?
Dont answer me, dont break the silence
Dont let me win
Dont answer me, stay on your island
Dont let me in
Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things weve said and done?

Alan Parsons Project | Don't Let The Moment Pass | /a/alan+parsons+project/dont+let+the+moment+pass_20005318.html | Lead vocal: marti webb
This golden day will be mine
For every moment in time
If time should lose her way
A symphony in the night
Of stars that dance in the light
And music far away
They say that love is but a dance
Don't let the music fade away
Don't let the moment pass
Without reason or rhyme
The sweet bouquet of the wine
Will vanish in the air
The innocence of the rose
She leaves where she goes
For all the world to share
Some days when clouds are drifting by
I open my eyes and watch them go
And wonder where they fly
Some nights orion runs too fast
I look to the stars as if to say
Don't let the moment pass
But soon a golden age is past
Just when it seemed that miracles
Where not too much to ask
And though the world may turn too fast
If it should seem like paradise
Don't let the moment pass

Alan Parsons Project | Eye In The Sky | /a/alan+parsons+project/eye+in+the+sky_20005307.html | [Verse:]
Don't think
Sorry's easily said
Don't try
Turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinking
Don't say
Words you're gonna regret
Don't let
Fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take anymore
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
[Chorus 1]
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see anymore
To know that
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind
[Verse 2:]
Don't leave
False illusions behind
Don't cry
I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving
[Chorus 2:]
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see anymore
To know that
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind
[Chorus 3 -Final]
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see anymore
To know that
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind (Looking At You),
I can read your mind

What's the use of worrying
If we'll be here tomarrow
All we need to be is here today
Don't care if you're rich
Or if you have to beg and borrow
You can always find a way
Dive and breakaway
Fall free
Freedom's in the air
It's calling you
Your heart is there
Fall free
Blaze accross the sky
The perfect fall
The perfect high
Mother earth looks peaceful
As we climb towards the ceiling
We must be ten thousand feet or more
Hear the windrush screaming
While we fight to curb our feelings
As we stand beside the door
Let our spirits soar
Fall free
Freedom's in the air
It's calling you
Your heart is there
Fall free
Blaze accross the sky
The perfect fall
The perfect high

Alan Parsons Project | I'd Rather Be A Man | /a/alan+parsons+project/id+rather+be+man_20005299.html | (lead vocal - david paton)
You don't fool me with your tinted eyes and make-up
The firebird hides in shadow when you wake up
Your golden hair is black
Your jeans are tight but your hide is slack
Try it on the company but you don't fool me
Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do
I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do
I'd rahter be a man than slave the way that you do
I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do
You don't fool me with your easy lies and fables
You won't see me in ten buck furs and sables
You sparkle like a snake
The wine is real but the glass if fake
Blame it on the apple tree but you don't fool me
Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do
I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do
I'd rahter be a man than slave the way that you do
I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do
Your golden hair is black
Your jeans are tight but your hide is slack
Try it on the company but you don't fool me
Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do
I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do
I'd rahter be a man than slave the way that you do
I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do
I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do
I'd rather be a man cause I wouldn't wanna be like you

Alan Parsons Project | May Be A Price To Pay | /a/alan+parsons+project/may+be+a+price+to+pay_20005401.html | Something's wrong in this house today
While the master was riding the servants decided to play
Something's wrong in this house today
Something's been going on, there may be a price to pay
There's evil brewing, getting out of control
And I'm helpless, I can't put it right
Something unrighteous is possessing my soul
And it's cold in the heat of the night
Something's wrong in this house today
While the sorcerer slept the apprentice decided to play
While the master was hiding the servants decided to play
Might be too much sun or too much of something in the air
Whatever's happening nobody else is aware
There's evil brewing, getting out of control
And I'm helpless, I can't put it right
Something unrighteous is possessing my soul
And it's cold in the heat of the night
Something's wrong in this house today
Something's been going on, there may be a price to pay

Alan Parsons Project | Mr. Time | /a/alan+parsons+project/mr+time_20522100.html | Stealing a moment from Mr. Time
He rocks in his chair like a shiny dime
But it's all for show, all for show.
Wearing your name and a number or two
When the minute's up, so are you
But everybody knows, everybody knows.
Watching the hour from the light in his eyes,
He waits for your soul to come in from the sky
But it's lost below, lost below.
Turning the Wheel of your destiny round,
When the motion stops no more sound,
Does anybody care, anybody care.
Where's the man, where's the child
Wrapped together side by side.
Who can tell you what to do,
When Mr. Time has come for you.
See the truth, hear the lies,
Can there be no compromise
And who can tell you what they knew,
When Mr. Time has come for you.
Is it a feeling of deja vu?
When he points his finger calling you
Is it illusion? Just an illusion
Picking up seconds that fall to his feet
He blows them away as rocks on his seat,
Cool as his smile, his smile.
Where's the man, where's the child
Wrapped together side by side.
Who can tell you what to do,
When Mr. Time has come for you
See the truth, hear the lies,
Can there be no compromise
And who can tell you what they knew,
When Mr. Time has come for you.

Alan Parsons Project | So Far Away | /a/alan+parsons+project/so+far+away_20005359.html | (bairnson)
We say welcome to the mission
Show us all what you can do
We need a man with vision
So we put our trust in you
And now we hope sincerely
That you'll do the best that you can do
Oh for sure it won't be easy
And we will have to risk our lives
Some will try to break us
And cut us down to size
But jsut remember
There can be no consolation prize
Not in our eyes
It's a long way to go
We can't wait one more day
We need someone to light up the way
We may run out of time
Can you hear what we say?
Because heaven is so far away
Although time is getting short
There's still some sand left in the glass
And now we have a living breathing
Rocket man at last
It's time to take a step
And nail our colours to the mast
No more talk of great adventures
When it's movement that we need
It must be our intention
That we never loose the lead
So count us down to zero
And let's get up to speed
We're up and away
It's a long way to go
We can't wait one more day
We need someone to light up the way
We may run out of time
So believe what we say?
Because heaven is so far away
And so now they cry for justice
As if justice will be done
But the eye up in the sky
Was flying to close to the sun
The challenger has fallen
And the race has now been run....

Alan Parsons Project | Somebody Out There | /a/alan+parsons+project/somebody+out+there_20005427.html | Maybe I'm imagining the things they say about me
Maybe there is really nothing there at all
Standing in the middle while the rumours fly around me
Hiding from a shadow on an empty wall
When my back is turned he's up to something else
And I must not stop believing in myself
Am I dreaming will the nightmare just go on
And never end
Somebody out there, says that he's you
Somebody out there, talks like you do
He calls up your number
And you can't get through somebody out there
Wish that I could run away and leave it all behind me
Wish I wasn't hurt by all the things they say
If I didn't need to know the simple truth about me
Wouldn't it be easier to walk away
And I don't need more confusion in my life
No more pain and disillusion in my life
If I'm dreaming will the nightmare just go on
And never end
Somebody out there, using your name
Somebody out there, you get the blame
There's doubt and suspicion
It's hard to explain somebody out there
And I don't need more confusion in my life
No more pain and disillusion in my life
If I'm dreaming will the nightmare just go on
And never end
Somebody out there, stolen your base
Somebody out there, parked in your space
You've no reservation, he's taken your place
Somebody out there, wasting your time
Somebody out there, using your dime
Your friends think you're crazy
They're way out of line
Somebody out there, says that he's you
Somebody out there, thinks like you do
You stare at the mirror
You're looking into
Somebody out there

Alan Parsons Project | Take The Money And Run | /a/alan+parsons+project/take+the+money+run_20005408.html | Stuart Elliot vocal
Ask yourself a question now there's a multiple choice
"You've only one shot, get it right", says a distance voice
Don't get your head into a spin
If only you could see the mess you're in
The enemy is closing in see the white of his eye
He's taking in his prey in sight it's just a matter of time
May the games begin the best man win
If only you could see the mess you're in
Is it the pride in you that wont let go
Is it the fool that wont let it show
Free yourself
If only you could see yourself
If you could see yourself
And when the heavens opened up and the walls come tumbling down
You know there is the only place to go
And when you've had enough of fighting
And every mean trick under the sun
But still you fear the worst is yet to come
Take the money and run
Count the bottles one by one as they fall to the ground
Search your mind your heart your soul until the answer is found
But watch your step the ice is thin
If only you could see the mess you're in
The man in black looks down on you the insignificant one
To be or not if all so true the deal is almost done
It matters not you're lost to him
If only you could see the mess you're in
Is it the pride in you that wont let go
Is it the fool that wont let it show?
Free yourself
If only you could see yourself
If you could see yourself
And when the heavens opened up and the walls come tumbling down
You know it is the only place to go
And when you've had enough of fighting
And every mean trick under the sun
But still you fear the worst is yet to come
Take the money and run

Alan Parsons Project | The Cask Of Amontillado | /a/alan+parsons+project/the+cask+of+amontillado_20005381.html | By the last breath of the four winds that blow
I'll have revenge upon Fortunato
Smile in his face I'll say "come let us go
I've a cask of Amontillado"
Sheltered inside from the cold of the snow
Follow me now to the vault down below
Drinking the wine as we laugh at the time
Which is passing incredibly slow
(What are these chains that are binding my arm?)
Part of you dies each passing day
(Say it's a game and I'll come to no harm)
You'll feel your life slipping away
You who are rich and whose troubles are few
May come around to see my point of view
What price the Crown of a King on his throne
When you're chained in the dark all alone
(Spare me my life only name your reward)
Part of you dies each brick I lay
(Bring back some light in the name of the Lord)
You'll feel your mind slipping away

Alan Parsons Project | The Eagle Will Rise Again | /a/alan+parsons+project/the+eagle+will+rise+again_20005367.html | And I could easily fall from grace
Then another would take my place
For the chance to behold your face
As the days of my life are but grains of sand
As they fall from your open hand
At the call of the wind's command
Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say
The fall upon the ears of those who don't know the way
To read between the lines, that lead between the lines, that lead me to you
All that I ask you
Is, show me how to follow you and I'll obey
Teach me how to reach you I can't find my own way
Let me see the light, let me be the light
As the sun turns slowly around the sky
Till the shadow of night is high
The eagle will learn to fly
As the days of his life are but grains of sand
As they fall from your open hand
And vanish upon the land
Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say
The fall upon the ears of those who don't know the way
To read between the lines, that lead between the lines, that lead me to you
Show me how to follow you and I'll obey
Teach me how to reach you I can't find my own way
Let me see the light, let me be the light
And so, with no warning, no last goodbye
In the dawn of the morning sky
The eagle will rise again

Alan Parsons Project | The Fall Of The House Of Usher - I Prelude | /a/alan+parsons+project/the+fall+of+the+house+of+usher+i+prelude_20702854.html | [instrumental]
(I) Prelude
"Shadows of shadows passing. It is now 1831, and as always I am
absorbed with a delicate thought. It is how poetry has indefinite
sensations, to which end music is inessential. Since the comprehension
of sweet sound is our most indefinite conception, music, when combined
with a pleasurable idea, is poetry. Music without the idea is simply music.
Without music or an intriguing idea, colour becomes pallor, man becomes
carcase, home becomes catacomb, and the dead are but for a moment
motionless."

Alan Parsons Project | The Raven | /a/alan+parsons+project/the+raven_20005383.html | The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more
To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the silence
It spoke that one word
That I shall hear forever more
Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore
And still the raven remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
No prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore
Quoth the raven, nevermore
Thus quoth the raven
Nevermore

Alan Parsons Project | The Real World | /a/alan+parsons+project/the+real+world_20005376.html | Lead vocal - john miles
One more compromise I won't be making
One more easy way out I won't be taking
So many chances don't come twice
So many eyes are made of ice
One more cheating hand I won't be shaking
One more substitute I won't be trying
One more piece of the rock that I'm not buying
So many times we stand and fight
So many reasons can't be right
One more simple truth I'm not denying
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many lonely nights in the real world
Too many fools who don't think twice
Too many ways to pay the price
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
One more sacrifice I won't be making
One more golden rule I won't be breaking
No one to let me state my case
No one to tell me to my face
One more sweet suprise I won't be faking
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many lonely nights in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many lonely nights in the real world
Too many games that I can't play
Too many windmills in my way
Don't wanna live in the real world

Alan Parsons Project | The Ring | /a/alan+parsons+project/the+ring_20005329.html | Lead vocal: eric stewart
Round your finger
Token of the love we give one another
Music of the future that we'll discover
Promises to keep more than any other
Symbolising all that we share
The ring is magic
The ring is power
Like a candle in the dark for everyone to see
The ring is madness
The ring is fire
And it burns with all the brightness of the sun
In a circle
Living in a world of perpetual motion
Turning with the tide of a restless ocean
Spinning on the wheel of your own emotion
Ridin on a wild carrousel
You'll be turning round and round
Round and round we go
Promises, promises, promises, promises
Round your finger
After all the years we've been together
Walking in the sun and stormy weather
Sharing in a moment to last forever
Memories and dreams without end
The ring is magic
The ring is power
And it finds you in the darkness of the night
The ring is madness
The ring is fire
And it guides you when you're blinded by the light
The ring is magic
The ring is power
Like a candle in the dark for all to see
The ring is madness
The ring is fire
And it burns with all the brightness of the sun
The ring is magic, magic, fire, fire
The ring is mine

Now the light in my life is gone from me
Is it always the same
Is the night never ending
Tell me what to do
All the hopes and the dreams went wrong for me
There's a smile on my face
But I'm only pretending
Taking my life
One day at a time
Cause I can't think what else to do
Taking some time
To make up my mind
When there's no one to ask but you
The same old sun would shine in the morning
The same bright eyes would welcome me home
And the moon would rise way over my head
And get through the night alone
And the same old sun will shine in the morning
The same bright stars will welcome me home
And the clouds will rise way over my head
I'll get through the night on my own
Tell me what to do
Now there's nobody watching over me
If I seem to be calm
Well it's all an illusion
Tell me what to do
When the fear of the night comes over me
There's a smile on my face
Just to hide the confusion
Taking my life
One day at a time
Cause I can't think what else to do
Taking some time
To make up my mind
When there's no one to ask but you
The same old sun would shine in the morning
The same bright eyes would welcome me home
And the moon would rise way over my head
And get through the night alone
And the same old sun will shine in the morning
The same bright stars will welcome me home
And the clouds will rise way over my head
I'll get through the night on my own

Lying alone in helpless silence in the night
You should have seen him
You would have seen his eye reflecting in the light
So for the old man
Ashes to ashes, earth to earth and dust to dust
No one will see me
No one with guilt to share, no secret soul to trust
Louder and louder
Till I could tell the sound was not within my ears
You should have seen me
You would have seen my eyes grow white and cold with fear
Heard all the things in Heaven and Earth
I've seen many things in Hell
But his vulture's eye of a cold pale blue
Is the eye of the Devil himself
Take me away now
But let the silence drown the beating of his heart

(Lead vocal - Chris Rainbow)
There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And a wheel in perpetual motion
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
With no show of outward emotion
And they think it will make their lives easier
For God knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
And not all's the king's horse and all the king's men
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
For they think it will make their lives easier
And God knows it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
As he enters inside the cathedral...

You look all around you, but nobody's there
It's been a long time now since you've been aware
That somebody's watching you
He's gonna get you
Sooner or later when your big chances come
You'll look for the catches, but there'll be none
Remember before you grab the money and run
That someone is watching you
He's gonna get you.
Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
'Cause you can't escape the voice
Jumping with shadows that come up from behind
You're scared of the darkness that's there in your mind
You're frightened to move because of what you might find
Someone is watching you
He's gonna get you.
Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice

Lead vocal: john miles
What kind of madness rule the world today
What earthly reason holding sway
There is no heaven at all
For some may weep
And some may sleep
While some may rise
And some may fall
No one is an island
No one born alone
No man can turn the tide of fortune on his own
Though some may dare to try
Say there but for the grace of God go you my friend
Say there but for the grace of God go I
Go I
And so we live in lives of fantasy
And dream of dreams that hold the key
And we follow like sheep
We thread the path
That leads to thee
We seek the soul that is not ours to keep
No one is an island
No one born alone
No man can turn the tide of fortune on his own
Though some may dare to try
Say there but for the grace of God go you my friend
Say there but for the grace of God go I
Go i

Music Written By Alan Parsons, Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland
Lyrics by Alan Parsons
You drink the wine
You play the fool
You cross the line
You lose your cool
But no one cares
Still no one cares
You raise the bar
Lost in a trance
One bridge too far
No second chance
But no one cares
Still no one cares
We play the game
We hold our own
We fight to win
We stand alone
You had a dream
You cast the dice
Your shady scheme
You paid the price
But no one cares
Still no one cares
We play the game
With hearts of stone
You lose again
You're on your own
A turning tide
A streak of light
Arms open wide
The end's in sight
And someone cares
Yes someone cares
We play the game
We hold our own
We fight to win
We stand alone

Aled Jones | Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace | /a/aled+jones/make+me+a+channel+of+your+peace_20996426.html | Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me bring Your love,
Where there is injury, Your pardon Lord,
And where there's doubt, true faith in You
Oh Master, grant that I may never seek,
So much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood, as to understand,
To be loved, as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there's despair in life let me bring hope,
Where there is darkness, let me bring light,
And where there's sadness, bring Your joy
Oh Master, grant that I may never seek,
So much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood, as to understand,
To be loved, as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there's despair in life let me bring hope,
Where there is darkness, let me bring Your light,
And where there's sadness, bring Your joy
Oh Master, grant that I may never seek,
So much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood, as to understand,
To be loved, as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace,
For when we give, we will ourselves receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And in dying that we gain eternal life
And in dying that we gain eternal life

Aled Jones | Walking In The Air | /a/aled+jones/walking+in+the+air_20996438.html | We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low
On an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep
And walking in the air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
We're walking in the air
We're walking in the air

Alice Cooper | Apple Bush | /a/alice+cooper/apple+bush_20294415.html | But over in a land that's in my back yard
There's a people who succeed, they don't try hard
Well, they found a way to live with ease
By eating from the bush instead of the trees
Apple bush, apple tree
Path to eternity
Find you a path and you follow the call
Apple bush, apple tree
Back to eternity
Cut you a path with a chance you may fall
Well, over in a corner, standing there
Telling my house that they haven't a single care
But my house does not listen (worry) it's got a path of it's own
Yet the bush, and a tree, never leave it alone
Apple Bush, apple tree
Back to eternity
Find you a path and you buy with a call
Apple bush, apple tree
Back to eternity
Cut you a path with a chance you may fall
Someday like my house you're going to chose too
If you cut this new path well the old one will do
and you live with the people who live with ease
The red apple bush, the blue apple tree

Alice Cooper | Ballad Of Dwight Fry | /a/alice+cooper/ballad+of+dwight+fry_20155916.html | Mommy where's daddy?
He's been gone for so long.
Do you think he'll ever come home?
I was gone for fourteen days
I coulda been gone for more
Held up in the intensive care ward
Lyin' on the floor
I was gone for all those days
But I, was not all alone
I made friends with a lot of people
In the danger zone
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
Since I've gone away
I think I lost some weight there
And I, I'm sure I need some rest
Sleepin don't come very easy
In a straight white vest
Should like to see that little children
She's only four years old.. old
I'd give her back all of her play things
Even, even the ones I stole
See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone insane
I want to get out of here
I want to get out of here
I, I've gotta, I've gotta get out of here
I, I gotta get out of here
I, I gotta get out of here
IgottagetoutahereIgottagetoutahereIgottagetoutahere
Ya gotta let me out of here
Let me outta her
Etc
See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my lonely mind explode
Blown up in my face
I grabbed my hat and I got my coat
And I, I ran into the street
I saw a man that was choking there
I guess he couldn't breathe
Said to myself this is very strange
I'm glad it wasn't me
But now I hear those sirens callin'
And so I am not free
I didn't want to be
I didn't want to be
I didn't want to be
See my lonely life unfold
(I didn't want to be)
I see it every day
(Leave me alone
I didn't want to be
Don't touch me!)
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone Insane

Alice Cooper | Be My Lover | /a/alice+cooper/be+my+lover_20157899.html | She struts into the room
Well I don't know her
But with a magnifying glance
I just sorta look her over
We have a drink or two, well maybe three
And then suddenly, she starts telling me her life story
She says
[Chorus]
Baby, if you want to, be my lover
You better take me home
Cause it's a long long way to paradise
And I'm still on my own.
Told her that I came from Detroit City
And I played guitar in a long haired rock and roll band
She asked me why the singer's name was Alice
I said 'listen baby, you really wouldn't understand'
And I said
[Chorus]
On my own,
Oh, baby, if you want to, be my lover
You better take me home,
Cause it's a long, long way, to paradise,
And I'm still on my own, own

Alice Cooper | Be With You Awhile | /a/alice+cooper/be+with+you+awhile_20163704.html | I wish I could tell you something you didn't know
I wish I could give you something you didn't owe
I wish I could tell you a joke to make you smile
And I could be with you awhile
Just want to be that someone you weren't looking for
Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door
And when you're sad and blue my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile
I just want to take you somewhere you haven't been
Find an old time movie where we don't know the end
Lost in the radio, drive another mile
So I could be with you awhile
Just want to be that someone you weren't looking for
Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door
And when you're sad and blue my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile
Tired of serious conversation
Tangled up in situations
I feel so free 'cause you want nothing from me
Just want to be that someone you weren't looking for
Some hopeless vagabond asleep there on your floor
And when you're old and gray my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile
Just want to be that someone you weren't looking for
Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door
And when you're old and gray my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile
I just want to be with you awhile
I just want to be with you awhile
I just want to be with you....

Alice Cooper | Between High School And The Old School | /a/alice+cooper/between+high+school+old+school_20163370.html | Hey Hey
Hey Hey
I guess I'm a loner and I don't fit in (No...)
I ain't too comfortable in my skin (oh...)
An' I don't play well with the others
I'm stuck somewhere between high school and old school
I can't decide between my rules and your rules
Hey Hey
Hey Hey
Nobody wants me hanging round
Unless it's from a tree in the middle of town
And I'm out of step with the others
I'm stuck somewhere between high school and old school
I can't decide between my rules and your rules
I'm stuck somewhere between high school and old school
So I defy maybe all rules maybe no rules
My clothes don't make me
My hair ain't cut right
And I don't care much
No I don't care at all
I guess my brain is out of synch, I think
I'm stuck somewhere between high school and old school
I can't decide between my rules and your rules
I'm stuck somewhere between high school and old school
I can't decide, I just can't decide
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Aw...

Alice Cooper | Blue Turk | /a/alice+cooper/blue+turk_20157063.html | I'm lazy, you know it
I'm ready for the second show
Amazin', thing growing
Just waitin' for the juice to flow
But you're so very picturesque
You're so very cold
Tastes like roses on your breath
But graveyards on your soul
I'm hurting, I'm wanting
I'm aching for another go
You're squirming wet, baby
Nothin' bad comin' very slow
And it's burnin' holes in me
You're so very picturesque
You're so very cold
It tastes like roses on your breath
But graveyards on your soul... whoa-oh
One spastic explosion
Two pressure-cookers go insane
It makes me act crazy
I shiver but I love this game
You're so very ordinary
You're so very lame
Tastes like whiskey on your lips
And earthworms rule your brain

Alice Cooper | Changing, Arranging | /a/alice+cooper/changing+arranging_20166511.html | I'm changing, arranging
Things I never thought I'd move before
I'm changing, arranging
To your personality I asked for it before
I need a soul who'll never say what I feel
Just fearing that I will accept the ideal
I look up high and I swear all I see
It's a carbon copy image of me
I'm dying hard trying
Baby, baby, for the rest of my life
I'm trying hard dying
Maybe, maybe he's trying to be my life
I've got a never ending battle inside
Just trying to rectify my personal pride
I swear I don't know what it's got over me
But I know it doesn't want to be free

My jeans are lying in a pile on the floor, yeah
Flat on my back, tryin' to catch my breath
When we were rockin' tonight
I thought that we were gonna rock to death
But what's that in your eyes?
I'm no longer paralyzed
Here we go again
Crawlin', you come crawling to me
I go crawling to you
We come crawling
You come crawling to me
I go crawling to you
Your hair is tangled and your lipstick is gone
You're stretched out, calling my name
With just your high heels on
We hunt each other on our hands and our knees
Well I'm an alley cat
And you're a hot little Siamese
But what's that in your eyes?
I'm no longer paralyzed
Here we go again
Crawlin', you come crawling to me
I go crawling to you
We come crawling
You come crawling to me

Alice Cooper | Damned If You Do | /a/alice+cooper/damned+if+you+do_20819530.html | I'm gonna sign my name to full confession
It seems the woman I loved last night
Belongs to another man
They'd like to take you home
They'd like to purr and tease you
But I'm a passionate man
And I couldn't leave her alone
'Cause you are damned if you do
Damned if you don't
Damned if you will
Damned if you won't
Sometimes they look so good
But don't you let 'em deceive you
'Cause then you find out that they got
Some kind of a venomous mind
And the thing that's worse
Is that it all seems worth it
I'm still a passionate man
And she wouldn't leave me alone
If you think that being a stud is easy
Well, now don't ask me, boys
I wouldn't know, I'm a little slow
And you are damned if you do
And damned if you don't
You're damned if you will
And you are damned if you won't
If you think that being a stud is easy
Well, now don't ask me, boys
I wouldn't know, I'm a little slow
Gonna sign my name to full confession
It seems the woman I loved last night
Belongs to another man
They'd like to take you home
They'd like to purr and tease you
And I'm a passionate man
And I couldn't leave her alone
'Cause you are damned if you do
Damned if you don't
Damned if you will
Damned if you won't
Damned if you do
Damned if you don't
Damned if you will
And damned if you won't, ooh
I'll be damned

Alice Cooper | Department Of Youth | /a/alice+cooper/department+of+youth_20186947.html | We're in trouble all the time
You read about us all in the papers
We walk around and bump into walls - a blind delegation
And we ain't afraid of high power
We're bullet proof
And we've never heard of Eisenhower
Missile power, justice or truth
We're the Department of Youth
Your new Department of Youth
We're the Department of Youth
Just me and youth
We talk about this whole stupid world
And still come out laughing
We never make any sense
But hell that never mattered
But we'll make it through our blackest hour
We're living proof
And we've never heard of Billy Sunday
Damon Runyon, manners or couth
We're the Department of Youth
Your new Department of Youth
We're the Department of Youth
Just me and youth
We're the Department of Youth
The new Department of Youth
We're the Department of Youth
We've got the power
We're the Department of Youth
And who gave it to you?
Donny Osmond!
What?!

Alice Cooper | Desperado | /a/alice+cooper/desperado_20186818.html | I'm a gambler
And I'm a runner
But you knew that
When you lay down
I'm a picture
Of ugly stories
I'm a killer
And I'm a clown
Step into the street by sundown
Step into your last goodbye
You're a target just by living
Twenty dollars will make you die
I wear lace
And I wear black leather
My hands are lightning up
On my gun
My shots are clean
And my, my shots are final
My shots are deadly
And when it's done
You're as stiff as my smoking barrel
You're as dead as a desert night
You're a notch
And I'm a legend
You're at peace
And I must hide
Tell where the hell I'm going
Let my bones fall in the dust
Can't you hear that ghost that's calling
As my Colt begins to rust
In the dust
I'm a killer
I'm a clown
I'm a priest
That's gone to town

She's gonna be a treat
Simmer slightly 'til ready
Make her soft too

I kiss the tears off from your chest
I felt the poison fright that's in your breath
I knew your precious life and I know your death
I squeeze the love out of your soul
All the perfect love that's in your soul
You're just another spirit on parole
Devil's food
Devil's food
Devil's food

Alice Cooper | Didn't We Meet | /a/alice+cooper/didnt+we+meet_20180825.html | Pardon me,
But you see,
I've seen that face before
I know those eyes
Unearthly wise
I feel it more and more
To look at you,
Deja vu,
Chills me to the core
They say that you are the king
Of this whole damn thing
But that only confused me
Said I don't stand a ghost
Of a chance with my host
And that frankly amused me
So let's drink a few
Here's lookin' at you, I swear
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere?
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere?
Gradually
I can see
Things are getting clear
That ageless face
Satanic grace
This sudden rush of fear
They say that you are the king
Of this whole damn thing
Now they got me believin'
Said I don't stand a ghost
Of a chance with my host
So I'd better be leavin'
So let's drink a few
Here's lookin' at you, I swear
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere?
Here I am
Door's been slammed
They're gonna roast my hide
Make me bleed
'Til I plead
For you to let me die
They say that you are the king
Of this whole damn thing
Now they got me believin'
Said I don't stand a ghost
Of a chance with my host
God, I wish I'd believed them
So let's drink a few
Here's lookin' at you, I swear
Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere?
Didn't we meet
In the night in my sleep?
Didn't we meet
In the night in my sleep
Somewhere?

Alice Cooper | Die For You | /a/alice+cooper/die+for+you_20005782.html | A hundred numbers on my wall
Some with names I sometimes call
I drop a coin and watch it fall
Tryin' to get connected to you
A thousand hours all alone
My softest pillow turns hard as stone
This is the longest night on my own
Lying here thinking of you
Sometimes I shake my head
And laugh to myself
I'd like start again with somebody else
I'm like a broken toy forgotten on the shelf
[Chorus]
Baby, I could have been someone
I could have been something
It would have been nothing to die for you
Baby, you're going to need me
You'd better believe me
It would have been easy to die for you
A milloin memories flood my brain
Drown my sorrow
Kill my pain
Wets my thirst for you again
Just another night to get through
All my neighbors scream for quite at my door
Shattered glass and torn up photos thrown on the floor
Well, I couldn't stand to see your pictures anymore
[Chorus]
These cuts are deep but you plead innocent
Are you hell or are you heaven-sent?
You're much too cold to know how much
You meant to me, yeah
A billion tear drops fallen from my eyes
But it's just a joke now
And I'm laughing at your lies
You made me hard as rock and now I realize
[Chorus]

Got stabbed in the back in the blink of an eye
She's in bed with the boys and the FBI

Blood soaked money in your shakin' fist
Dirty diamonds
Stone cold killers and you're on their list

Alice Cooper | Disgraceland | /a/alice+cooper/disgraceland_20181650.html | I want to tell you a story, happened long ago
About a redneck boy down from Tupelo
I got the slick black hair, I played a rock guitar
I liked to shake my hips, man, then i went too far
He ate his weight in country ham
Killed on pills and woke in Disgraceland
Disgraceland
Disgraceland
Disgraceland
I had a lot of girls, yeah, I had a lot of guns
When they found me dead, ow, the whole world was stunned
Went to the pearly gates, said, "I'm the hippest thing"
And Peter said "Well son, we already got ourselves a king"
He lived on southern deep-fried spam,
Killed on pills and woke in Disgraceland
Disgraceland
Disgraceland
Disgraceland
He finished his short life sweaty and bloated and stoned
(A-Hey-Hey)
He ruled his domain and he died on the throne
No "Yes-Men", no colonel, he went all alone...
(Hey, man, that looks like me down there on the floor)
I heard the devil cry real loud and clear
"You were the big man, there, hejust a sideman here
Well, I know your face, and I've heard your name
Looks like heaven's loss, gonna be my gain"
(I've got plans for you, man)
He ate his weight in country ham
Killed on pills and woke in Disgraceland
Disgraceland
Disgraceland
Disgraceland
Disgraceland
Disgraceland
Disgraceland
Disgraceland
Well, I woke up, right here in Disgraceland
Disgraceland, thank you, thank you very much

Saw my chance
Made my break
Took the biggest float
In the Rose parade
Got jailed
No disgrace
A hundred million people
Saw my face
Called a conference
With the press
Announced my marriage plans
In a wedding dress
Climb a building
At six-below
On New Year's Eve
Without a stitch of clothes
I want to be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines
As long as they spell my name right
I hope that they catch my best side
Popped out
From a cake
At the President's ball
What a big mistake
Fifty guns
Aimed at me
I was nearly killed
But what publicity
Nominated
Something big
Stole the hottest scene
Says the Globe And Trib
Porno movie
Comes to light
But I was starving then
So that's alright
I want to be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines
As long as the spell my name right
Hope that they catch my best side
Keep my sidewalk status star bright
Feel free to walk on me tonight
Just don't spit on me
Headlines, headlines
Headlines, headlines
Headlines, headlines
Headlines

Alice Cooper | He's Back | /a/alice+cooper/hes+back_20211189.html | You're with your baby
And you're parked alone
On a summer night
You're deep in love
But you're deeper in the woods
You think you're doin' alright
You heard a voice
Did you see that face
Or was it just a dream
It can't be real
That only happens, babe
On the movie screen
If you see him comin'
Get away if you can
He's a dangerous man
Throws a dangerous party man
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
He crawled out of his hole
Just to rock and roll
He's going out tonight
Going to make his rounds to get his fill
Standing staight and tall
He's a ton of fun
And he's dressed to kill
You know you read he was gone
It surely is him
But he's back on the prowl
Again and again and again
Don't you know
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
He crawled out of his hole
Just to rock and roll
You know you read he was gone
It surely is him
But he's back on the prowl
Again and again and again
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
He crawled out of his hole
Just to rock and roll
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
He crawled out of his hole
Just to rock and roll
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
He crawled out of his hole
Just to rock and roll
He's back

Alice Cooper | I Better Be Good | /a/alice+cooper/i+better+be+good_20162944.html | If I ain't cool
My daddy gonna send me
To Military School
If I ain't nice
My girlie gonna freeze me
With cold shoulder ice
If I'm real late
My teacher gonna use me
For alligator bait
So, I better be good
I better be good
If I jump on the gas
The cops are gonna jump
All over my back
If I smoke too much
Doctor says he's gonna
Put my lungs in a crutch
If I'm caught without my pants
Consuelo's dad is gonna shoot
Until he sees me dance
So, I better be good
I had better be good
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - Uh, uh, uh, uh
Nice, nice, nice
Nice, nice, nice
Nice, nice, nice
You better be nice tonight
If I spray it on the seat
Lady gonna tie a big knot
In the meat
If I spewey too fast
Lover's gonna stick
My Wrangler in a cast
If zipper grabs skin
I'll know I had it out
When I shoulda kept it in
Ow.
I better be good
I better be good
I better be good
Ooh
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - Uh, uh, uh, uh
Nice, nice, nice
I'd better be nice tonight - yeah
Nice, nice, nice
Nice, nice, nice
Nice, nice, nice
