1) Come on in, we need you Come on in, we'll feed you Come on, weary traveler, welcome home Come on in, we like you No one's gonna strike you Come on, weary traveler, welcome home BRIDGE 1 All those years of struggle Wrapped up in the race You-can forget your worries, settle down All those years of fighting Trying to set your place Just forget your worries, settle down 2) Come on in, take your shoes off Come on in, rub your blues off Come on, weary traveler, welcome home Come on in , you can stick around Come on in, take a look around Come on, weary traveler, welcome home BRIDGE 2 Mi casa es su casa That's the simple truth Come on, weary traveler, settle down Have a cup of coffee Now you're feeling loose Come on, weary traveler, settle down Repeat Verse (1)
1) The storm is out at sea The sky's a sickly green Leaves are hanging down Not a creature to be seen A single drop of rain Splatters on my cheek Clouds go streaming by The air begins to speak CHORUS And the wind rushes on, rushes on thru the pouring rain As for me I'm long gone, I won't be coming back again The knife cuts close, cutting down to the bone Let the river wash away, away, away, everything that I've known 2) My clothes are soaking wet Water fills my boots Branches float on by Trees have toppled from their roots Muddy water everywhere My eyes can barely see Million miles of nothing Surrounding me CHORUS 3) Six in the morning, (They said) I had to leave my home Got no transportation Traveling alone I've got no destination Except for higher ground I've got no expectation That my body will be found FINAL CHORUS And the wind rushes on, rushes on thru the pouring rain As for me I'm long gone, I won't be coming back again The knife cuts close, cutting down to the bone Let the river wash away, away, away Everything away, away, away Everything away, away, away Everything I've known
1) I went out to a party I went out to a party There were pretty girls to be sure But I don't chase those girls anymore Since I came back from the war 2) I sat down at the table I sat down at the table There was tempting food to be sure But I can't hold down food anymore Since I came back from the war 3) I drove out to the airport I drove out to the airport There were fast jet planes to be sure But I can't fly on planes anymore Since I came back from the war 4) I tried to see my family I tried to see my family I love my wife and child to be sure But I can't talk to them anymore Since I came back from the war BRIDGE I can't sleep at night I've lost my grip on wrong and right Crimes that can never come to light I've buried them deep inside 5) I went to see my father I went to see my father He's a drinking man to be sure But he won't drink with me anymore Since I came back from the war BRIDGE 6) I thought I'd be a hero I thought I'd be a hero I was a tough talking guy to be sure But I don't talk that tough anymore Since I came back from the war
1) I tried dating a lawyer / But he was married to the firm A doctor tried to kiss me once / But his bedside manner made me squirm Maybe it's a matter of relativity But I finally found a lover, with electricity He's a physicist / And I can't resist, his spark I was a pessimist / Now I'm happy as a quark REFRAIN When he turns on his strange charms I drop like, a falling body in his arms He's a physicist 2) I admit it's a paradox / I was the sexiest girl at school Now I get aroused thinkin-bout atomic clocks / And the Heisenberg Uncertainty rule He's a master of time and space I orbit like an electron at a relativistic pace He's a physicist / When I'm kissed I begin to swoon No I can't resist / Like earth's gravitation on the moon REFRAIN 3) He's among the super-bright / He'll theorize till it hurts-ya His thoughts travel at the speed of light / While mine show greater inertia I know that his love is true Cause he can tell me, why the sky is blue He's a physicist / Now my strings have all uncurled We speak in gibberish / About a 10-dimensional world REFRAIN 4) He can explain broken symmetry / And dark energy, of the cosmic ocean But in bed he rocks me, there no gimmickry / It's just simple, harmonic motion He locks on my wavelength over and over The when we touch I go super-nova He's a physicist / With charisma to spare With a flick of the wrist / He proves E = mc2 REFRAIN He's a physicist He's a physicist He's a physicist
1) You thought you were a clever girl / Riding high, on top of the world While your daddy pulled strings to ease your way But that charmed life couldn't last / Now I see you're falling fast And no one has a kindly word to say 2) Fancy dinners at the country club / While the rest of us ate lousy grub You never thought to help or even call You sold your old friends down the drain / Slid off the wire, well it's a shame There ain't no safety net to break your fall CHORUS Nowhere / Nowhere for you to run to today No one / No one to help you hide you away No place to stay You're out on your own / You've got no one to phone This time it's your turn to pay Down on your luck / Hey-hey 3) Recall the days back at school / We all thought you were cool Dropped off in your chauffeured limousine You never had to work too hard / Just had to flash your calling card And everyone would treat you like a queen 4) You rose like cream while we just sank / You had a fortune in the bank By the time that you were 23 Box seats at the palladium / Front row at the stadium While the rest of us just watched it on TV CHORUS You're down on your luck / I hear you're really stuck But it's not my problem anyway, hey-hey-hey
1) It's an April night and the chilly air You're upstairs and I'm sleeping down here I ain't got no one / I ain't got no one I tried to be your man, but you wanted a boy Can't hang around just to be your toy I'm moving on / I'm moving on CHORUS Tomorrow morning I'll be on my way There's nothing you could do that would make stay I'm moving on Got no reason to stick around I'll be heading out for my hometown Going back to LA 2) Tried to give you room, I tried to hold you tight Nothing I would do ever worked out right I ain't got no one / I ain't got no one You want things your way and I want 'em mine When we get together it's just a waste of time I'm moving on / I'm moving on CHORUS 3) Miss the warm weather and the open skies Took me six long months to realize I ain't got no one / I ain't got no one Want to take in the sun by the ocean shore So I'm packing my bags and I'm out the door I'm moving on / I'm moving on CHORUS
1) You're the one who's here with me, at the closing of the day You will still-be by my side, when my hair is turning gray If you ask what I think of you, I have these words to say Now and forever, I love you CHORUS I love you when the spring begins to call Though winter and the shadow of the fall But I love you most of all, in summertime 2) Sometimes you make me laugh, sometimes you make me cry But you can always draw me in, with that sparkle in your eye I have these words I'll say to you, I ask for no reply Now and forever, I love you CHORUS 3) Time passes quickly, how the years have flown Like two trees standing side-by-side, together we have grown You've become a part of me, now I can't live alone Now and forever, I love you CHORUS (x2)
1) A madman's is in the tower / And he's got a gun The innocents all scatter / See them duck and run They run for cover 2) A crusader is in power / And he's itching for a fight But you can't beat him head-on / SO you fade into the night Waitin' to recover 3) It's a fact of life / (That) In a time of drought Flies can kill a lion / They just wear him out He has no cover CHORUS Empires crumble, castles fall From an invisible hand Jet fighters crash, tanks just stall In an ocean of sand 4) Who's in the white house / And who calls the shots Who ordered this war / And what were their plots And what was their cover 5) I knew the deception / I saw the greed I witnessed the torture / So I planted the seed I was working undercover 6) The wall has a 1000 cracks / You can take a look inside The rats scurry desperately / But they have no place to hide Someone blew their cover CHORUS CHORUS
1) In 1717 / I sailed the Whydah With Black Sam Bellamy / Our captain sure Communal pirates / In Bahaman waters We took freely / Of Spanish treasure 2) The Whydah was a slaver / Before we seized it Took the brig northward / To Cape Cod Bay Where the captain's maiden / Maria Hallett Watched and waited / On this April day CHORUS But there's no way / No way to keep warm And there's no shelter / No shelter from the storm 3) A change of weather / Form the northeast Brings rolls of thunder / And a fearsome gale Our drunken pleasures / Come to an end We fire the cannons / To defy the hail 4) The wind blows cold / And heavy on the deck Snow in falling / On the sails The captain calls / From high above Hold your stations / Without fail CHORUS 5) No sun is shining / Through the clouds Icy waters / Down below The breakers drag us / Near the shore The Whydah is sinking / As we go slow 6) Southack brings me / Back to Boston Where I am jailed / And held in chains Reverend Mather / Defends for me And I am spared / From being hanged CHORUS
1) When I go to work today, I'm in a heated rush Drive as fast as I can, I don't think too much But those red tail lights before me, are forcing me to brake Be stuck here for hours, there ain't no escape CHORUS Roadblock / It's a head shot Tick tock/ Can't beat the clock Roadblock / Traffic cop I'm at a dead stop / Gonna blow my top Hey-hey / Hey-hey-hey Roadblock / Hey-hey-hey 2) Inch by inch stop and go, I turn up the radio Grit my teeth bang the wheel, you can see just how I feel I'm in a mood to kick and scream Obscenities flowing at a constant stream CHORUS Hey-hey, hey-hey-hey 3) Flash the lights beep the horn, out-of-the-way I'm coming on Flipping fingers in a rage, trapped inside this metal cage Switch lanes to the left, I'm gonna give it a try (But) Now the trucks on my right are passing by CHORUS Hey-hey / Hey-hey-hey Roadblock / Gridlock Great god / This is a parking lot Hey-hey / Hey-hey-hey Hey-hey / Hey-hey-hey Roadblock / Hey-hey-hey Roadblock / Hey-hey-hey
1) My name is Kostinec / I drive a big rig Hauling that's my trade I was dispatched / Out to Pennsylvania 20 tons of ice to move right away I'd seen it in the news and magazines Katrina had laid waste New Orleans Without power, that ice meant saving lives It seemed all-important that it arrives So I charged up those hills ... in overdrive 2) Took just one day / To make Missouri FEMA's staging ground But I never unloaded / Cause I got new orders Soon I was Montgomery bound Alabama was just one day away I'd make my drop, collect my pay But this was not to be the final trip Cause FEMA sent me on to Mississip' So I headed out Route 80 ... and let her rip CHORUS: Hauling ice I'm just trying to do what I can I've been hauling ice But there doesn't seem to be a master plan And I can't believe that this ... is American 3) When I pulled up / At Fort Shelby They said "Boy, whadda-ya doing here?" "You've been rerouted / Up to Virginia." FEMA's made that perfectly clear Spent the week near Richmond with 9 guys Revvin' up our engines, to cool the ice We joked about collecting double pay But not a man really wanted to stay And New Orleans grew further away, ... with every passing day CHORUS 4) Finally sent out / To Nebraska A strange spot to unload It's been four weeks / Of mindless highways Five thousand miles on the road FEMA says "You're done here. Go on home Forget about those bastards / In the Superdome." No I would not do this hauling again Trading money for the dignity of men And I can't believe this sham, ...is American CHORUS No this cannot be the work ... of the good Lord's hand
1) I am an outlaw on the run Took a hotel towel just for fun Now the sheriff's on my track Guess there is no turning back I got that towel in my sack 2) I nabbed soap bars, maybe two or three I thought them items was for free But on the back side of the door In small print that I ignored The hotel posted up the law (...torts you know) 3) Call me mean, call me bad I stashed two pens and swiped a pad I just can't mend my wicked ways On business trips or getaways I'm living proof that small crime pays (...I've joined ranks with the Kenneth Lays, ...white collar crime) 4) In a bathroom bin I spied shampoo Conditioner and hand cream too My bag was over by the couch I slid them in, I was no slouch I even found room for the coffee pouch (...decaf that is) 5) I settled the bill, grabbed the keys to my car But first a little mini-trip to the mini-bar A can of nuts and a glass of wine They went together mighty fine Then out the door in record time 6) Rushed passed the clerk at the Marriott "I enjoyed my stay, hey thanks a lot" He dialed the cops, and made a frown But ain't no way I'm goin' down Know every back-road in this town (...and the highways too) 7) At the Marriott or Ramada Inn They call it crime, but I call it sin Either way they're bound to lose Cause I got on my running shoes And I'll take anything I choose (...even the booze) REPEAT (1)
