movin’ low movin’ fast move over
intruder just across my shoulder
gunshot! rings aloud inside my ear,
and the worst is what i fear
as the poachers line the hill,
they take aim for the kill
while the jungle smells so sweet,
the stench of man is stale
so i’ll rise to defend my ground,
lord, the alpha male


coincide, endangered by
an enemy with endless means and war machines
dollar signs, and greedy minds
invading all our privacy and driving me into the sea
gorilla


movin’ low movin’ fast move sideways
sowing sawdust homes and highways
chainsaw! awakes with a deafening sound
and the trees will all fall down
the clearing on the ridge,
was once my playground
when there’s nowhere left to hide,
it’s easy to be found
as you take more than you need,
lord, you mow it down


coincide, endangered by
an enemy with endless means and war machines
dollar signs, and greedy minds
invading all our privacy and driving me into the sea
gorilla

Ride On!
all dressed in black he’s strapped he’s a one-eyed jack,
roll on like a Cadillac
won’t be defied good guy and he’s on your side
but you better not turn your back
the lone outlaw quickdraw gonna save us all,
where the evil in the heart resides
from dust and blood comes a street of mud,
you better walk with a cautious stride
wives cry, his eyes crystallize, and a river of tears runs high
pale is a steed that he rides upon
and hell follows close behind,
goodbye


move! when the gunslinger rides! high! ride the line!
(drop, lock, and load!)
move! when the gunslinger rides! high! ride the line!


snake eyes on the dice that’s twice yet he’s smooth as ice
he’s a wanted man, name the price
when the kid walks in, get thin, ‘cause he reeks of gin,
you better leave him to his own device
crowd stands in awe, quick draw, don’t drop the ball, when
he squares and the pistols fire
he arrives with the day, gun’s raised, no need to run away,
cause you’re just gonna die real tired
wives cry, his eyes crystallize, and a river of tears runs high
widow maker and a high stakes player, 8’s and aces,
but i’ll never die, let’s ride


move! when the gunslinger rides! high! ride the line!
(drop, lock, and load!)
move! when the gunslinger rides! high! ride the line!
Move! With a last hoorah! Ha! The Lone Outlaw!

gasoline burns clean when everything’s on fire
and now as nero plays his violin we’re going out in style
this whole thing sucks! I think we’re stuck
we’re up to our necks in the muck
and you dispose of what you know
cause so-called friends they tell you so


turn around get back down, keeping one foot on the ground
I may be down, but you won’t walk all over me
it’s hard to tell, curse and yell, you can all go straight to hell
you have your friends, but i’d be quick to disagree
hey!


taking bad advice from those who have no clue
they have no one at home to call their own so now they’re calling you
with their 2 cents, it’s better spent, and so i’ll offer you a dime
their lives are so sad and pathetic why (?) the hell are they in mine


turn around get back down,
keeping one foot on the ground
i may be down, but you won’t walk all over me
curse and swear ya’ pull your hair my middle finger’s in the air
you have your friends, but i’d be quick to disagree
hey!


you’re such a drag now
you’re dragging me down


i’m over this, the time has come today
and now i must insist to go our separate ways
because this 12 round showdown, put this hatchet in the ground
i’m waist deep losing sleep, shut your mouth cause talk is cheap
this fine line i’m behind won’t take long for you to find
when you fly too high, kiss your ass goodbye


turn around get back down, keeping one foot on the ground
i may be down, but you won’t walk all over me
it’s hard to tell curse and yell, you can all go straight to hell
you have your friends, but i’d be quick to disagree
hey!

there’s a reason behind why I’m outta my mind,
and I’m second guessing all the time
well you’re leading me on and I’m walking right along
but with every step I see the light
and the air that I breathe it’s hard to believe
don’t do for me the things you do
your eyes change tides and make the sun rise
angels singing at the sight of you
and I try to hold it in, have you given all you can,
no reply so I’ll ask again
I’m waiting


you’re the air I breathe words are hard to find as I wait my turn
and I stand in a line
just for you, yeah all those things I do,
because of you


you don’t know what you have there’s a list and I’m last
and you give away the time with me
with a brush and a gown you’re painting up the town
and you’re puttin’ on a masterpiece
it’s hard to explain, my feelings don’t change
any fool can see the wrong from right
here we go once again I turn my back to the wind
there’s a chill in the air tonight
and I try to hold it in, and I’ve given all I can,
it’s the same last chance again
I’m leaving


you’re the air I breathe words are hard to find as I wait my turn
and I stand in a line
just for you, yeah all those things I do, because of you
you’re the air I breathe over 9 lifetimes
as I walk away, then I change my mind
just for you, then for me, you’re the air that I breathe


you’re the air I breathe words are hard to find
as I wait my turn and I stand in a line
just for you, yeah all those things I do, because of you
you’re the air I breathe for the longest time as I walk away
then I change my mind
just for you, then me, you’re the air that I breathe


you’re the air I breathe

yeah I’m so sorry that we never took the time,
to count the stars that shine
and there’s a silhouette that’s outlined in mind,
a shadow traced in time


reflections of the best of time now fade away
pristine will turn to grey
i lead myself astray another day will end,
a new one now begins
and i’m so sorry that we never took the time
to count the stars that shine
and i’d apologize but that won’t make it right
so i’ll just say goodnight


so long ago, so long ago


and there’s a light that divides the night
and our silhouettes dance in the candlelight
and it shines bright
a light that divides the night
and our silhouettes dance in the candlelight
and it shines bright


with our silhouettes we dance in candlelight,
a light divides the night
a second chance arrives for all the moments past,
here we are at last
and i’m so sorry that we never took the time
but now the stars align
and i’d apologize but that won’t make it right
so i’ll just say goodnight


so long ago, so long ago


and there’s a light that divides the night
and our silhouettes dance in the candlelight
and it shines bright
a light that divides the night
and our silhouettes dance in the candlelight
and it shines bright


so long ago, so long ago


and there’s a light that divides the night
and our silhouettes dance in the candlelight
and it shines bright
a light that divides the night
and our silhouettes dance in the candlelight
and it shines bright

can you see the gem beneath that others cannot find, better read between the lines
one at a time, one at a time
a song will last forever if the meaning shines through, nothing left for me to do
sing along with you, sing along with you


and it’s so powerful inside the noise, it’s a devastation I enjoy
we can move the mountains with our voice
will you sing with me


a melody will leave with me impressions in my mind, listen now between the lines
radio is blind, radio is blind
and there’s an echo from the canyon and it resonates a sound
amethyst is found, amethyst is found


and it’s so powerful inside the noise, it’s a devastation I enjoy
we can move the mountains with our voice


when life’s a little heavy the musics true, somehow it always sees me through
abundantly the mainstream flows no where, now here’s a secret I will share
the coolest rock is hidden under ground, below the pop top 40 sound
sing the song in you and turn the radio down


and it’s so powerful inside the noise, it’s a devastation I enjoy
we can move the mountains with our voice
will you sing with me

she’s smokin’ hot her engines red
don’t touch the top at least that’s what they said
i know it all I’m seventeen
i’m superman or somewhere in between


take my hand and walk with me
one more step down memory street


shine on the children of the night
mama don’t worry all the kids are alright
running till 5 in the morning
and ignoring all the warning signs


years go by, the times have changed
but one’s for sure the kids are still the same
don’t you dare deny the truth
you know you were the same back in your youth


take my hand and walk with me
one more step down memory street


shine on the children of the night
mama don’t worry all the kids are alright
running till 5 in the morning
and ignoring all the warning signs


oh i, am not along for the carousel ride


shine on the children of the night
mama don’t worry all the kids are alright
running till 5 in the morning
and ignoring all the warning signs


(shine down on me, we’re all alright)
(Mama, we’ll all be home tonight)

who’s gonna tell you when
it’s too late
who’s gonna tell you things

thinking nothing’s wrong
with us


who’s gonna pick you up
when you fall
who’s gonna hang it up
when you call


you can’t go on
thinking nothing’s wrong
with us

who’s gonna pay attention
to your dreams
who’s gonna plug your ears
when you scream

with us
who’s gonna drive ya’ home tonight


who’s gonna hold you now
when you shake
who’s gonna come around
when you break


you can’t go on
thinking nothing’s wrong
with us
who’s gonna drive ya’ home tonight


drive home tonight written by ric ocasek

we take the galleon in the midday sun, there’s an armada at our stern
they track us by the trail of dead, as we pillage, binge and burn
one is commissioned by the queen, one plunder’s riches and the rye
we’re safely through the passage now , and we let our black flag fly


so, no rest until the workday’s done, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
we’ll lie in maidens arms tonight, so raise your black jacks to the creed
a pirates life for me


high, high a black flag flies, a skull across the bones would make a black cat cry
her breath is in our sails, there’s a razor in our eyes
a bad moon is on the rise, rah!


my brother hangs upon the gallows pole
I’ll avenge this travesty, no quarter shall be given no quarter be received
the governor’s got it coming and his city on the shore
my crew is on the ready, and we all live by the sword


so, no rest until the workday’s done, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
fly the banner up the mast and let ‘em hear our battle cry
fire’s raining from the sky


high, high a black flag flies, a skull across the bones would make a black cat cry
her breath is in our sails, there’s a razor in our eyes
a bad moon is on the rise, rah


sail away into a red sky sun, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum


put me in the crows nest, davey jones is laid to rest
16 men on a dead man’s chest, the wind blows, and the port side rows
the warriors cry out with an oh ay oh!
across the bow, a canon shot has set us free, too soon to be a hero and too late to save me
so powder up the guns, cross your cutlass with a gale, dead men tell no tales


high, high a black flag flies, a skull across the bones would make a black cat cry
her breath is in our sails, there’s a razor in our eyes
a bad moon is on the rise, rah

a message written out across the sky
I’m gonna find it hard to sleep tonight
black and red will send the warning out
and in the distance I can hear the sound
there’s a whirlwind outside my door
and it’s churning up the ocean floor
now I’m standing in a monsters path
prepare to feel the force of natures wrath, shah!


the calm is over
the peels of thunder
the anger in the rain
the rolling hurricane


her royal majesty embraces me
inside her arms I find serenity
uncertain fear will paralyze the cape
I plan a path to make for my escape
and there’s a whirlwind that rides with me
I’ll tell you stories you would not believe
and as the monster seems to pass me by
I realize I’m standing in the eye! shah!


the calm is over
the peels of thunder
Septembers daughter
water!


harness the lightning and I breathe a sigh
look to the heaven’s and I close my eyes
stand alone beside a changing wind
until her sister will return again
so goodbye, shah!


the calm is over
the peels of thunder
the anger in the rain
the rolling hurricane

i throw the burning flowers
into the bottom of a cinder bed
i sit alone for hours
it makes me sad that the garden’s dead


another chapter in the story must end
but like a phoenix I will rise again


because we’re burning with the flowers in the sun
and you know we’re all alone all alone
because we’re burning with the flowers in the sun
and you know we’re all alone all alone, yeah


amid the violet flame
the remnants of a love is burning to the ground
consumed without a name
and yet it’s seed will take to soil and rebound


another chapter in the story must end
but like a phoenix I will rise again


because we’re burning with the flowers in the sun
and you know we’re all alone all alone
because we’re burning with the flowers in the sun
and you know we’re all alone all alone


because your heartbeat leads me on and I know you’re all alone all alone
because the heart won’t be undone and you know we’re all alone all alone yeah
