HEAT STREET
What can I hear? Who can I see?
What's this I fear that's followin' me?
It's getting louder, it's coming near
I can not stand it, I'm getting outta here
You'd better beware now
You'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner
The rain is falling around my feet
The night is calling on this well-lit street
People in doorways just stand and stare
Cast away shadows that really aren't there
You'd better beware now
You'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner
What can I hear? Who can I see?
What's this I fear that's followin' me?
It's getting louder, it's coming near
I can not stand it, I'm getting outta here
You'd better beware now
Yeah, you'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner
You'll never be a winner
On heat street
ANSWER TO THE MASTER
When the night time unfolds and the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes though you know it's disguise
When the night turns to day you turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell is this heaven or hell?
Answer to the master
Can you look to the sky? Can you live through your lie?
Of the thoughts you can't trace which time can't erase
To a face on the wall do you often recall
What you said on the night when the new full moon was rising
Answer to the master
When the night time unfolds and the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes though you know it's disguise
When the night turns to day and you turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell is this heaven or hell?

Answer to the master
SEE THE LIGHTS
Well I came down here from Manhattan to see the lights on the mall
But when I got here early this morning well I couldn't see any at all
So I walked a little further and much to my surprise
There was a hot cool woman in a Chevy staring into my eyes
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
Alright
She said now don't walk any further just jump into my car
And we can head on down the highway but you'd better not go to far
'Cause my daddy he's big business so we've gotta be back by tonight
But we can still have some fun now if we head on downtown to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
Well we ended up in this cafe 'bout twenty-five minutes to one
See, she took me to this nightclub and the music went on and on
Well we were set down to get coffee when in walked her old man
No matter how we tried to explain it well we couldn't make him understand
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
Alright
WHEN THE WALLS CAME TUMBLING DOWN
The first day of the first month in some distant year
The day the sky froze golden, it was oh so clear
Some said it was the aftermath of the radium bomb
While others told of a final retribution
A terrible revenge of the gods
But we understood it was the grand finale
Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before
So all that was left was...
All the women were captured and chained
And national suicide was proclaimed
And New America fell to the ground
And all the children lay crippled and lame
But all the nations came together in fear of the thought of the end
No more would we fight in the streets, no courage had we to defend
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
A blinding light the sun had died, a new moon took its place
Tidal waves, and open graves the fate of the unhuman race
The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend
A sinner sits reciting Dylan its now that I welcome the end
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Nobody made a sound
Down!
WASTED
Well I've been lying awake all night just thinking of you
But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy obstructing my view
I've got a bottle of pills to give me my thrills
And I know that I'm leading a life that kills
Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm stuck in a hole
Wasted - I'm losing control
Well I've been meaning to call, I've been wanting to phone
You see I don't like the thought of leaving you here alone
Well I've seen things down here that are fit for a queen
I've seen things down here that should never be seen, oh no
Wasted - I've wasted my money
Wasted - I've wasted you honey
Wasted - I'm out of my brain
Wasted - I'm going insane
I'm running in thin air there's nothingness everywhere
I've gotta get out
I've gotta get out
I've gotta get out oh won't you help me get out?
Well I thought I saw you just the other day
But it couldn't be you 'cos you had nothing to say
'He's going away', they told all my friends
Well now I'll be stuck in here til the misery ends
Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm out of my head
Wasted - I wish I was dead
SORROW IS A WOMAN
You're always pretending to be someone who prefers to be free
You think you can fool me with your lying eyes
But what is this game that you play when all that your trying to say
Is that your lonely, in need of a friend
Oh yeah sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do
And can't you see that it's true there's someone as lonely as you
Trying so hard, so hard to get through
And why can't everyone see the way that it really should be
Why hide your feelings and suffer the pain
Oh yeah sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do
You know that sorrow is a woman
You know that she'll make you feel sad
You know that sorrow is a woman
Oh yeah sorrow woman, I just can't seem to get to you
Oh yeah sorrow woman, if only you could see you as I do
GLAD I'M ALIVE
Hello and welcome my friend it's good to see you again
Do you know anything new? Tell me, is this really you
Hey, what's the story in LA, I haven't been there today
It's time we went for a ride, come on and step right inside
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Darkness our sole destination, daylight our only intention
White lightning brightens the sky can't tell we're flying so high
Rest now and don't be afraid, can't you see we've got it made
Just cause I'm not going far that doesn't mean that we can't reach the star
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Sad story that look in your eyes, break out before it's too late
Now come and lay down by my side, let all the thoughts slip away
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
