You lift me up when I get down;
When I’m lost you turn me around.
Wind and rain can’t wash away
The peace you give to me.
And in a sea of trouble
I know that I won’t drown.
I’m safe 'cause your love
Lifts me to a higher ground.
Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell
I’d like to be under the sea
In an octopus’s garden in the shade.
I’ll wait for the ocean to rise up
And meet me, as it rose up before
(I’ll know the time…)
I’ll wait for the ocean to rise up
And greet me, as it rose up before
(I’ll know the year…)
I’m not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no
The tide is high but I’m holding on
I’m gonna be your number one
First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss.
I’d found the love I knew I’d miss.
But now she’s gone even though I held her tight.
I lost my love and my life that night.
Just sweet sixteen, and now you’re gone
They’ve taken you away.
I’ll never kiss your lips again
They buried you today
You’re my baby, you’re my pet, we fell in love on the night we met.
You touched my hand, my heart went pop, ooh, when we kissed, i could not stop.
You walked out of my dreams, into my car, now you’re my angel divine.
You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful, and you’re mine.
You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go.
I owe my soul to the company store.
Oh I was born, six-gun in my hand
Behind the gun I’ll make my final stand
That’s why they call me:
Bad company - and I can’t deny
Bad company - 'til the day I die
You can bring me love; you can hang around.
You can bring me up; don’t you bring me down.
Baby are you holding, holding anything but me?
'Cause I’m a real straight shooter, if you know what I mean.
When I hold you in my arms (Oo-oo oh yeah)
And I feel my finger on your trigger (Oo-oo oh yeah)
I know nobody can do me no harm (Oo-oo oh yeah)
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you’ll never find me.
I will turn your face to alabaster,
Then you’ll find your servant is your master
And you’ll be wrapped around my finger.
Domination’s the name of the game
In bed or in life, they’re both just the same
Except in one you’re fulfilled at the end of the day
Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant
None of you understand and it doesn’t matter
To a broken marionette like me (Me)
An errant soul, homeless and foul
An errant soul, homeless and foul
All gone but the will to live to tell the, to tell the tale
Baby, I wish you’d help me escape
Help me get away
Leave me outside my address
Far away from this masquerade
High in the sky is a bird on a wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you
Again I would wander
Where memories enfold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
Sometimes
I feel like I want to fly
Reach out to the painted sky
A prisoner to the wind
A bird on the wing
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir.
I have tried in my way to be free.
