I feel how I faint as I’m crossing the Acheron
Wash away my innocence
Was I losing my way when the sky has been blackened?
This short cut of evil
Where do they drive me? Where will I go?
Days gone by, time after time
I’m going insane, losing my mind
To the dark side of Paradise
Driven up and down in circles
Skidding down a road of black ice
Staring in and out storm windows
Driven to a fool’s paradise
Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
Paradise by the dashboard light
You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain’t no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely-
He was no more than a baby then
Well he seemed broken hearted
Something within him
But the moment that I first laid
Eyes on him all alone
On the edge of seventeen
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she’s singing
Oh baby oh said oh
She said, I’m only seventeen (seventeen)
But I’ll show you love like you’ve never seen
She’s only seventeen
Daddy says she’s too young, but she’s old enough for me
She said
I know what it’s like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad
And she’s making me feel like I’ve never been born
I said
Who put all those things in your head
Things that make me feel like I’m mad
And you’re making me feel like I’ve never been born
What do you say to the dead?
Will you forgive me for living?
Can’t believe the things that they said
Wonderful day for a killing
It’s killing me
How do you tell someone you don’t love them?
How do you tell someone you don’t care anymore?
How do you tell someone you don’t love them anymore?
Oh the avenging angel, shiver in the way of her stare
I will admit that she never loved me, but I admit that I didn’t care
And it’s too damned late to bar the gate
And why close it if your heart isn’t there
And since you know it all, I could give you a call
I could give you something fine to compare yourself to
Storms of damnation
Caress the mourning sky
Demon hordes from realms below
Show the mighty force of Hell
When angels forever die
When Satan has arrived
When Satan rules the world for eternity
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
There’s a room where the light won’t find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I’ll be right behind you
So glad we’ve almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
Her eyes like windows, trickling rain
Upon the pain getting deeper.
Though my love wants to relieve her.
She walks alone from wall to wall.
Lost in her hall, she can’t hear me.
Though I know she likes to be near me.
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.
You just gotta be strong and believe in yourselves
Forget all the sadness 'cause love is all you need
Just believe - just keep passing the open windows
Just believe - just keep passing the open windows
I wish for the day, and it will come
That I know all the answers
And I know what to be and I know what to search for
And I know where to achieve
And there it shall lie, my corpse in the gutter
With knowledge and love and the taste of the better
Looking through the window to space
Day of the dead down in Mexico
We read a book on the Alamo
We filled the tank up with Texaco
We buy a trinket for curio
We walk big stuff through the marketplace
Dripping sweat, dollars and aftershave
I got the mind of an astronaut
Emerging from the shell unscathed
Climbing out of hell unchanged
Here it comes another song about Mexico
I just can’t help myself I lost my old lady
Got my lures Got my bobbers now I’m gonna go
Got off in the wrong direction
Found a hooker and lost my erection
So I had to lie in the letter to the boys back home
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
I dial it in from south of the border
I hear the talking of the D.J.
Can’t understand, just what does he say?
I’m on a Mexican radio
I’m on a Mexican (whoa-oh) radio
All we hear is radio ga ga
radio blah blah
Radio what’s new?
Radio, someone still loves you.
Begin the day
With a friendly voice
A companion, unobtrusive
Plays that song that’s so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood
Off on your way
Hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the spirit ever lingers
Undemanding contact
In your happy solitude
