Stormy night under dead black skies, Billy pulls into town
Thunder rolls and the lightning bolts come crashin' to the ground Cold as ice, hard as stone, as he walks into the room With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell's breakin' loose *Bang bang, shoot 'em all, bang bang, blow you away It's a showdown in the no man's land, for the cowboy of the modern day Come a sundown, don't be hangin' round, 'cos the cowboy'll blow you away [I could blow and this bad boy jones], on the wrong side of the law Johnny Dee and his company, always fast to the draw, yeah Get so lean, feelin' so mean, tryin' to take my winning share 'Cos all they saw was ruin, oh, the smell of blood was in the air *Repeat So here we are and we've come this far, but it's only getting worse Foreign lands with their [terrace] demands, only cost a good heart The U.S.A., the U.S.S.R., with their six-guns to their side I see the message written on the wall, to my chain-gun deep inside *Repeat It's a showdown |

And the sign says "long hair freaky people need not apply"
So I put my hair under my hat and I went in to ask him why He said you look like a fine outstanding young man I think you'll do So I took off my hat I said "Imagine that Huh Me working for you" Signs Signs Everywhere there's signs Blocking up the scenery Breaking up my mind Do this, don't do that Can't you read the sign And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight" So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house, Hey! What gives you the right To put up a fence And keep me out Or to keep Mother Nature in If God was here He'd tell it to your face Man You're some kind of sinner Signs Signs Everywhere there's signs Blocking up the scenery Breaking up my mind Do this, don't do that Can't you read the sign Oh Say now mister Can't you read You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat You can't watch No You can't eat You ain't supposed to be here And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" Huh And the sign says "Everybody welcome Come in Kneel down and pray" But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all And I didn't have a penny to pay So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own little sign I said Thank you Lord for thinking about me I'm alive and doing fine Signs Signs Everywhere there's signs Blocking up the scenery Breaking up my mind Do this, don't do that Can't you read the sign Signs Signs Everywhere there's signs Blocking up the scenery Breaking up my mind Do this, don't do that Can't you read the sign |

You're guilty of crime in the first degree,
Second and third as well. My jury finds you'll be serving your time When you go straight to hell. 'Cause he was Lord of the Lightning, Though "socially fright'ning", But never out to sell. Their nickels and pence Meant more than did sense, And not the sensible thing. Nor did the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. All along, world was wrong. You was right. All that he saw, all he conceived, They just could not believe. Steinmetz and Twain were friends that remained, Along with number three. He was electromagnetic, completely kinetic, "New Wizard of the West." But they swindled and whined that he wasn't our kind, And said Edison knew best. He was the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. Said you was outta your mind! You took a shot and it did you in. Edison's medicine. You played your cards, but you couldn't win. Edison's medicine. I spent twelve years of hard time, More like the best years of my life. Never heard or read a single word About "the man" and his "wicked mind." They'll sell you on Marconi. Familiar, but a phony. Story goes they sold their souls And swore that you'd never know... About the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. Swore you was outta your mind! You took a shot and it did you in. Edison's medicine. You played your cards, but you couldn't win. Edison's medicine |

Who's the one that makes you happy?
Or maybe, who's the one always on your mind? And who is the reason you're livin' for? Who's the reason for your smile? I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one To ever feel this way. I love ya so much that I think I'm goin' insane. I'm goin' crazy, outta my head. Goin' crazy, outta my head. Can't think about nothin' but your good, good love, And what you give. Now, ev'ry one needs somebody. And you know, ev'rybody needs someone. Well, and a-yes it's true! Ev'rybody needs a special kind of love, And you're the only one I'm thinkin' of. You mean the world to me. You are my only! I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one To carry on this way. I love ya so much I lose track-a time, Lose track of the days. I'm goin' outta my head, Goin' crazy, outta my head. Can't think about a-nothin' but your good, good love, And what you give. It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give. It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live. It's only what you give, only what you give, only what you give, It's not whatcha got, a-but the life you live. It's the life you live. Play it pretty for the world. You're the one that makes me happy. Oh yeah baby. And you're the one always on my mind. And a-yes it's true. You are my reason, my one and only that I've been livin' for Why can't forever be forever and nothin' more. (To Chorus) It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give. It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live. No, no, no, no, no! It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give. And it ain't what it's not, but a-what it is! Only what you give, only what you give. It's only what you give. It's not whatcha got, a-but a-what you give. It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give. A-what you give woman. It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live. It's only what you give, only what you give, only what you give, It's not whatcha got, but a-what you give. It's only what you give. Only what you give. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Only what you give. Only what you give. Only what you give, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that good enough for the girls we run around with?

I'm in love with a lady and I know
The lady's in love with me. And she knows that I'll always be there. That's why she's a-willin' and ready. But now and then, ev'ry once in a while Something inside of me, maybe inside of her. Have you ever had one of those days when it all is going wrong? And it just can't seem to get along. But through it all you know you're gonna make it. Call it true love, call it not meant to be. You can call it anything at all, ya see. Call it what you want. It's all the same to me. Music means alot to me. Like love I make it when I can. All I am is all I'll ever be, And that's just a boy from Texarkana. But now and then, Oh, but once in a while, They start treatin' me like some kinda superstar. Need I mention at the end of the day what matters most of all. It's not where you're at, but where you're comin' from. When all is said and done. You can call it... Heavy metal, hard-core, punk, pop, or thrash. You can call it anything it don't matter to me. Call it what you want. It's all music to me. Call it communism, call it free. Some call the ocean what some call the sea. Call it what you want. It doesn't change a thing for me. Not a thing. Baby's lyin' in a cradle. Universe is all within its reach. Wearin' rags or mink and sable. Needs a guiding hand or it's out on the street. Now, momma's out, she's never at home. Daddy's takin' care of business, he's out on the road. It's rainin' cats and dogs. But the child within us all must face the storm. Call it individuality. Some call it fate, others reality. Call it what you want. It doesn't matter to me. Call it communism, call it free. Some call the ocean what some call the sea. Call it what you want. It doesn't change a thing for me. |

I see him there most ev'ry day,
A lonely man and his guitar. In his eyes, I see the pain, All the faces and the places, All the trouble that he'd seen. There was a time, There was a day, They'd come from miles around. They all knew his name. But day's gone by are gone, Now only memories remain. Then he starts to play. Suddenly the pain slowly fades away. Tattered, torn and frayed, There's a place within his heart He'll always save for the song and emotion. Know he's got to his dyin' day. Song and emotion. You can hear him play. You can still hear him say, Better run for cover 'cause it looks like rain again! And now his life is but a shadow of his dreams. The calm is over, been stormin' for years. He turns and leans his shoulder to the wind. Lost again! All along, on his way to the top, Somehow, somewhere, something was lost. Through it all he knew his only friend was Song and emotion. Know he's got to his dyin' day. Song and emotion. Where are they now, where are those people who promised him his dreams? Where are they now for this lonely creature on the streets? Broken, humbled by the cold reality. Life at the top ain't always what it seems. Oh, better run for cover, 'cause it looks like rain again. You best be careful of what you dream, Of what you dream! Song and emotion. Song and emotion. Song and emotion. Song and emotion |

Out on the road, and a long long way from home
Why must I be so, must I be so misunderstood While my intentions, my intentions all are good Wish only one time that things would turn out like they should Just like they should Too many times, too many times payin' the price, just for the thrill Too many hearts, too many times, overkill So many times, double around, how many faces do reveal How many folks gettin' to be over the hill She always told me things, like those weren't made of sugar and spice She always scolded me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice" Well I, Lord I've just been fooled again Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool Mama I ain't no fool - well I've just been fooled again Too many lies, shame on the wives, too many cakes and eat it too Too many hearts goin' straight down the tube Hell of a dude, did it but don't have the time and the words for use Too many rounds, too many times, overuse She's always telling me, "Just take your time, always think twice" Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice" Well I, hell I've just been fooled again Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again Mama she raised no fool - she did not raise a fool Mama I ain't no fool Oh, let me tell you if it happens again like it did next time Somebody's gonna have to walk the line, walk the line! She's always telling me, "Take my advice boy and just think twice" Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice" Well I, Lord I won't be fooled again Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again Mama she ain't no fool - I may be crazy but I ain't no fool Mama you crazy fool - may be crazy but I ain't no fool Crazy but I ain't no fool, may be crazy, I may be crazy Crazy but I ain't no fool Out in the cold, and a long long way from home |
