Standing in the red light of a Bourbon Street French Quarter
Where I met a Spanish Porter who obliged me with his grin He asked me for my time, I said I'd take a glass of wine And in my altered state of mind I opened up, he jumped right in Oh, some things never turn out right Oh, some things never turn out right Chorus: Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie Verse II: He kissed me in the lobby on the way to Pat O'Briens No, it didn't take much science to discover what was next W'suddenly a woman with a shrunken-headed necklace She made me feel so reckless, sexless in my innocence Oh some things never turn out right Verse III: She led me to the levy, I was helpless as a lamb "Don't you know who I am," she said, "Your Nemesis is free" I was wired like a weapon, I was dancin' like the Dirvish When I woke up feverishly looking down at me Chorus: Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie 4X Breakdown: From the coveted Ark, To Noah in Asia Sodom and Gomorrah, the light and the dark Chased by the demon to the caves of the Burren Imprisoned by the truth in the tales of the Turrin From original sin to original blame, for shame, for shame Oh some things never turn out right 2X Chorus: Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie 4X |

Sweet breeze, blowin' through a summer dress Seen from a window above Captured in the eyes of love Shivers, in the cool forbidden dawn Where the Iris and Jasmin run wild She was young and he was a child He vanished like July Some folks, they wondered why But old money has its friends Ain't it funny how the truth will bend Chorus: It's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret of her mystery... Verse II: Whispers, how they sound like raindrops Hush now we'll make it alright She's framed by the front porch light Uuuhuh, suspicion, raising up like dragonflies They say there's a story to tell Buried in the family well Now the congregation prays Save us from our evil ways But old money has its friends Ain't it funny how the truth will bend Chorus: It's the family secret, it's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret, just let it be I know the secret of her mystery... Solo: It's the family secret, it's the family secret It's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret, just let it be I know the secret to her mystery Keep it in the family now, behind closed doors Past the rows of cypress trees, through the Spanish moss Those old stone walls It's the family secret, it's the family secret |

Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high. Mama's dancin' with a baby on her shoulder. The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky. The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything. Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for. Black velvet and that little boy's smile. Black velvet with that slow southern style. A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees. Black velvet if you please. Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave. White lightning, bound to drive you wild. Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl. "Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle. The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true. Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for. Black velvet and that little boy's smile. Black velvet with that slow southern style. A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees. Black velvet if you please. Every word of every song that he sang was for you. In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon. What could you do? (Solo) Black velvet and that little boy's smile. Black velvet with that slow southern style. A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees. Black velvet if you please. Black velvet and that little boy's smile. Black velvet with that slow southern style. A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees. Black velvet if you please. If you please. If you please. If you please. |

He was Johnny on the spot he was red hot
Walked slow and smoked a lot She was a jukebox junkie, hand on one hip Great big eyes and bright red lips I said hey … hey hey hey well they Eased on out to the center of the floor Started dancing like never before She's spinnin like crazy, crashin' into the crowd on top of two tables, screamin' right out loud I wanna rock this joint I wanna take this town Cause I light up when the sun goes down I wanna rock this joint I wanna take this place Cause I wanna die with a smile on my face I said hey.. hey hey hey well The whole damn place Spilled into the street Climbin' on cars High on the heat up on the roof |

You're skin and bones and you talk so tough You take your time, you like to make me waiting Just when I'm ready to accelerate You wanna see me in the middle of the night You hit the streets, you're riding every night, you wanna Chorus: Kick start my heart, kick start my heart Kick start my heart, kick start my heart You get me going, you got the touch And then you tell me that I want too much You call me angel, say I'm a child Then you hit me with that rebel smile You wanna take me and you know I wanna go I lose control so easily, you know how to chorus Kick start my heart, kick start my heart (Solo) chorus repeats out (You get me going, you got my heart, you get me going, you got the touch) |

Every man I meet is in a hurry to find a new romance
Always wanna leave the party early, maybe I'd like to dance Slowly, if you really wanna know me, take it easy when you hold me I might let go Play it cool, straight and true, look me in the eye If you want to (want to) talk to me Take your time, don't be shy, tell me your name If you want to (want to) walk with me I'm the kind who waits for something special, instead of falling too fast I believe the night is something precious, that's why I want it to last So slowly, if you really wanna know me, take it easy when you hold me Don't let me go Play it cool, straight and true, look me in the eye If you want to (want to) talk to me Take your time, don't be shy, tell me your name If you want to (want to) walk with me What are we gonna do, you look like you're something new And I like the way you move Don't let me go! Play it cool, straight and true, look me in the eye If you want to (want to) talk to me Take your time, don't be shy, tell me your name If you want to (want to) walk with me Little by little I let you know If I want you (want to) to get close to me (Na na na na, na na na na, na na - want to) (Na na na na, na na na na, na na - want to) Only if you want to |

I've heard there's always one that's got to get away
Let him go even though it's not that easy I never listen to what the people say I lose control I let desire lead me My conscience aches, but it's gonna lose the fight I don't care, I'd give it all away tonight For just one kiss For just one kiss For just one kiss For just one of these fantasies I've kept inside till now Lead me on I will follow gladly Please don't be mad at me because I let it show Is it so wrong to want you so badly You got the power that I know I can't resist My heart is pounding and I'm bound to take the risk For just one kiss For just one kiss For just one kiss What if we lose tonight? We'll never know Should we give love a try or let it go? I can't help what I do The closer and closer I get to you My conscience aches, but it's gonna lose the fight I don't care I'll give it all away tonight For just one kiss For just one kiss For just one kiss |

Sitting here on the horizon
Waiting for the moon to rise Love has a way of arriving Out of the clear blue sky Ooo, I love you Don't you know it's true When you believe in something good It always comes through Always comes true Last year was harder Think I'll settle down for a while And the peaks of the mountains are glowing ANd the canyons echo your smile Ooo I love you Don't you know it's true? When you believe in something good It aways comes through Always comes true You are there to catch each tear Every time I fail How can I give back each year Tell you I... I.... I believe Ooo I love you Don't you know it's true When you believe in something good It always comes through ooo I love you Don't you know it's true When you believe in something good It always comes through Always comes true It always comes true. |

There's a place on Starowka
Lots of people live there Not supposed to, government says no But they don't care The sirens blare, apocalypse Musicians still play on They don't know who their god is now They only know this song (bridge) In all of Warsaw's grandeur In the eyes of the ancient soul We call upon our ancestors to sanctify this hall They do the dance They do the dance of love Into each other's arms they fall They do the dance of love Oni robie tan ice milosci We move into the light We got to set our beings free We scream our indiscretions A glorious reprieve Hold me in your last embrace Escape the king of doom Who will hold our hand through time When the rose has lost it's bloom (repeat bridge) We do the dance, we do the dance of love Into each other's arms we fall We do the dance of love Into each other's arms we fall We do the dance of love Hold me in your last embrace Escape the king of doom Who will hold our hand through time When the dance has left this room |

Two lips pout
Too cold for kissing Smoke pouring out Fireplace is hissing The perfect night The ideal bride Everything tried Everything missing We sat on the bed It was dark Everything he said was dead on the mark Everything was missing I went down For my midnight session To find someone To cure my obsession He said, come on Let me read your palm Nights get long In my profession We sat on the bed It was totally dark And everything he said was dead on the mark With everything missing No complaints Long black train To ride you blind To the end of the line And there I might find Everything... |

Did cupid pluck my strings with fingers Strumming through my heart like thunder Maybe if you knew I'd bet you'd write this song for me Oh! Would you strike it gently? Oh! Would you strike it mightly? My heart it cries, with every lie Did I strike the key of honesty in you? Is this life or a test of endurance? I'm durable but, am I able, am I wanting? Do I need to strike this chord in you? Do I need to see the truth? Oh, did I strike the chord of Honest y in you?

December 4, 1996 A. Myles/D. Wild
Opening slowly I sit by the water, I'm broken There's nothing left to say Red, Red Roses All but one yellow bud The gentle thud of unrequited love... Am I protected by this thorn in my heart? What must I have been thinking of? The roses of recognition Or the yellow rose of unrequited love... Here in the aftermath, Hopes crashed asunder I wonder, Can I camouflage my sadness? Begging forgiveness I don't understand love How could I not notice my madness? Red, Red Roses All but one yellow bud The gentle thud of unrequited love... Am I protected by this thorn in my heart? What must I have been thinking of? The roses of recognition Or the yellow rose unrequited love... Holding my head up To fight off their glances I shifted and picked up My coat and my glasses Boldly I stood up to everyone's weakness I've lifted my spirits but still I am sleepless Am I protected by this thorn in my heart? What must I have been thinking of? The roses of recognition Or the yellow rose unrequited love... What must I have been thinking of? |

Little tramp comin' up the strip with a hundred dollar smile
Sparks flyin' off her fingertips, drive the young cop wild Some nights are wound so tight like a storm about to break Better stand in your doorway when everything starts to shake You get restless like a cat waking up at midnight, Hungry, never quite satisfied Chorus: This is our world and these are our times This is our world and these are our times Little brother like a street god with a drop dead attitude Say he's looking like a shadow now, runnin' low on green and food Some lives are wound up tight like a wave about to crash Hard times seem to multiply while the joy runs out so fast You get restless like a kid crawling out of a bad dream Hungry, never quite satisfied chorus repeats 2x (Solo) Make way for the son of a rebel wired to a bottle of flame He's got two black eyes and a purple heart and a bone hangin' on a chain These times are like dynamite, a head-on with history Some fool's bound to burn it all down, don't care about you and me He'll get desperate like a child in the eye of a nightmare Hungry, never quite satisfied chorus repeats 2x... |

A cowboy kid cracking 105, crossing the New Mexico line (I believe) I believe we got a live one here, (hey hey) no inhibitions no fear Chorus: Hey you wanna play your hand Or are you just playing for the girls in the grandstand Don't you wanna roll them bones Are you a tumbleweed or a rolling stone Tag along with my little vagabond, as long as you got something to burn We'll slide on over to old Antone's There's a little game I think you should learn (Hey hey) There's a big shot of the owner hanging over the bar (Hey hey) Shaking hands with some rock and roll star chorus Well I'm glad I let you find me boy, I been waitin' for you Won't you be my brand new pride and joy I've been savin' up all my good luck until tonight (Solo) On a roll he was on top of the world Till he laid it all on seven and nine Lost his shirt and his keys to the highway Looks like I'll be driving tonight (Hey hey) Ten to one we'll take the long way home (Hey hey) We've got ignition, so let's go chorus repeats 2x Are you a tumbleweed or a rolling stone Are you a tumbleweed or a rolling stone... |

The street light crawls
into a bare bulb hotel Where dead eyes shine there's a story to tell It's a life of crime on a bed of stone When the devil calls you're better off alone And now I'm hiding from the light running from my destiny Haunted by a flame lying low, livin' on a memory The bugs still bite and the breezes blow Between your dreams right through your clothes The days roll by like cars on a train And the August sky still looks like rain And now I'm hiding from the light running from my destiny Haunted by a flame lying low, livin' on a memory Haunted by a dream I can't escape this reverie Trying to break away lying low, livin' on a memory I'll be walking behind you I'm a face on the wind I'll be watchin' still payin' for my sins I'm drifting down the river so slow As the lights of town are beginning to glow And now I'm hiding from the light running from my destiny Haunted by a flame lying low, livin' on a memory Haunted by a dream I can't escape from this reverie Trying to break away lying low, livin' on a memory |

Song instead of a kiss
Baby, this is a song instead of a kiss For all of you who ache, who long For nights like this Song instead of a touch Darlin', this is a song instead of a touch To all of you who wait so long And need so much It is for those who like to cling It is to those, to those I sing Here is a song instead of a clutch, instead of a moon Instead of a soothing touch in the afternoon It is for those who like to cling It is to those, to those I sing Here is a song instead of a clutch, instead of a moon Instead of a soothing touch in the afternoon |

This is the place where nobody comes from
Perfect strangers in this desert town Just out of flame and looking for favours Hungry players when the deals go down You get a hollow heart from shallow breathing And a see-through smile like the ones on T.V. This is the land of thrills and money where you Hit the edge and you drift out to sea It seems so real, looks so good But you'd give it all up and you'd start again if you thought you could And it sounds so sweet, feels so right But it leaves you cold in the middle of the night Step right up, lay your money down If you're looking to buy love in the big town Lift you up, tear you down Leave you begging for more love in the big town Down in the street with the waiters and mystics When you got faith in nothing, you just fantasize You look for a flame but you'd fall for a flicker In those angel faces and those cowboy eyes They seem so real and they look so good And with a bit of persuasion you really believe you know you could Tastes so sweet, feels so right But it leaves you cold in the heart of the night Chorus: Step right up, (lay your) money down If you're looking to find love in the big town Lift you up, tear you down They'll leave you begging for more love in the big town Oh you learn to use all your desperation Till it works its way into your soul Then you find out that you slowly lose control chorus repeats 2x... |

The last time I saw William, he was as good as gone
He'd packed up all his poetry and his hurtin' songs Well they say that he died, but the papers lied About our long lost favourite song And the last time I saw William, he was all undone He'd lost his bag of thunder, and his brave disguise He was trying to find some kind of peace of mind with brand new eyes But it all came back in shades of black, like a past that's just begun And the last time I saw William, he was a man on the run He said Chorus: It's better to fly than to hold on to shaky ground It's better to let the feelings die, when they're holding you down I saw a long line of loneliness in the corner of his eye But I never did see William cry Now the years run down the boulevard, and the marquee is long gone There's a troubadour in an empty bar, playin' hurtin' songs All the gold and praise from the glory days cannot save our souls tonight And the last time that I saw William He was walking away, walking away from the light chorus The last time I saw William, he was all undone |

You're playin' with my thunder, heavens knows I sometimes wonder who you are
You're so sweet but on the street, who do you meet when we're apart I see trouble rollin' off you like rain But I look up and I see lightning again Chorus: Between the lies and rumours, there's a world of mystery But I believe in you, do you believe in me I fell in love with danger, now I'm going through all these changes by myself You're too cool to play by the rules, but I can't fool with someone else People saying things I don't wanna hear But something tells me we've got nothing to fear chorus Too many heartaches, too little love, so many reasons for breaking us up We've got something nobody knows, we got it good, you know I can't let it go (Solo) With all the lies and rumours, sometimes you gotta roll the dice But I believe in you, and your cool blue eyes, baby chorus... |

I wonder what would happen if I fell
Would you pick me up and be my wishing well If I shared my secrets would you promise not to tell I wonder what would happen if I fell I wonder what would happen if I smiled Would you be the mystery in my eyes I'll consent to marry you if you never lie And I wonder what would happen if I smiled Looking for a sign in the eyes of love Waiting for an answer from the stars above Would you be my story when there's nothing left to tell I wonder what would happen if I fell Would you be the rockinghorse I ride If I showed no fear and held you like a child Running through the darkness till there's morning in the sky Would you be the rockinghorse I ride Then I ride, ride, you can be my rockinghorse, so giddy-up I said ride ride, ride ride, I said ride ride |
