Turn to Stone

Hey now the well run dry
Pages of the book on fire
Read the writing ...on the wall...

Hoedown, say showdown
Everywhere you look
they're fighting...Hear the call...

And you know its getting stronger,
It can't last very much longer
Turn to stone

(Break/Short Solo 1)

Well there's a change in the wind
You know the signs don't lie
Such a strange feeling and I don't know why
Its takin'... such a long time ...

Backyard people and they work all day
Tired of the speeches
And the way the reasons they keep changin'...
Just to make the Words Rhyme...

And you know its getting stronger,
Can't fake 'em out much longer
Turn to stone

(Solo 2)

And you know its getting stronger,
It can't last very much longer
Turn to stone

(Quiet Break)

(Break/Solo 3 to end)

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.

I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.

I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.

I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, Let's go there
Take me to that great place with wonders and wishes
Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there. Let's go there
just take me to that great place with wonders and wishes

Sittin here thinkin bout yesterday
About what we did and how we used to play
Just the thought of you bring a smile upon my face
That's how it makes me feel to see you everyday

Where we go, nobody knows
And what we do, is between me and you
So c'mon and take my hand, to that special place
Where smiles come to life, and dreams come true

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, Let's go there
Take me to that great place with wonders and wishes
Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there. Let's go there
just take me to that great place with wonders and wishes

Let's make a wish
Close your eyes and count to five
Cuz you know that everything will be alright
See the magic in your eyes
Cuz the love you know
To bring your dreams to life

Where we go, Nobody knows
And what we do, is between me and you
So c'mon and take my hand, to that special place
I don't ever want this dream to go away

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, Let's go there
Take me to that great place with wonders and wishes
Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there. Let's go there
just take me to that great place with wonders and wishes

Now Lil is the one with all the exposure
Phil is the one who drop in the stroller
Tommy got the whole world on his shoulders
And Phil cries to sleep,
Til' his eyes get bleak
I'm identical to Chucky, Chucky to petro
Chucky get scared, Chucky says "Let's Go."
If I was a rugrat, it would've been so real
Me and my twin would've been just like Phil and Lil

Got one wish, Blink grant you one trip
Where we going, it's an adventure, who you wanna come with
See you my little brother that I'll come get
Run with, But it gotta be done quick
See Chucky is scared and Tommy is sad
And Phil and Lil misses their mom and dad
So take the time of day
And we'll find the place
And I guarantee that we will all get home safe

Just Take me there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, Let's go there
Take me to that great place with wonders and wishes
Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there. Let's go there
just take me to that great place with wonders and wishes

Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why she's given half her life, to people she hates now
Stephanie says when answering the phone
What country shall I say is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind
It's all in her mind

Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why it is though she's the door She can't be the room

Stephanie says but doesn't hang up the phone
What sea shell she is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die, the people all cal her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind
It's all in her mind

She asks you is it good or bad
It's such an icy feeling it's so cold in Alaska,
it's so cold in Alaska, it's so cold in Alaska

Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition

From Genesis to Revelations
The next generation will be hear me
All the crimes committed day by day
No one tried to stop it in any way
All the peace makers turn war officers
Hear what I say

Ain't but one way out baby, Lord I just can't go out the door.
Ain't but one way out baby, and Lord I just can't go out the door.
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.

Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor;
If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more.
So raise our window baby, I can ease out soft and slow.
And lord, your neighbors, no they won't be
Talking that stuff that they don't know.

Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place,
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place.
Ain't no way in the world, I'm going out that front door
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
Cause there's a man down there,

Freely
Lord, it just might happen to be your man...
Lord, it just a might be your man,
Oh baby, I just don't know...

Nowhere girl, you're living in a dream,
Nowhere girl, you stay behind the scenes,
Nowhere girl, you never go outside,
Nowhere girl, cause you prefer to hide.

Every day, every night
In that all old familiar light
You hold up when I call you at home.
And I try to get angry
And I try to talk to you
But there's something stopping me from getting through.

Nowhere girl, what you had you need,
Nowhere girl, all functional and neat,
Nowhere girl, in self-imposed exile,
Nowhere girl, a martyr-like denial.

Every day, every night
In that all old familiar light
You hold up when I call you at home.
And I try to get angry
And I try to talk to you
But there's something stopping me from getting through.

Every day, every night
In that all old familiar light
You hold up when I call you at home.
And I try to get angry
And I try to talk to you
But there's something stopping me from getting through.

I'm about to have a nervous breakdown
My head really hurts
And if I don't find a way out of here
I'm gonna go berserk cause
I'm crazy and I'm hurt
Head on my shoulders
It's going... berserk

I hear the same old talk talk talk
The same old lines
Don't grill me that today
yeah If you know what's good for you you'll get out of my way
cause I'm crazy and I'm hurt
Head on my shoulders
Is going... berserk

I won't apologize
For acting outta line

Head on my shoulders
Is going... berserk

Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!
I don't care what you fuckin' do
I don't care what you fuckin' say
I'm so sick of everything I just want to... die!

your hand on his arm
the haystack charm around your neck
strung out and thin
calling some friend trying to cash some check
he's acting dumb
that's what you've come to expect

needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay

he's wearing your clothes
head down to toes a reaction to you
you say you know what he did
but you idiot kid
you don't have a clue
sometimes they just get caught in the eye
you're pulling him through

needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay

now on the bus
nearly touching this dirty retreat
falling out 6th and Powell a dead sweat in my teeth
gonna walk walk walk
four more blocks plus the one in my brain
down downstairs to the man he's gonna make it all OK
I can't beat myself
I can't beat myself
and i don't want to talk
I'm taking the cure so i can be quiet
whenever I want
so leave me alone
you ought to be proud that I'm getting good marks

needle in the hay
needle in the hay

Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse

(Spoken)
It's such a madhouse, I can hardly get next to myself.

Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse
Motor City madhouse

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

CHORUS
More than this-there is nothing
More than this-tell me one thing
More than this-thre is nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

CHORUS

The mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out he began to shout
And he started the investigation
It's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law

The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Everytime my name gets mentioned
The papa said oy if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way

I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard

In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest
Come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way

I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurt

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days,

Tears that angels cry
And they darken all the sky
When the one you love says good-bye
Tears that angels cry
Sing a lullaby
Sing it soft and only sigh
When the one you love says good-bye
Sing a lullaby
When your love still is strong
When the one you love is gone

Look at me
What am I supposed to be?
What am I supposed to be?
Look at me
What am I supposed to be?
What am I supposed to be?
Look at me
Oh my love oh my love

Here I am
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
Here I am
What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?
Here I am
Oh my love oh my love
Look at me, oh please look at me, my love
Here I am - oh my love

Who am I?
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Who am I?
Nobody else can see
Just you and me
Who are we
Oh my love oh my love

I don't mind you comin' here
and wastin' all my time
'cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind
it's not the perfume that you wear
it's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
and wastin' all my time

I don't mind you hangin' out
and talkin' in your sleep
it doesn't matter where you've been
as long as it was deep, yeah
you always knew to wear it well and
you look so fancy I can tell
I don't mind you hangin' out
and talkin' in your sleep

I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I don't mind you comin' here
and wastin' all my time time
'cause when you're standin' oh so near

Iron Man

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

Darlin’ darlin’ darlin’
I can’t wait to see you
Your picture ain’t enough
I can’t wait to touch you in the flesh
Darlin’ darlin’ darlin’
I can’t wait to hear you
Remembering your love
Is nothing without you in the flesh

Went walking one day on the lower East side
Met you with a girlfriend, you were so divine
She said, "Hands off this one sweetie, this boy is mine."
I couldn’t resist you - I’m not deaf, dumb, and blind

Darlin’ darlin’ darlin’
Now you’re out of town
Those girls that you run with
They bring my head down
Ooh Darlin’ darlin’
Watch out if I see you
’Cause if you say hello
It’ll mean you wanna see me in the flesh

Ooh warm and soft, in the flesh
Ooh close and hot, in the flesh
Ooh

I know a guy who's tough but sweet
He's so fine, he can't be beat
He's got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire

I want candy
I want candy

Gonna see you when the sun goes down
Ain't no finer boy in town
You're my guy you're what the doctor ordered
So sweet you make my mouth water

I want candy
I want candy

Candy on the beach, there's nothing better
But I like candy when it's wrapped in a sweater
Some day soon I'll make you mine
And I'll have candy all the time

I want candy
I want candy

I Don't Want You, Cook My Bread

I Don't Want You To Be Sad And Blue
I Just Wanna Make Love To You

I Can Tell By The Way
That You Baby Talk
I Can See By The Way
That You Switch And Walk
I Can Tell By The Way
That You Treat Your Man
But I Could Love You Baby
It's A Cryin' Shame
