Head East

What can you say when the love goes away
The good feeling just walked out the door
The dance with you seemed like the easiest thing in the world
But it's over and not like before

We had a good thing going
Now it's just good and gone
We lived on a street they call Dancer Road
It's that Dancer Road feeling I need so again

Dancer Road feeling, please lead me home again
Come and take this long lost son
Where the wind is warm and the days light up and flow along
I'm packed and ready, just tell me when
Just tell me when, just tell me when
(Repeat again after a break)

Dancer Road feeling such a good time feeling
It's the best thing I've ever known


I need love inside me for a girl that's here by me
I don't want to sit and cry alone

Chorus

We are people looking for
A new and promise land
Found him with fire and rain
Crossing desert sand

We were right, the moonlit night
Never stop for days
Oh, we are of the chosen few
Elijah knew the way

He would turn the tide for us
Lead us from temptation
And when we reach the promise land
He will witness our creation
He will witness our creation

With fire we fight the red man's bow
With strenght we steals his rights
Oh, we did not know what we were
We followed Elijah's plight

The path was straight and to the point
Destiny would bring
Another time, another place
Another moonlit king



Chorus

Oh Elijah, oh oh oh
Oh Elijah, oh oh oh

Oh lead us to the Shepherd's call
Every step is long
And when you feel it in your soul
Please help us with this song, oh

Oh Elijah, oh oh oh
(Numerous repeats)

Oooooohhhoooohhoohohohohohohoh
EEllliiiiiiijaaaaahhhhh

Oh Elijah, oh oh oh
Oh Elijah
Oh Elijah, oh oh oh aaaaahhh

Day and night, sittin' alone
Wonderin' where you've been goin'
In my mind I can see your face
And the love that I thought it was showin'

Didn't know it was all a mask
And my love wasted devotion
Now I'm here and you're somewhere else
Dancin' with another's emotion, another's emotion

I remember the night you captured my soul
And the mind of my own, I lost all control
I knew I had seen you before
In so many of my dreams

Like the dreams you danced away
Leaving only visions for me
Of the dance away
Dance away lover



Leading me on every step of the way
You called the tune and you used it well
You danced away and you left me here
Oh dance away, dance away lover, lover, lover, dance away

Repeat 1st and 2nd verses

Dance away, dance away lover
Carrying on every step of the way
You called the tune and you used it well
You danced away and you left me here
Oh dance away, dance away lover, lover, lover, dance away
Dance away...dance away

Got a new lady, little bit crazy
Never a moment of doubt in my mind
Couldn't forget her, soon as I met her
Knowin' that she was one of a kind

(1)She's the kind of woman
That makes a man feel right
When she starts to lovin'
It's goin' to last all night

I'm feelin' fine, knowin' she's mine
And I have her with me, can't reason why
Knowin' that I could've always been free
I'm feelin' fine, knowin' she's mine

I used to be lonely, wonderin' if only
Someone like you, would happen my way
Ever a dreamer, always a schemer
Tryin' to find, someone who would stay

Now that I found you, waitin' for me
All of my dreams have come true
When I'm beside you, feelin' so free
I just have to tell you

I'm feelin' fine, knowin' you're mine
And you're always near me, can't reason why
Knowin' that I could've alway been free
I'm feelin' fine, knowin' you're mine

Repeat (1)

I'm feelin' fine, knowin' you're mine
And you're always near me, can't reason why
Knowin' that I could've always been free

I'm feelin' fine (feelin' fine)
I'm feelin' fine (feelin' fine)
Oh I'm feelin' fine
Oh oowhoowhoowhoo
Oh I'm feelin' fine
Oh oowhoowhoowhoo (repeat 6 times)

There I was standing in the middle
I can lean left or right
We didn't know it would take so little
To turn the darkness into light
Looking through pictures in my mind

We saw the sea, we saw the mountain
We watch the sun sink into night
Hand in hand there was no question
We knew the birds would soar in flight
Looking through pictures in my mind

These pictures come to me
And they make me think of you
I remember how it used to be
I know deep down inside, the love we had was true
It's all right to put the blame on me
Looking at pictures
(Repeat again after a break)

Looking at pictures
Pictures in my mind
Pictures in my mind
Looking at pictures
Pictures in my mind
Looking at pictures
Looking at pictures
In my mind

I get the same old dream same time every night
Fall to the ground then I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts are back to the break-up
These four walls are closing in
Think of the fix you put me in

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong but since you been gone
You've cast a spell, so break it
Doo doo doo, doodoo doo doo, doodoo doo doo, can't take it

And in the night I stand beneath the back street lights
I read the words that you sent to me
I could take the afternoon but night time comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me
Your poison letter, your telegram
They go to show you don't give a damn

Chorus

(ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh....)
And if you need me back
Baby I'm here whenever you want
Doo doo doo

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong but since you been gone
You've cast a spell, so break it
Doo doo doo, doodoo doo doo, doodoo doo doo, doodoo doo doo
Ever since you been gone

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
Doodoo doo doo, doo doo doo
Ever since you been gone

Standing by my window
Darkest, coldest night I've ever seen
I feel like I'm fallin' over the edge of a dream

I'm looking back on all the fun we had
I can remember how we thought we had it bad
Laughin' and cryin' together and sleepin' on the floor
We had nothing to lose but it seemed like so much more

Livin' on love and highway signs
Didn't have nothin, just nickels and dimes
Woke up new and our hearts rang true
Thank God, we lived behind the times

[Chorus]
I'm thinkin' back on all the fun we had
I can remember how we thought we had it bad
Laughin' and cryin' together and sleepin' on the floor
We had nothing to lose but it seemed like so much more
And I hope that the good times come again
Hope that the good times come again

Now I stand here all on my own
Watchin' the sunset, feelin' alone
Meet me back at the places and faces
And to all the good times we had known

[Chorus]

And I hope that the good times come again
Hope that the good times come again
And I hope that the good times come again and again

Some men can't be happy without makin' somebody cry
And some men gotta be famous and take all the stars from the sky
And some men find the answer in a big old house by the sea
But all I wanna be is your man, that's all that matters to me

Some men gotta have money or they can't sleep at night
And some men can't be happy without every pretty girl in sight
And some boys still need mama or they just can't get along
But all I wanna be is your man and nothing's gonna go wrong

You made a brand new life for me
Now I'm the man that I wanna be
Look in my eyes, it's easy to see
You made me the man I am, the man I wanna be

Yeah, come on

Whaaaooh

You made a brand new life for me
Now I'm the man that I wanna me
Look in my eyes, it's easy to see
You made me the man I wanna be
Oh, I'm the man I wanna be
You made me the man I wanna be
You made me the man I am, the man I wanna be

We started out a long time ago
We didn't know what to do
Knockin' our romances, we took the chances
That a lot of us do
Well, we've seen strange places
We fell on our faces
It was all on the line
Cause we believed in what we were
And we know that we would see it in time

A reason to carry on
Is the feelin' when the music's done
Maybe we'll take someone's whole life
(And) turn their head around
Open up the door

Listen to me you've got to help me
I can't help myself
It's been a long long time
Wish it were mine
I can't help myself
I've been searchin' everywhere
Lookin' here and there
And I finally see
It may take forever and it never
But will you listen to me



A reason to carry on
Is the feelin' when the music's done
Maybe we'll take someone's whole life
(And) turn their head around
It's a reason to carry on, it's a reason to carry
Open up the door

A reason to carry on
Is the feelin' when the music's done
Maybe we'll take someone's whole life
And turn their head around
Open up the door oh oh
A reason to carry on
Is a feelin' when the music's done
Maybe we'll take someone's whole life
Turn their head around
It's a reason to carry on
It's a reason to carry on
Open up the door

Gave you money, bought you things
Gave you lovin' without any strings
So when you left me, you could have left
A little bit of my heart

Took you places, saw bright city lights
Make good lovin', ooh so many nights
But when you left me, you left
With every bit of my heart

Ooh, I know what you were lookin' for
I tried my best to please
With every whim that your heart desired
But it was not enough, you decided to leave

I called up your number, you're never there
You drive me crazy but you don't even care
Because you left me
You've taken every bit of my heart

Another night dressed in red
You couldn't care if I'm alive or dead
You keep me hangin'
With every bit of my heart, whoa ooh

I know what you're lookin' for
I tried my best to please
With every whim that your heart desired
But it was not enough, you decided to leave

Ooh, when you were leavin', I just said goodbye
I tried everything I knew to change your mind
Maybe I'll see you again, another time
Until then you know where I can be found

Ooh, I know what you were lookin' for
I tried my best to please
With every whim that your heart desired
But it was not enough, you decided to leave

Gave you money, bought you things
Gave you lovin' without any strings
So when you left me, you could've left
A little bit of my heart

Took you places, saw bright city lights
Made good lovin', ooh, so many nights
But still you left me and you left
With every bit of my heart

Ooh, I know what you were lookin' for
I tried my best to please
With every whim that your heart desired
But it was not enough, you decided to leave

Ooh, I know what you were lookin' for
I tried my best to please
With every whim that your heart desired
But it was not enough, you decided to leave

You know it won't take much
To change the way I feel
Sitting here all alone
The tears I can't conceal
Time has a way
Of making everything okay

Ah ah, people come and go
Ah ah, they don't seem to know
That it won't take much
To change their way of life
Open up their minds
Forget their hate and strife


Time has a way
Of making everything okay

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Time has a way
Of making everything okay

The time has come to rise up shouting
The world is dying and it needs our help
Let's stop the cars that keep on spouting
And turn to our bodies and make them well

Consumer crazied crowds keep on buying
Pieces of an earth that's going fast
What I'm saying is you better start trying
Your arms and legs because they've got to last

It's not too long til the gas is gone
And pure water is all dried up
Then we won't be the only ones
Cryin' in our empty cup

What I'm saying is pretty clear
It's a record of total abuse
You better stop preaching and listen here
Your arms and legs are gonna get some use

It's a call to arms and legs


It's about time we quit foolin' around
It's a call to arms and legs
Better get'em ready, hear the bugle sound
(Repeat 2 more times)

Better get'em ready, hear the bugle sound
Yeah
It's a call to arms and legs
It's about time we quit foolin' around
It's a call to arms and legs
Better get'em ready, hear the bugle sound
Whaaa
It's a call to arms and legs
It's about time we quit foolin' around

Gazing through the sands of time and wondering if you'll be mine
A glimpse of future days I cannot see
Shining like a morning star exquisite jewel I see afar
Aloft in heaven's heights so far from me

Sands of time won't you give some sign to let me know if it's me
For the days have passed and I've come at last to really see
That the sands of time have just left me blind to future dreams that I see
Must I fade away into yesterday, never set free

Watching as the days go by, the fall is gone and winter nigh
The nights are cold and lonely without you
Shining like a morning star exquisite jewel I see afar
Aloft in heaven's height so far from me

[Chorus]
Gazing through the sands of time, I'm wondering if you'll be mine
A glimpse of future days I cannot see
Shining like a morning star, exquisite jewel I see afar
Aloft in heaven's height so far from me

Watching as the days go by, the fall is gone and winter nigh
The nights are cold and lonely without you
Shining like a morning star exquisite jewel I see afar
Aloft in heaven's height so far from me

[Chorus]

That the sands of time have just left me blind
To future dreams that I see
Must I fade away into yesterday
Never set free

Depend on what she brings you, she's keepin' you alive
You know the price you're payin' or you wouldn't waste your time
The need you have is growin' while the feelin' makes you sing
A woman's gone and left me and she's taken everything

There's a way in which she loves you and no one takes her place
She takes away your sorrow with a warm and easy taste
She leaves you feelin' satisfied that someone really cares
Now she's gone and I wish that she was never really there

Don't let me sleep in the morning and break up the day
Don't let me tell you a story and hear what you say
Don't try to tell me you're sorry and get in the way
Don't let me sleep in the morning and break up the day

There's a lady in the corner who sees the show for free
Tonight I'll try to show her just how much she means to me
She'll leave before it's over and I won't even see
But tomorrow night she'll come back and see what's left of me
See what's let of me, see what's left of me, see what's left of me

Repeat chorus twice

Whaaooh
Don't let me sleep in the morning and break up the day

Did you see any action? Did you make any friends?
Would you like some affection? Before I leave again.

I've been walking behind you, since you've been able to see.
There's never been any reason, for you to think about me.

Did you have any bad dreams, did you break any glass?
Would you be my companion, is there even a chance?

You've been talking in circles, since I've been able to cry.

There's never been any reason, for ever telling me why, yea, yea.

Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Woman with the sweet lov'in, better than a white line.
Bring a good feeling ain't had in such a long time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.

Have you ever been lonely? Do you have any fun?
Do you ever think of me? I'm just no one. Yea.
You never give me no answer, you never tell me the truth.
There's never been any reason. For me to think about you.
There's never been any reason.
There's never been any reason. Yea.
There's never been any reason.

Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Woman with the sweet lov'in, better than a white line.
Don't you know she could bring a good feeling ain't had in such a long time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Whoa.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.

She was a girl all alone in the world
But she was young and she was free
She understood the supernatural
A real lady of mystery
She could feel the earth turning
Way down beneath her feet
You could just imagine
What a trip she was to meet

Feelin' her spell comin' on
Showin' you how to have fun
Wonderin' where she's gone
Take it on home

Saturday night down at old camopus town
Helpin' everyone hold up the wall
Hangin' around watchin' dancers get down
Wonder why I show up at all
But then it's just like magic
When she walks out on the floor
She begins to dancin'
And your soul cries out for more

Feelin' her spell comin' on
Showin' you how to have fun
Wonderin' where she's gone
Take it on home

Feelin' her spell comin' on


Showin' you how to have fun
Wonderin' where she's gone
Feelin' her spell comin' on
Showin' you how to have fun
Wonderin' where she's gone
Take it on home

Take it on home, oh aahh
Take it on home
Take it on home
Take it on home
Yeah home
Take it, take it, take it home
Oh, come on home
Yeah
Come on and take it home
Ohh yeah
Got to take it home
I want to take it home
Take it home
yeah yeah

Girl you know you're in my soul
You keep me awake all night
Well I don't know if I'm just comin' or gone
And how to make it right

Well I don't know what you're all about
I ain't had time yet to figure it out
All I know is how good you feel to me
Oh girl can't you see and...

Show me I'm alive
Please take me anywhere you've known
You can see it in my eyes sometimes
I can't believe alone
(Repeat again after a break)

I've seen so many places and made-up faces
That I never want to see again
But I know that I'll remember your smilin' face
When I get back, oh when I get back again
Won't you please...

Show me I'm alive
Please take me anywhere you've known
You can see in my eyes sometimes
I can't believe alone
Won't you show me I'm alive
Please take me anywhere, anywhere you've known
You can see it in my eyes sometimes
I can't believe... aahh

Show me, show me, show me
Whaaa show me yeahayeahayeah
Show me I'm alive
You can see it in my eyes sometimes
I can't lie
You can see it in my eyes
Show me I'm alive
You can see it in my eyes
Show me I'm alive
You can see it in my eyes

Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on

Well I knew a girl, she was the child of the devil
It took me so damn long to see
That she could wrap me around her fingers
Til there was nothin' left of poor old me

I had a night job down in the city
Where the hours seem to turn into days
The frozen clock on the wall it wouldn't move at all
I had to make my getaway

So I laid my cards down on the table
I had a feelin' I was ready and able
Now I'm livin' it my own way
I hear the music that I gotta play
It's so easy wakin' up to the day
With my life back in my own hands

There are times when I can't sing this song
When the days and nights have gone all wrong
But with somebody to love, a little help from above
I'll get my feet back on the ground before long

Chorus



Back in my own hands
Back in my own hands
Back in my own hands

There are times when I can't sing this song
When the days and nights are always goin' wrong
But with somebody to love, a little help from above
I'll get my feet back on the ground before long

Chorus

Now I'm livin' it my own way
I hear the music I gotta play
It's so easy wakin' up to the day
With my life back in my own hands
Back in my own hands
Back in my own hands

Gettin' lucky is the name of the game
What you call it, it all means the same
Put on your good looks and your dancing shoes
Go downtown and try to shake those blues
But you know, another night
Another number, gettin' lucky

Tryin' the hot spots with the bright funky lights
Look for the love and stay out of the fights
Talk to the people but you know that it's true
Even if they like you, the joke's on you
'Cause you know, another night
Another number, gettin' lucky

Livin' in a dreamy world that's full of tinsel and glitter
When the morning comes, why are you always so bitter
You know what you're gonna find and you know I'm right
You'll come home with a number from another night (aah ooh)

Livin' in a dreamy world, full of tinsel and glitter
When the morning comes, why are you always so bitter
You know what you're gonna find and you know I'm right
You'll come home with a number from another night (aah ooh yeah)

Givin' it up, would be the easy way out
Only thing you'll do is sit and pout
You've got to fight it, hold your head up high
Even if it never works, you know you try

But you know, another night
Another number, gettin' lucky
But you know, another night
Another number, gettin' lucky
Gettin' lucky yeah
What's your number (I don't know)
Are you a winner
Oh Lord, I'm a winner
I keep on tryin, tryin, tryin' yeah ohh
I got to get that number
Ooh gettin' lucky yeah
I just need some
Ooh gettin' lucky
Ooh gettin' lucky
Ooh gettin' lucky
That's the name of the game
Ooh gettin' lucky
I keep playin' now
Yeahaaa
Ooh gettin' lucky
Ooh gettin' lucky
Ooh gettin' lucky
Ooh gettin' lucky
