One, two
One, two, three, go
Don't get angry with me
I never caused you no pain
I won't be angry with you
But I can't see straight (yeah)
It hasn't rained for a month, the river's run dry
We haven't made love and I wanna know why
Why you angry with me?
Why you angry?
Please just forget about me
Cancel out my name
Please never write to me
I love you just the same
I hear a melody
Ringing in my brain
Just keep the memories
Don't have to be ashamed
Don't get angry with me
I'm in a desperate state
I'm not angry with you
Don't you spit in my face
The wolf's at the door with the teeth and the claws
My mouth's getting sore, I can't take anymore
Why you angry with me?
Why you angry?
Voices keep echoing
Calling out my name
Hear the rain keep beating
On my window pane
I hear a melody
Ringing in my brain
You can keep the memories
Don't have to be ashamed
Don't get angry with me
(Angry)
(Angry)
Yeah (angry), yeah (don't be angry with me)
If we go separate ways
(Angry) yeah, don't be angry with me
Let's go out in a blaze
(Angry) yeah (don't be angry with me)
Don't you spit in my face
(Angry) oh
Don't be angry with me
Don't get, don't get
No, no (angry), yeah (don't be angry with me)
I'm still taking the pills and
I'm off to Brazil (angry, don't be angry with me), yeah
Please (angry), don't be angry with me (don't be angry with me)
Come on
Don't (angry), no, no
(Don't be angry with me) no, no, no, no, no, no, yeah

Get Close
Listen, I walk the city at midnight with the past strapped to my back
Lately I can't get no sleep, I'm a real insomniac
I was chatting with a ghost, wants a hundred and a match
Says, "I know you got the money, where's the man behind the mask?"
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you
I walk this way a million times with a blindfold on my eyes
It's a nighttime business with an angel in disguise
I bargained with the devil, I need heaven for one night
I can't stand this chaos, it's churning up my mind
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get lost in you
Talk to me, pour your secrets out
Tell me I'm the only man you ever dream about
Talk to me, why don't you scream it out
Tell me that you'd rather die than live without, live without me
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you
Talk to me, pour your secrets out
Tell me I'm the only man you ever dream about
Talk to me, why don't you scream it out?
Tell me that you'd rather die than live without, live without me
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get high on you
I wanna get lost in you
I wanna dive into you
I wanna get close to you
Listen, I walk the city at midnight with the past strapped to my back
Lately I can't get no sleep, I'm a real insomniac
I was chatting with a ghost, wants a hundred and a match
Says, "I know you got the money, where's the man behind the mask?"

I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you

Depending On You
Your fingerprints in the dark
Your past and present tangle up in my arms
Our secrets sealed in our scars
Sharing a smoke on the steps of a bar
I was convinced I had your heart in my hands
I was making love but you had different plans
Now she's giving her loving to somebody new
I invented the game but I lost like a fool
Now I'm too young for dying and too old to lose
'Cause I was depending on you, yeah
'Cause I was depending on you
It's time to harden my shell
The toughest part is I know you too well
Now I'm just a story you tell
Embroidering the truth with things you never felt
You steal the spirit right out of a man
Now you're working on him and you don't give a damn
Now she's giving her loving to somebody new
I invented the game but I lost like a fool
Now I'm too young for dying and too old to lose
'Cause I was depending on you, yeah
'Cause I was depending on you
Now she's giving her loving to somebody else
She threw me down like a book off the shelf
Now I'm too young for dying and too old to lose
'Cause I was depending on you
'Cause I was depending on you
Depending on you
Yeah, depending on you
Ayy, I was depending, relying on you
I was depending, depending on you
I was depending on you
Your past and present tangle up in my arms
Our secrets sealed in our scars
Sharing a smoke on the steps of a bar
I was convinced I had your heart in my hands
I was making love but you had different plans
Now she's giving her loving to somebody new
I invented the game but I lost like a fool
Now I'm too young for dying and too old to lose

Whole Wide World
The streets I used to walk on
Are full of broken glass
And everywhere I'm looking
There's memories of my past
The filthy (?)
The smell of sex and gas
I never ever really knew
What I was sleeping next
When the whole wide world's against you
And you're standing in the rain
When all your friends have let you down
And treat you with disdain
When the whole wide world's against you
And that's got you on the run
And your faith (?) is over
But it's only just, only just become
Behind the bars of prison
You never guess it now
They wanna break your paws and (?) walls
And the guards (?)
The (?) are watching you
They see a (?) face
Get me out the door, (?)
I'm breaking down the gates
When the whole wide world's against you
And you're standing in the rain
And your walls are one beside you
To put you up again
When the whole wide world's against you
And that's got you on the run
And your faith (?) is over
But it's only just, only just become
When the (?) streets of London
They never promise much
A deaded job to nowhere
And only your dreams are crushed
When the whole wide world's against you
And you're standing in the rain
When all your friends have let you down
And treat you with disdain
And your faith (?) is over
But it's only just, only just become
Let's raise a glass, get up a (?)
'Cause lights just hit and, hit and, hit and run
Hit and run, yeah
The party (?)

Are full of broken glass

Dreamy Skies
Well, I got to take a break from it all
'Cause the wind and the wilderness calls
And I just need some peace from the stars
I got to take a break from it all
And I got to take a break for a while
(?) human for a hundred miles
I hate pinning close by the walls
Well, I got to take a break from it all
I'll be dancing on diamonds, I'll be skating on (?)
I'll be chopping up world, I'll be splitting the (?)
An old damn radio is all that I've got
It just plays Hank Williams and some bad honky-tonk
'Cause I got to take a break from it all
And I got to break away from it all
To the city and a (?)
In a small town (?)
To a place where no one can call
And I won't hear the sirens or the maddening crowd
Just the (?) of a fox and the hoot of a owl
Ain't got no connections or a satellite foam
I'm avoiding the pictures and the people back home
And I just got to break free from it all
You see, they can't last forever, I'll be diving back in
It's good for my soul, yes, it's saving my skin
'Cause I love the laughter (?)
I just got to break free from it all
And are we off the grid, off the (?)?
I ain't got (?) and I ain't gon' miss
I just need some peace from the storm
I got to break away from it all
And I got to break away from it all
And I got to break away from it all
To a place where no one can call

Live By The Sword
If you live by the sword, gonna die by the sword
If you live by the gun, you're gonna die by the gun
If you live for the knife, well, you're gonna get stabbed
Run into the law, well, you're gonna get nabbed
If you live for revenge, gonna feel the backlash
If you live to be cruel, gonna bite you in the ass
I'm gonna treat you right
I'm gonna treat you good
If you wanna get rich, better sit on the board
If you wanna be poor, better pay the landlord
If you're deep in the crime, well, you're deep in the slime
If you're livin' a lie, look me straight in the eye
If you're locked in the jail, well, you better get free
If you're lookin' for love, don't go running to me
I'm gonna treat you right
I'm gonna treat you good
It's too late to say you're sorry, sorry, sorry
And soon it will be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
If you live like a whore, better be hardcore
If you live by the clock, well, you're in for a shock
If you're living for food, better lick up your plate
If you wanna be in fashion, well, you'll be out of date
I'm gonna treat you right
I'm gonna treat you good
I'm gonna treat you right
I'm gonna treat you good
Oh, if you live by the sword

Get shot up, you better call 911
And then you better hang out until the ambulance comes

Driving Me Too Hard
You're driving me too hard
You pushed it way too far
Every time I give a little bit
You mess a little, take it off
You're driving me away
Why don't we just take a break?
We're up headed to, you'll never know
(Yeah)
Look what you've done to me
You've emptied my eyes
I twisted my sanity
And all you had to do was cry
You're driving me too hard
You threw me off my guard, yeah
I can't seem to shake a grip on me
You never wanna show your cards
You're driving me to ground
I don't know why I stick around
I guess that you break on a part of me
Well, that I'll have to do for now
So look what you've done to me
You've emptied my eyes
I twisted my sanity
And all you had to do was cry
Driving
Driving me too hard, yeah (driving)
I'd like to take it slow
You're driving me too hard (driving)
Sometimes I love to take it slow, yeah, yeah
The door is never close, yeah (driving)
I leave it in ajar, yeah (driving)
Driving me, driving me too hard (driving)

Do we have something or nothing at all?
Just tell me straight
You got me high and it's quite a long fall
Tell me straight, yeah, tell me straight
How do we finish? How do we start?
Tell me straight
How do we miss? How do we part?
Just tell me straight, just tell me straight

Just to clear my mind
Find out if it's true
Ooh, you're running too fast

Just need a little time
Just to clear the mind
And find out if it's true
Is the future all in the past?
Just tell me straight
Lately it's on, that's moving so fast
Just tell me straight, tell me straight
Just tell me straight
You got me high and it's quite a long fall
Tell me straight, yeah, tell me straight
How do we finish? How do we start?
Tell me straight
How do we miss? How do we part?
Just tell me straight, just tell me straight
Everyone is asking questions
Answers just won't do, yeah
I need a little time
Just to clear my mind
Find out if it's true
Ooh, you're running too fast
Tell me straight
I need an answer, how long can this last?
Just tell me straight, don't make me wait
Is my future all in the past? Yeah
Tell me straight, tell me straight
Everyone is asking questions, yeah
I got one, oh, too
Just need a little time
Just to clear the mind
And find out if it's true
Is the future all in the past?
Just tell me straight
Lately it's on, that's moving so fast
Just tell me straight, tell me straight

Sweet Sounds of Heaven
I hear the sweet, sweet sounds of Heaven
Fallin' down, fallin' down to this earth
I hear the sweet, sweetest sounds of Heaven
Driftin' down, driftin' down to this earth
Bless the Father, bless the Son, hear the sound of the drums
As it echoes through the valley, it bursts, yeah
Let no woman or child go hungry tonight
Please protect us from the pain and the hurt, yeah
I smell the sweet scents (sweet)
Sweet scents of Heaven (Heaven)
Tumblin' down (tumblin' down)
Tumblin' down to the earth (oh)
I hear the sweet sounds (sweet sounds)
The sweet sounds (ooh, the sweet sounds of children) of children
And they're praisin' (praisin')
The land of their birth
(No) no, I'm not going to hell
In some dusty motel
And I'm not, not goin' down
In the dirt (yes, yes, yes)
I'm gonna laugh (I'm gonna laugh)
I'm gonna cry (I'm gonna cry)
Eat the bread, drink the wine
'Cause I'm finally, finally quenchin' my thirst, yeah
You can't have a light without a little shadow, yeah
Always need a target for your bow and arrow
I want to be drenched in the rain
Of your heavenly love, oh, yeah, c'mon
Let the music (let the music) play loud (play loud)
Let it burst (let it burst) through the clouds (through the clouds)
And we all feel the heat
Of the sun, yeah
Yeah, let us sing
Let us shout (let us shout)
Let us all stand up proud (all stand up proud)
Let the old still believe that they're young, yeah
Sweet, sweet sound
Sounds so sweet (oh, so sweet)
Sounds so sweet (so sweet)
(Heaven, Heaven)
Down, falling down (falling down) to this earth

Rolling Stone Blues
Well, I wish I was a catfish
Swimming in the deep blue sea
I'd have all you good-looking women
Fishin' after me, fishin' after me
Fishin' after me
Well, well
Well
When I went to my baby's house
And I sat down on her step
She said, "Now come on in now, baby
My husband, he just left
My husband, he just left
My husband, he just left"
Oh well
Well, my mother told my father
Just before I, I was born
She said, "Got a boy child comin', it's gon' be
Gonna be a rolling stone
It's gonna be a rolling stone
It's gonna be a rolling, oh well"
Swimming in the deep blue sea
I'd have all you good-looking women
Fishin' after me, fishin' after me
Fishin' after me
Well, well
Well
When I went to my baby's house
And I sat down on her step
She said, "Now come on in now, baby
My husband, he just left
My husband, he just left
My husband, he just left"
Oh well
Well, my mother told my father
Just before I, I was born
She said, "Got a boy child comin', it's gon' be
Gonna be a rolling stone
It's gonna be a rolling stone
It's gonna be a rolling, oh well"
