Talk to Me

You should know it's a hard line to tow
You should know that it might get cold
You may start to slip and slide away
But you’re on the ride so that's okay
So I say we should go

Talk to me baby
Maybe we'll keep on moving along
Talk to me baby
Maybe we'll keep on moving along

Let's go meet by the station
We can catch it and get ourselves a train
I'll be there to end the conversation
Bring your boots 'cause I think it will rain
So I say we should go

Talk to me baby
Maybe we'll keep on moving along
Talk to me baby
Maybe we'll keep on moving along

I've been lost and waiting
For the time to come
Please don't say that you changed your mind no more

Talk to me baby
Maybe we'll keep on moving along
Talk to me baby
Maybe we'll keep on moving along

I should tell you that I love you
You should know what I mean by that too
Let's go riding down the line

Talk to me baby
Maybe we'll keep on moving along
Talk to me baby
Maybe we'll keep on moving along    

What She Needs

What you want
and what you need
are never quite the same, girl.
Nooo-no

What you want
and what you need
are never quite the same.
No, no, no, no

So, get ready, baby.
Get ready for me.
Is there a possibility, sugar,
that what you want and need
is in my arms?

Ooh, tell me what you want
in the middle of the night.
Ooh, I’ll give you what you need
What she needs is me.

What you know
and what you think
is never quite the same, girl.
Nooo-no

What you know
and what you think
is never quite the same.
No, no, no, no

So, get ready, baby.
Won’t you get ready for me?
Is there a possibility, sugar,
that what you know and think
might be wrong?

Ooh, tell me what you want
in the middle of the night.
Ooh, I’ll give you what you need
What she needs is me.

I feel the rush
no matter where you are,
and it ain’t really far
when I can find you.
I hear the hush
whenever feelin’s gone
and in your deepest scar
I’m what you need.
Don’t you, don’t you get it?

Ooh, tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
in the middle of the night.
Ooh, I’ll give you what you need
I’ll give you what you need
What she needs is me.
What she needs is me.

Talkbox:
Beware of how you say,
“Every man I ever wanted will never love me.”
What you want and what you need,
never quite the same, babe.
Don’t tell me. Don’t tell me no. 
You’re breakin’ my heart, baby.
Why won’t you listen, sugar?  I’m what you need.
I wrack my brain, try to figure why –why you won’t be my baby..
Why do you say, “I’m so lonely”?      I’m what you need.

Looking

Look out the window
There's nothing to see
But the rain pouring down
Pouring down on me
Help me up so I can find
The lovely sunshine that's hiding

I'm looking for angels
They're looking for me
I need you now
Can't you see

I'm all alone
Nothing but me
And the rain, pouring rain
Pouring rain is all I can see
Help me find
Find my way home
The lovely sunshine is waiting

I'm looking for angels
They're looking for me
I need you now
Can't you see

I'm on the road
On the road back home
And I can't go alone again

I'm looking for angels
They're looking for me
I need you now
Can't you see

Birdkiller

I wish that I could leave the thought alone,
that you might not want to be on your own…
Oooh, I wish I was not the one you were gunnin’ for
You make me wish that I was back down in the nest

Hey, Little Birdkiller
I want you to know
I’ll never forget
That you’re hangin’ below in time
And I’ll hit the ground
When you been around awhile
Hey, little Birdkiller
You so could someday be mine
Be mine

I know that you will someday understand,
What I sing - it wasn’t meant to mess with your head…
Oooh, I hope we both have found just what we’re lookin’ for
You may someday need to find me and confess

Hey, Little Birdkiller
I want you to know
I’ll never forget
That you’re hangin’ below in time
And I’ll hit the ground
When you been around awhile
Hey, little Birdkiller
You so could someday be mine
Be mine

You shoulda seen me, I flew really high.
It’s too bad you broke it in the flight.
But now we’re waiting to finally look you in the eyes.
Deep down inside, we both know that it’s wrong.
To throw away both our lives.

Hey, Little Birdkiller
I want you to know
I’ll never forget
That you’re hangin’ below in time
And I’ll hit the ground
When you been around awhile
Hey, little Birdkiller
You so could someday be mine
Be mine

Na na na na na…

Change Your Mind

Change your mind
Change your mind

When I write you a letter, I'll tell you I'm fine
But you'll know better, you'll know I am lying

Change your mind
Change your mind

I'm in a situation. It's black and white
It's not a special occasion. Not that kind

Change your mind
Change your mind

Can you see way down inside of me?
I'm not chained, but I ain't free

Change your mind
Change your mind

I got a problem and its not a game
I didn't do nothing but they don't see it that way

Change your mind
Change your mind

Vote for Me

From my life, I’ve learned
how the world can treat you bad.
And I’m so concerned
how you’re poor and underfed.

I may own several homes
and a missed meal I’ve never known,
but I’ll tell you not to worry
if you agree to vote for me.

Hide the dirt,
sweep it underneath the bed.
Twist their words,
make ‘em say what they ain’t said.

I’ll tell you what you want to hear
And I’ll make what you want appear
I’ll do almost anything if you agree to vote for me.

I’ll bring peace to the valley,
Give money to the broke.
I’ll clean up those dirty alleys,
Just let me tally up your vote.
Vote for Me

Give me time
and I can fix the world.
I have got a line
straight to the Almighty Lord.

What you need I’ll help you find
I can even offer peace of mind
I’ll do almost anything if you agree to vote for me.

I’ll bring peace to the valley,
Give money to the broke.
I’ll clean up those dirty alleys,
Just let me tally up your vote.
Vote for Me

A perfect place I can bring,
Just trust me and one day you’ll see.
If elected, the angels will sing
If you only vote for me!
Vote for me!

Why Does the Devil?

Why come here stranger?
Your mind what madness fills?
In our valleys, there is danger.
There is no light on our hills.
So I said, Come on!
      Hey!  Come on!
Why does the devil get all the pretty songs?

Can’t you hear the singin’
of the angels wild and free?
For soon, you’ll know the ringin’
of the cymbals from beyond the trees.
And I say, Come on!
       Hey!  Come on! 
Why does the devil get all the pretty songs?

Take a ride on a carousel,
Round and around.
Don’t you know that’s how the devil feel
when his feet are on holy ground?
Alright!
It’s just alright.

Why rock for the devil,
buildin’ music on sinking sands?
The storms will come and knock ‘em level.
Listen to the song of man.
So I say, Come on!
     Hey!  Come on!  
Why does the devil get all the pretty songs?

Take a ride on a carousel,
Round and around.
Don’t you know how the devil feel
when his feet are on holy ground?
Alright!
Just alright.

Sunday mornin’ gets me outta bed,
but Saturday night’s music’s in my head, alright…
    

N.Y.T.L.S. (Not Your Typical Love Song)

Not your typical sound for the average love song
But our connection so far has been one of a kind
I’ve done everything to get you to want me
But you refuse to have an open mind

Girl, can’t you see
the possibility
that this is right?

Got my emotion
Building up inside
Don’t need no photograph
You’re always on my mind
The whole world is spinnin’
I don’t know what to do
You came and stole me heart away
And all I need is you

Not your typically sound for the average “I want you” song
I don’t mean to be cold –I haven’t been told what to do in, oh, so long
I just want you to try to deny there’s a situation
To be motherly clear, what you doin’ is wrong.

Girl, can’t you see
the possibility
that this is right? 

Got my emotion
Building up inside
Don’t need no photograph
You’re always on my mind
The whole world is spinnin’
I don’t know what to do
You came and stole me heart away
And all I need is you

All I have is who I am
And I can’t take it any longer
I would love you ‘til the end of time
Until the world comes crashing down

Got my emotion
Building up inside
Don’t need no photograph
You’re always on my mind
My whole world is spinnin’
I don’t know what to do
You came and stole me heart away
And all I need is you, need is you

Dear Sunshine

Dear Sunshine,
  I feel the pain
  Don't you know that you left me out in the rain?
  You got me by a string, I'm about to go insane

    Dear sunshine,
  I hurt inside
  Don't you know that you took away my pride?
  You got me by a string, I'm about to go insane
    Under the stars in the sky, I cry

    I see you through the window, I see you through the pane,
  I see you with another, walking together

    Dear sunshine

In the Rain

I can see there’s a storm
headin’ my way.
I watched the dark clouds form
through the glass of my window pane.
And deep down I’m afraid
that she won’t stay,
when the sins of my life
come to drive her love away.

So, take my hand
Convince me it’ll be alright
Help me understand
Why that girl leaves me
In the rain

I can feel the rain
start to fall.
Life is hard in the times
when your back is against the wall.
Why am I the man
who’s got to crawl?
No one’s here by my side.
 All are deaf to my every call.

So, Lord, take my hand
Convince me it’ll be alright
Help me understand
Why this world leaves me
In the rain

In the rain…
Keep on truckin’, baby
Gotta keep on truckin’
Cause I don’t got a thing to lose
When I’m leavin’ all I got to you

So, Lord, take my hand
Take my hand
Convince me it’ll be alright
Be alright
Help me understand
            Ooooh
Why this world leaves me
In the rain

In the rain…

You Done Wrong

You done wrong, I know what you did, and you won't  get very far
You done wrong, I know what you did, and you won't  get very far 

You think you are special
You think you're above the law. I know what you did
And it just ain't right. You done wrong, now ain't that a sight

You done wrong, I know what you did, and you won't  get very far
You done wrong, I know what you did, and you won't  get very far 

I got caught in the middle of your cheating ways and your lying face. It didn't last long. 
Cause I stole your pride and you know full well you got something to hide

You done wrong, I know what you did, and you won't  get very far
You done wrong, I know what you did, and you won't  get very far 

You better run away. You better hide your face from the things you done
Cause you've had your day and now you're through with all your fun

Ridge Runner

Everybody knows you’re down and out
But no one lifts a finger
Fighters know - Throw in the towel
When the stars start to linger

So when the lights
Go off in the city
Take no pity
On that rich fool
'Cause when the lights
Were on in the city
They took no pity
On you

Hold on, Ridge Runner
When your feet get wet in the pourin’ rain
Hold on, Ridge Runner
Don’t give up when you feel the pain

Everybody knows you do without
But no one stops to help you
On the streets, you can never count
On someone else to feed you

So when the lights
Go off in the city
Take no pity
On that rich fool
'Cause when the lights
Were on in the city
They took no pity
On you

Hold on, Ridge Runner
When your feet get wet in the pourin’ rain
Hold on, Ridge Runner
Don’t give up when you feel the pain

Fire cannot warm the parts of you as cold as ice
Nothing like the look in mother’s eyes
And though it’s growing darker don’t be giving up the fight
It’s not the final chapter of your life

So when the lights…
So when the lights…

Hold on, Ridge Runner
When your feet get wet in the pourin’ rain
Hold on, Ridge Runner
Don’t give up when you feel the pain
