FOR OPENERS (WELCOME HOME) (Puerta - Pack - Drummond - Lewis***) Ain't nobody out there, just me and you It's one on one, just we two I got somethin' like a heartbeat Only you control And I'm up as far as I can bear to go This is the road so welcome home Where nothing real abounds There is no reason we must wait Let's take these pleasures now Now... Ain't nobody out there gonna disagree We're all hiding something under lock 'n' key You don't like it but you just can't stop (But) keep your screws on tight We'll undo all that's been done to you tonight This is the place it all begins There's no time to back down There is no reason to pretend Just take these pleasures now Now...
STILL NOT SATISFIED (Drummond - Pack - Puerta) Well, I'm livin' but I still ain't satisfied I'm runnin' but I don't know where to hide There have been lovers, places I've known Strangers I've turned to when I've been alone And I'm leavin' 'cause I'm still not satisfied Yeah, I'm bleedin' and I don't know where to hide There have been places I'd like to have seen Dreams that have never come true But in this lifetime there's no in between In between living with you I've been shot down but still I stand to fight I know what's wrong but I don't know what's right 'Cause all of your money, sweet talk and gold Can't buy a heart back that's already sold And I'm leaving 'cause I still ain't satisfied Yeah, I'm bleedin' and I don't know where to hide I have no reason to go back again Living but not getting through 'Cause in this lifetime there's no in between In between living with you Ain't found nothing to rely on No place I feel at home Show me something to get by on Seems I've waited so long I don't hear what you say anymore Well, I'm runnin'...
KID NO MORE ( Pack - Puerta ) Well, it's beginning to take hold That I'm gettin' too old to act the fuckin' fool that I feel Maybe I'm just too lazy To stop actin' crazy and past the point of playin' for real But oh, it's makin' me Old man, it's sure takin' its toll Can't put on the brakes yet Got the pedal to the floor But man you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more Well now I'm pushin' thirty but my legs are sturdy And ready to run like hell But I'd rather be racin' 'round While she's busy face down In my 450 S.E.L. But whoa, little lady don't ask for my I.D. Don't wanna know, no I don't Gettin' all the lovin' now I never had before But kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more Yeah, when you feel this way Well you get your kicks and lovin' nearly every day Yeah, when he feels this way Then he knows what he wants and he takes what he gets And he... I need a shot like a trigger from a potion in a jigger To keep my motor razor clean I might start actin' funny but don't worry honey Just lay back and service my machine I may be older but the grape gets sweeter The longer that it's on the vine You got no right in what you're thinkin' After doin' what you did Kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more Repeat
FEELIN' ALIVE AGAIN (Pack) When I can't count on no one else and nothin' seems true Then I begin to doubt mvself and I come to you You've cried with my disappointments And laughed at my lies Showed me the way to live again and I realize I realize That I'm feelin' alive again Feelin' like a real man Feelin' alive again Feelin' like a real man Babe, tell me what you do To make every single dream come true You give it all and now I'm givin' it back to you Wherever we may choose to live the rest of our lives If this is the best that we can give you know it's all right There may be expectations that we hold inside As long as we live up to this love we'll be all right 'Cause I'm feelin' alive again Feelin' like a real man Feelin' alive again Feelin' like a real man You know that I do feel about you You know that I do feel about you Maybe it's all behind us now, we're not so far To find everything we need somehow right where we are There are no hesitations, only the way To live inside your love again And here I will stay Here I will stay 'Cause I'm feelin' alive again Feelin' like a real man Feelin' alive again Feelin' like a real man
HOW CAN YOU LOVE ME (Pack - Puerta) Babe, it took a long, long time to get it out this way Now, that the hurtin's over all I've got to say (Is) that I know Sure as I am living It takes more than forgiving 'Cause it ain't been easy I know you did your best to please me How can you love me, After all the years we've tried After all the tears you've cried After our love has died Babe, I've seen some pretty faces everywhere I go I say now Maybe I ain't the same person that you used to know But I know In my heart I'm livin' For the love you've given And the foolish thing about it Is that I thought I'd live without it How can you love me When you know I've been with someone else And I ain't too happy with myself But I keep on comin' back around Ooh, sometimes it feels like I'm gone forever (I'm gone forever) Ooh, it gets so hard to wait (It gets hard to wait) Ooh, we're far away and it ain't gettin' better Well, I know that somethin' is surely wrong When I feel this way, well I can't go on and on
FOOL LIKE ME (Puerta) Have mercy on a fool like me My eyes were open but I just couldn't see The way the world works without honesty Honestly, I was blind When all my heroes have been laid to rest And all my idols I have come to possess And I'm still looking for some true happiness in my heart Nothing here is certain We chase a shadow of our own dream's design And wonder why it takes so long And wonder just where we went wrong We hold a candle in the wind to light our way Go lightly in your judgement please I didn't know the world was filled with such greed I'm only asking let your heart intercede And I know they still exist They say you learn something new every day I want to learn to forget all this dismay At finding out the way that some folks play Only they's gonna win ... Nothing here is sacred The golden calf we worshipped has fallen from its shrine And left us standing here stranded Our only hope's to abandon These foolish dreams that we've pursued for far too long Have mercy, have mercy ...
ICE AGE (Drummond - Pack - Puerta - Bernstein****) Home life, seems you're gettin' Mad 'n' nothin's gettin' done Old ties, that held you back Have got you on the run It's do or die, it's time to fly Tearin' up all the old news Put down the trash we used to take Now, we'll leave it for the next Fool to go, hope you know, it was almost real Don't need no one 'Cause I got my own I don't need nothin' at all Nothin's gonna change the world No handouts from your kind Oh my, it's time we found a way to Turn our heads around No time, before they put our bodies underground All right, okay, we're gonna pay Blown-out, my brains are blistered No doubt, it's been two-fisted fate Now I'm border-linin' straight from this show To some hole where we'll lay real low... Make my own world I'm on my own and I don't need that world at all Runnin' from an angry crowd No escape from your kind Ice age, the wind is chilly And the sun is almost gone Mad race, is growin' cold and your life's gettin' on No time to stop, your number's up Make my own world I'm on my own and I don't need that world at all Runnin' from an angry crowd No escape from your kind
ENDINGS.... (Pack) The season of life is here And the reason to live is clear We've waited 'till who knows when For the time to begin again It's more than the change of time It's something that's in all our minds That no matter where or when For endings are only Places where all things begin And the end is near Of things we have grown to fear We worry and reason why With the times that change our lives But more than the changing time Is the image in all our minds Of where it should be or when For endings are always Places where all things begin Oh, look at the sun On every stage, in everyone Ah, stand in the light As we get on, we will put up a fight (Places where) all things begin...
