Get Over It

I turn on the tube  and  what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame  me"
They point  their crooked little fingers ar everybody else
Spend all their time feelin'  sorry for themselves
Victim  of this, victim of that
Your momma's too  thin; your daddy's  too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and  cryin' and pitchin' a  fit
Get over it, get over it
You  say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But  you  might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think  about it, Old  Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers,  kill 'em tonight
You don't  want to work, you want to live  like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't  owe you a thing
Get over it
Get over it
If you don't want to play,  then you might as  well split
Get over it, Get over it
It's  like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You're  makin'  the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick, but  I call it weak
You drag it around like a ball and chain
You  wallow in the guilt; you  wallow in the pain
You wave it like  a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got  your mind in the gutter,  bringin' everybody down
Complain about the present  and blame  it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child and kick it's  little ass
Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin'  and moanin' and pitchin' a  fit
Get over it, get over it
Get  over it
Get over it
It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't  you  quit
Get over it, get over it

Love Will Keep Us Alive

I was standing
All  alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a  place  to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the  will to survive
When we're  hungry...love will keep us alive
Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is  changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've  found you
There's no more  emptiness inside
When we're  hungry...love will keep us alive
I would die for you
Climb  the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing  I wouldn't do
I  was standing
All alone against the worlk outside
You were  searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now  you've given me the will to  survive
When we're hungry...love  will keep us alive
When we're  hungry...love will keep us alive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive

The Girl From Yesterday

It wasn't  reall sad  the way they said good-bye
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she  couldn't cry
He packed his things, walked out the door and  drove away
And she became the girl from yesterday
He  took a plane across the sea
To some foreign land
She stayed  at  home and tried to understand
How someone who had been so  close could be so  far away
And she became the girl from yesterday
She doesn't know what's right
She doesn't know what's wrong
She only  knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
And she doesn't count the  teardrops
That she's cried while  he's away
Because she knows deep in her  heart
That he'll  be back someday
The light's on in the window; she's waiting  by the phone
Talking to a  memory that's never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the things  that he might say
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
Yeh,  she'll  always be the girl from yesterday

Learn  To Be Still

It's just another  day in paradise
As  you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to  silence
Those  voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find  happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn to be still
We are like  sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So  we wander 'round this desert
And wind up following the wrong  gods home
But the flock cries out for another
And they  keep answering that bell
And one more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell-
Learn to  be still
Learn  to be still
Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell  so sweet
Maybe you've  forgotten
The heaven lying at your  feet
-Solo-
There are so many contridictions
In all  these messages we send
(We  keep asking)
How do I get out  of here
Where do I fit in?
Though the  world is torn and  shaken
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for  you  to awaken
And someday you will-
Learn to be still
Learn  to be  still
You just keep on runnin'
Keep on runnin'

Tequila Sunrise

It's  another tequila  sunrise
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said  goodbye
He was just a hired  hand
Workin' on the dreams  he planned to try
The days go by
Ev'ry night when the sun  goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out  runnin' 'round
She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't  keep from comin' on
It's  been so long
Oh, and it's a hollow  feelin' when
It comes down to dealin'  friends
It never  ends
Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right  words never come
You just get numb
It's another tequila  sunrise,this old world
Still  looks the same,
Another frame,  mm...

Hotel California

On  a dark desert  highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of  colitas, rising up through the  air
Up ahead in the distance,  I saw a shimmering light
My head grew  heavy and my sight grew  dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the  doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was  thinking to  myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then  she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices  down the  corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome  to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely  face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of  year, you can  find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she  got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of  pretty, pretty boys,  that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard,  sweet  summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So  I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said,'We  haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And  still those  voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up  in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome  to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely  face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a  nice surprise,  bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We  are all just  prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's  chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely  knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing  I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the  passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,'said the  night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout  any time you like,
But you can never leave!

Wasted Time

Well baby, there you stand
With  your little head, down in your hand
Oh, my God, you can't believe  it's happening
Again
Your baby's gone, and you're all  alone
And it  looks like the end.
And you're back out  on the street.
And you're tryin' to remember.
How  will  you start it over?
You don't know what became.
You don't  care much  for a stranger's touch,
But you can't hold your  man.
You never thought you'd be alone this far
Down the  line
And I know  what's been on your mind
You're afraid  it's all been wasted time
The autumn leaves have got you thinking
About the first time that you  fell
You didn't love the  boy too much, no, no
You just loved the boy to  well, Farewell
So you live from day to day, and you dream
About  tomorrow,  oh.
And the hours go by like minutes
And the shadows come  to  stay
So you take a little something to
Make them go  away
And I could  have done so many things, baby
If I could  only stop my mind from wondrin'  what
I left behind and from  worrying 'bout theis wasted time
Ooh, another love has come  and gone
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
I remeber  what you told me before you went out on your own:
"Sometimes  to keep it together, we got to leave it alone."
So you can  get on with your  search,baby, and I can
Get on with mine
And  maybe someday we will find ,  that it wasn't really
Wasted  time
Mm,hm
Oh hoo, ooh, ohh,
Ooh,ooh, mm

Pretty Maids All In A Row

Hi there,
How  are 'ya?
It's been a long time
My, but we learn so slow
And  heroes, they come
And they go
And leave us behind  as if
We're  s'pposed to know why
Why do we give up our  hearts to the past?
And why  must we grow up so fast?
And  all you wishing well fools
With your fortunes
Someone should  send  you a rose with
Love from a friend,
It's nice to  here from you
Again
And the storybook comes to a close
Gone are the ribbons and bows
Things to remember places  to go
Pretty Maids all in a Row
Oh, oh oh,  oh......

I Can't Tell You Why

Look at  us baby,  up all night
Tearing our love apart
Aren't we  the same two people who  live
Through years in the dark?
Ahh...
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn  around and stay
And I can't tell you why
When we get crazy,
It just ain't to right,
(try to keep you head,  little  girl)
Girl, I get lonely,too
You don't have to worry
Just  hold on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause  I love you
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see
We make  it harder than it has to be
And I can't tell you why
No,  baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell  you why
No,no,  baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I  can't  tell you why

New York Minute

Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the  station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he  won't be down  on Wall Street
In the morning
He had a home
The love  of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As  years unfold
One  day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this  world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
Things  can get pretty strange
In a New York Minute
Everything can  change
In a New York Minute
Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to  emergency
Somebody's  going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this  world
You  better hand on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a New York Minute
Everything can change
In a New  York Minute
Things can get a little strange
In a New York  Minute
Everything can  change
In a New York Minute
And  in these days
When darkness falls early
And people rush  home
To the ones they love
You better take a fool's advice
And tak care  of your own
One day they're here;
Next  day they're gone
I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And  took a walk down through the  park
The leaves were falling  around me
The groaning city in the  gathering dark
On some  solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark,
"Baby,  I've changed. Please come back."
What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
The days were  so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know there's  somebody  somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day,  I  have to believe
I believe, I believe
In a New York  Minute
Everything can change
In a New York Minute
You  can get out of the rain
In a New York Minute
Everything  can  change
In a New York Minute

The Last Resort

She came from  Providence,
The  one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hand
Heavy  in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
Like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about  a place people were simlin'
They spoke about the red  man's  way,
And how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
To the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
Or a  place to hide
Down in the crowded bars,
Out for a good  time,
Can't wait to tell you  all,
What it's like up there
And they called it paradise
I don't  know why
Somebody  laid the mountains low
While the town got high
Then the  chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
Through the canyons  of the coast, to
The Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
Hungry for  power
To light their neon way
And give  them things to do
Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody  caught 'em
Put up a  bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
People  bought 'em
And they called it  paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
You can leave  it all behind
And sail to Lahaina
Just like the  missionaries  did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign:"Jesus  is  coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought  the white man's  reign
Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more  new frontier
We have got to make it here
We satifsy our  endless needs and
Justify our bloody deeds,
In the  name  of destiny and the name
Of God
And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They call it paradise
I don't know  why
You call someplace paradise,
Kiss it goodbye

Take it Easy

Well, I'm running  down  the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven  women on my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna  stone me,
One says she's a  friend of mine
Take It easy,  take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own
Wheels  drive  you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try  to  understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And  take it easy
Well, I'm a standing on a corner
In Winslow,  Arizona
And such a fine  sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord,  in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to  take a look
At me
Come  on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
We  will never be  here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in, so take  it easy
Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen
My  load,
Got a world  of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a  lover who won't blow my
Cover, she's  so hard to find
Take  it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your  own
Wheels  make you crazy
Come on baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta  know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh  we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

In the City

Somewhere out there on  that horizon
Our beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin'  better
But there's nowhere else in sight
It's survival  in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets  don't have much pity
When  you're down, that's where you'll  stay
In the city,oh,oh.
In the city
I was born here  in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing  grows,  and life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when  you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the  neon sky
I know there  must be somethin' better
And I can't  stay another night
In the  city,oh,oh.
In the city

Life In The Fast Lane

He was  a  hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome, and she was teminally  pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransome in the  heart
Of the cold,  cold city
He had a nasty reputation  as a cruel dude
They said he was  ruthless, they said he was  crude
They had one thing in common, they were
Good in  bed
She'd say, 'Faster,faster. The lights are turnin' red."
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind,  mm
Are you  with me so far?
Eager for action and bot for  the game
The coming attraction, the drop of  a name
They  knew all the right people, they took
All the right pills
They  threw outrageous parties, they paid heavily bills.
There were  lines  on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to  notice, she was caught  up
In the race
Out every evening,  until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she  was too  tired
To fight about it
Life in the fast lane
Surely  make you lse your mind
Life in the fast  lane, everything all  the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
Blowin' and  burnin',  blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign,
Took a  turn  for the worst.
She said, "Listen, baby.You can hear  the engine
Ring.We've been up and  down this highway;
Haven't  seen a goddam thing."
He said,"Call the  doctor. I think I'm  gonna crash."
"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta  pay  him cash."
They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around
And  got lost
They didn't know they were just dyin' to  get off
And it was  life in the fast lane
Life in the fast  lane

Desperado

Desperado,  why don't you  come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences  for so long now
Oh,  you're a hard one
I know that you  got your reasons
These things that are  pleasin' you
Can  hurt you somehow
Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll  beat you if she's able
You know the queen of heats is always  your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have  been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that  you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
Your  pain and your hunger,  they're drivin' you home
And freedom,  oh freedom well, that's just some  people talkin'
Your prison  is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get  cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the  sun won't  shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're  loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling  goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come  down from your fences,  open the gate
It may be rainin', but  there's a rainbow above you
You  better let somebody love you,  before it's too late
