Around the Block

If I lived next door to you
Could we have a love so true?
If your house was next to mine
Could I see you all the time?
And I don’t want to make believe
I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve
So I walk
Around the block
And right up to your door
Let me come inside
Once more
The bus ride just brings me down
Driving to the other side of town
I could be happy anywhere
As long as you are with me there
And I don’t need luxury
I need a man who wants me for me
So I walk
Around the block
And right up to your door
Let me come inside
Once more
One day we can have a home
In the neighborhood we’ve always known
You don’t have to travel far
When you know who you are
So I walk
Around the block
And right up to your door
Let me come inside
Once more
I’m just around the block from you
Come and see me when you’re feeling blue
I’m just around the block from you
Come and see me when you’re feeling blue
Around the block
Around the block
From you

Heart Turned Black
02:49

When my heart turned black
It didn’t make a sound
Falling to my knees on the cold, cold ground
When my heart turned black
I couldn’t hear a thing
Deaf to the heavens above when the angels sing
Am I gonna make it through?
I see the light shining down on you
As the darkness amplifies
A fire burning in my eyes
When my heart turned black
I had to carry on
Reaching out for your hand but you were gone
When my heart turned black
Have I been here before?
I’ve got the hounds of hell outside scratching at my door
Am I gonna make it through?
I see the light shining down on you
As the darkness amplifies
A fire burning in my eyes
Am I gonna make it through?
I see the light shining down on you
As the darkness amplifies
A fire burning in my eyes
When my heart turned black
And my blood turned cold
A name fell from my lips and the word took hold
I can’t turn away
And I don’t ever look back
Sitting on top of the world since my heart turned black

Back of Your Car

Meet me in the back of your car
Meet me in the back of your car
You say you wanna be my friend
I want to see you again
I want to see you again
Meet me in the back of your car
Meet me in the back of your car
You say you wanna be my friend
I need to see you again
I need to see you again
Meet me in the dark of the night
Meet me in the dark of the night
You know there’s nobody around
This is where it’s gonna go down
This is where it’s gonna go down
If it’s gonna happen, this is where it’s going down
If it’s gonna happen, this is where it’s going down
If it’s gonna happen, this is where it’s going down
Now

Texas Queen
03:03
|

|
I saw her from across the floor
Caught every eye as she passed the door
Well it's the way that her hips just glide
And did I see a smile as she passed me by?
Dance, dance, dance
She only came here to dance
I told her it’s my turn to buy
Walked to the bar and ordered shots of rye
She ran her finger ‘round the rim of the glass
Her voice was gentle as she knocked it back
Dance, dance, dance
Well I only came here to dance
She’s my little Texas queen
Breaking hearts since she was seventeen
And if she wants to dance then you know she’s gotta dance with me
I traced the line of her neck out slow
Leaned in close as she turned to go
Said I’m lonely as a man can be
And if you wanna dance it’s got to be with me
Dance, dance, dance
Well I think that you and I can dance
She’s my little Texas queen
Breaking hearts since she was seventeen
And if she wants to dance then you know she’s gotta dance with me
Jump up, rock ‘n’ roll with me
Jump back, do the stroll with me
Jump up, rock ‘n’ roll with me
Jump back, do the stroll with me
Jump up, rock ‘n’ roll with me
Jump back, do the stroll with me
Come on
She’s my little Texas queen
Breaking hearts since she was seventeen
And if she wants to dance
And if she wants to dance
And if she wants to dance then you know she’s gotta dance with me

In Stilettos

In stilettos
I will walk away from you
In cheetah print and leopard
I will sing the blues
I am young
And much too wild for you
I am leaving in stilettos
As my heart breaks right in two
I told you baby when we first met
I told you but you’re quick to forget
I need you all for me
It breaks my heart when I see
Her arm around your waist
That smile upon your face
And I know, yes I know
In stilettos
I will walk away from you
In cheetah print and leopard
I will sing the blues
I am young
And much too wild for you
I am leaving in stilettos
As my heart breaks right in two
Friday night just begun
Swept up and on the run
I need you back again
Breaks my heart when we pretend
That everything is fine
And I don’t mind
About her, about her
In stilettos
I will walk away from you
In cheetah print and leopard
I will sing the blues
I am young
And much too wild for you
I am leaving in stilettos
As my heart breaks right in two
It’s cold outside
Walking down these winter streets
As I leave behind
All of these broken dreams
In stilettos
I will walk away from you
In cheetah print and leopard
I will sing the blues
I am young
And much too wild for you
I am taking my stilettos
But I've left my heart with you

Western Skies
03:22
|

|
Driving through the night alone
I hear the wind over the stereo
And I need to hear your voice again
Over miles the headlights shine
To bring me back here one more time
And I need to hear your voice again
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
Or did I stay too long
Here without you
Without you
Without you
Pushing on in the desert sun
Through it all you’re the only one
And I need to hear your voice again
There’s a sadness in your eyes
All alone under western skies
And I need to hear your voice again
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
Or did I stay too long
Here without you
Without you
Without you
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
Or did I stay too long
Here without you
Without you
Without you
Here with me tonight under western skies
Here with me tonight under western skies
Here with me tonight under western skies
Here with me tonight under western skies

Crescent City Blues

Won’t you take me back, right down to New Orleans
Won’t you take me back, right down to New Orleans
Under the creole sun
Your mother’s lonely one has come home
In my darkest dreams, it comes drifting back to me
Through the pouring rain from the river to the sea
I hear you calling out my little sister’s name
I hear you calling out my little sister’s name
Let the dogs run wild
Your mother’s hard luck child has come home
In my darkest dreams, it comes drifting back to me
Through the pouring rain from the river to the sea
In my darkest dreams, I’m going back to New Orleans
In my darkest dreams, I’m going back to New Orleans
In my darkest dreams, I’m going back to New Orleans
In my darkest dreams, I’m going back to New Orleans

Mirror Can't See
03:53

This mirror can’t see the truth
Hanging on the wall
This mirror can’t see behind me
And if I’m bound to fall
Let me fall from the heavens
From the blackest sky
To tumble down forever
And never say goodbye
To you, to you
My darling back to you
Into the mirror, and tell me a beautiful lie
Into the mirror, and tell me a beautiful lie
Inside I see
Another glimpse of me
And I stare into
Never finding you
Above me, behind me
Rain keeps pouring down
Walking for miles
Over barren ground
This mirror can’t see beyond me
Or past the stars above
This mirror can’t see what I see
Or what I’m thinking of
It’s you, it’s you
My darling always you
Into the mirror, and tell me a beautiful lie
Into the mirror, and tell me a beautiful lie
Inside I see
Another glimpse of me
And I stare into
Never finding you

When I Sleep
02:56
|

|
We came a long way from the start
Dark hair and a cold, cold heart
I’ve come along way since the end
Away from tears and back again
I’ve been out, I’ve been around
It’s been a year since I’ve seen this town
If it takes time to forget
How can I tell if it’s happened yet?
When I sleep at night
I dream about you next to me
When I sleep at night
Are you gonna be
With her tonight
I wonder where you are when I sleep at night
If we ever meet again
Don’t ask if I’ve met your friend
Don’t ask if there’s someone new
I’ll look you in the eye and lie to you
It’s my heart, it’s not me
It’s all the tears that you can’t see
That spark when your eyes meet mine
You’ve been gone such a long, long time
When I sleep at night
I dream about you next to me
When I sleep at night
Are you gonna be
With her tonight
I wonder where you are when I sleep at night
Oh, no no no
How can I break away from you?
Oh, no no no
I need a lover with a heart that’s true
When I sleep at night
I dream about you next to me
When I sleep at night
Are you gonna be
With her tonight
I wonder where you are when I sleep at night

Orchids Bloom
02:34

If we sit here telling lies
We’re never gonna make it home
I can see that fire in your eyes
Burning in the darkness all alone
Tell me what you see
From upon the ledge
To the rocks below
At the waters edge
Take me where the orchids bloom
Anywhere I’ll go with you
Over ruins deep and wide
Worlds away on the other side
Over water dark and warm
My fingers in your hand
Drifting through the rocks below
Lay me down on the burning sand
Behind the blood red sun
The clouds roll in
Can you hear me call
For the world again?
Take me where the orchids bloom
Anywhere I’ll go with you
Over ruins deep and wide
Worlds away on the other side
Forever and ever, my love, where the orchids bloom
Forever and ever, my love, where the orchids bloom
Forever and ever, my love, where the orchids bloom
Forever and ever, my love, where the orchids bloom

Lipstick
02:37
|

|
She left her lipstick sitting on the bar
Next to the keychain of a brand new car
I'm walking up to her to say hello
I’m gonna leave with her when it’s time to go
And maybe it’s gonna be you and me
Leave your lipstick where you please
You don’t need anything to be with me, so come on
We’re going downtown, headed out at nine
Getting drinks with some friends of mine
You’re wearing lipstick with her high heels on
Kissing in the parking lot out till dawn
And maybe it's gonna be you and me
Leave your lipstick where you please
You don’t need anything to be with me, so come on
Leave your lipstick where you please
You don’t need anything to be with me, so come on

Good Times
02:58
|

|
Where has my darling gone?
She left me here all alone
But if I hesitate
And slowly turn to see your face
And find you there once more
To take my hand and lock the door
But these memories are no good for me
They keep me hanging on
Oh oh, the good times come and go
Oh oh, the good times come and go
When strange times begin
And younger days are back again
With dreams we used to know
They drift away and on we go
So leave me at the door
To linger with these thoughts once more
But these memories are no good for me
They keep me hanging on
Oh oh, the good times come and go
Oh oh, the good times come and go
The good times come and go
The good times come and go
The good times come and go
The good times come and go
