Set myself on fire Don't you like the way I love you babe? Call me in the morning and I'm on my way But have I lost my way? I'm kicking the same old stone again Hang me on a wire 'til I don't know when But let me lay one night Forget about tomorrow 'til it comes I do Yesterday's coming and it don't like you Am I dreaming? Don't you like the way I love you babe? Sleight of hand I've worked so hard to defend my claim And there ain't nothin' that'll sting the same Against my will I'm kicking the same old stone again Baby, let me love you 'til I don't know when

I don't care about old lovers I'll just have you as you are right now I don't care about lovers I'll have you as you are Don't give a damn what your neighbor said I'll just have you as you are right now I don't care about what he said I'll have you as you are You can do what you wanna do I'll just have you as you are right now You can go and do it I'll have you as you are And I won't think about a thing you did I'll just have you as you are right now You can go and do it I'll have you as you are And I don't care what your Grandma said I'll just have you as you are right now I don't care about what she said I'll have you as you are And I don't care about old lovers I'll just have you as you are right now I don't care about lovers I'll have you as you are

Haywire 03:11
Well the night time longs for the day And if you wait every shade of paint will fade If I look run down, weary, or just plainly spent It's not because I awoke from my sleep and left my room in the early morning Well my baby don't like when I stay out late And I don't blame her if she fancies it that way Still hardly have I been the one to take To crawling on all fours on the sidewalk, seeing double, spinning freely in the moonlight Do you look fondly on the day you tried to remember the way It felt to relive all the times you don't recall? That you don't recall? It's not quite heaven but you've come here for the view Spend all your time chasing things that never move You don't know yesterday until it's been so long And you don't know what leaving really means until you're finally up and gone

Wild Eyes 03:45
All my nights are weird, I don't shave my beard I don't shave my head I've got wild taste, my friends are as strange as me We'll go loiter and we'll do anything we want Wild, wild eyes, I like your style and your scene I want what you want, and what you need Throw it down, pick it up Come around, come on up
5.
Well, rock and roll will break your heart It will make you weep If you only knew right from the start You'd only live in dreams If you want your baby well You'll surely do her wrong You won't function in this world All for just one more song Your chords will only ring in vain They'll echo in jest Because your chords don't sound the same To you as all the rest So, rock and roll will break your heart It will make you weep Rock and roll will break your heart You'll only live in dreams Rock and roll will break your heart If you knew right from the start...
6.
Let down your hair, pretty baby Sit back, take off your shoes There's too much noise coming through the walls Ain't nothing more that we can do I hear the sound of the sirens howling beneath the light of the moon All I want is just to hear you sing, if you want, but you don't have to So do what you want, my baby People always caught up in something Everybody's got a piece to say But they can go and keep each other company Save it for another day I lift my head in the morning light, and they're doing it right away I'm the same as anyone, I'm just feeling it this way So feel what you want, my baby Let down your hair, pretty baby Don't forget that we live here too Take what you want and leave the rest behind Ain't nothing more that we can do And when everybody is moaning, at the end when the light goes dim None of anything is gonna matter in the world that we're living in Not the sky or the road we came down, if we took it just because it was ahead Except that I love you, baby Feel what you want, my baby

Oh my sweet darlin', what do you dream tonight? All the worries in your head, they soon will be alright Would you want love without struggle, or beauty without pain? A love without the sad and gloom would be a love in vain Well the moon is laying low, the night so calm and blue I feel as lonesome as it babe, and only think of you The few miles in between us, they might as well be the sea I lie in bed alone and then I dream you here with me Well the world is full of danger, wicked, and of scorn Don't turn your back one minute babe, on all you are unsure But it's also full of wonder and awe through every door There's beauty in each simple breath, but it's you that I adore
8.
Some are big, some are small Some are real, some not at all And if you want you can will them all away But if you care or dare to dream Then turn the lights down low, baby Spin, float, and shine awhile Ride on into the night Footloose and fancy free, on a holiday There's a window in the sky And it's overlooking time A pool of then and now and soon to be But if you can, then grab ahold Of a beam of light and ride on Spin, float, and shine awhile Ride on into the night Footloose and fancy free Ain't no big deal to me We'll take a never ending holiday
9.
Ask me and I'll tell you why I live on the other side Those led by temptation stray The narrow path and lose their way Mothers dress their boys in blue Good old days in front of you Then one comes to understand That it's all someone else's plan Dreams of wonder in the night Safely lost in lullaby Keep this moment in your mind For she may find the other side
10.
If you want that hoot tonight, don't wait Don't mess around with some charade Get up, dress that beat-down frame And meet me down at 5th and Main Shake it down, roll it out, come along, be a friend Do that thing Shake it down, roll it out, come along, be a friend Run around like you're a dog Jump and roll and float in fog Ride it out, can't do no harm Crawl around in that big old bog Drop and stretch out in the rain Jump out a tree, repeat again Shake it down, roll it out, come along, be a friend Do that thing Shake it down, roll it out, come along, be a friend It's for the long haul
