I'll make you freak and
Make you lose control

I'm a minister of Rock 'N Roll
Highway to Heaven and your pot of gold
Come on and join the crowd
I'm a fire when you're feeling cold
I'll make you freak
And make you lose control
What are you waiting for now?

I Don't Want to Be a Star

Just want my chevy and an old guitar
I don't want to be a star
I don't need the fat cigar

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
'Cause I don't get off on my fame
I got so much confusion now
Sometimes I don't even know my name

I don't want to be a star
Just want my chevy and an old guitar
I don't want to be a star
I don't need the fat cigar

Too many distractions run through my brain
So many girls they start to look the same
Too many options no time to choose
Too many clothes, too many shoes

I've had the world I've done it upside down
I played the part and I've been the clown
Now it's my time, it's a brand new day
To be myself in a different way

I don't want to be a star
Just want my chevy and an old guitar
I don't want to be a star
I don't need the fat cigar

I got to meet all the wonderful people
I drank with Dylan boy did we act a fool
I got to meet all the fabulous people
I got high with Jagger, it was really cool

I don't want to be a star
Just want my chevy and an old guitar
I don't want to be a star
I don't need the fat cigar

Never, never, never
Never, never, never
Never, never, never
Never, never, never, hey

I say never no no
I say never no no no
I say never no no
I say never no no
I say never no no
I say never no no no no
Never, never

I don't want to be a star
Just want my chevy and an old guitar
I don't want to be a star
I don't need no fat cigar

Lady

I'm crazy for this little lady
I'm freaking for my little baby
'Cause she makes me feel good
She's so fine

Don't need all my other ladies
I'm beggin' for this little lady
'Cause I tell you she's cool
She's divine

I know she's a super lady
I'm weak and I've gone hazy yeah

I'm crazy for that lady
She's chic but she's not shady yeah
Sophisticated lady
And she makes me feel good
She's so fine

Never knew there was such a lady
That would make me want to straighten
Out my life at this time but I find
I'm thinkin' 'bout this pretty lady
I would love her good as my own baby (?)
'Cause you know she's no fool
She's refined

I know she's a super lady
I'm weak and I've gone hazy yeah

I'm crazy for that lady
She's chic but she's not shady yeah
Sophisticated lady
And she makes me feel good
She's so fine

Yeah
Don't you know she blows my mind
All the time
'Cause she makes me feel good
Like a real woman should
Yeah
She's so mine
Yeah

I'm weak and I've gone hazy yeah

I'm crazy for that lady
She's chic but she's not shady yeah
Sophisticated lady
And she makes me feel good
And she makes me feel good
And she makes me feel good
She's so fine

Yeah
Don't you know she blows my mind
All the time
And she makes me feel good
Like a real woman should
Yeah
All the time

Calling All Angels

I need you near to the ground
I miss you dearly
Can you hear me on your cloud?

All of my life
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love

Calling all angels
I need you near to the ground
I have been kneeling
And praying to hear a sound

All of my life
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love

All of my life
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love

Day by day
Through the years
Make my way

Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Through the years

Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Make my way

Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Day by day

California

I was converted to the other side
From the day I'd gotten there
I met a girl who took me on a ride
I was young I had no cares

When I moved to California
California

She played me records I had never heard
While we toked on purple hairs
Who, Zeppelin, Beatles
Kiss, The Rolling Stones
While we played guitars in air

When I moved to California
California
California
California love!

Venice Beach and P.O.P.
Station 26 was free

Jeff Ho and Horizons west
Dogtown Skates they were the best

Hang Ten, O.P. were the brands
Don't forget the two-tone Vans

I miss the Apple and my schoolyard boys
Nothing ever will compare
But now I skateboard
With my surfer girl
And we really are a pair

When I moved to California
California
California
California love!

Sistamamalover

I've gone from talkin' to walkin'
You touch me deep down inside
Oh can't you see that I'm fallin'
And I can no longer hide

You are my everything
My sistamamalover
You give me everything
I have no need to borrow

And when I think of you
You take away my sorrow
I'll always love you baby
Like there's no tomorrow

When I get up in the morning ( When I get up in the morning )
I feel like I'm so alive (Feel so alive)
With you it never gets boring (Hmm hmm that's right)
'Cause you always get me high (Get me high)
High

You are my everything
My sistamamalover
You give me everything
I have no need to borrow

And when I think of you
You take away my sorrow
I'll always love you baby
Like there's no tomorrow

I'll never go with another
'Cause baby you are so fly (You know you're fly)
Don't have to live undercover (That's right)
Because I don't have to lie (I don't have to lie baby)

You are my everything
My sistamamalover
You give me everything
I have no need to borrow

And when I think of you
You take away my sorrow
I'll always love you baby
Like there's no tomorrow

You are my everything (My everything!)
My sistamamalover (Sistermama...lover!)
You give me everything
I have no need to borrow

And when I think of you (And when I think of you)
You take away my sorrow
I'll always love you baby (I'll always love you)
Like there's no tomorrow (Like there's no tomorrow)

You are my everything
My sistamamalover
(Sistermama...lover!)
You give me everything
I have no need to borrow (Waouh !)
And when I think of you
You take away my sorrow (You take away my sorrow)
I'll always love you baby
Like there's no tomorrow (Like there's no to ... morrow)
You are my everything
My sistamamalover (Sistamamalover girl)
You give me everything

And when I think of you (And when I think of you)
You take away my sorrow (You take away my sorrow)
I'll always love you baby
Like there's no tomorrow

You are my everything
My sistamamalover

Where Are We Runnin'?

Fast lane
High speed
On the grind
24/7 (twenty-four-seven)
No time
Always runnin' here and there
Chasin' the money
So much jibber jabber's
Cloggin' up our soul

Where are we runnin'
We need some time to clear our heads
Where are we runnin'
Keep on working til we're dead
Where are we runnin'
Ooo wee ooo wee oo
Where are we runnin' now

In style
Profile
Got to buy
The new Cavalli
Keep the skin tight and the booty in the air
Don't stop the party
The road is paved but narrow
I hope we all get home

Where are we runnin'
We need some time to clear our heads
Where are we runnin'
Keep on working til we're dead
Where are we runnin'
Ooo wee ooo wee oo
Where are we runnin' now

Where you runnin' girl
I see you up there
Oh you up on that stage
You up there
I saw you

Where are we running
We need some time to clear our heads
Where are we runnin'
Keep on working til we're dead
Where are we runnin'
Ooo wee ooo wee oo
Where are we runnin' now

Baptized

I don't want to look around
And be turned to stone
All my darkest days awoken
I'm looking for a new way
Lead me to a place wide open

I need a love that takes me higher
So high I'm never coming down

I don't want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love
Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Let me be baptized in your love

Everybody's going down
They end up all alone
Far too many words unspoken
I know I gotta be there, I'm ready to be shown
The path of righteousness unbroken

I need a love that takes me higher
So high I'm never coming down

I don't want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love
Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Let me be baptized in your love

I would be a fool to let you go
With you I'm reborn
I'm no longer torn
Yeah
I refuse to lose my heart and soul
I have to be strong

I don't want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love
Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Let me be baptized in your love

Flash

The opportunity's takin' me over
I'm gonna put on a mask
I've got to be outrageous for my fans
I am not gonna waste this moment
Because these moments don't last
So tonight I will shake it and show my ass

Flash
Makes me feel good
Feel like a queen
And it gives me all the panache
That I want
That I need
And it'll all be over in a flash

Roll out the carpet give me some exposure
'Cause soon I'll be the past
But anyway I came here to tell you 'bout my plans
Well

Let's keep this moving while people still notice
'Cause my time's going fast
And when it's over, it's over
'Cause I've got no class
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Flash
Makes me feel good
Make me feel like a queen
And it gives me all the panache
That I want
And baby that I need
And it'll all be over in a flash

Flash
Makes me feel good
Make me feel like a queen
And it gives me all the panache
That I want
And baby that I need
And it'll all be over in a flash

Flash
Makes me feel good
Make me feel like a queen
And it gives me all the panache
That I want
And baby that I need
And it'll all be over in a flash

Flash
Makes me feel good
Make me feel like a queen
And it gives me all the panache
That I want
And baby that I need
And it'll all be over in a flash

What Did I Do With My Life?

Did I work on the battlefield?
Did I do what I thought was right?
Did I do all that I could do?
Did I put up a good fight?

Did I love all that I should?
To everyone in my sight?
What did I do with my life?

Did I exercise giving
And forgiveness with all my might?
Did I honor my freedom
And did I live in the light?

Did I cherish my moments?
Did I take a good enough bite?
What did I do with my life?

You can live any way you wanna
All you have to do is dance
Achieve anything you thought of
You just have to take the chance
You can fall in love with your life
'Cause that truly is romance
What did I do with my life?

Did I learn what I came to learn?
Did I listen with my heart?
Did I do what I came to do?
And how did I play the part?
Did I see all the beauty?
Because living is an art
What did I do with my life?

You can live any way you wanna
All you have to do is dance
Achieve anything you thought of
You just have to take the chance
Learn to love your life
'Cause that truly is romance
Oh what did I do with my life?

What did I do?
Say it again
What did I do
With my life?
Oh
What did I do?

What did I do?
With my life
What did I do?
What did I do?

Storm (feat. Jay-Z)

[Lenny Kravitz:]
My life has taken me beyond the planets and the stars
And you're the only one that could take me this far
I'll be forever searching for your love

I walked away but I was wrong
You're the one that keeps me strong
You're the fire that keeps me warm
How will I get through this storm?

At night
I pray before I sleep in hope of finding you
I've opened up my heart, I want you to come through
I close my eyes, I'm searching for your love

Oh, I walked away but I was wrong
You're the one that keeps me strong
You're the fire that keeps me warm
How will I get through this storm?

[Jay-Z:]
I got the bounce Lenny
Check me out
Brooklyn's bad boy back again
Feet hit the ground runnin' and my back's to the wind
Angels on my shoulders, head in the clouds
No, I'm not rappin', I'm just thinkin' real loud
My karma's my armor, my charm and wit
Is like a lethal bomb, I'm warm and shit
And I did bad for good but when you're trapped in the 'hood
You do worse for less, homie earth's a test
Only God can judge me
My heart ain't ugly
But the thoughts that I drop is heavy
Try budge me
Mama loved me, pop left me
Still the homies call me lucky lefty
I'm flashy and bentley
Deceptively smart
I make hustlin' heaven and pimpin' an art
Long as I know that I'm blessed
'Cause I'm loved in depth
I can walk through the water and not get wet
I'm that fresh

I walked away but I was wrong (I was wrong)
You're the one that keeps me strong (Keeps me strong)
You're the fire that keeps me warm (You're the fire that keeps me warm)
How will I get through this storm?

[Jay-Z:]
There you have it
Young hov
Lenny Kravitz
Not your average
Get your umbrella
It's raining macs and broads
All grace to God

I walked away but I was wrong (I walked away but I was wrong)
You're the one that keeps me strong (You're the one that keeps me strong)
You're the fire that keeps me warm (Keeps me warm)
How will I get through this storm? (Oh yeah yeah yeah)

The Other Side

Where do I live
Where is my wife?
I am alone
What's life worth living for?

Where am I going and what am I looking towards?
Where are my kids having their fights?
Calling my name so I can kiss their sores

I'm just a man on the run
It's a fucking bore
So father can you tell me again
Father can you tell me again
That I'm livin'
'Til I meet you on that day
On the other side

I'm internationally known
With platinum and gold
I've got millions sold
But after the party, I'm left standing in the cold
I would like to be a simple man
I'd buy me a farm and live off the land
Could a wife and some children be better than being in band?

So father can you tell me again
Father can you tell me again that I'm livin'
'Til I meet you on that day on the other side

On the other side

So father can you tell me again
Father can you tell me again that I'm livin'
'Til I meet you on that day on the other side

On the other side

Destiny

Sometimes I think I've lost my mind
I thought I left my past behind
I live my life and all I know is
Follow your dream and don't let go

No one can live for me
No one can see the things I see
I walk this road
No one can tell me how to be
It's my destiny

There is no right, there is no wrong
There is no place where I belong
I've done my time
I've held it strong and
My life is all about this song

No one can live for me
No one can see the things I see
I walk this road
No one can tell me how to be
It's my destiny

If I threw them all away
Would it change?
No
I would live my life again, rearranged
There's a magic in my heart
That I feel
Don't you know that God is love
And it's real

No one can live for me
No one can see the things I see
I walk this road
No one can tell me how to be
It's my destiny

My destiny
My destiny
My destiny
It's my destiny

Battlefield of Love

I am a soldier
A casualty of love
I've been from heaven
All the way to hell
I've had a journey
Much more than I can tell
I've got stories
Much more than I can sell

All this mass confusion
Causes chaos in my brain
I'm on the battlefield
The battlefield of love
With all of the illusions
I won't ever be the same
I'm on the battlefield
The battlefield of love

I'm a prisoner
A prisoner of love
I have been captured
And kept underground
I have been tortured
But I don't make a sound
'cause I know one day
One day I will be found

All this mass confusion
Causes chaos in my brain
I'm on the battlefield
The battlefield of love
With all of the illusions
I won't ever be the same
I'm on the battlefield
The battlefield of love

If I Could Fall in Love

When I was young
I fell in love
She was a goddess
With a world inside of her mind
When she moved on
Something went wrong
She took my power
And the love I had inside
Now that I found you
I don't know how to

If I could fall
In love again
I'd fall in love with you

If I could change
A grain of sand
Into a pearl I would

I pray in time
I'll come to find
Away to break through
And save this heart of mine
You've waited long
If you can't hold on
I wouldn't blame you
I don't think I'd be that strong
What am I to do
If I can't have you

If I could fall
In love again
I'd fall in love with you

If I could change
A grain of sand
Into a pearl I would

You love me so
Even though I don't know
How do you deal
With a man like me

If I could fall
In love again
I'd fall in love with you

If I could change
A grain of sand
Into a pearl I would
I would, I would, I would

Yesterday Is Gone

I'm sorry your situation
Has let you down
I know that things did not go as planned
'cause in this time you're feeling alone and sad
This is what you must understand

There is a way
Yesterday is gone
It's a new day
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
My dear kay

You can't get nowhere
Staying at home and crying
You can't go on living in the past
The one thing constant is that there is always change

There is a way
Yesterday is gone
It's a new day
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
My dear kay

Stillness of Heart

I'm out here on the street
There's no one left to meet
The things that were so sweet
No longer move my feet
But I keep trying
I keep on trying

All that I want is
Stillness of heart
So I can start
To find my way
Out of the dark
And into your heart

I got more than I can eat
A life that can't be beat
Yet still I feel this heat
I'm feeling incomplete
What am I buying?
My soul is crying

All that I want is
Stillness of heart
So I can start
To find my way
Out of the dark
And into your heart

Where's the love?
What is this world we live in?
Where's the love ?
We've got to keep on giving
Where's the love ?
What happened to forgiving ?
Anyone ?

All that I want is
Stillness of heart
So I can start
To find my way
Out of the dark
And into your heart

Believe in Me

Where's the love we had?
When do it go bad?
Or am I just insecure?
I give all I can
Baby I'm your man
Tell me what were in this for
Remind me

Chorus
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as if I'm through
Please believe in me
'cause what I need is for you
To believe in me

Coutless sleepless nights
Never ending fights
I'm trying to make your dreams come true
I will sacrifice
To find paradise
But I need to know that you're
Behind me

Chorus
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as if I'm through
Please believe in me
'cause what I need is for you
To believe in me

Pay to Play

She said I want the money
I know you want it honey
Your skies will not be sunny
If you don't bring it home to me
Don't want to hear your crying
'Cause baby I'm not trying
To wait for your dreams to fly in
Then she smiled and said to me

Well I don't believe in what you do
And I don't believe in what you say
I don't believe in you
You've got to pay the price
If you want to play

Well I don't believe in what you do
And I don't believe in what you say
I don't believe in you
You've got to pay the price
If you want to play

You told me that you loved me
Was it just a charade?
Were you not thinking of me?
When are we going to get paid?
I have been waiting all the time
And I'm about to fade
You better make that money
Do you hear what I am saying?

Well I don't believe in what you do
And I don't believe in what you say
I don't believe in you
You've got to pay the price
If you want to play

Well I don't believe in what you do
And I don't believe in what you say
I don't believe in you
You've got to pay the price
If you want to play

A Million Miles Away

You think I'm cool
But I am not
You think that I am nonchalant
You think I'm hard
That I lay the part
Don't be fooled
You are my heart
Oh babe I'm just so tired of being on the run

Babe when I can't feel your touch
And we've lost another day
Seems like a million miles away
I wander in the dark
Looking for somewhere to stay
Seems like I'm a million miles away

Without love what have we got
All these things don't mean a lot
Let's disregard the past and start
A new fire
From this old spark
Let's take this love
And make it hotter than the sun

Babe when I can't feel your touch
And we've lost another day
Seems like a million miles away
I wander in the dark
Looking for somewhere to stay
Seems like I'm a million miles away

What am I looking for ?
What am I dreaming of ?
When you are the woman that I really love

Babe when I can't feel your touch
And we've lost another day
Seems like a million miles away
I wander in the dark
Looking for somewhere to stay
Seems like I'm a million miles away

God Save Us All

We need a leader
We can't seem to help ourselves
Fighting and lying
We can't seem to let it go
We live each day
On a small piece of borrowed time
Why aren't we trying
To enjoy this crazy ride
What are we gonna do about it ?

God save us all
God save us all
God save us all
If we really try
Maybe we can make it

We need a teacher
We must learn to see the light
Let's get together
This world needs us to do right
There's too much poverty, sickness
There's pain and strife
Why aren't we trying
To improve this thing called life
What are we gonna do about it ?

God save us all
God save us all
God save us all
If we really try
Maybe we can make it

You Were in My Heart

I want to be a better man
Lord knows that I'm trying
I want to keep the master's plan
But sometimes things get wild
Demons sleep with me in bed
I can feel their fire
When darkness gets around my head
Sometimes I go blind

But you were in my heart
While the evil eye was searching out was staring at me
But you were in my heart
While the maids of doom, were reaching out and tempting me

The world can give you everything
Anything you want
Money, fame
And all it brings
Whatever turns you on
But your bloods running through my veins
And I am standing tall
But even though you took my place
You are somehow bound to fall

But you were in my heart
While the evil eye was searching out was staring at me
But you were in my heart
While the maids of doom, were reaching out and tempting me

Bank Robber Man

I was walking down the street today
Just as somebody blew the doors off of the b of a
Just then I head them call my name
As I was thrown against the car
I was being framed

All units we've got our man
We've got the bank robber man
We don't need no reason
You're going in the can
You look like the bank robber man
I think you misunderstand
Do you think that I am the one that did it
Just because I'm tan?
Just then the officer at hand said
I don't give a damn that you are in a rock and roll band

All units we've got our man
We've got the bank robber man
We don't need no reason
You're going in the can
You look like the bank robber man

Just tell me what's going on ?
Can you tell me what I did wrong ?
Does busting me make you feel strong ?
Make you feel strong

All units we've got our man
We've got the bank robber man
We don't need no reason
You're going in the can
You look like the bank robber man

Are You Gonna Go My Way

I was born long ago
I am the chosen I'm the one
I have come to save the day
And I won't leave until I'm done
So that's why you've got to try

And I won't stop until I'm done

But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way ?
And I got to got to know

This we must leave and get undone
We must engage and rearrange
And turn this planet back to one
So tell me why we got to die
And kill each other one by one
We've got to love and rub-a-dub
We've got to dance and be in love

But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way ?
And I got to got to know

Are you gonna go my way ?
'cause baby I got to know, yeah

Rock And Roll Is Dead

Ooohoooh yeah
You think you're on top of the world
But you know it's really over
Runnin' round with diamond rings
And coke spoons that are overflowin'
Rock and roll is dead
But all the money in the world
Can't buy you from the place you're going to
Ooohoooh yeah

Rock and roll is dead x3

You can't even sing or play an instrument
So you just scream instead
Oh yeah
You're living for an image
So you got five hundred women in your bed
Oh yeah
Rock and roll is dead
But it's real hard to be yourself
When you're living with those demons in your head
Ooohoooh yeah

Rock and roll is dead x3

Rock and roll is dead x7

Again

I've been searching for you
I heard a cry within my soul
I never had a yearning quite like this before
Now that you are walking right through my door
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
A sacred gift of heaven
For better worse wherever
And I would never let somebody break you down
Or take your crown, never
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I've searched through time, I've always known
That you where there, upon your throne
A lonely queen, without her king
I've longed for you, my love forever
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

It Ain't Over Till It's Over

It ain't over 'til it's over

Here we are still together
We are one
So much time wasted
Playing games with love

So many tears I've cried
So much pain iside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'till it's over

How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fear
Kept me wondering
If I'd always be in love

So many tears I've cried
So much pain iside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'till it's over

So many tears I've cried
So much pain iside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'till it's over

Can't Get You Off My Mind

Life is just a lonely highway
I'm out here on the open road
I'm old enough to see behind me
But young enough to feel my soul
I don't wanna lose you baby
And I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna live my days without you
But for now I'll have to be without you

*chorus*
I've got a pocket full of money
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But then I think of loving
And I just can't get you off of my mind

Babe can't you see
That this is killing me
I don't want to push you baby
And I don't want you to be told
It's just that I can't breathe without
I feel like I'm gonna lose control
(chorus)
What are the rules and reasons and the dos and don'ts
Tell me baby tell me baby
What do you feel inside
(chorus)

Mr. Cab Driver

Mr cab driver won't you stop to let me in
Mr cab driver don't like my kind of skin

Mr cab driver thinks we're all one sixty five'ers
Mr cab driver fuck you I'm a survivor
Oh yeah, one more time, ahah

Let me in

Mr cab driver, mr cab driver

Take Time

You can have it if you really want
You can grasp it if you have the thought
Feel your power that is deep within
Are you ready ?
On your mark begin

We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love

Do you feel your life's a big mistake ?
Don't you hate the way it's all so fake ?
All I wanna do is just be real
And get off of the spinning wheel

All they sell us is a pack of lies
And we're buying one in every size
Can't you see it in the children's eyes ?
It's about to get wild

It's Your Life

They say that our love is all wrong
And that we should not carry on
But I say they're wrong
I want you so bad

Oh we've been together for so long
How could they think we don't belong ?
But they'll never know what you and I have

Call your mama

Call the preacher
Hold on hold on

All I want to do is take it all the way with you

All I want to do is take it all the way with you
It's your life, it's your life, it's your life

They say that we don't have a chance
We're victims of unjust romance
But they could'nt see the truth in their hands

We don't have to live like they do
We'll run away if we have to
And we'll start a life that's shining and new
That's shining and new

Call your mama
Call your papa
Go on and call the preacher
Hold on hold on

Call your mama

Can We Find A Reason

Is there anyone out there
Willing to try ?
Or are we satisfied with just getting by ?

We've hurt mother nature
Can't you see her she's crying
We've robbed and we've raped her and taken her child

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season ?

We're fighting more battles
Everyday we're alive
We should be rejoicing
But instead we cry

This world's so polluted
You would think we were blind
We poison our children
Before they're defined

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season ? yeah

Excuse me for saying
'Cause I've never been shy
But if we don't stop this
We sho'nuff goin' die

Yes I hope we can make it
'Cause this river's run dry
Now our only battle
Will be to survive, hey

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
Come on and think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season ?
Yeah it's the new millennium

Yeah yeah yeah
Can we find a reason
To live another season ?

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
To live another season ?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...
It's the new millennium
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...
Can we find a reason
To live another season ?

Rock and Roll is Dead

You think you're on top of the world
But you know it's really over
Runnin' round with diamond rings
And coke spoons that are overflowin
Rock and Roll is Dead
But all the money in the world
Can't buy you from the place you're going to
Rock and Roll is Dead (x3)
You can't even sing or play an instrument
So you just scream instead
You're living for an image
So you got five hundred women in your bed
Rock and Roll is Dead
But it's real hard to be yourself
When you're living with those demons
In your head
Rock and Roll is Dead (x3)

Circus

One day while I was searchin
For what I'll never find
She walked into my story
Said she could change my mind
This is the final offer
She said to make it quick
Don't lose out on this wonder
So I had to place my bet
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
Never know which way to go
It might not be right
So you'd better be strong
What kind of circus is this
What kind of fools are we
when is the final curtain
What can I do to set me free
Welcome to the real world
You better be strong
Never know which way to go
It might end up wrong
so you'd better be strong
Too many games we have to play
They always change the rules
You and me just try to get along
What can I do
I've got to be strong
She walked into my daydream
She told me how it had to be
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
Never know which way to go
It might not be right
Welcome to the real world
You got to be strong
Never know which way to go
It might end up wrong
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
It might end up wrong
So you better be strong
You got to be strong
You better be strong

Beyond the Seventh Sky

Beyond the 7th sky
There's a room where we are with God
Beyond the sun and moon
Where the angels will be our guards
Where the weather doesn't change
Everyday is summer
As the sands are numbered
Instead of cannonball grey
Do you think it's kinda strange
Or can we be lovers
as the spirit covers our electrified rage
Hold me mama
And we'll fly across the sea
Way beyond the moon and stars and sky
I'm talkin about you and God and I
Now that the time is near
I'm ready I have no fear
I know you're the one my dear
The stars will come out tonite
In time for our sacred flight
Together we'll be for life
And I will burn in your flame
Kiss me baby
Take my hand and come with me
I'm talkin' about the moon and stars and sky
I'm talkin' about you and God and I
Let's take it to the place where life was formed
And to the place where Jesus Christ was born

Tunnel Vision

All I want
Is all you got
Make me happy baby
And I'll make it hot
I don't need no doctor
To tell me what to do
'Cause I know I'm goin'
Straight ahead for you

*chorus*
I've got that tunnel vision goin' through my head
I can't help myself all I see is red
Tunnel vision goin' through my head
Lay me down inside your flying bed

All that's yours
And all that's mine
We'll put together baby
And we can combine
We don't need no lawyer
Let's not make this long
We just need a love thing
That's beautiful and strong
(chorus x2)
Make it funky now

Can't Get You Off My Mind

Life is just a lonely highway
I'm out here on the open road
I'm old enough to see behind me
But young enough to feel my soul
I don't wanna lose you baby
And I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna live my days without you
But for now I'll have to be without you

*chorus*
I've got a pocket full of money
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But then I think of loving
And I just can't get you off of my mind

Babe can't you see
That this is killing me
I don't want to push you baby
And I don't want you to be told
It's just that I can't breathe without
I feel like I'm gonna lose control
(chorus)
What are the rules and reasons and the dos and don'ts
Tell me baby tell me baby
What do you feel inside
(chorus)

Magdalene

She was only seventeen
In her prime of life she was lean
And her only dream was to be on the silver screen
She hailed from north of Baltimore
Her mama says she'd end up a whore
And she spent all of her dough on the movie show

*chorus*
She's all go go go yeah yeah
She wears her pants on her hips too low
She learned it all in magazines
She's Magdalene
Ain't it funny how the sun shines

She was only seventeen
She packed her bags and went to the scene
She said I'm gonna take on this town and I'm gonna be
the queen
She mingled like she'd been there before
She worked it till they hollered for more
Now everybody knows
(chorus)

God Is Love

God is love
Through all your trials and tribulations
God is love
He'll get you through all situations
God is love
And if you are ready he always is
ready for you

*chorus*
God loves everyone
That's why he gave his son, oh yeah
And you should feel his pain
Yet he gave us everything

God is love
He'll get you through your pain and sorrow
God is love
He's coming back maybe tomorrow
God is love
And if you are ready he's gonna be
ready for you
(chorus)
And though much time has passed
His words and promises always last
And I am here to say
That he loves each one of us in every way
God is love
He makes the rain that makes the flowers
God is love
And so amazing are his powers
God is love
And if you are ready he always is
ready for you
(chorus)

Thin Ice

You must be walking
On shaky ground
You're always jumping
At every sound
You've been a hustler for all your days
A real motherfucker in every way
When you're a loser you're all alone
So you made up for everything
That you'd though you lost
But you paid a cost
Hey...

*chorus*
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall

You're always running with every game
First you're pushing coke and then you're hoing dames
You say you acn't give nothing better back
Than you got back at home
Well I tell you that's bullshit brother
And that's a heavy load
It's an illusion when you think you're the boss
Oh no no no
Cause you really ain't got a thing
But the crumbs you're tossed
But don't you feel the frost
Hey...
(chorus)

Don't Go and Put a Bullet in Your Head

Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
I'm gonna get it
But workin' nine to five just doesn't let it
I feel I'm wastin' time and I regret it
Can't even feed my wife and my kids
Oh I'm longing to find it
A taste of the sweeter life oh my
Only it takes a little time
No don't do it
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Oh my oh my
Ain't got no credit
Can't even pay my rent
Where will I get it
There's a liquor store right down the
block I'll get it
Can't even feed the pain in my heart
Oh I'm longing to find
A piece of the bigger pie oh my
Only it takes alittle tme
No don't do it
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Oh my oh my
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head

In My Life Today

When my memory starts to wander
I sit back and I ponder
How the whole worlds gone asunder
I feel the rain and I hear the thunder
I was bare and I was lost
But you were there and I was born
You are the force and strength
In my life today
And oh how I thank you father
For giving us all over and under
You're a mystery you're a wonder
I always knew since I was younger
I think about the way that you make it right
So full of love and sacrifice
I say yeah yeah yeah...
BUt you were right and I was wrong
Cause I was weak and you were strong
You are the force and strength
In my life today
And now that the darkness has faded
I'm no longer blinded I can see
And I don't have to wait no longer
Cause it's all about being free
Every day every way
I'm gonna get myself together
Every day any way
The Resurrection

If you could feel what I could feel
Well then you'd know his love is real
If you could hear what I could hear
Well then you'd kbnow the king is near
The resurrection is here to stay
And he's coming back again
Look what he's done to me
Now I am living in another space and time
He walked on the righteous path
To keep us from Satan's wrath
We are not alone
And we're going home
The resurrection is here to stay
And he's coming back again
The resurrection is here to say
That he's coming back again
To reclaim all his souls and set us free
The resurrection is here to say
That he is coming back again
To reclaim all his souls

When The Morning Turns To Night

little girl with heroin so blue
you've got to find the future in you
your scepters and needles will put you away
forever and a day

your future will haunt you before you get there
imagine the planet with no air
all mute no light no sun only light
as far away as neverland

as the sky comes tumbling down to the head
and the valleys are all filed up with dirt
as many people as there are sands in the sea
will die the morning after

so little girl with your heroin so blue
i guess our future is all up to you
through the battle sequence you must fight
'til the morning turns to night

so imagine our world with no air
just follow the son, he'll take you where
the night and the seas are all full of light
'til the morning turns to night

'til the morning turns to night

What The Fuck Are We Saying ?

will we ever understand ?
or is teh fate of man at hand ?
will we live or shall we die ?
how will we ever know if we never try ?
the government's the devil's hands
it's a lie and it's a scam
they wind us up, put us down and watch us go
and if you close your eyes
there's a big surprise

what the fuck are we saying ?
do we feel what we dream about ?
we've got to keep on praying
and one day we'll see the light

i've been lost in the name of love
and we kill our brothers daily in the name of god
we'd better chill before we take on some tribulation
and if we realized
then we'd make a little love now sing

what the fuck are we saying ?
do we believe what wee read about ?
we've got to keep on praying
and one day we'll see the light

what the fuck are we saying ?
do we feel what we dream about ?
we've got to keep on praying
and one day we'll see the light

Butterfly

you are the most beautiful thing
i've ever seen
you shine just like sunlight rays
on a winter snow
i just had to tell you so
your eyes sparkle as the stars
like the moon the glow
your smile could light the world on fire
or did you know ?

your mind's full of everything that
i want to know
i just had to let you know
i just had to tell you so
you're my butterfly
fly high
fly fly fly

Let Love Rule [1989]

Sittin' on Top of the World

Remember the times we used to play
We'd sing and we'd dance all damn day
But all I do is sing the blues
But have I forsaken you by telling you
What you must do
And all I do is sing the blues
But I would never lie, let things go by
Leave you in a road to die
I would never ever say good bye

Never gonna say good bye
Never gonna say good bye

Remember the times that we
Used to share
You got to remember the times
That we used to share
That we used to share

But the only way for you to survive
Is to open your heart it will guide
You wanna stay in this world of music and life
You got to turn around
And spread a little love and get high

Let Love Rule

Love is gentle as a rose
And love can conquer any war
It's time to take a stand
Brothers and sisters join hands

We got to let love rule
Let love rule

We got to let love rule
Let love rule

Love transcends all space and time
And love can make a little child smile
Can't you see this won't go wrong
But we got to be strong
We can't do it alone

We got to let love rule
Let love rule

We got to let love rule
Let love rule

Freedom Train

It's on the freedom train
Come on dance on the freedom train
My Precious Love

You came to me like a dream
How would I know it was a scheme
To get me to you

Your eyes burned like fire
Through my heart
Although we were life times apart

Making mistakes was my game
Your life I tried to rearrange
But now I know a better way

My precious love

Now you're a woman
You've got a child
And those days of being wild
Are gone with the past

But now baby you still ain't got no home
All those endless nights you've had to roam
But I know a better way

My precious love

I Build This Garden For Us

In this garden
This lovely garden
I build a temple of love
Walk with the Father
Won't be a bother
To touch the Earth as it was

We'll farm the land each day
And in the sunshine we will play
Glory glory for the day He came
Our tears had gone away
We'll make love in the shade
And in the ocean we will bathe
Little fishies in the sea
Say hooray

I build this garden for us

In this garden
Our children will grow
Darling this is a must
We'll be so happy
Our little family
So full of love and trust

And darling when we're old
We'll close the gates and lock the door
Our love will never fade away
When it's pure it's forever last
And darling when you're cold
I'll hold you tight and keep you warm
Little darlin' gonna make it through the storm
You'll never be alone

I build this garden for us

In this garden
They'll be no war
No racial prejudice
You'll be my brother
Of any color
You'll just be okay with us
We'll love each day in peace
In hope that we will one day reach
The rest of the world
When they are ready to be teached
The kingdom will come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in heaven

I build this garden
I build this garden for us

I build this garden for us

Fear

I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of children who must oblige
To tainted dreams and polluted seas
The missing moon and melting trees
A mist of doom and clouds of pain
Toxic waste and acid rain
The passing of our ignorance
A lifetime spent in abstinence

Living in fear
Living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
Living in fear
Living in fear

Conditioning to hate and them to blame
Their search for God is just the same
Machines for hearts, how warped a view
Forgetting that they're human too
Waiting like a branded steer
Who first will launch the burning spear
When every day may be your last
You think we'd learn from our past

Living in fear
Living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
Living in fear
Living in fear

I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of so many lives denied
More wounded soldiers, another burning flag
And rows and rows of body bags
No time for tears as the night falls cold
The days survivors crawl back in their holes
As for the rest they're shipped back home
Home to the rows of white tomb stones

Living in fear
Living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
Living in fear
Living in fear

Does Anybody Out There Even Care

The dream is lost
Don't let it slip away
Or bloody days won't be far away
Cause when there's no more sin
There's no where you can run

Does anybody know how many lives we've lost
Can anybody ever pay the cost
What will it take for us to join in peace my friends
Does anybody out there even care

Wake up world before it's too late
It's time for love to conquer hate
And when that battle's won
We all can live as one

Does anybody know how many lives we've lost
Can anybody ever pay the cost
What will it take for us to join in peace my friends
Does anybody out there even care

Riots in the streets, men dressed in white sheets
Is that what we want
A little boy hanging from a tree and a burning cross
If we can learn that we're one we can overcome
Before this takes us all
We'd better catch ourselves before we fall

Does anybody know how many lives we've lost
Can anybody ever pay the cost
What will it take for us to join in peace my friends
Does anybody out there even care

Mr. Cab Driver

Mr. Cab Driver won't you stop to let me in
Mr. Cab Driver don't you like my kind of skin
Mr. Cab Driver you're never gonna win

Mr. Cab Driver won't stop to pick me up
Mr. Cab Driver I might need some help
Mr. Cab Driver only thinks about himself

Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver

Mr. Cab Driver don't like to way I look
He don't like dreads he thinks we're all crooks
Mr. Cab Driver reads too many story books

Mr. Cab Driver pass me up with eyes of fire
Mr. Cab Driver thinks we're all 165'ers
Mr. Cab Driver fuck you I'm a survivor

Let me in

Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver

Rosemary

Little Mary was five years old
Her parents left her, she was out in the cold
Alone to live and find her way
In this great world of heartache and pain

Eyes of brown, matted locks of gold
Her flowered dress is tattered and soiled
Tear stained cheeks, her feet cold and bare
Who could have left a child so rare

Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul
Stay down on your knees
I'm beggin you please
Hold onto the beads at your heart

A burning heart and tired eyes
Howling winds for lullabys
No one there to soothe her fright
Nowhere to turn but the inward light
Because life is for believing
That your heart can turn to gold
All you need is Christ to receive it
There's eternal life for every soul

Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul
Stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please
Hold onto the beads at your heart

He loves you He needs you He wants you
So don't let Him down

Be

Lord what's the matter
Am I lost
This life's a disaster, what is the cause
Am I a junkie, what is my fate
Or am I a flunkie who doesn't relate
Or am I a child so full of hate

Am I a doctor or even a priest
Or am I a rapist who needs a release
A psychotic prancer
Times Square dancer
The mind can see as long as you'll be
For real with yourself
And you'll forever be

Lord what's the matter am I insane
This life's an illusion that's all it remains
Are you listening, are you boss
Am I gonna make it up on that cross
Believe in Your name and
You'll forever be

Blues For Sister Someone

I know a girl who gets off
By sticking needles in her vein
Oh Lord what a shame
She's got no money so she turns tricks
And plays dirty games
Oh Lord spare her pain
What she says she do to you
You'd have to be insane
The bathroom stall, her bedroom
The one that's always engaged
She sleeps and eats with the plague
She's got a baby in her belly
But she just don't care
What will be come of the pair
Oh Lord what can she do
To get the shit out of her hair
To get the shit out of her hair
Blues for sister someone
Oh Lord

Empty Hands

He rode in town on a white horse
With nothing in his hands
He came to gather his people
And take them to his promised land
When he came he knew there would be bloodshed
But still no violence made his places
He came to fight in a battle
With no guns or money
But with his empty hands

With his empty hands

They said hey boy what you lookin' at
As they eyed his dreaded mane
He said my father has sent me
I've come back to reclaim
The children whose hearts
Were so whole and pure
Now it's you who'll die in pain
So they lynched the man
Who fooled the word
And all the children gathered
In his empty hands
In his empty hands

Flower Child

Dressed in purple velvets
With a flower in her hair
Feel her gentle spirit
As the champa fills the air
She wears rubys on her fingers
Tiny bells upon her toes
She's the finest thing
I've ever seen
Love that ring inside her nose

Flower Child yeah
Flower Child yeah

She's a psychedelic princess
On a magic carpet ride
And where her trip will carry you
Is somewhere you can't find
She's on a plane of higher consciousness
Meditation is the key
She's got her shit together
Cause her soul and mind are free

Flower Child yeah
Flower Child yeah

She's a child of Martin Luther
As a freedom fighter she
Speaks of liberation on the land
And on the sea
Her eyes are made of sunshine
And her lips are jelly sweet

Flower Child yeah
Flower Child yeah
