1. WHO DO YOU LOVE (EUGENE MCDANIEL COVER)

I walk 47 miles of barbed-wire
Wear a cobra snake for a neck-tie
Got a brand new house built on a hill
Made out a rattle snake hide
I got a great big chimney way on the top
Made out of human skulls
So come on over here, you cute little thing
And tell me now, who do you love
Who do you love, who do you love

A voodoo man, he took me by the hand
He said: woo baby, I can understand
Crushed a bone on a ju-ju stone
Rolled his eyes and he cast a spell
Said: who do you love
Who do you love, who do you love, who do you love

The light was black and the night was blue
And down the alley I crept on through
A shot of a pistol, somebody screamed
You should a heard just what I seen
Who do you love, who do you love
Who do you love, who do you love

I got a tombstone head and a graveyard mind
I'm just twenty-two and I ain't stole a dime
Got the eyes of a wolf, and a gator smile
I lived long enough, and I don't mind dyin'
Who do you love, who do you love
Who do you love, who do you love


2. BUDDY JOE

Let me tell you about Buddy Joe
When he came down from Mexico
With his pockets full of gold
With his pockets full of gold

Have you something to declare
Are you sure there's nothing there
'Cos if there is, don't say
You've not been told

Oh, Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
Well, I don't really know

Well Buddy Joe searched all his life
Through Mexico, all the riversides
Not for the money, but for the gold
He needs to hold

Well Buddy Joe was proud as he was
Could not stand all the fuss
When they got to all his gold
He was ready to go

Oh, Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
I don't really know

Well you'll understand he didn't stand a chance
Everybody was shouting commands
When Buddy Joe split in a hurry
He was ready to be buried

Oh Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
I don't really know


3. SHE FLIES ON STRANGE WINGS

Lonely is the night without you
Just as lonely as the shepherd without sheep
And where flies the falcon,
In the high sweet air
Without hunting this Sprane Valleys deer

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings

She takes off when she desires
Silence grows on her lips
She can bring you so much higher
She spreads love on all her trips, yeah

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings

Woke up this morning
And this feeling came to my head
To fly with her from sky to sky
'Cause my mind seemed to be dead
So I floated up towards her
On my mutilated wings
But all the blackness sings against me now
It's the lady of the strange wings

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange....


4. QUIET EYES

Tony, my head is on a pillow
Clock strikes, it's the count of four
Four hours of tossin' and turnin'
In a big brass bed
I've tried all the tricks in the book now
But I just can't sleep no more
Tony, what's happenin' to me
I'm tired and I'm cold
Somehow I'm imagining things
Movin' in the shadow
And my face is a painting crying
In the heat of the sun

Let the world outside, pay it's dues
I'll never know why, no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered
Tony, it's lookin' into your
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence, and the night lasted seven years

Meanwhile I'm counting all the hours
And I've counted all the days
On the pages of a calendar
And I threw it all away
Tony, I'm tryin' to make some sense babe
I'm always tryin' to get through to you
Maybe you're the last one to notice
How much I've been lovin' you

Let the world outside, pay it's dues
I'll never know why, no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered
Tony, it's lookin' into your
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence, and the night lasted seven years


5. GOING TO THE RUN

I could bet on new-years eve
He'd call me up at night
From the other side of the world
Ed was always there alright
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He ride a bike instead of a car
I wanna be his friend

Dancing in the living room
With the ladies so nice
Like a child with a wisdom tooth
He's just a friend of mine
Ed's got the rings and the colors
Ed's got the wind in his hair
He goes a riding with the brothers
He's got a fist in the air

Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel

One summer at the festival
Holding on real tight
On the back of a Harley
He took me for a ride in the sky
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He'd ride a bike instead of a car
I'll always be his friend

Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
And his wings started to shine so bright
Like a fire in the night
Going to the run, forever Angel

Going to the run, run Angel
Forever going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel


6. BOMBAY

Bombay seems lost in dreams
When the pipes let off steam
In a backroom, somewhere, anywhere in L.A.
Next payday comes, I'll be gone
By boats and planes, it's pre-arranged
You can't catch me, I'm on my way back to Bombay

Bombay, Bombay, Bombay, Bombay
Ain't gonna leave no trace
Gonna wash away my face
In the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle
I'm gonna stay in Bombay

I'm gonna trade my past
For a new life at last
Sit back and have another blast
If I die, Kamasutra's the reason why
Kama, kama, kama, kamasutra,
Kama, kama, I surrender

Bombay, Bombay, Bombay, Bombay
Ain't gonna leave no trace
Gonna wash away my face
In the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle
I'm gonna stay in Bombay

Bombay, Bombay....


7. BURNING STUNTMAN

Specialize in danger, I'm from Niagara Falls
And now I sit here waitin'
Like an idiot for your call
Words cannot explain
That rattlesnake in my bones
Guess it's time to face the truth
I stand here licked by love
And in the name of love

I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman

I fry exposed to fire of course
Choke up while I'm breathin' smoke
Come on quench the fire inside my soul
I wanna go go go

Slumberin' volcano, a bout to explode
Puttin' on a smile and then
You're takin' of your clothes
Words cannot explain
My heart's red pepper blue
And my blood goes boilin'
Every time I look at you
I'm in danger, how about you

I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman

You fry exposed to fire of course
Like a flame whisperin' to a moth
Come on quench the fire inside my heart

I wanna go go go
Like a burning stuntman
Like a burning stuntman.....


8. MOOD INDIGO

A taste of breath, a kiss sweeter than honey
Your eyes a misty dream, a million miles away
And in my ear, you whisper my name
Just like in some old news flash
From light years ago

Van Dyke's on the slide trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the Ivory Coast
Start singin' my favorite song
And it happen' to be mood indigo

Mood indigo I just go weak,
When I hear Mood indigo
Could last for weeks,
Until I decide to wake up
Before I break up

Holdin' on to my heart,
Smokin' them down hills
In a room number thirteen,
Tryin' to stretch my luck again
Down the corridor, y
Our footsteps echo against the wall
My date with mystery,
My girl from Sin City
Tonight I'm gonna sacrifice,
For the first time in my life
Make it all come back to me,
Like an old forgotten dream


9. WHERE WILL I BE

Where will I be
When the sun won't shine anymore
Where will I be
When the moon won't smile anymore
Where will I be, where will I be

Maybe there's a place to hide from the frost
A place where life can get lost
Until then the end is near
And the skies will never be clear

Where will I be
When the sun ain't shining
Where will I be
When the moon ain't smiling
Where will I be

Where will I be
When the children stop crying
Where will I be
When the sun comes near flying

Faster than a bird
Is this again the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm

Where will I be
When the sun is burning
Where will I be
When man is yearning, for deliverance
Now, where will I be

Where will I be
When the children stop crying
Where will I be
When the sun comes near flying
Faster than a bird
Is this again the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm
Where will I be
When the sun ain't shining
Where will I be
When the moon ain't smiling
Where will I be

Where will I be
When the sun is burning
Where will I be
When man is yearning, for deliverance
Where will I be


10. THIS WHEEL'S ON FIRE (BOB DYLAN COVER)

If your memory serves you well
We were gonna meet again and wait
So I'm goin' to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
I was goin' to confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
And you knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well

Wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get you your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode


11. JOHNNY MAKE BELIEVE

Waitress, more wine
We celebrate, the life and times of Johnny Make Believe
He was the greatest liar, of all mankind
The biggest drunk, you ever saw alive
He was a devil, undisguised
He will be sorely missed tonight

And the next day, will never be the same
Without the beautiful Johnny Make Believe

So let's get high, laugh till we cry
Always remember, his last words
"Farewell cruel world, all you pretty girls,
Don't send me flowers, hold me in your dreams"
And then the spirit in the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride
Come on waitress, pour us more wine
To drown our grief
For Johnny Make Believe

He tattooed my heart, branded my soul
He said: Go for true love, not for fool's gold

So let's get high, laugh till we cry
Always remember, his last words
"Farewell cruel world, all you pretty girls
Don't send me flowers, hold me in your dreams"
And then the spirit in the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride
Come on waitress, pour us more wine
To drown our grief
For Johnny Make Believe

La, la, la, lala, la, la, la, la....


12. WHEN THE LADY SMILES

When the lady smiles,
You know it drives me wild
Her lips are warm and resourceful
When her fingertips,
Go drawing circles in the night
Then the mood is soft and sensual, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
It's the answer to all my dreams
Every time it feels like the earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin',
I hear it shatter,
Maybe it's raining, faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm a bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at me
And I'm feelin' proud

When the lady smiles,
She holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact,
She could always let me down
But when the lady smiles,
I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact,
I don't resist at all
'Cos I'm walking on clouds
And she is leadin' the way

My friends tell me,
She's the beast inside your paradise
I guess you've heard it all before
A fallen angel,
That has got you hypnotized
And that always needs some more, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
She's done nothin' to mislead me
'Cos every time we meet,
The earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin'
I hear it shatter , maybe it's rainin'
Faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at mea
Nd I'm feeling proud

When the lady smiles,
She holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles,
I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact,
I don't resist at all
'Cos we're walkin' on clouds
And she is leadin' the way

Oh no, oh no, oh nooooo....


13. THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

All set, court's in session
This judge, got no compassion
Witness, show me your right hand
I swear, nothing but the truth now

I was alright till she came along
I was alright, then it all went wrong

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh,oh
It was the act of a man possessed, now
The devil made me do it, oh, oh ,oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent

D.A.'s, got a mighty strong case
Lawman, saw the whole thing
Confess, yeah I stole that fur coat
Confess, yeah I stole a BMW
Confess, I was only trying, to keep my baby satisfied
Bullshit, that's the truth now
Bullshit, so help me God

I was alright till she came along
I was alright, then it all went wrong

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh,oh
It was an act of a man possessed, now
The devil made me do it , oh, oh, oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent

You should have seen her slide out of her negligee
Her skin was hot, touch intoxicating
And if you were me , you would have done the same
So spare me the gutter, save me from the ball and chain

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh, oh
It was an act of a man possessed now
The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent
