1. KILL ME (CE SOIR)

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star
Sing your song,
You can't go wrong
Attempted his business adviser
No need for alarm
You'll come to no harm
He didn't mention the sniper

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star

The news is read, the meaning spread
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
Come on maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie, bonne nuit

Remember that song called "Kill Me"
A lecture on political chicanery
Of people's rape
Recorded on tape
Bought shame to the presidency

Tonight, tonight
One more point for human right
Remember that song "Kill Me"
Once used by a man from Galilee
He had nothin' to lose
He was king of the Jews
Secured his place in history

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un provocateur
The news is read, the voice is spread
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
Come on maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie
Vick played the part,
With all his heart
He wasn't prepared for the shock
When howling lead
Bit into his head
A new martyr for the book of rock

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star


2. SLEEPWALKIN'

Last night's blind date
Hit me like a hand grenade
Blew holes in my soul
I'm on a love crusade

Wore my loves like a pair of gloves
But this time I'm going straight'
Cause I never felt this strange
I'm supposed to be skilled at the game
So once again it goes to show
You'll fall into the trap of love bow
Before you know

Sleepwalkin', but don't panic
We're on the Titanic
But don't you try to call my bluff
Both eyes shut travels hard enough

Sleepwalkin', don't panic
We're on the Titanic
Across the bridges 'round the poop
A fire escape won't hesitate

She's floating there, a living jewel
A gem that makes me lose my cool
It's no surprise I'm paralyzed
This vision's got me hypnotized
Remember your princely duty
Rescue that sleepin' beauty
And I never felt this strange
I'm supposed to be skilled at the game
So once again it goes to show
You'll fall into the trap of love bow
Before you know

Sleepwalkin', but don't panic
We're on the Titanic
But don't you try to call my bluff
With both eyes shut, travels hard enough

Sleepwalkin', don't panic
We're on the Titanic
Sleepwalkin', sleepwalkin'
Sleepwalkin', sleepwalkin'


3. BABYLON

All the story I've been worried
Did someone ever break your spell?

There's a twist in my tongue made in Babylon
Been elevating, it's complicating
And words can't express real happiness
Everybody's mocking, keep on talking
Walking on the moon, lazing in the sun
And I came for heaven, and be for people

(Chorus)
There's no wars won and nothing done
All the way from Babylon
Stone by stone buried her
Stone by stone, it came down
Walls of chalk with double talk
Hang your tags and labels on
There's no wars won and nothing done
All the way from Babylon

Put 'em in a box, on paradox
And find decision from the magician
Between a whisper and a scream I sense what you mean
But I confess your guess is my guess

(Chorus)

Made in Babylon (4x)


4. 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....


5. MOVIN' DOWN LIFE

Fast Flo paints her nails and she looks bored
So far nothing scored
Where she comes from, people take it nice and slow
That's all it takes, you know

Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other
Movin' down life, movin' in, on another life
Movin', movin' down life

Truck Stop Ben thinks everybody else is a fool
That's why he dropped out of school
He drops them bennies and he sticks to the white line
I say he's doing fine

Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other
Movin' down life, movin' in, on another life
Movin' movin' down life

No one knows where the river starts or where it goes
But jumping in and leaving my clothes

Movin' down life, one day or another
Movin' down life. movin' with each other
Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other


6. CAN'T TALK NOW

Excuse me baby, I beg your pardon, dear
That's not exactly what I wanted me to hear
Your line's been busy, I am watching much too long
It surely drives me crazy to just hear that beep-beep-beep-beeping sound

(Chorus)
Overseas operator, is there anything you can do
I am calling from a bar down-town and they're spitting on my shoe
Suddenly a voice familiar, I'm choking up inside
I've been through hell to reach you, baby
Just gotta talk to you tonight

And she said oh, I can't talk now
I'm expecting a highly urgent phone call
She said, oh, I can't talk now
I'm expecting a highly urgent phone call

Everybody's listening, I don't care
Don't you go hang me up now, don't you dare
Outside in the distance, I hear that clicking sound
Boy when I get home I'm gonna chase that bitch all over town

(Chorus)

She said oh, I can't talk now
I'm expecting a highly urgent phone call
She said, oh, I can't talk now
I'm too stoned to communicate at all

She said oh, I can't talk now
I'm expecting a highly urgent phone call


7. WEEKEND LOVE

The sooner it will be the better
Gonna have to see you right away
It's been a long time since the day I met her
I can't handle being without her one more day
Gonna get the feeling that I'm going insane
Feel so stupid using these old cliché's
You better hurry up Baby, I ain't lying
We're down to nothing but a waste of time
Still remember everything she said
Make no promises and make no debts
All I want is just a one day weekend love

She sips her wine without a flinching
She's in control of it all the way
Looks so good, pretending that she's listening
By the time I fall asleep, she's gone away
She's got no mercy on a jealous heart
And she said it all right from the start
Make no promises and make no debts
But I love that lady, I got to confess
I want more than just a one day weekend love
All she wants is just my one day weekend love
I want more than just a one day weekend love
All she wants is just my one day weekend love


8. LONG BLOND ANIMAL

Get out of my parlour, won't you
Get out of my life
Put on that crazy raincoat
You're gonna need it tonight

Get out of my parlour
For I cut you with a knife
Don't want your disease
Don't need your silly jive

I was an innocent by-stander
I was middle of the roadman for you
Then you took me for a ride, now baby
Showed me all the things you could do
I always listen to the good looking lady
A mistake I won't make no more
'Cause you might be a good-looking lady
You're rotten to the core
You're all fucked up

I've been under your influence
Under your spell too long
Now people keep me at a distance
Everything I do is wrong
My brain's disintegrating
Devil's singing my song
This cannot continue
This cannot go on
You're nothing but a long blond animal


9. TWILIGHT ZONE

Somewhere in a lonely hotel room,
There's a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned its back on him,
It's two a.m

It's two a.m., the fear has gone
I'm sittin' here waitin', the gun still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of takin' chances
Yeah there's a storm on the loose, sirens in my head
I'm wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead
I cannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know,
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone

I'm falling down a spiral, destination unknown
A double-crossed messenger, all alone
I can't get no connection, can't get through, where are you
Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind
This far from the borderline
And when the hit man comes
He knows damn well he has been cheated

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone


10. 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


11. 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.....


12. CLEAR NIGHT, MOON LIGHT

I wanna go ahead until I just run out of gas
We gotta beat the road with four-wheel thunder
There's a Cadillac dealer in Kansas City counting money
And the highway patrol ain't going nowhere

Don't say no, don't say no, don't make me grieve
Don't say no, don't say no, you gotta feel the breeze

On a clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
You and me and the car
Under a thousands stars
Clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
That's all the magic we need
So, don't you go turnin' my dream into a nightmare

Come on honey, let's ride right out of here
Imagine you and I, leavin' it all behind
Find another world, beyond the turnpike
There'll be lots of people uptight
Maybe some FBI, and your daddy screamin' bloody murder

Don't say no, don't say no, don't make me grieve
Don't say no, don't say no, you gotta feel the breeze

On a clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
You and me and the car
Under a thousands stars
Clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
That's all the magic we need
So, don't you go turnin' my dream into a nightmare

Come on honey, let's ride right out of here
Picture the two of us, we're so happy, so much in love
You know how the story goes
At the end of the rainbow
There's a bag of gold


13. 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


14. MY KILLER MY SHADOW

Anywhere you go, I will follow, I will follow
Every time you call, I can hear you
My killer my shadow, where ever I go, you follow
Through the busy street, straight and narrow, wide and shallow
Yeah
(Where ever you go) - you make me forget all my yesterdays
You made me care not for my tomorrow
(Where ever you go) - my my my my killer
You make me understand - understand
All the way to the end - yeah

That I'll be damned, damned, damned in Amsterdam
Yeah I'll be damned, damned, damned in Amsterdam
American poker, Russian roulette
Who's that floatin' underneath the bridge
When the lights go dim, and the crowds go home
I can feel you, I can feel you, Amsterdam
I can feel, I can feel
My killer my shadow, you make me beg, steal and borrow
(Where ever you go) where ever I go
(In the moonlight) - you lead me to a certain fate
(In the nightlife) - tell me now - don't wait
(Where ever you go)
(In the moonlight) - hesitate
(In the neon light) - tell me before it's too late
Will I be damned, damned, damned in Amsterdam
Will I be damned, damned, damned in Amsterdam
Will I be damned, damned, damned in Amsterdam

(Where ever you go) - killer - killer - shadow - shadow
(In the moonlight) - uh - I can feel the heat
(In the nightlife) - in the busy street
(Where ever you go) - killer - killer - shadow - shadow
(In the moonlight) - yeah
(In the neon light) - you make me care not for my yesterday
You make me care not for my tomorrow - where ever you go
(In the moonlight) - my killer - in the nightlife
(Where ever you go) - my killer, my shadow
In the neon light
(Where ever you go) - my killer


15. TURN THE WORLD AROUND

I believe that all around
We're all waiting for a sound
That will break the barriers down
And will make us all feel better
After all the madness' gone
After all I feel it's coming
There's a slogan on the wall
Like a finger on a trigger
There's a truth behind it all
I believe it's getting bigger
But it's all up to you, and it's all up to me
Yeah it's all up to me

Your sweet talking babe, won't turn the world around
Meet me underground, turn the world around
Climb a mountain yeah, cry me an ocean too
Turn the world around, turn the world around
There's no problem babe, you're right, I'm wrong
Let's strike a bargain, 'cause together we're strong

All your sense, all your love
Can't stop the fire from above
Don't you know, when I go
You're gonna go too
Let's turn the world around

Darlin' daughter, I've been told
Gettin' younger, turnin' old
Hides a moment, caught in time
In a mirror that's gone blind
I can see inside my minds' eye
We may get the future right
There's a slogan on the wall
Like a finger on a trigger
There's a truth behind it all
Everyday it's getting bigger
But it's all up to you
And it's all up to me

Don't say impossible, when it's possible
We're responsible, let's turn the world around
Only one light to follow, only one dream to share
Let's strike a bargain, it's gonna get us there

All your sense, all your love....


16. 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


17. TEMPORARY MADNESS

Take my soul, take it away from me
Take my pride, take my dignity
Weepin' like a fool in broad daylight
And I know it just ain't right
I just won't listen to the sound of advice
Pray for me darling all through the night

Temporary madness, emotional overload
It only takes a dime to fall, that's all
Temporary madness, emotional overload
Even when I lose control, I can hear you call
"Come home"

Walkin' on home, my blood's on fire
Feels like my veins are runnin' dry
Jump through the mirror is what you want me to do
Stop sellin' lies baby, buy me some truth
You caught me red-handed by the balls
I can hear you call
"Go home"


18. POURIN' MY HEART OUT AGAIN

Another hour past midnight
Moonshine through the skylight
The bottle's empty and my mind is full
Of your ghost that keeps hauntin' this room

And I could spend all my life
Just sittin' here paralyzed
And I could spend all my life
Waitin' for you to materialize

Love was the only thing
I always felt for you
Bigger than anything
Baby I die for you

Hold me cause I think I'm falling
Like rain on a Monday morning
And when it rains I'm pourin'
My heart out again

I can't remember, I can't forget
I can't see 'cause my eyes are wet
The bottle's empty and it says: you fool
How many tears do I spill for you?

I could spend all my life
Just sittin' here paralyzed
I could spend all my life
Like a thorn of glass in your eye
