1. ANGEL

Oh, oh, fly angel fly
Angel, angeeeellll, angeeeeeelllllllll!

The one time I didn't know what to do
I had a problem with my attitude
'Cos I never had, never had
The young man blues, the blues before
Well I know it means none, none to you
Everyman's gotta walk in his own shoes
Ain't that hard, it sure is hard to see
Straight from the heart

I can't find nothing on my shopping list
I only keep hammerin' the nail I miss
I just cannot help, believin',
That heaven is a hard on
Well I know it don't mean a damn to you
The left hand guessin' what the right will do
Now ain't that, ain't that,
The way it is, as a matter of fact
Straight from the heart

While I'm floating like a swan on a waterbed
Drowning in a pond, in a pool of regret
I'm tryin' to remember not to forget
How you bring me down with your kiss of death
Angel, angel, angel, angeeeeeellllllll

I'm entertaining all the Gods for you
Buddha and Jesus and the other one too
Now ain't that, ain't that
Like apple juice, forbidden fruit
Moon jump, flyin' back to the sun
Cool burn visible for everyone
And the blood flows, don't you know
All through your body and back to your soul
Straight from the heart

While I'm floating like a swan on a waterbed
Drownin' in a pond, in a pool of regret
I'm tryin' to remember not to forget
How you bring me down, with your kiss of death
Angel, angel, angel, angeeeeeeellllllll


2. HOLD ME NOW

Dreaming 'bout the future and drinkin' on the past
Thinkin' 'bout the things that been forgotten
Tryin' to remember and tryin' to forget
That my life is empty without you
Sayonara, close your eyes now little girl
'Cause tomorrow hides a whole different world

Hold me now, you gotta guide me through the night
Hold me now, make my ice-cold blood turn warm

Talkin' 'bout our friends in love
Our friends with broken hearts
The one's I always keep forgiving
That funny angel shot a poison pointed dart
Tonight I wanna keep on living
For your love, close your eyes now little girl
'Cause tomorrow's hidin' a whole different world

Hold me now, you gotta guide me trough the night
Hold me now, and make it last forever
Hold me now, be my guide just for a while
Hold me now and make my ice-cold blood turn warm


3. LIQUID SOUL

Went down to the liquor store
I had enough, but I needed more
Give me a six-pack
I got money, I got cash yeah

Take my life, break the seal
Take my knife, cut the waitin'
Say the word, no hesitatin'
Can't you see that I'm hungry

Been a dirty liar, a cold hearted diplomat
And now I keep on tryin', tryin' hard to forget
I used to be a coward, no Clark Gable
No sticks of dynamite, no funky fire sign
This river is runnin' dry, you'll never capture
It's Liquid Soul

Daylight, I'm angry
Lonely, but I've found
Somethin' solid gold
On this endless road
I, like the glow
When the fire turns to coal

And I see your mystery
Send me on my way
Sometimes I wander, sometimes I leave for good
Livin' up my fantasy, livin' in a world like you
She ask me do you love me, answer: I don't know
She ask me do you love me,
Yes I love you girl
Givin' up my freedom, givin' up my fantasy
I'm givin' uuup

Go go - go go - go go

Sometimes I'm prisoner, sometimes I feel free
I'm livin' up, livin' up, livin' up my fantasy
Already know the answer, information plain to see
Through the muddy waters

No sticks of dynamite, no need for sacrifice
This river ain't runnin' dry, you'll never capture
It's Liquid Soul


4. MINUTE BY MINUTE

The first time I laid my eyes on you
You happened to glance the other way
But by the look of your lazy smile
I knew I had a chance some way
I knew there would be a role for me
To play in a wild wild fantasy

Now I'm takin' it day by day
Cause you got my head spinnin' round
Minute by minute
I'm countin' the seconds down
Until the time comes
For me to hold you in my arms
Minute by minute
Until we become one

Here's a man with a hole in his heart
Dyin' to get it fixed
And complications from the start
Make it an operation of high risk
I need an operation, doctor, doctor
Don't cut out my wild, wild fantasy

Now I'm takin' it day by day
Cause you got my head spinnin' round
Minute by minute
I'm countin' the seconds down
Until the time comes
For me to hold you in my arms
Minute by minute
Until we become one


5. 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.....


6. SPACE SHIP

I remember it happened, late one night
No moon, no stars
No sound, no light
I was young and scared
And afraid of the dark
When I saw that space ship
Shaped like a heart

When the years go by, just like a shot
I was way too busy, growing up
I was datin' girls, so I forgot
All about that space ship, shaped like a heart

Well I woke up one morning, feelin' fed up and lost
Runnin' out of luck, desperate for love
And there she was, I kid you not
That space ship, shaped like a heart

Blindin' my eyes, cloudin' my sight
Givin' me hope it would be all right
Space ship shaped like a heart
I saw it in your eyes, and in the way you smile
Right from the start

Space ship shaped like a heart
Don't wanna ask me why
Don't wanna say goodbye
To that heart in the sky
I was standin' by the window
We just made love
I was comin' down
From the push and shove
I was lookin' up
I saw a spark
It was a space ship
Shaped like a heart


7. THE UNFORGETTABLE DREAM

Come on baby write me a letter
Shut out the night, write me a song
This wheel of fortune, we spin together
Am I right, am I wrong

I'm tired, tired of believin'
You don't care, you don't care
Come on woman, come on girl
Maybe it's time to weave your spell

And I know, the unforgettable dream line
You say it better than you know
And I know, the unforgettable dreamtime
You blew me feathers on the dance floor
You look amazin' in the night
Sure makes me horny
The way we whisper lies in the storm
I'm nothin' but a beggar for your love

I couldn't care less,
You couldn't care less
We're gettin' careless about the time

And I know, the unforgettable dream line
You say it better than you know
And I know, the unforgettable dreamtime
You blew me feathers on the dance floor
Let's go crazy in the night, sure makes me horny
Let's go chase another rainbow
Cause we're runnin' out of time
This night is unforgettable
The unforgettable dream
Let's go chase another rainbow
Before we forget....


8. I CAN`T DO WITHOUT YOUR KISS

Tonight when I ride outta here
They will curse this shotgun town
Where the whisky flows like water
And the law means nothing to anyone

I am headin' for a showdown
And when the church-bell chimes nine times
There's a crazy gamblers' final bet
It makes the local undertaker smile
You wanted me to settle down, maybe raise a family
I remember that I said:"matrimony ain't for me"

The only thing that you said was:
"lay down your star with your gun belt
And let me be your sweetheart
I don't want you to get killed"

I can't do without your kiss,
I can't do without your kiss
There's no doin' without your kiss

A fearless outlaw always lies
Sweatin' in his bed
While the guns are always loaded
Under a pillow, under his head
And when the rooster calls one moment
At the final crack of dawn
Like the whistle from a long gone train
While the folks are gatherin' around

I can't do without your kiss,
I can't do without your kiss
There's no doin' without your kiss

And in the cathouse when we made it
You said: "I'm always yours for free"
After a day and night together
How in hell could I have disagreed

I can't do without your kiss, I can't do...


9. FREEDOM DON`T LAST FOREVER

It don't look like a happy home
For the monkey in the corner
Behind the bars inside the cage
The sadness makes me shiver
Freedom don't last forever

It's no way never near good taste
And puts my good sense to the test
Makes me wonder who's the beast
In the eyes of the audience
Freedom don't last forever

And the way love burns
Twists and turns
And tears us all apart
Let me tell you my old friend
It can also break your heart

Can't take no more
Lock the door
Leave me here with my self-pity
Leave me alone
With my lazy bones
And a banana on the branch of my tree

Can't take no more
Lock the door
Leave me here with my self-pity
Leave me alone
With my lazy bones
With a dream and a memory

Loneliness is a ghost
Trapped in a room of silence
Inside my head I hear the roar
The roar of a crazy lion
Freedom don't last forever
Freedom don't last forever


10. MAXIMUM MAKE - UP

She never leaves the house, without a royal blush
She slaps on the pancake, and it's never too much
Old - Blue Eyes on the hi-fi, now ain't that a scream

Maximum make-up for the beauty queen

She's got an affair with a, king size mirror
The lighting's just right, your perfect deceiver
Cosmetics on standby fakin' a dream

Maximum make-up for the beauty queen

Black stockings and pink cigarettes
Lips high-gloss, pigeon blood red
10 inch lashes and the finishing touch
A string of pearls, and a Mickey Mouse watch

My - my - maximum make-up
Turns me on and makes me hot
My - my - maximum make-up
Don't you ever take it off

At the end of the day, when the face runs down
Finally gets tired of lookin' like a clown
Mascara smears, time for cold cream
Maximum make-up for the beauty queen

My - my - maximum make-up
Turns me on and makes me hot
My - my - maximum make-up
Don't you ever take it off


11. LEGALIZE TELEPATHY

You cook my brain in your favorite pot
You fry my eggs till they're sizzlin' hot
You like to give it everything you got
And everything's for free, everything's for free

Make all the girls at the beauty parlor
Jump up and down and scream and holler
Just like a lapdog on a leash with a collar
That's what you're makin' me
That's what you make outta me

I ain't no professor, I ain't got no degree
But I sure as hell know how to read
The little notes you keep sendin'
The bottom line always gets to me
What do you mean?

Legalize, legalize, legalize telepathy
Legalize, legalize, legalize telepathy

You always go where I wanna be goin'
You always know what I wanna be knowin'
You always do what I wanna be doin'
Now ain't that telepathy, with a capital E.S.P.?
