1. HYDRA


There was a man
Who walked alone
Searching for the girl who had just caught his (eye)
"I was a fool!" he cried
His mind had wandered
He blinked and the sky moved ever so slightly
He searched the city
She was nowhere to be found
Meanwhile she was floating downward, downward

Chorus:
Do you want your freedom
Do you want my love
Do you want your freedom
From the one you're thinking of

There lied a lady
Naked and yet not knowing
A spell had claimed her heart forever
Preyed upon by the wolves in Time Square
Fell into an abyss of thin air
Innocent 'n' caged in sanctuary
There sat the Dragon Lord
Playin' solitairy
Confined to rule the holy walls 'neath Hell's Kitchen

Chorus:
Do you want your freedom
Do you want my love
Do you want your freedom
From the man who lives above

Suddenly a voice was heard
FLASH! the brave young man appeared
The Dragon whirled and caught him with his tail
Chased him to the stairway
Caught him halfway to the top
Sent him whirling down --
Fireball, summer solstice
The Dragon Lord descended down on him
She turned to look but saw only darkness silence

Chorus:
You don't want your freedom
You don't want my love
You don't want your soul caught
By the Satan I'm thinking of



2. ST GEORGE AND THE DRAGON


Can you tell me where I might find the Hydra
Is he wearing a familiar face
Does he still live below Seventh Avenue
With the princess dipped in lace

Does he know that I'm a soldier of fortune
And not a victim of circumstance
We drew lots for his soft underbelly
Now his fate is sealed with my lance

I can tell by the look in your eye
You've never seen the man with nothing to say
I can tell by the look in your eye
You'd better watch yourself
St. George is on his way

Is it true that he's a mighty warrior
And a viper of the first degree
I've been sentenced here to slay the giant
Geld this fear I cannot see

Can you tell me where I might find the Hydra
Is he wearing a familiar face
Does he still live below Seventh Avenue
In the slums of Satan's grace

I can tell by the look in your eye
You've never seen the man with nothing to say
I can tell by the look in your eye
You'd better watch yourself
St. George is on his way



3. 99


99
I've been waiting so long
Oh 99
Where did we go wrong
Oh 99
I love you

99
I keep breaking your heart
Oh 99
How can we be apart
Oh 99
I love you

I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know i love you 99

99
You keep holding my hand
Oh 99
They don't know who i am
Oh 99
I love you

I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know i love you 99

99
I can't take it no more
Oh 99
Oh we were so sure
Oh 99
I love you

I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know i love you 99



4. LORRAINE


I've heard a lot of stories
So tell me if they're true
Oh I would die for you
Knowing that you're mine

You tell me that you're sorry
You say your heart is new
Oh I will cry for you
Call me and we'll dine

It's almost over Lorraine
Can you still feel the pain
Do you still want me to love you
It's such a funny day

Whoah oh oh
It's such a funny day

Tonight we sail for Paris
Where the streets are paved with gold
Your eyes have blessed my soul
Your lips, they've blessed the wine

We'll tame the Gulf of Lyons
I'll wed thee in Marseilles
We'll turn the moon to blood
If only there were time

It's almost over Lorraine
Can you still feel the pain
Do you still want me to love you
It's such a funny day
Whoah oh oh
It's such a funny day



5. ALL US BOYS



All us boys like to drink and smoke
Pull off a joke
Blow your minds and leave
Hot tires behind

All us boys like to fight and kick
Carry a stick
We're getting older
And acting bolder

Mothers tell your daughters
To stay away from Rock 'n Roll
'Cause it may entice them
And mesmerize them
Even satisfy their soul

I'm sure mama told you 'bout making love
And the skies above
With its fallen angels

Diet pills
Female thrills
But mama never told you 'bout
All us boys

Mothers tell your daughters
To stay away from rock and roll
'Cause it may entice them
And mesmerize them
Even satisfy their soul

All us boys just want to play
All us boys won't run away



6. MAMA


Mama, I don't love you anymore
Money's got me crawlin' on the floor
Lover, I'm so ashamed that I must go
Funny somehow I thought by now you'd know

Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
"Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away."

Mama, please throw me out in the cold
Woman, the love you bought was never sold

Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
"Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away."

Mama, I don't love you anymore
Sorry I'm not the boy you're looking for

(See the girl with they eyes on fire
Now he know she's the one he desires)




7. WHITE SISTER



How can you say you love me
When you don't even love yourself
You live your life like a jagged knife
Just waiting on the shelf

How can you live for tomorrow
When you curse the night and day
The minutes pass through the hour glass
As you let them slip away

Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me when I play your game
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me
When I call your name

How can you touch the sorrow
With a leather gloved hand
When you summon the winds of anger
Just as fast as you can

You crucify an orphan
With the rainbow in your eyes
Then you send out invitations
And address them with his cries

I, I don't even know what's right
I can say that you put up some kind of fight
I've been branded
I've been stranded
I'm so thankful for what I've been handed
I wish I could say that you're mine
Such a card game

[Instrumental brake]

Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me when I play your game
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me
When I call your name



8. A SECRET LOVE



He never felt that she cared
Turning to leave
Feeling her lonely stare
If only a secret love

Left more than a broken heart
Like a fool thinks he felt the start
Of what he hoped for so long

He waits though he knows she's gone
Alone he climbs
Until he falls

Only a secret love brings more than a broken heart

Like a fool I have played the part
Of what I hoped for so long
The need to belong...
In love
