It's late in the evening

She's wondering what clothes to wear

She puts on her make up

And brushes her long blonde hair

And then she asks me, "Do I look alright?"

And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight"

We go to a party

And everyone turns to see

This beautiful lady

That's walking around with me

And then she asks me, "Do you feel alright?"

And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"

I feel wonderful

Because I see the love light in your eyes

And the wonder of it all

Is that you just don't realize how much I love you

It's time to go home now

And I've got an aching head

So I give her the car keys

She helps me to bed

And then I tell her, as I turn out the light

I say, "My darling, you are wonderful tonight"

Oh my darling, you are wonderful tonight

If you've been walking the same old road for miles and miles

If you've been hearing the same old voice tell the same old lies

If you're trying to fill the same old holes inside

There's a better life

There's a better life

If you've got pain

He's a pain taker

If you feel lost

He's a way maker

If you need freedom or saving

He's a prison-shaking Savior

If you've got chains

He's a chain breaker

We've all search for the light of day in the dead of night

We've all found ourselves worn out from the same old fight

We've all run to things we know just ain't right

And there's a better life

There's a better life

If you've got pain

He's a pain taker

If you feel lost

He's a way maker

If you need freedom or saving

He's a prison-shaking Savior

If you've got chains

He's a chain breaker

If you believe it

If you receive it

If you can feel it

Somebody testify

If you believe it

If you receive it

If you can feel it

Somebody testify, testify

If you believe it

If you receive it

If you can feel it

Somebody testify

If you've got pain

He's a pain taker

If you feel lost

He's a way maker

If you need freedom or saving

He's a prison-shaking Savior

If you've got chains

He's a chain breaker

Oh, if you need freedom or saving

He's a prison-shaking Savior

If you've got chains

He's a chain breaker

Paranoid and pissed off

Now that I got the money

Fifty acres and a model A

Right in the middle of Trump country

I told you there goes a neighbourhood

Now mister Williams ain't so funny

I see you looking out your window

Can’t wait to call the police on me

When I know you think I'm up to somethin'

I'm just eating out but still hungry

And this is my analogy

I ain't even near you can't till you put me

I remember when you used to tell me

Nigga run, nigga run

Go back where you come from

Nigga run, nigga run

Go back where you come from

We don't want, we don’t want your kind

We think you’s a dog born

F*ck you, I'm America’s son

This is where I come from

This land is mine

This land is mine

This land is mine

This land is mine

Up till the sun comes up

No I can't stop grindin'

And I can't let ’em break me

No I can't let 'em find me

You can meet my friend the governor

Only if you wanna try me

Or you can meet my other friend the judge

Just in case you think I'm lyin'

And I know you think I'm up to somethin'

I'm just eating out but still hungry

And this is my analogy

I ain't leaving here you can't take it from me

I remember when you used to tell me

Nigga run, nigga run

Go back where you come from

Nigga run, nigga run

Go back where you come from

We don't want, we don't want your kind

We think you's a dog born

F*ck you, I'm America's son

This is where I come from

This land is mine

This land is mine

This land is mine

This land is mine

This land is mine

[Verse 1]

If I could reach the stars

Pull one down for you

Shine it on my heart

So you could see the truth

That this love I have inside

Is everything it seems

But for now I find

It's only in my dreams

[Chorus]

And I can change the world

I will be the sunlight in your universe

You would think my love was really something good

Baby if I could change the world

[Verse 2]

If I could be king

Even for a day

I'd take you as my queen

I'd have it no other way

And our love would rule

In this kingdom we have made

Til then I'd be a fool

Wishing for the day

[Chorus]

And I can change the world

I would be the sunlight in your universe

You would think my love was really something good

Baby if I could change the world

Baby if I could change the world

[Chorus]

I could change the world

I would be the sunlight in your universe

You would think my love was really something good

Baby if I could change the world

Baby if I could change the world

Baby if I could change the world

[Verse 1]

I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress

When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand

But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress

With my father in a casket, I had no plans

And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet

And it hardened like my heart did when you left town

But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant

Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around

[Chorus]

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

[Verse 2]

While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me

Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true

So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me

From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you

[Chorus]

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

[Bridge]

And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce

But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part

[Verse 3]

I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters

But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind

Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom

It's a bed and a bathroom

And a place for the end

[Outro]

I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life

And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

Light from a window, golden and bright

Sound from a dream

I was hypnotized, I was paralyzed

I could hardly speak

And baby, baby, you never realized

That I could have stood there lost in your eyes

Stood there waiting and not realized

Love isn't easy, it isn't always kind

But I could have stood there lost in your eyes

Guess I understand it, guess I sort of have to

Guess I kinda see

Just because it could have been

Doesn't mean it had to ever mean a thing

And baby, baby, I could say it all the time

That I could have stood there lost in your eyes

Stood there waiting and not realized

Love isn't easy, it isn't always kind

But I could have stood there lost in your eyes

And you know sometimes I wonder

Yes, I wonder, I really, really do

Yeah, yes, I do, just because it helps me

And though sometimes it scares me

Guess you wouldn't know, no you wouldn't know

Guess I understand it, guess I sort of have to

Guess I kinda see

Just because it could have been

Doesn't mean it had to ever mean a thing

And baby, oh, baby, you never realized

That I could have stood there lost in your eyes

Stood there waiting and never realized

Love isn't easy, it isn't always kind

But I could have stood there lost in your eyes

You know, I could have stood there

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lost in your eyes, lost in your eyes

Lost in your eyes, lost in your eyes

Lost in your eyes, lost in your eyes

Lost in your eyes, lost in your eyes

Well, I lost you at the border,

When you crossed it

Had your number, baby,

But I lost it

I know your love,

Was just a flimflam

Well, you can't pull the wool over me,

Cause I'm a confidence man

I can talk old ladies,

Out of all of their money

I can talk young girls,

Into calling me honey

You can talk all you want, baby,

But I got fast hands

I know your mother

Taught you how to bake a pie,

And read a book

Your daddy

Taught you how to tell a lie,

And not get shook

Let me tell you somethin', baby

You better learn,

If you're gonna con the con man,

You're liable to get burned

Now, now, now,

We were stretched out on the floor, baby,

It's all elastic

But you stretched it too tight,

And it snapped like plastic,

And the pieces went flying across the badlands.

Well, you can't pull the wool over me,

cause I'm a confidence man.

Now, maybe Chicago,

Is where you're bound

But love is a cheap perfume,

It hangs around

And you roll the dice,

Now let the bet stand

Well, you can't pull the wool over me,

cause I'm a confidence man

Well, you can't pull the wool over me,

cause I'm a confidence man.

Well, you can't pull the wool over me,

cause I'm a confidence man.

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Will I even survive this fight?

I'm screaming

You cut me up deep inside

My mind, I'm bleeding (Bleeding)

But we connect from day to day

And we should try and stay away

We can't hide

The feelings that are kept inside

[Chorus]

Set me free tonight

I'm taking back my life

You always make it do or die

This time I'm leaving you behind

So set me free tonight

I'm taking back my life (My life)

[Verse 2]

All my emotions collide

Inside I can't see

Feels like I'm livin' a lie

This silence kills me

And fuck givin' it time

Even though my mind

Tells me I need it

You always throw me aside

(Go out the door)

Cause now I'm leavin' (Leavin', leavin')

[Chorus]

Set me free tonight

I'm taking back my life

You always make it do or die

This time I'm leaving you behind

So set me free tonight

I'm taking back my life (My life, my life, my life)

I'm taking back my life (My life, my life, my life)

[Bridge]

I'm taking back my life

Taking back my life

But we connect from day to day

And we should try and stay away

We can't hide

The feelings that are kept inside

[Chorus]

Set me free tonight

I'm taking back my life

You always make it do or die

This time I'm leaving you behind

So set me free tonight

I'm taking back my life

[Outro]

Set me free tonight

I'm taking back my life

You always make it do or die

This time I'm leaving you behind

So set me free tonight

I'm taking back my life

You gotta help me darling, I can't make it all by myself

You gotta me baby, I can't do it by myself

If you don't help me little girl, I gotta use somebody else

You might have to curse, you have to swear, you might have to disturb

You might have to rock and roll but you gotta help me darling

I can't make it all by myself, if you don't help me little girl, I gotta find somebody else

You might have to curse, you have to swear, you might have to disturb

You might have to rock and roll but you gotta help me darling

I can't make it all by myself, if you don't help me little girl, I gotta find somebody else

Hey baby put your morning gown, woah baby put on your morning gown

I'm so sleepy little girl but I feel like lying down

When hearts are passing in the night, in the lonely night

Then they must hold each other tight, oh, so very tight

And take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's light

They'll stay together, so much in love

And in the silence of a mist, of a morning mist

When lips are waiting to be kissed, longing to be kissed

Where is the reason to resist and deny a kiss

That holds a promise of happiness?

Though yesterday still surrounds you with a warm and

precious memory

Maybe for tomorrow we can build a new dream for you and me

This glow we feel is something rare, something really rare

So come and say you want to share, want to really share

The beauty waiting for us there, calling for us there

That only loving can give the heart

When life is passing in the night, in the rushing night

A man, a woman in the night, in the lonely night

Must take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's light

They'll be together, so much in love

Together, so much in love

So tell me

You're not afraid to take a chance, really take a chance

Let your heart begin to dance, let it sing and dance

To the music of a glance, of a fleeting glance

To the music of romance, of a new romance

Take a chance

Don't disconnect everything we've built up

Don't start a fire from the inside out

I'll keep quiet 'cause the truth is getting too loud

You panic at the pressure, gonna pull you under

Hands off of me, I'm not going down

I've given up too much to let this take me out

Don't ask me how I'm feeling, there's nothing to talk about

Don't ask me how I'm feeling, I don't wanna talk it out

Scenes from yesterday slowly drifting away

How could anything ever be the same?

Knew there'd come a day where I need to go on holiday

If there's one thing that's for sure

It's change is on its way, and it waits for no one

I beat myself up every time

But it's not

It's not

It's not my fault

Don't ask me how I'm feeling, there's nothing to talk about

Don't ask me how I'm feeling, I don't wanna talk it out

I don't wanna talk it out

If there's one thing that's for sure

I don't wanna talk it out

Man's gotta be a stone,

Man's gotta be a stone,

A man's gotta carry that weight and get back home.

I got one life to live,

Baby, one life to live,

I gotta fill it up, so I can get back what I give.

Gotta get wise today.

I'm gonna have to find a way,

To work till I get it right and make it pay.

Man's gotta be a stone,

Man's gotta be a stone,

A man's gotta carry his weight and get back home.

Man's gotta see the sun,

A man's gotta see the sun,

He's gotta know another new day, has begun.

Man's gotta be a stone,

Man's gotta be a stone,

A man's gotta carry his weight and get back home.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

It was a warm spring night at the old town hall

There was a group called The Jokers, they were layin' it down

Cha know I'm never gonna lose that funky sound

Rock and roll, hoochie koo (Rock and roll, hoochie koo)

Lordy mama, light my fuse (Light my fuse)

You know I worked for a dollar, or several thousand, man couldn't save a dime

Ain't nobody worried and there isn't nobody's crying

Yeah, I got my hands outside to get a hold on, try to get some of my cash

Lord I try to get my hands outside to get a hold on, try to get some of my cash

It's those great big smiles to keep us out of that trash

So I packed up my suitcase and I move on down, hit that lonesome road

You know I packed up my suitcase and I hit that lonesome, move on down

I'm still crying to make it when the day was done
