horse with no name

On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

After two days in the desert sun my skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

After nine days I let the horse run free 'cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

you can do magic

I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you

I couldn't believe it, you took my heart
I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself
What's it all about
Now I know there can be no doubt

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane
And when the night it gets so cold, when I can't sleep
Again you come to me
I hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it
With a word you dry my tears

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

And If I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was true
But now it's so clear to me

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

You're the one who can put out the fire
You're the one who can put out the fire
You're the one who can put out the fire ...

ventura highway

Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe?
Some people say this town don't look
Good in snow
You don't care, I know

Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger
Than moonshine
You're gonna go I know

'Cause the free wind is blowin' through
Your hair
And the days surround your daylight
There
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air

Wishin' on a falling star
Watchin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by
Purple rain
Aw, come on Joe, you can always
Change your name
Thanks a lot son, just the same

Ventura Highway
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger
Than moonshine
You're gonna go I know

'Cause the free wind is blowin' through
Your hair
And the days surround you daylight
There
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air

chasing the rainbow

Sat here thinking about my heart
All of the places it came apart
There's just one thing that I need to know
Why am I always chasing the rainbow

Get it get it get it get it get it get it get it uh huh
I ran through the meadow looking for a dream
Truth is never like what it seems
I guess there's always so far to go
Why am I always chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it get it uh huh

Where is the light
Where is the love
Where are the dreams that I once had
Frittered away
Gone in the time it takes to get from there to here

Get it get it get it
Get it get it get it uh huh
Get it get it get it chasing the rainbow
Why am I always chasing the rainbow

I'd draw you a picture cause it just might help
To point out the place where we went so wrong
The only color I'd use is blue
Why am I always chasing the rainbow

Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it get it uh huh
Get it get it chasing the rainbow

Why am I always chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Why am I always chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it get it uh huh

california dreamin

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I went for a walk
On a winters day
Id be safe and warm
If I was in l.a.
California dreamin
On such a winters day

I stopped into a church (stopped into a church)
I passed along the way (passed along the way)
You know, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
Oh, the preacher likes the cold (preacher likes the cold)
He knows Im gonna stay (knows Im gonna stay)
Oh, california dreamin (california dreamin)
On such a winters day

All the leaves are brown (the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I went for a walk (I went for a walk)
On a winters day (on a winters day)
If I didnt tell her (if I didnt tell her)

inspector mills

Inspector Mills
I'd like to tell you 'bout a girl I saw
At a party just the other night in Beverly Hills

Inspector Mills
I hope you find her and it don't take long
Watch my feelings for her growing strong in a war of wills
Inspector Mills

I can't attempt to point you in her direction
I didn't see her walking out of the door
If I had taken my time she'd be standing here still
Inspector Mills

I recall once in my life I felt this way before
But I let her go and closed the door, walk away
Inspector Mills
I can't attempt to show the hurt in me
And just how much I need the company;
search the valleys and the hills
You gotta find her Mr. Mills

I can't attempt to point you in her direction
I was blinded by the look in her eyes
If I had taken my time she'd be sitting here still
Inspector Mills

Oo, someday soon I might be in love with her

Inspector Mills
I guess you've taken quite a look around
Guess I've heard the word from underground,
she's gone for good
Inspector Mills is it any crime for a fool like me
Try to use your time 'cause I wanna see;
you just send me the bill
Inspector Mills, Inspector Mills

I can't attempt to point you in her direction
I didn't see her walking out of the door
If I had taken my time she'd be lying here still
Inspector Mills, Inspector
I can't attempt to point you in her direction
I was blinded by the look in her eyes
If I had just followed through then I wouldn't be calling you

don t let me be lonely

Here we are again
Two lovers lost in a maze
So many roads we could go down
So many ways we could go wrong

You think we should part
Both go our own separate ways
Oh, girl why cant (oo) we work it out
Cant you hear what my heart says (ah)

Dont let me be lonely
Dont let me be lonely tonight
That wouldnt be right
Now that I (ah) need you more than ever

Here we are tonight
Both starring in the same play
But Im the one (oo) who plays the fool
Ive only one line to say (ah)

Dont let me be lonely
Dont let me be lonely tonight
That wouldnt be right
Now that I (ah) need you more than ever

Girl, what will I be
If you walk away from me
How can I make you stay (ah)

Dont let me be lonely
Dont let me be lonely tonight
That wouldnt be right
Now that I need you more than ever

america

right before your eyes

Every day I sit beside you
On the bus to madison avenue
Work in the big gray store
With the revolving doors

You don?t even know my name
I guess that I?m to blame
Don?t know the right things to say
So I pretend away

That I?m rudolph valentino
Pull up in my limousine
Oh, won?t you come in out of the rain
Things?ll never be the same

And then just like greta garbo
You stare like there?s no tomorrow
And you?ll know what I?m thinking of
Right before your eyes I fall in love with you

Do, do, do ...

Today I?m done with games (today I?m done with games)
Gonna ask you for your name
Say I?ve been watching you
I even know what you do

Maybe today I?ll tell you (maybe today I?ll tell you)
I?ve found the nerve to sell you
On a guy like me
Who wishes that he could be

Your rudolph valentino
Pull up in my limousine
Oh, won?t you come in out of the rain
Things?ll never be the same

And then just like greta garbo
You stare like there?s no tomorrow
And you?ll know what I?m thinking of
Right before your eyes I fall in love with you

Do, do, do ...

Right before your eyes I fall in love with you
Right before my eyes you?ll say you love me to

Rudolph valentino
I pull up in my limousine
Oh, won?t you come in out of the rain
Things?ll never be the same

And then just like greta garbo
You stare like there?s no tomorrow
And you?ll know what I?m thinking of, oo

Do, do, do ...

we got all night

You can take your time
I?ll be takin? mine
We don?t have to hurry

Let the world go by
Tonight it?s you and i
Feelin? others slowly

And though a simple touch
Can mean so much
Says all you need to know

We got all night
We got from sundown to sunrise
So don?t let go, just hold me baby
We got all night
Let?s make it last forever
Take it nice and slow
We got all night

It?s so good to know
You don?t have to go
Stay until tomorrow

Lying side by side
Feel the senses slide
Let your feelings follow

?cause tonight is ours
And through the hours
Love goes on and on

We got all night
We got from sundown to sunrise
So don?t let go, just hold me baby
We got all night
Let?s make it last forever
Take it nice and slow
We got all night

Feels like we waited a lifetime
To be alone tonight
So make it hard to forget you
?cause we don?t know when
We can do it again

We got all night
We got from sundown to sunrise
So don?t let go, just hold me baby
We got all night
Let?s make it last forever
Take it nice and slow

All night
All night

We got all night
We got from sundown to sunrise
So don?t let go, just hold me baby
We got all night
Let?s make it last forever
Take it nice and slow

We got all night
We got from sundown to sunrise
So don?t let go, just hold me baby
We got all night
Let?s make it last forever
Take it nice and slow ...

only game in town

Spectators line the avenue
The players step out right on cue
And every night just seems the same
Nameless faces play their game

The midnight gamblers place their bets
The tight-rope walkers check their nets
Then comes the queen of broken hearts
This is the way it always starts

Finders find love for the evening
Keepers keep the love they?ve found
Losers lose and wind up weeping
But it?s the only game in town

All hail the third string debutante
She tries to act so nonchalant
Chasin? the prince of alibis
Into a smokescreen made of lies

Finders find love for the evening
Keepers keep the love they?ve found
Losers lose and wind up weeping
But it?s the only game in town

My window looks down on the set
Each night the players strut and fret
So if you?d like to join the rest
Just choose the part that suits you best

Finders find love for the evening
Keepers keep the love they?ve found
Losers lose and wind up weeping
But it?s the only game in town

spanic - sister golden hair

Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn
depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself
undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's
times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair
surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in
my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too
hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in
the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show
you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just
can't make it

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair

all i think about is you

I rise to see you in the morning
I feel your warmth so true
The light inside of me
Is there for all to see
But all I think about is you

I see your face in every doorway
That I have wandered through
The light inside of me
Is there for all to see
But all I think about is you

Baby even in the hardest times
Lately even in the darkest nights
I know

Baby even in the hardest times
Lately even in the darkest nights
I know

I rise to see you in the morning
I feel your warmth so true
The light inside of me
Is there for all to see
But all I think about is you
But all I think about is you
