unknown

He swears he'll love you by candlelight
And for a while things seem all right
And for a moment he hides
The devil that lies inside

And then one night in a fit of rage
The demon raises his hand in hate
And brings it down on you
There is nothing you can do

And then one night in a twist of fate
The angels bring your face to me
I cannot erase the memories
Of you lying there looking up at me

Chorus
Please take the demon from my head
Won't you please erase the memories
And ghosts who haunt my bed
I just want you to understand
That i'm gonna be the only man
To ever touch your soul
And i ain't never letting go

There's a room that lies down the hall
Where you sit and write you poems
Of love and mystery
Of faith and fantasy

And you keep a secret lover there
And a book beside an easy chair
That you read before you go to bed
To hide the memories in your head

And now i try to understand the pain
You struggle for the words to say
It don't come out right
As you lay your body down

Chorus

There's a place where you go
I've been, i'll never know
The pain you keep inside
The secrets that you hide

But i try to understand your pain
And be a shelter from the falling rain
Just maybe i feel what you're going through
Maybe i have been there too

Please take the demons from my head
Won't you please take the demons from my head
(i shall try)
Repeat

Well you just step right up, you sexy thing
Tell me what's been goin' on in that funky little brain
Come dance with the devil
You want it when it's gonna cost you
'cause nothing comes for free
When you're living in a human zoo

Chorus
Dance sister dance through the human zoo
You're such a mess now, girl
Look what they've done to you...
In the human zoo
Look what they've done to you

All love lost, in a fit of rage
Sell your soul for revenge and seal your fate
Welcome to the nightmare
I've been expecting you
Say anything you like, baby
Just don't let me hear your point of view

Chorus
Dance sister dance through the human zoo
Dance sister dance through the human zoo
You're such a mess now, girl
Look what they done to you...
In the human zoo
Look what they done to you
Look what, look what they done, baby
They made a mess of you

Harmonica solo

Bridge
Hanoi rocks and saigon rolls
Just drop the bomb then watch it explode
Sign of the times read "too young to vote"
But old enough to die for you
We got the medication you need
Just don't let us hear your point of view

Chorus
Dance sister dance through the human zoo
Dance sister dance through the human zoo

Don't matter what my name is
Don't matter what my skin is
Don't matter if i'm black or white
Don't matter if i'm wrong or...right

Chorus
I guess i'm born to lose, ummmm
'cause execution did draw near
I got them steel bar blues

Am i innocent or guilty, man
Dare i say yes, i guess i am
I don't feel no pain no more
Ain't no sunshine, that's for sure

Chorus
I guess i'm born to lose
'cause execution did draw near
I got them steel bar blues

Yes i do.......

Don't matter what my name is
Don't matter what my skin is
Don't matter if i'm black or white
Don't matter if i'm wrong or...right
Don't matter what time it is
Don't matter if i'm black or white
Don't matter if i'm wrong or...right

Fade

My chick is driving me crazy
She thinks that i'm lazy
Just because i'm good at nothing all day

My baby don't get it
So my job, i quit it
Bust my ass,
Hell i barely get paid

People like to put me down
And just because i hang around
Don't they understand it's my way?

Chorus:
Everybody tries to break me
Say they love me when they hate me
Baby you just can't bring me down
I've seen long and lonely days
And i have lost and found my ways
So baby you just can't bring me...down

Yeah, bring me down

Baby i'm leaving
You've got my heart bleeding
So i'm taking the easier way out

The angel in my head
Is now the devil in my bed
If my walls could talk they would shout

Baby you can talk and talk
The hurt you caused, it just don't stop
I think i'm going out of my brain

Chorus

Solo

I got a car, it go fast
Cute fuzzy dice up on the dash
Got a bumper sticker, just say "peace"
Keep a gun under my seat
To protect me from the pain
Should your words get in my brain
Can't you love me just the same
Can't you love me just the....

Chorus

when i lost my way
You were my light
When the others wronged me
You did me right

When i look in your eyes
Don't tell me lies
You tell me the truth
Your words, they get me through

This is all i've got
This is all i'd say
If this were my last day

This is my last song
It's all i got
If i bare my soul
Don't you break my heart
Won't you sing along
This is my last song
It's all i got
So don't you break my heart

Wrote down these words
Put them in this song
I play it for you
Pray they don't come out wrong

Cause all i've gots my word
I give it to you
Now it may not be much
It's the best that i can do

This is all i've got
This is all i say
So please don't walk away

This is my last song
It's all i got
If i bare my soul
Don't you break my heart
Won't you sing along
This is my last song
It's all i got
So don't you break my heart

Solo

If this were my last breath
Or my last day
My last chance
This is what i'd say

I thank you for the laughter
Sorry for the tears
Time to say goodbye
I say goodbye
After all these years

Chorus

You shouldn't have broke my heart

Oh yeah
Rock you baby
My pretty girl, you move so sexy in your skin
Spread your wings for me, let my love come in
My sexy girl, all the world's your stage
You love to feel my passion
You love to feed my rage

Chorus
Give me your faith, you take my hand
You be my girl, i'll be your man
My love's forever, my heart is true
You live for me, i'd die for you
Believe me, baby

Pretty girl, lives inside my head
Like an angel hanging above my bed
I think about you when i'm pacing in my cage
How i loved your eyes, how you loved my evil ways

Chorus
I am love, you are hate
You are laughter, i am rage
My love's forever, my heart is true
You live for me, i'd die for you
Oh yeah, rock it, baby

Guitar solo

Bridge
Pretty girl, i'd protect you from the pain
I will be your sinner, i will be your saint
My sexy girl is so hard to please
She's all i ever wanted, all i ever need

Chorus
You be my girl, i'll be your man
Believe in me, give me your hand
I pull my gun, my aim is true
You'd die for me, 'cause i'd die for you
Oh yeah, rock it baby

You are love, i am hate
You're a sinner and i'm a saint
We are laughter, we are rage
Crime of passion, gonna seal my fate
You're the fire, i'm gasoline
I'm coming on like a war machine
My love is strong, my soul is true
You'd die for me, i'd die for you

Child is born from the act of love
And woman dies from the act of love
Something ain't right around here

Laugh at a man when he's alive
And then cry for him when he dies
Something ain't right around here

Still i dream of sex, still i dream of sex
Maybe, baby, i don't belong around here
Maybe, baby, i don't fit in around here
Maybe i don't belong and things just got a way too clear

Generation lost in space
Blame it on the old rat race
Something ain't right around here

Staring up at my ceiling fan
It go round and round, yes i am
Wondering what i'm going to do tonight

Still i dream of you, still i dream of you
Maybe, baby, i don't belong around here
Maybe i don't fit in, child i don't fit in around here
Maybe i don't belong in things
It got a way too hunh, hunh, hunh...

Will you be my girl tonight
And can i walk along the beach and hold your hand softly
Mary opened up her arms and said come to me, come to me, come to me

I'm still right here and it' all so clear
Something seems right around here
I'm still right here and it all seems all so clear
Something seems right around round here

Now i dream of you, now i dream of you
Baby, baby, i do belong right here
Maybe, child, i do fit in around here
Maybe i always fit in
My head was just a bit unclear

There's a rose on the bed
A letter that i wrote what you mean to me
Words i wished i'd said,
Were still in my head, now i pray you'd see

I don't know how to tell you that i miss you, baby
I struggle with the words sometimes
But in my heart, i know you'll find

Chorus:
I know, you know
Our souls will be together till the end of time
You know, i know
Your love is gonna meet me on the other side
As sure as the angels come down and take my breath away
I love you'd be the last thing i'd ever say

I'd ever say....

You walked beside me,
You stood by me and got me through my darkest times
And now i close my eyes
And visuallize your face for the last time

I didn't know how to tell you that i loved you baby
I struggle with the words sometimes
But in my heart, i know you'll find

Chorus:
I know, you know
Our souls will be together till the end of time
You know, i know
Your love is gonna meet me on the other side
As sure as the angels come down and take my breath away
I love you'd be the last thing i'd ever say

I never fell in love,
No one ever touched me like this before
You opened my eyes
Made me realize something worth living for

Solo (guitar and piano)

But if fate took you from me before i got to let you know
You're the one thing in my life worth dying for
If the world fell apart,
I know in my heart
I know would never change
If the devil himself
Tried to raise hell's bells
I know it would be in vain
If the heavens come down
Let 'em fall to the ground
Let 'em take my breath away
I love you'd be the last thing i'd ever say
