Misdemeanor

It's another night stuck in here, with the tv on
As john wayne holds the alamo,
I'm wonderin' where you've gone
I just sit and wait, hope it's not too late
Say there's something left to prove it to you

Outside this house nothing's changed
Our street looks just the same
The things you left i'll keep that way
Till we're together again
When i just start to slip, yes il lose my grip
I can't believe you're gone, it's really true

Blue, blue, oh baby where are you
Blue, blue, tell me know, it's not true

There's nothing romantic in a tear-drawn goodbye
Oh baby say it's a lie
Panic sets in, i'm an irrational man
If i can't have you nobody can

* repeat

Last night, i heard you talkin
Oh so close, whispering in my ear
All night, till the morning i kept wishing i could feel you near
When we stood naked at the 4th of july
Moon shot took off, lit up the sky
The red sea was parting for the second time
The world at my feet, you were mine, it was..

[instrumental]

Lovin' you was so easy baby
Holdin' on when our luck was down
Sweetest thing that i ever, ever heard was
"i'll always, always be around"

Blue, blue, oh baby, where are you
Blue, blue, gettin' desperate, desperate for you

Living in a one-room
If i don't fall in love soon
Hangin' on the telephone
If i don't get your call soon

* every night i spend alone
I've never been so low
And this room is closing in
If i die, who will know

** in the name of love
Is there someone left for me
In the name of love
Set this heart free

Dreaming of a playmate
If i don't fall in love soon
Strangers on a dark night
But it's all over too soon

* repeat
** repeat twice

[instrumental]

** repeat twice

So this is it, have we come to the end
No more fun, oh my friend
But i'll take my chances now
Lettin' loose again

Wreckless weekends, weekends
Led by my heart, not my head
Tearing this whole world apart

I found something no one steals
It's love of life, it's so real
And i know it's hard for you
But here i go again

Wreckless weekends, weekends
Led by my heart, not my head
Tearing this whole world apart
Bringing me down when it starts

And if it's a lifetime term
Babe i guess i'll never learn
Got to make a stand right here tonight

Got the fever right to my feet
Kicking my heels and i'm coming on heat,
Tonight's the night we make it real
Oh baby, it's a steal
* it's no good tomorrow, it's too far away
I'm keeping my hand in, you gotta stay
There's no time for makeup, just put on your shoes
You know we've got nothing to lose

** wreckless, born for a wild weekend
Wreckless, pushing it 'til the end

I'm tired of houston, it sticks in my throat
I'm gonna swim , not gonna float
So break these chains and let me loose
'cuz if i can't win, i'm gonna choose

* repeat
** repeat

** and i can't stand one more lonely night
Without a love that's got no fight
Oh baby , let me know
C'mon sugar, let it show
One more time, we will know
I gotta keep you, can't let you go

[instrumental]

*** repeat
** repeat twice then let the instruments take it on home!

There's a heartbeat in the city
Caught in the rush there's no pity
On the edge of day
Late night traffic, late to go home
I'm slippin out into the twilight zone
I'm on the edge of day

* in a stolen moment two lovers meet
Whisperin' promises they can't keep
Across the bar jukebox plays
Out in the night they steal away

** out on the meanstreets, feel my heartbeat
Each and every step i take
Out on the meanstreets, feel my heartbeat
It's in every move i make

With all the heat now, and all the stories
Heroes wrestle for the chance of glory
On the edge of day
Midnight cowboys make the sweep
There's nothing sacred on the street
We're on the edge again

* repeat
** repeat

When the lights go down you know life comes easy
It's easy baby
In the wild west end you can find
A friend tonight
Oh tonight
Got to keep this heart. inspired

[instrumental]

* repeat
** repeat twice then the instruments wrap it up

Mama they say the snow this winter
Beat you to the ground
But i'm a long time gone, long time gone
Wish i could see the blazin' sunset
Falling right into the bay
But i'm a long time gone, long time gone

* to dream the dream that's over
To live and love again
Oh my america
And to be where my footsteps lead me over
To be born again tonight

I want to be there on our back porch
Looking on down the road
But i'm a long time gone, long time gone
The troubles here, they pass me by
I want to get home to you
But i'm a long time gone, long time gone

* repeat

Lonely days, lonely nights
Caught up in someone else's fight
I'm holdin' on, and you're so strong
All i want to be is just holdin' you tonight

[instrumental]

* repeat

[short instrumental] * repeat and fade out
