1. _ Heaven's Last Attempt
Rain down mercy for the lost and lonely child
For the liars and the losers, the reckless and the wild
There's no more use in pretending
I know I never fooled you
The deepest darkness I've ever known comes
From living like I do
But I swear I'm gonna knock on that gate
Even if it's all in vain
I'll stand outside with my mouth wide open
And drink the pouring rain
I know there's some good left in this world
I've seen it shine in your eyes
So rain down salvation, and keep my faith alive
The harder we fall, the closer we come
To finding our hearts and the damage we've done
Darlin' I've held the devil's dirty hand
But holding you now, I know
Is heavens last attempt
So won't you walk beside me, you know I can't make it alone
Here the fields are dark and the wind is hard, hard as stone
Roll out the sky and let me come home, come home
I want to come home
The harder we fall, the closer we come
To finding the light and the warmth of the sun
All that I've ever had I've let slip through my hands
But holding you now, I know is heaven

3. _ Sheila Don't Remember
I'm the old man at the dance hall.
I'm the young man in his grave.
I'm the one you're gonna cry for
When you find I've gone away.
There's a phone booth on a corner,
A thousand miles from here.
With a thousand miles between us,
She could whisper in my ear.
But Sheila don't remember
Our secret, little, sin.
No, Sheila don't remember
Where my hands have been.
Well, there's a letter in my pocket.
There's a stone inside my shoe.
There's a footprint in the yard
Where a man walked on the moon.
Sail on wind, sail on water;
Roll on wheels down ancient roads.
This heart can only take me where the angels fear to go,
And Sheila don't remember
The way she wasted me
Or the lovers who have suffered
Against her memory.
Yeah, yeah.
Never knew the peace of understanding.
Never knew the joy of no regret.
How could you let me do those things to you
And just forget,
Oh, forget?
(Yeah, yeah.)
(Yeah, yeah.)
No, Sheila don't remember
Our secret little sin.
No, Sheila don't remember
Where my hands have been.
Where my hands have been...
(Yeah, yeah.)
Where my hands have been...
(Yeah, yeah.)
Where my hands have been...

4. _ Believe in You
Eu tocarei guitarra para pagar o aluguel
E você pode fazer da nossa família três
Eu posso não fazer um milhão de dólares
Mas um milhão de dólares não me farão
Estou olhando pras estrelas esta noite
Pensando nesse zoológico humano
Aquele pobre e velho Léo vendo os carros passarem
Gritando para ver quem conhece quem
Acredite em você
E eu acreditarei em mim
Um homem desesperado com suas dívidas
Nesses campos verdes e gloriosos
Todos nós rezamos para o céu
Para nos ajudar a concertar essa máquina
Há muita conversa sobre as nuvens cinzas
Quando lá tem um grande céu azul
Eu desligo a TV e olho em seus olhos
E eu sei que eu encontrei algo verdadeiro
Apenas acredite em você
E eu acreditarei em mim
Esta é a era nos ícones feitos de areia
Desde a estrela do rock and roll, até o padre local
Desde o jogador de baisebol, até o político com seus planos
Bem, querida apenas acredite em você
E eu acreditarei em mim
Agora algué vai processar por assédio
Alguém vai processar porque não consegue esquecer
Alguém vai processar o pobre e velho Philip J. Morris
Por vender muitos cigarros
E Philip Morris provavelmente irá me processar
Por colocar seu nome nesta música
E por toda a América
Nós tentamos e ensinamos nossas crianças como crescer
Acredite em você
E eu acreditarei em mim

5. _ Take the Reins
Liven up, loose the chains
It's hard to lie down in the driving rain
I lost a job I thought I had
My friends say maybe that ain't so bad
You gotta lose boy to learn to win
Life's just a game I'll never understand
But the ride is rough
And you fall, you better get back up
Take the reins by the hand
And learn to fall like a man
My baby called from the south of France
Said I know what you want buddy
But there ain't no chance
I finally found my pot of gold
And what you hide man, is yours to hold
Well baby darlin', I'm just a man
And love's just a game I'll never understand
She said, the ride is rough
And when you fall, you better get back up
Take the reins by the hand
And learn to crawl like a man
Brother if you can
You learn to crawl like a man

6. _ Speed of Life
Like ghosts on open windows,
The curtains rise and fall.
The past is a foreign country
At the dark end of the hall,
And the morning is an offering
To the shelter of the day.
But the violent come, and they bury it away.
Time goes by at the speed of life,
Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night.
Faster than the skin breaks on the edge of a knife,
And we just go on at the speed of life.
Like questions begging answers,
The stars appear at night.
What's it mean to love somebody?
What's it mean to be alive?
I heard a little girl laughing
At her first sight of snow;
Saw an old man dying
In a room he didn't know.
While the world turns through the ages,
It's a most peculiar ride.
Holding on to one another,
Moving at the speed of life.
We just go on at the speed of life.
A family on the midway, in the carnival lights,
Moving in a circle through the sounds and the sights,
And it all goes by at the speed of life.
Time goes by at the speed of life,
Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night.
Faster than the skin breaks, baby,
On the edge of a knife,
And we just go on, and on, at the speed of life.
Moving at the speed of life.
Speed of life.
On and on, and on, and on.
On and on, and on, and on.

7. _ Low Life

8. _ Madison
Dream town, no money down
Young girls shine electric in the sun
Mirror mirror up in the sky
Tell me why should I be the lowly one
Big splash, low on cash
I don't know why and baby I don't care
See it comes and goes, it's the highs and the lows
Of the hundred dollar millionaire
I promised her I wouldn't stay
She calls me every single day
But the rain don't snow and the hurt don't show
And I don't think I can let it go on
Madison, Madison
It's a long way home Madison
Heart breaker what does it take?
How many times can a fool say I forgive
Before he falls into a stranger's arms and finds out
What it's really like to live?
You could say you're sorry in your sleep
You apologies are cheap
But my heart feels strange like something's changed like
I don't think I'll be back again to Madison
It's a long way home Madison
I'll write your name down on a pretty red balloon
Give it a kiss and let it fly straight to the moon
My heart feels strange, like something's changed like
I have been born again
Madison, Madison
It's a long way home Madison

9. _ Hole at the Top of the World
The Earth was trembling on their wedding day.
The sun was cold; the sky was chrome.
They spoke their lines like actors in a play,
Changed their clothes, and hurried home.
Now, in their dreams, the season lingers.
There is no wisdom in this pain.
She turns the ring around her finger.
He hopes that, somehow, things will change.
We cry to the wind to mend what's broken,
But where on Earth can we rest assured?
Who'll spin these dreams into something golden?
Who'll fix the hole at the top of the world?
The top of the world...
The dogs were howling around the White House.
Election day, in the land of the mall.
I have no hopes, no expectations;
I watch my shadow grow on the wall,
And through my heart this empty wind blows.
There is no wisdom in this pain.
There are no bars across these windows,
But I'm a prisoner just the same.
We cry to the wind to mend what's broken,
But where on Earth can we rest assured?
Who'll spin these dreams into something golden?
Who'll fix the hole at the top of the world?
The top of the world...
If our hearts became our anvils,
If wisdom's hammer was in our hands,
Could you and I build something better?
Do you think our hearts would understand?
We cry to the wind to mend what's broken,
But where on Earth can we rest assured?
Who'll spin these dreams into something golden?
Who'll fix the hole at the top of the world?
Top of the world, yeah...

10. _ Joe
I go to church on Sunday morning
Come home and beat my wife
My name is Joe, and you know me
I've lived here all of my life
What a life
I've got this pain I cannot speak of
I'm not so bad as people say
Got two kids who look like angels
But sometimes, sometimes I wish they'd fly away
[Chorus]
Life is good, you know we're lucky
Living in the U.S.A.
We've got everything we ever dreamed of
Darlin' I don't know why
I don't know why I act this way
My next door neighbor's got a problem
He works hard, it don't seem fair
His wife's a teacher at the grade school
And we've been having this affair
I've been a son, I've been a soldier
I've thrown the football in the rain
The blood of murderers and millionaires is pounding
Pounding through my veins
[Chorus]
But life is good, you know we're lucky
Living in the U.S. of A.
And we got everything we ever dreamed of
Baby I don't know why
I don't know why I act this way
When Kennedy was in the white house
We were children in the sun
Smokin' candy cigarettes
Cowboys and Indians with wooden guns
Some nights I go down to the basement
With thoughts I do not understand
A purple heart and a loaded pistol
And I just hold 'em
Hold 'em in my hands
[Chorus]
Life is good, you know we're lucky
Cause baby this is the U.S.A.
And we got everything we ever dreamed of
Darlin' I don't know why
No, I don't know why I act this way
I don't know why I act this way
