Bodies And Souls

Mama said he'd be a failure
Live down on the bowery
Somewhere, yeah
Libacious schoolboy with that
Slicked back hair
Playing your guitar
You rock and you roll...

Listen to american pop
American pop
Listen to american pop - music
Listen to american pop
American pop
Listen to american pop music...

Down on the corner
Turn on your radio
Frankie there you are
Underneath the skyline
The roar and the heat

Listen
American pop
Listen
American music
Listen
American pop
Listen

Vocal breakdown
Mama look at your boy now

There's an infinity of ways
And just as many people striving for them, oh
Who's to say what is wrong or right
Only we can judge what lies within us
It's our code of life

So much is counting on what we say
So many virtues that we must weigh
Where's the light we long for
Love must find a way
And all things in their time will follow, oh....

It's like a wave of honor in motion,
Floating away,
It's like an overwhelming emotion,
One and the same
If we take the time to find it
We can help define a way
Uncharted

Code of ethics, feel it
Stand, be counted
Life is only what we make it
So don't fake it
Just make it right

Like a visionary's dream
There's a cry for truth we need to know
Is it life or a novel's theme
Underlying codes we'd live or die for
It's a mystery

Violence is growing, it's in the air
People are starving while others stare
Where's the light we long for?

Love must find a way
And all things in their time will follow - oh
If we take the time to find it
We can help define a way
Uncharted

Code of ethics, feel it
Stand, be counted
Life is only what we make it
So don't fake it
Just make it right

Code of ethics, live it
Stand, be counted
Life is only what we make it
So don't fake it
Just make it right

Saints and sinners, come one, come all
(have a little revival)
Losers, winners, answer my call
"cause right now the tent's up
(really it is)
The word's out -
(truly, it is)
An' has been since the dawn
(hear me tell ya)
The call's out
(really it is)
An' we're 'bout
(tendin' t'biz)
To git this meetin' on - hear me tellin' you
Brothers n' sisters who want to repent
(that's right!)
You'll find what you've been lookin' for right here in the tent

Cheryl's solo:
Lend an ear an' you'll see
"cause when it comes t' needin' savin' ain' nobody
Knows it better than me
I was so low that i know that only a miracle like this is
The only way t' heavenly bliss

It's really the truth, lawdy, i know it
I know it 'cuz i been taken through it
Now the spirits in me an' allowed the lord
T'win me, i can testify to it

Sweet, sweet the angel's song
Sweet the feelin' i been searchin' for
For ever so long
I never again imagine livin' life
Like i was livin' when i lived wrong

Git ready
(sing)
Here they come! the choir's all set
Be steady
(pray)
See the people fillin' them pews
Be willin'
(all)
To announce without a regret
It's thrillin'!
(day)
Tell the world the wonderful news

Folks are troopin' in from far 'n near
F' news that they can hardly wait to hear
They're nearly starved 'cause they're waitin'
For food for the soul, yeah

Starved 'cause they're waitin' for what will not grow old

Preacher's openin' up the book
He's gonna pause awhile an' take a look
'n then he'll start tellin' everyone
'jes how t' do, yeah

Start tellin' everyone jus' what's true, yeah

Sister emmy lou done gone t' shoutin'
An jumpin' 'cause she feels the spirit
The congregation's stompin' it's feet
An' everybody's movin' outta their seat
They really gonna get this meetin' on
An' praise the lord until the dawn

(yeah) - hear that preacher spread the word
(hear that preacher)
'cause its the greatest word you ever heard
He's our teacher
When he says "i'm callin' sinners right now you hear?
I'm callin' sinners right to me"
When ol' satan grabs your soul
When he grabs you
It takes the lord's true word to break his hold,
Trouble nabs you
So i say, "you got to listen mostly to me.
You got to listen closely."

Don't let the devil catch y' nappin'
Gotta' keep the vigil every minute
Or the devil surely git you

"watch your step 'n how you act
Watch what you do
Mister scratch is here, an' that's a fact
He wants you too
If anyone can stop him, i can
That's why i'm the preacher man"

We hear the word
We hear your voice
We know there really isn't any other choice

Head f'heaven t'day
(we're on the gospel train)
We can show you the way
(relieve all strain)
Leave your cares and your woes
(yes!)
Heaven knows
(yes!)
Y' dodge that devil in his fine fancy clothes
(yes!)
Come git aboard
(we still got space)
Hear the word of the lord
(we saved your place)
Save your soul while y'can
(yes!)
Sinner man
(yes!)
Git on as fast as you can

(repeat)

You've heard the sermon sublime
Down south camp meetin' time!

Down on the corner there's a reason to smile
When those evenin' shadows fall
Some kinda feelin' that it's hard to deny
Once the neon lights start to call
People out there searchin' for action
Daytime distraction slippin' right on by

Tonight, let's taste the spice of life
Keep it sweet until the mornin' light
Watch fantasy unfold
And let the lovin' flow

Caught in the madness of a summer romance
At a moonlight rendezvous
Lost in the spirit of a sensual dance
That can cast a spell over you
All you need's a night to remember
Flyin' together on the highest high

Tonight, let's taste the spice of life
A little music and some candlelight
Put passion in control
And let the lovin' flow

Could be the start of a million dreams we share
So lay back in the feelin' let the evenin' take you there

All we need is a night to remember
Flyin' together on the highest high

Tonight, let's taste the spice of life
A little music and some candlelight
Put passion in control
And let the lovin' flow
All night we'll taste the spice of life
Keep it sweet until the mornin' light
Watch fantasy unfold
That's the only way to go

Turnin' back the hands of time
Holdin' on to misty memories
Chasin' shadows thru the night
Tryin' to find that happy ending
Reaching out for another chance at heaven
We can still find the way if we try

You gotta believe in the mystery
How it used to be
We were more than lonely drifters in the dark
Oh i can remember the sun inside
When love held us tight
Can't you see i need that magic in my heart
Instead of it tearing apart

Diamonds shinin' in the night
Lyin' soft and warm together
Only images survive
Can't this dream go on forever?
There is still time to lock away the sadness
Let the secrets of love start to smile

It's only believin' the mystery
Like it used to be
Baby bring back all the passion to my life
Oh don't you remember the tender days
All the love we made
Can't we feel that warm sensation here tonight, oh....

Lonely spirits seem to whisper in the wind
It's a silent song that's never meant to be
Since the dawn of time the mystery never ends
We can find forever
If we let love rise again

Won't you reach for another
Chance at heaven
We can still find the way if we try

It's only believin' in the mystery
How it used to be
Baby bring back all the passion to my life
Oh cause i can remember the tender days
All the love we made
I need to feel that warm sensation - oh baby

Mystery
How it used to be
We were oh so much more
Oh baby, don't you remember (sun inside)
(held us tight)
Love held us tight
Turn around and look at me baby
Oh we gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back
Please take me there -
Oh i remember all the passion
Tender days - all the love we made
And i need to feel you baby....

Let me in, i've got to be near you
Let the song begin
Just let me hear you
Oh pretty baby don't leave me all
Alone on my knees

Oh please, you'll like me
I'll show you
What will be will be, just let me know you
One two now you and me could be so hot
We got a lot, tell me now why not?

Play me out, make me shout
Tell me what you really feel so i
Can see what you're about
I'll do all i can just to chase away your doubts
I'm here let me wash away your fear
Hey dear, let me hear what you're
Doing way over there

You see you'll like me i'll show you
What will be will be, just let me know you
One two now you and me could be so hot
We got a lot, tell me now why not?

Come on and jump the wire,
You give my soul desire
Send me baby
Be a little crazy! like the first
Time fall in love
We read it in the stars above

Repeat
