Helluva Band

Everyday I try to change my ways,
Still I find I'm calling your name.
Try to stop myself right from the very start,
But to be in love has torn me apart.

I've made it clear I want you near,
That constant fear that you might leave me standing here.
Can't help myself for this torturing inside,
Possessed by love, is the pain I cannot hide.

Chorus:
Feelings, reach out and hold me
Hold me close by your side.

So you see you've become a part of me
A part that helps me to live and breathe.
Now you've gone I need you more and more each day
A selfish need that won't go away

You took my life and the love I've stored,
You took it all and left me nothing but wanting more.
Can't help myself from this torturing inside,
Possessed by love is the pain I cannot hide.

Chorus:
Feelings, reach out and hold me
Hold me close by your side
Feelings, reach out and hold me
Hold me close by your side
Feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings
Feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings
Feelings, reach out and hold me
Hold me close by your side

And now I realize.........
The meaning of good-byes.

Magic swords with many lords for treasures that abound me.
Battle cries that fill the skies with pain.
Images I see, make my destiny.
Reflecting back to me, that which is to be.

At first I smelt the blood I felt for warriors that I've slain.
Feeling more the scars of war and pain.
Images I see, make my destiny.
Reflecting back to me, that which is to be.

Solo

Setting sights through horror nights,
For ships that sail the sea.
So I yearn, the dawns returning fleet.
Images I see, make my destiny
Images I see, make my destiny
Reflecting back to me, that which is to be.

*Instrumental*

Standin' there, by the old town clock.
With my coat in my hand,
I thought I'd go for a walk
Like my Momma said: "You'll never be poor",
But can you really be sure
You've got to help, doctor doctor, got to take the cure.

Strollin' round, I was hit by surprise,
By a bit of a dream,
That looked me straight in the eyes.
My Momma said: "You'll never be poor",
But can you really be sure?
You've got to help, doctor doctor, got to take the cure.

Everyday, I think I see her again,
With the passing of time,
My chances just never came.
Like my Momma said: "You'll never be poor",
But can you really be sure?
You've got to help, doctor doctor, got to take the cure.

Fourteen years, since I saw her that night,
Things are not quite the same,
My head just ain't feelin' right.
My Momma said: "You'll never be poor",
But can you really be sure?
You've gotta to help, doctor doctor, got to take the cure.

Oh you're right that I tried,
To tell myself that I'll be all right.
Feelin' poor, that's for sure,
I need a bowl of my Momma's cure.

Oh you're right that I tried,
To tell myself that I'll be all right,
Feelin' poor, that's for sure,
I need a bowl of my Momma's cure.

Runnin' everywhere
From the corner to the square
Goin' up and down around all day.
Lookin' for booze, got nothin' to lose,
Gonna show you what I wanna do.
Slash with fingers, feel my eyes, and rip them from my face.
Got the whole plan think I'm goin' more insane,
As I feel it comin' back again.
Pressure point is building higher 'n' higher.

Chorus:
Walls around me don't seem to charm me,
I've got to change their little minds.
Lies they told me, were lies to keep me here,
And turn around and you will find.
Bars surround me, still I feel free,
From all the madness locked outside of me.

Walking down the hall,
As I bumped into a wall, see white figures all right in tow.
Lookin' for more, so they shut all the doors,
And lock me in fore evermore.
Slash your throat with broken glass,
Get back where you belong.
Never going home, so I carry on alone,
No matter that they're insane.
Pressure point is building higher 'n' higher.

Repeat Chorus

Solo

Repeat Chorus

Since I've been here, I see they're really right,
Lock the madness outside.
Bars surround me, still I feel free,
All around me is insane......
