 Midnight At The Lost & Found » As letras [+ Engadir +] |
1. _ The Promised Land
I left my home in norfolk, virginia, california on my mind
I straddled that greyhound and rode him into raleigh, and on across caroline
I had motor trouble that turned into a struggle, halfway across alabama
And that 'hound broke down and left me all stranded in downtown birmingham
Right away i bought me a through train ticket, ridin' across mississippi clean
And i was on the midnight flyer out of birmingham, smokin' into new orleans
Somebody helped me get out of louisiana, just to help me get to houston town
There are people there who care a little 'bout me
And they won't let a poor boy down
Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit, they put luggage in my hand
And i woke up high over albuquerque on a jet to the promised land
Workin' on a t-bone steak, i had a party flyin' over to the golden state
When the pilot told me in thirteen minutes
He would get us at the terminal zone
Swing low, chariot, come down easy, taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings, and let me make it to the telephone
Los angeles, give me norfolk, virginia, tidewater 41009
And tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'
And the poor boy's on the line
(repeats 2x)
And tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'
And their big boy's on the line

2. _ Keep Driving
Another new york waltz at four a.m.,
In the canyons lost at night
The city's just a jail for me, full of high rise prison walls
And i'm riding through this darkness,
'cause i know there's life within
And i'm searching through the shadows,
Just to find that light again
Keep driving (keep driving),
Let the meter run
Keep driving (keep driving),
Oh the night's not really done
Keep driving
And i'm hanging on a memory, and i feel it in the air
I'm a prisoner of these lonely streets,
But i know i'll find you there
And oh lord, you look so pretty,
But you can see it in my eyes
And just before my tear will fall, oh you smile and get inside
It seems so real until the light turns green
Don't wake me up, don't ruin this dream, don't take me from my scene
Keep driving, keep driving,
Keep driving, keep driving,
I can't go home, don't take me home, i can't go home alone
They don't tell you when the music stops,
Or how the movie ends
Is it too late once the feeling's gone,
To back it up and start it all again?
Oh lord you look so pretty,
And you can see it in my eyes
And just before that tear will fall, oh you smile and get inside
(keep driving) keep driving, driving
I can't go home, don't take me home, i can't go home alone
(keep driving) let the meter run,
(keep driving) don't take me home
(keep driving) ooh, the night's still young
(keep driving) i gotta find someone,
(keep driving) i gotta find someone,
(keep driving) i gotta find someone,
(keep driving) i gotta find someone,
(keep driving) ooh find someone,
(keep driving) i gotta find someone,
(keep driving) find someone,
(keep driving) find someone,
(keep driving, keep driving, keep driving, keep driving, keep driving)

3. _ Fallen Angel
I took one look and something snapped inside,
I said i love your eyes
You took my heart, you took my breath away,
I felt my temperature rise
You said you've never loved a man this way
That it was heaven you were here to stay
Chorus:
And now you're just another fallen angel
And i hope that the fall didn't do you no harm
And now you're just another fallen angel
Falling into somebody else's arms
I took one look and i was paralyzed and was in paradise
I must admit that when i first laid eyes,
You had me hypnotized
You said i'm sorry but i don't say much
And i'm in heaven when i feel your touch
(chorus)
Follow your own road baby, i'll be there when you need me
To love and to comfort you
And what he got ain't enough to keep you in the air -
I'll be there
You said you've never loved a man this way
That it was heaven you were here to stay
(chorus)

4. _ Don't You Look At Me Like That
I still dream of you wakin' up, openin' your eyes
Like a little girl i once knew
Walkin' to the window, lookin' down on the street
You walk with me, and i walk with you
Well i thought it all over, it doesn't make any sense
Why did it fall apart, when it seemed so innocent?
You and i were like a light from a fallen star
You can't go back, you can't run away from your heart
Chorus:
Don't you look at me like that, 'cause i fall all over again
And i just can't hold on to your love anymore
Don't you look at me like that, 'cause i start all over again
And it just can't be, like it was once before
Don't stand there in the rain, lookin' like some long lost angel
You and i were like a light from a fallen star
You can't go back, you can't run away from your heart
Don't stand there in the rain, lookin' like some long lost angel
(no, i never could turn away from you)
(chorus repeats out)

5. _ Priscilla
You like ridin' around with your big brother, in your uncle's custom van
You wanna bleach your hair so bad, but your mama don't understand
Hangin' around by the monument, dancin' to the radio
You got a memory even shorter than your dress
But there's nothin' that you don't know
Chorus:
Priscilla, priscilla, nearly sixteen but they treat you like a kid
Priscilla, priscilla, they're gonna kill ya for what you did
Cuttin' class with a backstage pass, and always skippin' lunch
Ya put your hand on the knees of the boys, and daddy's vodka in the punch
Learned how to jump start your grandma's car, how to french inhale your kools
And now you know that breakin' hearts is easy as breakin' the rules
(chorus)
You don't remember no revolution, you don't belong to no baby boom
Just you and your headphones, dreamin' in your pink bedroom
Strong girls break the records, and rich girls break their nails
Smart girls always know by heart, what some girls always fail
Bad little girls grow up to be good, and good girls finish last
But crazy girls don't care how they grow up, as long as they grow up fast
(chorus repeats out...)

6. _ If You Really Want To
You say you're all alone,
And after all the changes you've been through today
You can use a little tenderness, right now
Ok, i've been alone,
And i can understand the way you feel tonight
Maybe together we can charge it all right now
I can tell by the look in your tear-filled eyes
You need somebody you can hold onto
If you really want to, i'd love to hold you
If you really want to, then i'd love to be the body that you hold onto
You say, he broke your heart,
He left you crying, but he did not set you free
And now you feel like you can never love again
Ok, so let me know,
It's up to you how long you let his memory stay
And do you really wanna carry on this way
I can tell by the look in your tear-filled eyes
You need somebody you can hold onto
If you really want to, i'd love to hold you
If you really want to, then i'd love to be the body that you hold onto
If you really want to, if you really want to,
Then i really can't deny you
So many things you need to know, so many left to say
But you mean more than words i know,
I can help you chase the pain away
I can tell by the look in your tear-filled eyes
You need somebody you can hold onto
If you really want to, if you really want to
If you really want to, then i'd love to be the body that you hold onto
If you really want to, if you really want to,
Then i really can't deny you
If you really want to, if you really want to
If you really want to... (to fade)

7. _ Wolf At Your Door
Two a.m. with the lost and the lonely
Walkin' past the kids, comin' back from the party
Smiles on their faces, you remember so well how it was
Nights in the back of that buick that you got runnin'
Your baby by your side, told the whole world you're comin'
Chorus:
Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doin',
But so many fights
Trusted too many, believed too much,
Workin' your life to the bone
There's a wolf at your door,
He wants your money, wants your soul
A wolf at your door, you give it all, he wants more
There's a wolf at your door,
He says he's playin' for keeps
Breathin' down your neck, boy
It's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door
They'll take it away, when you're not lookin'
Look you in the eyes, tell you how good they're doin'
Smiles on their faces, are lies to keep you from knowin'
You're not guilty, you are the victim,
But you still pay for the crime
Don't look for trouble, it'll always find you in time
Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doin',
But so many fights
Trusted too many, relieved too much,
Workin' your life to the bone
There's a wolf at your door,
He says he's playin' for keeps
Breathin' down your neck, boy
It's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door
It won't be broken, i'll fight 'til i drop,
Blood burnin' hot in my veins
But they won't be satisfied until they take everything
(chorus repeats out...)

8. _ Razor's Edge
Never callin', unanswered letters,
How you been, feelin' better?
Never lookin', but you're hearin',
Never speakin', but you're feeling
All the silence, and it's wounding,
You're not healing, just concealing
Play the game, play the game
Chorus:
Oh brother to brother, all the blood runs red
Don't roll over, don't play dead
We're all livin' on the razor's edge
Oh brother to brother, all the blood runs ruby red
We're all victims of the razor's edge
All the rules don't mean a thing,
They're wasting time,
The mem'ries sting
Keep your image, plant that smile,
Answer questions, don't let on
Make up stories all put on,
That's your life, oh,
Your life is gone
(chorus)
You see you're losing, yet you still try
The game just a'watches your life go by
You're playin' well,
You're playin' - why?
Oh, play the game
You see you're losing, yet you still try
The game just a'watches your life go by
You're playin' well,
Oh you're playin' the game
(chorus)

9. _ Midnight At The Lost And Found
Hey ricky, now mine is empty, how about one for you
We could sell it out together, seems tomorrow's overdue
Captain video, done went home, one pilot laid to rest
And dragon ladies now talk that talk, about who loves who, who loves best
Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line, it's midnight at the lost and found
Chorus:
Midnight at the lost and found, lost souls in the hunting ground
A remedy for all your ills, at the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found, midnight
Have a double, it's gettin' late, you'll get home, just rely on fate
Place just finally came alive, good old boys just arrived
Stools keep changin' faces, and the night just slips away
And like a long distance love affair, soon you've got to pay
Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line, it's midnight at the lost and found
(chorus)
Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away
Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today
Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away
Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today
Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round
Everybody get back in line, last call for the lost and found
(chorus repeats out...)
(chorus)

10. _ You Never Can Be Too Sure About That Girl
You sure know what your name is, you sure of where ya live
You know how much you make, ah, ya know how much you give
You know where your house is, you know which road to take
Ah, you're sure 'bout lots of things, look out there's one mistake
Chorus:
There just ain't no doubt, there's just one thing you're never too sure about
Never can be too sure about the girl
Oh, you never can be too sure about the girl
You leave her there, when you get back
She calls ya bill, when your name is jack
Never can be too sure about the girl
You know about the truth, you can see it in her eyes
One thing you know about love, it'll cut ya down to size
You hear what they tell you, do you do what you're told
And if they say yes, does it mean it's really so?
(chorus)
You're ready for the thrill tonight, you think you'll take it slow
But she's forgotten more, boy, than you will ever know
She calls you up in the middle of the night, she says she's lonesome and alone
You're all revved up, finally some place to go
You knock on that door - nobody's home
Never can be too sure about the girl
Ooh, you never can be too sure about the girl
You leave her there, when you get back
She calls ya bill, when your name is jack
Never can be too sure about the girl
Oh, you never can be too sure about the girl
She'll drive you crazy boy, oh, girl, no no
Never can be too sure about the girl
Never too sure, never too sure, never too sure, never too sure
Never too sure about that girl
No, you never can be too sure about the girl
Oh, you never can be too sure about the girl... (to fade)
