Well I'm searchin' for this feelin'
That's crawlin' in my veins
I'm on the inside, i wanna get out
Oh I need that cure, there ain't no doubt

Oh, well it feels so good
Up and down and in and out, let's make this understood
Oh, 'cause I'm comin' on for you now

I got that wicked sensation
That's crawlin' all over me
I got that wicked sensation
You know that's all I ever need
When I get down on my knees
Gotta give in, gotta put it out

Well there's no reason
For the way you make me feel
It must be pure desire
But my soul, you know it's burnin' like a flame
My heart just fills with fire

Oh, well it feels so good, up and down and in and out
Let's make this understood
Oh, 'cause I'm comin' on for you now

I got that wicked sensation
That's crawlin' in my veins
I got that wicked sensation
You know that's all i ever need
When I get down on my knees

Gotta give in, gotta put it out, oh shake my soul

Oh, well it feels so good
Up and down and in and out
Let's make this understood
'Cause I'm comin' on for you now

I got that wicked sensation
That's crawlin' all over me
I got that wicked sensation
You know that's all I ever need
When I get down on my knees
I got that wicked sensation
Wicked, wicked, wicked

How you shake this poor boy's soul, oh, how you shake it girl
How you do me in, how you do me in, oh, it's my soul, oh, it's my soul
It burns, it burns it yearns, it's gotta come out, it's gotta come out
Come out, come out, come out, come out, come out
Oh you know that devil's in my soul, well

I was lonely and I was searchin' for the sun
Your one and only, took a trip to get undone
Well my high low mam, don't you give me the blues
Take me to the river where I can let it loose
All the lovin', ah like you never knew

Out back to where the dust grows old
Where the spirits fly so high
It was a cold dark night, and I swear we was feelin' right
As our bones took us down, straight to the light

I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love
I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love

All emotions, slip through my hands
Like an ocean movin', rollin' in on the sand
A sea of love, honey, where you been
My love's been knockin' buy you ain't in
Where's my lover

Out back to where the dust grows old
Where the spirits never die
That cold dark night, but I know we was feelin' right
As we roll through the hours, down into the light

I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love
I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love

Days are long and the nights run deeper
Out back where the spirits never die

I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love
I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love

Well my sweet sister mercy
What have you done?
You made a mess of me
And now I'm so undone
Don't you like, don't you care
Don't you leave me in deep despair
Oh, it feels like I'm driftin'...

Just a fool in the pourin' rain
Locked out behind closed doors
Will you be waiting to catch my fall?
You know I'll search for a light
That will lead me to heaven

Sweet sister mercy
Where are you now
Sweet sister mercy

High road to nowhere
And I'm leavin' very soon
Tomorrow, you say
But it's just like yesterday
My sense of direction's confused
You know I'll plead to the morning light
That wherever's wrong
She would make it right

Please soul sister, hear my plea
I'll keep searchin' for a light
That will lead me to heaven

Sweet sister mercy
Where are you now
Sweet sister mercy

Sweet sister mercy
Where are you now
Sweet sister mercy
Where are you now
Sweet sister mercy
Will you be there to catch my fall?
Sweet sister mercy
'Cause I'll keep searchin' for a lifetime
That will lead me, that will lead me
Lead me to heaven
Sweet sister mercy
Sweet sister, sweet sister mercy
Sweet sister mercy

Every night when you go out walking
Every step you take keeps me yearning for some more
Those green cat-eyes pull me down inside
And yo jelly liyups can't push me away, no (note: what the hell is a liyup?)

'Cause baby, when we're alone
Everything's alright
And baby, right or wrong
Lemme give ya some lovin' all my own

That's all I want, you know it's all I need
You know that one thang that brings me to my knees
That's all I want, you know thats all I need
Is to call you

Yeah, you know it seems pretty crazy
When your dad told me I was headed for the killin' floor
But I just can't deny what I feel inside
Yeah, you know when twelve rolls around
I'll be knocking at your bedroom door

'Cause baby, when we're alone
Everything's just right
And baby, right or wrong
Lemme show ya some lovin' all my own

That's all I want, you know it's all I need
You know that one thang that brings me to my knees
That's all I want, you know it's all I need
Is to call you all my own

'Cause baby, when we're alone
Yeah, everything's alright
And baby, right or wrong
Lemme give ya some lovin' all my own

That's all I want, you know it's all I need
You know that one thang that brings me to my knees
That's all I want, you know it's all I need
Is that one thing to call my own

That's all I want, you know it's all I need
You know that one thang that brings me to my knees
That's all I want, you know it's all I need
Is to call you all my own

There ain't no tale to the story
'Cause it's all been done before
A finger that leads you
The fate that sees you
And who's to blame for it all, yeah
Flying high on cloud nine
Take me to your star
Won't you join me on the velvet glide
And open up your lovin' arms

'Cause I'm a hellchild
Howlin' at the moon
'Cause I'm a hellchild, hellchild
Oh, under the midnight moon

Spend my time just to drink my wine
You know I can't get higher
Foolish you think, but it is what it is
I've tasted pure desire
Imagination oh so wild
Glitters like a dancing flame
But I had my freedom, and well it tasted so good
Alright..

'Cause I'm a hellchild
Howlin' at the moon
'Cause I'm a hellchild, hellchild
Oh, under the midnight moon

My world might be up and down
And my head might be spinning
Round and round where I don't know
But my end might be just the beginning

'Cause I'm a hellchild
Howlin' at the moon
'Cause I'm ahellchild, hellchild
Oh, under the midnight moon
'Cause I'm ahellchild
Howlin' at the moon
Ain't good for nothin'
That's right, ain't good for nothing
Hear what I say

Awaiting for a shadow to draw near my bned
Shakin' off thoughts that keep my head
She's a blackbird that swallows
Ruler of my world
Woman full of deception
Stole my heart with just a word

So strange to me, but she sends shivers through my spine
So strange it seems, oh she might be evil
But she's mine, all mine

She's so evil but she's mine
She's so evil but she's mine
I'll say it again now

Oh, lady brings me sorrows
Loves to push my mind to edge
Edge of an endless sea, oh
Where the skies are black, she'll follows me
Her evil eye won't let me be
You know that little devil's love take care of me

So strange to me, but she sends shivers through my spine
So strange it seems, oh she might be evil
But she's mine, all mine

She's so evil but she's mine
She's so evil but she's mine
I'll say it again, now
She got a hold on me
A black bird in heat
Oh lady of my sorrows

In a dark and smokey room
A shade of webs that leads you to
A tattered stage thats worn and gray
Another gorl sweats for another day's wage

Oh under a silver moon
She leaves her thoughts behind
Yesterday's long gone cold
The hourglass of time
Lays heavy on her mind

Child, blessed with a smile
Shivers like a snake, the way she moves
Wild, oh so wild
Runnin' from her mind, but she always seems to lose

Under a silver moon, her eyes will never lie
She's on a trip so long
The hourglass of time lays heavy on her mind
And there ain't nothin' you can do

Dance, bitch, dance
'Til there's nothing left to hide
Dance, bitch, dance
Your mother should have taught you right
So wipe your tears away

Yeah, nice an' easy now, do it

Under a silver moon, her eyes will never lie
She's on a trip so long
The hourglass of time lays heavy on her mind
And there ain't nothin' you can do

Dance, bitch, dance
'Til there's nothing left to hide
Dance, bitch, dance
Your mother should have taught you right
So wipe your tears away

Dance, bitch, dance
'Til there's nothing left to hide
Dance, bitch, dance
Yesterday's long gone cold
Dance, bitch, dance
Your mother should have taught you right

So ya love your money, honey, love the dope
Fill your dreams with a thousand hopes
You know I just don't know
What you're looking for, oh
And now's the time, but its' just a little too late

Shy, she was shy
She took a one way ticket on an endless ride
Well it's on and on
She ain't never coming down
Right, it's alright
Being hungry child
You know it ain't no crime
Her burning fire, just looking for a better way

Oh, but as the time seems to pass her by
And the memories fade away

Rain
As it pours in her world
Rain
Oh how she weeps without a sound

Smokeless nights, as you're out on your own
When you stop and wonder
If your heart has turned to stone
Then you take a drag from your smoke
And blow your thoughts away

But time and time as you look around
As to what you see

Rain
As it pours in her world
Rain
Oh how she weeps without a sound

But she still wants more
Oooh, yeah, yeah
Things will never change

Shame, lust
How you walk around with your head above the clouds
Oooh, yeah, yeah
And you're never coming down

Rain
As it pours in her world
Rain
Oh how she weeps without a sound

You made your first mistake
The way you let me down
You're always on the make honey
Fire burning in my soul
It cuts me deep inside
Talking like you just don't care
You know that ain't right

'Cause I've had enough of walking out that door
I realize you'll never change

Never said I'd be no bed of roses
You know all through the love an'
Pain you keep me hanging on
You keep me hanging on
All out of reasons of you wasting my
Time and takin' my pride
To me you'll never change

You were the one to blame
You set my soul to flame
Comin' on like potion that shows me love
An' brngs me pain
Tearin' out my heart inside is how you
Get your kicks
But I' just your lover junkie
Girl I need your fix

'Cause I had enough of walking out that door
I realize you'll never change

Never said I'd be no bed of roses
You know all through the love an'
Pain you keep me hanging on
You keep me hanging on
All out of reasons of you wasting my
Time and takin' my pride
To me you'll never change

'Cause I had enough of walking out that door
I realize that you'll never change

Never said I'd be no bed of roses
You know all through the love an'
Pain you keep me hanging on
You keep me hanging on
All out of reasons of you wasting my
Time and takin' my pride
To me you'll never change

Morning comes too soon
Another day unfolds and the rains are cold
That fall on you
I wanna tell you
But I can't seem to get it
Can't seem to get it right
Oh, it's killing me
I realize that it cuts me deep inside
When I can feel in my soul
This empty whole you took from me
Cause on and on
You keep tellin' me the things that make you smile
If I could hold you somehow
And show you now
That the tears in vain will never ease the pain

Oh, I, I can only see
As far as you
You're never to far away
Oh my eyes can only see
What I feel for you

I could fly the heavens
Although the distance may be far
I'm just one dream away
And the tears will say
That there's no turning back
Quiet in my thoughts
Safe within myself
I reach out to a time
When you laid by my side
And oh how it felt so right
Don't you even worry now

Through these eyes

In wheels of no return
And dreams that fade along the way
Never to grow old, and change
Shades of long memories
The times that I've been on my knees
I try to believe in somethin'
But i call out to no one

You know that I'll wait for you, I will follow
Gor a million years
To lead me through this world of sorrows
For a million years

In this world of heartless desires
I try to understand
The church of new love's waiting
To take us by the hand
Just believe, believe in somethin'
No matter if it's love or money
'Cause whatever gets you through your life
Is alright, it's alright by me

You know that I'll wait for you, I will follow
For a million years
To lead me through this world of sorrows
For a million years

'Til the skies come falling down
'Til the walls come crumbling down
I'll wait, wait for you

You know that I'll wait for you, I will follow
For a million years
To lead me through this world of sorrows
For a million years

'Til the skies come falling down
'Til I pick myself up from the ground
I'll wait, wait for you

He was a back alley street fightin man
He just do what he please
A bad struttin mother, a sucker for
His gun and his needs

Yeah, mad at the world
Thrown down and tied to the whippin'
Post, oh he's a lost soul
Who wants it all

You know a poor boy with muddy hands
Ain't got no childhood memories
There's no way out for this punk called

Street fightin' man
Yeah, street fightin man

Well there's a black cloud that covers
The city a shadow he stands
Taken through the darkest alleyways and
Taught fist, blood, and greed
And nothing more

Sad at the world
Like a heart that bleeds with a cut
Od a knife oh he's a lost soul
Who wants it all
Mad at the world
Poor souls how no respect
For no one at all

Oh I won't be coming home
No I won't
Street fightin' man

He was a back alley street fightin' man
He just do what he please
For ever to be damned
Just a beggar, begging on his knees
You know it;s down, down, down
To the depths of his soul
There ain't no loving home man
For tha street fightin' man
Street fightin' man
And mad at the world
No I won't be coming
I won't be coming
Home
