Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it's very nice With a step to your left and a flick to the right You catch that mirror way out west You know you're something special and you look like you're the best CHORUS Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twisting through a dusty land And when she shines she really shows you all she can Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV Two, of a billion stars, it means so much to me Like a birthday or a pretty view But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you CHORUS Hey now (wow), look at that, did he nearly run you down? At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive, you make me feel Alive, alive, alive I'll take my cahnce, 'cause luck is on my side I tell you something, I know what you're thinking I tell you seomthing, I know what you're thinking CHORUS Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand I might find her if I'm looking like I can Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land >From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: My Own Way I saw you at the airace yesterday April showers get out of my way Fear of flying, no not me I'm never bothered, what you say Someone's kid just lives for today I ain't your problem anyway CHORUS 'Cause I've got my own way I can find my own way 'Cause I've got my own way No. 1 public figure, what a pain Just puts another rattle in your brain Take another green but it's not the same Now you're on the Sandlane everyday Dancing with the bulls in any old way Running like a fox to keep up with me CHORUS I'm on 45th between Sixth and Broadway 7UP between Sixth and Broadway ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Lonely in Your Nightmare Even on the darkest night when empty promise means empty hand And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red When the lights of hope are fading quickly then look to me I'll be your homing angel, I'll be in your head Because you're lonely in your night mare, let me in And there's heat beneath your winter, let me in I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin Please tread gently on the ground When all around you earth turns to fire Only get a second chance when danger's on the wind Because you're lonely in your night mare, let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in And it's silent on your stone field, let me in Must be lucky weather when you find the kind of wind that you need C'mon, show me all the light and shade that made your name I know you've got it in your head, I've seen that look before You've built your refuge, turns you captive all the same Because you're lonely in your nightmare, let me in And it's barren in your garden, let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in Because it's silent in your stone field, let me in ANd you're lonely in your nightmare, let me in Because you've waited through your ice age, let me in Because you're so lonely in your nightmare, let me in And it's cold out on your stone range, let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Hungry Like the Wolf Darken the city, night is a wire Steam in the subway, earth is a afire Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo Woman, you want me, give me a sign And catch my breathing even closer behind Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd And I'm hungry like the wolf Straddle the line in discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt I'm after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I'm hungry like the wolf Stalked in the forest, too close to hide I'll be upon you by the moonlight side Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight You feel my heart, I'm just a moment behind Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found And I'm hungry like the wolf Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme I howl and I whine, I'm after you Mouth is alive, al lrunning inside And i'm hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Burning the ground, I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt, I'm after you I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found And I'm hungry like the wolf Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt, I'm after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I'm hungry like the wolf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Hold Back the Rain We're miles away from nowhere And the wind doesn't have a name So call it what you want to call it Still blows down the lane People tell me I haven't changed at all But I don't feel the same And I bet you've had that feeling, too You just can't laugh all the time CHORUS And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane Not on your own, so help me, please hold back the rain So what if the words ain't rhyming Did you think that it's just a game I probably didn't even say that right And I really don't give a damn Okay, go off and wander I'm guilty just the same Sometimes you're needed badly So please come back again CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: New Religion I've been now sauntering out and down the path sometime Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I knew Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things Telling me not there, man, it's no go Don't go there boy I need a reason I can't think without one now Too much learning got to show Call it treason Maybe catch her, don't know how Too many things, too much to know Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind Lady screaming, lady leave me out 'Cause sometimes people stare Coming down, electric chair And steaming crowds they gather and they shout Don't know why this evil bothers me So why is he trying to follow me? How many reasons do they need? I might just believe this time Take another chance boy, carry the fight You can take him if you're fast Didn't I say, if you're holdin' on You'd be laughing at the last I get along fine with them friends of mine But you have to make a choice You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time And it's us who make the noise I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun But someone sees the departmental lie You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife Only get one look before you die Don't know why this evil follows me So why does he try to bother me? How many reasons do they need? I might just be right this time Gotta take, pay the saints 'n' sinners In regulation hats 'n' scarves 'n' things Walking in formation down the lane They carry their cross, make a church bell ring Army majors pull a mean cool truth There, lying in a swimming pool Searching for the undeniable truth That a man is just a fool I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Last Chance on the Stairway I don't remember quite how I met you, wasn't long ago Just get a picture of sun In your eyes, the waves in your hair Maybe it's something said in a movie Or you could've said last night Just took me out on a limb And I don't really know what I'm doing here CHORUS And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide My beats so in time, can you look at me I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right So nearvous to say, tell me, can't you see If you want, I fall out forever I can't say no more...bebe dance with me And plase don't say leave it till later I've had my last chance on the stairway Funny, it's just like a scene out of Voltaire twisting out of sight 'Cause when all the curtains are pulled back We'll turn and see the circles we traced Ain't no game...when you're playing with fire It doesn't seem right that we fight So the party runs on all night CHORUS Wonder why Wonder why...what makes me rise so high Maybe it's something they put in your perfume Or the look in your eyes It could be the atmosphere sinking I don't even know what you're thinking Don't even know what you're drinking But it keeps this heaven alive CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Save a Prayer You saw me standing by the wall, corner of a main street And the lights are flashing on your window sill All alone ain't much fun, so you're looking for the thrill And you know just what it takes and where to go Don't save a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after Feel the breeze deep on the inside, look you down into the well If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire Take a chance (like all dreamers can't find another way) You don't have to dream it all, just live a day Don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after, save it till the morning after Pretty looking road, I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise, I'll melt the ice And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance But fear is in your soul Some people call it a one night stand But we can call it paradise Don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save a prayer 'til the morning after ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: The Chauffer OUt on the tar plains, the glides are moving All looking for a new place to drive You sit beside me, so newly charming Sweating dew drops glisten, freshing your side CHORUS The sun slips down bedding, heavy, blind The front of your dress all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Sing Blue Silver Way down the lane away, living for another day The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze Swim, seagull, in the empty sky on towards that western isle My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze CHORUS And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind To tear out from your eyes witha word to stiffen brooding lies But I'll only watch you leave me further behind CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
