High on the sacred mountain Up the seven thousand stairs In the golden light of autumn There was magic in the air Clouds surrounded the summit The wind blew strong and cold Among the silent temples And the writing carved in gold

And I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite Looking forward to a little afternoon delight Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting Sky rockets in flight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life Tryna make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah

There is a lake between sun and moon Not too many know about In the silence between whisper and shout The space between wonder and doubt

No, I can't forget tomorrow When I think of all my sorrows When I had you there but then I let you go And now it's only fair that I should let you know What you should know I can't live, if living is without you I can't live, I can't give any more Can't live, if living is without you I can't give, I can't give any more

They said, "Someday, you'll find all who love are blind Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, when your heart's on fire You must realize smoke gets in your eyes"

I don’t want the sun to shine I want to make love Just this magic in your eyes and in my heart I don’t know what I’m going to do - I can’t stop loving you I won’t stop ‘til break of dawn making love

We're on the train to Bangkok Aboard the Thailand Express We'll hit the stops along the way We only stop for the best

Take your baby by the hand And make her do a high handstand And take your baby by the heel And do the next thing that you feel We were so in phase In our dance hall days We were cool on craze When I, you and everyone we knew Could believe, do and share in what was true

I am made from the dust of the stars and the oceans flow in my veins Here I hide in the heart of the city like a stranger coming out of the rain the evening plane rises up from the runway over constellations of light I look down into a million houses and wonder what you’re doing tonight

Never heard of them Watched the video No idea who the lead singer is Googled them Saw the lead singer's name, went "hmmm..." Googled lead singer ...and yes I am surprised

I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself, and you're set I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way (born this way) Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way Baby, I was born this way (born this way) Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way Right track, baby, I was born this way

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must have been something you said I just died in your arms tonight

Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire, With just the briefest pause — The flooding through her memory, The echoes of old applause. She limps across the floor And closes her bedroom door…

Hot sun beating down Burning my feet just walking around Hot sun makin' me sweat Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet I can't dance I can't talk Only thing about me is the way I walk I can't dance I can't sing I'm just standing here selling everything

Drawn like moths, we drift into the city The timeless old attraction Cruising for the action Lit up like a firefly Just to feel the living night Some will sell their dreams for small desires Or lose the race to rats Get caught in ticking traps And start to dream of somewhere To relax their restless flight

He's not concerned with yesterday He knows constant change is here today He's noble enough to know what's right But weak enough not to choose it He's wise enough to win the world But fool enough to lose it

I'm sailing away Set an open course for the virgin sea 'Cause I've got to be free Free to face the life that's ahead of me On board, I'm the captain So climb aboard We'll search for tomorrow On every shore And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try To carry on

There is no political solution To our troubled evolution Have no faith in constitution There is no bloody revolution We are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world

Walk like a man, talk like a man Walk like a man, my son No woman's worth crawlin' on the earth So walk like a man, my son

Oh Lord, won't you buy me A Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches I must make amends I worked hard all my lifetime No help from my friends Oh Lord, won't you buy me A Mercedes Benz?

Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms Don't you think you want someone to talk to? Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

I turn my back to the wind To catch my breath Before I start off again Driven on Without a moment to spend To pass an evening With a drink and a friend
