O let’s begin with a simple game
Where you call my name
But no, you don’t even try
You have another face
You’re gonna walk on by
You hold a heavy soul for too long, too long
Let go my tired one
They’re all gone, they’re all gone
And oh, I surmise
You’ll have another fate
When you’re in the light
But no, you don’t even try
You’re in another place
Your’re gonna walk on by
You hold a heavy soul for too long, too long
Let go my tired one
They’re all gone, they’re all gone

End Game

You need a quick high when it’s do or die
And your locked with the ghost in your room
So you find an old pic
And ain’t it slick when you’re caught in the light of the moon?
And when did she wear that velvet gown? And why did she stand alone?
And why are these nights so amplified
When there’s nothing left to hold?
Turn around now, the game is over
Nobody holds the dice
Go celebrate with another lover
And bask in the light of her eyes
If you decide that the fight is over
Nobody pays the price
So turn around now, the game is over
It ends in the light of her eyes
You write another letter
But one you’ll never send her
‘Cuz it’s signed by the ghost in your room
You strike it all out, without a shout
She’ll find the time soon
And when did you learn to fear the crowd? And why do you stand alone?
And why are these nights so amplified
When there’s nothing left to hold?
Turn around now, the game is over
Nobody holds the dice
Go celebrate with another lover
And bask in the light of her eyes
If you decide that the fight is over
Nobody pays the price
Turn around now, the game is over
It ends in the light of her eyes

Runnin’ from all the hype
You know the type—
Sold on the underground
But Johnny comes callin’ Friday night
He’s out-of-sight
Tell him you’ll be right down
Sister, you’re oh so rock-n’-roll-will-save-my-soul
You laid it all on the line
Johnny you sold your Friday night
For second sight
She’s leaving you on the line
Let’s go, let’s go
Drive a fast one and drink coka cola
And hold out your hand
I’m gonna lead you to the promise land
Don’t give a damn
Sing “holy, holy, hallelujah”
Let’s go, let’s go
Join the other side, it’s another high

Darker Train

Baby if you don’t wanna go for a ride
Get off the line
Don’t waste our time
Another player will discover the high
A new attack, we’re goin’ fast
So make it last, dole out the cash
And don’t look back
Never look back
Maybe if you don’t wanna turn on the light
Don’t go inside, we’re satisfied
Moon’s on the rise and we’ve got nothin’ to hide
Step on the gas, gone in a flash
Like breaking glass, forget the past
And don’t look back
Never look back
We’re going faster... We’re going faster...
Baby if you don’t have the nerve for this
Well... it’s just as well
We live to tell, riding a train destined for
Heaven and Hell
Take up the slack, jump in the back
Turn up the track, let’s fade to black
And don’t look back
Never look back

Steady she goes
Everyone knows
What is happening here
Steady she goes
Everyone knows
What is happening here
You’ve got to be afraid
I’ve got to be afraid
You’ve got to be afraid now
You’ve got to be afraid
I’ve got to be afraid
You’ve got to be afraid now
Steady she goes
Everyone knows
What is happening here
Steady she goes
In borrowed clothes
Nobody wants to come near
Well, you’ve got to be afraid
I’ve got to be afraid
You’ve got to be afraid now
You’ve got to be afraid
I’ve got to be afraid
You’ve got to be afraid now

Penny’s on the go, she never says no
See a Penny, pick her up, ask her what
she knows
Penny’s on the run with a double barrel gun
See her on the street and you’ll never see the sun
Penny so high, Penny so low
We start in double time but end it with a
slow-down... on the ground...
Penny Penny, Money Money
Penny where are you?
Right down for a second round...
Penny Penny, Money Money
Penny where are you?
Wait now
Money to the left, money to the left, money to the left
Now money to the right, y’all
Shake it to the left, shake it to the left, shake it to the left
Now take it to the right, y’all
Maybe we’re high, maybe we’re low
We can supply if you’re looking for a
slow-down... on the ground...
Penny Penny, Money Money
Penny where are you?
Right down for a second round...
Penny Penny, Money Money
Penny where are you?
Pay now
Penny Penny, Money Money
Penny where are you...

Time your fate
With her heartbeat
Night and day
In stereo
When the winter comes
We sing all night long
When the winter comes
We sing all night long
Somewhere it’s a holiday, oh let’s go there
Find your way
With her heartbeat
Night and day
On the radio
When the winter comes
We sing all night long
When the winter comes
We sing all night long
Somewhere it’s a holiday, oh let’s go there

House of Aces

He’ll cut you in and he’ll cut you out
with a smile
With a lovely face and a hidden ace
Don’t play the liar, no
‘Cuz you cannot fight what you cannot find
in his desire
Such a lovely face and a certain grace
But he’s just a liar
He’ll sign you up and then he’ll turn you ‘round, like a child
With his even pace, he’s got time to waste
But you’re on the wire, oh
Still you cannot fight what you cannot find in your desire
Oh my lovely face go find your hidden ace
‘Cuz we’re all on fire

Firetide

Who will tell you what they will sell you
When the goods go under the ground
Who will show you the way to the new you
When the roads become filled with sound
You’re a firetide
And it’s a lonely ride
Such familiar eyes
Let’s be civilized
Talk, talk, what a shock, oh what a bore
Luck, luck, what a fuck, you’re such a whore
Fine, fine, out of mind, I see the door
Time, time, out of time
You have the floor
When you’re tired who stokes the fire
Who will shake you up from your bed
When you’re tired, we build the fire
We will shake it up in the end
You’re a firetide
And it’s a lonely ride
Such familiar eyes
Let’s be civilized
Talk, talk, what a shock, oh what a bore
Luck, luck, what a fuck, you’re such a whore
Fine, fine, out of mind, I see the door
Time, time, out of time
You have the floor

Strange Game

So you cut off your hair
And threw all the boys away
Well you don’t need ‘em,
They’re just in the way
And you shake it at night with the freaks
Until the break of day
It’s a strange game, it’s a holiday
Don’t let the rest of them pull you down tonight
I am by your side
Come on, let’s go, let’s go
Don’t take the fall tonight
Time is on your side
So you learn all your lines
But you always get turned away
Well you don’t need ‘em,
There ain’t nothin’ to say
And you swallow your pride
To be tried by the latest craze
Such a strange game,
Now wouldn’t ya say?
Don’t let the rest of them pull you down tonight
I am on your side
Come on, come on, let’s go
Don’t take the fall tonight
Time is on your side
I said don’t let the rest of them pull you down tonight
I am by your side
Come on, come on, let’s go
Don’t take the fall tonight
Time is on your side
You’re tryin’ child, to be right
But it’s all right, it’s all right who you are
You’re tryin’ child, to be right
But it’s all right, it’s all right who you are
