Walk the Fire

When I saw you walking by tonight
I thought I'd lose my mind
The way you walk, the way you talk
The way you dress so fine
Won't you move your body over here
And take a look at mine?
'Cause I got the glue, gonna stick to you
And together we will rhyme
Walk the Fire, baby give me all you've got
My desire is to see you hot to trot
Walk the Fire, baby do it all for me
My desire is to set your spirit free
When I started to dance I was in a trance
And I fell into your arms
Looked in your eyes, it was no surprise
When you filled me with your charms
Knew from the start you had my heart
You didn't have to try
But I know the truth, you want me, too
And you'd gladly give your life
Sex your spirit free
Sex your spirit free
(etc)
Saw you walking by tonight
My my, dressed so fine
Move your body close to mine
My my, together we will rhyme

Just Say Yes

Sometimes you need to take your time
To think about something I've said
That's OK baby, I don't mind
Bounce it around in your head
But don't take forever
Trying to think of something clever to say
Just Say Yes
I know you know I think you think too much
And that time you hesitate
The conversation's left you in the dust
Your comeback comes too late
But don't take forever
Trying to think of something clever to say
You know you'll never spit it out
Just Say Yes
If ask you to carry me
And f I ask you to marry me
Well, don't make me get down on my knee
But don't take forever
Trying to think of something clever to say
You know you'll never spit it out
With all that doubt in your way
If you don't know what to say
Just Say Yes

Break the Chain and Run
03:35

She walks on a moss-like carpet
She tames at a touch
She sees the mother in the water
She has seen far too much
She lives in the hands of a stranger
She works for every bite
She was all alone in labor
With a child that would not fight
I am never ever goin' back
But she's still got one foot in the trap
Till she learns to Break the Chain and Run
She is just like that old cow
(I can see her standing like a wall)
She never had much choice
She has got to pull that rusty plow
(I don't think he's seeing her at all)
Till she hears her own voice sayin'
I am never ever goin' back . . .
She is walkin' on the black water
She kisses every white line
She is one step closer to freedom
She can almost feel the city lights
I am never ever goin' back . . .
She can see him in the water
And she know the time has come
To make a change in her direction
Not afraid of anyone
She was just her mother's daughter
Till she learned to Break the Chain and Run

Gone Are the Days

When you walk through the door I can see
The work written on your brow
I run my hand through your hair just to see
If I can bring you around
I'm tellin' you baby
We're gonna make it and live our dream
Gone Are the Days of our emptiness
Gone Are the Days of unhappiness
Now that we're together
We're gonna make it, baby, you and me, yeah
When I'm tired and life gets to me
Till I'm on the edge of a tear
You're nearby with an eye on me
And you whisper in my ear
I'm tellin' you baby
We're gonna make in and live our dream
Gone Are the Days of our loneliness
Gone Are the Days of unholiness
Push it back forever
We're gonna make it, baby, you and me, yeah

Following
03:27

I been searching my life for you
And I don't know what I ever will do
When I wake up and find
I left you behind
A lifetime ago
Now everywhere I go
I keep seeing someone I think I should know
And it turns out to be
A reflection of me
From lifetime ago
How long will I ache for you
When will the past let me be
My heart stays awake for you
Am I Following you, or are you Following me
You're behind every opening door
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
It's that look in the eye
You know something I know
From a lifetime ago

Tragedy
04:06
|

|
She's freezing at the bus stop
And when it finally comes
She finds her toes are frozen
Frozen and numb
She's looked all day, she's looked all day
To see if he would show
But don't you know, don't you know
He had somewhere else to go
She's singing through the gleaming drops
Of rain on tinted glass
And what d'you know, don't you know
His car goes zooming past
"I must get off" she turns and hops
And runs in her high heels
And laughs at the indignities
Of how silly she feels
Sometimes you need a little Tragedy
A little Tragedy, Tragedy to bring you to your knees
Sometimes you need a little Tragedy
A little Tragedy, Tragedy yeah yeah
The light goes red, he stops and skids
She runs across in front
And then she fakes a double-take
And stops to wave a glove
He reaches for the car door
She's there in his front seat
Isn't it coincidence
How they should happen to meet
They talk awhile flirt and smile
He leaves to do some stuff
And once again in pouring rain
She's waiting for the bus
Now who's to blame? She's out of change
But she gets on anyway
Next thing you know, didn't you know
The inspector wants her name
