HORIZONTAL HEALING

I feel so sick
I can’t get it right
I toss and turn
All thru the night
I just can’t
Forget the feeling
What I need is
Horizontal healing

I can’t sleep
Don’t want to eat
I feel worn
I feel beat
I try and try
Can’t get the meaning
What I need is
Horizontal healing

You make me laugh
You make me cry
Without you
I think I’ll die
I can’t stand still
I feel like kneeling
What I need is
Horizontal healing.

SEX AND THE SIMPLE MIND

I can’t make the pieces fit
I don’t know what I will find
Things get so confusing
On sex and the simple mind

I can’t see what’s ahead
I can’t see what’s behind
Will I ever get a grip
On sex and the simple mind

Sometimes I think that lovers
Are not like me, not blind
I can’t see where I’m going
With sex and the simple mind

Girls are all around me
Their wishes not defined
I can’t understand them
With sex and the simple mind

All my friends seem happy
I need someone who’s kind
Someone to take me in hand
For sex and the simple mind.

DINING AT THE Y

My friends talk of this and that
Staying thin, avoiding fat
So I listen with half an ear
Pack of chips, glass of beer
They can’t see how I’m so thin
So they call me big slim Jim
But tonight when they eat their pie
I’ll be dining at The Y

Some people like to swallow pills
Ride their bikes, run up hills
Others like to go to class
Work on thighs and tits and ass
Me I like to play it cool
My momma didn’t raise no fool
So I say with happy sigh
Tonight I’ll be dining at The Y

Calories don’t come into it
I don’t try, not one bit
Others like to bump and grind
I never pay them any mind
When midnight strokes across the square
I know that I should be elsewhere
So if they ask don’t tell a lie
Say that I’m dining at The Y.

TOOK MY BREATH AWAY

One night on the downtown freeway
I took the wrong turning home
Went past burnt out buildings
Man, I felt alone
Stopped off at a little bar room
To ask them the way
And I saw here standing there
She took my breath away

I stayed to talk to her
I stayed with her that night
Where can I find shelter
How can I do what’s right
Her hair was like the night time
Her smile was like the sun
And when she would love me
I felt my life’s begun

So here I am in Fresno
We’re both killing time
She works the local bar rooms
But I know she’s mine
My past is all behind me
Riches and the wishing well
I’ll spend my days with her
Life without her could be hell.

IN THE SHADOWS

In the shadows
I watch you
In the shadows
I hide
In the shadows
I love you
In the shadows
You lied

In the dawn
You were with me
In the dawn
You were there
In the dawn
I still love you
By the night
You weren’t there

In the half light
I lost you
In the half light
You’d gone
In the lifetime
That follows
My love
Will go on.

I WANNA DO IT NOW

Do it on the desk
Do it in the dark
That’s how I like it best
Do it in the bedroom
Do it in the hall
Do it in the kitchen
Do it up the wall
I wanna do it
Just do it

I wanna do it here
Do it with you
Do it all night long
Do it just us two
Do it in the garden
Do it in the car
Do it in the cupboard
Do it in the park
I wanna do it
Just do it.

IT’S IN MY GENES

You asked me why
I’m not like you
You asked me what
I’m gonna do
You tell me not
To make a scene
I can’t help it
It’s in my genes

You walk to me
Like I’m insane
You talk to me
Like it’s a pain
You talk to me
Here in my dreams
I can’t help it
It’s in my genes

You tell me to
Settle down
You tell me that
I’m a clown
You tell me
That I shouldn’t dream
I can’t help it
It’s in my genes

You don’t like me
Around your child
You just think that
I’m running wild
When she’s with me
She lost her jeans
She can’t help it
She’s got my genes.

BABYLON NIGHTS

Babylon nights
How I miss you
In my room
I call to you
Babylon days
Spent with you
Everyday
Something new

Babylon nights
You and me
City lights
Set us free
Babylon days
‘neath the sun
No one pays
Born to run

Babylon nights
Just us alone
See the dawn
Walking home
Babylon days
Nights so long
Come with me
Can’t go wrong.

THE WHOLE WORLD’S WATCHING

The whole world’s watching
Whilst you try to break us down
So take your tanks
Your city banks
Before we tear them down

The whole world’s watching
While you trample on the weak
But you just wait
It’s not too late
We won’t turn the other cheek

The whole world’s watching
While you rob our friends
But hold on tight
Soon comes the night
You’ll see how your world ends

The whole world’s watching
They’re watching you and me
Today you’re strong
But not for long
Tomorrow belongs to me.

EVERYTHING I AM

Ev’rything I am
I am because of you
Ev’rything I do
I do because of you
Because I love you
Oh, how I love you

Ev’ry breath I take
I take because of you
Ev’ry dream I dream
I dream about you
Because I love you
Oh, how I love you

Ev’ry step I take
I take to get to you
Ev’rything I make
I make just for you
Because I love you
Oh, how I love you.

HIGH AND DRY

Big city
Dark night
Gotta run
Gotta fight
Get no rest
See no sky
‘Cos I’m left
High and dry

High high and dry
Broke and don’t know why
I never catch your eye
And so you leave me high and dry

Got no work
Got no hope
Got no money
Got no dope
Need a chance
A chance to fly
But I’m here
High and dry

High high and dry
Broke and don’t know why
I never catch your eye
And so you leave me high and dry

I need you
To pull me thru
No one else
Does it like you
Come with me
Let’s learn to fly
Leave behind
The high and dry.

AND I NEED YOUR LOVE

And down this lonely road I go
No hope is left inside of me
I don’t know where I want to go
I don’t know what I want to be
I only see what’s going wrong
I never see what’s going right
I never see the golden sun
I walk the streets alone at night

And I need your love
And I need your love
And I need your love
Tonight

I don’t know why you had to leave me
I don’t know why you had to go
I only know the pain of heartbreak
I only want somewhere to go
I see the darkness that surrounds me
I need you near to bring me light
But I know you’ve gone forever
And only you can make things right

And I need your love
And I need your love
And I need your love
Tonight

And I need your love
And I need your love
And I need your love
Tonight.
