Lyrics


1. DEVIL'S PARTY

At the devil's party nothing's a sin
At the devil's party we know where you've been
If we're all right then tell me who's wrong
The love in a war, where do we belong?

I might believe it's love, you might believe it's war

At the devil's party there's no light from the sun
At the devil's party, now, life's a loaded gun
More or less? No, less is more
Go on and be my guest
Where do we belong?

I might believe it's love, you might live a little more

Dreams of yours, dreams of mine
Dreams of all that shine on the other side, on the other side

At the devil's party watch them stare in vain
At the devil's party, now, you're no friend of mine
Oh, lonely days of the road to excess
When you're on fire you burn like the rest

I might believe it's love, and you might believe it's war
Why don't we take a little less? Then we could live a little more

Dreams of yours, dreams of mine
Dreams of all that breathe on the other side, on the other side


2. PRETTY VEGAS

Falling asleep at the wheel again baby
You're drifting over the line (the line) yeah
Your hands are tight but you're losing grip quickly
Fix me, can you read the signs?

Thumbing your way to Vegas, dirty
And dreaming of the other side
Save your tears and laughter
Because it doesn't matter what you find

It ain't pretty
After the show
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you
With no place to go
If you think you need it
Here's the place to feed it
But it ain't pretty

With everything that you do is wrong
And you fell like you can barely survive yeah
When those around you are crumbling downwards
Buried in the sunset alive

Thumbing your way to Vegas, dirty
And screaming like you're back from hell
Save your dreams and occupations
Cos' it doesn't matter what you sell

It ain't pretty
After the show
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you
With no place to go
If you think you want it
Here's the place to get it
But it ain't pretty

The party's over and the road is long
The party's over and we're moving on
The party's over and the road is long

So if you think you want it
Then just come out and say it
It aint pretty

Falling asleep at the wheel again baby
You're drifting over the line (the line)
You're hands are tight but you're losing grip quickly
Fix me, can you read the signs

Thumbing your way to Vegas, dirty
And dreaming like you're outta control
Save your tears and laughter
Because this is the ride
And this is the show

It ain't pretty
After the show
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you
With no place to go
So if you think you want it
Just come in and get it
It ain't pretty


3. AFTERGLOW

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest


4. HOT GIRLS

Looking out my window at some girl as I'm writing this
And I watch her eat a peach, the way she's biting it, biting it
And I probably shouldn't stare, but I am fighting it, fighting it
And I think that she's aware and kind of liking it, liking it

Hot girls, they can break me, break me
Hot girls, you know what you're doing
Now, hot girls, come and break me, break me
Hot girls, take me where you are going

On her motorbike, the way she's riding it, riding it
And she says it feels so good but she is hiding it, hiding it
Wet lips to cigarette and now she's striking it, lighting it
As she looks me in the eye, hell, she must know she's inviting it

Hot girls, they can break me, break me
Hot girls, you know what you're doing
Now, hot girls, come and break me, break me
Hot girls, take me where you are going

I've got nothing to prove, ain't got nothing to lose
If you need someone to use, I can take the abuse

holding up some paper to her window, she's writing her name
and number and I'm laughing as I'm dialing it, dialing it

I've got nothing to prove, ain't got nothing to lose
If you need someone to use, I can take the abuse

Hot girls, they can break me, break me
Hot girls, you know what you're doing
Now, hot girls, come and break me, break me
Hot girls, take me where you are going

Hot girls, they can break me, break me
Hot girls, you know what you're doing
Now, hot girls, come and break me, break me
Hot girls, take me where you are going

Hot girls, hot girls, hot girls, hot girls


5. PERFECT STRANGER

Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do do

Don't tell me your name, just use that pretty mouth
To kiss me if you want this, but I want you inside out
Start here at the end and later, when we're waking
Our bodies still weak, we finally meet, turn my head and say

We could be perfect strangers, let's spend tonight
We could be perfect strangers, hello, won't you look in my eyes?
Don't let this bad world change you
You got places to go, so much further than I can see

We could be perfect strangers
Thank you for spending one night with me

Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do do

Let's just keep this simple
In the AM it's goodbye
The syrup's so much sweeter when you let the butter fly
So spread your wings and go, it's better not to know
What I'm gonna miss, I'll remember your kiss when I turn my head and say

We could be perfect strangers, let's spend tonight
We could be perfect strangers, hello, won't you look in my eyes?
Don't let this bad world change you
You got places to go, so much further than I can see

We could be perfect strangers
Thank you for spending one night with me

We are passing trains, we are whiplash lovers
We are burning wax melting all over each other

We could be perfect strangers, let's spend tonight
We could be perfect strangers, hello, won't you look in my eyes?
Don't let this bad world change you
You got places to go, so much further than I can see

Everyone wants you but nobody knows that you're so alone inside
We could be perfect strangers
Thank you for spending one night


6. REMEMBER WHO'S YOUR MAN

Sugar, I want to know you, know you inside out
Mystery surrounds you, got to figure it out
Driving downtown to your house, your lights are never on
You got me hooked, I wanna drown
Without your hand I'm going down

And I can't stop, don't help me out, so lonely and I'm bleeding from the inside
Oh no no, no no
I need you, you need to remember, remember, remember who's your man

Met you on the corner not so long ago
You asked me where I was going, I said I don't know
Tell me how is it you came into my life so damn fast
You blew my mind, left me behind and now I'm living in your past

And I can't stop, blow me out, I'm so lonely, got me bleeding from the inside
I need you, and you need to remember, remember, can't you remember who's your man?

Who's your man?

You knocked me out, so lonely, got me bleeding from the inside
'Cause I need you, and you need to remember
I said, 'cause I need you, and you need to remember
Can you do that? 'Cause I'm so high
Remember, can't you remember, oh baby, remember who's your man

Who's your man? Who's your man? Who's your man?


7. HUNGRY

The world is a hungry place and it's never satisfied
You're leaving home, on the run, your mama, she was right
Home was a crowded space but it sometimes gratified
Look around, freedom found, now you've gone

you don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you know

Your life is a precious thing, you can never be denied
You need a job, a place to live, you couldn't help but try
Home was a crowded place and it sometimes satisfied
Turn around, freedom found, now you've gone

Baby, turn back, don't ride the highway
Baby, good luck when you do it your way

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
I don't belong to you, it's only an ocean away
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go

When there's nothing in your way and all of it burns inside
Reaching out on your own, reaching out, you're reaching out on your own

Lust is a hungry place and it's never satisfied
You need to find the gift of love that comes from deep inside
Your heart is a special place and you're always there, I'm always there for you

You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you know
I don't belong to you, it's only an ocean away
You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go

Baby, turn back, don't ride the highway
Baby, good luck when you do it your way


8. NEVER LET YOU GO

Everything's good when it's sunshine, you should see me in the rain
Everyone knows what it feels like to have to start over again
But I can't start over again, again, again, again

If someday I find me the answer, move down south and marry a dancer
I could never let you go
And when he's holding you, you remember the day I met you, one cold December
I could never let you go
Oh, I could never let you go

Everything I see around me reminds me of why you were numb
This bed is too deep to be empty, I'm swimming in oblivion, I'm drowning in oblivion
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

And if someday I find me the answer, move down south and marry a dancer
I could never let you go
And when he's holding you, you remember the day I met you, one cold December
I could never let you go
Oh, I could never let you go, could never let you go

Everything's good when it's sunshine, you should see me in the rain
Everyone knows what it feels like to have to start over again

If someday I find me the answer, move down south and marry a dancer
I could never let you go
And when he's holding you, you remember the day I met you, one cold December
I could never let you go
Oh, I could never let you go

And if someday I find me the answer, move down south and marry a dancer
I could never let you go
Oh, I could never let you go
Could never let you go, could never let you go, could never let you go

Could never let you go


9. LIKE IT OR NOT

Sex is sex and love is love, mix 'em both up, baby, that's the stuff
I can't believe I'm seeing the world come tumbling, crumbling down
Yeah, less love the world's receiving, more chance of it all shutting down
Shutting down, yeah, yeah

Like it or not, love is the God
Love is the, love is the God
Like it or not, love is the God
Love is the God

So put your guns down on the ground, yeah, peace, it makes such a pretty sound
I can't believe I'm seeing the world come tumbling, crumbling down
You won't believe the feeling when it's all coming back around
Coming 'round, yeah, yeah

Love is the God, yeah, like it or not
Love is the, love is the, yeah, love is my God
Like it or not, love is God

Love is my God, yeah, yeah, like it not
Love is the, love is the, yeah, like it or not
Love is the, yeah, like it or not
Love is the, love is the, yeah
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Yeah, love is the God
Love is the, oh, like it or not
Love is the, love is the, yeah
Love is the God

Love is God


10. US

The world is always changing, you can see it every day
But in a tragic situation you just can't hide yourself away
So try a little kindness cause it sure can't be that hard
You're shining in the darkness when you open up your heart

Your love is all we need to bring us together
Don't leave it to me, nothing's for free, it comes down to us

Hungry babies on television, can you feel the shame?
We've got to keep on giving to one another, 'cause it's all gonna happen again
Why don't you try a little kindness cause it sure can't be that hard
Just think about what binds us and find a new place to start

Your love is all we need to bring us together
Don't leave it to me, nothing's for free, it comes down to us
Your love is all we need to bring us together
We're not indestructable, we're some kind of miracle
Happens every day


11. GOD'S TOP TEN

Romance is gone, he's drifting with the stars
The lyric in his pocket, little girl in his heart
When you hear his songs on the radio I don't need to tell you what you already know
He's in God's top ten where heaven never ends

You saw the world and the world saw you on the stage
Wild, wild, wild colonial boy
Roquefort le pont
Your gypsy heart is free, pictures on the wall of your family
He's on God's top ten where heaven never ends
He's on God's top ten

Baby's got mama's eyes, she was always beautiful
When you hear his voice, feel his arms around you
You remember momma smiling a daddy's little girl
Bad weather, cold media storm
He's on God's top ten where heaven never ends
He's on God's top ten
