1. TIED TO THE TRACKS

What are you doing here in my nightmare?
In my nightmare
Stepping back into the stupidness gets me nowhere
Gets me nowhere

Look at you now, you look like an angel in hell
Look at you now, drowning in your wishing well
Look at you now, all those stories and there's no one to tell
Look at you now

Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my nightmares?

And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down
Wake me up and let me go and somebody I used to know
From somewhere in my nightmare
Don't you remember the years we got nowhere
We got nowhere

Look at you now, you look like an angel in hell
Look at you now, drowning in your wishing well
Look at you now, all those strories and there's no one to tell
Look at you now

Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my nightmares?

And you're playing with a deck of jokers,
But there's always one more sucker
And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down
Trapped at the top of the merry-go-round
But it won't let you down

Look at you now, you look like an angel in hell
Look at you now, drowning in your wishing well
Look at you now, all those strories and there's no one to tell
Look at you now

Do you think you can find a place for my dreams?


2. SHIP OF FOOLS

We were shipwrecked sailors searching for some fool's gold
They are the drunken local boys
They'd been out drinking all night, feeling alright
We watched them kill each other in a fight

Ship of fools, drunken hearts
Making yet another new start
Ain't it hard to play that part
When you've got a drunken heart?

Well, I can't change the world by complaining
You can't change it with a kiss
Be no concentrating, contemplating
No time to find out what we miss

Ship of fools, drunken hearts
Making yet another new start
Ain't it hard to play that part
When you've got a drunken heart?


3. CAN'T GO BACK

The aim of my time is to fill up my mind
And when it gets too full, I forget
Now if I'm late and I'm making you wait
And there ain't one thing around that's even funny

Seeing things clearly and I thank you so dearly
Everything's so true to life when you're not living
When it's all a drag, that's when you give it all away
Put it all in bags, it's going to charity

You just can't go back
(Just killing time)
You just can't go back

Everybody's going their own way
This world is gonna make you stay
It's more than amusement now
You're just killing time

(Just killing time)
You just can't go back (×3)

Fifteen years later, caught in time's incinerator
Yesterday's worries are today's
But the good times are so near, just sitting back and drinking beer
You know I'm halfway down the road but I know that I still ain't there

Seeing things clearly and I thank you so dearly
Everything's so true to life when you're not living
When it's all a drag, that's when you give it all away
Put it all in bags, it's going to charity

You just can't go back
(Just killing time)
You just can't go back

Everybody's going their own way
This world is gonna make you stay
It's more than amusement now
You're just killing time


4. ANOTHER WORLD, ANOTHER DAY

Folks tell jokes in clouds of smoke
Making sure life won't decay
Fancy flags fly in your face
Fall polluting in my space

Pounds of sounds from shotgun rounds
Music of the hit parade
No, your father's, father's, father's
He's got nothing left to say

On the day you walked away

Another world, another day


5. MADE TO BE BROKEN

Yes, I'll be leaving in the morning
By the chill that you gave me I will ride
I will tear out my insides
Just to find a place to hide

And I don't wanna hurt you anymore

You got the dagger but I got the revolver
As we rolled and we tumbled to the floor
I've been shot upside the ceiling
Is it just these drugs I'm feeling?

And I don't want to lie to you no more

Now this advice I will lend
To spend until the end
A guitar's a man's best friend
And these rules were made to be broken
Made to be broken, made to be broken, made to be

Now I'm trying— trying to make myself uneasy
And I haven't got the guts to make you cry
The Lord will tell me one thing
But I knows I got to do something

And I don't want to hurt you anymore

Now this advice I will lend
Keep spending 'til the end
Know some things are meant to be spoken
And these rules are made to be broken
Made to be broken, made to be broken I say


6. NEVER REALLY BEEN

Sirens are a-screaming, shots ring out at night
Movie cameras rolling in
And there goes my hero with his head between his legs
And all this time I believed in him

Now, what is the sound of snow falling down
On the tombstone in the dead of the night?
And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound
Who speaks English when the watchman's not in sight?

And where will you be in 1993
Still sitting in the same chair
Sinning is for sinners and I'm just a beginner
But I've never really been punched there

Hey, ain't it strange how some things never change
Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same
You were thinking I was distressed about some universal press
But I was just depressed about my last pinball game

I've learned to accept and not to expect
The respect and neglect that I get
And I try not to forget about what hasn't happened yet
And on this, I place my last bet

Hey, did you give what you get
Did you get what you give of your fair share of wear and tear
Winning is for winners and I know spring follows winter
But I've never really been touched there

You know, it's hard to be nice when hate becomes your vice
And you can't find peace anywhere
Love's just not for lovers, get off your high horse brother
Drop your fist and get out of here


7. WHOA!

Whooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I want love, I want now, someway somehow

I'm desperate for a buzz
Desperate for a buzz
Desperate for a buzz

Whoaaaaaa, whooooaaaa

Express, expression, someway somehow

I'm desperate for a buzz
Desperate for a buzz
Desperate for a buzz

Life's my life, life's my right, someway somehow
Whooooaaaa, whooooaaaa, whooooaaaa

I said whoa!


8. NEW FEELINGS

Roll away the chains that wrap around me
Wipe the spider webs from my eyes
Tumble down the tall walls that surround me
No outside, no lies, no alibis

My new feelings
New feelings (×5)

Daydream screams sometimes don't seem? so far away

No, I'm not possessed by my possessions
Lift my head to clear my right to die
You're in love with your evangelist investment
I don't need an alibi

My new feelings
New feelings (×5)

Daydream screams, they just don't seem? so far away

(Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh)

My head's like a wrecking ball and you look like a wall
Mopping up the tears that fill your eyes
This is my life, my right and that's not all
I just laughed my head off and cried

My new feelings
New feelings (×5)

Daydream screams, they just don't seem? so far away


9. GROWING PAIN

(Whooo, whooo)

Riding into town when the sun goes down
And the natives get restless and the crowd comes 'round
Pacing in place in a backward race
While stating my case to another blank face

I'm just sitting on the roadside
Watching all the cars and the clouds roll by
They may pass me by
But I need a better reason to cry

Growing pain, it leaves a stain
It's similar but not the same
It's down the drain and what remains
Maybe you're the one who's a little insane

(Whooo, whooo)

Now everything's lovely if you're ugly
What you would, what you should, and what you could be
Mister Right spends his life
Stabbing himself with a butter knife

I'm just sitting on the roadside
Watching all the cars and the clouds roll by
They may pass me by
But I need a better reason to cry

Growing pain's a spinning blade
Whirling round you like a razor-edged chain
It's down the drain and what remains
Maybe you're the one who's a little insane

Growing pain, it leaves a stain
And it's similar but not the same
It's down the drain and what remains
Maybe you're the one who can make that change

(Whooooa, huh)

Can't shake hands with boxing gloves
With whips and chains you'll never make love


10. LONG WAY HOME

You've got eyes but they can't see
What's inside the TV and they never look at me
You won't know and you never claim to show
That special feeling inside

Oh, how time flies when it's got nowhere to go
Up to the skies and it only goes to show
I've waited here for you a long, long time
I think I'd better go

Long way home (×6)

Now you studied the changes
Lost your way
Through all the strangeness
Got no more to say
You look at the stars in the cold dark night

Long way home (×8)


11. LONE RIDER

Peeping Tom creepin' through the mornin' moonlight (ohh, ohh, ohh)
Like a crazy coyote in the middle of the night (ohh, ohh, ohh)
You keep taggin' along 'til it does you wrong
Sometimes it takes so long for you to say so long

Not for the lone rider
Lone rider

Woah
Huh
Ya

Black cloud troll wherever he goes (ohh, ohh, ohh)
He breaks out in a cold sweat when you get too close
Your suitcase is home long may you roam lone rider
Ohh, baby's cryin' please come home lone rider

The reflections in the water but the water's a mirage
It's like a dream machine that never leaves the garage
Your boots start walkin', as the story goes
People start talkin' and he wrestlessness gows

They say he hates people, say he's a queer
Never listens but always hears
Off into the sunset he disappears
Surely the last time to come around here, oh no

Ride on (×3)


12. AIN'T THAT TOUGH

A sweet scent of discontent
Rising in the air
You don't get old, you just get passive
And then you stand and stare

Hey, nobody's keeping you from stopping

(Chick-a, chick-a, chick-a, chick-a, chick-a)

Like a plug without a socket
Your finger trigger's itching
But you forgot to cock it

And now, things didn't turn out the way you thought they would be
No, you can't take that out on me
If you can find a better way
Then I ain't standing in your way, oh no

I'm fed up with holding out
I called your bluff, now let it out
You were thinking it was never, never, never enough
It ain't bad luck, it's just that you ain't that tough

(Ain't that tough, ain't that tough) (×4)

A graveyard of bottles
And a throttle pointing for your lips
If you're so brave
Why's a .45 hang from your hips?

No, nobody's keeping you from stopping

(Chick-a, chick-a, chick-a, chick-a, chick-a)

You're always threatening to kill yourself
Well, why don't you just do it right here, right now?

I didn't turn out the way you thought I would be
No, you can't take that out on me
I thought I was talking to someone else
I guess I was talking to myself, oh no

I'm fed up with holding out
I called your bluff, now let it out
You were thinking it was never, never, never enough
It ain't bad luck, it's just you ain't that tough

Last time I talked to you
You were talking just like me
Now you're talking like some hollywood actress
Hey, what the hell's that supposed to mean?

Last time I talked to you
You turned and walked away
And why the brawl on the grave
What the fuck (gibberish)

You ain't that tough (×4)


13. DON'T IT (MAKE YOUR TROUBLES SEEM SMALL)

You're talking like another mouth to feed
Shopping for things that you don't need
Smile, child, you're gonna be wild for a while

Fall, fall, fall, fall, fall waterfall
Di-di-di-di-di-di-dig my grave anytime at all
My friend punched another hole into the wall

Don't it make your troubles seem small?

And you're moaning and you're groaning
Everybody around you just makes you lonely
I'm trying to get to you, before you try to get to me

Fall, fall, fall fall, fall, fall
Di-di-di-di-di-di-dig my grave anywhere at all
Cockroaches try to crawling up my wall

Don't it make your troubles seem small?

Owww
Huh

Don't it make your troubles? Ohhhhh, ohhhh

Don't it make? (×4)

Don't it? (×6)
