     DON'T CRY NO TEARS 
     ------------------ 
     Don't cry no tears around me 
     Don't cry no tears around me 
     'Cause when all the water's gone 
     The feeling lingers on 
     Old true love ain't too hard to see 
     Don't cry no tears around me. 
      
     Well I wonder who's with her tonight? 
     And I wonder who's holding her tight? 
     But there's nothing I can say 
     To make him go away 
     Old true love ain't too hard to see 
     Don't cry no tears around me. 
      
     There's nothing I can say 
     To make him go away 
     Old true love ain't too hard to see 
     Don't cry no tears around me 
     Don't cry no tears around me. 
      
      
     DANGER BIRD 
     ----------- 
     Danger bird, he flies alone 
     And he rides the wind back to his home 
     Although his wings have turned to stone 
      
     And we used to be so calm		 
     Now I think about you all day long    That's the moment that he cracked 
     'Cause you've been with another man   long ago in the museum with his friends. 
     Here you are and here I am.  
      
     The jailbird takes the raps 
     And he finds himself spread-eagled on the tracks 
     But the training that he learned will get him nowhere fast. 
      
     And I know we should be free          With the rain pounding on his back he recalls 
     But freedom's just a prison to me     the moment that he cracked long ago in the museum 
     'Cause I lied to keep it kind         with his friends 
     When I left you far behind.           And like those memories the rain keeps pounding  
                                           down, down, down 
                                         
     And though these wings have turned to stone 
     I can fly fly fly away. 
     Watch me fly above the city 
     Like a shadow on the sky. 
     Fly, fly, fly. 
      
      
     PARDON MY HEART 
     --------------- 
     It's a fallen situation 
     When all eyes are turned in 
     And a love isn't flowing 
     The way it could have been. 
      
     You brought it all on 
     Oh, but it feels so wrong 
     You brought it all on 
     No, no, no, I don't believe this song 
     You brought it all on. 
      
     It's a sad communication 
     With little reason to believe 
     When one isn't giving 
     And one pretends to receive. 
      
     You brought it all on 
     Oh, but it feels so wrong 
     You brought it all on 
     No, no, no, I don't believe this song 
     You brought it all on. 
      
     Pardon my heart 
     If I showed that I cared 
     But I love you more than moments 
     We have or have not shared. 
      
     You brought it all on 
     Oh, and it feels so good 
     You brought it all on 
     When love flows the way that it should 
     You brought it all on. 
      
     It feels so good 
     It feels so good 
     You feel good. 
      
      
     LOOKIN' FOR A LOVE 
     ------------------ 
     I've been looking for a lover 
     But I haven't met her yet 
     She'll be nothing like I pictured her to be 
     In her eyes I will discover 
     Another reason why 
     I want to live and make the best of what I see. 
      
     Where the sun hits the water 
     And the mountains meet the sand 
     There's a beach that I walk along sometimes 
     And maybe there I'll meet her 
     And we'll start to say 'hello' 
     And never stop to think of any other time. 
      
     Looking' for a love that's right for me 
     I don't know how long it's going to be  
     But I hope I treat her kind 
     And don't mess with her mind 
     When she starts to see the darker side of me. 
      
     Looking' for a love that's right for me 
     I don't know how long it's going to be  
     But I hope I treat her kind 
     And don't mess with her mind 
     When she starts to see the darker side of me. 
      
     I've been looking for a lover 
     But I haven't met her yet 
     She'll be nothing like I pictured her to be 
     In her eyes I will discover 
     Another reason why 
     I want to live and make the best of what I see. 
      
      
     BARSTOOL BLUES 
     -------------- 
     If I could hold on to just one thought 
     For long enough to know 
     Why my mind is moving so fast 
     And the conversation is slow. 
     Burn off all the fog 
     And let the sun through to the snow 
     Let me see your face again 
     Before I have to go. 
      
     I have seen you in the movies 
     And in those magazines at night 
     I saw you on the barstool when 
     You held that glass so tight. 
     And I saw you in my nightmares 
     But I'll see you in my dreams 
     And I might live a thousand years 
     Before I know what that means. 
      
     Once there was a friend of mine 
     Who died a thousand deaths 
     His life was filled with parasites 
     And countless idle threats. 
     He trusted in a woman 
     And on her he made his bets 
     Once there was a friend of mine 
     Who died a thousand deaths. 
      
      
     STUPID GIRL 
     ----------- 
     You're just a stupid girl 
     You really got a lot to learn 
     Start living again 
     Forget about remembering 
     You're such a stupid girl. 
      
     You're such a beautiful fish 
     Floppin' on the summer sand 
     Lookin' for the wave you missed 
     When another one is close at hand 
     You're such a stupid girl. 
      
     You're such a stupid girl. 
      
     I saw you in Mercedes Benz 
     Practicing self-defense 
     You got it pretty good I guess 
     I couldn't see your eyes 
     You're really stupid, girl. 
      
     You're such a stupid girl. 
      
      
     DRIVE BACK 
     ---------- 
     Whatever gets you through the night 
     That's all right with me 
     When it's time to say goodbye 
     I have to make you see 
      
     You won't know me 
     I won't call you 
     I won't be there 
     To remind you 
     What you told me 
     When I showed you 
     In the morning 
     Let me know you'll 
      
     Drive back to your old town 
     I wanna wake up with no-one around 
     Drive back to your old town. 
      
     If somebody 
     Is haunting your mind 
     Look in my eyes 
     Let me hide you 
     From yourself and 
     All your old friends 
     Every good thing 
     Comes to an end. 
      
     Drive back, drive back, drive back. 
      
     Drive back to your old town 
     I wanna wake up with no-one around 
     Drive back to your old town. 
      
      
     CORTEZ THE KILLER 
     ----------------- 
     He came dancing across the water 
     With his galleons and guns 
     Looking for the new world 
     In that palace in the sun. 
      
     On the shore lay Montezuma 
     With his coca leaves and pearls 
     In his halls he often wondered 
     With the secrets of the worlds. 
      
     And his subjects gathered 'round him 
     Like the leaves around a tree 
     In their clothes of many colors 
     For the angry gods to see. 
      
     And the women all were beautiful 
     And the men stood straight and strong 
     They offered life in sacrifice 
     So that others could go on. 
      
     Hate was just a legend 
     And war was never known 
     The people worked together 
     And they lifted many stones. 
      
     They carried them to the flatlands 
     And they died along the way 
     But they built up with their bare hands 
     What we still can't do today. 
      
     And I know she's living there 
     And she loves me to this day 
     I still can't remember when 
     Or how I lost my way. 
      
     He came dancing across the water 
     Cortez, Cortez 
     What a killer. 
      
      
     THROUGH MY SAILS 
     ---------------- 
     Still glaring from the city lights 
     Into paradise I soared 
     Unable to come down 
     For reasons I'd ignored. 
      
     Total confusion, 
     Disillusion 
     New things I'm knowin'. 
      
     I'm standing on the shoreline 
     It's so fine out there 
     Leaving with the wind blowing 
     But love takes care. 
      
     Know me, know me 
     Show me, show me 
     New things I'm knowin'. 
      
     Wind blowing through my sails 
     It feels like I'm gone 
     Leaving with the wind blowing 
     Through my sails.
