Solitary Nights

The king and the queen left their machines out on the street
In the big boys home they're left all alone singing out in misery
The beauty lover's box is left
Unlocked waiting for somebody to take her soul
The magic rat's left behind and the movie is left to unwind
The town's asleep, and I'm not the only one with solitary nights
Will you eat my soul damn rock&roll while I take the tele out
Danny can't take this no more while I cannot let him shout
Girl you don't mean anymore to me,
Oh I'm depressed with problems all around
Let be me myself again, I'm tired of acting like your ground
The lights shut out, and Danny's stuck with solitary nights
I'm living on thirty dollars a week
I've got no house no car just a guitar
Main Street is under construction
And the diner place where I usually eat
Is filled with these monsters hungry beasts
I don't know what to do anymore
What am I even taking this for
I'm wondering down Guisean right now
Danny bought a gun
Danny was found lying under the
Bridge with the authorities by his side
He seemed to be expressionless holding the pistol gun with his right
He's taken down to the church where the filthy smoke fills the air
I've never heard of him or seen him
Again Danny I miss you, come back here
The sky turns dark, I'm lying down with solitary nights

Bluff It All

Day after day you keep watching
Your broken dreams fade away in the dark
Generations are falling
Through the dimmed city light and the spark
When hangover lingered in your eyes
You left home away to catch up
Once again through the frozen street's cries
Hidden in the toilet not wanting to give it a shot
And we keep on shivering in cold blood
Running into the backstreets to fall
In the night time your river and my flood
Sometimes we gotta risk it
And bluff it all
In the night time your River and my flood
Kept on jacking the Aces of love
But when we're drowning in avenues of mud
Our only salvation is the white Dove
Well I still see your signs of affection
Hanging off my baton
Like kids within resurrection
Who are saved and keep going on
And we keep on shivering in cold blood
Running into the backstreets to fall
In the night time your river and my flood
Sometimes we gotta risk it
And bluff it all
And you see now the years have gone by
And there's rough marks all over my skin
And they keep on calling us dumb
Even if we prove them that we can win
In the night time your River and my flood
Kept on jacking the Aces of love
But when we're drowning in avenues of mud
Our only salvation is the white Dove
And we keep on shivering in cold blood
Running into the backstreets to fall
In the night time your river and my flood
Sometimes we gotta risk it
And bluff it all

At the fall of the day
And the rise of the moon
Live in simple sentiment
Sentimental mood
Experiencing weightlessness
But fearful of gloom
Hiding under the bridge
Getting caught, but not so soon
Laura Rivers
Bathing in the moonlight
Rays upon my shivers
Eyes shining bright
Yeah Laura Rivers
Let me whisper in your ear
Things that shouldn't come
To the light of day
Feelings that should
Be hidden away
Picture me as I'm walking
Walking through the wild
And then a voice starts calling
Talking real styled
But the rain starts falling
Like it's teared apart
Well let the breeze blow
And take my restless heart
My restless heart
Oh Laura Rivers
Won't you stop playing with me
Asking questions
Deliberately
Laura Rivers
Making me a fool
The plans were made
And you agreed
But then you stayed
And let it run free
You let it go
Ignored me so
Why'd you stop calling anymore
They watched all the movies
And listened to the radio
Danced to all the Groovies
We didn't drive on it to make a great time
We drove on it to have a great time
Sitting on a bench in a backstreet
Asking how you came here to me
10 minutes outside the beach
Are you here to stay or are you gonna leave?
You say you got new dreams to touch
New horizons you wanna rush
But the visions that unfold with me are tough
At the break of dawn the sun turns rough
Laura Rivers
It's all done
No more bumps on my shivers
The feeling's gone
Laura Rivers
Let me be
You stopped talking
And I was broken
Then I stopped calling
And you were never spoken
Never spoken

Done

The times have changed and the world is done
There's a heart in your hand and the pillow's warm
I was told that there's something new
Growing inside as a simple truth
But in the end when the sun goes down
That truth awakens and rolls around
And in your head you feel repressed
But there's nothing stopping it's just obsessed
You and me have parted separate ways
The defeating weight of those summer days
And this does not seem so wrong
Out of curiosity and fun
But this just ain't a love song
This is just to see how you've done
And I'm no longer standing there
Because I've now found my perfect one
This is no longer a love song
It's all done
Throughout three years of growing strong
Seems like the guy you knew is now long gone
My whiskey and your gin are pretty tight
Maybe since the beginning you were right
My affection is even shining more
But not in the way that it did before
It's just that our differences make a man
That would make the hard times come to stand
And what once did cross our track
But now a changed man can't go back
And this does not seem so wrong
Out of curiosity and fun
But this just ain't a love song
This is just to see how you've done
And I'm no longer standing there
Because I've now found my perfect one
This is no longer a love song
It's all done
Now you go look for someone else
But those things are unpredicted
Pep comes ringing up those bells
And pictured all that's undepicted
And this does not seem so wrong
Out of curiosity and fun
But this just ain't a love song
This is just to see how you've done
And I'm no longer standing there
Because I've now found my perfect one
This is no longer a love song
It's all done

The Price
04:43

Out in the back, lived a stranger who would call me night and day
His sight upon my head until I lay into my bed
And as the sun quickly faded down and into rain
Whether I was out in Switzerland or Spain, stuck in my head
And as the nights grow longer, and as the day follows the way
My heart keeps on getting stronger
That's the price I'll have to pay
And then I say, I have a feeling that I'm a conquistador
I got everything I wanted and more, oh I'm the best
But then I sit down and I let my heart speak to me and pour
For it to realize I'm just a troubadour, I'm just a guest
And as I'm held by a finger, I'm too in love to breakaway
My heart keeps on getting stronger
that's the price I'll have to pay
Well that stranger that I told you, I know his name
He's called "shattered dreams", he's called "broken heart"
The future is insane
He lives in my memories, he's part of my past
I don't wanna lose this game I'm playing that is going by so fast
And as I learn, and I accept the fate that will end up with me
God will say the words and I will come and see
It'll be the end
But until that day, I wanna have her close and hold her in my dream
She's like the paradise of where I've never been
Oh that she's mine
Until it breaks, and you realize you lost all that you had
Begging for forgiveness to her eyes, you're mad
It hangs on the line
Well I turned the daylight somber, but she keeps it from display
She looks at my eyes, says, "No longer don't you suffer or you'll pay"
I look at her, whisper "I'm sorry", I didn't mean to breakaway
And my love keeps on getting stronger,
But that's the price I'll have to pay
