WE RAN UNTIL WE HAD NOWHERE TO RUN
WE AIMED OUR SAILING SHIPS
INTO THE SETTING SUN
WE LOST SOME FOLK IN ROANAKE
TO MADNESS AND DISEASE
WE CUT A BLOODY PATH
FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
NOW IT’S ANOTHER DAY
NO NO NO NO
WE THOUGHT WE’D MADE IT IN 1776
WE THOUGHT WE’D KEEP IT TOGETHER
WE RANG THAT FREEDOM BELL IN 1776
WE THOUGHT WE’D HEAR IT FOREVER
WE MADE OUR REBEL STAND
DON’T TREAD ON ME
IF YOU SURVIVED THE FREEDOM RIDE
YOU’RE ANYTHING BUT FREE
NOW IT’S ANOTHER DAY
NO NO NO NO
SOLO
OH NO ANOTHER DAY
NO NO NO NO
WE THOUGHT WE’D MADE IT IN 1776…

YOU CAN TEAR MY PISTOL FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS
YOU CAN LEAVE ME BLEEDING IN A FOREIGN LAND
YOU CAN LET SOMEBODY KNOW
WHAT I WAS FIGHTING FOR
IN A LANGUAGE THAT SOMEBODY UNDERSTANDS
PICK UP THE PIECES
NOW THAT AIN’T RIGHT
PICK UP THE PIECES
NOW THAT AIN’T RIGHT
PICK UP MY PIECES
NOW THAT AIN’T RIGHT
THE RPG THAT BLEW ME ALL AWAY
LEFT A LITTLE BIT SAID MADE IN THE USA
NOW THAT AIN’T RIGHT
NO THAT AIN’T RIGHT
BABY THAT AIN’T RIGHT
NO IT AIN’T RIGHT
PICK UP THE PIECES
PICK UP THE PIECES
PICK UP MY PIECES
YOU GOTTA PICK EM UP
PROMISE YOU’LL FIND ME DON’T THROW ME AWAY
WRAP ME IN PLASTIC AND MAIL ALL MY PIECES TO MOTHER
MOMMY DEAREST
WRAP ME IN PLASTIC AND MAIL ALL MY PIECES TO MOTHER
TO MY MOTHER
TO MY MOTHER
MOTHER
WELL THEY TORE MY PISTOL FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS
AND THEY LEFT ME HERE TO ROT IN A FOREIGN LAND
NOW THAT AIN’T RIGHT
NO THAT AIN’T RIGHT...

WE USED TO CATCH THAT TIDAL WAVE
INTO THE CITY
HIT THW STAGE ALIVE
NO SENSE OF PITY
IT WAS A PRETTY THING
BUT NOW IT’S DEAD INSIDE
A PRETTY THING
ALL DEAD INSIDE
WE’RE NOT GOING TO THE FUNHOUSE
CAUSE WE’RE NOT YOUNG ANY MORE
WE’RE NOT GOING TO THE FUNHOUSE
CAUSE WE’RE NO FUN ANY MORE
BROTHERHOOD ALL LOST
AND PARALYSED
ABANDONED IN A LAND
OF LIVIN LIES
THEY WERE PRETTY BOYS
NOW THEY’RE DEAD INSIDE
PRETTY LITTLE BOYS
LOST AND DEAD ALIVE
STANDIN BY THE WINDMILL
SPITTIN BLOOD
RUST AND IRON
SPINNIN IN THE MUD
IT WAS A PRETTY THING
NOW IT’S DEAD INSIDE
PRETTY LITTLE THING
ALL DEAD INSIDE

DANCIN WITH INSANITY
I’M CRAZY WITH OR WITHOUT YOU
I’M CRAZY WITH OR WITHOUT YOU
SLEEP AND SADLY DREAM IN FROZEN CREVASSES
LOOK UP INTO AN EMPTY SKY
TOO SAD AND COLD TO EVEN CRY
ALL BETS ARE OFF
AND MY LIPS ARE TURNING BLUE
AND MY DOGS ARE GETTING LOST
ON MY WAY BACK HOME TO YOU
REST YOUR WEARY BONES DEEP IN THE PERMAFROST
YOUR TIRED EYES FROM WIND AND ICE
LOSE YOUR FEAR AND DRIFT INTO THE WHITE
ALL BETS ARE OFF
AND MY LIPS ARE TURNING BLUE
AND MY DOGS ARE GETTING LOST
ON MY WAY BACK HOME TO YOU

I GOT A ONE WAY TICKET
ON THE TERMINAL CRAZY
OPEN CARRY
AND IT AIN’T NO DAISY
RUN RUN RUN
A BACKBORED BARREL AND A BANDOLERO
OUNCE OF METAL IN YOUR NEW SOMBRERO
RUN RUN RUN
DO YOU REMEMBER?
DO YOU NOW?
WHERE IS MY SMITH AND WESSON?
WHERE IS MY GUN?
FULL AUTO NOISE SUPPRESSION
YOU BETTER RUN
DOUBLE BARREL GET YOU WHEN YOU
RUN RUN RUN
METAL SHOWER STOPPING POWER
RUN RUN RUN
DO YOU REMEMBER?
DO YOU NOW?
WHERE IS MY SMITH AND WESSON?
WHERE IS MY GUN?
FULL AUTO NOISE SUPPRESSION
YOU BETTER RUN

SHE’S GOT A BASEBALL BAT
AND SHE’S BUSTIN IN THE SPORTS CAR WINDOW
SHE’S ALWAYS HAD A WAY
LIKE TO DRIVE A MAN INSANE
SHE’S GOT A TEN GALLON HAT
THAT SHE USES EACH DAY FOR A PILLOW
AND 13 LIVES THAT SHE’S PISSING DOWN THE DRAIN
NAKED CITY
NAKED CITY
THE SAME OLD STORY AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
WHEN SHE HOWLS AT THE MOON
LORD’LL MAKE YOUR BACKBONE SHIVER
YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHTS COME ON
ALL OVER TOWN
THEY’LL BE CHECKIN OUT THE HORSES
FROM THE LION WAY DOWN BY THE RIVER
BUT YOU AND I KNOW WHAT’S REALLY GOING DOWN
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
WE’RE DOWN THE HOLE AGAIN
AND EVERY STORY IS TRUE
IN THE NIGHT THERE’S A SILHOUETTE
NO ONE IS INNOCENT
NO ONE ESPECIALLY YOU
NOW I’M SLEEPIN ALL DAY
ON THE BANKS OF THE THOMPSON RIVER
CAUSE I SPENT ALL NIGHT
JUST KEEPIN RIGHT OUTTA HER WAY
WHEN SHE TOOK MY HAT
LORD I THOUGHT THAT I’D NEVER FORGIVE HER
BUT YOU AND I KNOW THAT I’LL NEVER GET AWAY

THERE’S SOMETHING HOWLING AT THE MOON TONIGHT
DEEP IN THE DESERT
HARD AS FURY AND AS COLD AS VICE
AND THEN A WHISPER
THE RADIO
IS PLAYIN “WINE WOMEN AND SONG”
I ONLY KNOW
THAT WHEN WE’RE KISSIN
SOMETHING’S WRONG
I MAY BE CRAZY
JUST GO AWAY
YOUR TOUCH WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME
STAY BABY STAY
I DREAMED AN ANGEL GAVE TO ME HER COAT
OF RAZOR WIRE
INTO THE NIGHT WE DROVE A GOLDEN CADILLAC
TOWARD THE FIRE
THE RADIO
IS PLAYIN “ALL OVER NOW”
I ONLY KNOW
THERE’S SOMETHING’S BURIED
UNDERGROUND
I MAY BE CRAZY…
THE RADIO
IS PLAYIN “BESAME MUCHO”
I ONLY KNOW
THAT WHEN WE’RE KISSIN
SOMETHING’S WRONG
I MAY BE CRAZY…

LET’S GO TO ANOTHER PLACE
THIS ONE HAS LOST ITS ATTRACTION
LET’S FIND ANOTHER “THIS IS GREAT”
WE’VE MILKED THIS SITUATION
WE’LL WALK DOWN BRIGHTER STREETS
WE’LL TAKE A VOW TO MEET
LIKE STRANGERS IN A FRIENDLY BAR
THIS BAR HAS SEEN ITS FINEST HOUR
THESE WALLS HAVE SEEN
ALL THEY’RE GONNA SEE
LET’S GO BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE
LET’S GET OUT BEFORE TOMORROW
THIS BAR WILL NEVER CLOSE
WE’LL STAY AND I SUPPOSE
WE’LL SIT AND DRINK TILL HEAVEN KNOWS
