Les paroles
1. ARE YOU GONNA GO MY WAY
I was born long ago
I am the chosen I'm the one
I have come to save the day
And I won't leave until I'm done
So that's why you've got to try
You got to breath and have some fun
Though I'm not paid I play this game
And I won't stop until I'm done
But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way ?
And I got to got to know
I don't know why we always cry
This we must leave and get undone
We must engage and rearrange
And turn this planet back to one
So tell me why we got to die
And kill each other one by one
We've got to love and rub-a-dub
We've got to dance and be in love
But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way ?
And I got to got to know
Are you gonna go my way ?
'Cause baby I got to know, yeah
2. FLY AWAY
I wish that I could fly
Into the sky

Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please
Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours
Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun

3. ROCK & ROLL IS DEAD
Ooohoooh yeah
You think you're on top of the world
But you know it's really over
Runnin' round with diamond rings
And coke spoons that are overflowin'
Rock and roll is dead
But all the money in the world
Can't buy you from the place you're going to
Ooohoooh yeah
Rock and roll is dead X3
You can't even sing or play an instrument
So you just scream instead
Oh yeah
You're living for an image
So you got five hundred women in your bed
Oh yeah
Rock and roll is dead
But it's real hard to be yourself
When you're living with those demons in your head
Ooohoooh yeah
Rock and roll is dead X3
Rock and roll is dead X7
4. AGAIN [PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED]
I've been searching for you
I heard a cry within my soul
I never had a yearning quite like this before
Now that you are walking right through my door
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
A sacred gift of heaven
For better worse wherever
And I would never let somebody break you down
Or take your crown, never
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And everytime, I've always known
That you were there, upon your throne
A lonely queen, without a king
I longed for you, my love forever
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
5. IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER
Here we are still together
We are one
So much time wasted
Playing games with love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby It ain't over til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain't over til it's over
How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fears
Kept me wondering, yeah
If I'd always, always be in love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby It ain't over til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over til it's over
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby It ain't over til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over til it's over
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby It ain't over til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over til it's over
Over, over, over.
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby It ain't over til it's over
So many years we've tried
To kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over til it's over
Over, over, over
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby It ain't over til it's over
6. CAN'T GET YOU OFF MY MIND
Life is just a lonely highway
I'm out here on the open road
I'm old enough to see behind me
But young enough to feel my soul
I don't wanna lose you baby
And I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna live my days without you
But for now I've got to be without you
I've got a pocket full of money
And pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But then I think of lovin'
And I just can't get you off of my mind
Babe can't you see
That this is killing me
I don't want to push you baby
And I don't want you to be told
It's just that I can't breathe without you
Feel like I'm gonna lose control
I've got a pocket full of money oh yes I do
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But when it comes to lovin'
I just can't get you off of my mind, yeaaah
Am I a fool to think that there's a little hope
Yeah yeahhhhhheee yeah
Tell me baby, yeah
What are the rules the reasons and the do's and don'ts
Yeah yeahhhhhheee yeah
Tell me baby tell me baby, yeah
What do you feel inside?
I've got a pocket full of money
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds
Oh yeah
But when it comes down to lovin'
I just can't get you off of my mind, yeah
I just can't get you off of my mind, yeah.
