1. HOLD ME NOW

Dreaming 'bout the future and drinkin' on the past
Thinkin' 'bout the things that been forgotten
Tryin' to remember and tryin' to forget
That my life is empty without you
Sayonara, close your eyes now little girl
'Cause tomorrow hides a whole different world

Hold me now, you gotta guide me through the night
Hold me now, make my ice-cold blood turn warm

Talkin' 'bout our friends in love
Our friends with broken hearts
The one's I always keep forgiving
That funny angel shot a poison pointed dart
Tonight I wanna keep on living
For your love, close your eyes now little girl
'Cause tomorrow's hidin' a whole different world

Hold me now, you gotta guide me trough the night
Hold me now, and make it last forever
Hold me now, be my guide just for a while
Hold me now and make my ice-cold blood turn warm


2. FREEDOM DON'T LAST FOREVER

It don't look like a happy home
For the monkey in the corner
Behind the bars inside the cage
The sadness makes me shiver
Freedom don't last forever

It's no way never near good taste
And puts my good sense to the test
Makes me wonder who's the beast
In the eyes of the audience
Freedom don't last forever

And the way love burns
Twists and turns
And tears us all apart
Let me tell you my old friend
It can also break your heart

Can't take no more
Lock the door
Leave me here with my self-pity
Leave me alone
With my lazy bones
And a banana on the branch of my tree

Can't take no more
Lock the door
Leave me here with my self-pity
Leave me alone
With my lazy bones
With a dream and a memory

Loneliness is a ghost
Trapped in a room of silence
Inside my head I hear the roar
The roar of a crazy lion
Freedom don't last forever
Freedom don't last forever


3. LIVIN' WITH ME

Went down to the liquor store -
Had enough - but I needed more
Give me a six pack,
I got money - I got cash -
Take my life
Break the seal
Take my knife
Cut the waitin' - say the word
No hesitatin' -
Can't you see that
I'm hungry!
I been a dirty liar, a
Cold-hearted diplomat
And now I keep on tryin'
Tryin' hard to forget
I used to be a coward,
No Clark Gable
No stick of dynamite
No funky fire sign
This river's runnin' dry
You'll never capture
It's liquid soul!
Daylight I'm angry
Lonely, but I found
Somethin' solid gold
On this endless road
I like the glow
When the fire turns to coal
And I see your mystery
Send me on my way
Sometimes I wander
Sometimes I leave for good
Livin' up my fantasy
Livin' in a world like you
She ask me do you love me
I answer I don't know
She ask me do you love me
Yes I love you girl!
Givin' up my freedom
Givin' up my fantasy
I'm givin' up!!
Go go
(Bass solo)
Sometimes prisoner
Sometimes I feel free
I'm livin' up - livin' up
Livin' up my fantasy
Already know the answer
Information plain to see
Through the muddy water
No sticks of dynamite
No need for sacrifice
This river ain't runnin' dry
You'll never capture
It's liquid soul!!
