Tesla Gold Lyrics
1.Heaven's Trail

You know I'm on a slick trip, I'm always ready to kick ass
Up on the stage I'm in a rage, I'm havin' the time of my life
Yes, indeed, what a sweet, sweet life it is

Until some loco two-bit floosie with a Louie Le-Strange
Ain't good for nothin' but trouble
They're just two fools livin' up to their names
And now it's startin' to rain on my parade

You know there's nothin' like the real world to get me down
There's nothin' like the world outside that turns me upside down
It makes me feel like I'm headin' down a one-way, dead-end
street

There's no way out, no way out of this living hell
No way out, no way out, unless you walk heaven's trail
No way out, no way out of this living hell, livin' hell

You know I had it made in the shade, thinkin' that it's not so
bad after all
That's when I woke up, smelled the coffee, I'm back where I
started again, yes
And now it's pourin' rain on my parade

No there's nothin' like the real world to get me down, no
One is there to lift you up, one to drag you down
Now, don't you see that we're heading down a one-way, dead-end
street


There's no way out, no way out of this living hell
No way out, no way out, unless you walk heaven's trail
No way out, no way out of this living hell - I guess I'll live
in hell


Yes, it's a beautiful thing

You know, I'm on a slick trip, I'm always ready to kick ass


2.Lazy Days Crazy Nights

I'm feelin' so much better.
But not quite feelin' fine.
Now, I've got to get my shit together,
Still. Little bit closer to the line.

But I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
It's my way, it's my life.
I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
I'm doin' fine right here on borrowed time.

Needless for you to worry,
No use in losin' sleep.
Now, I really do appreciate it.
For all your concern for me.

But I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
It's my way, it's my life.
I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
I'm doin' fine right here on borrowed time.

Ridin' through stormy weather.
So high I can't look down.
Still I've got to get it together
'Cause I'm lost in the lost in found.

But I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
It's my way, it's my life.
I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
Lazy days and crazy nights.
Give it to me. Lazy days and crazy nights.
Can't do without those lazy days and crazy nights.
Now, I'm doin' fine right here on borrowed t-t-t-time.


3.Love In Vain

Well I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand
Yeah, I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand
Whoa, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell
When all your love's in vain

When the train come in the station
I looked her in the eye
Well the train come in the station
And I looked her in the eye
Whoa, I felt so sad so lonesome
That I could not help but cry

When the train left the station
It had two lights on behind
Yeah, when the train left the station
It had two lights on behind
Whoa, the blue light was my baby
And the red light was my mind

All my love was in vain

All my love's in vain


4.I Ain't Superstitious

Ain't superstitious,
black cat crossed my trail.
I ain't superstitious,
but a black cat crossed my trail.
Bad luck ain't got me so far,
and I won't let it stop me now.
The dogs begin to bark,
all over my neighborhood.
And that ain't all.
Dogs begin to bark,
all over my neighborhood.
Mmm-mmm
This is a mean old world to live in,
And I can't face it all by myself, at all.
And, dogs begin to bark,
all over my neighborhood.
The dogs begin to bark,
all over my neighborhood.
I got a feelin' about the future,
and it ain't too good, I know that.
I know, I know, I know.
Ain't superstitious,
but black cat crossed my trail,
(I said it so many times before)
Ain't superstitious,
a black cat crossed my trail.
Bad luck ain't got me so far,
and you know I ain't gonna let it stop me now.
Come on.

My mama would rock me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields back home;

It was down in Louisiana,
Just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old cotton fields back home.

8.The Ocean

'We've done four already but now we're steady
and then they went'

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door
Got a date, can't be late for the high hopes hailla ball.

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more
Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day
I use to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way. I
don't know

Sitting round singing songs til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.
Oh yeah
It sure is fine
Blow my mind
(something here but not sure what***)

Yeah Yeah

Oh so good


9.Last Action Hero

Evil, do ya feel the thunder?
This time he's got your number, comin' after you.
Hate to think about the mess this's gonna make,
But those who cross the line (???) are gonna die.

But it's the way that ya do what you did to who
And it's a fear they feel cuz they know you're for real.

And it's a fear they feel cuz they know you're for real.

And it's a fear they feel cuz they know you're for real.
You know you're for real.

Now, just like in the movies

10.Into The Now

The future's on it's way, the past is gone
Old and rusted, with your busted bones
Break the crystal ball, you're on your own
Wipe away the fear of the unknown

Now, here we go, on with the show
Makin' our way, just living for today
It's in my sight, and the time is right
For takin' a bow, into the now

Guilty of communication crimes
Was it just a binge, or was I blind
Overcoming opened up my mind
Don't let the things from the past eat you up inside

Now, here we go, on with the show
Makin' our way, just living for today
It's in my sight, and the time is right
For takin' a bow, into the now

Is it love that you break, or is it love that you make
Is it love we're breaking, love we're making, or love just
wasting time

Now, here we go, and it's on with the show
Makin' our way, just living for today
It's in my sight, and the time is right
For takin' a bow, into the now
Now, here we go, on with the show
Makin' our way, just living for today
It's in my sight, and the time is right
For takin' a bow, into the now


11.Heaven Nine Eleven

Tell me why there so much pain today
âCause taking lives is for the gain or so they say
I can't believe it but they feel this way
And that's the way of the world
Tell me why it takes a tragedy to see
To wake us up and bring us down on to our knees
With all the people suffering with diseases

And that the way
That's the way
That's the way of the world

As the world crashes down
Heavens looking better everyday
As the sun burns the ground
There's got to be another way
Is our god looking down
And does it feel everybody's pain
As the world crashes down
Heavens looking better every day

Teach the children what means to love
Show them why we can never give enough
Lets work together we can rise above

And change the ways
Change the ways
Change the ways of the world

As the world crashes down
Heavens looking better everyday
As the sky turns the ground
There's got to be another way
Is our god looking down
And does it feel every body's pain
As the world crashes down
Heavens looking better every day

(Heaven)

As the world crashes down
Heavens looking better everyday
As the sun burns the ground
There's got to be another way
Is our god looking down
And does it feel every body's pain
As the world crashes down
Heavens looking better every day

As the world crashes down
Heavens looking better everyday
As the sky turns the ground
There's got to be another way
Is our god looking down
And does it feel every body's pain
As the world crashes down
Heavens looking better every day

(Heavens looking down) x3


12.Thank You

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
There would still be you and me

Kind woman, I give you my arm
Kind woman, nothing more
Little drops of rain
Whisper of the pain
Tears and love lost in the days gone by

My love is strong
With you there is no wrong
together we shall go until we die
my my my
Inspiration's what you are to me
Inspiration- look, see

And so today, my world smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
Thanks to you, it will be done
For you to me, are the only one

What I say is
Happiness no longer sad
Happiness, I'm glad

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea
There would still be you and me.

Ahhh,
Thank you.

14.Mama's Fool

Lyricist:Johnny Tillotson, Lucille Cosenza, Teddy Wilburn

Out on the road and a long, long way from home
Why must I be so, must I be so misunderstood
While my intentions, my intentions all are good?
Wish only one time that things would turn out like they should
Just like they should

Too many times, too many times payin' the price, just for the
thrill
Too many hearts, too many times, overkill
So many times, double around, how many faces do reveal
How many folks gettin' to be over the hill

She always told me things like those
Weren't made of sugar and spice
She always scolded me, 'Don't let the same dog bite you twice'
Well I, Lord, I've just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool, you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool, I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool, you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool, well I've just been fooled again

Too many lies, shame on the wives, too many cakes and eat it too
Too many hearts goin' straight down the tube
Hell of a dude, did it but don't have the time and the words for
use
Too many rounds, too many times, overuse

She's always telling me
'Just take your time, always think twice'
Forever scolding me, 'Don't let the same dog bite you twice'
Well I, hell, I've just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool, you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool, I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool, she did not raise a fool
Mama I ain't no fool

Oh, let me tell you if it happens again like it did next time
Somebody's gonna have to walk the line, walk the line

She's always telling me
'Take my advice boy and just think twice'
Forever scolding me, 'Don't let the same dog bite you twice'
Well I, Lord, I won't be fooled again

Mama she raised no fool, you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool, I've just been fooled again
Mama she ain't no fool, I may be crazy but I ain't no fool
Mama you crazy fool, may be crazy but I ain't no fool

Crazy, but I ain't no fool, may be crazy, I may be crazy
Crazy, but I ain't no fool

Out in the cold and a long long way from home


15.Try So Hard

Tesla
Bust A Nut
Try So Hard
(Keith, Wheat)

Oh time, when it goes on and on and on again
Like a drop in the rain, like a snowflake in the sun
Fallin' out of the sky on everyone
You and me, everybody, everyone, everybody you see
We travelled so long, seemed like forever
Never mattered just as long as we're together
I've travelled alone, you know it gets so, oh, oh no

The next time, and it goes on and on and over again
Like a drop in the rain, like a snowflake in the sun
Fallin' out of the sky on everyone
You and me, everybody, everyone, everybody you see
You know I've said it before
You're the only one that could make me feel better
I'm lonely, out here on my own

Chorus:
Try so hard - I try so hard to believe
Try so hard - do you believe in me
Try so hard - you know I try so hard, try some more, feelin' is
believin'

(chorus)

(Solo)

Now I've travelled so far, but not forever
Doesn't matter 'cos I know we'll be together
I'm singin' this song till I see you again

(chorus repeats 2x)

Try so hard - yes seein' is believin'
Try so hard - but feelin' is believin'
Try so hard - seein' is believin', feelin' is believin'
Try so hard - again
Try so hard - seein', seein' and feelin' is believin'
Try to hard - yeah, I try so hard, try to believe in you

All that rain outside my window, it goes on and on, I know

Lyricist:Chester Burnett

So you think that it's over
Say your love has finally reached the end
Any time you call, night or day

Time is sure to mend your broken heart
But don't you even worry, pretty darlin'

18.Modern Day Cowboy

Stormy night under dead black skies, Billy pulls into town
Thunder rolls and the lightning bolts come crashin' to the
ground
Cold as ice, hard as stone, as he walks into the room
With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell is
breakin' loose

Chorus:
I said bang bang, shoot 'em all, I said bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land, for the cowboy of the
modern day
Come sundown, don't be hangin' round, 'cos the cowboy'll blow
you away

Al Capone and Bad Boy Jones, on the wrong side of the law
Johnny and his company, always fast to the draw, yeah
Get so lean, feelin' so mean, I try to take my lucky share
'Cos all I saw was ruin, oh, the smell of blood was in the air

(chorus)

(Solo)

Ole!

So here we are and we've come this far, but it's only getting
worse
hurt
The U.S.A., the U.S.S.R., wearin' six-guns to the side
I see the message, it's written on the wall, to my chain-gun
deep inside

(chorus)

It's a showdown, yeah yeah yeah, ohh


19.Paradise

Tesla
Five Man Acoustical Jam
Paradise
(Keith, Wheat, Hannon)

Hold me close now, hold me tight, don't let go of me tonight
You're all I want, you're all I need
Hold me close now, hold me tight, and don't let go of me tonight
Sweet paradise, yeah

How I love all of those crazy little things you've said and done

(Solo)

Hey, we're Pogo! Oh, okay. Here we go
As a matter of fact, this song was wrote about a town that is

We're from California (Californ-I-A. We like Philadelphia
though, I mean)
Oh yeah, we like ya a whole bunch (yeah, we're ready)


20.Signs

Lyricist:Les Emmerson

And the sign says, 'Long haired freaky people need not apply'
So I put my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why?
He said, 'You look like a fine outstanding young man, I think
you'll do'
So I took off my hat, I said 'Imagine that! Huh! Me, working for
you!', oh

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
'Do this, don't do that', can't you read the sign?

And the sign says, 'Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on
sight'
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house
'Hey! What gives you the right?
To put up a fence and keep me out, or to keep mother nature in?
If God was here, he'd tell it to your face, man, you're some
kind of sinner'

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
'Do this, don't do that', can't you read the sign?

Oh, say now mister, can't you read?
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't watch, no, you can't eat, you ain't supposed to be
here
And the sign says, 'You got to have a membership card to get
inside', uh

And the sign says, 'Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and
pray'
But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all
And I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own fuckin' sign
I said, 'Thank you Lord, for thinking 'bout me I'm alive and
doing fine', oh

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
'Do this, don't do that', can't you read the sign?

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
'Do this, don't do that', can't you read the sign?

{Yes! Some old song, called 'Signs Signs'
I wish we did write that one, but we didn't
Wow! Alright}


21.The Way It Is

Tesla
Five Man Acoustical Jam
The Way It Is
(Keith, Luccketta, Skeoch, Hannon)

Doesn't matter who gets the best of who, or who can hurt who the
most, no
It never was meant for it to be that way, never should be that
way at all

Chorus:
The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after
day, yes
That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes

Even though we could never seem to work things out
I still love you just the same, I do
I miss your smile and that sparkle in your eyes
You're so beautiful, never change!

What it is, and what it was, what shall be shall be, yeah

Do you believe, can you believe?

The way it is, that's the way that it goes
Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways

day, yeah yeah
That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes

I see it happen day after day, yeah, yeah
Now I'm workin' in the strangest ways
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(Solo)

Comin' at you live - I'm comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - oh here I come
Comin' at you live - step aside, oh step aside

Ow! Ow! Oh yeah, here I come - here I come!


23.Ez Come Ez Go

Tesla
Mechanical Resonance
Ez Come Ez Go
(Keith, Skeoch, Hannon, Wheat, Luccketta)

You had it right in the palm of your hand, right before your
eyes
Now it's gone and you don't understand, you've got to realize

There comes a time when you've got to let things go as fast as
they come
Wait and see what tomorrow may bring you, get it all while you
can

Sometimes it just feels so right, and other times so wrong
Every new day it brings on the night, the change goes on and on
and on and on

It never stops, no it keeps on rollin', wiped away like an [arch
of]sand
Here it comes, there it goes, always changin' ends

Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, that's what they call it
Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, oh no!

(Solo)

Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, oh, you know that's what they call
it
Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, oh whoa!

Talk of let go when it took so long to get, it's [how the lovin'
goes]


24.Little Suzi

Lyricist:James Diamond, Tony Hymas

Ow

Little Suzi's on the up, looking for a get away
Ruby tries to bring her down, still looking for another way
Little Suzi's on the up, headin' for the spotlights
Ruby finally gets up, lookin' for some quiet night

And the music makes her feel so hot
Ooh and she'll smile for the camera with all she's got
Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true
Little Suzi's on the up

Little Suzi's on the up, now suddenly it's not a game
Ruby's got to give up 'cause Suzi's plainly set on pain
Little Suzi's on the up, cost in cost, your point is made
Ruby's gonna hang around, to make sure Suzi's okay

And the music makes her feel so hot
And she'll smile for the camera with all she's got
Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true
Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true
Little Suzi's on the up

I know that music makes her feel so hot
Ohh and she'll smile for the camera with all she's got
Why don't bring her down, she's a lot like you?
She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true
Oh, don't you bring her down, she's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far when her dreams come true
Little Suzi's on the up, oh yes, she is, ow

Now she's on the up, little Suzi's on the up
Heading for the spotlight, oh little Suzi
Oh and the music makes her feel so hot
Go little Suzi, yeah
Ohh yeah, yeah, ohh oh yeah


25.Rock Me To The Top

Tesla

Rock Me To The Top
(Keith, Skeoch)

You gotta see him, are you ready, to take me in and rock me
steady
Feel the power, feel the heat, put yourself in the driver's seat

You're in the air, I feel you surround me
I'll do anything that you wanna do - come on!

Chorus:
Rock me, rock me (rock), rock me to the top, to the top, baby
Rock me, rock me (rock), don't ever stop, no

I'll take command, take control, now I see you comin' back for
more
I see you like it, but you don't need it, oooh, you wanna feel
it

I'm in the air, feel me surround me
I'll do anything that I want you to - come on!

(chorus)

(Solo)

Rock me, rock me (rock), rock me to the top, [says you looked
hot]to the top
Rock me, rock me (rock), ohh baby don't you stop
(Rock) I wanna feel the air, the air, wanna feel the air (rock)
I wanna feel the air tonight, can you feel the air, ow!


26.Call It What You Want

Lyricist:Brian Wheat, Jeff Keith, Michael Barbiero

I'm in love with a lady and I know
The lady's in love with me
And she knows that I'll always be there
That's why she's willin' and ready

But now and then, every once in a while
Something inside of me, maybe inside of her
Have you ever had one of those days
When it all is goin' wrong?

And it just can't seem to get along
But through it all you know you're gonna make it

Call it true love, call it not meant to be
You can call it anything at all, you see
Call it what you want
It's all the same to me

Music means a lot to me
Like love, I make it when I can
All I am is all I'll ever be
And that's just a boy from Texarkana

But now and then, oh, but once in a while
They start treatin' me like some kind of superstar
Need I mention at the end of the day
What matters most of all

It's not where you're at or where you're comin' from
When all is said and done, you can call it

Heavy metal, hard-core, punk, pop or thrash
You can call it anything, it don't matter to me
Call it what you want
It's all music to me

Call it communism, call it free
Some call the ocean, what some call the sea
Call it what you want
It doesn't change a thing for me, not a thing

Baby's lyin' in a cradle
Universe is all within its reach
Wearin' rags or mink and sable
Needs a guidin' hand or it's out on the street

Now, momma's out, she's never at home
Daddy's takin' care of business, he's out on the road
It's rainin' cats and dogs
But the child within us all must face the storm

Call it individuality
Some call it fate, others reality
Call it what you want
It doesn't matter to me

Call it communism, call it free
Some call the ocean, what some call the sea
Call it what you want
It doesn't change a thing for me, not a thing


27.Edison's Medicine

Lyricist:Brian Wheat, Frank Hannon, Jeff Keith, Michael Barbiero, Tom
Skeoch

You're guilty of crime in the first degree
Second and third as well
My jury finds you'll be serving your time
When you go straight to hell

'Cause he was Lord of the lightning though socially frightening
But never out to sell
Their nickels and pence meant more than did sense
And not the sensible thing

Nor did the man outta time, man outta time
Thought you was crazy, you was one of a kind
Man outta time, man outta time
All along, world was wrong, you was right

All that he saw, all he conceived
They just could not believe
Steinmetz and twain were friends that remained
Along with number three

He was electromagnetic, completely kinetic
New Wizard of the West
But they swindled and whined that he wasn't our kind
And said Edison knew best

He was the man outta time, man outta time
Thought you was crazy, you was one of a kind
Man outta time, man outta time
So you'd say your mind

You took a shot and it did you in
Edison's medicine
You played your cards but you couldn't win
Edison's medicine

I spent twelve years of hard time, more like the best years of
my life
Never heard or read a single word about the man and his wicked
mind
They'll sell you on Marconi, familiar but a phony
Story goes they sold their souls, swore that you'd never know

About the man outta time, man outta time
Thought you was crazy, you was one of a kind
Man outta time, man outta time
Swore you'd say your mind

You took a shot and it did you in
Edison's medicine
You played your cards but you couldn't win
Edison's medicine

You took a shot and it did you in
Edison's medicine
You played your cards but you couldn't win
Edison's medicine


28.Song And Emotion

Lyricist:Frank Hannon, Jeff Keith, Michael Barbiero, Tom Skeoch

See him there, most every day
A lonely man and his guitar
In his eyes, I see the pain
All the faces and the places
All the trouble that he's seen

There was a time, there was a day
They'd come from miles around
They all knew his name
But days gone by are gone
Now only memories remain

Then he starts to play
Suddenly the pain slowly fades away
Tattered, torn, and frayed
There's a place within his heart
He'll always save

For the song and emotion
Know he's got to his dying day
Song and emotion
You can hear him play

You can still hear him say
'Better run for cover
'Cuz it looks like rain again'

And now his life is but a
Shadow of his dreams
The calm is over
Been stormin' for years
He turns and leans
His shoulder to the wind, lost again

All alone on his way to the top
Somehow, somewhere, something was lost
Through it all he knew his only friend was
Song and emotion
Know he's got to his dying day
Song and emotion

Where are they now?
Where are those people
Who promised him his dreams?
Where are they now for this
Lonely creature on the streets
Broken, humbled by the cold reality?
Life at the top ain't always what it seems

Oh, better run for cover
'Cuz it looks like rain again
You best be careful
Of what you dream
Of what you dream

Oh yeah, yeah-e-yeah
Yeah-e-yeah, yeah-e-yeah

Song and emotion
Song and emotion
Song and emotion
Song and emotion


29.What You Give

Who's the one that makes you happy?*
Or maybe,
Who's the one always on your mind?
And who is the reason you're living for?
Who's the reason for your smile?

I feel so lonely and I know I'm not the only one
To ever feel this way
I love you so much that I think I'm going insane
I've gone crazy, Outta my head
I've gone crazy, Outta my head
Can't think about nothin' but your good, good love
And what you give

Everyone needs somebody
And you know
Everybody needs someone
Well then I guess it's true
Everybody needs a special kind of love
And you're the only one I'm thinking of
You mean the world to me
You are my only

I feel so lonely and I know I'm not the only one
To carry on this way
I love you so much I lose track of time
Lose track of the days
I'm going outta my head
Going crazy, Outta my head
Can't think about nothin' but your good, good love
And what you give

It's not what you got, it's what you give
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live
It's only what you give
Only what you give
Only what you give
It's not what you got, but the life you live
It's the life you live

And you're the one that makes me happy
Oh yeah baby
And you're the one always on my mind
Well then yes it's true
You are my reason
My one and only
That I've been living for
Why can't forever be
Forever and nothing more?

I feel so lonely and I know I'm not the only one
To ever feel this way
I love you so much I lose track of time
Lose track of the days
I'm going out of my head
Going crazy, out of my head
Can't think about nothin' but your good, sweet love
And what you give

It's not what you got, It's what you give
It ain't the life you choose, It's the life you live
It's not what you got, It's what you give
And it ain't what it's not, But what it is
Only what you give
Only what you give
Only what you give
It's not what you got, It's what you give
What you give
It ain't the life you choose, It's the life you live
It's only what you give
Only what you give
It's only what you give
It's not what you got, But what you give
It's only what you give
It's only what you give, yeah
It's only what you give
It's only what you give
It's only what you give

Into The Now
Caught In a Dream
If you can, imagine this
The whole world sharin one big kiss
These are thoughts all through my brain
That I daydream everyday that I'm alive and well
Well now, I'm alive. I'm feelin...WELL
It's my life to live my way
So I'll keep daydreamin away
Who knows, maybe someday it will all come true
And I will get my way & we will live as one


I'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all
No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now
I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible
I aint gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dream


And what can not will be done, for every living thing under the
sun
Forget color, forget race, and just be one big happy face
Among this sea of people, live among God's creatures, sharin
love
That was sent down from above, here to share with one another
Father, brother, sister, mother, everybody sharin love, sharin
love


I'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all
No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now
I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible
I aint gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dream


This is my dream!


I close my eyes and everything will be alright
Here in my fantasy, livin in harmony
Make my dream come alive...Oh yea!


I'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all
No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now
I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible
I aint gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dream


I'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all
No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now
I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible
I aint gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dream


Now, if you can, imagine this...
The whole world sharin one big kiss
Take away the pain and hurt
Make like Heaven here on Earth
Without reason to die and givin everlastin life to all...


32.Steppin' Over

Tesla
time's makin' changes:the best of tesla
Steppin' Over
i know i said i knew
all the right things to do
outta nowhere
somethings wrong
why would you choose,some knew it that you knews, once again
my trust is gone
you're never gonna change
'cause you made up your mind
ain't no body stoppin you
crossing that line

(chorus:)
you're steppin over
to the other side
we left a trail
it only appeals
to how it makes you feel inside
I know although it seems
the grass is growin and its always green
you're steppin over

wish i knew the way
and all the right things to say
only no way you'd hear what i'd say
i remember when you
used to be a friend i could talk to
and i trusted you
see, it doesn't matter
did you want it this way
ain't nobody stoppin you, take it away

(chorus)

Step on over, it's all yours
no one can touch you in your world
you're safe inside
don't even take the time to think about what you left on your
way to paradise

I've been hopin'
when you open your eyes
that you see it right
i was hopin'
i keep dreamin
to set it aside, stop feelin' alive
only i'm lying to myself
if it doesn't matter, then your losing your mind
ain't nobody stopin you, cross that line

(chorusX2)
