Tesla Mechanical Resonance Lyrics
1.2 Late 4 Love

(Keith, Skeoch, Hannon, Wheat, Luccketta)

One two three four!

I can't believe this fucked up world in which we're livin' in
Still I do the best that I can
Always got me on the lookout for a getaway
Runnin' hard, I'm a rock 'n' roll man

sign
Tellin' you all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll

Chorus:
Too late for love - baby it's too late
Too late for love - girl I gotta say
That it's you, I know, that makes me feel this way
Don't you know that it's too late for love

Foolish hearts gettin' caught up in a lover's game
That's the way some want it to be
Now all I need is someone, just to get me through the night
Any more is too much for me

sign
Tellin' you all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll

(chorus)

Oh baby it's too late, too late for love, too late, oh yeah

(Solo)

Too late for love, oh baby baby, it's too late for love
Too late for love, oh, I tell ya, it's too late for love

'Cos all I need is someone standin' by my side
I don't care if I have to see you cry
You oughta know my name, yes, it's too late for love


2.Changes

(Keith, Skeoch, Hannon, Wheat, Luccketta)

Changes, time's makin' changes in my life
Rearrangin', can't seem to stop the hands of time
I remember, I was so young, I was much too young to see
Now I'm older, growing older, and I see things differently
Oh can't you see, it's changin' you and me

Chorus:
Time's makin' changes, time's makin' changes in my life
Time's rearrangin', changin' you and me

Faces, strange faces cloud my mind
Empty traces, make it hard for me to find
Somewhere in the distance, is there someone who awaits
For that moment I am taken over by the hands of fate
Can't you see, the world is changin' me

(chorus) - yeah yeah

Nothin' ever stays the same, it's always gonna change
I'm on my way, yeah yeah

(Solo)

Changes, time's makin' changes in my life
Rearrangin', always changin', can't seem to stop the hands of
time
Can't you see, it's changin' everything

(chorus) - yeah yeah

Oh all these changes


3.Cover Queen

(Keith, Hannon)

Looks so good, from her head to feet
Got a perfect ten, there ain't no doubt
She's the kind of girl you dream about

Chorus:
You know she's got it - she's got everything
She knows you want it - oh but you'll never get a thing
Ooh what you're doin', baby what she's doin' to me
I'm head over heels, for that cover queen

Dressed to kill, this ain't no game
And everywhere she goes, she's the talk, she's the talk of the
town
She keeps it clean, but still gets around

(chorus)

Ooh, head over heels for the cover queen, ohh

(Solo)

Hey there cover queen, you know the time will come
Where you're not laughin', neither one
'Cos the pretty smile will have a brandnew face
Will come along to take your place

You know she's got it, now she's got everything
You know you want it, oh but you'll never get a thing
Ooh what you're doin', baby what she's doin' to me
I'm head over heels, head over heels, for that cover queen

(Solo)

Oh every time I look at you, all I wanna do is get next to you
I see your face in a magazine, the best lookin' bitch that I've
ever seen
I'm in love


4.Cumin' Atcha Live

(Keith, Hannon, Wheat)

I'm a mean machine, I'm the kind you don't wanna meet
My middle name is trouble, I'm a danger in the street
My motor's in overdrive, I got my pedal to the floor
Never get enough, always comin' back for more - yeah yeah

Here I come, better step aside
Here I come, I'm comin' atcha live, comin' atcha live

I'm the one you want, I never give a warning twice
Anything could happen like the rollin' of the dice - now!

Here I come, you better step aside
Here I come, comin' atcha live

Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - oh here I come

Come on!

(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!


5.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]


6.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


7.Love Me

(Keith, Hannon, Wheat)

It's day and I'm feelin' high, what's the chances for you and I
I've got a love on my mind, lovin's on my mind

(chorus)

Time was waitin' for me, an hour due

You've got to give me some kind of a sign
Girl, let me know, if you're gonna be all mine

Come on, come on, come on, baby give it to me

You gotta see him, are you ready, to take me in and rock me

(Keith, Luccketta, Hannon)

Every day, yeah yeah, I wait till the morning light
Ooh with a feeling, yeah yeah, something here ain't right
When I think about it now, oh baby, ooh
When I think about all the good times we had
I knew there was something wrong, there was no chance for me and
you

Oh now, now I try to tell you baby, there ain't nothing we can
do
'Cos I'm no good for you, oh no baby, you're no good for me

Now it's been so long, so long, since the last time I've seen
your face
I tell ya, there ain't nobody baby, in this whole wide world
Who could ever take your place, no way, oh no

Now I try to tell you baby, there ain't nothing we can do
'Cos I'm no good for you, no baby, you're no good for me
Oh, what I'm tryin' to say is, we're no good together

You know we can't go on, we can't go on together, no, oh baby
Honey we can't go on, we can't go on this way, baby, oh yeah
Listen to me, oh listen to me, I got something to say, I got

Now what's going round, you're all over town, and you're
bringin' me down

(Solo)

Oh baby, we're no good together, we're no good together
We're no good together

Oh baby baby baby babe you know it's just no good

10.Before My Eyes

Tesla
Five Man Acoustical Jam
Before My Eyes
(Keith, Skeoch, Hannon, Luccketta)

She comes on softly as she moves across the room before me
I can't resist, I'm hypnotized, I'm surrounded by her
I can't, I can't forget that face, and I will, I will go back to
that place

She stands before my eyes, right before my eyes

I can see the colours are coming one after another for me
I see the words, I hear the sound, going round in my head
But I know there's something out there, please tell me, is this
reality

Right before my eyes, right before my eyes

(Solo)

She comes on softly as she moves across the room before me
I can't resist, I'm hypnotized
I can see the colours are coming one after another for me
I see an image of myself

Before my eyes, right before my eyes
Before my eyes, before my eyes

That was nice, whoo! Typical nice, right Philadelphia? Right?
Yeah, I mean, you know (can you turn on the air conditioning,
please?)
Can you turn on the air conditioner, please? It's fuckin' hot!
Turn on the air conditioner, or these people are gonna kill you!
Wait a minute, here. Oh! Oh, hey! (Oh, hey, we got a...)
Oh, Brian, you tried to give this play bass, didn't you, oh,
hell no
Let's go jam a little Ebony and Ivory

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the... well, we don't know that song

But, anyway, right, we got mr. Brian Wheat...
Thank you, that's just what I was... oh, and old Ted Tulsa hat
Well shit, goddamn, hell-puh - alright!
And anyway, we got mr. Brian Wheat on the piano for ya on this
one and
It's a tune of our second album (hit it!)
Hit it


11.Gettin' Better

Tesla
Five Man Acoustical Jam
Gettin' Better
(Keith, Hannon)

All that rain outside my window, it goes on and on, I know
It's gettin' better every day
Soon the sun will shine outside my window, when it's gonna come
No I really, I couldn't say
No no no no no no, it's gettin' better every day - thank you

Can you hear it? Oh, it's gettin' better now, every day, yeah
yeah yeah yeah

I'm a hard workin' man, doin' all that I can, tryin' to make
ends meet
Just a-makin' my way through the jungle today, it's gettin' the
best of me

But it's only gettin' better, and a change is gonna come my way
Yes it's only gettin' better, better every day, aha yeah

I've been changin' the scene, if you know what I mean
Good things are comin' my way
And now I'm livin' my life, and I try doin' it right
Sun shinin' every day

Well it's only gettin' better, and a change is gonna come my way
Yes it's only gettin' better, better every day

(Solo)

Now it's only gettin' better, and a change is gonna come my way
Yes it's only so much better, oh, gettin' better every day, yeah
I can feel it, feel it gettin' better, whoa, day and night
I feel it, feel it gettin' better every day
Gettin' better, it's gettin' better, it's gettin' better


12.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
