Warrant Rocking Tall Lyrics
1.Down Boys

Lyricist:Jani Lane, Joey Allen, Sweet Steven, Jerry Dixon, Eric Turner
Writer(s):Jani Lane, Joey Allen, Sweet Steven, Jerry Dixon, Eric Turner

Certain things ya do really make me mad I must confess
The way the street light sihlouettes your thighs inside your
dress
Wild child in the streets I think I've seen you but I really
don't know
One million miles an hour headed out to where the down boys go

Whoa, can we rewind to where we've been
Ooo i wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
I wanna go where the down boys go baby.

You comb your hair put on your shades you look real cool.
You're givin' me the runaround making me feel like a fool.
Got a lot of nerve to call me cheap even though it's true.
I don't care where go tonight take me along with you.

Whoa, can we rewind to where we've been
Ooo i wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
I wanna go where the down boys go baby.

Certain things ya do really make me mad I must confess
The way the street light sihlouettes your thighs inside your
dress

Whoa, can we rewind to where we've been
Ooo i wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
I wanna go where the down boys go baby.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where they go?

Writer(s):Shorty Medlock

All on fucking board!

Well. Train, train
Lord take me on out of this town
Yeah train, train, come on
Take me on out of this town
That woman I'm in love with
Lord, she's Memphis bound.

Oh I'm leavin' here
I'm just a raggedy hobo
Leavin' here

That woman I'm in love with
Lord, she got to go

Oh yeah.
Good bye, pretty mama
Get yourself a money man
Lord, goodbye pretty mama
Get yourself a money man
You take that midnight train
To Memphis, Lord if you can
Oh you take that midnight train
To Memphis, leave if you can
Oh yeah, yeah

3.I Saw Red

Lyricist:Joey Allen, Steven Sweet, Jerry Dixon, Eric Turner, Jani Lane
Writer(s):Joey Allen, Steven Sweet, Jerry Dixon, Eric Turner, Jani Lane
Mixing:Beau Hill/Jani Lane/Warrant/CBS

Oo it must be magic
How inside your eyes
I see my destiny
Every time we kiss
I feel you breathe your love so deep inside of me
If the moon and stars should fall
They'd be easy to replace
I would lift you up to heaven
And you would take their place

Then I saw red
When I opened up the door
I saw red
My heart just spilled onto the floor
And I didn't need to see his face
I saw yours
I saw red and then I closed the door

I don't think I'm gonna love you anymore

Everyday I wake up
I thank God that you are still a part of me
We've opened up the door to which
So many people never find the key
And if the sun should ever fail to send its light
We would burn a thousand candles
And make everything alright

Then I saw red
When I opened up the door
I saw red
My heart just spilled onto the floor
And I didn't need to see his face
I saw yours
I saw red and then I closed the door
I don't think I'm gonna love you anymore

I've been hurt
And I'm in pain
I'm not sure that I'll be fine
I never thought it would end this way

Then I saw red
When I opened up the door
I saw red
My heart just spilled onto the floor
And I didn't need to see his face
I saw yours
I saw red and then I closed the door
I don't think I'm gonna love you anymore

Oo it must be magic


4.32 Pennies In A Ragu Jar(Album Version)

Lyricist:J. Lane, J. Cagle, J. Dixon, S. Chamberlain, Elgin Turner
Writer(s):J. Lane, J. Cagle, J. Dixon, S. Chamberlain, Elgin Turner

Spend my time and all my money on a knob for my brass bed
Climb to the top of the highest mountain just to see how far I
get
Dancin' with my shadow and I let my shandow lead
If I die with a penny in my pocket then I guess thats all I need

Oooh baby where you going to
I was thinking that maybe I would come along with you
I could walk on down the road till I found me someone new
But I think I'll stay just one more day, cuz i'm in love with
you
Ohh, ohh
Yeah
Ooh, ooh, baby, yeah

32 pennies in a Ragu jar
That's all I've got to my name
I love her and she loves me to the pennies its all the same

Oooh, baby, where you going to
I was thinking that maybe I would come along with you
I could walk on down the road till I found me someone new
But I think I'll stay just one more day, cuz i'm in love with
you
Ohh, ohh

my-my-my-my-my-my baby yeah

32 pennies in a Ragu jar
That's all I've got to my name
But I love her and she loves me to the pennies it's all the same
Ooh, ooh
Yeah
Ooh ooh

Give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love
Ooh, ooh,
Whoa yeah!


5.The Bitter Pill

Lyricist:Jani Lane
Writer(s):Jani Lane

Sometimes I'm lost
And then I'm found
Sometimes I feel
Turned inside out
I'm often silent when I'm screaming inside

Instead of love
We tend to hate
We never quite
Appreciate
How much the other person cares or tries

Hold me close
Don't ever let me go
Cause I'm confused
But maybe someday I will know why

Sometimes I'm right as rain
And when it rains it pours
You're such a mystery
Why can't I unlock the door
All that glitters isn't gold
Too much is overkill
Love can be beautiful
Or a bitter pill

And when I'm right
I'm also wrong
We give and take
To get along
There's so much more to this than I ever dreamed

And when you smile
I have to laugh
And when you cry
I'm torn in half
So calm and yet so loose at the seams

Oh
Hold me close
Don't ever let me go
I'm confused
But maybe someday I will know why

Sometimes I'm right as rain
And when it rains it pours
You're such a mystery
Why can't I unlock the door
All that glitters isn't gold
Too much is overkill
Love can be beautiful
Or a bitter pill

Liebe kann eine bittere pille sein
Eine bittere pille
Liebe ist eine bittere pille
Eine bittere pille
Liebe kann eine bittere pille sein
Ich will ein bier
Ich will besoffen sein
Die ganze welt ist dumm
Mir steht es so im hals
Ich sage dir
Die liebe kann nur luge sein

Hold me close
Don't ever let me go
Cause I'm confused
But maybe someday I will know why

Sometimes I'm right as rain
And when it rains it pours
You're such a mystery
Why can't I unlock the door
All that glitters isn't gold
Too much is overkill
Love can be beautiful
Or a bitter pill
Or a bitter pill

Dirty, rotten, filthy, stinkin...

She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good makes a grown man cry
Sweet Cherry Pie

Swingin' on the front porch
Swingin' on the lawn
Swingin' where we want
'Cause there ain't nobody home
Swingin' to the left
And swingin' to the right
If I think about baseball
I'll swing all night yea

Swingin' in the living room
Swingin' in the kitchen
Most folks don't 'cause
They're too busy bitchin'
Swingin' in there 'cause
She wanted me to feed her
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater

I scream you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try 'cause
You can't ignore her

She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good
Make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie oh yea
She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good
Bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie

Swingin' to the drums
Swingin' to guitar
Swingin' to the bass
In the back of my car
Ain't got money
Ain't got no gas
But we'll get where
We're goin' if we
Swing real fast

I scream you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try 'cause
You can't ignore her

She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good
Make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie oh yea
She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good
Bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie, yeah, pie

Swing it! All night long,
Swing it!
Swingin the bathroom
Swingin' on the floor
Swingin' so hard
We forgot to lock the door
In walks her daddy
Standin' six foot four
He said you ain't gonna swing
With my daughter no more

She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good
Make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie oh yea
She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good
Bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie
Sweet cherry pie

Swing it!


7.Heaven

Lyricist:Jani Lane, Joey Allen, Sweet Steven, Jerry Dixon, Eric Turner
Writer(s):Jani Lane, Joey Allen, Sweet Steven, Jerry Dixon, Eric Turner

I've got a picture of your house
And you're standing by the door.
It's black and white and faded,
And it's looking pretty worn.
See the factory that I worked
Silhouetted in the back.
The memories are gray but man they're really coming back.

I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as i'm the hero of this little girl

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends might say

How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like blue suburban skys
When i come home late at night
And you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe

I dont need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday (Ah, ah)
No matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way, yeah

Now the lights are going out,
Along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you.

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
ohhhh ohhh
No matter what your friends say
I know we're gonna find a way

(Heaven)

Whoah, oohh, ohhh
Whoah, oohh, ohhh

(Heaven)

It's not too far away

Whoah, oohh, ohhh

Yeah yeah yeah


8.Quicksand(Album Version)

Lyricist:Jani Lane
Writer(s):Jani Lane

Gonna write a letter to my baby
and this is what im gonna say
on second thought i think i'll the time
to say it to her face

i can't eat i can't sleep
i feel like i'm going down for the last time
i'm sinking in your sea
of insecurity

and do i love you-yes i do
but i love my own life too

as i lay here holding your hand
i can't help but feel you don't understand
the tighter you hold on
the more that it's feeling like quicksand

our fate is written in the stars
it's written on your face
now your holding too tight to my heart
it's gonna burst and leave an empty space

and do i love you- yes i do
but i love my own life too

as i lay here holding your hand
i can't help but feel you don't understand
the tighter you hold on
the more that it's feeling like quicksand


9.Machine Gun

Lyricist:Jani Lane
Writer(s):Jani Lane

Well, the first time that I saw you
I could not speak a word
My tongue was tied in giant knots
And I felt so disturbed

At the feeling rushing through me
The heat inside my veins
At the way my nerve ends tingle
Every time you call my name

I've got a lust ignited fever
And I can't put out the flame

Next time that I saw you
I felt so at ease
You had a languid disposition
I had an willingness to please

And your candy apple red lips
Full of violets and sex
Had me harder than a coal train
Had my collar wringing wet burn
But I'm not finished yet

My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun

You're a symphony of elegance
A masterpiece of grace
And animated work of art
Who's acquired a taste

For the flesh of weaker lovers
Lie down on their backs
To be ridden at your leisure
And be taken off like hats

I'm not here for you to walk on
And I'm not your welcome mat

My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun

A machine gun, yeah

The first time that I saw you
I could not speak a word
My tongue was tied in giant knots
And I felt so disturbed

At the feeling rushing through me
The heat inside my veins
At the way my nerve ends tingle
Every time you call my name

I've got a lust ignited fever
And I can't put out the flame

My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun

Ma-ma-ma-machine gun

Machine


10.We Will Rock You(Album Version)

Lyricist:B. May
Writer(s):B. May

Buddy you're a boy
Make a big noise playin' in the street
Gonna be a big man some day
You got blood on your face, big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you

Buddy you're a young man
Hard man, fighting in the street
Gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on your face, big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place

We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you

Buddy you're an old man, poor man pleading with your eyes
Gonna make you something some day
You got mud on your face, big disgrace
Somebody better put you back in your place

We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
