1.Paradise Cafe
Lyricist:Steve Krikorian, Charlie Sexton
Well now everything is rosy
And the money's so well spent
This kind of education
Is worth every cent
When your momma pays the tuition
And your dadddy pays the rent
You could learn a lot in college
Although you never went
Now you ain't that funny
And you ain't that smart
But you become a model student
When you step up to the bar
They're drinking their life away
At the paradise cafe
Talking with nothing to say
At the paradise cafe
Daddy's money spends real good
And he's spent a lot today
At the paradise cafe
The neon pink flamingo
Shines down on one and all
Lights up the drunken schoolgirl
As she bounces of the wall
To the slurred shouts of college boys
Who'll soon be at the wheel
It's an awful lot to deal with
Just to get a decent meal
Now you ain't that funny
And you ain't that smart
But you become a model student
When you step up to the bar
They're drinking their life away
At the paradise cafe
Talking with nothing to say
At the paradise cafe
Daddy's money spends real good
And he's spent a lot today
At the paradise cafe
2.The Famous Jane
Lyricist:Steve Krikorian, Charlie Sexton
Nobody knows where she came from
She was everybody's lover and everybody's former friend
With all of the known variations
Her story get's told again and again
She was probably born in Hollywood in the era of the King
She hitch hiked Highway 61 and got elected Queen
She ended up on Bleeker Street down in the underground
And then somebody there called her sweet, and the story got
around
The fame famous Jane, the fame famous Jane
Fame famous Jane
If we've forgotten all details
They'll still remember the name
We met for the first time in fiction
We saw Jane run, so run Jane, run
Jane has become an addiction
You see, Jane's gotten serious and she carries a gun
They talk about her purity
Then they talk about her grace
They talk about standing on the corner
With an electric violin case
Suddenly she disappeared, but she'll be back again
With a brand new face and circumstance
And a whole new batch of friends
But meanwhile the rumors circulate, but the story never ends
Fame famous Jane, fame famous Jane
Fame famous Jane
And if we've forgotten all details
They'll still remember the name
The fame famous Jane, the fame famous Jane
Fame famous Jane
If we've forgotten all details
They'll still remember the name
We've never gotten all details
They'll still remember the name
A sweet Jane
Cool Jane
A proper Jane
My sweet famous Jane
3.Spanish Moon
Lyricist:Doyle (ii) Bramhall, Steve Krikorian, Chris Layton, Charlie
Sexton, Tommy Shannon
Hey, what a pitiful heartbreak
Our own personal tragedy
Who'd have ever guessed it
I'd of bet against anything like this
Ever happening to you and me
And now I'm crying
Now I'm dying
And now I'm crying
Now I'm dying
Listen you can almost here it
The Spanish Moon is laughing at you
Listen close it's getting clearer
The Spanish Moon is laughing at you
It's a rough life on the romantic planet
Tough on the boys and women
Everybody's looking for a little bit of love
Not a lot of love being given
And now we're crying
Now we're dying
And now we're crying
And now we're dying
Listen you can almost here it
The Spanish Moon is laughing at you
Listen close it's getting nearer
The Spanish Moon is laughing at you
Listen you can almost here it
The Spanish Moon is laughing at you
Listen close it's getting nearer
The Spanish Moon is laughing at you
4.Too Many Ways to Fall
Lyricist:Steve Krikorian, Charlie Sexton
A mother has her baby boys and a father doesn't call
From this saddening parody, someone will have to crawl
Crawl through all the dark memories, everyone and all
'Cause there's just one way, that you can stand
Too many ways to fall
All we have is here and now, tomorrow may not come true
There's a million people, who walk this ground
Who might steal your wish from you
A million people maybe not, a human one at all
There's just one way that we can stand
Too many ways to fall, too many ways to fall
Well they might be on the fire escape, could be down the hall
They could be watching every move you make
Through the pinhole in the wall
They're sworn to their duty and they stand so proud and tall
They say, 'It's nothing personal, it's just a job, it's just a
job that's all'
The mother says, 'Now baby boy, you're gonna have to choose
There's good and evil, love and greed and they're all inside of
you
And just as sure as gravity, no one escapes this law
'Cause there's just one way, that we can stand'
Too many ways , too many ways
Too many ways to fall, too many ways to fall
Too many ways to fall, too many ways to fall
So when you wake up in the bushes, passed out on the lawn
And suddenly it dawns on you that mother wasn't wrong
It all comes back like déjà vu, you just can't help but recall
'Cause there's just one way that we can stand
Too many ways , too many ways
Too many ways to fall, too many ways to fall
Too many ways to fall, too many ways to fall
5.Living in a Dream
Lyricist:Doyle (ii) Bramhall, Charlie Sexton
If you were mine
I'd give you all the world
If you were mine
I'd take you higher girl
But you got me waitin'
Oh, you're so cold
Give me time
And time is all we need
For God knows I've tried
I've tried to get you close to me
But tonight
When my eyes are closing
You will be with me
Just let me be, let me believe you're mine
'Cause there's nothing wrong here
I'm just living, living in a dream
Without a sign
You brought me to my knees
Without a sign
I crossed the line, I beg for sleep
But tonight
When my eyes are closing
You will be with me
Just let me be, let me be me, you're mine
'Cause there's nothing wrong here
I'm just living, living in a dream
Just let me be, let me believe you're mine
Just let me be, let me believe you're mine
'Cause there's nothing wrong here
I'm just living, living in a dream
6.Always Believed in You
Lyricist:Steve Krikorian, Charlie Sexton
I was born in the southland, down there in Texas, U.S.A.
I was never supposed to know a moment
Of unhappiness in my life
Somehow it didn't work out that way
I was born back in the sixties
I was born and raised to win
We had beaten, beaten back the darkness
But somehow the darkness slipped back in
If I ever get to Heaven
Which I hope I'm gonna do
They'll say, 'How did you know?'
I'll say, 'I just knew, I always believed in you'
I went looking for a lover
But I didn't know the rules
I made six wrong turns and nearly died
But the 7th time I made it through
I went looking for the answers
I wanted nothing but truth
I went driving towards a light at a hundred miles an hour
But I was running low on proof
If I ever get to Heaven
Which I hope I'm gonna do
And they'll say, 'How did you know?'
I'll say, 'I just knew, I always believed in you'
Gonna walk right up to the bossman I'm gonna say
Couldn't believe the scene down there
It was kinda like livin' in a dream down there
There wasn't too much to believe in down there
Believe it or not, I always believed in you
If I ever get to Heaven
Which I hope I'm gonna do
And they'll say, 'How did you know?'
I'll say, 'I made it through 'cause I always believed in you'
I couldn't believe the crazy scene down there
It was kinda like linin' in a dream down there
There wasn't too much to believe in down there
Believe it or not, I always believed in, in you
I always believed in you, I always believed in you
I always believed in you
7.Shape I'm In
Lyricist:Doyle Bramhall, Doyle Bramhall Ii, Marc Benno
I was down on myself both day and night
I couldn't get a thing to go just right
I was hanging by my thumb and slipping on my feet
I had to take a break I couldn't stand the heat
And just when I thought I could never win
I was doing pretty good for the shape I was in
I went to the movies last night again
I couldn't stay long enough to see the end
'Cause there was something going on that I couldn't see
Everybody's making out on the balcony
I was missing out on the fun again
But I'm doing pretty good for the shape I'm in
I tried so hard to getting back in the race
I'd just be satisfied if I could place
There's so much competition but the best don't always win
Doing pretty good for the shape I'm in
I went to a party and made a few passes
One was a dream and the other was nasty
Well I guess you know by now that I did it again
I was doing pretty good for the shape I was in
I was down like a dollar coming up against a yen
Doing pretty good for the shape I was in
Doing pretty good for the shape I was in
Doing pretty good for the shape I was in
Doing pretty good for the shape I was in
Come on doing pretty good for the shape I was in
8.Good Time
Lyricist:David Bowie
I was hangin' out with some friends of mine
Down in Hollywood just a wastin' time
I knew right then nobody could get me down
'Cause I was takin' myself out on the town
We're gonna have a good time
We're gonna have a good time
Well, I didn't think it could get much better than this
And then Charlie said, 'I know a place'
So I went inside that's when I saw her face
And then I knew I was gonna have a good time
We're gonna have a good time
We're gonna have a good time, yeah
We're gonna have a good time
She was the finest thing that I ever did see
I walked over to her just beggin' her please, hey
I said, 'Hey baby, do you wanna go out with me?'
You wanna know what she said, she said
Oo yeah, we're gonna have a good time
She said, 'We're gonna have a good time'
And then she says something so sweet
We're gonna have a good time
We're gonna have a good time
We're gonna have a good time
9.Carry Me On
Lyricist:Doyle Bramhall Ii
I can't go on living in yesterday
Why do I long to live in yesterday
Find a way to you
Find a way to you
I know only you can carry me on
I know only you can carry me on
I can't replace the feelings of yesterday
I can't erase the pain from yesterday
I'll find a way to you
I'll find a way to you
I know only you can carry me on
I know only you can carry me on
Find a way to you
Find a way to you
I know only you can carry me on
I know only you can carry me on
I know only you can carry me on
I know only you can carry me on, yeah
10.See What Tomorrow Brings
Lyricist:Doyle Bramhall Ii
All good things must come to an end
If I could only be there again, oh yeah, oh yeah
For just a little while
I hear voices in the air
I wish that I could be there
Maybe someday, I don't know
Maybe someday, maybe someway
I don't know
Wait just long enough
See what tomorrow brings
Wait just long enough
See what tomorrow brings
There's so many things I could've said
I hope someday I could be led
Led by your hand to wherever we go
I can't bear the thought of that day
I wish that it could be wiped away
Oh yeah, wiped away
Maybe someday, maybe someway
I don't know
Wait just long enough
See what tomorrow brings
Wait just long enough
See what tomorrow brings
Why do things have to happen this way?
I felt so much anger
When they put away Stevie Ray
Livin' life is so hard to do
When all my time is spent missin' you
Tryin' to get by, oh get by, without your love
I have so many feelings to share
But I look up and you're not there
All I have is memories
All I have, all I have is memories, yeah
Wait just long enough
See what tomorrow brings
Wait just long enough
See what tomorrow brings, yeah
Wait just long enough
See what tomorrow brings
Wait just long enough
See what tomorrow brings, wait
