1.Jet City Woman
Every time I leave
You say you won't be there
And you're always there
Every time I cry your name at night
You pull close and say it's alright
I look in your eyes, just like the rain
Washing me, rain wash over me
Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat
Echo in my head like a scream
What you do to me!
CHORUS
Waited so long I can't wait another day without you
Jet City Woman
It's a long way, home to my
Jet City Woman
I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind
Whenever I'm alone I'm thinking
There's a part missing from my heart
Wonder where I'd be without your love
Holding me together now I'm
Watching the time tick, tick away
Face grows longer every day
Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen
But without you I can't breathe
You're the air to me!
CHORUS
Jet City woman
Got to find my way home to her
Jet City Woman
I see her face everywhere I look!
Jet City Woman
Just a thousand miles and I'll be there
Jet City Woman, to make the clouds go away
Time for some blue sky!
Waited so long now the plane's delayed
An hour, reminds me of all our days apart
Hold on, just a little longer
Jet City woman
Wonder where I7d be, you're the air to me
Jet City Woman
Eyes like the rain, rain down on me
Jet City woman
No more nights alone
I'm almost home now
Jet City Woman
Close my eyes, I'm there in my Jet City
2.Anybody Listening？
You and I long to live like wind upon the water
If we close our eyes we'll maybe realize
There's more to life than what we have known
And I can't believe I've spent so long
Living lies I knew were wrong inside
I've just begun to see the light
Long ago there was a dream, had to make a choice or two
Leaving all I loved behind for what nobody knew
Stepped out on the stage
A life under lights and judging eyes
Now the applause has died and I can dream again...
Is there anybody listening？
Is there anyone that sees what's going on？
Read between the lines, criticize the words they're selling
Think for yourself and feel the walls
Become sand beneath your feet
Fell the breeze？
Time's so near you ucan almost taste the freedom
There's a warm wind from the south
Hoist the sail and we'll be gone
By morning, this will all seem like a dream
And if I don't return to sing the song, maybe just as well
I've seen the news and there's not much I can do...alone
Is there anybody listening？ g
Is there anyone who smiles without0 a mask？
What's behind the words-images
They know will please us？
I'll take what's real
Bring up the lights
Is therew anybody listeing？
Is there anyone that sees what's going one？
Read between the lines
Criticize the words they're selling
Think for yourself and feel the walls
Become sand beneath your feet.
3.Best I Can
A child alone in Daddy's room
The gun was hidden their
No one home to catch me when I fall
A young man now in a private chair
I've seen the world through a bitter stare
But my dream is still alive
I'm going to be the best I can
I want to be a busy man
I want to see a change in the future
I'm gonna make the best of what I have
I want to write for a magazine
I'm gonna be the best they've ever seen
I know I'll win if I give it all I can
CHORUS
I won't let go, gotta make the grade
No, I won't let go
to be the best man, the best man that I can
Back street hoop star you've got it good
You uwere the wonder of the crumbling neighborhood
Now taking bids on the next six digit plan
Showed me that my will survived
The tragedy that came into my life
Giving me hope and the new start
That I have
CHORUS
Step by step I dream the plan
]From my chair to walking man
This constant dream is on my mind
Caaase the light I see ahead
Luminate the path I tread
I live to be the best I can
Now I'm moving forward
And I'm never looking back
Straight ahead, focused on the big attack
On a roll and I'm never slowing down
I won't be torn between
The man in the chair
And the man that's in my dream
I'm going to melt the two men into one
CHORUS
4.Another Rainy Night(Without You)
Don't slam the door on your way out
Don't leave without saying goodbye
Another long distance night alone
You leave me wanting, always leave me wanting more
Last word today, coming home to stay？
Wouldn't that be nice, for awhile？
But now my take-out food is growing cold
And the candle's burned a hole in the floor
And I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone
CHORUS
I'm all alone
And it's another rainy night, without you
Guess I'll leave the light on for you
It's just another rainy night without you
Listen, there's a foghorn blowing from the coast tornight
Remember making love in the rain？
Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound
Raindrops taste like tears, without the pain
I'm not much without you, can't leave if I wanted to
Maybe that's why you stay around
But tonight I'll sit here tending the fire
and pace the floor one hundred times in an hour
And check the voice-mail for a message you've called
CHORUS
Waiting by the phone, alone
And it's another rainy night without you
Hate the sound of the closing door
And your footseps walking away
But now my takeout food is growing cold
and the candle's burned a hole in the floor
and I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone
CHORUS
5.Hand on Heart
All eyes were staring you floated through the room
Aarmed with your razor smile cutting to the bone
My voice fell useless you flashed a quick 'Hello'
Feeling the fool, could you tell it showed？
But that was 'sometime ago'
A memory vague and fading slow, of somewhere I'd been
HAND ON HEART
A promise, a word, and a voice
HAND ON HEART
A rhythm of hope and choice will keep us together
I don't know if I can reach that high
It's a long way to fall
Hauntingly holding my fate with a gaze
Like a child mesmerized by the candle's flame
Oh what lies behind those eyes
I could only guess
That certain way you stood apart frome rest
Now where is 'sotime ago？'
Whene everything moved in slow-mo-tion
Caught by my watering eye
HAND ON HEART
A Promise, a word and a voice
HAND ON HEART
Promising I'll never go
HAND ON HEART
For reasons you'll never know, together through thick and thin,
Lose or win, I'll be there for you
Strange how the mind changes time and time again
Thins once important now pale in comparison
HAND ON HEART
A promise, a word, and a voice
HAND ON HEART
A rhythm of hope, and a vision of choice
HAND ON HEART
Promising I'll never go
HAND ON HEART for reasons you'll never know
I promise girl, hand on heart
6.Silent Lucidity
Hush now don't cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over...or has it just begun？
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run to in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the tears
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimension
CHORUS
I-will be watching over you
I-am gonna help you see it through
I-will protect you in the night
I-am smiling next to you...in silent lucidity
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumblng down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You7re safe froom pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
CHORUS
7.Resistance
Protests in New York
Listen to the call of the wild
Brother, sisters carrying signs
Breathe deep before it's too late
The sky is falling burning your eyes
Down in New Orleans
River's boiling, nothing living, nothing to eat
Thank the Lord, Daddy's working 8-5
Paying the doctor, baby's got cancer
CHORUS
Give and take
Has all we've learned been wrong？
Look around at what we've been given
Maybe we've taken too long
Resistance-shouts the man on the right
Can't solve the problem overnight
Ristance-listen to the call of the wild
Burning coal
Got to keep the company warm as the rain keeps killing the trees
Cut 'em down quick
Pay the man his wage, he's making paper
To fuel the 'information age'
Out in the Midwest, hear the roar of the plough
Turning grassland into sand
got to feed the people more everyday
But the wind keeps blowing the land away
CHORUS
Resistance-liberal opposition crying violation
Stop the madness
Resistance-through the din, one voice we should hear
Resistance-listen to the call of the wild
There's no easy solution
The price is high, and it's time to pay
Turn of the century vision, focused on a better way
CHORUS
8.Della Brown
You've got a cardboard house
Live there all the time
Keep your memories tied with string
The face that many once adored
Twenty years gone maybe more
Somewhere you lost the dream
Mama watched your every move, but now you're all alone
She's been gone for awhile
Daddy left some time ago, fading years pass too slow
He's the only one, could make you smile
Oh, you're still crying
Big city bound
Gona make your mark
Read your name in the lights
All the ads and people say, beauty lets you get you way
Tried your best to prove them right
But living on the streets ain't bad, sad people make you glad
Pardon me, could you spare some change
-Oh, you're still crying-
Street corner girl
Watch the crowd go by
Fill your tin can with life
Summer days tend to slip away
Like your men you couldn't make them stay
Hard to choose, whiskey or a wife
Sometimes you wonder where's the end
Where you goin' where you been？
Happiness seems so hard to win
Most never care to find
Della Brown sees it al the time
Looking for that man to make her smile again
9.One and Only
Back in '86
February and a special number
I just had to know
Is this feeling real
I picked up the phone
I was one step closer to the danger zone
I knew she'd steal my heart away
But I know I couldn't live without her love
The first time she looked at me
Her smile stayed on my mind
I never thought I7d ever meet
A woman of her kind
Now I'm lost in a lover's daze
And I'm not walking out
Gonna give my heart away
and hope that she will always stay
CHORUS
Call for me, run to me
Whenever you are lonely
Call for me, run to me my lady love
Won't you come and show me that precious smile
and maybe stay awhile
close the door
Toss the key
Say that you will always be my one and only
Looking back it seems to me
The message in her eyes
Left a lasting spell on me
A feeling I can't hide
Now I'm lost in a lover's daze
And I'm not walking out
Gonna give my heart away
and hope that she will always stay
CHORUS
10.Empire
Last night the word came down
Ten dead in Chinatown
Innocent, they're only crime was
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Too bad, people say, what's wrong with the kids today？
Tell you uright now they've got nothing to lose
They're building EMPIRE!
Johnny used to work after school
At the cinema show
Gotta hustle if he wants an education, he's got a long way to go
Now he's out on the street all day
Selling crack to the people who pay
Got an AK-47 for his best friend, business the American way
CHORUS
Eastside meets westside downtown
No time the walls fall down
Can't you feel it coming？ EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it calling？
Black man trapped again, holds his chains in his hand
Brother killing brother for the profit of another
Game point, nobody wins
Decline, right on time
What happened to the dream sublime？
Tear it all down we'll put it up again
Another EMPIRE？
CHORUS
Can't someone here stop it...？
11.The Thin Line
Another hungry look in her eyes again
Pacing the floor
The hunt begins
Skin-tight leather provides my pleasure
Wake my fear, surge wit the pressure
Walk away and leave forever, do I dare？
Raise my eyes, she stands
Holding out healing hands...are you happy now？
CHORUS
I walk the thin line for you
Do just what you say to
With fear as my friend
I walk the thin line one more time for you
Addictive face pretending, don't speak the word
Forbidden sin relenting, I barely heard...
Screams of entry blur my vision
Wake my fear of divine intervention
Crawl away and bleed forever, if you dare
Hand on mouth the game goes on
Love, our stage to play upon
Are you happy now？
CHORUS
