One of these nights, (Guitar Solo) One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights,
We're gonna find out, pretty mama,
What turns on your lights.
The full moon is callin',
The fever is high,
And the wicked wind whispers and moans.
You got your demons,
You got desires,
Well, I've got a few of my own.
Ooo, someone to be kind to
In between the dark and the light
Comin' right behind you,
Swear I'm gonna find you
One of these nights
One of these dreams,
One of these lost and lonely dreams, now,
We're gonna find one,
One that really screams.
I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself,
I've been searching for an angel in white.
I've been waitin' for a woman that's a little of both,
And I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight.
Ooo, loneliness will blind you
In between the wrong and the right.
Ooo, comin' right behind you,
Swear I'm gonna find you
One of these nights
In between the dark and the light.
Comin' right behind you,
Swear I'm gonna find you,
Get you, baby, one of these nights
One of these nights
One of these nights
(I can feel you, I can feel you)
One of these nights
Comin' right behind you,
Swear I'm gonna find you now
One of these nights
(It gets so dark,
So dark and cold and lonely)
One of these nights
One of these crazy, crazy, crazy nights.
Too Many Hands
She's one of a kind, (Guitar Solo) Too many hands bein' laid on her
Sometimes hard to find
Like a rainbow.
Well, she's lost all her glory,
And could tell you some stories that we all need to know.
And there's too many hands bein' laid on her.
Too many eyes will never see
That it's dragging her down,
But you won't hear a sound as she turns 'round.
A beauty on a flight
That always seems to turn the tide at midnight.
And for her there is no rest,
We are doing what is best
For our futures.
One of these days, she may not be so good to you.
One of these days, she night shake you to the ground.
But her fire is still burning,
And her heart is still yearning to be found.
Too many eyes will never see,
That it's dragging her down,
Still you won't hear a sound 'till she turns 'round.
Too many hands
Too many hands
Hollywood Waltz
Springtime, the acacias are blooming,
Southern California will see one more day.
Dreamland and business is booming,
Birds are asingin' as I drift away.
She looks another year older,
From too many lovers who used her and ran.
But some nights, oh she looks like an angel,
She's always willing to hold you again.
So give her this dance,
She can't be forsaken.
Learn how to love her
With all of her faults.
She gave more than she's taken
And I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz.
Springtime, and the lady is grieving,
Her lovers just stand there with nothing to say.
They got what they wanted.
They 're packing and leaving,
To look for another to love the same way.
The Hollywood Waltz, the Hollywood Waltz.
Lyin' Eyes
City girls just seem to find out easy,
How to open doors with just a smile.
A rich old man, and she won't have to worry.
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
Late at night, the big old house gets lonely.
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
And it breaks her heart, to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
So she tells him she must go out for the evening,
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving.
She's headed for the cheatin' side of town.
You can't hide your lyin' eyes.
And your smile is a thin disguise.
I thought by now, you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes.
On the other side of town, a boy is waiting,
With firey eyes and dreams no one could steal.
She drives on through the night, anticipating,
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel.
She rushes to his arms, they fall together.
She whispers that it's only for a while.
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever.
She goes away, and leaves him with a smile
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
Another night, it's gonna be a long one.
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
She wonders how it ever got this crazy.
She thinks about a boy she knew in school.
Did she get tired, or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool.
My oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully.
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things?
You're still the same old girl you used to be.
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes.
Take It to the Limit
All alone, at the end of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinkin' 'bout a woman who might have loved me
I never knew.
You know I've always been a dreamer
Spent my life runnin' 'round.
And it's so hard to change
Can't seem to settle down.
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turnin' out, and burnin' out, and turnin' out the same.
So put me on a highway,
And show me a sign.
And take it to the limit one more time.
You can spend all your time makin' money
And spend all your love makin' time.
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow, would you still be mine?
And when you're lookin' for your freedom
Nobody seems to care
And you can't find the door
Can't find it anywhere
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're comin' back, and runnin' hack, and comin' back for more
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time.
Visions
Visions, that keep stirrin' my soul
Visions, that will never grow old.
Sweet baby, I had some visions of you
If I can't have it all, just a taste will do.
Go ahead and live all your fantasies
(Don't you ever think about the other side?)
Helps you get from where you are to where you wanna be
(You and me oughta be takin' a ride)
Do the best you can, and you make your mistakes
(If you don't like it you can say that you tried)
'Cause all I have to give is whatever it takes.
Play on, el chingadero!
Play on!
Play on, el chingadero!
Dance, angel, dance, till you wear out your blues
(Only thing that's gonna save you now)
Take another chance, you've got nothing to lose
(The boy didn't love you anyhow)
Oh, you drive me wild when you do what you do
(Something makes me wanna take you down)
If I can't have it all, just a taste will do
Just a taste of you.
After the Thrill is Gone
Same dances in the same old shoes, (Guitar Solo) You're afraid you might fall out of fashion,
Some habits that you just can't lose.
There's no tellin' what a man might use,
After the thrill is gone.
The flame rises but it soon descends,
Empty pages and a frozen pen.
You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends,
After the thrill is gone, oh, after the thrill is gone.
What can you do when your dreams come true,
And it's not quite like you planed?
Oh, what have you done to be losin' the one?
You held it so tight in your hand.
Time passes and you must move on,
Half the distance takes you twice as long.
So you keep on singin' for the sake of the song,
After the thrill is gone.
And you're feelin' cold and small.
Oh, any kind of love without passion-
Well, that ain't no kind of lovin' at all.
Same dances in the same old shoes,
You get too careful with the steps you chose.
You don't care about winning but you don't wanna lose,
After the thrill is gone,
after the thrill is gone.
After the thrill is gone, oh, after the thrill is gone.
I Wish You Peace
I wish you peace
When the cold winds blow
Warmed by the fire's glow.
I wish you comfort
In the lonely times
And arms to hold you
When you ache inside.
I wish you hope
When things are going bad,
And kind words when times are sad.
I wish you shelter from the raging wind.
And coolin' waters at the fever's end.
I wish you peace when times are hard,
The light to guide you through the dark.
And when storms are high
And your dreams are low,
I wish you the strength to let love grow on,
I wish you the strength to to let love flow.
I wish you peace when times when times are hard,
The light to guide you through the dark.
And when storms are high and your dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let love grow on,
I wish you the strength to let love flow,
I wish you the strength to let love grow-on,
I wish you the strength to let love grow on
