I used to hurry a lot
I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out till the break of day
Oh, that didn't get it
It was high time I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way
Oh, I did some damage
I know it's true
Even though I was so lonely
Till I found you
You can go the distance
We'll find out
In the Long Run
We can handle some resistance
If our love
is a strong one
Peaople talkin' about us
they got nothin' else to do
when it all comes down
we will still come through
In the Long Run
Ooh, I want to tell you
It's a Long Run
You know I don't understand
Why you don't teach yourself better
And Do the Crazy things that you do
And all the debutants in Houston, Baby
Couldn't hold a candle to you
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think you had to, honey?
Who is gonna Make it?
We'll find out
In the Long Run (in the Long Run)
I know we can take it
If our Love
Is a strong one (is a strong one)
Well we're scared
but we ain't shaken
We're kind of bent but we ain't breakin'
In the Long Run
Ooh, I want to tell you
It's a Long Run
In the Long Run
In the Long Run
Gonny Find Out, ooh fi-fi-fi-find out
I'ts a long long long long
long long long long
Ooh run run run baby
run run baby...

I Can't tell you Why

Look at us Baby
Up all Night
Tearin' our love apart
Won't be the same to people
who live through years in the Dark
Every time I try to walk away
something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell You why
When we get get crazy
It just ain't right
(try to keep your head little girl)
Girl, I get lonely, too
You don't have to worry
just hold on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)
Cause I love You (oh..oh..oh)
Nothin's wrong as far as I can see
You make it harder than it has to be
And I can't tell you why
No, Baby
I cant tell you why
I can't tell you why
Every Time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why
No, no Baby
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I cant tell you why....

In the City

Somewhere out on that horizon
Out beyond the neon Lights
I know there must be something better
But there nowhere else in sit
it's survival in the City
when you live from day to day
city streets don't have much pity
When you're down that's where you stay
In the City
Aha
Ooh...ooh
In the City
Aha
I was born here in the city
with my back against the wall
Nothin goes and Life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon far away from the neon sky
I know there must be something better
And I can't stay another night
In the City
(Aha)
(ooh...ooh..ooh...ooh)
In the City
(Aha)
In the City
In the City
In the City
(Aha)
(fades out)

The Disco Strangler

Lookin' for the good life
Dressed to kill
She don't have to worry 'cause there's
Always someone else who will
Loose and loaded every night
Dancing underneath the flashing light
Saying, "Look at me baby, look at me
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm somebody"
Just slip into the arms of
The disco strangler
He's been around here all along, baby
Been waiting for his time to come
You looking for attention darling
He will surely give you some
He's the crimson in your face du jour
The fiddler in your darkest night
He's the melody without a cure
And Rome is burning, but that's alright
Just slip into the arms of
The disco strangler
Just slip into the arms of
The disco strangler

King of Hollywood

Well he sits up there on his leatherette
Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn't had yet
When he thinks he wants a closer look
He gets out his little black telephone book
(He's calling, calling, calling)
(He's calling, calling, calling)
(He's calling, calling, calling)
(He's calling)
Come sit down here beside me honey
Let's have a little heart to heart
Now look at me and tell me darling
How badly do you want this part?
Are you willing to sacrifice?
And are you willing to be real nice?
All your talent and my good taste
I'd hate to see it go to waste
We gonna get you an apartment, honey
We gonna get you a car
Yeah, we gonna take care of you darling
We gonna make you a movie star
For years I've seen 'em come and go
He says, "I've had 'em all, you know"
I handled everything in my own way
I made 'em what they are today
After a while, nothing was pretty
After a while, everything got lost
Still his jacuzzi runneth over
Still he just couldn't get off
He's just another power junky
Just another silk-scarf monkey
You'd know it if you saw his stuff
The man just isn't big enough

Heartache Tonight

Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothing we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
And make it come out right
There's gonna be a Heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a Heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Lord, I know
Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
But nobody wants to go home now
There's too much going on
This night is gonna last forever
Last all, last all summer long
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Lord, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
The moon's shining bright
So turn out the light
And we'll get it right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know (A heartache baby)
Somebody's gonna hurt someone (somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothing we can do (everybody)
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
And make it come out right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Let's go
We can beat around the bushes
We can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parking lot
But either way there's gonna be a -
Heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know
Oh, I know
There'll be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know

Those Shoes

Tell me whatcha gonna do tonight mama
There must be someplace you can go
In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama
There must be someone you
God knows you're looming good enough
But you're so smooth and the worlds rough
You might have something to lose
Oh no, pretty mama, what you gonna do in those shoes?
Got the pretty little straps around your ankles
Got the shiny little chains around your heart
You've got to have your independence
But you don't know just where to start
Desperation in the singles bars
All the jack-offs in their fancy cars
You can't believe your reviews
Oh no, you can't do that, once you've started wearin' those shoes

(Solo)

(They're lookin' at you, leanin' on you
Tell you anything you wanna hear)
They give you tablets of love
(They're waiting for you, got to score you
hit me with a shovel and so sincere)
Ooh, they got to kick love
You just want someone to talk to
They just wanna get their hands on you
You get whatever you choose
Oh no, you can't do that, once you've started
wearin' those shoes

Teenage Jail

Stare out the window,
You can't make the time go
You don't even know why you're here
Wait for the weekend to go off the deep end
and make everything disappear
You're lost in a teenage jail
So you and so vicious and so frail
where something is always for sale
You're lost in a teenage jail.
You're not like your mothers.
you're not like the others
You're not quite like anyone else,
They don't even know you,
Got nothing to show you,
So get something good for yourself
You're lost in a teenage jail
So young and so vicious and so frail
Where something is always for sale.
You're lost in a teenage jail.

The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks

There was beer all over the dance floor
and the band was playin' rhythm and blues
You got down and did the gator, and half
an hour later, you were barfin' all over your
Girlfriend's shoes.
But the Greeks don't want no freaks.
The Greeks don't want no freaks
Just put a little smile on them rosy
cheeks,
'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks.
(GATOR!!)
She was the pride and the passion of Dixie
She did exactly what her daddy had planned.
She was perfect little sister until somebody missed
her and they found her in the bushes with
the boys in the band
But the Greeks don't want no freaks
The Greeks don't want no freaks
So put a great big smile on them rosy cheeks,
'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks
No, the Greeks don't want no freaks
Said, the Greeks don't want no freaks
Just put that monster smile on them rosy cheeks
'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks
No, the Greeks don't want no freaks,
Ahh...

The Sad Cafe

Out in the shiny night, the rain
was softly falling
The tracks that ran down the boulevard had
all been washed away
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
And I remember the times we spent
inside the Sad Cafe
Oh, it seemed like a holy place,
protected by amazing grace
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
We thought we could change this world
with words like "love" and "freedom"
We were part of the lonely crowd
Inside the Sad Cafe
Oh, expecting to fly,
we would meet on that shore in the
sweet by and by
Some of their dreams came true,
some just passed away
And some of the stayed behind
inside the Sad Cafe.
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Now I look at the years gone by,
and wonder at the powers that be.
I don't know why fortune smiles on some
and let's the rest go free
Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
But things in this life change very slowly,
if they ever change at all
There's no use in asking why,
it just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight baby
inside the Sad Cafe.
Why don't you meet me at midnight baby,
inside the Sad Cafe.
