Hole In My Heart (All The Way To China)

I've got a ticket, no turning back

My destination

The sea of trouble, the land of pain

You're sending me where it always rains

Oh, reconsider, I'm begging you

Some hesitation, I'm holding on to my sanity

I feel the beginning of emergency

My hands are slipping, oh, please don't let me fall into

This hole in my heart that goes all the way to China

You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of

This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China

And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down

I'm on a planet without a plan

It's, oh, so lonely

I need to see you to get out of here

There's something deadly in this atmosphere

I'm in a desert without a drink of your sweet water

You're my oasis in the burning sand

I'm out of danger when you touch my hand

Throw me a lifeline, I'm standing on the edge of

This deep, dark hole that goes all the way to China

You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of

This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China

And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down

The gun was loaded, I didn't know, I pulled the trigger

I heard a noise then the room went dark

I felt the bullet going in my heart

I feel so dizzy, oh, please don't let me fall, don't leave me in

This hole in my heart that goes all the way to China

You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of

This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China

And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down

I've got a hole in my heart

You've got to fill it up with love

Sally's Pigeons

When I was eight I had a friend

With a pirate smile

Make believe and play pretend

We were innocent and wild

Hopped a fence and slammed the gate

Running down my alleyway

In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly

We loved to watch them dive and soar 

Circle in the sky

Free as a bird from three to four

And never knowing why

Neighbors pulled their wash back in

Put away my Barbie and Ken

Look out overhead

While Sally's pigeons fly

I had a fool's confidence

That the world had no boundaries

But instincts and common sense

Come in different quantities

My heart began to

Skip to the beat

Of the boy next door

She had her eye across the street

On someone shy and tall

We lived our dreams

And challenged fate

In tears she told me she was late

And Sally let his pigeons out to fly...

On the dresser sits a frame 

With a photograph

Two little girls in ponytails

Some twenty one years back

She left one night with just a nod

Was lost from some back alley job

I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly

She never saw those birds again

And me, I can't remember when 

A pirate smile hasn't made me cry

I close my eyes

And Sally's pigeons fly...

Who Let In The Rain

Things like this

Can always take a little time

I always thought

We'd be together down the line

We start to fight

And can't get over what was said

'Cause you see black and white

And I see red

And I wonder who let in the rain

You know without you

I'm not the same

When love gets strong

People get weak

Sometimes they lose control

And wind up in too deep

They fall like rain

Who let in the rain

I make the bed and cover

Where you used to sleep

I'm smoothing over promises

Made in these sheets

I envy lovers passing by

Out on the street

'Cause what they have

I couldn't keep

And I wonder who let in the rain

You know without you

I'm not the same

When love gets strong

People gets weak

Sometimes they lose control

And wind up in too deep

They fall like rain

Who let in the rain...

I Drove All Night

I had to escape

The city was sticky and cruel

Maybe I should have called you first

But I was dying to get to you

I was dreaming while I drove

The long straight road ahead, uh, huh

Could taste your sweet kisses

Your arms open wide

This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

Crept in your room

Woke you from your sleep

To make love to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

What in this world

Keep us from tearing apart

No matter where I go I hear

The beating of your heart

I think about you

When the night is cold and dark

No one can move me

The way that you do

Nothing erases the feeling between me and you

I drove all night to get to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

Crept in your room

Woke you from your sleep

To make love to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

Could taste your sweet kisses

Your arms open wide

This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

Crept in your room

Woke you from your sleep

To make love to you

I drove all night... to hold you tight

What's Going On

Mother, mother

There's too many of you crying

Brother, brother, brother

There's far too many of you dying

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some lovin' here today

Father, father

We don't need to escalate

War is not the answer

For only love can conquer hate

You know you've got to find a way

To bring some understanding yeah today

Aw, picket lines, picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

Talk to me so you can see

Oh what's going on,

Tell me what's going on

Mother, mother

Ev'ry body thinks we're wrong

Baby who are they to judge us

'Cause our hair is long

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some understanding here today

Good God

Change Of Heart

Here I am

Just like I said I would be

I'm your friend

Just like you think it should be

Did you think I would stand here and lie

As our moment was passing us by

Oh I am here

Waiting for your change of heart

It just takes a beat

To turn it around

Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart

At the edge of my seat

Please turn it around

Days go by

Leaving me with a hunger

I could fly

Back to when we were younger

When adventures like cars we would ride

And the years lied ahead still untried

While I stand here

Waiting for your change of heart...

Blind leading blind

Never feel the laughter

Search through time

Nothing reveals the answer

If it's truth that you're looking to find

It is nowhere outside of your mind

I bide my time

Waiting for your change of heart...

She Bop

We-hell-I see them every night in tight blue jeans--

In the pages of a blue boy magazine

Hey I've been thinking of a new sensation

I'm picking up--good vibration--

Oop--she bop--

Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar

Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more

Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine

They say I better stop--or I'll go blind

Oop--she bop--she bop

She bop--he bop--a--we bop

I bop--you bop--a--they bop

Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,

I hope He will understand

She bop--he bop--a--we bop

I bop--you bop--a--they bop

Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,

Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop

(whistle along here)...

Hey, hey--they say I better get a chaperone

Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone

No, I won't worry, and I won't fret--

Ain't no law against it yet--

Oop--she bop--she bop--

She bop--he bop--we bop...

Time After Time

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,

And think of you

Caught up in circles confusion

Is nothing new

Flashback warm nights

Almost left behind

Suitcases of memories,

Time after 

Sometimes you picture me 

I'm walking too far ahead

You're calling to me, I can't hear

What you've said 

Then you say  go slow 

I fall behind 

The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting 

Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting 

Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has 

Turned to gray

Watching through windows you're wondering

If I'm OK

Secrets stolen from deep inside

The drum beats out of time 

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting 

Time after time

You said go slow 

I fall behind

The second hand unwinds 

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting 

Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting 

Time after time

Time after time

Time after time

Time after time

Money Changes Everything

She said I'm sorry baby I'm leaving you tonight

I found someone new he's waitin' in the car outside

Ah honey how could you do it

We swore each other everlasting love

She said well yeah I know but when 

We did--there was one thing we weren't

Really thinking of and that's money--

Money changes everything 

Money, money changes everything

We think we know what we're doin'

That don't mean a thing

It's all in the past now

Money changes everything

They shake your hand and they smile

And they buy you a drink

They say we'll be your friends

We'll stick with you till the end

Ah but everybody's only 

Looking out for themselves 

And you say well who can you trust

I'll tell you it's just

Nobody else's money--

Money changes everything

Money changes everything

We think we know what we're doin'

We don't pull the strings

It's all in the past now

Money changes everything

Money changes everything

Money changes everything

We think we know what we're doing

We don't know a thing 

It's all in the past now

Money changes everything

Money changes everything

Money changes everything

Girls Just Want To Have Fun

I come home in the morning light

My mother says when you gonna live your life right

Oh mama dear we're not the fortunate ones

All Through The Night

All through the night

I'll be awake and I'll be with you

All through the night 

This precious time when time is new

Oh, all through the night today

Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past we won't reach back

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends there is no end

All through the night 

stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back

All through the night

They have forgotten what by day they lack

Oh under those white street lamps 

There is a little chance they may see

We have no past we won't reach back

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends there is no end

Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough

Let me be there let me stay there awhile

We have no past we won't reach back

Keep with me forward all through the night

And once we start the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night

Until it ends there is no end

Keep with me forward all through the night 

And once we start the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night 

Until it ends there is no end

True Colors

You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged

Oh, I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

And the darkness inside you

Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors 

Are beautiful like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,

Don't be unhappy

Can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

Your true colors

Are beautiful like a rainbow

(Can't remember when I last saw you laughing)

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors

True colors are shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors

Are beautiful like a rainbow
