After Here Through Midland
A Little Innocence
Another Story
El Norte
For Experience Sake
It's Only Make Believe
Just Around The Corner
Stumble And Fall
The Biggest Fool Of All
The Promise You Made
Thought You Were On My Side
When Your Heart Is Weak
Win Or Lose
Worlds Apart









AFTER HERE THROUGH MIDLAND

Thought my days here were given up for forgotten
Can't burn cedar, it must come out by the roots
I'm not driving, but I'm taking bets
Six full hours and we ain't crossed it yet
One more stop after here through Midland I know
One more stop after here through Midland I know
Till I come to rest...

Turn back now and I might as well read my fortune
And lose this vengeance long since been overdue
Half-awake there is not much left
Walk my dollar across to Juarez
One more stop after here through Midland I know
One more stop after here through Midland I know
Till I come to rest

I left some worn-out dreams hanging on a wire
The city that's my passage to the west
Is just over the rise

A LITTLE INNOCENCE

My once faultless hero
Afraid of my shadow
I don't know why
I don't know why

The hope of the hopeless
A gun to the temple
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry

A little innocence always seems to go
'long the way
A little innocence always seems to go
'long the way

The best of the brave ones
Cut down in the battle
I've seen too much
I've seen too much
I've heard enough
I've heard enough

A little innocence always seems to go
'long the way
A little innocence

A little innocence always seems to go
'long the way
A little innocence always seems to go
'long the way

'Long the way

ANOTHER STORY

Don't know where I've been
For I thought I'd listened well
All your warnings,
I've had plenty
You sure had me going
Down to the ringing of a bell
Once again you get the best of me
Once again

Chorus:
But how could I know
When I believed that there were angels
Calling my name
As though they're watching over me
Nobody's home
So I go looking out for trouble
And another story that I can believe
Just another story that I can believe

Don't be frightened babe
You're not guilty for my pain
It's just that I had thought you knew me better
For better or for worse
It seems it always ends the same
Some people never ever learn
Some people

(Repeat Chorus)

I believe you baby
Bring me shades and colors of the truth
Or bring to me someone
I can be free to turn to
And another story that I can believe
Just another story that I can believe

EL NORTE

It's a million miles
A giant place
Like a work of art
Amazing, amazing

Fast cars that cannot move
Die for a parking space
Stuck on a carousel
Crazy, it's crazy

When you laugh
Till you cry
When you laugh

Chorus:
All's well here in El Norte
Who'd have thought it could be like this
Big money for a job well done
I swear to you
I got a ride from a coyote
Who sells high on the black market

So your loved one can be home soon
So your loved one can be home soon

Fine women with dress-up clothes
Say and do anything
Wake up to work the day
Tousled and tangled

Rub shoulders with the downtown gang
Where the Virgin lives
Just like a movie star
Hopeful and graceful

When she smiles
Till you laugh
Till you cry

(Repeat Chorus)

Maybe I don't understand it
Maybe I won't try
But nobody seems too satisfied

(Repeat Chorus)

FOR EXPERIENCE SAKE

I'd give it up and start all over if I could
Chasing back the hands of time
Praise my intuition, knock on wood,
You could never change my mind.

Though I stop a lot and wonder
How the tables have been turned
I used to think I loved you
But I still can't really say for sure.
I'm liable to be curious
Till the day I die.

For the best years of life with you
For all our mistakes
For the sweet love I hold on to
For experience sake.

Count my blessings put my heart upon a shelf
Once is more than enough
Who would have thought that I only hurt myself
I can only take so much.

Please don't make me out an angel
'Cause I feel so out of place,
I just haven't got the patience
Like a hundred other hard luck cases
Looking for a handout
Or just one more kiss goodbye.

For the best years of life with you
For all that's at stake
For the reasons I thought I knew
For experience sake

Though I stop a lot and wonder
How the tables have been turned
I used to think I loved you
But I still can't really say for sure.
I'm liable to be curious
Till the day I die.

For the best years of life with you
For all our mistakes
For the sweet love I hold on to
For experience sake.

IT'S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE

People see us everywhere;
They think you really care.
But myself I can't deceive.
I know it's only make believe.

My one and only prayer is that someday you'll care;
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you.
No one will ever know how much I love you so.
My only prayer will be someday you'll care for me.
But it's only make believe.

My hopes, my dreams come true, my life I'd give to you,
My heart, a wedding ring, my all, my everything.
My heart I can't control, you rule my very soul.
My only prayer will be someday you'll care for me,
But, it's only make believe.

My one and only prayer is that someday you'll care,
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you.
No one will ever know how much I love you so.
My prayers, my hope and my schemes, you are my every dream,
But, it's only make believe.

JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain
You can't know about everything
only pleasure and pain.
You wonder why I come here
with head to my hands

Where else can I be cured
and the king of your mansion?
A thorn in your side
and a child to protect
that claims he's free.

Just around the corner
half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
starved for some affection.

Darling
come quickly
come ease my mind
For my prayers have not been answered
in a long time.

I've already made my bed
like it or not
As long as there's no regrets
I'll be here
when the ride stops.

These comforts to me
and these crosses to bare
with which we live.

Just around the corner
half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
starved for some affection.

Baby
I can't drag you into this mess!

I'm the thorn in your side
and the child to protect.
Yes.

Just around the corner
half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
starved for some affection.

Darling
come quickly
come ease worried my mind
For my prayers have not been answered
in a long time.

Some just around the corner, jeh
Some strong enough to hold you
Half a mile to heaven, jeh
Just around the corner ...

STUMBLE AND FALL

My conscience is troubled
My spirit is blessed
I'm off in the wrong direction
Every chance I get.
My love is demanding
Like getting my wish
My only obsession
Could drive me to this.
I really love you
'Cause I really need you
In spite of this world.

In spite of it all
My heart won't hate.
Stumble and fall
And sometimes you break.

My love is eternal,
My temper is quick
Some days are a nightmare
I just cross off my list.
My aim is steady
My sights have been set
I look for perfection
Inside of this wreck.
Everyone's happy
Beautiful and happy
I've seen for myself.

I've seen it all
All I can take,
I stumble and fall
And sometimes you break.

You're my one only wish,
I'll make the pieces fit.

My back's to the wall
No one's safe.
Stumble and fall
And sometimes you break.

THE PROMISE YOU MADE

If I laid down my love
To come to your defense
Would you worry for me
With a pain in your chest?
Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To picked me back up and to push me along?
Tell me

You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made

If I gave you my soul
For a piece of your mind
Would you carry me with you
To the far edge of time?
Could you understand if you found me untrue
Would we become one, or divided in two
Please tell me

You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made

Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To pick me back up and to push me along
Please tell me

You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made

Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made

THE BIGGEST FOLL OF ALL

My excuse is only human
like any animal that breathes
Just to find a scent that's soothing
I give you power over me.
I'm more weak than strong
and not a stranger to a fall

But I won't leave you till I turn to find you gone.
I'm the biggest fool of all
I'm the biggest fool of all.

There's no path of least resistance
it's a fable that you've heard
Any love that lacks conviction
is gonna grovel in the dirt, yes it is.

God this road is long and surrounded by a wall

But I won't leave you till I turn to find you gone.
I'm the biggest fool of all.

Foolish as the prisoner that listens
for the jangling keys
And smart enough to know
that it's crazy I should run
When you've got no claim on me.

So before your panic taunts you
to make relations disappear
You could help to ease my conscience
if just for once by standing here.

I'm more weak than strong and surrounded by a wall

But I won't leave you till I turn to find you
Oh I won't leave you till I turn to find you
I won't leave you till I turn to find you gone.

I'm the biggest fool of all
I'm the biggest fool of all
Oh yes I am.
I'm the biggest fool of all
I'm the biggest fool of all
I'm the biggest fool of all.

THOUGHT YOU WERE ON MY SIDE

Not without reason have I been wrong
Just a few tough demands
On a personal friend I could lean on
Desperate and selfish, I know that I was
We drank all our fill
But I'd swear there was poison in my cup
Of your good intentions what has become?

Chorus:
I thought you were on my side
Must you add the weight?
You said it would he even
When splitting up the stakes
I thought you were on my side
Were we not the rage?
Down the center line, what's yours is yours and mine
Just like always

Hurting for freedom, hell-bent for lust
It's an unlikely thing that I'd be bumping in
To someone I could trust
I'm far from resigning, though I'm faint from exhaust
Just because I'm on edge
Do I have to let somebody come push me off?
Is it the belonging, or something you've lost?

(Repeat Chorus)

WHEN YOUR HEART IS WEAK

What's the matter with the way we look?
Surely it's not the end
I only meant to make my motions clear
You worry too much if it's understood
Should we be seen as friends?
Seems like a real good beginning right here

'Cause when your heart is weak
I'm gonna pick the lock on it
My fingertips won't fail me
No matter what you do
The love you cannot see yet
Is about to witness a dawning
And you can twist and turn
But you won't get loose

Better forget getting rid of me
I don't see how you can
You put me off and I will hunt you down...again
I'm mighty patient when I have to be
You have given me that
Still I look forward to the day you let me in

'Cause when your heart is weak
I'm gonna pick the lock on it
My fingertips won't fail me
No matter what you do
Oh, no matter what you do

I'm gonna prove myself worthy
No more just hanging on
Without a prayer of a chance
I'm gonna come without warning
when your defenses are down and you're in
a desperate need
Oh, I bet you you then, you'll welcome me...

Your ol' companion
Your ol' companion
Remember baby

'Cause when your heart is weak
I'm gonna pick the the lock on it
My fingertips won't fail me
No matter what you do

Yeah
'Cause when your heart is weak
I'm gonna pick the the lock on it
And you can twist and turn
But you won't get, you won't get
you wo't get loose

WIN OR LOSE

I'll always feel the same
Should ever you call my name.
I'm here if you need,
Should you get the notion.

I believed from the start
That you'd never break my heart.
My feelings remain
Better left unspoken.

Find somebody new,
Just something to hold on to,
A door will always be left open.
I'll be looking for you,
I'm counting on you,
I'll be looking for you
Win or lose.

I give you my word
And love that can heal the hurt,
Need I say you've only my devotion.
I'll be looking for you
Win or lose.

Should the road become shaky ground
And your troubles only weigh you down,
You've lost your only friend in town,
It's here you'll find a home...

I'll be looking for you
I'm counting on you
I'll be looking for you
Win or lose.

I'll always feel the same
Should ever you call my name
I'm here if you need
Should you get the notion.

WORLDS APART

No such thing, I'm sure you've mistaken me.
If I'm your man, then give a last embrace.
Wish me well or help me solve this mystery,
I've taken my fill and packed it all into one suitcase.
Any other life,
Any other way.

Don't you worry about me
Or try to change how things are.
You've got to believe
That we're just worlds apart.

Can't talk now, and silence is too much to bear.
No great loss, but everything to gain.
Here's your home, I can lay down anywhere.
As time goes on, it seems like a fair exchange.
Any other life.
Any other way.

Don't you worry about me
It's all gone much too far
You've got to believe
That we're just worlds apart.
