Baby's pullin' up or rolling out on a cloud Take me away take me to the next town Got those soft sideburns bring out the girl in me Teach the highway they got somethin' to see These wheels can fly Rising ever higher Spread wings of steel Wings of wings and rubber From your cock to your walk to your coconut smell Ya fuck like a buck you gimme Heaven and Hell Let's get out on the road with the wind in our hair Put this town behind us leave this pit of despair These wheels can fly Rising ever higher Spread wings of steel Wings of wings and rubber Angel of mine heavenly lover Won't ya come back I could never never never forget Things that ya said And the things that ya did Won't ya come back I could never never never forget Things that ya said And the things that ya did

Ashes 03:33
(Snyder/Savarino) Ashes to ashes and dusk to dust Cry no more tears for part we must Ashes to ashes and dusk to dust Who shall remain once the saw has cut Ashes to ashes and dusk to dust Scatter like seeds in ruddy dust Ashes to ashes and dusk to dust Love comes and it cuts Hearts once a mirror now fracture and fissure An open heart with madness meets Float on the ocean of dreams Burning you in effigy

Nina 02:04
Nina you're gorgeous and I know someday a man is gonna come and take you away Nina you're gorgeous and I know someday Nina you're dear to me and friends disappear over the years when lovers come Nina you're gorgeous and I fear soon all our carefree summer days will be replaced Now that cupid's got his arrow in you So as you wait and I watch you go looking for the one who will last There's no more sharing girlish hopes and dreams And saucers full of sisterly secrets Nina go forth loving on golden wings

Dark Side 03:02
So ya went So ya went to the dark side Well tell me now What did ya find So ya went So ya went to the dark side Well tell me now What did ya find Did you lose yourself Get lost in my light After ya left me With nothin' left to give Well I know I know from here on out I ain't gonna be No filly in no man's stable So ya went So ya went to the dark side Well tell me now What did ya find

It's New Year's Day I step outside and survey my surroundings Not much has changed but for every little thing The wheels of time they start their turning after a brief pause And I guess I'm lookin' at another year of lovin' bad boys and outlaws Who knows the kind of man that could take me straight to heaven He ain't exactly the kind that's known to stick around But when it's good ya know I'd never trade it Or dare to put my two feet back down on the ground The wheels of time they start their turning after a bit of a brief brief pause And I guess I'm lookin' at another year of lovin' bad boys and outlaws Well I guess I'm lookin' at another year of lovin' bad boys and outlaws

In Bobby's Car where you sit next to a star In Bobby's Car get love like you never had it before In Bobby's Car In Bobby's Car you scream cry and shake In Bobby's Car it's a test see how much you can take In Bobby's Car cry ya try to work through the pain Cry your eyes out again In Bobby's Car fools rush in where they should flee In Bobby's Car so much we never say In Bobby's Car songs that stick in your mind In Bobby's Car where the music's nice and loud In Bobby's Car drowning everything out
7.
Through the soft focus lens and the Torii gate in my mind through which I see you softly Spend more than a minute on the thought Revel in the gift that ya gave me In a reverie on hot summer nights Feel my heart pulling at you like a tide Try to halt the questioning Sink into a blissful feeling We don't know why our paths intersected It's all a big mystery But I suspect there's something here to explore You already said that you love me Handsome man I wanna roam far and free with you Lose myself in a wonder It's easy to love a stranger when you're only seein' half the picture Wanna let you know that what you've got is really something very special You've dreamed with me of gardens and place far like California Afraid of saying too much Don't want to frighten you But I can't stop thinkin' about your touch And all the things that you do
