DON'T TURN BACK




There are some people in this world
They want to bring us down
And there’s some trouble in this world
That we cannot turn round
Say what you say about it
Or doubt the love we found

But don’t turn back
If you turn back you turn away
Hear me say
If you turn back you turn away

There are so many kinds of fools
And lies they tell about us
They’d like to tell us that we’re through
And swear it never was
Say what you say about me
But don’t you doubt my love

But don’t turn back
If you turn back you turn away
Hear me say
If you turn back you turn away

Say what you say about us
But don’t you doubt our love

But don’t turn back
If you turn back you turn away
Hear me say
If you turn back you turn away

BAD ENOUGH




On the day you changed they just walked by
One crazy thing got caught in your eye
And all your friends say you’re so hard to be with now
With friends like that
You really don’t need friends at all

You can have anything you want
If you want it for a very long time
Bad enough

Your friends they just walk by
They want you to apologize
And all your friends say you’re so hard to be with now
Friends like that
Are friends that you can do without

You can have anything you want
If you want it for a very long time
Bad enough

You can’t take no book of love
No book of poems
No book of rules
No book of the month
No book of the dead
To tell you what to do

In this great big house that you call home
You’re in a crowd but you are all alone
And all your friends say you’re so hard to be with now
Friends like that
Are friends that you can live without

You can have anything you want
If you want it for a very long time
Bad enough
Baby, you got to want it bad enough

TIRED ANGEL



Out of the window and into the sky
She says a prayer
She says goodbye
Watches the city below
Through the tears in her eyes
And the lights seem so far
And the trees
And the cars
And the treacherous feeling she gets
When she thinks with her heart
We lit a fire
I was burned too
Now that I’ve faded away
I’ve got a message for you

Fall down
Fall Down
Come Down
Tired Angel

Out in the air your precarious perch
Girl assumed lost
Soon they will search
But they’ll never find you cause
They never knew who you are
You were soft
You were fine
Never cold
So refined
And no one can ever hold on to you
One at a time
We lit a fire
We were burned too
Now that I’m faded away
I’ve got a message for you

Fall down
Fall Down
Come Down
Tired Angel

Now you’ve stepped out on the blue moonlit wire
Watch your step easy
Wings of desire
Earth is below you but you can’t hear voices at all
And the lights seem so far
And the trees
And the cars
Like no one below you could possible care if you fall
We lit a fire
We were burned through
Now that I’m so far away
I try to hold on to you

Fall down
Fall Down
Come Down
Tired Angel
