'm ready to receive

It's in my blood
It's in my blood
You know I should
Cuz it's in my blood
In my blood

Tie me to the anchor
Paralyzed with fear
You thought this was the last time
You thought I could not hear
It only keeps me stronger
Now you can call it fate
Where many men have fallen
Preoccupied with hate

Shield me from temptation
Barricade the door
Here comes my guardian angel
I could not ask for more

LOST IN THE ZONE

(Hughes/Marsh/Kollman)

You wanna be somebody
But you don't see the writing on the wall
You don't need nobody
I can see you're gonna take a fall
I heard you saying
You could feel a new vibration going down
Love is fading
And I hope you're gonna come around

You got nothing to fear
You got so much to burn
Isolate on the hillside
When will you ever learn
See the fire in me
Is the evil in you
Now you've had all your chances
Gonna break you in two

When you're out on your own
And you feel like a rolling stone
And you're all alone
Then you know you're lost in the zone

Bad thing
You're the proudest child I've ever seen
You bring a whole new style
Do you know what I mean
I do worry about the people
Who do make you weak
You gotta hurry
And you better think twice
Before you speak


GASOLINE
(Hughes/Marsh)

You're the black sheep of the family
And what you do is killing me
And I don't wanna hang with you
Now I want you to see

You know you're living with a one-track mind
I'm warning you I'm not that kind
You're just a memory
Now I'm leaving you behind

Tell me, tell another lie to me
Tell me I will set you free
Won't you let me be
Cuz you burn me with your gasoline

I've been trying to turn my back
You know you give me a heart attack
I don't need no microphone
So why don't you hear me?

You know you never were my friend
This is a letter I got to send
I don't want you to follow me
But here you come again


HIGHER PLACES
(Song For Bonzo)
(Hughes/Kollman)

I can see the future, it's been calling me
I'm gonna live my life, it's how it's gonna be
Some people never listen,
Some people gotta burn
They never hear a single thing,
And they will never learn

Mama's little baby, was going out to sea
You know he couldn't sail, so he slipped into a dream
I can see you ridin' on the crest of the storm
So come inside with me, cuz I will keep you warm

Higher places, distant faces
Can't you see they want to live again
Higher places, soul traces
Can't you see they want to live again

I can feel the sun shine,
And I want you to know
So many times I was alone, and there was no hope
So wash your hands in the water
Until you find your way
I keep on telling you
So maybe you won't stray
It's no use getting jaded,
The living wheel goes round
I was once frustrated,
And I finally hit the ground
I'll be glad to meet you, I won't let you fall
Cuz I was always there for you, I hope you do recall

And I want you to see, just how it's gonna be
Now don't, don't you agree, cuz it's supposed to be


GET YOU STONED
(Hughes/Kollman)

You live ten miles down a dusty road
You gotta pull back, gonna overload
I make you sing like a mocking bird
You better hurry better hear my word

You are a wide receiver
And you're magnificent
A disbeliever, won't you let me vent

I gotta notion you will stay for a while
I gotta potion gonna make you smile

I can get you stoned
You're in a roadside shack
And you listen to the grammophone
I can get you stoned
In your fantasy, you never have to be alone

You go to work on the graveyard shift
I got the right thing to give you a lift
I see that you're ready and able
You put your cards right out on the table

I come a knockin', won't you let me in
Soul sister I want to begin
I'm gonna take responsibility
Before they take me to the highest tree

And it hurts so bad, you made the right choice
And you're only a groove away
And when the morning comes
I will be long gone, I'm gonna make you feel
I'm glad you make you feel that way


WRITTEN ALL OVER YOUR FACE
(Hughes/Marsh)

Seems you've been gone too long
Something is going on
When you walked out the door
It was written all over your face

You know I couldn't see
It's gone from my memory
There's no use in telling me
It was written all over your face

I don't feel like holding on
Something inside is gone
You're not that good for me
And it was written all over your face

Strange dreams are haunting me
You treat me like a refugee
That ain't the way that it should be
And it was written all over your face

And I don't want to think about tomorrow
And I don't want to live in yesterday
Now there's something wrong, what's going on
I believe in faith and it keeps me strong
I won't be turning my head no more
It is written, it is written

So many years ago
Now I've gotta let you go
Same as it's always been
And it's written all over your face

Thanks for the charity
Thanks cuz you lied to me
Thanks for the jealousy
It was written all over your face

Oh I, I'm gonna break that old tradition
You'd better find humility
But you are too blind to see
Oh I, you know I found a new condition
Cuz I want my life to be
To bring love and harmony
Now it's time to set you free
Right now

STANDING ON THE ROCK
(Hughes/Kollman)

Well I'm going down to Ohio
'scuse me but I got to go
I'm on my bus
I'm driving break neck speed

And I need a little company
And you could call it therapy
I'm burnin' with a passion to succeed

Get 'outta my way and step aside
And roll away the years that died
I ain't no living wreck
So let me ride

So let's go find tranquility
Surround myself with liberty
And open up the gates
Of this disease that kills me
Shackle me down limb by limb
And tie the rope round me again
And I will set you free

Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock

So magnetic so unreal
You changed my life
You made me feel
There'll be no intermission here tonight

Get outta my way and step aside
And roll away the years that died
I ain't no living wreck
So let me ride


COURAGEOUS
(Hughes)

I see you have a mystical connection
I hear your voice, it's haunting me
You know the body is weak, where do I belong
You never left a '68 daydream
I hear they made your movie in June
Now all the kids goin' downtown
Are singing your song

There comes a time to learn and digest it
I sacrifice all my patience
To be like you

I can see that you're justified
And I get your point of view

You're courageous
You are strong
You're courageous
All along
Turn the pages
Brand new dawn
You're courageous
Your time has come

You do believe in lovin' your brother
I can see you found a new way
All you want is to keep it a simple thing
You always had habitual attention
It's all because you live day to day
And you receive the colours that love will bring


CHANGE (Japan Bonus Track)
(Hughes/Marsh)

I have walked down the highest trail
I turned my back and I did prevail
My sanity
I could see from the garden
Maybe once you should take my advice
This is your only sacrifice
The pain is rough
But soon it will be over

You don't ever have to live that way again
Take your hands out from the fire
Can you hear me cuz I know it's gonna end

Change
All you have to do is change
I know that you wanna change
I won't let you down
Cuz I can see what you're going through
Change
Comes a time for you to change
It's not too late for you to change
I won't let you down
Cuz I can see what you're going through

Same old day-to-day routine
You're losing direction
And you might have been
Unfulfilled
So confused and downhearted

I've been there what can I do?
I sympathize I would die for you
So don't give in
Cuz soon it will be over


SECRET LIFE (Euro Bonus Track)
(Hughes/Marsh)

I don't care about money
I don't care about fame
You take your life so serious
But I won't play that game
Put me where you want me
So you can turn the screw
I'm not your dog to kick around
Now what's come over you

Oh yeah

You're so excited
You can't hide it
You're just a freak
How do you sleep?

All you need
Is a secret life to live for
A secret life to live for

All you breathe
Is a secret life to live for
A secret life to live for

Sunday morning
You did not make your bed
Someone saw your uptown
Your eyes were burnin' red
Put it where you want
How can you be so cruel
You know I used to be that way
When I was just a fool


THE TRUTH
(Hughes)

Somethin' tells me
I've been livin' with the wrong plan
I'm frustrated, desecrated, feelin' less than
Hard to break, the road I take will be a winding one
Across the river, someday I will see a new sun

There can't be any doubt
You make me scream and shout

I'm looking for the truth
I want you to know
I'm looking for the truth
I gotta let go
I'm looking for the truth
I'm on my knees
And I can't go back
I'm looking for the truth

Wishful thinking
I'm done sinking
It's behind me
Escalated, rejuvenated to eternity
Somehow lately I've been mistaken for the wrong man
The silver lining keeps on shining I feel better than

There can't be any doubt
You make me scream and shout

I'm lookin' for sweet satisfaction
There can be no delay
And I want you to be there right away
Be there right away


WHEREVER YOU GO
(Hughes/Marsh)

Wherever you go
Just like a star in the night
You got to keep shining
Wherever you go

Sun
Fall from the sky
Lay down your body and soul you have got to keep shining
Wherever you go

You live in your fantasy
And you'll never die
I know that you long to be
Again satisfied

Rain
Rises the sea
Carry the weight on your shoulder, you gotta keep flying
Wherever you go

Kill
Me with your sigh
Somewhere the race has been won, you just gotta keep flying
Wherever you go

You live in your fantasy
And you'll never die
I know that you long to be
Again justified
A bitter reality
When it comes to an end
You're facing a tragedy
Same old story again

Sail
On through the night
Hope you will try to imagine, that you'll keep on shining
Wherever you go
