Warrant Lyrics

HEAVEN Got a picture of your house And your standing by the door It's black and white and faded And it's looking pretty worn See the factory that I worked Silhouetted in the back The memories are grey but man they're really coming back I don't need to be the king of the world As long as I'm the hero of this little girl Heaven isn't too far away Closer to it every day No matter what your friends might say How I love the way you move And the sparkle in your eyes There's a color deep inside them Like a blue suburban sky When I come home late at night And your in bed asleep I wrap my arms around you So I can feel you breathe I don't need to be a superman As long as you will always be my biggest fan CHORUS Heaven isn't too far away Closer to it every day No matter what you friends might say We'll find a way Now the lights are going out Along the boulevard The memories come rushing back And it makes it pretty hard I've got nowhere left to go And no one really cares I don't know what to do But I'm never giving up on you CHORUS	SOMETIMES SHE CRIES Mercy don't think she's pretty no more Staring at the stars through her back screen door She tries and tries to make it all work out No matter what she does She's left standin in the middle of doubt CHORUS In a lonely night And in the pourin rain You can count on me Sometimes she cries When shes alone at night Sometimes she weeps When she's feeling cold and weak Sometimes the pain It tears her up inside Sometimes she cries Ooh, I wonder why Mercy don't have a love no more Plays with her pillow Stares at the bedroom floor Used to have a million They've come and gone No matter what she does She can't figure out what she's doin' wrong CHORUS Living, loving, give it everything you've got After all the heartache Maybe give love just one more shot, yeah In a lonely night And in the pourin rain The only thing I really wanna know is why Sometimes she cries When she's alone at night Sometimes she weeps When she's feelin cold and weak Sometimes the pain It tears her up inside Sometimes she cries
BLIND FAITH Darling I know you're sleeping But there's something that I've just got to say Wonder if you'll hear me while you're dreaming You make a lifetime out of every day Thanks to you now I know All my dreams can come true Blind faith in you, oh yeah, I got blind faith in you Your eyes keep things well hidden Just a hint of what you're holding inside And the first day that I met you I consider the first day of my life Thanks to you now I know All my dreams can come true CHORUS Blind Faith in you, oh yeah. I've got blind faith in you And I'm not sure that I deserve A women so true, But I love, that you think I do With You and Faith, beside me I'm feelin' stronger every day	I SAW RED Ooh it must be magic How inside your eyes I see my destiny Every time we kiss I feel you breathe your love so deep inside of me And if the moon and stars should fall They'd be easy to replace I'd lift you up to heaven And you would take their place CHORUS Then I saw red When I opened up the door I saw red Heart just spilled on to the floor And I didn't need to see his face I saw yours I saw red then I closed the door I don't think I'm gonna love you anymore Everyday I wake up I thank God that you are still a part of me We've opened up the door to which So many people never find the key And if the sun should ever fail to send its light We would burn a thousand candles And make everything alright CHORUS I've been hurt And I've been blind I'm not sure that I'll be fine I never thought it would end this way And I saw red When I opened up the door CHORUS Ooh it must be magic
STRONGER NOW I held you for a moment in my hands The moment with you slipped away like sand Through my fingers now In front of me a choice I have to make To carry on or simply fade away I lose you either way Iąd like to say that it was easy It was hard to say goodbye I thought that I would die CHORUS Letting go of you Was so hard to do And I thought that it would kill me But I made it through somehow And I'm so much stronger now I gave to you my love and my respect But I could never make you love me back I denied it, so, I grew bitter watching you grow cold My life became your prison Took it's toll I decided Like a bird that's trapped inside a gilded cage It's right to set it free Hurts to watch it fly away CHORUS	SAD THERESA Sad Theresa On your front porch swing The lights are twinkling bright But nobody's home Oh sweet country thing With your dress hiked up to your knees Waiting on a call From faith, hope or charity CHOURS Oh Theresa, can I come over tonight Can I come over, come over Would your mother say its alright Oh Theresa, can I come over tonight Ballerina On your bedroom door Well I know that you've got dreams But I've got my own Maybe someday I'll hit those big city lights But I'll never forget your face On warm summer nights CHORUS I've always wanted to sing And I've always wanted to be Somebody's idol, somebody's daydream Maybe their fantasy CHORUS Oh Theresa can I come over tonight?
LET IT RAIN I can't get up the never to call you But I want to call so bad To find out, who's holding on to The most beautiful thing I ever had Babe I guess I never really took the time To show how much I care CHORUS Let it rain (rain) Let it rain down on me Hide these tears I'm crying So no one can see That I'm still not over you But if you're over me Let it rain (rain) Let it rain down on me We used to lay together like spoons It was the only way I could sleep And this pillow is a poor subsitute For your body next to me I reach to pull you closer And remember you're not there CHORUS The rain is not so bad after all It camouflages eveyr tear that falls It cleanses me of all the blame I've put upon myself I hear your married now Well I hope he treats you well Oh let it rain CHORUS I can't get up the never to call you

MACHINE GUN Well, the first time that I saw you I could not speak a word. My tongue was tied in giant knots and I felt so disturbed. At the feeling rushing through me. The heat inside my veins. The way my nerve ends tingle. Every time you call my name. Got a lust ignited fever, and I can't put out the flame. Next time that I saw you, I felt so at ease. You had a languid disposition. I had an willingness to please. And your candy apple red lips, Full of violets and sex. Had me harder than a coal train. Had my collar wringing wet. Know I'm gonna crash and burn, but I'm not finished yet. CHORUS My heart is pounding like a big bass drum. Excited at the thought I might get me some. Lick it off my fingers, taste it on my tongue Love you little baby like a ma-ma-ma-machine gun You are a symphony of elegance. A masterpiece of grace. An animated work of art, Who's acquired a taste, for the flesh of weaker lovers, who'll lie down on their backs. To be ridden at your leisure, and be taken off like hats. I'm not here for you to walk on, And I'm not your welcome mat. CHORUS The first time that I saw you, I could not speak a word. My tongue was tied in giant knots, And I felt so disturbed. At the feeling rushing through me, The heat inside my veins. The way my nerve ends tingle, Every time you call my name. I've got a lust ignited fever, and I can't put out the flame. CHOURS Ma Ma Ma Ma-ma-ma-machine gun Ma Ma Ma Ma-chine

APRIL 2031 They say the sky used to be blue I don't quite believe it. It's probably always been the color that it is. And there were cotton candy clouds. And birds to fly through it. Just stories we all love to tell our kids. So I'll close my electronic door And keep the cold outside. And hug my aluminium pillow so tight. And pray the radiation doesn't make me sick tonight. No more sky and no more trees. April 2031 No more oxygen to breathe. April 2031 No more hate and no more war. April 2031 Nothing left worth fighting for. April 2031. They say there used to be a wind that wasn't caused by fans I wonder how it would have felt in my hair And the nuclear ring around the moon was caused by man if it was, then it's much too late to care So I'll put my safety goggles on and gaze out at the sun as the artificial atmostphere machines give off a constant hum in a world that's cold and peaceful, april 2031 No more sky and no more trees. April 2031 No more oxygen to breathe. April 2031 No more hate and no more war. April 2031 Nothing left worth fighting for. April 2031. As far back as Veitnam, we should have learned our lesson. But we closed our eyes and sent our sons away. And they told us we were winning as they sold more ammunition. Some were angry, most just looked the other way. And the night's illuminated by the endless glowing sand that swallowed all the oceans and choked off all the land. In a world beyond resuscitation Even by God's hand No more mountains no more sea April 2031 No more you and no more me April 2031 No more music no more songs April 2031 No God left to blame it on April 2031 No more children playing April 2031 No more need for praying April 2030 One

HOLE IN MY WALL Through the hole in my wall, I see into your head a beggers day banquet on a four poster bed It's food for the eyes drink for the soul The hole in my wall I can't let myself go CHOURS I'm spinning 'round and 'round ('round and 'round and 'round) Don't let me down (Ooh I groove) Through the hole in my wall (Love the view) Through the hole in my wall (Velvet Blue) through the hole in my wall (I see you) through the hole in my wall The hole in my wall, lets in the sound Of bodies and sweat, and merry-go-rounds The whole in my wall, is better than sex An x-rated Disneyland, gooving T-Rex CHORUS (2 X's) Through the hole in my wall.

BONFIRE She's tall like the Eiffel Tower Fast, New York to Paris in half an hour She's lean, a real love machine Probably take on the whole football team Strong, as the day is long Think you got her figured out You find out you were wrong Long, as a limousine She'll take your body places that you've never, never seen CHORUS Hi ho away we go Let's build a fire from coast to coast Baby's on top, She's on a roll Gonna burn me down to my soul I'm as high as a circuis wire Getting hot like a bonfire She's free, she's no ones pet Beautiful, intellegent You absolutely must respect The way, she's right as rain There's a part of her You're never gonna change She's unpredictable Soften you with words and then She'll eat you like a cannibal Right, she can go all night Maybe give you what you want Maybe put up a fight CHORUS Repeat Verse 1 CHORUS

ANDY WARHOL WAS RIGHT Twisted Little Daydreams Memories with pain Locking me behind the closet door I will be a good boy Promise I wont run Sit quite in my room Playing with my toy gun Now I'm older but the memories still eat me like disease. Alone in the darkness watching you on my t.v. Why did God make you so famous when he only spit on me. I want to bathe in your light. I want to be on the news. If I take your life its nothing personal. Just a boy and his toy gun dying for attention. I'm sitting on the steps. The sun is sinking low. The world gets very quiet as the street lamps start to glow. I step out and I raise my gun time just seems to slow. For a moment I can see myself trapped in your reflection. I'm angry and I'm lonely and I'm dying for attention. I want to bathe in your light. I want to be on the news. If I take your life its nothing personal. Just a boy and his toy gun dying for attention. Dying for attention. Mama

THE BITTER PILL Sometimes I'm lost - And then I'm found Sometimes I feel - Turned inside out I'm often silent when I'm screaming inside Instead of love - We tend to hate We never quite - Apprecaite How much the other person cares or tries CHORUS Hold me close Don't ever let me go I'm confused Maybe someday I will know why... Sometimes I'm right as rain And when it rains it pours You're such a mystery Why can't I unlock the door All that glitters isn't gold Too much is overkill Love can be beautiful Or a bitter pill And when I'm right - I'm also wrong We give and take - To get along There's so much more to this Than I ever dreamed And when you smile - I have to laugh And when you cry - I'm torn in half So calm and yet so loose at the seams CHORUS OPERA Liebe kahn eine bittere pille sein Eine bittere pille Liebe ist eine bittere pille Liebe kahn eine bittere pille sein [German to English translation Love a bitter pill can be A bitter pill Love is a bitter pill A bitter pill] MAD GERMAN Ich will ein bier Ich will be soffen sein Die ganze welt is dumm Mir steht es so im hals Ich sage dir Die liebe kann nur luge sein [Sketchy German to English translation: I want a beer I want to get drunk The whole world is stupid It's a pain in the neck It's a myth He who loves exists in lies CHORUS Or a bitter pill

HOLLYWOOD (So Far So Good) I live in Hollywood Right beneath the stars I walk around, they drive Incredibly long black cars I think that they could learn A thing or two from me While money is buying your house It's selling your sanity They take love for granted Say it grows on trees The only thing I've ever seen On a tree was leaves I got a girl She keeps my feet on the ground I concentrate on her I don't need to shop around CHORUS So sweet, tastes like honey Right down to her feet Who could ask for more My girl is sweeter than a candy store I go to work I work hard all day She works as hard as me 'Cause we got bills to pay We share a roof We share a bed But unlike the rich we share What's in eachothers' head CHORUS CHORUS I live in Hollywood Right beneath the stars So far it's prett good Pretty good so far So far so good So far so good So far so good So far so good

ALL MY BRIDGES ARE BURNING Jimmy goes through money like a millionaire Bills pile up around him but he doesn't care Picks up his best friend at the local secene Wraps it up in the corner of a magazine CHORUS All Night - God he hates to be lonely Day light - Hasn't seen any sun in 3 days Know why - Every time he comes down You can hear him say Ooh, all my bridges are burning Watch them go down in flames Can't even remember my name All my bridges are burning, oh yeah Jimmy treats every night like a holiday Makes a friend or two, but they never stay Taking care of number one Is his point of view And if you keep him high He'll be friends with you CHORUS Wipe that sweat from your lip Take a look around you get hip Looking in from outside You're slowly watching yourself let you die Ooh, all my bridges are burning Watch them go down in flames I can't even remember my name All my bridges are burning (All my bridges are burning) I watch them go down in flames I can't even remember my name All my bridges are burning, oh yeah

QUICKSAND Gonna write a letter to my baby And this is what I'm gonna say Second thought I think I'll take the time To say it to her face I can't eat, I can't sleep I feel I'm going down for the last time I'm sinking in your sea Of insecurity CHORUS And do I love you - yes I do But I love my own life too As I lay here, holding your hand I can't help but fell you don't understand The tighter you hold on The more that it's feeling Like quicksand Our fate is written in the stars It's written on your face You're holding too tight to my heart It's gonna burst and leave an empty space CHOURS CHOURS

SONG AND DANCE MAN Last night I felt a wind of change blow through me. It spoke of a million things before I die I should see. Open up your eyes. Life is poetry in motion. Ride the open sky I'll be ok as soon as I'm on my way I am a song and dance man Yes, I am a song and dance man Woman. Oh, woman, sometimes I hear your voice. It calls out to me, makes my heart bleed. Haven't got any chance. Open my eyes. Life is poetry in motion Ride the open sky. I'll be ok as soon as I'm on my way. I am a song and dance man Oh yes I am, a song and dance man I am a song and dance man Tokyo has rolling thunder beautiful women and warm summer rain Honolulu has stars of fire words alone cannot explain Open up your eyes Spread your wings and fly Oh Lord I am a song and dance man Oh Lord I am a song and dance man That's what I am A song and dance man

INSIDE OUT Get a break and I understand You can only be with another man In the sack, hop on the back Honey, to me it's all out of track CHORUS You've been gone, baby Who's spinning around and around and around Should've been gone, scream and shout Hold me baby, turn me inside out Sculptures who would act so fly Don't you know you're driving me insane You can have more than you'll ever need Why I gotta live with your 2 o'clock lies CHORUS Take it, take it, take it, take it Hold it, hold it, hold it Now I'm naked and I understand You can only fuck another man In the sack, hop on the back Honey you and me is out of track CHORUS

UNDERTOW You speak from both sides of your mouth I tried to work it out You hated me all along I tried to get along You talk to much for me It's verbal therapy I don't need words to fight with you Just my left and civil right with you BRIDGE Make up your mind Stop wasting my time CHORUS Then the storm broke And the rain fell Then the flood came Made the river swell Then the damn broke I just let it go I was pulled down By the undertow

FOLLOWED There was sunshine and now there's only rain And blue skies you turned them into pain Words were so fine I wanted everyone to know What other people hold back I loved the way you showed I never noticed blood on you before But everytime you pull another in I see a little more You control things You tell them you're a friend But if they ever try to get away You crush them in your hands CHORUS Now I see with my own eyes And not through someone else's lies Yes, I followed But with a knife I call the truth I sever ties and cut me loose I won't follow

FAMILY PICNIC Mother should know Father should go Battered dreams and broken bones Living hell when he's at home Feel so much pain I'm not to blame Cannot move cannot breathe He should die instead of me Some break away Some choose to stay But every scream kept inside Leaves a scare either way CHORUS We are on our own We all die alone Black eyed broken truth I'm still bleeding from a Wasted Youth Welcome, to my family picnic

SUM OF ONE When the sun came up today I asked him please to go away Something died in me last night I feel hollow on my inside We talked until the words Were yells You'll never understand me I can tell Oh, God I feel like hell Thow another penny in the Wishing well Rain, Rain go away I don't care much for The color grey If I stay too long, hopefully I'll get washed out too the sea And drown in my misery See your face looking down at me And if I asked you for help You'd hand me a glass of water CHORUS Give me some, Give me one Who understands my meaning Give me some give me one Who won't laugh while I'm bleeding Give me sum give me one Give me love

CHAMELEON You always change your colors when you find yourself in a fix And when you get yourself in trouble You just pack your bags and split And your off to find a new love Who doesn't know you Like some do Put on a smile like it's make up Protection from the truth If they don't have what you need You won't need them right back And if they gave you the world You'd find something wrong with that CHORUS You better find out which road Your on You can't change who you are By the colors you put on You better find somebody To lean on Make up your mind Chameleon
