Rat Race

Like the movers
and the shakers
I can feel the
pressure burn
Like you I'm caught up
in the race
I'm addicted
to the rush
Under stress
a prisoner
And I don't even
know my name
Sometimes I feel
like I've been
Wasting
precious time
Life passes by
when you're
Slaving
to the grind
What really
matters when I
Cross the
finish line
Am I wasting
my life

When I'm reaching for
the answers I can
Never
trust my lust
I'm only reaping
what I sow
If I'm a lover
of the money
I will never
have enough
Can't take it with you
when you go
Right now I
fell like I've been
Wasting
precious time
Life passes by
when you're
Slaving
to the grind
What really
matters when I
Cross the
finish line
I know I'm
wasting my life
Caught up in
a rat race
Playing in the
devil's game
Living in the
fast lane
And I'm
burning the flame
Caught up in
a rat race
Playing in the
devil's game
Living in the
fast lane
And I'm feeling
the strain
On my life my life
on my life
I can't take it
any longer
I can not take
much more oh no
I won't waste it
any longer
My life is
mine no more

I'm caught up
in a rat race
Playing in the
devil's game
Living in the
fast lane
And I'm
burning the flame
Caught up
in a rat race
Playing in the
devil's game
Living in the
fast lane
And I'm
feeling the strain
Caught up
in a rat race
Playing in the
devil's game
Living in the
fast lane
And I'm
burning the flame
Caught up
in a rat race
Playing in the
devil's game
Living in the
fast lane
And it's
time for a change
In my life my life
in my life
Rat rat
rat race
Caught up
in a rat race

Since You've Been Go..

Yeah- I get
the same old dreams
Same time every night
fall to the ground
Then I wake up
so I get out of bed
Put on my shoes
and in my head
Thoughts slide back
to the break up
These four walls
are closing in
Look at the fix
you put me in
Since you've
been gone
Since you've
been gone
I'm out of my head
can't take it
Do not
be wrong
But since
you've been gone
You cast a spell
so break it
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
Since you've
been gone
So in the night
I stay
Beneath the
back street lights
I read the words
that you sent to me
I can take
the afternoon
But night comes
around too soon
You don't know
what you mean to me
Your poison letters
your telegram
Just goes to show you
don't give a damn
Since you've
been gone
Since you've
been gone
I'm out of my head
can't take it
Do not
be wrong
But since
you've been gone
You cast a spell
so break it
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
Since you've
been gone

If you ever
come back
Baby you know
you'll never do wrong-
Since you've
been gone
Since you've
been gone
I'm out of my head
can't take it
Do not
be wrong
But since
you've been gone
You cast a spell
so break it
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
oh-
Ever since
you've been gone

Since you've
been gone
Since you've
been gone
I'm out of my head
can't take it
Since you've
been gone
Since you've
been gone
I'm out of my head
can't take it
Since you've
been gone
Since you've
been gone
I'm out of my head
can't take it
Since you've
been gone
Since you've
been gone
I'm out of my head
can't take it

Stand In Line

Yeah yeah
woo ha ha ha ha
Woo woo woo
standing
Like a statue
waiting for the train
In front of
the cigarette vendor
Slicking back his hair
looking at the machine
Reflecting
like a mirror
Pulling up his collar
to avoid the breeze
Of the oncoming
bullet
Taking inventory
of the things he needs
He's checking out
his wallet
Standing before
our eyes
Straight and
tall
Here comes your hero
stand in line
Straight as an arrow
stand in line

The mother's son
as perfect
As his pompadour
spanish american lover
Heading from the east
into west L A
He has to dance
la bamba
So sophisticated
is the french cologne
He borrowed
from his father
Just another pistol
waiting for someone
To come and pull
the trigger
So let his bullet fly
through the air
He'll take you home
stand in line
If you deserve him
stand in line
Here comes your hero
stand in line
Straight as an arrow
stand in line

Here comes your hero
stand in line
Straight as an arrow
stand in line
That perfect stranger
stand in line
If you deserve him
stand in line
Here comes your hero
stand in line
Straight as an arrow
stand in line
