If you're still not convinced - you'll be We'll make sure you feel right - you'll see And you can always You can always step out You can always quit now You can always quit right now CHORUS Welcome to the show There's nothing we won't let you know You're not too dignified to join us And create a new relation to the world Would you sacrifice your freedom We know how to better use it And you can always You can always step out You can always quit now You can always quit right now CHORUS Good intentions Good intentions

I got nobody from today I'll have nobody watching over my grave On a dark December day she went for holidays I walked her to the station and kissed her goodbye Two years later I got a phone call from Berlin She was sitting in a bar drinking soda and gin "I'll be home, I'll be home in a year" "I'll give you my love and take good care" Then her voice was strained and funny Within a second she was forever gone Forever gone CHORUS This is the story of a woman who teared me apart She stole my soul and broke my heart This is the story of a woman who teared me apart She stole my soul and broke my heart Guess you're feeling satisfied about what you've done I was just another boy in a terrible line I shivered all night long, then I wrote you this song I can't hold it back no more Where you drinking a lot Where you thinking a lot When innocence was painted black CHORUS

Guess you know me just by name Woman chaser, king of pain Sweet touch, the air you breathe Normal knowledge, you shall be free You can call me a soul man or even a bad man But the wind cries us so let us dance to the sound Gypsy island, fruit for two Children laughing, your child too You can work as an actress You don't have to practice Natural woman with a natural groove Three one-way tickets, I'll carry the bags I'll buy new clothes and bury my rags CHORUS I feel it in my backbone You would never leave me alone I'm sitting in the front row drinking beer all night long You're dance is like thunder Your voice reminds me of Mr. Stevie Wonder You are all I long for and I adore your style It will keep my going for a while I can't give you no explanation But I'm dying for a closer relation I'll be a father to your son Treat him like my only one Playing soccer, I'll teach him to master I'll sacrifice whatever it takes I'll clean windows while you reach for the stars You gotta, you should, you should reach out for Hollywood CHORUS

Scarlet shaded hearts upon the bluegrass of the hill Remind me of the one I love She christened me with life and the she taught me How it feels to have love that's all above CHORUS With a shout and a cheer I shed a happy tear I want to live until With a shout and a cheer I haven't got a fear I want to live until the day she dies The feeling of her nearness seems to keep me up so high I need not say she makes my day The essence of her beauty goes much deeper than the eye I can't express the loveliness CHORUS

The trouble I expected is finally here Years without breakdowns but always aware Taking my girlfriend on a ride Taking my girlfriend deep down in the blue She's the only one who knows the way out Fire inside my head, I'm nervous and weak Stay in bed the rest of the week Lock the door 'cause I'm not sure Whether you're love can cure my soul Whether you're love can cure my soul CHORUS Been down the road Yes, I've been down the road Now it's coming Wonder when she leaves me, the time must be near Pale dead white, screaming all night Poor little girl with tears in here eyes Waiting for a future where nobody cries Been down the valley where death is the god Made myself crawl in the mud I can't give no guarantee 'cause someone else is controlling me Don't blame yourself Cause you have done all you can CHORUS
