WILD CHILD
(Lawless, Holmes)
I ride, I ride the winds that bring the rain
A creature of love
and I can't be tamed
I want you, cause I'm gonna take your love from
him
And I'll touch your face and hot burning skin
No, he'll never ever
touch you like I do
So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth
I'm a
wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to
touch me
Cause I want what you do
I want you
Tell me, tell me the
lies you're telling himwhen you
Run away cause I wanna know
Cause I, I'm
sure it's killing him to find
That you run to me when he lets you
go
Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire
So come turn me on
and turn the flames up higher
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I
want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you
do
I want you
A naked heat machine, I want your love
When the moons
arise we'll feel just what it does
I'm a wild child, come and love
me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want
what you do
I want you

FISTFUL OF DIAMONDS
(Lawless)
Money makes me crazy, money makes me insane
Diamonds, silver,
gold, and precious steel
I want it all, it's mine to claim
I hold my hands
out, I take it all
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
I live for
the glory and fame
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
The millions are
calling my name
Fortune come here to me, it's power that rules the
game
Seduction of silver and LAWLESS greed
I love it all, I damn the
shame
The root of all evil can hear me call
I want a fistful, fistful
of diamonds
I live for the glory and fame
I want a fistful, fistful of
diamonds
The millions are calling my name
Solitaire, come cast a spell
of magic
The smell of green I stack my dollars high
Intoxicating, my
mind's wreaking havoc
A famous face, I get what you can't buy
I want a
fistful, fistful of diamonds
I live for the glory and fame
I want a
fistful, fistful of diamonds
The millions are calling my name

WIDOWMAKER
(Lawless)
A thousand years I've roamed the plains
And waved the hand of
doom
I've seen the tears that fall
Like rain from the waste and ruin
A
shadow's cast from me to you
A time to claim
All that's mine, my wrath is
blind
The balance is where you hang
I'm the WidowMaker
I'm the Lord
of the Wings
I'm the WidowMaker
The cries of sadness never
heard
Fall deaf upon my ears
The stench of madness, raging wars
I've
seen a million years
The smell of sorrow fills the fields
And lingers in
the sky
The littered ground will swallow down
The souls that fill my
eyes
I'm the WidowMaker
I'm the Lord of the Wings
I'm the
WidowMaker
BLIND IN TEXAS
(Lawless)
An El Paso hellhole, I couldn't get much higher
White lightning
moonshine, tastes like fire
I drank for free till I couldn't see
I fell on
the floor, what I said is
I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot
tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes
I drank
Dallas whiskey and lost my mind
Had high-balls in Houston, three for a
dime
Everything starts to spin, loaded on gin
I fell out the door, what I
said is
I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in
Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes
San Antonio and the West Texas town
El Paso
Corups Christi and Waco, the Yellow Rose is wild
Hey dude,
let's party
Raisin hell in Austin just after sundown
When the hoosegow
police decided to come round- they said
"Boy what's the matter with you,
what you trying to do?"
I looked at the man and I said
(spoken
part)
'I think I'll have another one'
-We aint got no more-
'What do ya
mean you ain't got no more liqour'
-We aint got no more, go home-
'What do
ya mean go home, what am I supposed to
do... get on a horse and ride back to
LA?'
They've got no horse
What do you mean-they got no horse?
there's no HORSE--'the hell you say... suffer!"
I'm
blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, I'm
blind
CRIES IN THE NIGHT
(Lawless)
Oooh, I'm sitting down thinking about losing my mind
Cause I
keep telling myself I'm only one of a kind
My life is broke and my dreams
were shattered
For so very long nothing else mattered
I'm hearing
Cries in the Night, I can't wait another day
No, no, no, tell me no lies, I'm
standing cold in the light
I lose the dream and I go crazy, I'm hearing Cries
in the Night
Yeah, they pull at my hair, and call out my name
They
think I'm cool and got worries with fame
But I'm living to lose and dying to
win
With those people around here my patience wears thin
I'm hearing
Cries in the Night, I can't wait another day
No, no, no, tell me no lies, I'm
standing cold in the light
I lose the dream and I go crazy, I'm hearing Cries
in the Night
Yeah, I'm trying to get away, get away from it all
I
stand and scream, I'm not gonna crawl
The dream never dies
That's wh I
sing the song
Like my maddening world, it turns on and on
I'm hearing
Cries in the Night, I can't wait another day
No, no, no, tell me no lies, I'm
standing cold in the light
I lose the dream and I go crazy, I'm hearing Cries
in the Night
THE LAST COMMAND
(Lawless)
You don't know what's in our hearts
This is our time, we've
made our mark
And you can't understand, we'll fight till we fall
But what
do you want to do? The time is right for you
To stand on your feet and answer
the call
Stand up, for the first time, and shout it, woah-oh
The last
command is heard across the land
Stand up, for the first time, and cry out,
woah-oh
Hear the call we are, the Last Command
A thousand times I had
this dream, the flag was high, I heard a scream
That cut through the still of
the night just like a knife
But that was yesterday, the darkness has gone
away
I stand on the edge, and I pledge my life
Stand up, for the first
time, and shout it, woah-oh
The last command is heard across the
land
Stand up, for the first time, and cry out, woah-oh
Hear the call we
are, the Last Command
The destiny that I control will sever
And break
the bonds and set me free forever!
Stand up, for the first time, and
shout it, woah-oh
The last command is heard across the land
Stand up, for
the first time, and cry out, woah-oh
Hear the call we are, the Last
Command
