The Devils comin for me now |There's nowhere I can run|And if I'm gonna stand my ground|I better get my gun||He says that I should just give in|Sometimes it's hard to fight |Cause in this hell in living in|It's hard to find the light ||But I can hear the angels |I can hear their song|Echo in the darkness|Be gone, be gone ||I feel like there's a hope in hell|That I will find a way |I have got a bullet for|One demon left to slay|The hunted is the hunter now|And devil you're the prey|I won't let you drag me down|I'll see the light of day ||But I can hear the angels |I can hear their song|Echo in the darkness|Be gone, be gone |||I can hear the angels |I can hear their song|Echo in the darkness|Be gone, be gone, be gone||
- Forever Blue
I have been warned by the wind and I shall not go
Clouds on the horizon where the wind blows
I see the sun in the west light up the sky
That is where me and my horse will ride
Far away from the storm, lightning, and rain
Though the thunder may roar soon it will fade
We'll find a clear where only light will shine
- I Want You
There will be angels,|There will be devils,|I will be in-between|But I cross that line some of the time|And lately I've been mean|A little bit of sugar|A little bit of spice,|Whatever you desire,|If it's gonna burn, honey you will you learn|I'm not afraid to play with fire|I want you to want me|I want you to want me|I want you to want me|I want you to want me|There will be light|There will be darkness|I will be in the shade|Creepin in the corner|Nothin but a former|Shadow of the girl you played||I'm hangin up in my halo|Getting out my pitchfork|You ain't seen nothing yet|Well I can be bad|I can drive you mad|Be the girl that you won't forget||I want you to want me|I want you to want me|I want you to want me|I want you to want me||Sweet and softy I will sing to you|Lullabies just like the angels do|Sweet and softly I will sing to you|But I can be the devil if you ask me to||I want you to want me|I want you to want me|I want you to want me|I want you to want me|

Years and years of confine|The tenses and the gates|This as been our whole life |Resigning to our fate|When one day came a fury|A wild and wicked wind|That blew the gates wide open|To give us hope again||Liberty|Through the desert riding free|Like an unchained melody|Riding towards the sun||From Phoenix Arizona |To ole New Mexico |Feeling all the freedom |To go where we wanna go|We could cross he ocean|Travel cross the plains |We possess the power |Cause we control the reins ||Liberty|Through the desert riding free|Like an unchained melody|Riding towards the sun|Liberty |Writing our own destiny|We'll go down in history |Riding towards the sun||Liberty|Through the desert riding free|Like an unchained melody|Riding towards the sun|Liberty |Writing our own destiny|We'll go down in history |Riding towards the sun|Riding towards the sun |Riding towards the sun|Riding towards the sun ||
- Lovers in Love
Some lovers meet out in the street
They make out, move in, and move on
Then there's ones like us
Who can't get enough
With you is where I belong
Some folks will follow
Whoever they feel
- Nothing is Impossible
When I'm alone in the dead of night |I see the shadows move |Something is stirring just out of sight|I wonder if it's you|Yeah they say it's impossible |No matter how hard I pray |That won't stop me from calling you|And hoping you'll answer one day ||I'll play the records you love my dear|And put on that white linen dress|I'll make it just like when you were here|Before I laid you to rest |Yeah they say it's impossible |But they just can't comprehend |Somehow I will get through to you|And bring you back again ||I say nothing's impossible |Why wouldn't I do what I can |I'd let the devil just take my soul |If he'd give me back my man||I'd let the devil just take my soul |If he'd give me back my mine ||When I'm alone in the dead of night |I see the shadows move |||
- Pablo
He has hair down to his shoulders and a white cowboy hat|He worse a dusty poncho with a guitar on his back|He sang all the sweetest songs that I have ever known|His name was Pablo||As he strummed his guitar how his fingers they would dance|He sang like an angel and it put me in a trance |The seed of love within my heart, each day it would grow|For my darling Pablo||Pablo|Amado mio|Erres mi fuego |Erres mi corazon|Canta, canta mi Pablo|Con tu guitarra |Canta a mi corazon |Pablo ||Road in on a dark horse with a broken tortured soul|His poetry spoke to me, his words they would console |All the pain within my heart but I am not alone |Now that I've got Pablo ||Pablo|Amado mio|Erres mi fuego |Erres mi corazon|Canta, canta mi Pablo|Con tu guitarra |Canta a mi corazon |Pablo ||Pablo|Amado mio|Erres mi fuego |Erres mi corazon|Canta, canta mi Pablo|Con tu guitarra |Canta a mi corazon |Pablo ||
- Something For You
I don't need you to love me|I need you to hear me out|All these words that were trapped in my heart|Are finally free from my mouth||I don't need you to love me|I need you to know how I feel|'Cause I don't want to live in regret|Of what I didn't reveal||I just can't hold it inside|Lord knows how hard I've tried|I need to confess, to profess |All these things that I'm feeling|And darling, I'm feeling|Something for you||I don't need you to love me|I just needed you to know|That all of this time |Well, I wished you were mine |But I never let it show||I don't need you to love me|I need you to understand|That I tried to control my heart|But it slipped through my hands||I just can't hold it inside|Lord knows how hard I've tried|I need to confess, to profess |All these things that I'm feeling|And darling, I'm feeling||What if it turns you away|And all that I'm left with are yesterdays|I know I need to be brave|'Cause I know there's something I've got to say|I don't need you||I don't need you to love me|But just in case you do|Just know how much I would love it|If you loved me, too|

- The Comeback Kid
Six feet down you left me in the ground for dead
Only shot three rounds but one found a way to my head
Well no one could survive with all of the blood that I bled
But I'm still alive so I guess I'll try living instead
You took my life and wrecked it
But I've been resurrected
Oh the comeback kid
- The Day You Die
You said you'd love me till the cows come home
Well I'm hoping that they all go blind
Get lost out on some dirt back road
And just hang around for someone else to find
You said you'd love me till the end of time
So I'm staring at that clock on the wall
Every day I give that thing a wind
- This Is Not Surreal
A revolutionary for the one you love|He was the frog and you were the dove|With your broken body and your broken heart|One must always suffer for the sake of their art||'This is not surreal,' you said|'This is my reality and it's left me for dead'|'This is not surreal,' you said|'This is my reality, till my very last breath'||Swimming in the sorrow that you tried to drown|A traitor in your own mind and you can't get him out|Haunting every portrait of your saddest face|Your muse is a painting that cannot be erased||'This is not surreal,' you said|'This is my reality and it's left me for dead'|'This is not surreal,' you said|'This is my reality, till my very last breath'||'This is not surreal,' you said|'This is my reality and it's left me for dead'|'This is not surreal,' you said|'This is my reality, till my very last breath'|
- Til My Dyin' Day
I was weeping underneath the willow tree|I remember that's where we use to play |But the Angels have taken you away from me|I'll be crying until my dyin day ||Now it's rainin even when the sun is out |And a rainbow is coloring what's gray|But it won't stop all these tears from fallin down|I'll be cryin until my dyin day||Never again will I hear your gentle laughter|Never again will I see your soft brown eyes|I'll never understand why you could not stay|I'll be cryin until my dyin day ||There's a dark cloud hovering above my head|There are flowers growing where you lay |They'll be watered by these endless tears of mine|I'll be cryin until my dyin day ||

If you need space, take a trip|Hijack you a ride on a rocket ship|Hang out with some constellations|Get yourself some isolation, babe||If you need time, here's a clock|You can sit alone at night and listen to it tic and toc|If it stops, wind it up|I'll be somewhere giving up on you||All my love is wasted on nothing but a heartache in my chest|You know how much I hate it, baby you're the one who does it best||Love shouldn't be so hard|Love shouldn't be so hard |Hard as this||If you need to think, go read a book|Read about some thief stealing hearts like a crook|See yourself within the plot|Realize you've got a lot to lose||All my love is wasted on nothing but a heartache in my chest|You know how much I hate it, baby you're the one who does it best||Love shouldn't be so hard|Love shouldn't be so hard |Love shouldn't be so hard|Hard as this||All my love is wasted on nothing but a heartache in my chest|You know how much I hate it, baby you're the one who does it best|I could have been the one for you, but lately I don't know what we got left||Oh, love shouldn't be so hard |Love shouldn't be so hard|Hard as this||||||||Gypsy Child (L.
