Kingdom of desire

Downtown Jimmy

Say you're feelin' kinda blue

It's no problem

This is whatcha gotta do

Telephone your baby

Tell her that you're workin' late

Come and pay a visit

Please don't hesitate



Come join the party

Come along and be our guest

Sit back and let us do the rest

We're the best, yeah



Come on an' meet me at the station

Don't pack your bags

Just fix your hair

Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta get out

Just look for me

I'm always there



Come on let's ride

Ride that gypsy train

All aboard

Now don't you be afraid

Come on let's ride

Ride that gypsy train

Feed the fire

Let's go one mo' time again



Medication

Little love and sympathy

Cool libation

It's complimentary

Play a little poker

Love when the stakes are high

Lotta nasty women

Givin' everyone the eye



Say downtown Jimmy

Tell me whatcha need

Satisfaction guaranteed

Guaranteed, yeah



It's a perfect situation

It's so nice to have you here



Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta pull out

Happy shiny people everywhere



Come on let's ride

Ride that gypsy train

All aboard

Now don't you be afraid

Come on let's ride

Ride that gypsy train

Feed the fire

Let's go one mo' time again



(Instrumental break)



It's a perfect situation

It's so nice to have you here

Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta put out

Happy shiny people everywhere



Come on let's ride

Ride that gypsy train

All aboard

Now don't you be afraid

Come on let's ride

Ride that gypsy train

Feed the fire

Let's go one mo' time again

Tired and frozen

I'm under your spell

I thought I knew you

But now I know you well

I wake up beside you

Move across your killing floor

I need my freedom and I see an open door

The room is getting smaller and the walls are closin' in

No one's leavin' and nobody's gettin' in



I try to run

I try to hide

I try to tell you what I'm feelin' inside

Should I stay

Should I go

You know I wanna touch you

But there's nothing left to hold



Don't chain my heart

Don't chain my soul

Don't chain my heart

'Cause you got to let it go



Looks like trouble

The signs are everywhere

I bend a little but you take more than your share

Crimes of passion

Crimes of mortal men

It's a deadly attraction and I won't be fooled again, baby

The storm is coming

The winds begin to rise

Please release me from this house of compromise



All day

All night

Your love is like an outlaw waiting till the time is right

Nobody's wrong

No one's to blame

Maybe it's just too hot because we're standin' in the flame



Don't chain my heart

Don't chain my soul

Don't chain my heart

'Cause you got to let it go





I'm a victim of your pain and jealousy

I feel like a prisoner and you hold the lock and key

We lost our vision

We lost our paradise

But there's still a part of me I refuse to sacrifice



(Instrumental break)



I try to run

I try to hide

I need to tell you what I'm feelin' inside, baby

Should I stay

Should I go

You know I wanna touch you

But there's nothing left to hold



Don't chain my heart

Don't chain my soul

Don't chain my heart

'Cause you got to let it go

Seems the world needs a change in its attitude

It doesn't seem like there's much that a man can do

They try to sell the earth on a wild crusade

Then complain about not bein' paid



How can some people have the nerve

Hell hasn't froze but it's on the verge

It's gone way past the point of greed

How many lifetimes will we need



'Cause it's never enough

They keep on takin' till they take too much

'Cause it's never enough

It won't be long until they run out of luck



We've been bought and sold for a thousand years

And all I got to show is a six pack full of tears

And all the while the fat cats they watch from the hill

Nothin's changed, it never has an' never will



You better strap on your sharpest spurs

For the ride of your life

'Cause it's gonna hurt

You can't say you didn't ask for this

It's too late to find somebody's ass to kick



'Cause it's never enough

They keep on takin' till they take too much

'Cause it's never enough

It won't be long until they run out of luck



(Instrumental break)



Who's got the money and who gets the rent

By the time it's all over

You ain't got a cent

Hey, hey



How can some people have the nerve

Hell hasn't froze but it's on the verge

It's gone way past the point of greed

How many lifetimes will we need



'Cause it's never enough

They keep on takin' till they take too much

'Cause it's never enough

It won't be long until they run out of luck

How many years

Keep on slipping away

And it seems that your life doesn't matter

You never had a chance



How many ways is a love torn apart

And you look to your heart

For some answers

Don't let it slip away



Can't blame myself anymore

I've been beaten and accused before

Well I took some bad advice

And I paid too high a price

I could sell my soul

You know I wouldn't think twice



How many times must a man fall down

I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh

How many dreams have to fall to the ground

It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on yeah



How many times do you look for some sign

That there's hope

And your life has some meaning

Almost every day



Maybe I was born to wander

I got no high hopes any longer

So tell me my friend

Just where does it end

Is nothin' ever gonna free me

From this hell I'm livin' in



How many times must a man fall down

I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh

How many dreams have to fall to the ground

It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on yeah



(Instrumental break)



Can't blame myself anymore

I've been beaten and accused before

So tell me my friend

Just where does it end

I'm sick and tired

Of livin' in a rat race that no one ever wins



How many times must a man fall down

I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh

How many dreams have to fall to the ground

It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on yeah

You said you would wait for me

But something went wrong

The house was empty

Your pictures gone

I knew you'd come back one day

Our love was so strong

The past behind us

It's here you belong



'Cause I'm deep inside you

You're deep inside me

I always knew that we would always be



Two hearts forever

One heart alone

I need to know your love is mine

Two hearts forever

One heart alone

I won't let go of you this time



You could've talked to me

What changed your mind

I could have been there by your side

You thought you could walk away

But you know that's a lie

This loneliness is hard to hide



It's so easy to surrender

And temptation always finds a way

You must hold on

You know we must hold on

Whoa-oh-oh



Two hearts forever

One heart alone

I need to know your love is mine

Two hearts forever

One heart alone

I won't let go of you this time



(Instrumental break)



Two hearts forever

One heart alone

I need to know your love is mine

Two hearts forever

One heart alone

I won't let go of you this time



Two hearts forever

One heart alone

I won't let go of you this time

Take this heart of mine

Whoa-oh-oh

My faithful companion

I've lost my way once again

A prisoner of darkness

I let you down my friend



A heart left abandoned takes so long to heal its wounds

Your touch not forgotten

The end of the dream

It comes too soon

In this lonely room

Till I leave this world

Always know that



I will surrender my heart to the sky

Oh our love doesn't end here

It lives forever on the wings of time



The road that I travel

Don't know which way I should turn

Till I find the answer

Know that the fire within me will always burn



Angel of mercy, please

Why so much pain?

I cry for forgiveness

I'm the destitute man

Who still remains

It's so hard to explain

Till I leave this world

Always know that



I will surrender my heart to the sky

Oh our love doesn't end here

It lives forever on the wings of time



Sometimes I feel just like crying

I can't turn my back

All these years I've been trying

A vision of you keeps reappearing to me

You can't blame yourself

Just reach out your hand and believe



(Instrumental break)



We sail in dark waters

Lord give me some peace of mind

Temptation before me

Ahead lies the tower of truth that I must find

To you I will climb

Till I leave this cruel world far behind

Always know that



I will surrender my heart to the sky

Oh our love doesn't end here

It lives forever on the wings of time

She got fingernails like knives

She got twenty-four karat eyes

She wants everything she sees

She'll drop you to your knees

She ain't gonna change her wicked ways

I'll love her till my dying day

She got poison heart

Painted smile

She always has a girlfriend



She knows the devil

She knows the devil

She knows the devil

And the devil knows me

She knows the devil

She knows the devil

She knows the devil

And the devil knows me

Whoa, whoa, whoa



Bad little girl with a vermin tongue

Ooh, she loves to have her fun

The daughter of Mephistopheles

She loves to aim and she aims to please

She'll take any young god and burn him down

He'll see who's the queen and who's the clown

She got lips that bleed

She's what I need

I want her for my girlfriend



She knows the devil

She knows the devil

She knows the devil

And the devil knows me

She knows the devil

She knows the devil

She knows the devil

And the devil knows me

Whoa, whoa, whoa



(Instrumental break)



She wants everything she sees

She'll drop you to your knees

She ain't gonna change her wicked ways

I'll love her till my dying day

She got poison heart

Painted smile

She always brings a girlfriend



She knows the devil

She knows the devil

She knows the devil

And the devil knows me

She knows the devil

She knows the devil

She knows the devil

And the devil knows me

Whoa, whoa, whoa



Whoa, whoa, whoa

She knows the devil

Whoa, whoa, whoa

She knows the devil

The waiting game is over

No need for pretending

We were meant to be

It's only getting stronger

The love I feel for you

It's no mystery



I've got to find some way to tell you

Though our world seems far apart

It just don't have to be

The time has come to testify

All the feelings I've been holding back

It's time to set them free



I've been watching you from the other side

I've been wanting to hold you through the night

I've got to find my way to the other side

I want to hold you tonight and forever



The moment that I saw you

I knew inside my heart

All my dreams would come true

I know it took some time to realize

A love we can't deny

I've got to see it through



I've been watching you from the other side

I've been wanting to hold you through the night

I've got to find my way to the other side

I want to hold you tonight and forever



I want to be the one who loves you

Now and forever

I want to take my place beside you

I want to be the one to hold you

Now and forever

I will meet you there on the other side



(Instrumental break)



I've been watching you from the other side

I've been wanting to hold you through the night

I've got to find my way to the other side

I want to hold you tonight and forever

Waiting for you again

Seems like this never ends

I close my eyes and I see your face

And I see it all fading away



Woke up before you again

You're still asleep I can't pretend

I feel like I'm losing you

And I am trying to make everything right



Only you

Only me

Say the words I want to hear for all eternity

Only you

Holding my heart in your hands

Only me

Still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh



If I could have a second chance

Maybe change the circumstance

Imagine if the dream came true

We could start it all over tonight



Only you

Only me

Say the words I want to hear for all eternity

Only you

Holding my heart in your hands

Only me

Still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh

Took the long way to the shortcut

And the walls were made of stone

Took the low road to the highground

Had to feel it in my bones

Everybody wants some heaven

But nobody wants to die

It's been brought to my attention

You'll be dead a long time

Now ain't that a crime



Kick down the walls

Shake down the building

Help me bust out of this cage

Kick down the walls

Shake down the building

Must be time for a change



I went driving in the moonlight

There was no place left to go

I went digging in my coalmine

When I hit the motherload

If this world could work together

Like a big old human clock

It would run on till forever

It would never have to stop, never have to stop



Kick down the walls

Shake down the building

Help me bust out of this cage

Kick down the walls

Shake down the building

Must be time for a change



(Instrumental break)



You can't buy no protection

Don't care who you are

Spreading out in all directions

Now it's no hold barred

Everybody runs for cover

From the sun and sex and sin

If you think you got the answers

Buddy just you come on in

Step right in



Kick down the walls

Shake down the building

Help me bust out of this cage

Kick down the walls

Shake down the building

Must be time for a change



Kick down the walls

Shake down the building

Kick down the walls

Shake down the building

Kick down the walls

Shake down the building

Kick down the walls

Shake down the building

You used to be on fire now you chill me to the bone

We used to fly like angels now we're sinking like a stone

You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels

I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels



Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing

I been stabbed in the back babe

And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing



And oh, one thing I know

There's only one place left for me to go



Going back to the kingdom of desire

Going down to the valley of the gun

I'm gonna stand too close to the fire

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun



They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed

My sheets feel like sandpaper

And my pillow feels like lead

But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea

I'm sinking like a stone babe that's how it's got to be



Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing

I been stabbed in the back babe

And if you don't love me I'll never feel a thing



And oh, if I don't have you

There's only one thing left for me to do



Going back to the kingdom of desire

Going down to the valley of the gun

I'm gonna stand too close to the fire

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun



(Instrumental break)



When you dig up God's little acre you lose all peace of mind

You stare into the distance looking for a sign

But that sign it never comes babe

Your wishes won't come true

You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you



And oh, one thing I know

There's only one place left for me to go



Going back to the kingdom of desire

Going down to the valley of the gun

I'm gonna stand too close to the fire

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun



I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah

I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
