On every street

Calling elvis - is anybody home

Calling elvis - I'm here all alone

Did he leave the building

Or can he come to the phone

Calling elvis - I'm here all alone



Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well

Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel

Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel

Return to sender - treat me like a fool



Calling elvis - is anybody home

Calling elvis - I'm here all alone

Did he leave the building

Ccan he come to the phone

Calling elvis - I'm here all alone



Why don't you go get him - I'm his biggest fan

You gotta tell him - he's still the man

Long distance baby - so far from home

Don't you think maybe you could put him on



Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well

Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel

Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel

Return to sender - treat me like a fool



Calling elvis - is anybody home

Calling elvis - I'm here all alone

Did he leave the building

Or can he come to the phone

Calling elvis - I'm here all alone

There's gotta be a record of you someplace

You gotta be on somebody's books

The lowdown - a picture of your face

Your injured looks

The sacred and profane

The pleasure and the pain

Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete

And it's your face I'm looking for on every street



A ladykiller - regulation tattoo

Silver spurs on his heels

Says - what can I tell you as I'm standing next to you

She threw herself under my wheels

Oh it's a dangerous road

And a hazardous load

And the fireworks over liberty explode in the heat

And it's your face I'm looking for on every street



A three-chord symphony crashes into space

The moon is hanging upside down

I don't know why it is I'm still on the case

It's a ravenous town

And you still refuse to be traced

Seems to me such a waste

And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet

And it's your face I'm looking for on every stree

If we can't get along we oughtta be apart

And I'm wondering where'd you get that cold, cold heart

Set me free - sign my release

I'm tired of being the villain of the piece



You been givin' me a bad time

Tell me what'd I do

How come I always get a hard time

Honey when it comes to you

Sayin' things that you didn't have to

How come I always get a hard time

Honey when it comes to you



You only get one life - this I know

I wanna get my licks in now before I go

The fire of love is dead and cold

I gotta satisfy the hunger in my soul



And you been givin' me a bad time

Tell me what'd I do

How come I always get a hard time

Honey when it comes to you

Sayin' things that you didn't have to

How come I always get a hard time

Honey when it comes to you

I wonder where you are tonight

You're probably on the rampage somewhere

You have been known to take delight

In gettin' in somebody's hair

And you always had the knack

Fade to black



I bet you already made a pass

I see a darkened room somewhere

You run your finger round the rim of his glass

Run your fingers through his hair

They scratch across his back

Fade to black



Well maybe it's all for the best

But I wish I'd never been lassooed

Maybe it's some kind of test

But I wish I'd never been tattooed

Or been to hell and back

Fade to black

Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow

One step forward and it's back to go

You're standing on the throttle

You're standing on the brakes

In the groove 'til you make a mistake



Sometimes you're the windshield

Sometimes you're the bug

Sometimes it all comes together baby

Sometimes you're a fool in love

Sometimes you're the louisville slugger

Sometimes you're the ball

Sometimes it all comes together baby

Sometimes you're going lose it all



You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad

Because you're gonna know lonely

And you're gonna know bad

When you're rippin' and a ridin'

And you're coming on strong

You start slippin' and slidin'

And it all goes wrong because



Sometimes you're the windshield

Sometimes you're the bug

Sometimes it all comes together baby

Sometimes you're a fool in love

Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby

Sometimes you're the ball

Sometimes it all comes together baby

Sometimes you're going lose it all



One day you got the glory

One day you got none

One day you're a diamond

And then you're a stone

Everything can change

In the blink of an eye

So let the good times roll

Before we say goodbye, because



Sometimes you're the windshield

Sometimes you're the bug

Sometimes it all comes together baby

Sometimes you're a fool in love

Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby

Sometimes you're the ball

Sometimes it all comes together baby

Sometimes you're going lose it all

Will you and your friend come around

Are you and your friend gonna get on down

Will you and your friend come around

Or are you and your friend gonna let me down



If you talk to one another

I'm a hungry man

Let me know one way or the other

So I can make my plans



Will you and your friend come around

Are you and your friend gonna get on down

Will you and your friend come around

Or are you and your friend gonna get on down



I relive the situation

Still see it in my mind

You got my imagination

Working overtime

Last time I was sober, man I felt bad

Worst hangover that I ever had

It took six hamburgers and scotch all night

Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right

'cos if you wanna run cool

If you wanna run cool

If you wanna run cool, you got to run

On heavy, heavy fuel



My life makes perfect sense

Lust and food and violence

Sex and money are my major kicks

Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks

'cos if you wanna run cool

Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run

On heavy, heavy fuel



My chick loves a man who's strong

The things she'll do to turn me on

I love the babes, don't get me wrong

Hey, that's why I wrote this song



I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread

Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead

When my ugly big car won't climb this hill

I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill

'cos if you wanna run cool

If you wanna run cool

Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run

On heavy, heavy fuel

With all the clarity of dream

The sky so blue, the grass so green

The rank and file and the navy blue

The deep and strong, the straight and true



The blue line they got the given sign

The belts and boots marched forward in time

The wood and the leather the club and shield

Swept like a wave across the battlefield



Now with all the clarity of dream

The blood so red, the grass so green

The gleam of spur on the chestnut flank

The cavalry did burst upon the ranks



Oh the iron will and the iron hand

In england's green and pleasant land

No music for the shameful scene

That night they said it had even shocked the queen



Well alas we've seen it all before

Knights in armour, days for yore

The same old fears and the same old crimes

We haven't changed since ancient times

I can see what you're looking to find

In the smile on my face

In my peace of mind

In my state of grace

I send what I can

To the man from the ministry

He's a part of heaven's plan

And he talks to me



Now I send what I can to the man

With the diamond ring

He's a part of heaven's plan

And he sure can sing

Now it's all I can afford

But the lord has sent me eternity

It's to save the little children

In a poor country



I got my ticket to heaven

And everlasting life

I got a ride all the way to paradise

I got my ticket to heaven

And everlasting life

All the way to paradise



Now there's nothing left for luxuries

Nothing left to pay my heating bill

But the good lord will provide

I know he will

So send what you can

To the man with the diamond ring

They're tuning in across the land

To hear him sing



I got my ticket to heaven

And everlasting life

I got a ride all the way to paradise

I got my ticket to heaven

And everlasting life

All the way to paradise

Well this is my back yard - my back gate

I hate to start my parties late

Here's the party cart - ain't that great?

That ain't the best part baby - just wait

That a genuine weathervane - it moves with the breeze

Portable hammock baby - who needs trees

It's casual entertaining - we aim to please

At my parties



Check out the shingles - it's brand new

Excuse me while I mingle - hi, how are you

Hey everybody - let me give you a toast

This one's for me - the host with the most



It's getting a trifle colder - step inside my home

That's a brass toilet tissue holder with its own telephone

That's a musical doorbell - it don't ring, I ain't kiddin'

It plays america the beautiful and tie a yellow ribbon



Boy, this punch is a trip - it's o.k. in my book

Here, take a sip - maybe a little heavy on the fruit

Ah, here comes the dip - you may kiss the cook

Let me show you honey - it's easy - look

You take a fork and spike 'em - say, did you try these?

So glad you like 'em - the secret's in the cheese

It's casual entertaining - we aim to please

At my parties



Now don't talk to me about the polar bear

Don't talk to me about the ozone layer

Ain't much of anything these days, even the air

They're running out of rhinos - what do I care?

Let's hear it for the dolphin - let's hear it for the trees

Ain't running out of nothing in my deep freeze

It's casual entertaining - we aim to please 

At my parties

Standin' in the corner

Of toulouse and dauphine

Waitin' on marie-ondine

I'm tryin' to place a tune

Under a louisiana moonbeam

On the planet of New Orleans



In a bar they call the saturn

And in her eyes of green

And somethin' that she said in a dream

Inside of my suit I got my mojo root

And a true love figurine

For the planet of new orleans



New Orleans - the other planet

With other life upon it

And everythin' that's shakin' in between

If you should ever land upon it

You better know what's on it

The planet of New Orleans



Now I'm tryin' to find my way

Through the rain and the steam

I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen

And then I heard her say

Somethin' in the limousine

'bout taking a ride across the planet of New Orleans



If she was an ace

And I was just a jack

And the cards were never seen

We could have been the king and the queen

But she took me back to her courtyard

Where magnolia perfume screams

Behind the gates and the granite

Of the planet of New Orleans

How long, how long baby

How long has it been

How long you gonna keep me wondering

How long before you see

Stallin' me was wrong - how long



How long, how long you gonna keep

Slappin' my hands away

How long you gonna keep my love at bay

How long before you're sure

My love is strong - how long



How long, how long you gonna keep

Tellin' me you like me fine

How long until I'm gonna make you mine

How long before you wake up

And find your good man gone - how long
