I came so far for beauty I left so much behind My patience and my family My masterpiece unsigned I thought I'd be rewarded For such a lonely choice And surely she would answer To such a very hopeless voice I practiced on my sainthood I gave to one and all But the rumours of my virtue They moved her not at all I changed my style to silver I changed my clothes to black And where I would surrender Now I would attack I stormed the old casino For the money and the flesh And I myself decided What was rotten and what was fresh And men to do my bidding And broken bones to teach The value of my pardon The shadow of my reach But no, I could not touch her With such a heavy hand Her star beyond my order Her nakedness unmanned I came so far for beauty I left so much behind My patience and my family My masterpiece unsigned

I walked along the avenue I never thought I'd meet a girl like you Meet a girl like you With auburn hair and tawny eyes The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through Hypnotize me through And I ran, I ran so far away I couldn't get away A cloud appears above your head A beam of light comes shining down on you Shining down on you The cloud is moving nearer still Aurora borealis comes in view Aurora comes in view And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day I couldn't get away Reached out a hand to touch your face You're slowly disappearing from my view Disappearing from my view Reached out a hand to try again I'm floating in a beam of light with you A beam of light with you And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day I couldn't get away

I feel a little bit left of center But then again, we've all been there before Every time I see a lost cause coming It's nothing less, nothing more Every time I get lost in paradise I find a way to screw it up somehow Not the way it's supposed to be But it'll do for now When you're right, you're right Everything else in my life just might be wrong You're wrong all the time So far so good 'cause no one knows I'm faking I wish I could show you the toll it's taking Sometimes I live as if there's no tomorrow So far so good I better find a way to cross my fingers Half the luck will get me twice as far I'm sick and tired of coming up for air It shouldn't be this hard Every little bit will help, I wonder If it's enough or did I cross the line The kitchen counter is a bad reminder of a better time When you're right, you're right Everything else in my life just might be wrong You're wrong all the time So far so good, 'cause no one knows I'm faking I wish I could show you the toll it's taking Sometimes I live as if there's no tomorrow So far so good When you're right Everything else you messed up just might be wrong You're wrong all the time So far so good, 'cause no one knows I'm faking I wish I could show you the toll it's taking Sometimes I live as if there's no tomorrow So far so good So far so good, 'cause no one knows I'm faking I wish I could show you the toll it's taking Sometimes I live as if there's no tomorrow So far so good

Hey, old friend, let's look back On the crazy clothes we wore Ain't it fun to look back And to see it's all been done before? All those nights together are our special memories. And I can't wait for tomorrow just As long as you're dancing next to me. Cuz it's so clear, every year we get stronger! Though what's gone is gone... And the past is the past... Turn the radio up... And then hit the gas cuz... I know we've come so far, but we've got so far to go. I know the road seems long, but it won't be long 'til it's time to go.

I know we've come so far, but we've got so far to go. I know the road seems long, but it won't be long 'til it's time to go. So Most days we'll take it fast, but some nights we'll take it slow. I know we've come so far, but baby! Baby! We've got so far to go! Hey ol' friend! Come along for the ride. There's plenty of room so jump inside. The highway is rockin' every now and then. It feels so much better where I been. Just keep moving at your own speed, Your heart is all the compass you'll ever need, Let's keep cruising on the road we're on Because the rear view mirror only shows what's gone gone gone! We've got so far to go! Oh it's so clear! Every year, we get stronger. So shine that light and take my hand And let's dance into the promise land cuz... I know we've come so far, but we've got so far to go. I know the road seems long, but it won't be long 'til it's time to go. So Most days we'll take it fast, but some nights we'll take it slow. I know we've come so far, but baby! Baby! We've got so far to go!

A little bit of hope gone too far A little bit of pain leaves a scar You got yours, I've got yours A little bit of dream disappears When a word like love 'causes so much fear I've got mine, you've got mine The lines all drawn The time is now Love will show us how Tonight we'll cross that great divide No turning back Tonight we'll let our hearts decide Our souls will follow With a little bit of luck, we'll take it step by step If we never give it up, we'll we might get there yet Tonight, we'll let our hearts decide We'll cross that great divide When we lose our trust, can we keep our faith? When it's up to us just to dream this way Well, I've got mine, you've got mine Now the lines all drawn The time is now Love will show us how Tonight we'll cross that great divide No turning back Tonight we'll let our hearts decide Our souls will follow With a little bit of luck, we'll take it step by step If we never give it up, well, we might get there yet Tonight, we'll let our hearts decide We'll cross that great divide I know I've been there Tonight we'll cross that great divide No turning back Tonight we'll let our hearts decide And our souls will follow With a little bit of luck, take it step by step If we never give it up, well, we might get there yet Tonight we'll let our hearts decide If we'll cross that great divide (Tonight we'll cross that great divide) with a little bit of luck, baby (Tonight) tonight (we'll cross that great divide) Let our hearts decide to know With a little bit of luck (tonight we'll cross that great divide) I tell you, I know (tonight, we'll cross that great divide) cross the way Tonight (tonight we'll cross that great divide) (Tonight we'll cross that great divide)

Is it getting better Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now You got someone to blame You say... One love One life When it's one need In the night One love We get to share it Leaves you baby if you Don't care for it One... Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's... Too late Tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One... Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Yet you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head Did I ask too much More than a lot? You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same We got to Hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters And brothers One life But we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One One

Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel Thin man lookin' at his last meal Hollow man lookin' at a cottonfield For dignity Wise man lookin' at a blade of grass Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass Poor man lookin' through painted glass For dignity Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve Someone said dignity was the first to leave I went into the city, I went into the town Went to the land of the midnight sun Searchin' high, searchin' low Searchin' everywhere I know Askin' the cops wherever I go Have you seen dignity? Blind man breakin' out of a trance Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance Hopin' to find one circumstance Of dignity I went to the wedding of Mary-Lou She said, "I don't want nobody see me talkin' to you" Said she could be killed, if she told me what she knew About dignity Footprints runnin' cross the silver sand Steps fallin' down into tattoo land I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light In the bordertowns of despair So many roads, so much at stake Too many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take To find dignity
