I was so fed up with myself I had to change my ways I was so far off with myself It was the final stage Almost fell off a cliff I had to learn to fly You gotta get 'em You gotta do it You gotta get 'em Do it Ride on top of the rollercoaster Walk up the down escalator I've tried all of the things that give me love Fly like a fallen angel Love just like it's second nature I've tried all of the things that give me love There is no man that is an island Can do it by yourself (by yourself) Climb down off of your horse The kingdom to survey Fall all over the place I guess I made a mess You gotta get 'em You gotta do it You gotta get 'em Do it Ride on top of the roller coaster Walk up the down escalator I've tried all of the things that give me love Fly like a fallen angel Love just like it's second nature I've tried all of the things that give me love You gotta get 'em You gotta do it You gotta get 'em Do it Ride on top of the rollercoaster Walk up the down escalator I've tried all of the things that give me love Fly like a fallen angel Love just like it's second nature I've tried all of the things that give me love Ride on top of the rollercoaster Walk up the down escalator I've tried all of the things that give me love Fly like a fallen angel Love just like it's second nature I've tried all of the things that give me love

If you've never had no one Take the word of a fallen angel If you never been no where Take the word of a fallen angel If you've ever been lonely Take the word of a fallen angel You know you're not the first to fall And you know you won't be the last In flight, you never think you can Can be the one who's gonna crash. When you think you can't go on Look around for a fallen angel When you feel you're the lost one Look around for a fallen angel When you're hurtin' for someone Look around for a fallen angel You know you're not the first to fall And you know you won't be the last In flight, you never think you can Can be the one who's gonna crash Don't you think it's time to show Don't you think it's time we know What's in your heart There's a lesson to be learned Take the word of a fallen angel There's a song for every heart Take the word of a fallen angel When you find out where you are Don't you know you're a fallen angel If you've never had no one.

Maybe she was smilin' in the mirror Maybe I was too, 'cause I was stoned Singin' every sad song on the juke-box one more time Honey, they were hittin' close to home And I said - Maybe this'll make you think I'm crazy Honey, don't feel lonesome if you do But if you wanna make a young man happy one more time I'd sure like to spend the night with you Chorus: And she said - Stranger Shut out the light and lead me Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me Stranger, could I believe in you Maybe you got all you got together Maybe you keep rollin' like a stone Maybe some old lonesome song'll take you by surprise And leave you just a little more alone Chorus: Singing - Stranger Shut out the light and lead me Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me Stranger, could I believe in you Chorus: Keep Singing - Stranger Shut out the light and lead me Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me Stranger, could I believe in you

See the ruin on the hill, where the smoke is hangin' still Like an echo of an age-long forgotten There's a story of a home crushed beneath those blackened stones And a roof that fell before the beams were rotten See, Saul Darby loved his wife and he labored all his life To provide her with material possessions And he built for her a home of the finest wood and stone And the building soon became his sole obsession Oh, it took 300 days for the timbers to be raised And the silhouette was seen for miles around And the gables reached as high as the eagles in the sky But it only took one night to bring it down When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground Though they shared a common bed, there was precious little said In the moments that he set aside for sleepin' 'Cause his busy dreams were filled with the rooms he'd yet to build And he never heard young Helen Darby weepin' Then one night he heard a sound as he laid his pencil down And he traced it to her door and turned the handle And the pale light of the moon through the windows of the room Split the shadows where two bodies lay entangled Oh, it took 300 days for the timbers to be raised And the silhouette was seen for miles around And the gables reached as high as the eagles in the sky But it only took one night to bring it down When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground Thank you

Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota in the morning In the rain Black as I was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake Each of us was a-humming to a half forgotten echo Hangin' over in the brain Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard And leavin' every yesterday behind Learning every bridge you cross, is burning down before you're off and Running Like the devil just in time Chorus: Breakin' any ties before they bind you Taking any comfort you can find Running like you're running out of time Take it all-take it easy-till it's over-understanding When you're headin' for the border lord You're bound to cross the line Good lookin' women every time you stumble Waitin' there to catch you when you fall Gettin' to you bad enough to let em Keep you backin' up till just before your back's against the wall Chorus: Breakin' any ties before they bind you Takin' any comfort you can find Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time Take it all-take it easy-till it's over-understanding When you're headin' for the border lord You're bound to cross the line

I just wanted a ride I just want you to know I got nothing to hide I got nowhere to go And the hunger is hard As a promise to keep And the night's are so long And the silence so deep There's a piece of my mind The world can't erase I remember the time And the look on your face And i will tell the wind Blow the stars from the sky The road never ends The soul never dies Be who you are Just as long as you can Know in your heart I'm still your man Headin' for home Starlight and stone
