Razamanaz:

We've got to get it together 
You bring the wine, we'll bring the weather 
We haven't come to be clever 
Let's make it now cause this could be never 

We're gonna razamataz ya tonight 
We're gonna razamanaz ya all night 
Razamataz razamanaz up on your feet 
Let's see ya dance, dance, dance 

Now that we've come to a showdown 
We won't allow you a second to slow down 
The moment has come to deliver 
You as the taker, and we as the giver 

We're gonna razamataz ya tonight 
We're gonna razamanaz ya all night 
Razamataz razamanaz up on your feet 
Let's see ya dance, dance, dance  

All of the world loves a raver 
We're playin for ravers who savor the flavor 
You all appear calm and collected 
Razamanazin' you never expected 

We're gonna razamataz ya tonight 
We're gonna razamanaz ya all night 
Razamataz razamanaz up on your feet 
Let's see ya dance, dance, dance

Alcatraz:
(Russell)
	 
Now lay me down on market street 
I'm lookin' for some spare change 
A coast guard ship has been lookin' for me 
And I might have to change my name 
Here comes uncle sam again with the same old bag of beans 
The local chief's on the radio 
He's got some hungry mouths to feed 
Goin back to Alcatraz 

Lay me back down here on the highway 
One hundred and one ways to go 
Solitary is so confinin' 
To the legend of Geronimo 
Oh I know I could bring the rain 
Used to dance for abc 
And all the braves down on death row 
Are pretending to be me 
Back home in Alcatraz 

In the land of the great white father 
My american blood runs cold 
I left my home in Oklahoma 
To the Everglades I go 
It's just the wings on the silver cars 
And I'm allowed to plow a field 
It's not the life for a nineteen seventy 
Indian born to doom 
Goin' back to Alcatraz 

Lay me down on market street 
I'm lookin for some spare change 
A coast guard ship has been lookin' for me 
Might have to change my name 
Here comes Uncle Sam again with the same old bag of beans 
Local chief's on the radio 
He's got some hungry mouths to feed 
Goin' back to Alcatraz 

Here comes Uncle Sam again with the same old bag of beans 
Local chief's on the radio 
He's got some hungry mouths to feed 
Goin' back to Alcatraz 
Goin' back to Alcatraz

Vigilante Man:
(Gunthrie)
	 
Have you seen that vigilante man 
Have you seen that vigilante man 
Have you seen that vigilante man 
I've been hearin' his name all over this land 

Lonely nights down in the engine house 
Sleepin' just as still as a mouse 
Man comes home, chase the crowds in the rain 
That's a vigilante man 
Vigilante man 
Vigilante man 

Well I ramble around from town to town 
Ramble 'round from town to town 
And they hunted us a while like a wild herd of cattle 
That's a vigilante man 

Tell me why does that vigilante man 
Tell me why does that vigilante man 
Carry that sawed off shotgun in his hand 
Would he shoot his brother and sister down 

Have you seen that vigilante man 
Have you seen that vigilante man 
Have you seen that vigilante man 
I've been hearin' his name all over this land 
Vigilante man 
Vigilante man

Woke Up This Morning:

Woke up this morning 
My dog was dead 
Someone disliked him 
And shot him through the head 

I woke up this morning 
And my cat had died 
I'm gonna miss her 
Sat down and cried 

Came home this evening 
My hog was gone 
The people here don't like me 
I think I'll soon move on 

And now somethin's happened 
That would make a saint frown 
I turned my back and 
My house burned down 

Woke up this morning 
My dog was dead 
Someone disliked him 
And shot him through the head 

I woke up this morning 
And my cat had died 
Don't you know I'm gonna miss her 
Sat down and cried

Night Woman:

She's a night woman of my dreams 
And I saw her glidin' on a moon beam 
Silver stardust in her eyes 
In the way she leaves her sighs 
Last night I fell asleep 
Thought I heard her voice begin to speak 
My mind is in distress 
On my cheek I felt her breath 
I could feel her body's warmin' glow 
My frozen blood begn to flow 
She's a night woman of my dreams 
And I saw her glidin' on a moon beam 
Comes, stays, then disappears 
In the morning sun my vision clears 
I could smell the roses in her hair 
But when I awoke she was not there 

Oooh, oooh, night woman of my dream 
Oooh, oooh, night woman of my dream 
Oooh, oooh, she's a night woman of my dream 
Oooh, oooh, night woman of my dream

Bad Bad Boy: 
	 
I'm a bad, bad, boy 
And I'm gonna steal your love 
Said I'm a bad, bad, boy 
And I'm gonna steal your love 
Come take me to your house 
Then I'm gonna rip you off 

Well I made my first kill 
With the old town girl 
She was the apple of her daddy's eye 
Well that woman looked up at me 
And I said honey we'll be 
Together 'till the day I die 
But I lied 

I'm a bad, bad, boy 
And I'm gonna steal your love 
Said I'm a bad, bad, boy 
And I'm gonna steal your love 
Come take me to your house 
Then I'm gonna rip you off 

There seems to be no end 
Of women who are lookin' for a man 
My services don't come cheap 
But I help out when I can 
Tell them lies that they wanna hear 
Andi really lead em on 
Spend all of their money 
And I'm long, gone 

I'm a bad, bad, boy 
And I'm gonna steal your love 
Said I'm a bad, bad, boy 
And I'm gonna steal your love 
Come take me to your house 
Then I'm gonna rip you off 

I've got tastes for fast cars 
I don't wanna settle down 
The good life sure comes easily 
With all the mugs around 
The women they just come to me 
I don't have to look around 
I move into their homes with them 
Then I move on 

I'm a bad, bad, boy 
And I'm gonna steal your love 
I'm a bad, bad, boy 
I'm gonna steal your love 
Come take me to your house 
Then I'm gonna rip you off 

I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, boy 
I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm such a, such a bad, bad boy 
I'm gonna rip you off 
Just take control of your mind 
I'm a bad, bad, boy 
I'm gonna steal your love 
I'm a bad, bad, boy 
I'm gonna steal your love 
I'm gonna rip you off 
Just take control of the time 
I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad 
You know I'm a bad boy 
I'm so bad.....

Sold My Soul:
	 
I prayed to god and Jesus 
But I guess they didn't hear 
My sacrfice was useless 
My pleas fell on deaf ears 
So I cried in desperation 
Bowed to evil sorcery 

I looked to the lord in heaven 
But he must have looked away 
My crying eyes repentant 
Please send her love to light my day 
So I cried in desperation 
Bowed to evil sorcery 

I sold my soul 
Sold my soul 
I sold my soul to the devil 
So I cried in desperation 
Bowed to evil sorcery 

I sold my soul 
Sold my soul 
I sold my soul to the devil 
Sold my soul 
Sold my soul 
I sold my soul 
Sold my soul 
Sold my soul to the devil 
To the devil 
Sold my soul 
Sold my soul 
I sold my soul 
I sold my soul 
I sold my soul to the devil

Too Bad Too Sad:
	 
Once I had a girl 
She called me on the phone 
Said come on over honey 
You know I'm all alone 
But when I got to her place 
What I saw stopped me dead 
She was standin' with a shotgun 
Pointed at my head 
My my too bad too sad 
My my too good to last 
So I'm cuttin' out fast 

Once I had a friend 
We had a lot of laughs 
He was all a friend could be 
Knowin' him was just a gas 
One night I got home 
He gave me one surprise 
He was standin' in a womans dress 
Lashes on his eyes 
My my too bad too sad 
My my too good to last 
So I'm cuttin'out fast 

My, my, my 
My, my, my 
Had a pretty wife 
She was all I could need 
Gave me what I wanted 
Never had to plead 
One day a man called 
And he put me wise 
Shes doin' the same thing 
With ten other guys 
My my too bad too sad 
My my too good to last 
So I'm cuttin'out fast 
My my too bad too sad 
My my too good to last 
So I'm cuttin' out fast 
My, my, my 
My, my, my

Broken Down Angel:
	 
She used to be someone you could depend on 
To brighten up your coldest winter day 
But the one she leaned upon 
Let her down, noow has moved on 
And morning brings another empty day 

Chorus 
Now she's only a broken down angel 
She's only a bird that's broke her wing 
She's only someone, somone who's gone wrong 
She's only a child that's lost her way 

She used to be a girl of simple pleasures 
A breath of spring to chase your blues away 
But now she bears a cross, for a love that she has lost 
No sunshine in her life just clouds of gray 

Chorus 

She's only a broken down angel 
She's only a bird that's broke her wing 
She's only someone, somone who's gone wrong 
She's only a child that's lost her way 

Now she's only a broken down angel 
She's only a bird that's broke her wing 
She's only someone, somone who's gone wrong 
She's only a child that's lost her way
