All Night Long:	
(Blackmore, Glover)	
	
You're walking up with your eyes on me
It's looking good but I just don't know
I need a girl who can keep her head all night long
You didn't come just to see the show
I guess you know what you want to see
The way you smile lets me know I can't go wrong

I wanna touch you, wanna feel you
I wanna make you mine

I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long

I saw you standing there by the stage
Your black stockings and your see-through dress
You mouth is open but I don't want to hear you say good night
You're sorta young but you;re overage
I don't care cos I like you're style
Don't know about your brain but you look alright

I wanna touch you, wanna feel you
I wanna make you mine

Chorus

You're mind is dirty but your hands are clean
You're short of class but your legs are long
I can't stand to spend another night on my own
Hey girl would you like some wine?
What's your name are you by yourself?
Are you the one, what's your sign, can I take you home?

I wanna touch you, wanna feel you
Wanna make you mine

Man on the Silver Mountain:	
(Dio, Blackmore)	 	 
	 
Im a wheel, Im a wheel
I can roll, I can feel
And you can't stop me turning
Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun
I can move, I can run
But you'll never stop me burning

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someones screaming my name
Come and make me holy again
Im the man on the silver mountain
Im the man on the silver mountain

Im the day, Im the day
I can show you the way
And look Im right beside you
Im the night, Im the night
Im the dark and the light
With eyes that see inside you

Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someones screaming my name
Come and make me holy again
Im the man on the silver mountain
Im the man on the silver mountain

Just look at me and listen
Im the man, the man, give you my hand
Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Im the man on the silver mountain
Im the man on the silver mountain
Im the night the light
The black and the white
The man on the silver mountain

Death Alley Driver:
(Turner, Blackmore)	

Rough and ready rider
in a supersonic sound machine
Rock and Roll survivor
Chrome pipes between your knees
Running all the red lites
Riding the white lines
You're gonna make a dead stop
But you just can't see the signs
Oh - you'll never win the race
But you can't give up the chase

Death alley driver
Living at high speed
Death alley driver... Yeah
Death alley driver... who knows what you need
Death alley driver...

One hundred twenty five smokin' on the turns
Always on the hit and run
But you never learn...
Running from the man... and you're running
from yourself
Another dirty angel heading straight to hell
Oh - you'll never win the race
But you won't give up the chase

Death alley driver... Life in overdrive
Death alley driver... yeah
Death alley driver... ride to stay alive
Death alley driver...
Let's go!

Red lights in the mirror
Danger on the band
Got to take a detour 'cause a road block's up ahead
He takes you on the corner with a wave of his hand
Death is in the back seat of a big old black sedan
Oh - you'll never win the race...
As you turn and see his face...

Death alley driver... Movin' for the kill
Death alley driver... yeah
Death alley driver... Time is standing still...
Death alley driver... Always on the run 'cause you're a...

Death alley driver... Love the way it feels
Death alley driver... yeah
Death alley driver... Hell on wheels...
Death alley driver... ooh

Tarot Woman:

I don't wanna go
Something tells me no, no, no, no
But traces in the sand
The lines inside my hand say go go go

Beware of a place
A smile on a bright shiny face
I'll never return, how do you know
Tarot woman, I don't know, I don't know

She can take you there
The entrance to the fair, my, my, my
Ride the carousel
Cast a magic spell, you can fly, fly

Something in the air
Tells me to beware, no, no, no
Her love is like a knife
She'll carve away your life, so go, so go

Top
Jealous Lover:
(Turner, Blackmore)	 

Lost and lonely
Clouds hide the sun
Out on the highway
It's all hit and run
Cold empty nights
Demons in my head
It's something I did
Or baby something you said
And it's hard to discover
That you're just another
Jealous Lover
And its so tough to take
But you're making no mistake
Jealous Lover
Oh Yeah
Don't want no other
Shades of red
Eyes of green
Sees black and white
And there's no in between
Ask me no questions
I'll tell you no lies
Still you keep thinking
That it's all alibis
And it's hard to discover
You're like any other
Jealous Lover
And you're saying I'm a fake
But you're making a mistake
Oh, no no
Every day it's the same
The faces and the names
How long can I go on
Playing this game
So I live for the nights
Soft candle lights
Today they love you
Then tomorrow they might
And it's hard to face
Someone else takes your place
Jealous Lover
And they're saying that's the brakes
But I got what it takes
Jealous Lover, ohh oh
Jealous Lover
Jealous Lover
Don't need no, no no
Don't need no other
Jealous Lover, yeah
Jealous Lover

Long Live Rock 'n' Roll:
(Dio, Blackmore)	   
	 
All right
Rock and roll, yeah

At the end of a dream
If you know what I mean
When the mist just starts to clear

In a similar way
At the end of the day
I can feel the sound of writing on the wall
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do

Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Let it live

In a different time
When the words didn't rhyme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change
It was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
I'm losing control

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll, yeah
Long live rock and roll
Look you

If you suddenly see
What has happened to me
You should spread the word around

And tell everyone here
That it is perfectly clear
They can sail above it all on what they've found
It cries for you
It's the best that you can do
Like a sound that's everywhere
I can hear it screaming through the air

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Let it live, let it live, let it live

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll, yeah
Long live rock and roll

Banners held high with a curse and cry and it's
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
You feel it around, spread it around, make you what just should

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Live, live, live, live

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Let it live, let it live, let it live, let it live

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll

Stargazer:
(Dio, Blackmore)	 	 
	 
High noon
Oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years' worth
Of breakin' my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides
Why he's lighter than air
Oh I see his face

Where is your star
Is it far, Is it far, is it far
When do we leave
I believe, yes, I believe

In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
So many die

We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
Don't know why
Now where do we go

Hot wind moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins while we put his wing together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh I see his face

Where is your star
It is far, is it far, is it far
When do we leave, yeah
I believe, I believe

In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
So many die

All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still
Then there's blood on the sand
Oh I see his face

Where was your star
Was it far, was it far
When did we leave
We believe, we believe, we believe

In the heat and rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We built a tower of stone
With out flesh and bone
To see him fly
But why, it don't rain
With all our chains,
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone
Now look, look, look, look
Look at this tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there on the horizon
And I'm coming home
Coming home, I'm coming home

Time is standing still
He gave me back my will
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is weeping
We still hope, we still hope, oh
Take me back
He gave me back my will
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is weeping
We still hope, we still hope, oh

Take me back, take me back
Back to my home, oh, oh...

Stone Cold:	 
	 
Every night I have the same old dream
'bout you and me and what's in between
So many changes, so many lies
Try to run, try to hick
From everything that I feel inside
But I can't escape you, or your frozen eyes...
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night...
Stone Cold...
And I knew you so well
Stone Cold
Can't break away from your spell

Another dark and empty night
It was wrong I wanna make it night
But you are so distant, so far away
Your words like ice fall on the ground
breaking the silence without a sound
Oh familiar strangers, with nothing to say
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night
Stone Cold...
And I thought I knew you so well...
Stone Cold...
I can't break away from your spell...
You leave me Stone Cold

Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and like a thief in the night
Stone Cold...
And I thought I knew you so well
You Stone Cold... yeah
I can't break away from your spell
You Stone Cold... baby
I thought I knew you so well
You're Stone cold... Ice cold...
Can't break away from your spell
(You put me in the deep freeze)
(Oh baby don't you leave me)
(Stone... Cold, your leavin' me cold)
Stone Cold... I thought I knew you so well
Stone Cold... Can't break away from your spell

Kill the King:	
(Dio, Blackmore, Powell)

Danger, danger the queen's about to kill
There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill
Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king
Tear him down
Kill the king
Strike him down

Power, power it happens every day
Power, devour all along the way
Oh no, move me out of harm

Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king

Treason, treason, the specter looms again
Treason, treason, the realm is safe and then
Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the rainbow
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on

Kill the king

Kill the king
Got to take his crown

Strike him dead

He'll rule no more

Oh, kill

A Light in the Black:
(Dio, Blackmore)	
	
Can't forget his face
What a lonely place
Has he really let us go
All the time that's lost
What's the final cost
Will I really get away
All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star
Can't be believed it all
Did he really fall
What to do now I don't know

Something's calling me back
There's a light in the black
Am I ready to go
I'm coming home

Breathed the air before
Heard the thunder roar
Never knew it was for me
Always looking down
Lost and never found
Eyes that looked but not to see
All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star
Like an open door
That you've passed before
But you've never had the key

Something's calling me back
Like a light in the black
Am I ready to go
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
I'm going back to my home

I'm going home, home, home
I'm going home, home, home
I'm coming back
Won't forget his face
What a lonely place
Did he really let us go
All the time that's lost
What's the final cost
Will I really get away
All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star
Can't believe it all
Did he really fall
What to do now well I know

Something's calling me back
Like a light in the black
Yes I'm ready to go
I'm coming home, home

I'm on my way back home
I'm here to stay
Here I will stay
I'll stay, I'll stay

Since You Been Gone:
(Ballard)	
	
I get the same old dreams same time everynight
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup

These four wall are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone

So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around
too soon
You can't know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone

If you will come back
Baby, you know you'll never do wrong

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ever since you been gone

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it

Sixteenth Century Greensleeves:
(Dio, Blackmore)	
	
It's only been an hour
Since he locked her in the tower
The time has come
He must be undone
By the morning

Many times before
The tyrant's opened up the door
Then someone cries
Still we close our eyes
Not again

Meet me when the sun is in the western skies
The fighting must begin before another someone dies
Cross bows in the fire light
Greensleeves waving
Madman raving
Through the shattered night

Flames are getting higher
Make it leap unto the spire
Draw bright down
Cut it to the ground
We shall dance around the fire

No more night
We have seen the light
Let it shine on bright
Hang him higher

Catch the Rainbow:
(Dio, Blackmore)

When evening falls
She'll run to me
Like whispered dreams
Your eyes can't see
Soft and warm
She'll touch my face
A bed of straw
Against the lace

We believed we'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel
So bless me, come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn

We believed we'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel
So bless me, come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn
Come the dawn

Eyes of the World:
(Dio, Blackmore)	 
	 
I see the innocent victims
Fighting to get to his door
No chain of events
Can shackle him down
He's not there anymore
Evil moves, evil ways
with his back to the wall
evil mind looking down
Without seeing at all
You ain't got a lot to say
Judging by the things you do
If only you could see the tears of pain
In the eyes of the world

Dust to dust by the million
Broken dreams in the ground
Aching hearts with the half dreams of hope
When their spirits are down
Evil takes, evil kills
With no shame or concern
Killing me, killing you
Watch the end of the burn
Maybe you don't understand
We don't need you anymore
If only you could see the tears of pain
In the eyes of the world

And damn the name of religion
For the hate in our soul
For the blind
and the sick in the heart
War has taken it's toll
Evil moves, evil ways
With his back to the wall
Evil mind, looking down
Without seeing at all
Eyes of the world
Don't wanna, don't wanna cry no more
Eyes of the world
In the eyes
Eyes of the world
You ain't got a lot to say
Eyes of the world
Why's it have to be this way
Eyes of the world
Oh
Eyes of the world
We don't need you anymore
Eyes of the world
If only you could feel the tears of pain
In the eyes of the world

Spotlight Kid:
(Blackmore, Glover)	 
	 
You don't know what's happening, you want to go home
but there's nowhere to hide
you walk out on stage, your first time alone
the crowd's going wild
and you feel so alive
you could stand up and take this all night
they love you but you're in love with the spotlight
you're the spotlight kid

Jokers and women they hang 'round your door
they're all part of the scene
just like a junkie you've got to have more
it's a pleasure machine
and you fly every DAY
but the dressing room mirror don't lie
they love you but you're in love with the spotlight
you're the spotlight kid

Your audience died, faded away
leaving you on the stage
it's been so many years since that first matinee
it seems like an age
encore one more time

for the ghosts of the past in your mind
they love you but you're in love with the spotlight
you're the spotlight kid
you're living in a dream
you're the spotlight kid
you're in love with the spotlight

Tearin' Out My Heart:

First time I saw your face
By your side was the only place
That I would wanna be
Sometimes and I don't know why
Love can come or it can pass you by
Now you take all the love you gave to me
(You take it from me)
You're tearin' out my heart
Oh -

Never thought I'd see the day
You would throw my love away
And oh... it's killing me
One thing you'll never know
How it hurts to let you go...
As you turn and walk away from me...
(Walk away)
You're tearin' out me heart
Feel like I been ripped apart
You're tearin' out my heart...

Daybreaks, I try to be free
But your memory is haunting me
Oh - there's nothing I can do
All alone in the candlelight
I see your face again tonight
And I feel all the emptiness without you
(Without you) tearin' out my heart
Oh, I feel like I been ripped apart
Tearin' out my heart...
Whoa... my heart

Rainbow Eyes:
	 
She's been gone since yesterday
Oh I didn't care
Never cared for yesterdays
Fancies in the air

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes

Love should be a simple blend
A whispering on the shore
No clever words you can't defend
They lead to never more

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes

Summer nights are colder now
They've taken down the fair
And all the lights have died somehow
Or were they ever there

No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes

Uuuuh, uuh

I surrender to your heart BABE

Mistreated:
(David Coverdale, Blackmore)	 

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have.

I've been lonely, I've been cold.
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.

I've been losing my mind.

Gates of Babylon:
(Dio, Blackmore)	 

Look away from the sea
I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me
A chase with the wind

Move closer to me
I can make you anyone
I think you're ready to see
The gates to babylon
The power of what has been before
Rises to trap you within
A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more
A city of heavenly sin
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away
Oh gates of babylon

You can see but you're blind
Someone turned the sun around
But you can see in your mind
The gates of babylon
You're riding the endless caravan
Bonded and sold as a slave
A saber dance removing all the veils
Getting as good as you gave
A saber dance removing all the veils
Getting as good as you gave
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away

Look away from the sea
I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me
A chase with the wind

Move closer to me
I can make you anyone
I think you're ready to see
The gates of babylon

The power of what has been before
Rises to trap you within
A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more
A city of heavenly sin
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away
Black gates of babylon

The devil is me
And I'm holding the key
To the gates of sweet hell
Babylon

Can't Happen Here:
(Blackmore, Glover)

Come on, Come on
Contaminated fish and micro chips
Huge supertankers on Arabian trips
Oily propaganda from the leaders' lips
All about the future
there's people over here, people over there
everybody's looking for a little more air
crossing others borders just to take their share
heading for the future

and we're so abused, and we're so confused
it's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse
can't happen here, can't happen here
all that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here

Supersonic planes for a holiday boom
Rio de Janeiro in an afternoon
people out of work but there's people on the moon
looking for the future
concrete racetracks nationwide
juggernauts all carving up the countryside
cars by the million on a one way ride
using up the future

and we're so abused, and we're so confused
it's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse
can't happen here, can't happen here
all that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here

Satellites spying for the CIA
the KGB and the men in red
wonder if I'm gonna see another day
somewhere in the future
We got everything we need for a peaceful time
take what you want but you can't take mine
everybody's living on the Siegfried Line
worried 'bout the future
and we're so abused, and we're so confused
it's so easy to believe that someone's gonna light it
easy to believe someone's gonna light the fuse
can't happen here, can't happen here
all that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here can it?

Starstruck:
(Dio, Blackmore)	 
	 
If I'm high on a hill
She will still be looking down at me
What does she see
That brings her closer every day to my heart
If I'm away from home
And think I'm all alone
She's there, somewhere
I look around to see
And looking back at me
She's there, beware
Creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before
And I know it can mean that

The lady's starstruck she's nothing but bad luck
The lady's starstruck running after me
The lady's starstruck she's nothing but bad luck, yeah, yeah

I could fly to the moon
But she'd soon find a way to be there
I never knew for a while
That a smile made 'em really care
She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hooked, one look
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs
But not me, 'cause I see
She's creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before and I know it can mean that

The lady's starstruck she's nothing but bad luck
The lady's starstruck running after me
The lady's starstruck she's nothing but bad luck, yeah, yeah

It used to be a game
Now I can't repeat my name at all
She seems to believe that
I never can refuse her call
She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hooked, one look
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs
But not me, 'cause I see
She's creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before and I know it can mean that

The lady's starstruck she's nothing but bad luck
The lady's starstruck running after me
The lady's starstruck she's nothing but bad luck, yeah, yeah

And back of a tree
I'm looking back at me
Blind and off my state
I've just got to beware
The lady's starstruck
Yes, she's bad luck, bad luck

Can't Let You Go:	
(Turner, Blackmore, Intro-Rosenthal)	  
	 
And I can't let you go, even though it's over
I just can't let you go
I know your love is growing colder

One look in my eyes and you'll realize
You got my heart in your hands
Won't you let me know somethin' more
Where did we go wrong, girl?

I don't wanna fight
All I wanna do is try and understand, yeah
I'm reaching out for you, babe, what can I do?
I've been holding on so long

I don't wanna live a lie
But I don't wanna say, "Goodbye"
I can't let you go, even though it's over
I just can't let you go
I know your love is growing colder
And I can't let you go, even though it's over

I don't wanna live a lie
But I don't wanna say, "Goodbye"
I want you by my side
And I can't let you go, even though it's over
I just can't let you go
I feel your love growing colder

And I can't let you go, even though it's over
I just can't let you go
Feel your love is growing colder

Don't go
Though I know it's over
I just can't let you go

Desperate Heart:

Yesterday you were here by my side
Nothing to prove and nothing left to hide
You promised me there would be no goodbye
But now I find another set of lies
Babe you must be crazy
How could you be so blind
Why would you deceive me
Now you're saying that you're leaving me behind
So strong I'm not gonna run away
Want you to know that I'm gonna break through
How long can I go on this way
There's nothing I can do

Desperate heart think you better hold out
Torn apart I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality
Did my best did the best that I could
It's all been wasted just misunderstood
You keep on talking
Your words are sounding so smoothe
Why don't you say it
You just want to cut me loose
Oh don't say that you love me
Don't wont to hear that you tried
Oh don't tell me that you need me
Don't want to hear none of your alibis
So strong I'm not gonna run away
Want you to know that I'm gonna break through
How long can I go on this way
There's nothing I can do

Desperate heart think you better hold out
Torn apart I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality

So strong I'm not gonna run away
Want you to know that I'm gonna break through
How long can I go on this way
Tell me what can I do
Nothing I can do

Desperate heart think you better hold out
Torn apart I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality

Desperate heart think you better hold out
Torn apart I was left to bleed
Don't start feeling you were sold out
Now you better face reality

Street of Dreams:  
	 
I heard the sound of voices in the night
Spellbound there was someone calling
I looked around no one was in sight
Pulled down I just kept on falling
I've seen this place before
You were standing by my side
I've seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I want it to be
I know it's a mystery

Do you remember me on a street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams

There you stood a distant memory
So good like we never parted
Said to myself I knew you'd set me free
And here we are right back where we started
Something's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now I know I see what I want it to be
But it's still a mystery

Do you remember me on the street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
You are on every face I see
On the street of dreams

SOLO

Tell me have you always been
On the street of dreams
Will we ever meet again my friend
Do you know just what it meand to be
On the street of dreams
Never know just who you'll see do ya
On the street of dreams
You can be who you want to be oh yeah
I can hear you calling me
I can feel you haunting me
Haunting me
