Don’t Wait
Don’t wait / don’t hesitate / you might find out when it’s too late / freedom is a notion / but that don’t mean you’re free /so come with me / won'tcha come with me / don’tcha wait / take a chance / don’t wait on circumstance / it’s never completely right / but you don’t have to fight it tonight / how is tonight? / CHORUS: I know your heart has been dragged on the floor / but sometimes it takes just a couple of falls before, before // Don’t you wait / I see you there / In your thinking chair / you're coming up with reasons / why you don't believe him / is that fair /that isn’t fair /open up / i know you hear me / when i’m knocking on your door /come on out the house / we will forget about / what came before / came before / CHORUS // i’d better wait / i’d better slow down / she will come around / all good things in time / from the seed to the vine / and that’s fine / that’s just fine / CHORUS //

BROTHER
Brother / what a mess / this world of bitterness / lookin' around at this contest / wonderin' how I compare to the rest / I fought my best / and I've come up empty / it's not how it's meant to be // Brother / I've lost my cool / in this jealous inner duel / between who I am / where I wanna be / spinnin' tails / endlessly / but life is not just a tale about me / it's not how it's meant to be / CHORUS: Well I've laid my gun on the table / I've got nothing to hide anymore / love come and find me if you're able / and take the chains I put up on my door // Brother / let's try again / and let a little light in / ‘cause my heart beats / just like yours / keepin' my dream and plotting my course / but what can we do but follow faithfully? / It's just how it's meant to be //

DANGEROUS
You’re dangerous / you're making me weak / all tied up / and on my knees / you’re dangerous / I don't know what you've planned / but i'll submit / to your demands // I'm acting wild / like a lovesick child / in your cool company / I try to hide / my delicate side / but you're running me / you're running me // You’re dangerous / I try to put you down / but like an alley cat / you come back around / you’re dangerous / I know you'll drop me fast / when he gets home / because he got the cash // It's hard to trust / is it greed or lust / or just something you need / can't give you up / like an opiate / and it's draining me / it's draining me // Youre dangerous / It’s in my blood / you’re dangerous / like a loaded gun / you’re dangerous / you think you know me / but I got sides you have not seen / you’re dangerous //

GOLD OR LEAD
Seems like I'm treading water / since I lost touch with you / I'm still looking for an anchor / something I can hold onto / it's not that I can blame you / we all gotta survive / but it hurt that I couldn't please you / with things that money can't buy / sometimes it's like the devil's at my neck, saying / CHORUS: Gold or lead / which will you choose / pick your poison / you're bound to lose / we're all throwing something away / living each day // Yes you're going to stay with that man / you're going to try and love him / the best that you can / I know he don't see you / the way I do / is it worth it to you? / I'm still out on the road / one night stands and dives / lights and microphones / keeping this dream alive / but sometime's it's like the devil's at my neck, saying / CHORUS // You'll never catch me driftin' / ya gotta keep moving or die / and I'll never sell my freedom / I've got my eye on the prize / And I would fight to the death / CHORUS //

Charlotte
Charlotte was an actress / she learned when she was young / how to keep expression from her face / her mamma left her with an atlas / said be careful where you run / remember baby life is a game that you play / but it ain't always fair / and it's not safe / the vultures never quit // Charlotte was a loner / she didn't need your help / just a temporary place to stay / and if you get too close / she might turn to someone else / and you'll wonder how you let her get away /
within / always was a current / rushing / a force beyond control / CHORUS: She could play / the part of an angel / depending on the day / depending on the day / she could sing / make you believe her / that was just her way / that was just her way // He tried so hard to reach her / but it just wouldn't take / 'cause promises never meant that much / she learned hard long ago / it's disappointing / to reach for things you know you shouldn't touch / she played / the part of his lover / but there's no way / she'd ever let him in / CHORUS //

SHE
She came from the land of the cotton / a land that was nearly forgotten by everyone / and she worked and she slaved so hard / a big old field was her back yard in the Delta sun / CHORUS: Oh, but she sure could sing / oh, she sure could sing // He looked down and he took a little pity / the whole town swore he decided / he'd help her some / and he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty / deep inside his heart he knew / she was the only one / CHORUS // BRIDGE: She had faith, she had believing / she led all the people together in singing / she prayed every night to the lord up above / Hallelujah, hallelujah // They used to walk singing songs by the river / even when she knew for sure / she had to go away / and she never knew what her life had to give her / and never had to worry about it / for one single day / CHORUS //

THIS TIME IT’S DIFFERENT
Vegas wasn't build on winners, baby / but I'll take my chance with you / take a midnight ride on the I-15 on the first day of June / let's bet the farm / let's go for bust / though I've seen what love can do / I've been set up and I've been mislead / and I've been lied to / CHORUS: But this time it's different / than it was with the others / than any other lover / this time it’s different // We’ll take our ticket / stand in line / at the plush hotel with the neon sign / the justice of the blues / simply the king / he gonna fit you temporary with a plastic ring / we'll get our picture taken in a pink Cadillac / then we’ll have a drink and head out the back / I've been in love before / but this ain't the same / say wait a minute / what's your name? / CHORUS: This time you’re different / than any other lover / than your dear old mother / this time you’re different / this time I'm different / than I was with the others / than my deadbeat father / this time I’m different // This is the one / but that’s easy to say / like believing in God when things are going my way / I’ve never been one to take my time / I’ve always been a sucker for the thrill of the high / CHORUS: But you’re different / than any other lover / than your dear old mother / this time you’re different / this time I'm different / than I was with the others / than my deadbeat father / this time I’m different / this time it's different / this time it's different / this time I’m different //

GONE IN A FLASH
And it was gone in a flash / looking back / I can almost taste it / and I just woke up / from a decade of lust / that I wasted / CHORUS: You could call it insane / when you're drawn to the flame / but at least you're awake / for a moment / just one taste / you'll be spinnin' in it's wake / it might be more than you can take / but you like it // And now my friends on the scene / they don't call / they don't wonder / and that romantic sheen / will make you believe / that lies are better / CHORUS: You could call it insane / when you're drawn to the flame / but at least you're awake / for a moment / just a little taste / you'll be spinnin' in it's wake / it might be more than you can take / but you want it / now // BRIDGE: I'm frozen / barely broken / bare bones / wide open / I'm frozen / barely broken / bare bones / wide open // CHORUS: You could call it insane / when you're drawn to the flame / but at least you're awake / for a moment / just a little taste / you'll be spinnin' in it's wake / it might be more than you can take / but you want it //
