Play Yard Blues

"Let It Shine"
Everything is good now, everything is fine
searching for a feeling, way down on the line
Everything is working, every time I need you
going with the flow, girl, to crash and I’ll burn
I want mine, so let it shine
even if it costs me all of my time
If you can hear crystal clear
even if you leave me, just let it shine
Just let it shine
Everything’s groovy, now playing for a purpose
I’m playing my guitar, that’s all I wanna do
I want mine, so let it shine
even if it costs me all of my time
If you can hear crystal clear
even if you leave me, just let it shine
Just let it shine, just let it shine
I will survive, I’ve come this far
Cant’s say I’ve found an easy way (find the easy way)
I refuse to surrender, because reason I can’t deny
Wasted visions, use your illusion
catch the emotion, way down the line
Everything is moving, I’m playing my guitar
like a shooting star, lighting up the sky
I want mine, so let it shine
even if it costs me all of my time
If you can hear crystal clear
even if you leave me, just let it shine
just let it shine, oh yeah, just let it shine

"Red Light Green High"
Sun will be shining, I will be leaving
Life will begin from above
I started dreaming deepest of feelings
Sky’s getting cloudy and cold
I’m going down, I can hear the sound
I’m back on the ground, red light green high, going down
I have to find it, the place I remember
Someone is calling for me
Soon I will be gone, I hope I won’t be long
I’m high as I should be, red light, green high, going down
Red light, green high, going down…
Red light, green high, going down

"It's Only Money"
Don’t believe in love, you don’t believe in hate
you put your money in the bank
It’s the only way to save you wanna, all right
You try to make a buck, but you haven’t made a penny
You need a little luck, but you know you won’t get any you want
It’s only money, it’s only money, it’s only money
You don’t believe in God, you don’t believe in glory
got a brother in the clinic, tell the same kind of story (kind of story)
If you had another life, you know what would be waiting
If you had another soul, you could sell it all to Satan you want
It’s only money, it’s only money, it’s only money… Oh yeah, oh yeah…
You don’t believe in war, you don’t believe in Jesus
got a sister in New York, she knows how she pleases
Walking the streets, on south side of the city
try to make ends meet, isn’t that a pity for money?
It’s only money, it’s only money, it’s only money… all right

"Got My Eyes on You"
You really got something going, you really got a hold on me
Boil it down to perfection, seem to come naturally
You’re kicking my heart in motion, everytime you walk in view
You trigger that sweet emotion, I can’t get over you
Come take this trip with me
I got my eyes on you, anything you want me to
Anything to make you see, come on and lay your love on me
You really got my senses reeling, you can make a grown man cry
Girl, I wanna trust the feeling, yeah, I wanna testify
Flames are getting higher and higher, I could feel it from the start
I just wanna build a fire, with every beat of my heart
Come do this thing with me
I got my eyes on you, anything you want me to
Anything to make you see, come on and lay your love on me
I got my eyes on you, anything you want me to
Anything to make you see, come on and lay your love on me
I got my eyes on you, anything you want me to
Anything to make you see, come on and lay your love on me
I got my eyes on you, anything you want me to
Anything to make you see, come on and lay your love on me
Oh yeah, lay your love on me, lay your love on me

"When Darkness Falls"
Now I know I’m falling apart, I cannot sleep at night
I was blind, a fool from the start, but I think it’s gonna be all right
I climb a mountain, I travel and fall, If I need some help I give you a call
Across the Ocean and over the fields, pull me over, put a spell on me
When darkness falls I feel all right, when the sun goes down we’ll dance all night
When darkness falls I feel alive, there is a reason to satisfy your soul
I’m going slow
Every time I try to run away, the storm is coming closer
I will leave on a rainy day, and I know it’s gonna be all right
Across all Nations I travel alone, my journey is here, I’m coming home
Goodbye, Rome, it’s time to leave, pull me over, put a spell on me
When darkness falls I feel all right, when the sun goes down we’ll dance all night
When darkness falls I feel alive, there is a reason to satisfy your soul
I’m going slow
Across all Nations I travel alone, my journey is here, I’m coming home
When darkness falls I feel all right, when the sun goes down we’ll dance all night
When darkness falls I feel alive, there is a reason to satisfy your soul
(When darkness falls) your soul…

"Over and Done"
You have to understand the reason why I have to leave you behind
I’m trapped in this world of confusion, but I ain’t gonna loose my mind
I ain’t gonna feel no sorrow, for the things I’ve said and done
So give me one good reason, why I should be hanging around
You push me to the limit, baby, stop wasting my time
Now it’s over and done, now it’s over and done, yeah, yeah…
Now you keep on knocking on my door, why won’t you leave me alone
Why you still begging for more, don’t you know you’re in a danger zone
Why can’t you find a solution, ’cause we ain’t gonna be no more
Now you’re running into trouble, like so many times before
You push me to the limit, baby, look what you’ve become
Now it’s over and done
When the sun goes down, and the night will show you the meaning
’cause the time has come, now it’s over and done
Over and done, yeah, yeah, hey, all right…

"Ditch Queen"
All right
Ditch queen, she’s a danger scene, maybe just seventeen
She moves like something unreal, she thrieves on her sense of feel
She thinks she’s lady luck
She’s a ditch queen, and she likes to follow me
Well, look at those eyes, like a pussy cat
She’ll eat you alive, she’s love that
Well, watch out specially, wait and see
Give her one inch, you know she takes the whole thing in
Ditch queen, she’s a danger scene
She knows all of your wildest dreams
She’s painted with Maybelline, decked out like you’ve never seen
You know she likes to rock, she’s a ditch queen
And she loves my Continental
For a sniff of cocaine, she’ll do anything
and she knows where we’re staying, at the Holiday Inn
Well, she knows she doesn’t need to speak to impress you
She knows it ain’ther mind that’s deep
She, she’s so deep… She, she’s so deep… all right
You know she loves to roll, she’s a ditch queen
and she sure has the dope to know, she’s gonna show you the ditch
She’s a ditch queen, she’s a careful and distant lady
She’s got secrets, they just won’t wait
That’s the mistery she’s like you to penetrate
She, she’s so deep… She, she’s so deep… all right
Ditch queen, she’s a danger scene, ditch queen, just seventeen
Ditch queen, she’s a danger scene, ditch queen, full of Maybelline
Oh, she’s a ditch queen, oh yeah a ditch queen… All right, she’s a ditch queen

"Travel in the Dark"
Travel in the dark, can’t see a thing… Travel in the dark
Travel in the dark, can’t see a thing… Travel in the dark
What you gonna do when you can’t seem to understand
How you gonna feel when your woman with another man
Travel in the dark, can’t see a thing… Travel in the dark
Travel in the dark, can’t see a thing… Travel in the dark
What makes you think that you ever gonna understand
What’s going on in the mind of another man
Travel in the dark, can’t see a thing… Travel in the dark
What you gonna do when you can’t seem to understand
How you gonna feel when your woman with another man

"Born Again"
Something’s ’bout to take me over, just about to reel me in
Every night I shake and shiver, how was it you crawled under my skin
I’m going fast, breaking down, I built my world around you
I won’t look back, pushing through, can’t waste my whole life on you
How long did you lie to me, bittersweet this misery
I was blind, now I can see, on the count of ten I’m born again
Girl, you used to feel my head with your tricks and poison pen
Now I can’t recall the reasons I could never get enough
Too far gone, loosing ground, I built my world around you
I can’t go back, crashing through, can’t waste my whole life on you
How long did you lie to me, bittersweet this misery
I was blind, now I can see, on the count of ten I’m born again
How long did you lie to me, bittersweet this misery
I was blind, now I can see, on the count of ten I’m born again, born again
