Burn Lyrics
[Verse 1 - David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes]
The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are saying the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
The city's ablaze, the town's on fire
The woman's flames are reaching higher
We were fools, we called her a liar
All I hear is
"Burn!"
[Verse 2 - David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Both]
I didn't believe she was the devil's sperm
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn"
"When I leave there's no return"
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shaking, we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear
"Burn!"
[Bridge - Glenn Hughes]
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time
[Instrumental Break: guitars 02:08-03:38]
[Bridge - Glenn Hughes]
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time
[Instrumental Break: keyboards 03:56-05:02]
[Verse 3 - David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Both]
The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are saying the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shaking, we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear
"Burn!"
[Instrumental Outro]
Might Just Take Your Life Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got more than I asked for
There isn't nothing I need
I took all till I had more
I'm always taking the lead
Old man shaking dice down on the street
Try'n to make a living somehow
But I'm really sure about getting things sorted out
And I'm getting ready right now
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't hold me
I have told you
[Chorus]
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
[Verse 2]
I've been called by many names
And all of them are bad
I can take it all the same
It's all I've ever had
I've got something that you can't get
But one thing you can see
Getting there isn't easy
But it sure was hard for me
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't hold me
I have told you
[Chorus]
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
[Verse 3]
Every time I take a look
There's someone close behind
They never used to make a pass
The things that crossed their minds
Now they tell me that it's all right
And they want to be my friend
They're riding on my back
When is it going to end?
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't hold me
I have told you
[Chorus]
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
[Organ Solo]
[Outro]
Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need
Lay Down, Stay Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't care if my lady's gone
As long as you give me just what I want
I've been losing my direction
Got to find a new connection
You have wasted the love I tasted
Now I'm really getting hungry more and more
Been a long time, had a bad sign
Tell me what am I fighting for?
[Chorus]
Let me know you feel it
You know I really need it
Keep on pushing for more
Lay down, stay down
I got something to find
There's one thing I really need
I'm going to tell you right now
Lay down, stay down
[Verse 2]
Looking for trouble, I guess that's right
When I was young I was taught to fight
It's been long gone since I had known
Now I'm heading for some more
[Chorus]
Let me know you feel it
You know I really need it
Keep on pushing for more
Lay down, stay down
I got something to find
There's one thing I really need
I'm going to tell you right now
Lay down, stay down
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Let me know you feel it
You know I really need it
Keep on pushing for more
Lay down, stay down
I got something to find
There's one thing I really need
I'm going to tell you right now
Lay down, stay down
Sail Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you're drifting on an empty ocean
With no wind to fill your sail
The future, your horizon
It's like searching for the holy grail
You feel there's no tomorrow
As you look into the water below
It's only your reflection
And you still haven't got no place to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Time will show
When, I don't know
[Chorus]
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it, steal, or borrow
I'll be there someday
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Oh woman, I keep returning
To sing the same old song
The story's been told, now I'm getting old
Tell me, where do I belong?
Feel like I'm going to surrender
Hard times I've had enough
If I could find a place to hide my face
I believe, I could get back up
[Pre-Chorus]
Time will show
When, I don't know
[Chorus]
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it, steal, or borrow
But I'll be there someday
Yeah, yeah
[Synth Solo]
[Chorus]
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it, steal, or borrow
But I'll be there someday
Yeah, yeah
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it, steal, or borrow
But I'll be there someday
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Guitar Solo Outro]
You Fool No One Lyrics
[Chorus]
You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone
So hard to see, you are taking your chances with me
If I find you with some other man, you know what I'm going to do
Better run if you see me coming, ah
[Verse]
Soon you will fall, making mistakes like before
When you tell me lies, I can see by the look in your eyes
If you think you're going to take me for granted
Chasing round with all you see, going to make you live to regret it, ah!
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone
So clear to see, you've had all your chances with me
You thought that you could take me for granted
But I couldn't take it no more, better run when you see me coming, ah
Whatâs Goinâ On Here Lyrics
[Verse 1: David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes]
Roll me over slowly, I've been drinking all night
Help me, make a move, I can't stand the light
Wake me, shake me, don't slam the door
I ain't been so bad, I just can't recall
[Chorus: David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes]
Spent the night chasing up a listed old flame
Lying on the floor, I can't remember her name
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here
What's going on here?
[Verse 2: David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes]
Went downtown, had a long way to go
How I got there, well I don't know
Found myself sitting in a West side bar
Tried to leave but I could not go far
[Chorus: David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes]
High class woman trying to give me a line
Should've left early when I felt so fine
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here
What's going on here?
[Instrumental Break 1:56-3:42]
[Verse 3: David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes]
When they closed up the bar, you know, they left me for dead
"I can't remember a thing", I said
Must have called the police to take me away
They said, "Forty days", now I've got to pay
[Chorus: David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes]
Spent the night chasing up a listed old flame
Lying on the floor, I can't remember my name
I can't get together while they're messing with me
Keep on looking around, tell me where can I be?
I can't stay here, there's something wrong here
What's going on here?
Mistreated Lyrics
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I've been mistreated, I've been abused
I've been looking for a woman, yeah, I've been confused
'Cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
I've been losing my mind
