The Long Run Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out till the break of day
Oh, that didn't get it
It was high time I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, I did some damage
I know it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely
Till I found you
[Chorus 1]
You can go the distance
We'll find out
In the long run (In the long run)
We can handle some resistance
If our love is a strong one (Is a strong one)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
People talking about us
They got nothin' else to do
When it all comes down
We will still come through
[Chorus 2]
In the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you
It's a long run
[Verse 2]
You know I don't understand
Why you don't treat yourself better
Do the crazy things that you do
Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby
Couldn't hold a candle to you
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think you had to, honey?
[Chorus 3]
Who is gonna make it?
We'll find out
In the long run (In the long run)
I know we can take it
If our love is a strong one (Is a strong one)
[Pre-Chorus 4]
Well, we're scared
But we ain't shakin'
Kinda bent
But we ain't breakin'
[Chorus 4]
In the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you
It's a long run
In the long run
In the long run
[Outro]
Gonna find out, ooh fa-fa-fa-find out
Long-long-long-long, long-long-long-long
Ooh, run-run-run, baby, run-run, baby
Long, long, long, long
I Canât Tell You Why Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look at us, baby, up all night
Tearing our love apart
Aren't we the same two people who live
Through years in the dark? Ahh-ah
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
[Chorus 1]
And I can't tell you why
[Verse 2]
When we get crazy, it just ain't right
(Try to keep your head, little girl)
Girl, I get lonely, too
You don't have to worry, just hold on tight
(Don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause I love you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
[Chorus 2]
And I can't tell you why
No, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
[Guitar Solo]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
[Chorus 3]
And I can't tell you why
No, no baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
[Outro Guitar Solo]
In the City Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somewhere out on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be something better
But there's nowhere else in sight
[Verse 2]
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay
[Chorus]
In the city (oh, oh)
In the city (oh, ohhh)
[Verse 3]
I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows and life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when you fall
[Verse 4]
Somewhere out on that horizon
Far away from the neon sky
I know there must be something better
And I can't stay another night
[Chorus]
In the city (oh, oh)
In the city (oh, ohhh)
[Outro]
In the city
In the city
In the city (oh, ohhh)
The Disco Strangler Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Looking for the good life
Dressed to kill
She don't have to worry
'Cause there's always someone else who will
Loose and loaded every night
Dancing underneath the flashing light saying
"Look at me, baby, look at me
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm somebody!"
Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
[Verse 2]
He's been around here all along, baby
Been waiting for his time to come
You looking for attention, darling
He will surely give you some
He's the crimson in your face du jour
The fiddler in your darkest night
He's the melody without a cure
And Rome is burning but that's alright
Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
King of Hollywood Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, he sits up there on his leatherette
Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn't had yet
When he thinks he wants a closer look
He gets out his little black telephone book
He's calling, calling, calling
He's calling, calling, calling
He's calling, calling, calling
He's calling
[Verse 2]
Come sit down here beside me, honey
Let's have a little heart to heart
Now look at me and tell me, darling
How badly do you want this part?
Are you willing to sacrifice?
And are you willing to be real nice?
All your talent and my good taste
I'd hate to see it go to waste
[Verse 3]
We gon' get you an apartment, honey
We gon' get you a car
(Yeah, we're going to take care of you, darling)
We gon' make you a movie star
For years I've seen 'em come and go
He says, "I've had 'em all, ya know."
I handled everything in my own way
I made 'em what they are today
{Guitar Solo 1}
[Verse 4]
After 'while nothing was pretty
After 'while everything got lost
Still, his Jacuzzi runneth over
Still he just couldn't get off
He's just another power junky
Just another silk scarf monkey
You'd know it if you saw his stuff
The man just isn't big enough
{Guitar Solo 2}
Heartache Tonight Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothin' we can do
[Verse 2]
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
Make it come out right
[Chorus]
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Lord, I know
[Verse 3]
Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
But nobody wants to go home now
There's too much goin' on
[Verse 4]
This night is gonna last forever
Last all, last all summer long
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song
[Chorus]
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Lord, I know
[Bridge 1]
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
The moon's shinin' bright
So turn out the light and we'll get it right
[Chorus]
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Heartache, baby
{Instrumental Bridge}
[Verse 1]
Somebody's gonna hurt someone (somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothin' we can do (everybody)
[Verse 2]
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
To make it come out right
[Chorus]
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Let's go
[Bridge 2]
We can beat around the bushes
We can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin' lot
But either way
[Chorus]
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know (Lord, I know)
There'll be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Woo-woo!
[Outro]
(Break my heart, baby)
Those Shoes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell us what you're gonna do tonight to mama
There must be someplace you can go
In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama
There must be someone you know
God knows you're looking good enough
But you're so smooth and the world's so rough
You might have something to lose
Oh no, pretty mama
What you gonna do in those shoes?
[Verse 2]
Got those pretty little straps around your ankles
Got those shiny little chains around your heart
You got to have your independence
But you don't know just where to start
Desperation in the singles bars
An' all those jerkoffs in their fancy cars
You can't believe your reviews
Oh no, you can't do that
Once you started wearing those shoes
{Guitar Solo}
[Bridge]
They're looking at you, leaning on you
Tell you anything you wanna hear
They give you tablets of love
They're waiting for you
Got to score you
Handy with a shovel and so sincere
Ooh, they got the kid glove
You just want someone to talk to
They just wanna get their hands on you
You get whatever you choose
Oh, no, you can't do that
Once you started wearing those shoes
Oh, no, you can't do that
Once you started wearing those shoes
(Shoes)
Teenage Jail Lyrics
[Verse 1: Glenn Frey]
Stare out the window
You can't make the time go
You don't even know why you're here
Wait for the weekend to go off the deep end
And make everything disappear
[Verse 2: Don Henley]
You're lost in a teenage jail
So young and so vicious and so frail
Where something is always for sale
You're lost in a teenage jail
[Verse 3: Glenn Frey & Don Henley]
You're not like your mothers (not like your mother!)
You're not like the others (not like the other!)
You're not quite like anyone else (You're not quite like anyone else, no, no)
They don't even know you
Got nothing to show you
So get something good for yourself
{Synthesizer Solo}
{Guitar Solo}
The Greeks Donât Want No Freaks Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There was beer all over the dance floor
And the band was playing rhythm and blues
You got down and did the gator and half an hour later
You were barfing all over your girlfriend's shoes
[Chorus 1]
But the Greeks don't want no freaks
The Greeks don't want no freaks
Just put a little smile on them rosy cheeks
Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks
(Gator!!)
(Yeah, woooo.... woo. Aaow!)
[Verse 2]
She was the pride and the passion of Dixie
She did exactly what her daddy had planned
She was the perfect little sister until somebody missed her
And they found her in the bushes with the boys in the band
[Chorus 2]
But the Greeks don't want no freaks
No, the Greeks don't want no freaks
So put a great big smile on them rosy cheeks
Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks
No, the Greeks don't want no freaks
Said, the Greeks don't want no freaks
Just put that monster smile on them rosy cheeks
Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks
No, the Greeks don't want no freaks
Ahhaaahh....
The Sad Café Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café
Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café
[Chorus]
Oh, expecting to fly
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
[Verse 2]
Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café
{Acoustic Solo}
[Bridge]
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and lets the rest go free
[Verse 3]
Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all
No use in asking why, it just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café
{Saxophone Solo}
