New World Order

"Hold onto your hat sir," a man says in a bar
The world's looking kind of crazy from where we are
I sit in here behind my glass safe from the fuss
Aint nobody coming in here tryna change any of us
See the kids in the street wearin the new fashions
Walkin round in their sleep, automatic reactions
And I think it's kind of funny, I think it's kind of sad
Sometimes it makes me mad, sometimes I'm glad
That I am a child of a
New world order
We're in deep water
While the world's getting smaller
It's no wonder why we hunger
For love
That girl's so beautiful in that magazine
I wonder when was the last time she had some ice cream
And what about the boys with the toys and drugs and the girls the money
I wanna be a movie star where's my milk and honey
I am a child of a
New world order
We're in deep water
While the world's getting smaller
It's no wonder why we hunger
For love
All those good times all those bad times
All those times I am a child of a...

Only one

All the times I've been here in my mind
Here comes the part when I say a well rehearsed line
It's not that I want to, but that I need to
Show what's really on my heart
I wanna be the one
The only only one for you
I wanna be the one
The only only one for you
And you could be
The only one for me
All the girls in the world could have walked my way
But you're the one turns me on everything you say
I don't even know you, I know that I want you
Girl, you're all I really need
I wanna be the one
The only only one for you
I wanna be the one
The only only one for you
And you could be
The only one for me
Oh, you could be my angel
I could be your man
Baby I can
I can see it in the seasons
Fill it up with reasons
But I don't know why
My heart is high
And it only cries for you

Missing part
04:50

Rain is falling on my window pane
And I feel like I've been born again
I don't know where we're going
I don't know where we are
It's something only we know
Life's too short, you're too beautiful
Here's to me thinkin I'd seen it all
I don't care what they say
When I tell them I love you
It's something only we know
I wanna be your captain girl
And you just say the word
And I'll carry you home
Yeh I wanna be your body guard, back-up heart
I wanna be your missing part
Tell me that I'm not crazy
Tell me what we have is real in every way
I don't know where it ends
I don't know where it starts
It's something only we know
Chorus
Rain is fallin on my window pane
And I feel like I've been born again
I don't know where we're going
I don't know where we are, no no
It's something only we know

Leavin' anyway

I packed up my John Hiatt records
And I'm finishing up
I'm taking what rightfully belongs to me
And I'm leavin' at dusk
I made a bed a dozen times
And now my bed is full of nails
I'm not sure who I'm supposed to be
I'm not who I was when I was eighteen
I'm quite sure it's for the wrong reasons
Why I'm leavin' but I'm leavin' anyway
I could be your long lost lover
And you could lose me good
I can't fit my dreams inside
The house where the two of us stood
I made a bed a dozen times
And now my bed is full of nails
Chorus
Whoa it's a real good imagination
That's got me this far
Whoa it's a real good infatuation

That kind of lover

If you'll take me for just who I am
And never once try to change me into a better man
I don't want that kind of lover
If you'll let me go on with my head up in the clouds
Like a kid dreamin out loud
I don't want that kind of lover
Sometimes I'm like a train wreck walkin round
Sometimes I'm like a fast car slowin down
If you're tellin me that we'll have to work
Every day and night to love each other right
Yeh I want that kind of lover
If you think that I would be alright on my own
You could up and leave me and I would still be strong
Well I'm not that kind of lover
And if you think that I would forget what we have
Just because we got twenty years in the bank
Well I'm not that kind of lover
Sometimes I'm like a train wreck walkin round
Sometimes I'm like a fast car Slowin down
If you're tellin me that we'll have to work
Every day and night to love each other right
Yeh I want that kind of lover
We can grow together, grow as one
we'll be all we need
Made my mind up here and now
Look at us go, we're stealin the show
And I want that kind of lover

Wicked Kiss (Bonus)

Nobody knows where we're going tonight
There'll only know that we're gone when we're out of sight
They say the world's gone crazy
And we don't have much time
I've got all the time I need
To fall in love tonight
Send your love in my direction
And your arms after my affection
There's no way they're gonna find us
Besides, what's one wicked kiss
In a wicked world like this?
Tell me the things that you see when you close your eyes
I wanna know everything that makes you feel alive
They say the world's gone crazy
And we don't have much time
I've got all the time I need
To fall in love tonight
Chorus
If I told you we were gonna make it
And I put my hand out for you to take it
Give me something real
Give me something to feel
Chorus
