Bad Moon Rising
I see the bad moon arising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin’
I see bad times today

Don’t go around tonight
It’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes ablowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Don’t go around tonight
It’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

Don’t go around tonight
It’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

Don’t go around tonight
It’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

Rock & Roll
It's been a long time since I Rock and Rolled
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll
Oh let me get it back
let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from
Oh Lord
It's been a long time
been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes it has

It's been a long time since I spoke of love
Many many tears of a life with no love
Carry me back
carry me back
Carry me back, baby, where I come from
It's been a long time
been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Oh Lord
Making vows that just can't work right
Oh yea
Open your arms
open your arms,
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in
It's been a long time
been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

All Tomorrow's Parties
And What costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties

And where will she go and what shall she be
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties

And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning
A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
It's fine for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties

This Little Piggy
This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roast beef
And this little piggy had none
This piggy cried wee wee wee
All the way home home home
This piggy cried wee wee wee
All the way home home home
All the way home

Where oh where was the market
What'd the piggies call home
Who made the roast beef for the piggies
And how come they're crying all alone
This piggy cried wee wee wee
All the way home home home
This piggy cried wee wee wee
All the way home
All the way home home home
All the way home home home
All the way home home home

Barber, barber shave a pig
How many hairs does it take to make a wig?
Four and twenty should be enough
Give the barber a pinch of snuff

This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roast beef
And this little piggy had none
This little piggy cried and cried and cried
Wee wee wee all the way home
This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roast beef
And this little piggy had none
This little piggy cried and cried and cried
Wee wee wee
Wee wee wee
Wee wee wee all the way home

Wee wee wee all the way home

Wee wee wee all the way home

Tourniquet
I'm made of hair and bone and little teeth
And think I cannot speak
I come on like a crippled plaything
My spine is just a string
I wrapped our love in all this foil
Silver tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil
But flies will lay there eggs.

Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my head
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet

Prosthetic synthesis and butterfly
Sealed up with virgin stitch.
If it hurts baby please don't cry
Preserve my innocence

I never wanted it end this way
But flies will lay there eggs
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my head
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet

What I wanted
What I needed
I tried to get for me
Nothing wanted
Nothing needed
No one comes for free

Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my head
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
You never ever believed in me
You never ever believed
You never ever believed in me
You never ever believed

Wish You Were Here
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground. How we found the same old fears.
Wish you were here.

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground. How we found the same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Fire & Ice
Ooo, you're givin' me the fever tonight
I don't wanna give in
I'd be playin' with fire
You forget, I've seen you work before
Take 'em straight to the top
Leave 'em cryin' for more
I've seen you burn 'em before

Fire and Ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You'll just tear it apart

Movin' in for the kill tonight
You got every advantage when they put out the lights
It's not so pretty when it fades away
Cause it's just an illusion in this passion play
I've seen you burn 'em before

Fire and Ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You'll just tear it apart

So you think you got it all figured out
You're an expert in the field, without a doubt
But I know your methods inside and out
And I won't be takin' in by Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You'll just tear it apart

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice
