Night's On Fire

First Verse

Engines are going and the sirens blow
Red lights flash in the night
Dogs are howling and the fireflies glow
I?m running for my life

Chorus

Night?s on fire, night?s on fire
Feel the heat come down
Night?s on fire, night?s on fire
Nothing can put it out

Second Verse

She moves like lightning in the summertime
Turns the evening into day
Slides her way across the late night sky
And I can?t look away

Chorus

Night?s on fire, night?s on fire
Feel the heat come down
Night?s on fire, night?s on fire
Nothing can put it out

Bridge

Leave the old pictures hanging on the wall
Don?t try to save anything
Take no chances, house is gonna fall
She?s got all I need

Third Verse

And I remember when it hit the roof
Shook the concrete ground
I saw the light, the cold hard truth
Before I heard a sound

Chorus

Night?s on fire, night?s on fire
Feel the heat come down
Night?s on fire, night?s on fire
Nothing can put it out

FIRST VERSE

I tried to keep my head about it
I tried to keep my feet on the ground
No way to dance around it
She?s got me upside down

PRE-CHORUS

Losing hold of reality
I?m fading in and out
Keeps happening to me
Whenever she?s around

CHORUS

I love her like crazy
I?m out of my mind
I love her like crazy
I?m gone this time

SECOND VERSE

Feeling awful strange since I met her
Her kisses have made me insane
I don?t think I?m getting better
?Cause voices keep calling her name

PRE-CHORUS

Straightjacket won?t hold me
I?ll wiggle my way out
This love is lunacy
There can be no doubt

CHORUS

I love her like crazy
I?m out of my mind
I love her like crazy
I?m gone this time

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

THIRD VERSE

Talking to myself all morning
Laughing out loud with no reason to

PRE-CHORUS

If this madness don?t end soon
I don?t know what I?ll do
You can throw me in a rubber room
But I?ll bounce right back to you

CHORUS

I love her like crazy
I?m out of my mind
I love her like crazy
I?m gone this time

I love her like crazy
I love her like crazy

Couldn't Help It

First Verse

I couldn?t help it
The wind was at my back
I got the feeling someone meant
To put us on this track

I couldn?t help it
I found your hand in mine
Walking up the boulevard
In the bright sunshine

Chorus

It?s been in motion since the dawn of time
The latest spark from an old design
I couldn?t help it even if I tried
I couldn?t help it even if I tried

Second Verse

I couldn?t help it
I couldn?t look away
I didn?t know what you would do
Or what you might say

I couldn?t help it
Some things were meant to be
I don?t know whether I found you
Or you found me

Chorus

It?s been in motion since the dawn of time
The latest spark from an old design
I couldn?t help it even if I tried
I couldn?t help it even if I tried

Instrumental Break

Third Verse (Half of a verse)

I couldn?t help it
It was out of my hands
I can?t say how we made it here
But it wasn?t by chance

Chorus

It?s been in motion since the dawn of time
The latest spark from an old design
I couldn?t help it even if I tried
I couldn?t help it even if I tried

Smoke Over The Grove

Verse 1:

Shannon and I used to be content
We?d spend the hours walking
Talked about what this life meant
On the wooded paths of morning

The light?d come through the maples
Her pretty smile would show
Now those moments are just memories
And there?s smoke over the grove

Verse 2:

Wintertime would get so rough
The bridges all would freeze
But we kept each other warm enough
Till spring was on the breeze

We were lost between the leaves
But we found our way back home
But fire?s come and broke the peace
And there?s smoke over the grove

Bridge:

And I?m just waking from a long, long sleep
And we are riding horses every time I dream

Coda:

We were lost between the leaves
But we found our way back home
But fire?s come and broke the peace
And there?s smoke over the grove

FIRST VERSE

Well I?ve had enough of all this fighting
And I?ve seen enough of your new boy
And I?m cracking up girl, knocked down and out
But you act like nothing?s been tossed about

Our love is sinking like a lead balloon
But I won?t let my happiness turn blue
Underneath the summer stars with you
Looking up at what might be our last full moon

SECOND VERSE

Well my heart is empty, but my mind is full
With the senseless garbage that you tried to pull
So when you?re heading down that lone highway
Always remember that I?m OK


You think your life will be better when we?re through
But tomorrow you?ll be singing a new tune
Standing here with nothing left to do
Looking up at what might be our last full moon

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

THIRD VERSE

Fate pushed us together yesterday
And now we?re pulled apart in the same way
Together in a final rendezvous
Looking up at what might be our last full moon

Looking up at what might be our last full moon
Looking up at what might be our last full moon

Magnetic Field

First Verse

I?ve been down this road before
Always coming back for more
After all this time
I?m still pushed back into line

Second Verse

Call it fate or call it love
It?s all the same when the day is done
You?re beautiful beyond my words
No matter how my phrases turn

Chorus

I spin my wheels
In your magnetic field
Wearing armor and steel
In your magnetic field

Third Verse

I can?t hide it, that much I know
You pull me in when I let go
Of all the weight that keeps me down
Of all the stones on the ground

Chorus

I spin my wheels
In your magnetic field
Wearing armor and steel
In your magnetic field

Instrumental Break

Chorus

I spin my wheels
In your magnetic field
Wearing armor and steel
In your magnetic field
