Jailbreak

there was a friend of mine on murder
and the judge's gavel fell
jury found him guilty
gave him sixteen years in hell
he said
I ain't spendin' my life here
I ain't livin' alone
ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and headin' home
gonna make a jailbreak
and I'm lookin' towards the sky
I'm gonna make a jailbreak
how I wish that I could fly
all in the name of liberty
all in the name of liberty
got to be free
(jailbreak) let me out of here
(jailbreak) sixteen years
(jailbreak) had more than I can take
(jailbreak)

he said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
by another man
she was down and he was up
had a gun in his hand
bullets started flying everywhere
and people started to scream
big man lying on the ground
with the hole in his body where his life had been
but it was all in the name of liberty
all in the name of liberty
I got to be free
(jailbreak)
(jailbreak) I got to break
out of here

heartbeats, they were racin'
freedom, he was chasin'
spotlights
sirens
rifles
firin'
but he made it out

with a bullet in his back

(jailbreak)

You Ain't Got A Hold On Me

you can roll me round your finger
you can roll me if I'm blind
you can roll me tally ho
I'm the easy rolling kind
but don't think I'm facing down hill
cause soon you'll see
you'll lose your grip and slip
cause you ain't got a hold on me

you ain't got a hold on me
you ain't got a hold on me
why don't you let me be
cause you ain't got a hold on me

you can take me to your bedroom
you can take me to your heart
you can take me to a climax
I won't fall apart
but don't count on me giving it
all back to you
just because I'm hooked on living
doesn't mean I'm hooked on you

you ain't got a hold on me
you ain't got a hold on me
why don't you let me be
no, no, you ain't got a hold on me
let me be

you ain't got a hold on me
you ain't got a hold on me
why don't you just let me be
cause you ain't got a hold on me
you ain't got a hold on me
you ain't got a hold on me
you
ain't got a hold on me

you ain't got a hold on me
ain't got a hold on me
ain't got a hold on me
ain't got a hold on me
ain't got a hold on me

Show Business

you learn to sing
you learn to play
why don't the business man
ever learn to pay
that's show business, show business
show business that's the way it goes
you play in halls
you play in bars
you're climbing walls
chasing stars
that's show business, show business
show business that's the way it goes

you pay the man
you pay your dues
when it's all gone
you sing the blues
that's show business, show business
show business that's the way it goes
you wanna roll
you wanna rock
you find it hard
if your guitar's in hock
that's show business, show business
show business, that's the way it goes

you're smoking butts
they smoke cigars
you drown in debt
they drown in bars
that's show business, show business
show business that's the way it goes
you pull a chick
take her home
no use man you're worn out to the bone
that's show business, show business
show business that's the way it goes

that's show business, show business
that's show business, show business
show business that's the way it goes
ya know what I mean

Soul Stripper

well I met her in the garden
underneath that old apple tree
sitting with a handful of flowers
looking as cool as can be
we talked away a couple of hours
then she laid her hand on my lap
oh I thought I got to be dreaming
I didn't know I feel in her trap

then she made me say things I didn't want to say
then she made me play games I didn't want to play
she was a soul stripper
took my heart
she was a soul stripper
and tore me apart

she started moving nice and easy
slowly getting near to my spine
killing off each last little feeling
everyone she could find
and when she had me hollow and naked
that's when she put me down
pulled out a knife and flashed it before me
stuck it in and turned it around

then she made me say things I didn't want to say
then she made me play games I didn't want to play
she was a soul stripper
she took my heart
was a soul stripper
tore me apart

soul stripper
soul stripper
you're a soul stripper
soul stripper
soul stripper
soul stripper
took out my heart and tore it apart

you're a soul stripper
soul stripper
soul stripper
