Call of the Wild (conte/brewer/conte)

Call of the Wild (conte/brewer/conte)

well she rode all night from another shore

desire led the way

till she came to a place that she'd seen before

and a thousand dreams opened right in front of her face

and there's a tired little town in the bible belt

and a boy who yearns to run

and everybody held him down just as long as they could

till the day he took off like a shot from a gun sayin'

ain't never goin' home no more

there’s a voice I hear

ain't never goin' home no more

i hear the call of the wild

dontcha hang on me

this is the call of the wild

always gonna run free

and there's a cheap motel every other mile

across the great divide

and if the walls could talk you could hear the tales

of the lovers and thieves with the hunger inside

ain't never goin' home no more

call of the wild

dontcha hang on me

i hear the call of the wild

always gonna run free.

Hangin’ By a Thread (k. brewer/s. conte/d. grahame)

crack of dawn i’m lying on the floor

all last night you were scratching up my door

ya stalk me like an alley cat

feed you and youre coming back

tear me up till i’m too torn to mend

hangin’ by a thread

i’m coming apart

hangin’ by a thread

ya make it so hard

gimme sex till i’m next to dead

hangin’ by a thread

this affair could be the end of me

always something nasty up your sleeve

roll me till the sun comes up

honey ain’t that good enough

every morning i’m so worn and frayed

hangin’ by a thread

i’m coming apart

hangin’ by a thread

ya make it so hard

gimme sex till i’m next to dead

hangin’ by a thread

break me down like a ton of lead

my back is broke my bed’s a mess

honey you’re so merciless

now you gone and left me worn and frayed

don’t ya know ya got me

hangin’ by a thread

Jilted! (k.brewer/s.conte)

hanging round the hotel

toothbrush in her hand

waiting on a taxi

raving about the band

no sleep and check out time came

sooner than she planned

jilted! just a roll in the hay

jilted! and every hungry boy wants to hear you

say you’re gonna do it again

well she told me she was high class

told me she was his

but she she did not bat an eyelash

she was waiting for a kiss

ya shoulda known from jump street baby

it could all turn out like this

jilted! just a roll in the hay

jilted! and every hungry boy wants to hear you

say you’re gonna do it again

it’s all right saturday night

she’ll be back on her knees again

The Distance (k.brewer/s.conte)

well now you’re gone forever again

girl that’s no news to me

i blame myself for letting you in

to have you confuse me

guess i’ll never learn to play it smart

if i twist your arm you’ll break my heart

i can’t take the distance

you got me losing my persistance

i can’t waste emotion on love

that leaves me at the door

i’ve been banging on this concrete wall

now there’s a little too much resistance

and i can’t take the distance anymore

i tried so long to be what you want

but you don’t want me in your world

you think we’ll work it out in some restaurant

well i got my reservations girl

there’s no way to get my way with you

now you’re closing all the doors

that lead me through

i can’t take the distance

you got me losing my persistance

i can’t wait forever on love

that leaves me at the door

i’ve been banging on this concrete wall

now there’s a little too much resistance

and i can’t take the distance anymore

well now you’re gone forever again

meanwhile i’m dreaming

Romance on the Rocks (k.brewer/s.conte)

i’m only here cuz i got no place to stay

my baby slapped me slammed the door with my face

this funky dive is about to close

my heart’s screaming out for just one more

another sip

another slip

another fall from grace

so barkeep won’t you set me up again

romance on the rocks

i can’t shake this state i’m in

romance on the rocks

she tastes so fine

tonight she’s mine all mine

one more romance on the rocks

when i’m all messed up she never lets me down

but if i sink too low she just lets me drown

no kicking she goes down smooth

so wicked the way she tries to soothe

it’s such a sin

i’m wearing thin

she keeps me coming round

so barkeep won’t you set me up again

romance on the rocks

i can’t shake this state i’m in

romance on the rocks

she don’t think twice

putting me on ice

one more romance on the rocks

Hell’s Kitchen (k.brewer/s.conte/j.kent)

east side west side inside out

been around enough to know what it’s all about

every little street got its own kinda soul

some gonna rock ya some just roll

one face one place that’s calling my name

one sin draws me in like a moth to a flame

little piece of heaven calling me back

hell’s kitchen i like it like that

got my motor revving gotta cover my tracks

hell’s kitchen take me on back

something’s always cooking when i come across town

my heart starts pumping when i see it all going down

she got the kiss of death

she got the legs of doom

she could steal your breath

while she’s licking your wounds

little piece of heaven calling me back

hell’s kitchen i like it like that

got my motor revving gotta cover my tracks

hell’s kitchen take me on back

east side west side any way you turn

hang long enought ya all gonna burn

little piece of heaven calling me back

St. Jane’s Infirmary (brewer/conte/grahame)

deep in the heart of downtown nowhere

far from the arms of home

there in a door an angel waits

take ya in from the storm

under the broken neon sign

stutter a simple prayer

dear mother jane will take your confession

raise your glass to the air

every day it’s the same old grind

in this shithole town

but every night it’s the same old dive

that we all go down-

and we all go down

quickest way to heaven

yeah we all go down

st. Jane’s infirmary

now jane was the child of a preacherman

saved from a world of sin

long were the days she served her maker

now she serves us our gin

she says work is a knife in a young man’s heart

carving away his prime

sellin’ his soul to the highest bidder

for another nail in the pine

she says come children, come as you are

I’ll make ya feel all right

come children, I’ll give ya hope

under the neon light

and we all go down

for the same affliction

yeah we all go down

st. Janes infirmary

and it’s a carnival act

and every show is free

you get your tricks in the back

grab a fifth off the rack

and have a fix on me

and we’ll all go down.

My Ship (s.conte/k.brewer)

I don’t deserve this

but there you go i’m feeling low again

no love is worth this

i’m gonna wave goodbye

this is where it ends

now i don’t mind if the sun don’t shine

can’t be bright everyday

but i waited in line for a long long time

now my my my my ship is on the way

please understand this

i gotta try it’s do or die for me

you’ve got your interests

ya never cared

you’re where you wanna be

but i set my sights on those distant lights

and dropping your anchors away

i dove right in now it’s sink or swim

and my my my my ship is on the way

so much for aggravations

i wash my hands

i see my destination

coming into view

glowing like a new romance

now i don’t mind if the sun don’t shine

can’t be bright everyday

but i waited in line for a long long time

my my my my ship is on the way

Everybody’s Baby (k.brewer/s.conte)

a girl like that could keep you home

a girl like that could stop you running around

everybody’s telling me

how good my life must be

but when they talk of love

what are they thinking of?

she’s everybody’s baby

when they turn the house lights down

and she takes the stage and

leaves my world behind

sometimes i think i’m crazy

trying to follow her around

cause she treats her public well

and she always looks divine

and she’s everybody’s baby

but mine

when she’s with me i can make her smile

when she’s with me she tells me all of her dreams

and all the things she promises

are things i could believe

until the moment ends

and i’m alone again

she’s everybody’s baby

when they turn the house lights down

and it’s clear to me it’s her

they’ve come to find

sometimes i think i’m crazy

trying to follow her around

cause she treats her public well

and she always looks divine

and she’s everybody’s baby

but mine
