Wasn't very long ago
We were screwin' to the stereo then
We both went our separate ways
But I still think about you every day

You said we would never last
'Cause we were taking things way too fast
And I don't know where to start
And I don't know who's gonna fix my heart because

I still love yur face
When I see you, baby
I still love yur face
When I see you on the street

I got your picture on my bedroom drawer
I left your dress on my bedroom floor
And I still got all those high school rings
My doctor says I'm keeping all these things because

I still love yur face
When I see you, baby
I still love yur face
When I see you on the street

You kill a lover, you kill 'em fast
I'm just another victim of your ruthless knife
And your heartless lies

Well, I remember there is no past
I never wanna, I never wanna say goodbye...don't wanna say goodbye...

Ten years come and gone
And everybody seems to be movin' on
But me, I'm gonna be a star
And you can watch me at Iggy's bar singin'

na, na-na-na-na-na... na-na-na-na-na-na-na
na, na-na-na-na-na... na-na-na-na-na-na-na
na, na-na-na-na-na...hey na-na-na-na-na-na-na
na, na-na-na-na-na...hey na-na-na-na-na-na-na...

I still love yur face
When I see you, baby
I still love yur face
When I see you, baby
I still love yur...face
When I see you, baby
I still love yur face
When I see you on the street...
Oh, see you on the street
Oh, I see you on the street

Midnite Rider, you feel all right
Summer lovin' on every Friday night
Singin', "Don't stop now, 'cause baby I ain't through"... yeah

Midnite Rider, your name in lights
A backseat drive-thru on every Friday night
Singin', "Don't stop now, 'cause baby I ain't through"... I only care about you

You never let me down
You never let me down
You never let me down...

If there's a show to be played
If there's a soul to be saved
If there's a road to be paved
She'll take you home... yeah

Midnite Rider is a pig on gas
Zero to sixty, but man, she'll kick your ass
Singin', "Don't stop now, 'cause baby I ain't through"... I only care about...you

Oohh, we'll be comin' to your town
We'll be comin' to your...town
We'll be comin' to your town...

If there's a show to be played
If there's a soul to be saved
If there's a road to be paved
She'll take you...

Night drivin' with Alex Lifeson
Grease lightning, 
You're gonna keep the faith
So frightened, the highway sign says:
"There's more to life 100 kilometers away"... ohhh, away... ohhh

Ohhh, I only care what you do
Ohhh, I only care what you do
I only care what you do...

If there's a show to be played
If there's a soul to be saved
If there's a road to be paved
She takes you home...
Take you home...
She'll take you ho-o-o-o-oooo-ome... yeah... yeahhhhh... ahhhhh... ooh-ooh... ooh... ooh-ooh... ooh- ooh... ooh-ooh... ooh- ooh... ooh-ooh... ooh-ooh... ooh-ooh...

We are the usual suspects
Drinkin' out in public
Spewin' out our usual lines
Drivin' with a mob crew
With a lot of nothin' to do
Except livin' up these blue collar crimes...

And some boys from the south end
Starin' at my girlfriend
But I'll deal with that some other time
'Cause I'm headin' for the border
This life is out of order
And I gotta leave these loogans behind...

Now I'm hidin' from sunshine
Sure ain't the first time...
Waitin' my life...

On a su-ummer ni-i-i-ite
On a su-ummer ni-i-i-ite
This story's in the stars
And I don't need a telescope

I was taught at the elite school
But I learned from a street fool
That success is just a state of your mind
He said, "You can have all the money and have a good-lookin' honey, and still feel like you're caught in the grind"

Now I'm hidin' from sunshine
I'm so sick of the dayti-i-i-ime
Sure ain't the first time...
Waitin' my life...

On a su-ummer ni-i-i-ite
(Hidin' from sunshine)
On a su-ummer ni-i-i-ite
(Sick of the daytime)
On a su-ummer ni-i-i-ite
This story's in the stars
And I don't need a telescope
They're shooting movie scenes in bars
And it's all just mirrors and smoke...sssssssssss-poof

Oooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Well, on a su-ummer ni-i-i-ite
(Hidin' from sunshine)
Well, on a su-ummer ni-i-i-ite
(Oh, so sick of the daytime)
Well, on a su-ummer ni-i-i-ite
(Oh, you know it ain't the first time)
You know, the su-ummer niiiiiiiite
On a su-ummer niiiiiiiite
On a su-ummer niiiiiiiite
On a su-ummer niiiiiiiite
Lovers in the cars listenin' to the radi...o

So this is the life, this is the life of leisure
The monster's gone, the demon's been raiiiiiiiised
No better time, there's no better time or season
To bury the past, you're no longer a slaaaaaaaave
It's the thorn in your side
It's like your soul divides

But it's over now, the wound's been shut
You can write it off as a five year rut
Well, tomorrow's the life, but tonight
She's learnin'' to breathe...

It's a beautiful ride down a familiar highway
You stop to the side reminiscing away
It's a natural high, it's the final kiss goodbye

Well, it's over now, the wound's been shut
You can write it off as a five year rut
Well, tomorrow's the life, but tonight
She's learnin'' to breathe...

Dooooo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-dooooo

Ohhhh, I beliiiiiiiieve there are no words that can answer
Your deepest desires and dreamiest dreams
Were you alone? Oh-oh, did your world explode?

It's over now, the wound's been shut
You can write it off as a five year rut
Well, tomorrow's the life, but tonight
She's learnin'' to breathe...

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo...

Learning to breathe...she's learning to breathe...

I got no strategy
I get no chicks for free
I don't got what I need
Still you won't believe...
This life's a sick, cheap tragedy
I'm in every scene
Well, if you take the lead
Then I will take a seat
Maybe then you'll know that

I will give you all my power
And lots of other things
I will give you all my power
Till eternity

You got philosophy
You get from what you read
I get from what I breathe
Well, do you get what I mean?
Maybe then you'll know that

I will give you all my power
And lots of other things
I will give you all my power
Till eternity...huh...woah...woahhh... yeah!

10...9...8...7...

Another century, will you make believe
That all your history can be wiped clean...ahh...

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

I will give you all my power
And lots of other things
I will give you all my power
Till eternity

I will give you all my power
And lots of other things
I will give you all my power
Till eternity
I will give you all my power...

Someday they'll find blood beneath your skin
Someday they'll try...breaking you in

But you're running scared like an orphan child
Hiding fear behind that purty smile
It's your Berlin Wall
It's your padlock door
Shuts 'em out, now they want you even more

Fall in, fall out
So your world is not so fair
Come on in or come on out
'Cause we need another player

But you're running scared like an orphan child
Hiding fear behind that purty smile
It's your Berlin Wall
It's your padlock door
Shuts 'em out, so they want you, want you even more...

We came to crash through your door
We cannot wait anymore
We came to crash through your door
We cannot wait anymore

Well, your eyes stare into nothing
To the mirrors on your shelf
And your god won't give you something
That you don't want yourself
Where the boys outside your doorway
Offering up their help
You're holding out, holding out, you're holding out till they all just go away...

We came to crash through your door
We cannot wait anymore
We came to crash through your door
We cannot wait anymore
(You're holding out till they all just go away)
We came to crash through your door
We cannot wait anymore
(Till they all just go away)
We came to crash through your door
We cannot wait anymore...

Standin' at the booze can
We were too tanned
We were new champs
We were young

Like a one night romance
Like road tramps
We could dirty dance
We were dumb

No new age revolution
Between a woman and a man
We're gonna take your contribution
We're gonna get some while we can...

You cheat, you lie, you control
You cheat, you lie, you control
You cheat, you lie, control my little world
Still you keep me comin' back

Now we're the losers
We're the cougars
We refuse that we are done... ohhh, I said...
Now we're the losers
We're the cougars
We refuse that we are done...

No new age revolution
Between a woman and a man
We're gonna take your contributions
We're gonna get some while you can...

You cheat, you lie, you control
You cheat, you lie, you control
You cheat, you lie, control my little world
Still you keep me comin' back... ohhh, where do you think you're goin'?
Where do you think you're goin'

Oh, everybody
You cheat, you lie, you control
You cheat, you lie, you control
You cheat, you lie, control my little world
Still you keep me coming back... ohhh

You cheat, you lie, you control
You cheat, you lie, you control
You cheat, you lie, control my little world
Still you keep me coming back...
Still you keep me coming back... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Still you keep me coming back

[whistling]

Well, I travel over the world, searchin' for the one
And I fall for every girl, I can't get enough, enough

I remember, back in Bombay
I spent a weekend, oh, wearin' lingerie...ohhh
I remember, oh, screwin' on the beach when
Two policemen, they put me in chains and they told me to stay

Well, I travel over the world, searchin' for the one
And I fall for every girl, I can't get enough, enough

I remember, back in Tokyo
I got the feeling I was Rock 'n Roll...woah
Yeah, I remember, yeah, Japanese fans...ohhh
They love the white man
So I jumped on a stage and I started to play

Well, I travel over the world, searchin' for the one
And I fall for every girl, I can't get enough, enough
I don't really wanna talk about it...

Well, I travel over the world, searchin' for the one...ohhh
And I fall for every girl, I can't get enough, enough

Well, I travel over the world, I'm searchin' for my number, number, number one
I fall for every girl, I can't, I caaaaaaaaaaaaaaan't (I can't get...) get enough, ah, I can't get enough
No, no, no, no
(Fall for every girl, can't get enough)
Can't get e-, can't get enough
(Travel over the world, searchin' for the one)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Fall for every girl, can't get enough)

You play your songs inside your room, your room, your room
Those big town psychos wait for you, for you, for you

Crawl out of the basement
Trippin' the whole downtown
You get up, shake your head, turn around, and you're back inside your room...

Angus...
We're waitin'
So come back
To our world

It's not mistaken you're no fool, no fool, no fool
If they were walkin' in your shoes, your shoes, your shoes

Crawl out of the basement
Trippin' the whole downtown
You get up, shake your head, turn around, and you're back inside your room...

Angus...
We're waitin'
So come back
To our world

Only Rock 'n Roll is gonna save you
Only Rock 'n Roll is gonna save you
Only Rock 'n Roll is gonna save you...yeah...yeah...ah!
Ohhhhhh...ohhhhhh...ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Crawl out of the basement
Trippin' the whole...town
Poundin' the pavement
Tearin' the flo-oor...

Angus...
We're waitin'
So come back
To our world

Wooo-o-ooh, wooo-o-ooh, woo-o-ooooh...wooo-o-ooh, woo-o-ooh
Wooo-o-ooh, wooo-o-ooh, woo-o-ooooh...wooo-o-ooh, woo-o-ooh

Oh, in my grandfather's home, I think I was alone
I was really fucking scared standing on a wooden chair
So I wrote a little note, used a belt as a rope
And I tied it to the water...pipe

I've got visions and grand designs
I've got a river of dre-e-eams
About leaving this world behind
About busing free

On a rocky mountain road in another time zone
I could feel the wheel shake but I couldn't feel the brake
I was screamin' 'round the bend when I tore right through that fence
And spread my arms into the...sky

I've got visions and grand designs
I've got a river of dre-e-eams
About leaving this world behind
About busing free

Well, it's cold in December, more than I remember
Someone put another log into the fire
The story's been suspended, I woke before it ended
Now I'm growin' tired, I hope you were inspired, I'm so cold

Wooo-o-ooh, wooo-o-ooh, woo-o-ooooh...wooo-o-ooh, woo-o-ooh...I'm so cold
Wooo-o-ooh, wooo-o-ooh, woo-o-ooooh...wooo-o-ooh, woo-o-ooh

Oh, it's modern life...it's normalized...
The stars will wipe those teenage tears away...
So close your eyes...
They'll analyze...
Your children hear subversive rhymes...
Sing the words you wanna hear...
Sing the words you wanna hear...

Hey, won't you tell me your name
It sounds like a line, but I've seen you before
At that place, that corner café
Sitting alone, drinkin' champa-a-agne...

Hey, let me refrain
There's a place down the road Where you don't drink alone
And there's this band playing toni-ight
And they're keeping me real, they've been keeping me alive

Well, I ain't no son of Sam
This ain't no bitter plan to get you through my doorwa-ay
Try, try to understand it's hard to be a man, you're feelin' like a dog...

Hey, that's a really nice name
Now, *that's* a line, I know you've heard it before
But I wanna know did the last one make you bleed?
Did he ruin it for me? Did he ruin it for me?

Oh, well I ain't no son of Sam
This ain't no bitter plan to get you through my doorwa-ay
Try, try to understand it's so hard to be a man, you're feelin' like a dog...oh

Did you forget how to read a smile?
Did you forget how to read a smile?
And could you ever believe these eyes?
And could you ever believe these eyes...?

Ooooh, ahhh-ahh, ahhh-ahh, ahhh-ahhh, ahhhhh, ahhh-ahh, ahhh-ahh, ahhh-ahh...

Well, I ain't no son of Sam
This ain't no bitter plan to get you through my doorwa-ay
Try, try to understand it's hard to be a man, you're feelin' like a dog...

(Do the lovers make you sad? Do the losers make you happy? Do the lovers make you sad?)
Do the losers make you happy? Do the lovers make you sad?
Do the losers make you happy? Do the lovers make you...sad?

Girl, where are you from?
You're wild, you make me feel young
Well, I'm on fire for that beautiful face
Well, are you lone?
Why you come in this...place?

If you're God then I'm believin'
If you're God then I'm believin'
If you're God then I'm believin' in you...

You should stay
Teachers don't know nothin'
You should stay
'Cause I'll throw it all away...yeah

But you're still so high, you're still so high, you're still so high school
Oh, I'm just a pedophile, a pedophile, a pedophilic fool...yeah

If you're God then I'm believin'
If you're God then I'm believin'
If you're God then I'm believin' in you...

So, c'mon, stay
Teachers don't know nothin'
You should stay
'Cause I'll throw it all away...

'Cause I'm rockin', rollin', stalkin', strollin' for some pla-a-ay... ohhh...(ohhh...)ohhh...(eh-yeah...)ohhh...wooh... (wooh...wooh...) wooh...(wooh...)wooh...(ah...)ah...

Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl, I'll throw it all away...

Oh, this uniform's stained, it's a sign of my luck
This adolescent pain, I think I like it too much
You know I'm comin' of age, this corporate life sucks!
You look at me strange, man, well I don't give a fuck, I'm cryin'...

Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl, oh, I'll throw it all away

Oh, this uniform's stained, it's a sign of my luck
This adolescent pain, I think I like it too much
You know I'm comin' of age, this corporate life sucks!
You look at me strange, man, well I don't give a fuck, I'm cryin'...

Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl, oh, I'll throw it all away
Oh, Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl, I'll throw it, I'll throw it all away!

Cheryl...
Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl, I'll throw it all away
Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl, I'll throw it all away...

Darlin', don't ask
You drag the past
Into the light
I run, I fight
Your will is good
That's so understood

But now, I know
I need to be alone...ah...

Believe in you
And what you do
You're tough, your heart
I'm not that far
Those hands, that face
This cold, cold place

But now, I know
I need to be alone...
Teach me to love again
Again, and again...

I will, I will, I will, I will do anything for you
And I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still new and forever blue

Peace, at last
Will peace come fast
If people ask
All need to act
No help, no names
Don't want no fame

'Cause now, I know
I need to be alone...
Say you wanna teach love again
Again, and again

'Cause I will, I will, I will, I will do anything for you
And I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still new and forever blue...
Ah...I'm forever blue...

Darlin', relax
The pain will pass
You know...

I'm not comin' ho-o-ome...
I'm not comin' ho-ome with this life
'Cause my heart is good
And my soul is where it should be tonight...
Yeah, tonight...yeah, tonight...
Oh...tonight...tonight...toni-ight...
Toni-ight...Toni-ight...
