(Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na) Eden
(Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na) yeah
Too far gone to turn around, as I make it into town
I said driver, take my suitcase, where's that good time goin' down
Hit the freeway to the skyline, need some faster ecstasy
If she's got a prize, then I've got the money
She said for you the first one's free
And I thought I saw Jesus in the hotel room
As we made love on the balcony
With a drink in my hand, like they said it would be, yeah
So this is Eden, so this is Eden
And baby I knew it, that you'd lead me to it, I don't wanna get out
(Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na) Eden
Feel the pressure rise in the elevator, make our way down to the street
Soul sister, sing a song for me, drunks and junkies shuffle their feet
It's a flea rang circus, down town Mavelone
We're crashing and burning, for twenty-four hours the party goes on, yeah
So this is Eden, so this is Eden
And baby I knew it, that you'd lead me to it, nobody gets out
(Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na) Eden, nobody gets out
(Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na) of Eden, no no

Breathe in, breathe out, check in, check out
It's a wild weekend, ghost train ride to the other side
It's a funhouse suicide, it's making me feel more dead than alive, yeah
So this is Eden, so this is Eden
And baby I knew it, that you'd lead me to it
So this is Eden, so this is Eden
And baby I knew it, that you'd lead me to it, yeah
(Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na) Eden, nobody gets out
(Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na) of Eden, no no no no...
(Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na)
(Na na nanana nana, na na nanana nana na)
Check in, you won't check out

. . .


I can't reach behind your eyes
You always look away
You hide behind your alibis
And change your mind
From day to day
If there's something I can do
Then I'll be there
Outside your broken world
You'll see it's me who cares
Take me straight to your heart
Cause this time's real
And real lasts forever
I know where you are
Cause you know
I've been there before
Straight to your heart
I watch you move
And I watch you dance
I watch you drift away
And I'd give anything for you
And you know that's bad
When it gets that way
You can't go on like this
And I don't wanna fight again
I don't give a damn anymore


Right or wrong you're gonna let me in
Straight to your heart
Cause this time's real and real lasts forever
I know where you are
Cause you know I've been there before
Straight to your heart this time this time
Baby I know where you are
Cause you know I've been there before
Then maybe I'll break down the walls
And my love will go
Straight to your heart
Inside
Take me inside yeah
Straight to your heart
Cause this time's real and real lasts forever
I know where you are
Cause this time we're goin' all the way
Straight to your heart
This time
This time
Baby it's straight
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
This time it's straight to your heart
Oh yeah
Cause this time it's real

. . .


The first time that I saw you
You were dancin' on the beach
Poetry in motion
But you seemed so out of reach
And the waves
were breakin' 'round you
In the California sunset

I made a wish to know you
And touch your golden hair
You turned around and looked at me
And paradise was there
Baby I remember the way you took my hand
Yesterday

Time stood still
As we walked into the night together
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
It seems just like yesterday
Time stood still

We found a little seaside bar
High above the rocks
You were drinking white wine
And I was doing shots
I wondered if you'd stay the night
You just took my hand and led the way

Time stood still
As we made love through the night together
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
Time stood still
Time stood still
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
Oh yeah

I thought that I'd seen love before
But what you showed me
Well that's something more
Love found two strangers walking on the shore
We threw our watches in the sea
I looked at you you looked at me
And time stood still

We made a fire on the beach that night
And watched the seagulls circle in the morning light
Maybe there are some things
we're not meant to understand Anyway

Time stood still
But love goes on forever
The memory is burned in our hearts forever
Oh yes

Time stood still
The moment's gone forever
But I will love you till
Time stands still in our hearts forever
Oh yeah

Time stood still
Time stood still
Time stands still in our hearts forever
Seems just like yesterday
Time stood still
Time stands still
Time stood still
Oh yeah
Time stood still
Forever...

. . .


When everything is cloudy
Aand the sun won't shine for me
And it seems
Like nothing's goin' right
There's a place I want to be
Just laying there beside you
In the shelter of your room
I leave the world
Outside your door
Lose myself in you
When you're in my arms
I find all that I need
I could never live without
The heaven that you showed me
I've been waiting all my life
Just to look into your eyes
I live for the time alone with you
And when I climb
The stairs to find you
And we reach for the light
I thank God I've got
This time alone with you
Your kiss can captivate me
And your touch can set me free
I count the hours baby
Till you are next to me
And it's taken such a long time


To find someone that understands
When I reach out for love now
I reach out for your hand
When I feel your heart beat
It makes me come alive
I don't wanna live without
Something that is so right
I've been waiting all my life
Just to look into your eyes
I live for the time alone with you
Cause everytime I see your face
All my troubles fade away
I live for the time alone with you
And when I climb the stairs to find you
And we reach for the light
I thank God I've got this time alone with you
I've been waiting all my life
Just to look into your eyes
I live for the time alone with you
Cause everytime I see your face
All my troubles fade away
I live for the time alone with you
And when I climb the stairs to find you
And we reach for the light
I thank God I've got this time alone with you
Oh, this time alone with you

. . .


In the rhythm of the street
The steam is rising
You can feel the heat
She puts on her make-up
Puts shoes on her feet
She's going down tonight
You can feel it from a distance
Like a nuclear bomb
She knows she's looking good
With the new dress on
And all the guys with the x-ray eyes
Check her out as she walks on by
She's a primitive girl
No jewel like money's buyin'
A slave to the rhythm
A rhythm machine
I wanna make that girl
Make that scene
There's a heatwave on the floor tonight
Watch her move
Watch her melt the ice
She's in ecstasy
She spins and she whirls
Dancing off the edge
Off the edge of the world
I'm looking for a hot romance
How am I gonna get that girl
When she's dancing off the edge of the world
Dancing off the edge
Watch her move
In the rhythm of the beat
She motions her body
She becomes complete
With the rock 'n roll music
It's indiscrete
It's sexual
You'd better cut her some space
Give her some air
You can try if you like
But I wouldn't dare


She don't know it yet
But this is a love affair
She's mine
All mine
She's a primitive girl
No jewel like money's buyin'
A slave to the rhythm
A rhythm machine
I wanna make that girl
Make that scene
There's a heatwave on the floor tonight
Watch her move
Watch her melt the ice
She's in ecstasy
She spins and she whirls
Dancing off the edge
Off the edge of the world
I'm looking for a hot romance
How am I gonna kiss that girl
When she's dancing off the edge of the world
Just look at that girl
Watch her move, yeah
Watch her groove
Everyone sees me smile
From a million miles away
All the gigolos try and try their best move
She just walks on by
There's a heatwave on the floor tonight
Watch her move
Watch her melt the ice
She's in ecstasy
She spins and she whirls
Dancing off the edge
Off the edge of the world
Dancing off the edge
The edge of the world yeah
Dancing off the edge
The edge of my world
Dancing off the edge

In the midnight rain
Johnny throws a stance
Says "love me tender love me true"
And in the doorway there
She looks up at him
And she says
"you know I do"
But johnny's on the run
Cause he stole a gun
He needs to disappear
Johnny shot a man
And now he's scared
She whispers in his ear
Rebel say a prayer
That there's a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on
And we'll be free
There's glory waiting there
Can feel it in the air
Rebel say a prayer
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
I'll meet you there
(rebel say a prayer)
Johnny pulls her close
Says I've got to go
Cause they'll come for me tonight
And he turns to leave
But she won't let go
And they stand there in the light
Baby where you go
That's where I will go
Love never seemed so clear
If it's the last thing in the world we do
We've gotta get out of here
Rebel say a prayer
That there's a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on
And we'll be free
Where cadillacs have wings
A place where elvis sings
For you and me


So baby take my hand
We'll find the promised land
Above the stars tonight
There's graceland waitin' there
Believe it if you dare
And rebel say a prayer
And the cops are waiting down the street
They both know that there's no way out
Johnny pulls his gun
And all hell breaks loose
She cries "i¹ll remember this"
As they¹re cut down in the final kiss
Rebel say a prayer
That there's a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on
And we'll be free
Where cadillacs have wings
A place where elvis sings
For you and me
So baby take my hand
We'll find the promised land
Above the stars tonight
There's graceland waitin' there
Believe it if you dare
And rebel say a prayer
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
Rebel say a prayer
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
Above the stars tonight
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
If you dare
(rebel say a prayer)
Rebel say a prayer
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
And I'll meet you there
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
Rebel say a prayer
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
I'll meet you there
(rebel say a prayer)
Yeah

. . .


When I hold you in my gaze
When there's nothing else to say
I can still find you when you look away
You can say to me we're through
You can say that you are free
But you fool yourself
You belong to me
The more you wanna run
You can't make it to the door
Took a chance on love
Now we both want more
And tonight goes on forever
I can feel it in my life
I can see it in your eyes
Going through this world together
Finding paradise with you
Into the savage blue
The savage blue with you
When the storm has passed us by
And the crowd has come and gone
I will be with you
Cause our love goes on
And we share a quiet place
That no one else can touch
Spirits live as one
And our souls are free
I will wait for you
Now my heart's an open door
Tell me that you'll stay
Don't wanna lose you anymore
And tonight goes on forever
I can feel it in my life


I can see it in your eyes
Going through this world together
Finding paradise with you
Into the savage blue
Baby come with me
And tonight goes on forever
I can feel it in my life
I can see it in your eyes
Going through this world together
Finding paradise with you
Into the savage blue
(tonight goes on forever)
When I'm alone with you
(tonight we are together)
Oh yeah
(tonight goes on forever)
Into the savage blue
(tonight goes on forever)
When I'm alone with you
(tonight we are together)
Makin' love to you
(tonight goes on forever)
Into the savage blue
(tonight goes on forever)
(tonight we are together)
(tonight goes on forever)
(tonight goes on forever)
(tonight we are together)
(tonight goes on forever)
(tonight goes on forever)
(tonight we are together)
(tonight goes on forever)

Listen to the rain come down on the roof
Someone needs a miracle
And I'm the livin' proof
Drink
Light a cigarette
And let me count the ways
I can hear a whisper
In a haunted house these days
She won't set me free
She won't let me go
She won't leave my soul alone
She just leads me to the river
As my heart goes down in flames
Till she comes back to me
I'll have to pray for rain
Wrap yourself around me
Only you can pull me through
Through this desert that I call my heart
I'll pray for rain to you
To you
To you
I can see the firelight reflected on her skin
She was smooth as alabaster
With a taste of salt and sin
Slave to a servant
A prisoner to a kiss
Addicted to temptation
And we did not resist
Now I can't get free
She won't let go
She won't leave my soul alone
She¹ll just lead me to the river
As my heart goes down in flames
Till she comes back to me
I'll have to pray for rain
Wrap yourself around me


Only you can pull me through
Through this desert that I call my heart
I'll pray for rain to you
Now I'm a stranger to myself
Now my life is not my own
She won't leave my soul alone
She¹ll just lead me to the river
As my heart goes down in flames
Till she comes back to me
I'll have to pray for rain
Wrap yourself around me
Only you can pull me through
Through this desert that I call my heart
I'll pray for rain to you
(lead me to the river)
Lead me to the river
I'll pray for rain
(lead me to the river)
(pray for rain)
She comes back to me again
(lead me to the river)
Lead me down
Take me down
(lead me to the river)
(pray for rain)
Pray for rain
(lead me to the river)
(lead me to the river)
(lead me to the river)
(pray for rain)
(lead me to the river)
(lead me to the river)
(lead me to the river)
(pray for rain)
(lead me to the river)

Now the sand is shifting through your life
The hands of time are twisting through your days
A captured moment in your kiss
Like winter snow it's gone
Melted away
There's a chapel on the edge of town
Baby take my hand
Before they tear it down
Cause now we find nothing's what it seems
Let me hold you close
Through these drivin' dreams
Cause the world is turning much too fast
And time won't wait
Gotta make love last
Cause the fields are burning
And there's no returning
Till the future finds the past
We gotta make love last
Make love last
Like a rose exploding in the sun
A precious time to live before it's gone
Tears fall on the ocean from different skies
Inside your kiss I wake and find the dawn
In temporary ways we give
But eternally our hearts will live
For now we find nothing's what it seems


You better run with me
Through these drivin' dreams
Cause the highway's fading much too fast
And time won't wait
We gotta make love last
Cause the fields are burning
And the season's turning
Till the future finds the past
This time we gotta make love last
Oh oh
Oh yeah
Oh
Cause the world is turning much too fast
And time won't wait
We gotta make love last
Cause the fields are burning
And the season's turning
Till the future finds the past
This time we're gonna make love last
We gotta make love last
Cause the highway's fading
And the world is turning
Much too fast
We gotta make love last
Make love last

He looks like deniro
She's his brigitte bardot
And that's enough to hang around
With those who think they know
But if you've got the image
And symbols of success
You must be doing something right
To keep up with the jones's
They made it from the castin' couch
The sex was rock an' roll
They're everybody's business
Inquiring minds must know
Every slummy little detail
Every superficial move
And you can buy it retail
In pink and black and blue
She said
Take me walking where the surf is slow
He said
What's wrong with right here
I got places to go
Life at the top
Down on your knees
Don't stop
Don't stop
Give it to me
Life at the top
Where nothing is free
It's alright
Alright baby won't you live it with me
If you get up on the table
You're gonna lose your place
In the city of angels
Where fame's a state of grace
If you need a plastic surgeon
Honey I know an ace
You can't change your past
But he can change your face
She said
Take me walking where the surf is slow
He said
What's wrong with right here
I got places to go
Life at the top
Down on your knees
Don't stop
Don't stop
Give it to me
Life at the top
Where nothing is free


It's alright
Alright baby won't you live it with me
He said
Baby take me far away from here
She said
You already arrived
Can't you see yourself clear
Life at the top
(alright alright)
Shakin' the money tree
(alright alright)
Give it everything you got
(alright alright)
Shake it one time for me
(don't stop don't stop)
Life at the top
Down on your knees
Don't stop
Don't stop
Give it to me
Life at the top
Where nothing is free
It's alright
Alright baby won't you live it with me
(life at the top)
Down on your knees
It¹s alright
Alright baby live it with me
(life at the top)
This stealin' thing you got
In the land of the free
(don't stop, don't stop)
So come on baby why won't you
Why don't you steal from me
(life at the top)
My my my my my my yeah
(life at the top)
It's alright
(life at the top)
It's alright
In real life
(life at the top)
Alright yeah
In the city of the angels
You can get it where you want it
Get it where you want it
Get where you wanna
Want it
Want it to be
