Motor City Rock 1980-1990 - Lyrics

I've traveled far across the sea
Come looking for my dreams
Lost in the land of opportunity
Things are not what they seem
It's been so long since I've seen her
Still she waits for me
Across the rolling hills, across the moor
No fairer place can there be
When I hear the rain falling down
It makes me long for my home
Little town of Durness
On the North Atlantic shore

Out here in the darkness
Of the city streets
I can hear the rain falling down
Calling out to me
As though a voice from far away
Far across the sea
My tears are falling like rain
Rain for Scotland again
Raining for Scotland again
Raining for Scotland again

Show me the way to Durness for I'm sure
There's one who waits for me
I met her in the pub down by the pier
And we walked along the sea
Now I'm lying here so far away
I don't know what to do
I think about her every night and day
And I pray that she'll be true

When I hear the rain falling down
It makes me long for my home
Little town of Durness
On the North Atlantic shore

Out here in the darkness
Of the city streets
I can hear the rain falling down
Calling out to me
As though a voice from far away
Far across the sea
My tears are falling like rain
Rain for Scotland again
Raining for Scotland again
Rain for Scotland again
Raining for Scotland again
Let it rain (spoken)
Rain for Scotland again
Raining for Scotland again
Rain for Scotland again
Raining for Scotland again
Rain for Scotland again
Raining for Scotland again

Destination 337

Forty-thousand men sailing across the sea
This is a time of death, fire and misery
Will they survive the evil that lies far beyond
Men have tried and failed, may this be the end

Destination 337...

The battle was lost, but not won
I think there should be some rules
All our good men have gone
The weak ones took to the hills
You better pass back the word
And tell them that we have lost
You better have the government
Get out and count the cost

Destination 337...

Death is all I can see; show me greater evil
This is why cities tumble and reign down
This is what shatters hope and starves the poor
Theirs a lesson to be learned

Destination 337...
Destination 337...
Destination 337...

Your Lies

You said that this time it's for real
You said that this time you'd be true
I can't believe you anymore
So, what am I supposed to do
You said to give you one last chance
But, I heard it all before
And I believed you then
I can't believe you anymore

I can't believe my ears
And I can't believe my eyes
I can't believe in what you're saying, oh no
'Cause you're filling me up with all your lies
You're filling me up with all your lies
Stop filling me up with all your lies
Stop filling me up with all your lies

Now I believed that what you said
Was the undisputed truth
I learned my lesson much too late
And now, now the joke's on you
Your tears, they are my tears
Your pain, it is my pain
But, what is yours cannot be mine
And it's driving me insane

I can't believe my ears
And I can't believe my eyes
I can't believe in what you're saying, oh no
'Cause you're filling me up with all your lies
You're filling me up with all your lies
Stop filling me up with all your lies
Stop filling me up with all your lies
Stop filling me up with all your lies
All your Goddamn lies

Details at Eleven

You drive me crazy girl
The way you criticize
You're always talking me down
Girl it really gets to me
The way you're telling lies
I can't take anymore
Of what you're doing to me
You'd better change your ways
Girl if you don't change your ways
I'm gonna set you free

When I look in your eyes
I see no answers there
Only questions girl
I think I'd better beware
Always acting like
You're so much better than me
One day you'll wake up girl
One day you're gonna see
Caught you messing around
With another man
I just can't take anymore
You know it's all I can stand
Oh yeah!
You know it's all I can stand

Sunday mourning, Sunday mourning,
Sunday mourning, It's not a place in time
Sunday mourning, Sunday mourning,

Sunday mourning, Sunday mourning,
Sunday mourning girl, I'm gonna set you free

Girl, when Sunday mourning comes
You'll get a big surprise
Sunday mourning, find out what it means to me
Sunday morning, yeah
Girl when Sunday mourning comes
I'm gonna set you free

You drive me crazy girl
The way you criticize
You're always talking me down
Girl it really gets to me
The way you're telling lies
I can't take anymore
Of what you're doing to me
You'd better change your ways
Girl if you don't change your ways
I'm gonna set you free

"Mostly sunny today, with highs in the mid to upper eighties
Turning partly cloudy this evening, with possible chance of thunder showers
A Detroit woman was found dead in her apartment early Sunday morning
Probable cause of death, multiple gunshot wounds
Police have no suspect in the case at this time
Tune in for the latest sports, weather, and more details tonight at eleven"

When I look in your eyes
I see no answers there
Only questions girl
I think I'd better beware
Always acting like
You're so much better than me
One day you'll wake up girl
One day you're gonna see
Caught you messing around
With another man
I just can't take anymore
You know it's all I can stand
Oh yeah!
You know it's all I can stand

Sunday mourning, Sunday mourning,
Sunday mourning, It's not a place in time

Jessica

Look what you're doing to me girl
You've got me running insane
I've waited on you hand and knee babe
I should have known you wouldn't change

Now my eyes have seen the light of day
And my conscience seems so far away
And I'm trying just to find my way
Make it through just one more day

You've got a hold over me girl
And I keep trying to get away
But these things you're doing to me babe
Make me feel like I might stay

Now my eyes have seen the light of day
And I'm tired of the games you play
Now I know I've got to get away

Now that it's over and I'm leaving
I find it hard to say goodbye
And as I'm walking out your doorway
I feel a teardrop in my eye

But, now my eyes have seen the light of day
And my conscience seems so far away
And I'm tired of these games you play
Now I know I've got to get away

Now my eyes have seen the light of day
And my conscience seems so far away
And I can't make it through a another day
Sorry, but it has to end this way

Warhorse

Out there in the darkness
I can hear the sound
Like a wall of thunder
Crashing to the ground
Turning toward the window
I see it again
Black shape with eyes of fire
Racing like the wind

Warhorse, running through the night
Warhorse, looking for the fight
Warhorse, defending all that's right
Warhorse, just a phantom in the night

I've heard tales about him
I thought that they were lies
Until that night I saw him
I could not believe my eyes
A shadow in the moonlight
Racing like the wind
At the stroke of midnight
The phantom he rides again

Warhorse, running through the night
Warhorse, looking for the fight
Warhorse, defending all that's right
Warhorse, just a phantom in the night
