Passion Street
(D. Locorriere/L. Preston/J. Lyon)

Streetlight dances on the sidewalk
As another day fades to black
I check my reflection in the satin black finish
Of a double-parked Cadillac

Radio blasting from a doorway
I fall in with that beat
Moving down Passion Street
Down Passion Street

Neon Leon in his shark skin
With some downtown debutante
Fat Tony bouncin’ on the corner
Gets you anything you want
Yea everbody’s looking for something
And this is where the loose ends meet
Here on Passion Street  
On Passion Street

Yea when I’m out here, everything feels right
Oh I know true love waits for me
On Passion Street tonight

Streets sound rolls like thunder
Electricity in the air
Angel ascends from a subway station
Like the answer to my prayer
Saxophone screaming from a nightclub
Lifts us off our feet
And blows us down Passion Street
Down Passion Street

Baby Don’t Lie
(J. Lyon/B. Bandiera)

I’m stranded on the outside where I don’t belong
I’m treated like a stranger
But I’m strong
I know you’re in there trying on someone new
You’re tellin’ all your friends that he’s just right for you

No, no baby, don’t lie
No baby, don’t lie
Baby, don’t lie
Baby, don’t lie to yourself

You’re afraid to settle down
Afraid you’ll settle in
If your wings ever touch the ground
You’ll never soar again
I think it’s time you gave my love an honest try
All those other guys will never make you fly

Baby, don’t lie
Baby, don’t lie
No, baby, don’t lie
Baby, don’t lie to yourself

I will wait forever
If you want me to
I would wait forever
If it’s what I gotta do
To get next to you
Ah, yea!

Baby, don’t lie
Baby, don’t lie
No, baby, don’t lie
Baby, don’t lie to yourself
Don’t lie to yourself
Baby, don’t lie
Now baby, don’t lie
No no
Tell the truth, baby

Leaving Behind
(J. Lyon/M. Noble)

That sun on't wait, it's going down
I can hear that train just outside of town
You better think, think
Think of what we’re leaving behind
I think about it, girl

Unmade bed, unpaid debts
A hundred thousand small regrets
Yea think, think
Just think of what we’re leaving behind

That train is pulling out for good this time
The whistle echoes right across my mind
You know we ain’t got one good reason to stay
So take my hand, baby
Cause we’re running away
We’re running away

All the hurt and the bitter tears
You and I've collected, baby, through the years
I say we lay ‘em down on these railroad tracks
And let the 2:19 train blow the monkey off my back
Cause it’s leaving now, baby
And that’s what we’re leaving behind
Think what we’re leaving, baby
Think yea yea what we’re leaving, baby
I want you to think what we’re leaving, baby
Think about it, girl
Think what we’re leaving, baby

Gladly Go Blind
(F. Miller/J. Barry)

I was walking down the avenue
When I realized that I was only thinking of you
Yes, you're always on my mind
But you're the one I never find

And I would gladly go blind
I would gladly go blind
I would gladly go blind
If I could see you one more time

And I was looking through a magazine
When I found myself comparing you to every beauty queen
You made them all look bad
I never knew the love I had

I would gladly go blind
Yes, I would gladly go blind
Oh, I would gladly go blind
If I could see you one more time

Told me you were leaving
If things didn't change
Told me you were leaving
I know you told me

I was crying in my sleep last night
The tears were on my pillow
In the morning light
I don't think I can stand the pain
Come on, let me hold you once again

And I would gladly go blind
I would gladly go blind
I would gladly go blind
If I could see you baby, yea, yea, yea

Gladly go blind (yes I would now, baby)
Gladly go blind (take my side, babe)
Gladly go blind
If I could see you just one more time

I just want to smell that sweet perfume
Touch your hair, now, baby
Just one more time

She’s Still In Love
(J. Lyon/G. Nicholson)

She knows that I love her
I tell her every day
Oh but sometimes I wonder, I wonder
Does she still feel that same way
And so I go to her
With all my doubts and all my fears
She says, “Hey, don’t be foolish, boy
You know I will always be here”

She’s still in love
(she’s still in love)
Yea, she’s still in love
(she’s still in love)
Little girl said she’s still in love
(she’s still in love)
(she’s still in love)
She’s still in love
Oh yea

I know she could do better
(yes, you do now)
A young man, handsome, rich and refined
(so fine)
I’ve seen the way other men look at her
(so good looking)
And I know she’s not blind
But she says that what she wants
Is a love she can depend on
She says she found a way back to solid ground
The day that I came along

And she’s still in love
(she’s still in love)
Yea, she’s still in love
(she’s still in love)
That’s what she says

She says this ordinary guy
Is what she’s still dreaming of
And she’s still in love
Little girl is still in love
Ah yes she is

Sometimes I go to her
With all my doubts and all my fears
She says, “Now don’t you be foolish, boy
You know I will always be here”
That’s what she says

She’s still in love
(she’s still in love)
(she’s still in love)

Lost In The Night
(J. Lyon/M. Noble)

She woke in a stranger’s bed made with sheets of satin
Looked out an unknown window at the skyline of Manhattan
She remembered boarding the bus for Atlantic City
And some slick at the table sayin’ she sure looked pretty
“Oh, God,” she thought, “It’s happening again.
I don’t know what I did and I don’t know where I am.”

She’s lost, lost in the night
Yea she’s lost, lost in the night

She fumbled for the light and then started to put her clothes on
A voice inside her kept crying, “Hey, what’s going on?”
Then she stumbled over a body half under the bed
Dressed real sharp with a bullet in his head
She stifled a scream and grabbed her purse
Pushed past a drunk on the doorstep who hit her with a curse

Yea she’s lost, lost in the night
Little girl lost, lost in the night
Yea she’s lost lost lost
Lost in the night

3 am, yea it was a bad situation
She caught a gypsy cab down to Grand Central Station
But when she looked in her wallet, she nearly lost her mind
She realized she left all her winnings behind
Wasn’t the money, she didn’t care
She couldn’t leave town cause she didn’t have that fair

She’s lost, lost in the night
Yea she’s lost, lost in the night

No Easy Way Down
(G. Goffin/C. King)

Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky
And now it must fall to the ground
Now you’re sad as can be   
Just how badly, you’ll see
That there is no easy way down

The view from the cliffs
Oh, it must have been exciting
And up to those peaks you were bound
And now you’re stranded alone
And the past is unknown
And there is no easy way down

No it isn’t very easy
When you’re out there on your own
No, it isn’t very easy
When each road you take
Is just one more mistake
There’s no one to break your fall
Or lead you back home

We all like to climb to those heights, love
Where our fantasy world can be found
But you must know in the end
When it’s time to descend
That there is no easy way down
There is no easy way down

Somebody To Love You
(D. McClinton/G. Nicholson)

Well, well, well, well, well
You need a job so you can make some money
You need a nice warm place to stay
A sense of humor cause life is funny
A big stick to keep the wolves away

You need a car with good tires on it
And the right place to eat some bar-bar-barbecue
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
And no holes in your walking shoes
The main thing you're gonna find you need
A fertile place where you can plant the seed

You gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with and be part of you
Love ain't no good until you give it away
You got to give it away

Act like a man and get some life insurance, brother
And be prepared to dial 9-1-1
Pay close attention to your high blood pressure
And stay away from the man with a gun

You need a reason to get up in the morning
So make sure your alarm has got a snooze control
And try to find some place to run for cover
'Cause overnight, you know, it can sure get cold
Well, you're gonna find out sooner or later
You need a common denominator

You gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with and be part of you
Love ain't no good until you give it away, no

You gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with and be part of you
Love ain't no good until you give it away
You got to give it away

You’ve gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with and be part of you
Love ain't no good until you give it away
That’s what I say

You're gonna find out sooner or later
You need a common denominator

You’ve gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you
You know what I’m sayin’ baby
(night and day)

Someone to share it with and be part of you
Cause love ain't no good until you give it give it give it 

You gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with and be part of you
Love ain't no good until you give it away
Oh no no no

I Can’t Dance
(J. Lyon/M. Noble)

I was so in love with the sounds I was hearing
When I was a child
But lately I can’t find that rhythm and I, well I don’t know why
I tell myself my ears are still ringing
From life going upside my head
But when I hear that sweet soul singin’
Well I’m a wild child again
Yes I am

You know I can’t dance and I never could
But when I feel that rhythm
Well, it sounds do good, I wish I could
I wanna dance dance dance
But I can’t dance
I wanna dance dance dance
Oh, I can’t dance

I’ve been walkin’ round this mean old town
A sad and lonely boy
Seems I’ve forgotten those garage band days
When everything was a joy
We’d ride around in Garry’s rusty Ford
With that radio turned up so loud
And head on down to the Upstage Club
And join that madding crowd

Now when I hear those old soul songs
Well it makes my heart just swell
You know I love to hear that one by Archie Bell and the Drells
Yea that one

I wanna dance dance dance
No, I can’t dance
I wanna dance dance dance
But I’m afraid to take that chance
I can’t dance

No never mind
I’m not gonna get on the floor and make a fool of myself
Just so you guys can have a laugh, forget it

Yea I wanna dance dance dance
I wanna dance one time
I got to dance, need to dance
I wanna dance dance dance
No no, but I can’t dance
I wanna dance dance dance
I wanna dance but I know
That I can’t dance, I can’t dance
Oh, I’d love to get out there on the floor
Just like I used to see the old Cadillacs do it
Get up and dance
Ain’t it beautiful

Change For You, Baby
(J. Lyon/J. Kazee)

I used to go out midnight creepin’
Through every low-down joint in town
You know the company I was keepin’
Never let me settle down
Then in a feat of prestidigitation
you appeared on my screen
I took the time to reassess the situation
And now I’m coming clean
Yea, yes I am

I’m gonna change for you, baby
Show you a brand new me
I’m gonna change for you, baby
Be the man that you want me to be

I used to love an all night hustle
Gettin’ over any way I could
You know I could deliver the muscle, baby
And at the time, well it sure felt good
I let my guard down just for one minute
And you slipped in

Now I changed my mind
I’m walking on a straight line
got to take my monkey 'bidness
Just leave it all behind

I wanna change for you, baby
Show you a brand new me
I’m gonna change for you, baby
Be the man that you want me to be
Yea yea yea

I’m not talking about
Changing temporarily no
Don’t misunderstand me now, baby
It’s just a leap of faith
I'm making permanently

(change change change)
I’ve got to change change change
(change change change)
(change change change)
I’ve got to change change change
I said I wanna change for you, baby
It’s alright
(change change change)

Lost
(J. Kazee)

Please think twice if you’re leaving
If you ever loved me at all
Please reconsider
Oh I’m so lost

No one could blame you
If you’re wearin’ down
It’s not the life you asked for
This trouble you have found
Please hold on a little longer
Girl, I’m so lost
So lost

I’d tell you to walk on out
If I only had the strength
You’re the only light in this darkness
The only hope that’s left in me

I feel like crying
The way you carried me through
I can only hope someday, baby
I can return this kindness to you 

Hold on, sweet child
Don’t be cross
Love you forever
Baby, right now
I’m just lost

I Will Be Strong
(J. Lyon)

I feel a pain in my heart
Each time I go away
When I see the fear in your eyes
Is this time he gone to stay?

You know I've been weak
And it didn't take much
Maybe some night, some strangers touch
Will lead me astray

In a world of temptation
There are so many ways to go wrong
But I'll hold your faith in my heart
And I will be strong
Oh, baby, I will be strong 

Somehow I get through the day
I do what I have to do
But lying alone late at night
Oh, how I long for you
You're not asleep and neither am I
But if I call you, you'll break down and cry
You know it's true 

In a world of temptation
There are so many ways to go wrong
But I hold your faith in my heart
And I will be strong
Baby, I will be strong 

We both can't be weak
But we just can't give in
We've got to hold on,
Till I'm back home again
We've got to hold on, baby 

In a world of temptation
There are so many ways to go wrong
But I hold your faith in my heart
And I will be strong

I Won’t Sing
(J. Lyon/B. Bandiera) 

I see you out there doing what you do so well
You smile and it’s like some bright star just fell
People crowd around you as you hold out your hand
I feel the past slip through my fingers
Like the last few grains of sand 

The sun will rise again
But it won’t shine
A moon will light the midnight sky
But it won’t be mine
You may hear me laugh
But it won’t mean anything
They can play my favorite song
But I won’t sing 

The melody you play still sounds as sweet
As the first time that I hear it
And it swept me on my feet
That song we sang together
No I can’t stand to hear it anymore
Cause it tears me up inside
But in a different way than it did before 

The sun will rise again
But it won’t shine
A moon will light the midnight sky
But it won’t be mine
You may hear me laugh
But it won’t mean anything
They can play my favorite song
But I won’t sing 

Why do we drift so far from the things we love
And how did we sink into what we swore we'd rise above
But I still love you and I wish for all the best
I remember the good times, yea
Forget the rest 

The sun will rise again
But it won’t shine
A moon will light the midnight sky
But it won’t be mine
You may hear me laugh
But it won’t mean anything
They can play my favorite song
But I won’t sing

Tired Skin
(A. Escovedo) 

Take this old and very tired skin
Wrap up a newborn baby and keep her warm
Take this old and very tarnished ring
Slip it on your finger
And make it shine 

My feet hurt from walking around this room
My head hurts from thinking about you
Take this old and worn out violin
Hold it in your arms
And make it sing 

Footsteps come and footsteps go
Some of them are new and some are old
Read a story from this weathered book
Weave a happy ending with your hair
