Said I’m gonna write you a melody, right before I get high
Said I’m gonna write you a melody, right before I get high,
Said I’m gonna play another song tonight, then I’m gonna get high
Chorus:
You can’t take me alive, you can’t take me alive
Times gonna take me alive, take me alive
Times gonna take me alive, take me alive
You can’t take me alive, you can’t take me alive
Times gonna take me alive, take me alive
Take me alive
Take me alive , whoa
Said I’m gonna wake up,
Whether it’s a bright or cloudy day
Never gonna give up
Won’t let it rain on my parade,
Teach them out to stand up,
Stand up and never quit the race
Said I’m gonna fire up
That’s just how I’m gonna live today
Chorus:
You can’t take me alive, you can’t take me alive
Times gonna take me alive, take me alive
Times gonna take me alive, take me alive
You can’t take me alive, you can’t take me alive
Times gonna take me alive, take me alive
Take me alive
Take me alive
Said I’m gonna write you a melody, right before I get high,
Said I’m gonna play another song tonight, then I’m gonna get high
Always gonna speak up,
Whether I think I’m right or wrong
Never gonna give up
That’s why were always writing songs
Chorus:
You can’t take me alive, you can’t take me alive
Times gonna take me alive, take me alive
Times gonna take me alive, take me alive
You can’t take me alive, you can’t take me alive
Times gonna take me alive, take me alive
Take me alive
Take me alive
Take me alive

No Fuss:
You wait with little hesitation, very little patience inside your memory, you wait with little bit of chances everybody dances around your mind. You look for all the answers everybody dances inside this memory, you look for all the chances, everybody thinks that it’s not their time
Chorus
We’re only here on top of the world, no fuss no fighting for today, we’re only here on top of the world, no fuss no fighting for today
After Chorus
Baby, I’m on top of the world, my mom, top of the world, Darlingham, top of the world, we’re on top of the world.
Verse two
You look for a little revolution, a little situation for your kind, you hope for a little bit of chances, little bit of answers inside your mind, you’ve done all the dances, surrounding yourself with the ones you love, can’t give them all the answers, they need to learn why they’ve come.

She Knows:
Chorus
Well, she knows that she knows it’s deep in my heart, skips a beat every time I see it makes me start, well, she knows that she knows it’s deep in my heart, skips a beat every time she sees, and I’m torn apart
Verse 1
I’ve been looking for this runner, 5 foot seven stunner, looking out of phase, she’s playing with me, all night, feeling frisky, comes back to my place, only want to trust me, only one to bust me, shifty in her ways, always on the right time, always right on my mind, fits into my space
Chorus
Only lady, love me, baby, see right through me, looking in the crowd, aint no one above me, only she can see me floating on a cloud, hold my head above babe, keep my eyes, a fire glaze, sing our love out, proud, keep the sky above me, baby love me, truly, curtains, close, we bow.

Surfer:
Parking lots and dead lights, hazy, crazy,
walking towards the limelight,
bar door swings open baby, easy Peezy,
this party is feeling right,
it’s about midnight, pretty lady,
my soul is on the prowl,
catch another wave, love, listen to me ,
but I lost her in the crowd
Verse 2
See her on the second floor,
hope she walks this way,
looking towards the balcony, baby, baby,
searching out for you,
she can close the bar down honey-honey,
she can run away,
walking up the stairs towards you, baby, baby,
searching around for you
Call and response
Surfing, surfing searching round for you x4
Parking lots in dead lights, hazy, crazy,
my feet are black and blue,
bar doors are closed now, can’t control me,
searching around for you,
Searching around for you
Searching around for you
Searching around for you

Pretty Boy

Went to the club at quarter til midnight
Looking for a fight, that lasted til daylight
Checked out this lady with legs never ending
Didn’t care what time it was or the money I was spending
She looked me up and down with a face like a lion,
You never know what kinda tricks she’d be trying
I looked at her with a limited step
She crashed and burned as we danced through the set,
The next moment she was off just doing
Looking for another pretty boy to ruin
Come on baby you can’t listen to the hype
Looking like you’re looking for a pretty boy tonight
V2
We woke up a little past noon
Turned on the tube and what could I do
I look beside me there’s a lady in my bed
So what I do , I smoke a joint to my head
She looked me up and down with a face like a lion
You never know what kind of tricks she be trying
I looked at her with a limited step
She crashed and burned as she danced though the set
The next moment she’s off just doing
Looking for another pretty boy to ruin
Pick it up now boys, ya pretty boys

Slow down, stop, lived to inspire, slow down, stop, leave this town, slow down, stop, lived to inspire, slow down, stop, leave this town.
Verse 1
I’ve been walking the same Mile, with the same smile, within this wild child, tell me how you’re living here, slow down, slow down, slow down, leaving this town
chorus
I’ve been looking, this whole time, feeling the right side, wasting my whole life, tell me how you living here.
Slow down, slow down, so I am leaving this town
