LITA FORD LYRICS

1. Black


Black, is it dark enough?
Is it hot or cold or stark enough?
Black, is it dirty or sad?
Is it old or cruel or broken or bad?
Black, is it all you see
When you close your eyes, you think of me?
Black, black, black
Black, is it nightmare or dream?
Is it midnight sky or silent scream?
Black, is it the chains you wear?
Or the color of the cross you bear?
Black, is it what you hate?
The hangman's hood or the offering plate?
Black, black, black
Is it the shame that drives you back?
Is it the train that jumps the track
Just as you're slipping through the cracks?
Black, black
Black, is it your medicine
Your soul, your hole or the shape you're in?
Black, is it your wedding gown
Your eyes, your lies or the truth you've found?
Black, is it beautiful?
Is it animal or criminal?
Black, black, black
Is it the shame that burns your soul?
Is it the fear you can't control?
Is it the night that won't let go?
Black, black
Black, is it the enemy
That hides inside of you and me?
Black, is it the preacher's cloak
Your father's curse or your mother's joke?
Black, is it the pain you own
Or the plague that's eating at your bones?
Black, black, black
Is it the ashes of your dreams?
Is it the nature of your greed?
Is it the walls between you and me?
Black, black
Black
Black


2. Fall


Words are spoken
Swallowed in vain
Slowly, I'm chokin'
I cough it up, cough it up, cough it up again
Familiar, familiar
Laughin', laughin' at the man who
Never had a chance to dream your dreams
Find it funny here today, you know
But, if by tomorrow
You might wonder then
Why your seeds are weeds
Familiar, familiar
Familiar, is it familiar?
Open up
There's a river in us all
Open up
From the cradle where we crawl
Open up
It's so unusual
Open up
'Cause sittin' on the wall
Everybody's got to
Fall
Oh, show me
Show me a reason
A reason for, anything I see
Round and round and round and round, we go
What happened to my brother?
Will his flowers wither?
Just like me, yeah
Familiar, familiar
Familiar, is it familiar?
Open up
There's a river in us all
Open up
From the cradle where we crawl
Open up
It's so unusual
Open up
While you're sittin' on the wall
Everybody's got to
Fall, yeah
I am no preacher
I know no teachings
Sway my mind, dear
With your primal screechings
Buried under
Your plastic cover
You are me
And I am you
Open up There's a river in us all
Open up
From the cradle where we crawl
Open up
It's so unusual
Open up
Yeah, yeah
Open up
There's a river in us all
Open up
From the cradle where we crawl
Open up
It's so unusual
Open up
'Cause while you're sittin' on the wall
Everybody's got to
Fall
Everybody's got to
Fall
Everybody's got to
Fall


3. Loverman


When the river don't run
And the night won't fall
When I fear the touch
Of the highway's call
When I close my eyes
And the dreams won't come
When the world has set me free
Will you still be with me?
My Loverman
When the moon turns red
And the sun burns black
When the reaper's whip
Falls across my back
Will you lay me down
On a bed of stone
In that long and silent sleep
Will you be with me?
What if I just go flying away?
What would you say?
Would you wait a million years?
Would you cry a million tears for me?
Or would you take my hand?
Would you fly away with me?
Would you be with me?
Loverman
When the hour glass is broken
And the final word is spoken
When fate has lost it's power
This word will still be ours
Loverman
Oh, my Loverman
Yeah
What if I just go flying away?
What would you say?
Would you steal me from the cold?
Would you lead me to my soul again?
And when we reach the end, when we face eternity
Would you be with me, my Loverman?
Oh, Loverman
Yeah
When the river don't run
And the night won't fall
When I fear the touch
Of the highway's call
When I close my eyes
And the dreams won't come
And the world has set me free, yeah
When the moon turns red
And the sun burns black
When the reaper's whip
Across my back
Will you lay me down
Will you lay me down
On a bed of stone
In that long and silent sleep
Loverman
Loverman
Oh, Loverman.


4. Killin' Kind


Did the lights go out forever?
Has the night just gone insane?
Did what's broken fall together?
Has my heart gone down in flames?
Though I heard your lies, I can't deny
I canker for the feeling
And I know it's wrong, but I'm hanging on
Crying in my sleep
So wrong
I'm over my head
So right
I'm out of my mind
Your love is the killin' kind
Two hearts
You swallow my heart
One life
Like you swallow my life
Your love is the killin' kind
If I only could remember
Why I let you in so deep
If I'd only known you better
I could have put these dreams to sleep
Well, you haunt me now, you wear me down
Get me where I'm weak
Yeah, you twist the knife
Your sacrifice
Bring me to my knees
So wrong
I'm over my head
So right
I'm out of my mind
Your love is the killin' kind
Two hearts
You swallow my heart
One life
Like you swallow my life
Your love is the killin' kind
I know
I know if the end of the world falls in your arms
I'll remember, every tear I've ever cried for you
Baby
Baby, when I said I'd die for you
I lied
So wrong
I'm over my head
So right
I'm out of my mind
Your love is the killin' kind
Two hearts
You swallow my heart
One life
Like you swallow my life
Your love is the killin' kind
So wrong
I'm over my head
So right
I'm out of my mind
Your love is the killin' kind
Two hearts
You swallow my heart
One life
Like you swallow my life
Your love is the killin' kind, yeah
So wrong
So right
Your love
Your love is the killin' kind
Two hearts
One life
Your love
Your love is the killin' kind
So wrong
So right
Your love
Is the killin' kind


5. Hammerhead


He sees himself as a warrior
In a world that doesn't understand
A demon light fills the eyes
Of this mechanical man
He's a living, breathing nightmare
He's twisted and he's mean
In his head, the walking dead
Are his war secret machine
Oh, Hammerhead
He was just a lonely boy
Before the demons took control
His sanity, humanity
Lost somewhere long ago
Now the poisons in his memory
Are clogging up his veins
And the loneliness like a devil's kiss
Has gone straight to his brain
Oh, Hammerhead
Oh, Hammerhead
Now he's lost within his madness
And more and more each day
The metal man turns his hand
To the price the world must pay
Hammerhead
Oh, Hammerhead
Oh, Hammerhead


6. Boilin' Point


Caught in the sights of a killin' fire
On streets filled with ashes and smoke
Flames reaching up to a dirty sky
Like some kind of sick deadly joke
Can't stop what hate started
There's no coolin' down
I'm past the Boilin' Point now
Every day my TV screen
Is pushin' me to make somebody bleed
The chains 'round your neck got me wonderin'
How you'll ever get the freedom that you need
Can't turn this world into heaven
By burning it down to the ground
I'm on fire
I'm burnin' up
My temperature's risin', point of no return
Watch out or you just might burn
Can't stop what hate started
There's no coolin' down
I'm past the Boilin' Point now
The walls fall down like dominoes
Nobody's left to pay what's due
Too many crazy people runnin' 'round
Starting wars between me and you
Can't stop what love started
Can't bring us down
We're past the Boilin' Point now
I'm on fire
I'm burnin' up
My temperature's risin', point of no return
Watch out or you just might burn


7. Where Will I Find My Love Tonight


I found hunger in the fields of plenty
I found freedom in a ball and chain
I found madness in the voice of reason
I found mercy at the hangman's gate
I've held the world in the palm of my hand
And watched as it slipped through my fingers like sand
Here I am alone again
Where do I turn
When all I see around me is a lie?
If I close my eyes
Where will I find my heart tonight?
I know all my dreams have fallen on hard times
And I'm so cold inside
Where will I find my heart tonight?
I found peace in the heat of the battle
I found treason in the eyes of a friend
I found hate in the words of a preacher
I found fortune in a beggar's hands
I close my eyes and pray for the light
To guide my way
Into the night, I fall
And the world is crashin' down around my soul
Why do I turn
When all I see around me is a lie?
If I close my eyes
Where will I find my heart tonight?
I know all my dreams have fallen on hard times
And I'm so cold inside
Where will I find my heart tonight?
I have searched a thousand years
Through the darkness and the tears
And I don't think I can take another night
Without you here
Where do I turn
When all I see around me is a lie?
If I close my eyes
Where will I find my heart tonight?
I know all my dreams have fallen on hard times
And I'm so cold inside
Where will I find my heart tonight?
Where will I find my heart tonight?


8. War Of The Angels


She runs through the streets
So desperately young
Her eyes aflame
And her mind undone
She aches for the songs
That will never be sung
And the heroes so quickly forgotten
She sees a friend
In the church yard light
Laughin' and jokin'
And talkin' to the sky
Shots ring out
And he hits the ground
He never opens his eyes
And she cries
Heaven is closed to the angels below
Streets of gold are now paved with sorrow
God only knows what happens to love
When the innocence is gone
And the war of the angels has begun
The ghosts in her head
Have faces and names
They're soldiers and children
All one in the same
In the streets and the alleys
Hear the battle cries sound
And the angels run for cover
As the world comes tumbling down
All through the night the battle is fought
They can never win back the lives they've lost
Down on her knees, in the tear stained dawn
She just closes her eyes and whispers goodbye
Heaven is closed to the angels below
Streets of gold are now paved with sorrow
God only knows what happens to love
When the innocence is gone
And the war of the angels is never won
Another day in the neighborhood
Better dry your eyes and be off to school
She packs her lunch and her daddy's gun
Seems much too old to be so young
The battle begins the day that you're born
Into this world, so heartsick and war torn
Somebody better come and carry her away
Maybe this angel will live...
To fly again someday
Heaven is closed to the angels below
Streets of gold are now paved with sorrow
God only knows what happens to love
When the innocence is gone
And the war of the angels rages on
Rages on
Oh, yeah, yeah


9. Joe


Twenty-one, so young and tender but blue
I remember, I remember laughing for no reason with you
Laughing
Sharing a bottle on the stairs
That led to your wooden room
Full of cigarettes and green glass bottles
Yesterday's meal by the mattress on the floor
Where we danced...
In the garden below your window
Where I first began to know
To know you
Joe
Whisper the memory but not too loud
Remember the symphony when we were allowed, to play?
Touch my hand, show me how, stroke my brow
I need to know now that I can dance with you
I wanna dance with you, I wanna dance
Like I did when I first began to know you, Joe
A now I gotta say
I think I wanna ride
I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet
I think I wanna ride
I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet
So I'm sittin' here with the sun about to smile
About to show it's face and take away my little fantasy
Break out the phonograph, play some "Billie" for me
One more time before I go
Let it shine, shine, shine, shine on me
I think I wanna know, wanna know you, Joe
I think I wanna ride
I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet
I think I wanna ride
I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet
I think I wanna ride
I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet
Sit down in the back room
And throw me over the bar
Fly me up to your sky, moon
A-now
A-beep-bop-ba-da-dee-yah
A-what?
Oh, that's it
I know it sounds kinda crazy
I think I wanna know, wanna know you, Joe
Yeah!
I think I wanna ride
I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet
I think I wanna ride
I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet
I think I wanna ride
And I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet
I think I wanna ride
Well, I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet
Yeah, yeah...


10. White Lightnin'


I was born to a gypsy woman
With lightnin' crashing all around my crib
Doctor took one look, he started runnin'
He got two steps an' lightnin' struck him dead
The wind was howlin' like the devil come knockin'
The house came down, the cradle was rockin'
He called out for a hoodoo man
With a rock 'n' roll attitude
He made a sign with his mo-jo hand
And the lightnin' done struck him blue
I jumped out of that cradle
Grabbed a black cat bone and said
"Mama, don't you worry, I was born to storm."
When lightnin' strikes and the walls fall down
I'm a wild cat, baby, when the thunder sounds
When lightnin' strikes, white lightnin'
And double or nothin'
Baby, pull my switch
I got a six string hammer
Gonna scratch this itch
I'm a white witch, honey
With long blonde hair
Won't you step into my 'lectric chair
When lightnin' strikes and the walls fall down
I'm a wild cat, baby, when the thunder sounds
When lightnin' strikes, white lightnin'
White, White Lightnin'
White, White Lightnin'
White, White Lightnin'
Comin' at you tonight, comin' at you tonight, comin' at you
When lightnin' strikes and the walls fall down
I'm a white witch, honey, when the thunder sounds
When lightnin' strikes and the walls fall down
I'm a wild cat, baby, when the thunder sounds
When lightnin' strikes, white lightnin'
Lightnin' strikes, white lightnin'
Yeah, rock me right outta my crib
Put on the floor, hah, I almost cracked open my head
Whoa, baby


11. Smokin' Toads




12. Spider Monkeys


I'm a Spider Monkey, baby
Gonna crawl all over you
I'm a Spider Monkey, baby
Gonna crawl all over you
And I'm gonna love you, baby
This spider monkey do, oh, yeah
I've been swingin' in this jungle
Ever since I was a child
I've been swingin' in this jungle
Ever since I was a baby child
And I'm gonna wait for you darlin'
Come and join me in the wild
I'm a Spider Monkey, baby
Just can't keep me down
I'm a Spider Monkey, baby
Never touch the ground
Won't you swing with me, honey
Down in Spider Monkey town
I'm a Spider Monkey, baby
Gonna get you in my tree
I'm a Spider Monkey, sugar
I'm gonna get you in my tree
Come on, sweet baby
Do that monkey thing with me
Spider Monkey, baby
Oh, yeah
Spider Monkey
I'm a Spider Monkey, baby
I'll get you in my tree.
