Ever since the world began
I been searchin' & searchin' & searchin' for you.
Off guard...the music so wild
Dreams of the night...what a vision it's true.
So high.....little passionate child
In a flash......I knew it was love.
Heat rising......from the call
Hit me so hard like a bolt from above.
. . . When I first saw you!
Don't need a shot to ease this pain
Let me in....I just wanna be close.
Fan the flame that is burnin' her heart
Feed the fire that is burnin' the most
Enticing eyes....hyponotize
Like a black cat that won't let up
Those eyes you just can't hide
Pulses racing ....you can't stop
I'm on fire with love.
I'm on fire
In love with you. In love with you.
I'm on fire with love.
I'm on fire
In love with you. In love with you.
Some say just stay away
Don't ya know she's as bad as they come.
Burnin' my brain.....goin' insane
Out to the edge of delerium.
No need to reset the score
Chains of love so sweet.
She's got a hold.
I'm just a slave to her......
I'm on fire with love.
I'm on fire
In love with you. In love with you.
I'm on fire with love.
I'm on fire
In love with you. In love with you.
No one knows when it will knock on your door,
You may be a wealthy man or be a beggarman so poor.
It can bring you pleasure, it can also bring you pain.
It can take a sane man and drive him up the wall 'till he's insane!
Love is a killer.
Love is a killin' thing.
Love can make you crazy, it can make you want to sing
But love is a killin' thing.
I said love is a killin' thing.
I have felt the passion, I've been down on the floor,
Love has been my downfall I guess you've heard it all before.
Someday you'll see the reason for all the hell I've been through,
But I can tell you one thing that it could happen to you.
Love is a killer.
Love is a killin' thing.
Love can make you crazy, it can make you want to sing
But love is a killin' thing.
I said love is a killin' thing.
PEARLS
Storms brewing 'cross the shore.
The Northwest winds they whip the trees today.
White caps start to turn and twist away
You're gone.
Yeah oh yeah yeah.
Going down the road it can't be so bad.
Memories sweet the dreams you had.
Going the coast, down to Alex Bay
Moving so fast I got to getaway.
Pearls against the tide
Waiting out the storm
On a wild ride.
Pearls against the tide
Yeah oh yeah yeah.
Thinkin' 'bout the rain and all that's lost.
Lies he said, the old albatross.
Setting a trap don't want to get it all back.
Checking the dates in my almanac.
Pearls against the tide.
Waiting out the storm
On a wild ride
Pearls against the tide.
Storms brewing 'cross the shore.
The Northwest winds they whip the trees today
You're gone. Yeah oh yeah.
BH: Yah oughta be ashamed a yahselves!
(big laughs) [Diner talk. . . on the way back from Louisville, KY heard from a chamber maid back at the Holiday Inn after surveying the rooms after a wild night]

JC: Yeah, right. I know, right. A beer and a cigarette and a big fat . . . (laughs)
Gas Attendant: That's cool, man!
JC: She thinks I'm wierd.
JC: I'll always be bad. I'll always be 16 years old. . . mentally. . . always.
[Jim does kick drum roll. Louisville]
Random conversation: I am going to die. There is definitely a puddle under me. (laughs) A puddle? Are you talkin' puddle?
BH: Yah oughta be ashamed a yahselves!
[more random conversation but edited out. . . ]
Come on, pretty baby
Come and take a ride with me.
Go and get your leather on
We're headin' out to be free.
Take your soul to the edge
Then step on over the line.
Speeding down---the highway now
We're gonna have a real good time. Yeah!
Runnin' with the WILD ONES. Oh Yeah
We're the WILD ONES.
Like Marlon Brando
So many years ago
Going on a long hard ride
The only way to go.
Passing everything in sight
The tach is in the red.
Hang on tight---the weather's right
There's nothing but the road ahead.
Yeah!
Runnin' with the WILD ONES. Oh Yeah
We're the WILD ONES.
We're the WILD ONES.
We're the WILD ONES.
Can you feel it
In your wild heart?
Can you feel it
Burnin' like a fire?
Yeah Yeah we're the WILD ONES
And we're diamonds in the rough.
Keep on shining
Got to play it tough.
Livin' on dangers edge
Going down all the way.
Gotta need---for some speed
Cruisin' all night and day. Yeah!
Runnin' with the WILD ONES Oh Yeah
We're the WILD ONES.
(You better run!)
DREAMLAND
The fantasy unfolds in stages
The lady waits and counts the pages.
She lives her life in Dreamland
She sees a world with deep emotion
With rainbow skies and perfect motion.
Nights of love in Dreamland
Come back again cries the lonely.
From castles come her one and only.
Love will find a way in Dreamland.
Words of love have now been spoken.
Promises will soon be broken.
Off she goes to Dreamland.
Dreamland. . . Dreamland.
MYSTERY VOICE: Yo, Bouchard,
I wanna give you a lotta money.
Give me a call.
Forget about the people suing you, man.
You be on easy street.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah trust me, man
Yeah, yeah, yeah trust me
Yeah, yeah, yeah trust me, man, trust me.
Rollin' down the open road
In a red, rock 'n' roll van.
Flying down the highway,
Got to make it
To the show tonight.
Overloaded to the roof.
Sleepin' on the Marshall amps.
Flyin' past the radar traps.
Faster than the speed of light
A party will ignite.
This is the Time!
This is the Place.
On the road..............
Jimmy's moving in to make a score.
A tattooed lady waiting by his door.
On a trip down south
Lying on a hot sand beach
Entertaining through the night
The rock show
You can't resist.
This is the Time.
This is the Place.
On the road..............
Rollin' down the open road
In a red, rock Śn' roll van.
Flying down the highway
Got to make it
To the show tonight.
Is this all a dream
you had? or was it
the daydream blues,
a little fantasy
that you can't refuse.
This is the Time.
This is the Place.
On the road..............
Mmmm . . .
Mmmm . . .
I wanna surf across the ocean
But it's too late to live that dream.
Diving' down . . . Deep down
Far below the deep blue waters.
An apparition from the sea
Her blinding light . . . called to me.
Oooo, Ooo . . . ooo . . . The Girl from the Dream Machine.
Oooo, Ooo . . . ooo . . . The Girl from the Dream Machine.
Floating Ścross some distant season
Caught in a time . . . alone.
There was this crystal vision
Just beyond the pounding waves.
Diving' down . . . Deep down
Far below the deep blue waters.
An apparition from the sea
Her blinding light . . . called to me.
Oooo, Ooo . . . ooo . . . The Girl from the Dream Machine.
Oooo, Ooo . . . ooo . . . The Girl from the Dream Machine.
Oooo, Ooo . . . ooo . . . The Girl from the Dream Machine.
Oooo, Ooo . . . ooo . . . You can synthesize your own reality.
[Freakin' Bridge]
Oooo, Ooo . . . ooo . . . The Girl from the Dream Machine.
Near the end, I lost my vision.
With a shift of the tides, the girl was gone.
Diving' down . . . Deep down
Far below the deep blue waters.
Deep down the clear blue water.
An apparition from the sea
Her blinding light . . . still calls to me.
Oooo, Ooo . . . ooo . . . The Girl from the Dream Machine.
BH: Sir!
JC: Let's go, Joe. Shower!
AH: Once more. . . You've got the cemetary up ahead.
JC: People are dying to get in that place.
AH: Once more.
Comedian: Move the lava lamp I can't see ya.
BH: Man, we're gonna bootleg it. We're gonna sell this for big money.
Comedian: I can't hear ya. I gotta deal with . . .
Tag: I tell ya . . . do some more lesbian jokes!
BH: . . . we're gonna bootleg it. We're gonna sell this for big money . . .big money . . .(big money . . .big money . . .big money . . .)
[Train efx]
AH: Later.
I got myself a percentage of the gross.
Singer's stoned, raving mad, just leaning on a post.
All the people come down.
Paper planes and foolin' around. . .
Strikes a chord in their heart.
Forgotten lives
And vast amounts
Breaking the bank tonight.
All things paramount.
All things paramount.
Play away the days down a rocky road.
Riding out a heavy trip where you might explode.
All the people come down.
Paper planes and foolin' around. . .
Strikes a chord in their heart.
Forgotten lives
And vast amounts
Breaking the bank tonight.
All things paramount.
Streets filled with sadness.
You try and stop the madness.
Precious life filled with decay.
All is lost.
You waste the day, hey, hey.
All things paramount.
All things paramount.
All things paramount.
Hot sand, desert sun
Outlaw on the run
On the run.
Moon and stars, dead guitars
Empty heart, riding alone
On the run.
I just wanna know
When will this runnin' be over.
Been travelin' too damn long
Can't seem to find my song.
Now I know it's all gone
But I Run To the Sun
Run for the Sun will Burn You.
Ride the range, still the same
Saddle sore, drinkin' strong
On the Run.
Whips crack, crashin' down
Sixguns, hear the sound
On the Run.
I just wanna know
When will this runnin' be over.
Been travelin' too damn long
Can't seem to find my song.
Now I know it's all gone.
But I Run To the Sun
Runnin' for the Sun will Burn You.
I don't give a damn
Where all the times have gone to.
Tired of your killin' love
Now I'm out for my fun.
And I'm gonna shoot for the sun.
