Downtown

Get to the heart
Baby, the heart of the city
Meet me in a fire fight
Of lusty boys in candlelight
Beat to the heart, baby the heart of the city
Veins pop and cry for more
And lick it off the killing floor

D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-d-downtown akron!

Move to the beat. baby the beat of the city
Rubber glove me when you love me
Promise me protection
Dance to the heat, baby the heat of the city
Glorify my oozing head
And raise me from the living dead

D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-d-downtown akron!

Downtown me - baby strip me
Chop me, adopt me, bend me like a rubber dolly
Downtown me - demolition me
Raise me, appraise me, the portage hotel and me
Downtown me - with a lobotomy
Take me to the cuyahoga valley and make a man of me

Get to the heart, baby the heart of the city
Say you love it when you shove it
Don't be sentimental
Move to the heart, baby - the heart of the city
This is where the future lies
Beneath the burning sulphur skies

D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-d-downtown akron!

"Don't Get Me Wrong"

Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by

Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong

Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile

Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile

Once in awhile
Two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere
Who can explain the thunder and rain
But there's something in the air

Don't get me wrong
If I come and go like fashion
I might be great tomorrow
But hopeless yesterday

Don't get me wrong
If I fall in the 'mode of passion'
It might be unbelievable
But let's not say so long
It might just be fantastic
Don't get me wrong

"Nothing Breaks Like A Heart"

You don't love me anymore
I can feel it
But I want you more than before
So I conceal it

Walk on, walk on baby
Don't look back
This happy face is just a disguise
Oh baby, when love dies

Nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Glass shatters, even cars fall apart
Nothing breaks like a heart

When you walked out
At first I celebrated
But this footloose fancy
Free stuff's overrated

Oh, I got my way
Now I'm free to roam
These tears of laughter are just lies
Oh baby, when love dies

Nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Glass shatters, even cars fall apart
Nothing breaks like a heart

Oh, oh, oh, I feel so bad, bad, bad
Oh, oh, oh, I'm so sad, sad, sad
I wasn't this shook in the L.A. earthquake
How much one heart break?

You don't love me anymore
I can feel it
But I want you more than before
So I conceal it

Walk on, walk on baby
Don't look back
This crumbling heart is no surprise
Oh baby, when love dies

Nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Glass shatters, even cars fall apart
Nothing breaks like a heart

Oh, nothing breaks like a heart
Oh, nothing breaks like a heart
Oh, nothing breaks like a heart

"The Last Ride"

I made my bed but I couldn't sleep in it
With the man in red tracking me minute by minute
Running like a horse
Always looking behind me
But of course he would always find me

[Chorus:]
Hey buddy
Hey friend
My pal
My brother
We take shelter in each other
I'll keep it simple
You keep it true
I owe my last ride to you

Heaven and hell ride in tandem
I used to mix them up at random
I spent my youth on a reckless futile race
Where love and truth could never place

[Chorus]

After all, nobody can save
The mortal body from the grave
Who can arrest the soul's sad journey in its plight?
- one more day to get it right

I decided to stop dying
No more cheatin' no more lyin'
What kind of club opens its gates to sinners like me?
And bids them forth unto eternity

[Chorus]

Under the buckeye trees
Where the rubber city grew
I owe the last ride to you
