An Even More Perfect Union

[Jerry Harrison, Dan Wexler] Since you've been gone And ever since you went away It's hard to go on And it's getting harder every day I think of all the things that I've done wrong I'll never understand what took so long To see what you were feeling But I still can't let you go I can remember when you used to stand by me And people would tell you That we were never meant to be I can take the words that they can say For just another chance to make you stay And have you believe me, that the feeling's still the same I've seen the look in your eyes And I'll get it back again I feel the tears when you cry Broken hearts were made to mend I get a strength from inside When I look into your eyes I think of all the things that I've done wrong I'll never understand what took so long To see what she was feeling--what she's feeling But I still can't let her go I've made mistakes throughout my life And I just can't take them back Given the chance I would think twice Going to let her know I've seen the look in your eyes And I'll get it back again I feel the tears when you cry Broken hearts were made to mend I get a strength from inside When I look into your eyes

[Jerry Harrison, Dan Wexler] Thinking about our younger days, when we would say No one would ever get us down We'd never touch the ground Proving wrong the dis-believing people We'd take it day by day Making it play by play Living off ambition, never was an imposition We wouldn't compromise You gotta realize People gathered around and gave us reasons They kept us holding on We couldn't do any wrong Every night I'd get that same old feeling Knowing that I wouldn't feel this way again LOCAL HEROES Just LOCAL HEROES People would stand in line They didn't seem to mind LOCAL HEROES Just LOCAL HEROES Only for just one day We're gonna have our way Playing in the different towns Yeah, I'd steal the bed or you took the ground We didn't really care We got an even share Friday night at closing time we'd be there We'd share a drink or two And then we'd play right through Every night we'd get that same old feeling Knowing that we wouldn't feel this way again LOCAL HEROES Just LOCAL HEROES People would stand in line They didn't seem to mind LOCAL HEROES Just LOCAL HEROES Only for just one day We're gonna have our way Just Local Heroes, Thinking that you've got it made Just Local Heroes (Guitar Solo) Thinking about our younger days, now some would say That I just can't keep holding on To a dream thats gone No one can change the way I feel though Many years long ago Thats tomorrow HEROES Just LOCAL HEROES People would stand in line They didn't seem to mind LOCAL HEROES Just LOCAL HEROES Only for just one day We're gonna have our way Just LOCAL HEROES Just LOCAL HEROES Just LOCAL HEROES

[JERRY HARRISON] Just idle conversation Am I just passing time Lack of communication Should I even try You always talk down to me Like I'm not even there Seems like you look right through me Should I even care Well I can't stop the way I've got to feel though And I'm not turning back, won't take this life no more I keep on coming, just ONE STEP BEHIND And I'm gaining all the time I'm just ONE STEP BEHIND And I'll be here till your mine It's been a long time coming I'll need some peace of mind Everytime I start my running One step closer, two steps behind But I can't stop the way I've got to feel though And I'm not turning back, won't take this life no more I keep on coming, just ONE STEP BEHIND And I'm gaining all the time I'm just ONE STEP BEHIND And I'll be here till your mine Just a misconception To think that time would turn the tide I found a new direction to get me there I'm not complaining to ya You've been ahead for much too long Now I know I'm coming on (Guitar solo) Well I can't stop the way I've got to feel though And I'm not turning back, won't take this life no more I keep on coming ONE STEP BEHIND I'm ONE STEP BEHIND And I'm gaining all the time ONE STEP BEHIND And I'm gaining all the time I'm just ONE STEP BEHIND And I'll be here till your mine

[JERRY HARRISON] Everything that you want to say May not be what he wants to hear Isn't time that you break away Things aren't always what they appear And I know you're searching for something And I know you've waited so long Well baby I could tell you one thing Take my hand and I'll help you be strong, just WALK AWAY, Don't think about tomorrow WALK AWAY, Don't you ever look back WALK AWAY, And things will get much better WALK AWAY, WALK AWAY Does he make you feel the way I make you feel Is he closer to your heart Do you imagine for the things that should be real Must you always play that part, NO Well don't put off until tomorrow And don't you wait one more day Well I would beg, steal or borrow Just to have you and keep you from saying WALK AWAY, Don't think about tomorrow WALK AWAY, Don't you ever look back WALK AWAY, And things will get much better WALK AWAY, WALK AWAY Can you feel it It's time to let me know Can't you see that It's time to let him go I've been waiting And I've been holding on Anticipating For that moment you'll say that he'll be gone ( Guitar Solo ) There's a time to take action And there's a time to explore You can't deny this attraction Now that it's time that you made up your mind Will you take me and leave him behind Give me a signal, give me a sign You've got to WALK AWAY, Don't think about tomorrow WALK AWAY, Don't you ever look back WALK AWAY, And things will get much better WALK AWAY, WALK AWAY Just Walk Away

[Dan Wexler] Girl, you used to be a good friend But now you're just writing on the wall I know we had a good time But someone had to take a fall You tore my heart from my hands All I have left to say is Goodbye, to a long lost love Goodbye, to a long lost love, I'm thinking of tonight I know there's a time and a reason For promises made in the night The love is going to end in a fight You tore my heart from my hands All I have left to say is Goodbye, to a long lost love Goodbye, to a long lost love, I'm thinking of tonight (Guitar Solo) There's a time for believing The promises made in the night We should have listened reason We were holding on too tight Goodbye, to a long lost love Goodbye, to a long lost love, I'm thinking of tonight Goodbye, to a long lost love Goodbye, to a long lost love, I'm thinking of tonight

[Dan Wexler, Jerry Harrison] Lonely children, Waiting for the night Looking for reasons If only to survive Some runaways Left behind to make their way But you are the fortunate one Who'll break the chains And make them stay home What do we see? Looking in the eyes of those who'll never be The same as you and me The EYES OF A PRISONER Is what you'll find The EYES OF A PRISONER Seem to be left behind The angry city We've reached the danger zone A town without pity A child without a home What do they see? Looking in our eyes can we pretend to be untouched by what we see? The EYES OF A PRISONER Is what you'll find The EYES OF A PRISONER Seem to be left behind The EYES OF A PRISONER What are they searching for? The EYES OF A PRISONER You know they're deserving more Will they reach the light of day? Will they make a better way? Can we hold an open hand? Will they understand? (Guitar Solo) Runaways Left behind to make their way What can we say Are they criminals? What is it wrong Or do we know How can we see, see it in The EYES OF A PRISONER What will we find? The EYES OF A PRISONER Seem to be left behind The EYES OF A PRISONER What are they searching for? The EYES OF A PRISONER You know they're deserving more The EYES OF A PRISONER Is what you'll find The EYES OF A PRISONER Seem to be left behind The EYES OF A PRISONER What are they searching for? The EYES OF A PRISONER You know they're deserving more

[Jerry Harrison] Sometimes I talk too much And sometimes I don't say enough Some things are better left unsaid You say what's on your mind The way you tell the truth can be a crime You're talking off the top of your head It's just your fill of devotion That keeps you saying the things you do But baby I know Some things are Better Left Unsaid And better left alone Some things are Better Left Unsaid And better left alone Some things you'll never find No matter where you go or who you leave behind You better look inside instead Some things too hot to touch You know you're wrong but you push your luck Some things are better left unsaid It's just your fill of emotion That keeps you playing the games you do But baby I know Some things are Better Left Unsaid And better left alone Some things are Better Left Unsaid And better left alone In your heart beats confusion And you're talking me down But what do you know ( Guitar Solo ) Sometimes I talk too much And sometimes I don't say enough Some things are better left unsaid Some things are better left unsaid And better left alone Some things are better left unsaid You keep talking me down

[Jerry Harrison] Faded pictures, photographs Are all I have to keep you in my mind Trying hard I'm Looking back The memories that we had yet to find This feeling thats come over me Can only be, of the killing kind I never thought I'd live to see The best of me, could be left behind So I wanted to let you know We had dreams for the future And there wasn't time for us to know ( Why'd you have to go? ) That it would be left to me Left To Be Alone So many things I tried to say So many times the words got in the way Now anger turns to lonliness I can't forget the way you left Now I can never let you know How I missed you so We had dreams for the future And there wasn't time for us to know ( Why'd you have to go? ) That it would be left to me Left To Be Alone One step forward for me and two steps back I'm learning to crawl again Girl, I can't forget Girl, I still hear your voice Telling me leave here I've got to let you know We had dreams for the future And there wasn't time for us to know ( Why'd you have to go? ) That it would be left to me Left To Be Alone
