To the edge of me And the night was full of stars We made love in the car And we carved our love in a heart on the witness tree And swore we’d raise our kids in Ellwood City You went away to school They all fell for you (like I knew they would) You wrote that we were through Nothing I could do I knew I couldn’t give you The life you wanted to live I knew that you would die Before you ever lived If you stayed in Ellwood City I heard you married him Had his kids and moved away But I’m still here and I’m still singing It helps me ease the pain I hope he’s been good to you I heard you lost your smile But the witness tree has withstood the test of time Still stands up for you and me In Ellwood City LOVE ME WITH THE LIGHT ON (Avsec) Music: Avsec, Goll, Hoenes, Ierace, Foster Babe, I know you’re alone Dancing on your bed You know your old man is flying From LA to Long Island So dance for me instead And though you’re dancing in the darkness I know you dig it ‘cause I’m watching Even though you only touch me with the drapes drawn Even though you never kiss me with your guard down Even though you never love me with the light on me The neighbors would not understand The neighbors could not understand Babe, I know you’re on fire You’re burning with desire You know my old heart is aching This old ladder’s shaking I can’t wait to come up for love Too bad your man, he doesn’t kiss you And when you leave, he’s gonna miss you Even though you only touch me with the drapes drawn Even though you never kiss me with your guard down Even though you never love me with the light on me The children would not understand Darling, I miss you badly You know I love you madly There’s got to be a better way Rip off the shades and curtains Show the world that we’re certain It’s time we greet the light of day NO REST FOR THE WICKED (Avsec) Music: Avsec, Goll, Hoenes, Ierace, Valentine I wear an “A” on my chest And it won’t rub off I’ve been beating my breast But it won’t come off I work all night in a smoky club Spend all day eating wheat flag sludge I really need to get some sleep I really need to have some peace I really need to get relief No rest for the wicked tonight So I pick up my ball and chain And I go back to work again I give you all my pay What the governor don’t take I wish that I could take a break Whatever I did was a big mistake No rest for the wicked tonight I hang onto the hope we’ll see the promised land Where there is sunshine, it makes everything look grand I really need to get some sleep I really need to have some peace I really need to get relief No rest for the wicked tonight LOVE MESSIAH (Avsec) Music: Avsec, Goll, Hoenes, Ierace, Valentine I wake up, just another day And you’re not here I get up and I wash my face You’re in the mirror I see you in every girl So I give her a whirl But now I am so unfurled I’m tired, sick and tired of one night stands Day after day Night after night Save me, baby Save me, love messiah I’m so tired of Looking for true love Be my baby Be my love messiah I go down to punch the clock Ruled by the dead hand of the past I’m so numb I don’t feel the shock As the empty minutes pass I don’t feel that I feel enough I wish I could feel your touch But the weight, it’s just too much And I’m tired of mediocrity Day after day Night after night Save me, baby Save me, love messiah I’m so tired of Looking for true love Be my baby Be my love messiah I want to see what it is YOU GOT MY BODY (YOU DON’T HAVE MY SOUL) (Avsec) Music: Avsec, Ierace, Valentine I gotta work for your minimum wage I gotta

No, no, no I walked into the factory Foreman said, “you’re late again,” Said, “One more time and you’ll be through.” Then he looked me up and down, said “Man, you really need this job because You have nothing else you can do.” I looked him in the eye, said “Man, you must be high. Who are you to tell me what you think I can do? You’re gonna be here the rest of your life. But I am through.” TUESDAY MORNING (Avsec) Music: Avsec Monday I washed all your clothes You packed them in a case You couldn’t get it closed We laughed And then We lied down We had a drink and then We made love again Until we slept Tuesday morning I shook you September morning The sky was blue Tuesday morning Then it changed From bright to dark From blue to grey From innocence to wickedness From confidence to suspicion Tuesday morning I kissed you September morning The sky was blue Tuesday morning It all changed From bright to dark From blue to grey From innocence To wickedness From confidence To suspicion Tuesday morning Tuesday morning Tuesday morning Tuesday morning Tuesday morning Tuesday morning I miss you We miss you WITH THIS RING (Avsec) Music by Mark Avsec (Based on Pathetique Sonata, by Ludwig Van Beethoven) With this ring I take you as my own With this yellow band of gold Lover, I do With these lips I promise to be true Kiss you, breathe you Lover, I do With this ring I take you as my bride Witness my sweet surrender Lover, I do I love you JEZEBEL (non-album track) (Avsec) Music: Avsec, Goll, Hoenes, Ierace, Foster I am feeling so _____ Like there's nothing I can do Who will stop these _____ Who will make me feel again Jezebel Ho-mi-ho-li-hi Ho-mi-ho-li-hi Need someone to talk to Need someone to care for me Someone to waste time for me One to blow my mind for me Jezebel Ho-mi-ho-li-hi Ho-mi-ho-li-hi I can't believe I am falling (My heart invested in the wishing well) Then I slipped and fell The baggage is heavy (Grab a hold of her cause she won't kiss and tell) My Jezebel Fun to waste her time for me Fun to blow my mind for me Jezebel Ho-mi-ho-li-hi Ho-mi-ho-li-hi HARD SPOT (non-album track) (Avsec) Music: Avsec, Goll, Hoenes, Ierace, Foster I got a girl She don't care When I'm with you She's not there I got a job It don't pay I got 5 kids So I stay I go to bed hungry Cause she doesn't let me eat I'm getting worn and wrinkled Cause she doesn't let me drink But if I should stray She's gonna make me pay And if I stay I'm gonna wallow You bleed, I follow Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit) Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit) Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit) Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit) I'm skin and bones But I got soul With nothing doin' And no place to go I go to church All they do is talk I pet my dog He wants to go for a walk He leads, I follow Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit) Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit) Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit) Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit) He's in the middle of a book he don't read Just counting the words He struggles to breathe (Smokin' Marty Lee guitar solo) You lead, I follow Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit) Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit) Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit) Sittin in a hard spot (Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)
