ERIC'S LYRICS

HAVE YOU EVER
ONE LAST RIDE
VOODOO NIGHT
HAVE YOU EVER been blue HAVE YOU EVER been broken hearted

That's the way I feel since I met you Look at what you started

HAVE YOU EVER watched the rain From a lonely room in the early morning

Then you might know the pain And have some idea of the longing

HAVE YOU EVER really loved Loved like it would break you in two

HAVE YOU EVER really loved me The way that I love you

HAVE YOU EVER really cried Cried so much you trembled

That's the way I cry for you My heart is not so nimble

HAVE YOU EVER caught a train Not knowing where it's going

Knowing your desire's in vain But still it keeps on growing

HAVE YOU EVER really loved Loved like it would break you in two

HAVE YOU EVER really loved me The way that I love you

Every night I must confess All this love pounding in my chest

I'm just too blind to see the signs There's just no way I'm going to make you mine

Maybe I'm a fool but I feel so alive Because of my love for you

I got three hours of sleep And three gallons of gas

I know I got to make Something happen fast

I got a face full of stubble And a suitcase full of trouble

I know that this trip May turn out to be my last

Gonna take her out for ONE LAST RIDE

Pedal to the metal, top down on Oceanside

You know there's no redeemin' When you hear those Firestones screamin'

It's the ultimate powerglide When you're out for ONE LAST RIDE

Yeah I'm out for ONE LAST RIDE Yeah I'm out for ONE LAST RIDE Gonna ride baby!

Going down to Mexico It's the only place I know

My good friend squealed Now I have to blow

I know I shouldn't have told her Now I'll never make the border

I'll be a dead man with all this dough Gonna take her out for ONE LAST RIDE...

Take me to a lake just before the flood

Tie me to a stake and draw some blood

Painted faces dancing naked

Under the moonlight on the delta mud

I'm the offering on a VOODOO NIGHT

Spanish moss hangs down just like ghosts

Souls departed from their hosts

Tribal drums have begun

From my blood you drink a toast

I'm the offering on a VOODOO NIGHT

My fate is out of my hands

I just don't understand

How I came under your command On a VOODOO NIGHT

FUNKY SITUATION
LOVE JUNKY
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE
Didn't know you were a star Til I got inside your car

Rich boy smirk in a shiny Merc You just loved to watch me work

Here, let me, I'm going to set you free We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION

We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION Hollywood is my livelihood

My name is Valentine I work Hollywood and Vine

If you got the change I'll do something strange

Yes, that can be arranged Leather and whips, I'll put a smile on your lips

We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION Hollywood is my livelihood

I'm gonna give you a whirl Not like your preppy girl

That stuck up b**** Just 'cause she's rich

She don't know how to scratch your itch But me, you'll see, I'll give you ecstasy!

We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION Hollywood is my livelihood

I'm a LOVE JUNKY And tonight I need a fix

I'm a LOVE JUNKY Just one of many love addicts

My mind is racing When you look in my direction

Might as well face it You're gonna be my new connection

I'm a LOVE JUNKY That's all I'm living for

I'm a LOVE JUNKY And tonight I gotta score

When will I find true happiness Decades of discontent for one minute of bliss

How did I get myself in such a mess Too many nights alone out in the world I guess

Now I'm a LOVE JUNKY I've got that monkey on my back

It's that love monkey Keeps me getting on with my mack

You've got the needle And baby I've got the spoon

We'll put them together In some dark and lonely room

I'm a LOVE JUNKY...

What can I do, what can I say To make you love me, to make you stay

All these memories burn in my brain Why do I love you when you don't remain

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE on me tonight

My room is so cold and the night so dark I have no match to make a spark

I feel you glowing on the other side Why aren't you showing the things you always hide

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE on me tonight

You've got a fire that burns deep inside You've got a fire that I've always been denied

The house is so dark now that you're gone There's a draft of cold wind where it used to be warm

I know we've been here before and may be again I need you back at my door, I need a friend

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE on me tonight
