Rock And Roll Is Dead
Written by Lenny Kravitz
You think you're on top of the world
But you know it's really over
Runnin' round with diamond rings
And coke spoons that are overflowin'
Rock an Roll is dead
But all the money in the world
Can't buy you from the place you're going to
Rock an Roll is dead
Rock an Roll is dead
Rock an Roll is dead
You can't even sing or play an instrument
So you just scream instead
You're living for an image
So you got five hundred women in your bed
Rock an Roll is dead
But it's real hard to be yourself
When you're living with those demons
In your head
Rock an Roll is dead
Rock an Roll is dead
Rock an Roll is dead
Circus
Written by Gerry DeVeaux / Terry Britten
One day while I was searching
For what I'll never find
She walked into my story
Said she could change my mind
This is the final offer
She said to make it quick
Don't lose out on this wonder
So I had to place my bet
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
Never know which way to go
It might not be right
So you better be strong
What kind of circus is this?
What kind of fools are we?
When is the final curtain?
What can I do to set me free?
Welcome to the real world
You better be strong
Never know which way to go
It might end up wrong
So you better be strong
Too many games we have to play
They always change the rules
You and me just trying to get along
What can I do?
Got to be strong
She walked into my daydream
She told me how it had to be
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
Never know which way to go
It might not be right
Welcome to the real world
You got to be strong
Never know which way to go
It might end up wrong
Welcome to the picture show
It might end up wrong
So you better be strong
You got to be strong
You better be strong
Beyond The 7th Sky
Written by Lenny Kravitz / Craig Ross
Beyond the 7th sky
There's a room where we are with God
Beyond the sun and moon
Where the angels will be our guard
Where the weather doesn't change
Everday is summer
As the sands are numbered
Instead of cannonball grey
Do you think it's kinda strange?
Or can we be lovers?
As the spirit covers our electrified rage
Hold me mama
And we'll fly across the sea
Way beyond the moon and stars and sky
I'm talkin' bout you and God and I
Now that the time is near
I'm ready I have no fear
I know you're the one my dear
The stars will come out tonight
In time for our sacred flight
Together we'll be for life
And I will burn in your flame
Kiss me baby
Take my hand and come with me
I'm talkin' bout the moon and stars and sky
I'm talkin' bout you and God and I
Let's take it to the place where life was formed
And to the place where Jesus Christ was born
Tunnel Vision
Written by Lenny Kravitz
All I want
Is all you got
Make me happy baby
And I'll make it hot
I don't need no doctor
To tell me what to do
'Cause I know I'm goin'
Straight ahead for you
I got that tunnel vision goin' through my head
I can't helf myself all I see is red
Tunnel vision goin' through my head
Lay me down inside your flying bed
All that's yours
And all that's mine
We'll put together baby
And we can combine
We don't need no lawyer
Let's not make this long
We just need a love thing
That's beautiful and strong
I got that tunnel vision
Goin' through my head
I can't helf myself all I see is red
Tunnel vision goin' through my head
Lay me down inside your flying bed
Tunnel vision goin' through my head
I can't helf myself all I see is red
Tunnel vision goin' through my head
Lay me down inside your flying bed
Make it funky now etc.
Can't Get You Off My Mind
Written by Lenny Kravitz
Life is just a lonely highway
I'm out here on the open road
I'm old enough to se behind me
But young enough to feel my soul
I don't wanna lose you baby
And I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna live my days without you
But for now I've got to be without you
I've got a pocket full of money
And pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But then I think of lovin'
And I just can't get you off of my mind
Babe can't you see
That this is killing me
I don't want to push you baby
And I don't want you to be told
It's just that I can't breathe without you
Feel like I'm gonna lose control
I've got a pocket full of money oh yes I do
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But when it comes to lovin'
I just can't get you off of my mind
Am I a fool to think that there's a little hope tell me baby
What are the rules the reasons and the do's and don'ts
Tell me baby tell me baby
What do you feel inside?
I've got a pocket full of money
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds oh yeah
But when it comes down to lovin'
I just can't get you off of my mind
I just can't get you off of my mind
Magdalena
Written by Lenny Kravitz
She was only seventeen
In her prime of life she was lean
And her only dream was to be on the silver screen
She hailed from north of Baltimore
Her mama says she'd end up a whore
And she spent up all her dough at the movie show
She's all go go go yeah yeah
She wears her pants on her hips too low
She learned it all in magazines
She's Magdalene
Ain't it funny how the sun shines?
She was only seventeen
She packed her bag and went to the scene
She said I'm gonna take on this town I'm gonna be the queen
She mingled like she'd been there before
She worked it till they hollered for more
Then she took off all her clothes
Now everbody knows
She's all go go go yeah yeah
She wears her pants on her hips too low
She learned it all in magazines
She's Magdalene
Ain't it funny how the sun shines?
God Is Love

God is love
Through all your trials and tribulations
God is love
He'll get you through all situations

Thin Ice
Written by Lenny Kravitz / Craig Ross
You must be walking
On shaky ground
You're always jumping
At every sound
You've been a hustler for all your days
A real motherfucker in every day
When you're a loser you're all alone
So you made up for everything
That you thought you'd lost
But you paid a cost
Hey...
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You're always running
With every game
First you're pushin' coke and then you're hoin' dames
You say you can't give nothing better back
Than you got back at home
Well I tell you that's bullshit brother
And that's heavy load
It's an illusion when you think you're the boss
Oh no no no
'Cause you really ain't got a thing
But the crumbs you're tossed
But don't you feel the frost
Hey..
You can live your life for so long But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
Don't Go And Put A Bullet In Your Head
Written by Lenny Kravitz
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
I'm gonna get it
But workin' nine to five just doesn't let it
I feel I'm wastin' time and I regret it
Can't even feed my kids and my wife
Oh I'm longing to find it
A taste of the sweeter life oh my
Only it takes a little time
(No don't do it)
Don't got and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Oh my oh my
Ain't got no credit
Can't even pay my rent
Where will I get it?
There's a liquor store right down the block I'll get it
Can't even feed the pain in my heart
Oh I'm longing to find
A piece of the bigger pie oh my
Only it takes a little time
(No don't do it)
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Oh my oh my oh my
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
In My Life Today
Written by Lenny Kravitz / Craig Ross
When my memory starts to wander
I sit back and I ponder
How the whole world's gone asunder
I feel the rain and I hear the thunder
I was bare and I was lost
But you were there and now I'm born
You are the force and strength
In my life today
And oh how I thank you father
For giving us all over and under
You're a mystery you're a wonder
I always knew since I was younger
I think about the way that you make it right
So full of love and sacrifice
I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
But you were right and I was wrong
'Cause I was weak but you were strong
You are the force and strength
In my life today
And now that the darkness has faded
I'm no longer blinded I can see
And I don't have to wait no longer
'Cause it's all about being free
Every day every way
I'm gonna get myself together
Every day every way
You are the force and strength
In my life today
You are the force and strength
In my life today
You are the force
And you are the force and strength
In my life today
You are the force
And your are the reign
You make me try to do right
And throw away my evil ways
The Resurrection
Written by Lenny Kravitz / Craig Ross
If you could feel what I could feel
Well then you'd know his love is real
If you could hear what I could hear
Well then you'd know the kind is near
The resurrection is here to stay
And he's coming back again
The resurrection is here to stay
And he's coming back again
To reclaim all his souls and set us free
The resurrection is here to stay
That he's coming back again
Look waht he's done to me
Now I am living in another space and time
He walked on the righteous path
To keep us from Satan's wrath
We are not alone
And we're going home
The resurrection is here to stay
And he's coming back again
The resurrection is here to stay
That he's coming back again
To reclaim all his souls and set us free
The resurrection is here to stay
That he is coming back again
To reclaim all his souls
Another Life
Written by Lenny Kravitz
Haven't you heard it could be coming tonight
Just leave all your things and come and celebrate life
This time is for love, not for heartache and strife
There's no time for games and there's no time to fight
Just feel all the love that is in the air,
The feeling so good and it's everywhere,
So come on along if you heart's feeling right,
Just open your wings it's a natural flight
You can do what you want, you can say I'm a fool,
And I'll see you in another life
See you in another life
He walked on this earth so we can party tonight,
He taught us of faith 'cause it's not about sight
He taught us of peace and unconditional love
He led us from wrong and forave us there of
He did all the things 'cause he wanted you
He died on that cross so you wouldn't have to,
And now all the worlds such a beautiful light,
Just open your eyes it's a beautiful sight
You can do what you want, you can say I'm a fool,
And I'll see you in another life
Another life, come on !
You can do what you want, you can say I'm a fool,
And I'll see you in another life
See you in another life, oh yeah
Another life
See you in another life, another life
See you in another life, oh yeah,
Another life, see you in another life
Take me higher higher, Oh yeah yeah
Higher higher, higher yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah !
Higher higher, Come on -
(living? you sinners?) yeah
Higher higher, higher yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
