Album - 1990 - Debaser id 68985

I've been around the world and i wrote a million songs
it's all a bore to me
i've slept in the gutter and I've lied with the dogs
it never bothered me
the sheriff he come to with his little boys in blue
they been lookin' for me
but with my crystal sheen guitar i'm another ego star
so give it to me.......
get me to the stage - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i'm trippin on it now - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i look bad in shorts but most of us do
don't let that bother me
i'm the football who is who, I don't believe in smack
so don't you die on me
cause love is all good people need
and music sets the sick ones free
without love no one ever grows nothing ever sings...
this is shangrila
you have gathered for the feast
the bread is my body....the wine is blood
get me to the stage - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i'm trippin on it now - it brings me home again

Ah, ah, ah.... oh yes.
San Francisco, where the flowers bloom in spring.
I said fade to winter and see what disease brings.
Augustino, with his eyes like a shinning sea.
I said he's half a shadow... god don't let that be me.

I'm a Stardog Champion.
I'm a Stardog Champion.

West Virginia, that where my father lies.
He was a war time hero,
The kind that money buys.
Diamond braclett for my mommy's memory.
I said that's all she wrote for, that's all she wrote for me, yeah.

I'm a Stardog Champion.
I'm a Stardog Champion.
That's right.
And the children, they used to sing of love
With the grace from the lord above.
I said the children, they used to sing outloud.
Sing it loud...

Good god, I'm a Stardog Champion.
I'm a Stardog Champion.
I'm a Stardog, baby
And I ain't gonna let you down, yeah
Ain't gonna let you down..
I'll never let you down...
Let the children sing
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nahnahnahnahnowah....

Oooh baby gotta put me back together

I need your smooth dog lovin' oh, yeah
And so I'm sending off the little monster
Gonna turn it up inside your head

Do you believe?
Holy Roller
Like a holy roller
Like a holy roller
In my head

I said you loin queen parader
I'm gonna get you down on all fours
And then you gotta show me what you're made of - little darling
I'll meet you child - by the backdoor babe

Like a holy roller
Like a holy roller
To my head

The love-bone breakdown.

That's right.
All right you people.
See I, see I got somethin' to say to you people out there.
You gotta listen to me people, you gotta listen to me.
Yeeeeeah, the lord's comin' down people.
Yeeeeeah he's gonna take ya whole, he's gonna eat ya whole people.
Like a big grizzly bahr comin' out of the closet and eat ya whole.
Ya see the lord's gonna come and get ya people and ya gotta beware
because the Mother Love Bone camp knows what to do about it.
Ya see I been around I seen a lotta long haired freaks in my day,
but those boys in Mother Love Bone I'll tell ya they know what's right for ya.
Ya know they're like Malt-O-Meal for ya, they're good for ya.
They're like soup, they're like nothing bad, let me tell ya that much.
I tell ya people, the lord's comin', and if you don't believe,
and if you don't believe in what I can convey to ya, I tell ya people:
Love rock awaits ya people.
Yeeeah lo and behold, lo and behold...

Holy Roller
Like a holy roller
To my head

How did I get here?
What song did I sing?
And just what have I done
To deserve such a thing?

You say - I've heard all that before
So won't you give it up babe - stop using me
You say - I've heard all that before
So bring me an apple - I'm cryin'
I been persecuted - like a lying man

The spirit provides me
The spirit gives but it also can take away

You say - I've heard all that before
So won't you give it up babe - just stop using me boy
You say - I've heard all that before

So come bite the apple
I'm run down
Like Soddom to Gammorah, all dead now
So please stop to laugh, and pity me
My soul means well, but I'm sorry
My skin it is withered and I'm nervous, yes I am
My future was in my hands till I washed it all away
Washed it all away

Said, get along - little sister
Heard you're doin' well
Get along little sister
Doin' well

I'm crazy, crazy - I'm the boy
Who defies all, yeah
Lift me higher, than anyone
And hold me arms

Woman, woman, she outta mind
And simply out of soul
She gets me higher than anyone
And I miss her so
So do it
I miss her so

Stargazer you call the shots
And I'll take all
Star you kick with me - oh please
Stargazer you call the shots
I take all
Stargazer won't you kick with me
Oh please

I dance a dancer - I'm all wrong
She thinks she's young and wise
But oh, no - no
She dance around my - my dirty little cable car
And fix me up with a guy - why?
C'mon
Why'd you do this to me, babe?

[Chorus]
Stargazer you cry in blue
Anything I've ever seen
Ain't as good as you child
I'm not trying to push your feelings
But I know you hold me like butter in your hands
Cry for me and rub it in
Cry for the saviors and the prophet's son
Dream of me and Julie Ann
Oh xana come back again

Waste away my tears - babe I can't cry no more
No more, no less - My love

I said, my brother's drowning
Like a star babe, like a slower suicide
Me I gave mine away

I give you my heartshine
Yes I do
I give to you my heartshine
Only for you

A sad hello to death, I'm a stubborn goat on trial
No more, no less
I said time will tell, if love is gonna have the strength to push it
The strength to push my pain away

I give to you, I give to you my heartshine
I give to you my heartshine
I give you my heartshine
I give to you my...

Love flourishes
Love flourishes
You've gotta value love supreme
Love flourishes
Love flourishes

I am magnificent!

I'm the instigator of the me generation
The official seminator of the female population

Scoff at my rivals cause they ain't cool
And I re-wrote the bible, and I made my own rules

Captain Hi-Top the love commander
I'm the ego star forever after
Captain Hi-Top the love commander
Hide your mom, control your sister

I'm the hip-hop surgeon of the mindless eye
I said - Take me babe, in between your [?] thighs
And these stories of my image ain't up to par
I'll tell you what I'll do
I slid the beast to Farah, saying babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe
Baby, I'm a star

Captain Hi-Top the love commander
I'm the ego star forever after
Captain Hi-Top the love commander
Hide your mom, control your sister

like my world i'm on fire
cause i'm full of desire
no more preachin on your part
no more love on my pillow
come dance with me in my room
you can hold me hands
i shall be your boyfriend
and you can call me names
and nobodies gonna change the way i feel, for my love
nobodies gonna slow my gentle groove
till kingdom come thy work is done on earth as it is in dallas
come play with me in romm
you can hold me hands
i will be your boyfriend
and you can call me names
and nobody gonna take the power away, from my love
and nobodies gonna slow my gentle groove
and nobodies gonna take my love away
and nobodies gonna slow my gentle groove
till kingdom come thy work is done on earth as it is in dallas

you ever heard the story, of mister faded glory
say he who rides the pony must someday fall
i been talkin to my alter it says life is what you make it
and if you make it death well rest your soul away, away, away
it's a broken kinda feelin, should have to tie me to the ceiling
a bad moons-a-comin better say your prayers
i wanna tell her that i love her but does it really matter
i just can't stand to see you dragging down again, again, again
this is my kinda love
it's the kind that moves on
it's unkind and leaves me alone
repeat
i used to treat you like a lady, now you're a substitute teacher
this bottles not a pretty, not a pretty sight to see
i owe the man some money so i'm turning over honey
you see mister faded glory is once again doin time
repeat chorus
repeat chorus
like a crown of thorns, its all who you know
so don't burn your bridges woman cause someday
repeat chorus etc....
