Travelin' Light
Bird on a wire
You're gonna fly to where the skies are blue
World is on fire below
But you don't let it get to you
Arrows fly and lightning strikes
In the blink of an eye you can't think twice
What keeps you up in the air
Trying to live on a wing with no prayer
And what is it that makes you so sure
There'll be somewhere to land after the storm
You must be tired
Bird on a wire
You're gonna find you're not above it all
Maybe it's time to decide
Where you'll stand when the curtain falls
Arrows fly and lightning strikes
In the blink of an eye
You're gonna fly to where the skies are blue
World is on fire below
But you don't let it get to you
Arrows fly and lightning strikes
In the blink of an eye you can't think twice
What keeps you up in the air
Trying to live on a wing with no prayer
And what is it that makes you so sure
There'll be somewhere to land after the storm
You must be tired
Bird on a wire
You're gonna find you're not above it all
Maybe it's time to decide
Where you'll stand when the curtain falls
Arrows fly and lightning strikes
In the blink of an eye
Freelance
I live my life, in my own way
I've made my name, with ladies like you
I'm a fine red-blooded love machine
Shootin straight and talkin' mean
I leave em right on cue
Hey, but one thing you must realize
Even when you fantasize
My love is just a dead-end street
*Cause I'm freelance
Ooh, I need no company
I need a freehand
And that's the way it's gonna be
I'm freelance*
You've seen my kind, but you know I'm blind
To the rules of modern romance
I'm a full-tilt rocker to the max
Drivin' hard and livin' fast
Your heart won't stand a chance
So, so while you still can turn around
Before I bring the curtain down
Maybe you best find the door...
