A Place To Call My Own [Tommy Shaw]

A Place To Call My Own Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Hold the lamplight to the night See the empty streets Rolling out of sight Turn a deaf ear to the din Ignore the hunger pangs Bundle up against the wind Still I believe Someone waits for me A place to call my own Somewhere to be from A shelter from the storm Where I'll be safe and warm A future built on stone A place to call my own And once there was a time I had no fear at all None that I recall No future there to taunt No history to haunt me No monsters in the wall Still I believe Someone waits for me Oh, a place to call my own Somewhere to be from A shelter from the storm Where I'll be safe and warm Of wood and bricks and stone Oh, a place to call my own Somewhere to be from A shelter from the storm Where I'll be safe and warm A future built on stone A place to call my own

Exit Number 9 [Glen Burtnik]

Exit Number Nine Written by Glen Burtnik Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik The place I'm from is on the Raritan River South of Manhattan maybe 40 miles. The girls look good and they can really deliver. The boys know how to dress and they all got style. That trip to California really made up my mind. I turned around and headed home to exit number nine. The working girls come out to turn the college boys on. The way they dance, I swear they're working overtime. One man's medicine's another's poison. When Sissy's at the bar, I call it party time. French Street's buzzzin', the freaks keep comin' The kids are really something down on exit number nine. Handy Andy made his high school honors, Now he makes his living from his work on cars. Auto detail for a hundred dollars, And every night he blows it at the local bars. He came to town for knowledge but he dropped out of college, Now he's buffing polish down on exit number nine. Down at Lee's and Tony'...

Beneath The Moon Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Over that mountain, straight down this highway 24 hours from you Counting the headlights, billboards and raindrops Somehow I'll get through Crossing the border, no danger can stop me Oh Lord how I've been missing you Tonight beneath the moon One million dreams reach out to a star Tonight I'll say a prayer And tell the world how lucky we are Tonight, to be in love I still remember that Sunday in Roseland You came alone to the dance I acted crazy to try and impress you What did I know of romance Two children searching for love and assurance Each of us afraid in our own way Tonight beneath the moon One million dreams reach out to a star Tonight I'll say a prayer And tell the world how lucky we are Tonight, to be in love One mile to go Oh the anticipation Gonna hold you tight Makin' love all night Cause I know how you feel Ya hate separation But I'm down on my knees Please, baby, please Tonight...

Turn Around In Tokyo Written by Jonathan Cain Lead Vocals by John Waite Leavin' on the runway To another world Still stranded somewhere In between the earth and sky It's 3 AM I'm in Japan You're still on my mind Your long-distance love is coming through alright And I'm not lonely Lost in the Orient I'm dreamin' of Turn around in Tokyo Gotta send it back to you Turn around in Tokyo Well I feel like a stranger In a modern land Outside the sky light stands like a Buddha shrine And on the east horizon there's complete design It's the quiet hours of darkness before the light The words don't come easy Lost in the Orient I miss you Turn around in Tokyo Gotta make it back to you Turn around in Tokyo I'm comin' home now And I'm not lonely Lost in the Orient I'm dreamin' Turn around in Tokyo Gotta make it back to you Turn around in Tokyo I'm comin' home Oh oh I'm all turned around yeah I'm all turned around I'm all t...
