I know just what you're thinking I know just how you feel Something somewhere inside you Say you can't believe it's real So you're gonna play the game All the faces and the names And you know you're never gonna change Fool for the night And you don't believe it Fool for the night And you just can't see it Running through the shadows Like a phantom in the night And as the curtain raises You get ready for the fight Say you want to even up the score Don't know what you're doing it for Too much but you still need more Fool for the night And you don't believe it Fool for the night And you still can't see it I ain't gonna try and tell ya You know the story oh so well Everybody's out to buy and sell ya You're gonna wind up by yourself Oh here it comes again No it's never gonna end I must be dreaming SOLO Fool for the night Fool for the night Oh here it comes again I ain't gonna try and tell ya You know the story oh so well Everybody's out to buy and sell ya You're gonna wind up by yourself Oh here it comes again No it's never gonna end I must be dreaming You love the night life All the neon and the noise And underneath the spotlight You keep rockin with the boys So you're never gonna understand Nobody really gives a damn Fool for the night and you don't believe it Fool for the night why don't you see it

In the Earth, there are so many wonderful treasures. And if you know where to dig, you will find gold, diamonds, all kinds of treasures. But if you don't know where to dig, all you will find is rocks and dirt. He can show you where to dig, and what to dig for, But the digging you must do yourself (The digging you must do yourself) Let go, of what y'all know Return to the land of the rainbow Where the sun hang low and the wind doth blow And the tide it move so slow Creeps and more through the window Return to the land where the wild mare roam And the buffalo go, yeah the buffalo go Where the wild mare roam and ehh... Cross the countryside search far and wide Dig into the wheats upon the other side Streams and the rivers and the oceans and the streets Gonna swim with the fishes till I'm deep I've been searchin' for you I've been searchin' far and wide I've been searchin' for you All my life (my life) I've been searchin' for you I've been searchin' far and wide I've been searchin' for you All my life (my life) Lift your eyes upon the other side Sunrise and I fight to sleep through the night Leap upon the skies on the clouds so high When I fly by the heights feeling oh so right Finally find the land and I'm kickin' up sand When I stand and deliver the plan Would you please back down Or get slammed to the ground When my slams strike thunder While your village is under Now you wonder why you going under Got yo' self on the run from the numbah 1 That you can't run from You spin and faint You feel hunger (hunger) I've been searchin' for you I've been searchin' far and wide I've been searchin' for you All my life (my life) I've been searchin' for you I've been searchin' far and wide I've been searchin' for you All my life (my life) In the Earth, there are so many wonderful treasures. And if you know where to dig, You will find gold, diamonds (diamonds, diamonds...)

A rebbe is the geologist of the soul. He can show you where to dig, and what to dig for, But the digging you must do yourself (The digging you must do yourself)

I met Virginia two summers ago Up in them mountains, teachin school Oh Lord in a one room shack Teachin the children all she knew We spent a lot of hours together And one day she said she loved me for all time And I'm in love with my Virginia And I hope she don't change her mind. We took a trip to Montana Guess we were lookin for gold Never saw a trace of it But it was everywhere, we were told Worked in a mine for thirteen hours every day I took one look at my Virginia And knew she wasn't meant to live that way The goin' was rough, but she treated me so kind I'm in love with miss Virginia And I hope she don't change her mind Now we're back in Carolina Up in them Smokeys where we belong Never knew why we went away Can't understand why we were gone Been with her twenty years And all those years she made me feel so fine She still tells me that she loves me And I hope she don't change her mind Oh I hope she don't change her mind

I've been thinkin' about the way you've been doin' me, now for a long long time. When a woman acts the way you do, well somewhere ya have to draw the line. Empty liquor bottles, and crowded bar rooms, seems to be your home. Now that I know the way you feel for me, I guess it's time for me to move on. I have tried everything, to make you see my way. But now I'm tired of being made a fool, I beleive it's time I had my say, aw ya. Empty liquor bottles and crowded bar rooms, seems to be your home. Now that I know the way you feel for me, I guess it's time for me to move on. Goodbye woman, I'm leavin' you, so long heart ach, so long. I hope you're happy somewhere down lover's lane, see you later I'm gone. Goodbye woman, I'm leavin' you, see you later I'm gone.
