Run for cover
Reach for the sky
Military man
Empty rooms
Out of my system
Out in the fields
Nothing to lose
Once in a lifetime
All messed up
Listen to your heartbeat
Still in love with you
Stop messin' around
Murder in the skies
Run for cover
Run - run - run - run

Run, you'd better find somewhere to run
You think you're foolin' everybody
But you're not foolin' anyone

Hide, you always need some place to hide
But you can't hide from what's inside yourself
You just can't face it

Run, run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
The loneliness inside

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Before it gets too late

Run, you're gonna run right out of time
You've let yourself fall way behind now
And all the years have passed you by

Lies, I used to listen to your lies
But now I've learned to read between the lines
I've got your number

Run, run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
The loneliness inside

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Before it gets too late

Yeah

Run, run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
The loneliness inside

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
You'd better find some other place to hide
What's eating you inside

You'd better run
Run for cover now
You'd better run for cover now
Yeah
Run for cover
Run - run - run - run
Run - run - run - run
Run - run - run - run
Yeah, yeah

Reach for the sky
Sometimes it seems
That you've had more than enough
As your life is going nowhere
And you feel like giving up
Sometimes you know
That you can't take anymore
When things are getting harder
Than they've ever been before

Don't lose your heart when things go wrong
You know what to do now
Just turn your back and carry on, come on

Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up
Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up

Sometimes it seems
Like you've really lost your way
When you're mind is full of doubt
You've got nothing left to say
You're going 'round in circles
Like a man who's running blind
But the world must keep on turning
And it's leaving you behind

Don't lose your heart when things go wrong
You know what to do now
You've got the strength to carry on, come on

Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up
Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up

Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the it

Don't lose your heart when things go wrong
You know what to do now
You've got the strength to carry on, come on

Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up
Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up

Reach for the sky
Come out with your hands up
Reach for the sky
Come out with your
Hands up, hands up, hands up
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky

Military man
Mama take a look at your boy
He's a military man
Mama take a look at your boy
He's crying
Mama take a look at your boy
He's a soldier
Mama take a look in his eyes
They're colder

Mama take a look at your boy
He's a military man
Mama take a look at your boy
He's dying
Mama take a look at your boy
He's fighting
Mama take a look at your boy
He's frightened

They have trained your boy to kill
And kill some day he will
They have trained your boy to die
And ask no questions why

Mama take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
He's a killer, yeah

Mama take a look at your boy
Take a look at him now
Take a look at your boy
He's a soldier, he's colder, he's older, mama

Mama take a look at your boy
Obey the order
Mama take a look at your boy
Like a lamb to slaughter

They have trained your boy to kill
And kill some day he will
They have trained your boy to die
And ask no questions why

One day I will write for you a lovesong, mother
As the children say: "I love you", please hold me
And you and I, we will live our life together
Until that day when we die, I will love you, mother
I will always love you

I am writing from this war
Oh mama, I don't know what I'm fighting for
And if you see my children?
God bless them, kiss them
And tell them that I miss them
See I'm frightened in the dark
Mama, mama
The blood is ankle deep
They have trained your boy to kill
And kill someday he will
They have trained your boy to die

Papa take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
Take a look at your boy
He's marching
He's a soldier

Oh mama, oh mama
He's on the street
He's marching to the backbeat

Empty rooms
[Verse 1]
Loneliness is your only friend
A broken heart that just won't mend is the price you pay
It's hard to take when love grows old
The days are long and the nights turn cold when it fades away

[Bridge]
You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on
You'll never know the reason why - she's gone

[Chorus]
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love

[Verse 2]
You see her face in every crowd
You hear her voice but you're still proud so you turn away
You tell yourself that you will be strong
But your heart tells you - this time you're wrong

[Chorus]
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love

[Instrumental break/Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on
You'll never know the reason why - she's gone

[Outro]
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
(You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on)
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn

Out of my system
You're out of reach, you're out of touch
This time baby you've run out of love
You're out of sight, you're out of mind
Another heartache I've left behind
It doesn't make any difference
Where you go from here
Too many times you've been running
I was here, over and over again
Well, I've got you out of my system
I've got you out of my soul
We've been through this a thousand times
Too many partners for your perfect crimes
You turned your back when I was down
Well, this time baby I won't be around
It doesn't make any difference
What you do or say
This time it's over forever
I'm on my way
Don't wanna see you again
Well, I've got you out of my system
I've got you out of my soul
Well, I've got you out of my system
And now I'm right outside your control
It doesn't make any difference
Where you go from here
Too many times you've been running
I was here, over and over again
Well, I've got you out of my system
I've got you out of my soul
Well, I've got you out of my system, out of my system
And now I'm right outside your control
I've got you out of my system
Well, I've got you out of my system
Out of my system
I've got you out of my soul
Out of my soul
Well, I've got you out of my system
Out of my system
And now I'm right outside your control

Out in the fields
[Verse 1 - Phil Lynott & Gary Moore]
It doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference if you're black or if you're white
All men are equal till the victory is won
No color or religion ever stopped a bullet from a gun

[Chorus - Gary Moore]
Out in the fields, the fighting has begun
Out on the streets, they're falling one by one
Out from the skies, a thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

[Verse 2 - Phil Lynott & Gary Moore]
It doesn't matter if you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause for which you fight
There'll be no prisoners taken when the day is done
No flag no uniform ever stopped a bullet from a gun

[Chorus - Gary Moore]
Out in the fields, the fighting has begun
Out on the streets, they're falling one by one
Out from the skies, a thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

[Bridge - Gary Moore]
There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again

[Interlude - Phil Lynott & Gary Moore]
Out in the fields
Out in the fields, they are falling one by one
Out in the fields, no flag has ever stopped a bullet from a gun
Death is just a heartbeat away

Out in the fields, a heartbeat away
Out in the fields, death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields, a heartbeat away
Out in the fields

[Chorus - Gary Moore]
Out in the fields, the fighting has begun
Out on the streets, they're falling one by one
Out from the skies, a thousand more will die each day

OUT!

Nothing to lose
You live your life in a state of confusion
Never finding your way
You've had the breaks
But you're so disillusioned
You only live for today

You never stopped for a red light
You never even tried
You're on the wrong side of midnight
Too fast to live, but too young to die

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Keep on singing the blues
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing to lose

You say that you've got a hot reputation
You never built it on trust
I say you're part of a lost generation
You got left in the dust

You never stopped for a red light
You never even tried
You're on the wrong side of midnight
Too fast to live, but you're too young to die

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Keep on singing the blues
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing to lose

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Keep on singing the blues
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing to lose

Yeah, nothing to lose

You never stopped for a red light
You never even tried
You're on the wrong side of midnight
Too fast to live, but you're too young to die

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Keep on singing the blues
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing to lose

Keep on rockin' and rollin'
Keep on singing the blues
Keep on rockin' and rollin'
You've got nothing to lose
(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
You've got nothing
(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
No, no, you've got nothing to lose

(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
Nothing, nothing, nothing
(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
You've got nothing to lose

(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Keep on singing the blues.)
Nothing to lose

(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
Wooh
(Keep on singing the blues.)
You've got nothing to lose

(Keep on rockin' and rollin'.)
Nothing, nothing, nothing
(Keep on singing the blues.)
You've got nothing to lose

Once in a lifetime
I never met a woman
Who could make me feel the way you do
'Cause when I look into your eyes
You don't know what I'm going through

I was looking for someone to turn to
Something I'd never had before
And then you came into my life
Now I can open any door

Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you
Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you

I never met a girl before
Who could understand a man like me
'Cause when I hold you in my arms
I just know that this was meant to be

I was looking for some understanding
Something I'd never had before
And then you came into my life
Now I can open any door

Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you
Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you

Once in a lifetime
Just once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

I was looking for someone to turn to
Something I'd never had before
And then you came into my life
Now I can open any door

Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you
Once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you

Once in a lifetime
That I could ever find someone like you
Just once in a lifetime
I could ever find someone like you

Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

All messed up
Party's over, I can't drink no more
My head is hurtin', I'm looking for the door
But it's so hard to find, so hard to find

Walk to my car on my hands and my knees
Hand in my pocket, I'm looking for the keys
But they're so hard to find

Look at my son, he's no friend of mine
Reach for my shades before I go blind
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know
All messed up and no place to go

I'm seeing double, the whisky's to blame
I'm having trouble remembering my name
So hard to tell, it's so hard to tell

Can't get no sleep with the quarrel and fight
I'm not sure if I'm dead or alive
So hard to tell

Look at my son, he's no friend of mine
Reach for my shades before I go blind
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know
All messed up with no place to go

I can't believe it's really me in the mirror
Feels like I'm falling off the rails
Looks like a hellhouse on my tail

Look at my son, he's no friend of mine
Reach for my shades before I go blind
Maybe tomorrow I don't wanna know
All messed up with no place to go

All messed up with no place to go
All messed up with no place to go
All messed up with no place to go

All messed up
All messed up
All messed up with no place to go
All messed up with no place to go

Listen to your heartbeat
Outside the rain is falling
Inside it feels so cold
A view from a broken window
Faces that look so old

Every trick in the book you have tried
To make ends meet
Just remember those nights that you cried
There was nothing to do, but lie awake and

Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul
Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul

Outside the rain is falling
Inside you feel so cold
A view from a broken window
Faces that have grown so old

Every trick in the book you have tried
To make ends meet
Just remember those nights that you cried
There was nothing to do, but lie awake and

Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul
Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul

Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul

You thought the mourning served out years ago
There's no more records on the radio
No place to go

Every trick in the book you have tried
To make ends meet
But just remember the nights that you cried
There was nothing to do, but lie awake and

Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul
Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul

Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul
Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of your soul

Listen to your heartbeat
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Listen to your heartbeat

Still in love with you
I think I'll fall to pieces
If I don't find somethin' else to do
This sadness never ceases
Woman, I'm still in love with you

My head it keeps on reelin'
It's got me in a crazy spin
Ooh, darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin'
Is this the end?
I'm still in love with you

Some people say time has a way of healing
And it can dry all the tears from your eyes
Oh, but darlin' they don't tell you 'bout this empty feelin'
And I cannot disguise it

After all that we've been through
I try my best, but it's no use
I will always keep on lovin' you
Is this the end?
I'm still in love with you

And now that it's all over
Woman, there is somethin' I think you should know
And maybe baby, you might think it over
Just one more time before you go

Call on me baby
If there's anything I can do for you
Call on me baby, baby
Help me see it through
I'm still in love with you

Stop messin' around
Oh baby, please stop messin' around
You're messin' around with my heart
Baby, please stop messin' around
You're messin' around with my heart
And if you don't stop messin'
Pretty soon we're gonna part

Oh baby, please stop messin' around
You're messin' around all the time
Baby, please stop messin' around
You're messin' around all the time
And if you don't stop messin' baby
You're gonna be someone elses baby, not mine

Squeeze me baby
'Til my face turn cherry red
Roll me so hard
I'll fall right out of bed
Please stop messin' around
You're messin' around all the time
If you don't stop messin' baby
You're gonna be someone else's baby, not mine

Squeeze me baby
'Til my face turn cherry red
Roll me so hard
I'm gonna fall right out of bed
Please stop messin' around
You're messin' around all the time
If you don't stop messin' baby
You're gonna be someone else's baby, not mine
Yeah

Murder in the skies
Time was running out for all on board
Soaring up through the shadows of night
High above the clouds the engines roared
This would be their final flight

The russians have shot down a plane on its way to Korea
Two hundred and sixtynine innocent victims have died

Murder in the skies came without a warning
Murder in the skies, black September morning
Murder in the skies

Time was running out for everyone
Flying over the Sea of Japan
None would live to see the rising sun
Death was following close at hand

The russians have shot down a plane on its way to Korea
Two hundred and sixtynine innocent victims have died

Murder in the skies came without a warning
Murder in the skies, black September morning
Murder in the skies came without a warning
Murder in the skies, black September morning

Murder in the skies came without a warning
Murder in the skies, black September morning
Murder in the skies came without a warning
Murder in the skies, black September morning

Murder in the skies
Murder in the skies
Murder in the skies
Murder, murder in the skies
Murder in the skies
