1.	Mr Highway Band - Cities walk on fire 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Look at me I 've got no face Talk to me I've got no name It's not my fault you came after me No it's not my fault you came after me When the sun goes down the cities will walk on fire Inside myself there is nothing alive My happy memories they now make me cry It's not my fault you came after me No it's not my fault you came after me When the sun goes down the cities will walk on fire I used to create now I only destroy I hate everything that I used to enjoy It's not my fault you came after me No it's not my fault you came after me When the sun goes down the cities will walk on fire When the sun goes down the cities will walk on fire
2.	Mr Highway Band - The river and the town 06:27	lyrics	buy track
In a moment of love I saw terror and horror Declarations of truth just behind my back Brotherhood of man equality in slavery Got to lose myself not to be accused But I don't live by the river I live in town in a town of war Both the river and the town in the middle of a war In a moment of love I saw terror and horror Declarations of truth just behind my back Brotherhood of man equality in slavery Got to lose myself not to be accused But I don't live by the river I live in town in a town of war This is a song and a photograph This is an ode to the lonely men The last cigarette at the last hour of the day This is an ode to the brave Both the river and the town in the middle of a war In a period of peace I saw thousands of soldiers And a million of guns loaded just in case Safety for all dignity is forgotten Got to be creative not to be absorbed But I don't live by the river I live in town in a town of war
3.	Mr Highway Band - Story of my life 03:19	lyrics	buy track
She's a car that goes too fast Even faster than the moments of my past She's the heaven that I miss She's a drug I can't resist She's a game I cannot win In the end I'll sure give in She's a song that I can't write She's a place where I can't hide She's a chair where I can't sit She's a bed where I can't sleep She's a food that I can't eat She's a beer that I can't drink She's a pen that doesn't write She's too strong but she won't fight She's the sun without the light She's the moon without the night She's a wall without a pass She's a bank without some cash She's a man without a wife She's the story of my life
4.	Mr Highway Band - Burning desire 02:33	lyrics	buy track
Babe you know... when I watch you at the edge of the bed and you wash your long blonde hair ... I got a strange desire makes me feel exactly like this... Babe you make me feel that burning desire Burning desire burnigg just burning Just looking in your eyes is getting me higher Getting me higher ,getting me getting me yeah! Take your time to spend your days and then I'll surely follow Don't you worry babe you know the moon will always shine bright on us The chords from your body our playing with my melodies Playing with my melodies, playing and playing No fear and danger I let myself on you let myself on you Let me just let me on you Take your time to spend your days and then I'll surely follow Don't you worry babe you know the moon will always shine bright on us
5.	Mr Highway Band - Walking 04:31	lyrics	buy track
Keep thinking on the fate of man But it doesn't make sense to me I don't want no chains in my life Cause all these chains won't leave me be I've been walking all night And I've been walking all day And I don't care if I don't find my way Cause walking is all I wanna do I wonder what I'm looking for But then the answer comes along I began from nothing and now I'm looking for more Until I find it all I've been walking all night And I've been walking all day And I don't care if I don't find my way Cause walking is all I wanna do I've been walking all night And I've been walking all day And I don't care if I don't find my way Cause walking is all I wanna do
6.	Mr Highway Band - Actress 02:42	lyrics	buy track
All the books are paintings whose painters are blind When you read you see the colors when you think it's always black And the poems and the songs are the weapons of the young When you listen they praise win when you think they shed your blood And you're an actress that's a fact You're an actress with no act Well your smile is a flower from the garden of a church When you smell it lifts your spirit when you think it burns your flesh And your kiss is a room with a window and a door When you get in they're wide open when you leave there are no more And you're an actress that's a fact You're an actress with no act And the wine is a bird that will settle in our head And our head is a gun that will shoot the poor bird dead And the dead are the photos that will hang upon the wall And the wall is the movie in the memory of all And you're an actress that's a fact You're an actress with no act
7.	Mr Highway Band - Devil's road 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Well I won't show you my face cause you're so afraid to see me You would rather have my body cut off from my very head And I won't tell you my name cause you can't stand even listen You would wish to have forgotten all the stories I'm involved And the saints all step back and kneel Devil's road There was a woman I called mother and she used to call me son Now she's sleeping with the father underground where they belong There's a guy and people love him many times they call him god He's my enemy and friend and the fight starts once again And the saints all step back and kneel Devil's road Oh human please release me from the good and evil And the saints all step back and kneel Devil's road And the saints all step back and kneel Devil's road
8.	Mr Highway Band - Burn your bridges 03:14	lyrics	buy track
Take me back or forward I wanna see you smile Take me back or forward I want you to meet time In a place that's always darkness ...in a place full of fears Let me saw you a passage Let me whisper in your ear Nothing left till the end Common sister hold my hand In a place that's always darkness ...in a place full of fears Ain't no lonely roads only open highway Now that we are more than two We' re gonna make it our way Years in shadows we' re been waiting The sun is rising Burn your bridges free your soul There's nothing more surprising Sometimes I feel i'm going crazy Sometimes I feel i get mean Sometimes my mind gets hazy something brakes and gets over me. In a place that's always darkness in a place just full of fears.
9.	Mr Highway Band - Shiny summer 03:53	lyrics	buy track
Looking at the days of shiny summer, singing in the sun looking back ago looking all these days , with brothers dancing rebels just for fun looking back ago Yeah........was only years ago Yeah........was only rock n roll Pack your things and bag and get your self straight and come with us Come ,and don't let go sun is rising high and you are the one who tried with all his heart not to waste another dawning Yeah........we re ready to go long Yeah........we are only rock n roll And when you' re looking for a place to rest And when you feel the need to run... on the run ,on the run We will be always on the run Yeah........was only years ago Yeah........was only rock n roll
