1. Assembly Line

I'm working in a place at the edge of town
Doing the best I could
Pumping the night shift through my veins
The foreman seems to like me
And the overtime is good...double on Sunday

And when I'm keeping industrial time
Putting out for the company
I'm a go-getter and I'm a hard hitter
I'm working the assembly line

These wheels I'm driving now
I bought on time with nothing down
Considering my ambition
I'm a long-term investment
That the company thinks is sound, solid boy solid

And if production needs don't decline
And the workers keep working
I'll be a go getter, I'll be a bread winner
I'll be working the assembly line, making time & a half

And I got a little girl that's special
She keeps me off the street
Demanding nothing
She wraps herself around me
And squeezes tenderly...mercy, have mercy

And when I'm lying in her arms
I get sentimental
I'm gonna take care of her, I'm gonna provide
I'm gonna work the assembly line

Collect that product
Select your best shot & feed it on through to me
Machine perfection, it's got to be
Fabricated, shaved down & passed along to me
Face to face, back to back
Bolted into place
Tighten up the slack
Can you feel the heat

2. Heartbeat of Love

There is no introduction
No amount of time
Forget the dark suspicion
Ain't no fancy line

There is no opposition
No weapons to deploy
Without the conversation
No clever words to employ

There's just the heartbeat of love

There's no one here to guide us
No direction back
No fear & no rejection
No one to distract
No one down below us
Just the moon above

And just the heartbeat of love

With the moon above to keep us safe
Just slip your arm around this waist
And feel this heartbeat

With no one to keep track
There's no need to hurry up and get back
There's only time
And just the heartbeat of love

There is no cause to change
No questions to be found
And when we come together
There is no other sound
Just the wind to cool us
As we come burning down
And just the heartbeat of love....

3. Cadillac Bar and Grill

Mickey's got a brand new deal
Got her name on a marquee
She's the high-steppin' star of the show

You can see her every night
Underneath that hot light
Plugged into a double-shot glow

And it's an easy stroll
To the Cadillac Bar & Grill

Bar boppers with the import blonds
And them late night liasons
Just out of reach of the light

They can fold them twentys twice
And lay 'em there as a tip to entice
Settin' 'em up and knocking 'em down

And it's an easy stroll
To the Cadillac Bar & Grill

Hummin' hot with a foot to the throttle
Strippin' down to the rythmn of the bottle
Mickey's got a brand new thrill

You can see her every night
Underneath that hot light
Plugged into a double-shot glow
She's the star of the show
And it's an easy stroll
To the Cadillac Bar & Grill

4. Firefly

Evening falls and you're in flight
Puttin' the sparkle onto the night
Teasing me, you're pleasing me
Little Firefly

Turnin' it off and turnin' it on
Lovin' the way that you're carrying on
Fly for me, won't you fly for me
Little Firefly

Under the sweetgum, beside the road
Out through the tall grass
Let your trail unfold
Into your forest I'm following now
Take me as far as the night will allow

Jewell of the dark with your
Sparkle and flair
Sailing along on the warm summer air
Fly for me, won't you fly for me
Little Firefly...

5. The Trail

Down to the last detail, I remember this dusty trail
Took a blow from an ancient beast of hurt
and slid from this rocky ledge
Down to the canyon floor, I felt the cool earth roll
In a pool of angry luck I lay bleeding
And while the dust clung to the air
the venom rose inside me
Down every vein in time, I was paralyzed

Is there no one to pull this poison from me
Disengage this burning fire
Is there nothing to draw out this infection
Where the dust and wind prevail
Here on the trail

From a window on a second floor
At the edge of a canyon
Came the tune of an aimless score, they were dancing
The edge of her lips so smooth
ran itself across her hand
And in a fold of passion blood, they went laughing
Across a vacant lot, up the canyon a little
The dust from an old trail began to settle

Can you really pull this poison from me
And erase this burning fire
Will your lips draw out this infection
Where the dust and wind prevail
Here on the trail

6. Last Train to Love City

Pulled up in a cold sweat, took that last step
Conductor tear the ticket through
Load up that love freight, baby says she can't wait
to take me to the end of the line

Sit tight baby I'm rolling now
This hi-ball special was built to plow
And I'm all, all aboard

Sit tight lover I'm burning up rail
This beast of iron just cannot fail
And I'm all, all board
That last train to love city

Side tracked I was hi-jacked, called that switchman
To hook me to your southern line

So we switched back baby at the terminal gate
The porter took the luggage in an act of faith
When the moon came shinning from shore to shore
We we're locked in solid we were all aboard

Oh that last, oh that last, yeah that last train to love city

7. Under a Primal Moon

You're the femme fatale
as you draw me near
you're the main attraction
you're why I'm here

Through the smoky haze
of a crowded room
with a sound and fury
I reach for you
I reach for you

I'm your voice in the wilderness
I'm your witness true
And when you make that connection
I will too

In the grip of a primal moon
Drinking from the waters of a dark lagoon
And I'll stand with you
Under a primal moon

Throw a spark in the dark
And fan the flame
You touch their lips
They call your name

I'm your voice in the wilderness
I'm your witness true
And when you make that connection
I will too

8. Rescue Me, Rescue Me

Put another line around these eyes
And let it wind like a river bed
Cut it deep enough to carry the tears away
Carry the tears away

Lay her number in my hand
And close the fist to resist the call
Here's to the thought that we thought we could change
The arrangement of it all

Looking back on the first
of those first impressions
Designed for a party of two
And my eyes are turned towards you

Rescue me, Rescue you

Hey ain't it funny
How they move and how they sway
Encouraged by your interest
Anxious to obey

Hey ain't it funny
How they move and sway
Caught up in the action
Stranded for a day

So put another line around these eyes
And let it wind like a river bed
Cut it deep enough to carry the tears away
Carry the tears away
