Song Lyrics

Lost Cathedral
Steven Van Zandt/Jean Beauvoir (Blue Midnight Music & Hot Boy Music/BMG Songs)

As the dawn reveals it's grace
The darkness lingers on
The desperate hearts are calling
We ignore the prophecies
As we aimlessly search for gold
Our souls burn out in the cold
As we worship false gods

Eyes open, we're dreaming
When did life lose its meaning
We blindly build the gallows
While wise men hide in shadows

Follow the signs to the
Lost Cathedral
We have been confused by
Sounds of the demon song
A candle is burnin' in the
Lost Cathedral
That will help us find our way
Remind us where we belong

We drown our sacred fires
As all light disappears
We fear our lust and laughter
Our labor's our religion
Though we're left with
Empty hands
Our mountains turn into sand
As we wait for a hero

We've stopped the world from turnin'
We teach but are we learnin'
Dance of the ghosts will guide you
Salvation waits inside you

Follow the signs to the
Lost Cathedral
We have been confused by
Sounds of the demon song
A candle is burnin' in the
Lost Cathedral
That will help us find our way
Remind us where we belong

We've stopped the world from turnin'
We teach but are we learnin'
Dance of the ghosts will guide you
Salvation waits inside you
If we use what we know
Angels will embrace the rainbow

Follow the signs to the
Lost Cathedral
We have been confused by
Sounds of the demon song
A candle is burnin' in the
Lost Cathedral
That will help us find our way
Remind us where we belong
 
 
Motorcycle Loretta
Steven Van Zandt/Jean Beauvoir (Blue Midnight Music & Hot Boy Music/BMG Songs)
 
Well the first time I saw her
She had lost her reason to believe
Love had left her abandoned
She had depended on it desperately
Yeah, well I made her smile
This is as good a place as any to die
'Cause I got the wings
if you're ready to fly

Yeah, she wants to ride
Leavin' everything behind but freedom
Take a last look in her eyes
'Cause it's time to say goodbye
Goodbye to Motorcycle Loretta

Well the last time I saw her
Looked like she'd just
Discovered Rock'n'Roll
Gave up all her possessions
And was headed down
The open road
She was a tightly
Wound ball of desire
But now she found a new
Way to get higher
She traded in the alcohol for
Two wheels of fire

Well it took so long to see her
It was inside all the time
Yeah it took so long to free her
Make her feel alive
Well it took so long to see her
It was inside all the time

Yeah, she wants to ride
Leavin' everything behind but freedom
Take a last look in her eyes
'Cause it's time to say goodbye
Goodbye to Motorcycle Loretta
 

Cold-Blooded Bitch
Steven Van Zandt/Jean Beauvoir (Blue Midnight Music & Hot Boy Music/BMG Songs)
 
I hit the wall I felt I had enough
Needed some time for me
To loosen up
Woke up in a place where
There was endless night
But is this hell or is this paradise

With all the lights and
A thousand faces
Well am I somewhere I don't belong
Lyin' to myself
I was trying to fake it
I was going underground -
You came along

I tried my best to treat you
Like a queen
But all you did was
Make a fool of me
Well you've been playin'
With a loaded gun
Thought you were hot but you're a
Cold-blooded Bitch, yeah

I looked at you and saw
The daylight sun
I was your target out of everyone
You put your hand out
And I took the ride
How could I know that you were
Satan's child

This fairy tale had
A thousand pages
I thought for sure
It would never end
Just thinking back on it
My blood rages
Last thing I saw was you
With my best friend

I tried my best to treat you
Like a queen
But all you did was
Make a fool of me
Well you've been playin'
With a loaded gun
Thought you were hot but you're a
Cold-blooded Bitch, yeah

With all the lights and
A thousand faces
Well am I somewhere I don't belong
Lyin' to myself
I was trying to fake it
I was going underground -
You came along

I tried my best to treat you
Like a queen
But all you did was
Make a fool of me
Well you've been playin'
With a loaded gun
Thought you were hot but you're a
Cold-blooded Bitch, yeah
