1. I Want To Take Your Money & Run
(C.Knox)

I want to take your money, I want to take your money, I want to take your money and run ~ Everyday I hold my head, I can't believe the things you said oh, oh about me ~ Now I’m lying in your bed and I know the things you don't know I know you said, oh about me ~ It's just you hold me in your arms and you act like nothing’s wrong at all ~ I want to take your money, I want to take your money, I want to take your money and run ~ I could wait until you’re gone and look and when you’re gone, I'll grab your pocket book and take a look ~ I could take your comb and become a crook, remove the bookmarks from your book, oh or steal your rabbits foot ~ It's just you hold me in your arms and you act like nothing’s wrong at all ~ I want to take your money, I want to take your money, I want to take your money and run ~ It's just you hold me in your arms and you act like nothing’s wrong at all ~ I want to take your money, I want to take your money, I want to take your money and run ~ I want to take your money, I want to take your money, I want to take your money, I want to take your money ~ I want to take, take, take your money, I want to take, take, take your money, I want to take, take, take your money, I want to take, take, take your money & run.

2. Soft Seduction
(C.Knox)

Your soft seduction ~ Has come to take me home ~ In between the sheets of desire ~You find yourself alone ~ But whatever will be will be ~ And I ask you so tenderly ~  when the band begins to play and they’ve nothing good to say ~ When the words they come out wrong ~ you know we’ll have to carry on ~ But I don’t want to trouble your head ~ Unplug the telephone ~ slipping out though the slider ~ You think nobody's home ~  there’s no reason to deny her ~  But whatever will be will be ~ I ask you so tenderly ~  when the band begins to play and they’ve nothing good to say ~ When the words they come out wrong ~ you know we’ll have to carry on ~ But I don’t want to trouble your head ~  Should I ask myself to leave and let the flowers die ~ Were you guessing my reprieve? ~ I’ve seen that look within your eyes, again ~ But whatever will be will be ~ I ask you so tenderly ~ when the band begins to play and they’ve nothing good to say ~ When the words they come out wrong ~ you know we’ll have to carry on ~ But I don’t want to trouble your head ~ so I never will again ~ who knows where or when ~ so I never will again ~ cause I don’t want to ~ so I never will again. 

3. Rendered
(C.Knox)

I never though that I would be in touch with you ~ after all the things that we’ve been through ~ I figured there was little I could do ~ and so I rendered. ~ You came and caught me so unexpectedly, ~ I wasn’t sure who I was to be ~ My nature proved way too willingly ~ and so I rendered. ~ But I never figured out how to stop, playing with the hands upon the clock, that time forgot ~ Was I expected to be openly surprised ~ Upon the thought that you’d realized ~ In retrospect it had all been compromised ~ and so I rendered. ~ You said that everything is questionable ~ I know that’s what you’ve been told ~ But I don’t feel responsible ~ and so I rendered ~ But I never figured out how to stop, playing with the hands upon the clock, that time forgot ~ That I forgot I promised not, so why are you coming to me, asking so tenderly, ~ When you know that it’s wrong, (when you know, yes you know) cause too much is gone, (when you know, yes you know) so why you acting so tough, (when you know, yes you know) well enough is enough, (when you know, yes you know) it was over I know, a long time ago, I rendered it so. ~ (I never figured how to stop, playing with the hands upon the clock, that time forgot) ~ That I forgot I promised not, so why are you coming to me, asking so tenderly, ~ When you know that it’s wrong, (when you know, yes you know) cause too much is gone, (when you know, yes you know) so why you acting so tough, (when you know, yes you know) well enough is enough, (when you know, yes you know) it was over I know, a long time ago, I rendered it so.

4. Baby! Baby! Baby!
(C.Knox)

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby! ~ You’re only doing me wrong, but my love for you is strong. ~ And when I’m without, and you’re not about, I don’t know if I can go on. ~ Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby! ~ Just what am I suppose to do, ‘cause I am so in love with you. ~ And it’s clear to see, that it’s killing me, you know I am telling you the truth. ~ You’re never gonna do what you want to do, You’re never gonna do what you want to do ~ You’re never gonna do what you want to do, You’re never gonna do what you want to do ~ You’re never gonna do what you want to do, so I’ll do it for you. ~ Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby! ~ How much am I suppose to take, before the will within me breaks? And I know not why, I even try, What am I suppose to say? ~ You’re never gonna do what you want to do, You’re never gonna do what you want to do ~ You’re never gonna do what you want to do, You’re never gonna do what you want to do ~ You’re never gonna do what you want to do, so I’ll do it for you. ~ I say now Baby, Baby, hey Baby, yeah, yeah Baby, Baby, hey Baby, ~ I say now Baby, Baby, hey Baby, yeah, yeah, Baby, Baby, hey Baby yeah. (baby, baby, hey, baby) oh you never get to do what you want to do, (baby, baby, hey, baby) oh you never get to do what you want to do.

5. Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
(C.Knox)

Put your money where your mouth is, Put your money where your mouth is, Put your money where your mouth is, tonight. ~ I'm feeling I've lost my sense, (up on the fence) been sitting upon the fence, I been changing everyday, all the things I seem to say. ~ I know that we're incomplete, (make ends meet) we can't seem to make ends meet, and to stay with you tonight, wouldn't make anything right. ~ Put your money where your mouth is, Put your money where your mouth is, Put your money where your mouth is, tonight. ~ I feel my senses stir, I feel my faith unfurl, and if it can keep me warm tonight, beyond the doubt of the dead of night, I will take my currency and buy what's mine. ~ Put your money where your mouth is, Put your money where your mouth is, Put your money where your mouth is, tonight. ~ I'm running a three leg race, (uno, dos, tres) break a bone and cut to the chase, we can't pretend that what we feel could amount to something real. ~ I know it's a sacrifice, (something so almost nice) to shed something so almost nice, pawn in all your perfect tries, in for milk and honey skies. ~ And put your money where your mouth is, Put your money where your mouth is, Put your money where your mouth is, ~ And make it all work out right ~ Put your money where your mouth is, tonight.

6. Asleep At The Wheel
(C.Knox)

If I close my eyes tonight falling stars like winding headlights ~ Asleep at the wheel. Time she falls so fast ahead I’m running to you to hold up the things that I said ~ The seconds step on my heels ~ And I would love to hold you and keep you content ~ Swim through the waters and never relent ~ Stay in your sway, oh your heart’s like a child’s ~ Further the road as I head, through the unending miles ~ Yesterday was not what I meant, I’m longing to give you the words that will keep you content ~ But I do not know how ~ Thoughts of you filling me up, yet all I do, well it seems like it’s never enough ~ Wipe the sweat from my brow ~ And I would love to hold you and keep you content ~ Swim through the waters and never relent ~ Stay in your sway, your hearts like a child’s ~ Further the road as I head, through the unending miles ~ If you hear the telephone, stepping slowly to make my fate your own ~ The uneven keel ~ If I speak soft and true, pull a warm coat over your shoulders for you ~  how good it would feel (So asleep at the wheel) ~ And I would love to hold you and keep you content ~ Swim through the waters and never relent ~ Stay in your sway, oh your heart’s like a child’s ~ Further the road as I head, through the unending miles ~ Oh the unending miles.

7. Hold On To Me
(C.Knox)

Oh the blood was on your knife ~ And the days turned into weeks ~ When the word got out ~ It bought color to your cheeks ~ Now you’ve hidden it so well ~ You feel like an ass ~ When the subject came up ~ You know I didn’t have to ask. ~ So hold on, hold on, You got to hold on to me ~ Now it’s underneath your skin ~ And you said that you try  ~  I’m standing at your door  ~ And my hands are tied ~ So wipe the blade, please ~ and we’ll put it in it’s place ~ Don’t say anything at all ~ Cause you know you have my grace ~ Hold on, hold on, You got to hold on to me  ~ Oh your careless words only lead me on, don’t be too generous with your charm ~ Cause even love can be the fool ~ Twist the thorn in your side ~ Even this I’ve done to you ~ When my goodness subsides ~ So when you’re feeling fever pitched ~ And you’d like to walk away ~ Hesitate a bit ~ And remember what I'd say ~ So hold on, hold on, You got to hold on to me.  

8. The End
(C.Knox)

This is the end. ~ There is nothing left here ~ For me to contend ~ For me to declare ~ It’s so clear now, but I can’t see how. ~ This is the end, ~ And now we’ve come to it. ~ The partings we mend ~ Were always so eminent. ~ My heart is filled with sorrow and regret ~ Say it again so I don’t forget just yet. ~ This is the end. ~ So I will trust that you ~ Will trust me again ~ It’s all that I can do. (It’s all I can do) ~ I don’t want to ~ Though I must do ~ I don’t want to ~ release you yet.

9. All I Ask
(C.Knox)

All I ask of you ~ Is to guard your heart. ~ All I ask of you ~ Is to guard your heart. ~ 

Well there is so much out there ~ That wants you ~ There is so much out there ~ Seek what is true. ~ All I ask of you ~ Is to guard your heart. ~ All I ask of you ~ Is to guard your heart. ~ Cause there’s so much out there ~ That wants you ~ There is so much out there ~ Seek what is true. ~ All I ask of you ~ Is to guard your heart. ~ All I ask of you is to guard your heart.

10. Shall I Drive?
(C.Knox)

Shall I drive ~ you somewhere ~ I’d love to take you ~ away from here ~ we could go ~ wherever you like ~ there’s nothing to stop us ~ from  leaving tonight ~ And it’s not too late to make our escape ~ The moment still is ours, ours left to take ~ and if it’s what you want to do ~ then you know I want it too ~ and I wouldn’t hesitate ~ if you’d just lead the way ~ We could go to someplace new ~  with the past we could be through ~ It could only be our fate ~ to see our troubles pass away ~ So, shall I drive? I’m ready to go ~ The future is open ~ open road. ~ You know we could go ~ whenever you like ~ there’s nothing to stop us ~ from leaving tonight. ~ And it’s not too late to make our escape ~ The moment still is ours, ours left to take ~ and if it’s what you want to do, then you know I want it too ~ and I wouldn’t hesitate, if you’d just lead the way ~ We could go to someplace new, ~ with the past we could be through ~ It could only be our fate, to see the troubles pass away ~ So shall I drive? ~ When your thirst becomes a cry, I’ll take the big dipper from the sky and fill it until the oceans dry, this is why, yes, this is why ~ It’s beyond a year, it’s beyond a day, nine months and it’s still in the way, twelve weeks and you feel the same ~ This absence may never go away. ~ So, shall I drive?  I’m ready to go ~ The future is open ~ open road. ~ You know we could go ~ whenever you like ~ there’s nothing to stop us ~ from leaving tonight. ~ And it’s not too late to make our escape ~ The moment still is ours, ours left to take ~ and if it’s what you want to do, ~ then you know I want it too ~ and I wouldn’t hesitate, ~ if you’d just lead the way ~ We could go to someplace new, ~ with the past we could be through ~ It could only be our fate, ~ Well, it could only be our fate to see the troubles pass away ~ So shall I drive?
