EVERYBODY LAY DOWN Written by: Neil Geraldo & Pat Benatar
 
Everybody go round, go round, go round
Everybody lay down, lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down
 
Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough, hang tough
Life a little too rough
Everybody lay down
 
Everybody say hey, Don't nobody say no?
Everybody say wait, Don't nobody say go?
Everybody lay down
 
Everybody cry loud, cry loud, cry loud
Nobody too proud, too proud, too proud
To tell you what they're all about
Everybody lay down
 
Everybody don't care, don't care, don't care
Nobody play fair, play fair, play fair
Maybe everybody too scared
Everybody lay down
 
Everybody say hey, Don't nobody say no?
Everybody say wait, Don't nobody say go?
Everybody lay down
 
Everybody lookin' higher
Everybody want to touch the fire
Nobody willing to lay it all down
 
Everybody want heaven
Everybody say Amen
One thing is certain, you gotta lay it all down
 
Everybody say hey, Don't nobody say no?
Everybody say wait, Don't nobody say go?
Everybody lay down
 
Everybody go round, go round, go round
Everybody lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down
 
Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough
When it's just a little rough, everybody lay down
 
Everybody say hey, Don't nobody say no?
Everybody say wait, Don't nobody say go?
Everybody lay down
 
 

 
SOMEBODY'S BABY Written by: Neil Geraldo & Pat Benatar
 
He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
 
Someone cared if he lived or died
Someone held him in their arms - when he cried
And when he hurt, someone kept the world away
Someone loved him, someone loved him
 
He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
He used to matter
 
That was then, that was so long ago
Long before they came and took his soul
Long before he bacame invisible
That was when, he wasn't human garbage then
 
He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
He used to matter
 
He used to be somebody's baby
 
 
 
TIES THAT BIND Written by: Neil Geraldo & Myron Grombacher
 
Anger shakes the house of cards
Loving cup upon the bars
We bend the truth to help us through the night
 
Tempers thrown against the wall
Shattered like an empty glass
Nothin' can save us from our own selves tonight
 
Anger is a might sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes bling one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind
Hey, Hey
 
There's an edge within my voice
Helps me win when I should lose
We pick and choose our weapons carefully
 
Words are twisted like a fist
Behind our backs no slight of hand
No battle ever ended in a kiss
 
Anger is a might sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes bling one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind
Hey, Hey
 
Anger shakes the house of cards
Loving cup upon the bars
We bend the truth to help us through the night
 
Anger is a mighty sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes bling one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind
 
 

 
YOU & I  Written by: Neil Geraldo, Pat Benatar & Myron Grombacher
 
Are you lonely tonight?
Are you thinking about me?
Did you ever wonder how should I feel?
Close your eyes now and picture me there
 
You can push us aside, you can tear us apart
But it doesn't change the way that I feel
Close your eyes now and you'll see me there
By your side, so wrong, so right
 
We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind
You & I
 
It was all we could stand
it was heaven and hell
It was everything and nothing together
Maybe some things are just meant to be
What they are, so close, so far
 
We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind
You & I
 
You know I love you
I want you, but what can I do?
Can't fight this feelin'
I just can't go on without you
Baby I want you
 
Are you lonely tonight?
Are you thinking about me?
Did you ever wonder how should I feel?
Maybe somethings are just meant to be - yeh
 
We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind
 
We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind
You & I
 
We make our choices
But nothin' matters
Only You & I
 
 

 
DISCONNECTED Written by: Neil Geraldo & Myron Grombacher & F. Linx
 
The hammer lands, the verdict stands
The walls come crumblin' down
 
The color code, rule of thumb
Shadows on the sun
 
Can you tell me, where it's really at?
 
All around the world tonight
People watchin', people waitin'
All around the world tonight
People feelin' - Disconnected
 
Somebody better plug me in
 
The jukebox plays a toxic waltz
A factory belches steam
 
A sidewalk ends in baby steps &
A widow maker screams
 
Hear her call your name
 
All around the world tonight
People watchin', people waitin'
All around the world tonight
People feelin' - Disconnected
 
The page is turned, a city burned
The whole world falls apart
 
The plug is pulled, truth escapes
The space between our hearts
Space between our hearts
Space between our hearts
 
All around the world tonight
 
 

 
CRAZY Written by: Neil Geraldo, Pat Benatar, Myron Grombacher & F Linx
 
People like to shake you up and put you down
Run you all around, drive you crazy
 
Like to steal the roses right out of your bed
Get inside your head, drive you crazy
 
Never really knew what love could be, yeh
Never really thought about you and me, yeh
 
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
 
Everybody tells you how you ought to be
What they think they see, they can't teach you, no
 
Big world on your shoulder, it don't mean a thing
If that song they sing, hey - don't reach you
 
Never really knew what love could be, yeh
Only want to think about you and me, yeh
 
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Crazy, Crazy
 
Hey Baby, Baby, oh, oh, oh
Crazy, Crazy, Crazy
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
 
Crazy - feel like I'm gonna go crazy
 
 

 
EVERY TIME I FALL BACK Written by: Neil Geraldo & Pat Benatar
 
I don't know if it's me or just the sign of the times
But I want a better life than the one I've been livin'
Ain't no one says that you can't change who you are
Ain't no law says you gotta take what you're givin'
 
I wanna find a place where the nights are warm
And the wind don't blow so cold against my skin
I wanna find some shelter in someone's arms
When I go too far I know that
 
Every time I fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time I fall back
Your arms are open , I hear you calling me
 
I believe that people are the same wherever you go
Everybody's seen their reflection
The face we wear is not our face at all
No - we've lost all direction
 
Don't wanna dance the dance of the fool no more
Don't wanna give away my soul for nothin'
Don't wanna sell myself door to door
I just wanna know that..
 
Every time I fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time I fall back
Your arms are open , I hear you calling me
 
I don't know if it's me or just the sign of the times
I just wanna know that..
 
Every time I fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time I fall back
Your arms are open , I hear you calling me
I hear you calling me..
I hear you calling me..
Ohh......
 
 

 
SANCTUARY  Written by: Neil Geraldo & Myron Grombacher
 
Wise men say these are the facts of life
What ya can't read, you gotta write
What you don't know can hurt you, welcome to the wasteland
 
Hail Mary, hear me now - I'm in need of Sanctuary
Yes, these are hard times to be livin' in
 
Out in the Wasteland where love's a give away
I fall on my face like a rebel in the dirt
 
Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me
 
Feelin' lost and so afraid
Just tryin' to keep the handle on the blade
Been such a long time runnin'
 
Behind these walls inside of me
Ain't nothin' clear as far as I see
Looks like a storm cloud breakin'
 
Off in the distance, I hear a drivin' beat - a drivin' beat
The sun goes down like a rebel in the dirt
 
Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me
Sanctuary, Give me some affection
by, Baby shelter me
 
Heartache gonna worry me down -- I don't like it
 
Show me mercy, peace of mind
Stand beside me in these troubled times
Give me a reason to believe in now
 
Love and affection, they seem so far away, so far away
All I can do just to make it through the night
 
Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me
 
Sanctuary, Give me some affection
Baby, Baby shelter me
 
Sanctuary, Sanctuary
Sanctuary, Sanctuary
 
 

 
RISE  Written by: Neil Geraldo, Pat Benatar, Myron Grombacher & F. Linx
 
They say the hand is quicker than the eye
And two wrongs don't make a right
I feel lightning when you walk by
You got the power to take me higher, yeh
 
Hear me when I say
Rise
See a better day
Come on
 
They say the power of love is to blame
Time stops when I speak your name
Now and forever you are the one
Love-light shining on and on and on
 
Rise
Hear me when I say
Come on, yeh
Rise
See a better day
Come on, yeh, yeh
 
They say the power of love is like the sun
Shining down on everyone
Hey, don't be frightened by what you feel
You got to know that the power of love is real
 
Hear me when I say
Rise
See a better day
Come on
 
Can you feel the power of love
 
 

 
KINGDOM KEY  Written by: Neil Geraldo, Pat Benatar & Myron Grombacher
 
Just like every cross you ever carried, every badge you ever wore
Every vow you ever taken, every oath you ever swore
Every kiss you ever stolen, every moment that you waste
Everything you ever loved, and all you've come to hate
 
It's a great temptation, in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searchin' for the Kingdom Key
 
Just like every vision you neglected, every dream you left to die
Every hope that you rejected, every truth that was a lie
Every road you ever travelled, everyone you turned away
Everything you ever loved, and all that you betrayed
 
It's a great temptation, in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searchin' for the Kingdom Key
 
And the light before him was all that he could see
Like fingerprints on the hands of glory wrapped 'round the rosary
 
His love is like a chain
That would not set him free, would not set him free
Lonely soul on a mission of mercy
 
Just like every cross you ever carried, every badge you ever wore
Every vow you ever taken, every oath you ever swore
Everything you ever loved, and all you've come to hate
 
It's a great temptation, in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searchin' for the Kingdom Key
 
It's a great temptation, in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searchin' for the Kingdom Key
 
 

 
TRADIN' DOWN Written by: Neil Geraldo & Myron Grombacher
 
We paint this town in shades of gray
And the walls look high 'til you step away
Ain't it funny how you can look around
And never see the truth 'til it knocks you down
 
Never see the light 'til your - Tradin' Down
 
Work hard labor for your daily bread
While the golden dream spins around your head
Time gets money. money buys you time
For the foolish things that you left behind
 
Workin', workin' overtime
And Tradin' Down
 
It's gonna be alright, he said
It's gonna be alright
There's nothing that's here for us
That we won't mind missin'
 
Never see the light 'til your - Tradin' Down
 
There's no future for the workin' man
See him growin' old in the promised land
Nothin' to show for the wasted years
But a heart full of hollow and a taste of tears
Pushin' Monday to the wall and
Tradin Down...
