Native New Yorker
by Odyssey

New York girl, ooh, ooh, ooh

Runnin' pretty, New York City girl
Twenty-five, thirty-five
Hello, baby, New York City girl

You grew up ridin' the subways, running with people
Up in Harlem, down on Broadway
You're no tramp, but you're no lady, talkin' that street talk
You're the heart and soul of New York City

And love, love is just a passing word
It's the thought that you had in a taxi cab that got left on the curb
When he dropped you off at East 83rd

Oh, oh, oh
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker

New York girl, ooh, ooh, ooh

Music plays, everyone's dancin' closer and closer
Makin' friends and findin' lovers
There you are lost in the shadows, searchin' for someone
To set you free from New York City

And, whoa, where did all those yesterdays go
When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show
You are the star, win the applause

Oh, oh, oh
You're a native New Yorker
No one opens the door
For a native New Yorker

Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Native, native, native New Yorker

Where did all those yesterdays go
When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show
You are the star

You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker

You should know the score, you should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker, oh, oh, oh
You're a native New Yorker

Whoa, oh, ho, ho, you're a native New Yorker
You should know the score
You're a native New Yorker

What you waitin' for, no one opens the door
For a native, for a native New Yorker

Verse 1
We're gonna rock and have a good time
Tonight's the night, the night we move
Together we will stand to rock the land
We're gonna rock for something new
We're gonna rock for something true
Tonight's the night so let's lift up our hands


Chorus
Jesus, King, King of Kings
Jesus, makes me wanna sing


Verse 2
He makes me want to jump around
He keeps my feet above the ground
Tonight the night it's best to rock the land
We're gonna rock for something new
We're gonna rock for something true
Tonight's the night so let's lift up our hands


Repeat Chorus

[Jesus Christ]

Verse 1
I've changed my ways from wrong to right.
The devil never pays, no, he robs just like a thief in the night
So many bands give the devil all the glory
It's hard to understand, we want to change the story

We want to rock one way, on and on.
You'll see the light some day
All say Jesus is the way.



Verse 2
Satan is a fool and it's so insane.
Some people think he's cool, you play with fire,
You'll feel the pain.
Why lose when you could win? Give God a try.
The devil's not your friend, the truth is not a lie.

I've changed my ways from wrong to right
Evil never pays, no, the truth is not a lie.



Repeat Chorus

[Jesus Christ]

Verse 1
Cars, mansions and planes
Income that never refrains
The more you receive, the less you believe
In His name

Verse 2
There will come a day
When this will all pass away
The world will die and millions will cry
To be saved

Chorus
King of Kings
And Lord of all is He
Come and be a part of the reign

Verse 3
Pride, fortune and fame
Glory given to your name
A heart filled with greed is planting a seed
With no shame

Verse 4
There will come a day
When you will soon pass away
The Son will deny and then you will cry
To be saved

Repeat Chorus

[Jesus Christ]

All over me, all over me
I've got the blood of an innocent man
All over me

He never did anything to hurt anyone
But He said something bout being God's own Son
Some people believed Him, some people received Him
Some people wouldn't stop till they saw Him die

Like an innocent lamb He was taken away
He never opened His mouth He had nothing to say
He just let them accuse Him, He just let them abuse Him
And the people wouldn't stop till they saw Him die

They nailed His hands and His feet to the wood
At the foot of His cross all His enemies stood
He said "Father forgive them" - He gave them all He could give them
Then He gave up His life and they watched Him die

They laid His body in a rich man's tomb
But He rose from the dead and He's coming back soon
You can choose to believe it, you can choose to receive it
You can choose to believe that He died over you

[Jesus Christ]

Love flowing around me
A new found peace inside
I've made a decision
And now I'm satisfied
Jesus told me to follow
And to count the cost I'm willing to pay
I know I'm not worthy
And I know it's not the easiest way

(Chorus)
I just want to be
I just want to be
I just want to be His disciple

I lived a delusion
With no one else to blame
I found a solution
When I called on His name
I may not have money or riches
But I found something better to be
To be a servant of Jesus
He means more than the world to me

The fields are ready for harvest
But the laborers are few
I just want to be where the Lord can use me
And work until the day is through

All of my life I've been searching
For the person who hides in me
I finally found someone
Who could make me who I want to be

I can't wait to see Him
Just want to hear Him say
"Well done faithful servant
Enter into joy today"

[Jesus Christ]

I wonder how it makes you feel when the prodigal won't come home
I wonder how it makes you feel when he'd rather be on his own
I wonder what it's like for you when a lamb has gone astray
I wonder what it's like for you when your children disobey

It must be like another thorn struck in your brow
It must be like another close friend's broken vow
It must be like another nail right through your wrist
It must be just like
Just like Judas' kiss

I wonder how it makes you feel when no one seeks your face
I wonder how it makes you feel when they give up in the race
I wonder what it's like for you when they willingly disobey
I wonder what it's like for you when they willingly walk away

[Jesus Christ]

Praise ye the Lord all ye nations
The Lord is reigning, you people rejoice
The Word of the Lord is a two-edged sword
He's placed it in our hands

Praise ye the Lord
Praise ye the Lord
Praise ye the Lord forever

The word of the Lord shall endure forever and ever
His merciful kindness is great toward us
Is with us to the end

Now let us go on to perfection
Leaving behind the old carnal mind
Press toward the mark of the high call of God
Which is the fullness of Christ

Praise the Lord for His mercy
Praise the Lord for His love
His everlasting love
Praise the Lord for His kindness
Praise the Lord for His Son

Jesus is Lord
Jesus is Lord
Jesus is Lord forever

Mekong

Barkeep
Another Mekong please
Yes of course, you can keep the change
A new glass here for this new friend of mine
Forgive me, I forgot your name

Flip a coin
What shall we talk about
Heads I tell the truth
Tails I lie

I came all the way
From Taipai today
Now Bangkok's pouring rain
and I'm going blind again
And I ain't seen my girl
In fifteen thousand miles

Is it true
It's always happy hour here
If it is I'd like to stay a while
And as cliche as it may sound
I'd like to raise another round
And if you bottles empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life

Barkeep
We need to go around again
One for me and what's his name
My new best friend
Deal me in
And I'll pick my cards up off the floor
I'll see my lucky coin
And raise a pack of lies

Smile to the girl at the door
Another 4 dollar whore
But don't look her in the eyes
She'll break your heart

We came all the way
From Taipai today
Now Bangkok's pissin' rain
And we're going blind again
And I ain't seen my girl
In fifteen thousand miles

Is it true
It's always happy hour here
If it is I'd like to stay a while
And as cliche as it sounds
I'd like to raise another round
And if you bottles empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life

Is it true
It's always happy hour here
If it is I'd like to stay a while
And as cliche as it sounds
I'd like to raise another round
And if you bottles empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life

Not Dark Yet

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

The Dogs of War

Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don't discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather 'round and haggle
For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
Even our masters don't know the web we weave

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world

Invisible transfers, long distance calls,
Hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
Has unleashed the dogs of war
You can't stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world

The dogs of war don't negotiate
The dogs of war won't capitulate,
They will take and you will give,
And you must die so that they may live
You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you know they've been there before
Well winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world
