HUGHES TURNER PROJECT LYRICS

1. Devil's Road

[Hughes/Turner/Marsh]

I got my posi-traction
I'm hell on wheels
I'm made of iron blood and steel
I'm always set for action
I'm shifting gears
I'm running faster than my fears

I'm leaving everything behind me
I'm on a race with destiny
I'm going where my dreams can find me
Somewhere I can be free

I can see heaven, it's a long way to go
And I'm riding the devil's road
I can hear angels singing lifting my soul
But I'm riding the devil's road

I got my higher power
He come to me on the seventh hour
Never burn my ivory tower
Now I have been set free

2. You Can't Stop Rock N Roll

[Hughes/Turner/Marsh]

Kicked to the gutter, pushed to the side
Feels like were hanging by the fringe
Burned down and battered
Fight to stay alive
Out in the cold and left for dead

Keep on believing
We got the faith
So tired of being pushed around
We'll love forever
Make no mistake
Ain't nobody gonna take us down

We want the world to know
We're right where we belong
No matter where we go
Together standing strong

You can't stop rock n' roll
You can't stop rock n' roll
You can't stop rock n' roll
You can't stop rock n' roll

Blood in the water
No turning back
We put ourselves out on the line
You know we oughtta
Get back on the track
You know we gotta let it shine

3. Missed Your Name

[Hughes/Turner/Marsh]

I'm on the train all dressed in black
And you know I'm just comin' back for you
Back for you
I go from town to town
I know just what I wanna do

And I'm not asking you
Something I won't regret
And I don't need no sympathy
Cuz all I wanna do, I hope I won't forget
I can read between the lines

Name, missed your name it's a shame
I musta missed your name it's a shame
I'm to blame, I musta missed your name

I need a little sanity
Or are you just a vision in my head
I want some identity
So we can spill the wine
And taste the bread

And don't want to live
And face another day
I just want you by my side
Now tell me, won't you give me
Something you can't hide
I can read between the lines

4. Mystery Of The Heart

[Hughes/Turner]

The time has come again
Throw a kiss and lose a friend
Some things are just better left in the past
Tomorrow never knows
Passes by, comes and goes
Can you tell me how long will love last?

I'll remember you and me
And how it felt inside
I guess it wasn't meant to be
But it's so hard to say goodbye

Why do the winds of change carry us away?
They leave us lost and torn apart
What are we searching for, never sure
Wanting more?
Maybe that's the mystery of the heart

Love is rare and life is strange
Nothing lasts and people change
Memories that time just can't erase

Wish I could go back, I know
How I want to hold you so
I'd give anything to see your face

Lonely dreams of yesterday
Like footprints in the sand
Wish that I could find a way
But I'll never understand

5. Sister Midnight

[Hughes/Turner/Marsh]

Night after night, you're out on the street
Just like a stray cat on the prowl
Down in the neon, the hustle and the heat
You got a need to fill somehow

Do you wanna be free, tell me how do you see
You're outta sight, outta mind
Do you feel the same, or are you hiding your pain
You're dying to feel so alive
Are you living it up - Sister Midnight

Taking your chances, checking off your list
You always say your life is justified
Never stop looking, to see what you missed
Trying to fill that empty hole inside

Do you wanna be free, tell me how do you see
You're outta touch, outta time
Now I know your name, are you lost in your shame
Don't you know you are living a lie
Are you living it up - Sister Midnight

Ooh, I'm waiting for the heartache
Ooh, I'm waiting for the day
That you finally see
See what you're doing to me

Are you living it up - Sister Midnight
Are you giving it up - Sister Midnight
Sister Midnight

6. Better Man

[Hughes]

When the sky was burnin' red
When the mountains crumble and fall
And I was outta my head
That's when I heard you call

I can feel a change in the weather
I put my feet on the ground
I had to pull myself together
I'm gonna tell you what I found

Better man - I know
I'm a better man
Better than before
Won't you let me go
And let the river flow

When the sea did cover the land
And you did not believe in fate
Came to me and gave me your hand
Only a fool would hesitate

Now you can call me brother
Cuz I've been away too long
There's one way or another
Cuz I never felt so strong

So walk with me my friend
Cuz I want you to see
And I cannot pretend
Cuz I just gotta be...

7. Heaven's Missing An Angel

[Hughes/Marsh/Sykes]

I know there's a place I see
Your spirit keeps haunting me
And I never worry, cuz I do believe
You will find me here

I'm floating through space and time
Your love is all over the line
Why can it be when all hope is gone?
Then you turned around
There without a sound

Baby, heaven's missing an angel
Did you fall from a star like an angel from above
Your moonbeam smile and the warmth of love
Heaven's missing an angel
So much more than a woman to me
Finally love came to set my heart free

I'm high on a silver cloud
I see your face in the crowd
And I know that it's only a matter of time
Your love will come to me
Your love will come to me

Who am I to regret the past
I live and die and I want it to last
But if I was to leave I want you to know
I'll be by your side, cuz you're my soul and pride

8. Fade Away

[Hughes/Turner/Marsh]

I'll be there when the darkness falls
Everywhere when the shadows call
Hear the wind how it cries your name
Don't you worry there's no one to blame

Why, oh why can't I be free
Only emptiness inside of me
Cuz in my heart
I know you'd never stay
Tell me how long does it take
For love to fade away

I let you slip right through my hands
Now I try for a second chance
I never wanted to let you go
Now there's one thing you should know

Why, oh why can't I be free
Only emptiness inside of me
Cuz in my heart
I know you'd never stay
Tell me how long does it take
For love to fade away

9. Ride the Storm

[Hughes/Turner/Marsh]

A world of trouble, betrayal and deceit
Hiding in the shadows, there's terror in the streets
It came without warning, no one heard the call
Dark clouds are falling, the black rain will fall

Ride, ride the storm
Ride, ride the storm

The distant fire, burning on the shore
Oh the cities crumble, I hear the gods of war

Screaming for vengeance, there's no hope in sight
Lighting and thunder, striking the night

Ride, ride the storm
Ride, ride the storm

I know, burn in the conscience of every man
You don't have to push me, cuz I'll make a stand
Won't you let me breathe?
When I go, I give back the freedom to every child

Give me the wisdom, the sadness, the sorrow
But leave me tomorrow
I feel the sunshine on me

Ride, ride the storm
Ride, ride the storm

10. Run, Run, Run

[Hughes/Turner/Marsh]

I keep trying to talk to you
But I never seem to get no answers
All the things you put me through
I guess I'll have to take my chances

I can't face another day you put me down
This situation there's no way you can be found

I'm always reaching
But I can't get next to you
Cuz you run run run
I move in closer
And I don't know what to do
Cuz you run run run

You always got an attitude
I'm looking for a one on one reaction
Whatever happened to your gratitude
You're always looking for a little satisfaction

Is there a way I can finally make you see
Does it make you happy
When you tear the heart from me

11. Against The Wall

[Hughes/Turner/Marsh]

Say you love me, but you don't care
Put on your makeup and you fix your hair
You're steppin' out
You're hitting the town
And you made it clear
You don't want me around

I gave you everything a man possibly could
You say walk through fire baby, I would
I'd move a mountain, my love is so strong
But I get the feeling that it won't be long
I don't wanna hear you say goodbye
You just gotta give me one more try
Tell me why

You wanna watch me fall
You wanna see me crawl
You say you want it all
Baby you got me, you got me against the wall

I can't eat, I can't sleep at night
Push and pull, but I can't win the fight
Got this feeling I should let you go
My head says yes but my heart tells me no

You got all my money you got all my time
Take my soul, now I'm losing my mind
What can I do baby, what can I say
Cuz I'd do anything to make you stay
I don't know why you wanna say goodbye
You just gotta give me one more try
Tell me why

12. On the Ledge

[Hughes/Turner/Di Cola]

Stare out my window until the light fades
The darkness overcomes me
Someone is lost, someone is saved
I wonder which one will I be
Searching for something
Just what I'm not sure
Some way to change my life
One thing's for certain
Can't take this anymore
I feel like I'm losing the fight

How long have I lived this way
Alone in the atmosphere
I see you but I'm 10,000 miles away
Gotta turn it around...I'll be walking tall
I'm gonna try and keep my head
It's a long way down...so far to fall
When you're standing on the ledge

A burning heart full of broken dreams
Trapped inside my frozen soul
A desperate man goes to extremes
Before he loses control

Lost my faith in heaven, and my fear of hell
There's no place that I belong
Don't want your pity, save that for yourself

I know what it takes to be strong
