The Long Run
Written by:Frey/Henley
I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
I used
to stay out till the break of day
Oh, that didn't get it,
It was high time
I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way
Oh, I did some damage, I know
it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely , till I found you
You can go the
distance
We'll find out in the long run
(in the long run)
We can handle
some resistance
If our love is a strong one (is a strong one)
People
talkin' about is
they got nothin' else to do
When it all comes down we
will
still come through
In the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a
long run
You know I don't understand why you don't
treat yourself
better
do the crazy things that you do
'Cause all the debutantes in
Houston, baby,
couldn't hold a candle to you
Did you do it for
love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think
you had to, honey?
Who is gonna make it?
We'll find out in the long
run
(in the long run)
I know we can take it
if our love is a strong
one
(is a strong one)
Well, we're scared, but we ain't shakin'
Kinda
bent, but we ain't breakin'
in the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you, it's
a long run
in the long run
in the long run, etc..

I Can't Tell You Why
Written by:Frey/Henley/Schmit
Look at us baby, up all night
Tearing our
love apart
Aren't we the same two people who live
through years in the
dark?
Ahh...
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn
around and stay
And I can't tell you why
When we get crazy,
it just ain't to right,
(try to keep you head,
little girl)
Girl, I get lonely, too
You don't have to worry
Just hold
on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause I love
you
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to
be
and I can't tell you why
no, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell
you why
No, no, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't
tell you why

In the City
Written by:Devorzon/Walsh
Somewhere out there on that horizon
Out beyond the
neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
but there's nowhere else
in sight
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City
streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay
In
the city, oh, oh.
In the city
I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing
grows, and life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when you
fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know
there must be somethin' better
And I can't stay another night
In the city,
oh, oh.
In the city

The Disco Strangler
Written by:Felder/Frey/Henley
Lookin' for the good life
dressed to
kill
She don't have to worry 'cause
there's always someone else who
will
Loose and loaded every night
Dancin' underneath the flashin'
light
sayin, "Look at me, baby, look at me.
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful,
I'm somebody." Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
He's been around here all along, baby,
Been waiting for his time to
come.
You lookin' for attention, darlin'
He will surely give you some
He's the crimson in your face du jour,
the fiddler in your darkest
night.
He's the melody without a cure and
Rome is burning, but that's all
right.
Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
Just slip into the
arms of the disco strangler

The King of Hollywood
Written by:Frey/Henley
Well, he sits up there on his
leatherette
Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn't had yet
When
he thinks he wants a closer look,
he gets out his little black telephone
book
(He's calling, calling, calling
He's calling, calling,
calling
He's calling ,calling, calling
He's calling)
"Come sit down here beside me, honey.
Let's have a little heart to
heart.
Now look at me and tell me, darlin',
how badly do you want this
part?
Are you willing to sacrifice?
And are you willing to be real
nice?
All your talent and my good taste,
I'd hate to see it go to waste."
"We gon' get you an apartment, honey.
We gon' get you a car.
(spoken)
Yeah, we're gonna take care of you, darlin'.
We gon' make you a movie
star.
For years I've seen 'em come and go."
He says, "I've had 'em all,
'ya know.
I handled everything in my own way.
I made 'em what they are
today."
After 'while nothin' was pretty.
After 'while everything got
lost.
Still, his Jacuzzi runneth over.
Still he just couldn't get
off.
He's just another power junky.
Just another silk scarf
monkey.
You'd know it if you saw his stuff.
The man just isn't big enough.

Heartache Tonight
Written by:Frey/Henley/Seger/Souther
Somebody's gonna hurt someone
before the night
is through
Somebody's gonna come undone.
There's nothin' we can
do.
Everybody wants to touch somebody
if it takes all night.
Everybody
wants to take a little chance,
Make it come out right.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
a heartache tonight, I
know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, I know.
Lord, I know.
Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that
long
But nobody wants to go home now.
there's too much goin' on.
This night is gonna last forever.
Last all, last all summer long.
Some
time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song.
There's
gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
There's gonna
be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
Lord I know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
the moon's shinin' bright
so turn
out the light, and we'll get it right.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
a
heartache tonight I know.
Heartache baby,
Somebody's gonna hurt someone, (somebody)
Before the night is
through
Somebody's gonna come undone,
There's nothin' we can
do
(Everybody) Everybody wants to touch somebody
if it takes all
night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
To make it come out right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I
know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight ,I
know
Let's go.
We can beat around the bushes;
we can get down to the
bone
We can leave it in the parkin' lot,
but either way, there's gonna be
a
heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.
There'll be a heartache
tonight
a heartache tonight I know.

Those Shoes
Written by:Felder/Frey/Henley
Tell us what you're gonna do tonight, mama.
There
must be someplace you can go
In the middle of the tall drinks and the
drama,
there must be someone you know.
God knows, you're lookin' good enough,
but you're so smooth and the
world's so rough.
You might have somethin' to loose.
Oh, no, pretty mama,
what you gonna
do in those shoes?
Got those pretty little straps around your ankles
Got those shiny little
chains around your heart.
You go to have your independence
but you don't
know just where to start.
Desperation in the singles bars
an' all those jerkoffs in their fancy
cars.
you can't believe your reviews.
Oh, no, you can't do that,
once you started wearin' those shoes
They're lookin' at you, leanin' on you
Tell you anything you want to
hear
They give you tablets of love
They're waiting for you
got to score
you
handy with a shovel and so sincere
Ooh, they got the kid glove
You just want someone to talk to
They just wanna get their hands on
you
You get whatever you choose
Oh, no, you can't do that,
Once you
started wearin' those shoes.

Teenage Jail
Written by:Frey/Henley/Souther
Stare out the window,
You can't make the time
go
You don't even know why you're here
Wait for the weekend to go off the
deep end
and make everything disappear
You're lost in a teenage jail
So
you and so vicious and so frail
where something is always for sale
You're
lost in a teenage jail.
You're not like your mothers.
you're not like the others
You're not
quite like anyone else,
They don't even know you,
Got nothing to show you,
So get something
good for yourself
You're lost in a teenage jail
So young and so vicious
and so frail
Where something is always for sale.
You're lost in a teenage
jail.

The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks
Written by:Frey/Henley
There was beer all over the dance
floor
and the band was playin' rhythm and blues
You got down and did the
gator, and half
an hour later, you were barfin' all over your
Girlfriend's
shoes.
But the Greeks don't want no freaks.
The Greeks don't want no
freaks
Just put a little smile on them rosy cheeks,
'Cause the Greeks
don't want no freaks. (GATOR!!)
She was the pride and the passion of
Dixie
She did exactly what her daddy had planned.
She was perfect little
sister until somebody missed
her and they found her in the bushes with
the
boys in the band
But the Greeks don't want no freaks
The Greeks don't want
no freaks
So put a great big smile on them rosy cheeks,
'Cause the Greeks don't want
no freaks
No, the Greeks don't want no freaks
Said, the Greeks don't want
no freak
Just put that monster smile on them rosy cheeks
'Cause the Greeks don't
want no freaks
No, the Greeks don't want no freaks,
Ahh...

The Sad Cafe
Written by:Frey/Henley/Souther/Walsh
Out in the shiny night, the rain
was softly
falling
The tracks that ran down the boulevard had
all been washed away
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
And I remember the
times we spent
inside the Sad Cafe
Oh, it seemed like a holy place,
protected by amazing grace
And we
would sing right out loud, the
things we could not say
We thought we could
change this world
with words like "love" and "freedom"
We were part of the
lonely crowd
Inside the Sad Cafe
Oh, expecting to fly,
we would meet on that shore in the
sweet by and
by
Some of their dreams came true,
some just passed away
And some of the
stayed behind
inside the Sad Cafe.
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Now that Glory Train, it don't
stop here no more
Now I look at the years gone by,
and wonder at the
powers that be.
I don't know why fortune smiles on some
and let's the rest
go free
Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
But things in this life change
very slowly,
if they ever change at all
There's no use in asking
why,
it just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight baby
inside the
Sad Cafe.
Why don't you meet me at midnight baby,
inside the Sad Cafe.
