The Hooters - Karla With A K

 
Freedom has its ups and downs
Walk the streets of lonesome town
Try to find some company
Somebody who will talk to me

Well I'm here all alone
A wind blows home
We'll find it someday
There's no reason to cry
For days gone by
Oh, Karla, we can make it if we try

Hurricanes and Cadillacs
They run you down and don't look back
Oh where can my salvation be
A tender touch to comfort me

But I'm here all alone
A wind blows home
We'll find it someday
There's no reason to cry
For days gone by
Oh, Karla, we can make it if we try

No matter how the wind may blow
You belong to me
Like the mountains to the sky
And you know when I close my eyes
You're the one I see
Oh, Karla, we can make it if we try

Old man river's on the rise
Wash the circles from my eyes
Hurricane is on its way
You can call it Karla
Karla with a k

The Hooters - All You Zombies

 
Holy Moses met the Pharaoh
Yeah, he tried to set him straight
Looked him in the eye
"Let my people go"

Holy Moses on the mountain
High above the golden calf
Went to get the Ten Commandments
Yeah, he's just gonna break 'em in half

All you zombies, hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The pieces gonna fall on you

No one ever spoke to Noah
They all laughed at him instead
Working on his ark
Working all by himself

Only Noah saw it coming
40 days and 40 nights
Took his sons and daughters with him
Yeah, they were the Israelites

All you zombies, hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The rain's gonna fall on you

Holy Father, what's the matter?
Where have all your children gone?
Sitting in the dark, living all by themselves
You don't have to hide anymore

All you zombies, show your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The pieces gonna fall on you

All you zombies, show your faces (I know you're out there)
All you people in the street (Let's see you)
All you sittin' in high places
It's all gonna fall on you

Zombies...

The Hooters - Satellite

 
Hush little baby don't cry like that
God's gonna buy you a Cadillac
He's chosen you to do his will
You can spread the word in your coupe de ville

So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And if you still can't see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite

Look to the heavens and see it shine
Heals the sick and leads the blind
Tune it in and hear it say
It's countin' down to judgment day

So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And if you still can't see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite

Hey satellite man your time has come
Your word received by everyone
And should you fall, well that's ok
You love the ones that you betray

So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And when at last you see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite

The Hooters - Johnny B

 
It's a sleepless night, she's callin' your name
It's a lonely ride, I know how you want her
Again and again, you're chasin' a dream yeah
But Johnny my friend, she's not what she seems

Johnny B, how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red
Oh why can't you see, oh Johnny B

And when you drive her home, is she sittin' real close
Does she make you weak, well that's the way that she wants you
You're strung out again, she's taken you over
You've been here before, why can't you let go

Johnny B, how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red
Oh why can't you see, oh Johnny B

And when she calls your name, my sweet Johnny B
You can drive all night and you know she'll be waiting
To love you again, her kiss is her poison
Forever inside you, wherever you go

Johnny B, how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red
Oh why can't you see, oh Johnny B

Johnny B, how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red
Oh why can't you see, oh Johnny B

Oh, can't you see, oh, Johnny B
Oh, can't you see

The Hooters - 500 Miles

 
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
And the land that I once loved was not my own
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

A hundred tanks along the square,
One man stands and stops them there
Some day soon, the tide will turn, and I'll be free
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country,
Some day soon the tide will turn and I'll be free

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
