Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
["Riders on the Storm": Verse 1]
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
["Riders on the Storm": Verse 2]

Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand

Our life will never end
Gotta love your man
Yeah

["Pearls Before Swine": Verse 1]
He put it out
It meant nothin' in the world to him, so he laid it out
His hunger needed some attention
So he lays it out
Swapped it all for a bowl of pork and beans
And he got put out
Left for poor by a man of means
Here we go
["Pearls Before Swine": Chorus 1]
Esau, you sold
You gave it away
Esau, you sought it with tears
Couldn't get it back again
Yes, she laid it out
[Guitar Solo]
["Money": Verse 1]
The best things in life are free
But you can keep it for the birds and bees
["Money": Chorus 1]
Do you want money?
Is that all you want?
That's what you want, yeah
Is that what you want?
["Money": Verse 2]
Your love, it give me a thrill
But your love, it won't pay my bills
["Money": Chorus 1]
Is it money, honey?
Is that what you want, honey?
Oh, that's what you want
["Money": Chorus 2]
Give me money!
Oh, all your money!
Oh, will it make you free?
Oh, your money, honey, yes
That's what you want
Oh, it's what you want
