Eagles - Hell Frezes Over (Album) Lyrics
Get Over ItI turn on the tube and what do I seeA whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody elseSpend all their time feelin' sorry for themselvesVictim of this, victim of thatYour momma's too thin; your daddy's too fatGet over itGet over itAll this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fitGet over it, get over itYou say you haven't been the same since you had your little crashBut you might feel better if I gave you some cashThe more I think about it, Old Billy was rightLet's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonightYou don't want to work, you want to live like a kingBut the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thingGet over itGet over itIf you don't want to play, then you might as well splitGet over it, Get over itIt's like going to confession every time I hear you speakYou're makin' the most of your losin' streakSome call it sick, but I call it weakYou drag it around like a ball and chainYou wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the painYou wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crownGot your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody downComplain about the present and blame it on the pastI'd like to find your inner child and kick it's little assGet over itGet over itAll this *****in' and moanin' and pitchin' a fitGet over it, get over itGet over itGet over itIt's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quitGet over it, get over itLove Will Keep Us AliveI was standingAll alone against the world outsideYou were searchingFor a place to hideLost and lonelyNow you've given me the will to surviveWhen we're hungry...love will keep us aliveDon't you worrySometimes you've just gotta let it rideThe world is changingRight before your eyesNow I've found youThere's no more emptiness insideWhen we're hungry...love will keep us aliveI would die for youClimb the highest mountainBaby, there's nothing I wouldn't doI was standingAll alone against the worlk outsideYou were searchingFor a place to hideLost and lonelyNow you've given me the will to surviveWhen we're hungry...love will keep us aliveWhen we're hungry...love will keep us aliveWhen we're hungry...love will keep us aliveThe Girl From YesterdayIt wasn't reall sad the way they said good-byeOr maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cryHe packed his things, walked out the door and drove awayAnd she became the girl from yesterdayHe took a plane across the seaTo some foreign landShe stayed at home and tried to understandHow someone who had been so close could be so far awayAnd she became the girl from yesterdayShe doesn't know what's rightShe doesn't know what's wrongShe only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so longAnd she doesn't count the teardropsThat she's cried while he's awayBecause she knows deep in her heartThat he'll be back somedayThe light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phoneTalking to a memory that's never coming homeShe dreams of his returning and the things that he might sayBut she'll always be the girl from yesterdayYeh, she'll always be the girl from yesterdayLearn To Be StillIt's just another day in paradiseAs you stumble to your bedYou'd give anything to silenceThose voices ringing in your headYou thought you could find happinessJust over that green hillYou thought you would be satisfiedBut you never will-Learn to be stillWe are like sheep without a shepherdWe don't know how to be aloneSo we wander 'round this desertAnd wind up following the wrong gods homeBut the flock cries out for anotherAnd they keep answering that bellAnd one more starry-eyed messiahMeets a violent farewell-Learn to be stillLearn to be stillNow the flowers in your gardenThey don't smell so sweetMaybe you've forgottenThe heaven lying at your feet-Solo-There are so many contridictionsIn all these messages we send(We keep asking)How do I get out of hereWhere do I fit in?Though the world is torn and shakenEven if your heart is breakin'It's waiting for you to awakenAnd someday you will-Learn to be stillLearn to be stillYou just keep on runnin'Keep on runnin'Tequila SunriseIt's another tequila sunriseStarin' slowly 'cross the sky, said goodbyeHe was just a hired handWorkin' on the dreams he planned to tryThe days go byEv'ry night when the sun goes downJust another lonely boy in townAnd she's out runnin' 'roundShe wasn't just another womanAnd I couldn't keep from comin' onIt's been so longOh, and it's a hollow feelin' whenIt comes down to dealin' friendsIt never endsTake another shot of courageWonder why the right words never comeYou just get numbIt's another tequila sunrise,this old worldStill looks the same,Another frame, mm...Hotel CaliforniaOn a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hairWarm smell of colitas, rising up through the airUp ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering lightMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dimI had to stop for the nightThere she stood in the doorway;I heard the mission bellAnd I was thinking to myself,'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the wayThere were voices down the corridor,I thought I heard them say...Welcome to the Hotel CaliforniaSuch a lovely placeSuch a lovely facePlenty of room at the Hotel CaliforniaAny time of year, you can find it hereHer mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bendsShe got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friendsHow they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.Some dance to remember, some dance to forgetSo I called up the Captain,'Please bring me my wine'He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'And still those voices are calling from far away,Wake you up in the middle of the nightJust to hear them say...Welcome to the Hotel CaliforniaSuch a lovely placeSuch a lovely faceThey livin' it up at the Hotel CaliforniaWhat a nice surprise, bring your alibisMirrors on the ceiling,The pink champagne on iceAnd she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'And in the master's chambers,They gathered for the feastThe stab it with their steely knives,But they just can't kill the beastLast thing I remember, I wasRunning for the doorI had to find the passage backTo the place I was before'Relax,'said the night man,We are programmed to receive.You can checkout any time you like,But you can never leave!Wasted TimeWell baby, there you standWith your little head, down in your handOh, my God, you can't believe it's happeningAgainYour baby's gone, and you're all aloneAnd it looks like the end.And you're back out on the street.And you're tryin' to remember.How will you start it over?You don't know what became.You don't care much for a stranger's touch,But you can't hold your man.You never thought you'd be alone this farDown the lineAnd I know what's been on your mindYou're afraid it's all been wasted timeThe autumn leaves have got you thinkingAbout the first time that you fellYou didn't love the boy too much, no, noYou just loved the boy to well, FarewellSo you live from day to day, and you dreamAbout tomorrow, oh.And the hours go by like minutesAnd the shadows come to staySo you take a little something toMake them go awayAnd I could have done so many things, babyIf I could only stop my mind from wondrin' whatI left behind and from worrying 'bout theis wasted timeOoh, another love has come and goneOoh, and the years keep rushing onI remeber what you told me before you went out on your own:"Sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone."So you can get on with your search,baby, and I canGet on with mineAnd maybe someday we will find , that it wasn't reallyWasted timeMm,hmOh hoo, ooh, ohh,Ooh,ooh, mmPretty Maids All In A RowHi there,How are 'ya?It's been a long timeMy, but we learn so slowAnd heroes, they comeAnd they goAnd leave us behind as ifWe're s'pposed to know whyWhy do we give up our hearts to the past?And why must we grow up so fast?And all you wishing well foolsWith your fortunesSomeone should send you a rose withLove from a friend,It's nice to here from youAgainAnd the storybook comes to a closeGone are the ribbons and bowsThings to remember places to goPretty Maids all in a RowOh, oh oh, oh......I Can't Tell You WhyLook at us baby, up all nightTearing our love apartAren't we the same two people who liveThrough years in the dark?Ahh...Every time I try to walk awaySomething makes me turn around and stayAnd I can't tell you whyWhen we get crazy,It just ain't to right,(try to keep you head, little girl)Girl, I get lonely,tooYou don't have to worryJust hold on tight(don't get caught in your little world)'Cause I love youNothing's wrong as far as I can seeWe make it harder than it has to beAnd I can't tell you whyNo, baby, I can't tell you whyI can't tell you whyNo,no, baby, I can't tell you whyI can't tell you whyI can't tell you whyNew York MinuteHarry got upDressed all in blackWent down to the stationAnd he never came backThey found his clothingScattered somewhere down the trackAnd he won't be down on Wall StreetIn the morningHe had a homeThe love of a girlBut men get lost sometimesAs years unfoldOne day he crossed some lineAnd he was too much in this worldBut I guess it doesn't matter anymoreIn a New York MinuteEverything can changeIn a New York MinuteThings can get pretty strangeIn a New York MinuteEverything can changeIn a New York MinuteLying here in the darknessI hear the sirens wailSomebody going to emergencySomebody's going to jailIf you find somebody to love in this worldYou better hand on tooth and nailThe wolf is always at the doorIn a New York MinuteEverything can changeIn a New York MinuteThings can get a little strangeIn a New York MinuteEverything can changeIn a New York MinuteAnd in these daysWhen darkness falls earlyAnd people rush homeTo the ones they loveYou better take a fool's adviceAnd tak care of your ownOne day they're here;Next day they're goneI pulled my coat around my shouldersAnd took a walk down through the parkThe leaves were falling around meThe groaning city in the gathering darkOn some solitary rockA desperate lover left his mark,"Baby, I've changed. Please come back."What the head makes cloudyThe heart makes very clearThe days were so much brighterIn the time when she was hereBut I know there's somebody somewhereMake these dark clouds disappearUntil that day, I have to believeI believe, I believeIn a New York MinuteEverything can changeIn a New York MinuteYou can get out of the rainIn a New York MinuteEverything can changeIn a New York MinuteThe Last ResortShe came from Providence,The one in Rhode IslandWhere the old world shadows handHeavy in the airShe packed her hopes and dreamsLike a refugeeJust as her father came across the seaShe heard about a place people were simlin'They spoke about the red man's way,And how they loved the landAnd they came from everywhereTo the Great DivideSeeking a place to standOr a place to hideDown in the crowded bars,Out for a good time,Can't wait to tell you all,What it's like up thereAnd they called it paradiseI don't know whySomebody laid the mountains lowWhile the town got highThen the chilly winds blew downAcross the desertThrough the canyons of the coast, toThe MalibuWhere the pretty people play,Hungry for powerTo light their neon wayAnd give them things to doSome rich men came and raped the land,Nobody caught 'emPut up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,People bought 'emAnd they called it paradiseThe place to beThey watched the hazy sun, sinking in the seaYou can leave it all behindAnd sail to LahainaJust like the missionaries did, so many years agoThey even brought a neon sign:"Jesus is coming"Brought the white man's burden downBrought the white man's reignWho will provide the grand design?What is yours and what is mine?'Cause there is no more new frontierWe have got to make it hereWe satifsy our endless needs andJustify our bloody deeds,In the name of destiny and the nameOf GodAnd you can see them there,On Sunday morningThey call it paradiseI don't know whyYou call someplace paradise,Kiss it goodbyeTake it EasyWell, I'm running down the roadTryin' to loosen my loadI've got seven women on my mind,Four that wanna own me,Two that wanna stone me,One says she's a friend of mineTake It easy, take it easyDon't let the sound of your ownWheels drive you crazyLighten up while you still canDon't even try to understandJust find a place to make your standAnd take it easyWell, I'm a standing on a cornerIn Winslow, ArizonaAnd such a fine sight to seeIt's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbedFord slowin' down to take a lookAt meCome on, baby, don't say maybeI gotta know if your sweet love isGonna save meWe may lose and we may win thoughWe will never be here againSo open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easyWell I'm running down the road trying to loosenMy load,Got a world of trouble on my mindLookin' for a lover who won't blow myCover, she's so hard to findTake it easy, take it easyDon't let the sound of your ownWheels make you crazyCome on babyDon't say maybeI gotta know if your sweet love isGonna save me, oh oh ohOh we got it easyWe oughta take it easyIn the CitySomewhere out there on that horizonOur beyond the neon lightsI know there must be somethin' betterBut there's nowhere else in sightIt's survival in the cityWhen you live from day to dayCity streets don't have much pityWhen you're down, that's where you'll stayIn the city,oh,oh.In the cityI was born here in the cityWith my back against the wallNothing grows, and life ain't very prettyNo one's there to catch you when you fallSomewhere out on that horizonFaraway from the neon skyI know there must be somethin' betterAnd I can't stay another nightIn the city,oh,oh.In the cityLife In The Fast LaneHe was a hard-headed manHe was brutally handsome, and she was teminally prettyShe held him up, and he held her for ransome in the heartOf the cold, cold cityHe had a nasty reputation as a cruel dudeThey said he was ruthless, they said he was crudeThey had one thing in common, they wereGood in bedShe'd say, 'Faster,faster.
