In God's Country (McNichols Arena, Denver - 8th November 1987)
 
 
 
     In God's Country
 
     Desert sky
     Dream beneath a desert sky
     The rivers run but soon run dry
     We need new dreams tonight
 
     Desert rose
     Dreamed I saw a desert rose
     Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
     Like a siren she calls to me
 
     Sleep comes like a drug
     In God's Country
     Sad eyes, crooked crosses
     In God's Country
 
     Naked flame
     She stands with a naked flame
     I stand with the sons of Cain
     Burned by the fire of love
     Burned by the fire of love
 
     Thank you
    
 
 
Hawkmoon 269
 
 
 
     Like a desert needs rain
     Like a town needs a name
     I need your love
 
     Like a drifter needs a room
     Hawkmoon
     I need your love
     I need your love
 
     Like a rhythm unbroken
     Like drums in the night
     Like sweet soul music
     Like sunlight
     I need your love
 
     Like coming home
     And you don't know where you've been
     Like black coffee
     Like nicotine
     I need your love (I need your love)
     I need your love (I need your love)
     I need your love (I need your love)
 
     When the night has no end
     And the day yet to begin
     As the room spins around
     I need your love
     I need your love
 
     Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree
     Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy
     I need your love
 
     Like the hot needs the sun
     Like honey on her tongue
     Like the muzzle of a gun
     Like oxygen
     I need your love (I need your love)
     I need your love (I need your love)
     I need your love (I need your love)
 
     When the night has no end
     And the day yet to begin
     As the room spins around
     I need your love
 
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
 
     Like thunder needs rain
     Like a preacher needs pain
     Like tongues of flame
     Like a sheet stained
     I need your love
     I need your love
 
     Like a needle in a vein
     Like someone to blame
     Like a thought unchained
     Like a runaway train
     I need your love
 
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
     I need your love...
 
     Like faith needs a doubt
     Like a freeway out
     I need your love
     Like powder needs a spark
     Like lies need the dark
     I need your love
 
     In the heart of the heat of the love
     In the heart of the heat of the love...
     In the heart of the heat of the love...
     In the heart of the heat of the love...
     In the heart of the heat of the love...
     In the heart of the heat of the love...
 
 
 
Bad (McNichols Arena, Denver - 8th November 1987)
 
 
 
     If you twist and turn away
     If you tear yourself in two again
     If I could, Ya know I would
     If I could, I would
     Let it go
 
     Surrender
     Dislocate
 
     If I could throw this
     Lifeless lifeline to the wind
     Leave this heart of clay
     See you walk, walk away
     Into the night
     Through the day
 
     I could through myself
     Set your spirit free
     I'd lead your heart away
     See you break, break away
     Into the light
     Through the day
     Into the half-light
     Through the flame
     Sing it
 
     To let it go
     And so fade away
     To let it go
     And so fade away
 
     I'm wide awake
     I'm wide awake
     Wide awake
     I'm not sleeping
     Oh, no
     I'm not sleeping
 
     If they should ask then
     Well maybe they'd
     Tell me what I would say
     True colors fly in blue and black
     Bruised silken sky and burning flag
     Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes
 
     If I could, you know I would
     If I could, I would
     Let it go...
 
     This desperation
     Separation
     Condemnation
     In temptation
     Isolation
     Revelation
     Isolation
     Revelation
     Let it go
     And so fade away
     Let it go
     And so fade, fade, fade away
     Not fade away
     No, no
     Not fade away
     No, no
     Not fade away
     Let it go
     And so fade away
     To let it go
     And so fade, fade, fade away
     Fade away
     Not fade away
     No, no
     Not fade away
 
     I'm wide awake
     I'm wide awake
     Wide awake
     I'm not sleeping
     Oh no
     I'm not sleeping
     Oh no

     Goodbye Ruby Tueday
     Who could hang a name on you?
     Goodbye Ruby Tueday
     Who could hang a name on you?
 
     Pleased to meet you
     I hope you guess my name
     Oh yeah
     You know I'm pleased to meet you
     I hope you guess my name
     To let it go
     And so fade away
     To let it go
     And so fade, fade, fade away
 

 
 
God Part II
 
 
 
     Don't believe the devil
     I don't believe his book
     But the truth is not the same
     Without the lies he made up
 
     Don't believe in excess
     Success is to give
     Don't believe in riches
     But you should see where I live
     I... I believe in love
 
     Don't believe in forced entry
     Don't believe in rape
     But every time she passes by
     Wild thoughts escape
     I don't believe in death row
     Skid row or the gangs
     Don't believe in the Uzi
     It just went off in my hand
     I... I... I believe in love
 
     Don't believe in cocaine
     Got a speed-ball in my head
     I could cut and crack you open
     Do you hear what I said
     Don't believe them when they tell me
     There ain't no cure
     The rich stay healthy
     The sick stay poor
     I... I believe in love
 
     Don't believe in Goldman
     His type like a curse
     Instant Karma's going to get him
     If I don't get him first
     Don't believe in rock 'n' roll
     Can really change the world
     As it spins in revolution
     It spirals and turns
     I... I believe in love
 
     Don't believe in the 60's
     The golden age of pop
     You glorify the past
     When the future dries up
     Heard a singer on the radio, late last night
     He says he's gonna kick the darkness
     'til it bleeds daylight
     I... I believe in love
 
     I feel like I'm falling
     Like I'm spinning on a wheel
     It always stops beside of me
     With a presence I can feel
     I...I believe in love
 
 
 
With or Without You (Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe - 19th December 1987)
 
 
 
     See the stone set in your eyes
     See the thorn twist in your side
     I'll wait for you
 
     Slight of hand and twist of fate
     On a bed of nails she makes me wait
     And I wait without you
 
     With or without you
     With or without you
 
     Through the storm we reach the shore
     You give it all, but I want more
     And I'm waiting for you
 
     With or without you
     With or without you
     I can't live
     With or without you
 
     Yeah you
 
     And you give yourself away
     And you give yourself away
     And you give
     And you give
     And you give yourself away
 
     My hands are tied
     My body bruised, she got me with
     Nothing to win and
     Nothing left to lose
 
     And you give yourself away
     And you give yourself away
     And you give
     And you give
     And you give yourself away
 
     With or without you
     With or without you
     I can't live
     With or without you
 
     With or without you
     With or without you
     I can't live
     With or without you
     With or without you
 
     Thank you
 
     Yeah
     We'll shine like stars in the summer night
     We'll shine like stars in the winter night
     One heart
     One hope
     One Love
     With or without you
     With or without you
     I can't live
     With or without you
     With or without you
