When the Light Goes Down (Triumph)

When the Lights Go Down

Spotlights
Houselights ready to cue
Backstage smoke is risin’
Steamin’ like a witch’s brew
I want to play some rock ‘n’ roll
I want to sing the blues
Yes I know
I feel it comin’
Let the party roll

When the lights go down
We’re ready to play the blues
When the lights go down
It’s time to light, time to light, time to light the fuse

Oh no
They’re screamin’ like the 4th of July
Hollywood comes to your hometown
Hammers cocked and ready to fire
I’ve got itchy fingers
For the trigger tonight
And I’m tired of waitin’
So tired
Let the party roll

Time Goes By (Triumph)

<Thunder Seven>

Time Goes By

Can’t you feel the thunder, rollin’ in a young man’s heart
Can’t you see the frustration it’s tearin’ him apart
He’s got a hunger for power, he wants to have it all
Sometimes he feels like he’s bangin’ his head up against the wall
Out in the real world living a lie
Can’t seem to make the change, but he can’t say why
As Time Goes By
Nobody really knows what to say, tomorrow is another day
That seems a million miles away, so far away

CHORUS:
Time Goes By, bridges burn and big wheels turn and
Time can fly, will it ever bring you back again?
You know that I can’t live without your love
Time Goes By, you know I’ll never make it alone
Make it alone

Can’t you see the fire burnin’ in a young girl’s eyes
Does she think that she moves ahead if she cuts me down to size
Everybody’s got two cents to try to buy some time
But they don’t even know their own hearts
What can they know of mine?
Call out for reasons echoes the cry
She waits, anticipates; no reply as Time Goes By
Oh baby I don’t know what to say
Tomorrow is another day
You seem a million miles away, so far away

CHORUS

We all bear witness as history unfolds
Let’s hope tomorrow can deliver on the promise that she holds
Don’t look back in anger, don’t look ahead in fear
You just keep takin’ her as she comes until she comes in clear
The love you send out returns to you in time
The wheel gets turned around by those who try
For all their lives

CHORUS

Time Canon (Triumph)

<Thunder Seven>

Time Canon

Time and time and time again
Time after time after time
Round and round and round again
Time never waits
Time never ends
All of your life
All the time
Goes on by
By and by and by

Suitcase Blues (Triumph)

Suitcase Blues

It’s four in the morning,
There’s not a soul around
This dirty hotel room
Has really got me down
A modern day minstrel,
They got my name in lights
I wish these days of glamour
Didn’t have these lonely nights
I’m on the road to fortune
And I got the suitcase blues real bad

I guess I’m makin’ payments
For the dues that must be paid
I cash another song
Into this endless masquerade
Halfway through the circuit
And headed for the coast
Been gone so long
I can’t remember
What I miss the most, ah, but,
Me and Johnny Walker,
And the comfort that he brings,
Waitin’ on the telephone
That never, ever rings
On the lonely road to fortune,
And I got the suitcase blues real bad

I got the blues
And I got them really bad
The suitcase blues
Are the worst I ever had
All by my lonesome
And I’m halfway ‘round the bend
I don’t mind drinkin’ solo
But I sure could use a friend

Me and Johnny Walker,
And the comfort that he brings,
Waitin’ on the telephone
That never, ever rings
On the lonely road to fortune,
And I got the suitcase blues real bad

Spellbound (Triumph)

<Thunder Seven>

Spellbound

If looks could kill then I know she would
She’s playing the part, you know it’s understood
I know the second glance was my first mistake
I took the chance that I had to take
Fire in her eyes made my blood run cold
She took me by surprise and I’m

CHORUS:
Spellbound, dreaming of you all the time
Spellbound, feels like I’m falling over the line
Spellbound, will my head be clear by the morning light

I don’t make promises I can’t keep
But I better think it over, I’m in way too deep
I’m shook up, paralyzed by her icy stare, long legs and golden hair
Late night love is on my mind
She took me by surprise and I’m

CHORUS

I’m on a one way ride to where I just don’t know
She put a spell on me, the fantasy comes and goes

I clear my head in the morning light
Start all over when I feel alright
I’ve gotta shape up before it’s too late
I think I’m losin’ my mind and I’m

CHORUS

Spellbound, can’t find a reason, can’t find a rhyme
Spellbound, give me a signal, show me a sign
Spellbound, will my head be clear in the morning light
