Smoke and mirrors
It's a house of cards
Everybody has windows
And big cigars
The law of the jungle
Is very new to some
The animals are vicious and arrogant
And they eat their young
I used to work my job from 9 to 5
I just survived
I was the king of the world
I had every thing thrown at me,
That the judge and jury could hurl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way up,
To the very top of the tower
Helter skelter
It's a den of thieves
Sea of errors
That a greedy man weaves
A few really bad apples
Always spoil the lot
Rolling blackouts
On everyone's block
I go to work and try to make ends meet
My life is over
I was the king of the world
I had everything I needed,
I owned every type of girl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way,
Up to the very top of the tower
Instrumental Break
I was the king of the world
I had everything I needed,
I owned every type of girl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way,
You supply the night, baby,
I'll supply the love
You supply the night, baby,
I'll supply the love
I see a horseman in the sky,
It makes me turn and wonder why
I hear the same old fourteen reasons,
Must be the changin' of the seasons
I met the girl across the sea,
She saved my life and came with me
A tender night of dark persuasion,
Could be my first and last occasion
Baby, I'll supply the love, baby,
(Instrumental)
Can you tell me where I might find the Hydra
Is he wearing a familiar face
Does he still live below Seventh Avenue
With the princess dipped in lace And not a victim of circumstance
We drew lots for his soft underbelly
Now his fate is sealed with my lance
Chorus:
I can tell by the look in your eye
You've never seen the man with nothing to say
I can tell by the look in your eye
You'd better watch yourself
St. George is on his way
Is it true that he's a mighty warrior
And a viper of the first degree
I've been sentenced here to slay the giant
Geld this fear I cannot see
Can you tell me where I might find the Hydra
Is he wearing a familiar face
Does he still live below Seventh Avenue
In the slums of Satan's grace
Chorus
Your hair's a mess
You better put on a dress
And get your feet back on the ground
You fix your eyes
For some city guys
Who wouldn't save you if you drowned
You hang on Forty-second street
And do your homework in the bar
Saint Helen says you're missin' school
And I'm wond'rin' where you are
Holyanna
Holyanna
Girl, what you do to me
Holyanna
Holyanna
Girl, you're a blue-eyed mystery
You read your books
Until nobody looks
And then you slip out after dark
You steal my love
Then say you're sorry
And do your penance in the park
You fooled your mother when you skipped ballet
To paint your face for the midnight show
And in the morning you knelt beside your bed
She got fingernails like knives, she got twenty-four karat eyes
She wants everything she sees, she'll drop you to your knees
She ain't gonna change her wicked ways, I'll love her till my dying day
She got poison heart, painted smile, she always has a girlfriend
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Chorus:
She knows the devil, she knows the devil
She knows the devil, and the devil knows me
She knows the devil, she knows the devil
She knows the devil, and the devil knows me
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Bad little girl with a vermin tongue, ooh, she loves to have her fun
The daughter of Mephistopheles, she loves to aim and she aims to please
She'll take any young god and burn him down
He'll see who's the queen and who's the clown
She got lips that bleed, she's what I need, I want her for my girlfriend
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Chorus
(Instrumental break)
She wants everything she sees, she'll drop you to your knees
She ain't gonna change her wicked ways, I'll love her till my dying day
She got poison heart, painted smile, she always brings a girlfriend
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, she knows the devil
Whoa, whoa, whoa, she knows the devil
Know these words are wrong to say
Need you more and more each day
Hey Mrs. Johnson
Give me your answer as fast as you can
Hey Mrs. Johnson
Don't you know I really love you
Here's my life, it's yours today
Help me chase the blues away
Know these words are wrong to say
She know you bad
You don't sing songs of love
She treats you right, she treats you like a web of love
You know who's of the heart, her notions of societies
You belong to know and just like our sophiaties
Modern eyes
Modern eyes, to see what you want to see
Modern eyes
Modern eyes, she'll paint you with the modern eyes
What you look for in people is not hard to recognize
Black man, white man, short man
They're all the same in size
You breath the air, you feel the sea and the sand and the skies
When nighttime comes you blind men with modern eyes
She'll paint you with the hupskin on
She'll paint you with the fire in your eyes
Listen to my story
'Cause it may never be the same
And a young man in his glory
He may never see her again
Hey Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you
But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms
If I could just remember
What she told me with her eyes
'Cause Daisy ain't a member
And her eyes stare as I forage the skies
The world is precious, a gift to you and me
I suggest we treat her right, with love and dignity
Everybody's looking for some peace of mind
If you seek the truth then you will surely find
Everybody wants to have global peace
Whilst the press of a button can shake the world to its knees
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying
Those who say might is right, I beg to disagree
I say we all unite and redirect our destiny
Everybody's looking for a quick solution
Our longs are choking from breating in air polution
I say put down your guns and stop the revolution
And say this time we make a restitution
Can you hear me now, I am calling right out for you
(Can you hear me calling out to you, can you hear me calling out to you)
There's so much starvation, so much say untruth
So much prejudice, there's so much liquidation - oh how long, how long
Can you hear what I'm saying
Mama, I don't love you anymore
Money's got me crawlin' on the floor
Lover, I'm so ashamed that I must go
Funny somehow I thought by now you'd know
Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
"Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away."
Mama, please throw me out in the cold
Woman, the love you bought was never sold
Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
"Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away."
Mama, I don't love you anymore
Sorry I'm not the boy you're looking for
(See the girl with they eyes on fire
All us boys like to drink and smoke
Pull off a joke
Blow your minds and leave
Hot tires behind
All us boys like to fight and kick
Carry a stick
We're getting older
And acting bolder
Mothers tell your daughters
To stay away from Rock 'n Roll
'Cause it may entice them
And mesmerize them
Even satisfy their soul
I'm sure mama told you 'bout making love
And the skies above
With its fallen angels
Diet pills
Female thrills
But mama never told you 'bout
All us boys
Mothers tell your daughters
To stay away from rock and roll
'Cause it may entice them
And mesmerize them
Even satisfy their soul
All us boys just want to play
instrumental
Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes
Some people's destiny
Passes by
There are no guarantees
There are no alibis
That's how our love must be
Don't ask why
[Bridge:]
It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you
Chorus:
As soon as my heart stops breakin'
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
I'll be over you
Remembering times gone by
Promises we once made
What are the reasons why
Nothing stays the same
[Bridge:]
There were the nights holding you close
Someday I'll try to forget them
(chorus)
adlib
as soon as my heart stops aching
anticipating
someday ill be over you
as soon as my heart stops aching
anticipating
someday ill be over you
as soon as my heart....
If you're dreamin', son don't you rise, I never get lost, so deep into us
I won't give up until you give in, but I know you must realize
I could be good for you, you could be good for me too, yeah
I could be good for you, you could be good for me too
Everyone knows, but they don't know why, how much will a smile, you satisfy
Stars gonna shine, the way that you feel, so there is no reason, I wonder why
I could be good for you, you could be good for me too, yeah
I could be good for you, you could be good for me too
I could be good for you, you could be good for me too, yeah
I could be good for you, you could be good for me too
I could be good for you, you could be good for me too, yeah
I could be good for you, you could be good for me too
(Instrumental)
(Instrumental)
(Instrumental)
Get out I won't even listen
I can't hear a single word you say
Enough of your intimidation
Don't tell me 'bout the price I pay
Take off don't want your kind of trouble
Don't wanna see you hangin' 'round my place
It's late and here's the situation
I never wanna see your face
You just drag me down
And I've got the scars to show
I think you oughta know
You got the best of me
Mister Friendly
You got the best of me
Don't ask can't promise any favors
Don't want to owe you in anything again
Bad luck it's your occupation
Can't you see you are your own worst friend
I'm gone the masquerade is over
I'm cashin' in the silver tray
So long I can't buy this evil game you play
You just drag me down
And I've got the scars to show
I think you oughta know
You got the best of me
Mister Friendly
You got the best of me
He's standing in your way
You smile like it's okay
Knowing you'll show him somehow
You're running out of time
Too late to change your mind
No one can save you now
You got the best of me
Mister Friendly
You got the best of me
At the end of my life
When it's time to depart
Will the last face I see be yours
When I take my last breath
And I drift through the dark
Will I look 'round and still feel secure
It's no sacrifice to stay by your side
Till hell freezes clear to the core
Whatever the price
No matter how high
Over your shoulder
When you turn around
I'll be tellin' you
No love will ever be stronger
No love not anywhere, no no
No love will ever last longer
If I can't have your love, I don't want no love at all
I'll put my change on the dresser
Next to your scarf
Cook my heart in the skillet next to yours
Ten thousand tears lead up to now
You are the treasure for sure
Lines on my face they get deeper each day
But the feelings are ageless and smooth
One single trace of doubt still remains
Over my shoulder, when I turn around,
Will you be tellin' me
It's no sacrifice to stay by your side
Till hell freezes clear to the core
Whatever the price
No matter how high
Over your shoulder
When you turn around
I got my feet back on the ground
We were headed for disaster
Woke up, I got ready for work
You weren't around
I was fast, but you were faster
Such a night, feeling right
Nothing I could say
(Don't take it away)
Have to know, why'd you go?
Couldn't even beg you to stay
Lyin' in a sweat, tryin' to forget
All of my lovin' for you girl
Lyin' in a sweat, tryin' to forget
All of my lovin' for you girl
Huntress
you compell me with your eyes
It's my heart that you're enslaving
Serpent dance
You really hypnotize
To the lion's den is the road for me you're paving
In a trance, saw you dance
And you made romance to me
(Don't take it away)
Took a chance, circumstance
And it wasn't hard to see
Lyin' in a sweat, tryin' to forget
All of my lovin' for you girl
Lyin' in a sweat, tryin' to forget
All of my lovin' for you girl
You're the one that made me feel this way
So alone without your smile
You took my heart
Left my soul to pay
Just to watch me crawl on another smile
Lyin' in a sweat, tryin' to forget
All of my lovin' for you girl
Lyin' in a sweat, tryin' to forget
The world is precious, a gift to you and me
I suggest we treat her right, with love and dignity
Everybody's looking for some peace of mind
If you seek the truth then you will surely find
Everybody wants to have global peace
While the press of a button can shake the world to its knees
Chorus:
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying
There are those who say might is right, I beg to disagree
I say we all unite and redirect our destiny
Everybody's looking for a quick solution
Our lungs are chocking from beathing air polution
I say put down your guns and stop the revolution
I say it's time we make a restitution, yes
Chorus - can you hear me now
Chorus repeats 2x
Can you hear me now, I am calling out to you
(Can you hear me calling out to you, can you hear me calling out to you)
There's so much starvation, so much say untruth
So much prejudice, there's so much liquidation - oh how long, how long
Can you hear what I'm saying
Africa, America, Eurasia, Latin Africa
Momma said be careful what you do
Don't you let just anybody talk to you
I can't hide the way you make me feel inside
I'm afraid if momma only knew
It feels right
If you want me
You got me
If you need me
You got me all night
And if you love me
You got me all night long
I confess I love the things you do
Your caress keeps me coming
Back to you
If you want me
You got me
If you need me
You got me all night
And if you love me
You got me all night long
If you want me
You got me
If you need me
You got me all night
And if you love me
Hands, don't let her go, 'cause then the midnight icy winds will blow
Eyes, give every drop, this ain't the way that should have made her stop
Arms, just let her know, no one fills the place she used to go
Smile, don't leave me now, 'cause you're the reason she's here anyhow
Words be gentle when you speak into her heart
'Cause if it breaks, she may not come again
I've been waitin' for your love
And it's been here all the time right in front of me
I've been sitting, waiting for your love
And all the time it's been here right in front of me
Look, forget your pride, she might kiss as you're like even tide
So, be in her heart, especially when we're apart
Love, be by my side, 'cause if she leaves there ain't no place to hide
Soul, be with her now, 'cause you're the first one she knew anyhow
Words be gentle when you speak into her heart
'Cause if it breaks, she may not come again
Words be gentle when you speak into her heart
'Cos if it breaks, she may not come again
I've been sittin', waitin' for your love,
And all the time it's been here right in front of me
Draw the line, I'll step across, even further I give in, you got me
I've been sitting, waiting for your love
And all the time it's been here right in front of me
Just separated by ten thousand miles, you're not alone, girl you got me
Guess I needn't tell you that I'm not around, I'm inside, you got me
I've been waitin' for your love
Everybody keeps talkin' about you
I can't lie anymore
Been too long
What went wrong?
It's a mystery
Why you ever walked out that door
What direction should I go?
Girl what's next for me
I don't know
Is it gonna get easier
Than tryin' to break these chains around my heart
Ohhh ohhh
Does it ever get easier
Without you I can't pull these chains apart
Ohhh ohhh
I see your face
When I look in the mirror
I feel your touch
But you're not there
Wakin' up
Had enough of this dream of mine
Girl this just isn't fair
What direction should I go?
Girl what's next for me
I don't know
Is it gonna get easier
Than tryin' to break these chains around my heart
Ohhh ohhh
Does it ever get easier
Without you I can't pull these chains apart
Ohhh ohhh
Day by day
Until they break
Ohhh ohhh
Is it gonna get easier
Than tryin' to break these chains around my heart
Ohhh ohhh
Does it ever get easier
Without you I can't pull these chains apart
You gave me too many chances
Now it's drivin' us apart
I keep on runnin' with the boys, girl
But then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you
'Cause you never let it show
I know I'm hanging on the edge now
But I won't let go
I never meant to hurt you
But something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance
We can make it this time
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Stay away, stay away from my heart
If you gave me three wishes
I'd throw two of them away
I've seen that look in your eye girl
I'd use the last one this way
We've been from rags to riches
But your love can't be bought
I'm just a junkyard dog, girl
Who's afraid he's been caught
You're standing in the shadows
Watching everything that I do
And I know the way things must look
It couldn't be further from the truth
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Remember how it used to be girl
Makin' love like it's the last time
We held each other close
Not knowing what we'd found
You felt the pounding of my thunder
As your rain was pouring down
I never meant to hurt you
But something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance
We can make it this time
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Stay away, stay away from my heart
When you meet a special person
And it feels good passing time
You tell yourself it's casual
But they have something else in mind
You try to make some reason
A voice calls out from across the room
She runs away without an answer
She runs away too soon
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
We all belong to someone
Sometimes they're so far away
You write down words in letters
Not quite sure what they say
You know that she needs you
And you miss her in your heart
But a certain feeling lingers
That keeps us miles apart
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
(You'd better believe)
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
(Oh Lord)
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
(You'd better believe)
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Don't know quite what to say
Haven't seen you in seven ages
Can you tell that it's me
Or is my picture on torn out pages?
And you think it's real
But it's just another future deal
And you know you're right
'Cause you've waited for it all night
Then you find yourself
Sitting on a little shelf
Don't know quite what to do
I've been acting my life in phases
Is it really true
That they're keeping us locked in cages?
And you think it's real
But it's just another future deal
And you know you're right
'Cause you've waited for it all night
Then you find yourself
Sitting on a little shelf
Rockmaker
And you think it's real
But it's just another future deal
And you know you're right
'Cause you've waited for it all night
Then you find yourself
Sitting on a little shelf
Everybody's moving way too fast
Before you blink you better find out who's in your path
The pressure's building up on every side
In my heart I know that I've got nothing to hide
What would make you think that you're the only one
Now I know my troubles have just begun
I'm on the run and nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run and I know you're watching me
There's not enough time to decide
You never know what the night could bring
Every moment all the angels begin to sing
Why the worry - just to save your pride
With all the answers buried so deep inside
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see the truth
It's gonna take a miracle to see this thing through
Chorus:
I'm on the run and nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run and I know you're watching me
I'm on the run and you can't say that I haven't tried
I'm on the run and nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run and I know you're watching me
Get out I won't even listen
I can't hear a single word you say
Enough of your intimidation
Don't tell me 'bout the price I pay
Take off don't want your kind of trouble
Don't wanna see you hangin' 'round my place
It's late and here's the situation
I never wanna see your face
You just drag me down
And I've got the scars to show
I think you oughta know
You got the best of me
Mister Friendly
You got the best of me
Don't ask can't promise any favors
Don't want to owe you in anything again
Bad luck it's your occupation
Can't you see you are your own worst friend
I'm gone the masquerade is over
I'm cashin' in the silver tray
So long I can't buy this evil game you play
You just drag me down
And I've got the scars to show
I think you oughta know
He's standing in your way
You smile like it's okay
Knowing you'll show him somehow
You're running out of time
Too late to change your mind
I've heard a lot of stories
So tell me if they're true
Oh I would die for you
Knowing that you're mine
You tell me that you're sorry
You say your heart is new
Oh I will cry for you
Call me and we'll dine
It's almost over Lorraine
Can you still feel the pain
Do you still want me to love you
It's such a funny day
Whoah oh oh
It's such a funny day
Tonight we sail for Paris
Where the streets are paved with gold
Your eyes have blessed my soul
Your lips, they've blessed the wine
We'll tame the Gulf of Lyons
I'll wed thee in Marseilles
We'll turn the moon to blood
If only there were time
It's almost over Lorraine
Can you still feel the pain
Do you still want me to love you
It's such a funny day
Whoah oh oh
Well, there's a light in your eyes
That's guiding my way to your doorstep
And your voice called my name
With a sound that I've never known
I was a kid in a comicbook-world looking for answers
When out of the darkness she came
Like a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't care if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
And I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door
Last night
You turned a frightened little boy into a man without shame
Last night
We tore the hands off a clock and it read just the same
Last night
I had a crazy little dream and you turned it all around
Last Night
We took a chance, we shook it up, and now the world's upside down
All the fire in your heart
And the heat of your touch I'll remember
And you're dancing like a flame
Perfection in motion
It was the masterpiece from the start
Only you and I could have rendered
And I'll never be the same
I'm a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't care if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
And I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door
Like a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't matter if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
'Cause I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door
What would you say
If I asked you to stay with me forever
But forever's in too soon
The touch of your hand
And the look in your eyes
Are the only things I know
I know that are true
We only have this life
To forgive and then forget
But the only thing that matters
Is we have no regrets
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
There's nothing I wouldn't give to you
I know that you know it's true
Oh can't you see
You're the last love for me
Time passes fast
And the hours go quickly
But the fire inside our hearts
It never dies
The sound of your voice
And the way that it moves me in a special way
I can't describe
Please take my hand
And we'll walk the endless road
No one has to lead us
'Cause we know which way to go
And if I ever really hurt you
How sorry I would be
There's something I've been trying to tell you
Darling it's time you know
You'll always be a part of me
Please take my hand
And we'll walk the endless road
No one has to lead us
'Cause we know which way to go
I know that you know it's true
Oh can't you see
It's meant to be
I'm driving' through the rain
Just to talk to you again
Please don't run away this time
Until I say what's on my mind
Tonight I need to stay with you
This time I'm not passing throught
Tear down the walls around your heart
And though I know it's who you are
I just can't get to you girl
Oh yeah, I just can't get to you
If you won't let me through girl
Oh no, I just can't get to you
You say you really need me here
So I can't let you disappear
Even though it's getting late
Somehow I seem to hesitate
'Cause I just can't get to you girl
Oh yeah, I just can't get to you
If you won't let me through girl
Oh no, I just can't get to you
You're afraid that you'll get hurt again
Yes, I know that's how it feels
Don't surrender, that's no way to win
Let it go, let me in
'Cause I just can't get to you
Just can't get to you girl
Oh yeah, just can't get to you
If you won't let me through girl
Oh no, I just can't get to you
Just can't get to you girl
Oh yeah, just can't get to you
You won't let me through girl
Well I'm out on the road
And the devil's got my soul
And I'm looking for the Lord
In New York City
Yeah I'm out on the run
Got some heat, got a gun
If they don't find me soon
It'll be a damn pity
So it's
Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
It's so hard to see the truth with the sun in your eyes
Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
Must be in the way that she cries, must be in the way that she cries
Must be in the way that she cries
Oh there's smoke in the air and there's blood everywhere
But I'm hoping that the white man don't recognize me
I'm so sorry what I've done and I say it not in fun
When I tell you that there's no one left inside me
And it's
Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
It's so hard to see the truth with the sun in your eyes
Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
Must be in the way that she cries, must be in the way that she cries
Must be in the way that she cries
Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
It's so hard to see the truth with the sun in your eyes
Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
Must be in the way that she cries, must be in the way that she cries
Must be in the way that she cries
So it's
Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
It's so hard to see the truth with the sun in your eyes
Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
Must be in the way that she cries, must be in the way that she cries
All this pain surrounding me
Hopelessness is all that I see now
Does it have to be this way
Brought up on hypocrisy
The seeds they sow don't last forever
They just fade away
Don't be confused by the lies
Of the fools and deceivers
Hope and believe in the things
That we need to survive
We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith
We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith
Take away my dignity
Take away my hope and my freedom
You got a world full of rage
Don't cover me with apathy
Don't buy and sell what I believe in
Don't lock me in a cage
In a world where no one's alone
Trust should come easily
Just reach out your hand
And I'll give you mine
We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith
We can chage it if we'd just accept the gift of faith
Don't be confused be the lies
Of the fools and deceivers
Hope and believe in the things
That we need to survive
We can make if if we'd only take the gift of faith
We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith
We can make if if we'd only take the gift of faith
I never felt like this with someone,
I never knew I could feel this way at all
Predestination by appointment,
Storybook realities are coming true
I was scared, you looked so helpless,
Lust was dressed in good disguise
I took you on to meet my mother
Just like me, she fell straight in love with you
You took me to your own apartment,
was it me or does the night do things to you
You read from Venus and Adonis, so honey how could I resist I
C'mon baby we've got tonight
No one loses when two tigers fights
I lift you up, never let you down
I'll be the jester and you'll be the crown
We're instinctively impulsive, we're animals
A body like yours should be arrested,
Honey I should be locked up in a cage
We are flesh, we are carnal, we are human
We've got desires we can't contain
Smoke alarm is going off again,
I guess I'm gonna have to cool you down
Say c'mom baby, we've got tonight,
No one loses when two tigers fight
You'll be fire, I'll be the ice,
so come on baby melt me ooh so nice
Instinctively impulsive, we're animals
Some girls may turn my head,
but only you, baby, turn me on
When we touch it's so explosive,
it's seems my life's been leading to this
Say c'mon baby, we've got tonight,
no one loses when to tigers fight
You'll be fire, I'll be the ice,
so come on baby melt me ooh so nice
Listen to my bluebird laugh
She can't tell you why
Deep within her heart, you see
She knows only crying, just crying
There she sits, aloft a perch
Strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
Thinks only of you, just you, oh yeah
So get all those blues
Must be a thousand hues
And be just differently used
You just know
You sit there mesmerized
By the depth of her eyes
That you can't categorize
She got soul, she got soul
She got soul, she got soul
Do you think she loves you?
Do you think at all?
Soon she's going to fly away
Sadness is her own
Give herself a bath of tears
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in the 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you!"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Day after day
I feel myself slowing down
What does it mean?
The air has changed
It's getting harder to breath
Or so it would seem
Sail me away to a distant shore
Where everything's fine
A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
Tell me my friend
Can you imagine a place
Free of boundaries and lies
There's blood on the wind
And it's come all of the way from faraway skies
Take me away to a different world
Where everything's fine
A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
A thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going
We'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years
Sail me away to a distant shore
Where everything's fine
A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
A thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going
We'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years
(Sail me away to a distant shore
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind
When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything
Fly on little wing,
Only the wind sang the words he could hear
Born of the sand washed ashore on a tear
Time wrote the lines on his face like a scroll
Love is a loss to the man with no soul
Run through the darkness he hears
Turn back
There's no survivors
You can't turn back
Dreams keep him turning back the years
Raising his sail cast away on his own
Motherless child on a sea all alone
Morpheus calls but they won't lay him down
Creatures of midnight appear with no sound
Run through the darkness he hears
Turn back
There's no survivors
You can't turn back
Dreams keep him turning back the years
Run through the darkness
Turn back the years
Time
Is the enemy of a young man's dreams
And I'm stranded
In the heartland, or so it seems
I'm hitching a ride for a chance at the good life
I'll have my own place out on fifth avenue
I'm leaving this time gonna walk on that fine line
I'll be the first one who finally breaks through
One road to the promised land
I have to get there any way I can
One road to the promised land
I'm gonna find out just who I am
Freedom
Do you know what I mean
Flat lands
Are all I've ever seen
Stuck in a small town where you live, then you die
Ain't nothing but fool's working nine until five
I'll sleep in the subways 'till I get what I need
I'm not gonna stay here, just lie here and bleed
One road to the promised land
I'm gonna get there any way I can
One road to the promised land
Show the world just who I am
One road to the promised land
I'm gonna get there any way - any way I can
One road to the promised land
I have to find out just who I am
One road to the promised land
I thought by now I'd be a different man
One road to the promised land
It's been forty days and nights
Since I've heard from you
Girl I cannot bring myself to ask you why
It's a fact that you're not here
I ain't accusing you
All I seek is simple answer from the sky
See the circle spinning 'round
Changing colors without a sound
Helter Skelter
Doom's day plan
Was just another tale of a man
Let me down - let me down in you heaven
I can really see everything quite clear
I can almost reach my hand enough to touch you
Girl I have it save and sound
I've got it yeah
It's been forty days and nights
Since I've heard from you
Girl I cannot bring myself to ask you why
It's a fact that you're not here
I ain't accusing you
All I seek is simple answer from the sky
(Ooh I love you love you baby
Waiting for you again
Seems like this never ends
I close my eyes and I see your face
And I see it all fading away
Woke up before you again
You're still asleep I can't pretend
I feel like I'm losing you
And I am trying to make everything right
Only you
Only me
Say the words I want to hear for all eternity
Only you
Holding my heart in your hands
Only me
Still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh
If I could have a second chance
Maybe change the circumstance
Imagine if the dream came true
We could start it all over tonight
Only you
Only me
Say the words I want to hear for all eternity
Only you
Holding my heart in your hands
Only me
Still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh
Only me
Say the words I want to hear for all eternity
Only you
Holding my heart in your hands
Only me
Still trying to understand
Ashes to ashes
That's how it ends
You go from heartache to heartache
As you make amends
Just bigger and bigger
You take two steps back
You want something from nothing
And you're so exact
You think you're a rich man
Now you misbehave
You're not a free man running
Just a comfortable slave
[Chorus:]
So selfish
You got more than you can use
But you still don't see
You're so selfish
And you're running out of room
Deeper and deeper
As you forge ahead
You go higher and higher
But you've been misled
Harder and harder
You grind the stone
Faster faster faster
Till you're skin and bones
Too much ambition
Without relief
You know that ain't heaven
But it's what you teach
[Chorus]
[Instrumental break]
Who's got the answer
Give me the cure
Don't rush to judgement
Until you're sure
I must have aged twenty years in the last seven days
Living on emotion, disbelieve and rage
I found out the hard way life is what you make
Sometimes you gotta learn to give yourself a break
You can go where you wanna go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all
If you just believe
Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancing to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways
Accidents can happen and they always do
It only takes a twist of fate to turn on you
I was in the wrong place at just right time
I thought she was a lover not a friend of mine
You can do who you wanna do
You can screw who you want to screw
In the end it's the fantasy
But not reality
That will set you free
Once it's inside of me
It's like a symphony
On a cloud and I can't come down
It's like a dream then you come around
You can go where you wanna go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all if you just believe
Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancing to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious
Time moves in mysterious
Stop, taking for granted
I am the one who's wrong
You might be surprised
Time standin' still
It seems like we don't belong
You'll realize
Start giving to me all you can
Stop telling me girl just where I stand
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
One I've not heard before
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
You can't say it all in a word
Life turns around
Time not to look away
And face what you see
Truth shows itself
So watch everything you say
When you're talking to me
You find yourself just in time
No don't be afraid of what you'll find on the way
Would you say no if I asked you for your hand
Could you believe in the same words that I don't understand
And would you cry if I told you I must go
I've been waiting such a long, long time
I think I could stand you forever
I've been wanting you a long, long time
I think I could stand you forever
Would you say no if I asked you for this one chance
Am I a fool to believe that this night is circumstance
I wish that for once you could see the look in your own eyes
I've been waiting such a long, long time
I think I could stand you forever
I've been wanting you a long, long time
I think I could stand you forever
I've been waiting such a long, long time
I think I could stand you forever
I've been wanting you a long, long time
I think I could stand you forever
I think I could stand you forever
Think I could stand you, think I could stand you forever, yeah
Think I could stand you forever, yeah - I think I could stand you
Think I could stand you forever, yeah - forever and ever
Think I could stand you forever, yeah
You got the eyes of a vulture
As you gaze from your meaningless throne
And the pain that you've been selling
I'd rather die before I own
I'll call you a doctor
Or find you a priest
'Cause no one can save you
And you won't get no peace
I've felt your displeasure
And girl I used to relate
So don't hand me no anger
I'll be crushed by the weight
That's the high price of hate
That's the high price of hate
Little Girl
Lord what's the cost of my fate
She'll lay you wide open
Like a surgical knife
I've watched it take over
What's left of your miserable life
She'll live on deception
Your pleasures long dead
Your soul is left bleeding
From the lies that you spread
Don't pull on my collar
I won't rise to debate
Don't ask me for comfort
You're a lifetime too late
That's the high price of hate
That's the high price of hate
Lord what's the cost of my fate
There's a storm overhead
Will it ever end baby
It's all inside your head
Is it gonna end
That's the high price of hate
That's the high price of hate
Yeah, I hope I ain't asking too late
That's the high price of hate
If you're dreaming, son don't you rise,
I never get lost, so deep into eyes
I won't give up until you give in,
But I know you must realize
I could be good for you,
you could be good for me too
I could be good for you,
you could be good for me too
Everyone knows, but they don't know why,
How much will a smile, you satisfy
Stars gonna shine, the way that you feel,
Feel the heat - in the street
Find out what your people are sayin'
Feel the heat - in the street
Find out what the people are sayin'
'Bout you! Yeh you
Friends you keep - lie and cheat
Makin' rules for games that they're playin'
When you meet - on the street
You find out all along they're playin'
Me against you
I don't care what they say about me
I've heard that all before
Just make this one exception
Give me your affection
Listen to your heart for what you need
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
Feel the heat - in the street
You're the one that keeps the boys dreamin'
If you feel the need - come to me
Or you may find what's on your mind
May come true
I can tell by the look in your eyes
There's a fear deep inside
In spite of my arrival
The key to your survival
Is hidden in your dreams and desires
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
Promise me tonight
All the love I need for the rest of my life
Promise me tonight
What you're sayin' it never really crossed my mind
I hear playin' and everybody's keepin' time
I'm recallin' that girl I met in London town
She was strange, young and tender and narrowed all my choices down
We ran away into the night hypnotized
You carved your name right next to mine
English Eyes
I was tryin' to read her lips and knew the time was drawing near
I forgot what she said but I remember how she whispered in my ear
I can hear laughter coming from the places we once knew
There were stories from a stranger out of nowhere but they seemed so true
We ran away into the night hypnotized
You carved your name right next to mine
English Eyes, English Eyes, English Eyes
English Eyes
Red sky warning, girl you really put a spell on me
Never told me 'bout the daddy you refused to please
You took the bishop when the king was standing right in front of you
There's nothing in it if I can't have a girl with eyes like you
We ran away into the night hypnotized
You carved your name right next to mine
English Eyes
We ran away into the night hypnotized
You carved your name right next to mine
English Eyes, English Eyes, English Eyes
They keep looking through the window
A cathode glaze across their eyes
Now that I've been betrayed
I must be well behaved
I'll drink corruption with their lies
Why was I hiding out?
What am I running from?
Why are they waiting?
Have I always been the choosen one?
Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me
I wish that lady would defend me
I can't abide by all the laws
I'll buy the magistrate
Can't be a second late
I anxiously await his call
Who made this jigsaw puzzle?
Who'll put the pieces back?
Who'll come and get me
When I have fallen through the cracks?
Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see
Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me
Who made this jigsaw puzzle?
Who'll put the pieces back?
Who'll come and get me
When I have fallen through the cracks?
Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see
Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see
Drag him to the roof
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
There was a young girl
Ridin' on the wind
She had all of the answers
Didn't need to pretend
I remember - she was the only friend
I ever needed
Now I wonder
How to work it all out
My hands are tremblin'
I've got this feelin' now
There's a bit of thunder
Pounding in my heart
A little uncertainty
That's been there from the start
Don't tell me all the looks you gave
Were the ones that I misread
'Cause all I hear now
Is a voice inside my head
Could this be love
That I hear calling
Could this be love
That I hear calling
Got a fast education
Holding you in tears
Someone finally hurt you
After all these years
Got to get my message to you somehow
Now you're lookin' in my eyes for courage
Too late to think this through
Baby
There must be something we can do
There's a bit of thunder
Pounding in my heart
A little uncertainty
That's been there from the start
Don't tell me all the looks you gave
Were the ones that I misread
'Cause all I hear now
Is a voice inside my head
Could this be love
That I hear calling
Could this be love
That I hear calling
There's a bit of thunder
Pounding in my heart
A little uncertainty
That's been there from the start
Don't tell me all the looks you gave
Were the ones that I misread
'Cause all I hear now
Is a voice inside my head
Could this be love
That I hear calling
Could this be love
Last night she ran away
Left a letter by the telephone
She didn't take the time to say goodbye
He knows he has to find her
Find a way to make her come back home
She stretched her wings and learned to fly
Carmen
Carmen, don't you care for me
Carmen
Carmen, don't you care
Carmen, don't you care for me
He calls but there's no answer
Operator, ring it one more time
He thinks of her and shuts his eyes
She wears the ring he gave her
Something magic, and it once was mine
Will she be thinking of him tonight?
Carmen
Carmen, don't you care for me
Carmen
Carmen, don't you care
Carmen, don't you care for me
He has to find her
I really miss that girl
He steals into the night
He'll go mad without her
I'm really mad about her
Carmen
Carmen, don't you care for me
Carmen
Carmen, don't you care
Hey come old Blackeye
He's looking for me again
He's got a hard head
He's always stinkin' of gin
If he thinks he owns me
He better think again
He likes to hurt me
He don't love me at all
He never phones me
He's never there when I call
He's a low down dirty dog
It's time I leave him that's all
Bye bye Blackeye
He's a low down dirty dog
I don't need him at all
(Hey watch what I'm saying man!?)
Hey where you goin' Blackeye ?
When will you win?
You still got your shoulder holster
You still packin' yo' little friend
Well one thing's for certain
You're never gonna wipe that smile off my face again
You said you would wait for me, but something went wrong
The house was empty, your pictures gone
I knew you'd come back one day, our love was so strong
The past behind us, it's here you belong
'Cause I'm deep inside you, you're deep inside me
I always knew that we would always be
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I need to know your love is mine
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I won't let go of you this time
You could've talked to me, what changed your mind
I could have been there by your side
You thought you could walk away, but you know that's a lie
This loneliness is hard to hide
It's so easy to surrender, and temptation always finds a way
You must hold on, you know we must hold on, whoa-oh-oh
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I need to know your love is mine
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I won't let go of you this time
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I need to know your love is mine
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I won't let go of you this time
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I won't let go of you this time
Well it's 2 a.m.
You're just getting in
Soon you'll be creepin' into bed
Later you'll pretend you were out with a friend
But I'm still inside your head
I don't understand
You say I'm your man
When it's clear you're seein' another
You can call me a fool for just loving' you
But girl I'll never find another
If you think he'll love you better
Your every wish is his command
Baby he's your man
Baby he's your man
Well, you spoke your mind
But I still can't find what's wrong with you and me
I got something' to say
And baby come what may
Baby we were never meant to be
So I want you to know
I can't let him go
'Til find a love that's real
I don't like this game
I don't need this pain
I'm just saying what I feel
I know he can love me better
My every wish is his command
Baby he's my man
Now I know I should love you better
Oh, my every every wish is his command
Baby he's your
Baby he's my
Baby he's your man
Hate, don't let her go, 'cos in the midnight eye she wins a blow
Eyes, give every drop, this ain't the way that should've made her stop
I just gotta know, know I'd feel the flame she used to grow
Smile, don't leave me now, 'cos you're the reason she's here anyhow
Words be gentle when you speak into her heart
'Cos if it breaks, she may not come again
I've been waitin' for your lovin', it's been here all the time
Right in front of me
I've been sittin', waitin' for your love, and all the time it's been here
Right in front of me
Love will get your pride, she might kiss as you're like even tide
Song, be in her heart, especially when we're apart
Love, be by my side, 'cos if she leaves there ain't no place to hide
Soul, be with her now, 'cos you're the first one she knew anyhow
Words be gentle when you speak into her heart
'Cos if it breaks, she may not come again
I've been waitin' for your lovin', it's been here all the time
Right in front of me
I've been sittin', waitin' for your love, and all the time it's been here
Right in front of me
Words be gentle when you speak into her heart
'Cos if it breaks, she may not come again
I've been sittin', waitin' for your love, and all the time it's been here
Right in front of me
Draw the line, I'll step across, even further I give in, you got me, yeah
I've been sittin', waitin' for your love, and all the time it's been here
Right in front of me, yeah
Just separated by ten thousand miles, you're not alone, girl you got me, yeah
Guess I needn't tell you that I'm not around, I'm inside, you got me, yeah
I've been waitin' for your love, it's been here all the time
Right in front of me
You stole my heart the moment you came to town
I said hello but you were gone when I turned around
You can't get away, can't get away, even if you try now
I wanna tell you but the words just can't be found
I like the way you move and just the way you are
I can't take anymore, 'cause girl, you're pushing too hard
You can't get away, can't let you go, what's a boy to do now
You got me asking myself how I survived this far
I gotta get away from you, girl
'Cause I've never been afraid of love 'till I met you
Never thought a girl could make me feel the way you do
Never been afraid of love 'till I met you
Ooh, yes you say
I'll give you something that you never ever had
When I start to think about you, it makes me laugh
You took me by surprise, I saw it in your eyes, I never had a chance, girl
I've been waiting so long
Oh 99
Where did we go wrong
Oh 99
I love you
I keep breaking your heart
Oh 99
How can we be apart
Oh 99
I love you
I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know i love you 99
You keep holding my hand
Oh 99
They don't know who i am
Oh 99
I love you
I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know i love you 99
I can't take it no more
Oh 99
Oh we were so sure
Oh 99
I love you
I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
Boy meets girl on the playground of life
Falls in love for the very first time
Late at night he sees her alone
But she's the type that can never be owned
He can't get her off his mind
But she knows he'll get over her in time
And the world goes round and round
She goes straight for the heart
She serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known
Boy sees girl on the poor side of town
A city princess with her very own crown
He's too young to be taking such a chance
'Cause she walks the streets in the name of romance
Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows
He's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round
She goes straight for the heart
She serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known
Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows
He's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round
She goes straight for the heart
She serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
I don't want to know the reason why you don't love me
I don't want to know the reason why you don't care
I don't want to know the reason why you're leavin' me
I'm not the only one that lost my love way down there - way down there
I don't want to hear the reason why you don't need me
I don't want to hear the reason why you don't stay
I don't want to hear the reason why you're seeing him
All I know is that I want you back, but you're
A million miles away and it's killin' me inside
There's a stranger in a carriage and he's takin' her out tonight
The devil's ridin' on a full moon and he sends his love
When I'm a million miles away
I don't want to be the reason why you don't love me
And I don't want to be the reason why you don't care
I don't want to be the reason why you're leavin' me
I'm not the only one that lost my love
A million miles away and it's killin' me inside
There's a stranger in a carriage and he's takin' her out tonight
The devil's ridin' on a full moon and he sends his love
When I'm a million miles away
Hello girl
You're good to see
Love your face shining down on me
How does it feel with the warm winds blowing
Hello girl
You're good to know
Love your smile, I love your glow
How does it feel with the warm winds blowing
Must have touched a right part of me
A sign in your eyes
You came running in from the start
Connected all the right numbers
From the picture you were painting, of me
Listen girl
I can't let go
The time is right
I have to know what's it like
I think I'll go it alone
You should've shown me if you cared
Lies will turn a heart into stone
Few would have known me if they dared
'Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
The house on the cape
The place on the sand
I'd take it all back if it'd just make you understand
Girl how I've tried to forget you
Now it would take more than I could buy
Sure I could lie to myself too
But that won't work seeing that I've tried
'Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
I'd live in a shack
Eating out of a can
I'd take it all back if it'd just make you understand
Now that I'm feeling assured
You'd better watch your every move
Stop, think about every word
It's looking like you're going to lose
'Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
The house on the cape
The place on the sand
I'd take it all back if it'd just make you understand
I remember it was late one night
in the middle of a dream
woke up in a pool of sweat
thought I heard a scream
Ran over to the window sill
stuck my head out for a peek
Dressed in black was a man I didn't recognise
running down my back street
My heart skipped a beat
You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out when he comes around
Don't make a sound
Got the morning paper and the headlines read:
"Danger to the queen"
Buckingham Palace better tighten things up
The son of a bitch is mean
Vendors on the corner just doin' their job
acting like nothing's new
Scotland Yard's still looking for him
but he doesn't leave a single clue
Who's this man who fell out of the sky?
What's he done and where's he live?
How can a man who's a criminal be a hero to the kids?
The old couple swear that the ripper's back
They say it's him all right
The young girl says it's Jesus and he won't be back again tonight
I wonder who's right ?
I got your letter stating I'm the only one
Are you forgetting all the damage that I've done
Are you waiting, contemplating why you changed your mind
Can't push my luck, good ones are getting hard to find
I'm wond'ring now if everything will be the same
I feel so empty knowing I'm the one to blame
And all along I never thought I stood a chance
Those lonely hours, mem'ries of you did enhance
Deep in the night when I need you so
You are the light, I can't let you go
You've been the one from the very start
You've got the power girl, to change a heart
You've got the power girl, to change a heart
The timing's right for all our diff'rences to end
We've come so far from all the places that we've been
My heart is telling me that you're my closest friend
What happened to me
It seems so long ago
The cuts run deep
But the scars still show
I live in the shadows
Where it's been so hard to grow
I'm still a servant in a nobleman's robes
You know my weakness girl
You know my kind
You helped me see when I was blind
It's a crime to live my life without you
Serve out my years in darkness
Inside these walls I'd die without you
And when I close my eyes I'm caught in the balance
Afraid of the hurricane I hide in my domain
I need release from all this pain
Please don't forsake me
In these ruins I call home
I can't wait forever
Don't leave me alone
I have a secret if you wanna learn
I will surrender in return
You know my weakness girl
You know my kind
You never lose a minute
If in it there is love
And "old man time" always pulls you through
It's better not to depend on the morning dew
For the rose you plant in your bed tends to you
Hard and blue
Some folks take money
Some take their life
Some take forever to see
Blind faith, blind love
They're no mystery to me
You must take the time
For that's the fee
It's worth the pain that makes the tears
It's worth the light of a million years
Only your love I can't explain
You are the flower for my rain
You light the sun that shines from my eyes
It's all in return for what you're givin' me
You are the reason for the earth beneath my feet
And you kill the space that I call free
It's worth the pain that makes the tears
It's worth the light of a million years
Only your love I can't explain
You are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain
It's late at night, nothin's feelin' right
Since you've gone away
I think I know why you left this time,
But it's still hard to say
I nearly lost it, when he came around you
Now I'm holdin' it all inside and it's killin' me
We used to meet at an old cafe in Chi-Town
At first you could hear the wind stop,
Then my heart would pound
I remember everything you used to do, girl
Now I'm learning something that you already knew
It's not the same without your love
Every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love
You don't have to be afraid
It's not the same without your love
Every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love
I saw you through the door, with your motor runnin'
I can still hear the sound
I knew then, when you asked him in, you let your guard down
You're talking soft, don't tell me,
I know you're sincere
I just called to tell you that I'm the only one here
It's not the same without your love
Every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love
You don't have to be afraid
It's not the same without your love
Every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love
It's not the same without your love
Oh, every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love
You don't have to be that way
It's not the same without your love
We can stop to find a way
It's not the same without your love
It's not the same without your love
Every night, every day, every night
It's not the same without your love
It's not the same without your love
My faithful companion
I've lost my way once again
A prisoner of darkness
I let you down my friend
A heart left abandoned takes so long to heal its wounds
Your touch not forgotten
The end of the dream
It comes too soon
In this lonely room
Till I leave this world
Always know that
I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh our love doesn't end here
It lives forever on the wings of time
The road that I travel
Don't know which way I should turn
Till I find the answer
Know that the fire within me will always burn
Angel of mercy, please
Why so much pain?
I cry for forgiveness
I'm the destitute man
Who still remains
It's so hard to explain
Till I leave this world
Always know that
I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh our love doesn't end here
It lives forever on the wings of time
Sometimes I feel just like crying
I can't turn my back
All these years I've been trying
A vision of you keeps reappearing to me
You can't blame yourself
Just reach out your hand and believe
We sail in dark waters
Lord give me some peace of mind
Temptation before me
Ahead lies the tower of truth that I must find
To you I will climb
Till I leave this cruel world far behind
Always know that
I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh our love doesn't end here
How can you say you love me
When you don't even love yourself
You live your life like a jagged knife
Just waiting on the shelf
How can you live for tomorrow
When you curse the night and day
The minutes pass through the hour glass
As you let them slip away
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me when I play your game
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me
When I call your name
How can you touch the sorrow
With a leather gloved hand
When you summon the winds of anger
Just as fast as you can
You crucify an orphan
With the rainbow in your eyes
Then you send out invitations
And address them with his cries
I, I don't even know what's right
I can say that you put up some kind of fight
I've been branded
I've been stranded
I'm so thankful for what I've been handed
I wish I could say that you're mine
Such a card game
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me when I play your game
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me
Bad timing for love: you caught me on your birthday
I could feel your heart break into a hundred pieces
We were too torn apart, now it seems so senseless
And if we're clever, we'll put it together, it may be forever
We made it, made it, made it before, I know that we can make it again
We made it, made it, made it before, I know that we can make it again
Down on my luck, you arrived just in time, my angel
Thought you'd given me up, like a rhyme that needs no reason
I want you enough to keep my life untangled
If we're clever, we'll put it together, 'cos it may be forever
I want you enough to keep my life untangled
If we're clever, we'll put it together, 'cos it may be forever
If ever we'll make it, we're gonna make it girl
And I know we can take it, we got to take it, girl
If ever we can make it, we gotta make it
I'm counting on you
Gotta know
The time has come to follow through
Drive straight through the night
Just hold on
We can make it home before daylight
There's a voice inside you
And you know it can't be wrong
So break away from this pain, girl
We've held out much too long
We can make it tonight
If you give me the sign
And I'll be by your side
I've got the feeling it's right
We can make it in time
We can make it tonight
Fear nothing at all
Ya gotta know that nothing is impossible
The things I've seen with these eyes
Precious dreams
That somehow you don't realize
Well there's a thirst inside you
I know I can't be wrong
So let's get out of the storm girl
We've waited much too long
We can make it tonight
If you give me the sign
And I'll be by your side
I've got the feeling it's right
We can make it in time
We can make it tonight
Oh, we can make it tonight
If you give me a sign
And I'll be by your side
I've got the feeling it's right
We can make it in time
We can make it tonight
We can make it tonight
If you give me a sign
And I'll be by your side
I've got the feeling it's right
We're gonna make it right on time
Those days we gave our all
Unaffected
I bravely faced the fall
No reflection
Freak armies of the night
Misdirected
I fought the useless fight
Unprotected
Don't cry for me
Time is the enemy
Soon I'll be free
I surrender
Sweet moon, she marks the year
Unreflected
How sad she has no tears
So neglected
Don't cry for me
Time is the enemy
Soon I'll be free
I know what's on your mind
Let's lay it on the line
All the things were missin'
Look I just came back to town
Drink that green dragon down
It's time for me talk and you to listen
I know my heart, I know it well
Bet your analyst forgot to ask that question
We're at the start and time will tell
Till the end
Your name will touch my lips like prayin'
Till the end
I'll be the keeper of the words your heart is sayin'
Till the end
You and I will learn a language new and unspoken
Till the end
We'll be the ones who hold the key to a lock that's open
Girl not so long ago
A boy that didn't know
That he was hurtin'
Pushed somebody down
They fell and hit the gound
But I never meant for you to be that person
You know my heart, you know me well
It's never been my style to take advantage
We're at the start and time will tell
Till the end
Your name will touch my lips like prayin'
Till the end
I'll be the keeper of the words your heart is sayin'
Till the end
You and I will learn a language new and unspoken
Till the end
We'll be the ones who share a key to a lock that's open
Till the end
Your name will touch my lips like prayin'
Till the end
I'll be the keeper of the words your heart is sayin'
Till the end
You and I will learn a language new and unspoken
Till the end
We'll be the ones who share a key to a lock that's open
Till the end
Your name will touch my lips like prayin'
Till the end
I'll be the keeper of the words your heart is sayin'
Till the end
You and I will learn a language new and unspoken
Till the end
We'll be the ones who share a key to a lock that's open
I went down to the highway
That runs between love and pride
And I tried to get sideways
Across the great divide
But my mind's eye's on the key ring
Crying in misery
'Cause it won't spend one more evening
Staring back to me
It may be by choice
Or a small inner voice
I can't say
When you add up the cost
We all have a cross
How do you write off the loss?
Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back
Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
It's a new kind of fix
For the poor and the rich
You never know what's coming next
At the turning point
The rules are unwritten
And nobody knows the deal
Where have I been driven
Are demons behind the wheel?
Yeah, I know my days are numbered
We're only flesh and bone
And I've been left to wonder
How it went so wrong
Is it all tailor made?
Can the sinner be saved?
I can't say
So don't hang your hat
On the knife im my back
'Cause nobody treats me like that
Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back
Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
It's a new kind of fix
For the poor and the rich
You never know what's coming next
At the turning point
Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back
Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back
Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
It's a new kind of fix
For the poor and the rich
You never know what's coming next
Not by way of an apology
For the things that I have done
Do I set my boat upon the sea
So like thunder I am breaking free
In the landscape of the heart
It's hard to tell what's really taken me
Now I see it all through different eyes
This emotion can't be wrong
Past the mountains under empy skies
And the road goes on and on...
I've been living through this poetry
Tangled words and worn out prose
Love is needing, love is bleeding me
Now I see it all through different eyes
This emotion can't be wrong
Past the mountains under empty skies
And the road goes on...
Now I see it all through different eyes
This emotion can't be wrong
Past the mountains under empty skies
And the road goes on...
Now I see it all through different eyes
Where I'm going, where I've gone
All I know - I'm still surprised
The waiting game is over
No need for pretending
We were meant to be
It's only getting stronger
The love I feel for you
It's no mystery
I've got to find some way to tell you
Though our world seems far apart
It just don't have to be
The time has come to testify
All the feelings I've been holding back
It's time to set them free
I've been watching you from the other side
I've been wanting to hold you through the night
I've got to find my way to the other side
I want to hold you tonight and forever
The moment that I saw you
I knew inside my heart
All my dreams would come true
I know it took some time to realize
A love we can't deny
I've got to see it through
I've been watching you from the other side
I've been wanting to hold you through the night
I've got to find my way to the other side
I want to hold you tonight and forever
I want to be the one who loves you
Now and forever
I want to take my place beside you
I want to be the one to hold you
Now and forever
I will meet you there on the other side
I've been watching you from the other side
I've been wanting to hold you through the night
I've got to find my way to the other side
I want to hold you tonight and forever
From the other side
From the other side
Sometimes it hurts clear to the core
When we lose all we've cared for
The hunger and thirst
For love that endures
Is never ending
What will I do with my life?
Try to share it with somebody new?
And how can I learn to disguise
That I'm lost without you
All I have left is a heart full of mirrors
A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over
Girl it's over
I'll hear it echo deep inside
'Til the other end of time
The other end of time
Left over dreams fade in my mind
And I'm counting on this love to die
'Cause all that I need
Is to give my whole life
A new beginning
But something is holding me down
Like I'm under a mountain of stone
And all I can hear is the sound
Of my own heart breaking
'Cause all I have left is a heart full of mirrors
A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over
Girl it's over
I'll hear it echo deep inside
'Til the other end of time
Until the end of time
'Cause all I have left is a heart of mirrors
A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over
Girl it's over
I'll hear it echo deep inside
All I have left is a heart full of mirrors
A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over
Girl it's over
I'll hear it echo deep inside
'Til the other end of time
'Til the other end of time
Until the end of time
Oh baby
Until the end of time
Reflections in my mind
Thought I can't define
My heart is racing and the night goes on
I can almost hear a laugh
Coming from your photograph
Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings
Well intented lies
Contemplainting alibies
Is it really you or is it me I'm blaming?
A distant memory flashes over me
Even though you're gone I feel you deep inside
Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you girl
There a window in a heart
I've tried to look through from the start
You're never really sure what someone else is thinking
Someone's broken something new
Another altered point of view
Just a certain someone's conscience playing
I had it in my hand
I did not understand
What lives inside the wind that cries her name
Trying to catch a shooting star
What seems so close can't be far
I'm living in a dream that's never ending
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you girl
Dancing with that look that's in your eyes
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you girl
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you
Loving you
Yeah yeah yeah
Loving you
I wonder when I'll stop loving you
Can you tell me where I might find the Hydra
Is he wearing a familiar face
Does he still live below Seventh Avenue
With the princess dipped in lace
Does he know that I'm a soldier of fortune
And not a victim of circumstance
We drew lots for his soft underbelly
Now his fate is sealed with my lance
I can tell by the look in your eye
You've never seen the man with nothing to say
I can tell by the look in your eye
You'd better watch yourself
St. George is on his way
Is it true that he's a mighty warrior
And a viper of the first degree
I've been sentenced here to slay the giant
Geld this fear I cannot see
Can you tell me where I might find the Hydra
Is he wearing a familiar face
Does he still live below Seventh Avenue
In the slums of Satan's grace
I can tell by the look in your eye
You've never seen the man with nothing to say
I can tell by the look in your eye
You'd better watch yourself
The first time I saw her
She was wearing scarves of white
That little spark between us
Took only seconds to ignite
And then it occured to me
But suddenly I was standing there alone
On the Spanish steps of Rome
I kept searching through the allies
Kept searching through the catacombes that night
I closed my eyes and threw a coin in the fountain
She was nowhere insight
I wandered through the holy city
Like a beggar beneath the moon lit dome
Near the Spanish steps of Rome
I heard a voice as I looked through my fingers
And saw the old monsigneur
He gave me his blessing and said to me:
"Don't try and please her"
And then I heard her singing like some diva
Parched upon her throne
On the Spanish steps of Rome
Now I know I should have listened
When he warned me - He warned me not to follow
I noticed that the statues eyes
Were all sunken and hollow
She let hose young wolves do their dirty deeds
While she lay inside her home
You're a soul with no religion
There's ice in your embrace
In your dance of indecision
I see the anger in your face
A little drink to help my vision
A little something for the pain
There's no drug for my condition
There's no sweetness in the taste
Tell me where the ride's gonna lead you
Do I have to pay to be your friend?
There's nothing left to say
When you slipped away
I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away
You're a world of blind ambition
Staring through the looking glass
You will meet your own collision
When your conscience comes to ask
Steal the love from those around you
Help yourself to everything
Take the shelter that surrounds you
It leaves you standing in the rain
Tell me if the money can heal you
Do I have to pray to make it end?
There's nothing left to say
When you slipped away
I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away
I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
She got fingernails like knives
She got twenty-four karat eyes
She wants everything she sees
She'll drop you to your knees
She ain't gonna change her wicked ways
I'll love her till my dying day
She got poison heart
Painted smile
She always has a girlfriend
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
And the devil knows me
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
And the devil knows me
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Bad little girl with a vermin tongue
Ooh, she loves to have her fun
The daughter of Mephistopheles
She loves to aim and she aims to please
She'll take any young god and burn him down
He'll see who's the queen and who's the clown
She got lips that bleed
She's what I need
I want her for my girlfriend
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
And the devil knows me
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
And the devil knows me
Whoa, whoa, whoa
She wants everything she sees
She'll drop you to your knees
She ain't gonna change her wicked ways
I'll love her till my dying day
She got poison heart
Painted smile
She always brings a girlfriend
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
And the devil knows me
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
She knows the devil
And the devil knows me
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
She knows the devil
Whoa, whoa, whoa
All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna
All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah
Now she's gone and I have to stay
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna
All I wanna tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah
Now she's gone and I have to stay
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah
Now she's gone and I have to stay
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Side by side
I'll be yours forever
Yes I will
Rain or shine
Any kind of weather
Any kind
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
Let's take what's getting old and make it new
Eye to eye
It's a blinding confrontation
I said you and I
are a deadly combination
So don't start mixing truth with jealousy
The road we're on is clear as far as I can see
Pamela
Don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time
Pamela
There is no second chance
For the one who leaves it all behind
Black and white
Always go together
And on day and night
You're the precious jewel I treasure
Wanting every part of you is not a crime
Could it be that you're the one who's wrong this time
Pamela
Don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time
Pamela
There is no second second chance
For the one who leaves it all behind
Leave all
Oh Pamela
Thousands of miles away but always in my heart
Pamela
So don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time
Pamela
There is no second chance
For the one who leaves it all behind
Pamela
Don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time
Pamela
There is no second chance
For the one who leaves it all
Leave all beind
I still love you little girl
I still love you
And you know it little Pamela
I still love you yes I do
And you know it little Pamela
Come on
Paint me a picture of two lovers,
show me the lovers torn apart
You made me fall in love with you,
the dance of lovers takes two
Somehow the music stopped,
and so did our love
I tried to put the pieces together,
and I got a grip on my life
They say there's one born every minute
who holds on for a lifetime
What good is a lifetime if I can't be with you
I just wanna hold you,
just wanna touch you,
just let me love you
When I see your face,
my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love
I do admit I really miss you,
there are some things time cannot change
And I would be a liar babe,
if I told you I didn't care
'Cause it makes a difference, babe, when you're not there
I just wanna hold you,
just wanna touch you,
just let me love you
When I see your face,
my heart, my heart goes crazy baby
It's starts calling your name
I just wanna hold you,
just wanna touch you,
I just wanna hold you
When I see your face,
my heart cries out for you
We keep hurting each other
When words can't be easily said
No understanding or reason
Just fear and confusion instead
We need hope for the future
And the young need a chance to survive
No one knows the pain that's felt by the innocent
Wo are Fighting to stay alive
Can no one see the tears in their eyes
Only the children
Only the children cry
Only the children
Why do those who have plenty
Ignore those with nothing at all
Why must the ones just beginning
Stand with their backs to the wall
They keep asking for answers
And we keep on telling them lies
They only want to understand what they feel inside
The hunger that tears them apart
It's the one thing they've known
From the start
Only the children
Only the children cry
Only the children
Only the children cry
Only the children
Only the children cry
Seems the world needs a change in its attitude
It doesn't seem like there's much that a man can do
They try to sell the earth on a wild crusade
Then complain about not bein' paid
How can some people have the nerve
Hell hasn't froze but it's on the verge
It's gone way past the point of greed
How many lifetimes will we need
'Cause it's never enough
They keep on takin' till they take too much
'Cause it's never enough
It won't be long until they run out of luck
We've been bought and sold for a thousand years
And all I got to show is a six pack full of tears
And all the while the fat cats they watch from the hill
Nothin's changed, it never has an' never will
You better strap on your sharpest spurs
For the ride of your life
'Cause it's gonna hurt
You can't say you didn't ask for this
It's too late to find somebody's ass to kick
'Cause it's never enough
They keep on takin' till they take too much
'Cause it's never enough
It won't be long until they run out of luck
Who's got the money and who gets the rent
By the time it's all over
You ain't got a cent
Hey, hey
How can some people have the nerve
Hell hasn't froze but it's on the verge
It's gone way past the point of greed
How many lifetimes will we need
'Cause it's never enough
They keep on takin' till they take too much
'Cause it's never enough
I can't forget you my little Mushanga
I keep a place in my heart for you
The days of waiting they keep getting longer
And not a thing I can do
I was a poet, a magazine writer
Sent to report on political views
It was by chance through a lens that I met you
A Capetown girl with no shoes
You were runnin' down the road
I was going your way
I stopped and turned around to lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering
I didn't understand, then
You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart
Like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start
And all my tears belong to you
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh
I sat and watched as she danced by the fires
Through ancient songs did the tale unfold
They sang of diamonds that came from their mountains
The loss of lives mining white man's gold
I had to leave and go back to Manhattan
Where all my stories are bought and sold
I know the city would surely be saddened
If what I knew could be told
You were runnin' down the road
I was going your way
I stopped and turned around to lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering
I didn't understand, then
You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart
Like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start
And all my tears belong to you
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh
It's been so long since I last heard your laughter
So many letters and still no news
I hope you find all the things that you're after
You know my heart is with you
You were runnin' down the road
I was going your way
I stopped and turned around to lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering
I didn't understand, then
You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart
Like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke in from the start
And all my tears belong to you
There's a rumour of a midnight man
So silent in disguise
And every time he looks your way
You can see it in his eyes
Like a window to the storm
He just invades your paradise
Don't you buy what he is selling
It's just lies
When he says:
"These hearts are willing"
The story goes:
That these dreams are free
Only takes a moment
But you must acclimatize
Don't you buy what he is selling
it's just lies
Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast
Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast
Seen a star-crossed angel with the death-card and a shield
We're walking through mindfields
You see an angel as she takes you by the hand
We're walking through mindfields
Her lips are moving like she's praying
We're walking through mindfields
She speaks so softly and you want to understand
What she's saying
There's a stairway leading to the sun
I walk it in my sleep
And a ship of fools above the sky
Who've gotten into deep
With a doorway into nowhere
And the path is way too steep
Don't loose your angry soul
It's yours to keep
Where it ends
It's the beginning
And it stays
Right to the end
The reason is unclear my friend
It almost makes me weep
So don't loose your angry soul
It's yours to keep
Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast
Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast
Seen a star-crossed angel with the death-card and a shield
Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast
Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast
Watching
Driving through the night
I'm all alone
Empty
Endless road
A thousand miles to go
Midnight
Five million thoughts
Passing in a row
Will you
Still be waiting there?
God only knows
I can still see your face in my mind
With every turn I take
And the wind through my heart feels so cold
As it calls out your name
Melanie
Nothing but the touch of your hand can rescue me
Melanie
Reach inside this emptiness and you will set me free
Morning
Sun's in my eyes
I'm tied to your soul
One chance
One solitary life
How could I let you go?
Got a phonecall or was it a dream
A voice spoke to me
I could swear it was you that I heard
Crying desperately
I can still see your face in my mind
With every turn I take
And the wind through my heart feels so cold
Don't look now
You better watch that sword that's hanging over you
It's a long hard road and they will spit you out
When they get through with you
Don't hang your head
So the wise man said
Or boy you'll soon be dead
You better run, run Manuela-uela run
They're gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun
You better run, run Manuela-uela run, Manuela run
There's no more time for living out your life
Yur sky is falling down
Don't close your eyes or make a wish on three
'Cause they will still be 'round
Don't hang your head
So the wise man said
Or boy you'll soon be dead
You better run, run Manuela-uela run
They're gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun
You better run, run Manuela-uela run, Manuela run
Don't hang your head
So the wise man said
Or boy you'll soon be dead
You better run, run Manuela-uela run, you better run, run Manuela-uela run
You better run, run Manuela-uela run
(gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun)
You better run, run Manuela-uela run, you better run, run Manuela run
You better run, run Manuela run
(gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun)
Why don't we make believe we're in love again
Who says the crimson moon doesn't shine
Where do people go when they're looking for that one of a kind
Why don't we make believe that we're sorry
Why must we hold it all inside
Where do lovers go when they're running and there's no place to hide
Always remember - the day we met in the pouring rain
You were content and - we went our seperate ways
No matter which way thw wind blows now, I'll hang on to it anyhow
Don't ever say it could never be the same
Always with me - holding hans on a summer day
You were content and - you took it all away
I didn't come here to change your mind,
Lead you on and waste your time
All alone in the evening, getting day
There's something I must say
Something I must do
I planned it all this way
Designed it just for you
Do you wanna be with me
Be with me at all?
Do you have to be so cool
Your gentle touch manoeuvered me
But all the time I always knew
[Chorus:]
I'm really mad about you
There's nothing bad about our love
I'm giving you the only heart I have
But I'm afraid tonight it won't be enough
Can we go on this way?
There's nothing left to prove
It's not another game
Or another simple move
Do you believe in me
Believe in me at all?
Are you telling me the truth?
Or is it just imagination or the perfect dream
That I'm here with you
[Chorus]
[Instrumental break]
Do you wanna be with me
Be with me at all?
Do you have to be so cool
Your gentle touch manoeuvered me
But all the time I always knew
I'm really mad about you
There's nothing bad about our love
I'm giving you the only heart I have
But I'm afraid tonight it won't be enough
I'm really mad about you
There's nothing bad about our love
I never had a broken heart before
But I know you'll never tear
It's just the soul that matters, and I don't know why
You know she's gonna make you cry, you know she's gonna make you cry
She'll have you walk beneath the ladder you were meant to climb
You know she's gonna make you try, you know she's gonna make you try
Ooh, you know we're lovers in the night
Ooh, you know we're lovers in the night
It's just the soul that matters, and keeps her satisfied
You know she's gonna make you cry, you know she's gonna make you cry
She'll have you wishin' that you had her come your way to shine
You know she's gonna make you try, ooh, you know she's gonna make you high
It's just the soul that matters, and keeps her satisfied
You know she's gonna make you cry, you know she's gonna make you cry
She'll have you wishin' that you had her come your way to shine
You know she's
There is too much hatred, there is too much starvation, too much inhumanity
Some people get the kicks out of throwing bricks at me
No real reason, just jealousy
Angry words and bad attitudes is gonna get you nowhere
Watching you watching me, it's alright, cause love will make it right
Love has the power,
it's strong as a tower you can lean on
Love is a fire,
a burning desire, it's so warm
Some believe in the almighty dollar,
some don't believe in nothing at all
But there's a power that's within you,
it will never never ever let you down
I believe we have the key to liberty and unity, are you listening
One hundred million voices singing
(can you hear the voices singing)
No weak, no strong, no right, no wrong
Imagine (you gotta keep imagining)
Impossible the skeptics say,
Wait and see there's gonna come a day
Love has the power,
It's strong as a tower you can lean on
Love has the power,
It's strong as a tower you can lean on
There's no difference between black or white, the light of life
I can hear the children laughing
Men at war, stop your worries, give peace a chance, there's a new day dawning
Come together, come together, come together
Baby, I'm a liar when I tell you that I just don't care
Babe, I've got to have you but you're never ever, ever there
Hey, the game is over, give it up right now
You're teasin' me, baby, how do you expect me to be without you
You let your hair down low
You didn't want to know about lovin' me, babe
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
But you just can't tell anymore
Baby, you're a teaser but you just don't dare
Baby, keep your secrets, this whole thing just ain't fair
Tonight is almost over, tomorrow you'll be gone away
So please baby, won't you stay
You let your hair down low
You didn't want to know about lovin' me, babe
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
But you just can't tell anymore
You let your hair down low
You didn't want to know about lovin' me, babe
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
