Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Looking for the fight of her life
In the real time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She has danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
On the ice blue line of insanity
Is a place most never see
It's a hard won place of mystery
Touch it but can't hold it
You work all your life
For that moment in time
It can come or pass you by
It's a push shove world
But there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
There's a cold kinetic heat
Struggling stretching for the peak
Never stopping with her head against the wind
She's a maniac maniac at your love
And she's a maniac maniac at your love
And she's dancing like she's never danced before's
Dancing like she's never danced before

Dressed to kill
You took me without warning
I rehearsed the part a thousand times
but I never knew how good it could feel
[Chorus]
First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across
First Time, a stab in the dark
Then the second time, we took it to heart
And on the third time, we got the love across
Laughing girl!
My heart it beats like thunder
I am shaken up with a love so strong
Right here, I know,
is where we belong
[Chorus]
Wrap your arms around me darling
Let me feel what I never believed
Could happen to me

Well, it's a quarter to twelve and there is no time
I gotta move fast to get to the door to the jungle
Well the trees are screaming and the sky explodes
The branches are ripping at my clothes in the jungle
[Chorus]
You can't run, you can't hide Screaming for Godzilla Forty natives by my side Screaming for Godzilla
Will this nightmare ever end?
This is real, it's not pretend
You can't run and you can't hide
Well, the buildings are falling and the city is hot Mothra and 'Zilla are squaring it off in the struggle Ripping the bridge from under the train
Crushing the cars and smashing the planes in the struggle
[Chorus]
You can't run and you can't hide Screaming for Godzilla Forty natives by my side Screaming for Godzilla
Was this dream always the same?
What did I do? I'm not to blame
You can't run and you can't hide
[Break]
[Chorus]
You can't run and you can't hide Screaming for Godzilla Forty natives by my side Screaming for Godzilla
With each blow Godzilla screams,
?throw the monster to his knees?

Here we are at the end of trying
Looking out at the rest of our lives
We took the road to the end of romance
to the place broken hearts go to die
[Chorus]
So we Talk and Talk and Talk about it
You don't ever hear me
So we Talk and Talk and Talk about it
It never came true for me
Cruz:
The fire's gone, and my heart grows heavy
No more words no more reasons for why
Not a tear is there left for crying
Let these arms hold us close one last time
[Chorus]
I can feel all the desperation
As it all slips away
So far away
This is more than a separation
Is it wrong, is it right?
We've opened up the door
Cruz: But I'm afraid to fly
Michael: So am I
[Chorus]
Who do you blame when love has died?

As you stand at the edge of existence
and the world has forgotten your name
After life after life you remember
the secret
He's as fast as a speeding bullet
Change the water into wine
And the last time he came
They cursed his name
With a kryptonite cross
they cut him down
[Chorus]
Superman
Are we ever going to see you again
If we do will you teach us how to fly above the sky?
Some say at the end of the tunnel
There's a light that will show us the way
It's a light that belongs to the people of every nation, color or creed
I can't speak for all of the sinners
I don't know any saints I could ask
It's been 2000 years since we've seen you
We need you
Please come back
[Chorus]
All of the pain in your life
How can we ever repay?
And the answer, you said
is in the life that you led, Superman

I can remember it well
Childhood sweethearts
The neighborhood had all agreed
That we would succeed
With infinite passion
We were so innocent then
Everyone's favorites
Never a moment apart
Waiting for the love
To grow between us
Then one day a cold wind blew
The love got so much older
I didn't see the problem in time
And suddenly it was over
It's Over
It's Over
It's Over
Marriage came quick down the line
The families applauded
Three kids and ten years today
Trying to live the way
They all imagined
Now we're like everyone else
Stripped of the magic
The distance that love could not reach
Higher than the night
As sure as daytime
People seem to fall in love
They're sorry when they're sober
I never dreamed it would end like this

Just a still town girl on a Saturday night, lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all, they all say she's crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart, changing woman into life
She has danced into the danger zone, when a dancer becomes a dance
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
On the ice-build iron sanity is a place most never see
It's a hard warm place of mystery, touch it, but can't hold it
You work all your life for that moment in time, it could come or pass you by
It's a push of the world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
There's a cold connective heat, struggling, stretching for defeat
Never stopping with her head against the wind
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know

Just a cow, just a cow, just a cowboy from the good
just a cowboy from the good side
Drinking whiskey and talking loud
Rough neck riders they were shooting up the town
A tall dark stranger hemade a stand
Grabbed his gun and took the law into his hand
Eyes on fire he rose slowly from his chair
Walked outsid adn weighed the danger in the air
Seven bullets had the names of seven men
When the smoke cleared he's the only one to stand
[Chorus]
Just a cowboy from the good side
On a page that they left out of history
Just a coyboy from good side
And noone knew his name
He was the hero then it all went black
Out of nowhere someone shot him in the back
But on windy nights when the cactus blooms
You'll see his silhouette against the moon
[Chorus]
Just a cowboy from the good side
On a page that they left out of history
Just a cowboy from good side
But noone knew his name
[break]
[Chorus]
Just a cowboy from the good side
Pn a page that they left out of history
Just a cowboy from good side
But noone knew his name
He was a cowboy of yesterday
torn from the tales of an age
Just a cow, just a cow just a cowboy from the good
Just a cowboy from the good side
Just a cow, just a cow just a cowboy from the good
Just a cowboy from the good side
Just a cow, just a cow just a cowboy from the good
Just a cowboy from the good side
Just a cow, just a cow just a cowboy from the good
