I went to a concert, to see Nina, Simone,
The concert was over, there was still a band playing, the rap up,
The "booguh" played with his hands, I close my eyes, and look at him,
Victor should have been a jazz musician,
I said to myself, Victor should have been a jazz musician,
I looked at his face, and I saw Victor, looked at his smile, and I saw Victor,
I looked at his hair, and thought,
Victor should have been a jazz musician,
Victor should have been a jazz musician,
And the people dancing on the floor, dancing on the floor, were so high,
You should have seen Victor smile, you should have seen Victor smile,
As they danced all the while all around on the floor, and he laughed,
Victor should have been a jazz musician,
Oh, Victor should have been a jazz musician,
He was playing so nice, the jazz musician,
Ah, ah,
He's living in a fast beat, in a city that's hot,
Telling all the Latinos and Puerto Ricans, Victor seems happy, but he doesn't even know himself, he's gotta look inside to know his first love,
Victor was a Jazz musician, he was playing so nice, Victor was a Jazz musician, (?) Victor was a Jazz musician,
Victor loves his music, he loves his music, somewhere, he plays his music, somewhere,
Victor is a jazz musician,
I'm not hungry, (?) throw away the key (?)
It's outrageous, nobody cares,
White collar crime, you had the time,
Blue collar crime, you'll do time every time,
Stealing from the company, taking all the profits,
Sharing with your family, drinking all the benefits,
(?), Shocking, it's all so mocking,
White collar crime, you don't have the time,
Blue collar crime, you'll do time every time,
You can get away with it, will they get away with it?
Do they get away with it? Yes, they get away with it.
Burn money today, free money tomorrow,
(?) goes my mind, causes so much sorrow,
(?), It's all the same, It's a money power game
White collar crime, you do the time,
Blue collar crime, you do time every time
White collar crime, you don't have the time,
Blue collar crime, you do time every time
All the same, money power game,
It's all the same, money power game,
It's all the same, It's a money power game,
All the same, it's a money, a money, power, the power game,
Hold me close
And hold me fast
This magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me
Heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
When you press me
To your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Everyday words
Turn into love songs
Give your heart
And soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Everyday words
Turn into love songs
Give your heart
And soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
La vie en rose
Every night, to take a walk on high to see,
The shadows of the moonlight, when this guy,
Began to follow me, and now you see.
Thats the trouble.
Then he turned my head, to my surprise,
He stared so seriously, in my eyes and said,
"why, I'd like for you to come on home woth me."
Thats the trouble,
Every man I see, thats the trouble.
Taking every little thing so heavily,
Thats the trouble if you wanna' let you be,
Thats the trouble if you really wanna' be free.
When I did not realise, he was the,
Serious type of guy, and I ran his [? ],
And said "will you marry me? "
Thats the trouble,
Every man I see, thats the trouble.
Taking every little thing so heavily,
Thats the trouble if you wanna' let you be,
Don't need no ring, no wedding band
We don't need no paper plan
Just take my hand, for you're my man
All we we need to understand
The rules of love are way beyond ordinary man
We've got marriage of the heart
Nothing's gonna keep us apart

I am sure that he knows that love is, love is the tie that binds
Clear enough so take my hand, our love is here to stay
Love's insecure, yet we are sure, we don't need the paper play
No book of rule should ever use emotion for a tool
Marriage of the heart, marriage of the heart
No written page could tear us apart
Oh, I know that old rules are not the tools
For a modern world
Sign love on the line, sign love on the line
When you found a way, love will stay
From then until forever more
Just take the hand of your man
That's all you need to understand
The rules of love, are way beyond ordinary man
Marriage of the heart
Nothing's gonna keep us apart
I know that I'll go wherever he needs me because
I'm sure that he knows that love is, love is the tie that binds

I've got a leg over there, I've got my ass somewhere upside down
But I'm back, I'm here to tell you, I'm back, better than before
Can't keep a good thing down

I'm gonna punch on you, I'm gonna choke on you
I'm gonna rip you, drag you to your knees
Your very papa will regret you

Oh I, oh I, oh I, Oh I've been kicked around
And I've been upside down, and kicked around
Yeah, here I am, I'm back, I'm all together

When I'm feelin' lonely,
Someone telephone me,
It's gettin' hard to pass my time.
Take me out'a dieing,
Watch me while I'm flyin',
Baby, it's a waste of time.
I need a man, perhaps a man like you,
I need a man, to make my dreams come true.
Say that you will find him,
Creeping up behind him,
Moving round' the town all day.
Well, I'm underestimated,
Highly underated,
Can there be another way?
I need a man, perhaps a man like you,
I need a man, and I need a man.
And then I won't be feelin' lonely,
Knowing I'm the only one.
He'll understand,
Oh, what I'm feelin' deep inside me,
Knowing that at last he's gone.
Oh well,
Gettin' tired of lookin',
Wastin' all my cookin,
Ending in a dreadful row.
Can somebody tell me,
Say to me, or sell me,
Why I'm feelin' lonely, oh.
I need a man, perhaps a man like you,
I need a man to make my dreams,
And I need a man.
And at night I won't be lonely,
Knowing I'm the only one.
He'll understand,
Oh, what I'm feelin' deep inside me,
Knowing that at last he's gone.
It's maybe that I'm dreaming,
Can't say they I've seen him,
Somehow, I just got to find.
Someone outstanding,
Goes without [?],
[?]
I need a man like you, to make my dreams come true,
Perhaps that man is you!

Nothing comes during a sleep above a dream,
You better wake up and face reality,
You never get ahead just laying around in bed,
What you can see you really can achieve.
Dream means a sleepless fulfillment though I wonder why,
You wake up out of the darkness and let life begin,
Oh dream means a sleepless fulfillment oh I wonder when,
Wake up out of the darkness and let life begin.
Some people are living only on hopes and dreams,
But you've got to wake up to the plans and scenes,
The journey of life is only one step ahead,
But you never get there tossing and turning in bed,
You're facing the world with no plans for tomorrow,
And now you're wondering what's waiting around the bend.
Dream means a sleepless fulfillment unless you try,
Sleepers, they hold on t dreams while the world passes by,
Dream means a sleepless fulfillment (though) unless you try,
Sleepers, they hold on to dreams while the world passes by.
Dream means a sleepless fulfillment though I wonder why,
Sleepers hold on to dreams while the world passes by, one more time,
Dreams a sleepless fulfillment though unless you try,

When I finally got my wish to work in New York city,
It isn't everything that I hoped it would be,
?, lonely eye, gazing at the city tops,
Wondering if there isn't someone in there just for me,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
My ambition and wish ?
But I'm missin the tradition,
Everybody in a hurry,
No ones got the time and no ones got the time of day.
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
One city is'nt pretty if you see it on your own,
It's a fabulous place ?
There's no one I know to cherish, no one I can hug, and no one around ? day.
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

Warm Leatherette,
See the breaking glass,
Beneath the underpass.
Warm Leatherette,
Feel the crushing steel,
Feel the steering wheel.
Warm Leatherette melts,
On your burning flesh,
You can see your reflection,
On the luminescent dash.
Warm Leatherette,
A tear of petrol,
Is in your eye,
The hand brake,
Penetrates your thigh.
A tear of petrol,
Is in your eye,
Quick let's make love,
Before we die.
On Warm Leatherette,
Sorry, jealousy, sorry, baby so sorry,
I was so full of jealousy, so full of jealousy,
Sorry, jealousy, sorry, baby so sorry,
I was no good at jealousy, no good at jealousy.
He's here, oh honey for just a day,
I'll find away to get away,
No matter what you say, hey hey.
He's here, oh honey for just aday,
He's coming from so far away,
For just a day, hey hey.
I don't want to deceive you,
But tell me how can I be true,
When all the jealosy,
Keeps me from telling it all to you.
Sorry, jealousy, sorry, baby so sorry,
I was so full of jealousy, so full of jealousy,
He's here, oh honey for just once a year,
That aint' so much for you to share,
That aint' so much to share.
He's here, oh honey for just once a year,
You got my lovin' right here,
Prepare now there, now there.
Nothing is never the same when your sorry,
I'm really sorry of my jealousy,
Keeps you from knowing another side of me,
He loves me too and hes not jealous of you.
Sorry, jealousy, sorry, baby so sorry,
I was so full of jealousy, so full of jealousy.
Baby, sorry, jealousy, sorry, jealousy,
So full of jealousy...
Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines, no one is there
Don't you love farce? My fault I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear and where are the clowns?
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here
Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Well [Incomprehensible]
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
It's all right if you love me
It's all right if you don't
'Cause, I'm not afraid of you running away honey
I get the feeling you won't
There's no sense in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you, is feeling like I do
We've said all there is the say
Breakdown, honey go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, honey take me tonight
Breakdown, I'm standin' here can't you see?
Breakdown, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right
It's all right if you love me
And it's all right if you don't
'Cause, I'm not afraid of you running away honey
I get the feeling you won't
It's okay, if you must go
'Cause, I'll understand if you don't
You say goodbye right now, I'll still survive somehow
Why should we let this drag on?
Breakdown, honey go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, honey take me to the night
Breakdown, I'm standin' here can't you see
Breakdown, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, baby
Breakdown, honey go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, honey take me to the night
Breakdown, I'm standin' here can't you see
Breakdown, it's all right, it's all right
Breakdown, honey go ahead and give it to me

I've been keeping my life just a rolling stone
When I needed your love, baby, your'e always gone
In my life I know that something is missing
Grains of sand is really all you've been giving
I need more loving baby, I need more kissing
Now I won't grow what you got
They say a rolling stone it never gathers no moss
One day you will slow down and find that love is lost
In my life I know that something is missing
Grains of sand is really all you've been giving
I need more loving baby, I need more kissing
Now I won't grow what you got
Now I won't grow what you got
And a feeling what you're flower would grow
Love is just the same
All it needs is tender love and care
Behind the rock of those?
Now I won't grow what you got
Now I won't grow what you got
In my life I know that something is missing
Baby, grains of sand is really all you've been giving
I need more loving baby, I need more kissing
Now I won't grow what you got
Now I won't grow what you got

Tied to the tracks and the trains just coming,
Strapped to the wing with the engine running,
You say that this wasnt in your plan,
Dont mess around with the demolition man,
Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking,
This situation was not of your picking,
You say that this wasnt in your plan,
Dont mess around with the demolition man,
Im a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom,
I kill conversation as I walk into the room,
Im a three line whip,
Im the sort of thing they ban,
Im a walking disaster,
Im a demolition man,
Im a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom,
I kill conversation as I walk into the room,
Im a three line whip,
Im the sort of thing they ban,
Im a walking disaster,
Im a demolition man,
You come to me like a moth to the flame,
Its love you need but I dont play that game,
You kept on coming you should have ran,
Im nobodys friend,
Im a demolition man,
Im a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom,
I kill conversation as I walk into the room,
Im a three line whip,
Im the sort of thing they ban,
Im a walking disaster,
Im a demolition man,
Strange, I've seen that face before,
Seen him hanging 'round my door,
Like a hawk stealing for the pray,
Like the night waiting for the day,
Strange, he shadows me back home,
Footsteps echo on the stones,
Rainy nights, an hustling boulevard,
Parisian music, drifting from the bars,
Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort,
Tu te prends pour qui, toi aussi tu detestes la vie,
Dance in bars and restaurants,
Home with anyone who wants,
Strange he's standing there alone,
Staring eyes chill me to the bone.
Dans sa chambre, Joel et sa valise,
un regard sur ses fringues,
Sur les murs, des photos,
Sans regret, sans m¨¦lo,
La porte est claqu¨¦e, Joel est barr¨¦.
Color and warmth came into your world
It makes me crazy
When you don't get what you want
You scream and you shout
You're still a baby
Don't give me a line
Keep the lid on the bottle this time
I'm still a lady
I won't do it tonight
I won't do it tonight
No way baby
I won't give in and I won't feel guilty
(I won't give in and I won't feel guilty)
Rant and rave to manipulate me
(Rant and rave to manipulate me)
From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied
(From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied)
From the nipple to the bottle now the cow must die
(From the nipple to the bottle now the cow must die)
Power and wealth surrendering myself
It ain't easy
Embarrassing my store by opening up my door
When it's breezy
You showed me your force
Exaggerated stamina and energy
No place for that
No place for that
It's not that easy
I won't give in and I won't feel guilty
(I won't give in and I won't feel guilty)
Rant and rave to manipulate me
(Rant and rave to manipulate me)
From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied
(From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied)

Driving down those city streets
Waiting to get down
Won't you take your big machine
Somewhere in this town
Now in the parking lot garage
I found the proper place
Just follow all the written rules
You'll fit into the space
Pull up to my bumper baby
In your long black limousine
Pull up to my bumper baby
And drive it in between
Pull up, to it,
Don't drive, through it
Back it, up twice
Now that fits nice
Operate around the clock,
Slow it if you come in?
I've got lots of space for everyone
One for you my friend?
My lines are short I'll fix you up
So won't you please come on,
Shiny sleek machine you wheeled
I've got to blow your horn.
Pull up to my bumper baby
In your long black limosine,
Pull up to my bumper baby
And drive it in between.
Pull up to it, don't drive through it,
Back it, up twice, now that fits nice,
Grease it, spray it
Let me lubricate it
Liar, liar, liar, Hollywood liar,
Who are you, to crash my party, with your mediocre blues,
Your powder has no power over me,
Don't talk to my friends, the way you talk to the girls from the valley,
You're just another liar to me,
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,
I can see right through your act, the way you lie to yourself,
About deals you know don't even exist,
Dropping all those names the way you think the game should be played,
You're just another liar to me,
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,

Darling I, I was a fool, Oh what a fool, I thought you were cool,
Now I'm a victim of things that you do,
I just wanted someone to love, so I became a victim of love.
Lonely nights, spent all alone by a lonesome telephone,
You never called, you'd never come,
I just wanted someone to love, so I became a victim for love.
Darling I, I was a fool and so you used me just like a clown,
Oh I just wanted someone to love, so I became a victim for love.
Mon cherie, j''etais une folle, completement conne, tu n'etais pas con.
je veux te baiser, tu le mal que tu m'as fait,
Oh I just wanted someone to love, so I became a victim for love.
Why did you let go? Why did I lose,
When did love slip away, I though we were always going to stay,
Oh baby, where were you when I needed you,
Oh I just wanted someone to love, so I became a victim of love.
We were dancin barefoot on the moonlit sand,
We were makin music we don't need a band,
I can't believe we only met tonight!
Cos we won't let each other out of site.
Maybe I should feel a twinge of shame,
Were almost lovers I don't know your name.
A voice inside shouts like a traffic cop, stop!
I'm gonna love you after all,
On a summers night, who cares about tomorrow, baby,
All on a summers night, and everything will turn out right,
The nights so young we danced all through the night,
Your even better in the morning light,
It maybe love or maybe just the wine,
?, turn your head around,
Or is it you that makes my? found?
A voice inside shouts like a traffic cop, stop!
I'm gonna love you any way,
On a summers day, who cares about tomorrow, baby,
All on a summers day, and everything will turn out right,
You, and me, all alone on here on the beach tonight,
With the moon and the stars, and the sand, and the waves.
Oh! I know this night will never end,
I love you darling, always.
Were barely seen out in the burning heat,
The evening tide is washed up on our feet,
Were all alone on the beach again,
The faitless? washed away the sand,
I feel like celebrating finding you,
Were often running the whole night through.
A voice inside shouts like a traffic cop, stop!
You say you loved me after all, on a summers night,
The greatest things can happen, baby, all on a summers night,
And everything had turned out right, all on a summers day.
Who cares about tomorrow, baby,
All on a summers day, I'm gonna love you anyway,
I knew I shouldn't have left the apartment
I knew I should've stayed in watching TV
If I'd looked at the moon and looked at my stars
I wouldn't be in this mess I'm in right now
I should've known when my car would not get started
It should've clicked when indecision read its question mark
If I'd ran back for the phone but instead I let it ring
I wouldn't be in this mess I'm in right now
Everybody hold still
Nobody gets hurt
I could've left all my cash and talent a credit card
I should've said, "Don't wear no jewelery you're looking fine"
If I'd ran back for the phone but instead I let it ring
I wouldn't be in this miss I'm in right now
Everybody hold still
Nobody gets hurt
Please don't take all of my money mister
Don't take my money all money, money
Everybody hold still
You can't save me
You can't save a wretch like me
When she was seventeen
She married a preacher man
And she settled down
In a little part of town
Followed him all around
Having little babies
Singing in a little church
In a little ghost town
She's so happy
(I don't want to keep up, I can't keep up)
She's so happy, keeping up
(I don't wanna keep up, keeping up with the Jones)
Finally she told me
Grandpa Dan traveled
Playing on the road
With Nat King Cole
And he womanized
Staying up all night
Cruisin' up around the town
From town to town, to town
Let me go, ahh, hurricane
Just let me go, ahh, I'm going to care
Why don't you be a Jones
Like your sister and your brother Noel?
When are you gonna be a Jones
Just like Utah and dad, God bless his soul
I've got the William's blood in me
I've got the William's blood in me
I've got the William's blood in me
I've got the William's blood in me
In me, in me, in me
Running though my veins
William's blood in me
In a room full of doves
I'm waiting for the angels
Spreading my wings
So I can fly
Let me fly, hurricane
(You can't save a wretch like me)
Let me fly, ahh, hurricane
Just let me go, ooh, hurricane
William's hurricane
Why don't you be a Jones
Like your sister and your brother Noel?
I say when are you gonna be a Jones
Just like Utah and dad, God bless his soul, oh
I've got the William's blood in me
I've got the William's blood in me
I've got the William's blood in me
(I'll never change)
I've got the William's blood in me
Ooh, let me go
I've got the William's blood in me
I'll never change
Let me go, oh, I'll never change
Let me go, never change, never change
Let me go, oh, oh, so [Incomprehensible]
Let me go
(I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up)
William's hurricane
Let me go
(I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up)
I've got the William's blood in me
Let me go
(I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up)
Let me go
(I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up)
I've got the William's blood in me
Let me go
(I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up)
Let me go
(I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up)
I've got the William's blood in me

Every day brings change
And the world puts on a new face
Certain things rearrange
And the whole world seems like a new place
Secretly I've been trailing you
Like a fox that preys on a rabbit
I had to get you and so I knew
I'd have to learn all your ways and all your habits
Oh, the catch that I was after
Then I looked up and I was in your arms
And it seemed baby, baby I got captured
What's this whole world coming to?
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game
I had laid such a tender trap
Hoping you might fall into it
But love hit me like a sudden slap
Just one of your kisses and baby I knew it
Oh, my plans didn't work out like I thought
'Cause I had laid this here trap for you
But it seems baby, baby I got caught
What's this whole world coming to?
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game
Oh, the catch that I was after
Then I looked up and I was in your arms
And it seemed baby, baby I got captured
What's this whole world coming to?
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game
I don't let me, I don't know
And I don't let me, let me know
I don't let me, I don't know
I don't let me, let me go
I don't let me, I don't know
Oh, the catch that I was after
Then I looked up and I was in your arms
And it seemed baby, baby I got captured
What's this whole world coming to?
Things just ain't the same

Sparks will fly, when the whistle blows

Way deep in the night
The voice of love is calling
So clear is the darkness
That reflects your face
Born out of love, locked in desire
The heat from your fire, seduction
Cries fill the dark, feel your embrace
Losing control, surrender
Oh, oh, I hear love calling
Oh, oh, the voice of love
Hard is the flesh, soft is the night
The rhythm of my heart beats like a drum
The language of my body moves to a time
The rhythm of desire like fire
Oh, oh, I hear love calling
Oh, oh, the voice of love
Oh, oh, I can hear love calling
Oh, oh the voice of love
I will be wrapped inside your love
I will be right within your love
I will be wrapped inside your love
Seduction surrender, I'll always remember
Locked inside your love
I will be right inside your love
I will be wrapped within your love
Seduction surrender, I'll always remember
Oh, oh, I hear love calling
Oh, oh, the voice of love
Oh, oh, I can hear love calling
Oh, oh the voice of love
I will be wrapped inside your love
I will be right inside your love

Seduction surrender, I'll always remember
Locked inside your love

I will be wrapped inside your love
Seduction surrender, I'll always remember
Locked inside your love

Love is a burning thing
It makes a firey ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell in a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burned, burned, burned
A ring of fire, a ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
And hearts like ours meet
I fell for you just like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burned, burned, burned
A ring of fire, a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burned, burned, burned
A ring of fire, a ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
And hearts like ours meet
I fell for you just like a child
And oh but the fire went wild
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burned, burned, burned
A ring of fire, a ring of fire, a ring of fire
And it burned, burned, burned
A ring of fire, a ring of fire, a ring of fire
A ring of fire, a ring of fire, a ring of fire

{Rhythm is both the song's maniacal and it's demonic charge
It is the original breath, it is the whisper of unremitting demand
What do you still want to be said the singer?
What do you think you can still draw from my lips?}
{Exact presence that no fantasy can represent
Purveyor of the old secret
Alive with the blood that boils again
And is pulsing where the rhythm is torn apart}
{How your singer's blood is incensed at the depth of sound
Lacerations echo in the mouth's open erotic sky where dance together
The lost trenches of rhythm and an imploring immobility
Ladies and gentlemen Miss Grace Jones, Jones the Rhythm}
Slave, slave
Slave to the rhythm, dance to the rhythm
Axe to wood in ancient times, man machine production line

Sing out loud 'The Chain Gang' song

Never stop the action
Keep it up, keep it up
Slave to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm
The rhythm master, never stop

I'm hoping to find a new source of information
I'll step off the line, I've been searching for some inspiration
The thing I wrote off as false, came true
Another gift of mine with love from me to you
Don't be intimidated, I don't wanna be the first one
It's a problem calculated, I've been searching for some inspiration
The thing I wrote off as false came true
Another gift of mine with love from me to you
Stop it now I've been killing myself
I've been willing myself to give back all what he gave
Another turnstile bare to the bone turning alone
Hope he's turning in his grave
My source of satisfaction from laying it on the line
You could be the one too, I've been searching for some inspiration

Hey, hey, hey, hey you
Hey, hey, hey, hey you
Your life is green, you still can't make a move
Get up, my friend, you've got something to prove
You're life is greed, you're stuck in the middle of the road
You're up, you're down, way down there below
Driving satisfaction

Give me that driving satisfaction

(Gimme, gimme that driving satisfaction)

How long before we see, we have broken those chains?
Oh, God, [Incomprehensible]
Just like the bird that sings it in the dream
Baby, we are born free
Oh, now, I want you to know now
We are in charge of our own destiny
Freedom's only but a state of mind
You've got to leave them shackles behind
Don't you cry freedom, exercise your freedom
Don't cry freedom, exercise your freedom
Don't cry freedom, it's a state of mind
Oh, ooh, cry, don't cry, don't cry, well, well, well
Freedom's only but a state of mind
You've got to leave them shackles behind, yeah, yeah
Some of us get to dance on a dream
Every day we pray to that which we cannot see
Why is it so, so difficult to love that which we see?
Love for you and me
Tell me now, do you like what you see?
Are those images forced upon us, reflections of you and me
Don't you let them play upon your mind
You've got to leave them shackles behind
Oh, now, I want you to know that
We are each other our own destiny
Just like the bird that sings within the dreams
Baby, you are born free
Oh, yeah, every night, oh, now
Don't you cry, freedom, freedom
Don't cry, don't cry, oh, now, freedom
Don't you cry, don't cry, freedom, don't cry
Exercise your freedom, it's a state of, don't cry, freedom
Just like the bird that sings within the dream
You stand there, stutter, brains like butter
You dissed your father, sister, your mother
Times have tried too hard to your answer
To give up instead of live up to the stance of a man
Understand that I'm a right hand
Five out of five will die, from crack
And on my left the birth the same and the same birth
The kid once did and now his death
Is echoed around the world for all to hear
So let's have a merry New Year
Yo Grace, school 'em
They're lost now, taken over, crack attack
They're lost now, taken over, crack attack
There's a little boy who lives down the way
I heard he's crazy from crack in his brain
He's lost now, he's taken over, crack attack
Lost now and taken over, crack attack
Don't do it, cheap high, say no
Though I wonder who is to blame
All this epidemic, driving me insane, all of it
I see the kids dying in the streets
Whoever makes one, they're gonna lose his way
Lost know, taken over, crack attack
They're lost now, taken over, crack attack
Stuck in the middle and don't know where to go
They've got so now, they're living for the blow
They get it, babe, doing it for the thrill
It's so insane, such danger for a thrill
Lost now, they're taken over, crack attack
Don't do it, cheap high, break the tie
You can turn it over, you can take control
You want your mind, your body and soul
Don't you let crack put you in a hole
You've done without and you can do it now
Said crack attack, crack attack, crack attack
Don't do it, say no, give it up
Lost, you're lost now, lost now
Taken over, crack attack, crack attack
Taken over, crack attack, crack attack
You want to shoot me down?
'Cause I, I've got a bulletproof heart
I've got a bulletproof heart
Shotgun, hit and run
You've had your fun the you left me stung
You took my heart for target practice
And now I know that love shares no justice
So I, I've got a bulletproof heart
I've got a bulletproof heart
Here is something you ought to know
You better pack up and you better go now
Don't mess with me, no playing around
I'm going to stomp you straight in the ground
'Cause I, I've got a bulletproof heart
(She's got a bulletproof, a bulletproof)
I've got a bulletproof heart
(She's got a bulletproof, a bulletproof)
Oh, I, I've got a bulletproof heart
(Heart, heart, heart, heart)
Oh, I, I've got a bulletproof heart
(Heart, heart, heart, heart)
Finger on the trigger, you're ready to shoot
I'm kicking you out, not sharing my loot
I'm locking all my closets, I'm closing my legs
No use for you to even stand there and beg
'Cause I, I've got a bulletproof heart
(She's got a bulletproof, a bulletproof)
I've got a bulletproof heart

Yeah, I, I've got a bulletproof heart

A bulletproof heart
A bulletproof heart
A bulletproof heart
A bulletproof heart
A bulletproof heart
I'll never write my memoirs
There's nothing in my book
The only way you see me, an art groupie
I'm hooked
Some people like to be used
I've been used and amused
But that's the way I see me
That's my art groupie look
Love me in a picture
Kiss me in a cast
Touch me in a sculpture
Whisper in my mask
Don't ask me any questions
My personal life is a bore
Admire me in glory
An art groupie, that's all
Love me in a picture
Kiss me in a cast
Touch me in a sculpture
Whisper in my mask
I'll never write my memoirs
There's nothing in my book
The only way you see me, an art groupie
Oh, nobody does it the way I like this?
Where are you from?
Yeah, you really got me now
I was at a party, spotted your baby face
Hair slicked back in place, smile so vivid
I knew I had to make a move on your pretty feet
Weak off I've got to think to get you in my limits
Let me show you how to ease my tension, use your body and soul
Just how far will I go?
You want an answer to your question do you really want to know?
You're out of my reach that's why I want you more
It's a choice of trick or treat
We'll begin and end on a 7 day weekend
Are you so blind that you can't see?
A kiss will lead you on, sex will bring you under
I bet you it's all over
Uh huh, gotta get up, gotta get up
Send you up, send you up
On a 7 day weekend
Contradictions get distorted
And you know there's no guarantee
(Gotta get up, gotta get up)
I had to fool with his friend
Standing in front of him to bring his attention to me
(Gotta get up, gotta get up)
Let me show you how to ease my tension, use your body and soul
Just how far will I go?
You want an answer to your question, do you really want to know?
'Cause, you're out of my reach that's why I want you more
It's a choice of trick or treat
We'll begin and end on a 7 day weekend
Are you so blind that you can't see?
A kiss will lead you on, the sex will bring you under
I bet you it's all over
Love that's beyond the line
Losing my dignity
Love without trust, what is it worth
You've got to live your life gracefully
Gotta get up, gotta get up
Send you up, send you up
Send you up, send you up
It's a choice of trick or treat
We'll begin and end on a 7 day weekend
Are you so blind that you can't see?
A kiss will lead you on the effect will bring you under
I bet you it's all over

Walking down the street,
Kicking cans,
Looking at the billboards,
(? )
Summing up the people,
Checking out the race,
Doing what I'm doing,
Feeling out of place,
Walking, walking,
In the rain.
Feeling like a woman,
Looking like a man,
Sounding like a no-no,
Mating when I can,
Whistling in the darkness,
Shining in the night,
Coming to conclusions,
Right is night is tight,
Walking, walking,
In the rain.
Come in all you jesters,
Enter all you fools,
Sit down no-no's,
Vulgar fools,
Trip the light fantastic,
Dance the swivel hips,
Coming to conclusions,
Button up your lips,
Walking, walking,
Strange, I've seen that face before,
Seen him hanging 'round my door,
Like a hawk stealing for the prey,
Like the night waiting for the day,
Strange, he shadows me back home,
Footsteps echo on the stones,
Rainy nights, on Hausmann Boulevard,
Parisian youths, drifting from the bars,
Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort?
Tu te prends pour qui
Toi aussi tu detestes la vie
Dance in bars and restaurants,
Home with anyone who wants,
Strange he's standing there alone,
Staring eyes chill me to the bone.
Dans sa chambre, Joel et sa valise,
Un regard sur ses fringues,
Sur les murs, des photos,
Sans regret, sans mélo,
Yeah!
You have to climb, for every dime,
You have to fight, work over-time,
And still get out in time, to commit,
The perfect crime.
And you know the drill, or soon you will,
Your dressed to kill, look like a mill, yeah,
Addicted to the thrill, to design,
The perfect crime.
"got your balls on the grill, honey[!],
Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose - this is fun."
You have to climb, for every dime,
You have to fight...
The perfect crime, [sing with me honey],
And still get out in time, to commit,
Pride, a lot of good it does alone at night,
Pride, it does'nt matter now whose wrong or right,
I, I hold my head up high for all to see,
I'm, I'm not fooling anyone but me.
What good does it do to hide,
The hurting that I'm feeling?
Since your no longer sleeping by my side,
It may be too late to show,
But just in case your wondering, I need you so!

Well I finally got my wish to work in New York city,
It isn't everything that I hoped it would be,
I while away the lonely hours, gazing at the city towers,
Wondering if there isn't someone in there just for me,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tennessee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
My ambition and wish?
But I'm missin' the tradition,
Everybody in a hurry,
No ones got the time and no ones got the time of day.
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tennessee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
One city isn't pretty if you see it on your own,
It's a fabulous place?
There's no one I know to cherish, no one I can hug, and no one around? day.
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tennessee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

You took my heart for target practice
And now I know that love shares no justice
So I, I've got a bulletproof heart

The end's not in sight, it's gone way too far,
This could turn out another unwinning war,
It wasn't inherited, certainly not a joke,
So many human hearts, hanging in hope,
Unlimited capacity for love,
Unlimited capacity for love.
And now I must add another to love in my life,
It's one thing to say, to do is another,
If Im capable of adapting without pressured expense,
In a schizoid society in a classic moral sense,
Unlimited capacity for love,
Umlimited capacity for love.
How young I am now, stop counting the weeks,
We're safe from the void, where they're still
counting sheep,
Put the phone to the floor, you'll hear my heart beat,
Some people get married, but I'll never cheat,
Unlimited capacity for love,
Unlimited capacity for love.
The end's not in sight, it's gone way too far,
This could turn out another unwinning war,
It wasn't inherited, certainly not a joke,
So many human hearts, hanging in hope,
It's much louder than before, man
Can you hear me?

Isn't it a crying shame how you became
Isn't it a crying shame how you became the devil in my life
Welcome in tonight, wide open arms
Freeze dried smile, fixed in a frame of spite
Drop your names just like a bomb campaign
Collaborate while being exploited
And we celebrate by drinking poison
Rolled back my eyes tonight, called you inside
Tied my tongue, tried to stop all your lies
I ask myself, who am i
Am i forever cast in your mold
Devil in my life, treading on thin ice
With your words so wise, always in disguise
Devil in your eyes, i've seen it in your lies
Slowly mesmerized, as i fall you rise
Devil in my life, treading on thin ice
With your words so wise, always in disguise
Devil in your eyes, i've seen it in your lies
Slowly mesmerized, as i fall you rise
Isn't it a crying shame how you became the devil in my life
Isn't it a crying shame how you became the devil in my life
Isn't it a crying shame how you became the devil in my life
Isn't it a crying shame how you became
You're the architect of my destruction
Tears that fell tonight, your power fed
We slit our wrist, but it was you who bled
Gathered your minions to tell us that we are blessed
No one even dares to suggest we are so powerless
Devil in my life, treading on thin ice
With your words so wise, always in disguise
Devil in your eyes, i've seen it in your lies
Slowly mesmerized, as i fall you rise
You're the architect of my destruction
Tain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring

The toll of the bell
Aggravated, spare for days
Stroll downtown in the red light place
Jump up, bubble up, what's in store?

Stake my place in the singles bar

Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Limbo up, limbo down

Dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Time for the second shift,

The green-eyed stranger, time for a wager,

Juicy, cat love, lips, me, me,
Juicy, lips, me, me, love, a kiss,
The sun comes swaggering across the harbour,
And kisses the lady waiting in the narrows,
She already plenty shaky stands there,
Blushing, clutching the torch of liberty,
Uptown luigi who don't speak english so good,
Is having an accident,
Backing his dumptruck into the fence,
The tin cans go clattering down the lane,
A drowsy bum thinks it's thunder,
And pulls the news over his head to stop the rain.
No, it ain't judgement day,
No, it ain't armageddon,
It's just the apple stretching and yawning, just morning.
New york putting it's feet on the floor,
It's just the apple stretching and yawning, just morning,
New york putting it's feet on the floor.
Suburban refugees fleeing the cracked cisterns,
Worm ridden fruit trees stream out grand central,
Pleased to be breathing bagels and pollution.
In Times Square new graffiti, old revolutions,
A bag lady is cursing the waiter for giving her a free coffee
Lucky he's a jesus freak moonlighting,
At the ACME discount store over in Queens,
The burglar alarm starts to scream,
A cop picks out his gun fires one and yells, "freeze!".
No, it ain't world war four,
No, it ain't world war four,
It's just the apple stretching and yawning, just morning,
New York putting it's feet on the floor.
Nearby the Hudson a hooker makes a 'u',
To help a blind man to his pew in the park,
Some long ago home training jars the memory,
The bag lady says 'thank you' and curtsies.
The herd of beaten tourists limp homeward,
Having bitten off more than they could chew,
Moaning them old big city blues,
Miss liberty depicts her qualms and grins,
Another subway starts rattling,
And luigi's cans go clattering down the hill.
No, it ain't some kind of ill wind,
No, it ain't the world coming to an end,
Just the apple stretching and yawning, just morning,
Kiss today goodbye
The sweetness and the sorrow
Wish me luck, the same to you
But I can't regret, what I did for love
What I did for love
Look, my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
It's as if we always knew
But I won't forget, what I did for love
What I did for love
Gone, love is never gone
As we travel on
Love? s what we remember
Kiss today goodbye
And point me t'ward tomorrow
We did, what we had to do
Won't forget, can't regret, what I did for love
What I did for love, what I did for love
Love is never gone
As we travel on
That's what we remember
Kiss today goodbye
And point me t'ward tomorrow
Wish me luck, the same to you
But I won't forget, what I did for love
What I did for love
Gone, love is never gone
As we travel on
That's what we remember
Kiss today goodbye
And point me t'ward tomorrow
We did, what we had to do
Won't forget, can't regret, what I did for love
What I did for love, what I did for love
What I did for love
What I did for love, what I did for love
What I did for love, what I did for love
What I did for love, what I did for love
What I did for love, what I did for love
I tell you of a girl, her husband was a soldier
Gone to war in some strange country far away
No word had come to her but the rumors of great battles fought
And dying in their thousands and the world full of fear
As the day would turn to evening she would light a pure white candle
And place it in a window bright from where it could be seen
As she placed it in the window softly without thinking
She said let this burning candle be a beacon
Let joy and innocence prevail
Let joy and innocence prevail
Believe that luck will never fail
Let joy and innocence prevail
And one night, asleep
She dreamed she saw her husband fall
In a great white cavalry charge
And waking in tears
She saw the candle burning in the window
She still had hope
And through the window
A man in the distance
But as he came closer
She saw he was a stranger
The stranger said, "I bring a message from a General
A captain has been wounded, his life hangs by a thread
He calls out your name and he wishes you to come to him
But the journey is a hard road and you may be afraid"
And she laughed and said, "No road could be too hard for I am fearless
A captain and a husband, I have gained this bright new day"
And she said with all her heart, she would fly to be beside him
And her love would heal his wounds, restore him to her
Let joy and innocence prevail
Let joy and innocence prevail
Believe that luck will never fail
Let joy and innocence prevail
Let joy and innocence prevail
Let joy and innocence prevail
Believe that luck will never fail
Let joy and innocence prevail

Still walkin barefoot, still walkin barefoot, still,
Still walkin barefoot, in Beverly Hills,
Still walkin barefoot still, in Beverly Hills,
I can walk on the stone, I can walk on the grass,
I'm walkin all over this earth,
I can walk on the line, I can walk on the edge,
I'm walkin all over this earth,
I can walk on low, I can walk on high,
I'm walkin all over this earth,
And, I can walk on the grass, I can walk on the grass,
And walk on, you name it.
Still walkin barefoot, in Beverly Hills,
Still walkin barefoot still, in Beverly Hills,
I keep my feet from burning up,
For years I walked back beat,
With anything under my feet,
An immunity to heat,
An immunity to heat,
And walk on, you name it.
Still walkin barefoot, in Beverly Hills,
Still walkin barefoot still, in Beverly Hills,

Oh for years I walked back beat,
All the years have gone to my feet,
I've walked in the tall grass?
C'est une chanson,
Qui nous ressemble,
Toi qui m'aimais,
Et je t'aimais,
Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble,
Toi qui m'aimais,
Moi qui t'aimais,
Mais la vie sépare,
Ceux qui s'aiment,
Tout doucement,
Sans faire de bruit,
Et la mer efface sur le sable,
Les pas des amants désunis.
Since he went away,
The days grow long...
And soon I'll hear,
Old winter songs,
But I miss you most of all,
And if I wander down the wrong road,
It's alright baby, just let me go,
If I get tired of all those assholes,
It's alright cause' I want them to know.
I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit,
Rough shit, same shit,
Hey Jesus come on down and save us, save us, rave on.
And on the road I ride through Richmond
Rich man, You know the business I'm in
And feeling sorry, makes me feel mad,
Someday, uh baby, I play to win.
I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit,
Rough shit, same shit,
Can't Jesus come on down and save us, save us, rave on.
I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit,
Same shit, wrong shit
Hey Jesus come on down and save us, save us, rave on.
And if I wander down the wrong road,
It's alright honey, just let me go,
If I get tired of all those assholes,
It's alright cause' I want them to know.
I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit,
Rough shit, same shit,

Amado Mio, amado mio, amado mio,
Amado Mio, love me forever, and let forever begin tonight,
Amado Mio, when we're together, I'm in a dreamworld of sweet delight,
And many times I've whispered, amado mio,
It was just a phrase that I heard in plays, I was acting a part.
But now when I whispered, amado mio, can't you tell I care,
By the feeling there 'cause it comes from my heart?
I won't endeavor, I love my darling,
Longing to hold you and hold you tight,
Amado Mio, love me forever and let forever begin tonight.
Amado Mio, amado mio, oh, uh, uh, amado mio amado mio,
Amor, amor mio, amor mio, oh je t'aime mi amor, mon amour,

Amado Mio, love me forever and let forever commencer ce soir,
Amor Mio, love me forever, trato de amor (?) esta sera verdad.
Love me tonight, love me tonight (whispers),

Paul Morley: "What did you want to be when you were
seventeen?"
Grace Jones: "Not bored."
Paul Morley: "And what was the first thing you did to
alter that situation of being bored?"
Grace Jones: "I floated on a cloud."
Paul Morley: "Like we all do I suppose?"
Grace Jones: "Not all of us."
Paul Morley: "And then what happened?"
Grace Jones: "The lucky ones."
Paul Morley: "And then what happened? You fell off the
cloud?"
Grace Jones: "I don't think I ever came down from that
cloud. It was wonderful."
Oh the action
Jones
Miss Grace Jones
Jean-Paul Goude: "There was nothing that indicated that
Grace could be a star except her deep conviction."
Jones
Miss Grace Jones
Grace Jones: "I think that too much vanity in a man
irritates me, and in a woman, oh God..."
Jones
Miss Grace Jones
Paul Morley: "What things make you blush?"
Grace Jones: "Being adored and worshipped, one of the
things that makes me blush."
Jones
Miss Grace Jones
Jean-Paul Goude: "Grace really has this thing in the
back of her head. She really lets herself carry and
when it feels good she just fits into things. She
doesn't analyze too much."
Jones
Miss Grace Jones
"I first met Grace at the Russian Tea Room in New York.
That was about 1978. She was like the disco queen of
that period."
Jones
I was amazed when I first saw Grace Jones
She was the first to take radical fashion out of its
Predictable Parisian context
And bring it into the music scene
Where I had always thought it had belonged
The first night watching her at Le Mush
I already had decided to work with her
That night she was singing her hit song 'I need a man'
To a roomful of shrieking gay Bobby [Incomprehensible]
The ambiguity of her act was that she herself looked like a man
A man singing 'I need a man', to a bunch of men
I could see how the average guy
Could get a little scared by her physical appearance
It was so powerful, though she was, I think she was great
I photographed her in different positions, I cut her legs apart
Lengthened, turned her body to the audience
Soon I found myself living to the very fast rhythm of Grace Jones
We would go out dancing all night, every night
I was completely neglect my work
And intense hysterical romance developed between Grace and me
Then I ran out of money and realized I had to stop all this bullshit
And get back to work
I had this idea of using grace as the idea of a vehicle for my work
She had inspired me
On tour, we used to improvise thinking of an idea at breakfast
And working it out directly on stage
I decided deliberately to mythologize Grace Jones
Black shiny muscular people, aah, aerodynamic in design
'Twas to emphasize this belief that I painted Grace Jones blue, black
I am no longer sure what I fell in love with
Grace or how my idea of Grace should be
For the two years following the birth of our son
There was nothin' else in my life
Grace let me take her over completely
(Slave)
But then I discovered that what I was making
Was speeding too far beyond what was there
By the time our one man show reached to the U.S
Tricky:
From cradle to grave
From cradle to grave
From cradle to grave
From cradle to grave
From cradle to grave
From cradle to grave
Grace:
I am woman
I am sun
I can give birth to she
I can give birth to son
And I can be cool
Soft as the breeze,
I'll be a hurricane
Ripping up trees!
I am woman, I am sun
I am woman, I am sun
Can't see where I run
No matter how far!
I am woman, I am sun
I can give birth to she
I can give birth to son!
And I can be cool
Soft like the breeze,
I'll be a hurricane
Ripping up trees!
I can scheme, I can lie,
I'll take care of you, til the day you die.
I can hold brush, I can push broom,
When I walk by, flowers will bloom.
Once a man, twice a boy
Twice a man, once a boy
I'll be a hurricane, ripping up trees!
You keep taking
You keep taking
You keep taking
You keep taking
You keep taking
You keep taking
I keep aching!
I can scheme, I can lie,
I'll take care of you, til the day you die.
I'll be a hurricane, ripping up trees!
You keep taking
You keep taking
You keep taking
You keep taking
You keep taking

Keep it up
Je n'ai marre with your theatrics,
Your acting's a drag,
It's ok on TV, but you can turn it off,
Your marriage is a tragedy,
But it's not my concern,
I'm very superficial I hate everything official,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2)
Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death,
You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath,
Attachment to obligation, through guilt and regret, shit that's so wet
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Oh!
You asked my advice I say use the door,
But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore,
And now you wanna use me for emotional blackmail,
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Oh!
Confusion in her eyes that says it all
I've lost control
And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by
She's lost control
She gave away the secrets to her past
And said, I've lost control
To the voice that told her when and where to act
She said, I've lost control again
She turned around and stabbed him in the hand and said
I've lost control
Now I'll never know just why or understand, she said
I've lost control
She screamed out, kicking on the side and said
I've lost control again
She writhed upon the floor, I thought she'd die
And said, I've lost control
I've lost control
I've lost control again
She had to pause her breath and state her case and say
I've lost control again
She showed up all her errors and mistakes, and said
I've lost control again
I've lost control
I've lost control again
She's clinging to the nearest passerby
I've lost control
She gave away the secrets of her past and said
I've lost control
With the voice that told her when and where to act, she said
I've lost control
And she turned around and stabbed him in the hand and said
I've lost control again
Now I'll never know just why or understand, she said
I've lost control
And she screamed out, kicking on her side and said
I've lost control
And writhed upon the floor, I thought she'd die, and said
I've lost control
I've lost control

Paul Morley: "Yeah."
Grace Jones: "It's that special -"
Paul Morley: "What's it mean to you?"
Grace Jones: "Well it means, uh, a lot of romance, and um. I had quite a few French lovers, you know, so every time I sing it I think about them."

The first time you rode your bicycle down the streets, you fell on your hands,
(?) and bruises, the first time you dropped then you ran,
Scary but Fun, take a chance in life you have one/won,
A little bit scary, but fun, did you forget what it's like to be young?
I remembered I learned how to water-ski, and the road ran over my head,
Broke several bones in my body, I got right up and did it again
Scary but Fun take a chance in life you have one/won,
A little bit scary, but fun, did you forget what it's like to be young,
See you standing on the corner, watching lights as the action goes by,
Hearing music coming from the neighbour, as they sit in the silence, hear them cry,
Take to your wings, butterfly,
Scary, but fun, Crazy, but so much fun,
Scary, but fun, Crazy, but so much fun,
Scary but Fun, take a chance in life you have one/won,
Scary, little bit scary, but fun, did you forget what it's like to be young?
Fun! (x3)
Fun! (x3)
Fun! Young! Fun!
I'm a little bit scary, but I'm fun,
Just a little scary, but so much fun,
Who can define infinity?
Definition of the end
Don't ask me will die for you
Question always looks for an answer
Question:
I love you to life
I love you to life
I love you to life
(And not to death)
Could your dark heart be contagious?
Would you pray for someone's demise?
If there is no law, there are no crimes
Is fear the air you breathe?
Breathe
I love you to life
I love you to life
I love you to life
(And not to death)
Your creator is what you are jealous of
You're still existing on another plane
If you should venture on a question not asked
So strange, we're all so different somehow
Different
Falling like a star, that leaves a trail
Then vanishes behind you
You play with the same feelings
That the gods must possess
I love you to life
And I won't ask you, to die, for me
I love you to life
I won't die for you
(Love you to life)
Calling all the gods
Calling all the gods
Calling all the gods
Don't you die for me
Between the beginning and the end
You'll find magnitudes of questions that divide
Attracted to immorality. A magnet to immortality
If I could have my way
There would never be an end to this beginning
If I could have my way
I love you to life
(Love, love, love. Live, live, live)
I love you to life
And I won't ask you to die for me
I won't die for you
Don't you die for me
Not a violent person, even heavens do get scared,
Lightning strikes around my heart, somethings coming near,
Never loved a soldier-man in a mail-man uniform,
Catch a burglar in my arms, has tipped off my alarm.
Man around the house,
Man around the house.
Listen to the music, to distract me from my fears,
Then I feel a sudden rush, and the lights disappear,
Never loved a fisher-man in a police uniform,
Catch a burglar in my arms, has tipped off my alarm.
Man around the house,
Man around the house.
Like a recurring dream, thats goin' round my head,
Guess I need security, when I'm sleepin' in my bed,
Never loved a fisher-man in a mail-man uniform,
Catch a burglar in my arms, has tipped off my alarm.
Man around the house, be a perfect solution,
Man around the house, he ain't my husband.
Call the police,
You're bigger than I am, shit,
The telephone, call the God-damn police,
What'd ya' mean you're scared?
I'm scared too, I'm not goin' down there!
Uh-uh, I'm stayin' right here, I'm gonna lock my door,
Don't turn on the lights, God, don't turn on the lights!
He might see us, you can't go out there with no clothes on,
Are you crazy, put some clothes on, don't be a fool, coward!
I'm not scared, he's not gonna' catch me in here without any clothes on,
I'm gonna put on my clothes, do you have a flash light?
Where's the flash light? Turn the lights on, I need a flash light,
Back in the night is the father of hell,
By command that I wont go (? ),
If your a stranger your life is in danger,
So guard your lives.
I've a vocation of verse meditation,
I know if it's to ditch,
Optimum (? ),
Yes I'm a witch.
No fantasy,
You're stuck with me,

Alors pars, et surtout ne te retourne pas!
Pars, mais qu'est-ce que tu as? tire-toi!
Quoi qu'il arrive, je serai toujours avec toi,
Alors pars, et surtout ne te retourne pas!
Et l'enfant, il est avec moi,
Il est la, il est drole comme tes yeux,
Il est comme toi, impatient,
Il n'a de peur, il aime la vie,
Et la mort ne lui fais pas peur, o pars!
Tais-toi! mais qu'est-ce que tu as? pars!
Je t'aime, toujours, il faut toujours,
Alors pars, tire-toi!
Ca va pars, qu'est-ce que tu dois faire? alors pars,
Ca va bien, pas de probleme, pars,

I didnt know I was hurting anyone,
I didnt think, I was only having fun,
Is it bad, to put me through all this,
All this pain, you're driving me insane,
I didnt know I was only having fun,
I didnt think I was hurting anyone,
Is it bad, to put me through all this,
Get this right, on the road again
Keep on blinking in my eyes
And I think I might go home again
Another own my memories
Almost scattered in the stars
And I think I might go home again.
Well well well, I'm on a tightrope
Well well well, I think I'm falling
Well well well well well well.
Well well well, I'm on a tightrope
Well well well, I think I'm falling
Well well well well well well.
Getting high and staying out late
I've a heart that's big and strong
And I think I might go home again
Now I'm losing time and sleep
And I can't tell right from wrong
And I feel like I'm alone again.
Well well well, I'm on a tightrope
Well well well, I think I'm falling
Well well well well well well.
Well well well, this ain't the first time
Well well well, won't be the last time
Well well well well well well.
Got one hand in the stirring wheel
And the other on my eyes
Trying to make some kind of sense
Throw logic in my life.
Well well well, I'm on a tightrope
Well well well, I think I'm falling
Well well well well well well.
Well well well, this ain't the first time
Well well well, won't be the last time
Well well well well well well.
I'm on a tightrope, I think I'm falling
Coming home, coming home
This ain't the first time, won't be the last time
