a pretty little altar boy
daddy's little pride and joy
change the water into wine
touch yourself and you'll go blind
a warning signal from above
a place where sinners fall in love
they say that opposites attract
so very strange:
Black On Black
a virginal trembling hand
a frightened sacrificial lamb
from a blinding light a shadow falls
a code of silence quakes the halls
a whisper to a peircing scream
a love they say is frightening
they say that opposites attract
so very strange:
Black on Black
change the water into wine
touch yourself and you'll go blind
they say that opposites attract
so very strange:
Black On Black
I heard him say...I don't want to make you feel guilty
Are you a little short of breath?
some things are so sacred...
like a leading question
the power of suggestion
like the face of danger
like the kindness of a stranger
like a Judas Kiss
like pleasure and a little pain
like a sinner or a holy man
a virginal trembling hand
immaculate seduction
absolute corruption
like a blasphemous contract
no turning back
like Black On Black
Black On Black
I'll be your part-time prima donna
I'm available and free
So come make love to me
A little entertainment... for a little while
You know that a miracle would be
A one night love eternally
Oh, a one night love would surely be...
A miracle
CHORUS
Miracle Maker
Make it a miracle
Miracle Maker
Why don't you make it a miracle?
If you would only dare a lovely love affair
It wouldn't change your style
A lovers love would make it all worthwhile
(Tell me when the play begins) or don't explain
But you know that a miracle would be
A one night love eternally
Oh, a one night love would surely be...
A miracle
CHORUS
Miracle Maker
Make it a miracle
Miracle Maker
Why don't you make it a miracle?
BRIDGE
Take this rendezvous that I offer you
'Cause nothing is for certain
Turn down the lights (turn down the lights)
Celluloid summer cut me like a knife
And the hipsters are riding shotgun with my life
Oh, their arrogance is worth its weight in gold
While they price me, merchandise me - then I'm sold
CHORUS
Seven weeks and it's off the charts
They tell me, "Bad Timing"
Everybody's on holiday
No reply - Bad Timing
Cash advance on my royalties?
"So sorry, Bad Timing"
I gave you all of my loyalties
No reply - Bad Timing
Talk ain't cheap when you're paying by the pound
But they always mention their expense account
'Til they take you to the point of no return
Legalize me, criticize me - I've been burned
CHORUS
Fell in love with my manager
They called that Bad Timing
I'm being taken advantage of
They told me, "Bad Timing"
And in return for my loyalty
So sorry, "Bad Timing"
He's taking half of my royalties
Give me Milk & Honey, honey
Spice the recipe
Pledge allegiance to the good sweet life
Light the light for me
Taste the Milk & Honey, honey
Make me come alive
Make my cup runneth over 'til
Two and two make five
CHORUS
Honey, honey I've had the best
Honey 'til they lay me to rest
You should have been there,
You should have been there...
do-do-do-do ......... do-do-do
do-do-do-do ......... do-do-do
do-do-do-do ......... do-do-do
Turn on Milk & Honey, honey
Make my case for me
Don't throw me crumbs from the table, yeah
Give me the good life and the liberty
Taste the Milk & Honey
Make me come alive
Make my cup runneth over 'til
Two and two make five
CHORUS
Honey, honey I've had the best
Honey 'til they lay me to rest
You should have been there,
You should have been there...
do-do-do-do ......... do-do-do
do-do-do-do ......... do-do-do
when he walked in the apartment
She was hungry... she was cold
When I overheard the argument
It was half a minute old
With his finger on the trigger
And an aim as true as Capone
"You better love me like you did... It's do or die"
You better hurry, hurry!
CHORUS
Make Up Your Mind Paula
Make Up Your Mind Paula
Paula, make up your mind
Guaranteed to penetrate your mind
'Til he gets beneath your skin
She is juvenile and genuine
Notify your next of kin!
Common sense and social standards
Predetermined her reply
"You better love me like you did... It's do or die"
you better hurry, hurry!
CHORUS
Make Up Your Mind Paula
Make Up Your Mind Paula
Paula, make up...
BRIDGE
...Your mind for the two of us
...Your mind for the two of us
And I heard him say,
"You better love me like you did... It's do or die"
Heartbreaker
With cheater eyes
Won't think nothin'
If you don't think twice
'Cause I'm Just Like You
You've run into someone
Just Like You
Romancer
Caught you back in town
Turn your back on me
And I'm fooling around
'Cause I'm Just Like You
You always knew I was
Just Like You
Hangin' with friends who are incurably handsome
You and who's who
But when they ask you, you unwillingly answer
"No one told me I was Just Like You!"
Sweet deceiver
We both pay the price
Taking liberties -
Take my advice
I'm Just Like You
You always knew I was
Just Like You
You take your love and then you hold it for ransom
In fair exchange for the truth
Giving your answer in your usual manner
Curtain calls
Followed by loud applause
And how patiently she waits
For the final encore
He walks down the stairs
Such a sad affair
Dancin' to his favorite tune
Like a marionette
She'll awaken on cue
CHORUS
And then she says, "My Mind's Made Up"
Now she says, "My Mind's Made Up"
"every time My Mind's Made Up"
He calls and she comes running back
He calls and she comes running back
Why do you always change your line girl?
Through the door
What are you waiting for?
Make up your mind girl and move
For the final encore
She sits all alone
By the telephone
And waits until he accommodates
Like a marionette
She'll awaken on cue
CHORUS
And then she says, "My Mind's Made Up"
Now she says, "My Mind's Made Up"
"every time My Mind's Made Up"
He calls and she comes running back
He calls and she comes running back
Why do you always change your line girl?
BRIDGE
C'mon, c'mon
Now's the time to do it while your mind is runnin' through it
C'mon, c'mon
Maybe I don't wanna use you
But I'd like to make you part of the plan
Over and over you refuse to let me
Try to make you understand
CHORUS
You Could Be Good For Me
Yeah good for me
You Could Be Good For Me
So very good for me
If you said "No," I wouldn't hold it against you
I'd rather hold you in the palm of my hand
Trying over and over to persuade you
'Cause I'm still a woman without a man
CHORUS
You Could Be Good For Me
Yeah good for me
You Could Be Good For Me
So very good for me
BRIDGE
Over and over I found that
I-yi-yippie-i-ay-tell me which way the wind is blowing
i-yi-yippie-i-o-no-not even if the gods are rolling
say please - string those beads -
place your gets - put away your wallet
more grease on those knees -
or have it any which way you call it
never goin back when you're hands start shaking
never look back when you hit the pavement
never turn back til you know where you're going
never turn your back - not even if the choir's singing
never lean back when the beggar's kneeling
('cause you) never see dirt til it hits the ceiling
i-yi-yippie-i
CHORUS
you don't think about
tommorow (ahh - not afraid of dying)
you don't act your age (ahh - gotta let it go)
it don't even hurt to swallow (ahh - got a way with lying)
not even if you let it show
cruel age, swing that cage.... out
let's cause another chain reaction
this place smacks of Rage
what that gat -
and -- see it all come crashing ... down
never goin back to a cloudy vision
never goin back until you quit that bitchin
never goin back until the temperature's holdin'
never goin--back to another empty feast
never goin back until we kill that beast
never goin back unless a palm gets greased
you bet - no sweat -- it's open season
REPEAT CHORUS

The blunt
from the cut spills the milk from her veins
the sacrifice? the sum of all that remains
she summons the courage
and proffers a drink
she undoes her pure urge
and offers the pinkness
- of all that is potent
- of all that is pure
- of all that is sugar
- as sweet as liqueur
purges herself of what has kept her bound
she plunges
the wealth of her values and drowns
- in her shallow assumptions
- and tallies the score
- for the face -- face of an angel
- is the face of a whore.
i give you good face
didn't i give you good face?
said i give you good face.

dribble of your words ain't got no effect
when you're down

- when the elastic-snap
- of approval don't stretch
- any further than any further than any further than

didn't i piss in the face of derision and frown?
didn't i swallow my scruples and wet kiss the ground?
- i found my Faith under these nails

it's the face--face of and angel, baby
and the face of a whore.
i give you good face

Just another way to pass the time (I know)
A "D" in science for a passing grade
Drinking vodka with your lemonade
CHORUS
And oh--oh... What Your Mama Don't Know
Oh--oh... What Your Mama Don't Know
Caught you thumbing through some dirty books
Out in the alley with some smalltime crooks (we know)
Come-a-courtin' and your shirt be clean
And what you're saying classified obscene
CHORUS
And oh--oh.... What Your Mama Don't Know
Oh--oh.... What Your Mama Don't Know

What she doesn't know...
Never hurt her none...
She doesn't know
She'll never know...
Someone told me to call
So I did and
No one answered
And I don't hear a sound
But I know that
someone's laughing
I'm trying hard to keep my confidence
You take advantage of my innocence
CHORUS
Where are you?
How are you?
I Wait For An Answer
Wait For An Answer
It's been so long, I'll hold on
And Wait For An Answer
Wait For An Answe
No one knows you, what you go through... oh but i do
Phone keeps ringing... no one knows what you're thinking,
Oh but i do, i do, i do
They were laughing at you
And I held out my hand
I was trying to get through
Without losing again
CHORUS
Where are you?
How are you?
I Wait For An Answer
Wait For An Answer
It's been so long, I'll hold on
And Wait For An Answer
Wait For An Answer
What's that you say? I can't hear you
Are those words meant for me like they appear to be?
The tension in my voice awakes you
You know who I am but my name escapes you
They were calling for you
And you started to run
If they asked about you
I wouldn't tell anyone
CHORUS
Where are you?
How are you?
I Wait For An Answer
Wait For An Answer
It's been so long, I'll hold on
And Wait For An Answer
Wait For An Answer
Wait For An Answer
BRIDGE
The kind of woman I am
I do things that you can't understand
But there are moments when you can read the lines on my face
Don't look at me now, look at me now
Look at me now!
CHORUS
Where are you?
How are you?
I Wait For An Answer
Wait For An Answer
It's been so long, I'll hold on
And Wait For An Answer
Wait For An Answer
You make me wait
You make me wait
Your face
Seems to me I've known you
Somewhere in a half-enchanted place
I have touched
Your face
You smile
Ah... the way you move me
You walk on stage I taste the wine
The power flows---this stallion's mine
You spin me 'round and burst me at the seams
CHORUS
Won't you
Touch Me
C'mon and
Touch Me
You smile and you too-much-me
Won't you come into my dream
And Touch Me
Mellow
You can write the story
Can play the lady you've been waiting for
You are beautiful
Mellow
Closer
Now I can hear the music
You stand up there arms open wide
Taunting me to step inside
How absurd! oh god! this night has been
CHORUS
Won't you
Touch Me
Come on and
Touch Me
You soothe me then you rush me
Won't you come into my dream
and...
Touch Me
BRIDGE
Did you know I followed you?
Did you know that you enticed me?
To write it in the stars that you will
Save me, shoot me into paradise
CHORUS
Won't you
Touch Me
Come on and
Touch Me
You soothe me then you rush me
Won't you come into my dreams
Reach out babe and touch my soul
You can love me, baby, 'til you lose control...
Ah... reach out babe and touch my soul
You can love me, baby, 'til you...
You branded me with fingerprints
When you pulled me to your breast
Clinging to my vanity
'Til I was to weak to protest
You never leave me alone
I could've done the same to you
Armed with paralyzing focus
Angular and still
Annointing me with accolades
Designed to break my will
Two of us are waiting
For one of us to blink
One look into your transparent eyes
Reflects the way I think
You never leave me alone... leave me alone
I could've done the same to you
You want me for your own
A little too much to put me through
CHORUS
We are targets for each other
Look in the mirror and
My eyes are aimed at you
We resemble one another
I find my Target when
My eyes are aimed - at - you
I stretched out of my skin
You were tugging at my ego
Someone noticed my anatomy unraveling
In a flash of inward vision
I hurled humilities at you
Somehow you never expected thunder from a quiet sky
My weapon is my point of view
You want me for your own
A little too much to put me through
CHORUS
We are targets for each other
Look in the mirror and
My eyes are aimed at you
We resemble one another
I find my Target when
My eyes are aimed at you
When my eyes are aimed at you
I find my Target
your arms
rest upon my shoulders
you're hynotized
never try to break my stare
put your mouth on mine
your back arch low
your skin feels tight
a sudden urge within
pulsate pulsate
you and i begin
to Tango skin to skin
feel the drama rise
look deep into my eyes
Let's Tango, we Tango
let the rythmn spin you
feel it deep within you
Let's Tango, Let's Tango
Let's Tango
we Tango
you and me Tango !
Tango ! Tango !
i trace
your figure in the darkness
your bodyheat
breathing deep in danger
wrap your fingertips
'round the back of my neck
your eyes shut tight
my cigarette tastes sweet
heartbeat heartbeat
you and i begin
to Tango skin to skin
whisper till we scream
our shadows in the moonbeam
Let's Tango, we Tango
surrender your alarm
and fall into my arms
Let's Tango, Let's Tango
Let's Tango
we Tango
you and me Tango !
Tango ! Tango !
when the rythmn's real slow
and our bodies feel close
you wanna put your mouth on mine
wanna put your mouth on mine
feel the drama rise
i lay beside your body quietly
but i feel as restless as these bedroom sheets
i'm not talking in my sleep
i'm not promising to keep
my secrets safe and warm
but something's swept inside me like this calm before the storm
if you sense anticipation
show me where you're coming from
this is a one-way conversation
Talk To Me please
Talk To Me
all the silence in the world don't bother you
my words weave in and out andslip right through
i stutter when i speak
it's imposible to keep
these things from showing through
'cause sometimes i don't wanna disappear inside of you
if you sense anticipation
show me where you're coming from
this is a one-way conversation
Talk To Me please
Talk To Me
Talk To Me
show me where you're coming from
don't close your eyes when my heart opens
Talk To Me please
Talk - Talk To Me
i've should've wakened you, i should've said i'm hurtin'
instead of shaking when i'm feeling so uncertain
i should've locked the door, i should've shut the window
instead of staying up and crying on my pillow
if you sense anticipation
show me where it's coming from
this is a one-way conversation
Talk To Me - Talk
will you Talk To Me ?
Talk To Me
show me where you're coming from
this is a one-way conversation
Talk To Me - Talk To
Talk To Me
show me where you're coming from
don't close your eyes when my heart opens
Talk To Me - Talk
Like a rose
I return to the garden
I suppose...
You're bought to be sold
Even though my body's cold
Even though my body's cold
Ain't prepared to be re-souled
Don't you dare because my body's cold
It's just like a toy soldier trying to turn a new leaf over
Two plus two don't always make a four-leaf clover (I...)
Don't wanna leave and I suggest we better talk it over
(Over)
CHORUS
(Talk It Over)
Talk It Over (turn a new leaf over)
Oh i think we better Talk It Over
(Talk me over)
Turn me over (turn my body over)
Once you've traveled on the road to China
Leaving all your worldly goods behind ya
Wise man will be waiting to remind ya
And the truth will surely blind ya...
It's just like a toy soldier trying to turn a new leaf over
Two plus two don't always make a four-leaf clover (I...)
Don't wanna leave and I suggest we better talk it over
And I think we better talk it over!
CHORUS
(Talk It Over)
Talk It Over (turn a new leaf over)
Oh i think we better Talk It Over
(Talk me over)
Turn me over (turn my body over)
You coulda struck me dead when someone said
You coulda struck me dead when someone said
A stream-lined rail and my claim to fame
Advances further from youth but closer to my aim
Season to season
Sunshine and rain
It keeps me to wander
Like a gambler in the game
I will take you back in my arms
The city's slick box office craze
Flood the deserted galleries deep inside my brain
Marooned by lover
Sweet serenade
Haunting this flight by night
Onto a foreign stage
And, Talisman won't you hold my hand
Come to me and tell me again (and he said...)
CHORUS
You press on
Keep right on
Talisman
Come right back into my arms to stay
You press on
Keep right on
Talisman
Come right back into my arms to stay
Lost and found lovers populate this ride
Creating a fiction that I can't deny
And it's free in my mind
To congregate in harmony
That this someone somewhere
Perfectly alone
For the lady in waiting
And it's just another day
In the game of separating
It's a quarter after midnight
And I'm half-past-out-of reason
So here I go again... here I go again
Coming around for more
CHORUS
You know that I'm Still In Love with you
And I'm coming around for more
You know that I'm Still In Love with you
And I'm coming around for more
You know that I'm Still In Love with you
Just like the way it used to be
Picture us alone
And it don't take much to please me
If you promise not to tell
We could take it nice and easy
It's a quarter after midnight
And I'm half-past-out-of reason
So here I go again... here I go again
Coming around for more
CHORUS
Don'tcha know that I'm Still In Love with you
And I'm coming around for more
You know that I'm Still In Love with you
And I'm coming around for more
You know that I'm Still In Love with you
Just like the way it used to be
BRIDGE
It's been so long
We'll have a rendezvous...
I'll be alone with you until the feeling starts to rise
Still in love
And when the lights are low...
Chaos in mission control
I'm being followed wherever I go
Somebody's wearing my clothes
My mirror image is starting to show
I've been in and out
Had my turnabouts
Baiting the hook that broke on...
On neutral ground
CHORUS
I'm the leader of the two-track
I'm going through Stereo Madness
I'm not a mono-maniac
Had enough of this Stereo Madness
And someone lives on the fringe
And one who's left has come back again
Who thinks I'm taming the shrew
When I'm involved in a dual rendezvous?
I've been up and down
Had my turnarounds
Wasting advice to fuse
A few of us
CHORUS
i'm the leader of the two-track
I'm going through Stereo Madness
I'm not a mono-maniac
Wouldn't it be nice
If we could be more than just friends?
Discovering ways
To spend our evenings and days
Gettin' to know each other well
It would be so nice
To have you wake me in the morning
We'd float on silvery streams
Creating beautiful dreams
Inside our ivory tower
We shouldn't waste a night like this
Worrying what tomorrow will bring...
CHORUS
So forget about the rest
Forget about the rest
Stay With Me
Let's forget about the rest,
Baby baby,
Stay With Me
We are worlds apart
From a lifetime together
But, we could suppose
That while the curtains are closed
We'd share a timeless ecstasy
If we should lose a night like this
We will always wonder what might have been
CHORUS
So forget about the rest
Forget about the rest
Stay With Me
Let's forget about the rest,
Baby baby,
Stay With Me
BRIDGE
If I could have you here 'til the morning
Catching my breath... to try once again
Please let go of that feeling
You don't have to fear, no you don't have to bend
Honest to God... I'm not stealing
I'm feeling so low, I need to break the fall
It's tearing me apart that you're leaving
Once more for the road, oh how long can I go
Before I start... to believe in?
('cause I know)
CHORUS
I don't ever wanna Stand In Your Way
Don't wanna get between you and your heaven
I don't ever want to Stand In Your Way
If my love is too strong then you must go
Cashing in my chips again, ahh...ahh... it's such a shame
And Laughter holds the power over Silence
The tear that I touch, like the dew on the dove
It makes me feel... feel like dying
('cause i know)
CHORUS
I don't ever wanna Stand In Your Way
Don't wanna get between you and your heaven
I don't ever want to Stand In Your Way
She could've been a clerk
Or settled as a ticket taker
With aces in her hand
She threw in with a music maker
Well she's not the girl
That she used to be
'Cause she's running from
Sterile sanctity
And it's pleasure please
That's really got the hook on you, baby
CHORUS
Snow White's under the lights
And I doubt if she's home tonight
Snow White's doing her thing
And I doubt if she's home tonight
She could've made the grade
Graduated as a good home maker
Jumped in for the ride
Now she travels where the music takes her
Well she suffers from
Such an urgent need
She'll never resurrect
What she used to be
And it's pleasure please
That's really got the hook on you, baby
CHORUS
Snow White's under the lights
And I doubt if she's home tonight
Snow White's doing her thing
And I doubt if she's home tonight
Ohhh...
BRIDGE
Snow White
Oh baby
Well maybe
You ain't quite
The lady-
In-waiting
To follow
To fall in line
Send back the message
Open the taxi door
Stand away from the window
Think that it's getting cold
You're always leading her in and out
You start but you never begin somehow
And oh
CHORUS
She Wants To Know
Where she stands
She Wants To Know
Now it's in your hands 'cause
She Wants To Know
Sealing the letter
She's drinking yesterday's wine
It makes her feel better
Makes her forget the time
You're always leading her in and out
You start but you never begin somehow
CHORUS
She Wants To Know
Where she stands
She Wants To Know
Now it's in your hands 'cause
She Wants To Know
You're always bringing her up and down
She pretends it's you
When she's giving him her mouth,
Her words, her tenderness
She pretends it's you
Who's holding her and showing her compassion
When he wants her nakedness
She Pretends...
You're sharing secrets with her
Never holding back the truth
She Pretends...
You're stealing moments together
Arm in arm with you when she's with him
She pretends you're laughing and crying together
Swimming in waves of endless pleasure
She pretends you're touching her face with yours
When he's turning in his sleep
She makes-believe she can hear your voice
Telling her you understand everything that she's feeling
When he doesn't say a word
She believes you understand her more than he ever will
Even though you're barely friends
Oh-oh-oh
CHORUS
No, she just can't get it right
No matter how hard she try
No matter what she do
She still pretends it's you
She was one of your disciples long before you drew her in
Worshipped the safety of your embrace
There are pagan gods and demagogues and ordinary men
You sing to her, and Romance is your name, your name
Never worries about, never harbours a doubt
You're the fabric that she clings to
Wrap her up in binding gravity
Like an alienated lover who's been robbing herself blind
Pretending she's a thief
But the only thing she steals is time
She's gonna take it in her hands (She pretends...)
She's gonna spend it all on you (She pretends...)
Until she's broke without a moment left to spare
She's building up immunities
Building up immunities
And that's all she's ever done, ever done
Oh-oh-oh
CHORUS
No, she just can't get it right
No matter how hard she try
No matter what she do
She still pretends it's you
No matter how hard she try
No matter what she do
No, she just can't get it right
'Cause she still pretends it's you
CHORUS TAG:
She Pretends... and
Romance is your name
She Pretends... and
Behind the veil, skin as pale as a virgin
fear valvet red, drapes the bed like a curtain
mix the elixir she drinks from her vial
give her the river that soothes her denial
--what have i got to do with it?--
--what have i got to do with it?--
CHORUS
far from the world that she's in
away from all she resents
if she forgives herself, depends
on Sleeping Beauty's Last Revenge.
how long has she been sleeping?
beauty's only skin-deep
if she forgives herself depends
on Sleeping Beauty's Last Revenge.
hanging my head on her bed, i am waiting
i stand on guard for her heart, yet she hates me
i steal the kiss right from her lips
stealing kisses from her lips
i steal them softly while she's sleeping
i feel the fault - all i can feel
i taste the salt - it tastes so real
oh, i can taste it when she's weeping
--what have i got to do with it?--
--what have i got to do with it?--
REPEAT CHORUS

in every shadow there's a
deeper reason searching for a seam
in every nightmare there's
a darker meaning waiting for a dream
if i could take you from this
corner, if i could shake you from this spell
the cold would seem a little
warmer, heaven knows it must be hell
for you to stand in frozen
silence, while i dance over your grave
you never reached out through
the violets, ever asking to be saved
and if winter could meet
summer, could they tell each other apart?
what's life worth without a
"Bet she's a secret admirer of Lady Godiva
She'd strip at the flip of a hat"
"You know they cancelled her charge account
Whaddya think of that?"
She felt the alienation from her friends and relations
So close yet remote just the same
It seems she gives them her money
But they have trouble remembering her name
CHORUS
She never worries about all the time spent alone on her
Princess Telephone
She never worries about, never harbours a doubt on her
Princess Telephone
She never worries - and that worries me!
Princess Telephone
"Well have you heard about Debbie and Mr. McKenzie...
They're involved in a secret affair"
"...It seems they borrowed their neighbours convertible
'Cause it was there!"
Hold the line operator
'Cause the message you gave her
Belongs to a party unknown
She's been insanely affected since you disconnected the phone
CHORUS
She never worries about all the time spent alone on her
Princess Telephone
She never worries about, never harbours a doubt on her
Princess Telephone
She never worries - and that worries me!
Princess Telephone
BRIDGE
You know she has a princess telephone
She sits inside her bedroom all alone
She dreams about her secret love affair
He's triggered by the rise
Of their suburban eyes
He likes to stroke the curls
Of pretty baby girls
And he will never make it on the hit parade
Oh no...
Behind the counter selling health and beauty aids
In the name of:
CHORUS
Pretty Girls, Pretty Girls
Look good on you
Pretty Girls, Pretty Girls
Look good on you
He reserves the luxury
Of feline company
Femme fatale is all he needs
To measure his heroic deeds
Another trying day behind the canopy (madonna!)
He's nurtured by a planned well-tanned philosophy
For the love of:
CHORUS
Pretty Girls, Pretty Girls
Look good on you
Pretty Girls, Pretty Girls
Look good on you
BRIDGE
And he will never make it on the hit parade
Oh no...
Behind the counter selling health and beauty aids
In the name of:
Get away, I'm warning you, while she undresses behind the door
Stop staring at her like a man who's never seen a whore before
She was sixteen when Mother left her at the station
Crying tears of silent indignation
CHORUS
Then he looked at her with those eyes
It was enough to make a man cry
She knew it in an instance
He took the Path Of Least Resistance
Taught the art of surfacing with 99-proof ink
At an early age she learned it doesn't matter what she think
Lock the door, strip away her virtue
You're a bastard, all she wants to do is hurt you
CHORUS
Then you look at her with those eyes
It was enough to make a man cry
She knew it in an instance
Took the Path Of Least Resistance
What's a little girl to do,
she receives a visit in the dark
No imminent sign of danger,
but the familiar hand has left it's mark
Lock the door, lock the door!
Kind words turn dirty
"Promise not to say a word!"
(Daddy please don't hurt me)
CHORUS
Then he looked at her with those eyes
It was enough to make a man cry
And he knew it in an instance
I hear your voice
obsessing
still in my view
obsessing
lost in my world
i can't be
without you
posessing
i gotta keep him outta my head
i gotta keep him outta my head
CHORUS
i wanna be alone with you
the sound of everyting that's true
i wanna be alone with you
eyes like a child
noon at night
will be here soon
noon at night
i'll lock the door
i'll be safe
without you
i'll be safe
i gotta keep him outta my head
i gotta keep him outta my head
CHORUS
i wanna be alone with you
the sound of everything that's true
i'll hold you hostage in my room
i gotta be alone with you...
BRIDGE
o L'il boy across the street
you are the one i'd like to eat
i'd like to taste you o so sweet
o L'il boy across the street
CHORUS
i'm like a mirror watching you
(i wanna be alone with you)
just like a knot you can't undo
(i gotta be alone with you)
it's like the silence in my room
(the sound of everything that's true)
i gotta be alone with you
I don't want to run your life
Or try to tell you what to do
Oh but babe it seems I never ever get enough of you
My fortune teller tells me you're the kind of man that I should try to lose
What she don't know is no man's ever turned me on the way you do
CHORUS
C'mon baby
Make It Last
C'mon baby
Make It Last
You call me on the phone
Whisper all the words I love to hear
Then you come around my door
Saying you only got one hour to spare
My crystal ball is spinning
Telling me I'm gonna get a good man soon
But right now honey ain't no man that turns me on
The way you do
CHORUS
C'mon baby
Make It Last
C'mon baby
Make It Last
BRIDGE
Uh-huh let's dance the night away
Oh if only you would try to stay
Uh-huh you're such a busy man
And I'm trying to do the best I can
So stay a little longer just a little longer
I heard that love has passed you by
Leaving your heart by the wayside
What will it take to win back your love?
You... you've done more time than you deserve
Fantasy love is so absurd
Basting your pride so selfishly
And will I ever see you?
CHORUS
Lost Without Your Love
Lost Without Your Love
How was I supposed to know
That you've been living a lie?
(Repeat)
Look... look at yourself and rearrange
It's easy to feel a change
Open your eyes and reveal your disguise
I... I heard that love has passed you by
It's left you alone... well so am I!
Can I be the one you run to for love
And will I ever see you?
CHORUS
Lost Without Your Love
Lost Without Your Love
How was I supposed to know
That you've been living a lie?
BRIDGE
Caught you blind
Will I ever see you?
When you came into my life
I let millions of people and people go by
When you came into my life
I let millions of people and people go by
I took my chances up on the wire
Some people like to play with fire
When you're stoppin' at the corner of the bar room house
You neve seem to pay attention to the sings that I say
Hey hey
Why don't you
CHORUS
Look At Me
Before the curtains come down, you better
Look At Me
I'm 'bout to slide underground
Rescue me
Put out the fuse just in time
Rescue me
Walking a very fine line
You tied me in a mood in a nothing-state-of-mind
While millions of people and people go by
(Commit the perfect crime) then you're serving out your time
While millions of people and people go by
I lost my money on a sure thing
Pie in the sky was not the recipe
When you're stoppin' at the corner of the bar room house
You never seem to pay attention to the things that I say
Hey hey
Why don't you
CHORUS
Look At Me
Before the curtains come down, you better
Look At Me
I'm about to slide underground
Rescue me
Put out the fuse just in time
Rescue me
sensitive word
a catch in your voice
slow temper rise
above the noise
my ear to the wall
i hear you laugh
nobody hears
the other half
the other half
i know Intimate Secrets
something about you
i know Intimate Secrets
i know Intimate Secrets
something about you
all your Intimate Secrets
everything spins
when you close your eyes
nobody ever told you
otherwise
how can i watch
your precious world
scatter like a broken
string of pearls
i know Intimate Secrets
something about you
i know Intimate Secrets
i know Intimate Secrets
something about you
all your Intimate Secrets
do you see through the wall that divides us ?
who hears from behind theshelter that hides us ?
two closed doors and the floor below me
you walk by and just the same you don't even know me
i know Intimate Secrets
something about you
all your Intimate Secrets
i know Intimate Secrets
something about you
you're impatient
i get bored when there's no
conversation - i
lose desire 'cause you're
not what you appear to be
not what you appear to be
imperfection
has left no trace upon you
your reflection
you depend upon it
you might be beautiful but what's behind it ?
you have a pretty face but what are you hiding ?
i'd rather stare at the stains on my window than look into those
Immaculate Eyes
i'd rather gaze at the dust on my pillow than look into those
Immaculate Eyes
invitation
signals you are sending
hesitation
like a neverending
vertigo inside of me
vertigo
no doubt i could
look at you for hours
but it's no good when
good looks overpower
you might be beautiful but what's behind it ?
you have a pretty face but what are you hiding ?
i'd rather stare at the stains on my window than look into those
Immaculate Eyes
i'd rather gaze at the dust on my pillow than look into those
Immaculate Eyes
if there's more to you than meets-the-eye
why, can't i find it ?
you laugh sweetly
when i ask you if your
beauty's skin-deep
i'd rather gaze at the dust on my pillow than look into those eyes
your Immaculate Eyes Immaculate Eyes your Immaculate Eyes Immaculate
swing your partner to the left and right
spin the circle
through the dead of night
lose yourself when you close your eyes
not everybody gonna fall in line
leave a little something to your Imagination
even though you can't see through the writing
leave a little something to your Imagination
even though you can't see through the writing
move together when the voices call
pray for mercy till you stand or fall
love is easy when you give and take
c'mon c'mon for everyone's sake
leave a little something to your Imagination
even though you can't see through the writing
leave a little something to your Imagination
even though you can't see through the writing
sons and daughters
like walking on water
no hesitation
for your Imagination
leave a little something to your Imagination
even though you can't see through the writing
leave a little something to your Imagination
even though you can't see through the writing
leave a little something to your Imagination
move to the left
move to the right
close your eyes
no compromise
I'd buy a Martoni Marquis
Ride San Fernando Valley
I know I could in Hollywood
Hotdamn the L.A. Freeway
Wear mink from Montego Bay
I know I could in Hollywood
Wanna toot-toot la
In a single's bar
Gonna iron out my kinks
Play Matahara here
And the Sahara there
Won't you spin me for a drink?
You know what really blew my mind
Is that I could not be denied
That's when I began to emancipate
CHORUS
In Hollywood, Holly-Hollywood
Hollywood, Holly-Hollywood
I'd do it good
In Hollywood
"Hello Darling...
This is Zsa Zsa talking to you out there"
You know I really could have cried
When Mama said "Be good... Goodbye!"
I hardly could in Hollywood
Wanna deja vu
With a working crew
Well if you like it do it twice
I hit the hit parade
And start to generate
Live a social paradise
And when my time is up
I'm gonna fill my cup
Then I'll drown myself in sweet whiskey fizz
CHORUS
In Hollywood, Holly-Hollywood
Hollywood, Holly-Hollywood
I'd do it good
Let's bury the hatchet
let's bury it deep and do what it takes
light a wet book of matches
let's run for our lives cause our lies are at stake
let's blow this dump
deliver up the daughter
dare her to jump
let's chain up the metal
put down your foot to the pedal
well then, it's all been settled:
CHORUS
damn these Heavy Boots
pull out these roots
cause these boots are heavy
damn these Heavy Boots
kick off these shoes
cause these boots are heavy
slam these heavy boots
right into these roots
cause these boots are heavy
so let's damn Heavy Boots
damn these Heavy Boots
fist in a deadlock
it rubbed me so wrong, the wrong way like ash
ego frisked from a headlock
scruples as raw, as raw as cold cash
dig in the dirt, dig in my heels
kick it where it hurts, know how it feels
ya gotta shave the personna,
hey baby slave what you wanna
but unshackle your feet, and
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
let's blur the intentions
and smudge what it stands for
reserve the pretentions
for those who judge what we dance for
let's get pissed
and buck the system
get our psyche's kissed
while our flesh is twistin
it's not very often this army recruits
She turned
A twisted smile
I felt her envy
And then suddenly she turned and bared her teeth in distaste
And I said, "what would you know... how could you ever know?"
His mouth was a tight cruel line
I recognized it's implications:
He had a snapshot... it was a photo of us
We were Guilty By Association
CHORUS
With one easy stroke...
My entire world was zero
What - do you mean - by that?
A series of events strung together...
A matter of chance becomes a matter-of-fact... fact
CHORUS
With one easy stroke... one slight gesture
My entire world was zero
With one easy stroke... one light gesture
My entire world was zero
TAG CHORUS:
His mouth
A twisted smile
I recognized it's implications
A snapshot
Like the times that i swore
like the wine that i poured
like a blinding fact
you can't ignore
like the motion
that delivers you forward
'til you can't go back
not anymore
can't dive into an ocean
and not leave the ground
can't trade in your devotion
for what you haven't found
can't go beyond the limit without falling down
can't go beyond the limit without falling down
and it's not what i say
it's a lot what i do
'cause you can't go back
not on you word
it's the moment
when you're riding on fear
that you can't look back
you live and learn
can't start at the beginning
when you're in-between
can't know if where you're going's
where you haven't been
can't give away the centre
without spinnin' 'round
can't go beyond the limit
without falling down
like the signs that i feared
and the lines in the mirror
like a haunting ghost
that will return
like the moment
when it's suddenly all clear
what i needed most
to live and learn
what a lovely day it is for falling down
(mmm..what a lovely day it is for f-f-allin')
what a lovely day it is for falling down
(mmm..what a lovely day it is for f-f-allin')
can't go beyond the limit without falling down
can't go beyond the limit without falling down
can't ruise below the surface
what's not above the skin
can't lose the war on purpose
and not breathe to win
you can't throw away the minutes
you can't go beyond the limit
you can't tell the tale to live it ......
.....without fallin down
and it's not what i say
it's a lot what i do
what a lovely day for falling down
what a lovely day it is for falling down
At the time - couldn't have known it
When we lifted off into this star-lit sea
I'd be
Waiting quite alone up here
In this empty gallery
Earth control, easily wasted
And it takes a lot to breathe the atmosphere
Up here...
Sitting out my life in space
In this lonely solar sea
CHORUS
And I've been lost and found so many times before
And tea and sympathy are not for me
Vanity's
Telling me, "You've made it, honey!"
And the price you pay for company has gone sky-high
But up here, I got Everything Money Can Buy
My dear, I got Everything Money Can Buy
Lost again... wouldn't you know it
And I could've been found like Cinderella's shoe
By you...
Such a prized discovery
In this glitter galaxy
CHORUS
And I've been lost and found so many times before
And tea and sympathy are not for me
Vanity's
Telling me, "You've made it, honey!"
And the price you pay for company has gone sky-high
But--up here, I got Everything Money Can Buy
My dear, I got Everything money Can Buy
Ahh, you know... I got Everything Money Can Buy
Everything
Everything
Everything
I follow
head over heels
taunting me like a messiah
says, "do you believe in me?"
i see you
call out for me
the line between Truth and Desire
crumbles so easily
i count the seconds
and the minutes seem like hours to me
i count to seven
and the heat turns up another degree
i count eLeVeN for the
reasons why it happened to me so easily
i count eLeVeN
eLeVeN
"free me", she says, "heal me"
eLeVeN
i count eLeVeN when
you offer me the length of your hand
i count eLeVeN when you
caution me to strengthen my stand
i count eLeVeN when you
say that you're an innocent man--
oh spare me--baby--spare me
ah did you ever
stop to think about the need of a friend
and go easy on me, easy?!
i count eLeVeN when
my patience hits a quarter to three
i count eLeVeN
in the name of what's important to me
i count eLeVeN
strikes for you, for not believing in me
there ain't no heaven
when a promise doesn't mean anything
if all's forgiven
i count eLeVeN--
i count eLeVeN
don't save my soul
don't raise my hope
then take it away
don't make me whole
don't saveth my soul
just let me go
to rise up from the sleep i'm deep in
to walk out from
the dream i breathed in....home....home
one....two the colour of blue
lightening strikes in a moment of truth
three....four the night that i swore
i got nothing to prove -- you got nothin--no more
and if all's forgiven i count eLeVeN
thou shall not take a woman in vain
thou shall not take another woman
thou shall not put a promise to shame
thou shall not make a fool of no one
i count eLeVeN
thou shall not take a woman in vain
thou shall not take another woman
thou shall not shape a man into clay
thou shall not go on unforgiven
(i gotta count)
one....two the colour of blue
lightening strikes in a moment of truth
(and then i go)
three....four the night that i swore
i got nothing to prove -- you got nothin no more
six....seven is almost eLeVeN
you broke a word not easily given
eLeVeN
Been caught in the middle
been looking out for something
it i try just a little
it'd be purely for nothin
you know you better believe me -
- believe me
as long as i'm breathing
this girl ain't goin down
ain't gonna go easy easy
nobody's geting out
don't wanna go easy easy
i been flying above it
you want to try to forget your name
ya been looking outside your window,
no - when, you say no, (well)
you can't stop and i don't -
really don't - remember the way
you know that i don't need it--
-- need it
as long as i'm breathing
this bitch ain't goin down
let me down slow
let me down sweet
but go easy easy
nobody's getting out
let me down slow
let me down sweet
just go easy easy
i could break this hope
i could shake this rope
i could take a hold of
the wheel or... let it go
easy easy
ah let me down slow
let me down sweet but go
easy easy
nobody's gettin out
it's not what you know
know what i mean
it's so easy easy
ah it's not what you know
know what i mean it's so
lemme down easy,
oh as long as i'm breathin
easy - believe me - easy
The train is in the distance
What a way to go
Should have had a happy end
Like the storybook has told
Aching limbs that cling at night
To a faded song
Cultivate my thoughts again
It's cold to dream alone
CHORUS
Dreams Are For Lovers
Dreams are for fools
Wish I could dream again but right now, right now
Dreams Are For Lovers
Dreams Are For Fools...
I wish that I could dream again
Misty-eyed reflection
Blur the smiling moon
Daddy holds his silence
My mother leaves the room
Distant voices question
Why the song-bird does not sing
Who will be the one to tell them
That some fool has clipped her wings?
CHORUS
Dreams Are For Lovers
Dreams are for fools
Wish I could dream again but right now, right now
Dreams Are For Lovers
Dreams Are For Fools...
I wish that I could dream again
BRIDGE
Living in dreams is such a false paradise
But visiting make-believe can be so damn nice
Where did all the dreaming go?
I need to dream again
CHORUS
You can't depend on miracles to satisfy your needs
And if your searching for the girl-next-door
You're looking for
A different breed
But for you
I would do anything
Yes for you
I would do anything
And it may surprise you, I advise you
Come with me the night is young
CHORUS
So, Is There Anything I Can Do?
Anything for you
Is There Anything I Can Do to make you better?
If you zero in down close to me
I'll be stroking your security
And if it's true that I'm in overtime
You'll never be
Relying on me
But for you
I would do anything
Yes for you
I would do anything
And it may surprise you, I advise you
Come with me the night is young
CHORUS
So, Is There Anything I Can Do?
Anything for you
Is There Anything I Can Do to make you better?

Fools paradise
It's a fools paradise
"Did you say you're going my way?"
Said the Doctor in a sly way
Pull the shade draw the blind
Do you think he has a dirty mind?
"Your prescription needs refilling"
And the patient's always willing
Pull the shade draw the blind
'Cause no one has to find
What happens in the night
He keeps them out of sight
Until the other lights
Go out
CHORUS
Please say goodnight (to Dr. Noble)
Please say goodnight (such a silly question)
Say please tonight (don't be bloody awful!)
Please say goodnight (ridiculous suggestion!)
Don't be afraid (of Dr. Noble)
Don't be alone with the Doctor...
Ouch!
Social institution
To the local population
Pull the shade draw the blind
You'll never guess what you're gonna find!
Member of the federation
With a solid reputation
Pull the shade draw the blind
And no one ever minds
'Cause no one ever knows
Just where the Dr. goes...
He's not where he's supposed to be
CHORUS
Please say goodnight (to Dr. Noble)
Please say goodnight (such a silly question)
Say please tonight (don't be bloody awful!)
Please say goodnight (ridiculous suggestion!)
Don't be afraid (of Dr. Noble)
Don't be alone with the Doctor...
She got married when the time was right
Virgin on her wedding night
She wasn't one for a storybook romance
But he's king of the castle no questions asked
CHORUS
Devious Nature
No chance to grow
He had one intention
She had no control
Devious Nature
She was his to own
He had no intention
Of letting go
He was never too emotional
Real men don't cry at all
Ornaments adorn her face
Glamour is a woman's place
CHORUS
Devious Nature
They were always told
Not to break the silence
Not to break the mold
Devious Nature
Can be dangerous
When there is no balance
Someone's powerless
BRIDGE
"I believed we'd never change", she said
"Now we're rivals while we play pretend"
Little girls are delicate
Brush up on their etiquette
Giggle and play hard-to-get
Little boys are tough as bricks
They brush up on their politics
Become heroes, become mavericks
CHORUS
Devious Nature
They were always told
Not to break the silence
Not to break the mold
She was a virgin on her wedding night
She got married when the time was right
You know real men,
Real men don't cry at all
You might be dumber than i really care to think
you might be clever but you've barely reached the brink
and if you're not too careful what you think about
you won't think about tommorow
i guess it's all if you swim or you sink
you might be headed for a
HOLE
a DEEP DARK HOLE
i think your spinning into something you can't control
a DEEP DARK HOLE
a pocket
of penitence wall-papered to your floor
an arsenal of
evidence thumb-tacked to your back door
and there's
a razor-edge benevolence sliced like
a zig-zag through your core
left from the backlash of your bloody war
i think you're headed for a
HOLE
a DEEP DARK HOLE
i think you're
over your head way beyond your control
a DEEP DARK HOLE
and all the darkness you create for me might be...
all the darkness you create for me might be...
of all the righteous fools i'd hate to be...
it's likely
it might be
it might be....
and if Justice's hand prevails
well then you might tip the scales
if all else---all else fails
well then---you might be,
you might be, you might be,
you might be headed for a....

Like you won't believe it, well
I'm yearnin'...
You wouldn't find me hard to please
Won't you join me? well...
Satisfy the need in me
Wanna party down
Gonna funk around
'Til we tear it all apart
Even if it takes all night
