Want to know a secret, most people are that bad
Compassion leads to many lies and trying to apply it will just drive you mad It's only destiny calling with the usual show Get out while you've got time, make up your heart and find the kind of folk who really love. You want to know how to tell them apart You want to know how to feel in your heart Too bad for you that they don't do a five day course in caring you could play the part You're still searching for the ones who were near You're still itching for that great panacea But first you got to be alone and think what kept your friends contented all those years. Something about their eyes I thought you couid tell by now Remote control, off and jump now Remote control, pull out the wires Remote control, off and jump now Remote control, pull out the wires.

She said, I've got to get away Be smart stay cool, hey Don't be that way I got to get away You know I love you But I really cannot stay I've booked a ticket on a plane And when she said it She was on the phone Call long distance Then she smiled and said I'm coming home She packed her bag And blew a kiss, it missed And gave the dog a pat And then she said She had to run... If you knew where to look She could bear contemplation Her assets ain't suffered Because of inflation Sex made a law Give here my best shot If I wasn't so hot There must have been some books that I could read How could I hope to have kept her Just a cheap lousy dime-a-day jewel-smith And my words don't impress I keep on ending lines like this With spend-thrift Disposable tubes That's when 'moon' rhymes with 'dunes' Seems to ruffle her conscience And give her the pay How else could I pay For those long months away With those so special people She said, will you promise to be strong I grabbed her hand and asked her Honey, there must be something wrong And she replied, well how can I live In such a light-weight song And then she said she had to run... Now I think she's in Cuba With a house on a bay With a great view But they'll have to remove her Coz she keeps on telling Fidel what to do I can just hear him say As she gets her own way And the tourists flock in "I've tried not to be Some petit bourgeoisie But I can't help but feel That the revolution's Gone right round the bend" I promise to be strong There must be something wrong Booked a ticket on a plane I'll be on my way Run... |

I just drove in to town today To sample the flesh pots And all the girls I talk to say "We need help at the hot spot" I said "Well I think I got the help you seek" Been deep-fishing all through the week And I've never been a radio freak So you can teach me the latest dancing, darling Come on, let's go where the night sky breaks We've got the noise at a 1000 watts Where the best vibrations make the building shake And everybody's dancing, dancing at the hot spot It's a wild fixation You just got to know The neon radiation Makes your body glow Well, people told me I'm a lazy dog Coz I dig to go cruising And I was riding high on a hog Until I saw what she was using I said hey Baby what do you need a needle for She said, it used to be illegal And now it's the law We are shooting atrophy Making damn sure Everyday since they started up a brand new war Let's go where the night sky breaks With your flame and your bear-skin rugs Where the mounting vibes make the building quake And everybody's burning, burning at the hot spot To help our creation Nobody wants to know The neutron radiation Makes your body glow I said man, I read about this in a magazine But I'm not prepared I can't stand what I'm seeing There's no fun on the disco scene And there's no future in America's dream Oh no, don't go where the night sky break Where the white sun rises at midnight And there's a heatwave on that makes the building shake Everybody's dying, dying at the hot spot It's a wild sensation You don't need to know The neon radiation Makes your body glow. |

If the days seem dark and sour Distance surrounds you Keep your head above the clouds Try to push up through Gone flying And the days are fun Leave the world behind Gone flying Head towards the sun We'll give you peace of mind Now you're sure you're on the up Take a hit on love We'll find a girl There ain't no doubt Fit you like a glove Gone flying And the days are fun Leave the world behind Gone flying Head towards the sun We'll give you peace of mind Take away your cares today Take away your strife Take away your thoughts of pain Take away your life Gone flying Leave the world behind It's the only way Gone flying Give you peace of mind You do what we say Gone flying Leave the world behind There wasn't so much fun Gone flying Take away your mind You'll burn up in the sun |

Along the wing you see the search-light beam Down below a trace of free-way stream A field of precious stones And you'll be next tonight Heading for touch-down Looking for a runway light From in the sky The citys at its best Down the hills to reach ocean's rest And as you watch the lights capes Relax and dream This is the future This is tomorrow's scheme We're coming in The runway flashes past This is it Now we're here at last We've tried to make this crossing So many times before See the people walking through heaven's door We're finally here It looks just fine Let's stroll the streets Side-walk sign Stand and wait And watch the cars As they smoke on Go by so fast They look just fine We'll cross at last The head lights flicker in our faces Try to eat synthetic meat Yours tastes just fine Same as mine If you complain It happens here Do what you say You'll be tonight's career I'll guarantee Hot compeny The red light flickers in their faces Roll up your sleeve Pass it round It's what you seek Don't feel down It's just fine To be with you Your place or mine I'll show you what to do And in the night You'll come on through Walking through heaven's door This is our dream Fulfilled at iast Now is the theme Forget the past Walking through heaven's door |

All your cares now they seem, oh, so far away All your fears I fear I once shared Now I know there's a future for all of us Not so long ago I was so scared. You seemed so sad, I could see through your twisted smile So unsure, always confused Pale blue eyes gazing down from your ivory tower Through the haze, all broken and bruised. Then out of the blue love came rushing in Out of the sky came the sun Out of left field came a lucky day Out of the blue, no more pain. I don't mind if it's only a passing craze Throwaway lines often rang true If I were you I would stay for a little while If you were me, would you walk out in style ? |
