Her heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly quaking
The Tokyo's taxi's braking, it's screaming to a halt And there's nothing to hold on to when gravity betrays you And every kiss enslaves you-oo-oo She knows how hard her heart grows under the nuclear shadows She can't escape the feeling repeating in her head When after all the urges some kind of truth emerges We felt the deadly surges Discovering Japan--an --an Discovering Japan--an --an The GIs only use her, they only ram right through her Giving an eastern promise, that they could never keep Seeing a million miles, between their joke and smiles She heard their hard denials [don't pause] As the tears dropped sideways down her face, face I woke up talking in the tongue of a different race, race And as the flight touches down my watch says 8:02 But that's midnight to you, Midnight to you Midight to you I dreamed headlong collisions in jet lag panavisions I shouted sayonara it didn't mean goodbye But lovers turn to posers show up in film exposures Just like in travel brochures Discovering Japan Discovering Japan (x6 and fade) |

Did they tear it out, with talons of steel
And give you a shot, so that you wouldn't feel And washed it away, as if it wasn't real It's just a mistake, I won't have to face Don't give it a name, don't give it a place Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way It must have felt strange, to find me inside you I hadn't intended to stay If you want to keep it right, put it to sleep at night Squeeze it until it could say You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You decide what's wrong Well I ain't gonna cry, I'm gonna rejoice And shout myself dry, and go see the boys They'll laugh when I say, I left it overseas Yeah babe I know it gets dark, down by Luna Park But everybody else, is squeezing out a spark That happened in the heat, somewhere in the dark, in the dark The doctor gets nervous, completing the service He's all rubber gloves and no head He fumbles the light switch, it's just another minor hitch Wishes to God he was dead But you can't be too strong You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You decide what's wrong Can't be too hard, too tough, too rough, too right, too wrong And you, can't be too strong Baby you can't be too strong... |

You have to do your best to come up to par,
from straight off the production line like a car, Till everything you put on is a put-on, and you don't know who's face you're gazing upon Could be anyone you're sending out there tonight, is it any wonder all the lights are too bright? And you need temporary beauty, and hope to God that it doesn't rain You need temporary beauty, even though it might be love in vain The world is full of little people like you They have to read a book to learn what to do They hang around in second hand stores for clothes And every kind of pressures steps on their toes Love doesn't fall out of a magazine You mustn't always believe what you see Ah-ah-ah temporary beauty, ah-ah-ah temporary beauty, Ah-ah-ah temporary beauty You might be the sweetest little girl in your heart But still the world ignores that and tears you apart You think of the parties you'll never attend You dream of someone who's more than a friend Love doesn't jump out of a magazine You mustn't always believe what you see And you need temporary beauty, and hope to God that it doesn't rain You need temporary beauty, even though it might be love, (3 times) |

Better listen to me, You better stay blind and you better not see
You think it feels alright but you don't have to lie awake all night Fumble with the money and fumble with the keys Somebody has to end up on his knees Go to a funeral dressed in pink Stop to love and not stop to think Big fat zero Big fat zero Big fat zero They all lose their cool They all see the money and they start to drool They all shuffle their feet They shuffle their cards and they turn up the heat They tell you Fumble with the money and fumble with the keys Somebody has to end up on his knees Go to a funeral dressed in pink Stop to love and not stop to think Big fat zero Big fat zero Big fat zero Big fat zero Big fat zero Big fat zero Big fat zero Big fat zero Big fat zero Big fat zero Big fat zero |

You're always kidding me something's happening but it isn't true
You're getting rid of me you know exactly what I'm trying to Oh baby I am drained of colour I can't go anywhere You just left me in another grey area You say you're loving me but it's nothing but a red rag You call this ecstasy but suddenly it's let the stone drag Oh baby I have just discovered I don't belong anywhere Your love left me in another grey area Another grey area When I start thinking can't stop sinking Everybody left me holding the baby Everything's the same no-one took the blame That's the colour of another grey area That's the colour of another grey area I can't follow it the information that is coming through I never swallow it the black feeling that is all blue Oh baby I've just discovered I can't go anywhere Your love left me in another grey area Yeah You left me in another grey area That's the colour of another grey area Another grey area Another grey area Another grey area That's the colour That's the colour |

I used to think that it all stopped happening
by the time you reached twenty one They said there's nothing like the first love you get boy They were wrong, oh so wrong, they hung on and hung on, to their dream, I know CHORUS Life gets better yeah When ever I'm in her arms Just to know I'm not the average fella I'm the one, I'm the one for her Well it's a shame what they do to these young kids Just encourage them to act like clowns And then they think that they don't have much longer Knocked up the first time she let em get down Put four walls around and then scream, but I know REPEAT CHORUS Life stretches before me an endless mystery And nothing can bore me, when she's with me I feel the heartbeat of the world in the hands of this girl But it takes so much time to, to finally see, see, see I get a thrill when I think how it really is Noone can ever take that away They try to put rubber bands around your heart But they're wrong, oh so wrong, they hung on and hung on, to their dream, but I know Life gets better yeah When ever I'm in her arms Just to know I'm not the average fella I'm the one, I'm the one for her Oooh Life gets better yeah, When ever I'm in her arms Just to know I'm not the average sucker, I'm the one, I'm the one for her Oooh Life gets better yeah, Oooh Life gets better yeah Oooh Life gets better yeah |
