Everybody looks so spaced out there Busy bowing to the priests of noise Turn it up and make it drown out the warning Bad news for the girls and boys Everybody looks so romantic Acting like it's nothing at all Looking for Number One Working for the week and Living to the beat [Chorus:] Dance this world away Dance this world away Dance this world away Dance this world away I see people all dressed like Nero Fiddling while Rome burns in strife Personal responsibility zero, we've lost that rhythm of life There's a shadow on our bright horizon It won't be manna falling out of the sky The hard rain hits everyone Working for the week and Living to the beat [Chorus] Somewhere there is a ship that's sinking Why do I think that nobody knows Looking out for Number One Working through the week and Dancing to the back beat [Chorus] |

I know your name I told you mine We've stopped and passed the time of day You work in town I work at night That gives us six until seven to work this out If I seem a little strange It's just the state of the heart I'm waiting here for you In the state I'm in You are the moon I am the sea You pull me in and gaze on down at me I was alone I thought I was immune The door can still be open wide If I feel a little strange It's just the state of the heart I'm waiting here for you In the state I'm in It's just the state of the heart I wait in the dark I the state I'm in We get closer and closer To falling out or falling in I go over and over But I can't change the state This heart is in If I seem a little strange It's just the state of the heart I'm waiting here for you In the state I'm in It's just the state of the heart You know I wait in the dark In the state I'm in It 's the state of the heart The state of the heart, oh The state of the heart The state of the heart, oh |

I think that somewhere along the line (And it's said, all things return to you in time) I must have finally opened up to your love Though I was building a wall at heaven's gate (Everything comes to those who wait) You must have found a secret path into my soul And now you're part of my life I can't believe that this is mine Every light has its time to shine Is it the power of love Is it the power of love Is this the tao of love I feel the power of love Caught up in the famous paper chase (in you eyes, I saw how I never fell from grace) And I heard the battle's not always To the strong (The race is not always to the fleet) And the one who seeks to pluck the stars Will miss the jewels at his feet Blinded by momentary power We almost had the final hour I'll never know what caused the change in me Was it the power of love Is it the power of love Is this the tao of love I feel the power of love Is it the power of love Is it the power of love Is this the tao of love I feel the power of love And I thought anything for the cause is worth the price (Losing you was the sharp edge of the knife) Now no more fear, the way is clear I know you are the power in my life So better late than never 'cause this heart is yours forever I'll never know what caused the change in me Was it the power of love Is it the power of love Is this the tao of love I feel the power of love Is it the power of love Is it the power of love Is this the tao of love I feel the power of love I think that somewhere along the line (And it's said all |

Keep on, keep on, whispering in the night There's no problem if it's not in sight In the face of annihilation We still plan futures for the children Keep on whispering in the night People talk but it's just "cocktail chatter" What we say, anyway, doesn't really matter Everybody, time is tight We're walking on the edge Of the long black night From the left and from the right They're walking on the edge Of the long black night And waiting on the big bang Wake up, wake up, yes this is your life too The light of spirit also burns in you In the face of extermination We still plan future for the children Get up, yes this is your life too We talk and talk and shake our heads in wonder Nothing that we can do Can stop us from going under Everybody, time is tight We're walking on the edge Of the long black night From the left and from the right They're walking on the edge Of the long black night And waiting on the big bang I sit here and contemplate my future And all the songs that we all sing Don't really do a thing Everybody, time is tight We're walking on the edge Of the long black night From the left and from the right They're walking on the edge Of the long black night And waiting on the big bang |

I got so many thoughts jumping out of my head And I can't sit still I'm thinking about the universe I'm looking at life on earth I can't shut the camera shutter I stare at the clock, and the years slip away And I stay confused I'm dreaming about la raison d'etre I'm frightened by the toxic threat I can't stop the motor running People saying I should learn some self-control But I just want to exorcise my soul And walk like a man, walk like a man I still feel like a boy And you feel like a girl in my hand I'm gonna walk like a man, walk like a man I'm still waiting on the revelation Here in never-never land I got so many things jumpin' out of my brain And I feel so strange I'm crazy about the car I drive While people struggle just to stay alive I can't put the two together I stare in the bathroom mirror at my face God, I look so pale Lines crawl across my face I'm runnin in the human race, yeah Me first, who am I kidding Where is this peace that comes with age Someone show me to my cage Where I can walk like a man, walk like a man I still feel like a boy And you feel like a girl in my hand I'm gonna walk like a man, walk like a man I'm still waiting on the revelation Here in never-never land (When it finally hits me then) (And only then, I'll understand) Waiting for the revolution here In never-never land Where is this peace that comes with age Will somebody take me to the stage Where I can walk like a man, walk like a man Walk, walk like a man Walk like a man Walk like a man Walk like a man-ac |

The light of spirit burns in everyone The diamond's buried deep-surrender When the heart is ready the teacher will come Nothing remains without change-surrender The tao of heaven shines in every eye The diamond's buried deep-surrender It's a gateless gate for those who never try Nothing remains without change-surrender The light of spirit burns in everyone The diamonds buried deep-surrender When the heart is ready the teacher will come Nothing remains without change-surrender The tao of heaven shines in every eye The diamond's buried deep-surrender It's a gateless gate for those who never try |

We don't talk much We don't make live like we used to And I stay guarded I've got walls and triggers I never thought I had And so do you But this is love And that's the way we seem content to play it I touch your clothes when you're e gone I let your scent wash over me You cry at night and you wish just like a child That we were how we used to be There's' a stranger in the house In the house There's a stranger in the house In the house There's 's a stranger in the house In the house And she looks like somebody from a lifetime ago I stonewall you, you stonewall me But we both know that Hiding deep inside us Lives the love that we try hard to lose And never will But this is war And that's the way we seem content to fight it I get so angry and confused 'cause I want out but I want you You can't decide between moving out Or moving in You don't know what to do With a stranger in the house In the house There's a stranger in the house In the house There's a stranger in the house In the house And she looks like you And he looks like me Is this the same girl That I fought so hard to win And now I fight to lose her Now I feel that it's just like skin to skin And nerve to nerve Strung out like wire Is that the way we are content to live We face off in anger In rooms once filled with love Looking for a chink in the armour Where we can stab the blade What are we thinking of There's a stranger in the house In the house There's a stranger in the house In the hou |

My father's chair's still standing there All alone since the long night Now it's three years on and I still feel He'll come home, we'll be alright So where's this healing time brings I was told the pain would ease But it still hurts like the first night That night my brother, my mother and I Were looking up at a distant star And wishing we could reach that far And back in the house And alone for the first time We told each other we cared We avoided my father's chair I watch my family, we hold on We are strong and we'll be alright The clock continues counting down, All the while And every child will share the long night But do the spirits meet again Why am I still so filled with doubt Is my soul everlasting And the far distant future When I knew you'd be gone Came too fast and stays too long Why do they leave the weak of spirit And take the strong But wherein the world turns sour And I get sick from the smell And I can't find no comfort there I climb into my father's chair |
