I've been around
So far it seems Too bad the blues Blew my schemes Dynamite Such sweet surprise In southern heat Or northern skies Ain't that so Shadows cling Where shutters close Who can tell Heaven knows Why some can laugh And some can sing Stand in line Or get on down and swing Ain't that so Cross the street who's ringing bells? Peeling walls Of cheap hotels Neon flare A sudden chill And there you lie And time stands still Ain't that so |

Oh angel eyes
Am I deceived or did you sigh? For all I know you let your love light Shine on me Oh angel eyes You never close, who's got the time? Well I can wait until your love light Shine on me Oh angel eyes Seems to me you fill the skies I'm far below so let your love light Shine on me Oh angel eyes On the wing and opened wide Now matter now how how the moon Shine down on me [Repeat: x4] Angel, angel eyes ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By FERRY, MACKAY <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

Are you ready for bad blood?
I've got my share I'm sick of them sweet sweet nothings Oh! In my ear Ain't funny I'm the honey All your money just can't buy So baby you can cry cry cry Now the last laugh is mine You ready for hot stuff? Be prepared I'm sick of your cheap cheap hustle Oh! Don't cha dare Let us pray the lord have mercy On your mercenary mind 'Cause even if you cry cry cry Your heart out I won't be kind Are you ready for good times? Hard to bear! You're steppin' on holy ground Hold it there! I'm fading out your hologram A phoney toothpaste smile Remember when you cry cry cry Your heart out I did mine |

Yesterday - well it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight I said "it's love" you said "all right" It's funny how I could never cry Until tonight and you pass by Hand in hand with another guy You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying? Dance away the heartache Dance away the tears Dance away Loneliness is a crowded room Full of open hearts turned to stone All together all alone All at once my whole world had changed Now I'm in the dark, off the wall Let the strobe light up them all I close my eyes and dance till dawn Dance away Now I know I must walk the line Until I find an open door There was I - many times a fool I hope and pray, but not too much Out of reach is out of touch All the way is far enough Dance away |

I am for a life around the corner
That takes you by surprise That comes leaves all you need And more besides I am for a life and time by numbers Blast in fast 'n' low Add 'em up, account for luck You never know I am into friendship and plain sailing Through frenzied ports o' call O shake the hand to beat the band With love is all Or nothing to the man who wants tomorrow There's one in every town A crazy guy, he'd rather die Than be tied down I am for the man who drives the hammer To rock you 'til the grave His power drill shocks A million miles away I am for the revolution's coming I don't know where she's been For those who dare because it's there I know I've seen Now and then I've suffered imperfection I've studied marble flaws And faces drawn pale and worn By many tears I am that I am from out of nowhere to fight without a cause Roots strain against the grain With brute force you'd better Hold out when you're in doubt Question what you see And when you find an answer Bring it home to me. |

Walking home tonight
It came as no surprise Certain parties making out Before my eyes My little girl Or woman of the world There's a small cafe Where lovers take their time It's good for rainy days Too bad the weather's fine My little girl Or woman of the world What's the story? True to life or just a lie See you later What's so new about goodbye? My little girl Or woman of the world |

Now the ballroom's empty
Everybody I have known Has been and gone With the music over Here am I A shadow echoing on Spin me round Now there must be something In what they say of all things Great and small There's dozen roses Lying almost dying To say all Spin me round A nether world dancing toy I'm wired for sound Does it matter to me Who turns the key? Now if life is for living Then the way is clear But I don't understand Why the dream has ended Yet I can't wake up Lend a hand Spin a round |

Dear Hyde
No more can I Explain, I've tried With words in vain They pass you by Like falling rain From perfect skies Still falls the rain Inside Hey brother don't be square Here it is not over there I'm your man, I've got it made You need my fire you need my shade You're here Hyde Once more inspire This strangely tied Uncertain frame So torn inside Still falls the rain Two minds, one vein Still falls the rain Inside Hey doctor don't be scared It's you and me so where's my share? I'm the man just move aside Call me mister call me Hyde Hey lover don't be shy I'm a single minded guy Better watch me, boy I'm rough Half a man ain't strong enough Hey brother don't be square Here it is not over there I'm your man, I've got it made You feed my fire you need my shade |

Through the undercover hour
Bad and bleak To be brief, too much sorrow And flesh is weak No more feelings No more tears The river's wide enough Flowing stronger through the years Silver lips, kisses borrowed Glances steal To quick, how they quiver Too late they're sealed No more feelings No more tears The river's wide enough Flowing stronger through the years |

Are you customized or ready-made?
Heavy metal trick or treat? Only seventeen On the level trash is neat Teenage fever oh you've got it bad Caught the flavor want it all Only seventeen Bet you know the trash I mean Row your features into magazines Go to Plaza, where's the trade? Only seventeen Slips are lower trash is in |

Now the party's over
I'm so tired. Then I see you coming out of nowhere. Much communication in a motion Without conversation or a notion. - Avalon Where the samba takes you out of nowhere And the background's fading out of focus. Yes the picture's changing every moment and your destination you don't know it. - Avalon Dancing dancing dancing @ dancing. When you bossa nova there's no holding Would you have me dancing out of nowhere. - Avalon Avalon Avalon Avalon Avalon Avalon |

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing Fallen leaves in the night Who can say where they're blowing As free as the wind And hopefully learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning CHORUS More than this-there is nothing More than this-tell me one thing More than this-thre is nothing It was fun for a while There was no way of knowing Like a dream in the night Who can say where we're going No care in the world Maybe I'm learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning CHORUS |

As they say, two can play But keep that song away from me In my time, too much love Has made me sad for so long I was blind, can't you see Through the long, lonely night Heaven knows I believe Won't you take a chance with me Sometimes I get so blue People say I'm just a fool All the world, even you Should learn to love the way I do I was lost, can't you see Through the long, lonely night Haven knows, I believe You can take a chance with me |

Look at my hand
There's a soul on fire You can lead me even higher The main thing Everybody knows When a good thing's gone You can really turn me on The main thing You run through here With your words of sand I can nearly understand The main thing |

This relationship ain't right The space between us Better close it up tonight The space between us Close it up tonight The way I see it This relationship ain't right The space between us Listen here, listen, listen here, listen We better Close it up tonight |

I could show you in a word
If I wanted to A window on a world With a lovely view >From close up inside a single room With an open book aside Like you read in school It's so easy, believe me When you need fun I'd do anything to turn you on Anything to to turn you on Is it raining in New York On Fifth Avenue And off Broadway after dark Love the lights, don't you I could walk you through the park If you're feeling blue Or whatever Spring, summer, whenever Winter through fall I'd do anything to turn you on Anything to turn you on I could leave you as you were If I wanted to Then I wonder, is it fair Now you're on your own Who cares about you Except me, God help me When things go wrong I'd do anything to turn you on Must phone me, you know me When things go wrong I'd do anything to turn you on |

So it gets to seven
And I think of nothing But living in darkness And the diamond lady Well, she's not telling I don't even know here name It's amazing Times have changed In days of old Imagination'd leave you standing Out in the cold Dancing city Now you're talking But where's your soul-you've a thousand faces I'll never know There are complications And compensations If you know the game Agitated in Xenon nightly I'll take you home again Travel way downtown In search of nothing But the sky at night And the diamond lady Well, she's not talking But that's all right So I turn the pages And tell the story >From town to town People tell me Be determined Poor country boy Too much luck Means too much trouble Much time alone But arm in arm With my seaside diamond I'll soon be home |

All of those people
Everywhere Ever so needing Where's it all leading Tell me where Nothing insincere I'd better have pity I'd better go easy I never will lay down While my heart is still beating Where's it all leading Walk on air Am I still dreaming Words to spare Lost in their meaning I'd better be strong now I'd better stop dreaming My heart has flown away now Will it never stop bleeding? |
