Danny Elfman

With these hands, I will cling to you,
I'm yours forever and a day.
With these hands, I will bring to you,
A tender love as warm as May.
With this heart I will sing to you,
Long after stars have lost their glow,
And with these hands, I'll provide for you,
Should there be a stormy sea,
I'll turn the tide for you,
And I'll never,
No, I'll never let you go.

Downtown, kicking round
Aint no way to go get me down
We are all dancing at the biking lounge
Smoking spinsters, swinging sounds
All right, I'm a little uptight
Gonna need my shot tonight
One drink and I'll be alright
That's me shining in the party lights

But you don't know me
And you don't own me

Its only when I dance
That you can see the real me
It's only when I dance
The lights go down and shine on me
Its only when I dance

Downtown til the lights go down
Smoking hidden with the real get down
We're living wild and free
Never thought it's the life for me
Just moving to a whole new beat
Got the world under my feet
You warm me with your naked eyes
Your desire's my paradise

And you don't know me
And you don't own me

Its only when I dance
That you can see the real me
It's only when I dance
The lights go down and shine on me
Its only when I dance
Its only when I dance

Its only when I dance
That you can see the real me
Its only when I dance
The lights go down and shine on me
Its only when I dance
Its only when I dance
Its only when I dance
Its only when I dance
The lights go down and shine on me
Its only when I dance
Its only when I dance
Its only when I dance

Polaroids
S. Colvin

Please no more therapy
Mother take care of me
Piece me together with a
Needle and thread
Wrap me in eiderdown
Lace from your wedding gown
Fold me and lay me down
On your bed
Or liken me to a shoe
Blackened and spit-shined through
Kicking back home to you
Smiling back home
Singing back home to you
Laughing back home to you
Dragging back home to you

I was so wary then
The ugly American
Thinner than oxygen
Tough as a whore
I said you can lie to me
I own what's inside of me
And nothing surprises me anymore
But forests in Germany
Kids in the Tuileries
Broken-down fortresses
In old Italy
And claiming his victory
Shrouded in mystery
He went running away with me

Back in our home New York
Walking these streets forlorn
We all in our uniforms
Black and black
Doing that slouch and jive
The artist must survive
We've got all we need we cried
And we don't look back
Thinking we had it made
Poised for the hit parade
Knee deep in accolades
The conceptual pair
But ever the malcontent
He left without incident
Vanished into thin air

Now I am always amazed
Words can fill up a page
Pages fill up the days
Between him and me
But the vows that we never keep
From bedrooms to business-speak
Make me remember how cheap
Words can be
And the letters I wrote you of
Were those of the desperate stuff
Like begging for love in a suicide threat
But I am too young to die
Too old for a lullaby
Too tired for life on the ledge

But I had a dream last night
Of lovers who walked the plank
Out on the edge of time
Amidst ridicule
They laughed as they rocked and reeled
Over the mining fields
Coming to rest on this ship of fools
But he just took polaroids
Of her smile in the light
Of the dawn of the menacing sky
And before they went overboard
She turned and held up a card
And it said Valentine

Baby,
now that I've found you
I won't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so,
baby even though
You don't need me
now

Baby,
now that I've found you
I won't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so
Baby even though
You don't need me,
You don't need me oh, no

Baby, baby,
when first we met
I knew in this heart of mine

That you were someone I couldn't forget.
I said right,
and abide my time

Spent my life looking
for that somebody
to make me feel like new
Now you tell me that you want to leave me
But darling, I just can't let you

She laughs like a child
One who can't understand
Why she lives her whole life
With her head in her hands
And she's always in pain
That's what makes her
So wonderfully strange

She laughs like a child
One who likes to pretend
That she lives for today
Though she prays for the end
And she's never the same
That's what makes her
So wonderfully strange

She's so up and down
Like the sun and the earth
And she swears, and she swears
She remembers the day
Of he birth
That's the day she became
So wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully strange

It may take some time
To digest what she said
Or begin to hear the
Symphony playin' in her head
It's the place were she lives
She's so wonderfully strange

She's so up and down
Like the sun and the earth
And she swears, and she swears
She remembers the day
Of her birth
That's the day she became
So wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully...

She lives in the dark
Like a tired little girl
She begs to be loved
But she hates to be lonely
Such a tragic fantasy

She laughs like a child
One who likes to pretend
That she lives for today
Though she prays for the end
And she's never the same
That's what makes her
So wonderfully strange

She's so up and down
Like the sun and the earth
And she swears, and she swears
She remembers the day
Of her birth
That's the day she became
So wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, she's so wonderfully strange
Oh yeah, so wonderfully...

[Fades to End]
She's so wonderfully strange
She's so wonderfully strange
She's so wonderfully strange
She's so wonderfully strange
She's so wonderfully strange
She's so wonderfully strange

We should be right here
Get through all this fear
One of these days

Cause when it comes along
We should be right here
One of these days

This could be heaven

This could be heaven

Livin' for the part
Givin' from the heart
Now and forever

But if we let it wait too long
What we have is gone
Memory only

This could be heaven
Maybe we could start a life today
This could be heaven
Love instead of throwin' it all away
This could be heaven
You and me, we know we're our best friends
This could be heaven

Whoever thought we would get this far
Tryin' for all these years
The thought that we would fade away
Was more than I could bear
Oh, I would do anything if you would stay
If you'd stay

Say

We should be right here
Get through all this fear
One of these days

One of these days

This could be heaven
Turnin' it on for human kind
With you by my side
This could be heaven

Sure we could decide to run away
But we'd run away from all this here
This could be heaven

This could be heaven

This could be heaven

We were on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
With you

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you

And I wanna fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
With you

World was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love
With you

No I...
Nobody loves no one

Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame?
You say one love, one life, when it's one need in the night.
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don't care for it.

Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love and you want me to go without.
Well, it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light.
We're one, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other... one

Have you come here for forgiveness,
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got.
We're one, but we're not the same.
Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again.

You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law.
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.

One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should.
One life with each other: sisters, brothers.
One life, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other.
One, one.

There is a place
Underneath the staircase
Where I keep the evidence
Of what once would offer peace
In a deep blue velvet box filled with joy and pride
Should I pick the locks?
Should I peek inside?
Can I stand the sight of those happy days?
Should I strike a match, burn them all away?

Cos you stole my bell
And you broke my chime
And the clock spins round but it won't keep time
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you (x2)

So here we are
But it's not quite like we thought
Those things were priceless then
Now I know they can't be bought
In a deep blue velvet box fastened with a pin
Should I lift the lid?
Should I look within?
Was it my last chance or my first mistake?
Is it just a step that we'll never take?

Cos you stole my bell
And you broke my chime
And the clock spins round but it won't keep time
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you (x3)

How did I wake up each day
Before that moment I saw your face
Where was I before your touch
No where is where I was, without you
Without you in it
My life was just a lie
Before you I don't know how I got by

Before I met you
Before I held you in the night
I don't know how I survived
Before I found you
Before you made everything right
I was half alive
I wasn't really living till you came into my life
I got through baby
But I don't know how I got by

How did I get through those nights
Before that moment I held you tight
And where was I before your kiss
And how did I exist without you
Life had no meaning
No reason and no rhyme
And before you I don't know how I got by

Before I met you
Before I held you in the night
I don't know how I survived
Before I found you
Before you made everything right
I was half alive
I wasn't really living till you came into my life
I got through baby
But I don't know how I got by

I thank God when I wake each day
Awaking next to you
Don't know what I was living for
Before you, before you ohhhhh

Before I met you
Before I held you in the night
I don't know how I survived
Before I found you
Before you made everything right
I was half alive
I wasn't really living till you came into my life
I got through baby
But I don't know how I got by

Before I met you
I don't know how I got by

Angels
Smiling on my happiness
Danger
'Cause the scene is still a mess
( We can all be blast )
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
Spacecraft
Spinning slowly out of sight
Peace man
Keep on chasing the wrong guy
( We'll see eye to eye )
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in
Our window
Don't stop just yet
We' ve got the world looking in

Hold on little girl
show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
when it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

*I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

*repeat

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwile
and I can make you start to smile

When it's through
It's through
Fate would twist the both of you
So come on baby
Come on over
Let me be the one
To show you

*repeatX2

Just to be the next to be with you

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
wife
And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by (passed them by)
Now you're in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try (let me try)
Now I don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even have a song to sing
All I know is

*La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Oh, baby please now

La la la la la la la la la means
I love you

Listen to me

Eres tu el trigo de mi pan

Toda mi esperanza eres tu eres tu

Como fuerte brisa eres tu eres tu
Asi asi ers tu

*Repeat

Como mi poema eres tu eres tu
Como una guitarra en la noche
Todo mi horizonte eres tu eres tu
Asi asi eres tu

*Repeat

La donna é mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
Muto d’accento - e di pensiero.
Sempre un'amabile
Leggiadro viso,
In pianto o in riso - e menzogner.

Esempre misero
Chi a lei s’affida,
Chi le confida - mal cauto il cor!
Pur mai non sentesi
Felice appieno
Chi su quel seno - Non liba amor!
