When you gonna leave me alone Wake up and get on with your life When you gonna pick up the phone Can't you see I'm lonely tonight Stranded out on Venus again Waiting for the TV to speak Where are all my beautiful friends Toasting off my beautiful week
Would you throw me a rope if I asked you to dance Swallow me whole if I gave you the chance, oh yeah Somewhere in space there's a start and an end Show me the way 'cause I'm stranded on Venus again On Venus again
Strolling down the length of La Brea Searching for my angels with spoons Holding out the length of the day here Praying for the light of the moon
Would throw me a rope if I asked you to dance... Hung out by the neon lights Well maybe I'm wrong for thinking I'm right Hello, California Can't you see I'm lonely tonight
Would you throw me a rope if I asked you to dance...
Love my eternal mystery Buried in an angel's breast Fell down the stairs and kissed me Smiled and forsook the rest
No calculated guesswork Now that introduction's made And oh what a thrill to hold her An embrace beside a hand grenade
I'm a mess to be made this evening With a cheap serenade so pure
What is mine and yours Could never be unspoken 'Cause a love as pure Scream to the ocean and sky All the ways of boys and girls Love the same is mine and yours tonight Tonight
Sweet summer lilac romance There upon the grocery shelf Staring at your painted beauty Flexing my painted self
Take off your dress don't worry Take off your boxing gloves There's nothing in your touch to hurt me But the punishment I'm thinking of
I'm a mess to be made this evening With a cheap serenade so pure
What is mine and yours Should never be unspoken 'Cause a love as pure Scream to the ocean and sky All the ways of boys and girls Love the same is mine and yours tonight
And if it's a promise kept Or sweet enchanted sorrow I will still be here tomorrow As tonight
What is mine and yours Should never be unspoken 'Cause a love as pure Scream to the ocean and sky All the ways of boys and girls Love the same is mine and yours tonight Tonight
We're talking trash again like long sedated lovers Baby what's become of us A latent memory of Southern springs and summers Maybe winter in New York
It's started raining now on all my best intentions I'm putting on my heavy coat I'll take an airplane and leave the worst unmentioned Blame it on a lack of time
When I was given to easy answers I swept you off your feet But now the dancing days are gone You sleep alone, leave the radio on
I'm high above it now, the clouds a pillow for me I consider even more You have the softest eyes, the ways to wash and comfort All the kids on Jersey shore
And I believe in easy answers Coming home for Christmas Minding manners all along I sleep alone, leave the radio on
Yes I believe in easy answers Something permanent But only chances make a song We sleep alone, leave the radio on We sleep alone, leave the radio on
If ever you heard all of these words Silent my point of view If ever you found all of my doubts Sorry what I put you through Sorry what I put you through
If anyone could make it happen If anyone knows how to be If anyone would stay Never walk away She's standing here in front of me
If ever you knew how I need you Waiting every waking day If ever you hurt it's only much worse Knowing that I made you wait Knowing that I made you wait
If anyone could make it happen If anyone knows how to be If anyone would stay Never walk away She's standing here in front of me She's standing here in front of me La da da da da...
If anyone could make it happen If anyone knows how to be If anyone would stay Never walk away She's standing here in front of me Yeah she's standing here in front of me La da da da da...
Looking out the window, it's midday Like the one I finally made you go away Thirty days, give or take Well I was sure you would break I finally took that picture off the wall Into every crack a little rain will fall Give it time, so they say But where do I place the blame For it all
(chorus) 'Cos it's true You release yourself, it's all on someone else Yeah it's true And it's all the same when you got no one left to blame I believed you every time you said That this world could only turn inside your head As if you never cried As if we never died, this death
(chorus)
(bridge) 'Cos if I'd ever thought about it I know I'd find a way to doubt it for you I know that I'm responsible for The little lies I let you tell for two
Is she jumping? What an evening To admire the view Flower in her hair Girl on the roof I can see her, I believe her So would I say something true Love is in the air Girl on the roof In the balance of the silence From the street down below Crowding is everywhere Dying to know I can see her, I believe her Is she asking for proof Love is in the air Girl on the roof Love is in the air What a perfect day to find Nothing could compare What a waste to turn and wave goodbye Is she thinking of the meaning That we all want to know Crowd is gonna stare Girl doesn't show I can see her, I believe her But could I say something new Love is in the air Girl on the roof Love is in the air What a perfect day to find Nothing could compare...
We'll go out tonight If it makes you feel better But something is not right So as long as we're together Shoot straight-say what you mean And don't delay-I need every word
I already know about the change in the weather I already heard about the popular lie Only you know whatever you're showing Tell me what's on your mind
I see it in your eyes Those pretty pictures cold and silent But what a waste of lies I could have stayed at home dying There you go, sigh it away, but Dear you don't concede any words
I already know about the change in the weather I already read the early New York Times Only you know whatever you're showing Tell me what's on your mind
What I want to do is wake up to you Bathing in the morning's light All I want to say is bomb's away Could you be my girl tonight
Out here on the street We move around All that we need So tell me
What do you believe makes the world go 'round What do you believe makes the world go 'round
What I want to do is find something new Shiny like a brand new toy All I want to take is what I make Feeling like a brand new boy
My sweet city days I try to slide and fade away To nothing
What do you believe makes the world go 'round What do you believe makes the world go 'round What do you believe makes it all keep turning as it's going down Oh babe, you gotta know it's gonna have to go
'Cause lately all I know is the smile on your face There's a feeling that will grow And a doubt I can't erase And the times I can't remember they will sink without a trace
Flight of fancy, pickup trucks Sky of midnight, mother, son Life gets lost and I miss those miles behind Paths don't cross where the flamin' angel rides There she goes, a love alive The highway sings her lullaby Far away, but here tonight The flamin' angel rides To carry me off to sleep Carry me off to dream away the miles Ba ba ba... There she goes, a love alive The highway sings her lullaby Far away, but here tonight The flamin' angel rides To carry me off to sleep Carry me off to dream away the miles Flight of fancy, pickup trucks Sky of midnight, mother, son Life gets lost and I miss those miles behind Paths don't cross where the flamin' angel rides Paths don't cross where the flamin' angel rides Good night Flamin' angel Flamin' angel Flamin' angel Flamin' angel
Noon siesta floating off the radio May has come to rescue Central Park Watch the kids revive the sounds of Mexico It gives them a spark and something to breathe The beauty of everything unseen
The figure of eight goes 'round It leaves you alive where you started It's good to be up when you're down So what were you waiting for? If all of your past is now The figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around
These are days you read about in magazines These are times they used to call a book Every option sitting here in front of me Could give me a look, sweet on the vine I take them back home and make them mine
The figure of eight goes 'round It leaves you alive where you started It's good to be up when you're down So what were you waiting for? If all of your past is now The figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around
In a maze of broken dreams It is all just what it seems And a sweet, forgotten sound Goes around
Noon siesta floating off the radio May has come to rescue Central Park Watch the kids revive the sounds of Mexico It gives them a spark
The figure of eight goes 'round It leaves you alive where you started It's good to be up when you're down So what were you waiting for? If all of your past is now The figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around
The figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around The figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around The figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around The figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around The figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around
Pack all your things up, don't get upset Soon you should leave 'cause sooner you'll forget Was it a dream or maybe a mess Give you a pinch and take a wild guess
You could be mistaken, lost in how it ends 'Cause only in the movies things make sense let every stupid story take away your doubts 'Cause only in the movies things work out
God and all his angels must be surprised At every little promise that turns into a lie If she were a picture framed in golden wood Could you really miss her
Would you? Still life and memories waltz out the door Is there relief in wanting what was yours No friend or doctor knows what to say
Blind to forever standing in the way You could be mistaken, lost in how it ends 'Cause only in the movies things make sense Let every stupid story take away your doubts
