Missing Persons

No Way - no way out
No way - no way out

I'm watching all my friends
Searching so desperately
They think they know but they don't really see
They can't find peace of mind
They're wasting all their time
Looking for something
That they'll never find

I face the music n dance
Be what I have to be
There's no escapin from it now for me

Who cares what it all means?
'Cause there can be no doubts
You won't find me searching
For an easy way... out

No way - no way out
No way - no way out

Everyone's so afraid
In this atomic age
Can't seem to handle livin' day to day

Becomin so confused
They don't know what's in view
They seek escape in everything they do

I've had my fill of kicks
I'm tired of drugs and sex


And I don't worry 'bout what's happening next

Who cares what it all means
'Cause there can be no doubts
You won't find me searchin'
For an easy way

I'm not searchin for a way out
I'm not searchin for a way out
I'm not searchin for a way out
You won't find me searchin for an easy way out
I'm not searchin for a way out
All you wanna do is seek escape escape escape

No way out
No way out

I know - no way out
There's no way out for me
I know - no way out
Just what i have to be

No way - no way out
No way - no way out

Days go by - no way out
It's getting late
Don't you know - no way out
You're tempting fate

No way - no way out
No way - no way out

So she says that you need too much attention
What is the answer to the rock n roll suspension?

Will you remain alone to spend your old age pension?
To reconcile with the hours of school you spent in detention?

When she is gone where will you regain this adoration?
Now what will you declare to be your destination?

Can you depend on your reflection
To disguise your love contamination?
(shadoop!) do do-do do-do ooh!
(shadoop!) do do-do do-do!

So she says that you need too much attention
What is the answer to this rock n roll suspension?

Do you examine your projections


Based on the impulses of your impressions?
Just know only you will live your reputation
Will the culmination be perfection?

Can you depend on your reflection
To disguise your love contamination?
(shadoop!) do do-do do-do ooh!
(shadoop!) do do-do do-do!

Too much attention - too much attention
This rock n roll suspension - so she says
Too much attention - this rock n roll
This rock n roll suspension - suh-suh-suh-suspension
Too much attention - what is the answer?
This rock n roll suspension - this rock n roll suspension
Too much attention - this rock n roll
This rock n roll suspension - it's all misfunction
Roll rock rock

I'll tell you right now I'm committed to myself
I'll use you
I'll put it to you
Noone will ever play chess with my life
I'm for certain- A free person
t's only real when it's real for me
I'm tryin'... not cryin'
Seven chances means seven times changed
No waiting.. no debating

I'm kicking down bad streets
Just look at what i'm becoming
I'm dancing to my beat
Just look at the game i'm running
I'm kicking down bad streets
I'm dancing to my beat ..

Noone ever gets too close to me
I'm selfish - stand-offish
You'll never guess what i'm gonna do next
I'm impulsive ... compulsive
I'll get over if it's the last thing i do
I'll make it.. i won't fake it
You can tag along if you've got nothing better to do
I'll show you... i won't slow you

I'm kicking down bad streets
Just look at what i'm becoming
I'm dancing to my beat
Just look at the game i'm running

I'm just kicking down bad streets
I'm having fun just looking out for number one
I'm just dancing to my beat
Look at me go i know a lot of things that you don't know

I'm kicking down bad streets
Just look at what i'm becoming
I'm kickin down bad streets..
bad streets bad streets...

I'm kickin down bad streets
i'm kickin down bad streets

Do you hear me
Do you care
Do you hear me
Do you care

My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
The words are audible but I have my doubts
That you realize what has been said
You look at me as if you're in a daze
It's like the feeling at the end of the page
when you realize you don't know what you just read

What are words for when no one listens anymore
What are words for when no one listens
What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin' at all

I might as well go up and talk to a wall
'cause all the words are having no effect at all
It's a funny thing am I all alone

Something has to happen to change the direction
What little filters through is giving you the wrong impression
It's a sorry state I say to myself

What are words for when no one listens anymore
What are words for when no one listens
What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all

Do you hear me
Do you care
Do you hear me
Do you care

Let me get by
Over your dead body
Hope to see you soon
When will I know
Doors three feet wide with no locks open
Walking always backwards in the faces of strangers
Time could be my friend
But it's less than nowhere now
less than nowhere now
less than nowhere now
now
ow ow ow...

Pursue it further and another thing you'll find
Not only are they deaf and dumb they could be going blind and no one notices
I think I'll dye my hair blue

Media overload bombarding you with action
It's getting near impossible to cause distraction
Someone answer me before I pull out the plug

What are words for when no one listens anymore
What are words for when no one listens
What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all

What are words for when no one listens anymore
What are words for when no one listens
What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all

Do you hear me
Do you care
Do you hear me
Do you care
tell me what are words for
Do you hear me
tell me what are words for
Do you care
tell me what are words for
Do you hear me
so tell me what are words for
Do you care
so tell me what are words for
Do you hear me
tell me what are words for
so tell me what are words for
Do you care
so tell me what are words for
Do you hear me
tell me what are words for
so tell me what are words for
Do you care
so tell me what are words for

Here we are in the here and now
All I can see is what's in front of me
All I know is what you tell me now
All I know is what you tell me now
So tell me now

I'll continue on I know somehow
I can't remember how it felt just then
I can't seem to remember when
I can't seem to remember when
Even then

Did it feel the way it should?
Did it feel really good?
I want to be back there now
Wish I could then you would

Wonder if you held me tight
and did you shield me from my fright?
Where are you now?
Where are you now...
are you now?

All I can see is what's in front of me
All I know is what you tell me now
It doesn't seem the same somehow

All I can see is what's in front of me
All I know is what you tell me now
It doesn't seem the same somehow

In the here and now


now and then
In the here and now
now and then

Did it feel the way it should?
Did it feel really good?
I want to be back there now
Wish I could then you would

Wonder if you held me tight
and did you shield me from my fright?
Where are you now?
Where are you now...
are you now?

All I can see is what's in front of me
All I know is what you tell me now
It doesn't seem the same somehow

All I can see is what's in front of me
All I know is what you tell me now
It doesn't seem the same somehow

In the here and now
now and then
In the here and now
now and then
In the here and now - here and now
now and then - now and then
In the here and now - here and now
now and then - now and then.... now

I can't bear the thought of leaving you
But I don't dare to stay
My heart and soul are at a tug of war
But my choice is made
Left with emptiness, no second thoughts
There's nothing left to say

There was time enough to tell you that
you were the only one
I held thoughts inside me when I was the lonely one
You so thoughtlessly took all from me
and drained my life away

All I have left to give are my tears
All I have left to give are my tears
All the time spent through all of the years
All I have left to give are my tears
All, all my tears
All my tears
All my tears
All my tears

They say time will heal everything
Reason and common sense
But with time and reason surely comes
The loss of innocence
Well I've outgrown this kind of silly game
I just don't want to play

Who'd have thought from such a simple start
this would get so involved?
Who'd have thought that this would ever end being unresolved
And for now i think i've had enough so lets call it a day..

All I have left to give are my tears


All I have left to give are my tears
All the time spent through all of the years
All I have left to give are my tears
All

If there were someone i could turn to
it would be easier for me
It's not a easy thing to go through
without a reason to believe

They say time will heal everything
Reason and common sense
But with time and reason surely comes
The loss of innocence
Well I've outgrown this kind of silly game
I just don't want to play

Who'd have thought from such a simple start
this would get so involved?
Who'd have thought that this would ever end being unresolved
And for now i think i've had enough so lets call it a day..

All I have left to give are my tears
All I have left to give are my tears
All the time spent through all of the years
All I have left to give are my tears
All, all my tears
All my tears
All my tears
All my tears
All my tears
All my tears
All my tears
All my tears

You can feel it closing in on you but there's not much you can do

It's not a thing you can put your finger on, but you know when it's gone

Endless stream of highways neon roadsigns and telephone lines

A little town somewhere in the mid-west gonna put your patience to the test

It's the U.S. Drag,
U.S. Drag,
It's the U.S. Drag
Their ain't no drag like the U.S. Drag

Music down a windy street, half a glance from strangers you don't wanna meet

Juke box blaring, stale beat, mixes with gamblers, gangsters boredom &


fear in the pale blue T.V. light

It's the U.S. Drag,
U.S. Drag,
It's the U.S. Drag
Their ain't no drag like the U.S. Drag

An it's closin' in on you
It's the U.S. Drag
It's the U.S. Drag
and there's nothing you can do
U.S. Drag
U.S. Drag
It's the U.S. Drag
It's the U.S. Drag

Look ahead as we pass, try and focus on it
I won't be fooled by a cheap cinematic trick
It must have been just a cardboard cut out of a man
Top-forty cast off from a record stand

Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.

I don't know could've been a lame jogger maybe
Or someone just about to do the freeway strangler baby
Shopping cart pusher or maybe someone groovie
One thing's for sure, he isn't starring in the movies.
'Cause he's walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., only a nobody walks in L.A.

Walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

You won't see a cop walkin' on the beat
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

You only see 'em drivin' cars out on the street
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

You won't see a kid walkin' home from school
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Their mothers pick 'em up in a car pool
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.

Could it be that the smog's playing tricks on my eyes
or is it a rollerskater in some kind of headphone disguise
Maybe somebody who just ran out of gas,
Making his way back to the pumps the best way he can.

Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., only a nobody walks in L.A.

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Nobody walks in L.A

Don't - tell me what to do
And don't you ask me where I'm going to
I have to do what's right for me
Why is that so hard for you to see?

Tryin to get along with you is not an easy thing to do
Your suspicious nature drives me mad
You're wrecking everything that we had

It ain't none of your business
Where I'm going
It ain't none of your business
Who I'm seeing
It ain't none of your business

So stop fooling around with my life
You can't possibly know what it's like
To be inside of me
I'm on my own why can't you just leave me alone?

I have always trusted you
If I can do it you can too
What I do is my concern
Now you're just gonna have to learn

It ain't none of your business
Where I'm going


It ain't none of your business
Who I'm seeing
It ain't none of your business
What I'm doing
It ain't none of your business
It ain't

You've got to take me serious
you're making me delirious
I feel like someone who's in jail
Now let go of my shirt tail

This kind of thing has got to stop
Relationship is on the rocks
I can't take it anymore
You're driving me right out of the door

It ain't none of your business
Who I'm seeing
It ain't none of your business
What I'm doing
It ain't none of your business
It ain't

It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't none of your business
It ain't
It ain't none of your business

Something feels so strange tonight
it's not wrong but it's just not right
some hidden complications, fill me with hesitation

and it gets so dark in here
I can't see through doubts and fears
walled in by expectation, I need a deviation
change in perspective, alternative view
to help me see clearly, observe something new

All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway

All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway

outside the world's so dangerous
It's hard to find someone to trust
fills me with reservation deives me into hibernation
I watch whats going on
but I don't want to belong
leave me in my introspection
safely behind protection

All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway

All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through


It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway

looking through windows at the world
looking through windows at the world
safe behind windows from the world
safe behind windows from the world
watching my window world go by
just watching my window world go by
without my window who am I
without my window who am I

All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway

All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway

All I want
All I want is a window to look through
All I want
All I need is a window to look through
All I need
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway

All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway

My image is hard My attitude heavy
I take you out with the things that I say
I draw the crowds and whenever I'm ready
I've got what it takes to blow them all away

I am your social and your cultural leader
I create the fads and make all the scenes
You know about me from your weekly reader
I'm on the cover of your magazines

'Cause I am one of the noticeable ones - notice me
I am one of the noticeable ones - notice me

I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me - notice me
Notice me - noticeable one
I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me - notice me
Notice me - noticeable one

My private life is scandalized by the public


But that's the price I have to pay for my fame
And all the liggers in my way with their cute tricks
Are getting over just by dropping my name

'Cause I am one of the noticeable ones - notice me
I am one of the noticeable ones - notice me

I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me - notice me
Notice me - noticeable one
I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me - notice me
Notice me - noticeable one

I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me - notice me
Notice me - noticeable one
I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me - notice me
Notice me - noticeable one

Noticeable one - notice me
