Mr. Mister

I see myself locked in her arms, she looks inside my soul She is much too beautiful to ever let go Time - it passes much too fast, and time - I want to make it last Ooh, I run to her, I run to her The sun was shining brightly, as we talked into the night Time - how it passes much too fast, time - now I want to make it last Yesterday's a vivid dream, she came into my life Oh, I run to her, I run, run to her (Solo) Ooh, I run to her, I run to her, ohhh

We are two shadows moving on a wall Two characters both weak and strong Then we run from each other again We chant and we dance, we draw ourselves in Chorus: Love is so strange, how we change from day to night Love is so strange, how we change from black to white Ever so strange, how we change from day to night I draw a picture of your face, another time, another place Hey yeah We are the ones who fell into this love We must be in the right place (chorus) That's right, that's right, that's (Solo) (chorus) Love is so strange, love is so strange, love is so strange That's right, that's right, yeah Ooh, love is so strange, love, how we change, yeah yeah Love is so strange, how we change, we change, we change, we change How much we change, much we change, yeah (chorus) That's right, that's right, yeah Love is so strange, how we change from black to white

I don't think I like this place
I don't think I like your face
I don't know if I'll stick around
I don't know, I just might leave town

I don't care much what people say
Nothing's perfect anyway
No one said that the world was fair
Al I want is someone to care

I wear the uniform of youth and I hold on
I wear the uniform of youth and I hold on

Dress it up, play it down
Take it out, kick it 'round
Never mind that I'm not like you
I'll just do what I've got to do

I wear the uniform of youth and I hold on
I wear the uniform of youth and I hold on
I wear the uniform of youth and I hold on
Yeah, just hold on

I wear the uniform of youth and I hold on
I wear the uniform of youth and I hold on
Yeah, hold on
I wear the uniform of youth, gotta hold on

I look into your eyes
I see the dream that I've been searching for
I'll search no more
The age of innocence is never truly spent
When there is love still there to touch

So don't slow down
The wheels are turning
Fire's burning in us now
Hey
Don't slow down
Don't lose the magic
We've come too far to turn back now

I ask to share you dreams
Recalling empty scenes you hesitate
It's not too late
I wish into your eyes
The truth of what I am behind the mask
Beyond the past

So don't slow down
The wheels are turning
(Wheels are turning)
Fire's burning in us now
Don't slow down
(Fire)
Don't lose the magic
(Fire's burning)
We've come too far to turn back now
Hey
Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh
Don't slow down

Don't slow down
Wheels are turning
(Wheels are turning)
The fire's burning in us now
Don't slow down
(Fire)
Don't lose the magic
(Fire's burning)
We've come too far to turn back now
Don't turn back now
Whoa, oh
Don't slow down
Whoa, oh
Yeah
Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh

I see myself locked in her arms, she looks inside my soul She is much too beautiful to ever let go Time - it passes much too fast, and time - I want to make it last Ooh, I run to her, I run to her The sun was shining brightly, as we talked into the night Time - how it passes much too fast, time - now I want to make it last Yesterday's a vivid dream, she came into my life Oh, I run to her, I run, run to her (Solo) Ooh, I run to her, I run to her, ohhh

Last night I had a desperate dream
I was standing in the winter rain
Footsteps close behind me
Somebody called out my name

No magic mirrors can erase
These lines of living on my face
Lessons learned and lost

Take this life into my own hands
Make this world into my own land
Take this life I'll take my stand
Take this world into my own hands

Take this life into my own hands
I'll take my stand

I was walking in the summer sun
Thinking that my life had just begun
How wrong could I be?

Take this life into my own hands
Make this world into my own land
Take this life I'll take my stand
Take this world in my own hands

Take this life into my own hands
Take this world I'll take my stand
Take this life into my own hands
Take this world I'll take my stand

Take this life into my own hands
Make this world into my own land
Take this life I'll take my stand
Take this world in my own hands

Take this life into my own hands
Take this world into my own hands
Take this life I'll take my stand
Take this world into my own hands

Into my own hands
Into my own hands
I'll take my stand
Into my own hands

Is It Love - Mr. Mister I say I love you And hold you near me Well that's your fear You say I scare you I know the message My heart is sending You keep me guessing But you don't read it Is it love is it love We're after Is it love Is it love is it love (Why don't you tell me) The broken record Goes round and round Within a circle Without a sound I'm under water In overdrive You hide in laughter What's on your mind

The wind blows hard against this mountain side
across the sea into my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide
setting my feet upon the road

My heart is old it holds my memories
my body burns a gemlike flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
is where I find myself again

* Kyrie eleision down the road that I must travel
Kyrie eleision through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleision where I going will you follow
Kyrie eleision in a highway in the light

When I was young I thought of growing old
of what my life would mean to me
Would I have followed down my chosen road?
Or only wished that I could be

* REPEAT
* REPEAT

Baby I don't understand
Why we can't just hold on
To each other's hands
This time will be the last
I fear unless I make it all so clear
I need you so

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in

Baby I think tonight
We can take what was wrong
And make it right
I need you so
Baby it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
I need you so

Through all the ragged truth, you left one poignant lie
A nice series of words for goodbye
Who's playin' on your team, he has a certain flair
'Cos I don't see you around anywhere

I cry when you're not here, I keep cryin' tangent tears, oh
Ooh yeah, cryin' tangent tears

I'm stuck on interphase, my heart does not forget
Checking out at this point is no sweat
Chill factor number nine, you made my heart go blind
You act so cold but you still look so fine

I cry when you're not here, I keep cryin' tangent tears, ooh
I cry when you're not here, everything I see reminds me
I'm cryin' tangent tears

I cry when you're not here, I keep cryin' tangent tears, cry tanase yeah
I'm cryin' tangent tears, everything I see reminds me
I'm cryin' tangent tears
I cry when you're not here, ooh, I keep cryin' tangent tears, ohh
I cry when you're not here

I'm cryin' tears of joy, I'm cryin' tears of pain, I'm cryin' tears of joy
They run down my face into a river that winds its way into your life

Welcome little one, to this place of earth and stone
Welcome little one, all blue eyes and innocence
The world is so much colder than your own soft glance

Chorus:
Hey, it's a human race, hey, it's a brave new place
Hey, now you're at the gate
Welcome to the real world, there's so much to learn, welcome to the real world
Welcome to the real world, there's so much to learn, welcome to the real world

The past is a memory, the chains that were choking me
I'm cryin' tears of pain, I'm cryin' tears of joy
I see my freedom lying in my arms tonight

(chorus)



(Welcome to the real world) I know you'll find your way
(There's so much to learn) in the real world
(Welcome to the real world)

(Solo)

Welcome to the, welcome to the (there's so much to learn)
Welcome to the (welcome to the real world) welcome, welcome
(Welcome to the real world)
