a why did i do it, a why did i do it
i asked myself a hundred times and then i start to cry
its up to my neck now im runnin like a dog
i can't remember how it started
but its too late to turn back the clock
i gotta keep on and on and on and on

oh my hearts prayin for a heart attack
im gonna collapse a but i better not
I'll get a few years for the things I've done
ill never see the sunrise no more what the hell
i gotta keep on
fighting for my sanity and for family
and for my baby oh for my baby
bullshit aside yea i knew how to play the game right
but this time i made a mistake and im gonna pay the price
id rather be payin to the grim reaper
than the law keeper

im runnin im runnin im runnin out of time
to late to waste time in haste
i fell to my knees to pray for your god
but your god wasnt there for me
so i prayed to myself
for long life and stamina

i do believe i was startin to lose my nerve and my mind
i heard a little voice screamin if you do the crime you will send for the time
if you do the crime you must render the time
if you do the crime you must render the time

bullsh*t i wont bow down to that
a belly of a priest wont have its name on a slip no
i gotta keep on movin and groovin
i gotta keep on movin and groovin
i gotta keep my mind clear
for the devils and the demons i will not fear
(the devils and demons i will not fear)

im on the run
10 more minutes and im gone
im on the run
10 more minutes and im gone
(repeat)

Brother Pele's in the back
Sweet Zina's in the front
Cruising down the freeway
In the hot, hot sun

Suddenly red blue lights
Flash us from behind
Loud voice booming
"Please step out onto the line"

Pele breathes words of comfort
Zina just hides her eyes
Policeman taps his shades
Is that a Chevy 69?

How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre

Destination unknown
As we pull in for some gas
Freshly pasted poster
Reveals a smile from the pack

Elephants and acrobats,
Lions snakes monkey
Pele speaks righteous
Sister Zina says funky

How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face

Ringmaster step out
Says the elephants left town
People jump and jive
But the clowns have stuck around

T.V. news and camera
There's choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters
Ask where, for and why

Pele yells "we're outta here"
Zina says "right on"
We're making moves and starting grooves
Before they knew we're gone

Jumped into the Chevy
Headed for big lights,
Want to know the rest
Hey, buy the rights,

How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face
It's in my face

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face

Siale?s gone away and she?s never comin? back here again
I understand, I know where you?re comin? from
Just take your time, you've planned this since the first time we met, oh

Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back again?

First time I saw you, you were crowned in silver
You?re hair full of fire, I guess you would have been a goddess
Incognito, hiding all my lies, and this year, I was more than content

Ten times my eyes glanced upon your temple
But I never imagine my deep fantasies
In case you really had another lover, another brother

I know your name is desire
The words you speak chocolate coated whispers
You have a style so unique and pure
A vision from up above, I think I?m infatuated by your spirit

As you passed by my eyes
I?m like a little child mesmerized by your magic

Well, ten times my eyes glanced upon your temple
Well, ten times my eyes glanced upon your temple
Time flies when you?re havin? fun
Well, time flies when you?re havin? fun
Well, time flies when you?re havin? fun, well, time flies

Siale?s gone away and she?s never comin? back here again
I understand, I know where you?re comin? from
So take your time, you've planned this since the first time we met

Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back again?

Time flies when you?re havin? fun
Well, time flies when you?re havin? fun
Well, time flies when you?re havin? fun, well, time flies

Siale?s gone away and she?s never comin? back here again
I understand, I know where you?re comin? from
Just take your time, you've planned this since the first time we met

Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back?
Are you ever comin? back? Are you ever comin? back again?

The lady you were going to America with just left on an early plane
She took the keys to the apartment and left you standing out in the rain
Well, all the bros try to tell you but she said I don?t wanna know
She basically taken everything and left you nothing to your name
Nothing to your name

You borrowed money from the brothers now, time to collect the claim
You can?t even pay for the coffee but still you point the blame
It?s like you?re waiting for a miracle man, it?s just one of those days

Well, I suppose you were never told, so the story unfolds
I think you?ve gone too far this time but who am I to say?
Well, all your debts are numbered now, shall we call it a day?
Call it a day?

Oh man, you?re breaking my heart
Oh man, you?re breaking my heart
Oh man, you?re breaking my heart
Oh man, you?re breaking my heart

Your mother hides behind the curtains when you pull into her drive
She wipes her tears because the only time she sees you
Is when you?ve taken a dive

You keep saying that?s the system man but you and I know
I think it?s time to count your blessings friend
You?re the only one to blame, only one to blame

Oh man, you?re breaking my heart
Oh man, you?re breaking my heart
Oh man, you?re breaking my heart
Oh man, you?re breaking my heart

Three years later and you change your ways
You?ve got a stupid grin on your face
You?ve learned your lesson at long last
What a shame you had to learn that way

I?d like to leave you with just two things
You can take them anyway you like
But when you?re in they all come around
And when you?re out they don?t wanna know

But when you?re in they all come around
And when you?re out they don?t wanna know

Oh man, you?re breaking my heart
Oh man, you?re breaking my heart
Oh man, you?re breaking my heart

Higher flier, angel's wings we drive
My destination, Happy Ville
Money spent on refreshments to cool my temperature
A fine wine or two, sweet food for my mind song

The coolest music to swing to
Jamming out tunes that remind me of you
My pockets lined with gold, I sold the old to reflect
The new tune on my stereo, blow, flow

Tasting sweet dreams caresses me, tried a new style
Wow, lost the vibe while I was in denial
Took a bad trip, slip, flip, shook my ego
I shouldn?t let it get me down son

I need to just live a little, play some fun games
With sisters with no names, stories told in street lingo
Understandable by some friends, I have none
Brothers and sisters under the same old sun

Naked to the devil's deviants, we show a blind eye
We need no one to spoil our adventures of books
Marked at chapter one
Underlined 'Ravings of Polynesia'

Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo
Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo
Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo
Lingo with the Gringo

Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo
Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo
Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo
Lingo with the Gringo

Oh, do you remember
When we were young?
We just had fun

Pedal to the metal, shine into the steel
Sitting up front, Elivisi by the wheel
Putting out of Island Bay, weather looking fine
Flick the switch, needle twitch, FM to the dial

Buddy Toledo singing to the songs
Watching all the P?s and Q?s, nothing can go wrong
Dino Valentino and his lady, flashes cash as the deals go by
So good to be alive, right on, right on

Oh, do you remember
When we were young?
We just had fun

Pieces to the puzzle, music is the word
Franko?s on the show, flying out the bird
Somersaults and figure eights, breaking all the rules
Pushing all the pushers, The King of the New School

Buddy Toledo fronting on the stage
Pacifies the masses with a smile and a wave
Dino Valentino and his lady counts the cash as deal goes by
So good to be alive, right on, right on

Oh, do you remember
When we were young?
We just had fun

Oh, do you remember
When we were young?
We just had fun

Oh, do you remember
When we were young?
We just had fun

Oh, do you remember
When we were young?
We just had fun

Oh, do you remember
When we were young?
We just had fun

It's days like these that make me think of you constantly
It's like I sit around waiting for you response
It's like the phone and I have telepathy
Could you please just maybe give me a sign?

You looked across the room at me
She walked up and said nothing
You said it with a smile, you said it with a smile

Denim jeans and white leather loafers
Sky blue eyes but nobody noticed
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby it just pours out your eyes

You don't know it, you don't show it
You don't know what you do, what you do
You don't know it and you don't show it
You don't know what you do, what you do

You like to hang around classy restaurants
You like to call me at home on my cell phone
You pull my heart strings 'cos you know I won't go
You make a scene as you turn to wave goodbye

Felt like raindrops crying from the sky
Oh, you act so cool, you're nobody's fool

She loves soapies and oriental cats
Plastic fantastic and China's on the go
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, it just pours out your eyes

Oh lady, what cha doing?
You just give it all away,oh, You just give it all away
Oh, you just give it all away, I can see it in your eyes
You just give it all away,oh, You just give it all away
Oh, you just give it all away, I can see it in your eyes

Sweet lady on the telephone
She likes fast cars made in Rome
Two week vacation in the hot, hot sun
She?s drop dead gorgeous, man, she loves to have fun

Aha, she loves Italian
Aha, she loves Italian
Ooh wah ooh, ooh wah ooh, ooh wah ooh

Brothers call her Desire
A sweet sister of fire
Were you born with a silver spoon?
I dig your style, man, you fly me to the moon

Aha, she loves Italian
Aha, she loves Italian
Ooh wah ooh, ooh wah ooh, ooh wah ooh

She's got money, but she don?t care
A fancy talk only bores her to tears
She makes a move to a seaside cafe
She orders pasta and a glass of champagne

Aha, she loves Italian
Aha, she loves Italian
Ooh wah ooh, ooh wah ooh, ooh wah ooh

She deserves to be in diamonds and furs
She likes to dance with a sexy little twirls
You make my heart skip, skip, skip, skip
I?ll give my right arm for a kiss, kiss, kiss

Aha, she loves Italian
Aha, she loves Italian

Ooh wah ooh, ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh, ooh wah ooh

Sweet lady on the telephone
