Tonite, you cried out I heard your call
From the child inside your soul
An SOS heaven help the sender
And tonite I wish we weren't so far apart
Because the beating of this heart is telling you
You can't surrender

I know it's hard for you, you know it's hard for me
If you can keep believing there's a place
I know someday we'll be

Somewhere in the silent morning
Somewhere out beyond the sea of blue
There is a dream that's calling
Somewhere there is a place for me and you
Me and you

So near, I watch the city lights go out


And I know without a doubt that you and I
Tonite somehow have spoken
And here, across the miles so far away
I cross my heart and pray that a promise made will not be broken

The words are in my head, but they're hard for me to say
Sometimes alone the power of what I feel can take my breath away

And if the wait's too long there
Let your heart be strong there
And may the love reign over you

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try

No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for
and no religion too

Imagine all the people
living life in peace

You may say i'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us
and the world will be one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us
and the world will live as one

Jessie is a friend,
Yeah I know he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed
It ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl
And I want to make her mine
And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it!
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman like that?

I'll play along with this charade
That doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love but the point is probably moot
'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it!
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman like that?

Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman...
Where can I find her, a woman like that?

And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time
Wonderin' what she don't see in me
I've been funny; I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?
Tell me why can't I find a woman like that?

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman like that?

Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want, I want Jessie's girl

Now I can tell you how I feel
A broken heart is this for real
There's still so much for me to do
And to know
And to be and to feel

If you think you're groovy
You don't even move me
There's no denying
If you dare to be true

In my dreams I dreamt for two
My dreams were real but where were you
And now my dreams have all been changed
Rearranged
There's room for two
But not for you

If you think you're groovy
You don't even move me
There's no denying
If you dare to be true

Oh you made me feel so real
Baby how I used to feel
Now I know what it's all about
Honey I found out (I found out) I found out
(I found out) I found out and I wanted to tell you

If you think you're groovy
You don't even move me
There's no denying
If you dare to be true

Talk about life, imitating art
Well I was sure that I heard the director yell,
Take it from the start
And I could feel my body crushing yours
Camera dollied into place
Your husband's in the front row, I couldn't look him in the face

Part of the pleasure was that it felt so wrong
But it grew too fast, too strong

Don't you think your friends are talking alyson?
They're blaming it all on me
I'm blaming it all on love
Well don't you think your friends are talking alyson?
Just a little sexual tension
Under the guise of love

Young and tragic, I really felt the part
While we were sweating and screaming tearin' out his heart
Well I was sure I heard the wind and the wires
Crying in sympathy
For star-crossed lovers, ally that ain't you or me

Part of the pleasure was that it felt so wrong
But it grew too fast, too strong

Don't you think your friends are talking alyson?
They're blaming it all on me
I'm blaming it all on love
Well don't you think your friends are talking alyson?
Just a little sexual tension
Under the guise of love

For a limited run in to your local bedroom
We knew the curtain would be coming down soon
Reviews were mixed, the press was unkind
Ally I hope they will forgive us in time, in time

Part of the attraction was that we knew it couldn't last
So we closed our eyes and held on

Don't you thing your friends are talking alyson?
Who were we trying to fool?
What was I thinking of?

Don't you think your friends are talking alyson?
They're blaming it all on me
I'm blaming it all on love
Well don't you think your friends are talking alyson?
Just a little sexual tension
Under the guise of love

She was insatiable, you know the type
And she was young, but she was ripe
And she was vicious, and she took a bite

Baby don't wanna feel this pain anymore
I've got a message, put it through emergency
I wanna hear it on the radio tonight

Calling all girls, If you're looking for love (You got it)
Calling all girls, If you're looking for a hot time
Calling all girls, If you're looking for fun

We're gonna party to raise the dead
I'm gonna love that girl right out of my head
Baby don't wanna feel this pain anymore

Calling all

Well who'd've believed this season's
connaisseur lady-killer like me
Would get hurt by a girl like you
And they got names for dirty little girls like you, honey
It ain't nice, though, but they call you everybody's girl
And they say - here she comes, here she comes,
here she comes, here she comes
And they say - here she comes, here she comes,
here she comes, here she comes
There goes
Everybody's girl, everybody's girl,
everybody's girl, everybody's girl

You might say I was blind for a while,
I fell asleep at the drive-in neon
You sure woke me up in a hurry, honey
And I can't blame anyone but me, I know
For it's my fault for falling for everybody's girl
And they say - he's the one, he's the one,
he's the one, he's the one
And they say - he's the one, he's the one,
he's the one, he's the one
Who got screwed by
Everybody's girl, everybody's girl,
You got no apparent sensitivity,
you cut deep with self-destructivity
Your mind's made up, you're headin' for the tide
When you shake and your heart breaks, it's gonna come

Everybody's girl, everybody's girl,
Everybody's girl - you know your time's gonna come
Everybody's girl - you can't do this forever
Everybody's girl - go and turn that other cheek
Everybody's girl - you're gonna get her

Well I'm sick of hanging out on the street
Every Saturday night with the boys
Listening to the radio's big beat
We crank it just to hear the noise

Yeah we talk about the girls, girls, girls
And we talk, talk, talk all night
Sure we're all Romeos and Casanovas
But we can't seem to get it right

Seems I'm making it harder and harder
While everybody else is doing well
I get confused by their bodies
I get tangled in their curls
How do you talk to girls
How do you talk to girls
What's a poor boy to do
Tell me how do you talk to girls?
How do you talk to girls?

I see this girl over there right away
I'm trying to think of something to say
Well I think I'll have one more drink
I'll be ready to make my play
But this guy moves in and he talks to her
And she nods her head
Well I'm used to missing out on the girl
But I want to know what he said

Seems I'm making it harder and harder
While everybody else is doing well
I get confused by their bodies
I get tangled in their curls
How do you talk to girls?
How do you talk to girls?
What's a poor boy to do
I'm tangled up in their curls

How do you talk to girls?
How do you talk to girls?
Out of wisdom and out of pearls
Tell me how do you talk to girls

Am I stupid or misunderstood
I'd say something clever if I only could
We're only ten feet apart
But it feels like the world..

You look a little lonely, babe, a little blue
You know you're not the only one, I'm lonely too
I been surviving just day by day
I had some dreams but they all blew away

And then I saw your face across a crowded room
My heart missed a beat, oh, did you feel it too
To trust someone you just gotta be bold
The wall that you're building is crumbling, oh

Why don't we break it down
Why don't we break it down, pretty baby
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, just one kiss
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss
To break it down

You look a little lonely, babe, a little blue
I said you're not the only one, I'm lonely too
I can't deny my heart anymore
You give me a feeling that I can't ignore

You try to play it safe, but you're not really shy
You try to look away, but I caught your eye
You can't hide, it's all over your face
The barrier between us is losing its place

Why don't we break it down
Why don't we break it down, pretty baby
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, just one kiss
It's gonna, it's gonna take,
Take just one kiss, yeah just one kiss,
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss
To break it down

Why don't we break it down
Why don't we break it down, pretty baby
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, just one kiss
It's gonna, it's gonna take,
Take just one kiss,
To break it, break it down

It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, yeah just one kiss,
It's gonna, it's gonna take,
Take just one kiss,
To break it, break it down,-acap

I can see the path you're cutting
It cost me a little piece of my heart
I can see the doors you're shutting
'Cause they were open at the start

Baby loving you has been hard on me
You're such a tough little sister
Just looking for Mr. Right
On the wrong side of town

You better Love Somebody
It's late
You better Love Somebody
Don't wait
You better Love Somebody
Don't tempt fate
You're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night

Your eyes are wild, your skin so white
You're undernourished and overfed
She's got the teeth, she knows how to bite
'Cause when you bit I bled
You got the perfect image
Of the perfect man
You're a tough little sister
But you'll settle for a mister tonight
But you're running out of time

You better love somebody
It's late
You better love somebody
Don't wait
You better love somebody
Don't tempt fate
You're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night

I'm only saying what I feel
You think I'm wrong I know
You thought I was sleeping at the wheel
I thought that you were driving

You better love somebody
You better love somebody
You better love somebody
It's late
You better love somebody
Don't wait
You better love somebody
Don't tempt fate
They're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night...

It all started here, she was a girl from the mid-west
He was a stranger in a strange land
same old story
He came for the glory
She came looking for a young man's hand

But they found bright lights
And endless nights
And men just used her innocent ways
He found it all so pretty, hypnotized by the city
They lost sight of the reasion
They lost count of the days

And they were two souls searching for each other
One spirit looking for the other
Caught between a hard hard place and a rock

Two souls searching for heaven
Rolling the dice looking for a seven
To the tick, tick, ticking of time
Gotta beat the clock

Too many nights on the ledge
He acquired a knife edge
Still the city didn't acquiesce to his demands
Some nights she cried for pity in the heart of the city
The city smacked her hands

He met her one endless night
Her eyes had a light
There was something familiar about the smell of her
skin
He held her tighter and tighter
As he danced inside her
She knew from the moment that she let him in

They'd been two souls searching for each other
One spirit looking for the other
Caught between a hard hard place and a rock

Two souls searching for heaven
Rolling the dice looking for a seven
To the tick, tick, ticking of time
Gotta beat the clock
Beat the clock
Beat the clock
Beat the clock

Two souls searching for each other
One spirit looking for the other
Caught between a hard hard place and a rock

Two souls searching for heaven
Rolling the dice looking for a seven
To the tick, tick, ticking of time
Gotta beat the clock

You know my feelings run deep
You've got me calling your name in my sleep
We've held each other while we cried through the night
It always turned out alright

But I fell victim to a parallax view
I sensed a change but I swore it was you
I shied away when you needed me most
I didn't see what I was doing, now I'm left destitute

I never knew how lost I could be till today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm still crazy for you

We've thrived in shadows from scene to scene
My mind still wanders to the Tavern on the Green
We lived for moments that we stole away
They seem as vivid today

We had our problems, and we hadn't the time
You clung to your and I did to mine
Didn't I see how they tore us apart
Now I'm a banished refugee, there's nothing left for me

I never knew how lost I could be till today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm still crazy for you

I never knew how lost I could be till today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm still crazy for you
Still crazy for you, still crazy for you
I'm so crazy for you, still crazy for you

Standing at the terminal,
I can almost hear the music
Coming from the cold and chilly early night
When we get to the gate, baby,
all of the things that were said
Will they turn you 'round and bring you back
Will they bring you back,
will you come back home
'cos you know I'm waiting
The light of love is always on
You know my love's getting
stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on,
keepin' the night watch

Baby are you lonely, don't talk to strangers
I'm tryin' to tell myself
you won't be gone for long
And when we get to the part, baby,
where all of the tears start to come
Will you turn around,
get on the plane that brings you back
Will you come back home,
'cos you know I'm waiting
The light of love is always on
You know my love's getting
stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on,
keepin' the night watch

The light of love is always on

The light of love is always on
You know my love's getting
stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on,
keepin' the night watch
The light of love is always on
You know my love's getting
stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on,
keepin' the night watch

I think that somewhere along the line
(And it's said, all things return to you in time)
I must have finally opened up to your love
Though I was building a wall at heaven's gate
(Everything comes to those who wait)
You must have found a secret path into my soul
And now you're part of my life
I can't believe that this is mine
Every light has its time to shine

Is it the power of love
Is it the power of love
Is this the tao of love
I feel the power of love

Caught up in the famous paper chase
(in you eyes, I saw how I never fell from grace)
And I heard the battle's not always
To the strong
(The race is not always to the fleet)
And the one who seeks to pluck the stars
Will miss the jewels at his feet
Blinded by momentary power
We almost had the final hour
I'll never know what caused the change in me

Was it the power of love
Is it the power of love
Is this the tao of love
I feel the power of love

Is it the power of love
Is it the power of love
Is this the tao of love
I feel the power of love

And I thought anything for the cause is worth the price
(Losing you was the sharp edge of the knife)
Now no more fear, the way is clear
I know you are the power in my life
So better late than never
'cause this heart is yours forever
I'll never know what caused the change in me

Was it the power of love
Is it the power of love
Is this the tao of love
I feel the power of love

Is it the power of love
Is it the power of love
Is this the tao of love
I feel the power of love

I think that somewhere along the line
(And it's said all

Black is black, I want my baby back
And gray is gray since she went away
Oh oh, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue

If I had my way, she'd be here today
But she'd go in time and leave me to cry again
Oh no, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue

I can't choose, there's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Maybe if she would come back to me
Then I can't go wrong

Bad is bad, that I feel so sad
It's time, it's time, that I found peace of mind
Oh oh, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue

I can't choose, there's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Maybe if she would come back to me
Then I can't go wrong

Black is black, I want my baby back
And gray is gray since she went away
Oh oh what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue
Cause I, I'm feeling blue, cause I, I'm feeling blue

She was insatiable, you know the type
And she was young, but she was ripe
And she was vicious, and she took a bite

When you were just a young girl and still in school
How come you never learned the golden rule
Don't talk to strange men, don't be a fool
I'm hearing stories, I don't think that's cool

Why don't you tell me, someone is loving you
Cause you're my girl, some say it's no longer true
You're seeing some slick continental dude
I'm begging you, please

Don't Talk To Strangers, baby don't you talk
Don't Talk To Strangers, You know he'll only use you up
Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk,
Don't talk, don't talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody, ever told you, don't talk

Now tell me, how's life in the big city
I hear the competition's tough, baby that's a pity
And every man's an actor, every girl is pretty
I don't like what's getting back to me

Now who's this, Don Juan I've been hearing of
Love hurts when only one's in love
Did you fall at first sight or did you need a shove
I'm begging you, please

Don't Talk To Strangers, baby don't you talk
Don't Talk To Strangers, You know he'll only use you up
Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk,
Don't talk, don't talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, don't talk

*Fais l'amour avec moi (*Make love to me)
What's he saying baby
*Viens dormir, mon amour (*Come to sleep my love)
I asked you not to talk to him
*Je t'aime donne moi ton coeur ce soir (*I like you to give me your heart this night)
I'm begging you

Don't Talk To Strangers, baby don't you talk
Don't Talk To Strangers, You know he'll only use you up
Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk,

We're only ten feet apart
But it feels like the world..

Well, you admit you like the game
But you're not gonna play
You just ignore what your body is tryin' to say
I got the feelin' that you're playin'
And we're both gonna win
And I think this angel is about to sin

I get excited
Just thinkin' what you might be like
I get excited
There's heaven in your eyes tonight
The fire's ignited down below
It's burning bright
Oh baby, stay, we got all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees tonight

No baby, you don't look that nervous
When you bite your lip
You keep 'em open when we kiss
You're a hypocrite
You got my body dancin' tangos
In three four time
This angel is gonna spread her wings tonight

I get excited
Just thinkin' what you might be like
I get excited
There's heaven in your eyes tonight
The fire's ignited down below
It's burning bright
Oh baby, stay, we got all night, all night
We got all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees tonight
Tonight.... tonight......

Baby, I can feel your heart beat
Can't you feel the heat
Baby's got the cold feet, fire below
Oh baby stay we got
Oh baby stay we got

All night, all night
We got, all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees
All night, all night,
We've got, all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees
Tonight, tonight

You look a little lonely, babe, a little blue
You know you're not the only one, I'm lonely too
I been surviving just day by day
I had some dreams but they all blew away

And then I saw your face across a crowded room
My heart missed a beat, oh, did you feel it too
To trust someone you just gotta be bold
The wall that you're building is crumbling, oh

Why don't we break it down
Why don't we break it down, pretty baby
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, just one kiss
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss
To break it down

You look a little lonely, babe, a little blue
I said you're not the only one, I'm lonely too
I can't deny my heart anymore
You give me a feeling that I can't ignore

You try to play it safe, but you're not really shy
You try to look away, but I caught your eye
You can't hide, it's all over your face
The barrier between us is losing its place

Why don't we break it down
Why don't we break it down, pretty baby
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, just one kiss
It's gonna, it's gonna take,
Take just one kiss, yeah just one kiss,
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss
To break it down

Why don't we break it down
Why don't we break it down, pretty baby
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, just one kiss
It's gonna, it's gonna take,
Take just one kiss,
To break it, break it down

It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, yeah just one kiss,
It's gonna, it's gonna take,
Take just one kiss,
To break it, break it down,-acap

Counting the headlights passing two by two
Searching the stream of steel and chrome
I'm looking for love, I know you're looking too
So rev up your heart and take me home
A wish and a prayer won't get me there tonight
Longing to hold you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you

I know you like to drive it hard and fast
You tear up the speed zone in my heart
Just give me one night to prove our love can last
I can make love a work of art
A wish and a prayer won't get me there tonight
Longing to hold you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you

Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina

You know my feelings run deep
You've got me calling your name in my sleep
We've held each other while we cried through the night
It always turned out alright

But I fell victim to a parallax view
I sensed a change but I swore it was you
I shied away when you needed me most
I didn't see what I was doing, now I'm left destitute

I never knew how lost I could be till today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm still crazy for you

We've thrived in shadows from scene to scene
My mind still wanders to the Tavern on the Green
We lived for moments that we stole away
They seem as vivid today

We had our problems, and we hadn't the time
You clung to your and I did to mine
Didn't I see how they tore us apart
Now I'm a banished refugee, there's nothing left for me

I never knew how lost I could be till today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm still crazy for you

I never knew how lost I could be till today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm still crazy for you
Still crazy for you, still crazy for you
I'm so crazy for you, still crazy for you

You can see her walking down on a city street,
The American girl
She's got the passion in her eyes
She's got the blush on her cheeks,
The American girl

I love to watch her move, her body sways
She whispers then she laughs
Did you hear what she says
I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me
Doing things her daddy can't see

The American girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
She's such a mystery to me

Love is full of intrigue
And full of Bogart mystique, the American girl
She's got the promise in the night
The romance in the back seat, the American girl

I love to watch her move, her body sways
She whispers then she laughs
Did you hear what she says
I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me
Doing things her daddy can't see

The American girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
She's such a mystery to me

And she stares at herself
In the harsh white light
And she draws in her cheeks
Just like the model
So unsure of herself in the big wide world
The American girl

The American girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
She's such a mystery to me

The American girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough

The American girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American girl, she breaks hearts

Patty's working, but she's watching the clock
She's in the back room counting stock
And down in a warehouse out by the dock
Jesse's lifting crates and breaking rock
But when the whistle blows to end the daily fight
And the working forces turn out the light
Jesse takes that little girl and he holds her tight
As the day fades away he says
We're all that matters tonight

Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonight

Patty comes like an angel and takes his hand
Jesse says, Baby, I've got a plan
He says I wanna get married and make a stand
But there's just one thing you gotta understand
Now the pressure of living and the daily fight
Could hurt us in time if our perspective ain't right
So shut the door and put out the light
And baby, be here, because we're all that matters tonight

Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonight

Break your back from nine to five
Sweating blood just to stay alive
Running home to the harbor light
Safe and warm, in love so right, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonight

Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonig

I wonder who she's seeing tonight
Is she really going out with him
He's not her type
And doing all the things she used to do to me
Well, I'd say something to her
But I get so jealous
When I think of her loving somebody else
That I can't think why we ever let go
I must have been crazy

Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
To lose you

She was cold sometimes
But she made me feel alive
She was such a spoiled baby
But baby, she could love
And she loved me like nobody ever will again
I thought we'd be together
When the world ran down
When the curtain fell and the lights came up
But the gods or whatever make the world go round
Shuffled when they should have cut

Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
To lose you

Did it come too easy to the two of us
Did we go too wrong to ever make it right
Were we too busy checking out the left hand
That we didn't see the right, and

Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I

Oh baby, please, oh baby, please come back
I meant to say in time
Baby we could work it out
But I never meant to say goodbye

Tell me what kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I
To lose you

Everybody looks so spaced out there
Busy bowing to the priests of noise
Turn it up and make it drown out the warning
Bad news for the girls and boys
Everybody looks so romantic
Acting like it's nothing at all
Looking for Number One
Working for the week and
Living to the beat

[Chorus:]
Dance this world away
Dance this world away
Dance this world away
Dance this world away

I see people all dressed like Nero
Fiddling while Rome burns in strife
Personal responsibility zero, we've lost that rhythm of life
There's a shadow on our bright horizon
It won't be manna falling out of the sky
The hard rain hits everyone
Working for the week and
Living to the beat

[Chorus]

Somewhere there is a ship that's sinking
Why do I think that nobody knows
Looking out for Number One
Working through the week and
Dancing to the back beat

[Chorus]

Everybody looks so spaced out there
Busy bowing to the priests of noise
Turn it up and make it drown out the warning

My father's chair's still standing there
All alone since the long night
Now it's three years on and I still feel
He'll come home, we'll be alright
So where's this healing time brings
I was told the pain would ease
But it still hurts like the first night

That night my brother, my mother and I
Were looking up at a distant star
And wishing we could reach that far
And back in the house
And alone for the first time
We told each other we cared
We avoided my father's chair

I watch my family, we hold on
We are strong and we'll be alright
The clock continues counting down,
All the while
And every child will share the long night
But do the spirits meet again
Why am I still so filled with doubt
Is my soul everlasting

And the far distant future
When I knew you'd be gone
Came too fast and stays too long
Why do they leave the weak of spirit
And take the strong

But wherein the world turns sour
And I get sick from the smell
And I can't find no comfort there
I climb into my father's chair

My father's chair's still standing there
All alone since the long night
Now it's three years on and I still feel
He'll come home, we'll be alright
So where's this healing time brings
I was told the pain would ease
But it still hurts like the first night

That night my brother, my mother and I
Were looking up at a distant star
And wishing we could reach that far
And back in the house
And alone for the first time
We told each other we cared
We avoided my father's chair

I watch my family, we hold on
We are strong and we'll be alright
The clock continues counting down,
All the while
And every child will share the long night
But do the spirits meet again
Why am I still so filled with doubt
Is my soul everlasting

And the far distant future
When I knew you'd be gone
Came too fast and stays too long
Why do they leave the weak of spirit
And take the strong

But wherein the world turns sour
And I get sick from the smell
And I can't find no comfort there
I climb into my father's chair

I know your name
I told you mine
We've stopped and passed the time of day
You work in town
I work at night
That gives us six until seven to work this out

If I seem a little strange
It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in

You are the moon
I am the sea
You pull me in and gaze on down at me
I was alone
I thought I was immune
The door can still be open wide

If I feel a little strange
It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in
It's just the state of the heart
I wait in the dark
I the state I'm in

We get closer and closer
To falling out or falling in
I go over and over
But I can't change the state
This heart is in

If I seem a little strange
It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in
It's just the state of the heart
You know I wait in the dark
In the state I'm in
It 's the state of the heart
The state of the heart, oh
The state of the heart
The state of the heart, oh

I know your name
I told you mine
We've stopped and passed the time of day
You work in town
I work at night
That gives us six until seven to work this out

If I seem a little strange
It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in

You are the moon
I am the sea
You pull me in and gaze on down at me
I was alone
I thought I was immune
The door can still be open wide

If I feel a little strange
It's just the state of the heart

It's just the state of the heart
I wait in the dark

We get closer and closer
To falling out or falling in

But I can't change the state
This heart is in

You know I wait in the dark

It 's the state of the heart
The state of the heart, oh
The state of the heart
The state of the heart, oh

We don't talk much
We don't make live like we used to
And I stay guarded
I've got walls and triggers
I never thought I had
And so do you
But this is love
And that's the way we seem content to play it

I touch your clothes when you're e gone
I let your scent wash over me
You cry at night and you wish just like a child
That we were how we used to be

There's' a stranger in the house
In the house
There's a stranger in the house
In the house
There's 's a stranger in the house
In the house
And she looks like somebody from a lifetime ago

I stonewall you, you stonewall me
But we both know that
Hiding deep inside us
Lives the love that we try hard to lose
And never will
But this is war
And that's the way we seem content to fight it

I get so angry and confused 'cause
I want out but I want you
You can't decide between moving out
Or moving in
You don't know what to do

With a stranger in the house
In the house
There's a stranger in the house
In the house
There's a stranger in the house
In the house
And she looks like you
And he looks like me

Is this the same girl
That I fought so hard to win
And now I fight to lose her
Now I feel that it's just like skin to skin
And nerve to nerve
Strung out like wire
Is that the way we are content to live

We face off in anger
In rooms once filled with love
Looking for a chink in the armour
Where we can stab the blade
What are we thinking of

There's a stranger in the house
In the house
There's a stranger in the house
In the hou

We don't talk much
We don't make live like we used to
And I stay guarded
I've got walls and triggers
I never thought I had
And so do you
But this is love
And that's the way we seem content to play it

I touch your clothes when you're e gone
I let your scent wash over me
You cry at night and you wish just like a child

I think that somewhere along the line
(And it's said, all things return to you in time)
I must have finally opened up to your love
Though I was building a wall at heaven's gate
(Everything comes to those who wait)
You must have found a secret path into my soul
And now you're part of my life
I can't believe that this is mine
Every light has its time to shine

Is it the power of love
Is it the power of love
Is this the tao of love
I feel the power of love

Caught up in the famous paper chase
(in you eyes, I saw how I never fell from grace)
And I heard the battle's not always
To the strong
(The race is not always to the fleet)
And the one who seeks to pluck the stars
Will miss the jewels at his feet
Blinded by momentary power
We almost had the final hour
I'll never know what caused the change in me

Was it the power of love
Is it the power of love
Is this the tao of love
I feel the power of love

Is it the power of love
Is it the power of love
Is this the tao of love
I feel the power of love

And I thought anything for the cause is worth the price
(Losing you was the sharp edge of the knife)
Now no more fear, the way is clear
I know you are the power in my life
So better late than never
'cause this heart is yours forever
I'll never know what caused the change in me

Was it the power of love
Is it the power of love
Is this the tao of love
I feel the power of love

Is it the power of love
Is it the power of love
Is this the tao of love
I feel the power of love

When the heart is ready the teacher will come
Nothing remains without change-surrender

The diamond's buried deep-surrender
It's a gateless gate for those who never try
Nothing remains without change-surrender
The light of spirit burns in everyone
The diamonds buried deep-surrender
When the heart is ready the teacher will come
Nothing remains without change-surrender

I got so many thoughts jumping out of my head
And I can't sit still
I'm thinking about the universe
I'm looking at life on earth
I can't shut the camera shutter

I stare at the clock, and the years slip away
And I stay confused

I'm dreaming about la raison d'etre
I'm frightened by the toxic threat
I can't stop the motor running

People saying I should learn some self-control
But I just want to exorcise my soul

And walk like a man, walk like a man
I still feel like a boy
And you feel like a girl in my hand
I'm gonna walk like a man, walk like a man
I'm still waiting on the revelation
Here in never-never land

I got so many things jumpin' out of my brain
And I feel so strange
I'm crazy about the car I drive
While people struggle just to stay alive
I can't put the two together

I stare in the bathroom mirror at my face
God, I look so pale
Lines crawl across my face
I'm runnin in the human race, yeah
Me first, who am I kidding

Where is this peace that comes with age
Someone show me to my cage

Where I can walk like a man, walk like a man
I still feel like a boy
And you feel like a girl in my hand
I'm gonna walk like a man, walk like a man
I'm still waiting on the revelation
Here in never-never land
(When it finally hits me then)
(And only then, I'll understand)
Waiting for the revolution here
In never-never land

Where is this peace that comes with age
Will somebody take me to the stage

Where I can walk like a man, walk like a man
Walk, walk like a man
Walk like a man
Walk like a man
Walk like a man-ac

I got so many thoughts jumping out of my head
And I can't sit still
I'm thinking about the universe
I'm looking at life on earth
I can't shut the camera shutter

Keep on, keep on, whispering in the night
There's no problem if it's not in sight
In the face of annihilation
We still plan futures for the children
Keep on whispering in the night
People talk but it's just "cocktail chatter"
What we say, anyway, doesn't really matter

Everybody, time is tight
We're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
And waiting on the big bang

Wake up, wake up, yes this is your life too
The light of spirit also burns in you
In the face of extermination
We still plan future for the children
Get up, yes this is your life too
We talk and talk and shake our heads in wonder
Nothing that we can do
Can stop us from going under

Everybody, time is tight
We're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
And waiting on the big bang

I sit here and contemplate my future
And all the songs that we all sing
Don't really do a thing

Everybody, time is tight
We're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
And waiting on the big bang

Keep on, keep on, whispering in the night
There's no problem if it's not in sight
In the face of annihilation
We still plan futures for the children
Keep on whispering in the night
People talk but it's just "cocktail chatter"
What we say, anyway, doesn't really matter

Everybody, time is tight
We're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
And waiting on the big bang

Wake up, wake up, yes this is your life too
The light of spirit also burns in you
In the face of extermination
We still plan future for the children
Get up, yes this is your life too
We talk and talk and shake our heads in wonder
Nothing that we can do
Can stop us from going under

Everybody, time is tight
We're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
And waiting on the big bang

I sit here and contemplate my future
And all the songs that we all sing
Don't really do a thing

Everybody, time is tight
We're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
From the left and from the right
They're walking on the edge
Of the long black night
And waiting on the big bang

Stop, my head is playing tricks again,
won't it ever stop
Baby, help me listen to my heart and then,
take me to the top

I'm afraid of love, so afraid of love,
and I'm scared to make it right
But I know tonight that it's my last chance,
my last shot
At real love, and I wanna take it
Last chance, with a slow dance in the big time,
and I wanna make it

Tonight you're gonna show me
what love is and why
Between the sweatin' 'n' lovin'
and the whisper and the cry
I'm so tired of all this shit that I feel,
show me something real

*Carry me away, baby carry me away
I'm in love with you tonight, feels so right
Carry me away, come on carry me away,
I wanna be with you, what can I do?
You've got the power, you got the love
To take me to heaven or to leave me to heartbreak

I spent my life waitin' for the future
and livin' in the past
Baby, show me love that I can hold on to,
give me something that'll last

I'm a total wreck, but I'm up to my neck
In this love I'm in, and I can't do a thing
It's a long shot, a far cry from a real world,
me and you baby
Last chance at the slow dance, in the bright lights,
and I think that maybe

Tonight it's gonna happen, no need of tryin'
Between the sweatin' 'n' lovin'
and the whisper and the cry
I'm so scared of all this feeling I feel,
show me something real

*Repeat

You got the power, you got the love
To take me to heaven or to leave me to heartbreak

*Repeat

So you tell me she's a little cheater,
she's a maneater, yeah that's alright
'Cos I think I know her better,
you can keep your chatter
And I know it's gonna be alright

*Bite your tongue -
you know I don't wanna hear this
Bite your tongue -
you know I've been told before
And I don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cos you're not talking 'bout my girl
(no no)
She is her daddy's pearl (oh oh)
She wouldn't hurt me for the world
(no no, oh oh oh)

Everybody seems to get the kicks waitin'
at some fixation they got
That I'm gonna find out sooner or later
They're sure it's comin', but I know it's not

*Repeat

Daddy's pearl, you know she's daddy's pearl
You know she's daddy's pearl,
you know she's daddy's pearl

*Repeat

Well who'd've believed this season's connaisseur
lady-killer like me
Would get hurt by a girl like you
And they got names for dirty little girls like you, honey
It ain't nice, though, but they call you everybody's girl

And they say - here she comes, here she comes,
here she comes, here she comes
And they say - here she comes, here she comes,
here she comes, here she comes
There goes

*Everybody's girl, everybody's girl,
everybody's girl, everybody's girl

You might say I was blind for a while,
I fell asleep at the drive-in neon
You sure woke me up in a hurry, honey
And I can't blame anyone but me, I know
For it's my fault for falling for everybody's girl

And they say - he's the one, he's the one,
he's the one, he's the one
And they say - he's the one, he's the one,
he's the one, he's the one
Who got screwed by

*Repeat

You got no apparent sensitivity,
you cut deep with self-destructivity
Your mind's made up, you're headin' for the tide
When you shake and your heart breaks, it's gonna come

*Repeat

Everybody's girl - you know your time's gonna come
Everybody's girl - you can't do this forever
Everybody's girl - go and turn that other cheek
Everybody's girl - you're gonna get her

Where are you runnin' my love,
through the back streets of the city
You're keeping an eye on the horizon,
looking over your shoulder
Must be some demon drivin' you

I must have looked like a prime one
Running after you, thinking we still could survive
But nobody I've ever loved,
ever hurt me like you did, that lack of feeling

*I've got a hole in my heart,
you know that I've got a hole in my heart
But I won't beg, no baby, I won't beg anymore

You're nothing but a taker, a real heartbreaker
Who ever hurt you so long ago, baby
He must have been a master, you learned it there

*Repeat

Nobody I've ever loved, ever hurt me like you did,
with that lack of feeling

*Repeat

I've got a hole in my heart,
I've got a hole in my heart
I've got a hole in my heart

This one way love affair ain't fair,
it ain't no affair to me
It's all give and take, and you just take,
and I can't take it, you see
Well I'm givin' it up on love this time,
me and my friends, we'll do just fine

*I've done everything for you,
you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you,
you've done nothin' for me

You knew,
some day I'd have a whole lotta money,
I'd be a millionaire
But when that didn't happen overnight,
I found out how much you really cared
Well, all you want is a whole lotta money,
all the rest is just jivin', honey

*Repeat

When I first met you,
you didn't know how to love a man
All those things 'bout makin' love
you didn't understand
But now you know 'bout everything,
I'm turnin' you in for memories

*Repeat

*Repeat

And I'm goin' out on the town tonight,
and get as wild as I can be
I'm gonna find out
what it's really like to be loose,
high and free
Well, I don't care what the people say
I've taken my mind, I'm changin' this day

*Repeat

You've done nothin' for me
You've done nothin', you've done nothin',
you've done nothin' for me

I love that look comes in your eyes
when we're all alone
And it's much too late for friends to come calling,
I disconnect the phone
And I put on the radio,
and I take her and I talk real low
And I hold her tight,
and soon I'm dancing in the night

Inside Sylvia, oh Sylvia, yeah yeah Sylvia,
I know my love is alive
Inside Sylvia, yeah Sylvia, oh Sylvia, ah

Sometimes you get so crazy,
I know it's all in your mind
And right in the middle of the night
I see just what you need
And they say that love is blind
And I hold you till the feelings come,
but sometimes when the loving's done
I see a scared little girl, afraid of the woman

*Inside Sylvia, yeah Sylvia, oh Sylvia,
I know my love is alive
Inside Sylvia, yeah Sylvia, oh Sylvia, ah

Though the world can rage and storm
There's still one hollow where I'm safe and warm
It's when I'm inside Sylvia, yeah Sylvia, oh Sylvia, ah
Inside Sylvia, yeah Sylvia, oh Sylvia, ah

*Repeat

Jessie is a friend, yeah,
I know he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed
that ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl
and I want to make her mine

And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body,
I just know it
Yeah 'n' he's holding her in his arms late,
late at night

*You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that

I play along with the charade,
there doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know, I feel so dirty
when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her,
but the point is probably moot

'Cos she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body,
I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late,
late at night

*Repeat

Like Jessie's girl, I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman,
where can I find a woman like that

And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time,
wondering what she don't see in me
I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love supposed to be

Tell me, where can I find a woman like that

You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl,
where can I find a woman like that, like
Jessie's girl, I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
I want, I want Jessie's girl

I'm picking up my baby tonight
Though her daddy's makin' troubles it'll be alright
I'm working hard, I don't know why
I'm like a working class dog and I just get by

*Tonite I'm crawling out from in it,
and though we're living on a brink
Second by second by minute by minute
Love is alright tonite, we're gonna be alright
Love is alright, love is alright tonite

Everyone's saying the sky's gonna fall
Don't know where it's gonna stop if it stops at all
I know the world's going crazy alright
I hope it holds together for one more night

*Repeat

Don't worry daddy,
I'll have her home at a respectable hour
Go to sleep, daddy,
you won't think about tonight
With the night comes the feeling
that I've got this incredible power
Gonna love her, daddy,
she'll be feeling it tonite, alright
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright,
it's gonna be alright

Love is alright tonite and baby,
we're gonna be alright
Love is alright, love is alright tonite

When we talk, it's a thriller baby,
it's like walkin' on a tight-rope line
When we spark, it's electric, baby,
like a cracker from a neon sign
What you're doin' baby,
come on over tonight, yeah yeah yeah
We'll have a joint, children,
we'll be doin' doin' doin' alright

*Red hot & blue love, red hot & blue love
Whatever you're thinkin' of, you can do it, do it, do it
With red hot & blue love

Well I got it all planned on the other hand,
if you like it like that

When we touch, there's a shock, baby,
like the static from a pilon
When we love, I'm on a rocket, baby,
runnin' up and down your northerns
What you're doin' baby,
come on over tonight, well well well
We'll have a joint, children,
we'll be doin' doin' doin' alright
(that's right, that's right)

*Repeat

Well I take it when I want it and I really want it now

I'm talkin' 'bout red hot, I'm talkin' 'bout red hot

*Repeat

Well you know that I take it when I want it
and I want it tonight, tonight"

Standing at the terminal,
I can almost hear the music
Coming from the cold and chilly early night
When we get to the gate, baby,
all of the things that were said
Will they turn you 'round and bring you back
Will they bring you back,
will you come back home
'cos you know I'm waiting

*The light of love is always on
You know my love's getting
stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on,
keepin' the night watch

Baby are you lonely, don't talk to strangers
I'm tryin' to tell myself
you won't be gone for long
And when we get to the part, baby,
where all of the tears start to come
Will you turn around,
get on the plane that brings you back
Will you come back home,
'cos you know I'm waiting

*Repeat

The light of love is always on

*Repeat (2x)

Keepin' the night watch, keepin' the night watch
