[death tribble]

I've been alone with you

Inside my mind

And in my dreams I've kissed your lips

A thousand times

I sometimes see you

Pass outside my door

Hello !

Is it me you're looking for ?

I can see it in your eyes

I can see it in your smile

You're all I've ever wanted

And my arms are open wide

'cause you know just what to say

And you know just what to do

And I want to tell you so much

I love you

 

I long to see the sunlight in your hair

And tell you time and time again

How much I care

Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow

Hello !

I've just got to let you know

'cause I wonder where you are

And I wonder what you do

Are you somewhere feeling lonely ?

Or is someone loving you ?

Tell me how to win your heart

For I haven't got a clue

But let me start by saying I love you

 

Hello !

Is it me you're looking for ?

'cause I wonder where you are

And I wonder what you do

Are you somewhere feeling lonely ?

Or is someone loving you ?

Tell me how to win your heart

For I haven't got a clue

But let me start by saying I love you

[death tribble]

So welcome to the world, yeah

All you late-comers, just step on board

I'm happy, glad you came

So welcome home again

Sometimes I feel we must be going mad

 

Hello peter, hello Paul

Saints and sinners, welcome all

Tommy Cannon and Bobby Boy

Hello, hello, hello, hello

 

Consider, if you will

This great big question, unanswered still

Oh, can you spot the difference that lies between

The colour blue and the colour green?

Sometimes I feel we must be going mad

 

Little Richard, Little Nell

Willie Wonker and William Tell

Salman Rushdie and Kim Basell

Hello, hello, hello, hello

 

So welcome to the team

Oh, have you worked it out yet?

Yeah, the riddle, I mean

What's the answer?

It's plain to see, blue is blue and it always will be

Sometimes I feel that the whole world's going mad

 

Mork and Mindy, Brian Hays

Bary Humphries and Paris Grey

Hey (hey)
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey (hey)
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They (they)
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They (they)
They'll betray
I'm forever there

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true

I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
Sad but true

You (you)
You're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You (you)
You're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do (do)
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do (do)
Do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true

I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
Sad but true

I'm your dream
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain

I'm your dream (I'm your dream)
I'm your eyes (I'm your eyes)
I'm your pain (I'm your pain)
You know it's sad but true

Hate (hate)
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay (pay)
Pay the price
Pay, for nothing's fair

Hey (hey)
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you there
Hey (hey)
I'm your life
And I no longer care

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true

I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reason, alibis
I'm inside, open your eyes
I'm you

Sad but true

 

[death tribble]

Do you have the time

To listen to me whine

About nothing and everything

All at once

I am one of those

Melodramatic fools

Neurotic to the bone

No doubt about it

 

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm cracking up

Am I just paranoid ?

Am I just stoned ?

 

I went to a shrink

To analyze my dreams

She says it's lack of sex

That's bringing me down

I went to a whore

He said my life's a bore

So quit my whining cause

It's bringing her down

 

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm cracking up

Am I just paranoid ?

Uh, yuh, yuh, ya

 

Grasping to control

So I better hold on

 

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm cracking up

Am I just paranoid ?

Am I just stoned ?

[death tribble]

I don't want to wait anymore I'm tired of looking for answers

Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter

I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast, too slow

Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I've got to go

There’s no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on

And you've just gotta keep on keeping on

 

Gotta keep on going, looking straight out on the road

Can't worry 'bout what's behind you or what's coming for you further up the road

I try not to hold on to what is gone, I try to do right what is wrong

I try to keep on keeping on

Yeah I just keep on keeping on

 

I hear a voice calling

Calling out for me

These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free

Be it for reason, be it for love

I won't take the easy road

 

I've woken up in a hotel room, my worries as big as the moon

Having no idea who or what or where I am

Something good comes with the bad

A song's never just sad

There's hope, there's a silver lining

Show me my silver lining

Show me my silver lining

 

I hear a voice calling

Calling out for me

 

These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free

Be it for reason, be it for love

I won't take the easy road

I won't take the easy road

The easy road, the easy road

 

Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on

Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on

Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on

Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on

[Greywind]

Somewhere in the distance I hear the bells ring
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing
And the lady 'cross the street she shuts out the night
A cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light

But it's too late, too late, too late
Too late for love
Too late, too late, too late
Too late

London boys are gazing, girls go hand in hand
A pocket full of innocence, the entrance is grand
The queen of the dream stands before them all
She stretches out her hand as the curtain starts to fall

But it's too late, too late, too late
Too late for love
Too late, too late, it's too late
Too late

Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you
The actor and the clown—they're waiting for their cue
And there's a lady over there. She's acting pretty cool
But when it comes to playing life she always plays the fool

But it's too late, too late, it's too late
Too late for love
Too late, it's too late, too late
Too late

It's a little too late…
Much too late
They say it's just too late

Late it's too late…

Too late, it's too late, too late
Too late for love
Too late, too late, too late
Too late

[Greywind]

To live between a rock and a hard place
In between time
Cruising in prime time
Soaking up the cathode rays

To live between the wars in our time
Living in real time
Holding the good time
Holding on to yesterdays

You know how that rabbit feels
Going under your speeding wheels
Bright images flashing by
Like windshields towards a fly
Frozen in the fatal climb
But the wheels of time
Just pass you by
Wheels can take you around
Wheels can cut you down

We can go from boom to bust
From dreams to a bowl of dust
We can fall from rockets' red glare
Down to brother can you spare
Another war
Another wasteland
And another lost generation

It slips between your hands like water
This living in real time
A dizzying lifetime
Reeling by on celluloid

Struck between the eyes
By the big time world
Walking uneasy streets
Hiding beneath the sheets
Got to try and fill the void

You know how that rabbit feels
Going under your speeding wheels
Bright images flashing by
Like windshields towards a fly
Frozen in the fatal climb
But the wheels of time
Just pass you by
Wheels can take you around
Wheels can cut you down

[Greywind]

People say I'm crazy
Doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"

People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?"

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people ask me questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me, as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round

I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

[death tribble]

Uh huh, life's like this

Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is

'Cause life's like this

Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is

 

Chill out, what you yellin' for ?

Lay back, it's all been done before

And if you could only let it be

You will see

I like you the way you are

When we're drivin' in your car

And you're talking to me one on one

But you've become...

 

Somebody else 'round everyone else

You're watching your back like you can't relax

You're tryin' to be cool

You look like a fool to me

Tell me

 

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated ?

I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else

Gets me frustrated

Life's like this

 

You, you fall and you crawl and you break

And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty

You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it

No, no, no

 

You come over unannounced

Dressed up like you're somethin' else

Where you are ain't where it's at

You see you're making me laugh out

When you strike your pose

Take off all your preppy clothes

You know you're not fooling anyone

When you've become...

 

Somebody else 'round everyone else

You're watchin' your back like you can't relax

You're tryin' to be cool

You look like a fool to me

Tell me

 

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated ?

I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else

Gets me frustrated

Life's like this

 

You, you fall and you crawl and you break

And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty

You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it

No, no, no

No, no, no

No, no, no

No, no, no

 

Chill out, what you yellin' for ?

Lay back, it's all been done before

And if you could only let it be

You will see...

 

Somebody else 'round everyone else

You're watching your back like you can't relax

You're trying to be cool,

You look like a fool to me

Tell me

 

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated ?

I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else

Gets me frustrated

Life's like this

 

You, you fall and you crawl and you break

And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty

You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it

No no

 

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated ? (yeah, yeah)

I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else

Gets me frustrated

Life's like this

 

You, you fall and you crawl and you break

And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty

You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it

No no no

[death tribble]

You said something will change

We were all dressed up

Somewhere to go

No sign of rain

But something will change

You promised

 

You said nothing will change

We were almost near

Almost far

Down came the rain

But nothing will change

You promised

 

A promise

A promise

A promise

 

It's exactly the same

You said

It's always the same

But I'll make it change

Into something the same

I promise

 

A promise

A promise

A promise

 

Light on the waves

Light on the waves

Light on the waves

Light on the waves

 

A promise

A promise

A promise

A promise

 

(light on the water)

(we could sail on forever) a promise

A promise

(there's light on the water)

(we could sail on forever) a promise

(there's light on the water) a promise

(there's light on the water) a promise

(we could sail on forever) a promise

(there's light on the water) a promise

(there's light on the water) a promise

(we could sail on forever)

[death tribble]

You light up another cigarette and I pour the wine

It's four o'clock in the morning and it's starting to get light

Now I'm right where I wanna be, losing track of time

But I wish that it was still last night

 

You look like you're in another world but I can read your mind

How can you be so far away, lying by my side

When I go away I'll miss you and I will be thinking of you

Every night and day

 

Just promise me you'll wait for me

'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you

And I will be home soon

Promise me you'll wait for me

I need to know you feel the same way too

And I'll be home, I'll be home soon

 

When I go away I'll miss you and I will be thinking of you

Every night and day

Just promise me you'll wait for me

'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you

And I will be home soon

Promise me you'll wait for me

I need to know you feel the same way too

 

And I'll be home, I'll be home

Promise me you'll wait for me

'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you

And I will be home soon

 

Promise me you'll wait for me

I need to know you feel the same way too

And I'll be home, I'll be home soon

[Greywind]

Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by
Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so
Give me love, give me heart and soul
You never let me cross to the other side now
I'm tied to the hope that you will somehow
Hard on the heels of something more
But I lost your love, heart and soul
The tear in my heart as you walk on by

I feel so low and your head is high
Everything you do convinces me more
Please, give me love, give me heart and soul
Looking to the day when I saw your face
I wasn't in the running, I wasn't in the race
You move in a way that I've known before
Now I want your love, heart and soul

Leaving you ain't easy now
Loving you's the harder part
You never want me for myself
I've needed you right from the very start
Oh won't you even try to

Give a little bit of heart and soul
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul
Don't you make me beg for more
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit of heart and soul

Walking on the water, walking on the air
That was the heart of the love we shared
Do you keep secret left untold
Can't give love, heart or soul
I used to have a lover with a Midas touch
I turned to gold but he turned to dust
Left me for another, I turned to stone
Now I want your love, heart and soul

Living in a fantasy
There's never any room to breathe
Hoping every waking hour
You gonna turn around and say that we can start
Oh won't you even try to

Give a little bit of heart and soul
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul
Don't you make me beg for more
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit of heart and soul

Somehow, I lost my way
Looking to see something in your eyes
But love will never compromise
Now this is the politics of life, yeah

Give a little bit of heart and soul
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul
Don't you make me beg for more
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit, little bit

Give a little bit of heart and soul
Give a little bit of love to grow
Give a little bit of heart and soul
Don't you make me beg for more
Give a sign, I need to know
A little bit of heart now want your soul?

[Greywind]

Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

(We should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(We should see) Trapped in a state of imaginary grace
(We should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
(We should see) Never comprehending a race that's long gone by

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen some changes and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)

[Greywind]

On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes
All your life, all your life all you've asked when's your daddy gonna talk to you
But you were living in another world tryin' to get your message through.

No one heard a single word you said.
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head.

Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say.
Ooh, she's a little runaway.

A different line every night guaranteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets, calling for a wild time
So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you

You know she likes the lights at night on the neon Broadway signs
She don't really mind, it's only love she hoped to find

Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say.
Ooh, she's a little runaway.

No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head.

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away

Zero?
Yeah, Zero is a wonderful thing.
In fact, Zero is my hero!

How can Zero be a hero?

Well, there are all kinds of heroes, you know.
A man can get to be a hero
For a famous battle he fought...
Or by studying very hard
And becoming a weightless astronaut.

And then there are heroes of other sorts,
Like the heroes we know from watching sports.
But a hero doesn't have to be a grown up person, you know,
A hero can be a very big dog
Who comes to your rescue,
Or a very little boy who's smart enough to know what to do.

But let me tell you about my favorite hero.

My hero, Zero, such a funny little hero,
But till you came along,
We counted on our fingers and toes.
Now you're here to stay
And nobody really knows
How wonderful you are.
Why we could never reach a star,
Without you, Zero, my hero,
How wonderful you are.

What's so wonderful about a zero?
It's nothing, isn't it?

Sure, it represents nothing alone.

But place a zero after 1
And you've got yourself a 10.
See how important that is?
When you run out of digits,
You can start all over again.
See how convenient that is?

That's why with only ten digits including zero,
You can count as high as you could ever go...
Forever, towards infinity,
No one ever gets there, but you could try.

With 10 billion zeros,
From the cavemen till the heroes,
Who invented you,
They counted on their fingers and toes
And maybe some sticks and stones, or rocks and bones
And their neighbors' toes.
You're here,
And nobody really knows
How wonderful you are.
Why we could never reach the star,
Without you, Zero, my hero,
Zero, how wonderful you are.

Place one zero after any number
And you've multiplied that number by 10.
See how easy that is.
Place two zeros after any number
And you've multiplied that number by 100.
See how simple that is.
Place three zeros after any number,
And you've multiplied that number by 1,000.

Et cetera, et cetera, ad infinitum, ad astra, forever and ever,
With zero, my hero, how wonderful you are.

Boy: Woof! You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol Building here in Washington. But I wonder who that sad little scrap of paper is?

I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage.

Bill: Well I got this far. When I started, I wasn't even a bill, I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called their local Congressman and he said, "You're right, there oughta be a law." Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress. And I became a bill, and I'll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law.

I'm just a bill
Yes I'm only a bill,
And I got as far as Capitol Hill.
Well, now I'm stuck in committee
And I'll sit here and wait
While a few key Congressmen discuss and debate
Whether they should let me be a law.
How I hope and pray that they will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: Listen to those congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and debate about you?

Bill: Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Most bills never even get this far. I hope they decide to report on me favourably, otherwise I may die.

Boy: Die?

Bill: Yeah, die in committee. Oooh, but it looks like I'm gonna live! Now I go to the House of Representatives, and they vote on me.

Boy: If they vote yes, what happens?

Bill: Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again.

Boy: Oh no!

Bill: Oh yes!

I'm just a bill
Yes, I'm only a bill
And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill
Well, then I'm off to the White House
Where I'll wait in a line
With a lot of other bills
For the president to sign
And if he signs me, then I'll be a law.
How I hope and pray that he will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: You mean even if the whole Congress says you should be a law, the president can still say no?

Bill: Yes, that's called a veto. If the President vetoes me, I have to go back to Congress and they vote on me again, and by that time you're so old...

Boy: By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a law. It's not easy to become a law, is it?

Bill: No!

But how I hope and I pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Congressman: He signed you, Bill! Now you're a law!

Bill: Oh yes!!!

Ah lahmlahlah

Ah lahmlahlah

 

I met this girl late last year

She said, "Don't you worry if I disappear."

I told her I'm not really looking for another mistake

I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait

But then I jump right in

A week later returned

I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn

But I gave her my time for two or three nights

Then I put it on pause until the moment was right

I went away for months until our paths crossed again

She told me, "I was never looking for a friend.

Maybe you could swing by my room around 10:00.

Baby, bring a lemon and a bottle of gin.

We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late AM.

Baby, if you wanted me then you should've just said."

She's singing

Ah lahmlahlah

 

Don't f' with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my home

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

Don't f' with my love

I told her she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

 

And for a couple weeks I only wanna see her

We drink away the days with a take-away pizza

Before a text message was the only way to reach her

Now she's staying at my place and loves the way I treat her

Singing out Aretha

All over the track like a feature

And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don't want to either

But me and her we make money the same way

Four cities, two planes the same day

And those shows have never been what it's about

But maybe we'll go together and just figure it out

I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on a couch

But we should get on a plane

Or we'll be missing it now

Wish I'd have written it down

The way that things played out

When she was kissing him

How I was confused about

Now she should figure it out while I'm sat here singing

Ah lahmlahlah

 

Don't f' with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my home

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

Don't f' with my love

I told her she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

 

[Knock knock knock] on my hotel door

I don't even know if she knows what for

She was crying on my shoulder

I already told ya

Trust and respect is what we do this for

I never intended to be next

But you didn't need to take him to bed that's all

And I never saw him as a threat

Until you disappeared with him to have sex of course

It's not like we were both on tour

We were staying on the same f'ing hotel floor

And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment

But it was never just fun and I thought you were different

This is not the way you realize what you wanted

It's a bit too much, too late if I'm honest

And all this time God knows I'm singing

Ah lahmlahlah

 

Don't f' with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my home

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

Don't f' with my love

I told her she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

 

Don't f' with my love

That heart is so cold

All over my home

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

Don't f' with my love

I told her she knows

Take aim and reload

I don't wanna know that babe

Ah lahmlahlah

[Cassandra]

I don't like stamp collecting

I don't play chess

I'm just not used to second best

 

I don't watch Wheel of Fortune

or Meet The Press

I'm not the kind of gets depressed

 

Just give me action

Your love is the attraction

It's pure satisfaction

It's  .  .  .

 

I don't mind blasting out of here

Screw gun control

I want some fun before I get old

 

I don't mind causing accidents

I'm on a roll

Who cares is I'm on parole

 

Just give me action

Your love keeps me in traction

It's pure satisfaction

It's  .  .  .

 

Let's start a revolution

Call in John Wayne

You're love is driving me insane

 

Let's storm a fortress

Start World War Three

Knockoff the Ayatollah for me

 

Just give me action

Your love is the attraction

It's pure satisfaction

It's  .  .  .

 

Come on and give me a little action

Will you Honey

[Cassandra]

I am the shadow in your window

I am the scratching at your door

I am a prodigy of hunger

Like no one has ever seen before

 

Wrenched from the ground And We will find

The Victims you have left behind

We are the nightmares in your head

You might be better off undead

 

You need to rid the world of Evil

Drive us like lemmings off a cliff

Despite our appetite for Igor

We are a bunch of working stiffs

 

Wrenched from the ground And we will find

The Victims You have left behind

We are the nightmares in your head

You might be better off undead

 

Wrenched from the ground and we will find

The Victims you have left behind

We are the Nightmares in your head

You might be better off undead

[death tribble]

In the night a new day dawning

And the first birds start to sing

In the pale light of the morning

Nothing's worth remembering

It's a dream, it's out of reach

Scattered driftwood on the beach

 

Summer night city...

Summer night city...

 

Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark

Summer night city

Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park

Summer night city

 

In the sun I feel like sleeping

I can't take it for too long

My impatience slowly creeping

Up my spine and growing strong

I know what's waiting there for me

Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free

Aa-ahhh

 

When the night comes with the action

I just know it's time to go

Can't resist the strange attraction

From that giant dynamo

Lots to take and lots to give

Time to breathe and time to live

 

Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark

Summer night city

Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park

Summer night city

 

It's elusive call it glitter

Somehow something turns me on

Some folks only see the litter

We don't miss them when they're gone

I love the feeling in the air

My kind of people everywhere

 

When the night comes with the action

I just know it's time to go

Can't resist the strange attraction

From that giant dynamo

And tomorrow, when the dawning

And the first birds start to sing

In the pale light of the morning

Nothing's worth remembering

It's a dream, it's out of reach

Scattered driftwood on the beach

 

Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark

Summer night city

Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park

Summer night city

 

Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark

Summer night city

Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park

Summer night city

 

Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark

Summer night city

Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park

Summer night city

[Pariah]

I go downtown, lay by the railroad tracks

I'm gonna go downtown, lay down by the railroad tracks

You see I don't want nothin' since my baby, she ain't comin' back

 

My lady she's gone, took all my reason to live

My baby sh'se gone, took all my reason to live

Since she don't want me, I got nothin' left to give

 

She won't see me

Won't pick up the telephone

I wonder if she knows

She's the reason that I'll be gone

 

Lay in my bed, stare at the ceiling for a while

I'm gonna lay in my bed, stare at the ceiling for a while

My baby gonna miss me, my lady gonna miss me when I die

 

Got my pills, got my bottle of gin

I'm gonna swallow my pills, swallow my bottle of gin

When I close my eyes I won't see the sun again

 

Get me a gun, go back into my room

I'm gonna get me a gun, one with a barrel or two

You know I'm better off dead than singing these suicide blues

[Pariah]

Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio is like being nowhere at all.

All through the day how the hours rush by, you sit in the park and you watch the grass die.

 

Ah, but after the sunset, the dusk and the twilight, when shadows of night start to fall.

They roll back the sidewalk precisely at ten and people who live there are not seen again.

 

Just two lonely truckers from Great Falls, Montana and a salesman from places unknown

All huddled together in downtown, Toledo to spend their big night all alone.

 

You ask how I know of Toledo, Ohio? Well, I spent a week there one day.

They've got entertainment to dazzle your eyes: go visit the bakery and watch the buns rise.

 

Ah, but let's not forget that the folks of Toledo unselfishly gave us the scale.

"No springs, honest weight," that's the promise they made, so smile and be thankful next time you get weighed.

 

And "wive and wet wive", let this be our motto, let's let the sleeping dogs lie.

And here's to the dogs of Toledo, Ohio . . . . . ladies, we bid you goodbye!

[Pariah]

Toledo was just another good stop along the good king's highway

My fortification took me by surprise and hit me sending me sideways

Spellbound - Roundly - Good for sunshine

Can't help thinking

 

Singing the Rule Britannia

And this is where it grabs you

There's method in the key of C

Toledo's got to be the silver city

In this good country

 

Our song

It gives us a reason

Our song

That good remedy

Music has magic

That stuff of syncopation

 

Ever tried driving it to golden heights just simply jiving it

My mystification it got a jewel skies crazy spacing it

Hot sun - Crowded - Screams high voices

Singing speechless

 

Touching of the healing heart

So this is where we really start

Music is a shout of foregone conclusions

As long as music plays its part

Good good part

 

Our song

It gives us a reason

Our song

That good remedy

Music has magic

It's good clear syncopation

 

Treat it good

Treat it rightly

And if you get it flowing

The harmony is glowing

So get ready

So get ready

Don't go Toledo, Toledo don't go

Music 

Good to you

Music 

Good to you
