[death tribble]

I've seen you twice, in a short time

Only a week since we started

It seems to me, for every time

I'm getting more open-hearted

 

I was an impossible case

No-one ever could reach me

But I think I can see in your face

There's a lot you can teach me

So I wanna know..

 

What's the name of the game ?

Does it mean anything to you ?

What's the name of the game ?

Can you feel it the way I do ?

Tell me please, 'cause I have to know

I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

 

And you make me talk

And you make me feel

And you make me show

What I'm trying to conceal

If I trust in you, would you let me down ?

Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you ?

Could you feel the same way too ?

I wanna know..

 

The name of the game

 

I have no friends, no-one to see

And I am never invited

Now I am here, talking to you

No wonder I get excited

 

Your smile, and the sound of your voice

And the way you see through me

Got a feeling, you give me no choice

But it means a lot to me

So I wanna know..

 

What's the name of the game ? 

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Does it mean anything to you? 

(Got a feeling you give me no choice)

But it means a lot, what's the name of the game ? 

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Can you feel it the way I do ?

Tell me please, 'cause I have to know

I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

 

And you make me talk

And you make me feel

And you make me show

What I'm trying to conceal

If I trust in you, would you let me down ?

Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you ?

Could you feel the same way too ?

I wanna know..

Oh yes I wanna know..

 

The name of the game 

(I was an impossible case)

Does it mean anything to you ? 

(But I think I can see in your face)

That it means a lot

What's the name of the game ? 

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Can you feel it the way I do ? 

(Got a feeling you give me no choice)

But it means a lot, what's the name of the game ? 

(I was an impossible case)

Does it mean anything to you ? 

(But I think I can see in your face)

That it means a lot

[death tribble]

Love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me

I love you

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it ?

Don't you too ? 

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

 

Oh, I've been dreaming through my lonely past

Now I just made it, I found you at last

 

So come on, now let's try it, I love you, can't deny it

'Cos it's true

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

 

Oh, no hard feelings between you and me

If we can't make it, but just wait and see

 

So come on, now let's try it, I love you, can't deny it

'Cos it's true

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

So love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me

I love you

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it ?

Don't you too ? 

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

[death tribble]

When I said I needed you

You said you would always stay

It wasn't me who changed but you

And now you've gone away

 

Don't you see

That now you've gone

And I'm left here on my own

That I have to follow you

And beg you to come home ?

 

You don't have to say you love me

Just be close at hand

You don't have to stay forever

I will understand

Believe me, believe me

I can't help but love you

But believe me

I'll never tie you down

 

Left alone with just a memory

Life seems dead and so unreal

All that's left is loneliness

There's nothing left to feel

 

You don't have to say you love me

Just be close at hand

You don't have to stay forever

I will understand

Believe me, believe me

 

You don't have to say you love me

Just be close at hand

You don't have to stay forever

I will understand

Believe me, believe me, believe me

[death tribble]

Half past twelve

And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone

How I hate to spend the evening on my own

Autumn winds

Blowing outside the window as I look around the room

And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom

 

There's not a soul out there

No one to hear my prayer

 

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight

Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

 

Movie stars

Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win

It's so different from the world I'm living in

Tired of T.V.

I open the window and I gaze into the night

But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight

 

There's not a soul out there

No one to hear my prayer

 

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight

Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

 

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...

 

There's not a soul out there

No one to hear my prayer

 

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight

Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight

Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

If you knew Peggy Sue

Then you'd know why I feel blue

Without Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Oh well, I love you, gal

Yes, I love you Peggy Sue

 

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue

Oh, how my heart yearns for you

Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Oh well, I love you, gal

Yes, I love you Peggy Sue

 

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue

Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Oh well, I love you, gal

And I need you, Peggy Sue

 

I love you, Peggy Sue

With a love so rare and true

Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Well, I love you, gal

And I want you, Peggy Sue

 

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, 

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue

Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Oh well, I love you, gal

Yes, I need you, Peggy Sue

 

I love you, Peggy Sue

With a love so rare and true

Oh Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Oh well, I love you, gal

And I want you, Peggy Sue

 

Oh well, I love you gal

And I want you Peggy Sue

[Pariah]

When the lights die down and your blood runs cold

Then you know what you fear most is growing old

The clock winds down and the bells will toll

For the dawn that follows may require your soul

 

Through the narrows there are few who pass

Only the chosen enter in

Seek your calling while it may be found

 

For the sand in the hourglass is falling

We hang in the balance one by one

Turn from you ways the voice is calling

And fear the end of the age

 

Now the evil deed never goes unseen

And the wisdom of your wise men is unclean

For the pride of life and the lust for gain

Is a sickness of the heart, the Mark of Cain

 

Through the narrows there are few who pass

Only the chosen enter in

Seek your calling while it may be found

 

For the sand in the hourglass is falling

We hang in the balance one by one

Turn from you ways the voice is calling

And fear the end of the age

 

Sword and shield, the right hand of power's

Protecting us, directing us

He'll reveal the glory that's only His own

With a fire in the sky

 

When the mountains fall and the heavens roar

Then the reign of man will end forevermore

And the fools who believed in their empty ways

Will be witness to a world that's set ablaze

 

For the sand in the hourglass is falling

We hang in the balance one by one

Turn from you ways the voice is calling

And fear the end of the age

Fear the end of the age

The end of the age

[Pariah]

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury

I come before you to plead for the life of Leon McDuff

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury

I'm asking you to be the judge of when enough is enough

 

Now Leon McDuff has worked on his daddy's farm every day since the day that he was born

Plowing in the fields and hoeing in the garden and helping to pick the cotton and the corn

Then came the time of the Mississippi floods when all of his work went down the drain

His land was parched by the sun, blown by the wind, and finally washed away by the rain

 

So Leon went to his friends, trying to get help from the, but their crops and their money all were gone

So he went to the bank trying to mortgage his home, but the bank wouldn't give Leon a loan

He could not decide how his family could survive with no crop and no money to buy food

And as he struggled with his hands trying to rework his land, a notice came, said, "Your land tax is due"

 

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury

I come before you to plead for the life of Leon McDuff

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury

I'm asking you to be the judge of when enough is enough

 

In an air-conditioned office on the other side of town, there sat a government official with a frown

Seems he'd been trying all week long to find land to build a summer home, but cheap river land could not be found

And in the middle of his gloom, his boss walked in the the room and said, "I've got real good news for the house you've planned

See, there's this farmer who's so poor, and whose luck has gone so sour, he'll never pay the taxes on his land

 

"So you just wait a week or two, until the money's over due, then go to the cashier down the hall

Hold this deed in your hand and pay the taxes on his land, and then have the Sheriff give Leon McDuff a call

Then you can tell Leon to move by the last day of July, 'cause the taxes on his land are overdue

Tell him he's got to move away because his taxes were not paid, and then all that river land belongs to you"

 

That same air-conditioned office in a week or two, here comes the Sheriff saying, "I've got bad news

That old Leon McDuff knows he's had bad luck, he says he'll try to get the money, but he won't move"

Then that bureaucrat jumped up and grabbed the Sheriff by the arm and said, "We're going out to take his land today!"

So he and the Sheriff drove out to Leon's farm to tell the McDuffs to move away

 

There stood Leon on his land with a shotgun in his hand and his eyes were narrow beneath the brim of his hat

He said, "I've worked hard on this land as a boy and as a man, and I won't lose it now to no damn bureaucrat!"

Then that bureaucrat got mad and he grabbed the gun in Leon's and, and in the struggle an explosion cracked the air

And when the smoke and dust had cleared, and the ringing left their ears, the Sheriff, he lay dying on the ground

The Sheriff, he lay dying on the ground

 

Now on the table I will lay this here gun, Exhibit A, and it's covered with two set of fingerprints that you can't even see

Other hands were here, and none perceived, nor eye nor ear, just what triggered off this morbid tragedy

Now to me, it's still unclear what exactly caused the problem here, there's just too much you've got to know before you know enough

And while we can't find out today just where all the guilt should lay, it shouldn't be on Leon McDuff

 

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury

I come before you to plead for the life of Leon McDuff

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury

I'm asking you to be the judge of when enough is enough

It's just about enough

[death tribble]

Stand up all victims of oppression

For the tyrants fear your might

Don't cling so hard to your possessions

For you have nothing if you have no rights

Let racist ignorance be ended

For respect makes the empires fall

Freedom is merely privilege extended

Unless enjoyed by one and all

 

So come brothers and sisters

For the struggle carries on

The internationale

Unites the world in song

So comrades come rally

For this is the time and place

The international ideal

Unites the human race

 

Let no one build walls to divide us

Walls of hatred nor walls of stone

Come greet the dawn and stand beside us

We'll live together or we'll die alone

In our world poisoned by exploitation

Those who have taken now they must give

And end the vanity of nations

We've but one earth on which to live

 

And so begins the final drama

In the streets and in the fields

We stand unbowed before their armor

We defy their guns and shields

When we fight provoked by their aggression

Let us be inspired by like and love

For though they offer us concessions

Change will not come from above

[death tribble]

Mabuse

 

Why does it hurt when my heart misses the beat ?

The man without shadow promises you the world

Tell him your dreams and fanatical needs

He's buying them all with cash

 

Sell him your soul, sell him your soul, sell him your soul

Never look back, never look back

Sell him your soul, sell him your soul

Never look back, never look back, never look back

Sell him your soul, Mabuse

 

He's devoted to the devil, fascinated by crime

Glamorous death is his destination, eternal passion his gain

 

Sell him your soul, sell him your soul, sell him your soul

Never look back, never look back

Sell him your soul, sell him your soul

Never look back, never look back

Sell him your soul, sell him your soul

Never look back, Mabuse

 

Why does it hurt ? Why, why does it hurt ?

 

He's a satanic gambler, a beautiful fool

And you've already lost the chance of your lifetime

So don't be a fool, don't be a fool

Kein Zurueck fuer dich, there's no way back

Sell him your soul

 

Warum schmerzt es

Warum schmerzt es

Wenn mein Herz den Schlag verpasst ?

 

Don't be a fool

Never look back

[Greywind]

You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue but I can't take a chance on a chick like you
That's something I couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild
Ah, but girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now you're so cute, I like your style
And I know what you mean when you give me a flash of that smile (smile)
But girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

[Greywind]

Lay your head on my chest so you hear every beat of my heart
Now there's nothing at all that can keep us apart
Touch my lips, close your eyes and see with your fingertips
Things that you do, and you know I'm crazy 'bout you

Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions
I've had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to this
Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire

When you sleep by my side I feel safe and I know I belong
Still it's making me scared that my love is so strong
Losing you is a nightmare fate and to me it's new
Never before did you see me begging for more

Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions
I've had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to this
Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire

Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
(I'm at the point of no returning)
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
(Caught in a land-slide of emotions)
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I'm at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions

[Pariah]

Three pretenders forced their entry

There wasn't time to defend or attack

Somewhere inside I held their fury

But one by one my defenses began to crack

 

The first became a voice from my childhood

Without a world to call his own

Asking questions but doubting the answers

And too confused to stand up and face it alone

 

I can feel my body tremble

Like an animal under the gun

Can you feel your body tremble

Look in and see the eyes of Three Pretenders

 

The second came a shadowy hustler

Selling anything not nailed to the ground

He put a price on my resistance

And if it's high, I know he'll be marking it down

 

The third became a mysterious traveller

Stormy words like sea-weathered sails

His life was scarred with peaks and valleys

A haunted kingdom crumbling against the gales

 

I can feel my body tremble

Like a child afraid of the dark

Can you feel your body tremble

Look in and see the eyes of Three Pretenders

[Greywind]

New love is calling me
Old love has set me free
Old love is just some tears I cried
New love is walking by my side
And it's so right, and it's so fine
It's new love and it's mine, all mine

I've been walking down the same old street
Going nowhere, shuffling my feet
The lonely nights never seemed to end
There was just no reason to start again

But now, new love is calling me
Old love has set me free
Old love is just some tears I cried
New love is walking by my side
And all I want, yes indeed
It's new love and it's all I need

She said "You need me, and I need you"
And she knows how it feels, 'cause she's been there too
She took my hand and the pain was gone
She gave me hope and a brand new song

New love is calling me
Old love has set me free
Old love is just some tears I cried
New love is walking by my side

New love is calling me
Old love has set me free
Old love is just a memory
New love is calling me
It's calling me
It's calling me
Calling me

[Greywind]

Maybe it's too late but this feelin is runnin through my soul
I think I learned what love is but I'm afraid I let it go
Maybe it's too late, maybe you've already changed your mind
Turned lovin into leavin and I'm on the outside
You can't take these words to bed with you and hold onto them at night
They can't erase the emptiness and make everything alright
But your laughter and your tenderness will never disappear
No matter where you are tonight a part of you is here with me
Here with me, I don't know where you are, all I know is I need you to be
Here with me, I know it's not to late, to turn around and get it straight
It's not fate to have you here with me
I can hear your voice promising your love will never die
I can feel your golden skin on mine beneath the desert sky
So how can it be true, how can you just turn and let me go
Let the story of your life with mine forever go untold
I can't take these words to bed with me and hold onto them at night
They can't erase the emptiness and make everything alright
Cause your laughter and your tenderness will never disappear
No matter where you are tonight a part of you is here with me
Here with me, I don't know where you are, all I know is I need you to be
Here with me, I know it's not too late, to turn around and get it straight
It's not fate to have you here with me

Here with me, I don't know where you are, all I know is I need you to be
Here with me, I know it's not to late, to turn around and get it straight
It's not fate to have you here with me

Here with me, I don't know where you are, all I know is I need you to be
Here with me, I know it's not to late, to turn around and get it straight
It's not fate to have you here with me

[Greywind]

I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The gods may throw the dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain?

But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say?
Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all

I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all...

[Greywind]

Life isn't easy from the singular side
Down in the hole some emotions are hard to hide
It's your decision, it's the chance that you take
It's on your head, it's a habit that's hard to break

Do you need a friend, would you tell no lies
Would you take me in, are you lonely in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark

You never listen to the voices inside
They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide
You're never sure if the illusion is real
You pinch yourself but the memories are all you feel

Can you break away from your alibies
Can you make a play, will you meet me in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark, ah ah ah

Don'tcha need me, hey, hey
Don'tcha need me, oh yea
Don'tcha need me, hey, hey
Don'tcha need me, oh yea

You take no interest, no opinion's to dear
You make the rounds and you try to be so sincere
You guard your hopes and you pocket your dreams
You'd trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene

Can you face the fire when you see me there
Can you feel the fire, will you love me in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark, ah ah ah ah

[death tribble]

Some things you never get used to
Even though you're feeling like another man
There's nothing that he can do for you
To shut me away as you walk through
Lovers laughing in their amateur hour
Holding hands in the corridors of power
Even though I'm with somebody else right now

High fidelity
Can you hear me ?

There's a new kind of dedication
Maybe you'll find it down the tunnel
Maybe I got above my station
Maybe you're only changing channel

Even though you're nowhere near me
And I know you kiss him so sincerely now
Even though the signal's indistinct
And you worry what silly people think
Who just can't wait to feel so frozen out
I bet he thinks that he was chosen out of millions
I suppose he'll never know about

 

High fidelity
Can you hear me?

 

[death tribble]

Come on girls

Do you believe in love ?

'Cause I got something to say about it

And it goes something like this

 

Don't go for second best baby

Put your love to the test

You know, you know, you've got to

Make him express how he feels

And maybe then you'll know your love is real

 

You don't need diamond rings

Or eighteen karat gold

Fancy cars that go very fast

You know they never last, no, no

What you need is a big strong hand

To lift you to your higher ground

Make you feel like a queen on a throne

Make him love you till you can't come down

(You'll never come down)

 

Long stem roses are the way to your heart

But he needs to start with your head

Satin sheets are very romantic

What happens when you're not in bed

You deserve the best in life

So if the time isn't right then move on

Second best is never enough

You'll do much better baby on your own

(Baby on your own)

 

Express yourself

(You've got to make him)

Express himself

Hey, hey, hey, hey

So if you want it right now, make him show you how

Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not

 

And when you're gone he might regret it

Think about the love he once had

Try to carry on, but he just won't get it

He'll be back on his knees

 

To express himself

(You've got to make him)

Express himself

Hey hey

 

What you need is a big strong hand

To lift you to your higher ground

Make you feel like a queen on a throne

Make him love you till you can't come down

(You'll never come down)

 

So please

 

Express yourself

(You've got to make him)

Express himself

Hey, hey, hey, hey

So if you want it right now, make him show you how

Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not

Express yourself

(You've got to make him)

So you can respect yourself

Hey, hey

So if you want it right now, then make him show you how

Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not

[Pariah]

And she pours herself another cup of coffee

As she contemplates the stain across the wall

and it's in between the cleaning and the washing

That's when looking back's the hardest part of all

 

And she always did her best to try and please him

While he always did his best to make her cry

And she got down on her knees to stop him leaving

But he always knew one day he'd say goodbye

 

Where are your friends, where are your children?

Is this your house is this your home?

Does nothing ever last forever?

Does everybody sleep alone?

 

And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase

As he packs away the pieces of his life

They all love him but they always try to change him

That's what happens when a girl becomes a wife

 

And she pours herself another cup of coffee

As the pictures leave a clean space on the wall

and it's in between the leaving and the loving

That's when looking back's the hardest part of all

 

Where are your friends, where are your children?

Is this your house is this your home?

Does nothing ever last forever?

Does everybody sleep alone?

 

Don't look back and don't give up

Pour yourself another cup

[death tribble]

Mama, take this badge off of me

I can't use it anymore.

It's gettin' dark, too dark to see

I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

 

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

 

Mama, put my guns in the ground

I can't shoot them anymore.

That long black cloud is comin' down

I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

 

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

[death tribble]

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?

Ooh heaven is a place on earth

They say in heaven love comes first

We'll make heaven a place on earth

Ooh heaven is a place on earth

 

When the night falls down

I wait for you

And you come around

And the world's alive

With the sound of kids

On the street outside

 

When you walk into the room

You pull me close and we start to move

And we're spinning with the stars above

And you lift me up in a wave of love...

 

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?

Ooh heaven is a place on earth

They say in heaven love comes first

We'll make heaven a place on earth

Ooh heaven is a place on earth

 

When I feel alone

I reach for you

And you bring me home

When I'm lost at sea

I hear your voice

And it carries me

 

In this world we're just beginning

To understand the miracle of living

Baby I was afraid before

But I'm not afraid anymore

 

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?

Ooh heaven is a place on earth

They say in heaven love comes first

We'll make heaven a place on earth

Ooh heaven is a place on earth

 

In this world we're just beginning

To understand the miracle of living

Baby I was afraid before

But I'm not afraid anymore

 

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?

Ooh heaven is a place on earth

They say in heaven love comes first

We'll make heaven a place on earth

Ooh heaven is a place on earth

My, my, my, my

Don't you worry 'bout what's on your mind (oh my)
I'm in no hurry I can take my time (oh my)
I'm going red and my tongue's getting tied (tongue's getting tied)
I'm off my head and my mouth's getting dry
I'm high, but I try, try, try (oh my)

Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now
My-my-my-my, oh my

I feel so strong that I can't disguise (oh my)
Let's spend the night together
But I just can't apologize (oh no)
Let's spend the night together
Don't hang me up and don't let me down (don't let me down)
We could have fun just groovin' around around and around
And oh my, my

Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together

Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever

You know I'm smiling baby
You need some guiding baby
I'm just deciding, baby; now

I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together
Let's spend the night together now
Oh m-my-my-my-my-my-my

This doesn't happen to me every day (oh my)
Let's spend the night together
No excuses offered anyway (oh my)
Let's spend the night together

I'll satisfy your every need (your every need)
And now I know you will satisfy me
Oh m-my-my-my-my-my

Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now

Oh m-my-my-my-my-my-my
(Let's spend the night together)
Now I need you, need you more than ever, woman
(Let's spend the night together)

I'll satisfy your every need, woman
(Let's spend the night together)
Now I know, I know you'll satisfy me, whoa, my-my
(Let's spend the night together)

I beg you, baby, oh my-my-my-my-my-my
(Let's spend the night together)
A-come on, now, oh baby, my-my-my-my
(Let's spend the night together)

I can look through every lens

Infinite pressure, when beginnings meet their ends

If entropy rules the space between us

We just might implode from the pull of the thrust

 

I could be your love

Or maybe just a friend

Maybe I need to readjust my lens

 

Two spheres of energy preparing to explode

Or perhaps we will collapse beyond the point of clarity

Into singularity

 

I can look through telescopes

Searching for someone or something to give us hope

Maybe inside the event horizon

We just might collide with the universe outside

 

Singularity

Beyond the point of clarity

 

We could be in love

Or maybe it's just the end

Maybe I need to readjust my little lens

I got a big foam finger

I got a new routine

I'm gonna turn the tables

Rooting for the enemy!

 

I got a t-shirt and pompoms

You know this stuff ain't free

I spent seventeen dollars

Rooting for the enemy

 

It's a little counter-intuitive

It's a paradoxical scheme

Cause you'd think it'd be all be ruined

If I backed the other team

 

You know I got a new perspective

I don't expect you to come along

I got a new hat and banner

And I got a new song

 

(Rooting for the enemy) I got a new routine

(Rooting for the enemy) Gonna turn the tables

(Rooting for the enemy) I got a T-shirt and pompoms

(Rooting for the enemy) You know this stuff ain't free!

I got a big foam finger...

Warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control

Somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole

There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town

Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down

There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell

There's leaking in the washroom there's a sneak in personnel

Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze

Goodness me, could this be Industrial Disease?

 

The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post

They're refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most

The watchdog's got rabies the foreman's got fleas

And everyone's concerned about Industrial Disease

There's panic on the switchboard tongues are tied in knots

Some come out in sympathy some come out in spots

Some blame the management some the employees

And everybody knows it's the Industrial Disease

 

The work force is disgusted downs tools and walks

Innocence is injured experience just talks

Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees

That these are 'classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze'

On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse

Philosophy is useless theology is worse

History boils over there's an economics freeze

Sociologists invent words that mean 'Industrial Disease'

 

Doctor Parkinson declared 'I'm not surprised to see you here

You've got smokers cough from smoking, brewer's droop from drinking beer

I don't know how you came to get the Betty Davis knees

But worst of all young man you've got Industrial Disease'

He wrote me a prescription he said 'You are depressed

But I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest

Come back and see me later - next patient please

Send in another victim of Industrial Disease'

 

Ha!

Splendid!

 

I go down to Speaker's Corner I'm thunderstruck

They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks

Two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong

There's a protest singer singing a protest song - he says

'they want to have a war to keep us on our knees

They want to have a war to keep their factories

They want to have a war to stop us buying Japanese

They want to have a war to stop Industrial Disease

 

They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind

They want to sap your energy incarcerate your mind

They give you Rule Brittania, gassy beer, page three

Two weeks in Espana and Sunday striptease'

Meanwhile the first Jesus says 'I'd cure it soon

Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons'

The other one's on a hunger strike he's dying by degrees

How come Jesus gets Industrial Disease
