Allman Brothers Band | You Don't Love Me | /a/allman+brothers+band/you+dont+love+me_10007792.html | You don't love me, pretty baby,
You don't love me, yes I know.
You don't love me, pretty baby
You don't love me, yes I know.
Well if you leave me, pretty baby
Don't you know you're gonna hurt me so.
Well I'm gonna tell my mother,
I'm gonna talk to my father too.
Well I'm gonna tell my sweet mother,
I'll have a word with my father too.
Well I'm gonna tell everybody,
What those young girls will do to you.
Goodbye now, pretty baby,
If I don't see you no more.
Lord, goodbye now, pretty baby,
If I never see you no more.
Well if you think I'll be your fool, Lord,
You better be on your merry way.

Alphaville | Afternoons In Utopia | /a/alphaville/afternoons+in+utopia_20006805.html | Acrobats and comets floating by so fast
Children's faces smile like suns at last
Lilac butterflies are cruising without fear
All inviting you to stay and rest here
You can halt your car for an afternoon in utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in utopia
Mighty Mao moondog drifts across the grass
Healing lullabies for easter time on mars
Paint your hats and shoues with flowers and with stars
Singing in metropolitan operas
You can halt your car for an afternoon in utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in utopia

Alphaville | Ain't It Strange | /a/alphaville/aint+it+strange_20006850.html | Ain't it strange that we destroy
What we embrace
And we leave
What we seek
It's such a shame
Ain't it strange that we smile
When we cry
And no one knows why we are here
And where we going to
Ain't it strange
We could be, we could be so good together
Ain't it strange that we share what we hate
That we break what we love
It's such a shame
Ain't it strange when we pray, we betray anyway
And no one knows what we are for
Why we're so tough
When we're so fragile
Ain't it strange
Ain't it strange, still we could fall into a dream, I'd wish no one
Will catch that fall
For we could fall for love, life is but a dream, life is but a dream
All the tears in the world not in vain for the pain is gone, the
Shame is washed away
When we're all one, life is but a dream, life is but a dream
It's hard to believe after thousands of years
The world is still drowning in blood and tears
We've been quite advanced but again we fail
It is dog eats dog on the ratrace trail
It is getting too much and we're getting nowhere
While hatred and fear is all that we share
I can't take it no more when I'm watching the news
We must stick together or we're bound to lose

Alphaville | Apollo | /a/alphaville/apollo_20006852.html | Show me a place that ain't hell
If there's space, give me room to breathe
That's all that I need for this body can't fail
And if music be the food of love
Play on, give me excess of it
Let it all out, please let me out of here
And I shall rise from the ashes
Grow like a rose from the ruins
There must be light in the darkness
Hope at the end of the night
Yes, I've been tryin' all my
Life to get to heaven
But awoke in the eye of the storm
But I shall rise from the ashes
Grow from the ruins and return back home
This is a call from the goals coming up
To the prisoners of pleasure
Drunk on the blood of the next generations
And I've been through many strange confusions
Splitting myself into to many faces
Now the mirror is broken
I can see the worms behind
You may well have your ways of triumph
You may well have your ways of truth
Just gimme some room to breathe
That's all that I need
Me and my strange friends
We all belong to the grand astral body
Take my hand and I take you out of here
And there's you behind those legendary curtains
Take my hand before you wither in the crowd
And I take you out of here
This is the end of the show I don't know
Was I wrong was I right
Oh love, I don't know, I wasn't perfect for sure
But now I feel like a new born baby
Lying in the dew of the morning
Laughing at the sky like a brave new Apollo

Alphaville | Ariana | /a/alphaville/ariana_20006817.html | Driving down the streets, listening to the radio
What do I get: ariana
Reading the papers and the news they scream
Haven't you heard: ariana
She rules the business, she's sucha restless genuine juvenile
Everyone knows, wherever she goes
She got chique, she got class, she got style
Arianamaniacs rulr the world, haven't you heard
Arianamania sets the scenes on fire
We're goin' nutz for ariana
We're goin' carazzy forrr herrr
Everything glows, wherever she goes
She got sex from her lips to her toes
All the casanovas, even zombies agree
With the hummingbirds and the beasts from the sea
Ariana's a real sensation
When will she be on the screeeeeen

Alphaville | Ascension Day | /a/alphaville/ascension+day_20006853.html | These are the days of evil perfection
This is the world of torture and fame
This is the age of most vicious infection
These are the times of terror and pain
Let them inside and they build you a nightmare
Show them, you fool, it'll not be in vain
Here is your costume of deepest surrender
These are the times of terror and pain
I want to ride on a crest of sensation
I want to scream in the whirlpools of love
I want to drown in a climax of thunder
I want to be with the fools in the storm
Do what you want and then die when you want to
We're gonna walk on the blood of the meek
We're gonna sail through the oceans of wonder
We're gonna live in the dreams that we seek
Send in the parasite clowns on their horses
Send in the idiots and let them advance
Send in the monsters of your own creation
Send them all in and give them a chance
We're gonna dance to the sweetest of music
We're gonna play with the whores in the rain
We'll dissipate the lord's last temptations
All in a crossfire of torture and fame

Alphaville | Carol Masters | /a/alphaville/carol+masters_20006806.html | she sits by the window, stares into the night
just waiting for a foreign sound from outside
far beyond the atmospheres, she is listening for a call to take her homewards
to herself
oh, i love you so
he who's master of the icy shots won't harm you in the morning
she knows that the pavement's hard, there between the stars
to travel on to martian homesick city
she is weeping silently but there's not a tear
just raindrops falling from the painted ceiling
the dance of the foraging bee will number all the things
she has been longing for all of her life
i will not pass this night in vain, she says
i'll stand this kind of rain
i know the way, i'll find the path
yes, carol wants to go to mars, back where the red-cold sun is sinking
to the channels of a'daar
day breaks through the grating
someone moves a chair
and sunlight blisters dazzling on a glass
take a pill and greet the day for sedative holidays
why aren't you sleeping in the night
oh, i love you so
he who's master of the icy shots won't harm you till the evening
we shall meet tomorrow night
and i'll kiss you just as tenderly as cygnus kissed the deserts

Alphaville | Five Years | /a/alphaville/five+years_20006895.html | Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much, his face was wet, then I knew, he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and tv's
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store, everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl of my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an icecream parlour
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
I don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it raind, so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes, we've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot, we've got five years, that's all
we've got
We've got five years...

Alphaville | For The Sake Of Love | /a/alphaville/for+the+sake+of+love_20006896.html | I forgive, I forgive
I forgive all my friends who left me alone, I forgive the wall that it had so
many stones
I forgive the lord that he never sent a priest, I forgive the hangman, I
forgive the beast
I forgive the winter that it was so cold, I forgive my father that he was so
bold
I forgive the ashes that they couldn't stay flames, I forgive the acid, I
forgive the rains
I forgive James Joyce that I couldn't read his books,
I forgive that you've never given back what you took
I forgive the puzzle that I didn't fit, I forgive the shit that I couldn't
write a hit
I forgive the dog that she never came home, I forgive all the ways that they
always lead to rome
I forgive the worm in the very last tree, I forgive the girls who haven't
forgiven me
I forgive inspiration when it came to late, I forgive all the ladies when I
had to wait
I forgive superman that I didn't stay clean, I forgive, I forgive, anyone,
anything
For the sake of love, for the sake of love
For the sake of love
I forgive the angels who could never take me high,
I forgive all my dreams that I couldn't really fly
I forgive the thought that I couldn't stop thinking,
I forgive all the drinks that I couldn't stop drinking
I forgive the clock that it didn't wake me up, I forgive the driver, I forgive
the cab
I forgive all the moments that they wouldn't stay, I forgive all the years
that they've flown away
I forgive the promises that they've been broken, I forgive the curses that
they have been spoken
I forgive all the prophets and the saints of the past, I forgive the stars
when they fell too fast
I forgive the joke that it didn't make me laugh, I forgive desire that I had
to starve
I forgive all the love for the sake of love, I forgive all sakes for the fake
above
For the sake of love, for the sake of love
For the sake of love

Alphaville | Forever Young | /a/alphaville/forever+young_20006842.html | Let's start in style, let's dance for a while,
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies.
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst,
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man.
Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden faces into the sun,
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madman.
Forever young,
I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young,
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young.
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun,
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today,
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Oh let them come true
Forever young,
I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever, and ever?
Forever young,
I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever young?
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever, and ever?
Forever young,
I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever?

Alphaville | Giants | /a/alphaville/giants_20206860.html | Be on your guard when you sit in the open places
because I'm blessed with all the wonders of the sun
when tigers, palmtrees, rattlesnakes unfold their graces
that kind of magic you may get a sunburn from
and there's no better way for us than our old sweet ways
and angels burn to dust before the human race
we're giants under a rainbow
we're stranded east of eden
Sometimes we're crying in the afterglow
in a world of broken toys, how can we live without them
freedom that is what you are always screaming
it is a scream but more a nightmare than a laugh
those without faith are liars even when they're dreaming
I'd put my faith in god if he knew how to dance
but there's no devil in the darkness, no demon in the skies
nothing to be afraid of, cross my heart and hope to die
freedom...
Freedom...

Alphaville | Girl From Pachacamac | /a/alphaville/girl+from+pachacamac_20207982.html | I wish I'd had the time to look into your eyes
And quietly say the words
The words that you'd expect
I wish I'd touched your face
And you would hold my hand
Then tears were on our guard
And silence was our friend
And we would leave behind the chaos in our lifes
The struggle and the strife and the black and white
And all the letters that we wrote
Would be printed out in gold
In our memories to behold
Without explanations
To be told...
I dreamt I had the time to listen what you'd say
And what you'd say was true and we could start anew
I saw u bachstage in that chair
Dressed up in lies but oh so fair
And then I took you by the hand and off we went
And we just drank to quench our thirst
That never dies and always burns
Deep in the night out on the streets
I'd like to kiss you too but it wouldn't do
And all the poems that we wrote
Would be printed out in gold
In our memories to behold
Without explanations
To be told...
And we would leave behind the chaos in our lifes
The struggle and the strife and the black and white
And all the letters that we wrote
Would be printed out in gold
In our memory to behold without explanations...
And we just drink to quench our thirst
That never dies and always burns
Deep in the night out on the streets
I'd like to kiss you too without explanations..
To be told.

Alphaville | Golden Feeling | /a/alphaville/golden+feeling_20006897.html | Though this place is so crowded
You feel so alone 'cause you're eye to eye with him
And you know he will take you
He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win
Desperados in love won't kill this sweet dove
For nuggets of fleeting bliss
C'mon, c'mon you can't escape
The bleeding bullet of a kiss
Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine
It's a new situation
The start of a game, you've already won the prize
He's a lunatic dancer
Who's not aware that he's skating on thin ice
There's no turning back
No time for regrets, you should've known better, though
Another chance to fall in love
Another chance to turn you on
Another chance to turn you on
Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine

Alphaville | Guardian Angel | /a/alphaville/guardian+angel_20006868.html | Be my guard just for tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Take me under your wing, I can't make it anymore
I am so full of fear, may you read a book to me
And when the shadows grow, won't you stay with me
Will you be my guard tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Will you be my guard tonight, that is all I need to know
Be my guard beside my bed, that is all I need to know
Will you please hold my hand, don't you ever let it go
All the wonders of the world
For a little second more
I can't speak but can't you see
It's your touch I'm crying for
Will you be my guard tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Will you be my guard tonight, that is all I need to know
Be my guard just until dawn
When I can hear the birds again
I'm as helpless as can be
Will you guard my little flame
If we never meet again
You shall always keep in mind
That you were my guard tonight
That you were my guard tonight
Will you be my guard tonight

Alphaville | Headlines | /a/alphaville/headlines+demo+1_20211775.html | We call ourselves the crown of creation
I wonder what does it mean
We're not the owners of the moon and the earth
It's like a roundabout
And it goes round and round for free
We've made some gruesome inventions
Yet we're mastered by those systems
We're endangered danger, we're running out of fashion
If we don't care for responsibility, hey-hey
We're endangered danger, we're endangered danger
We're the headlines today but all that we say is
We're endangered danger
Eric says that we're a lonely species
That's why we're playing the fools
But once we'll enter the aquarian age
I sometimes catch him floating in his swimming-pool
He says
If we'd tune in to our brighter sides
We'd feel like Jesus on the waters
Cause we're sailors not soldiers
So much more for this show
Than a guest-appearance in the universe, here we go
We're endangered danger, we're endangered danger
We're the headlines today but all that we say is
We're endangered danger

Alphaville | Heart Of The Flower | /a/alphaville/heart+of+the+flower_20006898.html | Now at the station, the train to another land
Lands of never seen light
Light hidden in infinite night
Night in it's biggest might, might of the strongest power
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
The waiting room of kingdom come,
I look back upon my life
Life of loss but now the end
End of rat race overdrive
Overdrive to foreign lands
Lands of contemptuous hours
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
Now on the train
This is the end of my day
I feel my spirits escape like a musical clock
That's dying away
I turn once again and wave my hand
And say goodbye
I never thought it's so easy
I never thought it's so easy
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
i take the first train to the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
The heart of the flower
The heart of the flower
The heart of the flower

Alphaville | Heaven Or Hell | /a/alphaville/heaven+or+hell_20006819.html | Once I awoke
The shadow of your smile had crossed my mind
How could I know this was your last goodbye
That's slipping through the windmills of the night
You never understand when she's talking to you,
Little boy
You never understand when she's talking to you
She's too far away
Is it heaven or hell
We're drifting in the wake of our dreams
And the world is a clown who cries
And no one can tell is it real
Once I cried
Whenever I awoke without you
A stranger in the thunder of the dark
I'm praying to the sun to shine tonite
You never understand when she's talking to you,
Mon amour
You never understand when she's talking to you
She's too far away...

Alphaville | Here By Your Side | /a/alphaville/here+by+your+side_20006899.html | When you feel so far away
Though you're close to everything
And the feeling of estrangement's
Creeping up on spider's legs
Even in these days of wonder
Even in the age of faith
There are some who goin' under
There are some who got it made
In the middle of the night
When the last of god has died
And the only thing you've got
Is the tic toc of the clock
I'm here by your side
In these days full of wonder
So you passed so many years
In a labyrinth of traces
Running round and round they led
To no one but yourself

Alphaville | Iron John | /a/alphaville/iron+john_20006858.html | If you open up the cage
You will hurt yourself
The king said it's forbidden
Or you may get hell
But the prisoner lets you know
Where to find the key
Under her satin pillow
Yes, there it has to be
Modesty is fine but it doesn't take you very far
When you make your decision
Don't be afraid of the dark
Longing for the golden ball
That it will be yours for keeps
Be sure about it as you saw
So shall you reap
Lets take a ride on Iron John's shoulders
He has more gold than anybody in this world
Lets take a ride, hey-ho on Iron John
He has more gold
Than anybody in this world
Jump on the train to nowhere
From now on you are free
After rising from the ashes
You'll become a mystery
Too many of those strange injections, too many gazes at the sun
The lady says, well that's the business, running after No. 1
For all their childish daydreams you caught their falling stars
Just for the cheapest contracts you signed your autographs
And if you started much too early, therefore you stopped too late
Make sure no one can stop you now, here comes the ultimate
Lets take a ride
He will be with you, he will be there when you call out the magic words
Lets take a ride

Alphaville | Ivory Tower | /a/alphaville/ivory+tower_20006859.html | Here is the news from my little hideaway
My sweet Ivory Tower
I've sent you songs about so many thing
Mighty moon dogs skipping waves
Dolphins playing their lives away
Golden circus girls and pharaohs
Fallen angels, street side Romeos
Patricia's park and Anyway
Eternal youth and never ending summer days
Lonely girls, music halls, the mysteries of love
In the event that I don't return
Please take this message to understand
In the event
I am a stranger in a strange land
Welcome, stranger, to the land of the free
Welcome, Carol, to Phantasy
Oh my God, I feel so alone
A million light years far from home
It seems to be a tragedy
How can I live in Germany?
Another house is burning down
It's time to face the cruel reality
This is a game no more
Disasters in the 20th Century
In the event that I don't return
Please take this message to understand
In the event that I don't return

Alphaville | Middle Of The Riddle | /a/alphaville/middle+of+the+riddle_20006820.html | At the edge of the moon there's a lonely man
And he blows on his horn as strong as he can
And the girl at the bar wipes the breath
Of winter away with a smile of her face
And a little black dog barks along with a loon
Is this my appointment or did I come too soon
Got a strange invitation for tea time
'Twas given by somebody I can't recall
It's the middle of the riddle, it's not very serious
It's nothing but a big surprise
And the president's horse is a rabbit of course
That is living in a big boy's mind
Living in a big boy's mind
And I skate on a knife on a wire
That is strung from this song to a distant shore
And then I say
Intuition is just another phase of chance
While we're crawling through the old pyramid's floors
(little pharaohs)
And the little black dog, here it comes again
It's a true companion in a foreign land
On a quest for the valley of boojums
And birthdays and phonecalls I cannot recall
All of man shan't talk to the one at the helm
And the man at the helm shall talk to no one
Shall talk to no one at all
(Rule 42)
And a horse is a rabbit of course
(yes, indeed)
Yes, a horse is a rabbit of course

Alphaville | Monkey In The Moon | /a/alphaville/monkey+in+the+moon_20006871.html | Once I was so sure, once I was so blind
Wonder what you said if you read my mind
Angel in a car, devil on a cross
Scarecrows in the fields, Jesus on the rocks
Letters in the rain, rabbit on the run
God was made for you, lizards for the sun
Monkey in the moon, I can see you through
Monkey in the moon, this one's made for you
Flower in a word, words without a priest
Wings without a bird, beauty without beast
Signal overkill, trains are overdue
Fool upon a hill, ocean overview
Letters in the rain. . .
Fool upon a hill, trains are overdue
Except what we forgot nothing's really new
Head above the clouds, eyes are opened wide
Windmill burning down, walk into the light
Walk into the light
Monkey in the moon...
Letters in the rain
This one's

Alphaville | Moon Boy | /a/alphaville/moon+boy_20258122.html | you gave me strength, you pushed the blades away from me
oh how we dreamt to change the world
and we would never give in, no matter what they say
a really cool connection in a cruel world
you led me through the nights - and through the hardest fights
we dreamt wed be the ones - and we would never lose
you made me speechless - and fearless - yet it made you fearless too
oh how we dreamt to be so fearless - no matter what they do
i dont know where you are now - we shared a dream of being together
you led me to the light, yeah - for this i would like to thank you forever
moonboy...
youve been around, a distant star, youve seen them come and go
those unknown chaps without a slightest chance
i know, all without faith are liars even when theyre dreaming
id even put my faith in god if he knew how to dance
our minds are filled with crazy dreams - they seem to be unreachable
but if you give them up they stay - till someone else takes them away
i met you in this hotel hall - oh nino, aint it hard
not to be understood
but all you said was: hey, i just wanna sing (like an angel)
i dont know where you are now - we shared a dream of being together
you led me to the light, yeah - for this i would like to thank you forever
moonboy...
i dont know where you are now - you come and go whenever you like..
just believe in your powers - you might find out youre invincible...
no matter what they say...

Alphaville | New Horizons | /a/alphaville/new+horizons_20006872.html | Once, we were together
Once we were one
Once we were running, we knew where we came from
We were the music, we heard the call
We were giants after the fall
Once we were children, once we were so small
To the new horizons I cast my eyes
When I look at you reaching out to the new horizons
Once and today
Once and today
Once, we were divided, once, we lost our sight
Once, we were freezing in the tv light
You are a rainbow, you're looking fine
Shall we make it one more time
To the new horizons I cast my eyes
When I look at you reaching out to the new horizons
Once and today
Once and today
You are a rainbow

I follow you most anywhere
Roll away the stone,
Roll away the stone
And in the darkest night,
I'll keep you safe and alright
Roll away the stone,
Roll away the stone
Won't you roll away the stone,
Why be cold and so alone
Won't you roll away the stone,
Don't you let it lie
No matter if fools say we can't win,
I know I'll fall in love again
Roll away the stone,
Roll away the stone
So sing, we still got a chance,
Baby for love and sweet romance
Roll away the stone,
Roll away the stone
Won't you roll away the stone
Don't you let it die
Just kick it away

Alphaville | Sensations | /a/alphaville/sensations_20006813.html | listen to the news, changes are coming soon
atlantic engineers and cities in the moon
you better look across the ocean, tell me what you see
the southern cross explodes into the colours of the sea
mighty maomoondog skips across the waves
kick the door and hit the shore and be somebody else
supersonic landscapes are melting in your hair
bubblegum comediens planting skylarks in the air
here we go with the new sensation
we're on every station
such a kind of a legend to turn you on
dig that rhythm, genie and listen to the voice of the dolphins
listen to your radio
all across the planet, politicians tremble
continental sister's rocking with the liquid gambler
now the time is here, now it's coming true
the enigmatic extasy is overwhelming you
acrobats and comets are streaking by
40.000 sirens are wailing at the sky
innersexual circuits are cruising without fear
all inviting you for partytiming here
that's the start of the new sensation..
...dig that band
listen to me, listen to the voice of the dolphin
you better return to the sea
listen to his majesty
you better return to the sea
you better return to me..

Alphaville | Shadows She Said | /a/alphaville/shadows+she+said_20212101.html | There's no more place to go
the other bars are closed
the night the stranger came to town
how do you know
when you're right or wrong?
How do you know
if you hurt or if you don't?
So many people say so many things
but nobody agrees on anything
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
this night's an empty shell
shadows she said
and all the shadows followed after her
you burned the book of life
the cradle and the tomb
how could you ever dare
there's no more turning back
your stars lit up in flames
there's gunsmoke in the air
and yesterday you bought a brand-new car
but you don't feel like going very far
there's no more place to go...
There's no more place to go
shadows she said
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
this night's an empty shell
shadows she said
and all the shadows followed after her
here they come...
Shadows she said...
And all the shadows followed after her...
Shadows she said...

Alphaville | Ship Of Fools | /a/alphaville/ship+of+fools_20217460.html | Did you know when the journey started
That wed ever reach that point
Many years we sailed together
Now its time to say goodbye
You don't know what I've been going through
haven't heard that much from you
Isolation is a nice flower
Now I wonder what to do
You never know when your dreams come true
Is it good for you, is it good for you
On our ship of fools were drifting along the shores never seen before
When you told me that youre leaving
Cause the stakes were much too high
I was wondring why you said so
Since we still got wings to fly
I will never ever give up
Just as long as I am here
Till the end Ill spread my wings
And raise my dreams against your fears
You never know when your dreams come true
Is it good for you, is it good for you
On our ship of fools were drifting along the shores never seen before...

Alphaville | Sister Sun | /a/alphaville/sister+sun_20006919.html | Tell me is it really true
There's something goin' on
Outside
I just can feel it
I heard it on the radio
I'm not allowed to go
Outside
I can't believe it
There's a big hole in the sky
Where the radiation's breaking through
And we just sit and stare
Like the rabbit at the snake
There's so much we could do
But we gotta do it now
Cause it's gettin' pretty late
Better hurry now
We all need the sun
We need love and light for everyone
We need our atmosphere
To live in here
We could be so strong
We overthrow the government and stop
What's goin' wrong
We're fighting for the sun
It's really hard to understand
The change of sister sun
As if your sunny smile
Would turn into a deadly one
It's not a quality of life
To live inside a mighty trap
To have that ice-cold coke beyond the radiation gap
There should be more resistance
Against industrial trusts
And if there's no solution, there should be revolution
I wonder if we start in time, we're racing with the seconds
I wonder if we've got enough to talk to stupid politicians
We all need the sun...
Hold on to revolution... Members of the earth, lets fighting for the sun

Alphaville | Soul Messiah | /a/alphaville/soul+messiah_20006875.html | There is too much confusion
Much too much impact of obscene terror
I wonder why I'm still surfing on this wave of obsession
Is there a reason to stay any longer
Waiting for some cool messiah
Give me a reason to stay here forever
Waiting for something to come
Is it my soul
Is it that glimpse of light I never forget to expect
Or is it you, some kind of angel
That keeps me in waiting forever
There's too much war on the outside
Much too much impact of symbols and meanings
I wonder why I'm still fighting in this ocean of questions
Is there a reason to stay any longer
Waiting for something to come
Give me a reason to stay on this island
Waiting for something to come

Alphaville | Sounds Like A Melody | /a/alphaville/sounds+like+a+melody_20006846.html | It's a trick of my mind
Two faces bathing in the screen light
She's so soft and warm in my arms
I tune it into the scene
My hands are resting on her shoulders
When were dancing away for a while
Oh we're moving, we're falling,
We step into the fire
By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream
There's no reason to hurry
Just start that brand new story
Set it alight, we're head over heels in love
Head over heels
The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places
We'll go for a while
It's the definite show
Our shadows resting in the moonlight
It's so clear and bright in your eyes
It's the touch of your sighs
My lips are resting on your shoulder
When we're moving so soft and slow
We need the ecstasy, the jealousy,
The comedy of love
Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before
Give me more tragedy, more harmony
And fantasy, my dear
And set it alight, just starting that satellite
Set it alight
The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places
We'll go for a while

Alphaville | Summer In Berlin | /a/alphaville/summer+in+berlin_20006847.html | This day's an invitation
And it's just for you
You've got a reservation
For the 17th of June
Open your eyes
And let the sun break in for a while
There may be something
That you've never seen inside
Feel how your heart beats
Like a heavy machine
The sound of the traffic
Is like a silent dream
The dust in the park
The exhaust from the cars
Ascends in that heated afternoon
(You touch a sweaty body!)
Summer in Berlin, it's alright
The day feels so tired
From the lead in the air
And the fire in the skies
Life seemed to be a fault of grace
But it's ok
It gave you a kiss
In the middle of the crossroads
Summer in Berlin, it's alright
The heat of the sun
Which is stored in the pavement
Feels so fine
Here stands the innocent
And there it comes oh so wild
That's when you're longing
For a summer by the wall
Summer in Berlin, it's alright
Summer in Berlin, it's ok

But it won't last very long, hang on
It won't last very long, so hang on

It offers you comfort
As everything about it
It is mild, without reason
And for all it is perfect
And it is there, where I go now
And it is there, where I now go
And it is there, where I now go
It is there... Where i... Now... Go..

Alphaville | The Other Side Of You | /a/alphaville/the+other+side+of+you_20705476.html | (Gold-Lloyd-Echolette)
This is a national anthem
From the flip-side of the empire
Hand on my heart
Heart on the sleeve of the constitution
Sinking right into a mirror
Leaving reflections on its surface
Caught in a kind of radio-beacon
That's sending out signals
Transmitting them backwards
Hey, tell me it's true
Is this the other side of you
Worlds gonna change
With a move in your face,
Do I still walk on the same structure?
Hey, what do we know
Re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows?
Nothing is real
Even iron or steel
Melting gently in the cold structure
Watching your face thru' a peephole
As I lean against the door
Can't understand what you say
But I think that you're calling my name
Leaving the ones I loved is like
Leaving the one they want me to be
Making decisions
In real-time-precision
As millions of sailors
In parallelworlds
Hey, tell me it's true,
Is this the other side of you
Worlds gonna change
With a move in your face
Do I still walk on the samestructure?
Hey, what do we know,
Re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows?
Nothing is real
Even iron or steel
Melting gently in the cold structure
Everybody walks this side of the run-way
Everybody hopes to get off the trap
All we really like is to groove with emotion
Waiting for the airline to lift us up...

Alphaville | Wishful Thinking | /a/alphaville/wishful+thinking_10008257.html | Into the night
Still falls the rain
Even the dogs stay home tonight
Out on the streets
Going nowhere
Just one direction in my thoughts
Love can be magic
It can be a game
Sometimes it's tragic
And sometimes a shame
Words were my bullets
Emotion my gun
I was a runner
Now I'm on the run
Sometimes I wish that you were dead
That is because you haunt me so
I wasn't right to let you go away
I try to kill the pain inside
But you are always on my mind
No matter where I go or stay
Sometimes I dream my time away
And we're together again
But I know that can never be
And all my hopes are in vain
You were my treasure
That I didn't know
You were the sun in my life
Thought I was dying
When I realized
There's just one chance to survive.

America | A Horse With No Name | /a/america/a+horse+with+no+name_20007105.html | On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la
After nine days I let the horse run free
Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la

Fin'lly lost at last

Why should I even try?
Why should I even try?
How can I tell you?

And I miss you so much I don't wanna cry, you are why

America | Can't You See | /a/america/cant+you+see_20007156.html | Written by dan peek, (C)1976
Found on hideaway and highway.
Alone, sitting here on my own
There's no place I'd rather be
Or so it seems
Home, miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see?
You hold your life in your hands
And no one takes from a man
Who gives the best that he can
To make someone understand
I've flown miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see?
You hold your life in your hands
And no one takes from a man
Who gives the best that he can
To make someone understand
Home, miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?

When you feel you're about to give up
The sun goes down and darkness surrounds you

Cast the spirit, cast it out

Put out the fire, let it cool down
If it's in your tears, then let it drown
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo

You say to yourself, will it ever end
Cast the spirit, cast it out
If it's in your body, then let it out
Put out the fire, let it cool down
If it's in your tears, then let it drown
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo
When you feel down and have nobody to turn to
You say to yourself, why can't it be
The sun goes down and darkness surrounds you
You feel you want to be free
Cast the spirit, cast it out
If it's in your body, then let it out
Put out the fire, let it cool down
If it's in your tears, then let it drown
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo

Through the pourin' rain
There's a ticket waitin'
I gotta catch that train
The yellow racin' dreamboat
On California air
Single engine cowboy
Out in county fair

The silver clouds in August
Lover's names on trees
Imagine running water
You wadin' in knee deep

All of the places it came apart
There's just one thing that I need to know
Why am I always chasing the rainbow
Get it get it get it get it get it get it get it uh huh
I ran through the meadow looking for a dream
Truth is never like what it seems
I guess there's always so far to go
Why am I always chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it get it uh huh
Where is the light
Where is the love
Where are the dreams that I once had
Frittered away
Gone in the time it takes to get from there to here
Get it get it get it
Get it get it get it uh huh
Get it get it get it chasing the rainbow
Why am I always chasing the rainbow
I'd draw you a picture cause it just might help
To point out the place where we went so wrong
The only color I'd use is blue
Why am I always chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it get it uh huh
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Why am I always chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Get it get it chasing the rainbow
Why am I always chasing the rainbow

Gaily on the ground
At the joy
Of something he had found
Aw, come on children, get your heads back together
Aw, come on children, get your heads back together
Aw, come on children, get your heads back together
The days are getting warmer now
The nights are getting shorter now
And you know we can make it 'cause you know we're alive
But we don't have to take it, any way we'll survive
If I were you
I'd throw it far away
But if you were me
You'd tell me I should stay
Aw, come on children, get your heads back together
Aw, come on children, get your heads back together
Aw, come on children, get your heads back together again
Again, again and again and again
Again, and again and again
Again, again, again

When ole Santa's on his way
Don't look now but the top is down
On his candy apple sleigh
Headin' on down the coast
Over surf and sand
The warm wind in his hair
Make no mistake, it's here
Holiday fun, good cheer
It's Christmas time again
In California, wo-oh
The boulevard, lights of red and green
As the snow birds make the scene
Hollywood doesn't miss a beat
It's another childhood dream
Headin' on down the coast
Over surf and sand
The warm wind in your hair
Make no mistake, it's here
Holiday fun, good cheer
It's Christmas time for sure
In California
People say it can't be true
That the spirit lives here, too
But you'll find Christmas everywhere
Under palm trees, sun and moon - ah
Headin' on down the coast
Over surf and sand
The warm wind in your hair
Make no mistake, it's here
Holiday fun, good cheer
It's Christmas time again
In California
Make no mistake, it's here
Holiday fun, good cheer
It's Christmas time again
In California
In California
In California, wo-oh

America | Cinderella | /a/america/cinderella_20007227.html | I was out last night having a ball
And comin' home, I wasn't thinkin' nothin' at all
And there on the sidewalk what did I see
A little glass slipper starin' back at me
Cinderella (Cinderella)
Well I'm not superstitious but I'm smarter than I seem
And I knew it was love, if you know what I mean
When I saw that slipper it occurred to me
The shoe fit her and she fit me
Cinderella (Cinderella)
Cinderella (Cinderella)
When I find her it will be
A fairy tale for her and me
I will never let her go
Cinderella
Now the other girls hold no fascination for me
I just think of her wherever she may be
I will search my whole life through
'Cause no one else will ever do
Cinderella (Cinderella)
Cinderella (Cinderella)
When I find her it will be
A fairy tale for her and me
I will never let her go
She will give my heart a home
Until that day I'll be alone
With just a slipper and a dream

America | Close To The Wind | /a/america/close+to+the+wind_20007203.html | Ah
Lately, it hasn't been easy
I've been wanderin' all night
Searchin', tryin' to find an answer
Why I'm in this situation
I've been sailing close to the wind
Trying to keep my head above water
Close to the wind, without you
I've been sailing close to the wind
Everyday it just gets harder
But you're all I need to survive
For so long it felt like
I was walking on the water
I found the hard part
Is waking without you in the morning
I've been sailing close to the wind
The weight of the world's on my shoulders (everyday now)
Close to the wind, without you
I've been sailing close to the wind
The loneliness it's neverending (yes I'm falling)
Open your heart, come aboard
And if we're back together
I know our love will be everlasting
I still believe that there's a chance
For us to have a happy ending
Peace will reign on earth
LIfe for all it's worth, oh yeah
I pray every single morning
That this time we will be much stronger
I've been sailing close to the wind
Help me try to find a shelter (to protect you)
Close to the wind without you
I've been sailing close to the wind
But inside it's safe and warm now (we're together)
Don't be afraid of the storm
I've been sailing close, close to the wind (been sailing in)
(Close to the wind) Don't be afraid of the storm
I've been sailing close, close to the wind (been sailing in)
(Close to the wind) Don't be afraid of the storm ...

Come as you are in your broken car
The company
Carousel is wishing well
As a wonder night that spoke delight
To the company
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Broken dream, just a token scheme
Silver man with a telegram
For the company
Scalding blue, come talk to you
Search the cave for the grave
Of the company
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now

America | Desperate Love | /a/america/desperate+love_20007261.html | Secret calls long after hours
Suspicions rise, why does she whisper
Someone's hiding something
What's going on
She smiles and finds an excuse to go out
Meets him somewhere on the edge of town
For one more night of real love
How can it be wrong
'Cause when they turn out the lights
In their rented room tonight
Two lovers won't be lonely anymore
When it's a desperate love, risk is high
Cheating hearts making alibis
In the shadows someone is waiting
Waiting for their lover to come tonight
A cheater's conscience has no pride
To spend the night with another man's wife
Lie to his best friend and never think twice
He knows where to find what he longs to have
And do anything 'cause he wants her that bad
Love has many faces, faces to hide
'Cause when they turn out the lights
In their rented room tonight
Two lovers won't be lonely anymore
When it's a desperate love, risk is high
Cheating hearts making alibis
In the shadows someone is waiting
Waiting for their lover to come tonight
When it's a desperate love, risk is high
Cheating hearts making alibis
In the shadows someone is waiting
Waiting for their lover to come tonight
When it's a desperate love (desperate love), risk is high
Cheating hearts making alibis
In the shadows someone is waiting
Waiting for their lover to come tonight
When it's a desperate love (desperate love), risk is high
Cheating hearts making alibis
In the shadows someone is waiting
Waiting for their lover to come tonight ...

The same old feeling that I just can't place
And you say don't cry, baby
You know I'll always be the one who cares
Don't cry, baby
Come closer let me wipe away your tears
A man came in with a violin
He played for me like I've never been
Courted before and forevermore
As the bow touched the strings
He made the whole world sing
Don't cry, baby (Baby, don't you cry)
You know there'll always be someone who cares
Don't cry, baby (Baby, don't you cry)
Come closer let me wipe away your tears
I know I've been wrong
You've had to be strong
I guess I belong to you, my baby (Baby, don't you cry)
You know I'll always be the one who cares
Don't cry baby (Baby, don't you cry)
Come closer let me wipe away your tears
The sound of your voice singing songs in the night
Have taken me far away and mystified
The songs of the lovers brought tears to my eyes
The words that you'd spoken made me realize

America | Don't Let It Get You Down | /a/america/dont+let+it+get+you+down_20007157.html | Written by dewey bunnell, (C)1976
Found on hideaway.
Somebody told me that the time was right
To keep on ridin' and to hang on tight
I heard the cry of a dog in the night
But nobody told me it would be all right
Don't let it get you down
But nobody make a sound
Don't let it get you down
We took a ride down a hill that night
The man was crazy but he wouldn't fight
With bullets in his back and money in a sack
We robbed a bank and we never looked back
Don't let it get you down
But nobody make a sound
Don't let it get you down
We took the bank, kept on runnin', but never too slow
The ride was fun and you know we went to mexico
But the action that felt all right
Still haunts me in the night
We took the bank, kept on runnin', but never too slow
The ride was fun and you know we went to mexico
But the action that felt all right
Still haunts me in the night, alright
Don't let it get you down
'cause nobody made a sound
Don't let it get you down
They'll be lucky if we're ever found
Don't let it get you down (don't let it get you down)
Don't let it get you down (don't let it get you down)
Don't let it get you down (don't let it get you down)
Don't let it get you down (don't let it get you down) ...

America | Down To The Water | /a/america/down+to+the+water_20007121.html | The waves come in
Crash on the shoreline
Salty water, don't you know
It's yours, yours and mine
So grab your girl
And don't go wastin' time
And let's go down to the water tonight
White capped clouds
Dance in the sunlight
Purple fishes watch
And show you some of their delight
The weather's fine
And everything's all right
So let's go down to the water tonight
Let's go down to the water tonight
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, down to the water
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, down to the water
Down to the water
Island music
Sways with a palm tree
Friends of mine lay back
And talk of times that weren't so free
So let's have fun
And that means you and me
And let's go down to the water tonight
Let's go down to the water tonight
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water...

America | Even The Score | /a/america/even+the+score_20007262.html | I stayed up all night long
Drinkin' and thinkin' 'bout you
Is there anything left at all
Is there anything that I can do
'Cause I don't know what to say anymore
I don't know how to even the score with you, with you
Starin' hard at that big front door
Is it time now to find my shoes
It ain't the loss of love no more
I'm just tryin' hard to live with you
'Cause I don't know what to say anymore
And I don't know how to even the score with you, with you
With you, with you
'Cause I don't know what to say anymore
And I don't know how to even the score with you, oh, with you
Is love a question, who's weak, who's strong
I can't see it, where's a compromise
It's so confusin' where this thing has gone
It's gotta stop, you've gotta realize
'Cause I don't know what to say anymore
And I don't know how to even the score with you, oh, with you

America | Foolin' | /a/america/foolin_20007240.html | You let me follow you around
It helped your status in the town
Well I didn't know your name
There's no truth in what you claim
So I think you better stop this foolin' 'round
I think it's called a lesson learned
When one so close suddenly turns
Leaves you standing on your own
Got no place to call your home
So I think you better stop this foolin' 'round
Now it's my time to make amends
Hope my message don't offend
And I hope this doesn't drive you round the bend
Leaves you standing on your own
Got no place to call your home
So I think you better stop this foolin' 'round
Yes, I think you better stop this foolin' 'round
Yes, I think you better stop this foolin' 'round

America | Garden Of Peace | /a/america/garden+of+peace_20007204.html | I look inside at the scarlet room
Places to hide in the dusty gloom
A noisy clock and a silver spoon
A china cup on the mantlepiece
Gathering dust as it did in the east
And just outside lies the garden of peace
Oh, tell me is this really true
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
Tell me over, over and over
Tell me is this really happening
Inside this world it's beautiful
Peace in this garden has come true
A mirror pond reflects the dawn
Over the banks, 'cross the emerald lawn
A breeze has come and I'm carried along
So follow the path through the knowing trees
And each time you laugh, it is love you release
That love will come back in the garden of peace
So, tell me is this really true
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
Tell me over, over and over
Tell me is this really happening
Inside this world it's beautiful
Peace in the garden has come true
Oh, tell me is this really true
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
Tell me over, over and over
Tell me is this really happening
Inside this world it's beautiful
Peace in the garden has come true ...

America | Glad To See You | /a/america/glad+to+see+you_20007182.html | Bells ring in in my ear
Voices I hear
Whispering daily to me
Love in your fire
High on a wire
When I know you're near me
God, I'm glad to see you
I thought you'd left me far away
I wouldn't give much to be you
But I want you to know I feel this way
All over the world
Flags are being unfurled
Waving before the dawning
I'm watching the show
The last one to know
Which way that things are going
God, I'm glad to know you
I thought you'd left me far away
I wouldn't give much to be you
But I want you to know I feel this way
Cars fighting their way
Out of L.A.
On a Sunday morning
I'm watching the show
The last one to know
Which way that things are going
God, I'm glad to see you
I thought you'd left me far away
I wouldn't give much to be you
But I want you to know I feel this way
God, I'm glad to know you

America | God Of The Sun | /a/america/god+of+the+sun_20007122.html | God of the sun
Don't make me wait till the morning comes
Light in the sky
Look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye
Don't, keep me waiting around
Too much longer now
Don't, don't keep me waiting around, around, around, around
When I called you from my river of darkness
An echo was all that came back
Saw you wave goodbye
Down the railroad track
Sometimes when you're out and all alone
And you can't find your way back
Wonder if you'll ever make it home
God of the sun
I'll be around till the day's begun
One sight of your ray
Takes the night away, away, away, away
Oh, but when I walk through that door
Take my hat and my coat off waiting for you to call
I tell you not right now, lady, I got work on my mind
And I'll talk to you soon
Always remember
When I called you from my river of darkness
An echo was all that came back
I saw you wave goodbye
Down the railroad track
Sometimes when you're out and all alone
And you can't find your way back
Wonder if we'll ever make it home
No more

America | Golden | /a/america/golden_20665263.html | Watchin' a stretch of road
Miles of light explode
Driftin' off a thing
I'd never done before
Watchin' the crowd roll in
Out go the lights, it begins
A feelin' in my bones
I never felt before
People always told me
That bars are dark and lonely
And talk is often cheap
And filled with air
Sure sometimes they thrill me
But nothin' could ever chill me
Like the way they make
The time just disappear
Feelin' you here again
Hot on my skin again
Feelin' good, a thing
I'd never known before
What does it mean to feel
Millions of dreams come real?
A feelin' in my soul
I'd never felt before
And you, you always told me
No matter how long it holds me
If it falls apart
Or makes us millionaires
You'll be right here forever
We'll go through this thing together
And on Heaven's golden shore
We'll lay our heads

Hope you're feeling better tomorrow night
Don't put up a fight
It'll do you no good
Hello, Uncle Freedom
I've seen them down on their knees for you
Nothing they wouldn't do
To have you along
I got too many problems
They just don't understand
They think their every wish
Is my command
Oh no, Sister Susie
You're in a win or lose affair
Wish I could be there
To help you along
Oh yes, Brother Michael
We all have every faith in you
And everything you do
All the way round
I got too many problems
They just don't understand
They think their every wish
Is my command
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

America | Goodbye Highway | /a/america/goodbye+highway_20665253.html | In this world of lost horizons
Where your dreams burn fast
But your nights go slower
Ever find that you're compromising
All your hopes and fears
Just to get to know her
So you take a walk down the goodbye highway
The hello goodbye way
It's a long long road
Ever take a stroll down the goodbye highway
The some other time way
Try to ease your load
She was never one for social graces
And hangin' out with the midnight faces
Wore me out
I guess the thoughts of the nights alone
Or the time waiting for the telephone
Removed the doubt
So we took a ride down the goodbye highway
The hello goodbye way
It's the longest road
Soon you're fighting over the yours or my way
The do or die way's
The only way you know
So you stand up for the things that you're losing
Out on but it's all so confusing
You hold on but it slips right through your hands
Guess it's so long with a change of direction
Goodbye gotta make my connection
Solo, as you head on out the door, forever more
So you take a walk down the goodbye highway
The hello goodbye way
It's a one way road
Ever find yourself down the goodbye highway
The some other time way
Nowhere left to go, nowhere left to go

Feel the evening air
The crowds in the city
Compete for a share
It's all so busy, a complete affair
Down here...
As I walk through marble
Finding my way out to daylight
One drinking orange vodka
Someone inside here
Will give us a ride dear
I know a place where we both can go
To set our hearts on fire
I know the city's the only show
Can I take you for a ride
I can make you satisfied
All 'n all it's worth your while
Change that frown back to a smile
Tonight
Do or die in the misty city
All night long
A nightclub in the middle
Tappin' time to my song
Catch hell for leavin'
They are always wrong
Down here...
As I walk through marble
Finding my way in the night-light
Two people sit and argue
Someone inside here
Will give them a ride clear
I know a place where we both can go
To set our hearts on fire
I know the city's the only show
Can I take you for a ride
I can make you satisfied
All 'n all it's worth your while
Change that frown back to a smile
Tonight

There's a man marking the candle as it burns
Keeping track of every minute that remains
Still we hope somehow
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna turn out fine
There's a light shining beyond the southern cross
Burning bright for everyone of us who's lost
More than faith more than a reason to go on
Rise on up knowing
You're gonna win the fight
It's gonna turn out fine
You gotta hope it'll be alright
Come on and hope it'll turn out fine
Yeah, hope it'll be alright, please
When the night turns to the deepest shade of black
At that point there is no reason to turn back
High above angels are falling from the sky
Lift your heart knowing
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna turn out fine
You gotta hope it'll be alright
Come on and hope it'll turn out fine
Yeah, hope it'll be alright, please
You gotta hope, ya gonna win the fight
Come on 'n hope with all your might
Yeah hope it's gonna be alright, please
Millions of people alone in the dark
Awaiting a moment of hope
Please
You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) it'll be alright
Come on and hope (And when the road is rough) it'll turn out fine
Yeah, hope (Just when you've had enough) it'll be alright, please
You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) you're gonna win the fight
Come on and hope (And when the road is rough) with all your might
Yeah, hope (Just when you've had enough) it's gonna be alright, please
You gotta hope (Whenever times get tough) it'll be alright

On a moonlit night on wings of silver
As the enchanted stars sail serenely by
Do they know where do unicorns go
Where winged horses fly
Narwhales lost at sea and never seen again
Go, go and ask the magpie
Where do unicorns go
In the trees the birds have learned to speak
Gaily colored they keep their secrets
In a parade of clouds playing hide and seek
Do they know where do unicorns go
Where winged horses fly
Narwhales lost at sea and never seen again
Does myth and mystery lie
Where the unicorns go

As I walk through this dream
As I have done since ages now gone
Shall I read you the letter
They sent postmarked from somewhere out here
It's in Latin, I think, I don't know
Can you help me, my dear
Please, can you help me, my dear
Near to their bed (they never sleep)
They sit sipping their tea, watch the sea
Move the sand through their heads (sit in their chairs by the bay)
Did I show you the marks on the wall
Left by captains now dead (house out on the cove)
They fell fighting for peace in their lives
Or so it is said (still nobody seems to be here)
Please, can you help me, my dear
Please, can you help me, my dear
You can't miss it
A blue forest on a green sky
You must risk it
Don't ignore us if you want us to
If we want us to survive
Where will I be (can't you help me to find my way)
After watching them walking the pier
At the mouth of the sea (I've been lost for so long)
They're in love with the news
And don't show if they're living in fear (still nobody seems to be here)
They eat ice cream alone
Watch the waves at the end of the pier (ah, nobody seems to hear)
Please, can you help me, my dear
Please, can you help me, my dear

America | My Kinda Woman | /a/america/my+kinda+woman_20007278.html | Written by russ ballard, (C)1983
Found on your move and the very best of america.
I've been in love, girl, so many times before
They'd love me and leave me, i thought i knew the score
I'd fall in love no more
I was walking in shadows then, my life a lonely road
I was walking to nowhere, with a heavy loaded heart
To laugh i played the part
(do, do, do ... ) then came that magic day
I saw you as you walked my way
Here she comes, my kinda woman

America | Never Be Lonely | /a/america/never+be+lonely_20007266.html | Got you by my side,
I'll never be lonely.
Got you by my side,
I'll never be afraid.
Never be lonely anymore.
Turn away the fools from my door.
Always want to be your one and only.
Never be lonely.
Spent a lot of time,
Waitin' to find you.
Spent a lot of time,
All on my own.
Could've gone a thousand different ways,
Watching my nights turn to days.
Always want to be your one and only.
Never be lonely.
Here in the middle of now or never,
Finally found where I belong.
I could go on like this forever,
Looking at you, looking at you.
Wasn't I the one,
Love never came to?
Wasn't I the one,
So misunderstood?
All because my heart wasn't sure.
Never felt a love like this before.
Always want to be your one and only.
Never be lonely.
Here in the middle of now or never,
Finally found where I belong.
I could go on like this forever,
Looking at you, looking at you.
Got me by your side,
Never be lonely.
Got me by your side,
Never be afraid.
And I will not let you down.
Keeping both feet on the ground.
Always want to be your one and only.
Never be lonely.
Never be lonely.
Never be lonely.
Never be lonely.
Never be lonely.
Never be lonely.

America | Never Found The Time | /a/america/never+found+the+time_20007099.html | I never found the time
To see things quite through
I never found the time
To give them to you
If living don't come easy
Don't stop your own voice
Cause the worst part of living
Is havin' no choice
Tell me a story
Tell it with your eyes
I'm gonna stop believin'
If I hear another lie
Drink some cold water
Your mouth's getting dry
If I only had the time
To see things right through
I'd give up all my treasures
And send them to you
Then livin' would seem easy
No lights and no noise
Just me and my lady
And the echo of her voice
Tell me a story
Tell it with your eyes
I'm gonna stop believin'
If I hear another lie
Drink some cold water
Your mouth's getting dry
I never found the time
To see into my lady
And memories don't die
But with time become hazy
I never found the time
To see into my lady
And memories don't die
But with time become hazy
I never found the time
To see into my lady
And memories don't die
But with time become hazy
I never found the time

America | No Fortune | /a/america/no+fortune_20007242.html | We were dancin' in the middle
We could hardly hold our heads up
I think we had too much to drink
I remember wondering what they'd think
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
We were thinkin' 'bout the future
We were trying not to laugh
Then you made me cry instead
I remember wishing I was dead
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
No fortune pays for wounds like these
It's been too long a time now please
Just say you will, we can call it a day
It's not as though we ain't sinned
It's just a game we all play
There was nothing to win
Well I'm coming home lady
I'm your homecoming man
Trying hard to stand the rain
Gettin' back on my feet again
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
No fortune pays for wounds like these
It's been too long a time now please
Just say you will, we can call it a day
It's not as though we ain't sinned
It's just a game we all play
There was nothing to win

America | Old Virginia | /a/america/old+virginia_20007147.html | Hey, honey, won't you sit down
And stop here for a spell
Singin' the sweet old lullabies
To forget about your health
Don't think about tomorrow
It's a whole night's sleep away
Sure would be pleased to have you stay
And it's reach out old Virginia
Won't you rock him close to you
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
He don't know what to do
It's time to come on home
And put your feet up for a while
So much travlin' 'round tends to take away your smile
'Pears to me it's all a body can do to stay in tune
And you've been strainin' at those strings
From mornin' till noon
So come on down and hang around
It'll put you right real soon
'Cause nothing's changed
It's all the same
Reach out old Virginia
Won't you rock him close to you
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
He don't know what to do
It's time to come on home
And put your feet up for a while
So much travlin' 'round can take away your smile
Reach out old Virginia
Won't you rock him close to you
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
He don't know what to do
It's time to come on home
And put your feet up for a while
So much travlin' 'round can take away your smile

To the Masai Mara
And asante sana
Kichwa Tembo
I'm going Oloololo
Back to the world where I'm from
Soon I'll be flying solo
On a heading that follows the sun
Oloololo, Oloololo, 'loololo
'Cause I've been down from Nairobi
Southeast of Kisumu
To the waiting savanna
Like a place that I once knew
And the river was flowing
While the crocodile baked in the sun
With the elephant knowing
That a change had already begun
Oloololo, Oloololo, 'loololo
Oloololo, Oloololo

America | One Morning | /a/america/one+morning_20007243.html | One morning when the mist came down
I woke up early and I looked around
My baby slept, the sky was blue
I started walkin' thinkin' only of you
Up the hill and down the road
Past the people that I barely know
Round the bend to the run-off wash
I found a feather that a quail had lost
Where are you goin' now my friend
Where are you goin' now
Are you going to see them on the mountain now
Goin' to see them trees
Goin' to watch the circles take a bow
Goin' to help agree
To be
Today
Some people like to play out loud
I like them always, they're a laughing crowd
To catch the wind then come slidin' down
You reach the bottom fallin' upside down
Touch a hand and see the world turnin' circles
Brushin' every curl back again
To those sunset walks
That special summer and those all night talks

Desperate situation, rally to the task
Playing God, shine in all his glory
Playing God
Warm you till you can sleep at night
Somewhere in your memory
Lies the dormant seed
Pacify your guilt now, and satisfy my greed
Playing God, climb the golden ladder
Playing God
Warm you up so you'll sleep at night
Between the ether and the opium lies the land of no regret
Of what we are and what we might become
Are we walking on the water yet?
Playing God, shine in all his glory
Playing God, warm you up so you'll sleep at night
Playing God, climb the golden ladder
Playing God
Playing God, shine in all his glory
Playing God, warm you up so you'll sleep at night

America | Ports-Of-Call | /a/america/ports+of+call_20007208.html | I can't help thinkin' as those ships sail away
What sirens beckon and call
How long at sea this time how long between
The ports-of-call, ports-of-call
Under the bridge they move to far off lands
Maybe Australia or North African sands
Complete the mission, supply and demand
To ports-of-call, ports-of-call
And everyday as the sun is setting
Along the bay city lights appear
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising
Time is growing near
When they'll be casting off anchor as they sail away
Into the morning light
Rising and falling through the blue and gray
To ports-of-call, ports-of-call
And everyday as the sun is setting
Along the bay city lights appear
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising
Time is growing near
And everyday as the sun is setting
Along the bay city lights appear
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising
Time is growing near
I'll take the chance this time to change my world (change my world)
And break those ties that bind (ties that bind)
Far from those people passing through my life
Like ports-of-call, ports-of-call
Under the bridge I'll move to far off lands (far off lands)
Maybe Australia or North African sands (North African sands)
Complete my mission, hope you understand
Ports-of-call, ports-of-call

Feel the fantasy in the air
(Ah -- --)
Filled the room with flowers from Norway
Sensed her majesty in the air
Made a sign 'bove your doorway, to show I care
I've been waiting every morning
Just to help you find your way
I've been standing on your corner
(Don't go away) Don't go away
One more song about movin' along the highway
Feel the fantasy in the air
I've been waiting every morning
Just to help you find your way
I've been waiting every morning
Help me make it through the day
I've been waiting every morning
Just to help you find your way
I've been waiting every morning
Help me make it through the day
I've been waiting every morning ...

America | Seasons | /a/america/seasons_20007149.html | First came the winter
And then came the morning
Bright coral branches that pass you again
Down from the meadow and onto the seashore
Came the vast checkerboard kingdom of men
Sun radiates gold infrarays
Time to prepare for the fall
Harvest the corn, watch for the storm
Soon we will hear winter call
Ice on the pond, won't stay too long
Too thin to walk it today
Ice on the pond, something went wrong
Frost must be lost on the way
Evening is falling
The tree is a silhouette
As seen by the teddy bear
Watching his den
Spring came so quickly
That I did not see her
Just turn around
And she's coming again
Wind chimes along, rising at dawn
Seasons in circles too match
Each comes along, singing his song
Burying thoughts of the past

Try'n' to get those things that she's been thinkin' of
She can't be what she wants to be
Though she never really tries
She's a liar
She's a liar
But I might try her tonight
And if things go right
Caroline is calling everyone in town
First she calls them friends and then she puts them down
She can't be what she wants to be
Though she never really tries
She's a liar
She's a liar
But I might try her tonight
And if things go right
She can't be what she wants to be
Though she never really tries

Take your money and drop you to the ground
Wouldn't want to see you messed around
After all the love you think you've found
She's gonna let you down
Doesn't matter what we say
Love's the stubbornest game to play
Given time you might see it our way
And we'll be sorry boy until that day
She's gonna break away
Remember all the times you helped us through
Now here's our chance to do the same for you
Guess the thing to do is wait around
Lend a hand when you are on the ground
She's gonna let you down
She's gonna let you down
She's gonna let you down

America | Simple Life | /a/america/simple+life_10008873.html | Life today is frittered away
You've got to simplify
Each in our own way, we live for today
And never know why
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow
Across the sands of time
'cause that's the simple life
You know I'd like to make it mine
Take your cars and your bars
And trade 'em all in for a nice wood fire
At the end of the day I know you will say
You couldn't get much higher
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow
Across the sands of time
'cause that's the simple life
You know I'd like to make it mine
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow
Across the sands of time

Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, yoo-hoo
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let's go, let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it's grand, just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairyland
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy-cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs, we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop, pop, pop, pop
There's a happy feeling, nothing in the world can buy
When you pass around the cider and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives

Sometimes there are rainbows in the same place
And I don't know which way to turn
Sometimes lovers don't act like they should
And sometimes lovers don't do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover
Of innocence and blame
I know sometimes we act just the same
Your heart's in the city, it wears me down
No love, no pity, in this town
And I don't know which way to turn
Sometimes lovers don't act like they should
And sometimes lovers don't do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover
Of innocence and blame
I know baby
Hold on tight to me mama
Tell me what went wrong
I'm alright I will lay beside you
Till the night is gone
Ah, oo ...
Sometimes lovers don't act like they should
And sometimes lovers don't do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover
Of innocence and blame
Sometimes lovers don't act like they should
Sometimes lovers don't do all they could

You sometimes act as though I'm not even there
And yet if you did to me the things I do to you
I would surely say we're through
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I love you
I was hoping you'd love me, too
Don't you know that I love you, love you
If I seem to you indifferent once or twice
It's because I was feelin' quite that way
And the time I hung up the phone and didn't speak again
Well, it's funny to look back then
Didn't I love you (Love you)
Didn't I love you all the time
Didn't you need me (Need me)
Wasn't it a long, hard climb

Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on
My mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, I'm a standing on a corner
In winslow, arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
We will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in,
So take it easy
Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen
My load, got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my
Cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own
Wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

I searched forever your footprints in the sand
I feel you need me, I have to answer
That desperate call that I do not understand
A burning bridge, a lonely highway
Another dark night thinking alone
What could've happened, am I just dreaming
It doesn't matter but there's one thing that I know
If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
So on and on I keep on running
To make the border before the light
Just one more river, then I can make it
Again you'll be in my arms tonight
If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

America | Town And Country | /a/america/town+country_20007219.html | Touched by a butterfly on my way home
Flying who knows where
Walking down that dusty road
Without a care
The sun was shining up in the country
And bells were ringing downtown
Clouds were moving slow and lazy
While I was kicking around
And feeling out the town and the country
Feeling out the town and the country
Up on the hill I got a better look
I watched the river run brown (watched the river run brown)
And then I heard those songbirds singing
The country sound
When I got home I sat in my kitchen
And turned the television on (turned the TV on)
The news wasn't good so I didn't listen
I started clicking around
Thinking of the town and the country
I was thinking of the town and the country
Thinking of the town and the country
In the morning everything will be the same
Open up your world (watch the children play)
In the sun or rain
Thinking of the town and the country
A thinking of the town and the country
I was thinking of the town and the country (fade)
