Without a spark I′m in the dark

Carry me home
Night train

Night train
Carry me home

Alone from night to night you′ll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I′m just a prisoner of love

For one command I stand and wait now
From one who′s master of my fate now
I can′t escape for it′s too late now
I′m just a prisoner of love

What′s the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me
Although she has another, I can′t have another for I′m not free

She′s in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I′m creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I′m just a prisoner of love

(brief instrumental interlude)

What′s the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me
Although she has another, I can′t have another for I′m not free

She′s in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I′m creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I′m just a prisoner of love

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man

This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness

Put up your fight right on the job

We gotta get over
Before we go under
Time's getting short, Lord

Country, do you know
Just what I meant
We just changed, we got
A brand new funky President

I need to be the Mayor
So I could change
Some things around here
I need to be the Governor
I need to be the Governor

Ahhooww
Hey
We´re collecting money here
That´s right, we´re talking to you
C´mon now, I need that money
Not fooling with you, c´mon girls
Just do what I do

Get up offa that thing
And dance till you feel better
Get up offa that thing
just try to release the pressure
Sing
Get up offa that thing
Go ahead Girl
Dance till you feel better
Babe, get up offa that thing
Try to release the pressure

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer´s here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
We´re dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City
All we need is music
Sweet, sweet music
There´ll be music everywhere
There´ll be swinging, swaying
And records playing
We´re dancing in the Street

Oh, it doesn´t matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So c´mon
Every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
There´ll be dancing
We´re dancing in the street
This is an invitation
Across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There´ll be swinging, swaying
And records playing
We´re dancing in the street

Oh, It doesn´t matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So c´mon
Every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
We´ll be dancing
We´re dancing in the street
This is an invitation
Across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
