Asia, Asia - Fantasia Live In Tokyo [compilation, live] (2007) by Asia (보컬), Asia (보컬) on maniadb.com

Fate looks certain but there's nothing guaranteed
Want for nothing, but is nothing what you need?
Always pushing but you're never satisfied
I did believe you 'til I found out that you lied

Chorus:
Time and time again
Time and time again again

For what I give you I get nothing in return
Can't forgive you watching all your bridges burn
All day long I sat and watched you do it wrong
Have to say that's how you did it all along

Chorus

But others wouldn't see things you could only see
And someone showed you, then why was it always me
You knew the limit you were always out of bounds
How could I trust you when I caught you messing 'round

Chorus

(Wetton/Downes)

They decorated all the generals
Who fought the wars behind the lines
They had forgotten all the soldiers
The brandy put them way behind the times

Insanity has found its way to TV screens
Vision seems impossible to me
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
I never would have thought this in my

{chorus}
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

The evening comes, we sit and watch the VJs
Clips and rushes come from who knows where
From Washington across to California
With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square

We see the soldiers moving on to victory
And children trampled under marching feet
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
How many millions will they put to sleep?

{chorus}
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

Fly away...


No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams

They recommended euthanasia
For non-conformists anywhere
Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares
This never would have happened in my

{chorus}
Fly away...

No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams...

Loneliness, a constant friend and lover
I know well
Crowded rooms the iron bar
That surround me
Trying hard to catch your eye
Just once, you see
Knowing from this moment if you did
We could be

Chorus:
One step closer
Closer than we are
One step closer
Closer than before

So many lines, you've heard them all
A lie in every one
From men who never understand
Your personality
And though we never even met
No talking needs to be done
The hum of conversation will disolve you
Into me

Chorus x2

Chorus

Gazing at our sunrise
Reflected in your clear eyes
Misty morning forest smoke fires

Make our way through the broken day
I couldn't stand to stay
Without you

We must keep moving
While the light is clearing
Leaving your dark world behind you

You have to run
Life is just begun
I'll never be alone
Without you

One chilling thought
Come screaming through the dark
I saw a yellow moon at midnight

And now you woke
Glowing in the smoke
I'm suddenly alone
Without you

Wanting things the way they used to be
You don't know what that can do to me
One more day, maybe never
Might as well be forever

Outside the light,fading as I write
And another night reminds me

As I sleep, memory that I keep
It's just another night
Without you

It seems so long
I've been holding on
Since I felt my arms around you

Time will go, both of us will know
Never be a day
Without you

The door swings open but you won't go it
You hate the movie that you haven't seen
You couldn't see what I have in mind
I see you laughing but you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine

You never should have done those things to me
There's one thread left 'tween you and history
And while our temperature is rising high
I'm warning you that you are
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Cutting it, cutting it fine...

You gambled all on one important game
Now take the debt and don't complain
Your game was up, I saw it all the time
I saw that vice, girl, you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Your sole advisor watch out for yourself
You never listen to anyone else
You were the one who ignored the signs
Dancing on a fine line
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Cutting it, cutting it fine...

I saw you standing hand in hand
But now you come to me the solitary man
And I know what it is that made us live
Such ordinary lives
The where to go, the who to see
No one could sympathize

The smile has left your eyes
The smile has left your eyes

And I've become a rolling stone
I don't know where to go
Or what to call my own
But I can see that black horizon
Looming ever close to view
It's over now, it's not my fault
See how this feels for you

The smile has left your eyes
The smile has left your eyes

I never thought I'd see you
Standing there with him
So don't come crawlin' back to me

I saw you standing hand in hand
But now you come to me the solitary man
And I know what it is that made us live
Such ordinary lives
The where to go, the who to see
No one could sympathize

The smile has left your eyes
Now it's too late you realized
Now there's no one can sympathize
Now that the smile has left your eyes

Now it's too late you realized
Now there's no one can sympathize
Now it's too late you realized
Now that the smile has left your eyes

The smile has left your eyes

Hard Times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry

I knew I'd never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Don't think of all that's been before

I'll hear you when you're calling
I'll catch you when you're falling
Don't worry I will always be there
Like never before, oh, oh

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry

Don't cry now that I've found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please, don't cry

All through the winter I thought I'd never see you again
Oh God where were you when I needed you
I know that you, no, you would never have betrayed me
I thought I'd die, why? All the reasons still evade me
But you're back

Chorus:
Now I can see you
Now I can feel you
Now that I want you
Now I can touch you
Next to me
Here it comes

Here comes the feeling
Here comes that same old feeling
Here comes the feeling
Here comes that same old feeling

This is for real, I never felt so good before
I see the world through different eyes
Now that you're back, nothing in the least can overcome me
Misery gone, plus all the doubt that overran me
But you're back

Chorus

Chorus

I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intent on tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-Oh

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the supernova scene
Oh-Oh

I met your children
Oh-Oh
What did you tell them?

Video killed the Radio star
Video killed the Radio star

'Cause in my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Woah!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio
You hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go

Oh-Oh
You were the first one
Oh-Oh
You were the last one

Video killed the Radio star
Video killed the Radio star

'Cause In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
Too far!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Alright!

Video killed the Radio star
Video killed the Radio star

'Cause in my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
So put all the blame on VCR

You are the radio staaaaar
You are the radio staaaaar

Video killed the Radio star
Video killed the Radio star
Video killed the Radio star
Video killed the Radio star
Video killed the Radio star
Video killed the Radio star
Video killed the Radio star
Video killed that Radio star,
Yes it did

Only Time Will Tell
by Asia




You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starry-eyed
You'd think that I would have known by now

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

CHORUS:
Only time will tell
One thing is sure
That time will tell
Only time will tell
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die

Now sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lying's over
Gone, like the tears that used to tide me over

You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

Only time will tell
I see it now, become so clear
Only time will tell
Your insincerity
And me all starry-eyed
You'd think that I would have known by now

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

Only time will tell
You're on your own inside your room
Only time will tell
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now
Only time will tell
One thing is sure...

When I ride the hounds of hell
Twist my foot, I nearly fell
I was lucky I was alive
One look back, I could have died

I was the sole survivor
Sole survivor, sole survivor
Solitary fire

When I saw it I was amazed
One time glory right in my gaze
I saw the sorry, I saw the joy
Light in the darkness none could destroy

And from the wreckage I will arise
Cast the ashes back in their eyes
See the fire I will defend
Just keep on burning right to the end

I'll be the sole survivor
Sole survivor

Many days I've traveled but I know not where I'm going to
I'm lost, lost along the way
From Mexico to Paris, always the same solitary circle
In an empty cafe
Their faces were so empty meaningless and negative to me
I could have died
The bodies and the strangers reflected in their glasses as they drank not seeing eye to eye

Ride Easy my friends
this journey ends before it begins
Ride Easy my friends
this story ends before it begins

Long dead Winter when I thought that Spring would never come again
melting the snow
Many days I've reveled evenings through to mornings through to evenings
with nothing to show

Ride Easy my friends
this journey ends before it begins
Ride Easy my friends
this story ends before it begins, oh

Their faces were so empty meaningless and negative to me
I could have died
The bodies and the strangers reflected in their glasses as they drank
not seeing eye to eye
Many days I've traveled going ‘round in social circles lost,
lost along the way
Many nights I've reveled but I thought I saw the message in a bottle
and drifting away

Heat Of The Moment
by Asia




I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in 82
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings


And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well
