Our dad
would send us to our room he'd be the voice of doom he said that we would thank him later all day he was solid as a rock but by eight o'clock we'd be crumbling one night my brother Joe and me climbed down the family tree that grew outside our bedroom window we ran though we knew it couldn't last running from the past from things that we were born to be Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are on the back seat of the car with Joseph and Emily we only see so far - and we all have our daddy's eyes looking back it's so bizarre Dad rang the officer in charge a man so large he barely fit his circumstances he said two kids out on the street were picked up on the beat and in the station so there's me with Emily and Joe daddy driving home all heading in the same direction he knew no matter what the breaks we'd make the same mistakes couldn't take his eyes of Joe and me Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are on the backseat of the car with Joseph and Emily we only see so far - and we all have our daddy's eyes looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are looking back it's so bizarre Like a dream within a dream we're all somewhere in between Like a drummer plays his drum like a father like a son - and your gonna have to face the music - face the music Hey hey we keep it running in the family hey hey we keep it coming in the family Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are on the backseat of the car with Joseph and Emily we only see so far - 'cause we all have our daddy's eyes take me back into your arms it's no longer a mystery no cause for alarm could have never come this far with no sense of history it always leaves a scar - and we all have our daddy's eyes looking back it's so bizarre running in the family Hey, hey! |

Though I live on the edge time is on my side
all the doors to my life are open wide just as long as the wheels keep on turning 'round I will live for the groove 'til the sun goes down living it up, living it up I can feel it living it up is it a crazy notion? living it up, living it up I can feel it living it up I got forward motion I don't wanna go to war, I don't wanna go to war I said I know what I want and I don't wanna go war - do you follow me? I saw a soldier standing in a bar looked so tired he'd come so far he said "I need to love someone, before they drop the atom bomb" there's a girl at the back making eyes at me and her hair long and black is a sight to see but I get kind of scared when love's around I just live for the groove 'til the sun goes down living it up, living it up I can feel it living it up is it a false emotion? living it up, living it up I can feel it living it up I got forward motion so I'm a-taking you out but I'm a-faking I'm married to the beat but to the music I gave the heart I could have given you still there's something 'bout the way that you move and the way that people stare it's the shock of the new I want my friends to see me standing next to you the sun goes down . . . time is on my side I don't care what they say I'll enjoy the ride but I get kind of scared when I turn around so I'll stay with the groove 'til the sun goes down living it up living it up I can feel it living it up I got forward motion ooh - watch her dance there must be one like her in every club in every town but I don't mind if that the way she wants to be there's something 'bout her that reminds me of me she's my soulmate - we'll be together 'til the sun goes down the sun goes down living it up living it up I can feel it living it up I got forwand motion |

How
How can it be that a love carved out of caring fashioned by fate could suffer so hard from the games played once too often But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfections born of the years is it so wrong to be human after all drawn into the stream of undefined illusion those diamond dreams they can't disguise the truth that there is something about you baby so right I wouldn't be without you baby tonight If ever our love was concealed no one can say that we didn't feel a million things and a perfect dream of life gone fragile but free we remain tender together if not so in love and it's not so wrong we're only human after all These changing years they add to your confusion oh and you need to hear the time that told the truth because there's something about you baby so right I couldn't be without you baby tonight There's something about you baby and I couldn't live without you here tonight |

steppin' out from underneath my shadow
walking home from fridays nine to five rememberin' the long way round the meadow the one we used to take from time to time I thought about you how you must have changed now baby far away from me how I used to savour all your kisses where no one else could see exchanging knowing glances across the schoolroom dreamin' of a love down by the sea changing plans to cover up for one another working on our secret fantasy but now as I walk down the road to your house baby there's no one there but me how I wish that I could steal your kisses just as they used to be and I wanna know Tracie, where are you now girl I don't know why this feeling's so strong Tracie, where have you been you know there's no one now to tell us we're wrong countin' by the street lights to the phone box where we used to meet before the dawn smoking on the top floor of the school bus promising the moon as we rode along but now if I saw you across a crowded dance floor or somewhere in the town would you show me what I have been missing and spin me round and round Tracie, where are you now girl I don't know why this feeling's so strong Tracie, where have you been you know there's no one now to tell us we're wrong 'cause deep inside from some other place I turn to find we're there face to face we laugh, we cry, we work and we play as love filled night gives way to the day (repeat chorus) |

When I was an infant in my mothers arms
I would watch the starlight in her face 'Cause I was reaching out to understand the cosmic charm I am just a starchild born in space. Way up high above the sky All that beauty passes by Whole worlds still unknown And out beyond the blue There's a place for people too It's time for us to go. I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise I have been there, I have seen it Repeat chorus We have time (In my dreams) Time and space While we're young (Floating free) We can chase to the stars. Searching for the magic in the universe Guided by the stars that light my way I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise I am just a starchild born in space |

I won't be here when you come home
I'm sorry if you don't understand, forgive me if you can but I can see another road and I ain't coming back Don't look for me around this town 'cause I will be so far away, you'll never find me anywhere and I won't take no souvenirs no perfumed picture promises because it's over and I ain't coming back You gave me everything and now I'm breaking your heart you know that I don't mean to tear your world apart I would never leave if I thought you couldn't stand the pain a letter in the hall is written on the wall a letter with no words of love at all because it's over (because it's over) and I ain't coming back And as I close the door I know I'm breaking your heart I should have loved you more instead I've torn your world apart And as I walk into the lonely afternoon I feel sad enough I feel bad enough and all the times when you are lonely where you are please don't hate me then I just could not pretend oh no Feel the tears I can feel the tears running through the years |

tell - me something
why do I always find it hard just to get along try my best - for nothing every little thing I do is wrong feel it in my brain driving me insane round and round the same old tune "daddy's on the phone you know you're not alone turn that down and clean up your room." sons and daughters (don't fall in) in hot water sons and daughters (they don't do) what they oughta tell (tell) you something music is the key to set me free to the beat (on the street) I'm jumping forgetting all the things they said 'bout me here it comes again chugging like a train round and round an impeccable groove I know it's getting late but I won't histate can't slow down got to do what I do sons and daughters (always in) in hot water wasting time is a crime in their eyes but I'm still young so much time to decide - what to do ... (I don't need confirmation for my boyhood extrapolation though I'm not sure of my direction I have the groove for my protection) here it comes again chugging like a train round and round an impeccable groove I know it's getting late but I won't hesitate can't slow down got to do what I do sons and daughters (don't fall in) in hot water (when they fall by the way) sons and daughters (they don't do) what they oughta tell me something where you staying tonight your folks have waited up for you now they've locked the door and turned off the light. |

I'm going nowhere
Gotta face up to it Gotta wake up to it I feel so guilty Killing time is a sin There's no way you can win A dam burst of dreams flow thru' me They slow me where I could be Flash point feelings flow Thru' my mind moving When my friends tell me You just can't connect You ain't got no respect They tell me nothing 'Cos I know about that Yes I know about that I'm not gonna take what people say Don't feel that I belong today Sense of freedom and Sense of pride From the mountains to the sea I'll run across this land Looking out for strength and beauty A diamond in the sand And I will chase the four winds over Trying to understand And I won't stop until I'm holding Heaven in my hands I won't let nobody Turn me off of the track Now there's no turning back Won't let no worries Turn my head inside out Now there's no room for doubt I'm heading for my destiny And it feels electric to me Flash point feelings flow Thru' my mind I was lonely going nowhere Drowning on dry land I was almost stranded there a Shipwreck on the sand But now I'll chase the whole world over Making my demands And I won't stop until I'm holding Heaven in my hands From the mountains to the sea I'll run across this land Looking out for strength and beauty A Diamond in the sand And I will chase the four winds over Trying to understand And I won't stop until I'm holding Heaven in my hands I was lonely going nowhere Drowning on dry land I was almost stranded there a Shipwreck on the sand But now I'll chase the whole world over Making my demands And I won't stop until I'm holding Heaven in my hands (Repeat) |

I keep to myself
what I might share with others but they don't seem to understand I open my mouth to rediscover that I don't have the words at my command holding out for a world so much better but I'm a stranger in a stranger's land all my friends have sold out couldn't handle the pressure counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can Children say - children say we open our minds as one but one more day - slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be When I overhear my parents conversations well I'm struck by the things they say it seems they traded the years for mere complications who ever thought it could end this way they close the door but they can't lock it 'cause something of their childhood remains and they've felt it before when the man in their pocket counted the cost of their material gains Children say - come what may be strong for the friends you've known but one fine day - (not) far away will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say we open our minds as one as one more day slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Well you knew what I was saying but did you know what it meant when you saw that look in my eye did you know it was heaven sent was it all a waking dream all that time we must have spent well I guess it must have been somehow that feeling came and went Children say - come what may be strong for the friends you've known but one fine day - (not) far away will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say we open our minds as one as one more day - slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Children say - children say we thought it would never go as one more day - slips away who ever thought we could be so lonely |

As I watch your face
I can see my life go by You mean everything to me Just can't take no more Throw a smile my way And the pain I feel inside Turns to love for you And I'm yours Do lovers ever need to hide The things they really fell inside I simply need you to need me Can't you see Once I hoped to be Your lover and your friend It just can't go on Your love games Your love games Do lovers ever need to hide The things they really feel inside If you won't show your heart to me Set me free Now the time has come To show you how I feel The love I gave to you I can't give no more Even now I see The salt tears in your eyes But it can't go on Your love games |

Take a journey back in time
Leave the western world behind Cross the mountains to Peking Where the paper laterns gently swing The Chinese way Who knows what they know The Chinese legend grows My eyes wide open I feel a breeze Words softly spoken In Cantonese Standing at the master's side The with patience he confides Secret knowledge - sacred ways Paerls of wisdom from the dragon days I could never lie For honour I would lie Following the Chinese way So many years ago hero's ruled the world (Some died for love in a cruel world) They were the only ones in a cruel world I could never lie For honour I would lie Following the Chinese way From the mountains to Peking Where the paper laterns gently swing The Chinese way Who knows what they know The Chinese legend grows |

It seems true love is so rare
Seems all I?ve known is deceipt. Your laughter fills the air Once more I?m sensing defeat And I suppose<b></b>you?re leaving me now I was so sure<b></b>now I?m so full of doubt And I suppose<b></b>You?ll be leaving this place Just like the smile<b></b>you?ve wiped from my face<b></b>this time I allways gave my best Your memory serves you so badly Some people kill for less Yet I?d still die for you gladly And I suppose, it?s my turn now To play the scene, that?s familiar somehow I turn the page, and you walk away Not even love could bring stay, this time <walk away, so easy> Once more I?m learning, in the depths of my dispare Your lies confirm it, true love is so rare And I suppose, it?s my turn now To play the scene, that?s familiar somehow You show the tears, that melt in your eyes Takes just one look, to know Im still mesmerized And I suppose, you?re leaving me now There?s no more love, only feelings of doubt And I suppose, you?ll be leaving this place Just like the smile, you?ve wiped from my face, This time |

I'm not proud, I was wrong
and the truth is hard to take I felt sure we had enough but our love went overboard lifeboat lies lost at sea I've been trying to reach your shore waves of doubt keep drowning me All the dreams that we were building we never fulfilled them could be better, should be better for lessons in love For restless eyes egos burn and the mold is hard to break now we've waded in too deep and love is overboard heavy hearts token words all the hopes I ever had fade like footprints in the sand All the homes that we were building we never lived in could be better, should be better lessons in love if we lose the time before us the future will ignore us we should use it, we could use it, yeah lessons in love lost without love Lessons in love when will you ever learn lessons in love when there's nowhere left to turn lessons in love don't let your spirit burn lessons in love I'll wait 'till you return All the dreams that we were building we never lived them we could lose it, we should use it (lessons in love) lessons in love all the homes that we were building we never lived in could be better (could be better), should be better lessons in love if we lose the time before us the future will ignore us we should use it, we could use it (good god) lessons in love |

pushing all the buttons
trying to come to something flying with his feet on the ground full of dreams and visions in a world of indecision he ain't around to be pushed around been a long time coming on - take a look at him now and the days of If are gone - 'cause he's showing us how knowledge fuels the mind of the few in a way that no - one's found brave new answers screaming the truth and the techno wins the crown * micro-kid with mega-thoughts he is real, he is here, he is fashionable micro-kid speaks digitalk if you hear what he says it's acceptable generating square waves while computing new games finally gets the chips off his back a smile is on his face erasing every trace of doubt that plagues the rest of the pack and his brain stores memories - no alternatives could come in he's the living remedy - times are better than they were then knowledge fuels the mind of the few in a way that no-one's found brave new answers screaming the truth and the techno wins the crown *Repeat |

I'm a ragged man with a ragged heart
but I wear my soul with pride you can see me on the road see my carrying my home and perhaps it seems that I'm all alone but I'm happy here inside you can keep your fancy dress 'cause to me it don't impress when I look in your face that camera smile looks out of place on you by the look in your eyes I can see you realize so lend yourself to me I'll show you what could be well I've come so far down so many roads I've experienced your pain you know that that's a fact I can see the way you act but I learned to see what was wrong with me and I won't go back again I know I've made mistakes but I also made the break you surround yourself with secrets you are afraid to show to the world you convince yourself there's no other way to go don't you see the smile on my face does it look so out of place so lend yourself to me I'll show you what could be (yes I will) so many ways for you to spend the passing days loving and living or losing and using life is forgiving so use it well feeling revealing or wheeling and dealing life's not for stealing and time will tell take a look at your face take a look at your face you must surely know if man made heaven then man made hell so take a look at yourself what's this secret you can't tell me (when I look in your face I see that smile so out of place on you and by the look in your eyes I can see you realize, oh yeah) |

I've been making moves in chains
wrapped around my hollow heart the thought of you remains I can't replace your face no matter how I try and in the night I cry from wanting you you know I thought I could not lose America was calling me you said I must choose between a life of love or visions that will fade and now the choice is made I'm so lonely Can you feel me reaching out to you I'm so lonely are you lonely too I would give anything to make you understand that I would go anywhere to be with you again Heaven help me if you can I remember better days but now I understand you can't buy happiness, love is not for sale the night is turning pale and I'm needing you I've tried to talk the time away (but the time is here to stay) empty ears aren't listening to one word I say (time to play) the dream became a big machine out of control and here inside my soul I am so lonely Where are you now when I need you so I'm so lonely I need you to know I would give anything (can you feel me) to make you understand (reaching out to you) and I would go anywhere (where are you now) to be with you again (when I need you) I was standing in the rain I was trying to break the chains I was calling out your name (something snapped inside of me) I need to be with you again, yeah baby Can you feel me (can you feel me now) reaching out to you I'm so lonely (I am so lonely girl) are you lonely too where are you now (I would go anywhere) now I need you so I'm so lonely (I am so lonely girl) I need you to know I would give anything to make you understand and I would go anywhere to be with you again and you are the only one who can break these chains and I would go anywhere to be with you again (can you feel me) (reaching out to you) (where are you now) (when I need you so) (I'm so lonely) (are you lonely too) (where are you now) (now I need you) |
