I've come back this mornin to where I first came alive.
Here within this terminal where the buses arrive. I was the commuter on the 804,work for a computer on the 19th floor and... You came down the aisle of the bus and you sat by my side. Shoulder up to shoulder we shared that 9 o' clock ride. Oh my heart was screamin as you left your seat Followin your movements I was at your feet and... Oh down into the terminal both of us smiled,so we entered the terminal just as you smiled, "won't you leave out work for today?" you ask of me then. So I phoned-in sick- on the way to the home of a friend. We were all alone from 10 AM till 3,Really thought the fire had gone out of me but... You awoke the sleep of my life from gray into red. Made the weary wonder of Wall Street rise from the dead. Could have held up budding my entire life. But I had to get home to the kids and the wife and... So I let for the terminal where I began. Baby,no, I wouldn't have left if I'd been half a man. So here I am this morning where love had asked for the dance Here within this terminal where I passed on a chance Lord,I'll never find her though I've trully tried Probably she's found another bus to ride and... I am now about to begin the last of my days,I'm within what others would call a terminal phase I myself can only say it's livin' dead. Ridin' to the office with a song in my head that goes... La da da And you know it grows La da da... La da da... |

ESCAPE (THE PINA COLADA SONG)
Rupert Holmes 1979 I was tired of my lady, We've been together too long. Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song. So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed. And in the personals column, There was this letter I read: "If you like Pina Coladas, And getting caught in the rain. If you're not into yoga, If you have half-a-brain If you like making love at midnight, In the dunes of the cape. I'm the lady you've looked for, Write to me, and escape." I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean. But me and my old lady, Have fallen into the same old dull routine. So I wrote to the paper, Took out a personal ad. And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad. "Yes, I like Pina Coladas, And getting caught in the rain. I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne. I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, And cut through all this red tape. At a bar called O'Malley's, Where we'll plan our escape." So I waited with high hopes, Then she walked in the place. I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face. It was my own lovely lady, And she said, "Oh, it's you." And we laughed for a moment, And I said, "I never knew.. That you liked Pina Coladas, And getting caught in the rain. And the feel of the ocean, And the taste of champagne. If you like making love at midnight, In the dunes of the cape. You're the love that I've looked for, Come with me, and escape." "If you like Pina Coladas, And getting caught in the rain. If you're not into yoga, If you have half-a-brain. If you like making love at midnight, In the dunes of the cape. I'm the lady you've looked for, Write to me, and escape." |

You're browsing through a second hand bookstore
And you see her in non-fiction V through Y She looks up from World War II And then you catch her, catching, you catching her eye And you quickly turn away your wishful stare And take a sudden interest in your shoes If you only had the courage but you don't She turns and leaves and you both lose And you think about The people that you never get to love It's not as if you even have the chance So many worth a second life But rarely do you get a second glance Until fate cuts in on your dance And you'll see her on a train that you've just missed At a bus stop where your bus will never stop Or in a passing Buick When you've been pulled over by a traffic cop Or you'll share an elevator, just you two And you'll rise in total silence to the floor Like the fool you are, you get off And she leaves your life behind a closing door And you think about The people that you never get to love The poem you intended to begin The saddest words that anyone has ever said are 'Lord, what might have been' But no one said you get to win Still you're never gonna miss what you don't know And you don't know who you'll meet at half past three It could be a total stranger Who looks something just exactly much like me One of the people that you never get to love One of the people that you never get to love The people that you never get to love |

A little while ago I went and placed a call
To tell this girl I know that she could have it all The wedding ring, the whole dumb thing I was willing to tie the knot So i called her up, and this is the answer I got... *Chorus* I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine Leave your name and number And I'll try and get back to you You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're threw And I said, "Baby lets go get married. I need to know you're mine! I am hangin' on, I am hangin' on, I am hangin' on this line And if I can leave one message Before you go to bed, I would say to you..." *BEEP* And the phone went dead So I stepped down to buy some dog food for the cat Of course she called about three minutes after that Will she be my wife and share my life? Well of course she can write the plot Cause she called my up, and this is the answer she got *Chorus* I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine Leave your name and number And I'll try and get back to you You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're threw And she said, "Baby I got your message. Well I'm answering your call. I have thought it out, I have thought it out and I think that all in all If you ask if we can marry, and make it for all time then my answer is..." *BEEP* and the phone went *Chorus* I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine *Continue 1 more time* |

I can make a speech
When the mood comes to me, yes it's true But oh pretty darlin' I am speechless when it comes to you Speechless when you reach for my hand I am so speechless and I can't understand how you love me But as long as you keep sayin' that you love me There is nothin' I can say Except I am speechless at the sound of your voice I am so speechless and since I have no choice I keep smilin' like a cat whose caught a bird And just keep smilin' If I dare to say a word, you'd find me mindless And I don't really mind, love is blindness And my mind is resigned to the kindness you keep pourin' on me Can it be? Can it be? Can it be all for me? I don't have a hope If you don't dream of me, this is true 'Cause oh pretty darlin' I am hopeless when I dream of you Speechless and the heart never lies I am so speechless so I speak with my eyes I am just smilin' 'cause I've seen [Incomprehensible] Oh, are you smilin' at my face within the darkness When I am breathless and I come up for air It's so endless that it gives me a scare It's so timeless that I never touch ground Why should I? Why should I? Why should I make a sound I can sing your song I can sigh in the night, this is true But oh pretty darlin' I am speechless at the sight of you |

I don't need you
I don't need you half as much As you need me And I thank my lucky stars That you have freed me 'Cause I'm losing weight at last Losing weight and losing sleep And losing my mind fast I don't need you I don't miss you in the way I expected I have time to clean the sink And feel neglected Will I call you up? I won't I forgot your number 6364831 And I don't need you I don't need you like my life depended on it You're gone, you're gone, you're gone It only affects me in the hours When I need you, I need you But I don't want you I do crosswords And I'm weaving a basket And I'd never take you back Unless you ask it I don't need you I don't need you like my life depended on it You're gone, you're gone, you're gone It only affects me in the hours When I need you, I need you But I don't love you I don't love you like With whom you are living Only twenty times as much And all's forgiven If you'd come by today So that I can have you near forever while I say That I don't need you, I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you Need you Need you Need you |

Life can be too much you see
We all need insanity You're off the hook when you're off the wall You got to say, the hell with them all C'mon let's get crazy tonight No time to worry if we're wrong or we're right Caught up with people we've never met Ooh, Sunday morning we'll forgive and forget Before the dawn begins to shine it's hazy blue light Let's get crazy tonight Let's get crazy tonight There's a part of town you've missed Where the rules just don't exist Give no mind and give no name No one knows whose taking the blame C'mon let's get crazy tonight No time to worry if we're wrong or we're right Caught up with people we've never met Ooh, Sunday morning we'll forgive and forget Before the dawn begins to shine it's hazy blue light Let's get crazy tonight Let's get crazy tonight Let's get crazy tonight No time to worry if we're wrong or we're right Caught up with people we've never met Ooh, Sunday morning we'll forgive and forget Before the dawn begins to shine it's hazy blue light Let's get crazy tonight No time to worry if we're wrong or we're right Let's get crazy tonight No time to worry if we're wrong or we're right Let's get crazy tonight No time to worry if we're wrong or we're right Let's get crazy tonight No time to worry if we're wrong or we're right |

The more I learn, the less I know
The more I earn, the more I owe The more I search for somethin' new The more I come right back to you I'll always need your love I guess I've looked for more but more is less You take me in, you take me slow You let me be, you let me know That less is more, less is more Hold me tight and everything is right Just like before Oh, take it easy Love is more, love is more Love is more than all the empty dreams Outside your door Make it easy The more you buy, the less you've sold The more you try, the more you fold The more you read, the less you see The more you need, the less you're free Do what you do, you do it best Don't run the race with all the rest You set the pace so easily With all the moves you make on me Less is more, less is more Hold me tight and everything is right Just like before Oh, take it easy Love is more, love is more Love is more than all the empty dreams Outside your door Make it easy And more and more I must confess I find I'm needing less and less Why take the climb, why take the fall? When more is here and less is all Love is here, love is there Love is found with both feet on the ground That you share Take it easy Less is more, less is more Less is more than everything combined That's gone before Make it easy |

I arise to the 5 AM skies
Left over from yesterday With a moan I reach out for the phone It's her says, she's on her way And fifteen minutes later I hear the elevator I gave her my apartment key So she eases in and lies with me Pay my way with a nine to five day She's working a midnight grind Dressed in white by the dawn's eerie light She reaches my cobwebbed mind She brews us up some coffee And pulls the covers off me I grab her wrist and pull her near And the night begins to clear Morning man, doesn't take much to wake me Just you shake your morning man I've been dreaming of how you'll wake me Since this endless night began So curl up with your early riser In my eyes you see the plan You'll catch up on your sleep this evening And I'll be your morning man Eight at night in the last of the light I wander back home again Time is cheap 'cause I know she's asleep And out for the count 'til ten And when she's finally wakin' I'll fix some eggs and bacon She'll say, "Goodnight, I'm late again" I'll say, "Goodnight, I'll wait" Morning man, doesn't take much to wake me Just you shake your morning man I've been dreaming of how you'll wake me Since this endless night began So curl up with your early riser In my eyes you see the plan You'll catch up on your sleep this evening And I'll be your morning man |
