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 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 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 hey hey we keep on running in the family hey hey we keep on 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, oh yeah running in the family running in the family and we all have our daddy's eyes looking back it's so bizarre |

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 |

I'm going nowhere
Gotta face up to it Gotta wake up to it I feel so guilty Killing time is a sin A dam burst of dreams flows thru' me They show 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 the track Now there's no turning back Won't let no worries Turn my inside down 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 |

Life is a game where nothing is real - only you, only me
Right from the start we chase an ideal - fooling you, fooling me Are you hearing what I hear Are you feeling what I feel You'r still no. 1 but they're coming up to get you Young eyes burning bright they can see a better way You won't sleep tonight but that's the price you pay Out of the past the words to a song - calling you, calling me Hope it will last but time pushes on - pullling you, pulling me Are you hearing what I hear Are you feeling what I feel Every dream you had like balloons they burst around you so you're on the phone trying to conjure up your past But the damage has been done We're too far apart and strangers we've become And I wonder if it's true Is the world a different place for me and you Are you hearing what I hear Are you feeling what I feel In out hearts we're still the same But the worlds we chose to live In may have changed And the damage has been done we trust no-one We're too far apart and strangers we've become |

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 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 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 And our children say Hear children say |

I was living in a daydream Letting time of day pass by I didn't know what I was missing Until you came into my life When I saw you pretty girl I felt a glowing inside When I kissed you pretty girl I felt you light up my life Oh I'm flying up on the wings of love And I know that you come from him above Holding hands we walk together Nothing's gonna make us part That our love will last forever Is the song that's in our heart Making love is oh so sweet We're locked in each other's arms And our bodies feel this heat That's the answer to love ( ) Now I'm living in a love dream Time and days are passing by Now I really know how love feels Can't help smiling all the time When you're with me pretty girl I feel your warmth by my side When you touch me pretty girl Dreams of joy I can't hide |

I leave as I enter, another boy caught in-between
Now all I can muster are whispers to your screams Don't you remember how you eased my disgrace? Don't you remember the love you saw in my face? Perfected in silence A physical presence I sought affection, but now I realize A cold rejection, the movement in your eyes But I can rememeber when you shook against me I can remember when I saw what love could be Perfected in silence A physical presence Ain't what she did, it's the way that she did it When I couldn't give, only she could forgive it Ain't what she did, it's the way that she did it As long as I live, it's for me to relive it... ... silence ... Part of the answer is that there's really no escape Part of the answer is that life can have such perfect shape Don't you remember all the nights you shared in my disgrace? Don't you remember that the love that filled this empty space was... ... perfected in silence? A physical presence Perfected in silence A physical presence |

Reaching to another day
And the world is just one step away Making money, aiming blind It's time to change - leave it all behind Turn it on - whenever you can Turn it on - you know that you can Hear the echo's in you heart turn your mind in - then - make a start Anything you want to be Will soon become reality - then you'll see Turn it on - whenever you can Turn it on - you know that you can You're out of touch - so turn it on You don't need much - to burn it on Take a different point of view And discover just what you can do Getting closer every day Now the world is just a step away - (dont'delay) Turn it on - whenever you can Turn it on - you know that you can You hit the top - so turn it on You'll never stop - just burn it on Turn it on (turn it on) - whenever you can Turn it on (groovin'on) - you know that you can Turn it on (turn it on, yeah) - whenever you can Turn it on (just movin'on) - you know that you can Turn it on Turn it on Turn it on Turn it on |

stuck inside my harvard box
behind the door the bauhaus locked I'm wrestling with a new ideal I'm working out the way I feel I just came back from Cultureburg where I tried to learn the painted word people there were so convinced it's kept me thinking ever since crazy, but true I want to believe like you "come with me", the teacher said "no side-to-side, look straight ahead 'cause if you want true confidence you'd best forget your common sense. go find yourself a point of view and if you need some help to choose just dance the dance named after me if you believe then you will see" crazy, but true now I believe in you there was a time when we could make head nor tail of the story now it's sublime and we're not afraid anymore 'cause we're all true believers solo. so tell me it's true I want to believe in you crazy, but true I want to believe in you blind faith makes such strange demands sometimes a think I'll never understand answers on a postcard, please I'd like to know what you believe true believers ... are you a true believer (I wanna believe in you) |

Sold in silence
I never thought I could ever fall so deep now I need to know how you feel and with a kiss I steal the silence from your lips hearts colliding making waves that will echo through the years never thought I would find a love so real and I know this I want the life that love can give now I know what it means a love so rare in years of wasted promises a love to care only love can make some sense of it a love affair and though it's only just begun a love to share when two hearts collide and beat as one now I know you care and I'll provide you with a dream that will never disappear with the words that I know you want to hear without end I've found a love I will defend now you know what I mean (repeat Chorus) |

The time has come for dreaming
Don't feel tired but I feel a need to sleep 'cause my life takes on new meaning When I close my eyes and you reveal yourself to me That's our time, time for changes A time for reason, something only you can see All my life I have waited For a chance to give the love only you demand of me Fame and success are poor relations The more I get, the less I need it Happiness is an unknown sensation My heart has a hunger and only you can feed it. Come on - in my dreams tonight Show me - where to start Come on - I need to shed some light I wanna sleep on my heart In the past, for protection When someone got too close Yet another bridge would burn But I can find no connection Between the love that you propose And the lessons that I've learned I want to hear your explanation You'll never know how much I need it I want my tears to bear your reflection 'cause my heart has a hunger and only you can feed it. Come on - in my dreams tonight Show me - where to start Come on - I need to shed some light I wanna sleep on my heart I'm sitting here surrounded by possessions Objects that confront me night and day The fruits of my material obsession But it seems the more I earn, the more I have to pay Yoy've made it clear that blind ambition Leads nowhere and I don't need it I've lost all my fear, all my inhibitions My heart has a hunger, but I know you can feed it Come on - in my dreams tonight Show me - where to start Come on - I need to shed some light I wanna sleep on my heart |

As I watch your face
I can see my life go by You mean everyhing 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 yo 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 n your eyes But it can't go on Your love games |
