Underworld, the queen of pearls
Catches the light that's in your eyes.
She has desires, and has to get higher,
Trying to love the whole world.
Mother of pearl
She's a charity girl,
Giving herself away
To some body and soul.
Paradise if you pay the price
Inlaid with love she satisfies.
She has to pray alone everyday,
Lying in wait for the whole wide world.
Mother of pearl
She's a charity girl,
Giving herself away
To some body and soul.
Black see-through
Dressed to kill and cast her spell,
Sequins of fire for her love's desire,
She's drifting away from her open shell.
Mother of pearl
She's a charity girl,
Giving herself away
To some body and soul.

I thought I had been every place a man could be
'Till I met a lady who brought me to my knees
The day I stop loving is the day that I die
But now I'm running from her game 'cause the lady is a lie

I've got a choice
Run away or be torn to shreds
I've got a life and I want to live
Don't want to be dead

I met her down in the underground
Got a taste of the low life, just creepin' around
I got what I came for and more, that's for sure
'Cause now I'm running from her game, can't take any more

I've got a choice
Run away or be torn to shreds
I've got a life and I want to live
Don't want to be dead

When I first met you, baby
I knew you could come on strong
But when you held a knife to me
You know, that just ain't too friendly
I've heard of liberated,
But that's so understated
I should have listened to them
When they told me you were crazy
And you said I was a runaway

You shone out of the darkness
The light in your eyes.
I could not help myself
I did not want to try.

Like the singing of the Lorelei
Your voice rang clear and true
Mystery and danger was all I got from you.
Oh, you mesmerized me, oh, you tantalized,
Like the singing of the Lorelei.

And you knew everything
There was to know about me.

Like the singing of the Lorelei
Your voice rang clear and true
Mystery and danger was all I got from you.
Oh, you mesmerized, oh, you tantalized
Like the voice of the Lorelei.

She was born in a spirit of brightness
Knew just how to deal with poison wine.

Be very brave, she taught me to behave
On the road that is so long.
Be not afraid of tears,
When you know the love
Then you can know no fear.

When you know love
You can know no fear.

She looks on from her realm within the other
Now she's fighting hard to keep her sovereignty.



She will live forever
In her spirit of brightness
She will always deal with poison wine.
To stay alive
She taught me to survive
In the face of every trial.
Be not afraid of tears
When you know the love
Then you can know no fear.

When you know love
You can know no fear.

Lonely on an island shore
There's no one around.
The day is grown older now
As I catch the thought of you.

I lay awake at night
With you on my mind;
Sleep drifts over me
But still I can see you.

I knew that I wasn't dreaming anymore.


Softly, your hair in my hands
And your eyelashes opened the door.

How could we love each other
And yet be so remote?
You were carried by a changing tide
I was stranded on the shore.

You made me feel good
After all this time,
Welcomed me home
With my name in lights,
Took me by the hand,
Shook away my fear,
Brought back the memory
Of those earlier years.
Everybody's talkin', front page news.
Gotta help you get up
And get rid of your blues.
Cheatin' the devil, or whatever you choose,
Even if you've got nothin', boy,
You've got somethin' to lose.

You've got the...


Eatin' out of your hand.
Got the answer if you've got the time.
Can't go on forever in lotus land,
Don't end up doing one night stands.

I've seen your face in every cloud,
I've followed the sun
Which brought me back to your side.
I've lived some time
By what the fortune-tellers say,
But now I know in love with u.k.

Everybody's talkin', front page news.

Will you be my midnight dancer
Any time of the day?
You can be my sweet romancer
I want to hear you say.

When love's between us,
Come on, baby, don't turn away.
Don't let go.
Love makes the music,
You can't stop the feelin',
Free will stealin' your heart away.

Stealin' your heart away
Love makes the music
And you know it's the feelin'
Free will stealin' your heart away.
I want to steal your heart away.

I'm tired of bein' a sleepwalker
On the run,


I want to be your love talker
In the night, the sun.

Oh, love makes the music,
And you know it's the feelin'
Free will stealin' your heart away
Gonna steal your heart away.

Now we can put our hearts together
With nothin' to hide.
Baby, it could last forever
Put your ... aside.

Love makes the music,
And you know it's the feelin'
Free will stealin' your heart away.
I want to steal your heart away.

I'll never write another song
For someone who just comes along -
The very thought of losing you
Is too much for me to.

The other day when you got mad,
It made you happy to see me sad.
I wish to tell you it's still the same,
Still playing that same old game.

It's goodbye baby, hello friend,
It's good to meet you after all this time.
Goodbye baby, hello friend,
It's good to see you again. (Repeat)

Those days and nights I lost,
Thinking 'bout what to do -
When all it's really down to, baby,
Is saying that we're through.

So give your love to the birds,
Speaking of four-letter words.
Do you hear what I say to you?
I'm not in love with you.

Goodbye baby, hello friend,
It's good to see you again. (Repeat)

Surface, surface, surface,
It's beginning to show.
To air, to air, to air,
To where you can go.
Abrasion can wear you away.
All you wanted was to go out and play.
Time to fix this crack in the eagle
Before she flies away.

Smokin', smokin', smokin',
Makin' cloudier skies.
Today, today, see the stars.
Two terrestrial minds stay shy.
Monkey, monkey, wanna play around,
But get confused when flames burn your hand.


Got to fix this ache in the eagle
So she can understand.

Surface, surface, surface,
It's beginning to rise.
To air, to air, to air,
To where you can realize
Can scare you away.
Who knows how much is too much to say?
Try to fix this ache in the eagle
Before she flies away, flies away.

I had troubles aplenty,
My pockets were empty
From livin' out on the sidewalk.
Footsteps takin' me nowhere,
But where can you go when you don't know
What it is you're lookin' for?

Just as I was a desperate man
You made the sun start to shine,
You said,"baby, come in from the rain".

You could see down the stitches and patches
That were holdin' me together,
So with stolen faces, hand in hand,
We made footsteps together for musicland.



Used to be I had troubles aplenty,
My pockets were empty, yeah,
From the bad life on the back streets.
But when your footsteps are takin' you nowhere
Where can you go and what can you do
When you don't know what you're lookin' for?

Hey, just as I reached the real world
You made the sun start to shine,
You said,"baby, come in out of the rain".
Oh, yeah, I said you made the sun start to shine,
Oh, baby, come in from the rain.

Like to have you 'round
With all the lies that you make
The things or darkness and you
Some people say, have just a taste
Right or wrong, you might get burned
What you gain is what you learn

Got one too many women
Don't know quite which way to go
They're all gettin' so expensive
When they walk by themselves
Right or wrong, don't regret
What you went for is what you get

No point in bitter tears
When someone else has cut you down
'Cause there's a time for leavin'
And there's a time for stickin' around, hey
Right or wrong, you've got to live
So what you collect is what you give

Is it a crime to love a woman,
To give her everything?
People change, she goes away,
And you're left with nothing.
You've been together for so long,
That's what's makin' it hard,
Just like an old-fashioned noose.
You cry some tears, and you move along.

In your arms I was singin',
Now my ears are ringin'
To hear your heart beat for another man.

Can you be in love again


When you've been burned through and through?
Having to stop with an open heart
Leaves a lot to lose.
'cause you've been together for so long,
That's what's makin' it hard,
Just like an old-fashioned noose.
You cry some tears, move along.

In your arms I was singin',
Now my ears are ringin'
To hear your heart beat for another man.

When I was a stranger to you in the night
And the feeling tells you, out of sympathy,
To open up your wings, turn your head to the sky,
Take off like a bird, let your heart be free.

I found deep feeling devotion
The day that I found your love.

I can see above the diamond-studded sky,


Hear the sound of night life passing by,
Scent the early morning with every breath of air,
Taste the secret potion that we both share.

I found deep feeling devotion
The day I found your love.

As the dealer dealt the cards to everyone,
I could see that I was free.
I had an ace of hearts, the dream of every man,
And I could see my destiny.
I can not justify the way I play,
But only see them as they fall.


The diamond jack
Black magical lady luck,
Who will show me the way.

When you have your freedom


Without worldly care,
Around human share.
Along the way there's evil waitin' for you,
And evil's not judge and jury, but yourself.

When you're tired to the bone
Remembrance gone,
And you have cast your dice,
Take your chances as they come, one by one,
The hand of fate is as cold as ice.
