Everybody looks so spaced out there Busy bowing to the priests of noise Turn it up and make it drown out the warning Bad news for the girls and boys Everybody looks so romantic Acting like it's nothing at all Looking for Number One Working for the week and Living to the beat
[Chorus:] Dance this world away Dance this world away Dance this world away Dance this world away
I see people all dressed like Nero Fiddling while Rome burns in strife Personal responsibility zero, we've lost that rhythm of life There's a shadow on our bright horizon It won't be manna falling out of the sky The hard rain hits everyone Working for the week and Living to the beat
[Chorus]
Somewhere there is a ship that's sinking Why do I think that nobody knows Looking out for Number One Working through the week and Dancing to the back beat

My father's chair's still standing there All alone since the long night Now it's three years on and I still feel He'll come home, we'll be alright So where's this healing time brings I was told the pain would ease But it still hurts like the first night
That night my brother, my mother and I Were looking up at a distant star And wishing we could reach that far And back in the house And alone for the first time We told each other we cared We avoided my father's chair
I watch my family, we hold on We are strong and we'll be alright The clock continues counting down, All the while And every child will share the long night But do the spirits meet again Why am I still so filled with doubt Is my soul everlasting
And the far distant future When I knew you'd be gone Came too fast and stays too long Why do they leave the weak of spirit And take the strong
But wherein the world turns sour And I get sick from the smell And I can't find no comfort there I climb into my father's chair
We don't talk much We don't make live like we used to And I stay guarded I've got walls and triggers I never thought I had And so do you But this is love And that's the way we seem content to play it
I touch your clothes when you're e gone I let your scent wash over me You cry at night and you wish just like a child That we were how we used to be
There's' a stranger in the house In the house There's a stranger in the house In the house There's 's a stranger in the house In the house And she looks like somebody from a lifetime ago
I stonewall you, you stonewall me But we both know that Hiding deep inside us Lives the love that we try hard to lose And never will But this is war And that's the way we seem content to fight it
I get so angry and confused 'cause I want out but I want you You can't decide between moving out Or moving in You don't know what to do
With a stranger in the house In the house There's a stranger in the house In the house There's a stranger in the house In the house And she looks like you And he looks like me
Is this the same girl That I fought so hard to win And now I fight to lose her Now I feel that it's just like skin to skin And nerve to nerve Strung out like wire Is that the way we are content to live
We face off in anger In rooms once filled with love Looking for a chink in the armour Where we can stab the blade What are we thinking of
There's a stranger in the house In the house There's a stranger in the house In the hou
The light of spirit burns in everyone The diamond's buried deep-surrender When the heart is ready the teacher will come Nothing remains without change-surrender The tao of heaven shines in every eye The diamond's buried deep-surrender It's a gateless gate for those who never try Nothing remains without change-surrender The light of spirit burns in everyone The diamonds buried deep-surrender When the heart is ready the teacher will come Nothing remains without change-surrender The tao of heaven shines in every eye The diamond's buried deep-surrender It's a gateless gate for those who never try
I got so many thoughts jumping out of my head And I can't sit still I'm thinking about the universe I'm looking at life on earth I can't shut the camera shutter
I stare at the clock, and the years slip away And I stay confused
I'm dreaming about la raison d'etre I'm frightened by the toxic threat I can't stop the motor running
People saying I should learn some self-control But I just want to exorcise my soul
And walk like a man, walk like a man I still feel like a boy And you feel like a girl in my hand I'm gonna walk like a man, walk like a man I'm still waiting on the revelation Here in never-never land
I got so many things jumpin' out of my brain And I feel so strange I'm crazy about the car I drive While people struggle just to stay alive I can't put the two together
I stare in the bathroom mirror at my face God, I look so pale Lines crawl across my face I'm runnin in the human race, yeah Me first, who am I kidding
Where is this peace that comes with age Someone show me to my cage
Where I can walk like a man, walk like a man I still feel like a boy And you feel like a girl in my hand I'm gonna walk like a man, walk like a man I'm still waiting on the revelation Here in never-never land (When it finally hits me then) (And only then, I'll understand) Waiting for the revolution here In never-never land
Where is this peace that comes with age Will somebody take me to the stage
Where I can walk like a man, walk like a man Walk, walk like a man Walk like a man Walk like a man Walk like a man-ac
Keep on, keep on, whispering in the night There's no problem if it's not in sight In the face of annihilation We still plan futures for the children Keep on whispering in the night People talk but it's just "cocktail chatter" What we say, anyway, doesn't really matter
Everybody, time is tight We're walking on the edge Of the long black night From the left and from the right They're walking on the edge Of the long black night And waiting on the big bang
Wake up, wake up, yes this is your life too The light of spirit also burns in you In the face of extermination We still plan future for the children Get up, yes this is your life too We talk and talk and shake our heads in wonder Nothing that we can do Can stop us from going under
Everybody, time is tight We're walking on the edge Of the long black night From the left and from the right They're walking on the edge Of the long black night And waiting on the big bang
I sit here and contemplate my future And all the songs that we all sing Don't really do a thing
Everybody, time is tight We're walking on the edge Of the long black night From the left and from the right They're walking on the edge Of the long black night And waiting on the big bang
I think that somewhere along the line (And it's said, all things return to you in time) I must have finally opened up to your love Though I was building a wall at heaven's gate (Everything comes to those who wait) You must have found a secret path into my soul And now you're part of my life I can't believe that this is mine Every light has its time to shine
Is it the power of love Is it the power of love Is this the tao of love I feel the power of love
Caught up in the famous paper chase (in you eyes, I saw how I never fell from grace) And I heard the battle's not always To the strong (The race is not always to the fleet) And the one who seeks to pluck the stars Will miss the jewels at his feet Blinded by momentary power We almost had the final hour I'll never know what caused the change in me
Was it the power of love Is it the power of love Is this the tao of love I feel the power of love
Is it the power of love Is it the power of love Is this the tao of love I feel the power of love
And I thought anything for the cause is worth the price (Losing you was the sharp edge of the knife) Now no more fear, the way is clear I know you are the power in my life So better late than never 'cause this heart is yours forever I'll never know what caused the change in me
Was it the power of love Is it the power of love Is this the tao of love I feel the power of love
Is it the power of love Is it the power of love Is this the tao of love I feel the power of love
I think that somewhere along the line (And it's said all
I know your name I told you mine We've stopped and passed the time of day You work in town I work at night That gives us six until seven to work this out
If I seem a little strange It's just the state of the heart I'm waiting here for you In the state I'm in
You are the moon I am the sea You pull me in and gaze on down at me I was alone I thought I was immune The door can still be open wide
If I feel a little strange It's just the state of the heart I'm waiting here for you In the state I'm in It's just the state of the heart I wait in the dark I the state I'm in
We get closer and closer To falling out or falling in I go over and over But I can't change the state This heart is in
If I seem a little strange It's just the state of the heart I'm waiting here for you In the state I'm in It's just the state of the heart You know I wait in the dark In the state I'm in It 's the state of the heart The state of the heart, oh The state of the heart The state of the heart, oh

You look a little lonely, babe, a little blue You know you're not the only one, I'm lonely too I been surviving just day by day I had some dreams but they all blew away
And then I saw your face across a crowded room My heart missed a beat, oh, did you feel it too To trust someone you just gotta be bold The wall that you're building is crumbling, oh
Why don't we break it down Why don't we break it down, pretty baby It's gonna, it's gonna take Take just one kiss, just one kiss It's gonna, it's gonna take Take just one kiss To break it down
You look a little lonely, babe, a little blue I said you're not the only one, I'm lonely too I can't deny my heart anymore You give me a feeling that I can't ignore
You try to play it safe, but you're not really shy You try to look away, but I caught your eye You can't hide, it's all over your face The barrier between us is losing its place
Why don't we break it down Why don't we break it down, pretty baby It's gonna, it's gonna take Take just one kiss, just one kiss It's gonna, it's gonna take, Take just one kiss, yeah just one kiss, It's gonna, it's gonna take Take just one kiss To break it down

You can see her walking down on a city street, The American girl She's got the passion in her eyes She's got the blush on her cheeks, The American girl
I love to watch her move, her body sways She whispers then she laughs Did you hear what she says I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me Doing things her daddy can't see
The American girl, out in the dark She's looking for love, oh oh The American girl, she breaks hearts But that's not enough She's such a mystery to me
Love is full of intrigue And full of Bogart mystique, the American girl She's got the promise in the night The romance in the back seat, the American girl
I love to watch her move, her body sways She whispers then she laughs Did you hear what she says I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me Doing things her daddy can't see
The American girl, out in the dark She's looking for love, oh oh The American girl, she breaks hearts But that's not enough She's such a mystery to me
And she stares at herself In the harsh white light And she draws in her cheeks Just like the model So unsure of herself in the big wide world The American girl
The American girl, out in the dark She's looking for love, oh oh The American girl, she breaks hearts But that's not enough She's such a mystery to me
The American girl, out in the dark She's looking for love, oh oh The American girl, she breaks hearts But that's not enough
The American girl, out in the dark She's looking for love, oh oh The American girl, she breaks hearts
You know my feelings run deep You've got me calling your name in my sleep We've held each other while we cried through the night It always turned out alright
But I fell victim to a parallax view I sensed a change but I swore it was you I shied away when you needed me most I didn't see what I was doing, now I'm left destitute
I never knew how lost I could be till today My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away I can't seem to bridge this break between us two Don't you know I need you back now, baby Can't you see I'm still crazy for you
We've thrived in shadows from scene to scene My mind still wanders to the Tavern on the Green We lived for moments that we stole away They seem as vivid today
We had our problems, and we hadn't the time You clung to your and I did to mine Didn't I see how they tore us apart Now I'm a banished refugee, there's nothing left for me
I never knew how lost I could be till today My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away I can't seem to bridge this break between us two Don't you know I need you back now, baby Can't you see I'm still crazy for you
I never knew how lost I could be till today My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away I can't seem to bridge this break between us two Don't you know I need you back now, baby Can't you see I'm still crazy for you Still crazy for you, still crazy for you I'm so crazy for you, still crazy for you
Well I'm sick of hanging out on the street Every Saturday night with the boys Listening to the radio's big beat We crank it just to hear the noise
Yeah we talk about the girls, girls, girls And we talk, talk, talk all night Sure we're all Romeos and Casanovas But we can't seem to get it right
Seems I'm making it harder and harder While everybody else is doing well I get confused by their bodies I get tangled in their curls How do you talk to girls How do you talk to girls What's a poor boy to do Tell me how do you talk to girls? How do you talk to girls?
I see this girl over there right away I'm trying to think of something to say Well I think I'll have one more drink I'll be ready to make my play But this guy moves in and he talks to her And she nods her head Well I'm used to missing out on the girl But I want to know what he said
Seems I'm making it harder and harder While everybody else is doing well I get confused by their bodies I get tangled in their curls How do you talk to girls? How do you talk to girls? What's a poor boy to do I'm tangled up in their curls
How do you talk to girls? How do you talk to girls? Out of wisdom and out of pearls Tell me how do you talk to girls
Am I stupid or misunderstood I'd say something clever if I only could We're only ten feet apart But it feels like the world..
When you were just a young girl and still in school How come you never learned the golden rule Don't talk to strange men, don't be a fool I'm hearing stories, I don't think that's cool
Why don't you tell me, someone is loving you Cause you're my girl, some say it's no longer true You're seeing some slick continental dude I'm begging you, please
Don't Talk To Strangers, baby don't you talk Don't Talk To Strangers, You know he'll only use you up Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk, Don't talk, don't talk to him Nobody, talk, nobody, ever told you, don't talk
Now tell me, how's life in the big city I hear the competition's tough, baby that's a pity And every man's an actor, every girl is pretty I don't like what's getting back to me
Now who's this, Don Juan I've been hearing of Love hurts when only one's in love Did you fall at first sight or did you need a shove I'm begging you, please
Don't Talk To Strangers, baby don't you talk Don't Talk To Strangers, You know he'll only use you up Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk, Don't talk, don't talk to him Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, don't talk
*Fais l'amour avec moi (*Make love to me) What's he saying baby *Viens dormir, mon amour (*Come to sleep my love) I asked you not to talk to him *Je t'aime donne moi ton coeur ce soir (*I like you to give me your heart this night) I'm begging you
Don't Talk To Strangers, baby don't you talk Don't Talk To Strangers, You know he'll only use you up Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk,
