Cause I love you, yes I love you
It’s no secret, everybody knows how I feel
It’s no secret, when I say my love is real
Cause I love you, yes I love you

It’s no secret, everybody knows how I feel
(Break)
As I get older the years they get heavy for you, oh
Is it any wonder why I feel like my whole life is through, yeah
When I stop feeling how strong my love is for you, oh
Knowin I’ll be empty wanting your love like I do
It’s no secret, no, when you got me jumping up and down
It’s no secret, cause my heart is chained and bound
I love you, yes I love you, yeah
It’s no secret, no, everybody knows how I feel
It’s no secret, no, everybody knows how I feel, yeah
It's no secret, yeah
SOMEBODY TO LOVE
When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joys within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
And your mind your mind is full of red
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his, yeah
But in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
(Break)
Tears are running ah running down your breast
And your friends baby they treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
WHITE RABBIT
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go, chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the door mouse said
Feed your head, Feed your head
EMBRYONIC JOURNEY
INSTRUMENTAL
PLASTIC FANTASTIC LOVER
Her neon mouth, with a bleeding talk smile
Nothing but electric sign
You could say she has an individual style
She's a part of a carnival time
Super sealed lady
Chrome coloured clothes you wear
Cause you have no other
But I suppose, no one knows
You're my plastic fantastic lover
Her rattling cough never shuts off
Is nothing but a used machine
Her aluminum finish, slightly diminished
Is the best I ever have seen
Cosmetic baby, plugged into me
And never ever find another
And I realize, no one's wise
To my plastic fantastic lover
(Break)
The electrical dust is starting to rust
Her trapezoid thermometer taste
All the red tape is mechanical rape
Of the TV program waste
Data control and IBM
Science is mankind's brother
But all I see is draining me
On my plastic fantastic lover
COMIN' BACK TO ME
The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long
The winter looked the same as if it had never gone
And through an open window where no curtain hung
I saw you, I saw you
Coming back to me
One begins to read between the pages of a look
The shape of sleepy music and suddenly you're hooked
Through the rain upon the trees that kisses on the run
I saw you, I saw you
Coming back to me
You came to stay and live my way
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind
You always say you won't go away
But I know what it always has been
It always has been
A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh
Most of the time I just let it go by
Now I wish it hadn't begun
I saw you, yes I saw you
Coming back to me
Strolling the hills overlooking the shore
I realize I've been here before
The shadow in the mist could have been anyone
I saw you, I saw you
Coming back to me
Small things like reasons are put in a jar
Whatever happened to wishes, wished on a star
Was it just something that I made up for fun
I saw you, I saw you
Coming back to me
THE BALLAD OF YOU AND ME AND POONEIL
If you were a bird and you lived very high
Knew even the wind as the breeze came by
Say to the wind as it took you away
That's where I wanted to go today
And I do know that I need to have you around
And I do know that I need to have you around
Love like a mountain springtime
Flashing through the rivers of my mind
It's what I feel for you
You and me go walking south
And we see, all the world around us
The colors blind my eyes and my mind to all but you
And I do know that I need to have you around
And I do
I do know that I need to have you around
Around
(Break)
I have a house where I can go
When there's too many people around me
I can sit and watch all the people
Down below goin' by me
Halfway down the stair is a stair
Where I sit and think about you and me
But I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin' by
Will the moon still hang in the sky when I die
When I die, (when I'm high) when I die
If you were a cloud and you sailed up there
You sail on water as blue as air
You'd see me here in the fields and say
Doesn't the sky look green today
But I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin' by
Will the moon still hang in the sky when I die (when I die)
When I die, when I'm high, when I die, die, die, die
GREASY HEART
Lady, you keep asking why he likes you how come
Wonder why he wants more if he just had some
Boys, she's got more to play with in the way of toys
Ladies eyes go off and on with a finger full of glue
Lips are drawn upon her face in come to me tattoo
Creamy suntan color that fades when she bathes
Paper dresses catch on fire, and you lose her in the haze
Don't ever change lady, he likes you that way
Because he's just had his hair done and he wants to use your wig
He's going off the drug thing cause his veins are getting big
He wants to sell his paintings but the market is slow
They're only paying him two grams now, for a one-man abstract show
Don't ever change people even if you can
You are your own best toy to play with, remote control hands
Made for each other, made in Japan
Woman with a greasy heart, automatic man
Don't ever change people your face will hit the fan
Don't ever change people even if you can
Don't change before the empire falls
You'll laugh so hard you'll crack the walls
LATHER
Lather was thirty years old today
They took away all of his toys
His mother sent newspaper clippings to him
About his old friends who'd stopped being boys
There was Harwitz E. Green, just turned thirty-three
His leather chair waits at the bank
And Seargent Dow Jones, twenty-seven years old
Commanding his very own tank
But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do
To lie about nude in the sand
Drawing pictures of mountains that look like bumps
And thrashing the air with his hands
But wait, oh Lather's productive you know
He produces the finest of sound
Putting drumsticks on either side of his nose
Snorting the best licks in town
But that's all over
Lather was thirty years old today
And Lather came foam from his tongue
He looked at me eyes wide and plainly said
Is it true that I'm no longer young
And the children call him famous
What the old men call insane
And sometimes he's so nameless
That he hardly knows what game to play, which words to say
And I should have told him, no, you're not old
And I should have let him go on, smiling, babywide
CROWN OF CREATION
You are the Crown of Creation
You are the Crown of Creation
And you've got no place to go
Soon you'll attain the stability you strive for
In the only way that it's granted
In a place among the fossils of our time
(Break)
In loyalty to their kind
They cannot tolerate our minds
In loyalty to our kind
We cannot tolerate their obstruction
(Break)
Life is Change, how it differs from the rocks
I've seen their ways too often for my liking
New worlds to gain
My life is to survive, and be alive, for you
WOODEN SHIPS
If you smile at me you know I will understand
Cause that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language
Well I can see by your coat my friend that you're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please who won
You must try some of my purple berries
I been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
Very free and easy
Sail away where the mornin sun goes high
Sail away where the wind blows sweet and young birds fly
Take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this barren land
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cry
Stare as all you human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us
Go and take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this foreign land
Somewhere where we might laugh again
We are leaving you don't need us
You don't need us
Sailing ships on the water very free and easy
Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
Very free and gone
No, no, no, no...
Go ride the music, go ride the music, go ride the music...

GOOD SHEPHERD
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the blood stained bandit
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
One for Paul
One for Silas
One for to make my heart rejoice
Can't you hear my lambs a'callin'
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the long tongue liar
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
One for Paul
One for Silas
One for to make my heart rejoice
Can't you hear my lambs a'callin'
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
(Break)
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
One for Paul
One for Silas
One for to make my life complete
Can't you hear my lambs a'callin'
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep
HAVE YOU SEEN THE SAUCERS
Have you seen the saucers
Have you seen the saucers
Do you know that people love them
What happened with the way that we care for our brother
Have you seen the saucers
Tranquility base
There goes the neighborhood
The American garbage dumped in space and no room left for brotherhood
Have you seen our saucers
See our lights in your western skies (California's rainbow skies)
Government tells you another missile is flying
Have you any idea why they're lying to you
To your faces, did they tell you
Have you seen our saucers
Have you seen our saucers
Start children on the black road to salvation
Children of the forest and child of the Woodstock nation
You gotta play off all the needs of your planet
Catch the dawn that once was now
First born atomic generation
Open the door don't you know that's what it's for
Come an join us on the other side of the sun
PRETTY AS YOU FEEL
You're only pretty as you feel
Only Pretty as you feel inside
You're only pretty as you feel
Just as Pretty as you feel inside
When you wake up in the morning
Rub some sleep from your eyes
Look inside your mirror
Comb your hair
Don't give no vanity a second thought
No no no
Beauty's only skin deep
It goes just so far cause
You're only pretty as you feel
As Pretty as you feel inside
You're only pretty as you feel
So good building yourself up
On a plastic face
A little bit of soap will wipe away
Any grease
Cause
You're only pretty as you feel
You're only pretty as you feel inside
Strut
(Break)
So now you're feeling so great
Now you're feeling so good
Now you're ready to face the world
Now you're feeling good
Go out there and knock them silly, girl
Go out there, show 'em how to thrill
Go out there, show 'em how to thrill
Cause
You're only pretty as you feel
You're only pretty as you feel
You're only pretty as you feel
(Pretty as you feel inside)
You're only pretty as you feel
Feeling pretty, feeling pretty
You're only pretty as you feel
Feeling so pretty, feeling so pretty
Feeling so pretty, feeling so pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty...
THIRD WEEK IN THE CHELSEA
Sometimes I feel like I am leaving life behind
My hands are moving faster than the movement of my mind
Thoughts and generations of my dreams are yet unborn
I hope that I will find them 'fore my moving gets too worn
If only I could live to see the dawning of the dawn
So we go on moving trying to make this image real
Straining every nerve not knowing what we really feel
Straining every nerve ending and everybody sees
That what they read in the Rolling Stone has really come to be
And trying to avoid a taste of that reality
On an early New York mornin' a mirror in the hall
Showed to me a face I didn't know at all
Lines were drawn around a pair of eyes that opened wide
When I looked into the mouth found nothin' left inside
So I walked into the little room and whistled like a sigh
As dawn light closed around me, know my head was still in gear
Thinking thoughts of playing more and singing loud and clear
Trying to reach a friend somewhere and make that person smile
Maybe pull myself away from that old lonesome mile
That often comes to haunt me in the morning
All my friends keep telling me that it would be a shame
To break up such a grand success and tear apart a name
But all I know is what I feel whenever I'm not playin'
Emptiness ain't where it's at and neither's feeling pain
Well now what is going to happen now is anybody's guess
If I can't spend my time with love I guess I need a rest
Time is getting late now and the sun is getting low
My body's getting tired, of carryin' another's load
And sunshine's waiting for me a little further down the road
LONG JOHN SILVER
Long John Silver ring in his ear
He's the hero, make that clear
Does the same thing his father did
Sailing around the Caribbean
Robbing kings with his talking parrot
This time I think he's on the high side
Scabs are forming, scraped his knee
Guards are warning, a bad man is free
He's like electric clock that needs no winding
Keeps the time without your hand
Western feet need no binding
Take a barefoot run through old Japan
(Break)
He's seen a thousand countries, they're all the same
Some men are crazy, some of them sane
But all men are ruled by a flag or a game
And he knows nobody's got you if you don't
If you don't sign your name
Long John Silver serves no king
No land holds him
That's why he feels like, just like singing
Every country now and then
Roars like Irish drunk and singing
Every monk will now and then
Call his men to hear the wenches night bells ringing
CAROLINE
Oh what can I tell you now Caroline
Should I hurt your feelings or keep on lyin'
One thing leads to another and another
Another and another besides
You always know whenever I wanna make love
Yeah, and you always know all the changes I'm going through
Just as if you can read my mind
Caroline you know everything I do
There just ain't no words to describe
How I feel inside for you
Yet somewhere out there
Waitin' on a wonder
You'll lend wings to my words
Somewhere when the band is gone
And the music of my song
Is just right for lovers
You're what I want more than anything else
I love you yeah I do
But I know when I'm all by myself
Nothin' is real but my feelings and desires for you
Cause everything looks like some sort of scenery
Stored in an empty theatre
With stars on the ground fences in the sky
And tears in the curtain of time
Oh what can I tell you now, my Caroline
Except that somewhere out there
Waitin' on a wonder
You'll lend wings to my words
Somewhere, when the band is gone
And the music of my song
Is just right for lovers
Your lovin' keeps on rollin'
Caroline, your lovin' keeps me rollin'
Rollin' all the time
(Break)
Baby somewhere out there
You really roll me, roll me away
Baby somewhere out there
You roll me, roll me away
And when the melody makes me surrender
Dark eyed girl, I always remember that you love me
Somewhere out there you really love me
In time to the music how you love me
Wildly in my heart girl you love me
You roll me away
You always fill my heart with wonder
You always fill my soul with love
You always fill my lips with kisses
You always fill my eyes with tears
It's like a wind from the other side of the world
Like a far off pack of hounds
Sounds like a whole universe just a'throbbin' with life
The lights from my eyes hypnotize me
Like the gaze of a mantis
Why even Atlantis sank beneath
The waves in a day and a night
Oh, but in a day and a night
I could write you a symphony
It would be just like a bird
And carry my love over the mountains
Cause somewhere out there
Waitin' on a wonder
You'll lend wings to my words
Somewhere when the band is gone
And the music of my song
Is just right for lovers
You always fill my heart with wonder
You always fill my soul with love
You always fill my lips with kisses
You always fill my eyes with tears
Oh I cry Caroline
Oh I cry Caroline
Oh now cry now now
Oh I cry Caroline
RIDE THE TIGER
I want to ride, ride the tiger
I want to ride, ride the tiger
It will be black and white in the dead of night
Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight
I want to ride, ride the tiger
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
Tell you about salt, carbon and water
But a tear to a Chinese man
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow
Or the love of a man and a woman
I want to ride, ride the tiger
And I want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you
We got something to learn from the other side
Something to give, we got nothing to hide
I want to ride, ride the tiger
Black wants out of the streets
Yellow wants the country
Red wants the country back
And white wants out of this world
Sing, sing to the sky
(Break)
I want to ride, ride the tiger
I want to ride, ride the tiger
Look to the summer of seventy-five
All the world is gonna come alive
Do you want to ride, ride the tiger
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
He'll tell you about salt, carbon and water
But a tear to an oriental man
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow
Or the love of a man and a woman
It's like a tear, it's like love
It's like a tear, it's like love
Do you want to ride
Do you want to ride
DISC 2
MIRACLES
If only you believe like I believe, baby, like I believe,
We'd get by.
If only you believe(d) in miracles, so would I. (2x)
I might have to move heaven and earth to prove it to you, baby.
So we're making love, you feel the power and I feel the power.
And there's really nothing we can('t) do
(You know we could, you know we could)
If we wanted to...
(You know we could, you know we could)
We could exist on the stars, it was so easy.
(Oh Baby...)
All we got to do is get a little faith in you.
Woh, I've been so many places I've seen some things (yes I have)
I know that love is the answer (yes it is)
Keeps holding this world together (oh yeah)
Ain't nothing better? Ain't nothing better?(Nothing's better!)
And all the answers to our prayers,
Hell: it's the same everywhere. (just the same now)
Nothing ever breaks up the heart...(love's a game now)
...only your tears give you away (Ain't it a shame now).
When you're right where I found you...(oh baby)
...with my arms around you. (oh baby)
Baby, baby.
Love is a magic word if you ever find inner life
But from that very first look in your eyes I see you and I have but one
heart.
Only our bodies were apart... (it's making me crazy)
...that was so easy, so easy.
I had a taste of the real world... (Just a drop of it)
...when I went down on you, girl, oh.
I can hear windmills and rainbows whenever you talkin' to me
(never say never)
I feel like swirling and dancing whenever you walk in with me
You ripple like the river when I touch you (let me touch you)
Then I pluck your body like a string (show you what I mean)
Then I start dancing inside you (oh baby, a love song)
Oh baby in a love song, aw baby...
Oh Yeah, Yeah, All right
Baby we're sure doin' it tonight
Every time you come by let me try (come on by)
Pretty please, with sugar on it, that's how I like it, ugh.
I can't even believe it with you
It's like having every dream I ever wanted...(dream of a lifetime)
...come true.
I picked up your vibes, you know... (I'm having a fine time)
...it opened my mind but I'm still dreaming.
Yeah (sarcastic Grace mini-orgasm)
And you're right where I found you, with my arms around you!(oh baby).

COUNT ON ME
Precious love
I'll give it to you
Blue as the sky and deep in the
Eyes of a love so true
Beautiful face
You make me feel
Lite on the stairs and lost in the
Air of a love so real
And you can count on me girl
You can count on my love
Woman
You can count on me baby
You can count on my love to see
You through
Emerald eyes and China perfume
Caught in the wheel and lost in
The feel of a love so soon
Ruby lips
You make my song
Into the night and saved by the lite
Of a love so strong
Chorus: See you thru
....Oooh
You can count on me girl
You can count on my love

JANE
Jane you say it's all over for you and me girl
There's a time for love and a time for letting it be baby
Jane you're playing a game called, called hard to get by it's real name,
Making believe that you just don't feel the same. Oh Jane
Jane you're playing a game you never can win girl
You're staying away so I'll ask you where you been baby
Like a cat and a mouse, (Cat and a mouse) from door to door and house to house
Don't you pretend you don't know what I'm talking about
Were all those nights we spent together, hey hey
Only because you didn't know better, I gotta know
Jane, you're playin' a game, playin' a game, playin' a game
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
Ah Jane you're playing a game of hide and go seek
Jane you're playing for fun but I play for keeps, yes I do
(Jane, Jane, Jane) That's a game on me
(Jane, Jane, Jane) So plain to see
Janey Jane why you foolin' with me
(Jane, Jane, Jane)
FIND YOUR WAY BACK
You know it's been a long long road
Since I packed up and left on my own
And I can carry a heavy load
Just try 'n' get back to her heart
I sure ain't got no home
I seem to find love where I ramble
And when it's time to go
I hear that voice again, say 'n'
Chorus:
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Leave a message with the rain
You can find me where the wind blows
The snow across the pain
And the frost upon the heart
You got no place to be
Still you wonder where you're goin'
And why I had to leave
I hear a voice and it says to me
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
To her heart, c'mon
I know it's too late now
But I wish I could go back in time
And start all over somehow
And get it right from the start
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back
Find your way back to her heart
Find your way back (Find your way back) Find your way back
Find your way back (Find your way back) Find your way back
Find your way back (Find your way back) Find your way back
Find your way back (Find your way back) Find your way back...
STRANGER
Raindrops falling
Winter feels so gloomy
Hear the knock upon my door
Stranger calling
Eyes that look like mine
Said you know I've called before
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
Familiar stranger
Should I know your name
Did we meet some time ago
I feel uncertain
Shadows whisper to me now
Sudden wind begins to blow
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
Darkened doorways
Strangest things can happen
Don't know who you're talking to
Find yourself
When lightning strikes you now
You could be looking back at you
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
What is veiled now soon will be shown
Come walk with me through the unknown
Stranger
Familiar stranger
Should I know your name
Did we meet some time ago
Are you someone I should know
Did we meet sometime ago
BE MY LADY
I just look at you
And I'm hypnotized
Like I'm drowning now
Drowning in your eyes
You are beautiful
Past imagining
And I want you more
More than anything
And I cannot speak
And I've lost my sight
All my senses gone
Lost in you tonight
And I want...your love
Be my lady...be my lady
Do I ask too much
Do I want too much
Want to know you now
Want to feel your touch
You just look at me
Feel the fire start
Want to make you burn
Want to touch your heart
Chorus
Got a racng heart
And my minds a roar
Never felt like this
Never loved before
And it's dangerous
I would willingly
Burn to ashes now
If you'll stay with me
Chorus
NO WAY OUT
No intentions
Whatsoever
I was gone for a night
Nothing's forever
The cruel daylight
Brought me back to my senses (Back to my senses)
Got caught in here
Under false pretenses
No way out
None whatever
I made up the story
Thought it was clever
She didn't ask
And I got no reply (Got no reply)
But later that night
I heard her cry
Chorus:
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No accusations
Whatsoever
But can she forget
Nothing's forever
Since yesterday
She's a little bit colder (Little bit colder)
Won't happen again
What could I've told her
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
Doesn't buy my story
How can she tell the truth from the lies
When does she know when to close her eyes
She doesn't want to lose me
So she only sees what she wants to see
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out she doesn't buy my story
No way out, no way
No way out...
LAYIN' IT ON THE LINE
You see it every day in every way
We all hear the same routines
They all say that it's okay
Just let us take care of everything
So we lay it on the line
Chorus:
Layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Layin' it all, right on the line
Just layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Layin' it all, we're livin on the front line
I can see it in the faces
We got trouble in the streets tonight
And power keeps us in our places
And it doesn't matter if you're left or right
You lay it on the line
Layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Just layin' it all, right on the line
Layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Layin' it all, right on the line
Take it to the wilderness
Into the jungle sun
Lookin' for the voice of reason
Inside this Babylon
(Guitar solo)
Got U.S. boys on foreign soil
Spillin' their blood to keep the peace
Cities will vanish in turmoil
While the sheiks lay sleepin' on the beach
We lay it on the line
Layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Layin' it all, right on the line
Just layin' it on the line, layin' it on the line
Layin' it all, right on the line
Layin' it on the line
Just layin' it all
Layin' it on the line
Just layin' it all
WE BUILT THIS CITY
Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Someone always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible write us off the page
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold, oh, then we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in two rock guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools
Don't you remember ('member)('member)
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
(We built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)
(repeats out)
SARA
Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line
Move on, it's no good to go back in time
I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Chorus:
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
Danger in the game when the stakes are high
Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by
I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
('Cos Sara) Loved me like no one has ever loved me before
(And Sara) Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more
(And Sara) Sara, nobody loved me anymore
(Guitar solo)
I'll never find another girl like you
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
Sara, Sara, -- storms -- are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, no
Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart
Sara, Sara...
TOMORROW DOESN'T MATTER TONIGHT
You already made up your mind
Just who you're looking for and what kind of love you'll find
Holding out for a dream
But I can see you're lonely, living isn't only a fantasy
I don't fit into your plans, but you can reach for my hands
Chorus:
Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, I'm holding you and it feels so right
I know you didn't plan it this way, let yourself go if you want to stay
It's all right, 'cos tomorrow doesn't matter tonight
Really hate to see you confused
I want no promises, so what have you got to lose
When you look in my eyes
Don't think about tomorrow, this feeling isn't meant to be analyzed
Why should you be all alone 'til your heart finds a home
Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, I'm holding you and it feels so right
I know you didn't plan it this way, let yourself go if you want to stay
It's all right, 'cos tomorrow doesn't matter tonight
(Guitar solo)
(Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, tomorrow) Let yourself go!
(Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, tomorrow)
Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, I'm holding you and it feels so right
I know you didn't plan it this way, let yourself go if you want to stay
It's all right
Tomorrow doesn't matter at all, I'm holding you and it feels so right
I know you didn't plan it this way, let yourself go if you want to stay
It's all right, tomorrow doesn't matter tonight
Tonight!
NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US NOW
Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I've found
Is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you
Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby
Don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now
I'm so glad I found you
I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do
Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know
Put your arms around me baby
Don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Ooh, all that I need is you
You're all that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, ever and ever, hey
(Guitar solo)
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us, whoa
Nothing's gonna stop us now, oh no
Hey baby, I know, hey baby, nothing's gonna stop us
Hey baby, woo, nothing, hey baby
Nothing's gonna stop us now yeah
IT'S NOT OVER ('TIL IT'S OVER)
Listen
We don't call the shots here
We don't make the rules
We take what we get, get what we can
And it's learning the hard way
Here on the streets
You can't build a dream, without a plan
(Passion speaks) Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps) They play to win, we play for keeps
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we get it right
The odds are against us
They say we don't stand a chance
But there's no giving up, no giving in
When push comes to shove
You got to fight for what you love
You do what you must, do what you can
(Passion speaks) Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps) They play to win, we play for keeps
It's not over 'til it's over (It's not over)
It's not over 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over (Don't go giving in)
It's not over 'til we get it right
The odds are against us
But you know we still stand a chance
But there's no giving up, no giving in
It's not over
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we, 'til we, 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we, 'til we, 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over
Don't go giving in now
IT'S NOT ENOUGH
If you want my love tell me 'bout tomorrow
Cause I can't wait one more day
Cold in the night waiting for a promise
So all alone I'm hanging on
Woman don't play this game
You'll never get my lovin this way
All this time you've been livin' for the moment
It works for some, but not for me no
Chorus:
It's not enough, to tell me you love me
It's not enough, to tell me that you care (Yeah)
It's not enough, to tell me you want me
Darlin' you know deep inside
If you want my love, then girl you must show me
(Not enough) Oh show me girl
We can make it last if we hold on till tomorrow
Or will we throw it away
Empty words you say you want to please me
But half a heart won't make it right
It's not enough to tell me you love me
It's not enough to tell me that you cried (Yeah)
It's not enough to tell me you're sorry
Darlin' you know deep inside
If you want my love, then girl you must show me
(Not enough)
(Guitar solo)
Empty words you say you want to please me
But half a heart won't make it right no
It's not enough to tell me you love me
It's not enough to tell me that you care (Yeah)
It's not enough to tell me you want me
Darlin' you know
Not enough to tell me you need me
It's not enough to tell me that you cried (Yeah)
It's not enough to tell me you're sorry
Darlin' you know deep inside
It's just not enough (Not enough)
Oh, if you really wanna know girl (Not enough)
What it takes if you want my love...
