Someone In The Dark

taken from "ET" sountrack

All alone

Wishing on stars

Waiting for you

To find me

One sweet night

I knew I would see

The Stranger who'd be

My friend

When someone in the dark reaches out to you

And touches all the stars that come shining trough

It tells you never be afraid

When somewhere in your heart

You can find that love

The light, which keeps you warm when the night's winds blow

Like it was written in the stars

I knew my friend

My someone in the dark was you

Promise me

We'll always be poking the world together

Hand in hand

Where dreams never end

My star's secret friend

When someone in the dark reaches out to you

And touches all the stars that come shining trough

It tells you never be afraid

When somewhere in your heart

You can find that love

The light, which keeps you warm when the night's winds blow

Look for the rainbow in the sky

Oh, I believe you will die but never really say good bye

Wherever you may be I'll look up and see someone in the dark for me

 


 

Centipede

by Michael Jackson (sung by Rebbie and Michael Jackson)

Centipede, centipede

Your love is like a raging fire

Your snake that's on the loose

Will strike when you desire

But when the centipede is hot

You're bound to feel the fire

But when the centipede is hot

You're bound to feel the fire

I feel oh yeah

A longing for your touch

Like you crawled into the backroom window

To give me all your love

Like a centipede that's hot

A fire is in your touch

Just like a centipede

You've got a lot of loving touch

Don't you know

In the quiet of the night

When the snake is in the crawling

And the moon starts to glow

Then disappears

When the time is really right

Is when the centipede is crawling

You'll be crying in the night so many tears

And you're crawling like a centipede

centipede

You came to strike me with your love

Like you crawled into backroom window

To bite me with your love

Like a centipede that's hot

The fire is in your touch

Just like a centipede

You've got a lot of loving touch

Don't you know

In the quiet of the night

When the snake in in the crawling

And the moon starts to glow

Then disapears

When the time is really right

Is when the centipede is crawling

You'll be crying in the night so many tears

And you're crawling like a centipede

Centipede

Your hearth is full of strange desire

You're the hearth of summer night

A centipede on fire

When the centipede is hot

You're bound to feel fire

Like a beast about to strike

My centipede's on fire

Don't you know

In the quiet of the night

When the snake is in the crawling

and the moon starts to glow

Then disapears

When the time is really right

Is when the centipede is crawling

You'll be crying in the night so many tears

 


Going Back To Albama

sung by Kenny Rogers ft Michael Jackson

Going back to Alabama

Now that I've learnt a thing or two

Life for me ain't been easy

But I've got some living yet to do

 

'Cause a man

Who walks by the side of the road

Can turn himself around

Pick himself up

Dust himself off

And start all over again, my friend

 

Somedays I didn't wanna wake up in the morning

My family and friends were dawn on me

I tryed to tell 'emwhere I was going

But they never saw the man

I saw in me

Some falks call me a dreamer

Other falks laugh and call me a fool

All I ever wanted to be

Was a winner

Cause I know a winner can never loose

 

'Cause a man

Who walks by the side of the road

Can turn himself around

Pick himself up

Dust himself off

And start all over again, my friend

 


 

We Are Here To Change The World

by Michael Jackson

We're on mission

In the everlasting light that shines

A revelation of truth

In chapters in our minds

(So long bad times)

We're gonna shake it up

And brake it up

We're sharing light

Brighter than the sun

(Hello good times)

We're here to stimulate, eliminate

And congregate, illuminate

We are here to change the world

Gonna change the world

We are here to change the world

Gonna change the world

So do surrender

'Cause the power's deep inside my soul

Sing it

Change it

We're gonna change the world, girl

My brothers, my brothers

Deep down in my body

Deep down in my soul

 


 

Blues Away

by Michael Jackson

I'd like to be yours

Tomorrow

So I'm giving you some time

To think over today

But you can't take my blues away

No matter what you say

You can't take my blues away

No matter what you say

What you say, hey, babe

Hey babe

What's your thinking

No darlin'

It won't, won't change my mind

But you can't take my blues away

No matter what you say

What you say, hey, babe

This way I feel

I know that it's true

Because it's for you

You know that it's true

But you try to be

Hard to resist

I ask what it's for

You know you close the door

(no, no, no)

Yeah

(no, no, no)

Tell me what you say babe

Say yeah babe

You can't take my blues away

Tell me what you say

What you say, yeah, babe

I've got the power

Doin' it out

Say anything

'Cause I've got this feeling

Say I

I've got the power

Come on

Yeah

 


 

Lisa it's your birthday

by Michael Jackson, taken from "The SImpsons"

Lisa it's your birthday

God bless you this day

You gave me the gift of a little sister and

I'm proud of you today

Lisa it's your birthday, happy birthday Lisa

Lisa it's your birthday, happy birthday Lisa

I wish you love and a good will

I wish you prise and joy

I wish you better than your hearth desires

And your first kiss from a boy

Lisa it's your birthday, happy birthday Lisa

Lisa it's your birthday, happy birthday Lisa

 


 

Someone Put Your Hand Out

By T.Riely & Michael Jackson

Never try to talk about it

It' s got to sound good to me inside

I just think about it

I'm so undemanding

'Cause they say love is blind

I' ve lived this life pretending

I can bear this hurt deep inside

The truth is that I' m longing

For love that' s so divine

I've searched this whole world wishing

She' ll be there time after time

So someone put your hand out

I' m begging for your love

All I do is hand out a heart that needs your love

I' ve lived my life the lonely

A soul that cries of shame

With handicapped emotions

Save me now from what still remains

I' ll be your story hero

A serenading ryne

I'm just needing that someone

Save me now from the path I'm on

So someone put your hand out

I'm begging for your love

All I do is hand out a heart that needs your love

When you say we will dance 'till the light of day

It's just like the children in earth joy

When we pray will you promise me you' ll always stay

It' s 'cause I'm needing that someone

So someone put your hand out

I' m begging for your love

All I do is hand out a heart that needs your love

 


 

Scream

by Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Terry Lewis and James Harris III

[Michael]

Tired of injustice

Tired of the schemes

Kinda disgusted

So what does it mean

Kicking me down

I got to get up

As jacked as it sounds

The whole system sucks

[Janet]

Peek in the shadow

Come into light

You tell me I'm wrong

Then you better prove you right

You're sellin' out souls but

I care about mine

I've got to get stronger

And I won't give up the fight

[Michael]

With such confiusion don't make you wanna scream

Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme

[Janet]

You try to copy with every lie they scrutinize

[Both]

Just stop pressurin' me

Make me wanna scream

[Michael]

Tired of tellin' story your way

It's causin' confusion

You think it's okay

[Janet]

Keep changin' the rules

While you' re playin' the game

I can't take it much longer

I think I might go insane

[Michael]

With such confusion don't it make you wanna scream

Your bash abusing victimize within the scheme

[Janet]

You find your pleasure scandalizin' every lie

[Both]

Oh father please have mercy 'cause I just can't take it

Stop pressurin' me

Just stop pressurin' me

Make me wanna scream

Stop pressurin' me

Just stop fuckin' with me

Make me wanna scream

[Janet]

Oh my God, can't believe what I saw

As I turned on the TV this evening

I was disgusted by all the injustice

[Michael]

All the injustice

[News man]

A man has been brutelly beaten to death by Police after being wrongly identified as a robbery suspect. The man was an 18 year old black male...

[Michael]

With such conllusion don't it make you wanna scream

Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme

[Janet]

You try to coy with every lie they scrutinize

[Both]

Oh brother please have mercy 'cause I Just can't take it

Stop pressurin' me

Make me wanna scream

Stop pressurin' me

Stop pressurin' me

This Time Around

lyrics by Michael Jackson

This time around I' ll never get bit

Though you really wanna fix me

This time around you\rquote re making me sick

Though you really wanna get me

Somebody's out

Somebody's out to get me

They really wanna fix me, hit me

But this time around I' m taking no shit

Though you really wanna get me

You really wanna get me

He really thought he really had

Had a hold on me

He really thought he really had

They thought they really had control of me

He really thought he really had

Control of me

He really thought he really had

They really thought they really had control of me

This time around I'll never get a bit

Though you really wanna get me

This time around I'm takin no shit

Though you really wanna fix me

Somebody's out

Somebody's out to use me

They really want to use me

And they falsely accuse me

This time around

They'll take it like split

'Cause you really can' t control me

He really thought he really had

Had a hold on me

He really thought he really had

They really thought they really had control of me

He really thought he really had a hold on me

He really thought he really had control of me

He really thought he really had

Had a hold on me

He really thought he really had

They really thought they really had control of me

He really thought he really had

A hold on me

He really thought he really had

They really thought they really had control of me

[Rap: The Notorious BIG]

Listen, I've got problems of my own

Flashin' cameras, taps on my phone

Even in my home I ain't safe as I should be

Things always missin'

Maybe it could be my friends

They ain't friends if they robbin' me

Stoppin' me from makin' a profit, see

Apology shallow like an ocean I guess I'll resort to gun totin'

If I was dead broke and smokin'

I'd probably be my lonesome

I'm a killer nigga I ain't jokin'

Endo smoke got me chocked and I'm hopin'

The fool comes slippin'

So I could blow 'em open

This time around

I changed up my flow

Got rid of the rocks

Got Pitts by the door

I've raised other peoples to watch my back

Stay away from strangers

So I won't slack

And I know my nigga Mike like that

Baby

[Michael]

This time around yeah...

He really thought he really had control of me

He really thought he really had

They really thought they really had control of me

He really thought he really had a hold on me

He really thought he really had

They really thought they really had control of me

He really thought he really had

Had a hold on me He really thought he really had

They really thought they really had control of me

He really thought he really had control of me

He really thought he really had

They really thought they really had control of me

 


 

Tabloid Junkie

by Michael Jackson, James Harris III and Terry Lewis

Speculate to break the one you hate

Circulate the lie you confiscate

Assassinate and mutilate

It's the hounding media in histeria

Who's the next for you to resurrect

JFK exposed to CIA

Truth be told the grassy knoll

The blackmail story in all your glory

It's slander

You say it's not a sword

But with your pen you torture men

You'd crucify the Lord

And you don't have to read it

And you don't have to feet it

Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

Though everybody wants to read all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual, actual

They say he's homosexual

In the hood

Frame him if you could

Shoot to kill

To blame him if you will

If he dies sympathize

Such false witnesses

Damn self righhhteousness

In the black

Stab me in the back

In the face

To lie and shame the race

Heroine and Marlin

The headline stories of

All your glory

It's slander

With the words you use

You're parasite in black and white

Do anything for news

If you don't go and buy it

Then they won't gloryfy it

To read it sanctifies it

Then why we keep foolin' ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

Everybody wants to read all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual, actual

She's blonde and she's bisexual

Scandal

With the words you use

You're parasite in black and white

Do anything for news

And you don't go and buy it

Then they don't glorify it

To read it sanctifies it

Why do we keep foolin\rquote ourselves

Slander

You say it's not a sin

But with your pen you torture men

Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

Though, everybody wants to read all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual

Just because you read it in a magazine

Or see it on the TV screen

Don't make it factual, actual

You're so damn disrespectable

 


 

2 Bad

lyrics by Michael Jackson

Told me that you're doing wrong

Word out schockin' all alone

Cryin' wolf ain't like a man

Throwin' rocks to hide your hand

You ain't done enough for me

You ain't done enough for me

You are disgustin' me, yeah yeah

You're aiming just for me

You are disgustin' me

Just want you cut from me

But too bad, too bad

Look who just walked in the place

Dead and stuffy in the face

Look who's standing if you please

Though you tried to bring me to my knees

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Hell all up in Hollywood

Sayin' that you got it good

Creepin' from a dusty hole

Tales of what somebody told

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

Tired of you haunting me, yeah yeah

You're aiming just for me

You are disgustin' me

You got blood lust for me

But too bad, too bad

Look who got slapped in the face

It's dead and stuffy in the place

Right back where I wanna be

I'm standin' though you're kickin' me

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

[Rap: Shaquille O'Neal]

Life's about a dream

I'm really undefeated when

MJ is on my own team, theme

Reality brings forth realizm

It's the man of steel organizm

Twizm

Not from the prizm, take charge like manilla

Nine five Shaq represent with the Thrilla

Grab my crotch, twist my knee, then I'm through

Mike's bad, I'm bad

Who are you

[Michael]

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

Why don't you just scream and shout it

Too bad, too bad about it

 


 

History

by Michael Jackson, James Harris III and Terry Lewis

He got kicked in the back

e say that he needed that

He got willed in the face

Keep daring to motivate

He say one day you will see

His place in the history

He dares to be recognized

he firess deep in his eyes

 

How many victims must there be

Slaughtered in vain across the land

And how many struggles must there be

Before we choose to live the prophet's plan

 

Every day create your history

Every path you take you're leaving your legacy

Every soldier dies in his glory

Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

 

Don't let no one get you down

Keep movin' on higher ground

Keep flying until

You are the king of the hill

No force of nature can break

Your will to self motivate

She say the face that you see

Is destined for history

 

How many people have to cry

The song of pain and grief across the land

And how many children have to die

Before we stand to lend a healing hand

 

Every day create your history

Every path you take you're leaving your legacy

Every soldier dies in his glory

Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

Every day create your history

Every page you turn you're writing your legacy

Every hero dreams of chivalry

Every child should sing toghether in harmony

 

All nations sings

Let's harmonize all around the world

 

How many victims must there be

Slaughtered in vain across the land

And how many children must we see

Before we learn to live as brothers

And create on family

 

Every day create your history

Every path you take you're leaving your legacy

Every soldier dies in his glory

Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

Every day create your history

Every page you turn you're writing your legacy

Every hero dreams of chivalry

Every child should sing toghether in harmony

 

A soldier dies

A mother cries

The promised child shines in baby's eyes

All nations sings

Lat's harmonize all around the world

Is It Scary

by Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley

There's a ghost down in the hall

There's a ghoul beneath the bed

Now it's coming trough the walls

Now it' s coming up the stairs

There's a spirit in the dark

Hear the beating of his heart

Can you feel it in the air

Ghosts be hiding everywhere

I' m gonna be

Exactly what you wanna see

It's you who's taunting me

Because you're wanting me

To be the stranger in the night

Am I amusing you

But just confusing me

Am I the beast you visualized

And if you wanna see

Eccentric oddities

I'll be grotesque before your eye

Let them all materialize

Is it scary for you baby

Am I scary for you oh boy

Is it scary for you big baby

Is it scary for you

You know the stranger is you

Is it scary for you big baby

There's a creaking in the floor

There's a creak behind the door

There's a rocking in the chair

But nobody's sitting there

There's a ghastly smell around

But nobody to be found

And a coffin inlay open

Where a restless soul is pokin'

I' m gonna be

Exactly what you gonna see

So did you come to me

To see your fantasies

Preformed before

Your very eyes

A haunting ghostly treat

The goulish trickery

And spirits dancing in the night

But if you came to see

The truth the purity

It's here insidea lonely heart

So let the preformance start

Is that scary for you baby

Am I scary for you oh boy

Am I scary for you big baby

Am I scary for you oh boy

So tell me

Is it scary for you baby

Tell me

So tell me

Is that realism for you big baby

Am I scary for you

You know the stranger is you

Am I scary for you

Masquerade the heart

Is the height of hurting souls

Just not what you see of me

Can hardly reveal the proof

Like a mirror reveals the truth

See the evil one is you

Is thet scary for you big baby

Am I scary for you oh boy

Am I scary for you baby

Am I scary for you oh boy

So tell me

Am I scary for you baby

Am I scary for you baby

Is it scary for you baby

Am I scary for you oh boy

Wanna talk about

I wanna talk about

I don't wanna talk about

Wanna talk about

Am I scary for you baby

Is that scary for you baby

I'm tired of being abused

You know you're scaring me too

I see the evil is you

Is it scary for you baby boy
