    ZOO STATION

    I'm ready
    Ready for the laughing gas
    I'm ready
    Ready for what's next
    Ready to duck
    Ready to dive
    Ready to say
    I'm glad to be alive
    I'm ready
    Ready for the push

    In the cool of the night
    In the warmth of the breeze
    I'll be crawling around
    On my hands and knees

    She's just down the line... Zoo Station
    Got to make it on time... Zoo Station

    I'm ready
    Ready for the gridlock
    I'm ready
    To take it to the street
    Ready for the shuffle
    Ready for the deal
    Ready to let go
    Of the steering wheel
    I'm ready
    Ready for the crush

    Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
    It's alright... it's alright... it's alright... it's alright...
    Hey baby... hey baby... hey baby... hey baby...
    It's alright
    It's alright

    Time is a train
    Makes the future the past
    Leaves you standing in the station
    Your face pressed up against the glass

    I'm just down the line for your love... Zoo Station
    Under the sign of your love... Zoo Station
    I'm gonna be there... Zoo Station
    Tracing the line... Zoo Station
    I'm gonna make it on time... make it on time... Zoo Station
    Just two stops down the line... Zoo Station
    Just a stop down the line... Zoo Station



    EVEN BETTER THAN THE REAL THING

    Give me one more chance
    And you'll be satisfied
    Give me two more chances
    You won't be denied

    Well my heart is where it's always been
    My head is somewhere in between
    Give me one more chance
    Let me be your lover tonight

    (Check it out)

    You're the real thing
    Yeah the real thing
    You're the real thing
    Even better than the real thing

    Give me one last chance
    And I'm gonna make you sing
    Give me half a chance
    To ride on the waves that you bring

    You're a honey child to a swarm of bees
    Gonna blow right throw you like a breeze
    Give me one last chance
    We'll slide down the surface of things

    You're the real thing
    Yeah the real thing
    You're the real thing
    Even better than the real thing

    We're fly to fly the crimson sky
    The sun won't melt our wings tonight

    Oh now
    Here she comes

    Take me higher
    Take me higher
    Can you take me higher?
    Will you take me higher?

    You're the real thing
    Yeah the real thing
    You're the real thing

    Even better than the real thing
    Even better than the real thing
    Even better than the real thing



    ONE

    Is it getting better
    Or do you feel the same?
    Will it make it easier on you now
    Now you got someone to blame

    You say
    One love
    One life
    When it's one need
    In the night
    It's one love
    We get to share it
    It leaves you baby
    If you don't care for it

    Did I dissappoint you?
    Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
    You act like you never had love
    And you want me to go without

    Well it's too late
    Tonight
    To drag the past out
    Into the light
    We're one
    But we're not the same
    We get to carry each other
    Carry each other
    One

    Have you come here for forgiveness
    Have you come to raise the dead
    Have you come here to play Jesus
    To the leppers in your head
    Did I ask too much
    More than a lot
    You gave me nothing
    Now it's all I got
    We're one
    But we're not the same
    We hurt each other
    Then we do it again

    You say
    Love is a temple
    Love a higher law
    Love is a temple
    Love the higher law
    You ask me to emter
    But then you make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what you got
    When all you got is hurt

    One love
    One blood
    One life
    You got to do what you should

    One life
    With each other
    Sisters
    Brothers

    One life
    But we're not the same
    We get to carry each other
    Carry each other

    One
    One



    UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD

    Haven't seen you in quite a while
    I was down the hold just passing time
    Last time we met was a low-lit room
    We were as close together as a bride and groom
    We ate the food, we drank the wine
    Everybody having a good time
    Except you
    You were talking about the end of the world

    I took the money
    I spiked your drink
    You miss too much these days if you stop to think
    You led me on with those innocent eyes
    You know I love the element of surprise
    In the garden I was playing the tart
    I kissed your lips and broke your heart
    You, you were acting like it was
    The end of the world

    Love, love, love ...

    In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
    But my sorrows, they learned to swim
    Surrounding me, going down on me
    Spilling over the brim
    Waves of regret and waves of joy
    I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
    You, you said you'd wait
    Until the end of the world



    WHO'S GONNA RIDE YOUR WILD HORSES

    You're dangerous 'cause you're honest
    You're dangerous, you don't know what you want
    Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
    For any spirit to haunt

    Hey hey sha la la
    Hey hey

    You're an accident waiting to happen
    You're a piece of glass left in a beach
    Well you tell me things I know you're not supposed to
    Then you leave me just out of reach

    Hey hey sha la la
    Hey hey sha la la

    Who's gonna ride your wild horses
    Who's gonna drown in your blue sea
    Who's gonna ride your wild horses
    Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee

    Well you stole it 'cause I needed the cash
    And you killed it 'cause I wanted revenge
    Well you lied to me 'cause I asked you to
    Baby, can we still be friends

    Hey hey sha la la
    Hey hey sha la la

    Who's gonna ride your wild horses
    Who's gonna drown in your blue sea
    Who's gonna ride your wild horses
    Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee

    Oh, the deeper I spin
    Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
    Took a drive in the dirty rain
    To a place where the wind calls your name
    Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
    Hallelujah, heaven's white rose
    The doors you open
    I just can't close

    Don't turn around, don't turn around again
    Don't turn around, your gypsy heart
    Don't turn around, don't turn around again
    Don't turn around, and don't look back
    Come on now love, don't you look back

    Who's gonna ride your wild horses
    Who's gonna drown in your blue sea
    Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses
    Who's gonna take the place of me

    Who's gonna ride your wild horses
    Who's gonna tame the heart of thee



    SO CRUEL

    We crossed the line
    Who pushed who over
    It doesn't matter to you
    It matters to me
    We're cut adrift
    We're still floating
    I'm only hanging on
    To watch you go down
    My love

    I disappeared in you
    You disappeared from me
    I gave you everything you ever wanted
    It wasn't what you wanted

    The men who love you, you hate the most
    They pass through you like a ghost
    They look for you but your spirit is in the air
    Baby, you're nowhere

    Oh love you say in love there are no rules
    Oh love sweetheart
    You're so cruel

    Desparation is a tender trap
    It gets you every time
    You put your lips to her lips
    To stop the lie

    Her skin is pale like God's only dove
    Screams like an angel for your love
    Then she makes you watch her from above
    And you need her like a drug

    Oh love you say in love there are no rules
    Oh love sweetheart
    You're so cruel

    She wears my love like a see-through dress
    Her lips say one thing
    Her movements something else
    Oh love like a screaming flower
    Love dying every hour love

    You don't know if it's fear or desire
    Danger the drug that takes you higher
    Head in heaven, fingers in the mire
    Her heart is racing, you can't keep up
    The night is bleeding like a cut
    Between the horses of love and lust
    We are trampled underfoot

    Oh love you say in love there are no rules
    Oh love sweetheart
    You're so cruel

    Oh love to stay with you I'd be a fool
    Sweetheart you're so cruel



    THE FLY

    Oh, baby child

    It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
    It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
    They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
    You know I don't see you when she walks in the room

    It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
    It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
    They say a secret is something you tell one other person
    So I'm telling you, child
    
    
    Low Voice			Gospel Voice
    A man will beg			Love, we sihne like a burning star
    A man will crawl			We're falling from the shy,
    On the sheer face of love		Tonight
    Like a fly on a wall
    It's no secret at all 
    
    
    It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
    It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
    Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
    All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

    Oh love...
    
    
    Low Voice			Gospel Voice
    
    A man will rise			Love, we sihne like a burning star
    A man will fall			We're falling from the shy,
    From the sheer face of love		Tonight		
    Like a fly from a wall
    It's no secret at all 
    
    (Love, we shine like a burning star)
    (We're falling from the sky tonight)

    
    Low Voice			Gospel Voice
    
    A man will rise			Love, we sihne like a burning star
    A man will fall			We're falling from the shy,
    From the sheer face of love		Tonight		
    Like a fly from a wall
    It's no secret at all 
    
    It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
    The universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie
    Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change
    There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange



    MYSTERIOUS WAYS

    Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon
    Let her pale light in to fill up your room
    You've been living underground
    Eating from a can
    You've been running away
    From what you don't understand
    Love

    She's slippy
    You're sliding down
    She'll be there when you hit the ground

    It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
    She moves in mysterious ways
    It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
    She moves in mysterious ways

    Johnny take a dive with your sister in the rain
    Let her talk about the things you can't explain
    To touch is to heal
    To hurt is to steal
    If you want to kiss the sky
    Better learn how to kneel
    On your knees boy!

    She's the wave
    She turns the tide
    She sees the man inside the child

    It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
    She moves in mysterious ways
    It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
    She moves in mysterious ways
    It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
    Lift my days, light up my nights

    One day you will look back
    And you'll see where
    You were held how
    By this love while
    You could stand there
    You could move on this moment
    Follow this feeling

    It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
    She moves in mysterious ways
    It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
    She moves in mysterious ways
    It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
    We move through miracle days
    Spirit moves in mysterious ways
    She moves with it
    She moves with it
    Lift my days, light up my nights



    TRYIN' TO THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND THE WORLD

    Six o'clock in the morning
    You're the last to hear the warning
    You've been trying to throw your arms
    Around the world
    You've been falling off the sidewalk
    Your lips move but you can't talk
    Tryin' to throw your arms around the world

    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Be still
    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Woman I will

    Sunrise like a nosebleed
    Your head hurts and you can't breathe
    You been tryin' to throw you arms around the world
    How far you gonna go
    Before you lose your way back home
    You've been trying to throw your arms
    Around the world

    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Woman be still
    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Woman I will

    Yeah, I dreamed that I saw Dali
    With a supermarket trolley
    He was trying to throw his arms around a girl
    He took an open top beetle
    Through the eye of a needle
    He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world

    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Woman be still
    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Oh, Woman I will

    Nothin' much to say I guess
    Just the same as all the rest
    Been trying to throw your arms around the world
    And a woman needs a man
    Like a fish needs a bicycle
    When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world

    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
    Woman be still
    Woman be still
    Be still
    Woman be still
    Woman I will



    ULTRAVIOLET (LIGHT MY WAY)

    Sometimes I feel like I don't know
    Sometimes I feel like checkin' out
    I want to get it wrong
    Can't always be strong
    And love it won't be long

    Oh sugar, don't you cry
    Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes
    You know I need you to be strong
    And the day is as dark as the night is long
    Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
    I'm in the black, can't see or be seen

    Baby, baby, baby light my way
    Baby, baby, baby light my way

    You bury your treasure
    Where it can't be found
    But your love is like a secret
    That's been passed around
    There is a silence that comes to a house
    Where no one can sleep
    I guess it's the price of love
    I know it's not cheap

    Baby, baby, baby light my way
    (oh, come on)
    Baby, baby, baby light my way

    I remember
    When we could sleep on stones
    Now we lie together
    In whispers and moans
    When I was all messed up
    And I had opera in my head
    Your love was a light bulb
    Hanging over my bed

    Baby, baby, baby light my way
    (oh, come on)
    Baby, baby, baby light my way

    Baby, baby, baby
    Baby, baby, baby
    Baby, baby, baby light my way
    Baby, baby, baby light my way



    ACROBAT

    Don't believe what you hear
    Don't believe what you see
    If you just close your eyes
    You can feel the enemy
    When I first met you girl
    You had fire in your soul
    What happened your face
    Of melting in snow
    Now it looks like this

    And you can swallow
    Or you can spit
    You can throw it up
    Or choke on it
    And you can dream
    So dream out loud
    You know that your time is coming 'round
    So don't let the bastards grind you down

    No, nothing makes sense
    Nothing seems to fit
    I know you'd hit out
    If you only knew who to hit
    And I'd join the movement
    If there was one I could believe in
    Yeah I'd break bread and wine
    If there was a church I could receive in
    'cause I need it now

    To take a cup
    To fill it up
    To drink it slow
    I can't let you go
    I must be an acrobat
    To talk like this
    And act like that
    And you can dream
    So dream out loud
    And don't let the bastards grind you down

    What are we going to do now it's all been said
    No new ideas in the house and every book has been read

    And I must be an acrobat
    To talk like this
    And act like that
    And you can dream
    So dream out loud
    And you can find
    Your own way out
    You can build
    And I can will
    And you can call
    I can't wait until
    You can stash
    And you can seize
    In dreams begin
    Responsibilities
    And I can love
    And I can love
    And I know that the tide is turning 'round
    So don't let the bastards grind you down



    LOVE IS BLINDNESS

    Love is blindness
    I don't want to see
    Won't you wrap the night around me
    Oh my heart, Love is blindness

    In a parked car, in a crowded street
    You see your love made complete
    Thread is ripping, the knot is slipping
    Love is blindness

    Love is clockworks and cold steel
    Fingers too numb to feel
    Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle
    Love is blindness

    Love is blindness
    I don't want to see
    Won't you wrap the night around me
    Oh my love, Blindness

    A little death without mourning
    No call and no warning
    Baby, a dangerous idea
    That almost makes sense

    Love is drowning in a deep well
    All the secrets and no one to tell
    Take the money, honey
    Blindness

    Love is blindness
    I don't want to see
    Won't you wrap the night around me
    Oh my love, Blindness
