She's taking her time making up the reasons to justify all the hurt inside
Any time I need to see your face, I just close my eyes
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
And we stare each other down like victims in the grind
Well I'd like to take you as I find you, imagine our clothes are on the floor
The moonlight...shines down interstellar beams and the groove tonight
If there's a way that you could be
I never thought I'd change my opinion again, But you moved me in a way that I've never known
We stumble in a tangled web, decaying friendships almost dead and hide behind a mask of lies
Well don't you know I need a little indulgence? Listen to the hunter becoming the hunted
In Santa Monica, in the wintertime, the lazy streets so undemanding, I walk into the crowd
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying, "Mamma never loved her much" and, "Daddy never keeps in touch
that's why she shies away from human affection" but somewhere in a private place
She packs her bag for outer space and now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him...
I would fly to the moon & back if you'll be...If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong so would you be my baby?
She can't remember a time when she felt needed if love was red then she was color blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason and crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place and reaching out for human faith is like a journey
I just don't have a map for" so baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive, send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars, what a pleasant dream...
I would fly to the moon & back if you'll be...If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong so would you be my baby?
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind and magenta feelings
take up shelter in the base of my spine sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try and explain; I just hold on tight
And if it happens again I might move so slightly to the arms and the lips and the face
of the human cannonball that I need to, I want to
Come stand a little bit closer, breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you when I get to you
Ooh, I want you I don't know if I need you but ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you I don't know if I need you but ooh, I'd die to find out
I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep committment; getting comfy getting perfect
Is what I live for; but a look, then a smell of perfume
its like I'm down on the floor and I don't know what I'm in for
Conversation has a time and a place in the interaction of a lover and mate,
but the time of talking, using symbols, using words can be likened
to a deep sea diver who is swimming with a raincoat
Come stand a little bit closer, breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you when I get to you
Ooh, I want you I don't know if I need you but ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you I don't know if I need you but ooh, I'd die to find out
Any time I need to see your face, I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind and magenta feelings
take up shelter in the base of my spine sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try and explain; I just hold on tight
And if it happens again I might move so slightly to the arms and the lips and the face
of the human cannonball that I need to, I want to
Ooh, I want you I don't know if I need you but ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you I don't know if I need you but ooh, I'd die to find out
So can we find out?
I'll be your hope I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning, a reason for living, a deeper meaning
I want to stand with you on a mountain, I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever until the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky, I'll make a wish
Send it to heaven then make you want to cry the tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of the highest powers
In lonely hours, the tears devour you
I want to stand with you on a mountain, I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever until the sky falls down on me
Oh can you see it baby? You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right here before you, all that you need will surely come
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply do
I want to stand with you on a mountain, I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever until the sky falls down on me
Probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind and we cry
These tears of pearls, we do it, oh we do it
Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...these tears of pearls
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
Your kisses are like pearls, so different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away and love has left you bare
Made you cry...these tears of pearls
Well I could be the tired joker, pour my heart to get you in, sacrifice my happiness
just so I could win, maybe cry...these tears of pearls
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
We twist and turn where angels burn, like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten, twice removed, Love will be the death...the death of you
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
Feel my caress so soft and gentle, so delicate you cry for more
But you know baby, you know baby does it right, And you know baby does it right
Universe inside of your heart, you gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that its over you don't know what you want
Put time in a capsule, two minds consensual, entwined to perfection, if we could...
Cuddle up close lay on my chest now, listen my heart beat's coming down
If you get tired you close your eyes now, when you wake up I won't be found
'Cause I know baby, I know you're the nervous kind, with so much going on in your mind
Universe inside of your heart, you gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that its over you don't know what you want
But let me tell you that, this time (this time)
I'm gonna make you mine (I won't let you go)
'Cause I know this time (this time), I'm gonna make sure I look out for me
'Cause you know baby, well you know baby does it right, and you know baby does it right
You will only end up lost in lonliness and wake up with the words already on your lips
So I'll let you go, baby...So I'll let you go...
Universe inside of your heart, you gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that its over you don't know what you want
Is something more than you've ever seen, the stars and planets taking shape,
a stolen kiss has come too late in the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing, carry on, carry on dancing; in the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing, carry on, carry on dancing;
You're never safe 'till you see the dawn and if the clock strikes past midnight
The hope is gone to move under...the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing, carry on, carry on dancing; in the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing, carry on, carry on dancing;
Move...Closer...Passion...Stronger
There's a magic only two can tell in the dark night
Ultra violet is a wicked spell, the stars and planets taking shape,
a stolen kiss has come too late in the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing, carry on, carry on dancing;
Carry on, keep romancing, carry on, carry on dancing;
Moving on...Moving all night
everything you want to be, would you complain that it came too easy?
Just like the games with you and me, A resolution hard to see,
But that's O.K. 'cause I don't see things that are plain to see
I've got a dream to take you over, exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world, and that's no lie
You want to give ecstasy delivered with certainty
But you're afraid that the pleasure won't be needed
In a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
for a wave that would carry all our fantasies
If there's a way to infiltrate you, sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world, and that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway, to the disco inside your head (violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to, the color inside your head (violet)
Contemplate jealousy intermixed with urgency
A million things take a damned good shot at you and me
If there's a way to infiltrate you, sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world, and that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway, to the disco inside your head (violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to, the color inside your head (violet)
I'm gonna take you, I'll do my best to break you
I'm gonna take you higher, and that's no lie
Common sense is a game many people don't like to play
But give it in and the moment takes you either way
I've got a dream to take you over, exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world, and that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway, to the disco inside your head (violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to, the color inside your head (violet)
If there's a way that you could be
everything you want to be, would you complain that it came too easy?
In a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
for a wave that would carry all our fantasies
You moved me in a way that I've never known
But straight away you just moved into position again, You abused me in a way that I've never known
You abused me in a way that I've never known
So break me shake me hate me take me over, when the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over, when the madness stops then you will be alone
So you're the kind who deals with the games in the mind, well you confuse me in a way that I've never known
You confuse me in a way that I've never known
So break me shake me hate me take me over, when the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over, when the madness stops then you will be alone
She says, "I can help you, but what do you say?" But its not free baby, you'll have to pay
You just keep me contemplating, that your soul is slowly fading
God don't you know I live with a ton of regret? 'Cause I used to move you in a way that you've never known
But then I accused you in a way that you've never known, but you hurt me in a way that I've never known...
Break me shake me hate me take me over, when the madness stops then you will be alone
So won't you break me shake me hate me take me over, when the madness stops then you will be alone
Listen baby, you'll be, you'll be alone
Break me shake me hate me take me make me fake me break me shake me hate me take me, Break me
We twist and turn and we avoid all hope of salvage now devoid, I see the truth inside your eyes
So take all this noise into your brain, send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then...I'll say the words out loud
You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore
Time manipulates your heart, preconceptions torn apart, Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said, I won't retract convictions read, I may perplex, but I'm not blind
So take all this noise into your brain, send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then...I'll say the words out loud
you could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore
I'll say the words out loud. I'll say a thousand words or more
Manipulation. Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation. I'll say a thousand words or more
Damnation. Frustration. Elevation. Procreation. I'll say a thousand words or more
You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore
Every day there's a million advances, don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
Well don't you know that time is a broken glass that splinters against the wall?
But the picture is coming back now baby, and I want to take it all
Don't go making all these promises you know you can not keep
There's a time to play a king and time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know that time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
So let your body move a little bit closer, silent like the sound preceding a cyclone
Don't you know that powerful thinking can be a force you don't want to relinquish?
Well don't you know that they say that hanging on will justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
Well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down, I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade
So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell
'Cause when it comes down to the making, you better make damn sure you can take it, hey baby
Well don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be a thief and your fallen king will end up alone
Time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up...
A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool; Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby
In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from the coolest places on the promenade, where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn, its there, I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
But on the telephone line I am anyone, I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer and you wouldn't know the difference, or would you?
In Santa Monica, all the people got modern names like Jake and Mandy, and modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard, you'll have to dodge those in-line skaters, or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely, never felt so out of place, I never wanted something more than this
But on the telephone line I am anyone, I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer and you wouldn't know the difference
On the telephone line I am any height, I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader and you wouldn't know the difference, or would you?
