Title: Labyrinth Album Parodies
Rating: PG
Parts: 4 - one for let's dance, one for ziggy stardust, one for scary
monsters, one for lodger
Fandom: labyrinth
Disclaimer: I own no aspects of labyrinth, and the music and original
songs of these works are the genius of people far more brilliant than I,
namely David Bowie. I just screw with em.
Summary: warping various DB albums to include labyrinth themes, or what
ziggy does with her copious spare time, heh
Laby Fic (Modern Love)
Music by Bowie Lyrics by Specht (a combination that should be
destined to go down in history <g>)
When I want I write out
When I want I read in
Have some fun
I check in my email
And suddenly things change
I'm standing in a maze
Don't hafta wave bye-bye
I won't try
won't try
Weird new forms of life
King with the power to charm
I'm dancing at a ball
Don't hafta wave bye-bye
I won't try
won't try
Never gonna fall for
laby fic - waits there for me
laby fic - call to me
laby fic - gives me a new world to see
world to see - dwarfs and goblins
world to see - faeries, too
world to see - always a spot for you
spot for you - if you're a writer
spot for you - or a lurker
spot for you - there within laby fic
It's got so much worth
King with his power to charm
still dancing at the ball
Don't hafta wave bye-bye
I won't try
won't try
Never gonna fall for
laby fic - waits there for me
laby fic - calls to me
laby fic - gives me a new world to see
world to see - dwarfs and goblins
world to see - faeries, too
world to see - always a spot for you
spot for you - if you're a writer
spot for you - or a lurker
spot for you - there within laby fic
I know a huge theme in stories is the Jareth/Sarah
relationship...personally, I really don't care to write huge epics
about it, but I do like reading it...anywho, this one's about all the
sequels and sort of what happened at the ending of the movie (in the
Escher room/final confrontation)
Sarah Girl (China Girl)
Music by Bowie and Iggy Pop Lyrics by Specht (This combo is pretty
good, too)
He can't escape the feeling from his Sarah girl
Left a wreck by that little Sarah girl
But now her heart's beating loud as thunder
Saw that owl flying
She's a mess without him - little Sarah girl
Looks into a crystal there's his little Sarah girl
He hears her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw that owl flying down
Is there love real or tragic - how can we know?
When he looked at that Sarah girl
We can pretend that he really meant so much
When he looked at that Sarah girl
She stumbled into town
Whispered the ending words
Visions of victory in her head
Plans to grow up
It's in the blue of her soul
You little Sarah girl
Why did you mess with him?
He made you everything you are
You know, he gave you perserverance
He showed you life's not fair
He took you when you couldn't stand your world
But when they meet again
That little Sarah girl says
Oh, Jareth, I should've watched my mouth
And he says...Sh-sh-shhhh....
Okay, another name for this could be Why I Write Labyfic...I think of
it as a chance for me (or anyone) to do what they want, have their way
with the characters <eg>, and basically express their
interpretations...it also partially get's into J's whole Everything
I've done, I've done for you speech and the theory that he's the real
ringleader of the list...
Your Chance (Let's Dance)
Music by Bowie Lyrics by Specht (did I mention how much I love seeing
my name next to his? <g>)
your chance - to put on a ballgown and paint the town
your chance - hear that song he's singing in the Escher room
your way - look a goblin in the face
your way - dance with the fireys with their wacky grace
If you wish, he'll take the child for you
And if you want, he'll be cruel
Yes it's really true, he does it all for you
It's your story
And your tale
You possess the power
your chance - and if belief should die
your chance - the Underground would sigh
your way - just look into his eyes
your way - deep in that moonlight, that crystal moonlight
If you wish, he'll take the child for you
And if you want, he'll be cruel
Yes it's really true, he does it all for you
It's your story
And your tale
You possess the power
your chance - to put on a ballgown and paint the town
your chance - hear that song he's singing
your way
your way - deep in that moonlight, that crystal moonlight
All right, now is probably the only time I'll ever admit to it
publicly, but I am a hopeless romantic at heart...scary, huh? Anyway,
it's pretty obvious that at the heart of the list is the deep
admiration, respect, infatuation, undying love for Jareth...I always
sort of laugh at remembering the first time I saw the movie when I was
10...I thought Sarah was the best thing in the movie...strong,
courageous, etc...then when I finally saw it again at 17 I thought she
was a whiny, obnoxious brat and the real hero was Jareth...maybe it was
just because hormones now played a part in my viewing experience <g>
Without You, Jareth (Without You)
Yet again, Music by Bowie Lyrics by Specht
Just when I'm ready to question it all
Just when I think all the magic's gone
You show up with some surprise
Friendship and desire
You're exactly who I need here with me
Without you
What would I do?
And when I'm willing to forget it all
Just when I might leave it all behind
You sing your song
Friendship and desire
Jareth, I need you
Without you
What would I do?
Yet another delve into the freedom of writing...a little monotonous
maybe, but I think it works pretty well...this one also is about the
crossovers, round robins, and visitations that frequent the
list...(It's all good, don't scroll past this one, now!)
Have your Way (Ricochet)
Still, Music by Bowie Lyrics by Specht
Like glitter on canvas waiting for the glue - Have your way, have your way
So many characters and so much to do - Have your way, have your way
Write them into times and places not their own
We can't let them be forgotten
We can't let them be forgotten
Tales of visits tales of fun
Possibilities have just begun
Some get a spark and begin to write
Melding with movies, television shows,
rock stars, and things like that
Tales of visits, tales of fun
Possibilities have just begun
Add a chapter, challenge, too
So many ideas waiting for you
Have your way - twist the Underground world
Add a chapter, challenge, too
So many ideas waiting for you - Have your way, have your way
Possibilities have just begun
Writing laby fic in a strange new way - Have your way, have your way
Write them into times and places not their own
For we can't let them be forgotten
For we can't let them be forgotten
Tales of visits, tales of fun
Possibilities have just begun
Early, someone types, a king goes off to pay a visit
In his secret castle room he reads new parts
And smiles at the contributions
Tales of visits, tales of fun
Possibilities have just begun
Add a chapter, challenge, too
So many ideas waiting for you
Have your way - twist the Underground world
And when he is done, eyes weary from reading
He grins and goes off to another listian
Granting crystal wishes
For we can't let him be forgotten
All righty, this one is for all you Evil Jareth writers out
there...personally I can never see him as evil, but I'm also the same
girl who thinks that Vader is basically a good person and a warm
sentimental underneath the armor...
Evil King's World (Criminal World)
Music by Peter Goodwin, Duncan Browne, Sean Lyones (I know I've heard
of them from somewhere, but for the life of me I can't remember what
else they've done!) Lyrics by Specht
He never told you of his many faces
He's as viscious as a wild cat
There's a price to pay for his kisses
But he forgets to mention that
You'll never recognize his destination
Or see the dark behind the makeup
What he wants is not consideration
He is no ordinary
He is no ordinary
Ah! Ah! Ah!
In the evil king's world
He'll have his way with the girl
In his Underground world
He always has his fun
He's no typical Fae's son
The only thing that he enjoys
Is his evil king's world
Where he can manipulate his toys
He's got a very heavy reputation
Don't wanna know about his low life
Don't you try to find a situation
That'll show through his calm disguise
He'll catch you spying at his castle door
And you'll that the jig's up
You're just what he's been waiting for
He is no ordinary
He is no ordinary
Ah! Ah! Ah!
In the evil king's world
He'll have his way with the girl
In his Underground world
He always has his fun
He's no typical Fae's son
The only thing that he enjoys
Is his evil king's world
Where he can manipulate his toys
And this one is especially dedicated to every single member on the
list...I think it's really important for us to keep this thing going no
matter what...
Listians (Igniting the Fire) (Cat People (Putting Out Fire))
Music by Giorgio Horoder (I love that name!) Lyrics by Specht
See those mismatched eyes
They can stare for eternity
Crystal like the moon
Well it's been so long
Won't you ignite the fire with your PC?
See all those goblins
They've gotten lost in the night
No longer held dear
Push the times and change some minds
It's been so long
Still this quiet night
Inspiration takes me
Fingers start to type
Ya wouldn't believe what you can do
You've been so long
Well it's been so long
Come on, ignite the fire with your PC?
Ignite the fire with your PC?
See sparks catch and blaze
Magic that can never end
This spell can never die
Stuff like this is not a trend
See those mismatched eyes
They can stare for eternity
Fingers start to type
You wouldn't believe what you can do
You've been so long
Well, it's been so long
Won't you ignite the fire with your PC?
Ignite the fire with your PC?
And this is in regards to all those annoying tendencies to end a
chapter RIGHT WHEN THE ACTION'S GETTING GOOD! <g>
Write it (Shake It)
Finally, yes Music by Bowie Lyrics by Specht (Funny, I'm still not
tired of this!)
I feel like a crystal
Floating in the night
New stories to read
Now everything's all right
They take me to mazes
And lands of the Fae
Where strange creatures roam
And are ruled over by J
He's sitting in the throne room talking to a witless thing
Wonders what to do but then he starts to sing
I catch my breath - what comes next?
Scroll through the chapters - what comes next?
So what comes next!? - write it baby!!!!!
Cause the next part holds the answer
Suspense is calling to me
I'd sent tons of comments to you
Cause I don't have money
We're the kind of people who can write it when we're feeling blue
When I'm feeling really bored then I sure know what to do
Write it baby

THE RISE AND FALL OF SARAH AND JARETH AND THE GOBLINS FROM THE
UNDERGROUND
Thirteen Hours (Five Years)
Strolling through the park o'er there, one young girl reciting
Walks home in the rain to where the baby's crying
Stepmom shakes her head and yells. Girl just
keeps on trying
Runs to her room to get away, but cannot keep
from sighing
She hears father's voice, has no choice, music box melody
She sees toy's, joys, pictures of broken family
Her head throbs like a drumbeat, misses her fav'rite teddy bear
She glares at the baby, whishes him away from there
And all the happy-sad stories, and all the good-bad stories
All the magical stories, and the familiar stories
Never knew the truth to that story
Lights go out and crying stops; loud thunder striking
Girl goes into the room, suddenly quite frightened
Large owl of snow-white puts his beak to the windowpane
Flies in and transforms to a man; girl wonders if she's insane
He's seen her in that park acting the book for so long.
Tries then to offer her her dreams, but she knows it would be too wrong
The sky was red, his stare is cold, so she feels like an actor
She thinks of the kid and wants to get back there
His face, this place, the way that he talks
She looks to the maze and she starts to walk
She's got thirteen hours, stuck on her eyes
Thirteen hours, what a surprise
She's got thirteen hours, wants to win a lot
Thirteen hours, that's all she's got
Dream Love (Soul Love)
Old love - she looks to the photo
Her mother - who went off to find her dreams
Leaving the girl to watch with saddened eyes Nothing penetrates her
grieving
New love - she starts to read the stories
New words - that only she can live in
New words - a love so strong she leaves her life
Behind - for the fantasy she basks in
Spell is careless in its choosing - sweeping down to take the baby
Descending down on the girl defenseless
She sees the man, he sparks the fusion
Inspiration she has now - just to touch the dream she knows
All she has is her love of dreams - but those dreams aren't real
Dream love - the girl who the magic and
Dreams of love - and how her life will change will
That love - though she's blind to the love that's real
Cannot see it straight ahead
Spell is careless in its choosing - sweeping down to take the baby
Descending down on the girl defenseless
She sees the man, he sparks the fusion
Inspiration she has now - just to touch the dream she knows
All she has is her love of dreams - but those dreams aren't real
Crystal Daydream (Moonage Daydream)
I'm a baby taker, I'm a goblin king comin' for you
I'm a fae invader, I'll make all of your dreams come true
Don't ya tell me, don't tell me that it's not fair
I'm the only one that really cares
Keep your dreamer's eye on me, babe
Sing your music to my head
Press your magic face to mine, love
Freak out in a crystal daydream oh! Yea!
Don't fight it baby, don't ya be afraid of me
The land of magic is such a special place to be
Come on baby, dance with me until dawn
Dance until the magic's gone
Keep your dreamer's eye on me, babe
Sing your music to my head
Press your magic face to mine, love
Freak out in a crystal daydream oh! Yea!
Goblin King (Starman)
At bout seven the lights went low
Something happened that she didn't know
The babe had to pay the toll - where'd he go? She said
Then the thunder began to fade
Owl came and broke through her frightened daze
Then he showed up and she felt her spirits dive
There's a goblin king waiting in the sky
He came to tell Sarah
She should forget the child
There's a goblin king waiting in the sky
He told her to take it
Gonna make it worth her while
He told her:
Go ahead and use it
Go ahead, don't lose it
Dream your dreams and boogie
She knew then what she had to do
Hey, that's far out, he's mad now, too
Look out the window it's the maze of her dreams come true
She starts down to the lab'rinth's gates
There's not much time, can't afford to wait
Oh, watch that king! He's tryin' to make her late
There's a goblin king waiting in the sky
He came to tell Sarah
She should forget the child
There's a goblin king waiting in the sky
He told her to take it
Gonna make it worth her while
He told her:
Go ahead and use it
Go ahead, don't lose it
Dream your dreams and boogie
There's a goblin king waiting in the sky
He came to tell Sarah
She should forget the child
There's a goblin king waiting in the sky
He told her to take it
Gonna make it worth her while
He told her:
Go ahead and use it
Go ahead, don't lose it
Dream your dreams and boogie
It Ain't Easy (In 13 Hours Time) (It Ain't Easy)
When you get to the gates of the maze as big as the sea
It's kinda hard to get into where ya want to be
Then the dwarf comes up to help ya;
With a wave of his hand
Suddenly in front of you is a magic mys'try land
It ain't easy, it ain't easy, it ain't easy to solve in thirteen hours
time
Well, that young girl's got her problems; that ain't nothing new
But with the help of a few friends she can make it on through
She can make it on through and reach the end
'Cept for when Hoggle tries to take her to the start again
It ain't easy, it ain't easy, it ain't easy to solve in thirteen hours
time
Satisfaction, satisfaction, keep her satisfied
Show her the dreams that are lurking deep inside
Lurking deep inside, if she only knew
What the magic in that peach can really do
It ain't easy, it ain't easy, it ain't easy to solve in thirteen hours
time
It ain't easy, it ain't easy, it ain't easy to solve in thirteen hours
time
Bog of Stench (Lady Stardust)
The girl stared at the ugly place
Covered up her nose, forgot all her grace
The girl in the poet's blouse
looked into the muck
And almost fainted just because
It really stunk
And it was not right, the friends were all together
But it was not right, the stench went on forever
Yes, it was, far from nice! Horridly out of sight (second time, far
from paradise)
The Bog smelled all night long.
The group rushed ahead on the path to get some air
But the fox stopped them cold
He had a job to do
They ran quicky for they just could not obey
And they left the Bog real fast
No way would they stay
And it was not right, the friends were all together
But it was not right, the stench went on forever
Yes, it was, far from nice! Horridly out of sight (second time, far
from paradise)
The Bog smelled all night long.
Oh, how she sighed, when she could breathe again…
And it was not right, the friends were all together
But it was not right, the stench went on forever
Yes, it was, far from nice! Horridly out of sight (second time, far
from paradise)
The Bog smelled all night long.
Fire (Star)
Goblins are as dumb as chickens Faeries bite way too hard
I can make it all worthwhile as a creature of fire
Kings have to kidnap babies
Girls have to solve the maze, well at least they can try
I can make transformations as a creature of fire
So inviting-so enticing to pull my limbs apart
I can make wild mutations as a creature of fire (Chilly down, Yea!)
I don't need any money
I like things the way that they are
Everything in life is so funny
When you're a creature of fire.
I can make transformations as a creature of fire
So inviting-so enticing to pull my limbs apart
I can make wild mutations as a creature of fire (Chilly down, Yea!)
I don't need any money
I like things the way that they are
Everything in life is so funny
When you're a creature of fire.
I go to bed at night as a creature of fire
I dislocate my head all right as a creature of fire
Hold on to Herself (or Jareth's Ego Trip) (Hang on to Yourself)
She's a teen-age dream, she will come to the ball tonight With her
memory gone
She'll dance, won't stand a chance now matter how she tries As soon as
she hears my song
So come on, come on, let's keep the dream going
Come on, come on, she's never gonna make it
Still she'd better hold on to herself
I dance around and sing, change my clothes all day
Kick my minions off of my heel
But when I get a hold of this here girl
She really won't know what to feel!
So come on, come on, let's keep the dream going
Come on, come on, she's never gonna make it
Still she'd better hold on to herself
Jareth (Ziggy Stardust)
Jareth twirled his balls, casting them to the wind
To the girl below. He's done his best
But she made it too far
With just a helping hand, got through this strange land
Jareth really sang, made her forget her life back home
She broke the charm and ran away
Not looking back
Left him standing there. Does he really care?
Then why did he scare her with the cleaner down below?
Just the dwarf to guide her
So they crabbed about the man and now then, what was the plan?
Jareth played for time, trying to help her see clearly
Generous to the end, mixed with a touch
Of cruelty
He was the villain, though, so she had to go.
Even through his ego, Jareth got into her mind
He tried to convince her
But she left his land; just couldn't understand
Jareth twirled his balls…
Goblin King's City (Suffragette City)
Hey King! - Leave me alone y'know
Hey King! - I wanna go home, I gotta-
Hey King! - Gotta solve this here maze
This tight-clad guy just twirled a ball in my face!
Hey King! - Thirteen Hours -Insane!
Hey King! - Peach haze on my brain!
Hey King! - Well, well, now who's this here man?
He said we had to dance here but he- then he-
Don't give me tea, Worm, cause I don't got time to drink it! I'm off to
Goblin King's City!
Gotta concentrate now, can't take anything for granted! You know my
goblin king's city! Is all right. He's outta sight.
Hey king! - Oh, fireys get off my spine, go away!
Hey king! - I don't got much time - no way!
Hey king! - A goblin battle here
Can only confront one and here he comes here he comes!
Don't give me tea, Worm, cause I don't got time to drink it! I'm off to
Goblin King's City!
Gotta concentrate now, can't take anything for granted! You know my
goblin king's city! Is all right. He's outta sight.
Aw, hey king!

Gotta concentrate now, can't take anything for granted! You know my
goblin king's city!
Don't give me tea, Worm, cause I don't got time to drink it! I'm off
to Goblin King's City!
Gotta concentrate now, can't take anything for granted! You know my
goblin king's city! Is all right. He's outta sight.
My Goblin King's city! My Goblin King's city! Off to my Goblin King's
city!
Off to my Goblin King's city! Hoo! My Goblin King's city!
Oh! My Goblin King's city! Hoo Ha! My goblin king's city
Hoo Ha! My goblin king's city!
Wham, Bam, Here I am! My Goblin King's City

My Goblin King's City! So fine!
My Goblin King's City!
Goblin King's City!
My Goblin King's City!
Oh, my goblin king's city! Hoo! My goblin king's city! My goblin king's
city!
Aw, Goblin King! Goblin King!
Dreamer's Suicide (Rock 'N' Roll Suicide)
She opens up a drawer, puts her toys away
She looks at a picture, then another picture, then the open drawer
Adventure is calling, but she moves on with no regrets
Oh, ho, ho, ho, She's a dreamer's suicide
She's too young to lose it, but doesn't want to chose it
And tries so hard to forget his song
She looks at her reflection, she must be strong
Oh, no, no, no She's a dreamer's suicide
Now father is calling as they walk into the house
She answers simply and as quiet as a mouse
She looks up at the mirror, spots her friends
They'll come to her until the end
Oh, no, love! You're not alone
He's watching you, but you're too unfair
You're life is still tangled up, and he tried to make ya care
Oh no love! You're not alone
No matter to what lands you've been
No matter whom you now seem
He'll still linger in you're brain
It's really love, though it feels like pain
You're not alone. Just believe again and
You're not alone. Just say his name and
You're not alone (wonderful) Give him you're love, cause He's wonderful
(wonderful)
Give him you're love, cause He's wonderful (wonderful)Oh, give him
you're love!
Well, that ends the official set... Now it's time for the bonus tracks!
Darn, They're Only Dancing (John, I'm Only Dancing)
Sarah's really sweet, she doesn't feel complete
Jareth comes on strong, too bad life is putting them on.
Oh lordy! Oh lordy! You know they need some loving.
Come on! Blast it!
Darn, they're only dancing
She turns him on, but they're only dancing
She turns him on, but something's wrong They're only dancing
Dreamer's love is quick and clean
Life's a ball, glorious scene
He's watching her from the night
Why don't things turn out right?
Oh lordy! Oh lordy! You know they need some loving.
Come on! Blast it!
Darn, they're only dancing
She turns him on, but they're only dancing
She turns him on, but something's wrong They're only dancing
Darn, they're only dancing
She turns him on, but they're only dancing
She turns him on, but something's wrong They're only dancing
Won't someone write a sequel for me?

Scary Goblins and Super Kings...
Lab'rinth's no game (part 1) (It's no game part 1)
Those eyes...blotches - watch your uh, thingy
No help, nuh-uh, to....the castle?
Doors and something...left or right..no, up or down!
Just a large...foot? And some of those short people - uh, is it true
or...right?
Well, lab'rinth's the same? No wait...it's no game!
I am there in this uh..thingy
I can't get it...uh, constipation?
Go find your oral...?
Dumb folks have their babies stolen...
duh...to be insulated by this tea list - it's so stupid..
um...wait, I know this! Uh, lab'rinth's not tame...
Run past mean, scary, viscious, cool goblins...dry and free
You're still my dartboard...?
Call the rocks collect
Toe breaks Reeses Pieces...
Forget what you've earned the day before today
Now it's all a bunch more scarier...uh, scariest? uh...
Put a round floaty thing in a bind
And depants until it parades
uhhh........lab'rinth's the same? Wait...that's not it...
Dreamers round the above place
Try to escalate the falls...
Get away from the lady-people
In the junky smelly homey place
uh.........I forget! This is too hard!
Down the Hill Feet-first (Up the Hill Backwards)
The stillness created by the arrival of magic
And the possibilities it seems to offer
It's got all to do with you
If you can grasp it
It's got all to do with you
If you can grasp it
A series of scares - ground falls apart
cleaners start rolling - help is leaving
It's got all to do with you
If you can grasp it
It's got all to do with you
If you can grasp it
yea, yea, yea down the hill feet-first
It'll be alright ooo-ooo
While I wait you go to work
Your insight is blinded; there's no hope of love
It's got all to do with you
If you can grasp it
It's got all to do with you
If you can grasp it
Magic is now reality
I'm perfect - you're so-so
It's got all to do with you
If you can grasp it
It's got all to do with you
If you can grasp it
yea yea yea down the hill feet-first
It'll be alright ooo-ooo
Scary Goblins (And Super King) (Scary Monsters (and supercreeps)
She had a horror of my maze she was tired and can't beat me
And when I looked into her eyes they were brown and childish still
She could've been a queen if she didn't whine the way she do
She'd open strange doors and start falling down again
She began to wail frustration's screams
I'm waiting at the castle, know what I mean
Scary monsters super king keep her running scared
Scary monsters super king keep her running scared
She asked me to come so I took the child
She cowered before me - I was fright'ning indeed
Now she's dreamless in her room and still can't socialize
Some wonder if I loved her, so I must ask them why?
Still wails music box song, frustration's screams
I'm waiting at the castle, know what I mean
Scary goblins super king keep her running scared
Glitter to Glitter (Ashes to Ashes) (Heeheehee...like I said, this is
dedicated to J!)
Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early film
I've heard a rumor from Henson Co.
Oh whoa, please say it's true
They got a message from the Magic Man
I'm happy, hope you're happy, too
I'm loved, oh how I'm loved
Intriguing details following
The shrieking of Sarah was killing me
Just watched the goblins in complete chaos
But I don't need no money and I still got big hair
And my magic is flowing
Glitter to glitter funk to funky
We all know that J is hunky
Puts us all in a high
From an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay in tonight
But my listians are calling me
Oh yes, yes again
They're stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy hope you're happy too
One flash of light and I'm there beside them
I've done many generous things
I've done many cruel things
I've done everything out of the blue
Who said that I can't be nice?
I'm going to go visiting now
Glitter to glitter funk to funky
We all know that J is hunky
Puts us in a high
From an all-time low
Sarah didn't know it's a sweet thing
To go and mess with the Goblin King
J's Fashion (Fashion) (for some reason I get a kick out of picturing
this as a music video...)
There's a brand new dance
But I don't know it's name
That the king in his home
does again and again
He's big but not bland
Full of tension and fear
He does it over there
But we let him do it here
Fashion - change in the day
Fashion - change in the night
Head of the laby squad
And he's coming to town
Woo-hoo woo-hoo
Listen to him - c'mon and listen to him
Talk to him - c'mon and talk to him
Dance with him - ya gotta dance with him!
yea woo-hoo woo-hoo
There's a brand new talk
To us crystal clear
That folks on the list
Are talking this year
It's loud, never tasteless
You've not heard it before
Shout it while you're dancing
On the ball room floor
Fashion - change in the day
Fashion - change in the night
Head of the laby squad
And he's coming to town
woo-hoo woo-hoo
Listen to him - c'mon and listen to him
Talk to him - c'mon and talk to him
Dance with him - ya gotta dance with him!
yea woo-hoo woo-hoo
Oop bop - tra la la tra la la la la

Lab'rinth Wildlife (Teenage Wildlife)
Stop thinking just about tomorrow
Here's a promise of something hard to do
A real life adventure worth more than crystal spheres
Red skies above and challenge in your face and strength in your stride
And hope in those new dreamer's eyes
You'll get mixed receptions everywhere you go
Blinded by the challenge - guess the game is on
So you'll gain by using brib'ry, search for a path
But it always changes
You rant and scream and shout that it's not fair
Still you push your luck
Still blind and naive are you
The jewel-loving dwarf
Same old guy with new face to guide
Comes clomping into view
As frustrating as the quest
Pretending he'll show you the way
And you'll take him aside
And say
Hoggle, what shall I do
He waits for me in the castle
And he'll say, don't ask me I won't go into that castle
The walls move in numbers and now you're in a corner
Now you're truly a group of one
He can't do this to me
I'm not some piece of lab'rinth wildlife!
Those goblins of stories put on their rusty armor
The word is that the hunted one is out there on her own
You're alone now for the last time
You scream like an angered Banshee
And you shouldn't look behind
You fall to the pit as the ground disappears
Gasp but aloud as I come for you
No, no you're not some piece of lab'rinth wildlife
And kid is gone and no one will confess
It's all up to you if you can pass the test
And there'll be others waiting, begging for a chance
Who'll whisper low
Who was she, where did she go?
Each to her own
Just another piece of lab'rinth wildlife?
Cry Like a Baby (Scream like a baby) (this is done in pure
innocence...don't even think of putting a pedophile innuendo in here!)
Well I wouldn't stop my boo-hooing
And I took her teddy bear
She told me a scary story
But Sarah don't care
So I hid under blankets
Then got taken away
I really can't remember
What else went on that day
But I remember J cause he liked me
Cry like a baby
J was the one
I never knew his last name
But we still had fun
He came down hard on morons
Who wished their lives away
He came down hardest on Sis
Cause she would've tried to stay
Threw her into the pit
Had his minions chase her around
Took away her memory
Pumped her full of peach drugs
And oh I saw J talking
Laughing to her cries
But then I lay me down to sleep
But then I closed my eyes
And I was learning to be a goblin
Cry like a baby
J was the one
But I never knew his last name
But we still had fun
Then she came and broke him used the words from the book
He just stood there and took it
Not needing any revenge
Then he flew into the night sky
Singing that song we loved
Cry like a baby
J was the one
And I still don't know his last name
But I know that we had fun
New Tale Come (Kingdom comes)
Well she walked in the pouring rain
And I heard her voice that cries - it's not in vain
I came and shone like doom, flew into the room
Took her to someplace far away
Took her for just one day
Well Ludo'll be calling the rocks until the new tale comes
The fox'll guard the bridge till the new tale comes
Yes I'll be here waiting until the new tale comes
Boredom's my price to pay until the new tale comes
The Bog is so murky and it can't come clear
And I do know all that's keeping me here
I'm just the slave of a dying tale
Give me the chance to come back and live
Please give me the chance
Well Ludo'll be calling the rocks until the new tale comes
The fox'll guard the bridge till the new tale comes
Yes I'll be here waiting until the new tale comes
Boredom's my price to pay until the new tale comes
The moon keeps shining down the maze is miles long
Up in the window I am waiting
Singing a postmortem song
But all will be brand new when the new tale comes
I'll have new magic to do when the new tale comes
Yes, and I'll come for you when the new tale comes
I won't hear her whine when the new tale comes
I'll be there for your dreamin' when the new tale comes
Well, dream of me when the new tale comes
I won't be sitting here still
I won't be sitting here still
I won't be sitting here still
When the new tale comes
Because You Dream (because you're young)
Fantasy-loving girl - come out to play
Little dreamer girl - don't stay away
You're so fed up and tired - you can't take any more
What do you want to prove? - what do you want to find?
It's love all night and in your dreaming - like I say
The crystal is yours - like I say
The crystal is yours
I'm not wrong, yes I know
Because you dream
You'll meet a GK some night
Because you dream
What could be nicer for you?
And it makes me glad
So I'll dance your tears away
A million dreams
A million tales
Life punishes hard - is loving me such a crime?
Don't take back anything you've said
I'll take the pain a way from your mind
You're people I know, people I love
You seem so unhappy - barely alive
It's love all night and in your dreaming - like I say
The crystal is yours - like I say
The crystal is yours
I'm not wrong, yes I know
Because you dream
You'll meet a GK some night
Because you dream
What could be nicer for you?
And it makes me glad
So I'll dance your tears away
A million dreams
A million tales
Lab'rinth's No Game Part 2 (It's no game, part 2)
Eye lichen and shadows - watch your evolution
No more free help to center
Doors and their riddle - up or down?
Just large heads and dwarves - is it truth or fiction?
Well lab'rinth's no game
I am here, all in this event
Only I can understand the situation
Go find your moral
People have their siblings stolen
To be insulted by these realists - it's so degrading
Lab'rinth's no game
Run past goblins, try and flee
You're still my target
Call the rocks into the road and
Town breaks into pieces
Forget what you've learned yesterday
Now it's all so much scarier
Put a crystal in your mind
And you dance until it bursts
Lab'rinth's no game
Dreamers round the world
Try to escape its walls
Get away from the ladies
In the garbage dumps
Lab'rinth's no game

Fantastic Journey (Fantastic Voyage)
In the event that this fantastic journey
Should turn into depression and you never get home
Remember it's true, fantasy is valuable
And your dreams are valuable, too
You're learning to live with your inner aggression
And you don't want to live with all that aggression
You'll get by, I suppose
It's a very diff'rent world and everything changes
Yours is a bland world but that's no reason
to wish away those children
Take everything for granted
It won't be forgotten
Cause the king won't be generous to you then - will he?
All the right words make him listen
In this fairytale world
Remember it's true a loyalty is valuable
But your dreams are valuable, too
You're learning to live with your inner aggression
And you don't wanna live with all that aggression
You'll get by, I supose
But any sudden movement and you've got to turn around
Riddles and games deceive you and you've got to turn around
And you won't be forgotten
And you're getting educat ed but you've got to turn around
And you won't be forgotten
Cause you'll never be anywhere nice again - how can you?
Underground Night Flight (African Night Flight)
Fairytale nightmare one-time dreamer
One more falls in reality girl
I light on the nearest branch
Watch the changes
She went to far
Bent on a new life
Throw a party
Wonder how the dreamer went down
Gotta get through to the dreamers I know
Hey, ho, they sure wish well
Seemed like another day
I could fly
Into the moon hanging in the sky
(repeat)
Your longing eyes will see me through
One of these days, one of these days
Gonna get through to one
One of these days
Goblin king come take this child from me now
I wish the goblins would come take me away
Getting in the mood for an Underground night flight
Using my pow'r, gonna soar like a mad thing
Silent take-off skimming over the gates
All's in slumber, silent peace
Past fight over the child scheming, dreaming
Muted by the hue of red twilight
Lust for a new game
beat and tamed
pushed off the pedastal
She's to blame
Seems like another day
I could fly
Into the moon hanging in the sky
(repeat)
Over the Bog land
Over the trees
Wise and immortal
That is me
You're longing eyes will see me through
One of these days, one of these days
Gonna get through to one
One of these days
Go On (Move On)
Sometimes I feel
That I need to go on
So I grab my book
And go on
And go on
Well I might make a wish
During a storm
Might take a kid
When I go on
When I go on
Somewhere someone's calling me
And when the chips are down
I'm just a dreaming gal
Maybe it's just a trick of my mind
Somewhere there's an evening sky
Wild like his eyes
Somewhere there's a pale moon
Innocent and wise
Stone maze has little people
Hedge maze has its wiseman
Spend some nights in goblin city
Sleeping on the cluttered ground
Lab'rinth is my escape
When the going's tough
I would love to find him
Somewhere in a maze like that
Somewhere someone's calling me
And when the chips are down
I stumble like that one dwarf
Can't forget him
Can't forget him
Feeling like a shadow
Drifting like a sphere
I stumble like that one dwarf
Can't forget him
Can't forget him
Eye Lichen (Yassassin)
Eye lichen - I'm not a lively thing
Eye lichen - I move without a sound
Eye lichen - Just watch you come, no judge of you
Eye lichen - But such a life you've never known
We grow in the stone cracks
Live in the passages
We see all that goes on
In this magical world
You want to fight
But you don't want to leave
Or drift away
Eye lichen - I'm not a lively thing
Eye lichen - I move without a sound
Eye lichen - Just watch you come, no judge of you
Eye lichen - But such a life you've never known
Look at you - no second chances
Look at you - one shot at love
Look at you - just take a risk
Look at you - then look at us
After the guy in charge
You won't listen to me
Don't you know nothing's wrong?
Cause you've got a love and he's awaiting
You want to fight
But you don't want to leave
Or drift away
Eye lichen - I'm not a lively thing
Eye lichen - I move without a sound
Eye lichen - Just watch you come, no judge of you
Eye lichen - But such a life you've never known
Red Stick (Red Sails)
Feel a bit roughed, feel a lot frightened
Nearly pinned down sometimes
Red stick action from another lost clown
Boy it really gets me down
Thunder footsteps
Thunder footsteps
Red stick makes me
Makes me do some wrong
Red stick from a girl so tall
Red stick
Red stick
Don't you remember there's another person?
Stomp on my roof and make me scared
Graffiti on the ceiling keeps me mad
Tromping over my home
Red stick
Thunder footsteps
Red stick
Man, I don't like you
Red stick
Red stick action
Red stick
Red stick action
Brownie guy seen living under tile
Yell at you in his tongue
Red stick makes him strong
Brownie makes your marks wrong
You stand still and stare
The goblin town the goblin town
You're gonna walk to the goblin town
And it's far far far far far far far far away
It's far far far far fraggin ardvark go away

D.G. (Door Guy) (D.J.)
I'm here, it's my job
And I'm all goodwill
You think this is easy
Solution
There's a right door back there
I suppose
I think he's lying
Choose and see if you fall down
I think he's lying
What do I know?
I am a DG
Not sure what I say
Can't work it out, no, can't work it out
I am a DG
Not sure what I say
Can't work it out, no, can't work it out
I am a DG
Not sure what I say
Be a believer
(which way?)
And believe me
One more choice then
Of hands producing faces
Freefall dead end start over
Find the dwarf and bargain fast
I am a DG
Not sure what I say
Can't work it out, no, can't work it out
I am a DG
Not sure what I say
Can't work it out, no, can't work it out
I am a DG
Not sure what I say
Be a believer
(which way?)
And believe me
Time flies when you're having fun
Fun remarks
Break your heart
The king is my boss
We're just moving talking scenery
I am a DG
Be a believer
Go Back, There's Danger (Look Back in Anger)
I know where you are he said
The speaker was a stone face
He coughed and blinked his slate-grey eyes
Stared at me then moved his lips
It's time you should be going
(Walking so long, I've been walking so)
Go back, there's danger
Hurry and take flight
Don't go on
Go back there's danger
King in a disguise
Don't go on
Hoggle didn't
So another tried to speak
When no attention we did pay
Very sad he seemed to me
Go back there's danger
Hurry and take flight
Don't go on
Go back there's danger
Hear my booming voice
Don't go on
Birds Keep Squawking (Boys Keep Swinging)
Wiseman needs ya
Lost folks love ya
You can see a long way
When you're a bird
Humor is with ya
Life is a comedy sketch
When you're a bird
When you're a bird
You can become a hat
When you're a bird
Passers by check you out
You give advice
These are your favorite things
When you're a bird
Birds
Birds
Birds keep squawking
Birds always talk it out
Leave it in the box
Watch wiseman sleep
Life is stimulating
When you're a bird
They won't wanna clone ya
You're always high on his head
When you're a bird
When you're a bird
You can listen to all of that crap
When you're a bird
Shake around the leetle box
You're always there
When you're a bird
Birds
Birds
Birds keep squawking
Birds always talk it out
Aggravation (Repetition)
I'm a little thing
And I'm smaller than you
But I'm perched up pretty high
And I don't look at you
When you ask me how the job is
I'll get lugged around all day
Pester Ludo in a net
I may have a little bite
But you better stay away
Or I'll tear your blouse
And I'm lugged around by guards
Who are as dumb as rocks
Can't you even fight
What's the good of me nipping when you can't damn fight?
Well I'm a little thing
And I'm smaller than you
I guess the teeth marks won't show
If you wear long sleeves
But the shock in your eyes shows through
And you better stay away
Or I'll tear your blouse
Clear Crystal (Red Money)
Can you feel it in the air
That kid soon won't be of man
Can you see it in the sky
Right before your peach high
Things are going real good
And then it comes along
Plans are cancelled
Tumbling freefall
Clear Crystal
I was feeling really good
All hyped up and almost there, too
Then I got a small clear ball
And I didn't know what to do
Cause my hands just couldn't throw
And I could not give it away
And I shouldn't look into it
Stop it, take it away
Plans are cancelled
Tumbling freefall
Clear Crystal
Can you see it burst
Can you see it well
Can you see me fall
(repeat)
Clear crystal
Clear crystal
Clear crystal
Such a tempting decision
Gotta try and think clearly
