1997

Move closer, set my mind on fire
Taking over, the world seems so alive
The world seems so alive

She slips into the night, and she is gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while i'm waiting for her

Down in the basement, listening to the rain
Thinking things over. i think it over again
I think it over again

She slips into the night, and she was gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while i'm waiting for her

I'm riding it down, listen to the rain
She'll be here soon, i lie back and drift away
I lie back and drift away.

She slips into the night, and she was gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while i'm waiting for her

I'm feeling so alive, feeling so real
On a stormy night, the rain is coming down
Rain like never before
I've got some records on, some bottles of wine
On a stormy night, the rain is lashing down
And i'm waiting for her

Kung fu do what you do to me
I haven't been the same since my teenage lobotomy
Full on, i moved to hong kong
With bruce lee's brother and johnny wong

I think it's strange
He's friends with fu manchu
And he thinks he knows you
Uh uh uh uh uh oh
Oh daniel san made in taiwan
Come on jackie chan
Uh uh uh uh uh oh

Last night jackie chan came around
I played pool with him and we hung out
Mr. miagi and the x-men
Called in for a while as well

I think it's strange
He's friends with fu manchu
And he thinks he knows you
Uh uh uh uh uh oh
Oh daniel san made in taiwan
Come on jackie chan
Uh uh uh uh uh oh

Gary glitter!
Scooby doo!
Rock mcmurray!
And last but not least
Ladies and gentleman
I give you...
Johnny wong!

Kung fu do what you do to me
I can't live without my kung fu movies
'shanghai killers' and 'deadly road'
My life was ruined when the green dragon closed

Oh i think it's strange
He's friends with fu manchu
And he thinks he knows you
Uh uh uh uh uh oh
Oh daniel san made in taiwan
Come on jackie chan
Uh uh uh uh uh oh

I think it's strange
He's friends with fu manchu
And he's in love with you
Uh uh uh uh uh oh
Oh daniel san made in taiwan
Come on jackie chan
Uh uh uh uh uh oh

At the end of the day when all had been done
And all had been bad
In the kitchen laughing with you
Before i went to bed
My face in the light illuminated
Untroubled and safe
As your face is shining upon me
A love the would never cease

Out where the cold wind blows
It rocks my childhood sleep
And up in the starry skies
And further out to sea
Late in time when it will come
At night with the cold wind blowing
At night with the cold wind blowing outside

Gone the dream, it's all faded now
Gone the dream, it's all fade now
Take me home

Hours pass ticking slowly
Lying wide awake
All across the land the lights are out
Under an open sky
I fell for you and everybody
Dreaming in your beds
I'm feeling lost, there is nothing
Nothing more than this

Going out where the cold wind blows
It rocks my childhood sleep
And up in the starry skies
And further out to sea
Late in time when it will come
I see it in my dreams
At night with the cold wind blowing
At night with the cold wind blowing

Tripping round the town
When the sun comes down
Flying with your friends
With the stars alive
Tripping round the town
When the sun comes down
Flying with your friends
With the stars alive
Running on a high from the spirit inside
Taking on the world with an innocent smile
Running on a high from the spirit inside
Taking on the world with an innocent smile

Something knocked me down
And i fell far to the ground
I lost it all in one night
Just wandering around

Vandalism's fun when there's nothing to do
Break a few things say it wasn't you
Vandalism's fun when there's nothing to do
Break a few things say it wasn't you
Let it all kick in, take you for a ride
Strapped to a rocket heading for the sky
Let it all kick in, take you for a ride
Strapped to a rocket heading for the sky

Something knocked me down
And i fell far to the ground
I lost it all in one night
Just wandering around

That's when i got the shiver
That reawoke my mind
Swinging from a chandelier
Hanging from the sky
You turned it all around
It only took a smile
Swinging from a chandelier
Hanging from the sky
Hanging from the sky

Running on a high from the spirit inside
Taking on the world with an innocent smile
Running on a high from the spirit inside
Taking on the world with an innocent smile

Remembering the warm summer nights
When everything is gonna turn out right
When all the answers lie behind your eyes
And everythings gonna turn out right

All i want is to see you smile
All i want is to see you smile

The answers always are waiting there
You give me feelings that i used to get
And remember things that i had forgotten
Long ago

Remembering the warm summer nights
When everything is gonna turn out right
Remembering the warm summer nights
And everythings gonna turn out right

All i want is to see you smile
All i want is to see you smile

The answers always are waiting there
You give me feelings that i used to get
And remember things that i had forgotten
I get the feelings i used to get
And remember things that i had forgotten
Long ago

All i want is to see you smile
All i want is to see you smile

Do you remember the time i knew a girl from mars?
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards,
Henri winterman cigars.
Though she never told me her name,
I still love you, girl from mars.

Sitting in our dreamy days by the water's edge,
On a cool summer's night.
Fireflies and the stars in the sky,
Gentle glowing light,
From your cigarette.
The breeze blowing softly on my face,
Reminds me of something else.
Something that in my memory has been replaced,
Suddenly it all comes back.
And as i look to the stars.

I remember the time i knew a girl from mars,
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards,
Henri winterman cigars.
Though she never told me her name,
I still love you, girl from mars.

Surging through the darkness over the moonlight strand,
Electricity in the air.
Twisting all through the night on the terrace,
Now that summer's here.
I know you are almost in love with me,
I can see it in your eyes.
Strange light shimmering over the sea tonight,
And it almost blows my mind
And as i look to the stars

I remember the time i knew a girl from mars,
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards,
Henri winterman cigars.
Though she never told me her name,
I still love you, girl from mars.

Today i sleep in the chair by the window,
It felt as if you'd returned.
I thought that you were standing over me,
When i woke there was no-one there.
I still love you, girl from..
Mars

Do you remember the time i knew a girl from mars?
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards,
Henri winterman cigars.
Though she never told me her name.

Do you remember the time i knew a girl from mars?
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards.
Henri winterman cigars.
And i still dream of you,
I still love you, girl from mars
