By Yello: Singles Collection 1980-2010

The sun
Blowing the moon away
Lights me up for
One more day
The streets are naked
In the morning sun
The night lifts behind me
I run and run

Morning heat
Puts a thin film of sweat on my face
A little man, his eyes half closed
Puts chairs on tables
Admires his work
And collects a quarter from the floor

I head over to Broadway
Where I watch myself
Having a slow breakfast
Trying to impress the barman with a fresh voice
When I ask for the bill

The sun
Blowing the moon away
Lights me up for
One more day
The streets are naked
In the morning sun
The night lifts behind me
I run and run

Desire
Desire for the unknown eyes
Desire for the unknown name
I'm burning in the morning sun, I want to run
Desire for the unknown name
Desire for the unknown love
I'm burning in the morning sun

I told you lady
Take me for one day
Please don't ask any questions
You know I can stay

I wish the wind was cold
I want to hold you baby hold
Only in your arms I'm lost
Don't look at me

I wish the wind was cold
I want to hold you baby hold
Only in your arms I'm lost
Don't look at me

I know isn't this crazy
Let's have a last drink
Don't ask where I come from
And don't ask what I think
I leave you, lady
Full of desire to stay

I wish the wind was cold
I want to hold you baby hold
Only in your arms I'm lost
Don't look at me

I told you
Take me for one day
Don't ask any questions
You know I can stay

I wish the wind was cold
I want to hold you baby hold
Only in your arms I'm lost
Don't look at me

I wish the wind was cold
I want to hold you baby hold
Only in your arms I'm lost
Don't look at me

I wish the wind was cold
I want to hold you baby hold
Only in your arms I'm lost
Don't look at me

I wish the wind was cold
I want to hold you baby hold
Only in your arms I'm lost
Don't look at me

Robo who, Robo gone, Robo what, Robo one
Robo where, Robo never, Robo why, Robo clever
Robo hi, Robo ho in the sky, Robo no

Robo who, Robo gone, Robo what, Robo one
Robo where, Robo never, Robo why, Robo clever
Robo hi, Robo ho in the sky, Robo no

Waiting for the Robo
I'm a universal hobo
I'm a skinny little creature
Will he turn into a feature
Only visiting the planet
That I'm pushing to a circle
Only Robo makes me rub it all ?
The walls where it begun ?

Visiting your planet
For a few thousand days
Nothing to hide
No reason to stay
Breathless at the end of my run
It all ends where it begun

Robo who, Robo gone, Robo what, Robo one
Robo where, Robo never, Robo why, Robo clever
Robo hi, Robo ho in the sky, Robo no

Robo who, Robo gone, Robo what, Robo one
Robo where, Robo never

Waiting for the Robo
I'm a universal hobo
I'm a skinny little creature
Will he turn into a feature
Only visiting the planet
That I'm pushing to a circle
Only Robo makes me rub it all ?
The walls where it begun ?

Visiting your planet
For a few thousand days
Whatever makes me run?
Has anybody ever seen the end?
Here is where it begun

Visiting your planet
For a few thousand days
Nothing to hide
No reason to stay
Breathless at the end of my run
It all ends where it begun

My life is in a serious mess,
My baby is gone, there's heavy mental stress
I never knew love but I know it now,
I want to give her my heart, but how how

I never knew love but I know it now,
I want to give her my heart, but how how
How How

Maybe I should buy her a beautiful dress,
Maybe gold and diamonds, and no more stress
I decide to call her, it drives me insane,
Then she's on the line and tells me "Don't be vain"

I decide to call her, it drives me insane,
But then she's on the line and tells me I take the blame
You ? little fool and you know what I miss,
No diamonds, no gold, just a kiss
Just a kiss

I got nothing to lose so I know it doesn't matter,
I do it the old way and write her a letter
I know how much I love you and I need you now,
You're the one and only and you tell me how

Now I'm out of trouble and a serious mess,
My baby is back, no more stress
You know how much I love you and I need you now,
I'll give you my heart, just tell me how how
How how

Oh baby, show me the way
To hell and heaven
Oh baby, how do you spell
Suite 907

And I say,
8, 6, 5, 4
Oh baby, I can't take it no more

Play your melody, your tune is divine
Play your song, your beat is mine
Tremendous pain,

Love, heaven, submission and more
Love, hell, in Suite 904

Stormy weather, heavy rain
No moon in the city
Shining streets, Friday night
No mercy, no pity

I hide in my church, in Suite 909
Your word is my bible, your beat is divine
Suite 909

Love, heaven, submission and more
Love, hell, in Suite 904

You bless me with an easy touch
Your fantasy, I need it so much
I hide in my church, I float on the Nile
Your word is my bible, your beat is divine

8, 6, 5, 4
Oh baby, give me some more,
Tremendous pain

Love, heaven, submission and more
Love, hell, in Suite 904

Tremendous pain

You know that my tears
Have kept me awake
The longer you're gone
I'll hunger and shake
From Warsaw to Rome
I'll wait out of time
With you in my heart
The rhythm divine

So won't you come close
Bring this to an end
With each winter rose
My love I will send
So tender the night
When you hold me tight
With you in my heart
The rhythm divine

With you in my heart
The rhythm divine

You know that these tears
Have kept me awake
The longer you're gone
I'll hunger and shake
From Warsaw to Rome
I'll wait out of time
With you in my heart
The rhythm divine
The rhythm divine
The rhythm divine

With you in my heart
The rhythm divine

Mm mm mm mm
I see you walk baby walk
I hear you talk baby talk
I see you dance baby dance
Give me that chance baby chance

Your eyes kill my sight
I guess you know that (mm mm mm mm)
I guess you know that
Your eyes kill my sight (mm mm mm mm)
I guess you know that (You make my heart burn)
I guess you know that
(You make my mind turn)

Lazy lady way too cool
I wanna be your supernatural tool
Lazy lady way too cool
I wanna be your supernatural fool
Mm mm mm mm your supernatural tool

This is your love part, you drive it into my heart
Driving me out of my mind you make me love blind

Your eyes
Yeah!

You make my heart burn, you make my mind turn
This is your love part, you drive it into my heart
Driving me out of my mind you make me love blind

Her name was Julie
When she took me on a ride in her old Chevrolet
Straight into a dusty sundown
I knew she was gonna make up one of her stories
And then she couldn't believe that I told her
How much I love her lies and how much I love her games

Riding on the highway
You're going much too far
You're lying so much better
When you drive a car
You're lying 'til the sundown
So look into my face
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying

I love your games
I love your lies
I love your games
Look in my eyes
Don't believe I'm worried
When you're playing all these games
I love your lies just hold me tight
I got no one to blame
You're lying, I'm buying
I'm buying every word
I love your lies
I love your games

Take me to the ballroom
We're dancing through the night
I'm in your arms, I love your lies
They make me feel so light
You're lying to your shadow
So look into my face
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying

Julie stopped her car
The sun had gone and left one of these dark red skies
She looked in my eyes and with a smile in her face she said
"Of Course I'm Lying.
But I think I love you."

Take me on the highway
You're going much too far
You're lying even better
When you drive a car
You're lying 'til the sundown
So look into my face
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying (I love it)
You're lying

I love your games
I love your lies
I love your games
Look in my eyes
Take me in your arms and hold me tight just for tonight
I need no drugs I love your lies
You hide me from the night
You're lying, I'm buying
I'm buying every word
I love your lies
I love your games
