Fundamental

There's a brand new dance
That just hit this town
Makes you feel so good
This dance they call the round and round

Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down

You know the kids got a bloodhound
Out on the playing ground
And when they want to have some fun
They start to goin round and round

Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down

I got an elevator man
In the heart of town
And when he's feeling right
He will carry you round and round

Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down

Baby don't be jealous
When I come to town
I'm just a country girl
Everybody's tryin to push poor me around

Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down

Who'll take the only hearts they got
and throw them into the fire?
Who'll risk their own self respect
in the name of desire?
Who'll regret everything they've done
and who will get the bill?
Lovers will

Who'll hurt each other all the time
and never give it a thought?
Who'll lie about where they've been
and hope they never get caught?
Who'll say each other's kisses
no longer thrill?
Lovers will

Lovers will do almost anything
For the thrill that only love can bring
If love is a healer, who'll be the first ones ill?
Lovers will

Who'll never know what they've got
until it's just about gone?
And whose arms will gather up what's left
to carry on?
And who'll stalk that little bit of love
that hasn't been killed?
Lovers will

There's a howlin at my window, baby
I hear him closin in
That green-eyed jackal's got the scent
Knows I'll let him in
He slinks in by me at the fire
More bitter than the cold
And it's a rage as old as Hades
That'll sputter on these coals

I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on the spit of love again

I never have believed you
But I stick around for more
Somethin bout that hollow in your eyes
There's a darkness at the core
Well, it's got me slowly turnin
I'm basting on the bone
I'm skewered like some drunken fool
In juices all my own

Callin the Furies' carrion choir
Singin me back upon the pyre
I'm roasting on that spit of love again

You can call it what you want
But it's lyin just the same
There's no mercy in these ashes, baby
When your love's a cryin shame
And they're howlin in moonlight, baby
They're here to call my bluff
they're wonderin if there'll ever come a day
When I'll have finally had enough

I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on that spit of love again

Baby, won't you come and tell me
Tell me what we're gonna do...yeah, baby
I've tried everything I know just to,
Just to try and get along with you
Wake up in the morning and already
You are aimin for a fight
No matter what I say or do
I'm never gonna get it right

But ain't we gettin kind of tore down
Always layin it on the line
I don't think that when they called it love
This what they had in mind

(Chorus)
(Hey) Baby, don't you know that
I'm on your side
All you got to do now, darlin...
Take my little heart and open wide
Hey baby, I know we can work it out
Might take a little mojo workin, baby
But ain't that what love is all about?

Hey, Baby, must be somethin bout this
push and pull
makes me wonder if we stir it up...
just to make sure things'll never get dull.

Come on baby take the gloves off
and then untie those shoes
I got something more tantalizin
For you left and right to do

(Chorus)

Last night I thought I found you
I saw it in a dream
I was tangled in the rushes, baby
You were caught up in the stream
And the more I tried to reach you
The more you slipped away
And when I woke up in the darkness
I was callin' out your name

(Chorus)
You and we dance around it
Why is the truth so hard to say
We long for true love, well
We've found it, it's just
One Belief Away

There's a shadow in the garden
And it's coiled around our hearts
Won't you help me to believe you, baby
Won't you show me where to start

The more I try to reach you
The more you slip away
I want to wake up in the darkness
and hear you callin' out my name

(Chorus)

When I was a girl, my favorite thing
In the whole wide world
Was to see a field and
Run for no reason
And off I'd go, no one behind
Only earth below
Just a patch of green, green as the season

Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason

Now that things have changed
Everything's carefully prearranged
Not a thing gets done
Except for a reason
Now I'm overrun, I'm startin to feel
Like a hired gun
Where's the chance, where's the fun
Where is the pleasin?

Try and try, you moan and sigh
You just can't find a thing to believe in
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason

Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
You're just blue, blue for no reason
