unknown

Long ago a lonely man stood
Off of a quiet avenue
A pretty girl in passing chanced to look
That's when he fell, fell for you

I listen to the rain
Pounding on the railing
The beat's a sweet, soft refrain
Of how he found you lorraine

He's rocking on a porch you used to know
Here where he swore his love was true
He sips his drink and dreams the days of old
Of when he fell, fell for you

I listen to the rain...

I think i'm walkin' down your street
I sense a silent shuffle to my heartbeat
Why cry, i'll just fade
Fade you away

I watch your window from the street
I guess i'll etch a vision in my daydreams of you
Of you, of you, but you

Never thought i'd be so proud-
But i will never live without you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, fade
Fade you away, i will fade, fade you away
I think i'm walkin' down your street...

Oh, love me now
It's just i need you now
You see it's just
I'm so lost
And i don't know who i am.

But i know what you want
You see it in the magazine
You read, your reading
My pulse when you touch
Turns my feelinings all around

If you need a perfect lover
A magazine cover
A magazine cover
Wait, wait some body...

I lack the enzymes
To properly digest lactose
I can't drink cow's milk
I can't drink milk from a goat
Yogurt, cottage cheese
Make me throw up
Please no cream in my cup

My stomach is swelling
I am lactose --- intolerant
My throat is constricting
I am lactose --- intolerant

Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging or
Rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
To do for you to see you through?
This is all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago

Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way, feel your way
Like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
Around some corner
Where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
To watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
When you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
You find by you, you can see
Clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
Through other eyes on other days
While going home --
What do you want me to do,
To do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
To another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
With words half spoken
And thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through
A a box of rain will ease the pain
And love will see you through

Just a box of rain -
Wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
If you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
In and out the window
Like a moth before a flame

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
Or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
Or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
And a short time to be there

Wo, wo
Wo, wo
Wo, wo
Wo, wo

Cut out
Cut out
Cut out
Cut out

The train was leaving at 10 after 10
I got to the station just in time to check in
I've been bumpin' my bags all around
I'm trying hard to never knock people down
But i can see i left a few on the ground
And as the train pulls away i can hear the conductor say

Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train (echoes)
I'm not to blame (echo)
Right track wrong train... train

I read my schedule but my train wasn't there
I re-read my ticket, it said going nowhere
Everybody had the same tatooed face
All the women and men dressed in lace
I think i gotta get out of this place
I should've got off before the engineer locked the door

Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train (echoes)
I'm not to blame (echo)
Right track wrong train, train train train hey !

"hey that's a neat tatoo you're wearing. by the way where'd you get it ?
Uh huh. say, is this an express train ? uh huh.
Snack bar ? uh huh. uh huh."

Something is happening so familiar to me
Is this the outer limits like on tv ?
Another empty town fading to gray
Another coca-cola sign on the way
Have a cup of coffee, have a nice day
And as the train pushes on,
We're headed for babylon
Oh no...

Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train (echoes)
Right track wrong train...
On the wrong train on the right track
We don't know if she'll ever come back

(talking) what train is this ?
Something is happening so familiar to me
Is this the outer limits like on tv ?
Have a cup of coffee, have a nice day (talking)
"yeah, yeah i'll be right there yeah. i'm gonna get the next train yeah."

I wanna run my fingers through your hair
Squeeze your hand and tell you that i care
Park in the dark and kiss goodnight
Thrill me h-h-hold me tight
C'mon pretty baby you could maybe take a chance with me

I'll fall still when you walk in the room
I'll look up and you'll be lookin' c-c-cool
Curled up smile upon your lips
One button low my heart just flips
C'mon pretty baby you could maybe take a chance with me

The stars complete the melody
Could you say you belong to me
And as they ride the milkyway
Baby, baby can i have this dance
Baby, baby can you take a chance someday-
Did i tell you now

I wanna...

(piano)

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are

Flyer fly me away
Higher til i can't see
Glider keeper of my dreams
Of whatever once was me

I was thinking of you
I was thinking all i was just thinking
Fly me away
Flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyer
You could make it last a long time
Well for all time
And for always
You could make it last forever
Was just thinking
Oh i was just thinking i was i was

Oh
Flyer dancing on the skylite
By play of my youth
Like a cryer clinging to a shadow
I go on and on and on on
And wishin' and
Thinking of you

I was thinking oh i was just thinking
Fly me awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyer

You could make it last a long time
Well, for all time
For always
You could make it last forever
Was just thinking
Oh i was just thinking i was i was
Oh....la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Da da da
Da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

(guitar solo )

So when i sing my song
When my heart is beating stronger
I'm flying away
Flying away
Ohhhhh
Flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy me away
Fly me away
Ohhhhh

Na na na na na naaaa na na
Na na naaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Na
Na na na na na naaaa na na
Na na naaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I was just thinking....

Just the other day-
I heard you walked out on her
Just the other day-
I heard it's not forever

You say, anyway-
You said it's not like before
Just the other day-

Did she let you go
Did she let you go.

Just the other day-
You lost the girl you adored
Just the other day-
You boyish love was the cause
Did she cost you pain
You could have held out for more
Just the other day-

Did she let you go
Did she let you go

I see your walking alone
Will you still talk to me
If she's not by your side anymore.

The lyrics as they performed it
When i see the sign that points "one way".
The lot we used to pass by every day.

Just walk away renee,
You won't see me follow you back home.
And as the rain beats down,
Upon my weary eyes.
For me it cries.

Your name and mine inside a heart, upon the wall,
Still find a way to haunt me,
Though they're so small.

Just walk away renee,
You won't see me follow you back home.
These empty sidewalks on my block
Are not the same.
You're not to blame.

In the bosom of europa
Little liza was caressed
By the music of the angels
Playing underneath her dress
She saw the great caruso
And that's when she fell in love
She'd think of him as elvis
If she knew who elvis was

Spinning round and round
You can hear her moan
She's all by herself
But she's not alone

Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody

By the shores of the gitchee goomee
She was floating on her bed
She was deaming of al jolson
And what she thought he said

He was looking in the mirror
He was putting on the paint
Said the hardest thing about this job
Is being what you ain't

Just an old white man
In a strange new world
Can you come out tonight
Little buffalo girl

Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody

From the loins of the liberace
Sprang a million little tunes
And they whirled around eliza
Like so many little moons
Every jewel held a secret
Every flourish held a clue
As he held her in a rapture
Singing i'll be seeing you

Wonderful things happen to me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody
Wonderful wave - wash over me
Whenever i sing that white man's melody

he met marmelade down at old moulin rouge
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said hello hey jo wanna give it a go

Gouchi gouchi ya ya, da da
Gouchi gouchi ya ya here
Mocha chocalata ya ya, creo lady marmelade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir.
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi.

Sat in her boudoir while she freshened up,
That boy drank all that magnolia wine.
On the black satin sheets where he started to freak.

Gouchi gouchi ya ya, da da
Gouchi gouchi ya ya here
Mocha chocalata ya ya, creo lady marmelade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir.
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi.

He came through in with the money in the garden bags
Let them know we got the cake steaigt out the gate
Some women say that is for whores
But why spend mine when i can spend yours
So this is agreed for you i'm sorry
I'm gonna keep playing those cats for all that money
High heel shoes getting love from the blues
For the bad ass chicks from the roulin rouge
Hey sister, sow sister, better get that dough sister
I drink wine with dimands in the glass
By the case, thets the meaning of expensive taste

Gouchi gouchi ya ya
Mocha chocalata, creo lady marmelade

Marmelade, marmelade, marmelade

Samui kita no kuni wa ima, mori no juhyo ga kirei desho
Ima sugu kita no machi made tonde iketanara
Furushikiru yuki subete o oou,
Hito no kokoro mo, namida mo tsutsunde iku
Shiroi yuki no youna yasashisa ga hoshii
Nanimokamo yuruseru kokoro ga hoshii

Ehagaki de mitsuketa toui hi no yo, yuki no machi
Mado akari no nukumori totemo shiawase sou
Shiroi yuki no youna yasashisa ga hoshii
Kagiri naku hirogaru, negai wa yume...gin iro no yume

When you left me all alone at the record hop
Told me you were goin' out for a soda pop
You were gone for quite a while -- half-an-hour more
You came back and man, oh, man, this is what i saw:

Lipstick on your collar told a tale on you
Lipstick on your collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and i are through
'cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you! yeah!

You said it belonged to me, made me stop and think
And then i noticed yours was red; mine was baby pink
Who walked in but mary jane, lipstick all a mess?
Were you smoochin' my best friend? guess the answer's 'yes'

Lipstick on your collar told a tale on you
Lipstick on your collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and i are through
'cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you! boy!
Told a tale on you! man!
Told a tale on you! yeah! (fade)

I dreamt last night that he held me tight
In a bar we knew way back when -
Drinkin' sloe gin
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin

Oh then the band played "goodnight, sweetheart"
One more dance and we were ready to go.
From the spark heel boppin'
To the light of a steamed window.

Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin.
For a heart throb,
Too long gone to cry again
With them smoke-filled runaway kisses
Some so young
Chances are a million to one
You got me startin' to believe
That the thrill ain't never gone.

Then i woke up in the dark to a different sound
That was coming from my radio
They were playin' somethin' else
'sides "go, johnny, go go go"
So i turned to my sweetie, said "roll over, honey
'cause your mama's gonna show you some fun."
I said "roll over, honey, cause
The thrill ain't never gone."

Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin.
For a heart throb,
Too long gone to cry again
Those smoke-filled runaway kisses
Some so young
Chances are a million to one
You got me startin' to believe
That the thrill is never gone.
...

I met a man who drew the line
He couldn't cross his fear of intimacy
He just sighed
Because he left behind all his fantasy
Ooh-hoo, ooh, woo, woo, yeah

If you build a wall up, high
You start to crumble
And you never know why
Your tears never dry

--chorus--
If you're running from the vision
That's in your eyes
There's a collision with what's inside
This ain't livin'
I need someone to hold
How did it get so cold

You say you need a little time
To heal from some romantic injury
And i say fine
But if you change your mind
You can lean on me
Ooh, woo, woo, yeah

But i'm going on with my life, oh
I've seen it everyday
People get burned
And they throw love away

Repeat chorus, verse 2, chorus

Cold, so cold (2x)
Cold (4x)
I need someone to hold
How did it get so cold
It's coming from the kitchen
It's coming from the sky
It's coming round the corner
Straight for you and i
It gets so cold

-- fade out --

I'm gonna write a little letter,
Gonna mail it to my local dj.
It's a rockin' rhythm record
I want my jockey to play.
Roll over beethoven, i gotta hear it again today.

You know, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse.
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues.
Roll over beethoven and tell tschaikowsky the news.

I got the rockin' pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I think i'm rollin' arthiritis
Sittin' down by the rhythm review.
Roll over beethoven rockin' in two by two.

When i was a little girl i had a rag doll
The only doll i've ever owned
Now i love you just the way i loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper let me say
And it gets higher day by day

Do i love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If i lost you would i cry
Oh how i love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well i'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No i'll never let you down
Cause it goes on and on like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby as it grows

Do i love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If i lost you would i cry
Oh how i love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And i love you baby like a robin loves to sing
And i love you baby like a schoolboy loves his bag
And i love you baby river deep mountain high

I have carried all my hopes and dreams
To this new land with my own two hands
I have followed the sun away from ireland,
Now like the red man, here i stand.

You hear whispers of the homeland call,
Love is less kind than the twilight.
And the passion for me once in your green eyes,
Like the sunlight fades from sight.

Twilight eyes, i can taste the salty tears of goodbye.
I can feel the cold north sea,
You'll be sailing with the tide
To the island in your emerald twilight eyes.

I had a love
Sweeter than you'll know
Oh i had a lifetime in a moment
He was a boy
I loved so tenderly
He could have been
But he walked away - oh, oh, oh, oh

Baby don't go
I thought maybe i should have
Told you long before
Something inside is erasing
The time back to the memory-
When you were mine.

I've got a ticket, no turning back
My destination...
The sea of trouble, the land of pain
You're sending me where it always rains
Oh reconsider, i'm begging you, some hesitation
I'm holding on to my sanity
I feel the beginning of emergency
My hands are slipping, oh please don't let me fall into

This hole in my heart that goes all the way to china
You gotta fill it up with love before i fall inside of...
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to china
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down

I'm on a planet without a plan
It's oh so lonely
I need to see you to get out of here
There's something deadly in this atmosphere
I'm in a desert, without a drink of your sweet water
You're my oasis in the burning sand
I'm out of danger when you touch my hand
Throw me a lifeline, i'm standing on the edge of...

This deep, dark hole that goes all the way to china
You gotta fill it up with love before i fall inside of...
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to china
And though you can't see the bottom believe me it's a long way down

The gun was loaded, i didn't know
I pulled the trigger,
I heard a noise then the room went dark
I felt the bullet going in my heart
I feel so dizzy, oh please don't let me fall, don't leave me in

This hole in my heart that goes all the way to china
You gotta fill it up with love before i fall inside of -
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to china
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down

I've got a hole in my heart
You've got to fill it up with love

I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt i had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their donald duck light
And i frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Satellites buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus christ, imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest
Who is the best
Who holds the aces
The east
Or the west
This is the crap our children are learning
And oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

Now the satellite's confused
'cos on saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed
To the sight of a billion candles burning
But, i'm not saying that the battle is won
But on saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the war lords
Oh, the tide is turning
Oh, the tide is turning
Oh, the tide is turning
Oh, the tide is turning
(repeated)

Oh the hills are full of spirits
And they walk when night comes round
And they speak to who they choose to
When the moon is shining down
And ramona loves the orchard
And liza loves the pine
And cyrus in the moonlight
Loves the flowing of the wine

Oh cyrus trusts the spirits
And they fill his life with grace
Yeah the father of his fathers
Passed him down the gift of faith
And one night you might hear it
Like a wailing from above
It's just cyrus in the moonlight
Singing to the one he loves...

And the two girls start to dancing
When they hear that drunken voice
That's when cyrus asks the moonlight
Do i have to make a choice
'tween liza with her red hair
And ramona with her blues
And with all these gifts they bring me
Tell me how can i refuse

Well the hills are full of spirits
And they walk when night comes round
And they speak to who they choose to
When the moon is shining down
And ramona loves the orchard
And liza loves the pine
And cyrus in the moonlight
Loves the flowing of the wine
And one night you might hear it
Like a wailing from above
It's just cyrus in the moonlight
Singing to the one he loves...

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry,
You'd better not pout, i'm telling you why:
Santa claus is coming to town.

He's making a list, he's checking it twice,
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice.
Santa claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you are sleeping;
He knows when you're awake.
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness' sake.

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry,
You'd better not pout, i'm telling you why:
Santa claus is coming to town.

(repeat everything a second time)
