1. _ Survive
(daryl hall)
Whatever happened to you
The one that was so beautiful
I could count on you to make my life a little brighter
I always thought you were built to last
But i never saw anything fall apart so fast
You were born in freedom
To be a slave to your inhibitions
Inventing excuses and proving the right to back up your condition
But a soul like that ain't tied too tight
And it's liable to scatter all over the night
Seasons change
Some people get old and die
Great cities are built up and torn down
But i see you're still alive
Seasons change
Some people get old and die
Great cities are built up and torn down
So how could you survive
I'm not asking for much
Only for time to stop
And history to go unrecorded
And people not to be people
People not to be people
People not to be people
People not to be people not to be

2. _ Something In 4-4 Time
(daryl hall)
Sooner or later it's a matter of money
And then it's just a matter of time
You can say you don't care and you think it's funny
But baby it's your life on the line
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes
Continue to dream after you're robbed of sleep
Even though the images fade
So grab what you can and all you can keep
Do you really think you'll come out unhurt?
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes

5. _ Sacred Songs
(daryl hall)
I like to read and i like to write
But you could persuade me to put the book down tonight
Just please don't ask to be a song heroine
It's not that easy just to stick you in, stick you in
Oh babe, i know you're right
But there's no time and it's not the night
I'd have to face you again and again
Although you know i'd like to stick you in, stick you in
They're all sacred songs
They're not easily won
You know the words just seem to live on
The thoughts are sacred
Though the sound is profane
But this and that you know they're
One and the same
One and the same
One and the one and the same
You never know how you're gonna end
I start out hard and i end up thin
You waste your time but you occasionally score
But you can't tell from what went down before, down before
Oh babe, do you see my point?
There's just no time and it's not the night
I'd have to face you again and again
Although you know i'd like to stick it in, stick it in
They're all sacred songs
They're not easily won
You know the words just seem to live on
The thoughts are sacred
Though the sound is profane
But this and that you know they're
One and the same
One and the same
One and the one and the same

6. _ Without Tears
(daryl hall)
Too much time is wasted on the world
Too much time is wasted on you, girl
Indifferent or cold
A dragged-up scene from an old dream
Does it surprise you where those feelings can go?
Too much power is wasted on the wrong words
Too much power is wasted on the words
And if there's one thing i've learned through the years
It's how to pour my heart out without tears
Without tears
Earth magic
Looking for the lines
But never knowing that stream
Ley line the spring that's always flowing
Spirals up and down then reverse direction
Don't you wonder where the energy goes?
Too many secrets have been told this way
Too many secrets have been given away
But if there's one thing i've learned through the years
It's how to pour my heart out without tears
Without tears
Earth magic

7. _ Babs And Babs
(daryl hall)
Babs and babs lay dreaming in a four poster bed
Arm in arm, head to head, babs and babs
Babs said, "whatcha thinking?"
She said, "nothing
But i never do 'cause i leave it up to you"
Babs looked out the window
Saw the moon and the sky
She saw the clouds drifting by
Voices crying and sighing and dying but she said nothing
"look out on the lawn, there's a moon out tonight
There's a moon out tonight, can'tcha see?"
"silver dreams don't move me or your talk of the stars
And this isn't the time or place to make a fool of me.
No one wants to hear you when you're slipping away
And the light of your day always shows up the strength of your vision."
But she said nothing.
So babs said "don't you worry, i'll take good care of you
You're lack of feeling's a rotten thing
But i'll show you what to do.
Girl, you've got to get away
Girl, you've got to feel, oh, yeah."
Babs said "don't you patronize me, i'm fine the way i am
At least i know what's happening
And i know just where i stand.
You live alone you die alone
When your dreams all fade away, oh, yeah."
Never compromising, never see eye to eye
So they turn, with a sigh, babs and babs
Have to be together like the night and the day
So they might as well stay the best of friends.
Locked in love we leave them with the moon in the sky
With the clouds drifting by
Voices crying and sighing and dying and we say nothing
She said nothing

8. _ The Farther Away I Am
(daryl hall)
The farther away i am,
The farther away i am
Is it just a cloud passing under
I don't want to lose you.......

9. _ Don't Leave Me Alone With Her
(daryl hall)
Levels
It's just a case of choosing my priorities
Stages
It's just the art of changing our perception
But when i see that girl it messes my security
So please don't leave me alone with her
She always calls me when i'm still at home
Hope i can call you while you're still at home
She always calls before i get away
Hope i can catch you before you get away
Levels
Always a case of choosing my priorities
Stages
It's just the art of changing our perception
But when i see that girl it messes my securities
So please don't leave me alone with her
She wants five minutes of what's taken me a lifetime
I get to see you in between your shows
There are different stages, levels, steps
I think we're far enough gone to worry now
She wants five minutes of what's taken me a lifetime

10. _ Why Was It So Easy
(daryl hall)
The light from your star is glowing
Yeah, i see you in the magazine
Your face seems older now, more knowing
But i prefer a woman to a teenage queen
The wine and the confusion
It's your game and you play it so cool
That night seems like an illusion
In your hotel room
German eyes, blonde disguise
Never really knew who i was talking to
But if you're supposed to be such a mystery
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Too much time has come between us
And the sad words that i hear you say
Must mean you don't hold me inside you
But i guess it couldn't go any other way
That night is so far behind us
The words are changed and so is the time
I only hope that you think of me
In a hotel room
Oh those eyes, blonde disguise
Never really knew who i was talking to
But if you're supposed to be such a mystery
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
