Live at Rockpalast

Tell me one more time, as I hold your hand that you don't love me
Tell me one more time, as teardrops start to fall
Shout it to me and I'll shout it to the skies above me
That there was nothing after all

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, tell me that you never wanted my loving
Baby, baby, tell me that you never
Tell me, tell me one more time, one more time
Say you're leaving, say goodbye
One more time, one more time
Say you're leaving, say goodbye

Tell me one more time, we never had a thing in common
Tell me one more time, as you turn and face the wall
Tell me I should know you never were my kind of woman
And tell me we were fools to fall

[Chorus]

Tell me one more time, your tears are only sad confusion
And tell me it's just been so long and that is all
And tell me one more time that love was only my illusion
You never answered to my call

[Chorus]

I was so low
People almost made me give up trying
Always said no
Then I turned around saw someone smiling

I stepped into
I stepped into
Into another
Into another
I stepped into
I stepped into
Into another
Into another world

There was no light
I was going to all the wrong places
Like day from night
Suddenly I saw a thousand faces

I stepped into
I stepped into
Into another
Into another
I stepped into
I stepped into
Into another
Into another world

When you're fixing your make-up
You know you take too long
And when you mix me a drink up
You know you mix it too strong
And when you fix me a breakfast
You know you fix it too late
With the wrong kind of egg-cup
And the wrong kind of plate
But honey look at your eyes
You got the innocent eyes
And now you're asking me why
I'm mad at you
Mad at you

So come on what's your problem
You know we'll miss half the show
How come I'm walking so fast
How come your walking so slow
After fixing your make-up
For an hour and a half
You say your new shoes are hurting
And you expect me to laugh
But honey look at your eyes
You got the innocent eyes
And now you're asking me why
I'm mad at you
Mad at you

Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
You know, they never seem to hear even your cry
[Chorus:]
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what is mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall
One and all
The harder they come
The harder they fall
One and all
And the oppressors are trying to track me down
They're trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say, forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
[Chorus]
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
[Chorus]

Music has charms they say
But in some people's hands
It becomes a savage beast
Can't they control it
Why don't they hold it back

You see my friend and me
Don't have an easy day
And at night we dance not fight
And we need the energy
If not the sympathy

But i'm brutalized by bass
And terrorized by treble
I'm open to change my mood but
I always get caught in the middle

And i get tired of dj's
Why's it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through
I'm gonna tell him too
Tell him to
Play us
Play us a slow song

It's late - i'm winding down
Am i the only one
To want a strong and silent sound
To pick me up and undress me
Lay me down and caress me

I feel you touch my hand
And whisper in my ear
Ask me how i'm feeling now
And i want to get near you
But i can't even hear you

But this is a fine romance
If we have to be so demanding
We need just one more dance to
Leave here with an understanding

And i get tired of dj's
Why's it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through
I'm gonna tell him too
Tell him to
Play us
Play us a slow song

Ya make a guy feel humble
I make a fool of myself again
Ya make me trip and stumble
Just go dance by yourself again
I'll just watch
Cause that's all I want to do
But remember
That I'm here with your drink
At my table for two

And you're kinda kute baby, kinda kute baby
See you dance in your satin suit baby
When you move gotta sit right down
No competition with
This kinda kutie around

I see ya pass by my window
Have to run down the stairs again
I fix my hair around a corner
Catch you unawares again
And you laugh
And you move that way again
Just like last night, oh yea that's right
I'm the guy with the big feet
But plenty of nerve

Pretty soon now
Why 'know I'm gonna make a comeback
And like the birds and the bees in the trees
It's a sure-fire smash
I'll speak
To the masses throughout the media
And if you got anything to say to me
You can say it with cash
'Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
So give me all your money
Cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile

I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Kung fu
That was one of my good ones
Well what's a few broken bones
When we all know it's good clean fun
Skateboards
I've almost made them respectable
You see I can't always get through to you
So I go for your son
I had a giant rubber shark
And it really made a mark
Didja looka looka lookit alla blood
Give me all your money
Cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile

I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Right now
I think I'm gonna plan a new trend
Because the line on the graph's getting low
And we can't have that
And you think you're immune
But I can sell you anything
Anything from a thin safety pin
To a pork pie hat
Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
So give me all your money
Cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile

I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo
