You got your whole life for loving
She ain't the only girl around
You can't achieve by shovin'
What can't be shaken down
I know you got nothing going on
But you can't sing a love song
If you can't slow down

You take your heart full of trouble
For what might happen someday
You can't by weeping double
What you can't keep or can't make
I know you're tired of waiting for your true love
But don't let yourself just settle for a someone
I know you got nothing going on
But you can't sing a love song
If you can't slow down

If you stop to look you'll discover
What was there all the while
You'll find your sisters and brothers
Together gonna get it right
I want you to open up your eyes 'cause what you
Don't have is gonna make you a little wiser
I know you're tired of waiting for your true love
But don't let yourself just settle for a someone
I know you got nothing going on
But you can't sing a love song
If you can't slow down

Layin' down one night
What'd Papa tell Mama
What'd Papa tell Mama
[?] boy boogie
Hey hey
Hey hey
You gotta come on

I felt so good
Wanna [?] the same
Boom boom boom boom
Gonna shoot you right down
Offa your feet

Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang
Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang

I love the way you walk
And I love the way you talk
When you walk that walk
And you talk that talk

You knocked me out
Right off my feet
Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang
Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang
How how how how
How how how how

Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang
Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang

I love the way you walk
I love the way you talk
When you walk that walk
And you talk that talk

You knocked me out
Out off my feet
Boom boom boom boom
Bang bang bang bang
Boom boom boom boom
Gonna shoot you right down
Offa your feet
How how how how
Hey hey

These days without you let me down slow
And keep me after what I used to know
And keep me waiting for your smile
Sunlight in your eyes
And deeply hopin' you'll be coming home

These days have got me down upon my knees
Amazed at what I never thought I'd need
If I could have you I would try
Not to let slip by
For what once seemed so important to me

And when I wake up
I reach over for you
My mind won't stray 'cause
I'm troubled for you

These days I'm counting on the sun to take
And find me dreaming that you'd gone away
And wait to hear you grumble along
Lord, I've been so wrong
And sorry for the things I didn't say

And when I wake up
I reach over for you
My mind won't stray 'cause
I'm troubled for you

These days without you know they're gonna end
'Cause time can't come between two better friends
And what I can't see I will find
Will not lose its shine
And what is broken time is gonna mend

And when I wake up
I reach over for you
My mind won't stray 'cause
I'm troubled for you

And when I wake up
I reach over for you
My mind won't stray 'cause
I'm troubled for you

Been six days since your last hello
Empty space here, that's your pillow
It's a black night and the moon is yellow
Keep that shade high and the music mellow

Julianna I want you now
You're the woman who showed me how
To be a man and make up my mind
Julianna I'm wasting time
Julianna why won't you believe?
I'll be the lover you want me to be
You are the moon and the sun and the sea
Julianna don't set me free

I've been crazy, hang this head low
Touch my heart there, feels like Brillo
Think I don't care, except for my, well, you know
Shine your light on this weeping willow

Julianna I want you now
You're the woman who showed me how
To be a man and make up my mind
Julianna I'm wasting time
Julianna why won't you believe?
I'll be the lover you want me to be
You are the moon and the sun and the sea
Julianna don't set me free

Dance under the missile glow, over the eastern sea
Gunshot by the side of the road - highway scenery
Revolution got no goals, except keepin' the family together
Dang chains isn't sweet on you
Freedom fighter, don't let 'em get you alive
You won't change a damn thing that is true
Freedom fighter, keep your head on tonight
Take me on with you
Take me along with you tonight
She came late for the tank parade with her emancipation song
She plugged in a guitar and played, and sang of Spanish bombs
Jackknifed inside and prayed, the world has come undone!
Yeah, whatever...
Damn chains look good on you
[Chorus]
Sagittarius rising low, may he follow you
Shine on you and take you home, over the eastern sea

Nine O'clock turn it on, turn it on and your spellbound
It's a t.v. movie and it isn't a letdown
Now "The Killer" is on, and they're nearing the takedown
Did you see her shoot one man while she was funning another?
What she conveniently reveals, as she is running for cover?
Now the killer is on the town, the avenger is at the shutters! Chorus
Eleven O'clock and the news is making me sorry
There's a killer over there, but you don't have to worry
- about all the bad things going down
Going down in a hurry
[Chorus]
She is taking the weight of the world and making it hollow
She touched my hand and made me a knight in her Harlem
She wants me to tell her
I mean to be silent
I see you smile half innocent
Add seduction, some blood, and then you don't feel anything
(you can't feel everything) - except hysteria

She takes my hand
Takes it around her as she listens in her car
Misunderstands as her eyes fall like a star,
She says she needs just a little more.

It's almost dawn and the talk is getting slow
Time to cut through the lock on the door
You could have got away, but you just had to steal some more

"I want to leave you again and again, but I don't want to leave you again"
"I want to leave you again and again, but I don't want to leave you again"

Something I said
Must have hit her like a flashing red light
Give her the reason to fly on me
She's dancing with the girls tonight
Three A.M. and she wraps herself around me. She says,

"I want to leave you again and again, but I don't want to leave you again."
"I want to leave you again and again, but I don't want to leave you again."

I keep wishing you'd fly away
How can you hold yourself down?
You carry on like this every other day
You're turning into the sound

You've got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on your mind
You tell me everything is fine - just fine
On a runaway train tonight

You say "I love you in another way,"
You say you're leaving this town
You drive me up to your hideaway, as you were burning it down

You've got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on your mind
Tell you everything is fine - just fine
On a runaway train tonight

I need a reason to keep away, or get up off my back
I can't stop it or turn away till I run out of track

I got touchin' on the line, but leaving is on my mind
I'll tell you everything is fine - just fine
On a runaway train tonight
On a runaway train tonight
On a runaway train tonight (On a runaway)
On a runaway train tonight

Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may your drifting take you far

It's the same with everyone
Cut off chasing the western sun
I took a chance to make it better
Ended up drowning in a wishing well
I ain't likely to see you again
But God knows I still think about you now

Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may your drifting take you far

She wasn't able to save the story
So we skidded out in a melted glory
Pushing off for the promised land
Ended up stranded on the desert sand
Hey, think on you, well...
The hell about it is the someone in your room

Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may your drifting take you far

Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may you listen to your heart
Missy may your drifting take you far

Ended up drowning in a wishing well
Ended up drowning in a wishing well

Ended up drowning in a wishing well

I'm changing now the wind is at my back
And I'm so ready to go
And I cannot sleep tonight for tomorrow
Ain't gonna get to you tonight
Like a wild jet plane you rise
Forgiven

See that your time wasn't a waste
Don't you let her leave you tonight,
You know she can't be sorry for affectionate lies
She's so sweet for her crimes
Like a wild jet plane, she flies
Forgiven

Now you'll never catch me looking back,
Though I've still a long way to go
Don't you count on me tonight
You need to find your own way home tonight
Like a sinking ship, dive
Like a wild jet plane arising
Forgiven
