"Divine intervention Couldn't keep the word from leaking out (Out, out...) With your pleasure in suspension, Not to mention what you hang it around. If you need a lead to heaven again, A place to share in every position. What do you care? What do you dare What does your heart say now?"

"Got to get you out of my mind, But I can't escape from the feeling. As I try to leave the memory behind, Without you, what's left to believe in?"

"See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight, Heads turning as the lights flashing out it's so bright. Then walk right out to the four-line track, There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back. And I sense the rhythm humming in a frenzy all the way down her spine.Girls on film; Girls on film."

"You own the money, You control the witness. I'll leave you lonely, Don't monkey with my business. You pay the prophets to justify your reasons. I heard your promise, but I don't believe it. That's why I've done it again.No-No-Notorious."

"Telegram force and ready, I knew this was a big mistake. There's a fine line drawing My senses together And I think it's about to break.If I listen close I can hear them singers, Voices in your body coming through on the radio.The Union of the Snake is on the climb. Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break Through the borderline."

"Came in from a rainy Thursday On the avenue. Thought I heard you talking softly I turned on the lights, the TV And the radio. Still I can't escape the ghost of you.What has happened to it all? Crazy, some'd say Where is the life that I recognize? Gone away.But I won't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world, I will learn to survive."

"You saw me standing by the wall, Corner of a main street And the lights are flashing on your window sill. All alone ain't much fun, So you're looking for the thrill. And you know just what it takes And where to go.Don't say a prayer for me now, Save it 'til the morning after. No, don't say a prayer for me now, Save it 'til the morning after."

"Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise, Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice. With a step to your left and a flick to the right, You catch that mirror way out west. You know you're something special And you look like you're the best.Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand, Just like that river twisting through a dusty land. And when she shines she really shows you all she can. Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande."

"Oh, why don't you use it? Try not to bruise it. Buy time, don't lose it. Oh, why don't you use it? Try not to bruise it. Buy time, don't lose it.The reflex is a lonely child, who's waiting by the park. The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre? And every little thing the reflex does Leaves you answered with a question mark."

"I light my torch and wave it for the New moon on Monday And a firedance through the night. I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite."

"Meeting you with a view to a kill. Face to face in secret places, feel the chill.Nightfall covers me, but you know the plans I'm making. Still overseas, could it be the whole Earth opening wide? A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside. A week is why, until we...Dance into the fire. That fatal kiss is all we need. Dance into the fire. To fatal sounds of broken dreams. Dance into the fire. That fatal kiss is all we need. Dance into the fire."

"Please, please tell me now. Is there something I should know? Is there something I should say That would make you come my way? Do you feel the same? 'Cause you don't let it show."

"Tell those stories to me I'm dying to hear. The things you've done and seen, Farfetched as they may be. You strike a smile in me, Your stories ring of perjury, Construed with self empowering theme."

"I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds, But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside. Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out, Find nothin' but faith in nothin'. Want to put my tender Heart in a blender, Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion. Rendezvous, then I'm through with you."

"So-Cal is where my mind states, But it's not my state of mind. I'm not as ugly, sad as you. Or am I origami, folded up and just pretend? Demented as the motives in your head."

"So break the bruised monogamy And let him fade to memory And your erotic, wet atomic eyes keep reoccurring. In my mind, do me a favor please and touch your lips to mine. The telephone, doesn't scare me any more. You're home, and I am here alone, my dear. Always stupidly sarcastic, my hyper-spastic, Superhero girl."

"One thousand faces all look the same; They're all so boring mild and tame. Contaminate him, knock off his glasses, Teach him to tamper with the cloning process. Pardon me sir can I ask you a favor? Make me a cowboy like my next door neighbor. Pardon me sir can I use your eraser To remove my brain of unconventional nature? Take my tongue, It's cocked and loaded. The board has dubbed you "special student". Sit alone sweat in silence. We don't tolerate defiance."

"I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind. I promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine. I promise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eye. I promise not to try not to let you down."

"'Cause I tried to forgive you For the shit you put me through. But it's just the hardest thing to do. So I guess it's goodbye brother. Goodbye rock and roll. Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know. It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting. I will see you on the other side of the curtain."

"Down to the corner to call collect, Your mother wants to know, "Are you happy yet?" Waiting for someone to come along and find you. Going on a night looking for distraction. Sleeping through the day, there's no redemption. Waiting for someone to come along and find you. At least you're breathin', At least you're alive, As long as you're dreamin', Everything's gonna be alright. See everything's gonna be alright..."

"No, I don't believe you went to bed at 10:15. Victoria, you're tearin' me up. You said you'd call, I waited up. I don't know why I even try, I need another tequila. She goes out, lets her hair down, bumps up. I'm all alone. She's groovin' to a Coldplay dance mix turned up. I'm all alone."

"In the throes of young love, Leroy Didn't think to think and in the blink of an eye Tied the knot not knowing how to know. He was the prodigal son; this girl had brought him home."

"So denied, so I lied. Are you the now or never kind? In a day and a day love, I'm gonna be gone for good again. Are you willing to be had? Are you cool with just tonight? Here's a toast to all those Who hear me all too well. Here's to the nights we felt alive. Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry. Here's to goodbye. Tomorrow's gonna come too soon."

"When all is said and done And dead, does he love you The way that I do? Breathing in lighting, Tonight's for fighting. I feel the hurt so physical. Think twice before you touch my girl. Come around I'll let you feel the burn."

"Popcorn, hot dog buns, and hamburger patties: All the food you need to feed the many hungry. Millions of people want in to my party, But it's invite only. And you're on the list baby."

"Had to have high, high hopes for a living, Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing. Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision, Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes). Had to have high, high hopes for a living, Didn't know how but I always had a feeling I was gonna be that one in a million. Always had high, high hopes."

"Are you ready for the sequel? Ain't ready for the latest? In the garden of evil, I'm gonna be the greatest. In a golden cathedral, I'll be praying for the faithless. And if you lose, boo-hoo.Hey look ma, I made it. Hey look ma, I made it. Everything's comin' up aces, aces. If it’s a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me. I said, “Hey look ma, I made it.”"

"Mama said, fulfill the prophecy, Be something greater, go make a legacy. Manifest destiny, back in the days We wanted everything, wanted everything. Mama said, burn your biographies, Rewrite your history, light up your wildest dreams. Museum victories, every day We wanted everything, wanted everything.Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated. All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting."

"What a beautiful wedding, what a beautiful wedding Says a bridesmaid to a waiter And yes, but what a shame What a shame The poor groom's bride is a whore. I chime in with, haven't you people ever heard of Closing the god damn door?"

"It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality."

"He's come a long way in life; He's got a long way to go. He don't even know, he don't care because He's growing up the hard way. In and out of trouble every day, Growing up the hard way. Now no telling where you'll end up, boy."

"In my life there's been heartache and pain. I don't know if I can face it again. Can't stop now, I've traveled so far, To change this lonely life.I want to know what love is; I want you to show me. I want to feel what love is; I know you can show me."

"Some people stay all alone and hide, They don't even want to know the reason why. They've given up on finding someone new. But new love comes, it's going to come for you. When true love comes, it's going to comfort you."

"I thought I knew you well, But all this time I could never tell. I let you get away, Haunts me every night and every day. You were the only one, The only friend that I counted on. How could I watch you walk away? I'd give anything to have you here today. But now I stand alone with my pride, And dream that you're still by my side.But that was yesterday. I had the world in my hands. But it's not the end of my world, Just a slight change of plans."

"You're not shy, you get around; You want to fly, don't want your feet on the ground. You stay up, you won't come down; You want to live, you want to move to the sound."

"I got to take a little time, A little time to think things over. I better read between the lines, In case I need it when I'm older. Now this mountain I must climb Feels like a world upon my shoulders. I through the clouds I see love shine, It keeps me warm as life grows colder."

"Say you will, say you won't Make up your mind tonight. Say you do, say you don't Want to be mine."

"Standing in the rain, with his head hung low, Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show. Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene, Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream. He heard one guitar, just blew him away. He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store. Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure That one guitar felt good in his hands, Didn't take long to understand. Just one guitar, slung way down low Was one way ticket, only one way to go.So he started rocking, He is never going to stop; Got to keep on rocking, Someday he's going to make it to the top.And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes. He's a juke box hero. He took one guitar, juke box hero, stars in his eyes. Juke box hero, he'll come alive tonight."

"Daylight, alright I don't know, I don't know if it's real. Been a long night and something isn't right. You won't show, you won't show how you feel. No time ever seems right To talk about the reasons why you and I fight. It's high time to draw the line, Put an end to this game before it's too late.Head games, it's you and me baby. Head games, and I can't take it anymore. Head games, I don't want to play the Head games."

"Made myself a prisoner, I locked myself away. Can't remember the last time I saw the light of day. Don't want to face life, Feel I've been betrayed. I want you tell me Where our love went astray."

"Never do more than I, I really need. My mind is racing, but my body's in the lead. Tonight's the night, I'm gonna push it to the limit, I live all of my years in a single minute."

"You're as cold as ice; You're willing to sacrifice our love. You never take advice; Some day, you'll pay the price I know.I've seen it before, it happens all the time, You're closing the door, you leave the world behind. You're digging for gold, yet throwing away A fortune in feelings but someday you'll pay."

"I was inside looking outside The millions of faces But still I'm alone. Waiting, hours of waiting, Paying a penance, I was longing for home.I'm looking out for the two of us; I hope we'll be here when they're through with us."

"Hey, baby, if you're feeling down, I know what's good for you all day. Are you worried what your friends see? Will it ruin your reputation loving me?Because I'm a dirty white boy. Yeah a dirty white boy. A dirty white boy."

"So long, I've been looking too hard, I've waiting too long. Sometimes I don't know what I will find. I only know it's a matter of time. When you love someone, When you love someone, It feels so right, so warm and true. I need to know if you feel it too. Maybe I'm wrong, Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong? This heart of mine has been hurt before, This time I want to be sure."

"I find myself in a strange situation And I don't know how. What seemed to be an infatuation Is so different now. I can't get by if we're not together. Ooh can't you see? Girl, I want you now and forever Close to me."

"Well, I'm hot blooded, check it and see. I got a fever of a hundred and three. Come on baby, do you do more than dance? I'm hot blooded, I'm hot bloodedYou don't have to read my mind, to know what I have in mind. Honey you ought to know. Now you move so fine, let me lay it on the line: I want to know what you're doing after the show. Now it's up to you, we can make a secret rendezvous. Just me and you, I'll show you loving like you never knew."

"Feeling down 'n' dirty, feeling kinda mean; I've been from one to another extreme. This time I had a good time, ain't got time to wait, I wanna stick around 'till I can't see straight.Fill my eyes with that double vision. No disguise for that double vision. Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me. My double vision gets the best of me."

"You make me nervous because the line's engaged, I can't believe we let it get to this stage. Sitting here waiting for you to give me a sign, You know I got my heart on the line."

"I would climb any mountain, Sail across a stormy sea, If that's what it takes me, baby To show you how much you mean to me. And I guess it's just the woman in you That brings out the man in me. I know I can't help myself, You're all in the world to me.It feels like the first time; Feels like the very first time."
