She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory 'bout the bitter one
They're saying "Mamma never loved her much"
And "Daddy never keeps in touch, that's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bag for outerspace
And now shes waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him:
CHORUS
Now we're flying to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world we don't belong
So would you be my baby?
Oooh Ooh
She can remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was colourblind.
All her friends had been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying" Loves like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith
is like a journey I just don't have a map for."
So baby's gonna take a dive, put shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream...
CHORUS
"Mamma never loved her much"
And "Daddy never keeps in touch, that's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bag for outerspace
And now shes waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him:
CHORUS
fade to end.
The moonlight...
Shines down interstellar beams
And the grove tonight is something more than you've ever seen
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late.
CHORUS
In the moonlioght
Carry on, Keep Romancing
Carry on, Carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, Keep Romancing
Carry on, Carry on dancing
You're never safe till you see the dawn,
And if the clock strikes past midnight
The hope is gone
To move under...
CHORUS
Move. Closer. Passion. Stronger.
There's a magic only two can tell
In the dark night
Ultra Violet is a wicked spell.
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late.
CHORUS
Moving on... Moving all night.
And we stare each other down
like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it.
Oh we do it.
Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...
These tears of pearls.
CHORUS
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
Your kisses are like pearls
so different and so rare.
But anger stole the jewels away
and love has left you bare,
Made you cry...
these tears of pearls
Well I could be the tired joker
pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win
Maybe cry...
these tears of pearls
CHORUS
We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
that once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death...
The death of you
CHORUS
Any time I need to see your face
I just close my eyes
and I am taken to a place where your crystal mind
and magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry-cola
I don't need to try and explain
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again
I might move so slightly to the arms and the lips and the face
of the face of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to
Come stand a little bit closerBreathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you.
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you
But Ooh I'd die to find out.
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you
But Ooh I'd die to find out.
I'm the kind of person who endorses
a deep commitment
Getting comfy, getting perfect
is what I live for
But a look, then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor
And I don't know what I'm in for.
Conversation has a time and a space
in the interaction of a lover and a mate
But the time of talking,
using symbols using words
can be likened to a
deep sea diver
who is swimming with a raincoat.
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you.
CHORUS
Any time I need to see your face
I just close my eyes
and I am taken to a place where your crystal mind
and magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry-cola
I don't need to try and explain
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again
I might move so slightly to the arms and the lips and the face
of the face of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you.
CHORUS x2
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you
But Ooh I'd die to find out.
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you
But Ooh I'd die to find out. (So can we find out)
I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath, truly madly deeply do.
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeh.
CHORUS
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lasy like this forever, until the sky falls down on me.
And when the stars are shining
brightly in the velvet sky.
I'll make a wish and send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we've surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest powers in lonely hours,the tears devour you
CHORUS
Oh can you see it baby, you don't have to close your eyes,
cause it's standing right before you
All that you need will surely come.
I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath, truly madly deeply do.
CHORUS
(door knocks, enters party)
If there's a way that you could be
everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it all came too easy?
Just like the games with you and me.
A resolution hard to see.
But that's okay 'cause I don't see things that are plain to see.
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world.
And that's no lie
You want to give ecstasy
together with certainty
But you're afraid that the pleasure won't be needed
In a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies.
If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world.
And that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
to the disco inside your head.
(violet)
wear a colour that you want to cling to
The colour inside your head(violet)
Contemplate jealously intermixed with urgency
A million things take a damned good shot at you and me.
If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world.
And that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
to the disco inside your head.
(violet)
wear a colour that you want to cling to
The colour inside your head(violet)
I'm gonna take you,
I'll do my best to break
I'm gonna take you higher
And that's no lie
Common sense is a game many people don't like to play
But give it in and the moment takes you either way.
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world.
And that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
to the disco inside your head.
(violet)
wear a colour that you want to cling to
The colour inside you head(violet)
If there's a way that you could be
everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it all came too easy?
In a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies.
Well you know every time I look
at that expression printed on the page,
I think I hear you
Whispering the maguic and the
compliments I need so badly
So baby come on
so baby come on
now i've been runniong circles riound the though
that you'd find me baby
someday maybe
But all the psychic powers I've been sending your way
CHORUS
So can't you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me
I wan t your face yeah all around me
I want your perfume all around me
I like the way you move and do the funky groove.
All around me I want you
All around me I need you x2
CHORUS
Like a good chardonnay,
chilled for a day
You're smooth and crisp and on display
Like cartier, Armani, like TAG, Gucci, Versace.
In the middle of the night you're a kiss so long
the only good thing when all is wrong.
You;'re a magic time reversal clock,
you're the fries on the side with a cherry on top.
You're sleek, velvet gold lame.
Patent leather, enchante.
You're a legend you're a glamour queen.
God I'm running out of words but you know what I mean.
All around me I want you
All around me I need you x2
CHORUS x2
So slide into your Jaguar, or
Porsche baby, there you are.
Well chop,chop darling, au revoir.
Well I'd like to take you as I find you
Imagine our clothes are on the floor
Feel my caress soft and gentle
So delicate you try for more
But you know baby
You know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right
CHORUS
Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know
so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much,
and now that's it's over
You don't know what you want
Put time in a capsule
Two minds consensual
Entwinde to perfection
If we could...
Cuddle up close
Lay on my chest now
Listen to our heart-beats coming down
If you get tired you close your eyes now
When you wake up I won't be found
'Cause I know baby
I know you're the nervous kind
With so much going on in your mind
CHORUS
But let me tell you that, this time,
I'm gonna make you mine
(I won't let go)
Cause I know this time
I'm gonna make sure I look out for me.
'Cause you know baby
Well you know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right
You will only end up lost in loneliness
And wake up with the words already on your lips
So I'll let you go, baby
So I'll let you go...
CHORUS
We stumbled in a tangled web,
decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid,
all hopes of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes
So take all this noise into your brain
and send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud
CHORUS
You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me
more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you
any more.
Time manipulates your heart
preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract convictions read
So take all this noise into your brain
and send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud
CHORUS
I'll say the words out loud.
I'll say a thousand words or more.
Manipulation, Farbrication.
Conversion, Annihilation
I'll say a thousand words or more.
CHORUS
I never thought I'd change my opinion again
But you moved me in a way that I've never known.
You moved me in a way that I've never known.
But straight away you just moved into position again
You abused me in a way that I've never known x2
CHORUS
So break me! shake me! hate me! take me over.
When the madness stops then you will be alone.
So break me! shake me! hate me! take me over.
When the madness stops then you will be alone.
You're the kind who deals with the games in the mind
Well you confuse me in a way that I've never known x2
CHORUS
She says, "I can help you, but what do you say?"
But it's not free baby, you'll have to pay
You just keep me contemplating, that your soul is slowly fading
God don't you know I live with a ton of regret?
'Cause I used to move you in a way that you've never known
Then I accused you in a way that you've never known
But you hurt me in a way that I've never known...
CHORUS
Listen baby, you'll be..
You'll be alone.
Break me shake me hate me take me make me
Fake me break me shake me hate me take me
Break me.
I wait in the darkness.
Frozen winds surround my face.
In the cover of darkness I can make believe it's you.
I feel you like the rain, I feel you like a storm cloud building in my heart
I wonder if you know the pain,
to want the one thing you haven't got.
CHORUS
Just a twist in time ...and you
could be mine
Just a sip of wine ...and you
could be mine
Just a kiss devine... ooh ooh
A hand brushes by my love.
A smile fuels a steel inferno
You don't have to die to leave my world.
Stand still and you've departed.
It seems I'm not on your mind and I'm just wasting my time.
I'm just a fool to believe.
In the death of night can you feel me inside?
I wish that you could concieve...
CHORUS
...and you could be mine
Won't you leave me in the darkness.
Take away the pride, all the dignity that's buried inside.
Can't you see I'm standing naked?
I'll bear all the crosses and the crucifixes you can provide.
If you could decide.
CHORUS
...and you could be mine
In Santa Monica, In the winter time,
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica,
you get your coffee from the coolest places
on the Promenade
Where people dress just so.
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere it's there.
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
CHORUS
But on the telephone line
I am anyone
I am anything I want to be...
I could be a supermodel or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
In Santa Monica, all the people got modern names
like Jake or Mandy,
And modern bodies too.
In Santa Monica on the boulevard,
you have to dodge those inline skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this...
CHORUS
But on the telephone line
I am any height
I am any age I want to be...
I could be a caped crusader or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
CHORUS
But on the telephone line
I am any height
I am any age I want to be...
I could be a caped crusader or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
