when superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
and television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away so take my hand now
'cause I want to live (like animals)
careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
with the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
I don't have any difficulties keeping to myself
feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
which one is more human, there's a thought
now you decide
compassion in the jungle
compassion in your hands, yeah
would you like to make a run for it
would you like to take my hand, yeah yeah
'cause I want to live (like animals)
careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
with the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
sometimes this life can get you down
it's so confusing, there's so many rules to follow
and I feel it
and I just run away in my mind
when superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
which one is more human, there's a thought
now you decide
compassion in the jungle
compassion in your hands, yeah
would you like to make a run for it
would you like to take my hand, yeah yeah
'cause I want to live (like animals)
careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
with the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
'cause I want to live (like animals)
careless and free (like animals)
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
with the wind in my hair yeah yeah
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, "momma 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 bags for outer space
and now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
and she'll say to him
I would fly to the moon & back if you'll be...
if you'll be my baby
got a ticket for a world where we belong
so would you be my baby?
she can't remember a time when she felt needed
if love was red then she was color blind
all her friends they've been tried for treason
and crimes that were never defined
she's saying, "love is 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 and
push the shift to overdrive and
send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars
what a pleasant dream
I would fly to the moon & back if you'll be...
if you'll be my baby
got a ticket for a world where we belong
so would you be my baby?
hold on....hold on....
momma 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 bags for outer space
and now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
and she'll say to him
I would fly to the moon & back if you'll be...
if you'll be my baby
got a ticket for a world where we belong
so would you be my baby?
anytime 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 my 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 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
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, and 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 place
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
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
anytime 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 my 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 human cannonball
that I need to, I want to
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?
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
ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
but, ooh, I'd die to find out
(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 why can't 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, yea
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay 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 send it to heaven
then make you want to cry
the tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
that we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
the highest powers
in lonely hours
the tears devour you
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
until the sky falls down on me
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
(I love you)
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
until the sky falls down on me
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
until the sky falls down on me
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
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
all these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
we twist and turn where angels burn
like fallen soldiers we will learn
that once forgotten, twice removed
love will be the the death...
the death of you
all these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
all these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
well I'd like to take you as I find you
imagine our clothes are on the floor
feel my caress so soft and gentle
so delicate you cry for more
but you know baby
you know baby does it right
and you know baby does it right
universe inside of your heart
you gotta let me know
so you can be free baby
you wanted it so much, and now that it's over
you don't know what you want
put time in a capsule
two minds consensual
entwined to perfection
if we could...
cuddle up close
lay on my chest now
listen my heart beat's 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
universe inside 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
but let me tell you that, this time, (this time)
I'm gonna make you mine
(I won't let you go)
'cause I know, this time, (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
universe inside your heart
you gotta let me know so you can be free baby
you wanted it so much, and now that it's over
you don't know what you want
the moonlight...
shines down interstellar beams
and the groove tonight
is something more than you've ever seen
the stars and planets taking shape
a stolen kiss has come too late
in the moonlight
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 'til you see the dawn
and if the clock strikes past midnight
the hope is gone
to move under...
the moonlight
carry on, keep romancing
carry on, carry on dancing
in the moonlight
carry on, keep romancing
carry on, carry on dancing
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
in the moonlight
carry on, keep romancing
carry on, carry on dancing
in the moonlight
carry on, keep romancing
carry on, carry on dancing
moving on...moving all night...
if there's a way that you could be everything you want to be,
would you complain that it came too easy?
just like the games with you and me
a resolution hard to see,
but that's O.K. '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 delivered 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 int o your world
and that's no lie
let your body move into the doorway
to the disco inside your head (violet)
wear a color that you want to cling to
the color inside your head (violet)
contemplate jealousy 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 color that you want to cling to
the color inside your head (violet)
dance...to the disco
dance...to the disco
dance...to the disco
dance...to the disco
I'm gonna take you
I'll do my best to break you
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 color that you want to cling to
the color inside your head (violet)
let your body move into the doorway
to the disco inside your head (violet)
wear a color that you want to cling to
the color inside your head (violet)
if there's a way that you could be everything you want to be
would you complain that it came to you too easily?
in a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
for a wave that would carry all our fantasies
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
you abused me in a way that I've never known
so break me shake me hate me take me over
when the madness stops then you will be alone
just break me shake me hate me take me over
when the madness stops then you will be alone
so you're the kind who deals with the games in the mind
well you confuse me in a way that I've never known
you confuse me in a way that I've never known
so break me shake me hate me take me over
when the madness stops then you will be alone
so won't you break me shake me hate me take me over
when the madness stops then you will be alone
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
but then I accused you in a way that you've never known
but you hurt me in a way that I've never known...
break me shake me hate me take me over
when the madness stops then you will be alone
so won't you break me shake me hate me take me over
when the madness stops then you will be alone
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
we stumble in a tangled web
decaying friendships almost dead
and hide behind a mask of lies
we twist and turn and we avoid
all hope 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
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 anymore
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
I may perplex, but I'm not blind
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
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 anymore
I'll say the words out loud
I'll say a thousand words or more
manipulation. fabrication.
conversation. annihilation.
I'll say a thousand words or more
damnation. frustration.
elevation. procreation.
I'll say a thousand words or more
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 anymore
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 anymore
well don't you know I need a little indulgence?
listen to the hunter becoming hunted
every day there's a million advances
don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
well don't you know that time is a broken glass
that splinters against the wall?
but the picture is coming back now baby,
and I want to take it all
don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
there's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
so let your body move a little bit closer
silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
don't you know that powerful thinking
can be a force you don't want to relinquish?
well don't you know that,
they say that hanging on will justify the wait?
but patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase
don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
there's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down
I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade
so don't you, don't go make it harder than hell
'cause what comes down to the making
you better be damned sure you can take it
hey baby
well don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
there's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up...
a fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool
oh baby, 'cause I told you baby...
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 you turn
it's there
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
but on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model 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'll have to dodge those in-line 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
but on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or norman mailer
and you wouldn't know the difference
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?
on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
