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 about the bitter one
They're saying, "Mama 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 waiting for the right
kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
I would fly to the moon and 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 colorblind
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
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
I would fly to the moon and 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?
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 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, 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 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
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 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?
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
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 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 here 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 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 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
Once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be 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
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 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
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
But let me tell you that, this time,
I'm gonna make you mine
(I won't let you 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, oh baby
So I'll let you go...
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
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 'till 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
Ultraviolet 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
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 OK '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 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)
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)
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)
If there's a way that you could
be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it 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
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 that 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?"
'Cause 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 that 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've 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 stumbled 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
Well don't you know I need a
little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becoming
hunted
Everyday 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 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 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 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
that hell
'Cause it comes down to the making
You'd better be damned sure you can
take it
Hey baby
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 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 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'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 supermodel 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 would know the difference
Or would you?
