This Is Your Life

 

 

E.S.P

Dark is the night

High is the fire

Touches the sky

Love with no shape or form

I am in your mind's eye

Just let your dreams run wild

 

Somewhere, out across the nation

Someone, waiting in the shadows

Listen, I don't wanna hear

Return to, sender

Calling, I can see the future

Someday, signal with a single motion

Show me you believe in someone, somewhere

 

Oh baby you, you give, me

You give me the runaround

Just another night, with, you

You're on my mind

And we got love

And love'll take you higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher

 

(CHORUS)

E.S.P

I communicate with you

Tell me what it means to feel

What am I supposed to do

E.S.P

Nothing any words can say

Nothing that we know is real

But it'll take your breath away

Your breath away

 

Danger, suddenly an early warning

Suddenly the soul is burning

But I still believe in someone, somewhere

 

Baby you, give, me

You give me the runaround

Just another night with you

I'm in your mind

And we got love

And love'll take you higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher

 

E.S.P

I communicate with you

Tell me what it means to feel

What am I supposed to do

E.S.P

And love'll take you higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher

 

Be prepared to make your sacrifice, tonight

Far beyond the point of no return, oh no

 

And we got love

And love'll take you higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher, higher and higher

 

(Repeat Chorus)

 

 

You Win Again

I couldn't figure why

You couldn't give me what everybody needs

I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down

My baby

I find out everybody know that

You've been using me

I'm surprised you

Let me stay around you

One day I'm gonna lift the cover

And look inside your heart

We gotta level before we go

And tear this love apart

 

(CHORUS)

There's no fight you can't fight

This battle of love with me

You win again

So little time

We do nothing but compete

There's no life on earth

No other could see me through

You win again

Some never try

But if anybody can, we can

And I'll be, I'll be

Following you

 

Oh baby I shake you from now on

I'm gonna break down your defenses

One by one

I'm gonna hit you from all sides

Lay your fortress open wide

Nobody stops this body from

Taking you

 

You better beware, I swear

I'm gonna be there one day when you fall

I could never let you cast aside

The greatest love of all

 

(Repeat Chorus)

 

 

Live Or Die (Hold Me Like A Child)

Take one breath

One fundamental sign of life

Don't look back, don't analyze

The tears that you cry

Only the strong survive

The silent sacrifice

And I, I will be your heart of steel

But power has a price

 

Ain't it time that you believe in someone

Ain't it wrong to let the years go by

Standing face to face forever

Live or die

 

(CHORUS)

Hold me like a child

I'm not alive until you do

What you hold in your hand is a miracle

And it's dead if I don't have you

Hold me like a child

Swear you never let go

You're the eye of the storm

The reason I laugh or cry

Live or die

I will stay with you

 

Take one breath

One fundamental sign of life

No bad blood

No pain can make you draw the knife

We got a world of trouble

But I will never change

And even if we fall tomorrow

We will rise again

 

Now is the time we show each other

These are the words I kept inside

Standing face to face forever

Live of die

 

(CHORUS)

 

Live or die

I will stay, with you

 

Take one breath

One fundamental sign of life

Don't look back

We love each other live or die

Hold me like a child

I'm not alive until you do

Live or die

I will stay with you

Take one breath

One fundamental sign of life

Don't look back

We love each other live or die

Hold me like a child

 

 

Giving Up The Ghost

There's a young girl lost

On the edge of town

Don't see no future, it's blind

Don't give up

When you're upside down

You just keep it inside...

 

You know we all cry...

When we're alone

Someone like you

And the promise that we won't be

 

Giving up the ghost

Giving up the ghost

Never you and I

Giving up the ghost

 

Giving up the ghost

We can never stop

Giving up the ghost

 

Don't be a hero

In the name of love

Don't leave me waiting in line

No ties that bind

No ball and chain

The ghost is waiting outside

 

I'm searching so high

I'm searching low

Someone like you

Baby I'm not...

 

Giving up the ghost

Giving up the ghost

Never you and I

Giving up the ghost

 

Giving up the ghost

We can never stop

Giving up the ghost

 

You know we all cry

When we are alone

Someone like you

We know oh,

I'm searching so high

I'm searching low

Someone like you

We know oh, oh, oh

 

Giving up the ghost

Giving up the ghost

Never you and I

Giving up the ghost

 

 

The Longest Night

You know a love so fine

So high above

Goes on forever but the road is rough

Reaching for another

As truth will show

Try to live without it

But you can't let go

 

We don't talk about it

We got no doubt

We can love each other when the lights go out

I got nobody, my bird has flown

Anyone can see I'm walking alone

Walking alone

 

(CHORUS)

In your quiet moments

In your silent prayer

I'll be with you baby

I'll be there

In your darkest hour

On your longest night

I'll be with you baby

Make it right

On your longest night

 

You know it breaks my heart

And it hurts my pride

To know I lost you to the world outside

Feeling when you touch me

They rise and fall

Try to live without it

Ain't no love at all

 

We don't talk about it

But somebody knows

We can love each other

When the candle glows

Open my eyes

And the moment is gone

Anyone can see

I'm walking alone

Walking alone

 

In your darkest hour

On your longest night

I'll be with you baby

Make it right

 

Nobody cries

Nobody cries, cries

For the pain I feel

Nobody knows, nobody knows

And it makes me wanna die

 

(Repeat Chorus)

 

 

This Is Your Life

Something that I hunger for

Something you deny

You say I'm bad for you

And baby so do I

Don't you know that all you gotta do

You could be a lover

And baby this is

 

This is your life

Don't break it

It's who you do it for

It's the pain and pleasure

This is your life

Temptation

A victim of the law

We can talk about it

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This is your life

This is your life

 

If you try to help someone

You get the evil eye

You say you suffocate

Well baby so do I

Don't you know that all you gotta do

You could be a lover

And baby this is

 

This is your life

Don't hide it

Don't try to mystify

How soft the flesh is

This is your life

Get even, even if you die

Don't run for cover

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This is your life

Temptation

That's who you do it for

It's the pain and the pleasure

This is your life

Temptation

A victim of the law

We can talk about it

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This is your life

 

Define ourselves

As something in space

Not enough for everyone

Everyone and as we speak

The enemy is the mind

I see the future coming for you

All the lonely days and the lonely nights

You've been searching for a love so right

It's a tragedy just stayin' alive

Stayin' alive

And all that

 

Jive talking

What you doing on your back

Jive talking

More rap less crap

Times are bad, money is tight

Ain't too much heaven on

A Saturday night

Tell me now how deep is your love

The heart is soft

But the brain is tough

 

The enemy is the mind

Don't let the future fall apart

This is my world too, just run to me

If you ever wanna mend that broken heart

I have seen those nights on Broadway too

Blaming it all

What about you

This is your life

 

This is your life

Don't hide it

Don't try to mystify

How soft the flesh is

This is your life

It's who you do it for

It's the pain and pleasure

This is your life

Temptation

This is your life

 

 

Angela

Angela, I'm still alive

Angela, I'm still alive

The sun and the sea

The darkness in the way

All the pain don't get no better

It gets stronger every day

 

It happens to be true

That I still pray to you my love

Voices in the night, don't help

My searching for the truth, my love

 

And when I'm lost

And high above the storm

I hear your name

I'm empty inside, I'm empty inside

And where are you

 

Angela, I'm still alive

For the two of us

I'm still alive

You've got to imagine us

All the world was on our side

We had the power of the universe

And we were ready

We were ready for the ride

 

Moonlight in her hair

Her eyes the wonder of the age

But all I mean to you my love

Is just a spotlight on an empty stage

 

And through it all

One fire in the rain

Keeps burning on, keeps burning on

I can't stop my heart

It's beating for you

Reaching for you

But you are gone

I'm empty inside, I'm empty inside

And where are you

 

Angela, I'm still alive

For the two of us

I'm still alive

Angela, I'm still alive

Angela, I'm still alive

Angela, I'm still alive

 

 

Overnight

They say a fool never learns

You agree I'm not superstitious

You know unlucky as I've been

I'm still around

And you can tell me to go

I've been reading your true confessions

But then you don't believe I'd let

This chance go by I, I...

 

Show me inside

Sorry that I've been so far away

You know I'm only human

It's the call of the wild

It's the law of the jungle

Don't say no...

 

(CHORUS)

Wanna be with you

Won't you stay with me overnight

Give a little bit to you

Won't you stay with me stay

Pulling me to you

Won't you stay with me overnight

It'll be forever if you stay with me

Stay with me, stay...

 

As long as time will allow

You'll be losing your inhibitions

One night is not enough

For all the love to grow

And baby you and I rule the world

Maybe I could be your magician

Just give me long enough

My spell will hypnotize, I, I...

 

Show me inside

Live in every corner of your heart

You know I'm only human

It's the call of the wild

It's the law of the jungle

Don't say no...

 

(CHORUS)

 

Stay with me overnight

Stay

Stay with me overnight

Stay

Stay with me overnight

Stay

Stay with me stay...

Stay with me stay...

Stay with me stay...

Stay with me stay...

 

 

Crazy For Your Love

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Never get enough I'm crazy for your love

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Never get enough I'm crazy

 

Ice cream, couldn't taste any better

Your bad reputation

A mission that you keep to the letter

A state of love, can drive us all insane

Why a man can stand for so much pain

But I stand

You know the time is right

I feel my knees start shaking

And I can't stop running

 

You don't know but the word is out

I go crazy for your love

I breakdown to the ground, and I gotta shout

I go crazy for your love

I go crazy when you touch me, and I'm over the top

Don't wanna fight it and I'm giving up

Lips all ready to burn

Don't need a doctor

Nobody can save me

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Never get enough I'm crazy for your love

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Never get enough I'm crazy

I know, I know

I know, oh, oh, oh, oh

 

I can't sleep, can't sleep

I turn the television on

It's your face that I see on the screen

Replacing all the other ones

I'm so blind, that every girl I see

Reminds me that I need to be

In your arms

The place is here and now

The brain is past controlling and

The soul is crying

 

You don't know but the word is out

I go crazy for your love

I breakdown to the ground, and I gotta shout

I go crazy for your love

I go crazy for your fingers up and down my spine

Come a little closer baby, you will find

Lips all ready to burn

Don't need a doctor when I'm almost dying

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Never get enough I'm crazy for your love

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Never get enough I'm crazy

 

Lips all ready to burn

Don't need a doctor, when I'm almost dying

Gotta keep trying

You don't know but you're number 1

I go crazy for your love

You give me feelings that I

Couldn't get from anyone

I go crazy for your love...

 

 

Backtafunk

You're gonna fix my heart

You're gonna free my soul

Not many learn what

The two of us can do

Or what we do it for

Sign my name

I'm gonna join your club

You give me love and there's

Two of us to feel

Just say the word

And I'm giving my love to you

 

(CHORUS)

You got me backtafunk

And I'm still turning

Got me backtafunk

And I'm still turning

I can't explain, no alibi

The rhythm got me paralyzed

You got me

 

You call it deja vu

Of being there before

So many lose what

The few of us can find

And never mention

You're gonna break my will

You're gonna take me down

So many pay

When the two of us can steal

So give what I want

And I could be a king for you

 

You got me

Backtafunk

And I'm still turning

Got me backtafunk

And I'm still turning

You got me backtafunk

I was so disorganized

Rhythm cut me down to size

You got me

 

Help me I'm in trouble deep

High as I can go

It's no crime

There may be love on the street

And I'm bad enough

You got me drowning in my sleep

But I will find you when I wake

And it's time

You got me backtafunk

 

Backtafunk to back

Backtafunk

Backtafunk to back

Backtafunk

Backtafunk to back

Backtafunk

Oh, oh I'm still turning

Backtafunk

Oh, oh I'm still burning

Backtafunk

Oh, oh I'm still learning

(Repeat through fade)

 

 

 

E.S.P (Vocal Reprise)

Dark is the night

High is the fire

Touches the sky

Love with no shape or form

I am in your mind's eye

Just let your dreams run wildš
