Sittin’ up here watching all the lights blink down below  
The Earth is turning, why does it go so slow?  
Thinkin’ about the girl I left behind  
Houston can you hear me, or have I lost my mind…Why me?  
Why me?

I was waiting on the pad, all systems were go  
The man up in the tower was enjoying the show  
Then I got this feeling that I’d never had before  
Hey, let me out of here, what am I here for…Why me?  
Why me?

There must be a thousand other guys  
Must be some other way to look good in your eyes  
Why am I up here, what do they see in me?  
Must be one thousand other places to be…Why me?

Say again, Tower, the spacers demand  
Say again, Tower, we don’t understand  
Gander your phrasebook and try it again  
And please eighty-six on the slang on this band

What is this song all about?  
Can’t figure any lyrics out  
How do the words to it go?  
I wish you’d tell me, I don’t know  
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, oh no  
Dnn’t know, don’t know, don’t know

Now I’m mumblin’ and I’m screamin’  
And I don’t know what I’m singin’  
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin’  
I still don’t know what I’m singin’  
We’re so loud and incoherent  
Boy this oughtta bug your parents  
Yeah

It’s un-in-tel-ligible  
I just can’t get it through my skull  
It’s hard to bargle nawdle zouss(?)  
With all these marbles in my mouth  
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, oh no  
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know…

People look to me and say  
Is the end near, when is the final day?  
What’s the future of mankind?  
How do I know, I got left behind

Everyone goes through changes  
Looking to find the truth  
Don’t look at me for answers  
Don’t ask me, I don’t know

How am I supposed to know  
Hidden meanings that will never show  
Fools and prophets from the past  
Life’s a stage and we’re all in the cast

You gotta believe in someone  
Asking me who is right  
Asking me who to follow  
Don’t ask me, I don’t know  
I don’t know

</div>

You can say the human heart  
Is only make-believe  
And I am only fighting fire with fire  
But you are still a victim  
Of the accidents you leave  
As sure as I’m a victim of desire

All the servants in your new hotel  
Throw their roses at your feet  
Fool them all but baby I can tell  
You’re no stranger to the street  
Don’t ask for favors  
Don’t talk to strangers  
Don’t ask me why

Yesterday you were an only child  
Now your ghosts have gone away  
You can kill them in the classic style  
Now you “parlez-vous francais”  
Don’t look for answers  
You took your chances  
Don’t ask me why  
Don’t ask me why

</div>

Do unto others as they’ve done unto you  
But what the hell is this world coming to?

Blow the universe into nothingness  
Nuclear Warfare shall lay us to rest

Fight fire with fire  
Ending is near  
Fight fire with fire  
Bursting with fear  
**WE ALL SHALL DIE!!!**

Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast  
Armageddon’s here, like said in the past

Fight fire with fire  
Ending is near  
Fight fire with fire  
Bursting with fear…

It glittered and it gleamed  
For the arriving beauty queen  
A ring and a car  
Now you’re the prettiest by far

No party she’d not attend  
No invitation she wouldn’t send  
Transfixed by the inner sound  
Of your promise to be found

“Nothing or no-one will ever  
Make me let you down”

Kiss them for me, I may be delayed  
Kiss them for me, if I am delayed

I’m taking a ride with my best friend  
I hope he never lets me down again  
He knows where he’s taking me  
Taking me where I want to be  
I’m taking a ride with my best friend

We’re flying high  
We’re watching the world pass us by  
Never want to come down  
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground

I’m taking a ride with my best friend  
I hope he never lets me down again  
Promises me I’m safe as houses  
As long as I remember who’s wearing the trousers  
I hope he never lets me down again

See the stars, they’re shining bright  
Everything’s alright tonight

</div>

We’re walking in the air, we’re floating in a moonlit sky  
The people far below are sleeping as we fly  
I’m holding very tight, I’m riding in the midnight blue  
I’m finding I can fly, so high above with you

Far across the world, the villages go by like trees  
The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams

Children gaze open mouth, taken by surprise  
Nobody down below believes their eyes

We’re surfing in the air, we’re swimming in the frozen sky  
We’re drifting over ice, see mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep  
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep

We’re walking in the air, we’re floating in a midnight sky  
And everyone who sees us, greets us as we fly  
I’m holding very, holding very tight, I’m riding in a midnight blue  
I’m finding I can fly, so high above with you

Somewhere there’s music  
How faint the tune  
Somewhere there’s heaven  
How high the moon  
The darkest night would shine  
If you would come to me soon  
Until you will, how still my heart  
How high the moon

Screams break the silence  
Waking from the dead of night  
Vengence is boiling  
He’s returned to kill the light  
Then when he’s found who he’s looking for  
Listen in awe and you’ll hear him

Bark at the moon  
Ha ha ha ha ha…

Years spent in torment  
Buried in a nameless grave  
Now he has risen  
Miracles would have to save  
Those that the beast is looking for  
Listen in awe and you’ll hear him

Bark at the moon  
Hey yeah, bark at the moon

I’ll never let you tie me down  
To be a dog just barking on a chain  
Jerk me back to reality  
Whenever I dare to dream  
So let me curl my lips  
Let me howl at the moon  
Been looking down on me long enough  
But my day’s coming soon

No thanks to you

At night when the stars light up my room  
I sit by myself talking to the moon.  
Trying to get to you  
In hopes you’re on the other side talking to me too.  
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?

I tell it to the moon  
Scream it to the stars in the sky

Seeing you always reminds me  
Got a secret that I keep  
Got a keep it inside me  
I watch from a distance  
Loving you silently  
You never hear me

So I tell it to the moon  
Scream it to the stars in the sky  
Share it with the wind  
Try to keep it in  
But it’s so hard sometimes  
So I yell it to the night  
I don’t know what else I can do  
I can’t tell it to you  
So I tell it to the moon  
Tell it to the moon

Late at night when no one can hear me  
I reveal the way I feel pretending you’re near me  
You’ve got somebody  
There’s nothing I can do  
Can’t tell you I love you  
So I…

Tell it to the moon  
Scream it to the stars in the sky  
Share it with the wind  
Try to keep it in  
But it’s so hard sometimes  
So I yell it to the night  
I don’t know what else I can do  
I can’t tell it to you  
So I tell it to the moon  
Tell it to the moon

Some night  
I’ll come right out and tell you  
Some night  
I’ll say the words I love you  
Some night  
But tonight  
I’ll tell it to the moon

Where are you going, my little one, little one,  
Where are you going, my baby, my own?  
Turn around and you’re two,  
Turn around and you’re four,  
Turn around and you’re a young girl going out of my door.  
Turn around, turn around,  
Turn around and you’re a young girl going out of my door.

Where are you going, my little one, little one,  
Little dirndls and petticoats, where have you gone?2  
Turn around and you’re tiny,  
Turn around and you’re grown,  
Turn around and you’re a young wife with babes of your own.  
Turn around, turn around,  
Turn around and you’re a young wife with babes of your own.

(Turn around)  
Every now and then  
I get a little bit lonely  
And you’re never coming round

(Turn around)  
Every now and then  
I get a little bit tired  
Of listening to the sound of my tears

(Turn around)  
Every now and then  
I get a little bit nervous  
That the best of all the years have gone by

(Turn around)  
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified  
And then I see the look in your eyes  
(Turn Around, bright eyes)  
Every now and then I fall apart  
(Turn Around, bright eyes)  
Every now and then  
I fall apart

(Turn around)  
Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild  
(Turn around)  
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I’m lying like a child in your arms  
(Turn around)  
Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I’ve got to get out and cry  
(Turn around)  
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified  
But then I see the look in your eyes  
(Turn Around, bright eyes)  
Every now and then I fall apart  
(Turn around, bright eyes)  
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight  
And I need you more than ever  
And if you only hold me tight  
We’ll be holding on forever  
And we’ll only be making it right  
'Cause we’ll never be wrong  
Together we can take it to the end of the line  
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)  
I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark  
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks  
I really need you tonight (Forever’s gonna start tonight)  
Forever’s gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love  
But now I’m only falling apart  
There’s nothing I can do  
A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life  
But now there’s only love in the dark  
Nothing I can say  
A total eclipse of the heart  
[Love ya, Jim Steinman…but goddamn, you’re a wordy motherfucker!]
