Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir,
I have tried in my way to be free.
Free me
Inside I’m bleeding can’t you see
Free me
From all this pain and misery.
I am a flame,
But he held the fire,
Call me a fool–don’t call me a liar.
Take me to hell and let me stay,
Can’t you hear me say,
Can’t you hear me say,
Can’t you hear me say…
Free me!
Fly like a song, fly while you’re singing
A song without you is a bird without winging
Some city flights leave in the morning
Some city nights end without warning
Can you hear me call?
Calling to the sky
The thunder drowns my voice within the rain
And I know you’re near me
And I call throughout the storm
I know that you don’t hear me
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
Can you hear me call your name?
Who calls,
When a star falls from above,
Can it be the one I love,
Who calls?
Who calls.
When the sage is silv’ry white,
Is there someone in the night,
Who calls?
Catch a falling star
And put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night
I can’t forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
While stars fell on Alabama
Last night
Love me tender
Love me true
[Sorry DD, temptier openings above you]
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home
Mornie utulie (Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie (Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadow’s call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
A promise lives within you now
The shadow of your smile when you are gone,
Will color all my dreams and light the dawn.
Tonight, Imma fight 'til we see the sunlight.
Tick tock on the clock, but the party don’t stop, no.
It’s gonna be a rock and roll weekend,
Eight o’clock’s when the show begins.
Get on the phone and call all your friends,
Tell 'em it’s gonna be a rock and roll weekend.
Turn up the music
Make it loud and clear
I said to turn up the music
Oh, you know what I wanna hear
Turn up the music
Well, I gotta hear an oldie like, “Johnny B Goode”
You know it gets me in the mood, yeah, I knew it would
This here radio’s got to make it right, yeah
Anybody wanna rock tonight?
I love rock n’ roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n’ roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
I dig Rock and Roll music
I could really get it on in that scene.
I think I could say somethin’ if you know what I mean
But if I really say it, the radio won’t play it
Unless I lay it between the lines
They said it really loud
They said it on the air
On the radio
Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don’t have to play it
But I hope you’ll do your best
I’ve been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me
Or a record of your choice
I don’t mind
I’d be happy just to hear your voice
Saying this is for the girl
Who didn’t sign her name
Yes, she needs a dedication just the same
In the morning they return with tears in their eyes
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A young soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot
Remembers the words, “Thou shalt not kill”
Sky pilot, sky pilot
How high can you fly
You never, never, never reach the sky
Anything you want to try
Just let go
Fly high
I remember,
We were flying low,
And hit something in the air.
We’re walking in the air
We’re floating in the 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
