Bye-bye, love;  
Bye-bye, sweet caress.  
Hello, emptiness,  
I feel like I could die.  
Bye-bye my love, goodbye.

Bye-bye Love – _The Everly Brothers_

Please don’t wake me up too late  
Tomorrow comes  
And I can not be late  
Late today when it becomes tomorrow  
I will  
Leave to go away

Goodbye…Goodbye…  
Goodbye, Goodbye, my love, Goodbye

I’ll say goodbye to love  
No one ever cared if I should live or die  
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by  
And all I know of love is how to live without it  
I just can’t seem to find it

You broke the bonds  
And you loosed the chains  
Carried the cross  
Of my shame  
Of my shame  
You know I believe it

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for  
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

</div>

Wish I knew what you were looking for  
Might have known what you would find

And it’s something quite peculiar  
Something that’s shimmering and white  
It leads you here despite your destination  
Under the Milky Way tonight

Life is so strange  
Destination unknown  
When you don’t know  
Your destination  
Something could change  
It’s unknown  
And then you won’t know  
Destination unknown

Love, love is strange  
Lots of people  
Take it for a game  
Once you get it  
You never want to quit, no no  
After you’ve had it  
You’re in an awful fix

It started long ago in the Garden of Eden  
When Adam said to Eve, baby, you’re for me  
So come on baby, let’s start today, come on baby, let’s play  
The game of love, love, la la la la la love  
(Love, love)

We are stardust

Red light, black street, dead man, still people  
I swear that I just heard my number  
Too late, no chance, last breath, cold panic  
Call the ambulance, somebody’s falling  
The devil’s calling  
Hear the hurricane, howling out my name  
Coming now to take me under

Oh no, not now, don’t take me please  
Oh no, let go, not ready to leave  
Somebody help I’m running out of time  
Devil’s gate is opening on me

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn  
World serves its own needs  
Don’t mis-serve your own needs  
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength  
The ladder starts to clatter  
With a fear of height, down, height  
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games  
And a government for hire and a combat site  
Left her, wasn’t coming in a hurry  
With the Furies breathing down your neck

It’s the end of the world as we know it  
It’s the end of the world as we know it  
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

Life is flowing out my body  
Pain is flowing out with my blood  
The sheets are red and moist where I’m lying  
God in Heaven, teach me how to die

I remember  
We were flying along and hit something in the air  
I remember  
We were flying along and hit something in the air

Call out the instigators  
Because there’s something in the air  
We got to get together sooner or later  
Because the revolution’s here  
And you know it’s right  
And you know that it’s right  
We have got to get it together  
We have got to get it together now

It’s been one week since you looked at me  
Cocked your head to the side and said, “I’m angry”  
Five days since you laughed at me  
Saying, “Get that together, come back and see me”  
Three days since the living room  
I realized it’s all my fault, but couldn’t tell you  
Yesterday, you’d forgiven me  
But it’ll still be two days 'til I say I’m sorry

Let’s not get hysterical, maybe you need a sabbatical  
You get so angry when you’re wrong  
I’m sorry i’m sorry I don’t know what I’m saying

You know it came as quite a shock  
To find your note in the cereal box  
And why’d you have to change the locks  
I’m sorry I’m sorry I don’t know what I’m saying

And I found myself  
Back in the bachelor scene  
Feel like an astronaut  
In a submarine

I never let my friends down

I wanted to be a spaceman  
That’s what I wanted to be  
But now that I am a spaceman  
Nobody cares about me

Hey, Mother Earth  
Won’t ya bring me back down  
Safely to the sea?  
But 'round and around and around and around  
Is all she ever say to me

We had a lot of luck on Venus  
We always had a ball on Mars  
Meeting all the groovey people  
We’ve rocked the Milky Way so far  
We danced around with Borealice  
We’re space truckin’ round the the stars  
Come on let’s go Space Trucking
