If you’re feeling sad and lonely,  
There’s a service I can render  
Tell the one who loves you only  
I can be so warm and tender

Call me  
Don’t be afraid, you can call me  
Maybe it’s late, but just call me  
Tell me, and I’ll be around

Color me your color, baby  
Color me your car  
Color me your color, darling  
I know who you are  
Come up off your color chart  
I know where you are coming from

Call me (Call me) on the line  
Call me, call me any, anytime  
Call me (Call me) I’ll arrive  
You can call me any day or night  
Call me

A Way Out Here They’ve Got A Name  
For Wind And Rain And Fire  
The Rain Is Jack The Fire Is Joe  
And They Call The Wind Mariah

The shutters are down and the curtains are closed  
And I’ve covered my tracks  
Disposed of the car  
And I’ll try to forget even your name  
And the way that you look  
When you’re sleeping  
Dreaming of this

Way out  
Way out of here

I keep a record of the wreckage of my life  
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind  
They talk shit, but I love it every time  
And I realize  
I’m no sweet dream, but I’m a hell of a night  
That I’m no sweet dream, but I’m a hell of a night

I’m not much of a man by the light of day  
But by night I’m one hell of a lover

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers,  
Hoping no one else discovers  
Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway.

Then you came into my heart  
We knew for a start  
Each word like a book  
With your spirit flowing…over me  
Don’t bother to close your heart  
Let’s drink honey in the park  
Swap hats and go for free  
To our secret garden

Saturday in the park  
I think it was the Fourth of July  
Saturday in the park  
I think it was the Fourth of July  
People dancing, people laughing  
A man selling ice cream  
Singing Italian songs

I couldn’t understand it  
My days were in a daze  
Is it bloody Sunday  
I’d better save my prayers  
Oh yeah, oh yeah

And when the stars came down  
I was higher than the 4th of July  
Whizzing right across the sky  
High, high, higher

You’ve got your habits  
I’ve got my customs  
I’m sure you know it’s got to be this way  
No hesitation  
And in the future  
We’ll celebrate our Independence Day

I go off to work on Monday morning  
Tuesday, I go off to honeymoon

I’ll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon

My baby takes the morning train  
He works from 9 to 5 and then  
He takes another home again  
To find me waiting for him

Working for a rise, better my station  
Take my baby to sophistication  
She’s seen the ads, she thinks it’s nice  
Better work hard - I seen the price  
Never mind that it’s time for the bus  
We got to work - an’ you’re one of us  
Clocks go slow in a place of work  
Minutes drag and the hours jerk

Sprawling on the fringes of the city  
In geometric order  
An insulated border  
In between the bright lights  
And the far unlit unknown

Growing up it all seems so one-sided  
Opinions all provided  
The future pre-decided  
Detached and subdivided  
In the mass production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer  
Or the misfit so alone

Loneliness is a cloak you wear  
A deep shade of blue is always there  
The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore  
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the sky  
The tears are always cloudin’ your eyes  
When you’re without love, baby

I used to follow, yeah, that’s true  
But my following days are over  
Now I just gotta follow through  
And I remember what my father said  
He said, “Son, life is simple”  
It’s either cherry red  
Or midnight blue  
Oh, oh  
Midnight blue  
Oh, oh

Pale blue eyes  
Gazing down  
From your ivory tower  
Through the haze  
All broken and bruised

Then out of the blue  
Love came rushing in  
Out of the sky  
Came the sun  
Out of left field  
Came a lucky day  
Out of the blue  
No more pain
