Girl, we’ve been meant for this since we were born (since we were born)  
No problems now, the coast is clear (ooh)  
It’s just the calm before the storm

This must be just like livin’ in paradise  
Just like paradise  
And I don’t wanna go home  
And I don’t want to go  
This must be just like livin’ in paradise  
And I don’t wanna go home

He can see she’s been cryin’  
She’s got blisters on the soles of her feet  
She can’t walk but she’s tryin’  
Oh, think twice, 'cause it’s another day for you and me in paradise

I’m lonely as I can be, I’m waitin’ for your company

Let me tell you ‘bout a girl I know  
I met her walkin’ down a uptown street  
She’s so fine you know I wish she was mine  
I get shook up every time we meet

I’m talkin’ 'bout you  
Nobody but you  
Yeah, I do mean you  
I’m just trying to get a message to you

I was searchin’ (Searchin’) on a one-way street  
I was hopin’ (Hopin’) for a chance to meet  
I was waitin’ for the operator on the line  
(She’s gone so long) What can I do?  
(Where could she be?) No, no, no  
Don’t know what I’m gonna do  
I gotta get back to you

You gotta slow down (Slow down)  
Sweet talkin’ woman (Slow down)  
You got me runnin’ (Run, run), you got me searchin’  
Hold on (Hold on)  
Sweet talkin’ lover (Hold on)  
It’s so sad if that’s the way it’s over  
(Sweet talkin’ woman)

Now I see myself as I am  
Feeling very free  
Life is everything  
Ooh it’s meant to be  
When my tears have come to an end  
I will understand  
What I left behind  
Part of me

I’ve been searching  
So long  
To find an answer  
Now I know my life has meaning  
Woah woah

When the summer’s gone  
She’ll be there standing by the light  
Once she’s been to where she’s gone to  
She should know wrong from right  
Is she feelin’  
Are you feelin’, you feelin’ that way too  
Or am I just  
Am I just your fool?

Don’t laugh at me cause I’m a fool  
I know it’s true, yes I’m a fool  
No-one seems to care  
I’d give the world to share my life with someone  
Who really loves me

Yeah, this world’s got a lot of space  
And if they don’t like my face  
It ain’t me that’s going any where, no

So I don’t care then laugh at me  
If that’s so fair, I have to beg to be free

Space is dark, it is so endless  
When you’re lost it’s so relentless  
It is so big, it is so small  
Why does man try to act so tall  
Is this the reason, deep in our minds?

(Yeah, I like Hawkwind just fine, but I’m not listening for the lyrics.)

Ninety-nine knights of the air  
Ride super high-tech jet fighters  
Everyone’s a superhero  
Everyone’s a “Captain Kirk”  
With orders to identify  
To clarify and classify  
Scramble in the summer sky  
Ninety-nine red balloons go by  
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
