Judy and Johnny just walked through the door  
Like a queen with her king  
Oh what a birthday surprise  
Judy’s wearin’ his ring

It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to  
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to  
You would cry too if it happened to you

Sometimes  
I feel like I want to leave  
Behind all these memories  
And walk through that door  
Outside  
The black night calls my name  
But all roads look the same  
They lead nowhere  
They lead nowhere

Why are you still crying?  
Your pain is now through  
Please forget those teardrops  
Let me take them from you  
The love you are blessed with  
This world’s waiting for  
So let out your heart please, please  
From behind that locked door

When people keep repeating  
That you’ll never fall in love  
When everybody keeps retreating  
But you can’t seem to get enough

Let my love open the door  
Let my love open the door  
Let my love open the door  
To your heart

So let the sunshine in face it with a grin  
smilers never lose and frowners never win  
So let the sunshine in face it with a grin  
open up your heart and let the sunshine in

Black hole sun  
Won’t you come  
Won’t you come

Come back, come back again and again,  
I’ve been here since I can remember when  
Your world just spins whilst mine stands still  
Nothing’s changed in your gravity grave

To me you’re like the setting sun  
You rise then you’re gone  
To me you’re like the setting sun  
You shine then you’re gone

Summer’s going fast, nights growing colder  
Children growing up, old friends growing older  
Freeze this moment a little bit longer  
Make each sensation a little bit stronger

And in the winter extra blankets for the cold  
Fix the heater, getting old  
I am wiser now, I know, but still as big a fool  
Concerning you

It’s raining

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah  
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah  
The ants go marching one by one,  
The little one stops to suck his thumb  
As they all go marching down to the ground  
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

If you wanna hang out you’ve got to take her out.  
Cocaine.  
If you wanna get down, down on the ground.  
Cocaine.  
She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie;  
Cocaine.

And I said  
“No, no, no, no, I don’t [sniff] no more  
I’m tired of waking up on the floor  
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze  
And then it makes it hard to find the door”

Last thing I remember, I was running for the door  
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before  
“Relax,” said the night man, “We are programmed to receive.  
You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave!”

“Won’t you give me three steps,  
Gimme three steps mister,  
Gimme three steps towards the door?  
Gimme three steps  
Gimme three steps mister,  
And you’ll never see me no more.”

Going through security  
I held her for so long  
She finally looked at me in love  
And she was gone

You’ve got the look of love, is on your face  
A look that time can’t erase  
Be mine tonight  
Let this be just the start of so many nights like this  
Let’s take a lover’s vow and then seal it with a kiss

We can’t tell our left from right  
But we know we love extremes  
Getting to grips with the ups and downs  
Because there’s nothing in between  
When you say that’s love  
D’you mean the back of love  
When you say that’s love  
D’you mean the back of love?

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman  
But she was another man  
All the girls around her say she’s got it coming  
But she gets it while she can

Get back, get back  
Get back to where you once belonged  
Get back, get back  
Get back to where you once belonged
