Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You’ve been wrong before; don’t be wrong any more
Once upon a time
I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
In starlit nights I saw you, so cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world, your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
I’ll be watching from the center of the hollow moon
Oh, oh my God I think I might’ve made a mistake
Waiting patiently was waiting taking up space
We are waiting taking up space
The curse it lives on in their eyes
The Mariner he wished he’d die
Along with the sea creatures, but they lived on so did he
And by the light of the moon
He prays for their beauty, not doom
With heart he blesses them, God’s creatures all of them too
Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice
Make a promise, take a vow
And trust your feelings, it’s easy now
Understand the voice within
And feel the changes already beginning
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don’t want to be a richer man
Greed, your master passion
I Feed the mouth that bites me
Mammon, opiate of the masses
The reek of your lies draws flies
New York, Moscow (passion)
Hong Kong, Tokyo (passion)
Paris and Bangkok (passion)
A lotta people ain’t got passion
“Get Thai’d”, you’re talking to a tourist
Whose every move’s among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
My house in Budapest
My hidden treasure chest,
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, yeah, yeah
And when I die, and when I’m dead
Dead and gone
There’ll be one child born, in our world
To carry on, to carry on
So you children of the world, listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in, spread the word today
Show the world that love is still alive, you must be brave
Or your children of today are children of the grave
I watched as fear took the old men’s gaze
Hopes of the young in troubled graves
I see no day, I heard him say
So grey is the face of every mortal.
Dead man lying
by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.
Don’t let it bring you down
You got me runnin’ goin’ out of my mind,
You got me thinkin’ that I’m wastin’ my time.
Don’t bring me down, no no no no no,
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor, don’t bring me down.
Get on up on the floor
'Cause we’re gonna boogie oogie oogie
Till you just can’t boogie no more
