Something must be wrong with me and my brain
If I’m so patently unrewarding
But my dreams are for dreaming and best left that way
And my zero to your power of ten equals nothing at all
My hero, zero, such a funny little hero
But until you came along
We counted on our fingers and toes
Now you’re here to stay
I want someone
Not just anyone
Be my hero
See how we measure feelings from a distance
See how we measure people into zero
My reflection, dirty mirror
There’s no connection to myself
I’m your lover, I’m your zero
I’m the face in your dreams of glass
The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my eyes
The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my mind
We got the empire, now as then,
We don’t doubt, we don’t take reflection,
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
She climbed so high
I don’t know why
High, on her own
And I know
She’s in the air
And I don’t want it to go
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high
You see, she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights
I took off to find the sky
Everything was beautiful at the ballet.
Graceful men lift lovely girls in white.
Yes, Everything was beautiful at ballet.
Hey! I was happy… at the ballet.
Come on, shake your body baby, do the Conga
I know you can’t control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don’t you fight it till you’ve tried it
Do the Conga beat
Baby you touched a-my soul now
Woman don’t let go now
Hold on baby just a little bit tighter
Hold on a-just a little bit tighter now baby
I love yo so much and I can’t let go
Your love keeps lifting me higher
Than I ever been lifted before
So give me love which is my desire, honey
I’m gonna be at your side forever more
Lift me up and turn me over
Lead me on into the dawn
Take me to the highest mountain
Tie me up, love in a storm
Running just as fast as we can,
Holdin’ onto one another’s hand,
Tryin’ to get away into the night,
And then you put your arms around me,
And we tumble to the ground,
And then you say,
I think we’re alone now,
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people are saying
My God that’s tough, she stood him up
No point in us remaining
May as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I’ll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for.
But I don’t want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.
