I set out running but I’ll take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don’t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You’re asking me will my love grow
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around and it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know
You’ve made me acknowledge the devil in me
I hope to God I’m talkin’ metaphorically
Hope that I’m talkin’ allegorically
Know that I’m talkin’ about the way I feel
And I’ve never known a girl like you before
I wanna sing you a love song
I wanna rock you in my arms all night long
I wanna get to know you
I wanna show you the peaceful feelin’ of my home
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one, we can be one together
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one, we can be one together
Can I sit next to you, girl, can I sit next to you, girl
Can I sit next to you, girl, can I sit next to you, girl
Can I sit next to you, and then take you home
I never chose to juxtapose, now
Myself with that girl, or with those, now
It’s not that I don’t like them all
I’m sure they’re very nice
But you’re my fave and no replacement will do
I just want to be adjacent to you
Why do birds suddenly appear, ev’ry time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky, ev’ry time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be close to you.
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Way-oh-way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
There it stands in the corner with the barrel so straight
I looked out the winder and over the gate
The big fat rabbits are jumpin’ in the grass
Wait 'till they hear my old shotgun blast
Bright eyes, burning like fire.
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale, bright eyes?
How many times must I live this tragedy?
How many more lies will they tell me?
All I want is the same as everyone
Why am I here, and for how long?
And I raise my head and stare into the eyes of a stranger
I’ve always known that the mirror never lies
I often wonder what he’s feeling.
Has he ever heard a word I’ve said?
Look at him now in the mirror dreaming
What is happening in his head?
Listening to you I get the music.
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet!
Comin’ down the mountain, one of many children
Everybody has their own opinion
Everybody has their own opinion
Holding it back hurts so bad
Jumping out of my flesh and I said
Cash in!
Cash in now honey
Cash in now
Cash in now baby
If the money keeps rolling in what’s a girl to do?
Cream a little off the top for expenses—wouldn’t you?
But where on Earth can people hide their little piece of Heaven?
Thank God for Switzerland
Where a girl and a guy with a little petty cash between them
Can be sure when they deposit no-one’s seen them
Oh what bliss to sign your checks as three-o-one-two-seven
Never been accounts in the name of Eva Peron!
Money, get back
I’m all right, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it’s a hit
Don’t give me that do goody good bullshit
I’m in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
