Ooh, and it’s alright and it’s coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from
A-ha
I am returning the echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life, shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You’ve got to understand
We must remain perfect strangers
Yes, it’s sad to belong to someone else when the right one comes along.
If I needed someone to love
You’re the one that I’d be thinking of
If I needed someone
Tears are running
They’re all running down your dress
And your friends, baby
They treat you like a guest
Don’t you want somebody to love?
Don’t you need somebody to love?
Wouldn’t you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love
Well, I spent a lifetime lookin’ for you
Single bars and good time lovers were never true
Playin’ a fool’s game, hopin’ to win
And tellin’ those sweet lies and losin’ again.
Then, when there’s no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe, don’t move too slow
‘Cause the man from Mars is through with cars
He’s eatin’ bars, yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He’s gonna eat ‘em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don’t strain your brain, paint a train
You’ll be singin’ in the rain
I said don’t stop, do punk rock
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Measure by measure, drop by drop
And pound for pound, we’re taking stock
Of all the treasure still unlocked
The love you found must never stop
Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be, better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone
When the world and I were young,
Just yesterday.
Live was such a simple game,
A child could play.
It was easy then to tell right from wrong.
Easy then to tell weak from strong.
When a man should stand and fight,
Or just go along.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
Awaken you dreamers
Adrift in your beds
Balloons and streamers
Decorate the inside of your heads
Please let some out
Do it today
But don’t let the loveless ones sell you
A world wrapped in grey
99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells it’s red alert
There’s something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where 99 red balloons go by
Now don’t you know that I’m loving you for you
Your undead beauty with a face of passion blue
With all the words I give you, yes they are true
And Evelyn my dear I’m… so… dead… for you!
The night that Evelyn came out… of the grave!
Not tonight, Marie! The full moon shines,
I’m showing all the danger signs.
To hell with rest, I’ll thump my chest,
I’ll swing across the room on vines.
Marie, I don’t care where or how.
Marie, you’ve purely had it now.
Some night you won’t get through to me,
By God, but not tonight, Marie!
Look at me I’m as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I’m clinging to a cloud
I can’t understand
I get misty, just holding your hand
Misty mornin’, don’t see no sun;
I know you’re out there somewhere having fun.
There is one mystery - yea-ea-eah - I just can’t express:
To give your more, to receive your les
Mystery achievement
Don’t breathe down my neck no
I got no trophies on display
I sign them away
I mean what the heck
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You’re building a mystery
You all might like to hustle or do the bump or any dance you want
When I get out on the floor I just wanna strut my stuff
Got a pretty mama in Atlanta ain’t nothin’ but a Georgia peach
Strutted her stuff all the way down to West Palm Beach
