1. HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.

It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.

I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.

Hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah oh oh oh run to me.


2. MY SKIN CRIES

Following my lust for wander everywhere I've ever been,
I can't escape the sound of it - the sound of my screaming Skin.

My skin cries
My blood sighs
I still owe some dread on this hide.

Following my trust in wonder I watch the circus begin.
I can't ignore the scent of it - the scent of my screaming Skin.

My skin cries
My blood sighs
I still owe some dread on this hide.

La la la la la la la
La
La la la la la la la.

I'm a multicellular individual
You're way out of proportion!
We've got the hemodynamic connection
Don't call me germ!

Allowing for my strength to muster
My losses begin to win
Tropical winds start to bluster, raising the fur on my skin.

My skin cries
My spirits fly
But I still owe some dread on this hide.

Oooh.

Yeah!
I'm a multicellular individual
You're way out of proportion
We've got the hemodynamic connection
And don't call me germ!

Swallowing my pride no longer, I take the forbidden sun
If I have been sculpted by hunger, I'm not the only one.

My skin cries
My blood sighs
I still owe some dread on this hide of mine.

La la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la.

I'm a multicellular individual.
You're way out of proportion, ah ha!
We've got the hemodynamic connection.
Don't call me germ!

My skin cries
My spirit flies
But I still owe some dread on this hide.

My skin cries
My blood sighs
And I still owe some dread on this hide of mine.

My spirit flies
My blood sighs
And I still owe some dread on this hide of mine.

My skin cries
My spirit flies
But I still owe some dread on this hide.


3. FORGIVE AND GORGET

In the beginning, in the days before time, the light was Alive with the essense of power
And from that power were born beings who lived on the edge Of eternity
And they spread their wings and soared through the ancient Air
And the beating of their wings made the winds
And from the winds came the seas.
And from the sea came the life of the earth

Nature's cast upon the sea the winds of past, of promise be
Waters deep uncover me
A scheme of sleep as lovers three.

If you'll forgive me my ferocity, I won't forget your Sweetness
Pull down the night, lay it before me
Gratify my head with curses.

Night recalls tranquility
A curtain falls and sets it free
Darkness calls eternity
Down silent halls the shadows flee.

If you'll forgive me my ferocity, I won't forget your Sweetness
Pull down the night, lay it before me
Satisfy my head with curses.

Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget.

Fates are cast upon the sea
The winds of past of promise be
Waters deep uncover me
A scheme of sleep as lovers three.

Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget.


4. SHAYLA

Shayla worked in a factory
She wasn't history. She's just a number
One day she gets her final pay
And she goes far away
Green trees call to me
I am free but life is so cheap
Scenery is still outside of me
All alone, trapped by its beauty.

Shayla turned to run away
To leave in peace and end her stay
Years of fear were in her way
Lost in space and down she came.

Suddenly some subtle entity
Some cosmic energy brushed her like shadows
Down here we stop to wonder
Cars on the freeway. Bright lights and thunder.


5. UNION CITY BLUE

Oh, oh, what are we gonna do?
Union, Union, Union City blue
Tunnel to the other side
It becomes daylight
I say he's mine.

Oh power, passion plays a double hand
Union, Union Union City man
Arrive, climb up four flights
To the orange side
Rearrange my mind
In turquoise Union, Union, Union City blue
Skyline, passion, Union City blue.

Power, passion plays a double hand
Union, Union, Union City man
I say he's mine
I have a plan
I say he's my Union City man.

Oh, oh, what are we gonna do?
Union, Union, Union City blue.


6. SUNDAY GIRL

I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl.

Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I say awake all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me.

She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl.

Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday girl.

Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl.

When I saw you again in the summertime
If your love was as sweet as mine
I could be Sunday's girl.

Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I say awake all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
I got the blues.


7. MARIA

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die.

Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
Ooh, wanna make her all your own?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights.

I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and fool on fire.

Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire.

Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights.

Ooh, don't you wanna break her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

She walks like she don't care
Walkin' on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die.

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights.

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights.

10. IN THE FLESH

Darlin' darlin' darlin'
I can't wait to see you
Your picture ain't enough
I can't wait to touch you in the flesh
Darlin' darlin' darlin'
I can't wait to hear you
Remembering your love
Is nothing without you in the flesh.

Went walking one day on the lower East side
Met you with a girlfriend, you were so divine
She said, "Hands off this one sweetie, this boy is mine."
I couldn't resist you - I'm not deaf, dumb, and blind.

Darlin' darlin' darlin'
Now you're out of town
Those girls that you run with
They bring my head down
Ooh Darlin' darlin'
Watch out if I see you
'Cause if you say hello
It'll mean you wanna see me in the flesh.

Ooh warm and soft, in the flesh
Ooh close and hot, in the flesh
Ooh.


11. RAPTURE

Toe to toe
Dancing very slow
Barely breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in Rapture.

Back to back
Sacrailiac
Spinless movement
And a wild attack.

Face to face
Sadly solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture.

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
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 to 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..

Man to man, body muscular
Sismic decibel by the jugular
Wall to wall, tea time technology and a digital ladder
No sign of bad luck in rapture.

Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!


12. HEART OF GLASS

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind.

In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do.

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind.

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind.

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah.

Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind.
