SIDE A


1. 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!.


2. ISLAND OF LOST SOUL

In Babylon
On the boulevard of broken dreams
My will power at the lowest ebb
Oh what can I do?
Oh buccaneer
Can ya help me put my truck in gear?
Can ya take me far away from here?
Save my soul from sin?.

You wanna get away you've had it man
Nothing's going right
So come sit on the sands of the island
Island of Lost Souls.

No luxuries, no no amenities
Too dull, your senses
Oh oh only primitive
"Hey hey really get away," is what he said.

Where did he go?
I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be?
He's not with me
Where did he go?
What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?.

The sky is blue the sea is warm and clear
And golden sands are calling out to you inviting
Make a new man outa you.

You can come for a while come with a friend
Forget about work start all over again
Let the real you through, here's what we do.

Where did he go?
I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be?
He's not with me
Where did he go?
What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?.

No luxuries, no no amenities
Too dull, your senses
Oh oh only primitive
Hey hey really get away
Island of Lost Souls.

Ayya ayya ayya Island of Lost Souls.


3. DANCEWAY

Be my TV guide
In between the stations
Be my satellite
Secret information
Stairway
Going one way to the subway
Waiting for the train
Take it to the runway.

Journal in the Square
Fingers in the hairdo
England in the air
Beatle in the bathroom.

No one understands you
Upperhands you lonely valentine
Bell and book and candle.

Turning in the light
Singing to the doorway
Standing on the side
Listen to the subway.

Highway going
One way or another
Let's get in the car
Brooklyn Queens Expressway.


4. THE TIDE IS HIGH

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no.

It's not the things you do that tease and wound me bad
But it's the way you do the things you do to me.

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no.

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one.

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn.

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no.

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one.

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn.

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no.

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one.


5. 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.


SIDE B


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. DREAMING

When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure
A movie or a measure?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me We just walk on by - we just keep on dreaming
Feet feet, walking a two mile
Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him, I'll never forget him.

Dream dream, even for a little while
Dream dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate.

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own
Something you can have and hold.

I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free.


3. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha
I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around.

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'll getcha, I'll getcha

See who's hanging out.

One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip, a slip of the lip or another
I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip.

I'll walk down the mall
Stand over by the wall
Where I can see it all
Find out who ya call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd.

One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call).


4. WAR CHILD

I need city lights
Defence and weaponry
No way of knowing
My life expectancy
I learn resistance
Like I learn to see
A living witness
A lonely refugee I'm a war child
I'm a war baby
And that's the difference
Between you and me
I'm a war child.

My occupation
Is being occupied
I stop at the corner
To be identified.

Across the border
They pretend victory
I'm playing in the rubble
And dream a destiny.

I'm a war child
I'm a war baby
And that's the difference
Between you and me
I'm a war child.

You weren't discovered by Khmer Rouge
We hear of "the troubles" on the nightly news
PLO lovers courting after the curfew
Your father and brother have the West Bank blues.


5. START ME UP (ROLLINGS STONES COVER)

You can start me up
You can start me up
I'll never stop.

You can start me up
I've been running hot
You got me just about to blow my top.

You can start me up
you can start me up
I never stop
never stop
never stop
never stop.

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry.

Spread out the oil
the gasolin
I walk smooth
Ride in a mean
mean machine, start it up.

Start me up, kick on the starter
Give it all you got
you got
you got.

I can't compete with your riders in the other heats
You rough it up, if you like it up
I can slide it up
slide it up
slide it up
slide it up.

Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry.

My eyes dilate
my lips go green
my hands are greasy.

She's a mean
mean machine, start it up.

Start me up
and you've got to
never
never
never stop.

Start it up now
start it up
start it up

Start and never
never
never
never.

You make a grown man cry.

Ride like the wing
at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never
never seen.

Start it up, love the day when we'll never stop.
Never stop
never
never
never stop.

Tough me up
never stop
never stop.

You
you
you make a grown man cry
You
you make a grown man cry
You
you
you make a grown man cry
You
you
