1. 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.


2. 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.


3. ACCIDENTS NEVER HAPPEN

No I don't believe in luck
No I don't believe in circumstance no more
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
So I won't believe in luck
I saw you walking in the dark
So I slipped behind your footsteps for a while
Caught you turning round the block
Fancy meeting in a smaller world, after all.

Accidents never happen, could have planned it all
Precognition in my ears
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Complications disappear.

Now you love me
I, yeah, I can tell
I never lied, I never cried
And you, you knew so well.

Like the Magi on the hill
I can divinate your presence from afar
And I'll follow you until
I can bring you to a perfect world.

Accidents never happen, could have planned it all
Precognition in my ears
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Complications disappear.

Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Accidents never happen
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Accidents never happen.


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. GOOD BOYS

Satellites are falling down tonight
I see you far away
I'm floating into this inescapable bliss.

Changing light, I know the symptoms of
I got myself to blame
I'm needing you, I just don't care anymore.

Good boys never win
Good boys always fallow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain.

Fear of flight
I'm so afraid of heights
Why are you asking why
I'm walking but my feet are never touching the ground.

Good boys never win
Good boys always fallow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain.

Eyes wide in the middle of the night
Got more money than a body got right
Riding on the L 'til the sun comes up again.

You got me on your face
A big disgrace
Shakin' your feathers all over the place
You woke face down on St. Marks Avenue.

What a pity for you.


6. RIP HER TO SHREDS

(Hey! psst pssst! Here she comes now.)
Oh, you know her, would you look at that hair
Yeah, you know her, check out those shoes
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's Blues.

She looks like the Sunday comics
She thinks she's Brenda Starr
Her nose job is real atomic
All she needs is an old knife scar.

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.

Oh, you know her, "Miss Groupie Supreme"
Yeah, you know her, "Vera Vogue" on parade
Red eye shadow! Green mascara!
Yuck! She's too much.

She looks like she don't know better
A case of partial extreme
Dressed in a Robert Hall sweater
Acting like a soap opera queen.

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds.

She got the nerve to tell me she's not on it
But her expression is too serene
Yeah, she looks like she washes with Comet
Always looking to create a scene.

Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull. Rip her to shreds.

Oh, you know her, "Miss Groupie Supreme"
Yeah, you know her, "Vera Vogue" on parade
Yeah, you know her, with the fish-eating grin
She's so dull.

Yeah, she got the nerve to tell me!
Huh, she's so dull
Yeah, there she goes now
She making out with King Kong
She take her boat to Hong Kong
Well, bye bye sugar
And not a minute too soon.

8. 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!


9. X.OFFENDER

I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine.
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled,
I laid my heart on the line
You read me my rights and then you said "Let's go" and nothing more
I thought of my nights, and how they were
They were filled with.

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh.

We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side
I look at your life and your style
I wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh.

Walking the line, you were a marksman
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless
Public defender
You had to admit
You wanted the love of a sex offender.

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked
You just had to laugh.

My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial, you were there
With your badge and rubber boots.

I think all the time how I'm going to perpetrate love with you
And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive To you.

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.

13. DREAM'S LOST ON ME

I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air
Bright as Tiajuana
Like a dose of Bella Donna
I could cry but I don't wanna
And the dream's lost on me.

I come out shootin' when trouble comes knockin'
I greet bad news by sending it walkin'
Happy or just crazy
Relaxed or laxy
Gonna keep my vision hazy
And the dream's lost on me.

Cares are all buckshot and buffalo
Every dark has an afterglow
I'm not afraid of what's down below
I keep my sights on the sky.

I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air
Bright as Tiajuana

14. (I'M ALWAYS TOUCHED BY YOUR)PRESENCE, DEAR

Was it destiny
I don't know yet
Was it just by chance? Could this be Kismet?
Something in my consciousness told me you'd appear
Now I'm always touched by your presence dear
When we play at cards you use an extra sense (it's really Not cheating)
You can read my hand, I've got no defence
When you sent your messages whispered loud and clear
I am always touched by your presence dear
Floating past the evidence of possibilities
We could navigate together, psychic frequencies
Coming into contact with outer entities
We could entertain each one with our theosophies.

Stay awake at night and count your R.E.M.'s when you're Talking with your super friends
Levitating lovers in the secret stratosphere
I am still in touch with your presence dear
I am still in touch with your presence dear
I am still in touch with your presence dear, dear, dear, Dear, dear.

La La La La La La La La La La La.

Was that an invitation
Can you explain I'm so impatient
Hey rise to the occasion
Can you explain the reason
Why you took a second look, a second look.

I saw you once, met you twice
Oooh your presence feels so nice
Your silent, get your tongue untied
When the night goes still you open wide
You've got to say uh huh
Before I come undone.

You got a sweet expression
Is that the spot that I should kiss on
Hey tell me, can you hear me
You've got to raise your voice because the music's loud
You've got to shout, spit it out.

It seems like you've got a funny way
Eyes that tell her you can't say
I sure would like to read your mind
Your speechless and I've tried and tried
You've got to say uh huh
Before I come undone.

Right from the start your kissing lips are undone
If you just say something,
I won't tell you to shut it up.

La La La La La
La La La La La La La
La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La La.

It's like an application,
You fill it in the open spaces
Because I've been over taking,
And I'm so sick of waiting
One, two, three, answer me, answer me.

I saw you once, met you twice
Oooh your presence feels so nice
Your silent, get your tongue untied
When the night goes still you open wide
You've got to say uh huh
Before I come undone.

16. END TO END

Just when our number's up
You smashed the loving cup
It spills out everywhere
It simply isn't fair.

We light up fire flies
We kissed on New Years Night
We changed the century
All those romantic things.

We changed the light to low
It made our spirits glow
If it were up to me
I'd never let you go.

So If By Chance
You Should agree
Ohh tonight
We keep it Real
Tonight
We put an End to the End
And just go on and on.

We wrote our name in lights
Made music every night
Heatwaves and rhapsody
Burn In my memory.
