Crash! Boom! Bang!

Everywhere I look I see her smile / Her absent-minded eyes /
And she has kept me wondering for so long /
How this thing could go wrong.

It seems to me that we are both the same /
Playing the same game /
But as darkness falls this true love falls apart /
Into a riddle of her heart.

She's so vulnerable, like china in my hands /
She's so vulnerable and I don't understand /
I could never hurt the one I love / She's all I've got /
But she's so vulnerable / Oh so vulnerable.

Days like these no one should be alone /
No heart should hide away / Her touch is gently conquering my mind /
There's nothing words can say.

She's coloured all the secrets of my soul /
I've whispered all my dreams /
But just as nighttime falls this vision falls apart /
Into a riddle of her heart, yea.

She's so vulnerable, like china in my hands /
She's so vulnerable and I don't understand /
I could never hurt someone I love / She's all I've got /
But she's so vulnerable / Oh so vulnerable.

Don't hide your eyes...

The first time we met time stood still / You left me breathless /
Suddenly speechless.

Within the hour we were one /
Two total strangers kissing the moonlight.

Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go / I'm really sorry it had to die /
I'm really sorry I made you cry / Cry.

We fell in love between the nights /
Of too many lovers and too many teardrops.

And fate won't resist some satin sheets / I was so helpless /
Totally ruthless.

Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go /
I'm really sorry you're hurt inside /
I'm really sorry I made you cry / Cry, cry.

Love is lifting you up and draggin' you down /
Makes you go round and round and round /
Time makes a stop then it's all gone /
Funny how memories keep lingering on.

I once knew a girl / I can't remember her name but I remember her face
cos her sister looked the same.

They both left school, but they couldn't find a job /
So they said farewell and stole a small town car.

As they were riding by the beach some summer night /
The radio shouted out one of those songs that might just change
your life /

- It went like this:

'Checkin' in checkin' out /
Making love I like watching all your fireworks /
I like it when I light those stars in your eyes /
Just like fireworks in the sky' / - yes it did...

Throwing some poems to the ports and docks /
They were sleeping outdoors pushing all their luck.

They sent me a letter full of pills and thrills /
Then they both got rich and moved to Hollywood Hills.

Yea they made lots of money playing folk guitar /
Cos everywhere the boys went crazy just to hear these words of art:

'Checkin' in checkin' out / Take it to the sky /
Making love I like watching all your fireworks /
I like it when I light those stars in your eyes /
Just like fireworks in the sky'.

They're coming to get you / They're coming to get you now /
Coming to get you now / Watch the sky!

My Papa told me to stay out of trouble /
'When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!'.

I've learned that nothing really lasts forever /
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal / They won't heal.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love / Crash! Boom! Bang! /
I find the heart but then I hit the wall / Crash! Boom! Bang! /
That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same.

I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere /
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.

My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow /
But I always did, and Lord, I still do / I'm still breaking the rules /
I kick it up / I kick it down.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love / Crash! Boom! Bang! /
I find the heart but then I hit the wall / Crash! Boom! Bang! /
That's my real middle-name / It has always been the same /
That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same.

I still feel the heat / Slowly fallin' from the sky /
And the taste of the kissing / Shattered by rain /
Comin' tumblin' from behind / And the wild holy war.

I kick it up / I kick it down /

And every time I seem to fall in love / Crash! Boom! Bang! /
I find the roses dying on the floor / Crash! Boom! Bang! /
That's the tall, that's the game and the pain stays the same /
That's my real middle-name / It has always been the same.

Oh Yea Oh Yea Oh Yea Uh-huh / Been the same, been the same /
It has always been the same.

What's she like when she turns around to kiss you goodnight? /
When she wakes up in the morning by your side? / What's she like?

What's she like? / The yellow moon or the deep blue of the sea? /
Do you feel the same way you did when it was me? / What's she like?

Oh I've been holding on / I've been holding on for far too long /
I've been holding on / I've been holding on much too long.

What's she like when you're making love and stars are in her eyes? /
When you're looking for the answers in her smile? / What's she like?

Oh I've been holding on / I've been holding on for far too long /
I've been holding on / I've been holding on much too long / Too long.

I never knew I could love somebody the way I loved you /
I never thought I'd be the broken-hearted /
Well, nothing hurts you like the truth.

So what's she like when she turns to you, when push comes to shove? /
When she whispers in your ear that she's in love? / What's she like?

Oh I've been holding on / I've been holding on for far too long /
I've been holding on / I've been holding on much too long /
So what's she like?

She was the first girl on the moon / She didn't compromise /
When she took off that cold afternoon / Heading for the northern skies.

I told her I could come / That I could come along.

She was the first girl on the moon / I think I was her only friend /
She brought her raygun, an old harpoon / Just in case of accidents.

I told her I could come / That I could come along /
But she didn't let me come along / Wave goodbye / Wave goodbye.

She was the first girl on the moon / Standing tall, flag in hand /
She looked around humming a tune / The strangest song known to man.

I told her I could come / That I could come along /
But she never let me come along / Wave goodbye. Wave goodbye.

Love is all / Love is all around you / Love is there in your laughter /
In your hair / Love flows everywhere.

Love is old / Love is older than you / But the light shining through /
Makes me see / Your love is all new.

Hey / Sha la la / Shine a light / Shine on me /
Shine your light on me / Sha la la / Shine your light on me.

Love is all / Love will always be The Law /
And higher love radiates on us all / On us all.

Before we take off all our clothes and get close together /
Before it gets too serious both of us need to know /
Are we gonna go the whole awy this time? / This time?

Before all secrets are revealed old scars must heal or wither /
But it's getting very late and I can't wait anymore /
Are we gonna go the whole way this time /
Do you wanna go the whole way this time? / This time?

Do you wanna go the whole way now? / We're taking it easy /
Do you wanna go the whole way, Babe? / Kick it in, kick it in slowly.

Do you wanna go the whole way this time? /
Do you wanna go the whole way for sure /
Do you wanna go the whole way this time? / This time? /
This time? / Do ya?
