Emotions In Motion

Early in the mornin' i'm layin' on my bed
Stickin' to the rhythm of the music in my head
Rockin' in the mirror...rollin' out the door
Hop into the car and put the pedal to the floor
Callin' out your number--i'll take you for a ride
Find something to keep me satisfied


Runnin' for the money...layin' out the green
It's a tax accountant's nightmare--it's a rock 'n roll dream
The income may be different but the outcome's still the same
You'll never be a winner boy until you play the game
Hounded to distraction...racin' to and fro
Losin' my direction keepin' up my status quo
Now i tried - tried - tried - tried
It just don't seem to keep me satisfied


A hundred-thousand miles in a 747
Take it all in style if you wanna get to heaven
Chasin' all the action every single night
Never understand it but you try to do it right
Ragged 'round the edges...none the worse for wear
Cuttin' all the corners but they never get me there
Now i try - try - try - try
It just don't seem to keep me satisfied

I read you like an autograph...you love the spotlight
You shoot me like a photograph...you get me uptight
You're gunnin' for me every day...go straight for the heart
Say you want me--you push me away...say it tears you apart


You're on the inside...i'm on the outside
Don't matter whose side...you take the other side


I can see you walkin' down the aisle...you're thinkin' long-range
I've seen you work the miracle mile for loose change
You can have it anyway you want...your fancy dinners in the restaurants
Even though they leave you hungry inside, it's a free ride


You show your bad side...it's so undignified
Get off your back-side...you're talkin' suicide


Go and be what you wanna be
Sink your time and your hooks in me
You can hold me down--take me 'round and 'round and 'round


You catch me when i'm 'bout to fall...but you leave me there
What really matters doesn't matter at all...you don't care
It's hard to figure in your life...it's a roundabout
You're makin' it so hard to give in...but you won't let me out


You take the right side...i'm on the wrong side
No matter who's side...we're talkin' suicide

Take my soul to the lost-and-found
Girl she made me a hand-me-down
Never know when she'll come around or what i'll see
No resistance--it's hardly fair
Call my name, honey--i'll be there
I'll give in to you anywhere..so foolishly
I could never ever lie to you
I could never even try
I just wanna be beside you


Sweet emotion'll pass you by
Girl she left me alone to cry
I still remember how she could make love to me
You see the traces--they always show
Some may come and some may go
But one of us will never know what you see
Never wanted to rely on you
Never wanted you to try
I just wanna be beside you


She's a runner...anyone can see
She's a runner...she run all over me
She's a runner...you can't walk away
She's a runner..she can make you stay


I need to listen to my advice
The aggravation ain't worth the price
I can tell ya she won't think twice
She gonna knock down, put ya down..oo yea


She's a runner...anyone can see
She's a runner...she tore it out a me
She's a runner...watch her walk away
She's a runner...you can't make her stay

You got a lot to learn
You play in the fire...you might get burned
You gotta sacrifice
You're playin' the victim of your own device
You try to understand
The comb-in-the-ashes isn't what you planned
You...it gets you every time
You're chasin' the visions--they're nowhere to find


Learn how to give...learn how to take
Learn how to live before it's too late


You got the restless eyes
They turn to distraction--there's no compromise
You gotta take some time
And fight for the answers--they're hard to find
You..now don'tcha fantasize
Start makin' your chances materialize


Learn how to bend...learn how to break
Learn how to mend broken heartaches
Learn to forgive...learn how to wait
Learn how to live before it's too late


Run from the light, and you lock all your doors
It's harder to fight when you've gone down before
The scene's 're so right--but they play out so wrong
So into the night it goes on and on and on and on and on

You see 'em comin' at you every night
Strung on pretension they fall for you at first sight
You know their business--you think it's a bore
They make you restless--it's nothin' you ain't seen before
Get around town, spend your time on the run
You never let down...say you do it for fun
Never miss a play, though you make quite a few
You give it all away when everybody wants you


You crave attention--you can never say "no"
Throw your affections anyway the wind blows
You always make it--you're on top of the scene
You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine
Puttin' on the eyes 'til there's nobody else
You never realize what you do to yourself
The things that they see make the daily reviews
You never get free when everybody wants you


Everybody knows you
Everybody snows you
Everybody needs you...leads you...bleeds you


Nights of confusion and impossible dreams
Days at the mirror, patchin' up around the seams
You got your glory--you paid for it all
You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol
Say goodbye to conventional ways
You can't escape the hours--you lose track of the days
The more you understand, seems the more like you do
You never get away...everybody wants you
