1. _ Picture This
All i want is a room with a view.
A sight worth seeing, a vision of you.
All i want is a room with a view, oh...
I will give you my finest hour, the one i spent watching you shower.
I will give you my finest hour, oh, yeah.
All i want is a photo in my wallet.
A small remembrance of something more solid.
All i want is a picture of you.
Picture this - a day in december.
Picture this - freezing cold weather.
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids if it weren't for your job at the garage.
If you could only,
Picture this - a sky full of thunder.
Picture this - my telephone number.
One and one is what i'm telling you, oh, yeah.
All i want is 20/20 vision.
A total portrait with no omissions.
All i want is a vision of you, oh...
If you can,
Picture this - a day in december.
Picture this - freezing cold weather.
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids if it weren't for your job at the garage.
If you could only,
Picture this - a sky full of thunder.
Picture this - my telephone number.
One and one is what i'm telling you.
Get a pocket computer, try to do what ya used to do, yeah.

2. _ Rip Her To Shreds
(heypsst psst, here she comes now.)
Oh, you know her.
Would ya 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!
Ehhh, 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...
Ehhh, 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...
Ehhh, 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.

3. _ 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.
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.

4. _ Rapture
Toe to toe, dancing very close.
Body breathing almost comatose.
Wall to wall, people hypnotized.
And they're stepping lightly.
Hang each night, in rapture.
Back to back, sacroiliac.
Spineless movement and a wild attack.
Face to face, sightless solitude.
And it's finger popping.
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture.
Fab five freddy told me everybody's fly.
D.j. spinning, i said, "my, my."
Flash is fast, flash is cool.
Francois, c'est pas flashe non due.
And you don't stop, sure shot.
Go out to the parking lot.
And you get in your car and drive real far.
And you drive all night and then you see a light.
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground.
And out comes the 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 eating cars.
You eat cadillacs, lincolns too.
Mercurys and subaru.
And you don't stop.
You keep on eating 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 too slow 'cause the man from mars is through with cars.
He's eating 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 singing in the rain.
Said don't stop to the punk rock.
Well now you see what you wanna be.
Just have your party on t.v.
'cause the man from mars won't eat up bars where the t.v'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 eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars.
Get up!

5. _ 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 stay away all week and still i wait.
I got the blues.
Please come see what your lovin 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.
When i saw you again in the summer time, if your love was as sweet as mine, i could be sunday's girl.

6. _ 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.

7. _ (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 defense.
When you sent your messages whispered loud and clear,
I am always touched by your presence, dear.
Floating pass 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.

9. _ Brite Side
Whenever i collapse, whenever i fold in your arms, that's when i know i'm holding you.
Holding you within my grasp.
Whenever i feel trapped, held by the inescapable, i try to put my mind at ease, protect the heart worn on my sleeve.
That's when i feel brand new.
I'm looking on the brite side.
I've got my visuals.
I'm looking on the brite side.
My 20/20's true.
I'm looking on the brite side.
That's when i know it's you.
You.
Whenever i'm in red a guardian angel's flying round my head.
I feel your touch warm as red's embarrassment, innocence' blush.
That's when i feel brand new.
I'm looking on the brite side.
I've got my visuals.
I'm looking on the brite side.
My 20/20's true.
I'm looking on the brite side.
That's when i know it's you.
You.
You.
Whenever i'm in bed i see myself in wide-screen love scenes close-up.
I'm holding you, holding you.
We're wrapped in blue.
I'm looking on the brite side.

13. _ French Kissin' In The Usa
Love's touch comes to mean so much.
Embrasser c'est francais.
Love's way, s'abandonner.
Slip into the velvet glove, parted lips so filled with love.
Lips upon forbidden places, lingering in long embraces.
French kissin' in the usa!
Lips are in motion.
Ocean to ocean to ocean, ocean to ocean to ocean.
Paris is calling!
Falling, we're falling, we're falling, falling, we're falling, we're falling.
Lips close, then blossom like a rose.
Lips wide holding you inside.
Kisses hard, kisses deep, a kiss to wake us from our sleep.
Take your lover by the hand, speak in tounges and understand.

In love with love.
In love with a passionate heart.
In love with love.
In love even when we're apart.
I wondered the difference of how it could last.
I heard the celebration of champagne in glass.
No wonder, it's no wonder why i'm in love with love.
In love with a passionate heart.
In love with love.
In love with the form of the art.
We love through the fighting of everyday life, of glass that gets broken and cuts like a knife.
I wonder and i wonder why i'm in love with love.
In love with a passionate heart.
In love with love then on with the delicate march.
Heart of fire.
House of fire.
In love with love.
In love with a passionate heart.
In love with love.
On fire with a passionate heart.
Ablaze with reflection, our hot house is set blazing with a flaming with a fire.
It's so passionately racing with a chaser.
It's so hard to keep my wits about me!

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.
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?
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 calls 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!
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
Hang up and run to me! oh!
