Fundamental

There's a brand new dance
That just hit this town
Makes you feel so good
This dance they call the round and round

Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down

You know the kids got a bloodhound
Out on the playing ground
And when they want to have some fun
They start to goin round and round

Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down

I got an elevator man
In the heart of town
And when he's feeling right
He will carry you round and round

Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down

Baby don't be jealous
When I come to town
I'm just a country girl
Everybody's tryin to push poor me around

Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down

You come home late from work, baby
You wonder why it ain't on the table
After the day that I've had
I don't believe I'm able

You give me every little reason in the book
But there's one thing that I think you've overlooked
you say you're tired, well so am I
Baby you've got to try and

Meet halfway or we ain't gonna make it, baby
Meet halfway if you want to get it right
Meet halfway cause I ain't gonna take it, baby
Meet halfway in the middle of the night

Our love is kind of stalled, baby
But it aint about the sex
I'd trade the roses and the negligees
If we could just connect

I go deeper when you look into my eyes
There's a place where neither one of us can hide
And it's up to us to reinvent the game
Love it when you call my name and

Meet halfway, ain't no doubt about it, baby
Meet halfway, and we're halfway home
Meet halfway, got to scream and shout it, baby
Meet me halfway and I'll shake you to the bone

There's a howlin at my window, baby
I hear him closin in
That green-eyed jackal's got the scent
Knows I'll let him in
He slinks in by me at the fire
More bitter than the cold
And it's a rage as old as Hades
That'll sputter on these coals

I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on the spit of love again

I never have believed you
But I stick around for more
Somethin bout that hollow in your eyes
There's a darkness at the core
Well, it's got me slowly turnin
I'm basting on the bone
I'm skewered like some drunken fool
In juices all my own

Callin the Furies' carrion choir
Singin me back upon the pyre
I'm roasting on that spit of love again

You can call it what you want
But it's lyin just the same
There's no mercy in these ashes, baby
When your love's a cryin shame
And they're howlin in moonlight, baby
They're here to call my bluff
they're wonderin if there'll ever come a day
When I'll have finally had enough

I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on that spit of love again

I need love
And I search it everyplace I go
And lately I been in a zone
It's got a will of its own
But right now I'm here to discuss
Just what you think about us

I need love, I need love
And I'm checkin everything I see
You know at times I wanna take on three
That's just the way I could be
I let you know about that
Just so you know where I'm at
I need love, I need love

It's always been this way and ain't' nothin'
Gonna change it
And ain't nothing you can try

I need love, I need love
And I'm takin every chance I man
And baby you could make my day
There's just one thing I should say
Now that's it's all said and done
You know I do need to run
I need love, I need love

Last night I thought I found you
I saw it in a dream
I was tangled in the rushes, baby
You were caught up in the stream
And the more I tried to reach you
The more you slipped away
And when I woke up in the darkness
I was callin' out your name

(Chorus)
You and we dance around it
Why is the truth so hard to say
We long for true love, well
We've found it, it's just
One Belief Away

There's a shadow in the garden
And it's coiled around our hearts
Won't you help me to believe you, baby
Won't you show me where to start

The more I try to reach you
The more you slip away
I want to wake up in the darkness
and hear you callin' out my name

(Chorus)

When I was a girl, my favorite thing
In the whole wide world
Was to see a field and
Run for no reason
And off I'd go, no one behind
Only earth below
Just a patch of green, green as the season

Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason

Now that things have changed
Everything's carefully prearranged
Not a thing gets done
Except for a reason
Now I'm overrun, I'm startin to feel
Like a hired gun
Where's the chance, where's the fun
Where is the pleasin?

Try and try, you moan and sigh
You just can't find a thing to believe in
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason

Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
You're just blue, blue for no reason
