Milk and honey
Your lips are milk and honey oh oh
Overflowing
You get my juices going
Sweet and tasty
Your love is sweet and tasty oh oh
Skin so creamy
Your body's soft and dreamy
Food for thought
You give me food for thought
Filling me up with your love
I can't control my hands
Champagne kisses
You give me champagne kisses oh oh
Cool my passion
Slow down my fast reaction
Hot and spicy
Your love is hot and spicy oh oh
Something's burning
Down in your life i'm turning
Food for thought
You give me food for thought
Filling me up with your love
I can't control my hands
Food for thought
You give me food for thought
Oh don't let me down
I'll starve without your love
Starve without your love
Starve without your love
Starve without your love
Starve without your love
Starve without your love
Something's cooking
I know that something's cooking oh oh
In your kitchen
I feel my hunger rising
So feed my senses
Come on and feed my senses oh oh
I'm not starving
I need a second helping
Food for thought
You give me food for thought
Filling me up with your love
I can't control my hands
Food for thought
You give me food for thought
Oh don't let me down
I'll starve without your love

Deep in the night
I can hear you calling my name
How can i try to help you woman
If you go on hiding your pain
Baby, baby, the tears on your pillow are real
You can't go on pretending to me
When i see the pain that you feel
A code of silence, is a dreadful thing
It can make you feel harder
It can keep you hanging on a string
Here in the darkness
When i hear you calling my name
A code of silence is a deadly game
It's a deadly game (what's that you say)
It's a deadly game (speak to me now)
It's a deadly game (deadly game)
Lost in your dreams
Trouble on your face in the pale moonlight
Nowhere to run you've got to let me know
Where you are standing tonight
Baby baby baby
I know that you're hurting inside
Open your heart
I know that we can make it
If you talk to me now
A code of silence, is a deadly thing
It can make you feel harder
It can keep you hanging on a string
Here in the darkness
When i hear you calling my name
A code of silence is a deadly game
It's a deadly game (what's that you say)
It's a deadly game (speak to me now)
It's a deadly game (deadly game).....

I wanna take a giant step
Don't know where i'll end up yet
The devil or the deep blue sea
There's always someone watching over me
The power of communication
Every little word's a big sensation
Sitting in the palm of my hand
Everyone at my command
It's a wonderland
(and i've only just begun)
(but i get a smile from everyone)
It's a wonderland
(makes no difference, day or night)
(`cos i won't go down without a fight)
I'd like to introduce you to
A special substance, good for you
No physical dependency
For a star in its ascendancy
The world is a great big oyster
I'm riding through on a roller coaster
I'm looking at exotic places
But i'm colour blind to all these faces
It's a wonderland
(and i've only just begun)
(but i get a smile from everyone)
It's a wonderland
(makes no difference, day or night)
(`cos i won't go down without a fight)
Live while you can
Everyday's a holiday
These are the golden years
And they won't be coming round again
So little time to be wild and free
So many things that you want to be
So little space between the cradle and the grave
But the minutes are ticking away
These are the special times
And they won't be coming round again woh oh woh
People take me for a ride
But i'm feeling good inside
The consequence of love and pain
And i'm not the one who takes the blame
My head is on another planet
My thoughts are soothed
By the hands upon it
A simple trade in real affection
And i'm not alone in the twilight zone
It's a wonderland
(and i've only just begun)
(but i get a smile from everyone)
It's a wonderland
(makes no difference, day or night)
(`cos i won't go down without a fight)
It's a wonderland
(and i've only just begun)
(but i get a smile from everyone)
It's a wonderland
(makes no difference, day or night)
(`cos i won't go down without a fight)
It's a wonderland.....

You and i don't have to hurry
Take your time now don't you worry
Let me know what you're going through
There's a troubled look on your face
And it would only take the time
It takes, for me to talk to you
And now and then we've got to question
Am i right, i may be wrong
And the only way we can work it out
We've got to try to give and take
And it will only take the time
It takes for me to talk to you
But don't turn me away
Open up your eyes now
Making up will only take a minute
Don't turn me away
Listen what your heart say
Making up will only take a minute
Breaking up is hard to turn around
You can't be living in emptiness
You've been lonely too long
But don't go making me promises
When you know that you're wrong
You're not true
So when you find out where your heart is
Let me know
I'll be waiting for you
You and i don't have to hurry
Take your time now don't you worry
Let me know what you're going through
There's a troubled look on your face
And it would only take the time
It takes, for me to talk to you
But don't turn me away
Open up your eyes now
Making up will only take a minute
Don't turn me away
Listen what your heart say
Making up will only take a minute
But you know, well you know

Oh oh i feel the city rhythm
Oh oh i love those city lights
But when the sun comes up
And the party's over
I don't care i'm coming back tonight
To the bright city lights
Home from work got your money in your pocket
Pull on your boots brand new suit
If you had the chance you'd hock it
For a night on the tiles
And a shot of midnight fever
Get off your back get on the track
Tune in your receiver oh oh
Oh oh i feel the city rhythm
Oh oh i love those city lights
But when the sun comes up
And the party's over
I don't care i'm coming back tonight
To the bright city lights
Truck down the street feeling kinda funky
Get on the beat shuffle your feet
Never know you might get lucky
You got love on the brain
Flashing like a neon
Feed `em a line
Give `em a sign
They're looking for a come on oh oh
Oh oh i feel the city rhythm
Oh oh i love those city lights
But when the sun comes up
And the party's over
I don't care i'm coming back tonight
To the bright city lights
No way to stop when the music's in your body
Into the night feel all right
No time for feeling sorry
You go down to the club
With the old familiar faces
Buy `em a drink kick up a stink
Everybody's going crazy oh oh
Oh oh i feel the city rhythm
Oh oh i love those city lights
But when the sun comes up
And the party's over
I don't care i'm coming back tonight
To the bright city lights
To the bright city lights
To the bright city lights
To the bright city lights
Oh i love those city lights

Hey you've been hanging on
To a dream
Hoping that time
Would turn your fear away
But you must stop
Take a look around
What do you see
Do you see me
People say that i'm crazy
(people call me a fool)
They've got no business to talk
(they've got no reason at all)
I'll take a chance with you baby
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all
Hey you're living in a world
Where reason is a waste of time
Nobody talking
The atmosphere is cold
Touching you deeply
Way down inside you
Do you wanna be loved
Say you wanna be loved
People say that i'm crazy
(people call me a fool)
They've got no business to talk
(they've got no reason at all)
I'll take a chance with you baby
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all
Hey i've been talked about
The way i've been following you
But i don't give a damn
When it feels so right
But i must find out
Take a look around me
What do i feel
What'll i do
You see i've been hanging on
To a dream
Hoping you'll find
The love you need in me
Giving you time
To make your mind up
Do you wanna be loved
Say you wanna be loved
People say that i'm crazy
(people call me a fool)
They've got no business to talk
(they've got no reason at all)
I'll take a chance with you baby
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all

I got a letter this morning
My overdraft's in overdrive
They wanna know what i'm gonna do about it
How i'm proposing to survive
Stay alive stay alive oooh
They want the money
So i work and work and work ......
They're making me roast
The cheque's in the post
You needn't worry worry worry....
You hit the roof when i'm on the floor
Did i ever let you down before
I got a letter from my broker
He say he broker than me
My silver mine has tarnished over
I'm on the road to tragedy
Help me, help me, oooooh
I need the money
So i work and work and work.....
I'm deeper in debt, i'm covered in sweat
You make me worry, worry, worry....
This nightmare's giving me the shakes
Hope i wake and find it's all a mistake
I started with nothing, and worked my way down
I know the things that i do, they mystify you
It's a strange way of living
But i like playing with fire
I'm always walking the wire
And when the tightrope snaps
You'll see my world collapse
I got a letter this morning
Must be my lucky day
Seems i've inherited a fortune
Rich uncle sam passed away, away, away, ooooh
I'm in the money
No more work and work and work.....
My banker's aghast, i'm dripping with cash
No need to worry, worry, worry.....
You need an angel to survive
An overdraft in overdrive

I don't need no special things to get me high
All i needs a touch of ron to get me by
I see people travelling, never make a move
I don't follow my leader, needles in the groove
I don't like sitar, it don't touch guitar
People selling me heaven, praying to the sky
I don't read their message
Listen with your eyes
Listen with your eyes
Listen with your eyes (i love it)
You've had a hustling day
Your life's roundabout anyway
I got my feet on the ground
That doesn't mean i don't get around
I get up on tops and down on mr. blue
I love to see a daybreak
It's not a chemical wide awake
I like a rub in the tub
I never want to pull out the plug
I get up on tops and down on mr. blue
Mr. blue!
People search the dailies, live by horoscope
Looking for direction, don't they get the joke
I won't fear the reaper, when the curtain falls
I'm not vegetating, waiting for the call
I don't like sitar, it don't touch guitar
Wake up to the future, you should make your plans
Dreams are made in heaven, life is in your hands
Life is in your hands
Life is in your hands
Life is in your hands

A shake of the tin
The money drops in, but is it a sin
You're standing in rags
You're selling your flags
But who gets the dough at the end of the day
We saw your drop-dead fancy wheels
Your little house up on the hill
But when your conscience pricks
A little sacrifice sweetens the pill
So keep your hands in your pockets
Charity begins at home
Keep your hands in your pockets
Charity won't leave you alone
We take to the stage
The audience rave, we're doing our bit
A heavenly cast, a blast from the past
There's a song to be sung, will it make number one
We wanna see your money roll
But our eyes are on the hall of fame
`cos business is business
And hits are the name of the game
So keep your hands in your pockets
Charity begins at home
Keep your hands in your pockets
Charity won't leave you alone
Everywhere that we turn
There are mouths to be fed
How can we sleep
The battle goes on while we're
Safe in our beds
So don't turn away
No don't turn away
Your doors are locked
You switch on the box to take in a show
You think that you're safe
But here comes that face
And wouldn't you know it's that message again
They want to take your plastic cash
Your hand reaches out to the phone
Keep your hands in your pockets
Charity begins at home
Keep your hands in your pockets
Charity begins at home
Keep your hands in your pockets
Charity won't leave you alone
Everywhere that we turn
There are mouths to be fed
How can we sleep
The battle goes on while we're
Safe in our beds
So don't turn away
No don't turn away
Keep your hands in your pockets
Charity begins at home
Keep your hands in your pockets
Charity won't leave you alone
(repeat 5x)

I could see that the sun it was deadly
She's putting her hand in the fire
Her velvety skin it was cooking
Lily white, lily white turning to raspberry
But when she slips in between the sheets tonight
The memory will linger and burn
And when she look at the face in the mirror
What a terrible sight
Lily white turning to raspberry
(when it burns you rub on the lotion
If it stings you sit in the ocean, oh no)
Les nouveaux riches, when they
Tres fatigue they fly, off to the sunshine
They set jet away, they don't
Get a kick, they don't get a buzz man
They, talk in circles, they not for us oh
Les nouveaux riches, when they
Tres fatigue they fly, off to the ocean
They hot foot away, they don't
Get a buzz, they don't get a kick
Man they, talk in circles
They must be thick, a say tick dem
A tick tick tick-a
I could see that the guys were a hassle
She tried to handle them cool
But her interbreeding was showing
Tumbling out on the banks of the old
Swimming pool, oh oh oh
So she buried her fears in a bottle
The juices beginning to flow
But her stiff upper lip it was trembling
Tripping her up, her words were beginning to roll
Hush your mouth, you can't fool the natives
Telegraph, they's going to relay it, oh no
Les nouveaux riches, when they
Tres fatigue they fly, off to the sunshine
They set jet away, they don't
Get a kick, they don't get a buzz man
They, talk in circles, they not for us oh
Les nouveaux riches, when they
Tres fatigue they fly, off to the ocean
They hot foot away, they don't
Get a buzz, they don't get a kick
Man they, talk in circles
They must be thick, a say tick dem
A tick tick tick-a
I remember the tears in her eyes
She tried to hide them away
But her time it was going too quickly
Just another few days, she'll soon be flying away
But her memory will stay here forever
A time she will never forget
All the sun and the sand and the water
Such a beautiful place, she never got her feet wet
No way, she keeping a cool head
She got a tan, from under the sun bed, oh no
Les nouveaux riches, when they
Tres fatigue they fly, off to the sunshine
They set jet away, they don't
Get a kick, they don't get a buzz man
They, talk in circles, they not for us oh
Les nouveaux riches, when they
Tres fatigue they fly, off to the ocean
They hot foot away, they don't
Get a buzz, they don't get a kick
Man they, talk in circles
They must be thick, a say tick dem
A tick tick tick-a

Here on the street
Feeling the cool of the dawn
Shuffling feet
Faces are ragged and worn
They've been working all night
Waiting for the curtain to rise
While you're under the sheets
You with the stars in your eyes
Letter box noise
Snapping the day into life
Newspaper boys
Cutting the mist like a knife
We're beginning to rise
Curtain up the drama begins
It's the start of the race
All of us wanting to win
People rushing shouting pushing
Got no time for conversation
Inner city population
The struggle for communication
People trying pressure rising
Hook and hustle flex your muscle
It's all part of living
Do you wanna get away
Restaurant smells
Mix in the heat of the day
Telephone bells
Kissogram girls on her way
Someone's thinking of you
Birthday boy is in for a treat
And the message is clear
Once a year life can be sweet
Caught in a flash
Cover girl freezes her smile
Media trash
Blinding the crowd with such style
It's a dazzling affair
A fantasy to star in your dreams
Do you want to believe
Everyone knows what they've seen
Twilight time in the city
And the shutters are down
That's when the singles are lost in their doubles
The happy hour comes round
To help you unwind in the shadows
Takes the tension away
It's been a hell of a day in the city
Now it's your time to play
Living under pressure
Do you wanna buy a dream?
I say phil can you get it he say
Alright alright alright
Tell me when can i get it he say
Tonight tonight tonight
I want money on delivery hey
That's right that's right that's right
I say baby don't you trust me he say
The city's a jungle where the strongest survive
Neonic heat
Flooding the darkness with light
The capitol beats
Feeding the pulse of the night
It's the music of life
Listen to the sound of the crowd
Where the rhythm's so strong
And the music is playing so loud
Where the rhythm's so strong
And the music is playing so....

You ask me what's it like now
I've got no woman - don't ask
You ask me how's it feel to be alone
You've got no one - don't ask
I'll tell you what's the story
Who's the judge and who's the jury - the past
Don't ask me what it's like to be alone at night
I hear a tapping on the wall
(i hear you knocking but ya)
I calm myself by leaving on the bathroom light
I know there's no one out there
But that don't really help at all
So tell me what's it like now
You got nobody - don't ask
Who looks after your health
I do it myself
How do you survive
I'm staying alive
Who looks after your home
I do it on my own
And how do you sleep
I sleep alone
Nobody told me that i had to live this way
Yea i could really have a ball
(you keep a knocking but ya)
But if i can't have you i'd rather stay this way
And live in hope that maybe
One day you'll take the time to call
So tell me what's it like now
You've got no woman - don't ask
Who looks after your health
I do it myself
How do you survive
I'm staying alive
Who looks after your home
I do it on my own
And how do you sleep
I sleep alone
I'll tell you what it's like now
I got no woman - don't ask

Bluebird take me on your wing
Teach me how to fly
Teach me how to sing
Bluebird, guardian of my soul
Inside everybody
Is a story to be told
I came in from the cold
When i found someone
Strong enough to bear
The strain of our existence
And troubles everywhere
But time heals
And i know you'll be there... ooh
Bluebird a symphony in flight
Symbol of the dawn
Symbol of the night
I'll try with all my might to be your brother
Always there for you
Mother (mother, mother) knowing what to do
And farther than anyone has flown
Courage to spread your wings alone
And who will help me?
Bluebird
Bluebird stranger to these shores
I look into your eyes
Have you been here before
Take me through the door to heaven
And show me
The treasures that you keep
The magic of the sky
And the beauty of the deep
And i'll do what i have to do
To be one of the chosen few
Fly anywhere with...
You, bluebird
Bluebird, bluebird (yeh)

Who's that creeping out of my back door
Don't say he's collecting for the poor
Don't you tell me you're not having fun
The green eyed monster's got me on the run
Phones keep ringing but there's no one there
You never told me why you changed your hair
Someone else's lotion on my side of the mattress
Green eyed monster's got me by the niagra's
Don't think i'm mad, it's paranoia
(i want what you got)
I'm sad, you're glad
(i want what you got)
I'm hungry for your love
Say the word, give me fever
(you got what i need)
Keep those goodies for me
Midnight shopping is a funny thing
But i'm not laughing, you don't wear your ring
You spend a fortune but your cupboard's bare
The green eyed monster's got his home in there
Somethings cooking at the laundromat
Dirty washing, i'm not having that
Fifteen visits and my threads are bare
The green eyed monster leaves me in despair
Don't think i'm mad, it's paranoia
(i want what you got)
I'm sad, you're glad
(i want what you got)
Hungry for your love
You say, the word, give me fever
(you got what i need)
Keep that something for me
What the hell is happening here
The more i get to know
I find out how much i don't know
Who can i turn to now
When everything i touch
And everything i see
Seems to crumble into dust
You put the evil eye on me
Green eyed monster's driving me insane
And jealous lovers play a deadly game
My fire is burning but you're as cold as ice
The green eyed monster throws a loaded dice
Who's that creeping out of my back door
Don't say he's collecting for the poor
Don't you tell me you're not having fun
The green eyed monster's got me on the run
The green eyed monster's got me on the run
The green eyed monster's got me on the run

Baby baby baby don't hurry
You've got your finger on me
Don't let go, no no no
I know you love it
It's running through my veins
You drink me dry
You take so much of me
And when you touch me
I see the magic in your eyes
And i can't move (i'm going under)
One kiss, i know, that i'm with you
Forever
Baby baby don't make me worry
You only live for the night
It's not right, no no no
But in the morning
You seem to disappear
Here come the night
You seem to reappear
Is this a warning?
I've got a feeling you're not
Telling me the truth (you cast no shadow)
One kiss, i know, that i'm with you
Forever
Strange lover, pale as the moon
You've no shadow, no face in the mirror
No complection, no reflection
Baby baby baby you're freezing
You send a shiver through me
I'm so cold, no no no
The day is dawning
We're moving underground
I must go with you
I start to realise
Your touch is deadly
I wanna look away
But i can't look away
I'm in your power and i'm lost

You never asked me to love you
I did it all by myself
You didn't make me no promises
You read my feelings so well
Chorus
Oh wow wow what you've done for me
Oh wow wow even a fool could see
Oh wow wow what you mean to me
You didn't ask no questions
I wouldn't tell you no lies
I didn't need any answers
They were there in your eyes
Don't stop me from falling
I can't get enough
You took the pain from my body
Now i'm ready for love
Yes i am
I've been alone in the shadows
Too many nights by myself
So many dreams have been shattered
You know the story so well
Chorus
I didn't see no fireworks
And the earth never moved
But when we're lying together
I've got nothing to prove
You gave me your kisses i can't get enough
You put the fire in my heart
And i'm ready for love
Yes i am
People try to analyse
They worry is it right
But it really doesn't matter to me
There's no reason when you really fall in love
`cause you can't stop it
Won't drop it
Don't even think about it
Hold on tight and never let it go
Chorus
You took the pain from my body
And i'm ready for love
You took the pain from my body
And i'm ready for love
Yes i am ready for love
Yes i am ready for love
Yes i am ready for love
Yes i am

Inside my loneliness and sorting through the mess
I came across a bunch of snaps and letters
I found an eight by ten, taken god knows when
It took me back to when we found each other
How did i let it start
If i could only remember
Oh, oh, why did i break your heart
The tender parts we played
I thought we had it made
The recipe for life, the perfect fusion
But when the love turned sour
I found the happy hour
But drinking for the world is no solution
How did i let it start
If i could only remember
Oh, oh, why did i break your heart
Can't we go back to the start
I needed someone to tell me
Why did i break your heart
The cost of loving is a heavy burden
Somebody's gotta take the strain
The things we said would make a cover story
But who's gonna say
Who should take all the blame
We analysed ourselves
It didn't really help
No one to referee, no rhyme no reason
I thought we had the best
But when you flew the nest
My heart decided it was open season
How did i let it start
If i could only remember
Oh, oh, why did i break your heart
Can't we go back to the start
I needed someone to tell me
Oh, oh, why did i break your heart
Why did i break your heart.....

The hands on the clock seem to stick to the face
But the seconds are turning to minutes
And minutes to days
I try not to look at the grin on it's face
But i know that it knows that i gotta get out
Of this place
Time to close the day
Time to lock the door
Time to greet the street
I'm so happy i'm walking on air
People staring but i don't care
Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi
Don't take the subway don't go that way
`snot a safe way don't go that way
Gotta cross town don't want trouble
Got to get there on the double
She'll be waiting i'll be running
She'll be thinking i'm not coming
I can't wait to talk to you
Tell you what i'd like to do
We'll find a little restaurant
A little vino for the ambiance
In the candlelight we're holding hands
Time flies when you really
Don't want it to
The waiters are staring at me
But i've only got eyes for you
Leave us alone we don't wanna go home
Put your chairs on the tables
We can let ourselves out when you've gone
Time to take your home
Time to say goodnight
We don't wanna part
Let's be together tonight
Let's be together tonight
Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi
Don't take the subway don't go that way
`snot a safe way we'll go our way
Gotta cross town back to my place
Pull the shades down screw the rat race
We're alone now undercover
Hang the sign out don't disturb
Now i'm really close to you
Tell you what i want to do
I wanna take you to a tropical place
Beneath the stars i'll see the love in your face
In the pale moonlight
We're holding hands
Following the footprints in the sand
It's been a hell of a day in the city
Now it's time to get away

We came across from korea
We braved the wind and the rain
We came a thousand miles just to be here
And you want to send we back again
We crossed malaysian waters
We sailed the south china sea
We stopped at singapore and jakarta
And you want to send we back to sea
Don't send we back, have mercy upon us
We know you don't want us but we've got no one
Don't send we back, we've run out of water
We won't last the morning in the baking sun
The indonesian islands
We stopped at every one
As for the philippines we tried `em
And you want to turn our boat around

It doesn't help you if you scream and shout
That isn't what this thing is all about
And do you really want to fight to win
You're missing out and that's another sin
Your dream of power is a sacrifice
Do you really want to pay that price
Just think about it and you'll change the pace
Look in the mirror tell me who do you face
Who is that?
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop
Nobody loves you if you moan all day
So take it easy then you'll get your way
You ain't no dummy and i'm sure you know
You know it's better if you let it go
You're in control if you let it go
You're feeling better when you let it flow
You never really had to catch the moon
You're better jumping to another tune
So let's jump
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop (do, do, do it)
I've got it all but it's not enough
I keep thinking "boy i feel so rough
This can't be me, i'm such a happy guy"
I laugh a lot but i want to cry
A cry for help is just letting go
It hurts a lot but i think i know
It's time for change i don't need the hype
It's time for change and the time is ripe
So let's go
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop...

Let's stay a while and watch him
He's moving into action man
He's looking good but maybe
He's in the wrong direction man
But he wanna get a little, get a little
Every night, get a little, get a little
Something for his appetite
Everybody needs to have a recreation
Everybody needs a little comfort for the soul
You'll never make it in a motown suit
No way to fake it man they're not your roots
No, you'll never make it in a motown suit
You can't be a drummer without rhythm
Can't blow your horn if you ain't blue
Some folks they just ain't got it in `em
Tell me boy now does that sound like you
He's cruising with the singles
Down the margarita bar
He's boring to distraction
Pushing words and talking stars
(what's your sign)
He's gotta take a little, take a little
On the side, make a little, make a little
Something for his appetite
Everybody needs a little lubrication
Someone with imagination got to break the ice
You'll never make it in a motown suit
No way to fake it man they're not your roots
No, you'll never make it in a motown suit
You can't be a lover without rhythm
Don't blow your horn if you ain't true
No point in playing valentino
He's a sham and brother so are you
You can't be a drummer without rhythm
Can't blow your horn if you ain't blue
Some folks they just ain't got it in `em
Tell me boy now does that sound like you

This boy he's a midnight driver
High roller and a soul survivor
She tried to send him on his way
He say, hey, i wanna stay
If you don't mind i'm hanging around
This girl's on the road to nowhere
She wouldn't say but another day there
It's not the role she's decided to play
She say, hey, don't wanna stay
There's no reason for hanging around
Take me where i wanna go running
Where the sea rushes up to the shore
It's a lonely place but i need the space
Want to let my feelings soar
Help me find the key to my prison
I've waited long enough to be free
I love you but i'm not really living
It's now how i want it to be
Listen, i know what she's like she's just a dreamer
But i'll win in the end i'm a schemer
Give her time she'll be on the phone
She's never gonna make it alone
Better leave the door on the latch
She'll soon be hurrying home
Oh mother, it looks like i'm in for stormy weather
So i'd better get my story together
Got to make it good she's no fool
I'll take her in my arms, i'll be cool
Don't want to get her upset
I wanna make her forget
Take me where i wanna go running
Where the sea rushes up to the shore
It's a lonely place but i need the space
Want to let my feelings soar
Help me find the key to my prison
I've waited long enough to be free
I love you but i'm not really living
It's now how i want it to be
This girl's she's a real survivor
She don't believe in the midnight driver
So she's starting a brand new day
She say, hey, don't wanna play
It had to stop, so i'm going away
I'm going away
I'm going away

You're through gestation so welcome to the world
We've still got vacancies just waiting to be filled
We're still delivering ten thousand souls a day
And disproportionately packing them away
The starving of the multitudes and the feeding of the few
We're only humanoid there's nothing we can do
You must do something or we'll all go up in smoke
We'd like to help but we're afraid of losing votes
They never listen to you
They never listen to your cries
We're not progressing we're only marking time
You're on your own
Think of your children
Think of your children
Are they welcome to the world?
If every chinaman jumped up and down in sync
Then california would be sucked into the drink
You've all got bodies and a few of you got minds
We'd like to juse them but we never get the time
Though man's achievements are a credit to us all
How come we're stading with our backs against the wall?
One thousand congressmen assemble every day
They'll send us packing on a dreadlock holiday
They'll never listen to you
They'll never listen to your cries
They'll keep on talking and wasting precious time
You're on your own
Think of your children
Think of your children
Look to your children
They're only children
Are they welcome to the world?

See the monkey peel the onion
See the monkey cry
He can feel his tears are flowin'
But he don't know why
He continues peeling faster
`til the onion is no more
Now at last his cryin's over
But all he had is gone
Whatever for
You and i are always chasing
Wild ambitions and far off dreams
As we run in all directions
Nothing's quite the joy it seems
If i tell you that i love you
Don't ask how much
And don't ask why
Have no doubt and ask no questions
Just believe it's not a lie
Never take my love for granted
But never put it to the test
Like the monkey and his onion
Too much investigation
You know the rest
You and i are always chasing
Wild ambitions and far off dreams
As we run in all directions
Nothing's quite the joy it seems
On that we could be contented
With the good things that we've gained
But in the end we're empty handed
Just because we need the world explained

I checked into the room and i checked the view
And then i locked and chained the door
I had time to kill i had space to fill
Like a prisoner on the floor
But then the silence broke, there's a woman
Screaming down the hall
And i wondered what was going on
Here at the notell hotel
So i killed the light and i slipped the chain
Took a peek into the hall
I was just in time to see the waiter trip
And drop the dinner on the floor
But the bellboy smiled as the elevator started to fall
And i wondered what was going on
Down at the notell hotel
Ooh, i love a mystery (cover up and intrigue)
Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything i see
Ooh, how i love a mystery (turned up raincoats)
Secret agents, waiting for the missing clue
At a rendezvous
I heard the sound of feet and i looked out to
Meet a girl i knew i'd seen before
She had the kind of looks, you see in dirty books
And she was dripping on the floor
She was taking a shower when someone tiptoed in
And turned out the lights
It's gonna be one of those nights
Down at the notell hotel
I took her into my room and picked the lock on the bar
To get a drink to calm her down
Then the mirror cracked as the window shook
And the table turned around
And when i grabbed at the phone
There was a voice at the end of the line
"is that 1059? is anything wrong, is there anything wrong"
Here at the notell hotel
Ooh, i love a mystery (cover up and intrigue)
Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything i see
Ooh, how i love a mystery (turned up raincoats)
Secret agents, waiting for the missing clue
At a rendezvous

I've been thinkin' writin' you a letter
Maybe telegram would be better
I'll be worried how it's gonna get there
So i go and change my mind
Need a little time to chew it over
But every day i grow a little older
Got de devil sittin' on me shoulder
Gonna make me change my mind
Got me drinkin' even got me smokin'
Got me sinkin' nearly got me chokin'
What'll you do in the morning
What'll you do in the morning
When i'm gone
Thought i'd better have me a vacation
Got my ticket made my reservation
Want my name address and occupation
So i go and change my mind
How'm i ever gonna say goodbye
How'm i ever gonna go to sleep at night
How'm i ever gonna close my eyes
How'm i ever gonna sleep alone at night
