Dancing in the Moonlight: The Best of Toploader

A friend I had once told me
Such an unusual story
That other men did breathe in
But never did breathe back out

This tale reminds me of you
Although a different shade of blue
You've gotta always take, and never give
This is not how to live

You've gotta breathe in and out
You've gotta spread a little love around

Although I don't know this for sure
It's just another knock at my door
Thinking of amusing all things that never did
And ill tell you when I find out
And show you what it is to breathe out
'Cause natural progression
Lends the lesson of your mind

You've gotta breathe in and out
You've gotta spread a little love around
You've gotta breathe in and out
You've gotta spread a little love around, oh

And I'm feeling you
Another way to be
Yeah yeah yeah
And I'm watching you
Breathe over me yeah yeah yeah
Breathing

I could tell the jack and ourie
Into this unusual story
It's a breath upon the window pain
So come on step out of the rain, yeah yeah
Though id like to think its the truth
You've become a deeper shade of blue
And in my eyes this comes as no surprise
There's nothing left for you, no

You've gotta breathe in and out
You've gotta spread a little love around
You've gotta breathe in and out
You've gotta spread a little love around, oh

Breathe in and out
You've gota breathe in and out

Breathe in and out
You've gotta breathe in and out

Breathe in and out
You've gotta breathe in and out

You've gotta
Breathe

The high flying bird flies above
You cannot see him from the earth
He sees as he flies
And knows as he sees
The masses below
There's trouble below

This high flying bird has no sense of time
For a thousand years he's climbing the skies
His brothers have burned
Flown too close to the sun
But higher and higher
This white bird flies
This white bird flies

I feel you in my sleep
When the suns down
And the world sleeps below
You call across endless oceans
I hear you and want to fly too

There's no turning back as blue becomes black
The air becomes thin this flight begins
But the bird can still breathe
Brighter than before
On celestial wing
This bird can now sing
This bird can now sing

I feel you in my sleep
When the suns down
And the world sleeps below
You call across endless oceans
I hear you and want to fly to

When and why did they lie
Under the same roof
Neither knows what to say
Made his plans in his life
Not according to his wife
Tried so hard to explain to her
So lonely

I'm a hero underground, another year another pound
Everything is just the same
Nothing ventured nothing gained
All you hear is the sound of the hero underground

This is life black and white
Under a grey sky
Waiting for his moment to come
When he dreams the colours bleed
Red, Gold and Green
Tried so hard to remain and sleep
So lonely

I'm the hero underground
Another year another pound
Everything is just the same
Nothing ventured nothing gained
All you hear is the sound of the hero underground

When and why did they lie
Under the same roof
Neither knows what to say
Made his plans in his life
Not according to his wife
Tried so hard to explain to her
So lonely

I'm the hero underground
Another year another pound
Everything is just the same
Nothing ventured nothing gained
All you hear is the sound of the hero underground
So lonely

He's the hero underground
Another year another pound
Everything is just the same
Nothing ventured nothing gained
All you hear is the sound of the hero underground

When and why did they lie
Under the same roof
Neither knows what to say

once upon a time a child heard a line
that moved him
the child never grew the line it came true
and all around
inside dreams it stays
dormant through these days
that follow
reminded only by the saddest lullaby
that was whispered

you've got to lie down for a while
this will pass its only mild
you've got to ease your mind
for a while

i know ill never be able to be free
from these memories
have love in life the same
embrace it every day
that it comes to you

you've got to lie down for a while
this will pass its only mild
you've got to ease your mind
you've got to ease your mind for a while
lie down for a while
this will pass its only mild
you've got to ease your mind for a while
only for a while
only for a while
only for a while

We get it almost every night
When that moon is big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark, and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep 'em tight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

We get it almost every night
When that moon is big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Sitting in the summer sun
Binding my time
Waiting for the demons to go away
No one knows when they come
Or when they're gonna go away
As long as they do were OK, yes were alright

[Chorus]
Cause I had the time of my life
Show me some love tonight
You know I'll treat you right
Cause I had the time of my life

Woke up in the morning rain
God knows were I slept again
No recollection of the night
Oh God what's this I see lying next to me
With a smile on your face
Were alright, yes were alright

[Chorus]

oh yeah yeah
Yeah Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah were alright, yeah
Yes were alright

[Chorus: x2]

I had the time [Repeat: x4]
I had the time of my life
I had the time [Repeat: x4]
I had the time of my life
