TO THE MOON AND BACK
(5:41)
She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying
"Mama never loved her much" and
"Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kinda pilot to come
And she'll say to him
She's saying
"I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we all belong
So would you be my baby?"
She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was colour blind
All her friends
Well, they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined, oh
She's saying
"Love is like a barren place and
Reaching out for human faith is
It's like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So baby gonna take a dive
And push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
She's saying
"I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we all belong
So would you be my baby?"
Oh, hold on
Oh, hold on
"Mama never loved her much" and
"Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kinda pilot to come
And she'll say to him
She's saying
"I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we all belong
So would you be my baby?"
-------------------
I WANT YOU
(3:52)
Anytime I need to see your face
I just close my eyes and I am taken to a place
Where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings take up shelter
In the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try and explain I just hold on tight
And if it happens again I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face
Of the human cannonball
That i need to, I want to
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh, I'm dying to find out
I'm the kind of person who endorses
A deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect is what I live for
But a look then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor
And i don't know what I'm in for
Conversation has a time and place
In the interaction of a lover and a mate
But the time of talking using symbols using words
Can be likened to a deep-sea diver
Who is swimming with a raincoat
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh, I'm dying to find out
Anytime I need to see your face
I just close my eyes and I am taken to a place
Where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings take up shelter
In the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try and explain I just hold on tight
And if it happens again I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face
Of the human cannonball
That i need to, I want you
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh, I'm dying to find out
So can we find out?
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you but (So why can't we find out?)
Ooh, I'm dying to find out
-------------------
TRULY MADLY DEEPLY
(4:38)
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful cos I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining brightly
In the velvet sky
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
And make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the
Pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort
And protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Oh, can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
Cos it's standing right before you
All that you need will surely come
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do, ooh
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
-------------------
TEARS OF PEARLS
(3:47)
And we stare each other down
Like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness
And hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it
Oh, we do it
Is love really the tragedy
The way you might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers
Still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry
These tears of pearls
All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
We keep locked away from all the world
Your kisses are like pearls
So different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away
And love has left you bare
Made you cry
The tears of pearls
Well, I could be the tired joker
Pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness
Just so I could win
Maybe cry
These tears of pearls
All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
We keep locked away from all the world
We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten twice removed
Love will be the death
The death of you
All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
We keep locked away from all the world
-------------------
UNIVERSE
(4:20)
Well I'd like to take you as I find you
Imagine our clothes are on the floor
Feel my caress so soft and gentle
So delicate you cry for more
But you know baby
You know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right
Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know
So can be free, baby
You wanted it so much
And now that it's over
You don't know what you want
Put time in a capsule
Two minds consensual
Entwined to perfection
If we could
Cuddle up close
Lay on my chest now
Listen, my heartbeat's coming down
If you get tired, you close your eyes now
When you wake up, I won't be found
Coz I know baby
I know you're the nervous kind
With so much going on in your mind
Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know
So can be free, baby
You wanted it so much
And now that it's over
You don't know what you want
But let me tell you that, this time,
I'm gonna make you mine
(I won't let you go)
Coz I know, this time
I'm gonna make sure I look out for me
Coz you know baby
You know baby does it right
You know baby does it right
You will only end up lost in loneliness
And wake up with the words already on your lips
So I'll let you go, baby
So I'll let you go
Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know
So can be free, baby
You wanted it so much
And now that it's over
You don't know what you want
-------------------
CARRY ON DANCING
(3:45)
The moonlight
Shines down interstellar beams
And the groove tonight
Is something more than you've ever seen
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing
You're never safe till you see the dawn
And if the clock strikes past midnight
The hope is gone
To move under
The moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing
...Move. Closer. Passion. Stronger.
There's a magic only two can tell
In the dark night
Ultra violet is a wicked spell
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing

[KNOCK KNOCK]
[VOICES]
If there's a way that you could be everything you want to be
Would you complain that it came too easy?
Just like the games with you and me, a resolution hard to see
But that's ok coz I don't see things that are plain to see
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
You wanna give ecstasy delivered with certainty
But you're afraid that the pleasure won't be needed
But in a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies
If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
(Oh oh oh oh) Let your body move into the doorway
(Oh oh oh) To the disco inside your head (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) Wear a colour that you want to cling to
(Oh oh oh) The colour inside your head (Violet)
Contemplate jealousy intermixed with urgency
A million things take a damned good shot at you and me
If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
(Oh oh oh oh) Let your body move into the doorway
(Oh oh oh) To the disco inside your head (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) Wear a colour that you want to cling to
(Oh oh oh) The colour inside your head (Violet)
(Dance) to the disco
(Dance) to the disco
(Dance) to the disco
(Dance) to the disco
I'm gonna take you
I'll do my best to break you
I'm gonna take you higher
And that's no lie
Common sense is a game many people don't like to play
But give it in and the moment takes you either way
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
(Oh oh oh oh) Let your body move into the doorway
(Oh oh oh) To the disco inside your head (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) Wear the colour that you want to cling to
(Oh oh oh) The colour inside your head (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) Let your body move into the doorway
(Oh oh oh) To the disco inside your head (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) Wear a colour that you want to cling to
(Oh oh oh) The colour inside your head (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) If there's a way that you could be anything you want to be
(Oh oh oh) Would you complain that it came to you too easy? (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) In a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
(Oh oh oh) that would carry all our (Violet) fatasies
-------------------
BREAK ME SHAKE ME
(3:23)
I never thought I would change my opinion again
But you moved me in a way that I've never known
You moved me in a way that I've never known
But straight away you just moved into position again
You abused me in a way that I've never known
You abused me in a way that I've never known
So break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
So you're the kind who deals with the games in the mind
You confuse me in a way that I've never known
You confuse me in a way that I've never known
So break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
She says, "I can help you, but what do you say?"
Because it's not free baby, you have to pay
You just keep me contemplating
That your soul is slowly fading
God, don't you know that I live with a ton of regret
Coz I used to move you in a way that you've never known
But then I accused you in a way that you've never known
But you hurt me in a way that I've never known
So break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
So break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Listen, baby
You'll be, you'll be alone
Break me, shake me, hate me, take me, make me
Fake me, break me, shake me, hate me, take me, make me
Break me
-------------------
A THOUSAND WORDS
(4:00)
We stumble in a tangled web
Decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid
All hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes
So take all this noise into your brain, send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then
I'll say the words out loud
You can resurrect a thousand a thousand words
To decieve me, more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why
I don't need you anymore, oh
Time manipulates your heart
Preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract convictions read
I may perplex, but I'm not blind
So take all this noise into your brain, send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then
I'll say the words out loud
You can resurrect a thousand a thousand words
To decieve me, more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why
I don't need you anymore
I'll say the words out loud
I'll say a thousand words or more
Manipulation - fabrication - conversation - annihilation
I'll say a thousand words or more
Damnation - frustration - elevation - procreation
I'll say a thousand words or more
You can resurrect a thousand a thousand words
To decieve me, more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why
I don't need you anymore
-------------------
PROMISES
(3:31)
Well don't you know I need I little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becomming hunted
Everyday there's a million advances
Don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
Well don't you know that
Time is a broken glass
That splinters against the wall?
But the picture's coming back now baby
And I wanna take it all
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king
And a time to be a thief
Coz if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief
And your fallen king will end up alone
So let your body move a little bit closer
Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
Don't you know that powerful thinking
Can be the force you don't wanna relinquish?
Well don't you know that
They say that hanging on
Will only justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom
Don't share a common phrase
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king
And a time to be a thief
Coz if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief
And your fallen king will end up alone
Well I'm only hanging on for what goes down, baby
I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade
So don't you, don't go making it harder than hell
(Don't go making promises, don't go making promises)
Coz when it comes down to the making
You better be damned sure you can take it
Hey, baby
(Don't go making promises, don't go making promises)
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king
And a time to be a thief
Coz if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief
And your fallen king will end up a fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool,
Oh baby, coz I told you baby
-------------------
SANTA MONICA
(3:33)
In Santa Monica, in the winter time
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from
The coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable
Everywhere you turn it's there
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I can be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
In Santa Monica, all the people got
Modern names like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard
You'll have to dodge those in-lane skaters
Or they will knock you down
I never felt so lonely
Never felt so out-of-place
I never wanted something more than this
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I can be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
See, on the telephone line I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I can be a caped crusader or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
Or would you?
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I can be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
See, on the telephone line I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I can be a caped crusader or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?

I WANT YOU
(3:52)
Anytime I need to see your face
I just close my eyes and I am taken to a place
Where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings take up shelter
In the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try and explain I just hold on tight
And if it happens again I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face
Of the human cannonball
That i need to, I want to

Ooh, I want you

(Oh oh oh) The colour inside your head (Violet)
Contemplate jealousy intermixed with urgency
A million things take a damned good shot at you and me
If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
(Oh oh oh oh) Let your body move into the doorway
(Oh oh oh) To the disco inside your head (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) Wear a colour that you want to cling to
(Oh oh oh) The colour inside your head (Violet)
(Dance) to the disco
(Dance) to the disco
(Dance) to the disco
(Dance) to the disco
I'm gonna take you
I'll do my best to break you
I'm gonna take you higher
And that's no lie
Common sense is a game many people don't like to play
But give it in and the moment takes you either way
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
(Oh oh oh oh) Let your body move into the doorway
(Oh oh oh) To the disco inside your head (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) Wear the colour that you want to cling to
(Oh oh oh) The colour inside your head (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) Let your body move into the doorway
(Oh oh oh) To the disco inside your head (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) Wear a colour that you want to cling to
(Oh oh oh) The colour inside your head (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) If there's a way that you could be anything you want to be
(Oh oh oh) Would you complain that it came to you too easy? (Violet)
(Oh oh oh oh) In a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
(Oh oh oh) that would carry all our (Violet) fatasies

BREAK ME SHAKE ME
(3:23)
I never thought I would change my opinion again
But you moved me in a way that I've never known
You moved me in a way that I've never known
But straight away you just moved into position again
You abused me in a way that I've never known
You abused me in a way that I've never known
So break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
So you're the kind who deals with the games in the mind
You confuse me in a way that I've never known
You confuse me in a way that I've never known
So break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
She says, "I can help you, but what do you say?"
Because it's not free baby, you have to pay
You just keep me contemplating
That your soul is slowly fading
God, don't you know that I live with a ton of regret
Coz I used to move you in a way that you've never known
But then I accused you in a way that you've never known
But you hurt me in a way that I've never known
So break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
So break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Listen, baby
You'll be, you'll be alone
Break me, shake me, hate me, take me, make me
Fake me, break me, shake me, hate me, take me, make me
Break me

A THOUSAND WORDS
(4:00)
We stumble in a tangled web
Decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid
All hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes
So take all this noise into your brain, send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then
I'll say the words out loud
You can resurrect a thousand a thousand words
To decieve me, more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why
I don't need you anymore, oh
Time manipulates your heart
Preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract convictions read
I may perplex, but I'm not blind
So take all this noise into your brain, send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then
I'll say the words out loud
You can resurrect a thousand a thousand words
To decieve me, more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why
I don't need you anymore
I'll say the words out loud
I'll say a thousand words or more
Manipulation - fabrication - conversation - annihilation
I'll say a thousand words or more
Damnation - frustration - elevation - procreation
I'll say a thousand words or more
You can resurrect a thousand a thousand words
To decieve me, more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why
I don't need you anymore

PROMISES
(3:31)
Well don't you know I need I little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becomming hunted
Everyday there's a million advances
Don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
Well don't you know that
Time is a broken glass
That splinters against the wall?
But the picture's coming back now baby
And I wanna take it all
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king
And a time to be a thief
Coz if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief
And your fallen king will end up alone
So let your body move a little bit closer
Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
Don't you know that powerful thinking
Can be the force you don't wanna relinquish?
Well don't you know that
They say that hanging on
Will only justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom
Don't share a common phrase
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king
And a time to be a thief
Coz if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief
And your fallen king will end up alone
Well I'm only hanging on for what goes down, baby
I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade
So don't you, don't go making it harder than hell
(Don't go making promises, don't go making promises)
Coz when it comes down to the making
You better be damned sure you can take it
Hey, baby
(Don't go making promises, don't go making promises)
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king
And a time to be a thief
Coz if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief
And your fallen king will end up a fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool,
Oh baby, coz I told you baby

SANTA MONICA
(3:33)
In Santa Monica, in the winter time
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from
The coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable
Everywhere you turn it's there
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I can be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
In Santa Monica, all the people got
Modern names like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard
You'll have to dodge those in-lane skaters
Or they will knock you down
I never felt so lonely
Never felt so out-of-place
I never wanted something more than this
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I can be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
See, on the telephone line I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I can be a caped crusader or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
Or would you?
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I can be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
See, on the telephone line I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I can be a caped crusader or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
