Rio
|
|
Moving on the floor now, babe, you're a bird of paradise Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west You know you're something special and you look like you're the best Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twisting through a dusty land And when she shines, she really shows you all she can Oh Rio, Rio, dance across the Rio Grande I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV Two of a billion stars, it means so much to me Like a birthday or a pretty view But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twisting through a dusty land And when she shines, she really shows you all she can Oh Rio, Rio, dance across the Rio Grande Hey now, look at that, he nearly run you down At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive You make me feel alive, alive, alive I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side I tell you something, I know what you're thinking I tell you something, I know what you're thinking Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twisting through a dusty land And when she shines, she really shows you all she can Oh Rio, Rio, dance across the Rio Grande Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand And I might find her if I'm looking like I can Oh Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande |

My Own Way
|
|
I saw you at the air race yesterday April showers get out of my way Fear of flying, no, not me I'm never bothered, what you say Someone's kid just lives for today It ain't your problem anyway 'Cause I've got my own way I can find my own way 'Cause I've got my own way Number one Public figure, what a pain Just puts another rattle in your brain Take another green, but it's not the same So now you're on the Sandlane everyday Dancing with the bulls in any old way Running like a fox to keep up with me 'Cause I've got my own way I can find my own way 'Cause I've got my own way 'Cause I've got my own way I can find my own way 'Cause I've got my own way |

Lonely in Your Nightmare
|
|
Even on the darkest night when empty promise means empty hand And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red When the lights of hope are fading quickly then look to me I'll be your homing angel, I'll be in your head Because you're lonely in your nightmare, let me in And there's heat beneath your winter, let me in I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin Please, tread gently on the ground when all around you earth turns to fire Only get a second chance when danger's on the wind Because you're lonely in your nightmare, let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in Must be lucky weather when you find the kind of wind that you need Come on show me all the light and shade that made your name I know you've got it in your head, I've seen that look before You've built your refuge, turns you captive all the same Because you're lonely in your nightmare, let me in And it's barren in your garden, let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in Because you're so lonely in your nightmare, let me in And it's cold out on the stone range, let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in |

Hungry Like the Wolf
|
|
Dark in the city, night is a wire Steam in the subway, earth is afire Woman you want me, give me a sign And catch my breathing even closer behind In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt, I'm after you Smell like a sound, I'm lost in a crowd And I'm hungry like the wolf Straddle the line in discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt, I'm after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I'm hungry like the wolf Stalked in the forest, too close to hide I'll be upon you by the moonlight side High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt, I'm after you Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found And I'm hungry like the wolf Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme I howl and I whine, I'm after you Mouth is alive, all running inside And I'm hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Burning the ground, I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt, I'm after you I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found And I'm hungry like the wolf Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt, I'm after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I'm hungry like the wolf |

Hold Back the Rain
|
|
We're miles away from nowhere And the wind doesn't have a name So call it what you want to call it Still blows down the lane And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame Hold back the rain No time for worry, 'cause we're on the roam again Hold back the rain The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane Hold back the rain Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain Okay, go off and wander I'm guilty just the same Sometimes you're needed badly So please, come back again And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame Hold back the rain No time for worry, 'cause we're on the roam again Hold back the rain The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane Hold back the rain Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain Hold back the rain Hold back the rain Hold back the rain And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame Hold back the rain No time for worry, 'cause we're on the roam again Hold back the rain The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane Hold back the rain Not on your own, so help me, please, hold back the rain Hold back the rain Hold back the rain Hold back the rain |

New Religion
|
|
I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I know Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs and things Telling me not there man, it's no go I need a reason, I can't think without one now Too much learning got to show Call it treason, maybe catch her don't know how Too many things too much to know I'll bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind Lady screaming, lady leave me out 'Cause sometimes people stare, sitting down, an electric chair And steaming crowds they gather and they shout Don't know why this evil bothers me - Take another chance boy, carry the fight - you can take him if you're fast So why is he trying to follow me - Didn't I say if you're holding on - you'd be laughing at the last How many reasons do they need - I get along fine with them friends of mine - but you have to make a choice I might just believe this time - You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time - and it's us who make the noise I'm talking for free I can't stop myself, it's a new religion I've something to see I can't help myself, it's a new religion Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun But someone sees the departmental lie You know this peace time, jabbing fist in stabbing knife Only get one look before you die Don't know why this evil follows me - Take another chance boy, carry the fight - you can take him if you're fast So why does he try to bother me - Didn't I say if you're holding on - you'd be laughing at the last How many reasons do they need - I get along fine with them friends of mine - but you have to make a choice I might just be right this time - You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time - and it's us who make the noise I'm talking for free I can't stop myself, it's a new religion I've something to see I can't help myself, it's a new religion Gotta take pay for the saints and sinners In regulation hats and scarves and things Walking in formation down the lane They carry their cross like a church bell ring Army majors pull a mean cool truth They're lying in a swimming pool Searching for the undeniable truth That a man is just a fool Don't know why this evil follows me - Take another chance boy, carry the fight - you can take him if you're fast So why does he try to bother me - Didn't I say if you're holding on - you'd be laughing at the last How many reasons do they need - I get along fine with them friends of mine - but you have to make a choice I might just be right this time - You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time - and it's us who make the noise I'm talking for free I can't stop myself, it's a new religion I've something to see I can't help myself, it's a new religion |

Last Chance on the Stairway
|
|
I don't remember quite how I met you, wasn't long ago Just get a picture of sun in your eyes, the waves in your hair Maybe it's something said in a movie or you could've said last night Just took me out on a limb and I don't really know what I'm doing here And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide My beat's so in time, can you look at me I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right I've had my last chance on the stairway Funny it's just like a scene out of Voltaire, twisting out of sight 'Cause when all the curtains are pulled back we'll turn and see the circles we've traced Ain't no game, when you're playing with fire It doesn't seem right that we fight, so the party runs on all night And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide My beat's so in time, can you look at me I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right So nervous to say, tell me can't you see And if you want I'll fall out forever I can't say no more, baby, dance with me And please don't say leave it till later I've had my last chance on the stairway Wonder why, what makes me rise so high Maybe it's something they put in your perfume or the look in your eyes It could be the atmosphere sinking, I don't know what you're thinking I don't even know what you're drinking, but it keeps this heaven alive And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide My beat's so in time, can you look at me I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right So nervous to say, tell me can't you see If you want I'll fall out forever I can't say no more, baby, dance with me And please don't say leave till later I've had my last chance on the stairway Last chance on the stairway Last chance on the stairway |

Save a Prayer
|
|
You saw me standing by the wall, corner of a main street And the lights are flashing on your window sill All alone ain't much fun, so you're looking for the thrill And you know just what it takes and where to go Don't save a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after Feel the breeze deep on the inside, look down into the well If you can you'll see the world in all his fire Take a chance, like all dreamers can't find another way You don't have to dream it all, just live a day Don't say a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Pretty looking road, I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise, melt the ice And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance, but fear is in your soul Some people call it a one night stand, but we can call it paradise Don't say a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save a prayer 'til the morning after Save a prayer 'til the morning after |

The Chauffeur
|
|
Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving All looking for a new place to drive You sit beside me so newly charming Sweating dewdrops glisten, freshing your side And the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Way down the lane away, living for another day The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze Swim, seagull in the sky, towards that hollow western isle My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze And the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Sing, Blue Silver And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind To tear out from your eyes, with a thought to stiffen brooding lies And I'll only watch you leave me further behind And the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind The front of your dress, all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Sing, Blue Silver Sing, sing, Blue Silver (There's more to this kind of camouflage) (More than just colour and shape) (Who's going now, in to a classiomatic?) |
