It was January 1963
When Johnny came home with a gift for me
He said I bought it for you because I love you
And I bought it for you cause it's your birthday too
He was so very nice, he was so very kind
To think of me at this point in time
I used to think of him, he used think of me

He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
But I saw tears were in his eyes

I don't know if I told you
But I'm seeking sanctuary
You'd never guess the things that I do
I've had the devil around for tea

Don't you know that I'm here beside you?
Can't you see that I can't relax?
When I saw you in my rear view
You could have stopped me in my tracks

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night, it'll be alright

How does it feel to treat me like you do
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, how do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say

We're like crystal, we break easy
I'm a poor man if you leave me
I'm applauded, then forgotten
It was Summer, now it's Autumn

I don't know what to say
You don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage
with a girl I betrayed
Here comes love, it's like honey
you can't buy it with money
you're not alone anymore
shock me to the core
you shock me to the core

We're like crystal, it's not easy

Help me, somebody help me
I wonder where I am
I see my future before me
I'll hurt you when I can

It seems like I've been here before
It seems like I've been here before
It seems like I've been here before
It seems like I've been here before

Confusion sprung up from devotion
A halo that covers my eyes
It sprung from this first estrangement
No one have I ever despised

You're much too young to be a part of me
Too young to get a hold on me

Hey, you know I've met a lot of cool chicks
But I've never met a girl with all her own teeth
That's why I love you babe
That's why we could be
But you're too young, too young

The past doesn't matter, the past doesn't matter
The past doesn't matter, the past doesn't matter

Hey, sophisticated lady

(It's only one more day)

Can you wait
My plane will be arriving shortly
Right there at the gate
I pray that you'll be waiting right there for me

This time could be what
We've both been searching for
Our whole lives waking up
And coming back for more

(Ana Matronic: Leave your baggage behind, you won't need it tonight, enjoy your flight)

J-E-T (J-E-T)

Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
It ain't the way it has to be

But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we're living in today
Isn't where you wanna be
And isn't what you wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)

Listen, I may be wrong but you're missing
There's something wrong you could say
Ruined in a day
You could be the lover of jade
Forever on your own in the shade
Let's do it anyway

Some people like to deceive you
While others may feel that they need you
While I do the best that I can
Keeping my life in my hands

And if you feel your cradle rocking
Then take the wheel, don't let me stop you

that's the way - shellshock
hold on! it's never enough
it's never enough until you heart stops beating
the deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

you call me on the phone, you left me all alone
all i get from you is shellshock
another day goes by and all i do is cry
all i get from you is shellshock
i'd tell the world and save my soul

Once in a while I need a friend
So why won't you let me recover
It's just a moment in your life
But sometimes we divide each other

Maybe we could find a time
Eliminate what's on your mind
We'd do everything we could
Our presence in the neighbourhood

We could break every rule
Anytime we wanted to
Don't be afraid to live this way
Let's defend the things we say

I want to be up in the air

You can walk or you can run
You don't have to be someone
I went on a summer cruise
Upon an ocean born to lose
My brother said that he was dead
I saw his face and shook my head
Can you see where we can be
We're losing our blood in the sea

Cause it's the state of the nation, state of the nation
That's holding our salvation
Yes, it's the state of the nation, state of the nation

I like walking in the park
When it gets late at night
I move round in the dark
And leave when it gets light
I sit around by day
Tied up in chains so tight
These crazy words of mine
So wrong they could be

What do I get out of this?
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself

A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like the feeling inside, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me

A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like the feeling inside, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me

I stood there beside myself
Thinking hard about the weather
Then came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his guilt
I said let's go out and have some fun

I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love

I have always thought about

I've watched your face for a long time
It's always the same
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
Well, now you live your life like a shadow
In the pouring rain
Oh, it's called love
Yes, it's called love
Oh, it's called love
And it belongs to us
Oh, it dies so quickly
It grows so slowly
But when it dies, it dies for good
It's called love

I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face
I couldn't look at you
I guess you knew it
But I never realized that we were through
And I'm down here all alone with every feeling that I own
You can't take that away
And with every breath we take
And the illusions we create will come to you someday

And I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was

What does this ship bring to me
Far across the restless sea
Waiting for the sirens call
I've never seen it here before

There she plies(?) the lonely trail
Getting through the breaking winds
Drifting slowly from the coast
She is lost forever more

We all want some kind of love
But sometimes it's not enough
To the wall and through the door
With a stranger on the shore

Express yourself
Create the space
You know you can win
Don't give up the chase
Beat the man
Take him on
You never give up
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
You can't be wrong
When somethings good
Its never gone

Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I can't believe its true
