Different Light lyrics

(A. Chilton)
Michael

September girls
Do so much
And for so long
'Til we touched
I love you, boy
Never mind
I've been crying
All the time

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad

September girls
I don't know why
How can I deny
What's inside
Even though I
Keep away
They will love
All our days

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad

(V. Peterson/S. Hoffs)
Vicki

I see you in a different light
I see you in a different light

I wanna make a movie
I wanna put you on the silver screen
Sit in a darkened room and look at you from a distance

Wanna write a novel
Freeze all your expressions into words
Come back later and read about what I should have heard

I see you in a different light

(J. Shear)
Susanna

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her

But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants

(M. Steele)
Michael

You think I'm crazy or something
Always following you around
You say I'm a hopeless case
Run an obsession into the ground

You call me a loser
You call me a shadowing fool
Look over your shoulder
And you say I'm haunting you

So why do you call me
Why do you look for me
Why do your eyes follow me the way they do

You hold me responsible

(D. Peterson/S. Hoffs/V. Peterson/D. Kahne)
Debbi

Standing in the hallway
Trouble coming my way
He called me on the telephone
Guess I'm gonna be alone

Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a puzzle
In this great big world
I'm good to you but you're bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery

Tried to do it your way

(S. Hoffs/D. Peterson/V. Peterson/M. Steele)
Bangles

One thing or another
Your head is filled with questions, sights and sounds
Distractions always get you down
Turn around

Trying to remember
Where you were the day before
North and south and east and west
Where to go

When it's over
When it's done
Let it go

Frightened by the numbers
All the possibilities

(L. Sternberg)
Vicki, Michael, Susanna

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say

(D. Peterson/S. Hoffs/D. Kahne)
Debbi

Busted down and broken
All in two
But you never thought
This could happen to you

Wake up, stumble
Trip and fall
You had so much
And now you've lost it all

How could you do it
It's not like you
To be the one to lose
Why did you do it
It's not like you
But I'll be around for you

Such a sad and sorry
Twist of fate

(V. Peterson/S. Hoffs)
Vicki

I saw you today
She's lovely
You're such a heavenly pair
You hope and you pray
Someday she'll take you all the way there

You should know better, darling
When push comes to shove
Angels don't fall in love

You stand at the gate
Hoping to gain admission
How long are you willing to wait
She won't give permission tonight

(V. Peterson/S. Hoffs)
Vicki

Writing the lines as they come to me
Scratching them out almost immediately
Don't know what it's done to me

It's cold and it's wet it's been raining all night
And there's a letter I've been trying to write
Something better waiting somewhere for me

One of them is sitting on the wrong coast
One awaits an answer by return post
Waiting, waiting

(Christopher)
Susanna

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream

But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
