She walks in the room
And checks out the faces
We think she's all the seven wonders of the world
But there's a sadness
Hidden in the bizarre
Moonlight and madness
Living in a bell jar

She dresses in black
'Cause sorrow is a magnet
Everything comes to her like it was meant to be
But she's frustrated
Leaving things as they are
What she created
Living in a bell jar

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
It's just another manic Monday

Know, you gotta know
Is that yourself or nothing at all
Oh, you think you live
Well how can you, when you're stuck in four walls

If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life you've been locked in you room
You've never had a chance to roam
Away from home

So, you come and go
Well good day, don't waste anytime
Oh, your life today

I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James

It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice

Oh, James
Letting me down again, James

Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feeling somewhat surprised

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
(She don't want to sort it out)

The hero is exposed when
His crimes are brought to the light of day
Won't be feeling sorry, sorry, sorry
On the judgement day

Wasn't it me who said
There'll be a price to pay

And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no

Your mother told you stories
You substitute with girls who tell you more

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame

I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame

Say my name, sun shines through the rain

Valerie is beautiful
But she seems a little bit confused
The life you offer her she says
She cannot use

You live in another world
She thinks she won't fit in
And oh, what about her plans for him
She bends to his will

Hey, you better listen
'Cause I'm warning you
Love is never simple
With a complicated girl

You call her on the phone
She's got the other guy on hold

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
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
