Take me to the subway,
ooh, take me to the subway.
 
It ain’t far away,
but the night is mine, like it fine, gonna stay,
see you in the morning,
gotta rush,
get a bus, make a fuss,
gimme some loving in the morning.
 
Ooh, she makes me feel so good,
instant reaction and ready for love.
I got no work, no sweat, no strain,
I got to make it to the midnight train,
so take me to the subway.
Ah
Ooh take me to the subway.
 
Ooh, city life is bittersweet,
I don’t care, take me there on the street,
freedom in the city.
Gotta ride,
going down underground, watch me slide,
loving in the city.
 
Ooh, she makes me so complete,
heavy in love and light on my feet, I got
no work, no sweat, no strain,
I got to make it to the midnight train,
so take me to the subway.
Ah
Ooh take me to the subway.

    You may be someone else’s sweetheart
Fighting someone else’s war
And if you suffer for the millions
Then it’s what you’re fighting for

Someone believes in only light of day
Someone strong enough to show the way
Someone everyone believes in
Someone who…  will stand by you

And I will be your heart and mind
My love is on the line
I know it’s how I’m gonna stay
For a stranger in a strange land
Far away

And love will make your spirit shine
I feel your hand in mine
I write a letter every single day
To a stranger in a strange land
Far away

May we share the most tomorrows
I will hear you when you cry
Should we let it come between us?
Never knowing how we live or die

I will walk you through the pouring rain
I will help you learn to live and love again
Give’em hell before you go to heaven
But send you home again

And I will be your heart and mind
My love is on the line
I know it’s how I’m gonna stay
To a stranger in a strange land
Far away

And somewhere in the lonely night
Your flame is burning bright
I know it’s how I’m gonna stay
For a stranger in a strange land
Far away

And just to see your spirit shine
To feel your hand in mine
I write a letter every single day
To a stranger in a strange land
Far away
Oooh
Far away

Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can you see me,
see me at all?
 
Do you know me?
Can you show me?
If you hear me,
don’t let me fall.
Is it raining in the sunshine
and the wind blows in my eyes.
Lying face down to the hard ground
I can face the cloudy skies.
And although I may be dying, I will bide my love,
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting,
I’ll be waiting in the storm.
 
You were my girl in the springtime,
with the sunshine in my day.
Your sweet lips, your fingertips
and you touch me but you won’t stay.
 
Is it raining in the sunshine
and the wind blows in my eyes.
Lying face down to the hard ground
I can face the cloudy skies.
And although I may be dying, I will bide my love,
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting,
I’ll be waiting in the storm.
 
Can you hear me?
Are you near me
in the storm?

From daybreak to sunset
you are the heart of me,
saying what you don’t really mean.
 
Now I know where you go
and all the plans you made,
playing for a love, not a dream.
 
All that I want is you now,
and somehow I let you down.
Lost in my pain,
that’s where I lie.
 
You got to
stop, think again,
before you give it to him.
Stop,
baby, one of us
got to lose.
 
You gotta stop, think again,
before you lose the heaven.
Stop,
baby one of us gotta try.
 
Oh, it’s a great big world
that we live in.
Pleasure and pain,
that’s where I lie.
 
You got to
stop, think again,
before you give it to him.
Stop,
baby, one of us gotta try.
 
Midnight you leave me
taking the part of me
that loves you like he loves you,
only more.
 
Birds cry, my sky falls.
Darkness becomes my life.
He got you.
I got nothing to be living for.
 
Oh, it’s a great big world
that we live in.
Pleasure and pain,
that’s where I lie.
 
You got to
stop, think again
before you give it to him.
Stop,

 Still waters run deep.
Just remember when we lie to each other.
No one wins and losers weep.
Reflection will show
this connection, we can lean on each other,
this is all we need to know.
 
Now I admit I’ve been a fool sometimes.
I believe I may be losing you.
It’s now or never, we talk before a tear is shed.
Under your spell and over my head.
 
You took me in your arms and you told me
we don’t need to worry, but you,
you never say you’re sorry.
 
Keep this love alive for us, it’s all I feel.
How can we survive if we change what is real?
 
Still waters run deep,
just remember when we lie to each other.
No one wins and losers weep.
 
Reflection will show
this connection, we can lean on each other,
this is all we need to know.
 
I see the angel and the devil in your heart.
I confess, either one is my addiction.
And where you’re leading me
I don’t have the will to fight.
Out of the darkness and into the light.
     
But living in your arms, I can take it.
Please don’t make me shiver.
I know together we deliver.
 
Let the gods decide
who finds the sweetest thrill.
Who can justify the truth?
God, I love you still.
 
Still waters run deep.
Just remember when we lie to each other.
No one wins and losers weep (losers weep).
 
Deception will show
it’s a struggle when you’re starved for affection (ah),
this is all we need.
 
Oooh
Don’t let him get too close to you.
(you’ve got a stranger on your mind).
The dream is free.
I know I’m only human ifI cry
(Or maybe we should kiss and say goodbye).
 
Ah. Girl. I love you still.
 
Still waters run deep.
Just remember when we lie to each other (ah).
No one wins and losers weep (no one wins).
 
Deception will show (show)

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm,

And now it’s all right, it’s OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand

Well now, I get low and I get high,

Now she didn’t get off to a very good start.
And she tangled with love.
And he broke her heart.
In a crumbling home had shown the childhood dreams were never real.
 
I came along, she was seventeen,
with the sun in her eyes and you know what I mean.
She grew up too soon in the shade of my love.
She taught me how to feel.
 
Loving each other was never enough.
She was watching me grow and she wrote it up
in a book of life she gave to me the day the white ship sailed.
 
Farewell my darling, au revoir.
I will pray every day for you, oh.
 
And she would stay alone
while I’m away.
She wouldn’t walk
all alone in the city without me.
 
She would stay alone.
She wouldn’t play
in the dark
with this love inside
my heart.
 
I came home on a summer night
and the wind in her hair
and she looked just right.
There was never another kind of woman could see right through my soul.
 
Suddenly after the southern rain,
she rode out of my life on the midnight train.
And I fell to the ground.
And the world became the last place I should be.
 
Wandering I will wait for you,
for the sound of your voice.
The dreams that you make.
The book of life you gave to me still keeps my flame alive.
 
Nobody knows which way I’m going.
But I only search for you.
 
So won’t you stay alone (stay alone)
while I’m away (while I’m away).
If we both walk in the same direction,
maybe my eyes will see you one day.
 
Stay alone (stay alone),
and may your dreams come to be
all your love inside of me.
 
Stay alone.
Ah. Ah.

So wonderful for you.
That makes you happy.
How wonderful to see

So wonderful a dream.

Do something for your love

Body moves,
changes her position

She don’t care.
She got no competition.
She plays that game
that only she can win.

We go alone.

Faster than lightening is this heart of mine.
In the face of time I carry on.
I’d like to take you where my rainbow ends.
Be my lover friend.
We go alone.
Never before

I am your hurricane,
your fire in the sun.
How long must I live
in the air?
 
You are my paradise,
my angel on the run.
How long must I wait?
It’s the dawn of the feeling
that starts from the moment you’re there.
 
You’ll never know what you have done for me.
You broke all those rules I live upon.
I’d like to take you to my shangri-la,
neither here or far,
away from home.

I heard that it existed, but I
never thought that it’d be my destiny
to fall for one so deeply,
alright.

Girl, you are a blessing, so I’m
treading oh very carefully
just to see you there is enough for me.
Ah.

There you go, so precious,
so graceful, baby. I surrender.
You love me perfectly,
you’re loving me.

Others may come,
I ain’t searching for no one.
You are my very own angel here with me.
Oh baby.

I’ve always tried to stop myself from
falling victim of love.
Only brings you pain.
For some reason now
I’m not afraid, oh no, no.

You showed me the love to be embraced,
to accept it and don’t run away.
Girl, it’s so easy with you here by my side.
Let you inside.
You’re my world and my pride.

There you go, so precious,
so graceful, baby. I surrender.
You love me perfectly,

You are my very own angel here with me.
Oh yeah.

I’m so grateful for what God has done,
created my one and only,
someone, someone.
And you’re like a miracle,

So I’m here explaining

The sun shines down on a South Dakota morning,
and I can see their faces in my eyes.
I wish they were behind me.
My enemy can find me
if only to remind me
that I’m really not alone.
All the South Dakota mornings I have known.
 
The eagle flies on a South Dakota morning,
and I don’t see my eagle anymore.
Now, stranger, I must kill you.
You must survive but will you.
I may just beat you down,
but will it even up the score?
I think I saw the eagle just once more.
 
The rain comes down on a South Dakota morning,
and I can’t see the sadness in my town.
So let it be my pillow
for underneath your willow.
Wanna go back to you though you’re nothing but a town
on the South Dakota grass I lay me down.

Watch me writhe in agony.

You wanna spread your wings and fly

It wasn’t how you laughed
that taught me how to cry.
Convincing me your heart is

You came along when I was down

All the love I ever had cannot
replace the things you did.
I’m still in love with you and

I gotta try, gotta try,
gotta try, gotta try.
 
Someday I’m gonna win
and get back to your arms.
And here am I alone
with a memory of you.
Trying hard to be, someone I ain’t.
 
We held it in, we gave it out.
There wasn’t any quarter.

I know how I feel,
lonely in the black of night.
There can be no love for me now.
Nobody listens when the words ain’t right.
 
And you get into someone else.
It’s hard for me to know
who’s lovin’ who,
 
and where do I stand,
what did I do it all for.
There’s no one I could love more.
I did it for your heart alone.
 
All that I try to be growing inside to me.
I can be strong if you’re there.
 
And there is someone belonging to someone.
And I got no one belonging to me,  me.
 
I’m caught in a world where the face of an angel
is all that a fool can see.
You got the power to find me whenever I’m lost.
 
Where are you? Who are we, we?
 
I believe in time.
Can eat away a heart of stone.
And baby, if I leave you too late,
it’s just a feather and the bird has flown (in your eyes).
 
It’s colder when the fire dies,
with all the trouble I’m in if I lose you too.
 
Then what is my life
if I don’t wanna go through
anything without you?
Couldn’t be a life at all.
      
I could be lying on.
You are the only one.
We didn’t make it by chance.
 
And there is someone belonging to someone.
And I got no one belonging to me.
 
I’m caught in a world on the edge of tomorrow.
It’s all that a fool can find.
I don’t belong in the arms of a love that is lost.
 
Nowhere to cry.
There must be something we can say, my love,
something except goodbye.
 
Then what is my life
if I don’t wanna go through
anything without you?
Couldn’t be a life at all.
 
I could be lying on.
You are the only one.
We didn’t make it by chance.
 
And there is someone belonging to someone
And I got no one belonging to me.
 
And there is someone belonging to someone (someone belonging to me)
And I got no one belonging to me (no one belong, no one belong, ah)…

I arise,
try to see my face through my disguise.
And on the balcony
I knew inside of me it will be done.

Somebody stop the music.
Somebody stop the tune.
Somebody crown the clown with the red balloon.

Somebody stop the music.
Somebody stop the tune.
Somebody crown the clown with the red balloon.

I arose,
the truth will out the more I see it grows.
It’s not a mystery,
no one was hiding it from me.

Somebody stop the music.
Somebody stop the tune.
Somebody crown the clown with the red balloon.

Somebody stop the music.
Somebody stop the tune.
Somebody crown the clown with the red balloon.

Don’t love ya, baby don’t love ya.
Don’t love ya, baby don’t love ya.
Don’t love ya, baby don’t love ya.
Don’t love ya, baby don’t love ya.
Don’t love ya, baby don’t love ya.

Yeah, today I saw the sun, the sun.

 I memorise, I walk in line,
carry my sacrifice for the sake of the millions.
All night you be the light on the water,
you be the pride and the sorrow,
shower your love to me there.

Summer died before the rain,
unify every soul together be lonely.
Ride on, follow me to the sunrise,
save me the world that is broken,
nothing but love to be there.

Soldiers, father and son,
we’re soldiers, nowhere to run,
we fight or we die,
for what are we living for?
Boys never cry.

Soldiers, mother and child,
we’re soldiers, the meek and the mild,
we stand or we fall.

Never mind, dry your eyes,
you’ll never be far away,
forever beside me.
Hold out, I will be your tomorrow,
I will walk through the fire,
nothing but love to be there.

Soldiers, father and son,
we’re soldiers, nowhere to run,
we fight or we die,
for what are we living for?
Boys never cry.

Soldiers, mother and child,
we’re soldiers, the meek and the mild,
we stand or we fall.

I’m a little misunderstood,
living all the daydreams and nightmares
don’t do me no good.
I’m a little bit on the moon
but when the word is you love me
no moment is too soon.

All night give me the light on the water,
give me the pride and the sorrow,
shower your love to me there.

Soldiers, father and son,
we’re soldiers, nowhere to run,
we fight or we die,
for what are we living for?
Boys never cry.

Soldiers, mother and child,
we’re soldiers, the meek and the mild,
we stand or we fall.

Soldiers, father and son,
we’re soldiers, nowhere to run,
we fight or we die,
for what are we living for?
Boys never cry.

Soldiers, mother and child,
we’re soldiers, the meek and the mild,
we stand or we fall.
For what are we living for?
Boys never cry.

Soldiers, father and son,
we’re soldiers, nowhere to run,
we fight or we die,
for what are we living for?
Boys never cry.

Soldiers, mother and child,
we’re soldiers, the meek and the mild,
we stand or we fall.
For what are we living for?
Boys never cry.

Soldiers, father and son,
we’re soldiers…
