Baby, I’ve got a one-way ticket to nowhere.
Ain’t got hundreds, so I count money in this chair.
Exit, stage right. Baby, I get stage fright,
And my baby runs this show and she’s got a big share.

Sold my car and I got no transport in this town.
One night, baby, you’ll look for me. I won’t be around.
Exit, stage right. Baby, I get stage fright,
And my baby runs this show and she’s got a big share.

There’s a law in what we do.
We got a quest for something new.
Everything you witness seems to let you down.

If someone gets you from behind.
I got an open mind.
And you’ve been thirsty for the friend you found.

Close your eyes and make a wish.
I don’t wanna mess with mother nature.
(Knowing that you’re mine.)
You said I could see
you with another and we all get satisfied.

It’s a form of evolution,
it’s a kind of moving on,
an eternal source of pleasure,
in being the one.

When your love is for the giving,
it’s a case of destiny.

You know we look for the same insane games.
Got to be commital to be a little deviation.

So I get all wound up inside.
I can see your scene unwind.
You dance together or you dance alone.

And leave the real world in the air.
Love it in leather I don’t care.
Everything is legal in the danger zone.

Close your eyes and make a wish.
Later we could cater to the animal.
(Knowing that you’re mine.)
It’s straight in my face.
You and your lover and the brain is paralyzed.

It’s a form of evolution,
it’s a kind of moving on,
it’s a cycle of emotion,
in being the one.

In the storm of revolution,
what is done can be undone.
You know we look for the same insane games.
Got to be commital to the subtle variations.

It’s a form of evolution,
it’s a kind of moving on,
it’s a cycle of emotion,
in being the one..

If your love is for the giving,
it’s a case of destiny,
and you can find your source of pleasure

There was a little girl I planned to marry,
if this was my love I didn’t want to share it.
I thought that love would make my life bright and sunny,
but she said she could not love me ‘cause I didn’t have no money.

Every day I have to cry so,
drying the water from my eyes so,
till the clouds slowly pass by (?)
every day I have to cry.

I got me a girl,
I guess I really love her,
‘cause every night now I’ve been thinking over.
But you can’t live all your love this morning,
but if you do it’s gonna hurt somebody.

Every day I have to cry so,
drying the water from my eyes so,
till the clouds slowly pass by (?)
every day I have to cry.

and so I know she’s just a poor girl
if she found a love it’s because she’s not a rich girl
but every time you reach love this morning
every time you gonna hurt somebody.

Every day I have to cry so,
drying the water from my eyes so,
till the clouds slowly pass by (?)
every day I have to cry.

I can’t imagine.

Live in everlasting love.
Make believe heaven ain’t enough.
Picture you and picture me.
You can’t run till I set you free.

In the power, feed the fire.
Follow you and you follow me.

You can turn the tide
on your own.
In the magic night
you have flown.
When you break away
you will find.

Cool night,
warms a heart of stone.

Live in everlasting love.
Make believe heaven ain’t enough.
Picture you and picture me.
You can’t run till I set you free.

Where you are you can see the loneliness I mean.
And if I gotta fight, I will never play somebody’s else’s game.
I can follow the evening star.
Starlight, you never need somebody else’s name

Have you ever known a sunset when the sky’s on fire?
How you end another day, boy?
You been seaching to far.
Like the desert I rode on any memory is lost in the restless wind.
I just lie beneath the evening star.

Put your money on a good night.
If you never been there it’s a sight for sore eyes.
If you wanna see the wonders of the age.
Making love beneath the evening star.

Dark is the night, high is the fire,

I am in your mind’s eye, just let your dreams run wild.

Somewhere, out across the nation,
someone, waiting in the shadows,
listen, I don’t wanna hear
“return to sender”
calling. I can see the future,
someday, signal with a single motion
show me you believe in someone, somewhere.

Oh baby, you give me,
you give me the runaround,
just another night with you,
you’re on my mind.
And we got love,
and love’ll take you higher and higher and higher,
higher and higher.

It’s over and done
but the heartache lives on inside.
And who’s the one you’re clinging to
instead of me tonight?

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I’ll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart.

In the words of a broken heart
It’s just emotion that’s taken me over.
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul.
But if you don’t come back,
Come home to me, darling,
You know there will be nobody left in this world to hold me tight
You know there will nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.

I’m there at your side,
I’m part of all the things you are (aaah).
But you’ve got a part of someone else,
You’ve got to find your shining star.

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I’ll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart.

In the words of a broken heart
It’s just emotion that’s taken me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul (Baby, I’m lost in your soul)
But if you don’t come back,
Come home to me, darling,
Dont you know there’ll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (aaah).

In the words of a broken heart
It’s just emotion that’s taken me over
tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul.
But if you don’t come back,
Come home to me, darling
You know that there will be nobody left in this world to hold me tight (nobody nobody)
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight (aaah)

I don’t know what you want, I don’t hear what you said.
Truth behind the lies.
‘Cause I can’t see what’s in your head.
And spread your wings and fly, out in a brave new world.
Let this be my prayer, to keep you safe when I’m not there.

Can we love and live apart?
I don’t know, no, I don’t know.
How can we divide the heart?
I don’t know, no, I don’t know.

And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace.
And in the cold night, under the street light,
I long for your embrace.

Living separate lives, I have faith in you, away from you (I have faith).
Like a lonely child, I will hang on every word.
Embrace.

Through the mists of time, lovers can be friends.
The power of the human heart.
The secrets in the souls of men.
All my blessings in disguise.
I don’t know, no, I don’t know.
Reunited we will rise.
I don’t know, no, I don’t know.

And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace.
And in the cold night, under the street light,
I long for your embrace.

Living separate lives, I have faith in you, away from you (I have faith).
Like a lonely child, I will hang on every word.

And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace.
Another daybreak, another heartache,
I long for your embrace.

Living separate lives,
away from you.
Embrace, embrace.
The lonely, lonely life.
Lonely days and nights (away from you).
We can live our life
(embrace, embrace)
with our separate lives.
Embrace, embrace.
The lonely, lonely lives.
Lonely days and nights.
I will never send away.
Embrace, embrace.
The lonely, lonely lives.
Embrace the child inside
the lonely, lonely lives.

When the summer day is over
Its busy cares have flown
I will sit beneath the starlight
With a weary heart alone

Then it rises like a vision
Sparkling bright it shines for me
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea

Let me hear the ocean murmur
Let me watch your stormy sky
Then above the emerald waters
Sings the seagull as she flies

Then it rises like a vision
Sparkling bright it shines for me
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea

And in all my times of sorrow
And on some lonely shore
I’ll go back to Ellan Vannin
To my childhood days once more

I’m sorry to say, I’m going away.

Goodbye Elisa.

All the love of my mother, I offer to you.
And I’ll try so very hard, to get you through.
If lay down my life, for my king and country men.
Would it change you for the better?
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night.

If I gave up the cause, what would you give me
to make up for all the things that I would lose?
If I lay down my life, for my king and country men,
would it change you for the better?
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night.

Well you better get busy, get it over and done.
I was here when you arrived, I’ll be here when you’re gone.
If I give up my life for my king and country men.
Would it change you for the better?
It better be all right
To be never like people
Afraid of the night.

Now I look out on forever
and it must be nice down there.
And they call me Shenandora in the air.

Well, I’m ten feet tall, but I’m only three feet wide.
And I live inside an ocean that flows on the other side.
If I came back down tomorrow,
would it all be far too soon?
And it looks like it’s gonna be a lovely afternoon.

I thought that I was going home,
and all the way I kept on praying.
I couldn’t stop to turn around;
well, here I am and here I’m staying.

It’s been my longest journey and I’ve come through the black of night.
I was tired and hungry when I saw your distant light.
Well, I know this may sound crazy,
but I’m sure I got here first.
I’m just me, Shenandora, at the edge of the universe.

    Animal stalking you at night.
I’m a sucker for someone
And I got the prey in sight
Lying on a bed of leaves
In the modern times
You forget and let your spirit breathe.

Capture me my blood is red
Another victim of your ritual
For you my skin is shed
Ecstacy ain’t what you find
In the modern world
One flick of my tongue changes
The meaning of the world
And you say

That’s impossible
That’s not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be

I don’t wanna get eaten alive
‘Cause you’re so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don’t wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don’t ever wanna be
Eaten alive

Now I got you on the run
And the quicker my senses
And the chance is, I’m the faster one
I know the universal law
Primeval times
With a little stimulation
It’ll come once more, and you say

That’s impossible
It’s not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be

I don’t wanna get eaten alive
‘Cause you’re so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see
I don’t wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don’t ever wanna be
Eaten alive

I don’t wanna get eaten alive
‘Cause you’re so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see
I don’t wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive

Tie me to a tree, crawl all over me
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt
I will be your slave, anything you say
I don’t ever wanna be eaten alive

I don’t wanna get eaten alive
‘Cos you’re so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don’t wanna get eaten alive
‘Cos you’re so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don’t wanna get eaten alive

Girl, where did you come from?
If heaven is the place then can I go?
I’m feeling you just for me,
my earth angel.

I saw you standing there on a sunny day,
feeding all the birds as the children played.
Had my heart beating, sweat racing,
had me losing my mind.

You made me stand up straight,
get my act together,
find the words to say
and not scare you away.
Only question that I have
is where you’ve been hiding.

Girl, where did you come from?
If heaven is the place then can I go?
I’m feeling you just for me,

If I wasn’t awake,
I would think I was dreaming.
You’re the kind of girl
only heaven would imagine.
Classy, no nonsense,
soft as a cloud after the rain.

Just like a rose, girl,
your beauty is supreme.
Like a cool glass of water
on a summer’s heat.
You’re refreshing, tasty.
I know the good lord sent you to me.

Girl, where did you come from?
If heaven is the place then can I go?
I’m feeling you just for me,

Girl, where did you come from?
If heaven is the place then can I go?

Did I imagine you girl, or are you real?
You got me in a daze,
spinning around like a top.
I don’t know who you are baby,
but I’m glad that you’re here now.
You can be the one
to take me my freedom away.

Girl, where did you come from?

I walk the lonely streets,
I watch the people passing by.
I used to smile and say hello.
Guess I was just a happy guy.

Then you happened, girl,
this feeling that posessses me.
I just can’t move myself.
I guess it all just had to be.

I can’t see nobody… no,
I can’t see nobody.
Mine eyes can only look at you… you.

I used to have a brain,
I used to think of many things.
I watched the falling rain
and listened to the sweet birds sing.

Don’t ask me why, little girl.
I love you and that’s all I can say.
You’re every, every breath I take.
You are my nights; my night and day.

I can’t see nobody… no,
I can’t see nobody.
My eyes can only look at you… you.

Every single word you hear
is coming from this heart of mine.
I never felt like this before
a love like yours so young and fine.

And now as I try to forget you
it doesn’t work out any way.
I lost you such a long time ago
but in my eyes you’ll always be.

Every single word you hea
is coming from this heart of mine.
I lost you such a long time ago
don’t know why.
And I don’t know why, baby.

There’s a light,
a certain kind of light
that never shone on me.
I want my life to be lived with you,
lived with you.
 
There’s a way, everybody say,
to do each and every little thing.
But what does it bring
if I ain’t got you, ain’t got?
 
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like.
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
to love somebody,
to love somebody,
to love somebody
the way I love you.
 
In my brain
I see your face again.
I know my frame of mind.
You ain’t got to be so blind.
And I’m blind, so very blind.
 
I’m a man,
can’t you see what I am?
I live and breathe for you.
But what good does it do
if I ain’t got you, ain’t got?
 
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like.
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
to love somebody,
to love somebody,
to love somebody
the way I love you.
