She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night She was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight I could feel her coming from a mile away There was no use talking, there was nothing to say When the band began to play and play
And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance And we danced and danced and danced
I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall She could dance all night and shake the paint off the wall But when I saw her smile across a crowded room Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon As the band began to play out of tune
And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance And we danced and danced and danced
The endless beat, she's walkin' my way Hear the music fade when she says Are we getting too close, do we dare to get closer The room is spinning, she whispers my name And we danced...
Give me what you can tonight Time is all we have to play Tell me you can't live without me Tell me every day by day by day Nothing lasts forever, only fades away Day by day
Give me what you can tonight I'm back tomorrow anyway Show me some appreciation Show me every day by day by day The chance you gotta take's the price you gotta pay Day by day
And if you break down, I will remind you Of what you were yesterday You can break down, I'll be behind you Day by day
Holy Moses met the Pharaoh Yeah, he tried to set him straight Looked him in the eye "Let my people go"
Holy Moses on the mountain High above the golden calf Went to get the Ten Commandments Yeah, he's just gonna break 'em in half
All you zombies, hide your faces All you people in the street All you sittin' in high places The pieces gonna fall on you
No one ever spoke to Noah They all laughed at him instead Working on his ark Working all by himself
Only Noah saw it coming 40 days and 40 nights Took his sons and daughters with him Yeah, they were the Israelites
All you zombies, hide your faces All you people in the street All you sittin' in high places The rain's gonna fall on you
Holy Father, what's the matter? Where have all your children gone? Sitting in the dark, living all by themselves You don't have to hide anymore
All you zombies, show your faces All you people in the street All you sittin' in high places The pieces gonna fall on you
All you zombies, show your faces (I know you're out there) All you people in the street (Let's see you) All you sittin' in high places It's all gonna fall on you
Engine's running hot, I'm running back to you Caught up in your trap and the secret things you do Headlight flashes bright, do you remember when We used to drive all night, well I'm coming back again
You told me we live in the shadows You told me to hide from the light But the last thing you said keeps running through my head Just don't take my car out tonight
Somewhere there's a place, a road without a sign I'm standing at the gate in a dream from out of time Your body brushes mine, I try to catch my breath You whisper in my ear, there's danger up ahead
You told me we live in the shadows You told me to hide from the light But the last thing you said keeps running through my head Just don't take my car out tonight
Headlight flashes bright, I watch you drive away The things we always feel are the things we never say My engine's running hot, gotta keep on pushing through I'm burning up inside, I'm burning up for you
You told me we live in the shadows You told me to hide from the light But the last thing you said keeps running through my head Just don't take my car out tonight
Nervous night, time on my hands Private invasion of the promised land Two on the run, that's you and me Maybe we can make it through this emergency
Oh, nervous night African queen, we said so many things we didn't mean Maybe another day, maybe it'd be alright Oh, nervous night
Right outside, shiny and clean A million vegetables I must be dreaming On my window ledge, can I crawl through Look out, look out below, I'm coming for you
Oh, nervous night African queen, we said so many things we didn't mean Maybe another day, maybe it'd be alright Oh, nervous night
I try to speak, my senses fail But you're just laughing while the sirens wail All around the world in the Globe Hotel If Isabella has her way it's gonna be a nervous day as well
Oh, nervous night African queen, we said so many things we didn't mean Maybe another day, maybe it'd be alright Oh, nervous night
Surrender into the night Silently take my hand Nobody knows what's inside us Nobody understands They handed us down a dream To live in this lonely town But nobody hears the music Only the echo of a hollow sound
Where do the children go Between the bright night and the darkest day Where do the children go And who's that deadly piper who leads them away
Together we make our way Passengers on a train Whisper a secret forever Promises in the rain We're leaving it all behind While castles are falling down We're going where no one can find us And if there's a heaven We'll find it somehow
Where do the children go Between the bright night and the darkest day Where do the children go And who's that deadly piper who leads them away
The night we stole the moon, a pirate's paradise The light along the ocean was in your eyes It ended all too soon, it started suddenly The bridge was almost opened when we arrived
And when I thought I was lost you carried me across Laughing through the fallout zone You touched me in a way I'd never known And in the salt-scented air I followed you there You taught me everything I know I'm going down again... South Ferry Road
We found a place to land, a space-age hideaway Safe inside the shelter, just you and I The night we stole the moon you gave it back to me The light along the ocean was our good-bye
But even still, now and then, I remember you when Laughing all the way back home You touched me in a way I've never known And all the others remain just faces in a game Remind me of a place I know I'm going down again... South Ferry Road
A thought in my head (I think) of something to do Expressions tell everything, I see one on you When I was invisible, I needed no light You saw right through me (you said) was I out of sight?
My love, she comes in colors You can tell her from the clothes she wears
When I was in England town, the rain fell right down I looked for you everywhere, I could not be found A thought in my head (I think) of something to do Expressions tell everything, I see one on you
My love, she comes in colors You can tell her from the clothes she wears
Your buddy Sam's a bit confused He don't know what to do Getting tired of hearing your demands He's got the whole world in his hands
And you can drive the outside lane Last car on the gravy train You can scream and you can moan But you can't get blood from a stone
I'm working hard to pay the rent And support my government Built the highways and the railroad tracks Now we're not giving up 'til they give it all back
You can laugh, but it's no joke Gotta fix the thing that's broke There's no meat only bone And you can't get blood from a stone
