Begging, pleading lose your love to me
It's all that I need No fool can ease my heart, my love The way that you do I will follow you Lovers on main street Well, don't forget me when you're laughing Disbelieving in all that I said When you're lying back to back With your problems Satisfaction comes slow You will never know Lovers on main street But if you need somebody to love Think of me But if your time has come Lovers on main street Argumentative, self-conceited You console all the love I possess But you'll conceal your own misfortune Leave heartaches behind You can always find Lovers on main street |

Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat Maybe you'll go away and never call And a taste of honey is worse than none at all Oh little girl In that case I don't want no part I do believe that would only break my heart So if you feel like loving me If you've got that notion I second that emotion So if you feel like giving me A life-time of devotion I second that emotion Maybe you think that love will tie you down And you don't seem to like to hang around Or maybe you think thot love was made for fools So it makes you wise to break the rules I second that emotion I second that emotion I second that emotion (Oh little girl) |

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties A hand-me-down dress from who knows where To all tomorrow's parties Where will she go What shall she do When midnight comes around She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown And cry behind the door And what costume shall the poor girl wear To all tomorrow's parties The silken trimmings of yesterday's gown To all tomorrow's parties What shall she do With Thursday's rags When Monday comes around She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown And cry behind the door And what costume shall the poor girl wear To all tomorrow's parties Thursday's child is Sunday's clown From whom no-one ever borrows A blackened shroud A hand-me-down gown of rags and silks her costume Fit for one who sits and cries For all tomorrow's parties |

Everything's neat and compact
There's not much to shout about But winter is breaking inside of me Now life is so incomplete But you're one of the boys again But is that all you want to be? Now that you feel the weather Was it all in vain? Now that we're together We seem so alien Slowly descend from heaven Anyway we turn we win But how can you always be so sure? Nightporters sleep on weekdays Living a lifetime too Walking away without a cure Now that you feel the weather Was it all in vain? Now that we're together We seem so alien The noise on the stairs disturbs me Somebody walks my way But can you rely on everything I feel? Driving through endless buildings The desert is so serene But Mondays were never really my ideal Now that you feel the weather Was it all in vain? Now that we're together We seem so alien |

The cottage is windswept
Now there's only sorrow here Follow evacuation signs You're detached and broken and so sentimental now Remembering how we passed our time Somebody waits for me Far beyond our halloween Germanic forces marching on concrete squares Our love is just defenceless sound And could we believe that all you said was true We would be so determined now Slowly emerging Dividing Germany Everyone's lost in East Berlin Only believing just what you want to hear We're waiting at stations once again |

Flirting new ambition
Pressure for the ceiling No vacation on immaculate times Domestic training A woman's intuition A love is churning out on factory lines Health demanding Unfit behaviour Commuters converse in satirical signs Know no news and no personnel crisis With new indifferent industrial crimes Welcome to suburban Berlin Welcome to suburban Berlin Love affairs And endless strategies I don't believe in a word they said City limits No more information Go follow navigation in your head Welcome to suburban Berlin Welcome to suburban Berlin |

Boys, now the times are changing
The going could get rough Boys, would that ever cross your mind Boys, are you contemplating Moving out somewhere Boys, will you ever find the time? Here we are stranded Somehow it seems the same, beware. Here comes the quiet life again? Boys, now the country's only miles away from here Boys, do you recognise the signs? Boys, when those driving hands push against the tracks Boys, it's too late to wonder why Here we are stranded Somehow it seems the same, beware. Here comes the quiet life again? As you turn to leave Never looking back Will you think of me? Will you ever, could it ever stop? |

She keeps her patience for the bedroom
Should satisfy her for a week Her domination is executed cheaply With her studio technique What's new? She carries love in a carrier bag What's new? She don't keep her body clean Oh, Oh, Oh Illegitimate contributions And neurotic fantasies conceived Love is infectious I don't know about that Love is infectious I don't know about it She keeps appointments by the hour glass Guerilla warfare in her bed And constant love is oh oh so negative We're simulating sex instead She carries love in a carrier bag She don't keep her body clean Oh, Oh, Oh Illegitimate contributions And neurotic fantasies conceived Love is infectious I don't know about that Love is infectious I don't know about it No personality's essential Nobody strictly in command She's not direct, elusive Or inadequate Love's incompatible commands What's new? She carries love in a carrier bag What's new? She don't keep her body clean Oh, Oh, Oh Illegitimate contributions And neurotic heartaches are conceived Love is infectious I don't know about that Love is infectious I don't know about it |

A summerhouse in Texas
Searching for Siberia Pioneering underground We looked a lot like you Now work is done, the table set Deliver insufficient sound Oh my, fall in love with me Oh my, fall in love with me Cross military lines Nobody would believe us now The weather working with us We looked a lot like you Now every boy's a refugee Living for the moment Through the shrieking wails Trans-European overseas Silently leaving Amsterdam We looked a lot like you Shy away from standard life Each bitter moment lingers on |

The sidewalk's trading love
As subway lights grow brighter We're just another hype But the pressure's getting harder Get on up, get on up Take it much higher Get on up, get on up Take it much higher A lovers' etiquette Make love on first impression And adolescent sex with juvenile intentions Get on up, get on up Take it much higher Get on up, get on up Take it much higher Whatever gets you through the night Just keep on dancing Whatever gets you through the night Just keep on dancing Whatever gets you through the night Just keep on dancing Whatever gets you through the night Get on up, get on up Take it much higher Get on up, get on up Take it much higher Get on up, get on up, get on up Take it much higher Get on up, get on up, get on up Take it much higher Get on up, get on up, get on up Take it much higher Well, the lady buys a thrill Excitement in succession But a heartache won't partake In articulate obsession Get on up, get on up, get on up Take it much higher Oh yeah! Get on up, get on up, get on up Take it much higher Oh, well, pretty things at rest No courtesy surprising For love is heaven blessed All catastrophies denying Get on up, get on up, get on up Take it much higher Get on up, get on up, get on up Take it much higher Just keep on dancing Whatever gets you through the night Just keep on dancing Whatever gets you through the night Just keep on dancing Whatever gets you through the night Aw, when you're out on the street With your lovers infections Counting possibilities by elimination And your body's still damp From your one-room apartment And your heartache remains, when Love's not the antidote You'll submerge again Emerge again Just get off the street! Whatever gets you through the night Just keep on dancing Whatever gets you through the night Just keep on dancing Whatever gets you through the night Just keep on dancing Whatever gets you through the night Get on up, get on up, get on up Take it much higher Get on up, get on up, get on up Take it much higher Get on up, get on up, get on up Take it much higher |

Scurrying across the broadwalk
Some places I tend to forget Echoings deep in my throat It's so cold in this luncheonette, well Somebody wants to know you An ordinary boy Somebody wants to know you A standard polaroid, well Here I am European son Sometimes the passenger European son Here I am Suffragettes in Washington Disposable serviettes Searching for the quiet life There's no love in this luncheonette, well |

Before the light of day reveals itself
I assured she won't forget But still I will console myself Should I lose something I could regret But now she turns to leave Exactly like she used to do Did nobody warn you boy Love's in vogue again my love Did nobody tell you girl Love's in vogue again my love Before the light of day I awake She's clearly not herself today Across a crowded room life begins Before the moment drifts away How bitter the morning feels Exactly like it ought to do |

There's always something left inside him
I've really nothing much to lose It seems so sentimental Why should I care? Somewhere there's a sound of distant living Locked up in high society It seems so artificial Why should I care? Oh ho ho Life can be cruel Life in Tokyo Oh ho ho Life can be cruel Life in Tokyo Another vehicle heads for sunset No other providence will do They're only buildings and houses Why should I care Oh ho ho Life can be cruel Life in Tokyo Oh ho ho Life can be cruel Life in Tokyo |
