Oh I know it's strange, but I think that it's about to change
So I'll take the chance to get back into the straight again
Heaven only knows, I'm really on the level
Heaven only knows, I'm trying to find a way
Heaven only knows, I'm walking down a straight

Night after night, I try to make it all fit together
Night after night, I see you as someone I remember
You took me by surprise, opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious


Day after day, I know it's not the way that you wanted it
Day after day, I try to find the key but it don't fit
But you how it is, no matter what I did
We gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious


Tonight, tonight, I'm thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight, I'm sorry but I just didn't see
And now it's up to you, there's nothing else to do
We've gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious

It's out of control (out of control)
And there's nothing i can do now
Out of control (out of control)
Spinning softly through the blue now
And look beyond these walls
As the meaning starts to dawn
It's getting to the point
Getting to the point

It's out of control (nothing i can do)
Like a fire that keeps on burning
And nobody knows (what i'm going through)
And the thoughts just keep returning
And all you had to say
Was that you were gonna stay
Getting to the point (Getting to the point)
It's getting to the point

It's getting to the point
Where nobody can stop it now
It's getting to the point
Of no return
And all that i can do
Is stand and watch it now
Watch it burn, burn, burn

It's getting to the point
Where reasons are forgotten
It's getting to the point
Where no one knows
And all that i can do
Is say i'm sorry
But that's the way it goes

Getting to the point

Forever
Is a long, long way
Forever
Takes your breath away
I'd like to talk about it, try to understand
Getting to the point(Getting to the point)
getting to the point

It's getting to the point
Where nobody can stop it now
It's getting to the point
Of no return
And all that i can do
Is stand and watch it now
Watch it burn, burn, burn

It's getting to the point
Where reasons are forgotten
It's getting to the point
Where no one knows
And all that i can do
Is say i'm sorry
But that's the way it goes...

It's getting to the point (getting to the point)
Getting to the point (getting to the point)
It's getting to the point (getting to the point)
Getting to the point

I don't know, I don't know what's on your mind
I thought everything was fine, but it was my surprise
I don't know, I don't know what's going on
Something surely must be wrong, you're living secret lives
Living secret lives, secret lives
And I wonder where

Dear Jo, don't know where to begin so I'll just say hello
Dear Jo, is it so much better now you're on your own
You never believed in yourself
So now that you're free does it help
Is it alright, now that you got what you want
And is it alright, now that you're back where you belong
Dear Jo, are you livin' it up every place you go
Dear Jo, if you're havin' a hard time it sure don't show
You couldn't hold on in your mind
now is it ok is it fine
Is it alright, now that you got what you want
And is it alright, now that you're back where you belong
Dear Jo, can you believe that it's been so long
Dear Jo, just thought I'd write and let you know
You never believed in yourself
But now that you're free does it help
Is it alright, now that you got what you want
And is it alright, now that you're back where you belong

There's a silence in the city
There's nobody around
And everyone that we knew
Moved to higher ground.
There's a shadow hanging overhead
It lingers there alone
Changing all we ever knew
The changes start to show.:
There's a sorrow about to fall
Th

I watch the cars move, I watch the lights up on the window
I walk along the street, I'm only thinking of you
I watch the clock staring from the wall, it hardly moves at all
It's you I'm waiting for
Without someone I can depend on
I'm lost without someone

Somebody
Told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a 747
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world.

And pretty soon she′s really got the notion
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world.

Talk is cheap on satellite
But all I get is (static!)
Information, I′m still here
Re-dial on automatic

Calling America (can′t get a message through)
Calling America (that′s what she said to do)
Calling America (that′s where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America

But I′m just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

All I had to do was pick up the phone
I′m out in space, trying to talk to someone
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

She left a number I could call
But no one′s there, no one at all
There must be something going wrong
That number just rings on and on

Said she′d call when she′d been gone a while
Guess she′s missing me across the miles
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

Calling America, Calling America
Calling America, Calling America

Bye bye, pretty woman
I??ve got to leave you now
I find you never really cared.:
Stand back, take a look at you
You couldn??t care if you wanted to
You keep saying it??s gonna change
But every time it comes back again
It??s a merry-go-round.
Endless

The sun still shines way up above
But it don't matter now because the dream is gone
The dream is just a memory
If you see my dream, send it back home to me
The stars still glow up in the night
But somehow they don't seem so bright
The dream is gone, the d
