Cyndi Lauper

Lying in my bed

I hear the clock tick and think of you

Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new

Flashback warm nights, almost left behind suitcases of memories,

Time after time


Sometimes you pictured me

I'm walking too far ahead

You're calling to me,

I can't hear what you've said

Then you say "Go slow, I fall behind"

The second hand unwinds



If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting

Time after time


After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray

Watching through windows you're wondering if I'm OK

Secrets stolen from deep inside

The drum beats out of time



You said "Go slow, I fall behind"

The second hand unwinds

time after time

time after time

time after time

time after time

You with the sad eyes
Don′t be discouraged
Oh, I realize
It′s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that′s why I love you
So don′t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don′t be unhappy
Can′t remember when
I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you′ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I′ll be there
And I′ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that′s why I love you
So don′t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
Your true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow
(Can′t remember when I last saw you laughing)
If this world makes you crazy
And you′ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I′ll be there
And I′ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that′s why I love you
So don′t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors are shining through
I see your true colors
And that′s why I love you
So don′t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mama dear we′re not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you′re still number one
But girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have--

That′s all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls-- they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have--

That′s all they really want
Is some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls--they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun,

They just wanna, they just wanna,
They just wanna, they just wanna
Oh girls-- girls just wanna have fun

They just wanna, they just wanna,
They just wanna, they just wanna
Oh girls-- girls just wanna have fun

When the working-- when the working day is done
Oh, when the working day is done
Oh girls-- girls just wanna have fun

They just wanna, they just wanna,
They just wanna, they just wanna
Oh girls-- girls just wanna have fun

When the working-- when the working day is done
Oh, when the working day is done
Oh girls-- girls just wanna have fun

Under the light

Woke up to the clock
What knob makes it stop
Time to be aware
Time to just be there
You go, go, go, go,
I go, go, go, go,
Conversations rare
Trail off in the air
Echo, echo, home, home

All that rolls our way
Wheels that time will play
Happiness grows back
Heartache leaves a scratch
You go. go, go, go,
I go, go, go, go
Everyplace I go

Never told you so
Echo.. echo.. home home

All of my days, all of my life
Standing by you
All of my days, all of my life
I will find you
All of my days, all of my life
Standing by you
All of my days all of my life
Landing next to you

When you're on the top
Notice what you've got
I will be your frail
When your on the trail
You go. go, go, go,
I go, go, go, go
Everything you know
Everywhere you go
Echo... echo... home home

Pressure on me
Can't get out
Situation it's a melt down
Nine to fiving, want to shout
New direction, got to get to high ground

I've got to get back to the floor
Just grab my keys and pop the door

Going to give it up
Get on down
Little by little going to turn it around...

Wash the week out
Of my mind
Slap my face on
Now i feel sublime
Put some sounds on
To unwind
Caught the moment
Just about the right time

I've got to get back to the floor
Just grab my keys and pop the door.. yea
Going to give it up
Get on down
Little by little...

Make my heart sing like a wild thing
Yea yea yea

Give it up....

Going to make a confession
Going to hope that you listen
I'm not a story you've read about
I'm just what i am
And when you open your eyes up
In the morning you rise up
Wash yesterday form your face
And make a new plan

Oh it's my fascination with the anticipation

If you want to grab a hold
If you want to grab a hold
If you want to grab a hold
Let it go..

I'm going to write down a letter
And maybe some day you'll get it
And know what i meant to say
And make it ok
And if ya look at my picture
You know the one on your dresser
And if you think that you see a frown
Turn me upside down

Why don't you use your imagination?
Make it what you have to make it

If you want to grab a hold..
Let it go...

You get your grip,
I'll hold you up.
Just reach with your hand
And then use your imagination
Make it want you have to make it

If you want to grab a hold..
Let it go...

Listen to the sound when ya....
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty yea yea yea yea...

How do you see yourself inside your mind?
Do you ever catch yourself step out of time?
If i had a dollar every time i tried
I'd be living high and mighty

How do you see yourself inside your mind?
Who do you look at when you close your eyes?
If i had a dollar every time i cried,
I'd be living high and mighty, yes yes yes...

Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty, ma my, ma my, ma my...

Then i guess it wouldn't be so bad without you,
Wouldn't even mind the things that you
Wouldn't walk away all steamy, cool
I'd be living high and mighty yea yea yea

Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty yea yea yea yea...
Living... ma my ma my ma my

Listen to the sound when ya...

I keep a coat rack by my bed
Up against your closet and next to my head
Didn't mean to trap your cloths
Keep the door blocked, closed
So you can't get in and i can't get out
Sink into my pillow and dream what it's about

To be living high and mighty
To be living high and mighty, yea yea yea

Ma my, ma my, ma my...
Living high and mighty
I' d be living high and mighty
And keep the door blocked closed
My, my, my,
Yea, yea, yea

into the night life
into the night life
Shirtless wonders wreck
my sight
Under the light

An empty street, a quiet smile
Without steady feet
You know the reckless kind
Keep coming, coming back
To the same old place
With that wild eyed stare
Up in your face

Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town
Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town

He must have lost his soul
When he found the rent
He wrestles with control
Still hasn't pinned it yet
Once in , once in a while
Loose that cigarette
There's always some strange smile
Underneath his breath

Lay me down, let me down...

... passion's fist against a wall
The crush of a kiss, the rise and fall
Take me there, take me there
To that wounded sound
It's just love's despair
Gone and hit the ground

Lay me down,, let me down
In a big old town... in a big old town...

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya,it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink

But i'm learning to time myself
Turn it easy over
Put some spice back on the shelf

Like elevator buttons go on and on
Doors that open and shut without a cause
There's something greater than i dare to know
Look at me, pull the thread on this sweater
And watch it go

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya, it can make ya...
The struggle hard and deep
Of what i learn to keep along the way everyday
Little one, i take your hand
And wonder how i'm gonna help ya be a man...
And how i'll help ya understand...

Lyfe it can shake ya,it could make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink

Two steps forward, one step back
Cover my mouth, choke
And pull down my hat

Into the seamless hope of an endless drive
Clinging to the rhythm of a lyfe like stride
White washing down trodden people
They're displayed like a grand masquerade
Making us feel better that we are brave>

Like letters that fade into dust
Like harmony, kindness and trust
Wisdom eluding me, wise guys using me
Peace, peace in, peace out
That's right, what 's it all about?
Huh?

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can bring ya to the bring...of lyfe
Along the way
Everyday, lyfe

Rich man, poor man, beggar man thief
You can fool some people
But you can't fool me
Harbor all the hate and greed
Threaten demise of democracy

There's a raging storm
In a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind
With celebrityM
There are darker times for me
Behind smoke and mirrors, amputees
It's a different world
Now i see the deflowering
Of the birds and bees

There's a raging storm
In a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity

You can fight for the right to be
But ya better not do a bad show on MTV

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
You can fool some people but you can't fool me
Smart Bombs, Rock Stars, Suit Case Queens
God's love we deliver out destiny

There's a raging storm in a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity
Come on people, yea yea, yea, yea

There's a raging storm in a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity
Come on people, yea yea, yea, yea,......

I saw you gather all your hope with all your dreams
I waved just like a shooting star that once I waved to me
I am a lover in mid-air
I think it about it; I don't care
Into the fire of despair
Just like a train that goes nowhere

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain rain on me

There was a time I got it wrong
It shakes my memory
And all the time I had it all
Its just I couldn't see
I am a robber in the dark
Singing about a broken heart
Answering whistles in the air
Waiting for someone else to care

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me

When the rain came tumbling down
And both your feet were on the ground oh
Running fast and free oh yeah
Well maybe time gonna wear you out
or maybe you're gonna come around or
we'll just wait and see oh yeah

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain rain on me

Yeah you can rain on me
But you can rain...

All she ever wanted when the day turned indigo,
Was to leave her grubby life behind her
To the buzzing streets below
Tainted passion and temptation
Led her down a trail of lust
Now the fate of Faye Delroy
Is written in the dust
Written in the dust

Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me back and make me be there

She said her head don't move the same way
That ther hand ususlly does
That she's got memory bubble
Almost like the rest of us
And ADD salamanders
Cannot figure what to wear
And they'll be standing in the closet
And every dress is savoir faire
Every dress is savoir faire

Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air...
Rock me here rock me there
Rock me in my rocking chair
My oh my, rock me tender in the night air...

Za va ba, za ba bi ya.... ca va pas? za ba bi ya...
Romeo Boyz, they'll b dancing with the Cha Cha Girlz

Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me back and make me be there..

People slippin' in the rain
I watch them get up again
It makes me feel like I can too
Hey hey ya

Just when I get off the ground
Your back tryin' to put me down
Like some simpleton you can use
Hey

Well It's the same old fucking story
With your two different sets of rules
The same old fucking story
One for me two for you
It's the same old fucking story

Big fish in a big ol' town
Gobble up all in one fair swoop yeah

When your heart is beating black and blue
And a cold world's looking back at you
When you're fading low around the bend
Go on turn around you'll see me
I will always be your friend

Set your heart free
Set your heart free...

Said you can't say much about today
Just that dark cloud coming back your way
And that your dreams are all worn thin
Well, you better stop with all that talk
Before it all starts happening

Set your heart free...
Listen to your heart...

When your heart is beating black and blue
And the old world's knocking down on you
And you're starting to become unglued
Don't go there, come on, you know i love you

Set your heart free...

There's a riot in the kitchen and the bed's on fire
There's a locket in my pocket that I can't find
Oh I'm at the window whistling in the wind
I'm at my own front door and I can't get in

I'm dialing up 911
I'm on the brink of trouble again,
If you could change the time, a little,
Then everything would be
Fine, fine, fine

Tell me do you have a home-made remedy,
The only time we talk is in our sleep
Oh he likes mornings, I like the moon
It's a typical case of too little, too soon

I'm dialing up 911
I'm on the brink of trouble again,
If you could change the time, a little,
Then everything would be
Fine, fine, fine

...My back is in the corner,
My boat is taking on water,
You can't wrap fire up in paper
And you can't rap your way out of here

Oh I like mornings, he likes the moon
It's a typical case of too late, too soon

I'm dialing up 911...
911

I look out my window
Into the pouring rain
I wish I could tell you
That I stopped hearing your name
And then I realize every thought of you
Runs a circle around my heart
I hear your voice haunting me
I feel your touch in the dark

It was a night to remember
All your kisses I still taste
It was a night to remember
Can't forget the look on your face
It was a night

Starlight send a message
Like a beacon into the night
To tell you I'm lonely
When I shut out the light
Because a part of me left with you
So I feel lost inside
Sometimes I look into my mirror
I see you shining through my eyes

It was a night to remember
All your kisses I still taste
It was a night to remember
Can't forget the look on your face
It was a night to remember

All these feelings I can't erase
From my heart

Endless dreams
Around my shoulders
I cannot free this restless heart

It was a night to remember
...Not enough time for you to stay...
...Can't forget the look on your face

All through the night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

All through the night
stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there let me stay there awhile

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

All through the night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

All through the night
stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there let me stay there awhile

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

Every day the clock kicks off the beat.
Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come.
Sipping his coffee another day has begun ...

Little Joe got work for minimum wage.
Tries to get through another dead beat day.
At five o'clock he comes home to change,
Takes him many hours just to rearrange...

And he works his body just to be somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
And he works his body...
And he feels somebody...
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen.

Every night the DJ kicks off the beat.
Little Cleo's jumping just to get up on her feet.
Waits in her platforms for the right song to come.
Sipping her cocktail another night has begun.

And he works his body just to be somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
And he works his body...
And he feels somebody...
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen.

Every morning the clock kicks off the beat.
Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come...

You never knew yourself well enough
But she never knew you at all
And when she put you out on your own
It may have stolen your innocence
But not your soul

Tell me where is little boy blue
You'll find him standing always
One step ahead
Fast a little, shy a little, boy blue
Wise blood runs warms and deep
On the street
... Kids walking, just a kid walking

You send a letter with photographs
And I'll tuck them under my dreams
And if we wake up old beyond our years
Not quite as brave as we seem
It's just the pain that never disappears

Tell me where is boy blue
You'll find him standing always one step ahead...

Dance a little, cry a little...

Where are you boy blue
Where are you...

I met a woman at the laundry mat
She left her sock in my dryer
I met a woman in a yellow cap
It said brimstone and fire
I said is this luck ? With just a glance
She smiled, and I thought, is this a sign ?
From above or below ? ... Oh no ... Brimstone ...
Brimstone and fire ...

The next week at the cinema
She pur her hand on my shoulder
She almost kissed me walking home
And I didn't even scold her
Then I said where is this leading with just a heavy sigh
I quickened my pace and she was following
as if her heart would never tire
Brimstone and fire, brimstone and fire ...

Now we have dinner every Saturday
I make spaghetti, she brings cake
I make spaghetti with tomato sauce,
Because that's all I can make
And when she lights the candles
I think, here we go ...
But it's so pleasant after all
And I say very low
Don't forget to light the fire

Brimstone and fire ...
Brimstone and fire ...
Brimstone and fire ...

Ever since I could understand
My mother said to me
"Don't you ever let a man hit you,
Don't you grow up like me"
So I swore I'd never be like her
Or my grandmother too
Ever if it meant I'd be alone
Ever if it meant I'd be alone.

'Cause she looked
'Cause she looked like broken glass
When she fell to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
Trailing off
When she started coming 'round
But she couldn't make him stop
And she wouldn't let it go
So everytime she got back up
Like broken glass went tumblin' down
Tumblin' down

First time that I saw your face
You looked so lost and kind
Should have recognized that
Troubled look
From the road I left behind
But I thought that I could comfort you
Or was it you could comfort me,
Never saw your anger 'till you blew
Never saw your anger 'till you blew

And I feel
Oh I'd feel like broken glass
When I fell to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
Trailing off
When I started coming 'round
But I couldn't make you stop
And you wouldn't let it go
So everytime I got back up
Like broken glass went tumbling down...

The slightest thing could spark you
There was always hell to pay
I could feel your darkness in me
And I knew just what to say
And the rest I can't remember
But it sounded like a gun
But it could have been a firecracker
It could have been a firecracker
Made me run

And you looked
Oh you looked like broken glass
When you fell to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
Trailing off
When you started coming 'round
But I couldn't make you stop
And you wouldn't let it go
So this time when you got back up
Like broken glass you went
Just like broken glass
Just like broken glass...
...Tumbling down, tumbling down...

I can get up
On the right side of the bed
But that won't stop the rain
From coming down on my head
I can live my life
Playing hide and seek
But when I look inside
It's hard to make believe,
Ah ah

'n lately
You seem so far away
I wish I could say something
But I don't know what to say
I can feel your eyes
I don't have to look at you
Boy, discontentment
Is-a-sneakin' through

You never really want anything
But what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Wo yeah
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Don't you know
You should be holding me
But you're all locked inside
Why don't you throw me your keys
I'm like a rockin' ship
On your rollin' sea
You know crash lightnin'
Never frightens me, nah

...You never really wanted
But what u really needed
I wanna give u something
mmm... the calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Love me a little, love me long

Here I am
Just like I said I would be
I′m your friend
Just like you think it should be
Did you think I would stand here and lie
As our moment was passing us by
Oh I am here

Waiting for your change of heart
It just takes a beat
To turn it around
Yes I′m waiting for your change of heart
At the edge of my seat
Please turn it around

Days go by
Leaving me with a hunger
I could fly
Back to when we were younger
When adventures like cars we would ride
And the years lied ahead still untried
While I stand here

Waiting for your change of heart...

Blind leading blind
Never feel the laughter
Search through time
Nothing reveals the answer
If it′s truth that you′re looking to find
It is nowhere outside of your mind
I bide my time
Waiting for your change of heart...

Holding on to the rhythm
I'm standing in my leather and lace
People move to the left, and
Move to the right, and
The whole place starts to shake

Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire

I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away

Letting go my inhibitions
Is harder to do than say
But I surrender to the beat
I start shuffling my feet
When I hear that music play

I trip the light fantastic
I touch the sky and it feels like magic

I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away

Give me a dance, dance
Dancing with a stranger
And it takes my breath away

I ain't looking for mister right
It doesn't matter to me
There's something in the air
Electric I like
Igniting endlessly

I started to dance...

Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire

I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away...

Dear John,

What's wrong ? Why can't you just be anything you want ? Why not ? Why not ? I tried to tell you then. You didn't understand. They try and pigeonhole you. Buddy, they don't even know you. But hang on my dear, dear, John. Maybe you're not just like everyone, so what, so what.

And there's more to live for, than some abbreviated encore, much more, much more. You can't define yourself in terms of someone else. You can't say what you're thinking ? But I don't know what you've been drinking. But don't cry. 'Cause life goes on. Dear John, you could be anything you want. Why not ? Why not ?
Why you could even be an astronaut, dear John, dear John
