Well it's early evening and I'm at your door Thinking of things to say It's been a long hard week since I saw you now, Baby, you're always worth the wait I feel kinda restless, nervous I guess But so lucky to be alive We take the city by the hand It's our time tonight
We come alive Yeah, we come alive with the night We come alive Yeah, we come alive with the night
You've got your black jeans on And your worn out shirt Like the casual girl I know I'm gonna take you down town to this place I know Where they play our kind of rock and roll For a moment I feel when I look in your eyes That I've found what I'm searchng for Heaven's right in front of me and I'm Steppin through the door
We come alive Yeah, we come alive with the night We come alive Yeah, we come alive with the night
Look out!
Well we walk on in and the music's loud And the lights are way down low The air fills up with ecstacy As we dance the whole night through I love the way we touch and express ourselves Such a natural way to be Now I know why the night belongs To fools like you and me
Like theives we steal each other's time We have to go back home Got my arms around you so glad I found you And it's something I've done on my own Baby in just a little while we could go our separate ways But we both know we'd fool ourselves This night ain't over yet
Maybe youve taken on a different name Tired of playing everybody elses game Maybe youre living in a jealous town Oh so tired of rumours going round What we do, under the influence of love
Maybe youll try out a new set of clothes Begin to like the things that you hated the most There aint no rule, there aint no circumstance, To save you baby now, when youre in a trance What we do, under the influence of love
Hush now baby, dont cry To make it right, we have to see both sides And the day is never done... Think about it
Maybe you learn how to communicate With that someone who just cant wait Maybe youll see the world with different eyes Maybe youll even make a sactifice What we do, under the influence of love
Some they cant live within Some they cant live without When love finally arrives Some they keep shutting it out and Maybe this ones for you Baby, dont be afraid There aint nothing you can do when it takes you away
Maybe youll give up everything youve got To prove youre right, when they say youre not Maybe youll change just about everything around you Become a slave to the spell that bound you What we do, under the influence of love
Hush now baby, dont cry To make it right we have to see both sides And the day is never done Think about it - for the fortunate ones
Maybe youll give up everything youve got To prove youre right, when they say youre not Maybe youll change everything around you Under the influence of love
I was out the front door like nothing was lost wanted my freedom no matter what the cost It made no difference what anyone said I didn't follow my heart I followed my head
well a man is an island but the water is deep and the shore on the other side is ragged and steep well I built my castle for just one man without the love of a woman it's made out of sand
the tower of strength with no one around to pick me up when it all came down well I should have known we all need a place to call home o h yeah, uh huh
well you travel the highways and you travel the world when there ain't much left you haven't seen or heard to look for perfection is a lonely old ride it takes a whole lot of courage and a whole lot of pride
and then one day when you really care she touches your soul but you're far too scared well I should have known we all need a place to call home oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah
I'm trying everyday to find out more about myself learning how to love now I need it from somebody else Yeah, yeah Come poets and writers come spare me some time come tell me the reason come tell me the rhyme when you look for independence and you get what you want how come you look back thinking "what have I done?" but time and again it dawns on me it's the price we pay for liberty well I should have known we all need a place to call home oh yeah, home God I miss you tonight we all need a place to call home oh yeah
I hate it when you wonder... so sensual and free. And I hate it when you're psychic... With the things I cannot see. I hate it when you lead on... Like you know which way to go. And I hate it when you stumble... And you never touch the floor.
A pathological liar... I am fallin' again. With a flood of desire... I walk the line Between pleasure and pain.
I hate it when you're lyin'... So close to me at night. And I hate it when you whisper... Sweet words into my mouth. Yeah the woman be the reason... A woman be the light. A woman be the color... If faith would be my sight.
I'm a man of contradiction... With a heart so restrained. So afraid of commitment... I walk the line Between pleasure and pain.
It may take one lifetime... Or it may take one day. For me to find the courage... Not to walk away. If this is all that matters... If this is all we know. If enlightment is our journey... It will never, ever let us go... (Never let us go)
I hate it when you want me... Passion in your eyes. I struggle and I reason...
There's a place that I'd like to reach I have tried, and tried, and tried, and tried to the secret places that you keep I am repeatedley denied oh, won't you let me in I'm on your side
do you still love me do you honestley care cause I am still with you but you are elsewhere yes you are elsewhere
There's a voice that I'd like to hear words of a poet that I used to know now your eyes they keep starin into nowhere if I knew what was hurting you so oh won't you take me there dark places you hide
do you still love me do you honestley care cause I am still with you but you are elsewhere yes you are elsewhere
oh won't you let me in I'm on your side
do you still love me do you honestley care cause I am still with you but you are elsewhere do you still love me (do you still love me) do you honestley care cause I am still with you (I am still with you) but you are elsewhere yes you are elsewhere you are elsewhere

I know I might not be a hero And say things you want me to If you look for semoone perfect I'm afraid I just won't do But if we're meant to share this future Come happiness or pain If we're meant to help each other Thank got we're not the same

I see a boy down on the corner he has nothing to his name I see the dreams that we can follow and die for just the same and I see someone I believe in through hard and troubled times if I ever loose my way yeah you're always a friend of mine
then you step out in the big world take the chances that you can I see the sweat I see the tears yes, brotherhood of man and I see someone I believe in through hard and troubled times if I ever loose my way yeah you're always a friend of mine
then you learned about your people (then you learned about your people) some are weak and some are strong some might stand up for you do anything for you others might do you wrong
and I have someone I believe in through hard and troubled times if I ever loose my way yeah you're always a friend of mine yes you are
how I used to long for happiness whatever it would take how I'd die for that old true love make no mistake how I used to think all that glittered was gold and all of that was mine now all I have is this moment hoping it's never gonna pass me by pass me by
now did you find as you went searching all that you were looking for and has time began to heal you well I got I got more than I bargained for and I see someone I believe in through hard and troubled times if I ever loose my way yeah your always a friend of mine oh yes you are if I ever loose my way your always a friend of mine friend of mine
I throught Id sit right down And write this song for you I think you never understood my point of view You came into my life, a smell of summer wine Poisoned up my blood and left me behind
Mysterious, you were so unpredictable Charming ways were always so believable Circumstances made it all come shining through To tell the truth was not what you intended to
You could not live without me you said So baby, how come youre not dead yet?
Everything you said to me about being true Now I realize that words dont mean that much to you I cant believe you wasted all this time on me Showered me with promises and poetry
You could not live without me you said So baby, how come youre not dead yet?
People come and people go We hurt each other This I know But its not that simple When the hour is late Baby dont go
I see you walking by but I dont feel a thing Funny how I thought that we were everyghing Someone else will now be falling for that smile Im proud to say that Im no longer worth your while
You could not live without me you said You could not live without me you said But baby, how come youre not dead yet?
We're leaving together, But still it's farewell And maybe we'll come back, To earth, who can tell? I guess there is no one to blame We're leaving ground Will things ever be the same again?
*It's the final countdown. The final countdown
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all With so many light years to go and things to be found I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.
I've gone through changes I've gone through pain But there's not enough reason for me to go insane I know the feeling, when it grows I'm in a rage up from my head down to my toes.
You know it ain't easy Running out of thrills You know it ain't easy When you don't know what you want.
Rock now, rock the night 'Til early in the morning light Rock now, rock the night You'd better believe it's right.
I know my limit Just what it takes When things ain't good enough I just pull the brake Sometimes it's easy Sometimes so tough But just have one thing clear I can't get enough.
When lights go down I see no reason for you to cry We've been through this before In every time in every season God knows I've tried So please don't ask for more
*Can't you see it in my eyes Uh this might be our last good-bye Carrie Carrie Things they change my friend oh Carrie Carrie Maybe we'll meet again Somewhere again
*Repeat
I read your mind With no intentions Of being unkind I wish I could explain It all takes time A whole lot of patience If it's a crime How come I feel no pain
