Check your weapons at the door
You don't live here anymore
but a heart can not repent
if it doesn't know it's bent
it's like it's beating itself to death

There you are, still as stone
stretching skin on the bone
Well they say I've lost my will
but I'm just standing still
In a world that swallows cowards for the crime of killing time


*I'm checking out the scenery
from as high as I can be
Come, let faith be your garden
always changing, always still...
still breathing


And there you are in my mind
Will from living underground
Divided and divided until
noone can be found
nothing left to break down


*repeat

*repeat

Check your weapons at the door
You don't live here anymore
Well they say I've lost my will
but I'm just standing still
In a world that swallows cowards for the crime of killing time


still breathing...
still breathing...

Pardon me for asking
But, where the hell d'ya come from?
Do you come here often?
Are you here with someone?
'cause I swear to God that I've seen you a hundred time before
Do you have my number?
'cause I am what you're looking for

Pardon my presumption
My dubious intentions
It isn't very often
That I fall this hard for someone
And I know this may sound crazy
I don't wanna freak you out
But give me just a moment
To tell you what I'm all about

'cause, I'm no ordinary girl, in an ordinary world
I'm no plain Jane, Mary-Ann, or Suzie-Jan, or Eleanor
And as strange as it may seem, I've got a pocket full of dreams
You've got happiness for sale across the room and I want more
My world's an open door

Get my underscription upon ?
But do you believe in free love in candid conversation
Cause I've spent my whole life hiding to hide in a plastic shell
Now that I have found you
I'm gonna crawl out of myself

'cause, I'm no ordinary girl, in an ordinary world
I'm no plain Jane, Mary-Ann, or Suzie-Jan, or Eleanor
And as strange as it may seem, I've got a pocket full of dreams
You've got happiness for sale across the room and I want more
My world's an open door

Hey now
I don't care I don't really wanna know now
Take a walk out for a while if you can now
I'm the only girl you wanna be around now
Hey now, I'm gonna love you
Can you never never leave me now
Cause I'm no ordinary girl, I wanna break it now

'cause, I'm no ordinary girl, in an ordinary world
I'm no plain Jane, Mary-Ann, or Suzie-Jan, or Eleanor
And as strange as it may seem, I've got a pocket full of dreams
You've got happiness for sale across the room and I want more
I'm no ordinary girl, in an ordinary world
I'm no plain Jane, Mary-Ann, or Suzie-Jan, or Eleanor
And as strange as it may seem, I've got a pocket full of dreams
You've got happiness for sale across the room and I want more
My world's an open door

I'm no ordinary girl, in an ordinary world

Been running from these feelings for so long,
Telling my heart I didn't need it,
Pretending I was better off alone.
But I know it was just a lie.

So afraid to take a chance again;
So afraid of what I feel inside.

*But I need to be next to you.
(Need to be next to you.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to share every breath with you.
(Share every breath with you.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to know I can see you smile each morning,
Look into your eyes each night,
For the rest of my life.
Here with you; here with you.
oh I
I need to be next to you.
(need to be next to you)

Right here with you is right where I belong.
I lose my mind if I can't see you.
Without you there's nothing in this life
That would make life worth living for.
I can't bare the thought of you not there;
I can't fight what I feel anymore.

* Repeat

I need to have your love next to mine
For all time.
Hold you for all my life.
I need to be next to you.

* Repeat

I need to feel you in my arms, baby!
oh, I oh, I (x2)
I need to be next to you.
oh, I oh I

Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day

Climb into my machine so we can cruise on out
I know a swingin' little joint where we can jump and shout
It's not too far back off the highway, not so long a ride
You park your car out in the open, you can walk inside
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her, ma'am
Every time you make the scene you find the joint is jammed

Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day

And if you wanna hear some music like the boys are playin'
Hold tight, pat your foot, don't let 'em carry it away
Don't let the heat overcome you when they play so loud
Oh, don't the music intrigue you when they get a crowd
You can't dance, I know you wish you could
I got my eyes on you baby, 'cause you dance so good

Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day

Don't let him steal your heart away
I've got to learn to dance if it takes you all night and day
Oh Carol

Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright.
Only you and you alone
can thrill me like you do
and fill my heart with love for only you.

Only you can make this change in me,
for it's true, you are my destiny.
When you hold my hand,
I understand the magic that you do.

You're my dream come true,
my one and only you.

Only you can make this change in me,
for it's true, you are my destiny.
When you hold my hand,

You're my dream come true,
my one and only you.

One and only you.

Sweetheart

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I can not hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes

Come on baby
Let's do the twist
Come on baby
Let's do the twist
Take me by my little hand
And go like this

Ee-yah twist
Baby, baby twist
Ooh yeah, just like this
Come on little miss and do the twist

My daddy is sleepin'
And mama ain't around
Yeah, daddy just sleepin'
And mama ain't around
We're gonna twisty twisty twisty
Till we tear the house down

Come on and twist
Yeah, baby twist
Oooh yeah, just like this
Come on miss and do the twist
Ee-yah

('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)
('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)

Yeah, you should see my little sis
You should see my my litlle Sis
She really knows how to rock
She knows how to twist

Come on and twist
Yeah, baby twist
Oooh yeah, just like this
Come on little miss and do the twist

('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)
('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)

Yeah, rock on now
Yeah, twist on down
Twist
('Round and 'round and 'round)

Twilight Time
by Platters

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it's twilight time
When purple-colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time

Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day,
we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the same and sweet old way
I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day,
we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time
