Laying in your bed and on a Saturday night
you're sweating buckets and its not even hot.
'Cause your brain has got the message and its sending it
out to every bone and every muscle you got.
You got so many dreams that you don't know where to put them
so you better turn a few of them loose.
Your body has got a feeling that its starting to rust you
gotta remedy it to put it to use.

And I don't know how I ever thought that I could make it
all alone
When you only make better and it better be tonight
And we'll fly away on those angel wings that grow from your
daddy's car
We'll be there for you tonight
I'll be there for you tonight

And if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
And even if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
And your speed is all you'll ever need,
all you'll ever need to know
Darling! Darling!

You and me we're goin' nowhere slowly
and we gonna get away from the past
There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast
Everybody's goin' nowhere slowly
They're only fighting for the chance to be last
There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast

It's so much better goin' nowhere fast

Stalking in the shadows by the light of the moon
its like a prison and the night is a cell
Going' anywhere has gotta be heaven tonight,
'cos stayin here has gotta be hell
You're dying in the city like a fire on the water
let's go running on the back of the wind
There's got to be some action on the face of the earth
and I gotta see your face one again

And I don't know where I am or got the bright idea
that I was cool
So alone and independent but I'm depending on you now
And you'll always be the only thing
that I just can't live without
And I'm out for you tonight
I'm coming out for you tonight

Even if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
Even if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
And your speed is all you'll ever need,
all you'll ever need to know
Darling! Darling!

You and me we're goin' nowhere slowly
and we gonna get away from the past
There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast
Everybody's goin' nowhere slowly
They're only fighting for the chance to be last
There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast

Godspeed! Godspeed! Godspeed! Speed us away!

I've got a dream 'bout an angel on the beach
And the perfect waves are starting to come
His hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
And his touch has got the power to stun

I've got a dream 'bout an angel in the forest
Enchanted by the edge of a lake
His body's flowing in the jewels alive
And the earth below is starting to shake

But I don't see any angels in the city
I don't hear any holy choirs sing
And if I can't get an angel
I can still get a boy
And a boy'd be the next best thing
The next best thing to an angel
A boy'd be the next best thing

I've got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle
And he's dancing like a cat on the stairs
He's got the fire of a prince in his eyes
And the thunder of a drum in his ears

I've got a dream 'bout a boy on a star
Lookin' down upon the rim of the world
He's there all alone and dreamin' of someone like me
I'm not an angel but at least I'm a girl

I've got a dream when the darkness is over
We'll be lyin' in the rays of the sun
But it's only a dream and tonight is for real
You'll never know what it means
But you'll know how it feels
It's gonna be over (over)
Before you know it's begun
(Before you know it's begun)

It's all we really got tonight
Stop your cryin' hold on (tonight)
Before you know it is gone (tonight)
Tonight is what it means to be young
Tonight is what it means to be young

Let the rebels begin
Let the fire get started
We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted
Let the rebels begin
Let the fire get started
We're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted

Let the rebels begin
Let the fire get started
(Tonight is what it means to be young...)
We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted
(Before you know it is gone...)
Let the rebels begin
Let the fire get started
(Tonight is what it means to be young...)
We're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted
(Before you know it is gone...)

Say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come
No matter what it seems
Tonight is what it means to be young
(Tonight is what it means to be young)
Tonight is what it means to be young
Before you know it is gone
(Tonight is what it means to be young)
Tonight is what it means to be young
Before you know it is gone

Ah...

I've got a dream when the darkness is over
We'll be lyin' in the rays of the sun
But it's only a dream and tonight is for real
You'll never know what it means
But you'll know how it feels
It's gonna be over (over)
Before you know it's begun
(Before you know it's begun)

It's all we really got tonight
Stop your cryin' hold on (tonight)
Before you know it is gone (tonight)
Tonight is what it means to be young

No matter what it seems

The things they say
And then the things they do
Nothin's gonna stop us if our aim is true...

There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed if I just listened to it right outside the window

There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever

I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made

But when you touch me like this (Touch me like this)
And you hold me like that (Hold you like that)
I just have to admit that it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this (Touch you like this)
And I hold you like that (Hold you like that)
It's so hard to believe but it's all coming back to me now
It's all coming back
It's all coming back to me now

There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again but then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby, baby!

If I kiss you like this (Kiss you like this)
And if you whisper like that (Whisper like that)
It was lost long ago but it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this (If you want me like this)
And if you need me like that (Need me like that)
It was dead long ago but it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist and it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now

But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then

But if I touch you like this (Touch you like this)
And if you kiss me like that (Kiss me like that)
It was so long ago but it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this (Touch me like this)
And if I kiss you like that (Kiss you like that)
It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me now
It's all coming back
It's all coming back to me now

There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again but they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, baby, baby!

When you touch me like this (Touch me like this)
And when you hold me like that (Hold me like that)
It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me

When you see me like this (See me like this)
And when I see you like that (See you like that)
Then we see what we want to see, all coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasy, all coming back to me
I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now

If you forgive me all this (Forgive me all this)
If I forgive you all that (Forgive you all that)
We forgive and forget and it's all coming back to me now

It's all coming back to me now
When I touch you like that
It's all coming back to me now
And if you do it like this
It's all coming back to me now

And if we...

It's all coming back to me now
We forgive and forget and it's all coming back to me now
