Electric Light Orchestra Part II

I wait till everyone's asleep
Then out into the night I creep
No one can see me now
Or hear me running, soundlessly

The moon's the only light I need
To search for food, young ones to feed
But as the dawn is drawing near the earth, my way's not clear
I'm trapped on the outside

Moonlight save me, moonlight save me
Moonlight save me, moonlight save me

Unearthly fear, it grips my skin
Unearthly sound, the hunt begins
I hear excited cries
But dare not look from where I'm hiding

The multi-coloured humans ride
Soon they will find me where I hide
The brown and white tormentors
Begin to howl and then I'm running

Moonlight save me

I cut across the trail I left five miles before
One chance to throw them off my scent but I'm not sure
An elder told me it had worked sometime before

My heart is beating like a drum
I make the ridge, but can't go on
I turn to face my death
But nothing comes to stop me breathing

Down in the clearing now I see
They're searching all around for me
Confusion everywhere
But I am safe up here, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won

Talk is cheap, but it can't pay
For all the hurt you threw my way
Oh, no - Oh, no

Love is blind but I can see
You're trying to make a fool of me
I know - I know

Sometimes I feel just like I'm running on ice
I might slip and slide girl
But you won't hurt me twice, oh no

*No matter what you say
You'll never stop me
Breaking down the walls around your heart
No matter what you do
You just can't stop me
Breaking down the walls around your heart

Love is passion, love is pain
The heat is on, we're all insane
I know, I know

Life is bitter, life is sweet
You just can't ever admit defeat
Oh, no - oh, no

Sometimes it feels like we've been fighting too long
It can't be right to make me feel so wrong - oh, no

*Repeat

Did you ever feel like superman
got the world in your hands
But you never can
Seem to break down the walls

Did you ever feel like a drowning man
Got your life in your hands
But you never can
Seem to break down the walls

Sometimes it feels just like I'm running on ice
I might slip and slide girl
But you won't hurt me twice - oh, no

*Repeat

I hear your voice close on the phone
But I know you're far away
I've waited so long to talk to you
But now I can't find the words to say
So I sit and I listen to you
Breathe on the open line
I can almost taste your lips
And touch your hair
It's like intoxicating wine
I can almost see your face
Through the miles and miles of space

*I can feel the power of a million lights
When I see your eyes burn bright
I can see the sparks of a million volts
When you touch me through the night
I can feel the heat across a million miles
When you voice comes through the line
I can feel the power of a million lights
Come through the satellite

Although these oceans hold us apart
Where there's a will there's a way
I'm going to reach across the miles of sea
No matter what they say
So close your eyes and I'll be there
There's magic in the sky tonight
When you see the lightning flash around the world
It's the power of a million lights
Until I see your face
Through the miles and miles of space

*Repeat

Somewhere over the atmosphere
The signals are crossed
Now you're not so clear
The power is out and the lights are down
My head is spinning
Round and round and round and round and round

You know I need you more tonight
By the power of a million lights

I'm lying here, I know the night must fall
The edge of darkness is so near
So hold back the night, hold back the night
It's the darkness that I fear

And in my heart there's not a shadow of a doubt
The final truth waits there fore me
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
From the memories

*Give me one more tomorrow
All these todays alone
Mean nothing anymore
Give me one more tomorrow
Another chance to find
What I've been searching for

Inner voices in the quiet of the night
Angry silence calls to me
There's no time for tears, no time for tears
Find a way to break free

* Repeat

I'm praying for a little piece of heaven tonight
I'm searching for some help from a friend
And all I need is a miracle
To help me through this night
that never ends, it never ends

* Repeat (x2)

Don't want to talk, don't want to walk
Don't want to do anything
Don't want to kick, don't want to scream
Don't want to sleep, don't want to dream
Just want to sit, just want to stare
Do what you want I don't care
Wait for the phone, wait for the ring
Don't want to do anything

Don't want to work, don't want to play
Just sit around everyday
Don't want to dance, don't want to sing
Don't want to do anything
Don't want to laugh, don't want to cry
Just want to sit and wonder why
It's just too much without your touch
Don't want to do anything

World's going through some changes
I see so many things that
I don't understand

And people - have got to feel the power
We got to take our lives back
Into our own hands

This is no time for silence
We got to be stronger
We can't live with the violence
We can't live with the fear

*Voices - I wanna hear them calling
From the highest mountain
Over land and sea
Voices - I wanna hear them calling
Hear the sound of freedom
Calling out to me

Life - just turns in a circle
If we look for solutions
In the mistakes of the past

And now - we got to look to the future
We got to find the answers
We got to find them fast

So put the wheels in motion
If you wanna make changes
Out across the ocean
Let your words ring out

*Repeat

Just don't look, no matter what they say
Don't let her get to you, make her go away
But you're only human
And the best laid plans of men go astray
So all your good sense
Goes out the door
When you see that girl walk across the floor
Too late you've seen her
You've had a glimpse of paradise

*You never want to have to choose
Is it love or money now
Even if you win you lose
Is it love or money now

I'll close my eyes, I don't want to see you
Just go ahead say what you will
And I'll agree
I don't want illusions
Don't want confusions anymore

*Repeat

Is it love or money, I said love or money
That can make your dreams come true
I know it sounds so funny
But it's always love or money
That makes you do the crazy things that you do

*Repeat

Blue violin
Play for me your saddest melody
Violin
Play for me your saddest melody

Long hair, flashing eyes
The kind of hips that make you fantasize
A slow smile, just meant to tease
One look and you'll be weak at the knees
They got my head in a whirl
'Cos I can't get enough of those whiskey girls

They got the world at their fingertips
With just a look and lick of the lips
They understand the rhythm of the night
I'm in a daze, I don't know wrong from right
They got my head in a whirl
'Cos I can't get enough of those whiskey girls

*Hypnotised - by the whiskey girls
Compromised - out of this world
Lord above, could this be love
Ain't no doubt about it
I'm crazy about the whiskey girls

Whiskey girls are out on the town
They'll break your heart, they'll bring you down
Whiskey girls are out of control
For just one touch you'd sell your soul

The moon is high I'm getting out of the line
Whishful thinking with a one track mind
I'm having flashes, oh can't you see
they're walking through my private fantasy
Wearing only a necklace of pearls
Those slow walking, long-legged whiskey girls

*Repeat

Lipstick traces on an unmade bed
We drank all night and got devils in our head
She said some things that should have stayed unsaid
Emotions overflowing
Now I don't know what to believe
Sitting here in the cold light of the day

She felt anger, I felt pain
I walked out into the pouring rain
Packed my bags and took the midnight train
Didn't care where it was going
On my way, running like a thief
Hard to leave, but harder to stay

There's no wrong, there's no right
But sometimes she breaks all the rules
And lying here alone tonight
Can't believe love can be so cruel

Wish I'd believed her
'Cos now I need her
Sometimes the truth just hurts too much

She goes straight to the heart
With a truth that always finds me
She goes straight to the heart
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
She can be so cold, and it tears me apart
When she twists the knife
It goes straight to the heart

Sometimes love is an endless fight
It's never simple, never black and white
Just like ships passing in the night
Who knows where they're going
No forgiveness, no reprieve
Both sailing their separate ways

Light of day, dead of night
I'm searching for what I can't find
Try and try as I might
I can't get her out of my mind

Wish I'd believed her
'Cos now I need her
I guess we all must love and learn
She goes straight to heart
With a truth that always finds me
She goes straight to the heart
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
She can be cold, and it tears me apart
When she twists the knife
It goes straight to the heart

Stepping out of the shadows
I'm blinded by the light
there'll be no more wasted days
No more sleepless nights

Stepping out of your shadow
I finally see the light
No more mister nice guy
I'm ready for the fight
Weight off my shoulders
No more tears to cry
The chains are broken now
I see through your disguise

I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
Do you really think I'd just lay down and die

No infatuation
I don't believe your lies
I can see clearly now
The truth behind your eyes
Weight off my shoulders
No more tears to cry
The chains are broken
I see through your disguise

*I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
I'm so glad you're gone
So glad you said goodbye
No more angry words, no chance for you to lie
Did you really think I'd just lay down and die

Passion fades away
Love can turn to hate
And all the words I want to say
Are left in the hands of fate

*Repeat
