I've got a secret. I've been hiding under my skin.
How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man? We all need someone to talk to. my oh my. I've been alone with you inside my mind and in my dreams. I've kissed your lips a thousand times. Gimme all your lovin', all your hugs and kisses too, I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight. I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing. Kissing like a bandit stealing time underneath the sycamore tree. We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway: "Watch out boy she'll chew you up, oh, here she comes. She's a maneater". She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene. I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round. She said I am the one will dance on the floor in the round but girls they want to have fun. No place for beginners or sensitive hearts when sentiment is left to chance. Time, it needs time to win back your love again I will be there. Take my tears and that's not nearly all. Oh...tainted love!
I feel so unsure as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor as the music dies. Something in your eyes calls to mind the silver screen and all it's sad good-byes. No April rain, no flowers bloom; no wedding Saturday within the month of June. On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair, warm smell of colitas. Rising up through the air. Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while. All my instincts, they return and the grand facade, so soon will burn without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside. Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. She'll only come out at night The lean and hungry type. Nothing is new, I've seen her here before. Watching and waiting: she's seated with you but her eyes are on the door. Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's door.We've known each other for so long. Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it. But it's easier. Comin' straight from the heart. Bang bang bang on the door, baby! Such a lovely place, such a lovely place. such a lovely face! You come and go, you come and go. Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream. But I see your true colors shining through! I see your true colors: baby's got blue eyes like a deep blue sea on a blue blue day.
Every night she walks right in my dreams since I met her from the start I'm so proud I am the only one who is special in her heart. The girl is mine, the doggone girl is mine. It's poetry in motion. She turned her tender eyes to me. As deep as any ocean. As sweet as any harmony. She's an easy lover, she'll take your heart but you won't feel it. She's like no other, and I'm just trying to make you see. Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise. Her hands are never cold, she's got Bette Davis eyes. I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you understand. But I'm never gonna make it without you, Do you really want to see me crawl? That cold black cloud is comin' down. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you. I howl and I whine. I'm after you. Mouth is alive all running inside. And I'm hungry like the wolf.
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours but I think that God's got a sick sense of humor. Who's gonna pick you up when you fall? Who's gonna hang it up when you call? Who's gonna pay attention to your dreams? Who's gonna plug their ears when you scream? Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry? Precious kisses words that burn me. Lovers never ask you why. Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take I'll be watching you. I gotta be cool relax, get hip, get on my track's. Take a back seat, hitch-hike and take a long ride on my motor bike
It ain't me, babe. We don't need no thought control. Oh you're so condescending. Your gall is neverending. We don't want nothin', not a thing from you. Here in my car I feel safest of all, I can lock all my doors. It's the only way to live: in cars. Here comes the rain again, falling on my head like a memory. It's so hard to get old without a cause. So take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space. I don't want to perish like a fading horse. All I know, all I wanna do is hold her. She's the life that breathes in me. Well it's set way back in the middle of a field, Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back.
Distant ships sailing into the mist. A place where nobody dared to go, the love that we came to know. Sweet dreams are made of this. Who am I to disagree? Let me sail, let me sail, let the Orinoco flow, We are in Xanadu. Let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli. Come on Eileen, well I swear. They really pack 'em in. The in crowd say it's cool. To dig this chanting thing. I wanna take you down to Kokomo, we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow. That's where we wanna go, way down in Kokomo. Tropical the island breeze. All of nature wild and free. This is where I long to be: la Isla Bonita. All the Japanese with their Yen. The party boys call the Kremlin. The Chinese know. They walk along like Egyptians. You dropped a bomb on me, baby. And when I get that feeling I want sexual healing. How can we dance when our earth is turning? How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
I hear stormy weather movin' in. 'Bout to break it, about to begin. Hear the thunder, don't you lose your head. Rip up the roof and stay in bed. It's raining again. Oh no, my love's at an end. How do you think I'm going to get along, without you, when you're gone? How can u just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? Maybe I'm just 2 demanding. Maybe I'm just like my father: 2 bold. Down in the street there is violence and a lots of work to be done. No place to hang out our washing and I can't blame all on the sun, oh no. You could have a steam train if you'd just lay down your tracks you could have an aeroplane flying if you bring your blue. I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV. Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it. You play the guitar on the MTV. Money for nothin' and your chicks for free. I guess you'd say we used to talk. About busting out. We'd break their hearts. Together - forever. With or without you.
The times they are a-changin'. Say, say, say what you want but don't play games with my affection. Take, take, take what you need but don't leave me with no direction. Day after day it reappears. Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear. Ghosts appear and fade away .Les yeux sans visage: eyes without a face. I heat up, I can't cool down. You got me spinnin' 'round and 'round. 'Round and 'round and 'round it goes where it stops nobody knows. I ain't afraid of no ghost! Holding back the years, thinking of the fear I've had for so long. When somebody hears, listen to the fear that's gone. Don't worry, I won't hurt U. I only want U 2 have some fun. I was dreamin' when I wrote this. Forgive me if it goes astray. It's the end of the world as we know it. But I still haven't found what I'm looking for and I guess that's why they call it the blues! We built this city on rock n' roll! Everybody wants to rule the world: "if you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where fashion sits?". Shout, shout, Let it all out. These are the things I can do without. Come on, I'm talking to you! Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart. There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.
