Now it's big black cars and Riviera views
And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page

And they tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused
'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used
And all the young things line up to take your place

Another name goes up in lights
You wonder if you'll make it out alive

And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Can you tell me now you're the lucky one?
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Have you heard the news
It's all over town
If you ain't heard it boys
You better sit down
I got the story here
It's hot off the press
Brace yourself now
And take a deep breath
Grab a hold of something
Hold on tight
Betty Lou's gettin' out tonight

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just to wait and see
I've never been imprisoned by
A faded memory

 

Just when I think I'm over her
This broken heart will mend
I hear her name and I have to cry
The tears come down again

 

It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusing to unwind
Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah

Well, I started out
Down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down
As I crossed the hill
And the town lit up
The world got still

 

I'm learning to fly
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing

(Tick tock tick) Doo doo doo-doo
(Tick tock tick) Doo doo doo-doo
(Tick tock tick) Doo doo doo-doo
(Tick tock tick) Doo doo doo-doo

 

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future

 

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
'Til I'm free
Oh, Lord through the revolution

… Well, when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folk that you know
Well, I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Well, you know I could never be alone

 

… Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground

… And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
Well, they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh, yeah, but don't you let them

 

You just call out my name
And, you know, wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Oh, baby don't you know 'bout
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Hey, now, all you've got to do is call
Lord, I'll be there, yes, I will
You've got a friend

She says her love for me could never die
But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I

Oh, but her love is cold
Wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, cause
When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch

 

I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feeling's right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you

You'll never know how much I really love you
You'll never know how much I really care
Listen ... Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell? Whoa oh, oh
Closer ... Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you,

I didn't even have the sense to know
What I was missing
Or what I was soon to feel for
You the laughter
You a reason to live
You the object of all the love I can give


And all that I possess
You who meant nothing when I was younger

… There's a message in the wild
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight

… In your world I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

… But I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say

where are you tonight 
i don't seem to know you
no i'm not all right
where are you tonight
and my heart is nearly gone
there's not much left to offer
if i could somehow know
i could stop the burning down
where are you tonight
are you even really out there
i won't put up a fight
where are you tonight
and the world keeps spinning round
a vicious cycle turning
some of them know love
some of us know the burning down

Ah, watch out
You might get what you're after
Cool babies
Strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

 

Hold tight
Wait 'til the party's over
Hold tight
We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

And every Saturday we work in the yard
Pick up the dog doo
Hope that it's hard (woof woof)
Take out the garbage and clean out the garage
My friend's got a Chrysler
I've got a Dodge
We're just ordinary average guys

I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase that you bought today
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me
Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes, everything is good
Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated by the
Sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you
Our house is a very, very, very fine house with two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy 'cause of you

… You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

… Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Your love, lifting me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it it up
Quench my desire
And I'll be at your side, forever more

 

You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)

Lookin' out on the morning rain
(Ah-ooo)
I used to feel so uninspired
(Ah-ooo)
And when I knew I had to face another day
(Ah-ooo)
Lord it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you
Life was so unkind
But you're the key to my piece of mind

'cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)

Don't ask me why
Things are not the way they used to be
I won't tell no lie
One and all got to face reality now

Though I try to find the answer
To all the questions they ask
Though I know it's impossible
To go living through the past

Don't tell no lie
There's a natural mystic blowin' through the air
Can't keep them down
If you listen carefully now you will hear

There's a natural mystic blowin' through the air

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem

Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
