One Step Ahead

One step ahead of you Stay in motion, keep an open mind
Love is a race won by two Your emotion, my solitude
If I stop, I could lose my head So I'm losing you instead
Either way I'm confused You slow me down, what can I do?
There's one particular way I have to chooseOne step ahead of you
Always someone makes it hard to move She says, "Boy I want you to stay"
But I save it all for another day If I stop, I could lose my head
But I'm ready for romance Either way I'm confused
I don't know what I'm supposed to do I can only stay one step ahead of you
Da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, dum
Da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, dum
Stop, I confess sometimes I don't know where I'm going
Part of me stays with you I'm slowing down, what can I do
It's hard to stay one step ahead of you, uh-huh
One step ahead of you Time is running out, catching up with you
One step ahead of you When I hold you close, can I really lose?
One step ahead Only one step ahead
She's one step ahead of you

Cleanup Time
03:59

Moonlight on the water
Sunlight on my face
You and me together
We are in our place
The Gods are in the heavens
Angels treat us well
Oracle has spoken
We cast the perfect spell
The queen is in the counting house
Counting out the money
The king is in the kitchen
Making bread and honey
No friends and yet no enemies
Absolutely free
No rats aboard the magic ship
Of perfect harmony
Now it begins, let it begin
Cleanup time, hey, cleanup time
Cleanup time, well, well, well
However far we travel
Wherever we may roam
The center of the circle
Will always be our home, yeah, yeah
Yeah, cleanup time
Cleanup time, cleanup time
Cleanup time, cleanup time
Cleanup time, cleanup time

The Ghost in You
04:05
|

|
A man in my shoes runs a light
And all the papers lied tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day
Angels fall like rain
And love is all of heaven away
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
A race is on I'm on your side
And hearing you my engines die
I'm in a mood for you
For running away
Stars come down in you
And love, you can't give it away
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
Don't you go
It makes no sense
When all your talking supermen
Just take away the time
And get in the way
Ain't it just like rain
And love, is only heaven away
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade

Ooh
Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
Ooh, my soul
Hey, did you boogie too, did ya?
Hey, shout, summertime blues
Jump up (up, down) and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
And where do we go from here?
Which is a way that's clear?
Still looking for that blue-jean baby-queen
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen

Vienna

Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me,
Why are you still so afraid? (mmmmm)
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day (Ay)
But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (Oooh)
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?
Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight (tonight)
Too bad, but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know you can't always see when you're right (you're right)
You got your passion, you got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true (Oooh)
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?
Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two (oooh)
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (oooh)
Why don't you realize... Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?

There's a brand new dance
But I don't know its name
That people from bad homes
Do again and again
It's big and it's bland
Full of tension and fear
They do it over there
But we don't do it here
Fashion, turn to the left
Fashion, turn to the right
Ooh fashion
We are the goon squad and we're coming to town
Beep-beep, beep-beep
Listen to me, don't listen to me
Talk to me, don't talk to me
Dance with me, don't dance with me
No
Beep-beep
There's a brand new talk
But it's not very clear, ooh bop
That people from good homes
Are talking this year, ooh bop, fashion
It's loud and it's tasteless
I've not heard it before, ooh bop
You shout it while you're dancing
On the dance floor, ooh bop, fashion
Fashion, turn to the left
Fashion (Right)
Fashion
We are the goon squad and we're coming to town
Beep-beep
Listen to me, don't listen to me
Talk to me, don't talk to me
Dance with me, don't dance with me
No
Beep-beep, beep beep
Ooh bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Fa fa fa fa fashion
Ooh bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Fa fa fa fa fashion, la-la-la-la la la la la
Ooh bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Fa fa fa fa fashion
Ooh bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Heart of the Country

I look high, I look low,
I'm lookin' ev'rywhere I go,
Lookin' for a home in the heart of the country.
I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go,
I'm gonna tell ev'ryone I know,
Lookin' for a home in the heart of the country.
Heart of the country where the holy people grow,
Heart of the country, smell the grass in the meadow,
Wo, wo, wo.
Want a horse, I want a sheep,
I wanna get me a good night's sleep,
Livin' in a home in the heart of the country.
I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go,
I'm gonna tell ev'ryone I know,
Livin' in a home in the heart of the country.
Heart of the country where the holy people grow,
Heart of the country, smell the grass in the meadow,
Wo, wo, wo.
Want a horse, I got a sheep,
I'm gonna get me a good night's sleep,
Livin' in a home in the heart of the country.
I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go,
Gonna tell ev'ryone I know, oo-oo-oo
In the heart of the country.
Heart of the country where the holy people grow,
Heart of the country, smell the grass in the meadow,
Wo, wo, wo.

Free Man in Paris
03:03

The way I see it, he said, you just can't win it
Everybody's in it for their own gain
You can't please 'em all
There's always somebody calling you down
I do my best and I do good business
There's a lot of people asking for my time
They're trying to get ahead
They're trying to be a good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
There was nobody calling me up for favors
And no one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stoking the star-maker machinery
Behind the popular song
I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If I had my way
I'd just walk through those doors
And wander down the Champs-Élysées
Going café to cabaret
Thinking how I'll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
Nobody was calling me up for favors
No one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stoking the star-maker machinery
Behind the popular song

Raven- so high
Cloaked in a starless sky
Carry angel hair
Patch up the holes left behind
Tears- perfect tears turn to diamonds
I'll cherish each one
They remind me of you
Raven- so high
flies though the moonless space
Carry your silver brush
Paint a new one in its place
Tears- perfect tears
fall upon the ground
I'll gather each one for you
I'll love you forever
