Zoo Station
I'm ready Ready for the laughing gas I'm ready Ready for what's next Ready to duck Ready to dive Ready to say I'm glad to be alive I'm ready Ready for the push
In the cool of the night In the warmth of the breeze I'll be crawling around On my hands and knees
She's just down the line ... Zoo Station Got to make it on time ... Zoo Station
I'm ready Ready for the gridlock I'm ready To take it to the street Ready for the shuffle Ready for the deal Ready to let go Of the steering wheel I'm ready Ready for the crush
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright It's alright ... it's alright ... it's alright ... it's alright Hey baby ... hey baby ... hey baby ... hey baby ... It's alright It's alright
Time is a train Makes the future the past Leaves you standing in the station Your face pressed up against the glass
I'm just down the line from your love ... Zoo Station Under the sign of your love ... Zoo Station I'm gonna be there ... Zoo Station Tracing the line ... Zoo Station I'm gonna make it on time ... make it on time ... Zoo Station Just two stops down the line ... Zoo Station Just a stop down the line ... Zoo Station
Even Better Than The Real Thing
Give me one more chance, and you'll be satisfied. Give me two more chances, you won't be denied. Well my heart is where it's always been My head is somewhere in between Give me one more chance, let me be your lover tonight.
(Check it out) You're the real thing Yeah the real thing You're the real thing Even better than the real thing.
Give me one last chance, and I'm gonna make you sing Give me half a chance to ride on the waves that you bring You're honey child to a swarm of bees Gonna blow right through ya like a breeze Give me one last dance, we'll slide down the surface of things
You're the real thing Yeah the real thing You're the real thing Even better than the real thing.
We're free to fly the crimson sky The sun won't melt our wings tonight. Oh now, oh yeah, here she comes Take me higher, take me higher You take me higher, you take me higher.
You're the real thing Yeah, you're the real thing. You're the real thing Even better than the real thing. Even better than the real thing. Even better than the real thing.
One
Is it getting better, or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame? You say one love, one life, when it's one need in the night. One love, we get to share it Leaves you baby if you don't care for it.
Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love and you want me to go without. Well, it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light. We're one, but we're not the same. We get to carry each other, carry each other... one
Have you come here for forgiveness, Have you come to raise the dead Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head Did I ask too much, more than a lot You gave me nothing, now it's all I got. We're one, but we're not the same. Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again.
You say love is a temple, love a higher law Love is a temple, love the higher law. You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.
One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should. One life with each other: sisters, brothers. One life, but we're not the same. We get to carry each other, carry each other. One, one.
Until The End Of The World
Haven't seen you in quite a while I was down the hold, just passing time. Last time we met it was a low-lit room We were as close together as a bride and groom. We ate the food, we drank the wine Everybody having a good time except you. You were talking about the end of the world.
I took the money, I spiked your drink You miss too much these days if you stop to think. You led me on with those innocent eyes And you know I love the element of surprise. In the garden I was playing the tart I kissed your lips and broke your heart. You, you were acting like it was the end of the world.
In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they'd learned to swim Surrounding me, going down on me Spilling over the brim Waves of regret and waves of joy. I reached out for the one I tried to destroy. You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world.
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
You're dangerous, 'cos you're honest. You're dangerous, you don't know what you want. Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot For any spirit to haunt.
You're an accident waiting to happen You're a piece of glass left there on a beach. Well you tell me things I know you're not supposed to Then you leave me just out of reach.
Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna drown in your blue sea? Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?
Well you stole it 'cos I needed the cash And you killed it 'cos I needed revenge. Well you lied to me 'cos I asked you to. Baby, can we still be friends?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna drown in your blue sea? Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?
Ah, the deeper I spin Ah, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin. Took a drive in the dirty rain To a place where the wind calls your name Under the trees, the river laughing at you and me. Hallelujah! Heaven's white rose The doors you open I just can't close.
Don't turn around, don't turn around again. Don't turn around your gypsy heart. Don't turn around, don't turn around again. Don't turn around, and don't look back. Come on now love, don't you look back.
Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna drown in your blue sea? Who's gonna taste your saltwater kisses? Who's gonna take the place of me? Who's gonna ride your wild horses? Who's gonna tame the heart of thee?
So Cruel
We crossed the line, who pushed who over? It doesn't matter to you, it matters to me. We're cut adrift, but still floating. I'm only hanging on to watch you go down, my love.
I disappeared in you You disappeared from me. I gave you everything you ever wanted It wasn't what you wanted. The men who love you, you hate the most They pass right through you like a ghost. They look for you, but your spirit is in the air. Baby, you're nowhere.
Oh, love, you say in love there are no rules. Oh, love, sweet-heart, you're so cruel.
Desperation is a tender trap It gets you every time. You put your lips to her lips To stop the lie. Her skin is pale like God's only dove Screams like an angel for your love Then she makes you watch her from above And you need her like a drug.
Oh, love, you say in love there are no rules. Oh, love, sweet-heart, you're so cruel.
She wears my love like a see-through dress Her lips say one thing, her movements something else. Oh, love, like a screaming flower Love dying every hour. Ah, you don't know if it's fear or desire, Danger the drug that takes you higher? Head of heaven, fingers in the mire Her heart is racing you can't keep up. The night is bleeding like a cut Between the horses of love and lust we are trampled underfoot.
Oh, love, to stay with you I'd be a fool. Oh, sweetheart, you're so cruel.
The Fly
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight. They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by the moon Y' know I don't see you when she walks in the room.
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help. It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else. They say a secret is something you tell one other person So I'm telling you, child.
Voice 1 Voice 2 A man will beg Love, we shine like a A man will crawl Burning star On the sheer face of love We're falling from Like a fly on a wall The sky... tonight It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest. It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success. Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief; All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief.
Voice 1 Voice 2 A man will rise Love, we shine like a A man will fall Burning star From the sheer face of love We're falling from like a fly from a wall. The sky... tonight It's no secret at all.
Love, we shine like a burning star We're falling from the sky tonight
Voice 1 Voice 2 A man will rise Love, we shine like a A man will fall Burning star From the sheer face of love We're falling from like a fly from a wall. The sky... tonight It's no secret at all.
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky The universe exploding 'cos-a one man's lie. Look I gotta go, yeah, I'm running outta change; There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange.
