Cyndi Lauper Album

Listen to the sound when ya....
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty yea yea yea yea...

How do you see yourself inside your mind?
Do you ever catch yourself step out of time?
If i had a dollar every time i tried
I'd be living high and mighty

How do you see yourself inside your mind?
Who do you look at when you close your eyes?
If i had a dollar every time i cried,
I'd be living high and mighty, yes yes yes...

Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty, ma my, ma my, ma my...

Then i guess it wouldn't be so bad without you,
Wouldn't even mind the things that you
Wouldn't walk away all steamy, cool
I'd be living high and mighty yea yea yea

Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty yea yea yea yea...
Living... ma my ma my ma my

Listen to the sound when ya...

I keep a coat rack by my bed
Up against your closet and next to my head
Didn't mean to trap your cloths
Keep the door blocked, closed
So you can't get in and i can't get out
Sink into my pillow and dream what it's about

To be living high and mighty
To be living high and mighty, yea yea yea

Ma my, ma my, ma my...
Living high and mighty
I' d be living high and mighty
And keep the door blocked closed
My, my, my,
Yea, yea, yea

Got this endless itch to ride
Into the night
Fortune cookie says i'm right
Kung Foo like

Shake your body Mister
Gonna make ya body blister, say hey, hey, hey
Don't wanna have ta make ya
I don't wanna have ta shake ya down, hey, hey, hey

I'll take ya till ya all spun up
Pitter, patter doesn't matter what you got
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love
And into the night life
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love
And into the night life

Want to dress for you tonight
Under the light
Shot up like a satellite
Into the night
Shake ya money maker
I will never ba a faker now, hey hey hey
Leave 'em standing waitin'
Till they're practically faintin' now, hey hey hey

I'll take ya till ya all spun up...

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight
Under the light......

All she ever wanted when the day turned indigo,
Was to leave her grubby life behind her
To the buzzing streets below
Tainted passion and temptation
Led her down a trail of lust
Now the fate of Faye Delroy
Is written in the dust
Written in the dust

Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me back and make me be there

She said her head don't move the same way
That ther hand ususlly does
That she's got memory bubble
Almost like the rest of us
And ADD salamanders
Cannot figure what to wear
And they'll be standing in the closet
And every dress is savoir faire
Every dress is savoir faire

Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air...
Rock me here rock me there
Rock me in my rocking chair
My oh my, rock me tender in the night air...

Za va ba, za ba bi ya.... ca va pas? za ba bi ya...
Romeo Boyz, they'll b dancing with the Cha Cha Girlz

Oh my rockin chair
Rock me tender in the night air
Oh my rockin chair
Rock me back and make me be there..

Woke up to the clock
What knob makes it stop
Time to be aware
Time to just be there
You go, go , go, go,
I go, go , go, go,
Conversations rare
Trail off in the air
Echo, echo, home , home

All that rolls our way
Wheels that time will play
Happiness grows back
Heartache leaves a scratch
You go. go, go,go,
I go, go, go , go
Everyplace i go
Never told you so
Echo.. echo.. home home

All of my days, all of my life
Standing by you
All of my days, all of my life
I will find you
All of my days, all of my life
Standing by you
All of my days all of my life
Landing next to you

When you're on the top
Notice what you've got
I will be your frail
When your on the trail
You go. go, go,go,
I go, go, go , go
Everything you know
Everywhere you go
Echo... echo... home home...

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya,it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink

But i'm learning to time myself
Turn it easy over
Put some spice back on the shelf

Like elevator buttons go on and on
Doors that open and shut without a cause
There's something greater than i dare to know
Look at me, pull the thread on this sweater
And watch it go

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya, it can make ya...
The struggle hard and deep
Of what i learn to keep along the way everyday
Little one, i take your hand
And wonder how i'm gonna help ya be a man...
And how i'll help ya understand...

Lyfe it can shake ya,it could make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink

Two steps forward, one step back
Cover my mouth, choke
And pull down my hat

Into the seamless hope of an endless drive
Clinging to the rhythm of a lyfe like stride
White washing down trodden people
They're displayed like a grand masquerade
Making us feel better that we are brave>

Like letters that fade into dust
Like harmony, kindness and trust
Wisdom eluding me, wise guys using me
Peace, peace in, peace out
That's right, what 's it all about?
Huh?

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
It can bring ya to the bring...of lyfe
Along the way
Everyday, lyfe

People slippin' in the rain
I watch them get up again
It makes me feel like I can too
Hey hey ya

Just when I get off the ground
Your back tryin' to put me down
Like some simpleton you can use
Hey

With your two different sets of rules
The same old fucking story
One for me two for you

Rich man, poor man, beggar man thief
You can fool some people
But you can't fool me
Harbor all the hate and greed
Threaten demise of democracy

There's a raging storm
In a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind
With celebrityM
There are darker times for me
Behind smoke and mirrors, amputees
It's a different world
Now i see the deflowering
Of the birds and bees

There's a raging storm
In a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity

You can fight for the right to be
But ya better not do a bad show on MTV

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
You can fool some people but you can't fool me
Smart Bombs, Rock Stars, Suit Case Queens
God's love we deliver out destiny

There's a raging storm in a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity
Come on people, yea yea, yea, yea

There's a raging storm in a troubled sea
But you're clouding my mind with celebrity
Come on people, yea yea, yea, yea,......

An empty street, a quiet smile
Without steady feet
You know the reckless kind
Keep coming, coming back
To the same old place
With that wild eyed stare
Up in your face

Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town
Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town

He must have lost his soul
When he found the rent
He wrestles with control
Still hasn't pinned it yet
Once in , once in a while
Loose that cigarette
There's always some strange smile
Underneath his breath

Lay me down, let me down...

... passion's fist against a wall
The crush of a kiss, the rise and fall
Take me there, take me there
To that wounded sound
It's just love's despair
Gone and hit the ground

Lay me down,, let me down
In a big old town... in a big old town...

Pressure on me
Can't get out
Situation it's a melt down
Nine to fiving, want to shout
New direction, got to get to high ground

I've got to get back to the floor
Just grab my keys and pop the door

Going to give it up
Get on down
Little by little going to turn it around...

Wash the week out
Of my mind
Slap my face on
Now i feel sublime
Put some sounds on
To unwind
Caught the moment
Just about the right time

I've got to get back to the floor
Just grab my keys and pop the door.. yea
Going to give it up
Get on down
Little by little...

Make my heart sing like a wild thing
Yea yea yea

Give it up....

When your heart is beating black and blue
And a cold world's looking back at you
When you're fading low around the bend
Go on turn around you'll see me
I will always be your friend

Set your heart free
Set your heart free...

Said you can't say much about today
Just that dark cloud coming back your way
And that your dreams are all worn thin
Well, you better stop with all that talk
Before it all starts happening

Set your heart free...
Listen to your heart...

When your heart is beating black and blue
And the old world's knocking down on you
And you're starting to become unglued
Don't go there, come on, you know i love you

Set your heart free...

Going to make a confession
Going to hope that you listen
I'm not a story you've read about
I'm just what i am
And when you open your eyes up
In the morning you rise up
Wash yesterday form your face
And make a new plan

Oh it's my fascination with the anticipation

If you want to grab a hold
If you want to grab a hold
If you want to grab a hold
Let it go..

I'm going to write down a letter
And maybe some day you'll get it
And know what i meant to say
And make it ok
And if ya look at my picture
You know the one on your dresser
And if you think that you see a frown
Turn me upside down

Why don't you use your imagination?
Make it what you have to make it

If you want to grab a hold..
Let it go...

You get your grip,
I'll hold you up.
Just reach with your hand
And then use your imagination
Make it want you have to make it

If you want to grab a hold..
Let it go...

I saw you gather all your hope with all your dreams
I waved just like a shooting star that once I waved to me
I am a lover in mid-air
I think it about it; I don't care
Into the fire of despair
Just like a train that goes nowhere

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain rain on me

There was a time I got it wrong
It shakes my memory
And all the time I had it all
Its just I couldn't see
I am a robber in the dark
Singing about a broken heart
Answering whistles in the air
Waiting for someone else to care

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me

When the rain came tumbling down
And both your feet were on the ground oh
Running fast and free oh yeah
Well maybe time gonna wear you out
or maybe you're gonna come around or
we'll just wait and see oh yeah

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain rain on me

Yeah you can rain on me
But you can rain...
