Hello
Hello, again
Hello
Hello, again

You might've forgot, the journey ends
You tied your knots, and you made your friends
You left the scene, without a trace
One hand on the ground, one hand in space

Oh, you passed on mercy, you tried the rest
You gave your body, you gave your best
Staring at your green door, livin' in the sky
You don't want to know it, you just want to fly

Hello, hello
Hello, again
Hello, hello
Hello, again

I know you're a dreamer, who's under the gun
I know you're a dreamer, who's only just begun

Hello, hello
Hello, again
Hello, hello
Hello, again

Oh, and when there's nothing
Nothing left to lose, you leave it all to fade to blue

You wanna feel electric, you wanna feel lose
You wanna be eclectic, you wanna call a truce
Look at the profile staring up the flame
Waiting for the sunshine standing in the rain

Hello
Hello, again
I said hello
Hello, hello
Hello, again
Hello, again
I said hello
Hello, again
Hello
Hello, again
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello

Summer, it turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It's like a merry-go-round
I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
High shoes with the cleats a-clickin'
A tempermental glow

Don't you let me go
I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
I got a hold on you tonight
I got a hold on you
I got a hold on you
I got a hold on you
That's right

Oh, oh it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh, oh it's magic
Just a little magic
You know it's true
Got a hold on you

Ooh twisted under sideways down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down
I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Till you realize
There's magic in your eyes

I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you tonight
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Yeah, oh

Oh, oh it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh, oh it's magic
Just a little bit of your magic
Pulls me through
You know it's true
Got a hold on you

I got a hold on you
I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
That's right
It's magic

Oh, oh it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh, oh it's magic
Just a little magic inside of you
You know it's true
Got a hold on you

. . .


Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late?
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong.
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

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 your ears
When you scream?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong.
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake?
Who's gonna come around
When you break?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong.
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

Oh
You know you can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong.
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

. . .


a-when you took the fall
and then you floated down
and then you took the jump
and you fell through clouds
yeah then you watched the world
beat the crowd

come on ride me high
(stranger eyes)
a-well a-ride me high
(stranger eyes)

yeah you took the fall
and then you landed soft
you thought to yourself
oo well I'm not alone
you with your dark red soul
and your chaperone

come on ride me high
(stranger eyes)
won't you ride me high
(stranger eyes)
come on ride me high
(stranger eyes)
ride me high
(danger [?] stranger eyes)
stranger eyes

oo well I need your touch
that means so much
oo well I need your touch
cause it means so much
a-ride me high

come on ride me high

(stranger eyes)
a-yeah ride me high
(stranger eyes)
ride me high
(stranger eyes)
oh, come on and ride me high
(danger [?] stranger eyes)
stranger eyes
(stranger [echo] stranger eyes)
(stranger [echo] stranger eyes)
(stranger [echo] stranger eyes)

You might think I'm crazy
To hang around with you
Maybe you think I'm lucky
To have something to do
But I think that you're wild
And inside me is some child

You might think I'm foolish
But baby it's untrue
You might think I'm crazy
All I want is you

You might think it's hysterical
But I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies
And everything's so deep
But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile

You might think it's foolish
What you put me through
You might think I'm crazy
All I want is you

And it is hard, so hard to take
There's no escape, without a scrape
But you kept it going 'til the sun fell down
You kept it going

You might think I'm delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere, sometimes
When you're curious
I'll be back around
And I think that you're wild
And so-o uniquely styled

You might think it's foolish
This chancy rendezvous
You might think I'm crazy
But all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you

. . .


it's not the night
for foolin'
it's not the night
for crazy eyes

I get the feelin'
you want to stay
I get the feelin'
you're givin' it all away

but I know
I know you take it well
and for you
for you I always fell

it's not the night
(it's not the night)
for, for sweet revenge
it's not the night
(it's not the night)
to spend

the time is right
to take it out
the time is right to tango

got a feelin'
you're runnin' out
before your last fandango

it's not the night
(it's not the night)
for sweet, sweet revenge
it's not the night
(it's not the night)
to spend

it's not the night
for sticky boots [?]
it's not the night
for tango

I get the feelin'
you're the spark
that's dancin' in the dark

I get the feelin'
you're the one
a rushin' on the run

it's not the night
(it's not the night)
for sweet revenge
it's not the night
(it's not the night)
to spend

it's not the night
(it's not the night)
you're lookin' for sweet, sweet revenge
it's not the night
(it's not the night)
night to end

it's not the night

. . .


dreamy lips set in motion flashing
breathless hush pounding soft lasting
glossy mouth taste untamed moving
carousel up and down
just like you

oh baby
just one more time to touch you
just one more time to tell you
you're on my mind
baby, why can't i have you
you're breaking my heart in two
you know what i'm going through
oh baby, why can't i have you

candy smile all the while glinting
your eyes like mica lethal pout hinting
felt the pressure tight and warm softly striking
i tripped and stumbled
i cling forever
i go all night

oh baby, just one mare time to touch you
just one more time to tell you
i'm not so blind
baby, why can't i have you
it's breaking my heart in two
you know what i'm going through
oh baby, why can't i have you

. . .


everything's heaven sent
that's what you said and went
inside your fairy glass
somethin' you think will last
and when they crop you like a clown
you got your smile on upside down

b-baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
find 'omebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

and everything's on a whim
that's what you said to him
lyin' in wunderlust
are feelings you never trust
and when they pamper you with ice
I can't believe you don't think twice

uh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

and everyone makes the play
with nothing left much to say
they're all in an endless line
waiting for equal time
they keep screaming it's the truth
and you keep kneelin' in the booth

oh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

oh, I do refuse
(I do refuse)
oh, you got nothin' to lose
(I do refuse)
find somebody else to use
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

I refuse
(I do refuse)
ah, oo-oo
(I do refuse)
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

I refuse
(I do refuse)
oo, oh got nothin' to lose
(I do refuse)
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)

Oh heartbeat city
Here we come
And happy days
Count on thumbs
And nothin’ really
Gets us down
As long as jacki’s
Back in town=85hmm

I’m glad you made it
I can’t complain

Oh jacki (echo)
What took you so long
On just a holiday
Oh jacki (echo)
What took you so long
I thought you knew the way
(heartbeat city)

The noise electric
Never stops
And all you need
Is what you got
And there’s a place
For everyone
Under heartbeat city’s
Golden sun

(jacki)
Oh jacki
(what took you so long)
What took you so long
On just a holiday
Oh jacki (echo)
(what took you so long)
What took you so long
(so long)
I thought you knew the way

Oh, yeah yeah yeah

You know? (unintelligible)
I’m glad you made it
I can’t complain
I missed you so badly
When you jumped that train

(jacki)
Oh jacki
(what took you so long)
What took you so long
On just a holiday
Oh jacki (echo)
(what took you so long)
What took you so long
(so long)
(thought you knew the way)
I thought you blew away

(heartbeat city)
Oh heartbeat city
Lights at night
(heartbeat city)
Keeps getting closer
Out of sight
(heartbeat city)
Heartbeat city’s
On the loose
(heartbeat city)
Better catch
The blue caboose
Oh, huh, heartbeat city
It’s my life, uh
(heartbeat city)
(heartbeat city)
(heartbeat city)
