Joyride

i hit the road out of nowhere, i had to jump in my car and be a rider in a

love game following the stars, don't need no book of wisdom, i get no money

talk at all. she has a train going downtown, she's got a club on the moon and

she's telling all her secrets in a wonderful balloon. oh she's the heart of

the funfair, she's got me whistling her private tune. and it all begins where

it ends, and she's all mine, my magic friend.she says: hello, you fool, i love

you, c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride. she's a flower, i can paint

her, she's a child of the sun, we're a part of this together, could never turn

around and run. don't need no fortune teller to know where my lucky love

belongs oh no.cos it all begins again when it ends, and we're all magic

friends. she says: hello, you fool, i love you, c'mon join the joyride, be a

joyrider. i take you on a skyride, a felling like you're spellbound. the

sunshine is a lady who rox you like a baby.

you know i'm hotblooded, baby... get on up and kick it all the systems are

ready to go. well, are you ready or not? hey, i gotta know! baby, lay down the

blues and let those guitars bleed. i'm everything you wanted, i'm all you ever

need. cos i'm hotblooded, hotblooded, i need your lovin', i need your love so

bad. flash all the lights, i'll be a camera tonight. i'll snap the look on

your face when i'm squeezing you tight. yea, sisters o' soul, we gotta burn

this old house down. keep on beatin' those drums, keep on pumpin' up that

sound, yea yea yea yea yea. hotblooded, i'm hotblooded, i need your lovin', i

need your love so bad. i'm hotblooded, hotblooded, you gotta know it, i need a

shot of love so bad. i stay up late where the night's alive. no sleep at all i

work nine to five. it's honey do that and honey do this: "can i call you

in a time where the sun descends alone, i ran a long long way from home to

find a heart that's made of stone. i will try, i just need a little time to

get your face right out of my mind, to see the world through different eyes.

every time i see you oh i try to hide away but when we meet it seems i can't

let go. every time you leave the room i feel i'm fading like a flower. tell me

why? when i scream there's no reply, when i reach out there's nothing to find,

when i sleep i break down and cry. every time i see you oh i try to hide away

but when we meet it seems i can't let go. every time you leave the room i feel

i'm fading like a flower. fading like a rose, fading like a rose, beaten by

the storm, talking to myself, getting washed by the rain, it's such a cold

cold town.

hey now honey, you got to face the floor, you headed for the heart but you

couldn't find the door, could you? could you? well, i'm standing in the sun

but i'm living in the rain, i got to get a-whirlin' like a human hurricane

over you, over you. now you're looking like a fox on the run. and you're

faster than a shot from a gun. i'm pointing at you, oh you. talking 'bout you,

hey you. i thought we had love in store - you keep on knockin' on every door.

babe, i've seen it all before - you keep on knockin' on every door. ain't no

lovin' you ignore - you keep on knockin' on every door. keep keep knock

knockin' on every door - you keep on knockin' on every door. hey now honey,

time is all you've spent. you moved into the bed but you couldn't pay the

rent. could you? in the twinkle of an eye you electrify. i got to get

a-shootin' like a rocket in the sky, bye bye, goodbye. now you're burning like

you're hot on the scene. don't you love to steal a part of my dream? i'm

looking at you, oh you. talking 'bout you, yea you. i thought we had love in

store - you keep on knockin' on every door. babe, i've seen it all before -

you keep on knockin' on every door. ain't no sugar you ignore - you keep on

knockin' on every door. keep keep knock knockin' on every door. i thought we

used to have love in store - you keep knock knockin' on every door. hey babe,

don't run around here no more - you keep on knockin' on every door. ain't no

sugar you ignore - you keep on knockin' on every door. keep keep knock

knockin' on every door - you keep on knockin' on every door. you'd better

learn your lesson now...

what's the time? seems it's already morning. i see the sky, it's so beautiful

and blue. the tv's on but the only thing showing is a picture of you. oh i get

up and make myself some coffee. i try to read a bit but the story's too thin.

i thank the lord above that you're not here to see me in this shape i'm in.

spending my time, watching the days go by. feeling so small, i stare at the

wall, hoping that you think of me too. i'm spending my time. i try to call but

i don't know what to tell you. i leave a kiss on your answering machine. oh

help me please, is there someone who can make me wake up from this dream?

spending my time, watching the days go by. feeling so small, i stare at the

wall, hoping that you are missing me too. i'm spending my time, watching the

sun go down. i fall asleep to the sound of "tears of a clown," a prayer gone

blind. i'm spending my time. my friends keep telling me: hey, life will go on,

time will make sure i'll get over you. this silly game of love - you play, you

win only to lose.

save a prayer for a sinner and a saint, my baby's coming back. say a prayer,

hide hide away yea baby's coming back. hey hey hey, ain't gonna trouble his

wandering mind, gonna take on the time to find out if my love is soul deep -

spinning the heart round a wire. soul deep - a heavenly wave. soul deep -

heating the heart like a fire, soul deep is taking my breath away-ay-ay. save

a tear till the curtain will fall, well i'm saving them all for you. knock on

wood, is it understood that i'm saving it up for you. hey hey hey, love is a

hustle just a moment behind, gonna walk on the line to find out if my love is

soul deep... save a prayer for a sinner and a saint, my baby's coming back.

say a prayer, hide hide away yea yea baby's coming back. hey hey hey ride on

the soul train now i'm too close to hide, gonna take on the time to find out

if my love is soul deep...

going through the motions. ending up nowhere at all. can't see the sun on my

wall. going through emotions. ending up on a frozen morning with a heart not

even broken. seems i've been running all my life all my life. seems i've been

running all my life all my life like watercolours in the rain. find a place to

settle down. get a job in a city nearby and watch the trains roll on by. i'll

find the falling star. i'll fall in love with the eyes of a dreamer and a

dream worth believing. seems i've been running all my life all my life. seems

she's the top, she's got the world on a string. she makes me boogie, makes me

do anything yea yea. - hey now, touch the sky, you've got a certain kind of

look in your eyes. well, she's a miracle, she's all that i need like the water

and the air that i breathe yea yea. - hey now, reach the sky, there's a

certain kind of look in your smile. and i know what love can do. yes i know

what hearts can do. the big love is taking the wheel, the big love goes head

over heels, the big lust, bring it into the small world, the bigger, the

better. big love, waiting to catch the big one, head over heels, the big one,

bring it into the small world. i'm building the big big love, i'm building the

big big love. it's kinda strange, a bit mysterious, i gotta take it oh so so

serious. - hey now, touch the sky, you've got a certain kind of look in your

eyes. it used to be so hard, so lonely at night, well, she's my baby and i'm

feeling alright. - hey now, move the sky, there's a certain kind of look in

that smile. when i'm making love with her. when i'm making love to her yea. it

has to be a big thing. it's bringing me to my knees. has to be a big thing,

when the day gets dark over a thousand streets and you feel your heart is a

living beat. when you're all alone and you close your eyes, naked to the bone

the dream comes alive. do you get excited when i touch you in the night? my oh

my... do you get excited when i meet you every night? you won't let the night

pass you by. when your body's hot, the window's open wide. this moment's all

you got in this race of life. when you feel the fire is getting close to you,

hey baby, you know i'm lonely too. do you get excited when i touch you in the

night? my oh my... do you get excited when i meet you every night? you won't

let the night pass you by. i wanna know.

can't we leave the world outside just for a while? just for a while? and spend

some time, you and i, under this bright glorious sky. it's been so long since

i first saw you, but i still love that smile in your eyes. yes it's true,

right from the start, i believed in the church of your heart. yes it's you

that made me be part of and believe in the church of your heart. step inside,

lay yourself down just for a while, rest for a while. i can hear a thundering

sound beating inside when you're around. it's been so long since i first met

you, since we made love, you know how time flies. yes it's true, right from

the start, i believed in the church of your heart. yes it's you that made me

be part of and believe in the church of your heart. in the church of your

heart.

it's not the chapters he reads when you're feeling low down. it's not the

touch of his skin when you kiss him goodnight. it's not the money he spends

when you want to buy a daydream and not that miracle smile that makes the sky

bright. it's not the way his hands behave when you've turned out the light.

it's the small small small talk that makes it all happen. small small small

talk that makes you want to fly, yes it does. it's not the way he believes in

you like a religion. it's not the thrill that you get when he's holding you

tight. it's not the way his eyes persuade you to stay the night. it's the

small small small talk that makes it all happen (just like that). small small

small talk that makes you feel like flying, yes it does. information, heart

and soul, a whisper, a word, confessions that have to be heard. small small

talk, small small talk. come on now, come on now, come on - you make it rock

so heavenly. come on now, come on now, come on - you seem to talk so heavenly.

big words... small talk...

hi! i got to go, get aboard attack a love jet heaven and back. my-

my-my-my-my-my-my. and i got to find a power station with a beat, i can't take

no conversation. my-my-my-my-my-my-my. looking for the inspiration. all

succumb to the physical fascination, all succumb to the physical fascination.

hi! shake shake it up, this love divine, you're out of touch, babe, i'm going

out of my mind. my-my- my-my-my-my-mind. talk to me! why don't you talk to me?

c'mon and use your body language and have yourself a good time. my-my-

my-my-my-my-my. and radiate your sweet temptation. all succumb to the physical

lay it down, pull my heart to the ground. time's getting cold, now the leaves

all turn hard and blue. and i know when i gaze to the sun, no place to hide i

got nowhere to run from you, away from you. hold me now girl, i don't know

when, when we will ever meet again. that was then, baby, this is now, i try to

get over you. losing you... things will never be the same. can you hear me

call your name? if we changed it back again things would never be... in your

hand, babe, i don't understand, you've got the eyes of a child but you hurt

like a man always do, always do. touch me now girl, i don't know when, when we

will ever meet again. that was then, baby, this is now, time won't get over

you. losing you... things will never be the same. can you hear me call your

breathe some faith into my chest. lay me down, i need the rest. ever since the

sky turned grey i've waited for the perfect day. hey now - it seems you've

always touched me like the sun. there's no escape for the broken-hearted,

there's no return once you've lost your way. i say a prayer now our love's

departed that you'll come back to stay and bring the perfect day. blinded by a

crazy light i fell into the darkest night. those magic ties, the two of us, i

couldn't see it turn to dust. hey now - it seems you've always reached me like

the sun. there's no escape for the broken-hearted, there's no return once

you've lost your way. i say a prayer now your love's departed that you'll come

back to stay. bring back the perfect day.

are you ready? go! i hear your footsteps like you're walking. i hear your

voice like you're talking to me. and i can reach every moment, every caress

like i'm living a dream. down to the bone, go little darling. oh i remember

you, feels like it was yesterday. i remember you, you've got me running back

again. you shared my secrets and my laughter. i fell in love with the light in

your eyes and i believed that summer would go on and on for the rest of my

life. down to the bone, go little darling. hey I remember you, feels like it

was yesterday. i remember you, you've got me running back again. you've got me

BACK
