To the moon and back (Link)

She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles
And the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one

They're saying

Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for
The right kind of pilot to come
(and she'll say to him)

She's saying

(chorus)
I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we all belong
So would you be my baby?

Ooh-ooh
She can't remember a time
When she felt needed
If love was red then she was color-blind
All her friends they've been trialed for treason
And crimes that were never defined

She's saying

Love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for
So baby gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on
The stars

(What a pleasant dream) just saying

I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we all belong
So would you be my baby?

[instrumental]

Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot
To come (and she'll say to him)

She's saying

(repeat chorus)

Yeah

[instrumental]

Anytime I need to see your face
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings take up shelter
In the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola

I don't even try to explain
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again
I might move so slightly
To the arms
And the lips and the face
Of the human cannonball that
I need to I want to...

Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you

Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out

I'm the kind of person
Who endorses a deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect
Is what I live for
But a look and then
A smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor
And I don't know what I'm in for

Conversation has a time and place
In the interaction
Of a lover and a mate
But the time of talking
Using symbols, using words
Can be likened
To a deep sea diver
Who is swimming with a raincoat

Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you when
I get to you

Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to out
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out

Anytime I need to see your face
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings take up shelter
In the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a cherry cola

I don't even try to explain
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again
I might move so slightly
To the arms
And the lips and the face
Of the human cannonball that
I need to I want to...

Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to out
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out

Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to out
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out

Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to out
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living. A deeper meaning. Yeah..

I wanna stand with you on a mountain,
I wanna bathe with you in the sea.
I wanna lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me...

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven and make you want to cry..
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of..
The highest powers. In lonely hours. The tears devour you..

I wanna stand with you on a mountain,
I wanna bathe with you in the sea.
I wanna lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me...

Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes 'cause it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come...

I'll be your dream I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do...

I wanna stand with you on a mountain,
I wanna bathe with you in the sea.
I wanna lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me...

I wanna stand with you on a mountain,
I wanna bathe with you in the sea.
I wanna live like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me...

Oh yeah... oh yeah

[repeat until fade]

And we stare each other down
Like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind
And we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it. Oh we do it.

Is love really the tragedy?
The way you might describe
Or would a thousand lovers
Still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...
These tears of pearls

Chorus:
All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away
Like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
We keep locked away from all the world

Your kisses are like pearls,
So different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away
And love has left you bare,
Made you cry...
These tears of pearls

Well I could be the tired joker
Pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness
Just so I could win
Maybe cry...
These tears of pearls

Chorus:
All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
We keep locked away from all the world

We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers, we will learn
That once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death,
The death of you...
Baby!
C'mon darlin'
Mm, mm, mm, mm... Yeah....

Chorus:
All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
We keep locked away from all the world

All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
We keep locked away from all the world

Well I'd like to take you as I find you
Imagine our clothes are on the floor
Feel my caress so soft and gentle
So delicate you cry for more
But you know baby, You know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right.

Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know
So you can be free baby
You wanted it so much
And now that its over
You don't know what you want

Put time in a capsule
Two minds consensual
Entwined to perfection,
If only we could....

Cuddle up close, Lay on my chest now
Listen my heart beats coming down
If you get tired you close your eyes now.
When you wake I wont be found
Cause I know baby
I know you're the nervous kind
With so much going on in your mind

Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know
So you can be free baby
You wanted it so much
And now that its over
You don't know what you want

But let me tell you that, this time
I'm gonna make you mine
(I wont let you go)
Cause I know this time
I'm gonna make sure I look out for me.

Cause you know baby, You know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right.

You will only end up lost in loneliness
And wake up with the words already on your lips.
So I'll let you go baby
So I'll let you go...

Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know
So you can be free baby
You wanted it so much
And now that its over

The moonlight...
Shines down interstellar beams
And the groove tonight
Is something more than you've ever seen
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late

Chorus
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing

You're never safe 'till you see the dawn
And if the clock strikes
Past midnight, the hope is gone
To move under...the moon

Chorus

Move. Closer. Passion. Stronger.

There's a magic only two can tell
In the dark night
Ultraviolet is a wicked spell.
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late

Chorus

Moving on... Moving all night

Chorus

Moving on... Moving all night

Chorus

If there's a way that you could
Be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it came
Too easy?
Just like the games with you and me
A resolution hard to see.
But that's O.K. 'cause I don't
See things that are plain to see

I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world,
And it's no lie.

You want to give ectasy delivered
With certainty
But you're afraid the pleasure
Won't be needed
In a way, we're the same two people
Looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our
Fantasies

If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie.

Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside you head (Violet)
Wear a colour that you want to
Cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)

Conemplate jelousy intermixed
With urgency
A million things take a damned
Good shot at you and me

If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie

Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside you head (Violet)
Wear a colour that you want to
Cling to
The coulor inside your head (violet)

I'm gonna take you
I'll do my best to break you
I'm gonna take you higher
And that's no lie

Comman sense is a game many
People don't like to play
But give it in and the moment takes
You either way

I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world,
And that's no lie

Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside you head (Violet)
Wear a colour that you want to
Cling to
The coulor inside your head (violet)

If there's a way that you could
Be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it came
Too easy?
In a way we're the same two people
Looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our
Fantasies.

I never thought I'd change my opinion again
But you moved me in a way that I've never known
You moved me in a way that I've never known

But straight away you just moved into position again
You abused me in a way that I've never known
You abused me in a way that I've never known

Chorus:
So break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone

So you're the kind that deals with the games in the mind
Well you confuse me in a way that I've never known
You confuse me in a way that I've never known

Chorus:
So break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone

She says, "I can help you, but what do you say?"
But it's not for free baby, you'll have to pay
You just keep me contemplating, that your soul is slowly fading

God don't you know that I live with a ton of regret?
'Cause I move you in a way that you've never known
But then I accused you in a way that you've never known
But you hurt me in a way that I've never known...

Chorus:
Break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
(Listen, baby)
You'll be, you'll be alone
Break me shake me hate me take me make me
Fake me break me shake me hate me take me
Break me

We stumble in a tangled web
Decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies.

We twist and turn and we avoid
All the hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes.

So take all this noise to your brain
Send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud.

You can resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more.
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore.

Time manipulates your heart,
Preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind.

But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract, convictions read
I may perplex but I'm not blind.

So take all this noise to your brain
Send it back again.
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up, and then...
I'll say the words out loud.

You can resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more.
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore.

I'll say the words out loud
I'll say a thousand words or more

Manipulation. Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation.
I'll say a thousand words or more.
Damnation. Frustration. Elevation. Procreation.
I'll say a thousand words or more.

You can resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more.
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore.

Well don't you know I need a little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becoming hunted
Every day there's a million advances
Don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
Well don't you know that time is a broken glass
That splinters against the wall?
But the picture is coming back now, baby
And I want to take it all

Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone

So let your body move a little bit closer
Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
Don't you know that powerful thinking
Can be a force you don't want to relinquish?
Well don't you know that
They say that hanging on will justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase

Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone

Well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down
I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade
So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell
'Cause when it comes down to the making
You better be damned sure you can take it
Hey baby

Well don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone

Time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up.....
A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool
Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby

In Santa Monica, in the wintertime,
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from
The coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable,
Everywhere you turn it's there.
I sit and wonder what am I doing here

But on the telephone line I am anyone,
I am anything I want to be.
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
Would you?

In Santa Monica,
All the people got
Modern names like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica,
On the boulevard,
You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters
Or they'll knock you down

I never felt so lonely
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this

But on the telephone line I am anyone,
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
On the telephone line I am any height,
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?

Or would you?
