Senses
Working Overtime
One, two, three, four, five!
Hey, hey,
The clouds are away.
There's straw for the donkeys,
And the innocents can all sleep safely,
All sleep safely.
My, my,
Sun is pie.
There's fodder for the cannons,
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely,
All sleep safely.
And all the world is football-shaped
It's just for me to kick in space
And i can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference
Tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and the pleasure
And the church bells softly chime.
Hey hey,
Night fights day.
There's food for the thinkers,
And the innocents can all live slowly,
All live slowly.
My, my,
The sky will cry
Jewels for the thirsty,
And the guilty ones can all die slowly,
All die slowly.
And all the world is biscuit-shaped,
It's just for me to feed my face,
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,
And I've got one, two, three, four, five,
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five,
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference,
Tween a lemon and a lime,
Pain and pleasure,
And the church bells softly chime
And birds might fall from black skies,
And bullies might give two black eyes,
And kisses might skid on black ice
But to me it's very, very beautiful
And all the world is football-shaped,
It's just for me to kick in space,
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,
And I've got one, two, three, four, five,
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference
Tween the lemon and lime
Pain and pleasure
And the church bells softly chime

Moonshadow
One, two, three
Hey, ohh yea
I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, oh if,
I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, oh if,
I won't have to cry no more.
I'm being followed by a moonshadow
And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, oh if,
I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, oh if
I won't have to talk
Did it take long to find me?
I asked the faithful light.
Oh did it take long to find me?
And are you gonna stay the night?
I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow,
Moonshadow, moonshadow.

The
Whole of the Moon
I pictured a rainbow,
You held it in your hands,
I had flashes,
But you saw the plan,
I wandered out in the world for years,
While you just stayed in your room,
I saw the crescent,
You saw the whole of the moon,
The whole of the moon.
You were there at the turnstiles,
With the wind at your heels,
You stretched for the stars,
And you know how it feels,
To reach too high, (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon, (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon.
And I was grounded
While you filled the skies,
I was dumbfounded by truth,
You cut through lies,
I saw the rain-dirty valley,
Oh, you saw brigadoon,
I saw the crescent,
You saw the whole of the moon.
Yea!
I spoke about wings,
You just flew,
Well I wondered, I guessed, and I tried,
You just knew,
Well I sighed,
But you swooned,
I saw the crescent,
You saw the whole of the moon,
The whole of the moon.
With a torch in your pocket,
And the wind at your heels,
You climbed on the ladder,
And you know how it feels,
To reach too high (too high),
Too far (too far),
Too soon (too soon),
You saw the whole of the moon,
Whole of the moon.
Unicorns and cannonballs,
Palaces and piers,
Trumpets, towers, and tenements,
Wide oceans full of tears,
Flag, rags, ferry boats,
Scimitars and scarves,
Every precious dream and vision,
Underneath the stars.
You climbed on the ladder,
With the wind in your sails,
You came like a comet,
Blazing your trail,
Too high (too high),
Too far (too far),
Too soon (too soon),
You saw the whole of the moon,
Whole of the moon yea
Oh, oh, oh oh
Did you see the whole
Of the moon

Can
We Still Be Friends
We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends
We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know it, all gone
Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends
It's a strange, sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together
Da la, do do, da la, la la
La la la la la la la
Can we still be friends
Can we still get together sometime
La la la la la la la la la
You know life will still go on and on and on
We awoke from our dream
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad old song
Da la, do do, da la, la la

Breaking
Us in Two
Don't you feel like trying something new
Don't you feel like breaking out
Or breaking us in two
You don't do the things that I do
You wanna do things I can't do
Always something breaking us in two
You and I could never live alone
But don't you feel like breaking out
Just one day on your own
Why does what I'm saying hurt you
I didn't say that we were through
Always something breaking us in two
They say two hearts should beat as one for us
We'll fight it out to see it through
I say that won't be too much fun for us
Though it's oh so nice to get advice
It's oh so hard to do
They say two hearts should beat as one for us
We'll fight it out to see it through
I say that won't be too much fun for us
Though it's oh so nice to get advice
It's oh so hard to do
Could we be much closer if we tried
We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes
Maybe we could last an hour
Maybe then we'll see right through
Always something breaking us in two
There's always something breaking us in two
Yea, yea
Breaking us in two
Da, do, da da da, woo, woo, woo

I Feel
the Earth Move
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Oh baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Oh oh yeah yeah
Oh darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotion
Are something I just can't tame
I just got to have you baby no no no
Oh oh yeah yeah
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I just lose control
Righ to my very soul
I get hot
All over, all over, all over, all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
Tumbling down tumbling down
Tumbling down tumbling down
Tumbling down tumbling down

Anticipation
We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And I wonder if i'm really with you now
Or just chasing after some finer day
Anticipation, anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
And I tell you how easy it is to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me
Oh but I rehearsed those words just late last night
When I was thinking about how right tonight might be
Anticipation (yeah), anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
And tomorrow we might not be together
I'm no prophet, and I don't know nature's way
So I'll try to see into your eyes right now
And just stay right here,
Cause these are the good old days.
These are the good old days,
Stay right here, cause these are the good old days
These are the good old days
These are the good old days
These are the good old days
These are the good old days

Mona
Lisas and Mad Hatters
And now I know
Spanish harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City
Until you've seen this trash can dreams come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
While mona lisas and mad hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
This broadway's got
It's got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tune I might join in
Oh, I'll go my way alone
Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City
Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found oh
While mona lisas and mad hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
And now I know
Spanish harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
And now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City
Until you've seen this trash can dreams come true and
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you oh
While mona lisas and mad hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
Well unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
They know not if it's dark outside or light

Drop
the Pilot
I'm right on target, my aim is straight
So you're in love, I say what of it?
Things can change, there's always changes
I wanna try some rearranging, I say
Drop the pilot, try my balloon
Drop the monkey, smell my perfume
Drop the mahout, I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army to fight a losing battle
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need, I'm the one you need
You're kissing cousins, there's no smoke, no flame
If you lose that pilot I'll come fly your plane
If you want solid ground, come on and try me
Oh I can take you so high
That you're never gonna wanna come down, I say
Drop the pilot, try my balloon
Drop the monkey, smell my perfume
Drop the mahout, I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army to fight a losing battle
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need, I'm the one you need
I said animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need, I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need
Drop the pilot, try my balloon
Drop the monkey, smell my perfume
Drop the mahout, I'm an easy rider
Don't use your army to fight a losing battle
Drop the pilot, try my balloon
Drop the monkey, smell my perfume
Drop the mahout, I'm an easy rider
Don't use your army to fight a losing battle
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need, I'm the one you need
Drop the pilot
Drop the monkey
Drop the mahout, I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army to fight a losing battle
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need, I'm the one you need

Have
a Little Faith in Me
When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
When the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try baby
And have a little faith, faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, faith in me
And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here baby
From a whisper start
To have a little faith in me
And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch your, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith, faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, have faith in me
Well, I've been loving you for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
Cause for us there is no end
All you gotta do is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, I will hold you up
And your love gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Oh hey, oh darlin', have a little faith in me.
La la, oh, oh
La la, la la faith
