Welcome to the Real World

Black / White

We are two shadows moving on a wall
Two characters both weak and strong
We chant and we dance, we draw ourselves in
Then we run from each other again

Chorus:
Love is so strange, how we change from day to night
Love is so strange, how we change from black to white
Ever so strange, how we change from day to night

Hey yeah

I draw a picture of your face, another time, another place
We are the ones who fell into this love
We must be in the right place

(chorus)

That's right, that's right, that's

(Solo)

(chorus)

That's right, that's right, yeah
Love is so strange, love is so strange, love is so strange
Ooh, love is so strange, love, how we change, yeah yeah
Love is so strange, how we change, we change, we change, we change
How much we change, much we change, yeah

(chorus)

That's right, that's right, yeah

Love is so strange, how we change from black to white

Uniform of Youth

I don't think I like this place, I don't think I like your face
I don't know if I'll stick around, I don't know I just might leave town
I don't care much what people say, nothing's perfect anyway
No one said that the world was fair, all I want is someone to care

Chorus:
I wear the uniform of youth and I hold on
I wear the uniform of youth and I hold on

Dress it up, play it down, take it out, kick it around
Never mind that I'm not like you, I'll just do what I've got to do

(chorus)

I wear the uniform of youth and I hold on
Yeah, just hold on

(Solo)

(chorus)

Yeah, just hold on
I wear the uniform of youth, gotta hold on, oh!

Don't Slow Down

I look into your eyes, I see the dream that I've been searching for
I'll search no more
The age of innocence is never truly spent when there is love
Still there to touch

Chorus:
So don't slow down, the wheels are turning, the fire's burning in us now
Don't slow down, don't lose the magic, we've come too far to turn back now

I ask to share your dreams, recalling empty scenes, you hesitate
It's not too late
I wish into your eyes, the truth of what I am behind the mask
Beyond the past

(chorus)

Don't slow down!

(chorus) - don't slow down

Don't slow down, yeah

Run To Her

I see myself locked in her arms, she looks inside my soul
She is much too beautiful to ever let go
Time - it passes much too fast, and time - I want to make it last

Ooh, I run to her, I run to her

Yesterday's a vivid dream, she came into my life
The sun was shining brightly, as we talked into the night
Time - how it passes much too fast, time - now I want to make it last

Oh, I run to her, I run, run to her

(Solo)

Ooh, I run to her, I run to her, ohhh

Into My Own Hands

Last night I had a desperate dream, I was standing in the winter rain
Footsteps close behind me, somebody called out my name, ohhh

No magic mirrors can erase, these lines of living on my face
Lessons learned and last, ohhh, ohhh

Take this life - into my own hands, make this world - into my own land
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - into my own hands
Take this life - into my own hands, I'll take my stand

I was walking in the summer sun, thinking that my life had just begun
How wrong could I be, ohhh, ohhh

Take this life - into my own hands, make this world - into my own land
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - in my own hands
Take this life - into my own hands, take this world - I'll take my stand
Take this life - into my own hands, take this world - I'll take my stand

(Solo)

Take this life - into my own hands, make this world - into my own land
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - in my own hands
Take this life - into my own hands, take this world - into my own hands
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - into my own hands

Into my own hands, into my own land, I'll take my stand, into my own hands

Is It Love

I say I love you, I hold you near me
You say I scare you, well that's your fear
I know the message my heart is sending
But you don't read it, you keep me guessing

Is it love, is it love you're after
Is it love, is it, is it love

The broken record goes round and round
Within a circle, without a sound
I'm under water, in overdrive
You hide in laughter, what's on your mind

Is it love, is it love you're after - why don't you tell me
Is it love, is it, is it love
Is it love, is it love you're after - why can't you tell me
Is it love, is it really love

(Solo)

Is it love, is it love you're after - why can't you tell me
Is it love, is it, is it love
Is it love, is it love you're after
Hey girl, I got to know, is it really, really love
Is it love, is it really love - hey

Is it love, is it love you're after - why don't you tell me
Is it love, is it, is it love
Is it love, is it love you're after
Everybody's lookin' for the magic love to come along and hope we'll find it
Is it love, is it really love... (to fade)

Kyrie

Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison, kyrie

The wind blows hard against this mountain side, across the sea into my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide, setting my feet upon the road

My heart is old, it holds my memories, my body burns a gemlike flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine, is where I find myself again

Chorus:
Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleison, where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light

When I was young I thought of growing old, of what my life would mean to me
Would I have followed down my chosen road, or only wished what I could be

(chorus repeats out...)

Broken Wings

Baby, I don't understand, why we can't just hold on to each others' hands
This time might be the last, I fear, unless I make it all too clear
I need you so, ohh

Chorus:
Take these broken wings, and learn to fly again, learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing, the book of love will open up and let us in

Take these broken wings

Baby, I think tonight, we can take what was wrong and make it right, mmm
Baby, it's all I know, that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole, I need you so, so

(chorus)

Take these broken wings, you've got to learn to fly
Learn to live life so free
And when we hear the voices sing, the book of love will open up and let us in
Yeah yeah, let us in, let us in

(Solo)

Baby, it's all I know, that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, so

(chorus)

Take these broken wings, you've got to learn to fly
Learn to live your life so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up for us and let us in, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, oooh

Tangent Tears

Through all the ragged truth, you left one poignant lie
A nice series of words for goodbye
Who's playing on your team, he has a certain flair
'Cos I don't see you around anywhere

I cry when you're not here, I keep cryin' tangent tears, oh
Ooh yeah, cryin' tangent tears

I'm stuck on interphase, my heart does not forget
Checking out at this point is no sweat
Chill factor number nine, you made my heart go blind
You act so cold but you still look so fine

I cry when you're not here, I keep cryin' tangent tears, ooh
I cry when you're not here - eveything I see reminds me
I'm cryin' tangent tears

(Solo)

I cry when you're not here, I keep cryin' tangent tears - cry tanase-yeah
I'm cryin' tangent tears - eveything I see reminds me
I'm cryin' tangent tears
I cry when you're not here, ooh, I keep cryin' tangent tears - ohhh
I cry when you're not here... (to fade)

Welcome to the Real World

I'm cryin' tears of joy, I'm cryin' tears of pain, I'm cryin' tears of joy
They run down my face into a river that winds its way into your life

Welcome little one, to this place of earth and stone
Welcome little one, all blue eyes and innocence
The world is so much colder than your own soft glance

Chorus:
Hey, it's a human race, hey, it's a brave new place
Hey, now you're at the gate
Welcome to the real world, there's so much to learn, welcome to the real world
Welcome to the real world, there's so much to learn, welcome to the real world

The past is a memory, the chains that were choking me
I'm cryin' tears of pain, I'm cryin' tears of joy
I see my freedom lying in my arms tonight

(chorus)

(Welcome to the real world) I know you'll find your way
(There's so much to learn) in the real world
(Welcome to the real world)

(Solo)

Welcome to the, welcome to the (there's so much to learn)
Welcome to the (welcome to the real world) welcome, welcome
(Welcome to the real world)
