Asia - Alpha

Hard times you had before you

I knew when I first saw you.
You girl
you've always been mistreated
cheated.
So leave it all behind you

I took so long to find you

I know that we can last forever

Ever and more
more
oh.
Don't cry now that Iire found you

Don't cry
take a look around you

Don't cry
it took so long to find you.
Do what you want
but
little Darling

Please - don't cry.
I know I'd never doubt it

I was so sure about it

DonY think of all that's been before.

I'll here you when you're calling.
Ill catch you when you're falling

Don't worry
I will always be there like never before.

Don't cry
now that I've found you
. . .
Don't cry
now that I've found you

The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

I saw you standing hand in hand
And now you come to me the solitary man.
And I know what it is that made us live such ordinary lives

The where to go
the who to see
no one could sympathize.
The smile has left your eyes
the smile has left your eyes.
And I've become a rolling stone

I don't know where to go or what to call my own

But I can see that black horizon looming ever close to view

It's over now
it's not my fault
see how this feels for you

The smile has left your eyes
the smile has left your eyes.
But I never thought I'd see you standing there with him

So don't come crawling back to me.
I saw you standing hand in hand . . .
Now it's too late to realize
now that no one can sympathize

Now that the smile has left your eyes.
Now it's too late to realize
now that no one can sympathize

Now it's too late to realize
now that the smile has left your eyes.
The smile has left your eyes

Never In A Million Years

Plain evil, I know what's on your mind
Never say you're leaving me behind
No trouble, get that from the start
You know the cost of loving is your heart

I would never leave you
I would never go
I would never leave you
Never in a million, never in a million
NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS

Pure pleasure, the love that's in your eyes
You never give me feelings in disguise
Same fever, it comes on all the time
Always lets me know what's on my mind
( ^^ sure sounds like 'your' )

Chorus

Live angel, you come to me and cry
Like tears of joy come raining from the sky
I'd never leave you, you knew that from
the start
I'll give it to you now straight from the heart

I would never leave you
NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS
I would never go
NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS

Chorus

My Own Time (I'll Do What I Want)

Walking through the snow kicking my heels
Seems that sunlight never felt so good before
Bet you really don't know how it feels
I don't have to answer to anyone no more
( ^^^^^^ sounds like 'no one' )
And better I've never felt
Nothing to show, but nothing to lose,
I'm on my own

Cast your mind back not so long ago
I was always busy playing by the rules
Bet you really thought I didn't know
( ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^ actually 'thought I really' )
You were double-dealing, now you're back
at school
Something you didn't learn
Faith in myself
Gives me the strength to carry on...

I'll do what I want to anyway
I'll do what I want and I'll do it in
MY OWN TIME

Don't give me that same old pack of lies
I'll tell you the story, how it really is
Want me to carry on? ( this line is in liner, but not in song )
You think you always had the upper hand
( ^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^ actually 'me under ties' )
Someone better tell you that the tide had turned
( ^^^^ ^^^ actually "table's" )
Getting your fingers burned, how does it feel?
Now it's for real this is the deal

I'll do what I want to anyway
I'll do what I want and I'll do it in
MY OWN TIME is on my side again
And one thing I intend
Is I'll do it in
MY OWN TIME

The Heat Goes On

You walk tall, got your head in the clouds
You talk soft, but you're thinking aloud
And you know, exactly what you want

You box shy, you're hard to get
You got the face that I can't forget
And I know, I know the heat goes on

I know that THE HEAT GOES ON
I know that THE HEAT GOES ON

You play tight, you're nobody's fool
Not cold, but I know that you're cool
Look at you, I know the heat goes on

Now tell me, with your hand on your heart
That you knew, you were right from the start
And you know, you knew it all along

You know that THE HEAT GOES ON
You know that THE HEAT GOES ON

Times to decide
Times that I've lied
Problems will never be solved
Which way is wrong?
Which could be right?
This heat will always go on
On and on

1st Verse

2nd Chorus

Eye to Eye

I don't want to see your picture
On a faded video
I don't want to turn the clock back
To the way it used to go

Can you give me any reasons
Why I made this sacrifice?
When you thought you walked on water
You were skating on thin ice

'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE
'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE

I don't want to be memory
Just another Anglophile
I would never learn your language
Could it be there's no more time?

Is there any reason talking
'Bout your crazy point of view?
You can't even try to answer
The questions that I put to you

'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE
'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE

The Last to Know

Standing alone in solitude
Holding your head in your hands
Tears play like rain on your fingertips
Who but yourself is to blame?
How could I offer sympathy
When all I feel is pure rejection

I was the first one to really know your name
And you were the first one for me
But everyone knew but me
You were the first one to ever let me down
And I was just THE LAST TO KNOW

I was the fool who trusted you
No evil thoughts in my mind
When I see you standing there with him
( actually, "When I saw you going out with him" )
Who can I blame, for this deception?

Chorus (x2)

True Colors

This evening really came as some surprise
It showed me just how little faith
I think back when you couldn't criticize
You sure were glad to see my face

But now your TRUE COLORS are giving away
^^^ ^^^ ^^^^ ^^^ ( not on album )
your lies
TRUE COLORS seeing them in your eyes

Chorus

For you the tables [sic] turned full circle now
And all those people you call friends
See who defends you when you're down again
Don't count on money-spinners then

They could be my TRUE COLORS maybe
^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^ ^^ ( not on album )
you'll see them then
TRUE COLORS twisting the knife again

Chorus

You did what you wanted to do
I lived to fight another day
I know what I want you to do, [just] pack your bags
( ^^^^ in song, not liner )
and get away

Midnight Sun

As far as the eye could see
From the horizon to infinity
Static forces down the line
Connecting voices talking rhymes

Can't decode nor can define
The signal's perfect indicates a sign

MIDNIGHT SUN
Guiding light
Take the eye
Go skimming
Across the sky

Chorus

As far as the eye could see
Communications were all down
Connecting voices in the air
New formations moving sound
Then came what I could not explain
I felt a hand, turned 'round and saw a face

MIDNIGHT SUN
Guiding light
Take the eye
Go skimming
Across the sky...

Chorus

Open Your Eyes

What on earth are you doing here, in the
western world?
Another situation, yeah you're a different girl
You have lived your life dreaming you were
someone else
Succeeding's believing in yourself

OPEN YOUR EYES
And see the world that stands before you now
OPEN YOUR EYES
And see the world that stands in front of you

You have spent your days trying for
something new
You have looked at magazine girls, wishing
that they were you
Do you see in photographs an angel that once
was you?
Does she tell you stories that are true?

OPEN YOUR EYES
And see the world that stands before you now
OPEN YOUR EYES
And see the world that stands in front of you

If I could stand with you right now and speak
my mind
I would tell you no lies
I would shoot straight between the eyes

You have stared a thousand times, right into
the lens
Have you ever thought just once, does it all
make sense?
Your beauty is eternal so don't just pretend
Got to wake up girl, or it's the end...
