Manic Monday

Six o' clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
Cause that's my fun day
I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane
I still couldn't make it on time
Cause it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the bus is already there

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it really matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

In a different light

I see you in a different light
I see you in a different light

I wanna make a movie
I wanna put you on the silver screen
Sit in a darkened room and look at you from a distance

Wanna write a novel
Freeze all your expressions into words
Come back later and read about what I should have heard

I see you in a different light
I see you in a different light

I want to paint your portrait
Hang your colors on my wall
Discussing form and content with my friends and drinks
And no one thinks at all...

I see you in a different light
I see you in a different light

Walking down your street

Ohhhhh, Oh I've had sleepless nights
Toss and Turn, wake up burning for you to inspire

So Im gonna walk right down your street
With a love that I cant hide
I’ve got one thing on my mind
Yeah and the second fights my pride

Coz I want you!

Ohhhhh, Oh how I wish you would be mine,
My pulse is weak, Im blushing brighter then a valentine

Coz I cant stop the way I feel
So I keep walking Ohhhhhhh
Coz I want you

Walking down, down your street,
Im walking down your street.
Walking down your street,
Down your street, Ohhhhh

Coz I cant stop the way I feel
So I keep walking Ohhhhhhhhhhh

Walk like an Egyptian

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian

All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian

Standing in the Hallway

Standing in the hallway
Trouble coming my way
He called me on the telephone
Guess i'm gonna be alone

Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a puzzle
In this great big world
I'm good to you but you're bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery

Tried to do it your way
You wouldn't meet me halfway there
You used to say you loved me
Now you just sit und stare

Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a puzzle
In this great big world
I'm good to you but you're bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery

If you wanna keep me here
You better try to make it clear
'Cause I'm halfway out the door
I can't take it anymore

Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a puzzle
In this great big world
I'm good to you but you're bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery

Return post

Writing the lines as they come to me
Scratching them out almost immediately
Don't know what it's done to me

It's cold and it's wet it's been raining all night
And there's a letter I've been trying to write
Something better waiting somewhere for me

One of them is sitting on the wrong coast
One awaits an answer by return post
Waiting, waiting

Try to remember how long it's been
There was more to us than paper and pen
Think how easy it is to conceal

And I know when we're together again
We'll be strangers for an hour and then
We'll have to figure out if this thing is real

One of them is sitting on the East coast
One awaits an answer by return post
Waiting, waiting

Take a drink and staring out the window
Wondering how long this can continue
Waiting, waiting

If she knew what she wants

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

I'd say her values are corrupted
But she's open to change
Then one day she's satisfied
And the next I'll find her crying
And it's nothing she can explain

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her (giving it to her).

Some have a style
That they work hard to refine
So they walk a crooked line
But she won't understand
Why anyone would have to try
To walk a line when they could fly.

No sense thinking I could rehabilitate her
When she's fine, fine, fine
She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head
She doesn't need nothing from mine.

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

(He'd be giving it to her)
(He could give her that too)
(But he can't see through her)
Ooooooh
Giving it to her
Giving it to her now

Let it go

One thing or another
Your head is filled with questions, sights and sounds
Distractions always get you down
Turn around

Trying to remember
Where you were the day before
North and south and east and west
Where to go

When it's over
When it's done
Let it go
Frightened by the numbers
All the possibilities
Changing minds you hope to find
One more dream
To remind you
What is lost can always be regained

September Gurls

September girls
Do so much
And for so long
'Til we touched
I love you, boy
Never mind
I've been crying
All the time

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad

September girls
I don't know why
How can I deny
What's inside
Even though I
Keep away
They will love
All our days

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad

When I get to bed
Late at night
That's the time he
Makes things right
Ooh when he makes
Love to me

Angels don’t fall in love

I saw you today
she's lovely
You're such a havenly pair
You hope and you pray
Someday she'll take you
all the way there.

You should know better
darling
when push comesty shove
Angels don't fall in love

You stand at the gate
hoping to gain admission
How long are you willing to wait
she won't give permission tonight.

You should know...

You've got your higher aims
got your ambitions
You think you're spiritual
and on some mission
Well I can see it when I look in your eyes
when you think of love
You think of compromise
it's no big desgrace
There is no loss of grace
The trouble is there's always someone
there to take your place
And the trouble is you
don't believe that is true
When the sun goes down
there's a something left for you
The trouble is I see you missing so much
While you're knocking on all the wrong doors
looking for some angel's touch
You think she's everything you're dreaming of-
The trouble is those angels
never fall in love

Following

You think I'm crazy or something
Always following you around
You say I'm a hopeless case
Run an obsession into the ground

You call me a loser
You call me a shadowing fool
Look over your shoulder
And you say I'm haunting you

So why do you call me
Why do you look for me
Why do your eyes follow me the way they do

You hold me responsible
Yeah, so I stand accused
Of causing all the trouble
After high school
(Between him and you)

You call me a loser
You call me a shadowing fool
But I was a good girl
Yeah, 'til you taught me
What it means to be true
Why do you call me
I know you look for me
Why do your eyes follow me the way they do

Not like you

Busted down and broken
all in two
but you never thought
this could happen to you
Wake up, stumble
trip and fall
you had so much
and now you've lost it all

How could you do it
it's not like you
to be the one to lose
why did you do it
it's not like you
but I'll be around for you

Such a sad and sorry
twist of fate
you tried to change
but it's too late
if you ever find out
what to do
Well. then it'll all
come back to you
