Take heart the pages turning fast
I'll be waiting here in the hourglass
There's a fire in the heartland
There is a dream on every door
When the past is a brass band
Then you know what you're shooting for
Brass & batons they fade away
They're only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they're gone
And the river keeps changin'
Johnny works harder every day
Got an eye on the good life
Fortune's just a day away
Sundial with a great hand
Sweeping dust across the floor
Puts the strain on a sane man
Til he knows what he's looking for
Brass & batons they fade away
They're only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they're gone
New moon in the evening
Playing tricks on my mind
I swear I felt you heavy breathing
On my neck a thousand times
So let's play it like we used to
Play it sweet and then
I'll meet you in the spotlight
When it comes 'round again
Brass & batons they fade away
They're only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they're gone
And their gone
. . .

What good is love if you're not wearing it baby
When you're dying of thirst and drowing in maybe's
When nobody else can touch that part of you
Me I stood out here in the open
And offered the one thing that nobody else had broken
As if I didn't know what you might do
I might lose
I have broken every rule the hard way for you
And I would do it all again
Just to spend the night with you
You took my love like a one armed bandit
Got reason to cry
Got more than I can stand and
I'm going down for the third time over you
It hurts the most when the knife keeps coming
I was standin' still when I should have been running
As if you didn't know what I might do
I might choose
I have broken every rule the hard way for you
And I would do it all again
Just to spend the night with you
I would follow every road with nothing else in view
Just like the frozen willow bends I have
Just to spend the night with you
Do you love to watch me break
Do you just love to watch me ache
On the chances that I take
Do you love to watch me break in two
Honey just to spend the night with you

Hometown sweetheart
Hung around in the dark
Only make a move or two
I was just a young fool
Never been to night school
Didn't know enough to be cool
So he found another lover
They went undercover
The way he stole my love was a crime
In order to keep the peace
Callin' out the police
Find him 'for I lose my mind
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
A complete investigation
What's his destination
Did he leave a trace at all
Book him on suspicion
Just look at my condition
He left me here to take the fall
That boy can surely play it rough
He oughta be in handcuffs
Make him wear a ball and chain
Oh he's just a heart stealer
Sweetest kind o' love dealer
He knows how to fix a game
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
Lonely heart in distress
Sending out an S.O.S.
All across the U.S. of A.
Come on back and serve your time
Right her in these arms of mine
Gotta have you home today
FBI CID help me help me help me please
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio

Ain't funny how time
Steals the feelings from a love affair
And there's no place to lay the blame
Cause it ain't a case of no one cares
Helplessly we just watch it fade away
Neither of us will admit it
But we're both aching to say
Weeooh I miss the days when we were
Crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
And I had my little jealousies
Weeooh bring back the days when we were
Crazy in love
I want to feel that way again
Remember when
We were crazy in love
It used to be so easy
One touch and I was high
I could get intoxicated
Just by looking in your eyes
Baby ain't there anything we can do
Cause I know you're missing me
As much as I've been missing you
Weeooh I miss the days when we were
Crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
And I had my little jealousies
Weeooh bring back the days when we were
Crazy in love
I want to feel that way again
Remember when
We were crazy in love
We were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love

If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
I know who I'll give it too
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love anymore
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
I know I know who will
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love anymore
If that's the way
That the world goes around
Then that's the way
That it all comes down
When you want me
Then I would be around
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
I know who I'll give it too
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love anymore

I know a cat named way out Willie
He's got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie
He can walk and stroll and Suzy Q
And do that crazy hand jive too
Papa told Willie you'll ruin my home
You and that hand jive has got to go
Willie said Papa don't put me down
They're doing that hand jive all over town
Hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
Mama Mama look at Uncle Joe
He's doing that hand jive with sister Flo
Grandma gave baby sister a dime
Said do that hand jive one more time
Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief
Now they all dig that crazy beat
Way out Willie gave them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet
Hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
Now Willie and Millie got married last fall
They had a little Willie Jr and that ain't all
Well the baby got famous and it's clear to see
They're doing that hand jive on TV
Hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive

You come home late
And you come home early
You come on big
When you're feeling small
And you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all
So what in the world's come over you
What in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and jealous mind
Well how can a love
That will last forever
Get left so far behind
So what in the world's come over you
What in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run
It's a mighty mean and dreadful sorrow
That crossed the evil line today
How can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain't go one word to say
So what in the world's come over you
What in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run

Lightning strikes more than twice
Thru the clouds to break the ice
And show us something better
We all chose to compromise
We kill out skills we robotize
Acid waste draws kids and flies
And diamonds turn to granite
Number one
Money buys anything anytime
Number one
The absurd the sublime
Look at all the things we take for granted
Blood from the bandit
Look at all the things we take for granted
Blood from the bandit
Number one
Money buys anything anytime

Honey let's take a photograph
One of just me an you
Cause no one ever makes me smile
The way that you do
We could make it into an 8x10
And hang it up on my wall
And it you wanted to sign it with all my love
Honey I won't mind at all
Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
Oh sweet fantastic fire of love
Now honey let's buy and rocket
And ride it to the moon
Wouldn't take much
We'd just live on love
Life in a silver spoon
We could buy a yacht that don't cost a lot
Sail it to the end of the sea
Wouldn't need a crew
Cause I'd have you
Holding on tight to me
Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
Oh sweet fantastic fire of love
You just really crept up on me
I never saw you coming
Well I tried to yell I tried to scream
But just stop short of running
We can call it lust you can call it luck
Call it anything you like
Its fiery hot and honey I've been caught
And I just want you tonight
Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
Oh sweet fantastic fire of love
Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
Oh sweet fantastic fire of love

Crimes of the heart
We're all guilty
Crimes of the heart
We're all willing
To take part
In another crime of the heart
Crimes of the heart
We're all careless
Right from the start
We stand fearless
The one day here we are
In another crime of the heart
How deep is you wish
How high is your dream
Do you ever know who you are
It's all in the memory
It's all in the moment
Oh caught in the crime from the start
Crimes of the heart
We're all children
Right from the start
We're only human
Knowing inside we are
Blinded by crimes of the heart
How deep is you wish
How high is your dream
Do you ever know who you are
It's all in the memory
It's all in the moment
Oh caught in the crime from the start
Crimes of the heart
We're all willing
We're all guilty
