Theres no other way
In the multitude
Population, neighborhood
I look for you
Do you look for me
It's the only way you're gonna
Get topography up off the feet?
Gotta settle down and watch the dust
Gonna read the book all the rules that must
Sets the time to set the pace
You took me closer
One step closer to that place
You take me one step closer
And now I know we're there
It's better now than ever
Now I know you'll stay

And another way
It's a different world
Theres a shining light
And a darkened world
And it waited takes a path
To a different place, different time
Different vibe?
You take me one step closer
And now I know we're there
It's better now than ever
Now I know you're here
You take me one step closer
And now I know we're there
Much better now than ever
And now I know you'll stay

Found another way, another attitude?
Theres a population, in the neighborhood
I'm lookin for you
You look for me
It's the only way to get
To where we want to be
You take me one step closer
And now I know we're there
Much better now than ever
And now I know you'll stay
You're taking me one step closer
And now I know we're there
It's better now than ever
And now I know you'll stay with me
You're taking me one step closer
And now I know you're there with me
Much better now than ever

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties

And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties

And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning

A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries

Shadows in your room
Like a ghost you never see
Look in to the one you love if you're afraid of me

Ghettos in his eyes
He plays a torch song melody
Listen to the one you love if you're afraid of me

Ghost rider
E S P
Paperback rider
You can't fool me

When all is said and done
Babylon was meant to be
Shitting on the one you love if you're afraid of me

He's got the wild dog in his eyes
He's got a speedball in his brain
Running through the roads of love like a marathon man

Ghost rider
E S P
The devil inside her
Don't want it to be

Yeah the ghost rider
E S P
A paperback rider

Deep down in his soul
Every little boy knows
The he can't stop running so go

Look out
There's been a shoot out for love
I've got the shivers of love

Ghost rider
E S P
The devil inside her
I don't want it to be
Ghost rider
E S P
She's got the devil inside her
Oh no you can't

You can't fool me
Oh no you can't
You can't fool me
Oh no you can't
Yeah the ghost rider
E S P
Oh paperback rider
Oh no you can't fool

I had a walk the other day
To meet someone I think you know
The air was cold
Skies were so grey
Somebody lay on the ground below

All For You
All For You
All For You

Came face to face
Felt so uneasy
Oh so confused as what's going on
Just could not move
Feel so affaid
Whisper the words
The words were said

All For You
All For You
All For You

Into the street
People can meet
Don't turn your back to the view
The silver blade can cut up your throat
I tell you now
'Cause I know it's true

All For You
All For You
All For You

I had to walk the other day
To meet someone

And you
Yes you speak to me tonight
And you say so, say so
That once upon a time
When love, love was a white dove
And hope, long live hope, could spin the whole world 'round

I'm talking east to west
I'm talking lost and found
Get up to the mountain top
I'm going to drop unto the ground

That's once upon a time
You raise me up when I know you're around
But God only knows, what God only knows
You lift me up and you spin me around
God only knows, but God only knows

That's time
Time looked around herself
Time got excited
That's when we all got started

Still I hear you, yes still you speak to me tonight
You say then how come out of love, is all this cruelty arising?
Well I said, look, well will you look at you, you're frightened
I see that you smile through weariness
But there is not much else enlightened
Well, that's a question down to time

You life me up when I know you're around
God only knows, God only knows
Still you raise me up when I know you're around
God only knows, God only knows

Open inside something about this pain
There's something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that you're not there
And if I could care there's something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that you'd bring
If I had wings
I'm still standing

Blue mountain high
Only the fables get to fly
Without these words there's no reason why
It reminds me of all that you bring

If I had wings
Would like to teach myself
If I had wings
Would learn to stir myself
If I had wings
Strapped inside won't be denied

Nightmare brings
All that you said
And if I could fly
Long time saviour
That's the sinner's crime
Well without such trust
I know that I can never find
Never find - Never find - Never find

If I had wings
If I had wings

I'm still standing

Never find - Never find - Never find

Open inside something about this pain
There's something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that you're not there
And if I could care there's something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that you'd bring
If I had wings
If I had wings
If I had wings

And your love comes tumbling down
And you walk right in, your heart going round
You tell me that you'll be back early
But you know I'll be a while

Chorus:
Ooh Saturday Girl
Ooh Saturday Girl
When you drop by, I want to see you cry
Ooh Saturday Girl

When you go through the tunnel of life
You're gonna open your eyes
But you could cut the atmosphere with a knife around here
'Cos you know there is no compromise

Chorus:

When the moon lights up the street like diamonds
And all is still and quiet once again
I like to pull you here and whipser in your ear
Tell you what about the loney man

Ooh Saturday Girl

Is somebody there
I said is somebody there
I can see you there
I can fell you there
I know that love is around
I know that it's gonna be right
I know that it's gonna be right
If I could meet you over there
I would come over there
I know it's gonna be alright

Chorus:

Just think about it
Aah think about it
Come on think about it
Go on think about it
Just think about it
Go on think about it

Hey Waiter
I'm first class
Hey Waiter
Where are we now?
Am I last
Am I last
Hey Waiter
Don't talk back
These tenants speak
A traveller's language
Caucasian talk
They're saying nothing
I see a land
As we crawl by night
I see a face
In the window in front

These stations are useful
These stations we love them
Newspaper
Encounter
Confusion

Hey Waiter
I'm first class
Hey Waiter
What state is this?
These reptiles scream
A violent party
All art and jazz
And League of Nations
I see a land
As we crawl by night
I see a face
In the window in front
The east is calling
I'm feeling nervous
I love the western
Style and change

These stations are useful
These stations we love them
These stations are useful
These stations we love them
Newspaper
Encounter
Confusion
