Track Lyrics
Union City Blue Lyrics
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, what are we going to do?
Union, Union, Union City blue
Tunnel to the other side
It becomes daylight
I say, "He's mine"
[Verse 1]
Oh, power, passion plays a double hand
Union, Union, Union City man
Arrive, climb up four flights
To the orange side
Rearrange my mind
In turquoise Union, Union, Union City blue
Skyline, passion, Union City blue
[Verse 2]
Power, passion plays a double hand
Union, Union, Union City man
I say, "He's mine, I have a plan"
I say, "He's my Union City man"
[Outro]
Oh, oh, what are we going to do?
Union, Union, Union City blue
Oh, oh, what are we going to do?
Union, Union, Union City blue
Oh, oh, what are we going to do?
Union, Union, Union City blue
Shayla Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shayla worked in a factory
She wasn't history, she's just a number
One day, she gets her final pay
And she goes far away
[Chorus]
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa-whoa
[Verse 2]
Green trees call to me
I am free, but life is so cheap
Scenery is still outside of me
All alone, trapped by its beauty
[Bridge]
Shayla turned to run away
To leave in peace and end her stay
Years of fear were in her way
Lost in space and down she came
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Suddenly, some subtle entity
Some cosmic energy brushed her like shadows
Down here, we stop to wonder
Cars on the freeway, bright lights, and thunder
[Chorus]
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa
Accidents Never Happen Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No, I don't believe in luck
No, I don't believe in circumstance no more
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
So I won't believe in luck
I saw you walking in the dark
So I slipped behind your footsteps for a while
Caught you turning 'round the block
Fancy meeting in a smaller world after all
[Chorus]
Accidents never happen, could have planned it all, precognition in my ears
Accidents never happen in a perfect world, complications disappear
[Post-Chorus]
Now you love me, I, yeah, I can tell
I never lied, I never cried, and you, you knew so well
[Verse 2]
Like the magi on the hill, I can divinate your presence from afar
And I'll follow you until I can bring you to a perfect world
[Chorus]
Accidents never happen, could have planned it all, precognition in my ears
Accidents never happen in a perfect world, complications disappear
[Post-Chorus]
Now you love me, I, yeah, I can tell
I never lied, I never cried, and you, you knew so well
Now you love me, I, yeah, I can tell
I never lied, I never cried, and you, you knew so well
[Outro]
Accidents never happen in a perfect world, accidents never happen
Slow Motion Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What's all that commotion going on?
The boy in the back on his second attack
Wants his baby back (Wants his baby back)
What's all that commotion that you hear?
The girl in the back who was doing the quake
Got a bellyache (She can't concentrate)
[Bridge]
Pick up the beat, you can move like you're made out of vapor
"Catch me if you can," is what she said with her hands
Come on and take me back (Can you take her back?)
[Verse 2]
When she gives you the beat and you get the shine
The world slows down and she stops on a dime
Got a number when you close your eyes
Like a real magician
[Refrain]
Still, she knows she'll never lose a thing
She can put you up on a shelf until she wants to pull the string
Still, you know she'll never slip away
Keep time in your head
Counting in your head
[Chorus]
Slow motion, I can play with time
I can keep today, but tomorrow's fine
Stop and look at the pictures rolling in your head
Slow motion, you can play with time
You can leave her today, but tomorrow's fine
Stop and live in your dreams at night
Rolling in your bed
[Refrain]
Still, you know she'll never slip away
Keep time in your head
Counting in your head
[Chorus]
Slow motion, you can stop on a dime
Slow motion, you ought to try it sometime
Take me back on another track
Take me back, take me back
Slow motion, you can pick up the beat
Slow motion, you can stop on the street
Take me back on another track
Take me back, take me back
Slow motion, you can stop on a dime
Slow motion, you ought to try it sometime
Take me back on another track
Take me back, take me back
Slow motion, you can pick up the beat
Slow motion, you can stop on the street
Take me back on another track
Take me back, take me back
Sound-A-Sleep Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Close your eyes and you will see
Micro-flashing neon lights
Open your eyes and you will see
It still looks like the same thing
Lie and wait for sleep and listen
To your heart beat too fast for sleep
Close your eyes and you will see
The sound asleep
[Verse 2]
I want to go, I want to go
I want to go down to go to sleep
Your frame of reference
Is my swimming pool
My, my swimming pool
Still looks like the China Sea
Pool to sea and finally
The sound asleep
[Verse 3]
Feel the muscles in your face
Twitch, relax, remembering
Everything that went down and will go down
I want to go down to sleep
Insomnia, no sleep disease
Petties parking, feed me, please
Lie and wait for sleep and listen
To your heart beat too fast for sleep
