Track Lyrics

And She Was Lyrics

[Intro]

Hey!

[Verse 1]

And she was lying in the grass

And she could hear the highway breathing

And she could see a nearby factory

She's making sure she is not dreaming

See the lights of a neighbor's house

Now she's starting to rise

Take a minute to concentrate

And she opens up her eyes

[Chorus]

The world was moving, she was right there with it

And she was

The world was moving, she was floating above it

And she was

[Verse 2]

And she was drifting through the backyard

And she was taking off her dress

And she was moving very slowly

Rising up above the earth

Moving into the universe

And she's drifting this way and that

Not touching the ground at all

And she's up above the yard

[Chorus]

The world was moving, she was right there with it

And she was (Hey, hey)

The world was moving, she was floating above it

And she was (Hey, hey, hey)

[Bridge]

She was glad about it, no doubt about it

She isn't sure about what she's done

No time to think about what to tell them

No time to think about what she's done

And she was

Hey hey, hey hey, hey

[Verse 3]

And she was looking at herself

And things were looking like a movie

She had a pleasant elevation

She's moving out in all directions, oh, oh, oh

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey (Hey)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

The world was moving, she was right there with it

And she was (Hey, hoo hoo)

The world was moving, she was floating above it

And she was (Hey, hey)

Joining the world of missing persons

And she was (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

Missing enough to feel all right

And she was

[Outro]

And she was

And she was (Hey, hey, hey)

And she was

Give Me Back My Name Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a word for it

Words don't mean a thing

There's a name for it

And names make all the difference in the world

[Chorus]

Some things can never be spoken

Some things cannot be pronounced

That word does not exist in any language

It will never be uttered by a human mouth

[Verse 2]

Let X make a statement

Let breath pass through those cracked lips

That man was my hero

And now that word has been taken from us

[Chorus]

Some things can never be spoken

Some things cannot be pronounced

That word does not exist in any language

It will never be uttered by a human mouth

[Post-Chorus]

Give me back my name

Something has been changed in my life

Something must be returned to us

[Chorus]

That word does not exist in any language

It will never be uttered by a human mouth

[Post-Chorus]

Give me back my name

Something has been changed in my life

Something must be returned to us

Perfect World Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I know what it is

But I don't know where it is

Where it is

Well, I know where it is

But I don't know what it looks like

What it looks like

Well, I know what it looks like

But I don't know where she comes from

Well, I know where she comes from

But I don't know what's her name

[Chorus]

And she said

This is a perfect world

I'm riding on an incline

I'm staring in your face

You'll photograph mine

[Verse 2]

And I've been walking, talking

Believing the things that are true

And I've been finding the difference between right and wrong

Bad and good

See me put things together, put them back

Where they belong

When I look at each other

Have I always been singing the same song?

[Chorus]

She said

This is a perfect world

I'm riding on an incline

I'm staring in your face

You'll photograph mine

[Bridge]

Somebody said that it happens all over the world

I do believe that it's true

And the sun's coming up

And we're doing all the things that we should

Ah, ah, ah

Doesn't everybody here believe in the things that we do?

Ah, ah, ah

[Chorus]

And she said

This is a perfect world

I'm riding on an incline

I'm staring in your face

You'll photograph mine

Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 3]

It's a strange situation

What's wrong with you?

Baby, baby, baby

Whatcha doin' in my house?

I, I said it's all true

Hey, hey, hey, hey, there's nothing wrong with you

[Chorus]

And I said

This is a perfect world

I'm riding on an incline

I'm staring in your face

You'll photograph mine

Stay Up Late Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mommy had a little baby

There he is, fast asleep

He's just a little plaything

Why not wake him up?

Cute, cute little baby

Little peepee and little toes

Now he's comin' to me

Crawl across the kitchen floor

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, please let me hold him

I wanna make him stay up all night

Sister, sister, he's just a plaything

We wanna make him stay up all night (Yeah, we do)

[Verse 2]

See him drink from a bottle

See him eat from a plate

Cute, cute as a button

Don't you wanna make him stay up late?

And we're havin' fun with no money

A little smile on his face

Don't you love the little baby?

Don't you want to make him stay up late?

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, please let me hold him

I wanna make him stay up all night

Sister, sister, he's just a plaything

We wanna make him stay up all night

[Post-Chorus]

Here we go, all night long

Sister, sister, all night long

In the playpen, woo, all night long

Little baby goes, "Ha" all night long

[Bridge]

I know you want to leave me

Ha, ha-ha, why don't we pretend?

There you go little man

Cute, cute, why not?

Late at night, wake him up

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, please let me hold him

I wanna make him stay up all night

Sister, sister, he's just a plaything

We wanna make him stay up all night

[Outro]

Here we go, ha, all night long

Sister, sister, woo, with the television on

Little baby goes, woo, all night long

Hey, hey, baby, all night long

And he looks so cute all night long

In his little red suit all night long

Rock on all night long

All night long

Walk It Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I am just a number

And I hang on to what I got

You say what you want to

And I, I, I, I just try to stay alive

I put myself together

People say, "Get away, somebody will turn you in"

Life, life without surrender

Togetherness, ecstasy is what I need

[Pre-Chorus]

I can laugh, but I should cry

When love and understanding are the ultimate crimes

[Chorus]

I said walk it down, talk it down

Sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there

Walk it down, talk it down

Sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there

[Verse 2]

She says she remembers

Time, long time ago

We belong together

And I, I, I, I turn up the radio

Lies, lies and propaganda

I gonna tell you what I need

Life, life without surrender

Togetherness, ecstasy is what I need

[Pre-Chorus]

I got yours and you got mine

And I can swim, but I should fly

[Chorus]

I think walk it down, talk it down

Sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there

Walk it down, talk it down

Sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there

[Bridge]

Ain't no crime to believe

I took my money, I bet my life

What you see is what you get

But it sure ain't what we need

Hey!

[Organ Solo]

[Chorus]

Walk it down, talk it down

Sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there

Walk it down, talk it down

Sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there

Walk it down, talk it down

Sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there

Walk it down, talk it down (Hey, hey, hey)

Sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there

Road to Nowhere Lyrics

[Intro]

Well, we know where we're goin'

But we don't know where we've been

And we know what we're knowin'

But we can't say what we've seen

And we're not little children

And we know what we want

And the future is certain

Give us time to work it out

Yeah

[Verse 1]

We're on a road to nowhere

Come on inside

Takin' that ride to nowhere

We'll take that ride

I'm feeling okay this morning

And you know

We're on the road to paradise

Here we go, here we go

[Verse 2]

We're on a ride to nowhere

Come on inside

Takin' that ride to nowhere

We'll take that ride

Maybe you wonder where you are

I don't care

Here is where time is on our side

Take you there, take you there

[Chorus]

We're on a road to nowhere (Ha! Ha!)

We're on a road to nowhere (Ha! Ha! Woo!)

[Bridge]

There's a city in my mind

Come along and take that ride
