LYRICS


‘Round My World

Take me to a place that never lies
A place where I can sing in lullabies
My world’s a lonely, lonely aching soul
Spinning me ‘round, all around my world

What’s going ‘round, ‘round, ‘round my world?
What’s going ‘round, ‘round, ‘round my world?
My storybook is ready to unfurl what’s going ‘round my world

I want to ride your buzz, feel a vibe
Give me your recipe for getting’ high
My mind’s a fleeting wind out of control
Pushing me ‘round, all around my world

What’s going ‘round, ‘round, ‘round my world?
What’s going ‘round, ‘round, ‘round my world?
My storybook is ready to unfurl what’s going ‘round my world

Like a moon or star, I can take you far
Let me show you what I know about this crazy feeling going ‘round my world

Am I the strangest you’ve ever seen?
D’ you think that we could be the king and queen?
My wonder takes me to a world unknown
That never stops haunting me around my world

What’s going ‘round, ‘round, ‘round my world?
What’s going ‘round, ‘round, ‘round my world?
My storybook is ready to unfurl what’s going ‘round my world

What’s going ‘round, ‘round, ‘round my world?
What’s going ‘round, ‘round, ‘round my world?
My storybook is ready to unfurl what’s going ‘round my world

Never Let You Down

Philosophy questions ‘bout the world is something I won’t understand
And I’ll try and not pretend I feel the need
For you to tell me something I want to hear
Though I’ve heard it all before, I’ll wait for something more

Whether make believe or in reality
Just give me all your love, all what’s meant to be

You know that I’ll never let you down
In reach for the sky or falling aground
The meaning in my words, are profound
You know that I’ll never let you down

The honesty of my emotions seems to brighten all the colors in my life
Darkness into to light has set me free
Just knowing that your spirit will not ever fade away
With you I want to stay

For eternity is all I ever need
Give me all your love, all what’s meant to be

You know that I’ll never let you down
In reach for the sky or falling aground
The meaning in my words, are profound
You know that I’ll never let you down

Never let you down

Whether make believe or in reality
Just give me all your love, all what’s meant to be

You know that I’ll never let you down
In reach for the sky or falling aground
The meaning in my words, are profound
You know that I’ll never let you down

(You know that I’ll never let you down)
In reach for the sky or falling aground
The meaning in my words, are profound
You know that I’ll never let you down

I said I’ll never let you down…
Never let you down

Hollywood Venus

Slip on my dream-shirt, pop world hurricane
Struttin’ to the new beat with a red sun, no rain
In a sweet velvet planet she’s a girl so fine
In a sweet velvet planet the mystery unwinds

She’s a high-heel Hollywood Venus
A high-heel Hollywood star
In a world that’s so far between us
She’s a Hollywood (a Hollywood)

Like a Roman love-goddess living in a comic strip
She’s a lounge doll baby, soda-pop-rocket-trip
The billboards are calling on the silver screen
The billboards are calling on the cosmic queen

Chorus

Hands across her blue eyes
She hides behind her blue skies
With a cross inside her pocket she rules the night

She’s a midnight movie of a fabulous birth
Filming Venus as the sky falls to the earth
Riding on the crest of a platform wave
In her platform shoes she’s a disco rave

Chorus

She’s a Hollywood Venus

Leave Me Standin’

Only the stars above tell me where the future lies
I see you on my screen and I swear that I can hear you breathe
Sometimes I walk the moon, sometimes so close to you
And some people think we’re miles apart, I know it’s not true

I can see the world I can reach the sky
From where I am, I can hear your voice calling my name

You leave me standin’ all alone
Leave me standin’ in the unknown
Should it be that you let me go
Just leave me standin’ cause the end I know

Feels like unending sickness oh it’s a virus of love
Virtual feelings, baby I got virtual dreams
Yesterday I was on my own but today you brought me back home
And now it seems it ain’t so far away

I can see the world I can reach the sky
From where I am, I can hear your voice calling my name

You leave me standin’ all alone
Leave me standin’ in the unknown
Should it be that you let me go
Just leave me standin’ cause the end I know

Should it be that you let me go
Leave me standin’, the end I know

Electric Car

Would you believe a one time ago?
I had a vision of a ride would some how’d steal the show
May seem extraordinary now has come the day
A fuel of intensity racing at your way

So, won’t you come ride with me now in my electric car?
Top-down, new-luxury inside
Tonight, everybody’s riding like a star
In my electric car

Are you aware of the high?
Like a drug you’re in a trance this car will make you fly
Humble, mysterious and in perfect harmony
The moment you’re in drive it’s a wailing symphony

So, won’t you come ride with me now in my electric car?
Top-down, new-luxury inside
Tonight, everybody’s riding like a star
In my electric car

Won’t you settle in, let the trip begin
Wild experience all-around
Ain’t no better cruise, you got nothing to lose
Another feeling won’t be found

Come ride with me now in my electric car
Top-down, new-luxury inside
Tonight, everybody’s riding like a star
In my electric car

Come ride with me now in my electric car
Top-down, new-luxury inside
Tonight, everybody’s riding like a star
In my electric car, electric car, my electric car

Second Wind

I wake up this morn’, a little hung, feeling worn
I need some time to shake the blues
Well enough been said and I look down by my bed
An unfinished bottle I can use

I’m waiting for my second wind
Waiting for my second wind
I’m hoping to find without losing my mind
Where is my second wind?

The day has yet begun I’m having so much fun
Happy just to be alive
Strolling through the park, half drunk and close to dark
Again I’m headed for a dive

Chorus

Almost dinnertime and I haven’t got a dime
But looking back on the day
Didn’t get much done so I’ll keep on having fun
The bottle’s only a quarter way

Chorus

Some think my life can be better but aimlessly I keep walking for miles
Living life just like the weather, unpredictability brings back a smile

So here I am tonight messed up but what a site
Found a place where I belong
Are you with me now? Wasted I hope somehow
Let’s end the night with this old song

I’m waiting for my second wind
Waiting for my second wind
I’m hoping to find without losing my mind
Where is my second wind?
Where is my second wind?
Where is my second wind?
Here is my second wind

Wonderland

On a highway honeymoon
Early morning, springtime June
Us and a world ahead shows the way

The road never seems to end
Freedom takes you ‘round the bend
Our spirits are in delight and we go dancing through the night
Shining so bright with fantasies rushing in this wonderland

From T.O we reach L.A
In between the music played
Just the two of us like a flame burning on

Hanging out for the while
Till we meet eight thousand miles
Once written, always stays, the past forever spends our days
In cry and laughing ways igniting a wonderland of pleasure and pain

Wondering how it’d feel without a second chance at blissful romance
Thank God that I found you
Now a lifetime more to do with you

We’ll be dancing through the night
Shining so bright with fantasies rushing in this wonderland

In this wonderland
This wonderland
Wonderland

Casanova

Have you heard the story ‘bout a cool Romeo who broke the magic rule?
Leaving girls, a heartache mess
Riding hard, he would cross the land with a funky two-tone Cadillac
Looking for the next address

And he’ll stop for a happy meal, in return he gets a name, Camille
Oh yeah! here begins the play
He says, “Hey girl am I in a dream?”
She looks at him with a rosy gleam and fantasizes ‘bout the day

It don’t matter if you win or lose
Time will come when all get the news

A Casanova, running like a child
A Casanova gone wild
(Just like a) Casanova with that killer smile
A Casanova with style (Watch out!)

Well, you’d think that he’d apologize. Fat luck, there ain’t no compromise
Each passing day becomes a blur
And he keeps on riding town to town working it like an evil-dancing clown
Till’ he meets a Jennifer

The story goes it happens one gloomy night, Jennifer gives Romeo the bite
He wakes to find himself in disarray
Story learned: what you give you might get
Might take some time but you can bet karma always finds a way!

It don’t matter if you win or lose
Time will come when all sing the blues

A Casanova, running like a child
A Casanova gone wild
A Casanova with that killer smile
A Casanova with style

It don’t matter if you win or lose
Time will come when all hear the news

Chorus

Yeah! He’s a Casanova
Casanova

Another Day

You see the road begin to wind
And you don’t catch the warning sign
Helpless it may feel
For the moment you go blind

So, wandering you go
A dreaming lion-heart
In doubt you stand low
Fear it plays your mind
But your soul will let you know
With time you got to hold on

Another day another fight
Another day to make it right
Another day will come along
Another day another song

With all your hope fallen aground
Feeling earth all tumbling down
So endless it may seem
Like a wild merry-go-round

Now open wide your gate
Let the angels sing along
And cry those tears away
Let your heart go deep inside
Come on celebrate
The carnival of love is waiting

Another day another fight
Another day to see the light
Another day will come along
Another day to sing your song
Cause every moment belongs
There will be another day…

And life goes on the same
You feel sunshine through the rain
With sunshine in the rain
There will be another day

I Could Cry

Yesterday I had the time of my life
Today I feel I could cry
Sad songs help me to understand
The tears that rain from my eyes

I could cry all through the night
Or make a wish but then again why?
I could cry ‘till morning light
Feels so good to cry

Come with me I want you to share
A feeling that words can never buy
Kiss me, hold me or give me a dream
A dream that I won’t deny

I could cry all through the night
Or make a wish but then again why?
I could cry ‘till morning light

Bridge
Sometimes it’s so hard to say
What may come of tomorrow?
And sometimes you got to find a way
To let yourself live the moment inside

I’ve learned more than I’ll ever know
‘Bout the meaning of truth in a cry
Letting go like a half-empty well
The hurt has got to run dry

I could cry all through the night
Or make a wish but then again why?
I could cry ‘till morning light
Feels so good to cry
You know I could cry
It’s so good to cry
I could cry

The Things We Do For Money

The things we do, the things we do, the things we do for money
The things we do, the things we do, aren’t the things we do for love

Merciless at the bite of a snake
Grips your crying soul for all it can take
‘Till you don’t feel the pain anymore
And you won’t feel the pain in store

The things we do, the things we do, the things we do for money
The things we do, the things we do, aren’t the things we do for love

A gun-for-hire or a sex slave
Integrity, it falls dead to the grave
And you don’t see right anymore
No, you don’t see the closing door

The things we do, the things we do, the things we do for money
The things we do, the things we do, aren’t the things we do for love

Daredevils’ always take a chance
Higher the risk, better the dance
It tastes so good like never before
A taste so good you still want more

The things we do, the things we do, the things we do for money
The things we do, the things we do, aren’t the things we do for love

Is there a truth better than lies?
Did we forget now let’s open our eyes!
Why in the world, in the world can’t we look from the inside?
Let’s hope to God there’s a way, a way to get by

Selling dreams to empty hands
Feels like getting burned on hot desert lands
You feel the heat like never before
Yeah, you feel the heat and the closing door

The things we do, the things we do, the things we do for money
The things we do, the things we do, aren’t the things we do for love

Chorus
