Lyrics

1.
In the Heat of the Night
Talk to me, want my love,
Talk to me, but not that stuff.

You ain't enough, using my love.
You call for me, again I'll see:

In the heat of the night,
(You'll loose your heart and sell your soul)
I loose control in the heat of the night.
(It's much too late to leave the trade)
But I can't stand it anymore;
(You'll loose your heart, it's your soul)
I loose control in the heat of the night.
(In the heat of the night.)

Talk to me, want my love,
Talk to me, but not that stuff.

Who's on my side? Loosing my pride.
You call for me, again I'll see:

In the heat of the night,
(You'll loose your heart and sell your soul)
I loose control in the heat of the night.
(It's much too late to leave the trade)
But I can't stand it anymore;
(You'll loose your heart, it's your soul)
I loose control in the heat of the night.
(In the heat of the night.)

On the Tray (Seven Years)
Once in a year I'm looking back, counting the hurts.
Time after time it's been so hard holding my ground.
And I miss you,
(For seven years)
And need you,
(For seven years)
Oh, this is not a game
I don't wanna play.

(On the tray)
Just for seven years,
It's the same old fears in my heart.
You can understand my blues,
'Cause I'm trying not to lose.
(On the tray)
Just for seven years
And if time reveals you're the one,
I hear everything you say;
It's much easier to play
(On the tray)

Years pass me by and still I'm here, swallowed by dreams.
Posing in silk, with photo-smile, trying to be strong.
And I miss you,
(For seven years)
And need you,
(For seven years)
Oh, this is not a game
I don't wanna play.

(On the tray)
Just for seven years,
It's the same old fears in my heart.
You can understand my blues,
'Cause I'm trying not to lose.
(On the tray)
Just for seven years
And if time reveals you're the one,
I hear everything you say;
It's much easier to play
(On the tray)

Little Girl
Venice night at 5 o'clock, the station, hazy light,
A sleeping bum, a single girl, she's leaving overnight.
And she knows that it's forever,
And she'll never ever return.

In Italy, on holidays, she had to see Da Vinci's style,
All the arts for credit cards, she would forgive him for a smile.
And she knows that it's forever,
And she'll never ever return.

Hey little girl,
Don't wanna cause you pain,
But the big boys feel no sorrow.
Oh hey little girl, hey little girl,
They're all the same,
But they feel no sorrow.

There she is, inside a train and now she's leaning back,
She's got money for one day and nothing in the rack.
And she knows that it's forever,
And she'll never ever return

Hey little girl,
Don't wanna cause you pain,
But the big boys feel no sorrow.
Oh hey little girl, hey little girl,
They're all the same,
But they feel no sorrow.

You and I
Changes, turning my pages,
What's gone is gone, you're gonna show the way.
Changes over the ages,
It always seems so new, it's always been the same.

Take the pieces of my heart,
Watch them all rearrange.

You and I belong together,
You and I, too proud to lie,
Don't know why it took so long, till we got this far.
You and I could love forever,
You and I, God knows, we'll try.
In the mirror of your eyes I am not alone,
You and I.

Secrets, tell me your story,
I know you well, I wanna hear it all.
Secrets, power and the glory,
We're on the edge of love, I felt this way before.

Let the heavens fall apart,
Let the earth fade away.

You and I belong together,
You and I, too proud to lie,
Don't know why it took so long, till we got this far.
You and I could love forever,
You and I, God knows, we'll try.
In the mirror of your eyes I am not alone,
You and I.
5.
(I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena
You take my love,
You want my soul.

I would be crazy to share your life,
Why can't you see what I am?
Sharpen your senses and turn the knife,
Hurt me and you'll understand.

I'll never be Maria Magdalena,
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena.
(You're a victim of the fight,
You need love)
Promise me delight,
(You need love)

Why must I lie?
Find alibis?

When will you wake up and realize?
I can't surrender to you,
Play for affection and win the prize,
I know those party games, too.

I'll never be Maria Magdalena,
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena.
(You're a victim of the fight,
You need love)
Promise me delight,
(You need love)

Heartbeat
Heartbeat, that's emotion,
Heartbeat, it's devotion,
Ever more desire,
Tell me of someone who's better.

Heartbeat, that's emotion,
Heartbeat, it's devotion,
Ever more desire,
Tell me of someone who's better in my life.

I wanna know if your love is right,
Don't take your love away,
My jealous heart is begging you to stay.
And even if I dream of you,
I'm doing all the things,
I never thought you'd do it once again.

I'll get no time to be a liar.

Heartbeat, that's emotion,
Heartbeat, it's devotion,
Ever more desire,
Tell me of someone who's better.

Heartbeat, that's emotion,
Heartbeat, it's devotion,
Ever more desire,
Tell me of someone who's better in my life.

You lead my soul for many times,
Changing feelings in me,
Caught in circles of confusion, leaving me

I'll get no time to be a liar.

(Heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat,
That's emotion.
Heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat.)
More desire,
Tell me of someone who's better.

(Heartbeat)
That's emotion,
(Heartbeat)
It's devotion,
Ever more desire,
Tell me of someone who's better.

Sisters and Brothers
Caramel kisses and children at play,
Do you remember? It's so far away.
Did we swear to be true, 'cause divided we fall?

Sisters and brothers are growing so tall,
Strangers and lovers, make fools of us all.

Where is the laughter, that ends without pain?
Where are the summers without any rain?
Can they ever return, all the years I recall?

Sisters and brothers are growing so tall,
Strangers and lovers, make fools of us all.

If you can hear me, I need you right now!

Sisters and brothers are growing so tall,
Strangers and lovers make fools of us all.

Change Your Mind
(Change your mind, we're getting closer,
Change your mind, we can get closer.)

Change your mind, we can get closer,
These eyes that shine, are telling a story.
I'll change your mind, all I need is time,
Till I show you the way I wanna be.

You think you know me but you're wrong.
Too late for questions when I'm gone,
So if you'll hear me I'll explain,
I need your comfort, not your blame.

Change your mind, we can get closer,
These eyes that shine are telling a story.
I'll change your mind, all I need is time,
Till I show you the way I wanna be.

How can you ever be so sure?
Are you the justice and the law?
All I'm defending is my word;
Do you believe in all you heard?

Change your mind, we can get closer,
These eyes that shine are telling a story.
I'll change your mind, all I need is time,
Till I show you the way I wanna be.
