Hello Again
Hello again

You might have forgot
The journey ends
You tied your knots
And you made your friends
You left the scene
Without a trace
One hand on the ground
One hand in space

You passed on mercy
You tried the rest
You gave your body
You gave your best
Staring at the green door
Living in the sky
You don't want to know it
You just want to fly

Hello again

I know you're a dreamer
Who's under the gun
I know you're a dreamer
Who's only just begun

Hello again

And when there's nothing
Nothing left to loose
You leave it all
To fade to blue

You want to feel electric
You want to feel loose
You want to be eclectic
You want to call a truce
Look at the profile
Staring at the flame
Waiting for the sunshine
Standing in the rain

Hello again

Looking for Love
Come on lover
Make the switch
Pull the cover
Oh, make a wish
Find out later
It's all right
Keep the faith
And kill the light

You can't stop
But you can't go on
You can't stop
But it won't be long
Here she comes
(Looking for love)
She's looking for love
Here she comes
She's looking for love
(Here she comes)
She comes
(Looking for love)
She comes
(Here she comes)
She's looking for love

Well come on lover
Oh, do it fast
Take advantage
While love lasts
Limited edition
You're the one
A walk on the edge
Oh, don't you run

You can't stop
But you can't go on
You can't stop
But it won't be long
Here she comes
(Looking for love)
She's looking for love
Here she comes
She's looking for love
(Here she comes)
She comes
(Looking for love)
She's looking for love
(Here she comes)
She's looking for love

You can't stop
But you can't go on
And you can't stop
But it won't be long
(Here she comes)
Here she comes
(Looking for love)
She's looking for love
(Here she comes)
Looking, looking for love
(Here she comes)
Here she comes
(Looking for love)
Still looking
(Here she comes)
Looking for love
She's looking for love
(Here she comes)

Magic
Summer, it turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It's like a merry-go-round

I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
The high shoes with the cleats a-clicking
A temperamental glow

How could you let me go

Oh, I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
I've got a hold on you tonight

Oh oh, it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh oh, it's magic
Just a little magic
You know it's true
I got a hold on you

Twisted under sideways down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down

I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Till you realize

There's magic in your eyes

I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you tonight

Oh oh, it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh oh, it's magic
Just a little bit of
Magic pulls me through
I got a hold on you
4.
Drive
Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call

Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams
Who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake
Who's gonna come around
When you break

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Oh, you know you can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Stranger Eyes
When you took the fall
And then you floated down
And then you took the jump
And you fell through clouds
Then you watched the world
Beat the crowd

Come on, ride me high
(Stranger eyes)
Well, ride me high
(Stranger eyes)

Yeah, you took the fall
And then you landed soft
You thought to yourself
Well, I'm not alone
You with your dark red soul
And your chaperone

Come on, ride me high
(Stranger eyes)
Won't you ride me high
(Stranger eyes)
Come on, ride me high
(Stranger eyes)
Ride me high
(Danger stranger eyes)
Stranger eyes

Well, I need your touch
That means so much
Oh, I need your touch
Because it means so much
Ride me high

Come on, ride me high
(Stranger eyes)
Yeah, ride me high
(Stranger eyes)
Ride me high
(Stranger eyes)
Oh, come on and ride me high
(Danger stranger eyes)
Stranger eyes
(Stranger eyes)

You Might Think
You might think I'm crazy
To hang around with
You maybe you think I'm lucky
To have something to do
But I think that you're wild
And inside me is some child
You might think it's foolish
Or maybe it's untrue
You might think I'm crazy
But all I want is you you

Might think it's hysterical
But I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies
And everything's so deep
But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile
You might think it's foolish
What you put me through
You might think I'm crazy
But all I want is you

And it's hard so hard to take
There's no escape without a scrape
You kept it going till the sun fell down
You kept it going

You might think I'm delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere sometimes when you're curious
I'll be back around
And I think that you're wild
And so uniquely styled
You might think it's foolish
This chancy rendez-vous
You might think I'm crazy
But all I want is you
7.
It's Not the Night
It's not the night
For fooling
It's not the night
For crazy eyes

I get the feeling
You want to stay
I get the feeling
You're giving it all away

But I know
I know you take it well
And for you
For you I always fell

It's not the night
(It's not the night)
For sweet revenge
It's not the night
(It's not the night)
To spend

The time is right
To take it out
The time is right
To tango

Got a feeling
You're running out
Before your last fandango

It's not the night
(It's not the night)
For sweet, sweet revenge
It's not the night
(It's not the night)
To spend

It's not the night
For sticky boots
It's not the night
For tango

I get the feeling
You're the spark
That's dancing in the dark
I get the feeling
You're the one
Rushing on the run

It's not the night
(It's not the night)
For sweet revenge
It's not the night
(It's not the night)
To spend

It's not the night
(It's not the night)
You're looking for sweet, sweet revenge
It's not the night
(It's not the night)
Night to end

It's not the night

Why Can't I Have You
Dreamy lips, set in motion, flashing
Breathless hush, pounding soft, lasting
Glossy mouth, a taste untamed, moving
Carousel, up and down, just like you

Oh baby, just one more time to touch you
Just one more time to tell you
You're on my mind

Baby, why can't I have you?
You're breaking my heart in two
You know what I'm going through
Oh baby, why can't I have you?

Candy smile, all the while, glinting
Your eyes like mica, a lethal pout, hinting
And I felt the pressure, tight and warm, softly striking
I tripped and stumbled, I cling forever, I go all night

Oh baby, just one more time to touch you
Just one more time to tell you
I'm not so blind

Baby, why can't I have you?
Always breaking my heart in two
You know what I'm going through
Oh baby, why can't I have you?
9.
I Refuse
Everything's heaven sent
That's what you said and went
Inside your fairy glass
Something you think will last

And when they crop you like a clown
You got your smile on upside down

Baby, I refuse
(I do refuse)
You can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'Cause I refuse to come along

And everything's on a whim
That's what you said to him
Lying in wunderlust
Are feelings you never trust

And when they pamper you with ice
I can't believe you don't think twice

Baby, I refuse
(I do refuse)
You can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'Cause I refuse to come along

And everyone makes the play
There's nothing left, much to say
They're all in an endless line
Waiting for equal time

They keep screaming, it's the truth
And you keep kneeling in the booth

Baby, I refuse
(I do refuse)
You can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'Cause I refuse to come along

I do refuse
(I do refuse)
You got nothing to lose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'Cause I refuse to come along

Heartbeat City
Heartbeat city, here we come
And happy days count on thumbs
And nothing really gets us down
As long as Jacki is back in town

I'm glad you made it
I can't complain

Oh, Jacki
What took you so long
On just a holiday
Oh, Jacki
What took you so long
I thought you knew the way
(Heartbeat city)

The noise electric never stops
And all you need is what you got
And there's a place for everyone
Under Heartbeat city's golden sun

(Jacki)
Oh, Jacki
(What took you so long)
What took you so long
On just a holiday
Oh, Jacki
(What took you so long)
What took you so long
(So long)
I thought you knew the way

You know, I'm glad you made it
I can't complain
I missed you so badly
When you jumped that train

(Jacki)
Oh, Jacki
(What took you so long)
What took you so long
On just a holiday
Oh, Jacki
(What took you so long)
What took you so long
(So long)
(Thought you knew the way)
I thought you blew away

(Heartbeat city)
Oh, Heartbeat city
Lights at night
(Heartbeat city)
Keeps getting closer
Out of sight
(Heartbeat city)
Heartbeat city's on the loose
(Heartbeat city)
Better catch the blue caboose
Oh, Heartbeat city
It's my life
(Heartbeat city)
