Take Me To Your Heart

There's a train taking off from the station
It's a train I'm gonna catch
Headed straight for your heart, can't you hear it now,
I know they're gonna match
Temporary situation got to trigger a reaction
I've been a-a-anticipating satisfaction
I'm knockin' on your door but you don't answer
Am I tappin' on your window in vain
Or swimmin' upstream to the Dead Sea, honey,
Shall I just keep prayin' for rain
'Cause I know that it's going to make my eyes see
That I been barking up a one-way tree
While you pay no heed to my plea
Take me to your heart
I know you drive a hard bargain, but
Take me to your heart
And I'll be willing to make a deal
I give you my word I won't hit and run, if you
Take me to your heart
J.J. Jack and the Reverend Mother
Talk it over over a wall
J.J.'s got his hope flyin' high
He's gonna take a fall
Good Willie and the highball jinx really thinks
He's got the whole deal sewed up
But I heard Granite Janet goin' good-bye buddy,
Better stick it in your loving cup
I'm getting mixed reviews but I got no alibi, no regret
I'll put my money on the hunger side, honey,
And I don't mind losing the bet
'Cause I know that it's going to make my eyes see
That I been barking up a one-way tree
While you pay no heed to my plea
Take me to your heart
I know you drive a hard bargain, but
Take me to your heart
And I'll be willing to make a deal
I give you my word I won't hit and run, if you
Take me to your heart

Give Me Your Love

I can see you've got the angel and the devil in your heart
If I want your love I run the risk of tearing mine apart
But I'm the kind who likes to jump into it blind
If there's love enough at stake I'll bet against a heartbreak
Give me your love, give me your fire and ice
Keep me coming and going with every roll of the dice
Burn me up and cool me down, show me paradise
Give me your love, give me your fire and ice
I used to like my lovin' safe and simple, sure and slow
I never got too high and I knew I'd never fall too low
Now I've changed my way, I need a bigger game to play
You'll never see me fail to take the tiger by the tail
[chorus]
You may say I shouldn't let you into all my dreams
You don't know how I've been looking for a man of your extremes
First a cool touch until that's too much
Then let the fire roar, don't make me ask for more
[chorus]

Lady From Mars
03:03

I was feelin' kinda lonely
I was feelin' kinda down
So I took a little walk
Up to the other side of town
I looked up in the sky
I looked up at the stars
I saw lights a-flashin'
I saw a lady from Mars
I got a shiver down my back
I heard music in my head
When I saw that little lady
A little lady in red, in red, in red
My little lady from Mars, do you feel what I'm thinkin'
My little lady from Mars, do you feel what I'm thinkin'
I said your pants are so tight I can read your lips
And I can tell by the way that you move your hips
You're from another world
You're from another world
And now I'll never be the same
No, I'll never be the same again
Your emerald eyes gave you away
You see, we don't see eyes like that every day
Please please me, don't go away
We'll send the rocket home, won't you stay

Midnight Resolutionary
02:55
|
|||
|
The alarm goes off at eight a.m.
And I roll out of bed at a half-past ten
Looks like I won't make that nine o'clock interview
Well, the sink's a mess and so is the floor
But the Twilight Zone's on channel four
And I ain't got no doubt about what I'd rather do
So another day goes by, passing in a haze
And as I'm dropping off to sleep I swear I'll change my ways
I'm a midnight resolutionary with a plan to set things right
An eleventh-hour solutionary who will disappear by daylight
I'm a late-night self-delusionary when I hit the witching hour
I believe my own illusionary iron will-power
The alarm goes off at eight a.m.
Next thing I know I've done it again
Dreamed another morning into another afternoon
I tell my self, there's no reason to fret
There's plenty of hours of daylight yet
And I almost believe that I'll get started real soon
But soon still the setting sun shatters my belief
And moonlight finds me turning over yet another leaf
[chorus]
I know that I could be a hero
If only I would follow through
I'd show the world I'm not a zero
If I would just do half the things I say I'm gong to do
[chorus]

Plea #3
04:53
|
|||
|
Tell me a story no one's heard
I'll listen to it well
Show me a secret, one that hurts
One you never tell
Give me a glimpse of what you're hiding
Let me look inside
Show me who's behind the mask
And tell me why you hide
There's a fable in your eyes
It's time you tell the moral
There's magic on your lips
That will set you free
And the love that you deny
Is building up inside
Like nervous horses ready for the ride
Once upon a time a lonely child
Gave away her trust
Someone took it heartlessly
And left it in the dust
Years went by, the monster died
And still you hide your eyes
Won't you turn and face it now
And let go of the lies
[chorus]
