Wide awake in the middle of the night I wonder how she's feelin' Is it just a trick of the light Or is her ceiling peeling? She's sitting up in bed, shakin' her head At a copy of "True Confessions" Ooh, it must seem like a fairy tale To a woman of her profession But was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did I take you to the height of ecstasy? Was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did a shadow of emotion cross your face Or was it just another trick of the light? But was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did I take you to the height of ecstasy? Was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did a shadow of emotion cross your face Or was it just another trick of the light? Come on, tell me What's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this? They don't make girls like you no more And I'd like to get to know you On closer terms than this But I guess you've heard it all before Lady of the night Won't you steal away with me? Lady of the night Won't you steal away with me? The money's lyin' on the floor, she looks at me Shakes her head and sighs Out of time, out the door Red light shinin' in my eyes But was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did I take you to the height of ecstasy? Was I all right? (Was I all right?) Did a shadow of emotion cross your face All right? But was I all right? All right?

Bored of the life in the city of gold He'd left and let nobody know Gone were the towers he had known from a child Alone with the dream of a life He travelled the wide open road The blinkered arcade In search of another to share in his life. Nowhere Everyone looked so strange to him. They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence. Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And wept as they led him away to a cage Beast that can talk, read the sign. The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame And questioned his story again. But soon they grew bored of their prey The beast that can talk? More like a freak or publicity stunt. Oh No. They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence. Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out. He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out: There, beyond the bounds of your weak imagination Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold. Let me take you there, show you a living story Let me show you others such as me Why did I ever leave? They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And wept. And so we set out with the beast and his horns And his crazy description of home. After many days journey we came to a peak Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out. We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw A spire of gold - no, a trick of the eye that's all, But the beast was gone and a voice was heard: They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance Hello friend, welcome home.

"How about a big act" I don't want to love you anymore My heart is tired out from running after yours I won't answer the door when you show up late at night So go and put the stars in someone else's sky I won't come 'round when you need a fix I was so young, but I've grown wiser to your tricks So save up your data and your late night taxi fares And spend them on her, I really don't care There's a part of me that wants to know what you're drinking To swallow the pill of me not caring what you're thinking There's a part of me that hopes you'll show up at my door Just so I can tell you to not do that anymore Oh, no more black and white movie nights We know them well enough to recite all the lines No more howling like a wolf 'til I crawl back in your room It wasn't love, it was a trick It wasn't love, it was a trick It wasn't love, it was a trick of the moon

The sun is overhead And your feelings fade The summer's in the air And you're runnin' away The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's song Is in your heart Wherever you go, I will follow We'll leave it all behind So alive We'll climb the sunlight one beam at a time Another open road And your foot on the gas Another memory load Of the summers past The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's song Is in your heart Wherever you go, I will follow We'll leave it all behind So alive We'll climb the sunlight one beam at a time (Oh, summer's song) The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's song Is in your heart The summer's sweet lament Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart

The bus was late And forced us all to congregate Twenty seven strangers Made to stand and wait The time went by The sun went down A baby cried I just stood in line But there is no cue No stage hand saying what to do And you are me And I am you The bus it came And everybody loaded in Twenty seven strangers In a moving can The fluorescent light Doubled everyone inside The baby's face reflected In the shop fronts, in the sky But faces change And rules they all get rearranged And photographs All fade away The bus broke down At the graveyard on the edge of town Twenty seven strangers Separate without a sound So I walked home Just feeling nothing on my own Noticing that tree of yours I've been watching it grow So that's why I'm late My dearest one what can I say And tomorrow it could be the same When I do it all again
