1. THEY DANCE

Down in the latin quarter
Down on dead-end street
Down in the basement brother
That's where I'm bound to be
Trading payday weekly
For a welfare check
My baby's cryin' crazy
Ain't seen nothing yet
Own a cardboard shelter
With a classic view on Rio
Sellin' cigarettes to the tourists down below
Girl's a sixteen year old carnival queen
Too poor to strike a match
If you know what I mean, If you know what I mean
But they dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't do without it
They dance, it's such an old tradition
That your soul belongs
Your soul belongs to music
They dance
Not too far from the ghetto
Life has a different feel
Food has a different flavour
Boot tap a different beat
Doberman's will be watchin'
Your every single move
You know you can't trust a stranger
Baby, oh ain't that the truth
Oh, ain't that the truth now
They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't do without it
They dance, it's such an old tradition
That your soul belongs , your soul belongs to music
They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't do without it
They dance, it's such an old tradition
Their souls belongs, their soul belongs to music
That's why they dance

They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't live without it
But they dance, it's such an old tradition
Your soul belongs, your soul belongs to music
That's why you dance


2. QUIET EYES

Tony, my head is on a pillow
Clock strikes, it's the count of four
Four hours of tossin' and turnin'
In a big brass bed
I've tried all the tricks in the book now
But I just can't sleep no more
Tony, what's happenin' to me
I'm tired and I'm cold
Somehow I'm imagining things
Movin' in the shadow
And my face is a painting crying
In the heat of the sun

Let the world outside, pay it's dues
I'll never know why, no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered
Tony, it's lookin' into your
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence, and the night lasted seven years

Meanwhile I'm counting all the hours
And I've counted all the days
On the pages of a calendar
And I threw it all away
Tony, I'm tryin' to make some sense babe
I'm always tryin' to get through to you
Maybe you're the last one to notice
How much I've been lovin' you

Let the world outside, pay it's dues
I'll never know why, no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered
Tony, it's lookin' into your
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence, and the night lasted seven years


3. SAVE THE BEST FOR LATER

I want you, yes I want you
How come you don't want me too
Like moonshine on silver water
The sun will shine only for me and you
I can't stop thinkin' about you
Can't stop tryin', baby to escape the blues

No don't close your eyes
You need a change of attitude
Is it possible for a girl to face the truth
It's a certified lie, works every time
But I can't deny, that I'm crazed out on you
Cross my heart, cross my heart

Well I can't buy you no roses
Can't give you anythin' you need
But I'm landslide and I'm comin'
And well, you better get yourself prepared for it
'Cause I can't stop thinking about you
Can't imagine livin' a life without you in it

No don't close your eyes
I wanna talk to you
Is it possible for a girl to face the truth
It's a certified lie, works every time
But I can't deny, that I'm crazed out on you

Cross my heart, cross my heart
I'm a qualified fool for you
Cross my heart
It's my dream and baby you're in it
Cross my heart
Hot sheets of satin
And a fountain of pearls in the next room
Oh it's so exaggerated
Like a Chinese wall to wall, now

We'll save the best for later
Always the best for later
Just can't hide the fact
That I'm all crazed out and I can't hold back
A jewel in a crown and I'll find you one
Any wish is my command
Small-talk at the gambling table
And you'll finally understand

We'll save the best for later
Always the best for later
Oh mercy mama, have some mercy and some faith in me
Every night a secret sundown
Whispers it to the breeze
Nothin' special honey
Only one more basic fact
You make me talk like that

There's nothing in the world
That can stop me from savin' the best for later (2x)
Always, save the best for later
Always save the best for later


4. HAVE A HEART

He reads a book every now and then
Goes to a show every now and then
He's nothing more then he might have been
Nothin' less than an average man
He hates to lose and he loves to win
He always plays it by the rules of the game
There goes the girl he's in love with
She plays a game called hard to get
Called hard to get
Oh baby, you're, you're so hard to get

The only thing in the world that I'm after
Prettier than a magazine
I lie awake and I dream of our love

Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready, he's ready for a hand to hold
Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready, he's ready for a hand to hold
He's ready for a hand to hold

Wise men say the times are changing
They say it's a sign of the times
How long will you keep me waiting
Could it be I'm the last in line
How long can the Armour take it
When it's ready for you to shine
You're the girl that I'm in love with
You're playin' a game called hard to get
Called hard to get
Oh baby baby you're you're hard to get

Hey little girl, queen of fun and laughter
Can't you see me beggin' like a dog
Can't you hear me scratchin' at your door

Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready, he's ready for a hand to hold
Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready, he's ready ready ready for your hand
Have a heart for the lonely boy

Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready, he's ready for a hand to hold
Have a heart for a lonely boy
He's ready for a night of joy
He's ready, he's ready for a hand to hold


5. LOVE IN MOTION

Oh, oh my love's in motion
Yeah, you've got me on the run
Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby 'cross the ocean
That's where daddy points his gun

The truth comes out
Your lies are never fast enough
The truth comes out
Like a pain in your sweet little ass dear

Take a ride on a slow train
Take a good look at your memory
Think it all over again
Make a choice and make sure you've decided

Mmm.., my love's in motion
You've got me on the run
Yeah, yeah, yeah my love's in motion
Everything's upside down

Two fine hearts
They don't cheat, 'cause they're meant to last
Two fine hearts, they bleed when they're torn apart
Do not think I'm a bad boy
Maybe just a little broken toy
I've gotta thank you babe
Before I turn around, turn around

Oh, oh my love's in motion
Yeah, you've got me on the run
Oh, oh baby 'cross the ocean
That's where daddy points his gun

Yeah my love's in motion
Oh, you've got me on the run
Yeah yeah baby 'cross the ocean
That's where daddy points his gun
My love's in motion
Everything's upside down


6. JANE JANE

She weighs her words on a silver tongue
While she cradles the phone, moves through the room
I can hear her lightin' a cigarette
But so far she said nothin' yet
Oh, they say that your love is poison
I think that it's just uncommon
Jane Jane

There's a dark side to you that turns me on
I wish I knew where it's comin' from
You're like a Spanish dancer on a TV set
You hide a rattlesnake under your dress
They say that your love is poison
I say that it's just uncommon
Jane Jane Jane
Don't make the same mistake again
Jane Jane
Don't break the chain
That ties you to my heart
Jane Jane Jane, listen babe
It's not a game anymore

I'm gonna throw myself in a wishing well
I'm gonna go spin-dizzy on a carrousel
Gonna gonna gonna drown myself in the pouring rain
And wash up on some far away shore again
They say that your love is poison
I can't do without it darlin'
Jane Jane Jane
Don't make the same mistake again
Jane Jane
Don't break the chain, that ties you to my heart
Jane Jane Jane, you've gotta listen to me babe Jane Jane
Oh Jane, you've gotta start makin' sense baby Jane
It's not a game, it's not a game anymore
Jane, Jane
Don't you know that we've gotta change
Jane Jane


7. JUMP & RUN

Time, time, time to change
But then you gotta sacrifice
Don't you know it's not a game
Killing your own brother
I hear footsteps on the stairs (jump and run boy)
And they're fading in the dark (don't jump and run boy)
I hear footsteps on the stairs (jump and run boy)
But they don't leave no mark

Jump and run
When you leave it all behind
When you recognize the truth
And you don't wanna stand aside
Yeah, when you burn your bridges down
There ain't no tomorrow
But you're looking down, down into a deep hole

Gimme light, gimme light, gimme light

Time, time, time may change
When the seed of the lie's been planted
I can hear the goose-step coming
Follow the leader blindfolded
I hear footsteps on the stairs (jump and run boy)
And they're fading in the dark (don't jump and run boy)
I hear footsteps on the stairs (jump and run boy)
But they don't leave no mark

Jump and run
When you leave it all behind
When you recognize the truth
And you don't wanna stand aside
Yeah, when you burn your bridges down
There ain't no tomorrow
But you're looking down, down into a deep hole
Into a deep hole


8. WHY DO I

We swing high, we swing low
Never worry about a dull moment
You're mine, I'm yours
We fight while we know that we shouldn't

Ten dollar, ten times
On sale to the highest bidder
Ten dollar, ten times
Is the price of love considered
You're right, I'm wrong
You always knew a good thing in the first place
One sundown, one moon down
One hole in a sky-blue ceiling

Ten dollar, ten times
Every time you hold the trigger
Ten dollar, ten times
Is the price of love
Why do I, hurt you so
Why can't I just let you go
Why do I, hurt you so
While I idolize you forever more

Ten dollar, ten times
On sale to the highest bidder
Ten dollar, ten times
Is the price of love considered

Your "yes" against my "no"
We never worry 'bout a dull moment
You're mine, and I'm yours
We fight while we know that we shouldn't

Ten dollar, ten times
Every time you hold the trigger
Ten dollar, ten times
It's the price of love

Why do I, hurt you so
Why can't I just let you go
Why do I, hurt you so
While I idolize you forever more

Ten dollar, ten times
Why do I, hurt your soul


9. A SHOUT IN THE DARK

It's rainin' on a summer night
I'm gonna take a ride on a dreamboat
Don't know 'bout it's destination
Higher than the clouds and the angels
Further than a million roads forever away
From the death-patrol

'Cause when I close my eyes, I dream of freedom
And when I open 'em, I see a multitude of good reasons
To get the hell out a here

Tonight I'm breaking out
Tonight I made a vow
That any minute now
I'm gonna climb the wall of freedom on my own
Yeah, tonight I'm full of doubt
Tonight there's no more doubt
That any second now
I'm gonna face a life of treason on my own

I hear a shout in the dark
A scream in the alley
It seems like the devil runs this whole city
I hear a shout in the dark
A scream in the alley
It seems like the devil shows me no pity
I'm going home

Tried it all day, lord
Time for me to kick off my working shoes
There's nothin' left to lose
Behind the tired buildings
Places that are haunting me, lie lingering
Beyond the Berlin Wall
I hear it whisper, I can hear it call
At night the sky for my hungry eye, hides a rainbow
Behind the concrete door

Tonight I'm breaking out
Tonight I made a vow
That any minute now
I'm gonna climb the wall of freedom on my own
Yeah, tonight I'm full of doubt
Tonight there's no more doubt
That any second now
I'm gonna face a life of treason on my own

I hear a shout in the dark
A scream in the alley
It seems like the devil runs this whole city
I hear a shout in the dark
A scream in the alley
It seems like the devil shows me no pity
I'm going home
