God it takes so long
You have to be so strong
When they try to prove you wrong
Get the first bus to Babylon
You wanna be alone
You try to disconnect the phone
Try to bury every bone
Get the first bus to Babylon
How can it be when you want to be free
There's a conspiracy working around you
Children can tell what we know very well
They believe in the spell they're on the bus
When we're dead and gone
When we get where we belong
And we've sung the final song

I'm gonna try and steal a car
Drive it off with you somewhere afar
I'll start a fire deep inside
Find a place where we can hide
And as life flashes by
You want to know the reasons why
I'll be there with words to take you higher
One burning desire

I'm gonna try to be a light
Set the world on fire day and night
We start an education here
The signs look good no need to fear
The other people come and go
Why play the scenes they only know
I'll be here to help you walk the wire
One burning desire one burning desire

One burning desire x 4

I want to get inside your head
Find your ma and pa and what got said
And as we get familiar too
Find every scar and small tattoo
And as we start to play the game
I'll confess and take the blame
But you're the one who poured fuel on the fire
One burning desire one burning desire one burning desire

Another missing person another mystery
Another marriage on the rocks that's ending in misery
Another strike and another plague
Another mad dog held at bay
It comes as no surprise when I hear all the victims say
Black hair black eyes black suit
Black hair black eyes black suit

I'll take you out to the garden of eden
It was all those years ago
The same thing still happens today
As you all surely know
A poor girl consoles herself with thoughts of better days
And if you ask her why she looks so sad this is what she'll say
Black hair black eyes black suit
Black hair black eyes black suit

You'll find they're all blind when it gets to the lineup
Don't care if they stare when it gets to the lineup

I'll meet you out in the modern world
We got modern ideas too
So glad just to be around but I don't see nothing new
Its still the same struggle in the end
No matter who or where you be
Its still you on top and me down below and I'm trying to get free
Black hair black eyes black suit

Arthur lying down dreaming a dream
Woke up to realise life wasn't as it seems
Four walls a bed and a wonderful view
But he's feeling lonely without the rest of his crew

The prison's going down

Arthur wide awake feels misunderstood
What did he do to upset the neighbourhood?
Just being free as a bird
After all that's what they said they loved
When will it be explained to him when he gets above?

The prison's going down

Arthur's thinking 'bout the past
All of those crazy times loving very fast
What does the future hold will he get out soon?
Is there someone out there
Who'll phone him this afternoon?

He wakes up every morning comes back with love just for her in her bed
It's something that she likes and she told him so that's what she said alright
She responds with a purr and a wink just to let him know that it ain't wasted on
her
You know she appreciates it yes she sure appreciates
But when the sun is gone and the room is dark and cold
Then love can feel so old yeah
Just be on guard don't blacken your heart
That's the story of he and she That's the story of he and she
That's the story of he and she
That's the way love's supposed to be
And every day they do things for each other just to help life be a little easier
And it sure needs to be yes it sure enough needs to be
And every night they're glad that they got each other for another day
And why shouldn't it be that way
And why shouldn't it be that way
But if the rain is beating and the windows cry
Then love can wonder why
Just be on guard don't blacken your heart
Cos that's the story of he and she
That's the story of he and she
That's the story of he and she
That's the story of he and she
That's the
story of he and she

Oooh the feeling of a joyride coming on
I know how long I've waited now
Oooh the ceiling aint so far above my head
I want to hit it with my plough
We're revving we're revving we're turning on the power
We're burning we're burning we're coming like a flower
Oooh I'm dizzy and I'm flying above the circus though this kite aint left the
ground
I'm warming up
I'm cooling down
I hear it as her engines make their sound
We're revving we're revving we're turning on the power
We're burning we're burning we're coming like a flower
Hot cat on a tin roof
Hot cat on a tin roof
You know I mean that she's such a hot cat
And there's the tin roof if you need proof
Oooh I tremble as I touch her through my gloves
She knows she has me from now on
Oooh I tingle as she takes me up into the blue you know she ticks just like a
bomb
We're revving we're revving we're turning on the power
We're burning we're burning we're coming like a flower
Hot cat on a tin roof
