(How come it took you so long)
(Go ahead)

Forgiveness and mercy
In short supply
So lonely, so faithful
No reason why
In my mind at this time
(How come it took you so long)
Just clear blue sky
Your story just starting
Don't fear to fly
(Go ahead)

It takes a miracle to make you see
My consciousness exploded

Your past life
Don't suit you
Take my hand
Kiss the future
Let fortune
Uproot you
Take my hand
Kiss the future

(Go ahead)

No time now for sorrow
Meet life full blast
(Go ahead)
Let's take on tomorrow
Forget the past

It takes a miracle to make you see
My consciousness exploded

Your past life
Don't suit you
Take my hand
(How come it took you so long)
Kiss the future
Let fortune
Uproot you
Take my hand
Kiss the future

(How come it took you so long)
(Go ahead)

(Go ahead
Go ahead)

(How come it took you so long)
(Go ahead)

It takes a miracle to make you see
My consciousness exploded

Your past life
Don't suit you
Take my hand
Kiss the future
Let fortune
Uproot you
Take my hand
Kiss the future
(How come it took you so long)

(This is what you came here for)
Your past life
(Stop the engine, slam the door)
Don't suit you
(Leave that lonesome corridor)
Take my hand
Kiss the future
(Take the plunge and wipe the slate)
Let fortune
(Smile your smile, you're feeling great)
Uproot you
(Soon you're going to celebrate)
Take my hand
Kiss the future
(Time has gone to hesitate)
Your past life
(Nothing now can make you wait)
Don't suit you
(Take control of your own fate)
(How come it took you so long)
Take my hand
Kiss the future
(Take tomorrow in your hand)
Let fortune
(Make the others understand)
Uproot you
(One break that you must demand)
Take my hand
Kiss the future

(This is what you came here for
Stop the engine, slam the door)
(How come it took you so long).

When you gave your love to me, I never gave you chains.
If you need to prove you're free.
My love for you remains (you know my love stays)
Love is not a prison cell.
True love can never die
There's nothing that you shouldn't tell
You never have to lie (to me you shouldn't)

But if you have to keep something inside you.
You know I'll never want to steal it away

I respect your territory.
Hope there's room in world for me.
Is there room in your mind to see.
a doorway ? if you say

Blood is pumping through my heart.
And flowing through my veins.
All it keeps me living for.
The love that is sustains (You now I never).
Time stopped when I saw your face.
And if it start I'll cry
The universe is in your smile.
Is heaven in your eye ?

But if you have to keep something inside you.
You know I'll never want to steal it away

I respect your territory.
Hope there's room in your world for me.
Is there room in your mind to see.
a doorway ? if you say
I respect your territory (you need your territory.)
Hope there's room in your world for me (find a place in your world for me).
Is there room in your mind to see (I want a doorway).
A doorway ? if you say.

I respect your territory (you need your territory.)
Hope there's room in your world for me (keep a place in your mind for me ?).
Is there room in your mind to see (I want a doorway).
A doorway ? if you say.

I know you need your territory (you need your territory.)
Is there room in your world for me (Can't you see what it means to me ?).
Hope there's room in your mind to see (I need a doorway).
A doorway ? One fine day (I want a).

I respect your territory (you need your territory.)
Hope there's room in your world for me (Can't you find a place for me ?).
Is there room in your mind to see.
A doorway ? if you say (I want a doorway).

I respect your territory (I need a territory.)
Hope there's room in your world for me (Can't you find a place for me ?).
Is there room in your mind to see (I want a doorway).
A doorway ? (I want a, I want a, I want a doorway).
if you say.

Calling up the promised land
Johnny Seven's coming over the sea
He's taking your time
When you want to be free

Holding out a helping hand
Are you ready for a real career?
Will you be so cool
When it's happening here?

It don't say nothing that I haven't heard
If what I hear is true
You won't keep the law with a broken word
So what are you going to do?

Chorus:
Heart like a wheel
Turning away
from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel
Changing in time. Beating colder steel

Pass the message around the world
The medium is in retreat
The power is here
And packing some heat

Sell your soul to a holy war
Set the captive free
We make no promises anymore
But it isn't fooling me

(chorus)

You can't keep the wheels turning anymore
With anger, blood and fear
Or make any friends with an M16
When you blast your way
through here

I saw my baby. I said I let you down. I didn't mean to. I was
only messing 'round. You know that men are dreamers.
And it's all over now. It's all over now. It's all over now. All
over now. It's all over.

Now we're together. Forget about the pain. I'm yours
forever. Just take me home again. But she said men are
dreamers. And it's all over now. How can you say. Forget
yesterday? All men are dreamers.

Now we're together. Forget about the pain. I'm yours
forever. Just take me home again. But I say men are
dreamers. And it's all over now.

How can you say (can I say?) Forget yesterday? (think
about the future). All men are dreamers (men are
dreamers). Smile through the pain? (through the pain). It's
only a game? (a silly game). All men are dreamers (men are
dreamers).

I never meant to hurt you. Okay now we're together (can I
say?). Don't mean to hurt you, baby. It's okay we're together
(think about the future). I never meant to hurt you (now
we're together). Okay now we're together. Don't mean to
hurt you, baby (give me a future, come on, give me a
future). It's okay we're together.

How can you say (can I say?) Forget yesterday? (give
me a future). All men are dreamers (men are dreamers).
Smile through the pain? (through the pain). It's only a
game? (give me a future). All men are dreamers (men are
dreamers).

Time goes so fast today. Don't blink she'll go away. Don't
close your eyes. Not for one moment. You feel so good right
now. You have to stay somehow. Don't let it slip. Let time
stay frozen.

She needs you. You need her. Just like the sun. Don't think
that it's over. It's just begun.

Oh Mister Moon and Mister Sun. Our song has only just
begun. Oh Mister Sun and Mister Moon. Don't let these
minutes go too soon.

If wishes were for free. My only hope would be. To stop the
clock. Let's keep this moment. I guess that's just a dream.
As hollow as your own moon beam. So let us revel in our
time.

She needs you. You need her. Just like the sun. It never is
over. Once it's begun.

Oh Mister Moon and Mister Sun. Our life has only just
begun. Oh Mister Sun and Mister Moon. Don't let this
moment go too soon.

Oh Mister Moon and Mister Sun. Our life has only just
begun. Oh Mister Sun and Mister Moon. Don't let this
moment go too soon. Oh Mister Moon and Mister Sun. Our
song has only just begun. Oh Mister Sun and Mister Moon.
Don't let these minutes go too soon.

The smell of trees
Can only be that way
On a sunny day
Floating through the open window
To the cool inside
Where we lay side by side
How can anything we feel
Ever mean so much
As a summer love
How can anything we need
Ever get in touch
With the meaning of

A whole life waiting
Wishing suddenly
That it's gonna be the real thing
Or separating
Try your luck again
(It's just part of the adventure)

(Holy cow)
You do it to me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Oh, wow)
You're getting to me now
The soundtrack to a generation

Another tune
Before the light has gone
And we'll be on our way
The sounds and smells
Will always linger on
They're in my heart today

We feel so lucky then
The world's a massive place
But we run into each other
Just one small happening
An accident of fate
Or the work of co-conspirators
But if we knew
What could it do to help us now

(Holy cow)
You do it to me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Anyhow)
Just give it to me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Oh, wow)
You really got me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Holy cow)
You're getting to me now
The soundtrack to a generation

Years have gone on in between
But all I knew at seventeen
Is all I know now
Through times of joy and suffering
The music flavours everything
That's all I know now

(Holy cow)
You do it to me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Oh, wow)
You really got me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Anyhow)
Just give it to me now
The soundtrack to a generation

Just give it
You're getting
You do it
You really got me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Oh, wow)
Just give it
You're getting
You do it
You really got me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Oh, wow)
You really got me now
The soundtrack to a generation.

anyway.

The chronicle hasn't changed for fifteen years. The
apathetic outnumber volunteers. The grime on buildings is
just a memory. A shining face on the old academy.

Have a lovely day. Aftermath okay. Have a lovely day. Wipe
your tears away.

The gaze of laughter, an echo or a scream. The
reinforcement of someone else's theme. Turn and walk
without ever saying no. Light and dark in an even ratio.

Have a lovely day. Aftermath okay. Have a lovely day. Wipe
your tears away.

Naked under bedclothes. Fallen to the floor. Hot
anticipation. Causes slumber to withdraw. Are you going
out tonight? Will the evening be alright or more?

The stars are going out. The stars are going out. We used
to be so hot. A million kilowatt or more.

Sifting through the wreckage. At a hundred miles an hour.
Searching for a night club. A source of worship power.
Grabbing worn out cast off lovers. Throwing out a trail of
need or more. I never called you baby. Made the necessary
motion. Swallowed pride for peace of mind. While
swimming in your ocean. I always had to fit. Or be aware of
it or more.

The stars are going out. The stars are going out. We used
to be so tough. But just not tough enough that's all.

The stars are going out. The stars are going out. We used
to be so bad. But that was just a fad that's all.

The stars are going out. The stars are going out.

The stars are going out. The stars are going out. We used
to be so bright. But now we shake with fright that's all.

The stars are going out. The stars are going out. We used
to be so bad. But that was just a fad that's all.

The stars are going out. The stars are going out. We used
to be so tough. But just not tough enough that's all.

Let's get together again. All you need is here to stay. Let's
get together again. Forget about your yesterdays.

It's been a very long long time. Since I last remember
seeing you. I hope you write and say you're fine. Did you
ever sit and dream. Of the time when we would meet
again? It's very hard now you're not mine.

The 'phone's right next to you. And you know just what to
do. Just pick it up. And call my name.

Let's get together again. All you need is here to stay. Let's
get together again. Forget about your yesterday.

Tomorrow's just a step away. 'Til I come running back to
you. I hope you stay right by my side. I thought I'd never
see. My angel back here next to me. Promise me that you
won't hide.

The 'phone's right next to you. And you know just what to
do. Just pick it up. And call my name.

Let's get together again. All you need is here to stay. Let's
get together again. Forget about your yesterday.

And you know there ain't much time. I'm so alone. Please
come home. I'm on my own.

Let's get together again. All you need is here to stay. Let's
get together again. Forget about your yesterday.

Let's get together again. All you need is here to stay. Let's
get together again. Forget about your yesterday.

Let's get together again. All you need is here to stay. Let's
get together again. Forget about your yesterday.

Oh, you know, we'll get it right this time. I could be up
there with you so high, girl. (I really love you baby).

Oh and I say. Living my life in my own kind of way. This
time, this time, this time. Smacked on my chin but I'm back
with a grin. This time, this time, this time. I know I was
wrong but I won't go it alone. This time, this time. this time.
It won't be the same if you stay with me, baby.

Heaven so high. I see you so clear. Making up this time.

Oh, you know, we'll get it right this time. This time will be
for sure. I could be up there with you some time, girl. This
time will be for sure. (I really love you baby).

It's been a year. But where there's love there is nothing to
fear. This time, this time, this time. Made my mistakes but
no foot on the brakes. This time.

Heaven so wide. It seemed so clear. Time after time after
time.

Look at the way love has gone. Up there in your lonely room
tonight. Look at yourself pretty one. I could be holding you
oh so tight.

You know, we'll get it right this time. This time will be for
sure. I could be up there with you so high, girl. This time
will be for sure. (I really love you baby).

Look at the way love has gone. Talk about, talk about, talk
about, talk about. Don't let it disappear now. Up there
alone in your room every night. Isn't it sad what I see? All
alone all alone all alone all alone. Is this the way it should
be? Open the book and then take one mad look back.

Oh, you know, we'll get it right this time. This time will be
for sure. I could be up there with you so high, girl. This time
will be for sure.

(I really love you baby). Oh, you know, we'll get it right this
time. I could be up there with you so tight, girl. This time
will be for sure. (I really love you baby).

Oh, you know, we'll get it right this time. Oh, you know,
we'll get it right this time will be for sure. Oh, you know,
we'll get it right this time. Oh, you know, we'll get it right
this time this time will be for sure, girl.
