We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see"
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of 16 vestal virgins
We're leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin' When he was eight years old A little girl came through the front gate Holdin' a fishin' pole His dad looked down and smiled Said, "We can't leave her behind Son, I know you don't want her to go But someday you'll change your mind"
And Johnny said
Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson Take my best friend, Bo Take anybody that you want as Long as she don't go Take any boy in the world Daddy, please, don't take the girl
Same old boy, same sweet girl Ten years down the road He held her tight and kissed her lips in Front of the picture show Stranger came and pulled a gun Grabbed her by the arm Said, "If you do what I tell you to, there Won't be any harm"
And Johnny said
Take my money, take my wallet Take my credit cards Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me Here's the key to my car Mister, give it a whirl But, please, don't take the girl
Same old boy, same sweet girl Five years down the road There's gonna be a little one and she Says, "It's time to go" Doctor says, "The baby's fine But you'll have to leave 'Cause his momma's fadin' fast" and Johnny hit his knees
And there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me Take the heart from my chest I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me Make this my last request Take me out of this world God, please, don't take the girl
Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin' When he was eight years old
My love
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's right
My first love
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do
And your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Oh yes, you will always be
My endless love
Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love
I'll be a fool for you, I'm sure
You know I don't mind
I don't mind
'Cause you
You mean the world to me
Oh, I know
I've found in you
My endless love
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, and love
I'll be a fool for you, I'm sure
You know I don't mind
I don't mind
And, yes, you'll be the only one
'Cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
I'll give it all to you
My love, my love
My endless love
Love, my endless love
Oh, oh, oh my
My, my, my, my endless love
Ooh, ooh, my, my, my
My love
My endless love
Feel so washed up today Haven't really got much to say
Blood on the pillow of my bed Explains the pain that's in my head
Sometimes I don't know which way to go Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well ''cause I'm walking on a high wire High wire
Oh won't someone let me in I'm stinking and I'm full of gin No need to close the door so fast I'm very fragile not built to last
Sometimes I don't know which way to go Sometimes I can't tell But it's just as well ''cause I'm walking on a high wire Diving through the ring of fire High wire
Have to pull it together We're in for some stormy weather Have to pull it together We're in for some nasty weather High wire, high wire
It really isn't too much fun Sitting round waiting for the night to come It's almost time to put on my suit of cool I may be an idiot but indeed I am no fool
Sometimes I don't know which way to go Sometimes I can't tell but it's just as well 'Cause I'm walking on a high wire

Man, what in the world is happening down here in the hall?
I wouldn't have a clue, let's go check this thing out
Woo!
What is happening here?
Something's going on that's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the lights
We're gonna have a party, it's starting tonight
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
The room is hot and that's good
Some of my friends came by from the neighborhood
The people startin' a-climb the walls
Ooh, it looks like everybody is having a ball
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, oh what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Come on!
Woo!
Alright
Everybody starts to lose control when the music is right
If you see somebody hangin' around don't get up-tight
The only thing we wanna do tonight
Is go 'round and 'round and turn upside down
Come on let's get down!
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
So come on, let's get loose
Don't hold back 'cause ain't no use
Hard to keep your feet on the ground
'Cause when we like to party we only wanna get down
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling, baby
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Say what?
Can't stop now
Just getting started
Everybody clap your hands
Come on
Everybody let's dance
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Baby, baby
Oh, we gonna dance all night
I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
I go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothin' but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Messages keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Hey baby
Six o'clock already I was just in the middle of a dream I was kissin' Valentino By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late 'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid These are the days When you wish your bed was already made
Chorus: It's just another manic Monday I wish it was Sunday 'Cause that's my funday My I-don't-have-to-run day It's just another manic Monday
Have to catch an early train Got to be to work by nine And if I had an aeroplane I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear Blame it on the train When the bus is already there
Chorus
All of the nights Why did my lover have to pick last night To get down Doesn't it matter That I have to feed the both of us Employment's down He tells me in his bedroom voice C'mon honey, let's go make some noise Time it goes so fast When you're having fun
I know just how to whisper And I know just how to cry I know just where to find the answers And I know just how to lie I know just how to fake it And I know just how to scheme I know just when to face the truth And then I know just when to dream
And I know just where to touch you And I know just what to prove I know when to pull you closer And I know when to let you loose And I know the night is fading And I know the time's gonna fly And I'm never gonna tell you Everything I gotta tell you But I know I gotta give it a try
And I know the roads to riches And I know the ways to fame I know all the rules And I know how to break 'em And I always know the name of the game
But I don't know how to leave you And I'll never let you fall And I don't know how you do it Making love out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all
Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun Are streaming through the waves in your hair And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes Like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost And it's looking for a rhythm like you You can take the darkness from the pit of the night And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know Well it's nothing till I give it to you
I can make the runner stumble I can make the final block And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle I can make all the stadiums rock I can make tonight forever Or I can make it disappear by the dawn I can make you every promise that has ever been made I can make all your demons be gone
But I'm never gonna make it without you Do you really want to see me crawl And I'm never gonna make it like you do Making love out of nothing at all
Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all Making love, Out of nothing at all
Pack up all my cares and woes
Feeling low here I go
Bye, bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar sweet so is she
Bye, bye blackbird
No one seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep handing me
Where somebody shines the light
I'll be coming on home tonight
Bye, bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird
Nobody seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep on handing me
Where somebody shines the light
Yes I'm coming on home tonight
Bye, bye blackbird (Oh lord yeah, I wanna sing about that black bird) Oh
