Hot sun, beating down
Burning my feet just walking around
Hot sun, making me sweat
Gator's getting close, hasn't got me yet
I can't dance, I can't talk
Only thing about me is the way I walk
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling everything

Blue jeans sitting on the beach
Her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach
She's got a body under that shirt
But all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt
'Cause I can't dance, I can't talk
Only thing about me is the way I walk
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling
Oh, I'm checking everything is in place
You never know who's looking on

Young punk spilling beer on my shoes
Fat guy's talking to me, trying to steal my blues
Thick smoke, see her smiling through
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool
But I can't dance, I can't talk
The only thing about me is the way that I walk
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling
Oh, I'm checking everything is in place
You never know who's looking on
The perfect body with a perfect face

No, I can't dance, I can't talk
The only thing about me is the way I walk
No, I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling everything

But I can walk

No, I can't dance

No, no, no, I can't dance

No, I said I can't sing

Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good
With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes
The sun is shining so I head for the park,
With a bottle of Tequila, and a new pack of cigarettes

I got a cousin and she got a friend,
Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help
At his apartment I knocked on the door,
he wouldn't come out until he got paid.
Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do
if they find out you know that they'll never let me through.

It's no fun being an illegal alien
No It's no fun being an illegal alien

Down at the office had to fill out the forms
A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose,
Up to the counter to see what they think
They said 'It doesn't count man, it ain't written in ink'.
Don't trust anybody least not around here, cos

It's not fun being and illegal alien,
It's not fun being and illegal alien,
It's not fun being and illegal alien,
It's not fun being and illegal alien,
An illegal alien, O.K.

Consideration for your fellow man
Would not hurt anybody, sure fits in with my plan
Over the border, there lies the promised land
Where everything comes easy, you just hold out your hand

Key to suspicions, I've seen that look before,
but I ain't done nothing wrong now, is that such a suprise.
But I've got a sista, who'd be willing to oblige
she will do anything now, to help me get to the outside


So don't tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know that they'll never let me through.

It's no fun being an illegal alien,
It's no fun being an illegal alien,
It's no fun being an illegal alien,
It's no fun being an illegal alien.

In and out of darkness, in and out of sleep
trying to keep my hands upon the wheel.
Never saw the corner in the driving rain.
I never saw her step into the street.

Dreaming while you sleep
dreaming while you sleep
memories to keep
dreaming while you sleep

I can never understand what went thru my mind
I didn't stop to see what I had done.
I had to keep on driving deep into the night
the miles between would somehow put it right

Dreaming while you sleep
dreaming while you sleep
memories to keep
dreaming while you sleep

All my life you lie silently there
All my life in a world so unfair
All my life and only I'll know why
and it will live inside of me,
I will never be free all my life,
trapped in her memory all my life
Till the day that you open your eyes,
please open your eyes

Dreaming while you sleep
dreaming while you sleep

Heard it on the radio, saw it on TV,
but coud I take my secret to the grave.
If I had another chance, would I do the same?
Would I still deny that it was me?

Dreaming while you sleep
dreaming while you sleep
Dreaming while you sleep,
Are you dreaming while you sleep?

All my life I'll be haunted by
all my life just one moment in time
all my life until the day I die
and it will live inside of me
I will never be free all my life
trapped in her memory all my life
Till the day that you open your eyes

All of my life - you lie silently there
All my life - in a world so unfair
All my life - and only I know why
And it will live inside of me
I will never be free all my life
Trapped in her memory - all my life
Till the day that you open your eyes

Bluegirls come in every size
some are wise and some otherwise
They've got pretty blue eyes
For an hour a man may change
For an hour her face looks strange
Looks strange, looks strange

Marching through the promised land
Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand
Pulls you down on your knees
While you're down a pool appears
The face in the water looks up
And she shakes her head as if to say
That it's the last time you'll look like today

Sail away, away
Ripples never come back
Gone to the other side
Sail away, away

The face that launched a thousand ships
Is sinking fast, that happens you know
The water gets below
Seems not very long ago
Lovelier she was than any that I know

Angels never know it's time
To close the book and gracefully decline
The song has found a tale
My, what a jealous pool is she
The face in the water looks up
And she shakes her head as if to say
That the bluegirls have all gone away

Sail away, away
Ripples never come back
Gone to the other side
Look into the pool
Ripples never come back
Dive to the bottom and go to the top to see where they have gone
Oh, they've gone to the other side

Well I've been waiting
Waiting here so long
But thinking nothing
Nothing could go wrong
But now I know
She has a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I'm falling
Falling for her

She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
She reaches in
Grabs right hold of your heart

She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart.

I don't really know her
I only know her name
But she crawls under your skin
You're never quite the same
And now I know
She's got something you just can't trust
It's something mysterious
And now it seems I'm falling
Falling for her

She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
She reaches in
Grabs right hold of your heart

She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
It takes control and
Slowly tears you apart

She don't like losing
To her it's still a game
Though she'll mess up your life
You'll want her just the same

Now I know
She has a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I've fallen
Fallen for her

She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
She reaches in
Grabs right hold of your heart

She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
It takes control
And slowly tears you apart

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street

Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night

*There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
*And not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Oh Superman where are you now
Everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, men of power
Are losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
*But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion

*This is the world we live in
*And these are the hands we're given
*Use them and let's start trying
*To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago
Oh when the sun was shining
And the stars were bright all through the night
And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight
So long ago

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep

*Too many men, there's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see this is the land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to

I'm coming down
Coming down like a monkey
But it's all right
It's like a load on your back
That you can't see
Oh but it's all right

Try to shake it loose, cut it free
Let it go
Just get it away from me

'Cos tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight

I'm going down
Going down like a monkey
But it's all right
It's like a helter skelter
Going down and down
Round and round
But just get it away from me

Because tonight, tonight, tonight
We're gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight

I've got some money in my pocket
I don't remember where I got it
I gotta give it to you
So please answer the phone
'Cause I keep calling
But you're never home
What am I gonna do

Tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight

You keep telling me I've got everything
You say I've got everything I want
You keep telling me you're gonna help me
You're gonna help me but you don't
But now I'm in too deep
It's got me so that I just can't sleep
Get me out of here
Please get me out of here
Just help me I'll do anything
Anything if you'll just help
Get me out of here

I'm coming down
Coming down like a monkey
But it's all right
Like a load on your back
That you can't see
But it's all right

Try to shake it loose, cut it free
Let it go
But just get it away from me

'Cause tonight, tonight, tonight
May be we'll make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Please get me out of here
Someone get me out of here
Just help me I'll do anything
Anything if you'll just help
Get me out of here

Tonight I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Talk to me, you never talk to me.
Ooh, it seems that I can speak.
I can hear my voice shoutin' out.

But there's no reply at all.

Look at me, you never look at me.
Ooh, I've been sittin, starin', seems so long.
But you're lookin' through me
Like I wasn't here at all.

No reply. There's no reply at all.

Dance with me, you never dance with me.
Ooh, it seems that I can move.
I'm close to you, close as I can get.

Yet there's no reply at all.
There's no reply at all.

Be with me. Seems you're never here with me.
Ooh, I've been tryin' to get over there.
Oh, but it's out of my reach.

And there's no reply at all.
There's no reply at all.

I get the feelin' you're tryin' to tell me;
Is there somethin' that I should know?
What excuse are you tryin' to sell me?
Should I be readin' stop or go?
I don't know.

Be with me. Seems you're never here with me.
Ooh, I've been tryin' to get over there.
Oh, but it's out of my reach.

And there's no reply at all.
There's no reply at all.

I get the feelin' you're tryin' to tell me;
Is there somethin' that I should know?
What excuse are you tryin' to sell me?
Should I be readin' stop or go?
I don't know.

Maybe deep down inside,
I'm tryin' for no one else but me,
too stubborn to say, "The buck stops here.
I'm not the one you're lookin' for."

But maybe deep down inside, I'm lyin'
To no one else but me.
Oh, but my back is up. I'm on my guard
With all the exits sealed.

Listen to me, you never listen to me.
Oooh, and it seems there's no way out.
I've been tryin' but we cannot connect.

And there's no reply at all.
There's no reply at all.
There's no reply at all.
No reply at all.
Is anybody list'nin? Oh, there's no reply at all...

See the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know,
But he waits everyday now.
He's just waiting for something to show.

And nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
'Cos there's no hiding place,
There's no hiding place - for you.

Looking everywhere at no one,
He sees everything and nothing at all - oh.
When he shouts nobody listens,
Where he leads no one will go - oh.

He's a lonely man, there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know,
But he waits everyday now.
He's just waiting for something to show - oh.

Nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
'Cos there's no hiding place,
There's no hiding place - for you and me.

Are we just like all the rest,
We're looking too hard for something he's got
Or moving too fast to rest.
But like a monkey on your back you need it.
But do you love it enough to leave it - ah.

Just like the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know - oh.
But he waits every day now.
He's just waiting for that something to show - oh.

Who's the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know.
But he's there every day now.
And he's just waiting for something to show - oh.

Who's the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know.
Oh but he waits every day now.
He's just waiting for that something to show.
