Genesis Album

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'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

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

All the time I was searching
Nowhere to run to
It started me thinking
Wondering what I could make of my life
And who'd be waiting
Asking all kinds of questions to myself
But never finding the answers
Crying at the top of my lungs
But no-one listening

All this time
I still remember everything you said
There's so much you promised
How could I ever forget

Listen
You know I love you but I just can't take this
You know I love you but I'm playing for keeps
Although I need you I'm not gonna make this
You know I want to but I'm in too deep

So listen, listen to me
Oh you must believe me
I can feel your eyes go thru me
But I don't know why

Oh I know you're going
But I can't believe
It's the way that you're leaving
It's like we never knew each other at all
It may be my fault
I gave you too many reasons for being alone
When I didn't want to
I thought you'd always be there
I almost believed you

All this time
I still remember everything you said
There's so much you promised
How could I ever forget

Listen
You know I love you...

So listen, listen to me
I can feel your eyes go thru me

It seems I've spent too long
Only thinking about myself
Now I want to spend my life
Just caring bout somebody else

Listen
You know I love you...

You know,
You decorate the garage walls,
Hang in people’s halls,
Live in secret drawers,
If you could look around you,
Wonder what you’d see.

Fiction.
That’s all you really are I know,
Editorial dreams.
They can’t make you real,
Tell me where you came from,
And where you’re going to.

I won’t ever, no I’ll never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I won’t ever, no I’ll never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?

Oh you know,
You’ve figured in some fantasies.
You would not believe,
What you’ve had to do,
Life goes on around you and all because of you.

No I won’t ever, no I’ll never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I won’t ever, no I’ll never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?

I won’t ever, no I’ll never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I won’t ever, no I’ll never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?

You know,
That in twenty years or more,
You’ll still look the same
As you do today.
You’ll still be a young girl,
When I’m old and grey.

No - I won’t ever, no I’ll never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I won’t ever, no I’ll never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?

I won’t ever, no I’ll never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I won’t ever, no I’ll never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?

[No lyrics]

Need I say I love you?
Need I say I care?
Need I say that emotions,
Are something we don't share?
I don't want to be sitting here,
Trying to deceive you
Cuz you know I know baby
That I don't wanna go

We can not live together
We can not live apart
And that's the situation
We've known it from the start
Every time that I look at you,
I can see the future
Cuz you know I know baby
That I don't wanna go

Just throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Is there nothing that I can say,
To make you change your mind?
I watch the world go round & round
And see mine turnin' upside down

Throwing it all away

Now who will light up your darkness?
And who will hold your hand?
Who will find you the answers,
When you don't understand?
Why should I have to be the one,
Who has to convince you?
Cuz you know I know baby,
That I don't wanna go

Then some day you'll be sorry
Some day when you're free
Memories will remind you,
That our love was meant to be
But late at night when you call my name,
The only sound you'll hear
Is the sound of your voice calling,
Calling out to me

Just throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
And there's nothing that I can say
Hey......

We're throwing it all away

Just a throwing it all away

Just a throwing it all away
