Heart Album

Young man is angry, girl is afraid
She want to get high, He want to get paid

He had to jump up, she had to sit down
When they heard those words
About the trouble downtown

He had to shout, she had to cry
He wanted to kill, she wanted to die

City's burning
Cities burning

Grab for the dial, tune out the fright
But he turns left and she turns right
She look for love songs, he buys the drive
But all they can pull is bad news in tonight

City's burning
Cities burning

Ooohh mama tell me what do do

I know a woman
Never knew no one like her
She said "The world's made up of angels
Beautiful and fair."

She would give you anything
Give it all away
Just for one half moment
Believing love would stay

You're a bright light girl
Shine into his world
How you know your love is coming true
You're a bright light girl
In a disbelieving world
Now someone believes as much as you
And now you know he really loves you too

She opened up for trouble
Saw him come on strong
But when he could not meet her eyes
She thought she'd done it wrong
Each time love abused her
She would take the shame
Each time love would lose her
She would take the blame

No, you're a bright light girl
Shine into his world
Now you know your love is coming true
You're a bright light girl
In a disbelieving world
Now someone believes as much as you
And no you know he really loves you too

You never lost your magic vision
Always in your sight
Special intuition
Telling you it's gonna be alright

Oh, yeah, you're a bright light girl
Shine into this world
Now you know your love is coming true

You're a bright light girl
In a disbelieving world
Now someone believes as much as you
And how somebody really loves you too

Shine on

Stranger are you waiting
For someone to come down and love you in time
Stranger you're debating
Can you get the words in your head
And you're heart to rhyme

Feel like a perfect stranger
You been gone so long
It's come down to feeling
And you're feeling wrong

I know how you want to, you're a hero
Under the stars you are wild
Well, come on, I want you I'm telling you
You're only a stranger a little while

Feel like a perfect stranger, you been gone so long
But you still know how to make it baby
You got to make it strong

It just got too heavy to carry
It all came down
But you're still alive, you're still seething
Just in time, you found your time
And your timing is perfect stranger
What it gets down to, you, you, it's you baby
Only you
Only you
Your timing is perfect stranger
You been gone too long
But it's your time to make baby

I got an appointment to keep, for seven nights I couldn't sleep
I'm in a state of disbelief
It's my big chance on magic street

I followed this fashion doll down the famous hall
"Ginger won't be long at all" She said "Take a number
You'll be called."

I said "I'm gonna show him what I can do now its just between
us two." In the grand tradition...Private audition

(Wish I knew then what I know now)

I don't know what I did wrong, I thought I really laid it on
When he called out for some more, I gave him my standard encore

I gave him the Swanee River, and the good ship Rockin' Rye
The Stars and Stripes Forever, and good ol' Pal O' Mine
But that ain't what he was on about
He was casting for his couch

(ahem)
He said, "Come on baby, show me what you can do,
Now it's just between us two.

Angels
Angels
They didn't want to be, but suddenly they're free
Angels
Angels
I hear them in the trees I wish that one was me

I watch clouds roll overhead
No, it's me that moves instead
Round and round and round
Clouds are faces I can see
I can see they're seeing me
I can tell cause we know each other well
We know each other well

Angels
Angels
I hear them in the trees
I wish that one was me

Angels how high have you been
Since you left this world I'm in
And what did you see 'bout me
Will my time go very far?
Does love reach up where you are?
Then take it along
I pay you for your song

Now everybody in this neighborhood
All you women better listen good
I know it's just a matter of time
Till one of you steps out of line
All I got is this to say
Simple message to relay
Get out of here and just keep away
Coz this man is mine
This man is mine
This man, this man is mine

I know the women round here recognize something good
Even try to take it if they could
So I'm using every little trick I know
Making sure that he won't go
I put up all my resistance
All you girls you better keep your distance
We don't need no more of your assistance

This man is mine
This man is mine
This man, this man is mine

He got passion burning in his eyes
Steaming up the night
Always makes me realize
What I done was right

This man is mine
This man is mine
This man, this man is mine

(Gonna love him, gonna teach him,

Go to the city away from the land, stand in a line
Where they stamp your hand, wind up at a dance
You want to energize, is it just by chance
People have electric eyes

Wires and strings, line that lead to power supplies
Games read green on table screens, charged and powered
Mediaized, we are channeled, we are hypnotized

Wake up, shake up the situation
Hold on, help the situation
Human condition, so extreme, you can see it feeding the new
machine

There is still a dream, our humanity, hero rebels die
Leaving us the key
Wake up, shake up the situation

Hey darlin' darlin' gonna say it true
No one understands me like you do
I got the story when I was a child
I took me over and turned me wild
Only to make it true

But when I'm alone all alone
No one home, the TV and the phone
Still say 'it will rain today"
O.K.

Hey darlin', darlin' help me understand
What went wrong with the peaceful plan
Was it bold?

I ain't wishing for what used to be
I only hope that you and me can keep hold, unsold

When you go t no history, you're free
You sing and you believe so strong
You hold out fast and long, so long

Now the latest is the greatest is their plan
But they didn't make us and they can't break us
Darlin', darlin' I don't think they can
Darlin', darlin' I don't think they can

Hey darlin', darlin' how's it gonna be?

Wake up love
Wake up baby
I want to tell you
Let me say
Dreaming never looked so true
One word ain't enough
Heaven's finding eyes in you
How can I say Love?

Many smilers
Lie to each other
Children hide with pretty words
So many times we seem to find
Children play too rough
Never too late for what we are made for
How can I say Love?

All this feeling here inside
One word ain't enough
The way to say it seems to hide
How can I say Love?

How do we wind up
Why do we wind up
So alone?

How many roads do we gotta travel on
till we find out we're already home?
Already home

All this feeling here inside
One word ain't enough
The way to say it seems to hide

Fast times
Fast times
Bell, bell ringing me out of my sleep
Make the world on time
make a little money, little money to keep

When you see the light turn green
You better be the first off the line
You gotta move and move right now
Or you gonna get left behind

Fast times
Fast times

Same old school bee
I don't care too much about making those grades
Every day, every single day
I only come here just to see my babe
Night shift
Cash it out

Time clock punching me out of the door
Fire it up come on rev it, rev it up
Shoot my care into the freeway war

Fast times
Fast times

At the end of one day's race
I just got to see my darling's face
Before the day starts in again
Before the morning rings and rings
My baby's waiting anxiously
Pouring kisses over me
Always makes my nights so warm

My daddy told me about the old glory days
But I made up my mind about Daddy's ways

We followed King to Atlanta and got the slaves all free
And the ladies come out from behind the fans of gentry

America
America
How you've broken free
America
America
Was your destiny

I was at Daddy's bedside the night that he went
He whispered real sad "the south won't rise again"
They've all gone to Chicago to lose the slow accent
Leaving me behind wondering where we went

America
America
Are you losing your mind
America
America
