"Crazy"

"Crazy"



Y'get up every morning, see the same old face
Y'get in your car and drive it down to the same old place
Well, do you ever wonder what it's all about
Something they call freedom of choice
That you should not live without

Me, I'm feelin' lazy
And it's me that's on the line
I may be crazy
But I've been crazy for a long time

You take your action on weekends at a time
But you can make all week your own
If you set your mind
You see security in the chrome American dream
But I don't believe in livin' in the middle
With available extremes

Now there's many people see the truth in what I'm sayin'
But it's hard to make up your mind with a programmed brain
You who know better, but you're just gonna wait and see
Why don't you do it now, you may never get another
Opportunity

"Crying In The Rain"

"Crying In The Rain"



I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I look for stormy weather
To hide the tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool, but till then, darling, you'll
Never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

"Dancin' With Tears In My Eyes"

"Dancin' With Tears In My Eyes"



Never been the kind to stay at home
Even when I'm feeling down
So every night I go out on the town
Circulating around
Well, I thought I could forget about you
But every night I find
It's not as easy as I thought it would be
To dance you out of my mind

You've got me dancin' with tears in my eyes
Dancin' with tears in my eyes
You've got me dancin' with a hurt in my soul
I can't control my emotions
Ever since we said our goodbyes
Don't you know you can find me any old time

Dancin' with tears in my eyes
Dancin' with tears in my eyes
Dancin' with tears in my eyes
Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Now anything can happen in this day and age
Just take a look at me
My body keeps moving to the happy beat
While my spirit's in misery
You can't see it with the strobe lights flashing
No, I don't look out of place
But there's a whole different picture you'll see of me
When you get a look at my face

You'll see me dancin' with tears in my eyes
Dancin' with tears in my eyes
You'll see me dancin' with a hurt in my soul
I can't control my emotions
Ever since we said our goodbyes
Don't you know you can find me, you know you can find me
Don't you know you can find me any old time

Dancin' with tears in my eyes
Dancin' with tears in my eyes
Dancin' with tears in my eyes
Dancin' with tears in my eyes

"Dancing"

"Dancing"



I dance a little closer to you and watch you dance away
Hard selling what we both know tomorrow you may
Not be able to give away
And as I leave the stage
Dancing through my rage
I feel helpless as the music goes on, and we turn to another page

Dancing - everybody's dancing
Moving through the ballet
Never missing a cue
How sad, but how beautiful it can be
To watch the choreography
As we play out our fantasy

Red hair flashing under amber-colored lights
You pirouette too smoothly as you move around your ladies
And your fear of lonely nights
As you leap across the air
You're so perfectly aware
Of your audience in rapt attention
As you hang suspended there

You do have a tender side
I can feel it, though you've always tried to hide
It from me
'Cause you know that I'm one woman who's strong enough to see you
As you've always been afraid to be

Dancing - everybody's dancing

"Daughter Of Light"

"Daughter Of Light"



Daughter of light
You're a welcome sight
To a weary soul
Seeing you just lifts me out of the cold
It's only temporary
You have to go away
But you're beautiful
And you never fail to make my day

Daughter of light
You smile and all the sadness leaves my heart
It's an easy course for sailing that you chart
But it's only temporary
You have to go away
You're too beautiful
And you know I'd never ask you to stay

Riding on the beach at sunset
Dreaming of the world that waits for you
That's where my mind's eye sees you
In a world that frees you
To do anything that you want to do

Daughter of light
Though you can only be a sometime friend
You restore my faith in love again
And that's not temporary
Even though you go away
You're too beautiful
Much more than words can say

"Directions"

"Directions"



They tell me
When I've got my life on my mind
They're sorry
But they can't do a thing about it till tomorrow

I tell them
Now I don't want a lot of your time
Maybe they listen
Oh, but what do they know of my pain and my sorrow

Oooh, what will it cost you
After how many tears I've cried
How much longer must I try

Directions presenting themselves every day
Are bypassed
'Cause of somebody else's foolish limitations

Rejections - many have I had in my way
But I go on, yes, I do now, and try to overcome the bad vibrations

Oooh, what does it get you
Stealing somebody else's pride
How much longer must I cry

I can see all the things of which I've dreamed
If I dream any longer-what will it mean

Reflections
Of all I have wanted so long
Still are with me
As I ask myself how much longer must I try

"Disco Tech"

"Disco Tech"



If you want to get a real education
Come to the friendliest school in the nation
Rhythm is our way of communication
You won't ever want to take a vacation

You can meet the Dean of Boogaloo
He's gonna get down and boogie with you
At Disco Tech
Let me be your teacher
Disco Tech
Why don't you take home a diploma from
Disco Tech

We won't give you pomp and circumstance
All you're gonna need to do is dance
Why don't you enroll, give your soul a chance
You might even find a new romance

Everybody here is graded A
The only school records are the ones we play

At Disco Tech
Let me be your teacher
Disco Tech
Why don't you take home a diploma from
Disco Tech

"Do You Feel Love"

"Do You Feel Love"



She lives in the land of the used to be
These days, baby that's all she's got
She tries so hard just to stay in touch
But auld acquaintance long forgot
A half cup of coffee steaming in her hand
Too bad things didn't turn out quite the way she planned
She had hold of the brass ring but it came back sand
And broken promises

Do you feel love
Do you feel love tonight
Do you feel love
Do you feel love tonight

Yesterday I ran into an old friend
Standing on a corner in a cold sweat
So I took him walking down on Deal Street
To make a payment on a years-old debt
He told me what he's feeling; I told him all I know
He told me all about the fear when the night winds blow
Hey you don't need to hold on to wrongs of long ago
And broken promises

Do you feel love
Do you feel love tonight
Do you feel love
Do you feel love tonight
Do you feel love
Do you feel love tonight

You write your life story in your dreams at night
And hope your life turns out that way
In your racy lacy underwear you long for love
But love eludes you every day
All the old suspicions well up in your mind
You always look for trouble, so trouble's what you find
But you got the power to get out of the line
Of broken promises
Y'got to get out, get out, get out of the line

Do you feel love
Do you feel love tonight
Do you feel love,
Do you feel love tonight

"Do You Hear What I Hear"

"Do You Hear What I Hear"



Said the nightman to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see

A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear

A song, a song
High above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepard boy the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know

A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver a gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Listen to what I say

A child, a child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

"Down To The Darkness"

"Down To The Darkness"



Everything's lost in illusion
I keep moving, but I can't seem to get out of the shadows
Out into the light of day
Everyone's out in the afternoon
Turning their faces up to the sun like a spotlight
What's wrong with me, I don't want to play

You're my obsession, I just can't get you out of my mind
I look around and I see all the signs
They say danger

I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness
Down to the darkness
Oh, but I want you to
I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness
Down to the darkness
Oh, but you know I want you to
Oh, yes I want you to

I'm afraid of the dark
Oh, but I'm attracted to it
I'm afraid of the dark
I want to run away, but I can't do it

Through my hazy confusion
I close my eyes, but your image is indelibly burned there
Seared into my memory
Now as I stand on the edge of the precipice
Looking down into the black abyss
I know I'll be lost with just one kiss
But I want to be

Even as the tongues of fire lick at me from below
No turning back, I just can't let go of the danger

I know you're gonna take me down
I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness
Oh, but I want you to
I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness
Oh, down to the darkness
Oh, but you know I want you to
Oh, yes I want you to
I want you to take me down to the darkness
Down, down, down to the darkness
