"10538 Overture"

"10538 Overture"



Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today
Did you see him run through the streets and far away
Aah
Did you see him run, did you see him fall
Did his life flash by at the bedroom door

Did you hear the news it came across the air today
Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay
Ahhh
Did you see him hide, did you see him crawl
Does his life mean more than it did before

Did you see that man running through the streets today
Did you catch his face, was it 10538
Ahhhh

"21st Century Man"

"21st Century Man"



A penny in your pocket
Suitcase in your hand
They won't get you very far
Now you're a 21st century man.

Fly across the city
Rise above the land
You can do 'most anything
Now you're a 21st century man.

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow (tomorrow)
You still wander the fields of your sorrow
What will it bring?

One day you're a hero
Next day you're a clown
There's nothing that is in between
Now you're a 21st century man.

You should be so happy
You should be so glad
So why are you so lonely
You 21st century man?

You stepped out of a dream
Believing everything was gone
Return with what you've learned
They'll kiss the ground you walk upon.

Things ain't how you thought they were
Nothing have you planned
So pick up your penny and your suitcase
You're not a 21st century man.

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
You still wander the fields of your sorrow (sorrow)
Tomorrow, 21st century man
21st century man
21st century man...

"A Long Time Gone"

"A Long Time Gone"



Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still you're not there
You're a long time gone
Such a long time gone

Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away 'til it's all obsolete
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
You're a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still
And I always will

Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream

Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone

Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
You're a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still
And I always will

You're a long time gone

Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream

You're a long time gone

Do I wonder why
You're a long time gone
You never did
I never said goodbye
You're a long time gone

"Above The Clouds"

"Above The Clouds"



I came along to see your face,
But the only thing I got from you,
Was telling me it's fantasy,
That you would always be with me,
I can tell you that it's true
I'm waiting here,
But it's alright
It's alright with me,
You better believe me now.

I guess it's like a mountain side,
You gotta climb it to the top,
Floating in a sea of dreams
The only thing that you can see
Is the view above the clouds.
I'm waiting here,
But it's alright,
Still it's alright with me,
You better believe me now.

"Across The Border"

"Across The Border"



I've been workin' so hard, baby,
tryin' to get to you.
I'm gonna be there soon because

In the heat of the day many miles away
when the sun is beating down upon the main street
I'll be waiting here at the station,
I gotta move down the line.
They'll be dancin' and singin' and doin' their thing
and they'll be rockin' and rollin' until the day is done.
You know I got to make the deadline.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.

The Mardi Gras will be blowing strong
and the people dancing all across the city.
I'm leaving here tonight,
I gotta move down the line.
I'm gonna catch a ride on the nine-o-five,
I'm gonna ride the rail until we reach the morning,
maybe three or four hundred miles.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.

When the wind is blowing softly
through the streets of a little town and the music's playin
you're waiting somewhere over the horizon.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.

"All My Life"

"All My Life"



All my life I was looking for you
And suddenly you were there
All my life I knew What I would do
Just stand there like a fool and stare

All my life
All my life

I'm so glad I found you
I just wanna be around you
All my life

All my life I searched for you
but you were never there were you
Thought I'd found you once or twice
It was a sad affair or two

All my life
All my life

I'm so glad I found you
I just wanna be around you

All my life yeah, yeah
All my life

"All Over The World"

"All Over The World"


Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what I just heard
There's gonna be a party all over the world

I got a message on the radio, but where it came from I don't really know
And I heard these voices calling all over the world

[Chorus:]
All over the world, everybody got the word
Everybody everywhere is gonna feel tonight

Everybody walkin' down the street, everybody movin' to the beat
They're gonna get hot down in the U.S.A. (New York, Detroit, L.A.)

We're gonna take a trip across the sea, everybody come along with me
We're gonna hit the night down in gay Pareee

[chorus]

[Instrumental break]

London, Hamburg, Paris, Rome, Rio, Hong Kong, Tokyo
L.A., New York, Amsterdam, Monte Carlo, Shard End and

[chorus]

Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what I just heard
Everybody walkin' down the street, I know a place where we all can meet
Everybody gonna have a good time, everybody will shine till the daylight

[chorus]

All over the world, everybody got the word [repeats 3x]

"All She Wanted"

"All She Wanted"



She was a good girl
Been true to herself
Never swayed by the notions of somebody else
She'd had it rough, maybe most of the time
With only one thing on her mind

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

There could be blue skies in her heart
She was waitin' for the good times to start
She never wanted diamonds
She never wanted gold
She was holdin' out for someone to hold

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

A loving man
All she wanted was a lovin' man

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

Loving man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man

"Alone In The Universe"

"Alone In The Universe"



Alone in the universe
All alone in the universe

That's how it feels now you are gone
I knew it all along
I'm such a long long way from home

Alone in the universe
All alone in the universe

It gets so sad in the unknown
I'm tired of being alone
I'm such a long long way from home

Alone in the universe
All alone in the universe

No matter where I try to roam
It only goes to show
I'm such a long long way from home
