You can take the sun and the moon and the stars You can take the beach and the waves and the shores But don't take tonight Don't take tonight You can take the angels away from the gods You can take the needles away from the nods But don't take tonight Don't take tonight It means that much to me it means that much to me It means that much to me it means that much to me (guitar solo) It means that much to me it means that much to me It means that much to me it means that much to me You can take the planes and the trains and the cars You can take it way back, back to the start But don't take tonight Don't take tonight You can take the breaks like the one now a scar You can take the words straight out of my mouth But don't take tonight Don't take tonight It means that much to me it means that much to me It means that much to me it means that much to me

One step closer Wearing clothes to look like you With broken pieces that you force together with glue And to be you is to know you make believe Exploding bombs inside your sleeve I'm in orbit circling round your atmosphere And transmitting translations of things you said Circling stars that, circling stars that circle you Crashing rockets in your shoe I'm just circling your atmosphere Riding the skyway that keeps you near I'm just circling your atmosphere Riding the skyway that keeps you here One step further, one step further from the truth Broken heart-ed you try to force together with glue And you try to reach for me but you find that you can't Earthquakes and floods inside your pants I'm in prison circling stuck in your tractor beam And transmitting explanations of what you mean Circling planets whose faces look like you Crashing rockets in your shoe I'm just circling your atmosphere Riding the skyway that keeps you near I'm just circling your atmosphere Riding the skyway that keeps you here

Say it isn't so This rumors in disguise It's all just a pack of lies So don't you push And shove me up against the wall I'm standing tall and after all You touch me, you fill my life And that is why, I don't want to buy Flowers for Julie Flowers for Julie Flowers for Julie Flowers for Julie No no don't believe a word A word of what you've heard Repeat it only if you're sure Sure you want to push And shove me up against the wall I'm standing tall and after all You touch me, you fill my life And that is why, I don't want to buy Flowers for Julie Flowers for Julie Flowers for Julie Flowers for Julie

Dirty Looks 01:52
I don't know if this could be I see the way you look at me We've been here before, we've been here before We tend to run into discord And our times really come to be It doesn't have to be with me It makes it bad, it makes it bad With all those things we could've had I guess I'm just not built that way At least I feel that way today It was better before, better before No I don't like the looks of this At all At all At all and all and all and all No I don't like the looks of this at Never lose these hopes and dreams It's not the loss it sometimes seems Shining star, shining star We tend to run but not that far And our time cannot come today Because we clocked in yesterday Makes me glad, makes me glad For all the great things that we've had And I won't let society Judge and grade me not to be Better before, better before No I don't like the looks of this At all At all At all and all and all and all No I don't like the looks of this At all At all At all and all and all and all No I don't like the looks of this at all

He said she said he said she said he said You think you're so cool She said he said she said he said she said Don't act like a fool They go back and forth at one another Just like a sister and her brother Guess that's just the way for lovers He said she said he said she said he said You think you're so right She said he said she said he said she said Don't try to pick a fight They go back and forth at one another Just like a sister and her brother Guess that's just the way for lovers They go back and forth at one another Just like a sister and her brother Guess that's just the way for lovers

Blah blah blah blah blah blah Is all I hear Blah blah blah blah blah blah Is all I hear Blah blah blah blah blah blah Is all I hear Blah blah blah blah blah blah In and out my ear As if they've ever understood All the words are made of wood And they burn in this fire here As if I'll ever understand I'm just made up of man And I learn in this fire here You gotta get right You gotta get right Down on it You gotta get right You gotta get right Down on it Blah blah blah blah blah blah Is all you say Blah blah blah blah blah blah Is all you say Blah blah blah blah blah blah Is all you say Blah blah blah blah blah blah Is all I hear anyway As if they've ever understood All the words are made of wood And they burn in this fire here As if I'll ever understand I'm just made up of man And I learn in this fire here You gotta get right You gotta get right Down on it You gotta get right You gotta get right In your head

Muster Up 02:11
You'll be sorry the next time that you see me I'm gonna rough you up so tenderly You'll be happy the next time you see me go That's when you'll know for sure that the pain is over And I feel sorry for your inability To muster up the guts to offer me an apology So you'll be broken the next time you see the sun I'm gonna fix it so your rotten life's no fun You'll be wishing that you'd never shattered glass When this kindly heart-ed man kindly kicks your ass And I feel sorry for your inability To muster up the guts to offer me an apology You'll be sorry the next time that you see me I'm gonna rough you up so tenderly

Rumor 01:22
I heard a rumor I could've died I heard a rumor I could've cried They said that you were they could've lied They said that you were they could've lied I heard a rumor I could've died I heard a rumor I could've cried They said that you were they could've lied They said that you were they could've lied Now even I wanna make it with you I wanna make it with you I wanna make it with you I wanna make it with you Now even I wanna make it with you I wanna make it with you I use to be prude Now even I wanna make it with you I wanna make it with I wanna make it with you I wanna make it with you I wanna make it with you Now even I wanna make it with you I heard a rumor

Wake Up 02:04
Woke up on the floor stare back at a ceiling Still not quite sure if I'm going or leaving Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up Awake on the boards still not quite sure Just what was different I think I was bleeding And I kept on going wait up, wait up, wait up Oh no, here we go, here we go You were still sleeping I told you my feelings Told you the truth despite all my instincts Enough, enough, enough, enough, enough Time capsule anchor give me my answer I keep on floating and I keep on sinking Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Oh no, here we go, here we go I believe in you

I wanna be a big shot and it's all your fault I wanna be in the spotlight and it's all your fault I'll get down on my knees and it's all your fault I wanna be a disease Oh I swear I'm gonna Walk right out of here Leaving behind my beer Til I'm the last one standing here I'll keep on keeping on Keep on keeping on Keep on keeping on Keeping on Rock and roll ruined my life When she became my wife Rock and roll Rock and roll Rock and roll Rock and roll ruined my life

Carry On 02:23
I don't know what I'm supposed to do next Just not sure where I should go Most recent the best of me is closing softly I've just got to find a way to carry on Carry on Carry on Carry on Find a way to carry on Carry on Carry on Find a way to carry on What the hell is going on Is everything coming or gone What the hell is going on Gotta get myself back where I belong And find a way to carry on Carry on Carry on Carry on Find a way to carry on Carry on Carry on Carry on Find a way to carry on Carry on Carry on Carry on Find a way to carry on Carry on Carry on Carry on Find a way to carry on
