Just a small town girl Livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train going anywhere Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train going anywhere A singer in a smoky room The smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights people Living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night Working hard to get my fill Everybody wants a thrill Paying anything to roll the dice Just one more time Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights people Living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Streetlight people Ohhhhhh Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Streetlight people Ohhhhhh Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Street light people Ohhhhhh Don't stop...

Out of the ruins Out from the wreckage Can't make the same mistake this time We are the children The last generation We are the ones they left behind And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it Living under the fear 'till nothing else remains We don't need another hero We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond The Thunderdome Looking for something we can rely on There's got to be something better out there: Love and compassion (Love and compassion) Their day is coming (Their day is coming) All else are castles built in the air (air) And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it Living under the fear 'till nothing else remains All the children say We don't need another hero We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond The Thunderdome So, what do we do with our lives We leave only a mark Will our story shine like a light Or end in the dark Give it all or nothing We don't need another hero We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond The Thunderdome We don't need another hero We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond The Thunderdome We are the children And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it (Nothing else remains) The last generation (We don't need another hero) Out of the ruins Out from the wreckage (Out from the wreckage)

Baby don't understand why we just can't hold on to each others hands This time might be the last I fear unless I make it all to clear I need you so... can't let you go... noo oh So take these broken wings and learn to fly again Learn to live so free and when we hear the voices sing The book of love will open up and let us in Take these broken wings... Baby end tonight we can take what was wrong And make it right... cause baby it's all I know That your half of the flesh and blood that makes me whole Makes me whole. I need you so baby I need you so So take these broken wings and learn to fly again Learn to live so free and when we hear the voices sing The book of love will open up and let us in Take these broken wings you've got to learn to fly Learn to lift and love so free And when we hear the voices sing the book of love will open Up for us and let us in So take these broken wings and fly away Learn to live enough for another day Lets fly lets fly (x2) Ooh child things are gonna get easier Ooh child things are get brighter

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door Last night a little angel came pumping cross my floor She said "Come on baby I got a licence for love And if it expires pray help from above" In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more" In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell- "more, more, more" More, more, more She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed What set you free and brought you to be me babe What set you free I need you hear by me Because In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more" In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell- "more, more, more" He lives in his own heaven Collects it to go from the seven eleven Well he's out all night to collect a fare Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair I walked the world with you, babe A thousand miles with you I dried your tears of pain, babe A million times for you I'd sell my soul for you babe For money to burn with you I'd give you all, and have none, babe Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me Because In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more" In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more" With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more" More, more, more Oh yeah little angel She want more More, more, more, more, more Oh yeah little angel She want more More, more, more, more, more

Do you remember a guy that's been In such an early song I've heard a rumour from Ground Control Oh no, don't say it's true They got a message from the Action Man Oh happy, hope you're happy too I've loved all I've needed love Sordid details following" The shrieking of nothing is killing Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair And I'd quit but the planet it's glowing Ashes to ashes, fun to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low Time and again I tell myself I'll stay clean tonight But the little green wheels are following me Oh no, not again I'm stuck with a valuable friend Oh happy, hope you're happy too One flash of light but no smoking pistol I've never done good things I've never done bad things I've never done anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh I want an axe to break the ice I wanna come down right now Ashes to ashes, fun to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low My mama said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mama said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mama said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mama said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain I'll see you Give the same to me then I'll be closer, closer Give the same to me then I'll be closer, closer Smiling with the mouth of the ocean And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain Give the same to me then I'll be closer, closer Give the same to me then I'll be closer, closer

Fallen on hard times --- but it feels good to know That milk and honey's just around the bend Running on bad lines --- we'd better run as we go Tear up, tear up the overdraft again Oh, dear Prime Minister --- it's all such a mess Go right ahead and pull the rotten tooth Oh, Mr. President --- you've been put to the test Come clean, for once, and hit us with the truth Looking for sunshine --- oh but it's black and it's cold Yet, you say that milk and honey's just round the bend Giving us a hard time, my friends Handing us the same line again Fallen on hard times --- and there's nowhere to hide Now they've re-possessed the Rolls Royce and the mink Turning on the peace sign --- and it's back to the wood Soon there will be raised a holy stink Somebody wake me. I've been sleeping too long Oh, I don't have to take this lying down You can keep your promises. Shove 'em where they belong Don't ask me to the party --- won't be around

I keep looking for something I can't get Broken hearts lie all around me And I don't see an easy way to get out of this Her diary, it sits by the bedside table The curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this CHORUS: Oh, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away, I should've walked away Is there any just cause for feeling like this? On the surface I'm a name on a list I try to be discreet, but then blow it again I've lost and found, it's my final mistake She's loving by proxy, no give and all take 'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times CHORUS It was a long hot night She made it easy, she made it feel right But now it's over, the moment is gone I followed my hands, not my head I know I was wrong CHORUS

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before my friend But I don't know if you know who I am Well, I was there and I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been It's all been a pack of lies And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord, oh lord Well I remember, I remember don't worry How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows It's no stranger to you or me And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord...

When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so very special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so very special I wish I was special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here She's running out again She's running She run, run, run, run, run Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so very special I wish I was special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't belong here

I've been alone with you inside my mind And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times I sometimes see you pass outside my door Hello, is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes I can see it in your smile You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide 'Cause you know just what to say And you know just what to do And I want to tell you so much, I love you... I long to see the sunlight in your hair And tell you time and time again how much I care Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow Hello, I've just got to let you know 'Cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you? Tell me how to win your heart For I haven't got a clue But let me start by saying, I love you... Hello, is it me you're looking for? 'Cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you? Tell me how to win your heart For I haven't got a clue But let me start by saying... I love you

These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arms Through these fields of destruction Baptisms of fire I've watched all your suffering As the battles raged higher And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But its written in the starlight And every line on your palm Were fools to make war On our brothers in arms
