love is the speed. love is the speed of light it's all i need. love is the speed of light you can't exceed. joyous the sound. joyous the sound that fills my ears when you're around. joyous the sound that echoes through the canyons now. beauty's the sight. beauty's the sight of sunshine in your eyes tonight. love is the speed of light, the beauteous sight, the joyous sound, the god of love will make it now: love is the speed. love is the speed of light it's all i need. joyous the sound we've found resounding through the town. beauty's the sight of sunshine in your eyes tonight. goddess of love i gotta have your loving now. goddess of love i gotta have you naked now: love is the speed. love is the speed of light, the beauteous sight, the joyous sound, the god of love will make it now. goddess of love, i gotta have you naked now, the beauteous sight, the joyous sound, we'll make it now. (can't fake it now, we'll take it slow, we'll listen now, be patient now, we'll make it now) love is the speed. all that i need

they got everything they wanted and then some and still some were skeptical but all our friends and neighbors gathered to witness the spectacle: chariots of golden floating straight down seventh avenue coming for to carry me back home, back home to you and up in the heavens, down in the floor, i got your vibration shaking me like never before; i got all i need, and nothing more. if i had a plane, i'd spell out your name across the sky and if the wind should blow the letters away, well i don't mind: i looked up to you for so long, i went blind, lost my common sense but when i look at us from far away, it all makes sense 'cause up in the heavens, down in my core i got your vibration shaking me like never before i got all i need and nothing, i got all i want and nothing more

everybody likes a pretty girl. everybody wants someone who can't be his. they say there's more to life than pretty girls, but if there's more to life, i don't know what it is. i went along with every ruse that she played on me; she put me down to break my pride, still i waited so patiently to find a way to turn the light in her eyes on, to cut a key that eventually might open up that door. you know i never wanted anything more. every body likes a pretty girl, everybody loves it when you say you're his. i sent you postcards from the brink of insanity, wrote you song after stupid song, but you called it my vanity. and if desire is the root of my suffering, i never want to want again. i'll want nothing at all, except for sitting here just waiting for the call

first i will ask myself what i will be and then what i must do. keeping the silence in my heart i know there is no word for truth. we can be free from desire and woe! if we learn how to learn, we can know how to know! or we can be trapped in samsara and sin; the only way out is in. craving the answer to a problem that our logic keeps concealed, slaving away until the moment at which all will be revealed. we can be free from the shackles that bind! the useless restraints that we place on our minds! or we can be trapped in samsara and sin; the only way out is in. death is a friend, the great advisor, keeps my lies from taking root. keeping the void inside my heart i know there is no word for truth. no way to escape! there's no place you can hide! but if you know where you're going, then the world steps aside. you'll see me again in samsara and sin. the only way out is in

Lost 04:24
lost without your love, i wish i could hold you, scold you for leaving me and then laugh it off. oh so many things i wish i could tell you, and i'm wishing you well too wherever you are, anywhere you are. all mixed up in pain and pleasure, brace myself for stormy weather; oh, why'd you have to go? why'd you have to go? ah, well it's alright babe, i think i know. here's my heart of hearts; i'm so glad that it's broken 'cause now it's wide open and ready for love from the sky above. deep down in my dreams you'll always be near me and i know you can hear me wherever you are, everywhere you are (anywhere you are, there you are) sorrow calls for celebration, chalk it up to initiation; oh, why'd you hurt me so? why'd you have to go? ah, well, it's alright babe, i think i know

Heartstrong 04:25
i want an eye with which i can see all my lies from outside looking in and when i meet myself on the street like a stranger can this is what i will say to the man: if you're heartstrong, there's no way to be lovelorn 'cause it's always around you in the air that you breathe in the morning sunshine surrounds you, shedding light on the hard truths and i know that i can't lose, 'cause i know that i don't need to see you to be you. i want to die before i die, want to say goodbye to the mind i call mine and when i wake from the dream i will scream and sing out the name of the king that i claim: i'll turn sorrows into pleasures, take all my trials, and turn 'em in to treasures; he who giveth is he who taketh, maketh and breaketh, never doth forsaketh i. i will keep my finger pointed at the sky. i will smile at things that used to make me cry. you bore me naked and that's how i'm gonna

am i wrong for wanting what i want from you? i only see you in passing when i'm passing through but in my time there's only been a few who can make me feel as nervous as you do. am i wrong for dreaming random dreams of you? they screen your films on my eyelids nights at twelve and two, but in my time there's only been a few who can kidnap my subconscious like you do

love is like a line and i walk it everyday, trying to stay the straight and narrow, shooting straight as an arrow. i flew across the sky just to be right by your side. on the 9th floor of a high rise we were staring out at blue skies. it's high time to forgive her, it's high tide on hudson river, and i want to stand and deliver, and deliver. love is like a line and it's slicing through my mind, reconciling all illusion, shining through clouds of confusion. what were we thinkin' of, "falling in and out of love?" when there can be no escaping. it's for the sending and the taking. no reason to regret it, only hurts for as long as you let it. it's right there so go out and get it. go out and get it! love is like a line, and we'll follow it in time. it will lead us to each other, and annihilate the other ("the other") wouldn't you agree: i am you and you are me. if division is depicted, then the truth is contradicted. i know you can forgive me and i know our love outlives me in the hearts of all who hear me: love outlive me
9.
tonight i saw your face in the crowd. i wanted to scream out loud, i had to stop and remember myself: the joy in my heart is so sincere and though it's been four long years since you left to remember yourself, no one can take my love from me. erase the sky and drain the sea: no one can take my love from me. if we met like strangers on the street i would fall at your feet, forgive and forget, and remember myself. now i see your face in the sun, i see you in everyone and i stop to remember myself: no one can take my love from me, i'll give it all away for free. no one can take my love from me

Liberty Bell 07:04
mama had me in the suburbs, but i was born for the country. believe it it you want to, but i was born before you met me and i'm not gonna die if you leave. i've been waking up at sunrise trying to catch the morning after. floating up above it, my head's up in the rafters and i'm not gonna die if you leave because i patched the crack in the liberty bell and rang it. wrote me a song to remember you by and sang it once or twice but now i'm done. now i'm done
