When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure, a movie or a measure?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free

I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity, people stop and stare at me
We just walk on by, we just keep on dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free

Big feet walking a two-mile
Meet, meet, meet me at the turnstile
Never met him, I'll never forget him
Dream, dream, even for a little while
Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own, something you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free

Twenty-five tonnes of hardened steel rolls on no ordinary wheel
Inside the armoured car ride two big armed guards
In a bullet-proof vest, shatterproof glass
Overdrive, we're gonna pass
Twenty-five tonnes of hardened steel rolls on no ordinary wheel

The hardest part of the armoured guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel

Nitro and acetylene, open la machine
No short heist, no overnight, big money, take it to Brazil
Bullet-proof vest, shatterproof glass
Overdrive, we're gonna pass
Time bomb, greasy mob, count down, hurry up, come on

The hardest part of the armoured guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel

In a wire-mesh cage with a twelve gauge, radio, we're coming fast
I need to feel some hardened steel, deliver the big money deal

Of the armoured guard, here's what I heard
I'll tell you that he will no matter what you feel
The hardest part of the armoured guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel

Twenty-five tonnes of hardened steel rolls on no ordinary wheel

Oh-ho, oh-ho
What are we gonna do?
Union, union, union city blue

Tunnel to the other side
It becomes daylight
I say he's mine
Oh-oh-oh power, passion plays a double hand
Union, union, union city man

Arrive, climb up four flights
To the orange side
Rearrange my mind in turquoise
Union, union, union city blue
Skyline, passion, union city blue

Power, passion plays a double hand
Union, union, union city man
I say he's mine
I have a plan
I say he's my union city man

Oh-ho, oh-ho
What are we gonna do?
Union, union, union city blue
Oh-ho, oh-ho
What are we gonna do?
Union, union, union city blue
Oh-ho, oh-ho
What are we gonna do?
Union, union, union city blue

Shayla worked in a factory
She wasn't history
She's just a number
One day she gets her final pay and she goes far away
Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh

Green trees call to me
I am free but a life is so cheap
Scenery is still outside of me
All alone, trapped by its beauty

Shayla turned to run away
To leave in peace and end her stay
Years of fear were in her way
Lost in space and down she came

Suddenly some subtle entity, some cosmic energy, brushed her like shadows
Down here we stop to wonder
Cars on the freeway
Bright lights and thunder

Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh

Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh

Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh

You gotta jump up, ah to the beat, uh
A-s-s-stand up oh-on your feet, uh
A-toes are tippa-tippa-tippa-tapping
A-do you do it even when you're yapping?
Hey you got a sweet tooth and I remember
A-s-s-stand up oh-on your feet, uh
A-toes are tippa-tippa-tippa-tapping
Hey you got a sweet tooth and I remember
Sitting in the kitchen eating peanut butter
Eat to the beat

Yeah you gotta, gotta, you got the beat, uh
I see ya, see ya, a-picking meat up
I know you do it, I know you do it
I seen ya, seen ya, seen ya, seen ya chewing
Hey you got a sweet tooth and I remember
I see ya, see ya, a-picking meat up
I know you do it, I know you do it
Hey you got a sweet tooth and I remember
Standing on the corner with a piece of pizza
Eat to the beat

Condition Red!

You gotta jump up, ah to the beat, uh
A-s-s-stand up oh-on your feet, uh
A-toes are tippa-tippa-tippa-tapping
A-do you do it even when you're yapping?
Hey you got a sweet tooth and I remember
I see ya, see ya, a-picking meat up
I know you do it, I know you do it
Hey you got a tummy ache and I remember
Sitting in the bathroom drinking Alka Seltzer
Eat to the beat
Eat to the beat
Eat to the beat

No I don't believe in luck
No I don't believe in circumstance no more
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
So I won't believe in luck

I saw you walking in the dark
So I slipped behind your footsteps for a while
Caught you turning 'round the block
Fancy meeting in a smaller world
After all

Accidents never happen - could have planned it all
Precognition in my ears
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Complications disappear
Now you love me
I, yeah I can tell
I never lied, I never cried
And you, you knew so well

Like the Magi on the hill
I can divinate your presence from afar
And I'll follow you until
I can bring you to a perfect world
After all

Accidents never happen - could have planned it all
Precognition in my ears
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Complications disappear
Now you love me
I, yeah I can tell
I never lied, I never cried
And you, you knew so well

Now you love me
I, yeah I can tell
I never lied, I never cried
And you, you knew so well

Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Accidents never happen

Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty

Deteriorate in your own time
Tell 'em you're dead and wither away
Are you living alone or with your family?
A dried-up twig on your family tree?
Are you waiting for the reaper to arrive?
Just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth, love for youth, so
Die young and stay pretty

Leave only the best behind
Slipping sensibilities
Tragedy in your own dream

You sit down alone in your rocking chair
Transistor pressed against an ear
Are you waiting at the bus-stop all your life?
Just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth, love for youth, so
Live fast 'cause it won't last

Dearly near senility [Dearly near senility]
Was it good or maybe you won't tell

Die young and stay pretty
You got to live fast 'cause it won't last, no, no, no
Die young and stay pretty
Live fast 'cause it won't last, no, no
Die young, stay pretty
You got to live fast 'cause it won't last, no, no, no
Die young, die young, stay pretty
Live fast 'cause it won't last, no, no, no
Die young and stay pretty

What's all that commotion going on?
The boy in the back on his second attack wants his baby back [Wants his baby back]
What's all that commotion that you hear?
The girl in the back who was doing the quake got a belly ache [She can't concentrate]

Pick up the beat, you can move like you're made out of vapour
"Catch me if you can," is what she said with her hands
"Come on and take me back." [Come on and take me back]
When she gives you the beat and you get the shine
The world slows down and she stops on a dime
Got a number when you close your eyes like a real magician

Still you know she'll never slip away
Keep time in your head
Counting in your head

Slow motion
I can play with time
I can keep today but tomorrow's fine
Stop and look at the pictures rolling in your head
Slow motion
You can play with time
You can leave her today but tomorrow's fine
Stop and live in your dreams at night, rolling in your bed

Still you know she'll never slip away
Keep time in your head
Counting in your head

Slow motion
You can stop on a dime
Slow motion
You ought to try it some time
Take me back on another track
Take me back, take me back
Slow motion
You can pick up the beat
Slow motion
You can stop on the street
Take me back on another track
Take me back, take me back

Slow motion
You can stop on a dime
Slow motion
You ought to try it some time
Take me back on another track
Take me back, take me back
Slow motion
You can pick up the beat
Slow motion
You can stop on the street
Take me back on another track
Take me back, take me back

Ah-ha make me tonight
Tonight make it right
Ah-ha make me tonight
Tonight, tonight
Oh, ah-ha make it magnificent
Tonight, right, oh
Oh your hair is beautiful
Ah-ah-ah tonight
Atomic

Tonight make it magnificent
Tonight, make me tonight
Your hair is beautiful
Oh-whoa tonight
Atomic
Ah-ah atomic
Ah-ah
Ah-ah atomic
Ah-ah atomic
Ah-ah

Close your eyes and you will see micro flashing neon lights
Open your eyes and you will see it still looks like the same thing
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast for sleep
Close your eyes and you will see the sound-a-sleep

I want to go, I want to go, I want to go down and go to sleep
Your frame of reverence is my swimming pool
My, my swimming pool still looks like the China Sea
Pool to sea and finally the sound-a-sleep

Feel the muscles in your face twitch relax, remembering everything that went down
And will go down, I want to go down to sleep
Insomnia, no sleep disease, penny's parking, feed me please
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast for sleep

Oh, I don't you to go
Oh, please don't leave me alone
Oh

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

No, I don't want you to go
Oh, please don't leave me alone
Oh

Dear Annette,
Soon I'll be with you before they know, before the show. I'm not a whore, I dance no more. I'll be with you across the border, dearest Anastasia. I'm leaving soon. I'm sorry too but burn this letter, burn my picture. They won't know I've crossed the border.
Love, Victor.

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah [Ah-ah]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

Oh, I don't want you to go
Oh, don't leave me alone
Oh

Ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

[One, two, one, two, three, four!]

Every day you've got to wake up and disappear behind your make-up
Take away your calendar watch and you can't keep dragging 'til your heart attack
Hey I'm living in a magazine, page to page in my submarine
Hey now Cindy you can't get to me, you need an elevator, hey I'll see you later, 'cause

I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more, yeah

I can be whatever I want to, I talk to me, I even agree
Every day's a holiday, you can look through the glass and take a photograph
You will never ever walk on the moon, leave your body and float through the room
You could never conquer me 'cause I'm not here and you're not there and, and

I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more, yeah

Didn't I ever tell you I was gone?
Didn't I ever tell you I was gone?
Bye-bye!

I can do anything at all, I'm invisible and I'm twenty feet tall
Pull the plug on your digital clock and it all goes dark and then your body stops
Hey I'm living in a magazine, page to page in my teenage dream
Hey now Mary you can't follow me without a satellite, I'm on a power flight 'cause

I'm not living, I'm not living, I'm not living, I'm not living

I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
