Ah-ah-ah adventure very near and then you vanish
Rescue from invasion narrowly avoided
Have to live with nature, hear a voice from a novel
Love persuasion very near and then you vanish
Some say he's too handsome, some say he's unique
Steal the weave the night trick, aphrodisiac
Ah-ooh-ah the boy's herb, vanilla, vanilla

They say they'll never find him or evidence left behind
Flip a coin to decide it, is it now or never?
Have to live with nature, I hear a voice from a novel
Love persuasion, oh Orchidia
Steal the weave the night trick, weave the tale you find
Reappear in a vision, my heart's racing with the rhythm
Even in the drum-beat time will tell the story

Orchidia, Orchidia, Orchidia, Orchidia
Looking for adventure, here today gone tomorrow
Articles declaring evidence to follow
Heart is pumping to the rhythm
The story is repeated

Orchidia, Orchidia, Orchidia, Orchidia

Where are you? Where are you Orchidia? [Orchidia]
Where are you? Where are you Orchidia? [Orchidia]
Whoa-ooh-oh where are you Orchidia? [Orchidia]
Orchidia [Orchidia]

In Babylon on the boulevard of broken dreams
My will power at the lowest ebb
Oh what can I do?
Oh buccaneer can you help me put my truck in gear?
Can you take me far away from here?
Save my soul from sin

You wanna get away, you've had it man
Nothing's going right so come sit on the sands of the island
Island of Lost Souls
No luxuries, no, no amenities to dull your senses oh
Only primitive eh, ey, really get away is what he said

Where did he go? I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be? He's not with me
Where did he go? What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?

The sky is blue, the sea is warm and clear and golden sands
Are calling out to you inviting
Make a new man outta you
You can come for a while, come with a friend
Forget about work, start all over again
Let the real you through, here is what we do

Where did he go? I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be? He's not with me
Where did he go? What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh buccaneer can you help me put my truck in gear?
Can you take me far away from here?
Save my soul from sin
No luxuries, no, no amenities to dull your senses oh
Only primitive eh, ey, really get away
Island of Lost Souls

Get away from Babylon

On the boulevard
Oh-oh a tropical fever
Island, Island of Lost Souls
Oh-oh-oh

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen of Earth and all native intelligences of the forty planets with contestants entered in the annual Grande Trex, the only inter-universal race. This year's event promises excitement to surpass all previous races. As many of you fans know already the route or track of the race, orbits and glides has been increased by 5,000 million kilometres, thus enabling Grande Trex to include the B'Arc 15 system.

Dragonfly, dragonfly, satellite, strike and fight
laser light shot tonight, target nullified, gyro subdivide
Latitude, longitude, satellite, solid substitute
Dragonfly, arc revise

What's a drag race? Can't you see those dragons speeding up the street?
But I learned they weren't real, figments of the ancients' fear

Rapid scan radians for the chance to win the Grande
Manoeuvres, pre-program, windage won't operate
Negative bearing swell

Dragons fly, they symbolise in myth and saga breathing fire
Look up, there's one flying higher, faster than the SSC
Is science hiding witchery?

Grande Trex fans throughout the universe are well informed on the risks the pilots take in entering this race. Re-entry into some of the alien atmospheres is tricky business, which can cause a craft to implode, explode, melt, lose atomic structure and so forth, adding to the interstellar degree that is, on its own, a terrific danger to the ships en route. Surface craft are scheduled to launch at 0700.51 Greenwich Mean Time and are assembled on one of our very own stars in this year's event. And the excitement is at a fever pitch as the countdown approaches zero.

Dragonfly, rations glide, in free-fall slide, systems nullify
Satellite, Dragonfly, surface launch, radio silence
Hover high, level off

The time space tactics saved us then, display, report, present, urgent
Sequence counting surface launch, Dragonfly destroying all
Science claiming newest findings, chanting, calling flying dragons
All aboard, systems optimum, nova scheduled, war continued
Half the continental shelf burned by interval
Interval

We have retained as an added feature of daring thrills and excitement of this race, a feature which I'm sure you're going to like - the computer override lasting three and a half hours to two gens during which pilots and co-pilots manually control free-fall, latitude, longitude, protract gravity, revise dimensional equations, run program checks, submerge in the wild oceans of Jonrin 22 to photograph as much territory and terrain as they can, in addition to the requisite three thousand automatic shots. The postulate for mischance runs high but not as high as the tension and competitive spirit right here and all over the galaxies.

Dragonfly, Dragonfly, beacons aim, space game
Satellite, computerised, Dragonfly, hypersonic glide
Win the race, calibrate, re-entry place, fail safe

The countdown is -200 and I am turning you over to the control room at command central for the launch. Good luck to all the entrants and especially to our own ship Dragonfly!

Beacons, lasers, quasars, guns mounted on deck, rapid survey reactor, fail safe radians. Extra points awarded for city salvage delivered at the finish line [preferably retaining molecular identity].

Don't look over my shoulder, I'm trying to read
Remember these intimate moments, don't forget my privacy
We both have our orders and a trick up the sleeve
There's no use pretending you're asleep

The subject was roses, quine geology
Deliberate notice you're taking of me
Caution and danger are not family
Don't try turning the tables on me

Too long and too lonely
For your eyes only, secretly
Enjoy the paradox, you thinking I'm the fox
Can't you see, you personally?

So many people know who you are
And they know you've been looking for your counterpart
We're chasing an echo in sonic 3D
And if I laugh without joking, make believe

Too long and too lonely
For your eyes only, eternally
I like what you're showing
For your eyes only, secretly
For your eyes only

We want fun, we wanna run
We want fun, we gotta run
We want fun, get out among
The hottest clubs and find some love

Billions of people have heard of me
And everybody knows the sun rises in the east
Not too nice not too sweet, no one even talks to me
I shake the leaves right off the trees, I'm the bee's greasy knees
I shake 'em, I break 'em, I drop 'em from eight miles high
Alright

In the past my fate was cast, my social life was limited
To Halloween and New Year's Eve, monotony was killing me
Approaching schizophrenia I hit the hot spots every night
And, for the first time in my life, the bouncers would greet me
Doormen would escort me, managers adored me
Photographers would follow me begging for a smile Beast
Over here Beast, here Beast, the hat check always said to me
Hiya B, whatcha doin' later?

We want fun, we gotta run
If you find fun get out and run
You need fun for feeling fine
We want fun for feeling fine
And find the one

Now I'm not bragging, heaven knows I spend no more nights alone
Lucky me I'm ten foot three and freaky
My picture's been re-printed and interviews requested one hundred times a week
Believe it, I'm not talking through my teeth
Are you sure you got it? I mean it, to prove it, I'm in the news
It's true, it's true, check it out, check it out

He wants her love
She wants love

I take action, get relief, pick a partner, pick a piece
Get satisfaction, I am the Beast, I am the Beast

She wants fun
He wants her love

I get satisfaction, I pick up my feet
I'm the centre of attraction by staying off the streets

And I want love
Get some funk and get some fun
Punks like fun

I need city lights, defence and weaponry
No way of knowing my life expectancy
I learn resistance like I learn to see
A living witness, a lonely refugee

I'm a war child
I'm a war baby
And that's the difference between you and me
I'm a war child

My occupation is being occupied
I stop at the corner to be identified
Across the border they pretend victory
I'm playing in the rubble and dream of destiny

I'm a war child
I'm a war baby
And that's the difference between you and me
I'm a war child

Weren't discovered by the Khmer Rouge
We hear of the troubles on the nightly news
PLO lovers courting after curfew
Your father and brother have the West Bank blues

Weren't discovered by the Khmer Rouge
We hear of the troubles on the nightly news
PLO lovers courting after curfew
Your father and brother have the West Bank blues

I'm a war child
I'm a war baby
Oh-ooh-oh-ah-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-ooh-oh-ah-oh
I'm a war child
I'm a war baby
I'm a war child
Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-ooh-oh-ah-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh

My name is Little Caesar, my friends call me LC
My daddy's named the same and he passed it onto me
I'm the kinda guy who by and by who wants to be your friend
I'll make you a happy ending
I loop the loo
I do it good

I've been called a lot of names, some of them obscene
But you think I'm funny, wonder about me?
I don't worry anymore, get uptight or fear
Back in the days of funny funny they called me queer
They used to call me
They'd call me rudely

I'm a love 'em and leave 'em kinda fella, good time gentleman
Perform my magic for you then I'll make my plan
When I'm gone you'll feel so low, obsession outta hand
You'll find I'll linger in your mind
You can't forgive me, you won't forget me
You can't live with me, can't live without me
You'll find there's not enough and that you love too much
You can't live without me

You can't live with me, can't live without me
Just call me Caesar
You can't forgive me, you won't forget me
I'm Little Caesar
Yeah

Be my TV Guide in between the stations
Be my satellite, secret information
Stairway going one way to the subway
Waiting for the train
Take it to the runway

Journal in the Square fingers, in the hairdo
England in the air, Beatle in the bathroom
Highway going one way or another
Let's get in the car
Brooklyn Queens Expressway

Turning in the light, singing to the doorway
Standing on the side, listen to the subway
Highway going one way or another
Let's get in the car
Brooklyn Queens Expressway

Look up the right words, the ones for today
Use them correctly and mean what I say
Answer the questions, crossword confession
Interrogation

I'm down, can we meet? Is it true, do you cheat?
How far can I go? How much do you know?
How much did she mention? How much does she know?

Can I find the right words to say?
The right words are so hard to say

It's a challenger puzzle from the magazine section
Across with the questions, do the ethics of reference
One hundred twenty brain-teasers to torment you
One hundred thoughts

I can't find the right words to say
My meaning's not quite getting through
The right words are so hard to say
Can I find the right words for you?
Let's not hedge our bets 'cause the odds are dependant
Please listen instead, now the whispers are ending
The point's misleading as points often do
Can I find the right words for you?

When I was seventeen I saw a magazine
It had those English boys who had long hair
When I was on my own they moved into my town
And I'd just call them up and they'd be there

In 1969 I had a lousy time
I listened to the songs, read letters sent from 'Nam
Now peace and love were gone, the tired soldiers home
Ideal society gunned down the seventies

Does it feel the same to you?
Why do you act the way you do?
Pack it up or pack it in
There's no excuse
Could the hands of time reverse?
Would we wake or take the ride?
And again speak with one voice

We knew each other well although we never met
Messages passed to tell equal respect
Coincidence recurred, I had to laugh a lot
One week hung up superb, said maybe not

Does it feel the same to you?
Why do you act the way you do?
Pack it up or pack it in
There's no excuse
Could the hands of time reverse?
Would we wake or take the ride?
And again speak with one voice
Does it feel the same to you?
Why do you act the way you do?
Pack it up or pack it in
There's no excuse

Every day brings change and this old world puts on a new face
Certain things rearrange and this whole world seems like a new place

Secretly I've been tailing you like a fox that preys on a rabbit
I had to get you and so I knew I had to learn your ways and habits

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh you were the catch that I was after
I looked up and I was in your arms and I knew that I was captured

What's this whole world coming to?
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game
Whoa yeah

I had laid such a tender trap hoping you might fall into it
Love hit me with a sudden slap, one kiss and then I knew it

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh my plan didn't work out like I thought
I had laid my trap for you but it seems that I got caught

What's this whole world coming to?
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game
Whoa yeah, yeah-yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
