Invisible touch |
Well I've been waiting, waiting here so long
But thinking nothing, nothing could go wrong, ooh now I know
She has a built-in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
She reaches in and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart
Well I don't really know her, I only know her name
But when she crawls under your skin
You're never quite the same, and now I know
She's got something you just can't trust
It's something mysterious
And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
She reaches in and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
She reaches in and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart
Well, she don't like losing, to her, it's still a game
And though she will mess up your life
You'll want her just the same, and now I know
She has a built-in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I've fallen, fallen for her
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
She reaches in and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
She seems to have an invisible touch, oh
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
She seems to have an invisible touch, oh
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
She seems to have an invisible touch, oh
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah
She seems to have an invisible touch, oh

Tonight, tonight, tonight |
I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey
But it's alright
Like a load on your back that you can't see
Ooh, but it's alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go
Just get it away from me, oh
'Cause tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
I'm gonna make it right

About ready to burn

You're gonna help me, but you don't
But now I'm in too deep
You see, it's got me so that I just can't sleep
Ooh, get me out of here
Please get me out of here
Just help me, I'll do anything, anything
If you'll just help, get me out of here
I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey

Land of confusion |
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
They're burning into the night
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go 'round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
This is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the hands we're given (Oh, oh, oh)
Use them and let's start trying (Oh, oh, oh)
To make it a place worth living in
Ooh, Superman, where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go 'round
Tell me why this is a land of confusion
This is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the hands we're given (Oh, oh, oh)
Use them and let's start trying (Oh, oh, oh)
To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago
Ooh, when the sun was shining
Yes, and the stars were bright all through the night
And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight
So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep
Too many men, there's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go 'round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
Now, this is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the hands we're given (Oh, oh, oh)
Use them and let's start trying (Oh, oh, oh)
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in (Oh, oh, oh)
And these are the names we're given (Oh, oh, oh)
Stand up and let's start showing (Oh, oh, oh)
Just where our lives are going to

In too deep |
All that time I was searching with nowhere to run to
It started me thinking
Wondering what I have could make of my life
And who'd be waiting
Asking all kinds of questions to myself
But never finding the answers
Crying at the top of my voice and no one listening
All this time, I still remember everything you said, ah-ha
There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget
Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this
You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps
Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this
You know I want to, but I'm in too deep
So listen, listen to me
Ooh, you must believe me
I can feel your eyes go through me
But I don't know why
Ooh, I know you're going, but I can't believe
It's the way that you're leaving
It's like we never knew each other at all
It may be my fault
I gave you too many reasons, being alone
When I didn't want to
I thought you'd always be there, I almost believed you
All this time, I still remember everything you said, oh-ho
There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget
Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this
You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps
Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this
You know I want to, but I'm in too deep
So listen, listen to me
I can feel your eyes go through me
It seems I've spent too long
Only thinking about myself, oh
Now I want to spend my life
Just caring about somebody else
Now listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this
You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps
Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this
You know I want to, but I'm in too deep
You know I love you, but I just can't take this
You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps
Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this
You know I want to, but I'm in too deep
(You know I love you, but I justâ¦)
You know I love you, but I just can't take this
(But I just can't take this)
You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps
(You know I love you)
Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this
(You know I love you)
You know I want to, but I'm in too deep
(You know I love you, girl)
You know I love you, but I just can't take this
(I can't take this)
You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps
Although I need you, I'm not gonna make thisâ¦

Anything she does |
You know
You decorate the garage walls
Hang in people's halls
Live in secret drawers
If you could look around you
Wonder what you'd see
Fiction
That's all you really are I know
Editorial dreams
They can't make you real
Tell me where you came from
And where you're going to
I won't ever no I'll never get to know her
Or be the cause of anything she does
I won't ever no I'll never get to hold her
Do you think this aching could be love?
You know
You've figured in some fantasies
You would not believe
What you've had to do
Life goes on around you
All because of you
I won't ever no I'll never get to know her
Or be the cause of anything she does
I won't ever no I'll never get to hold her
Do you think this aching could be love?
I won't ever no I'll never get to know her
Or be the cause of anything she does
I won't ever no I'll never get to hold her
Do you think this aching could be love?
You know
That in twenty years or more
You still look the same
As you do today
You'll still be a young girl
When I'm old and grey
I won't ever no I'll never get to know her
Or be the cause of anything she does
I won't ever no I'll never get to hold her
Do you think this aching could be love?
I won't ever no I'll never get to know her
Or be the cause of anything she does
I won't ever no I'll never get to hold her
Do you think this aching could be love?

Domino |
The grey of evening fills the room
There's no need to look outside
To see or feel the rain
Then I reach across to touch her
But I know that she's not there
Rain keeps running down the window pane
Time is running out for me
Can't you see what you are doing to me?
Can't you see what you have done?
As I try to pass another long and sleepless night
A hundred crazy voices call my name
As I try to pass them by
I almost can believe that she is here
Here in the glow of the night
Do you know what you have done?
Do you know what you've begun?
Do you see we shall never be together again?
All of my life
Lonely people, empty rooms
And all the pointless violence, silent tombs
Could it be that we shall be together again?
Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night
Only foreign city sirens can cut through
Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold
But they can't keep out the chilling sounds
Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming
That she is here with me?
Here in the glow of the night
Do you know what you have done?
Do you know what you've begun?
Do you see we shall never be together again?
All of my life
Lonely people, empty rooms
And all the pointless violence, silent tombs
Could it be that we shall be together again?
Could it be that we shall be together again?
In silence and darkness
We held each other near that night
We prayed it would last forever
Blood on the windows
Millions of ordinary people are there
They gaze at the scenery
They act as if it is perfectly clear
Take a look at the mountains
Take a look at the beautiful river of blood
The liquid surrounds me
I fight to rise from this river of hell
I stare 'round about me
And children are swimming and playing with boats
Their features are changing
Their bodies dissolve and I am alone
Now see what you've gone and done
Now see what you've gone and done
Well now you never did see such a terrible thing
As you've seen last night on the TV
Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it again
Such a terrible thing to see - oh
But there's nothing you can do when you're next in line
You've got to go, domino
Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine
I know just what I gotta do
Play the game of happiness and never let on
That it only lives on in a song - oh
Well there's nothing you can do when you're next in line
You've got to go, domino
Do you know what you have done?
And do you know what you've begun?
In silence and darkness
Hold each other near tonight
For will it last forever?
Will it last forever?
Forever?
There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line
You've got to go, domino
Do you know, do you know, do you know what you have done?
Do you see what you've begun?
'Cause there's nothing, nothing, nothing
There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do
Do you see, do you see what you have done?

Throwing it all away |
Need I say I love you?
Need I say I care?
Need I say that emotions
Are something we don't share?
I don't want to be sitting here
Trying to deceive you
'Cause you know I know baby
That I don't wanna go
We cannot live together
We cannot live apart
And that's the situation
I've known it from the start
Every time that I look at you
Well, I can see the future
'Cause you know I know babe
That I don't wanna go
Just throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Is there nothing that I can say
To make you change your mind?
I watch the world go 'round and 'round
And see mine turnin' upside down
Throwing it all away
Now who will light up the darkness?
And who will hold your hand?
Who will find you the answers
When you don't understand?
Why should I have to be the one
Who has to convince you?
'Cause you know I know baby
That I don't wanna go
Then some day you'll be sorry
Someday when you're free
Memories will remind you
That our love was meant to be
But late at night when you call my name
The only sound you'll hear
Is the sound of your voice calling
Calling after me
Just throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
And there's nothing that I can say
Hey...
We're throwing it all away
Yes, we're throwing it all away
Yes, we're throwing it all away
