PAPER HEARTS (DANCING IN THE WIND)
Sunshine through my window while I lie here in bed
Your smell still on my pillow, you’re still in my head
One more cup of coffee, one more caffeine high
Remembering us together, both feeling so alive
I promise you that I’ll stop these foolish games
I promise you that I’m through with changing lanes
And all I promise to you, oh babe, I swear I’ll not rescind
‘Cause we’re like paper hearts dancing in the wind
You were sitting on your own the night your eyes met mine
I said a silent prayer that I would be your kind
They’re saying all around me, “That’s the way love goes.”
I know this time it’s different, no goodbyes just hello
I promise you that I’ll stop these foolish games
I promise you that I’m through with changing lanes
And all I promise to you, oh babe, I swear I’ll not rescind
‘Cause we’re like paper hearts dancing in the wind
‘Cause we’re like paper hearts dancing in the wind
HEARTBREAKER
Won’t you give me a clue? A number a sign? How do I reach you
Feeling grateful today for the things that I said, they were all true
Mariachi sing a song, a cheeky bom-bom. Pass the hat round
Grant the genius some space while she gives us a taste of how to be a clown.
Don’t you know? Don’t it show? That I’m trying to stand tall
But my eyes keep being drawn to your photo on the wall
Baby you’re a heartbreaker dancing on a moonraker
Flying above a skyscraper, dancing all around
In the corner a cartoonist drawing funnies of her life. Mark the spot with X
Listen to sex-hop with no one here to bop or sex-hop with
Get ready to pounce on the promises vowed. Negotiations.
How can you give me something you ain’t got. Fast retractions.
Don’t you know? Don’t it show? That I’m trying to stand tall
But my eyes keep being drawn to your photo on the wall
Baby you’re a heartbreaker dancing on a moonraker
Flying above a skyscraper, dancing all around
Trapped in this way in the Cité Soleil, a loveless jungle
Miami to LA, three thousand miles in a day. So tired I stumble
Let’s stay together for history’s sake, come on baby
Better the devil you know, you know, going your own way
Don’t you know? Don’t it show? That I’m trying to stand tall
But my eyes keep being drawn to your photo on the wall
Baby you’re a heartbreaker dancing on a moonraker
Flying above a skyscraper, dancing all around
Baby you’re a heartbreaker dancing on a moonraker
Flying above a skyscraper, dancing all around
[FOR C&C]
There’s a revolution going on but none of you may know it
Because it’s going on right here inside my head
I still know my right from wrong but just so you know it
I’m going to spend the day in bed
This feeling inside I can always justify
But it’s time for me to move on
To see what’s in store I’ll open this door
To hear the music play on the dancefloor
‘Cause I’m feeling so alive in so many ways
And I’m feeling the summer breeze kissing my face
And I’m feeling so alive in so many ways
And I’m thanking you for stopping me from going dead
Woke up today this early morn, humming Dylan’s tune
I know that I’m not lonesome ‘cause I have you
Excitement running in my blood about what may lie ahead
And tell the world it’s all brand new
This feeling inside I can always justify
But it’s time for me to move on
To see what’s in store I’ll open this door
To hear the music play on the dancefloor
‘Cause I’m feeling so alive in so many ways
And I’m feeling the summer breeze kissing my face
And I’m feeling so alive in so many ways
And I’m thanking you for stopping me from going dead
I know that the next time it’ll be alright
‘Cause I’m feeling so alive in so many ways
And I’m feeling the summer breeze kissing my face
THE AFTERNOON SHOW
They’re sitting in his beat-up car at the cinema, his nerves barely in control
He puts his arm around her shoulder and then he asks her, “Will you be my girl?”
She said, “Give me some time to think about it. You know, I doubt that my dog will understand.
He means the world to me. I don’t know how he’ll be now there’s another man.”
If you have a change of heart come join me on The Afternoon Show
Welcome to our life parade. We’re all freaks, everyone, don’t you know?
Next to the doorway of the Sunset i-Hop there’s a down-and-out pop ranting away
He’s taking a swig from his lager can. It’s 10am. It’s the third one he’s had today
If you have a change of heart come join me on The Afternoon Show
Welcome to our life parade. We’re all freaks, everyone, don’t you know?
Those of you with a get out pass, will it last for the rest of the day?
Oh you’re so normal you say. Get out of your way.
Don’t you know you’re just one of us? Get on the bus to The Afternoon Show
If you have a change of heart come join me on The Afternoon Show
Welcome to our life parade. We’re all freaks, everyone, don’t you know?
If you have a change of heart come join me on The Afternoon Show
Welcome to our life parade. We’re all freaks, everyone, don’t you know?
APART FROM YOU
Apart from you, nobody else will ever do.
I don’t want somebody new.
I need you. You here with me.
That’s what I wrote in my story.
But that was not meant to be.
I disagree.
I know that you’re flying up high in the sky
I don’t yet have wings. Tears roll from my eyes
I cannot see the light through the crack
What must I do to bring you back?
Apart from you, there is no meaning now to my life.
I said I’d be fine but I lied. It hurts inside.
A part of you I carry inside of my broken heart.
Can we go back to the start?
I’m begging you.
I know that you’re flying up high in the sky
I don’t yet have wings. Tears roll from my eyes
I cannot see the light through the crack
What must I do to bring you back?
I know that you’re flying up high in the sky
I don’t yet have wings. Tears roll from my eyes
I cannot see the light through the crack
What must I do to bring you back to me?
WHAT’S IT LIKE IN DENVER TODAY?
My bags are packed. I kiss my aunt goodbye. Hitchhike across the US of A.
I jump on the truck thinking to myself, “What’s it like in Denver today?”
New York City, my gal, my pride, I’m sorry but I just can’t stay.
I’m heading west. My feet are beat. What’s it like in Denver today?
I wonder what they’re talking about back east, oh yeah
Wish me well won’t you say a prayer for me, oh please
Twenty-four, I’m on the road, I’m on Route 6, I’m not missing home
Colorado, I’m on my way. What’s it like in Denver today?
Tell me baby, what’s it like in Denver today?
I stop at a diner in Illinois. I sat and had a burger and coke
And head back on that dusty road. I’m singing, “What’s it like in Denver today?”
I wonder what they’re talking about back east, oh yeah
Wish me well won’t you say a prayer for me, oh please
Twenty-four, I’m on the road, I’m on Route 6, I’m not missing home
Colorado, I’m on my way. What’s it like in Denver today?
I say, what’s it like in Denver today?
Colorado, I can see you now. How long is it going to take?
Your snow-capped peaks, my guide, my lead. Tell me what’s it like in Denver today
Tell me, tell me what’s it like in Denver today
I say, what’s it like in Denver today?
