You gotta save your city
Don't let it fall
Don't let it change your life
Cause it's a pity if you're lettin' someone come and steal your wife
And he thinks she's still pretty

Save your city
Fight for your belief
Don't let them change your side
Or pay you off with money, honey
I ain't foolin', I'm gonna change my city

Two time losers, save yourselves
The fourth time's gonna give you up, if you let it
I just tell it, tell it on passin' by
Can you tell me the way to the terrible city, baby, in the sky?
To Paradise Ballroom
Paradise Ballroom

Fallen city from a rock to a pebble
That's how you smash my frills
Not a bird, there's nowhere to land, it has to take to the hills
You've had your cake and you'd better eat it

Fallen lovers
So sad to see you gamble with your lives
You've had your bellies filled with card games and all those fights
It's about time you choose right

Don't you know you gotta save your city
Don't let it fall
Don't let it change your life
'Cause it's a pity if you're lettin' someone come and steal your wife
And you think she's still pretty

Fallen lovers
So sad to see you gamble with your lives
You've had your bellies filled with card games and all those fights
It's about time you choose right
It's about time you choose right
It's about time you choose right
To save your city, yeah

Paradise Ballroom, where are you today?
The tension of my evenings
I thought they were great
So pray for the people
I still get off for free
At the Paradise Ballroom, my friends and me

Paradise Ballroom

Human

I wanna be the one
Don't wanna be the two
I wanna be the lover
Don't wanna be a fool
No, no

Ain't gonna be your steppin' stone
You can't walk on me
'Cause I'm only human
'Cause I'm only human
'Cause I'm only human, you see

Don't laugh about my face
'Cause I found mine in space
And you found yours in a fancy dress parade
Ooooo...what a move, smooth as cream, yeah
She ain't nuthin' like I ever seen
But she's only human
Yes, she's only human
You know, she's only human, to me

Some say she's as cold as ice
Better leave her, get smart, get wise
But I cannot hear their cries
Humiliation I can stand
When only I take her by the hand
'Cause she's only human,
'Cause she's only human,
'Cause she's only human, to me

'Cause she's only human,
No, she's only human,
'Cause she's only human, yeah, to me

Everybody Needs Somebody

Everybody needs somebody to love, to love
Everybody needs some time to love, to love
And do a bit o' dancin'
And a bit o' romancin'
And take the chances of love

I say, everybody needs somebody to love, to love
I need love

Everybody needs somebody to love, to love
Everybody needs some time to love, to love
I need love

Everybody, everybody, everybody
Needs love, needs love, needs love

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
Needs love, needs love, needs love.

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
Needs love, needs love, needs love.

She said: Don't let your worries lock away your mind, boy
Lock away your worries andcome inside...of me
If you take away the love here
You take away the sun there

All is fair in love
Sign from the Lord above
Come on lemme give you my love tonight
Your sweet love...sweet love

You gotta see the other side of it, boy
What's gonna happen to her another day
It's just the world of make believe
So make believe you're mine, that's right

All is fair in love
Sign from the Lord above
Can't get enough of your sweet love, tonight
Alright...sweet love...hot love
Put it up, let it down, put it up

You can do it, if you try
Come on baby, come inside
Get on up, get on up, get on up

Don't let your worries block away your mind, boy
Lock away your worries and come inside...of me
If you take away the love there
You take away the sun over there and over there and everywhere

Can't get enough of your sweet love, tonight
Alright...loosen up...do you need me?

All is fair in love

You gotta make it
Gotta make it

All is fair in love

Down, Down, Down

Down, down, down is the mood I'm in
Since you've been away
Lost in the world, my stomach's sick with pain
I can't stand the day

To be in love, it's just a phase I'm goin' through
'Cause I still love you
Ooo...you tore me down so bad
To your friends, I know
You forgot the good times, girl
The time will show

To be apart, it's just a phase we're goin' through
'Cause I still love you

You say you wanna leave, run with the wind
Movin' on, baby, ain't no sin
But what about the love you had for me
It just can't fade away

To stay in one place and watch something grow
Is a feelin' you ain't never gonna know
If you stay away from me
Oooooo...don't stay away from me

Don't stay away from me
When I see you walkin' by,
The shadows in your eyes just say it all

Down, down, down is the mood I'm in
Since you've been away
Lost in the world, my stomach's sick with pain
I can't stand the day

To be in love, it's just a phase I'm goin' through
'Cause I still love you
To be in love, it's just a phase I'm goin' through
'Cause I still love you
To be in love, it's just a phase I'm goin' through
'Cause I still love you

To be in love, it's just a phase I'm goin' through
I'm in love with you

In The Night Of The Light

Take a look at my face
You seen it so many times
Across the Chicago state line
Reflected in a bottle of wine

I'm takin' a chance on the night
Restless moon's a-dancin' in the sky
And the beauty's runnin' through my eyes
In the light of the night

You're as young as the hills
Timeless rivers runnin' through your eyes
And your beauty is-a no disguise
In the light of the night

I took a look at your face
I've seen it so many times
Across the Chicago state line
Reflected in a bottle of wine

Take a look at my face
You've seen it so many times
Across the Chicago state line
Reflected in a bottle of wine

I'm takin' a chance on the night
Restless moon's a-dancin' in the sky
And the beauty's runnin' through my eyes
In the night of the light

In the night of the light
In the night of the light
In the night of the light...light...light

Caroline

Sweet Caroline
Left you on your own in a broken down old room
With my sweat on the steps and my mind full of debts
Now I wanna pay back all my dues to
Sweet Caroline

Caroline...Caroline...Caroline
Sweet Caroline

Take me back this time
Hell, it's gettin colder than ever
And the free joints are low
And even buskin' don't show me a livin' anymore
Sweet Caroline

Ahhhh... layin' under a cluster of stars for a blanket was fine once
Ahhhh... and sleepin' in shelters with my friends and a bottle of wine once
Ahhhh... but when winter the sets in, Caroline, I'm cold
And I wanna go home

Yes, I miss your crazy love
On a warm night
Close to me
Oooo baby
I'm comin' home to you Caroline

I miss your crazy love
On a warm night
Close to me

Oh Sweet Caroline
Sweet, sweet lover of mine
Caroline, baby

I'm comin' home to you
I'll bring it on home to you
I'm bringin' it on home...yeah

Caroline ...

Be My Eyes

Travellin' along on a beam of light
Lookin' for friends who will be on my side and tell me no lies.
Travellin' along holdin' hands with faith
Searchin' out places darker than night skies
And, a deeper than love lies

So hard to see
Will you be my eyes?

Travellin' along with a dream of a voyage
I'm hoping to find a lost city and new world that I must see
Look here, my friend, see me tremble with fear
I've lost all companions, stay close as we coast
Through a lifetime of journeys an endless sea
My companion, the voyage, and me

Be my eyes

Travellin' along on a beam of light
Lookin' for friends who will be on my side and tell me no lies
Travellin' along holding hands with faith
Searchin' out places darker than night skies
And-a deeper than love lies

So hard to see
Will you be my eyes?
So hard to see
Will you be my eyes?
So hard to see
Will you be my eyes?
