michael sembello - maniac
Just a steel town girl on a saturday night
Looking for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
Changing woman into life
She has danced into the danger zone
When a dancer becomes a dance
It can cut you like a knife,
If the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will
And what will be
She's a maniac,
Maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like
She's never danced before [2x]
On the ice-build iron sanity
Is a place most never see
It's a hard warm place of mystery,
Touch it, but can't hold it
You work all your life for that moment in time,
It could come or pass you by
It's a push of the world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
There's a cold connective heat,
Struggling, stretching for defeat
Never stopping with her
Head against the wind
She's a maniac,
Maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like
She's never danced before [2x]
...
It can cut you like a knife,
If the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will
And what will be
She's a maniac,
Maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like
She's never danced before [3x]
michael sembello - what you really want
It's the thrill of danger
It's the lure of a stranger
It's the game of opposites attract
It's the heart you can't touch
Or the love that's too much
It's the one you wish you could get back
What you really want, and what you really need
You've got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
What you really want, and what you really need
Will you ever see what might have been
From where you chose to be?
It's a wall you must climb
It's the words you can't find
It's a fear that only you can face
It's the one you sleep with
Or the one that you miss
It's the secret no one knows but you
What you really want, and what you really need
You've got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
What you really want, and what you really need
Will you ever see what might have been
From what you chose to be?
What you really want is what you really need
What you want, what you need
Will you ever see what might have been
From what you chose to be?
What you really want, and what you really need
You've got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
What you really want, and what you really need
Will you ever see what might have been
From where you chose to be?
What you really want, and what you really need
You've got fantasies, realities
And you got caught between
michael sembello - talk
Here we are at the end of trying
Looking out at the rest of our lives
We took the road to the end of romance
To the place broken hearts go to die...
(Chorus)
So we Talk and Talk and Talk about it
You don't ever hear me
So we Talk and Talk and Talk about it
It never came true for me...
Cruz:
The fire's gone, and my heart grows heavy
No more words no more reasons for why
Not a tear is there left for crying
Let these arms hold us close one last time...
(Chorus)
So we Talk and Talk and Talk about it
You don't ever hear me
So we Talk and Talk and Talk about it
It never came true for me...
I can feel all the desperation
As it all slips away
So far away...
This is more than a separation
Is it wrong, is it right?
We've opened up the door...
Cruz: But I'm afraid to fly
Michael: So am I...
(Chorus)
So we Talk and Talk and Talk about it
You don't ever hear me
So we Talk and Talk and Talk about it
It never came true for me...
Who do you blame when love has died?
(Chorus)
So we Talk and Talk and Talk about it
You don't ever hear me
So we Talk and Talk and Talk about it
It never came true for me...
michael sembello - heavy weather
In the news today
Heavy weather
Oh, I can remember
The skies were so blue
That lucky old moon I promised to you
Now it's gone lately
Something's happening
I don't understand
Oh, how come decembers
Are hotter than june?
And how come the flowers
Don't know when to bloom?
Something's wrong, people
Something's happening
Happening where we live
The rising smoke against
An endless sea of cars
As mother nature gets
Another senseless scar
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
The rain is falling harder each day
The faces keep changing
But the problem remains
Something's wrong, people
Right before our eyes
We've been hypnotized
The sound of silence
Broken by the sound of war
How can we heal
If we keep opening up the sore?
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
Will we ever hear the message? Read the signs?
Stop all this talking now, it's time to save our lives
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy
The road ahead keeps leading back again
The train we're on is coming to an end
Let's open up our eyes
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
