hello, hello again

you might have forgot
the journey ends
you tied your knots
and you made your friends
you left the scene
without a trace
one hand on the ground
one hand in space

oh you passed on mercy
you tried the rest
you gave your body
you gave your best
stare at the green door
livin' in the sky
you don't wanna know it
you just want to fly

(hello) hello
(hello again)
uh-oo, mm-mm yeah
(hello) hello
(hello again)
hello, that's right

I know (I know you're a dreamer)
mm-mm, who's under the gun
I know (I know you're a dreamer)
who's only just begun

hello (hello)
(hello again)
mm-mm, I say
(hello) ello
(hello again)
yeah

oh when there's nothin'
nothin' left to lose
you leave it all
to fade to blue-ue, eah, yeah
[garbled chipmunks]

(you want to feel) electric
(you want to feel) loose
(you want to be) eclectic
you want to call a truce
(look [echo]) at the profile
staring at the flame
(wait [echo]) for the sunshine
standing in the rain

(hello) uh oh
(hello again)
I said hello (hello) hello
(hello again) hello again
I say hello (hello) ello
(hello again) hello again

(hello) uh oh
(hello again)
oo-oo
(hello)
mm-mm hello
(hello)
uh mm, I said hello-lo-lo-lo-lo
(hello)
(hello)

Summer, it turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It's like a merry-go-round

I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
The high shoes
With the cleats a-clicking
A temperamental glow

How could you let me go

Oh, I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
I've got a hold on you tonight

Oh, I got a hold on you
I got a hold on you
(Got a hold on you)
That's right

(Uh oh, it's magic)
When I'm with you
(Uh oh, it's magic)
Just a little magic
You know it's true
I got a hold on you

Oh, twisted
Under, sideways, down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down

I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Till you realize
There's magic in your eyes

I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you tonight

I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
(Got a hold on you)
Yeah, oh, yeah, oh

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Uh oh, when I'm with you
(Uh oh, it's magic)
Uh oh, it's magic

Just a little bit of
Magic pulls me through
I got a hold on you

I've got a hold on you
I got a hold on you
(I got a hold on you)
That's right, it's magic

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Uh oh, it's magic
When I'm with you

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Just a little magic
Inside of you

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Takes a little bit of magic
That's true
When I'm with you

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Gotta be magic
Your magic pulls me through

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late?
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great?

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong (what now?)
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall?
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call?

Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams?
And who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream?

You can't go on...
Thinking nothing's wrong (what now?)
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

(bye bye bye)
(bye bye bye)
(bye bye bye)
(bye bye bye)

Who's gonna hold you down
When you....(shake?)
Who's gonna come around
When you break?

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong (but now?)
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

Oh, you know you can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

(bye bye bye)
(bye bye bye)
(bye bye bye)

oh well uh you might think I'm crazy
to hang around with you
or maybe you think I'm lucky
to have somethin' to do
but I think that you're wild
inside me is some child

you might think I'm foolish
or maybe it's untrue
(you might think I'm crazy)
you might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
but all I want is you

you might think it's hysterical
but I know when you're weak
you think you're in the movies
and everything's so deep
but I think that you're wild
when you flash that fragile smile

you might think it's foolish
what ya put me through
(you might think I'm crazy)
you might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
all I want is you

and it was hard so hard to take
there's no escape without a scrape
but you kept it going till the sun fell down
you kept it going

oh well uh you might think I'm delirious
the way I run you down
but somewhere sometimes
when you're curious
I'll be back around
oh I think that you're wild
and so-o uniquely styled

you might think it's foolish
this chancy rendezvous
(you might think I'm crazy )
you might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
all I want is you-a-oo
all I want is you
(all I want is you)
all I want is you

a dreamy lips, set in motion, flashing
ah breathless hush, poundin' soft, lasting
oh glossy mouth, a taste untamed, moving
carousel, up and down
just like you

oh baby
just one more time to touch you
just one more time to tell you
you're on my mind
baby, why can't I have you?
you're breakin' my heart in two
you know what I'm goin' through
oh baby, why can't I have you?

Oh candy smile, all the while, glinting
your eyes like mica, a lethal pout, hinting
(felt the pressure)
oo and I felt the pressure, tight and warm, softly striking
(oo tripped and stumbled)
oo I tripped and stumbled
I cling forever
I go all night

oh baby
just one more time to touch you
just one more time to tell you
I'm not so blind
baby, why can't I have you?
always breakin' my heart in two
you know what I'm goin' through
uh oh baby, why can't I have you?

(baby) oh baby (why can't I have you?) why can't I have you?
you know what I'm goin' through
(you're breakin' my heart in two)
you're breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart
(you know what I'm gonna do)
(you're breakin' my heart) breakin' my heart
(baby) oh baby (why can't I have you?) I need you
(you know what I'm goin' through)
you're breakin' my heart (you're breakin' my heart in two)
oh baby, I need you so much, I need you, touch
(you know what I'm gonna do)
(you're breakin' my heart)
(baby) oh baby (why can't I have you?)
(you know what I'm goin' through)
[fade]

everything's heaven sent
that's what you said and went
inside your fairy glass
somethin' you think will last
and when they crop you like a clown
you got your smile on upside down

b-baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
find 'omebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

and everything's on a whim
that's what you said to him
lyin' in wunderlust
are feelings you never trust
and when they pamper you with ice
I can't believe you don't think twice

uh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

and everyone makes the play
with nothing left much to say
they're all in an endless line
waiting for equal time
they keep screaming it's the truth
and you keep kneelin' in the booth

oh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

oh, I do refuse
(I do refuse)
oh, you got nothin' to lose
(I do refuse)
find somebody else to use
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

I refuse
(I do refuse)
ah, oo-oo
(I do refuse)
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

I refuse
(I do refuse)
oo, oh got nothin' to lose
(I do refuse)
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
[fade]
