1.Black Cars
Under the cover of night
She crawls into sight
Her skin is cold china white
She's a dark angel wearing dark glasses
Dark shadows under long false lashes
The night exposes the cracks
She wears her makeup like wax
To hide every scratch
'cause she a dark angel riding dark horses
Sitting pretty in her dim lit covers ... i say
Black cars look better in the shade
She smears her lipstick on right before she sleeps
For all those phantom lovers in her dreams
She smokes them french cigarettes
In cocktail gloves and a strapless dress
She cuts a perfect silhouette
But she's a dark angel wearing dark glasses
A fading beauty as the night time passes ... i say
Black cars look better in the shade
Black cars look better in the shade
2.The Other Man
An urgent call in the dead of night
A voice that whispers 'now'
A voice that trembles like a winter leaf
Before it hits the ground
She leaves a crack in the bedroom door
To slip the wire through
Her husband sleeping in a empty bed
No witness to the truth
It's a oneway conversation
I try to tell her no
But it's a hopeless situation
I just can't let her go
And here she is another desperate night
In the arms of the other man
Another day in a double life
Every moment that she holds me tight
I know just where i stand
As i am the other man
She leaves my room like a criminal
To beat the morning light
Rehearsing ever little alibi
To get it water tight
There's a note on the dresser top
It's the same old classic line
She says she's leaving him
It's just a question of time
It's a no win situation
'cause i just can't let her go
And here she is another desperate night
In the arms of the other man
Another day in a double life
Every moment that she holds me tight
I know just where i stand
As i am the other man
As i am the other man
As i am the other man
As i am the other man
3.It's Over
You go through the motions
Of a woman in love
Every kiss is a token
Every sigh is a bluff
Words confuse me but i see it in your eyes
You try not to show it
But any fool would know it
It's over .... it's over this love is ending
It's over .... it's over there's no use pretending
I see through your make up
You're not quite yourself
Don't you know that your games up
I know there's somebody else
You tell me i'm crazy and that i'm still the only one
Well maybe i'm dreaming
But i know what i'm feeling
It's over .... it's over this love is ending
It's over .... it's over there's no use pretending
You fake your way through the night time
But even your best is less than before
'cause you don't care anymore
You tell me i'm crazy and that i'm still the only one
Well maybe i'm dreaming
But i know what i'm feeling
It's over
It's over
It's over there's no use pretending
It's over
4.Here She Comes
Here she comes the ghost of venus de milo
A touch of madness streaks through her hair
She'll tear your heart with a poisonous arrow
She'll rob your soul if you look at her square
.......... do i dare?
Here she comes ..... such a beautiful sight
Here she comes ..... oh i wish that i might
Hear she comes the wildest cat in the jungle
A beast of beauty beyond compare
I watch the stalkers stalk but they stumble
The fools rush into vanity fair
............ but shes not there
Here she comes ..... such a beautiful sight
Here she comes ..... oh i wish that i might
And all the green eyed women
Swaying to the rhythm
Here she comes ..... such a beautiful sight
Here she comes ..... oh i wish that i might
Here she comes
Here she comes
5.Hurts To Be In Love
More and more
Your kiss is like a half opened door
I can't get in
You stop me just before i begin
And it hurts to be in love
When you never get enough
Oh it hurts to be in love
This endless urge
Keeps my body right on the verge
We touch and then
I wanna do it all over again
And it hurts to be in love
When you only want me half as much
I tell you it hurts to be in love
I'm always worried you think i'm pushing too hard
Oh baby it hurts me when you tell me i'm going to far
We touch and then
I wanna do it all over again
And it hurts to be in love
When you only want me half as much
I tell you it hurts to be in love
It hurts
Baby it hurts
It hurts
6.Total Stranger
Is anybody out there?
There's no knock on my door
No one comes anymore
To this island
Trapped on memory lane
Caught in yesturdays rain
In the silence
I have looked in your eye
Calling your name outloud
But you look right through me
Like a ghost in a crowd
Just like a total stranger
Behind those walls of stone
I've been a missing person
Location unknown
Living like a total stranger
A nowhere man
You see i couldn't get a listed number
Living in a now man's land
Well did you take me for dead
Did you know i still bled
With desire
Hey i'm talking to you
But the words don't come through
On this wire
I'm a voice in the dark
Crying out to the ghost
So i reach out my hand
Like a man overboard
Just like a total stranger
Behind those walls of stone
I've been a missing person
Location unknown
Living like a total stranger
A nowhere man
You see i couldn't get a listed number
Living in a no man's land
I'm a voice in the dark
Crying out to the ghost
So i reach out my hand
Like a man overboard
Just like a total stranger
Behind those walls of stone
I've been a missing person
Location unknown
Living like a total stranger
Does anybody understand
You see i couldn't get a listed number
Living in a no man's land
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there?
7.Just A Motion Away
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Ain't turnin' back for me and you
Don't look over your shoulder
No time for regrets
You got your demons i got mine
Our paths have crossed at a crucial time
Suddenly we're older
Scared of whats ahead
We were looking for the answers in all the wrong places
But now the chance is knocking on our door
To grab hold of what we been readin' for
It's just a motion away
It's just a motion away
It's just a motion away
No need to wonder where the future lies
It's right before our very eyes
Don't even think it over
Just say yes
We were clinging to some old cliches and old familar faces
But now they're only shattered dreams
So let's dry our eyes and start away clean
It's just a motion away
It's just a motion away
It's just a motion away
We were lookin' for the answers in all the wrong places
But now the chance is knocking on our door
To open up our aliing hearts once more
It's just a motion away
It's just a motion away
It's just a motion away
8.Imagination
I look at photographs of you
Sweat and shame till the sun comes through
I think of things i ought not to
I've hung your memory on the wall
A life-size portrait ten feet tall
I feel my skin begin to crawl
Suddenly i see you take a breath
And out of the cameras you come through
Is it you
Must be my imagination
Must be my imagination
Must be the shock waves of the moon
The entertainment of a lonely room
The devil playing that same old tune
'cause something strange is happening to me
Feel in the land of make believe
Please look me up and swallow the key
'cause i feel your fingers running through my hair
I feel the human touch of you
Must be my imagination
Must be my imagination
9.How Much
How many tears must i cry
Before your heart is satisfied
How many flames must i walk through
Before i make it up to you
I wanna ask now how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
Oh much does it have to hurt to make it right
I've been a fool i confess
But i know in your heart you love me no less
Just tell me how bad must my body ache
Before i live down my one mistake
I keep wonderin' how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
How much does it have to hurt to get back in your life
Just how much does it thrill you
To see me down on my knees
Don't you know i love you baby .... mercy please
I keep wonderin' how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
Oh how much does it have to hurt to make it right
I wanna make it right
I keep wonderin' how much
I keep wonderin' how much
How many tears must i cry
