1.Combat Zone

In every neighbourhood
There is bad and good
Money's tight, prices overblown
They sell ecstasy
Here on avenue b
One way ticket to the combat zone

The streets are fast and tough
And if you're tough enough
Chances are you can make it on your own
Life on overdrive
You could learn to survive
Livin' life in the combat zone

Chorus
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep your shoulder to the wheel
Keep your finger on the pulse
And you can make it
Keep your eye on the dice
Keep your back to the wall
One step ahead of the game
And you can make it

Here is the place, now is the time
It's up to you (get ready now)
You better be on your guard
Sometimes you're blind, you carry on
(business as usual)
How can we be so hard?

You can run away
Or, you can choose to stay
Either way, life can chill you to the bone
You know that golden rule
Don't be nobody's fool
Play it cool, in the combat zone

Chorus

Watch what you say
Watch what you do
It's up to you (get ready now)
They'll take you for a ride
Before you're bought and sold
Get it up
Get it under control (get ready now)
There's nowhere you can hide

Chorus

Can't people understand
There's a world at your command
Can't we trust one another?
What does it take to make you see
We share one destiny
And nothing lasts forever

Higher, this could be the vision
That we've both been dreamin of...

Higher, and so much brighter
Than the stars that shine above


2.Oo Wee Oh Me Oh My

Oo wee, oh gee, oh well
To be in love is swell

Your love alone is worth the price
To make me feel like it's paradise
You make my life so tender and sweet now
I'm yours alone, like a slave at your feet

Oo wee, oh gee, oh my
I'll love you 'til the day i die

Your love and mine will show the whole world
Just how much one boy can love one girl

Oo wee, oh gee, oh well
To be in love is swell
Oo wee, oh gee, oh my
I'll love you 'til the day i die


3.Perpetual Emotion

Emotion, perpetual emotion
Emotion, perpetual emotion (repeat)

Oo, you got me going
I can't stop, i
Climb the highest mountain
To the top, i
Go through fire for you
Swim the ocean
Wild with this blind devotion

Mama say, mama say, there'll be days
You gonna meet someone and somehow they
Are gonna take your heart and sail away
Set you in motion

Emotion, perpetual emotion (repeat)
Oo you do what you do, you do
Some kind of voodoo you
Call my name out low
And i come runnin' to you, you
Pull a string and set your puppet in motion
Love is the drug in your potion

So my love, i ask you to be kind
Though love is blind, my love
Don't leave my love behind
These things you do, my love
You know they put me through
So please be true, my love
And i'll be true to you

I have lived and loved and
I have learned that
Love can be so hot that
Love can burn, you
Give your love and love is not returned
It's gonna fill you up with crazy emotion


4.Remember(Walking In The Sand)

It seems like the other day
That my baby went away
Went away 'cross the sea
Seems like a year ago
Since i watched my baby go
And then this letter came to me
It said that we were through
You found somebody new
Lemme think, lemme think, what can i do?
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no
Remember...

Walkin' in the sand
Walkin' hand in hand
The night was so exciting
Your smile was so inviting
Then you touched my cheek
With your fingertips
Softly, softly we meet with our lips

Whatever happened to
The love that we once knew
The love you swore would be true?
Whatever happened to
The life i gave to you?
What can i do with it now?

I can make it on my own
And if you phone, i won't be home
It's not so hard to live alone
Still my house is not a home
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no
Remember...


5.Stepping Stone

Chorus
She don't love you
You're just a stepping stone
You're just a stepping stone
She's one girl to leave alone
She don't love you
You're just a stepping stone
You're just a stepping stone
Believe me, you're better on your own

The love you think you see
Deep in her eyes
Is filled with misery
Her love's a lie
She's just a woman
But before the main event
She may look like an angel
But she's far from heaven sent
(beware) you're just a decoy
(take care) to reel the bigger fish in
She'll treat you like a toy
She'll break you in the end
She's playing her own game
A game you can't win
You better, you better, you better, you better watch out boy
You better, you better, you better, you better watch out boy

Chorus

As soon as another guy
Catches her eye
You'll see what's lurking
Behind her disguise
She's an illusion
She's not really real
Boy don't you be fooled
By the joy that you feel


6.Take Me To Your Heart

Chorus:
Take me to your heart
Take me to your heart
Take me to your heart
Take me to your heart

Time after time
I tried to contact you
And time after time
I tried to be with you

But you won't...

Chorus

When i'm alone
I think you're near me
It's good to pretend
That you are with me

Why don't you...

Chorus


7.The Lion Sleeps Tonight

In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight

Near the village the peaceful village the lion sleeps tonight
Near the village the peaceful village the lion sleeps tonight

Hush my darling don't cry my darling the lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling don't fear my darling the lion sleeps tonight


8.The Stars Are Ours

Behold, the blue horizon line
We see orion rising
The stars are ours

The stars are ours tonight
They sparkle and shine so bright
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
The moon that's up in the sky
Is shining for you and i
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours

We've come a long way from andromeda
We've got a long way to go, i know, i know
Interplanetary wanderers
Like comets around the sun
We come and we go

The stars are ours tonight
They sparkle and shine so bright
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
The moon that's up in the sky
Is shining for you and i
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours

Relax, the galaxies dance and spin
To the music of the spheres
No charted course for the space that we're in
The stars are ours tonight, to light the years

The stars are ours tonight
They sparkle and shine so bright
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
The moon that's up in the sky
Is shining for you and i
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours

Behold the blue horizon line
We see orion rising
The stars are ours


9.This Boy

That boy took my love away
But he'll regret it some day
This boy wants you back again

That boy isn't good for you
Though he may want you too
This boy wants you back again

And this boy would be happy just to love
But oh my, that boy won't be happy
'til he sees you cry

This boy wouldn't mind the pain
Would always feel the same
If this boy gets you back again


10.Up On The Roof

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to take
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof's the only place i know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Up on the roof

When i get home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from that hustling crowd
And all that ratrace noise down in the street
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling you can share it all with me

I keep tellin' you that right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
And if this old world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Up on the roof
