I watched you to fly away today
You held me close and turned away
And
you were gone
I said I couldn't understand
Why you need a foreign land
What's wrong with home?
I need to breathe
Need to see what this life's got in store for me
Take a chance while I can
Not one also ran
Chorus:
I'm on a flight and its taking me closer
Home to a heart that's been
left for so long
Time is all that holds me now
And the days have come
and gone while I have flown
I'm coming home
I've read your letters, heard of your success
Does that mean happiness?
Yes or no?
Temptation that lay across your path
Is it to much to ask to
think of me?
I had to fight to be right
There was never a champion for me
Knights
in armour don't exist
It's been such a risk
Repeat chorus two times
I'm on a flight and its taking me closer
Home to a heart that's been left
for so long
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm on a flight
It's tragic--keeps on happening all the time
It's the kind of thing that I
fear
I feel I'm making no headway
Walls I know are starting to
disappear
It's like they'd never existed, strange but true
As sure as I'm talking to
you
Now you see it, now I don't want to frighten you
But I'm simply
here standing alone
Chorus I:
Trapped in these shadows that belong to missing persons
Names faded
from memory join the list and then mark time
Once I would have been glad to
have made your acquaintance
Now I feel a danger brought about by
circumstance
Obsessed, the quality of life escapes me now
It's one of the things I lack
From the east and to the west
I feel it's time that I was heading back
I can't control these feelings that I have
I've never been one to hide
Become a pillar of society
But don't let your morals slide
Chorus II:
Or you can find that you've become a missing person
A here today gone
tomorrow breeze and lost in the night
Once I would have been glad to have
made your acquaintance
Now I feel a danger brought about by circumstance
But I know in the end, I'll be safe, we'll be happy
After finding myself
we'll be fine
Any problems we have will be gone in a moment
I'll
become just a state of the mind
I want you close
I need you near
You have to be here
I turned
around
You've gone again
Chorus I
Chorus II
Nothing to say
I see your face
Memories haunt me again
They'll
always remain
Time spent, time that was lost
In love we all count the cost
I
remember days that we spent together
Seem so far away
Chorus:
In time I may forget you
Or you may remember me
Till then I'll be
living but lonely
Each face a stranger to me
For no other locked in
another Chagrin Boulevard day
Watching the rain
My friend, once again
I stand in this room where we
lay
Was it just yesterday?
Looking down to the street
At people embrace as they meet
I remember
love that we shared together
Now you're far away
Chorus
There's room for no other
I'll not spend another Chagrin Boulevard day
I miss you so much
Since you went away
Repeat first four lines of chorus three times
Deep in the past there lived a man whose story must be told
Of royal
descent but not of the royal line, oh oh
No history book relates this night of indiscretion
Into the world he's
brought, never to be presented at court
In his mind a king though his
mother wasn't wearing a ring
She keeps on saying:
Chorus I:
"What they gonna do with Richard, Richard The Ninth?
You know he's
my son, and the thought of it cuts like a knife
To think he'll ever sit
upon the throne
A prince without a home
What we gonna do with Richard,
Richard The Ninth
The least that we could do is to provide for his life
No
job could have a stranger pedigree
He means so much to me!"
As Richard grew, he won the hearts of all the people
His father reigned,
and while the servants poured, wo-oh
The lady waits and watches with anticipation
Ways of the world he's taught
The eyes of the queen he has caught
Midnight matinees soon become the
order of play
She keeps on saying:
Chorus II:
"What we gonna do with Richard, Richard The Ninth?
You know he's
my son and the daughter, the queen, is his wife
Becomes the answer to my
fantasy
He means the world to me"
"What we gonna do with Richard, Richard The Ninth?
It seems a
night of love, in the end turned out right
One day I know he'll sit upon
the throne
A prince no more alone"
This classic tale of woe
Should tell you all you want to know
A page
from our history
It's meant so much to me, to me
Chorus I
Chorus II
Repeat to fade
Here in the spotlight cold air tonight, I'm giving all for you
Days pass
quickly, hope that you'll miss me when the show is through
The entertainer's no stranger, she only lives to play
The distance
between us is only a note or two away
Travel to places, fill all the spaces in everybody's lives
Don't show
the pressure, try not to measure how you feel inside
The entertainer's no stranger, she only lives to play
The distance
between us is only a note or two away
We sing with one voice
There's no choice so join us
We're singing
for you
Time and again in the circus of sound
Leaving the stage and the
people behind us
Music calls--come and see, come and see, come and see
We sing with one voice
There's no choice so join us
We're singing
for you
Time and again in the circus of sound
You've found something
that's new
Travel to places, fill all the spaces in everyone's life
Don't show the pressure, try not to measure ...
Leaving the stage and the people behind us
Music calls--come and see, come
and see, come and see, come and see
Brought up and lived by the modern age
Brought a new spot to my life
I
love the power you have over me
Amaze my friends and set me free
Here we are walking in step
We've got ideas that we haven't used yet
There's so much left that I want to do
Automatically I think of you
Chorus:
You beginning and you to end
You were the first you never bend
You
walk beside me everywhere I go
Our secret's safe they'll never know
But here we are walking on down Electric avenue
Part of today in every way
Electric avenue
I'm insecure and I'm not so sure
Cause you mean this much to me
Your
heart is cold and you won't grow old
I'm full of tricks so watch and see
I can disappear without a trace
Just say the word I'll be gone from
this place
There's so much left that I want to do
I'm automatic that I
think of you
Chorus
Repeat first four lines of chorus four times
Day by day I'm feeling the need
To search to find
Hear the voices
speaking to me
They're in my mind
It's Majik, it's tragic
What is happening to me?
Another no name tragedy
Majik (can't you
understand)
Majik (the children are close at hand)
Once so long ago I'd explain
Each feeling clear
Now the thoughts they
dance and they weave
To disappear
It's Majik, it's tragic
What is happening to me?
Another lost game lost to me
Majik (have the
rights to resist)
Majik (before it takes to the wrist)
Surround yourself in a cloak of stars
This must be heaven
You've held
to answer the early hours
They have been given to you
What is happening to me?
Another lost game lost to me
What is
happening to me?
Lost in twilight memories
Majik (now your life's in a
test)
Majik (feel your voice in a fist)
What is happening to me?
Another lost game lost to me
What is
happening to me?
Another no name tragedy
What is happening to me?
Hear the voice I speak to me
What is happening to me?
Lost in twilight
memories
What is happening to me?
The Majik surrounds all I see
What is happening to me?
Another no name tragedy
What is happening to
me?
Another lost game lost to me ...
Distant horizons you're surprising me
See how you've changed in your fight
to be free
Political intervention
Is something we shouldn't mention
But I've seen your face on every screen
And it's looking at me
You used to be so close
I could have touched your hand
I see your
picture now
And you've become a no-man's land
I long to visit you
But now it seems too late
Don't let these
modern times
Make you one more mistake
Take my heart, take my soul
You've captured all of me
If you can't let
me go
Then live in peace and set me free
Distant horizons you're surprising me
Political intervention
Is something we shouldn't mention
But I've seen
your face on every screen
And it's looking at me
You're reaching out to me
I hide inside your smile
It's time for us to
love
But we must wait a while
I long to visit you
And there live out my fate
Don't let these
lying eyes
Lead you to hesitate
Take my heart, take my soul
You've captured all of me
If you can't let
me go
Then live in peace and set me free
Distant horizons you're surprising me
See how you've changed in your fight
to be free
Distant horizons you're surprising me
If you can't let me go, in peace let
me be
Political intervention
Is something we shouldn't mention
But I've seen
your face on every screen
And it's looking at me
Capturing me, looking
at me, capturing me
Hour by hour I feel the tension mounting
Pretty soon now I'll be on my way
People meeting, greeting, leaving, meaning
Everything they say
Start to move, feel closer now
I walk along the corridors of power
Orient Express, life to excess
There's so much to see, and it's waiting
for me
Out threre, I care, I dare
Through a country that you've only heard of
Through the valleys, feel the
pressure drop
Onwards moving 'til you see the mountains
Feel your
heart may stop
Day and night feel closer now
I walk along these corridors of power
Orient Express, built to impress
There's so much to see, and you set me
free
Out here, feel near, to fear
Six o'clock in the morning--I'm yawning
Get out of this bed
My heart
started racing--now pacing
What was that you said?
Waiting so long for this day
And tomorrow we laugh
Hope the
neighbours will open their papers
To my photograph
Chorus:
Of course I love you!
And I'll be careful, oh so careful
But I must
win
There's no use waiting--watching, waiting
Got to keep my
five-star rating, too
Now I run like the devil, draw level
You're crowding my day
Your
concentration gives me stimulation
Get out of my way!
Feel the air
rush past my face in first place, without thought to me
Mass attention
becomes an extension of winning to me
Chorus
In control, speed kills, speed thrills
We are the power--come closer
Black and white soon in my time
The winning course--it's over
The
winning course--take over
The winning course--it's up to me
[Instrumental bridge]
Now I run like the devil, draw level
You're crowding my day
Your
concentration gives me stimulation
Get out of my way!
Chorus
