Nothin’ in your pocket, something up your sleeve
You look right up my alley, coming down my street
The gun goes off at midnight, whistle blows at dawn
Give me half the morning and we’ll carry on
Straight from your hip, make a backbone slip
Right in front of my eyes like a sweet surprise – hey hey hey-yeah
Bet you’re gonna find a little foolin’ on your mind
Soon you’re gonna feel a little tuggin’ on your line
Bet you’re gonna be a little nervous boy
Run for cover and jump for joy
You make me happy without even trying,
You make me happy every time, oh yeah
Gotta roll with the punch, stagger with the kiss
Follow what you feel on a night like this
Gotta raise up your flag, holler in the street
Someone’s throwing roses all around your feet
Straight from your lips, you’re gonna let it slip
It’s there in your eyes so don’t apologize – hey hey hey-yeah
Bet you’re gonna find a little foolin’ on your mind
Soon you’re gonna feel a little tuggin’ on your line
Bet you’re gonna be a little nervous boy
Run for cover and jump for joy
You make me happy without even trying,
You make me happy every time, oh yeah
Hey hey hey-yeah
Bet you’re gonna find a little foolin’ on your mind
Soon you’re gonna feel a little tuggin’ on your line
Bet you’re gonna be a little nervous boy, oh
You make me happy every time,
You make me happy without even trying
You make me happy every time, oh yeah…
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION PARTIES:
The sun goes down the night rolls in
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up and the music calls
You’re getting tired of staring at the same four walls
You’re out of your room and down on the street
You can feel the crowds in the midnight heat
The traffic roars the sirens scream
Look at the faces it’s just like a dream
Nobody knows where you’re going
Nobody cares where you’ve been
‘Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It’s in your moves, it’s in your blood
You’re a man of the street
When you said goodbye you were on the run
Tryin’ to get away from the things you’d done
Now you’re back again and you’re feeling strange
So much has happened but nothing has changed
Still don’t know where you’re going
You’re still just a face in the crowd
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It’s in your blood, it’s in your moves
For a man of the streets
You can feel it
You can taste it
You can see it
You can face it
You can hear it
You’re getting near it
You’re wanna make it
‘Cause you can take it
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
You belong
You belong
[Verse]
The waves are pounding on the sand tonight
I want to take your hand and make it feel so right
I know I’m ready and I’ll never be like this again
And the sky is trembling and the moon is pale
We’re on the edge of forever and we’re never gonna fail
I know you’re ready and we’re running on the back of the wind
[Chorus]
And my body is burning like a naked wire
I wanna turn on the juice, I wanna fall in the fire
I’m gonna drown in the ocean and the bottomless sea
I wanna give you what I’m hoping you’ll be giving to me
And when the waves are pounding on the sand tonight
I wanna take your hand and make it good and make it right
And now the sky is trembling, and the moon is pale
We’re on the edge of forever and we’re never gonna fail, no!
How hard
How hard
How hard do I gotta try?
Surf’s up
Surf’s up
Surf’s up and so am I
Surf’s up
And so am I

Out the box, outta line (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
‘Cause I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don’t care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me

Out there
There’s a world outside of Yonkers
Way out there beyond this hick town Barnaby
There’s a slick town Barnaby
Out there
Full of shine and full of sparkle
Close your eyes and see it glisten Barnaby
Listen Barnaby
Put on your Sunday clothes
There’s lots of world out there
Get out the brillantine and dime cigars
We’re gonna find adventure in the evening air
Girls in white in a perfumed night
Where the lights are bright as the stars
Put on your Sunday clothes
We’re gonna ride through town
In one of those new horse drawn open cars
We’ll see the shows at Delmonicos
And we’ll close the town in a whirl
And we won’t come home until we’ve kissed a girl
We’re in the building
Where they make us grow
And I’m frightened by
The liquid engineers
Like you.
My Mallory heart
Is sure to fail
I could crawl around the floor
Just like I’m real
Like you.
The sound of metal
I want to be
You
I could learn to be a man
Like you.
Plug me in
And turn me on
Oh everything is moving.
I need my treatment
It’s tomorrow they send me
Singing ‘I am an American’.
Do you?
Picture this
If I could make the change
I’d love to pull the wires from the wall
Did you?
And who are you
And how can I try
Here inside I like metal
Aren’t you
All I know
Is no-one dies
I’m still confusing love with need.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION NIGHTS:
It’s a wonder
Wonder woman
You’re so wild
And wonderful
‘Cause it seems whenever
We’re together
The planets all stand still
Barbarella, psychedelia
There’s a kind of cockleshell about you
(Barbarella, ba-Barbarella)
Mmm, dazzle me with rainbow colors
Fade away the duller shade of living
Get me up high (High)
Teach me to fly (Fly)
Electrify (Electrify my night)
My night, with starry light
Above the stratosphere
Bring your dearness near
‘Til the dawn comes tumbling down
(Don’t make a sound, shh)
Every word we need comes
From the skies
Can’t you read my eyes
Saying “love”?
[Bridge 2]
Whoa, you give me a cold shoulder
Still I’m dying, girl, to hold ya
And make love
Love (Ba-ba, ba-bow!)
Barbarella, psychedelia
Never can a fella name or clone you
Barbarella, ba-Barbarella
Barbarella, ba-Barbarella
Barbarella, ba-Barbarella
Barbarella
(Ba-Barbarella, ba-ba)
(Ba-Barbarella, ba-ba)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-Barbarella
(Ba-Barbarella, ba-ba)
Ba-ba-Barbarella!
“What good is sitting alone In your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.
Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
It’s time for a holiday.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum
Come to the Cabaret.
Come taste the wine,
Come hear the band.
Come blow a horn,
Start celebrating;
Right this way,
Your table’s waiting.
What good’s permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret!
I used to have a girlfriend
Known as Elsie,
With whom I shared
Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn’t what you’d call
A blushing flower…
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour.
The day she died the neighbors
Came to snicker:
“Well, that’s what comes
From too much pills and liquor.”
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
She was the happiest… corpse…
I’d ever seen.
I think of Elsie to this very day.
I remember how she’d turn to me and say:
“What good is sitting all alone in you room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.”
And as for me,
I made my mind up back in Chelsea,
When I go, I’m going like Elsie.
Start by admitting
From cradle to tomb
It isn’t that long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Only a Cabaret, old chum
And I love a Cabaret.
