Blue-jean baby
L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed
Pirate smile
You’ll marry a music man
Ballerina
You must’ve seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she’s in me
Always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks
Out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back
She just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man
He makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on
She sings the songs
The words she knows
The tune she hums
But oh, how it feels so real
Lying here, with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

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…
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around
They say you got a boyfriend
You’re out late every weekend
They’re talkin’ about you and it’s bringin’ me down
But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheaper when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I’m telling you, babe
That I don’t think it’s true, babe
And even if it is, keep this in mind
You take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun
So you take it on the run
You’re thinking up your white lies
You’re putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you’re coming home but you won’t say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight, keep running
And you need never look back again
You take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun
So you take it on the run
Take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun
So you take it on the run
Take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun
So you take it on the run
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around
You should have seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin’ missin’
You should have known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn’t listen
You played dead, but you never bled
Instead you laid still in the grass, all coiled up and hissin’
And though I know all about those men
Still I don’t remember
‘Cause it was us
Baby, way before then, and we’re still together
And I meant
Every word I said
When I said that I loved you I meant that I loved you forever
And I’m gonna keep on lovin’ you
‘Cause it’s the only thing I want to do
I don’t want to sleep, I just want to keep on lovin’ you
And I meant
Every word I said
When I said that I loved you I meant that I loved you forever
And I’m gonna keep on lovin’ you
‘Cause it’s the only thing I want to do
I don’t want to sleep, I just want to keep on lovin’ you
Baby, I’m gonna keep on loving you
‘Cause it’s the only thing I wanna do
I don’t want to sleep, I just want to keep on lovin’ you
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
Ridin’ through this world
All alone
God takes your soul
You’re on your own
The crow flies straight
A perfect line
On the devil’s path
Until you die
This life is short
Baby that’s a fact
Better live it right
You ain’t comin’ back
Gotta raise some hell
Before they take you down
Gotta live this life
Gotta look this world
In the eye
Gotta live this life
Till you die
You better have soul
Nothin’ less
‘Cause when it’s business time
It’s life or death
The king is dead
But life goes on
Don’t lose your head
When a deal goes down
Better keep your eye
On the road ahead
Gotta live this life
Gotta look this world
In the eye
Gotta live this life
Till you die, yeah

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour 9:00 a.m.
And I’m gonna be high
As a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them
If you did
And all this science
I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man
A rocket man
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can’t hold me forever
I didn’t sign up with you
I’m not a present for your friends to open
This boy’s too young to be singing
The blues, ah, ah
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah
What do you think you’ll do then?
I bet they’ll shoot down the plane
It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you’ll get a replacement
There’s plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
On the ground, ah, ah
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah
