Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean’s daughter
Walking on a wave she came
Staring as she called my name
And I can’t get it out of my head
No I can’t get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
‘Cause I can’t get it out of my head no, no
Breakdown on the shoreline
Can’t move, it’s an ebb tide
Morning don’t get here tonight
Searching for her silver light
And I can’t get it out of my head
No I can’t get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
‘Cause I can’t get it out of my head, no, no
Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot
They don’t envy me, yeah
Sitting ’til the sun goes down
In dreams the world keeps going ’round and ’round
And I can’t get it out of my head
No I can’t get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
‘Cause I can’t get it out of my head, no, no
Oh I can’t get it out of my head
No I can’t get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
‘Cause I can’t get it out of my head, no, no, no, no
I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
‘Cause we don’t want your broken parts
I’ve learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one’ll love you as you are
But I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown ’em out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ’cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away ’cause today, I won’t let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades and
Reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that’s what we’ve become (yeah, that’s what we’ve become)
I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown ’em out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ’cause here I come
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me
And I know that I deserve your love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) There’s nothing I’m not worthy of
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown ’em out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ’cause here I come (look out ’cause here I come)
And I’m marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown ’em out
I’m gonna send a flood
Gonna drown ’em out
Oh
This is me
I’m trying to hold my breath
Let it stay this way
Can’t let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
‘Cause darling, without you
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it’ll
Never be enough
Never be enough
For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me
For me
For me
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it’ll
Never be enough
Never be enough
For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
For me
For me
For me
For me
Ooh
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
You’re a teaser, you turn ’em on
Leave ’em burning and then you’re gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Digging the dancing queen
I work all night, I work all day to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain’t it sad?
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That’s too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn’t have to work at all, I’d fool around and have a ball
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
It’s a rich man’s world
A man like that is hard to find but I can’t get him off my mind
Ain’t it sad?
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn’t fancy me
That’s too bad
So I must leave, I’ll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
It’s a rich man’s world
I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
‘Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
Mhm, she says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan
So I say thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me
I’ve been so lucky
I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me
So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me
First time, first love
Oh what feeling is this
Electricity flows
With the very first kiss
Like a break in the clouds
And the first ray of sun
I can feel it inside
Something new has begun
And it’s taking control
Of my body and mind
It began when I heard I love you
For the very first time
For the very first time
This life, this love
All the sweetness I feel
So mysterious yet
So incredibly real
It’s an uncharted sea
It’s an unopened door
But you gotta reach out
And you gotta explore
Even though you’re not sure
Till the moment arrives
There he is and you know you’re in love
For the very first time
For the very first time
And baby when I met you
Every feeling I had was new
I don’t think there are words
To describe the sensation
It’s an uncharted sea
It’s an unopened door
But you gotta reach out
And you gotta explore
And when something happens
That words can’t define
Only then do you know you’re in love
For the very first time
For the very first time
For the very first time
There you go
Flashing fever from your eyes
Hey baby
Come over here
And shut them tight
I’m not denyin’
We’re flying above it all
Hold my hand, don’t let me fall
You’ve such amazing grace
I’ve never felt this way
Oh, show me Heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me Heaven, babe
Here I go
I’m shakin’ just like the breeze
Hey baby
I need your hand to steady me
I’m not denyin’
I’m frightened as much as you
Though I’m barely touching you
I’ve shivers down my spine
And it feels divine
Oh, show me Heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me Heaven, babe
If you know what it’s like
To dream a dream
Baby hold me tight and let this be
Oh, oh, Heaven, Cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me Heaven, babe
Leave me breathless
Leave me breathless
Cover me, oh yeah
You made me your servant
Your submissive slave of love
All dressed up in leather
Anxiously waiting in cuffs
Come on break me
I must worship at your feet
I want you to take me
In our dungeon we will meet
It’s a lusty crime
But it feels devine
Beat me one more time
Nasty shivers run down my spine
Make me crawl on the floor-break me
Make me scream for more-take me
You rule. I adore-use me
Use me, abuse me
Make me sing with pain-break me
Make me go insane-take me
Make me shout your name-use me
Use me, abuse me
You’re my master
I’m submitting all of me
Blindfolded and naked
In my bondage I’m set free
Loving as you bind me
Waiting patiently
Praying that you’ll take me
Into pain and ecstasy
Sex Bomb
Sex Bomb
Sex Bomb
Do Me, do me
Sex Bomb

Do Me, do me
“Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the circus at the end of the world! Tonight, for your pleasure, we will laugh, and cry, and dance, and sing, but don’t worry! None of it means a thing!”
Welcome ladies, girls and boys
To this place of light and noise!
Dancing beauties spin like tops
And skillful craftsman show their chops
We laugh and cry year after year
But don’t look closely, there’s no tears
Nothing to say no thoughts to give
We are so imaginative!
In my words there’s nothing hid
No deep meaning…I just kid!
All for your pleasure, light as rain
Nothings hidden, there’s no pain
Hear the stories fancy free
Hear these tales of fantasy
No real journeys, no real pain
No understanding left to gain!
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie!
Ladies and Gentlemen bring your wallet and your good behavior to the rear
Where we will sell you a small piece of our souls
Just for your pleasure
Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
“Fools” said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
Then the sign said, “The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls”
And whispered in the sound of silence
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needle work
(Bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she’ll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land
(A sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Washes the grave with silvery tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strands
(And polishes a gun)
Then she’ll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
(Blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
(A cause they’ve long ago forgotten)
Then she’ll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
I’ve been waiting here
Waiting for faith
And the word to fall.
Now the darkness comes
And I’ll pray for
The end of us all.
Don’t let the dark into me
We killed the angels that warned us of you
Don’t let the dark into me
We raised the tower of Babel for you
Don’t let the dark into me
We let the children build temples for you
Don’t let the dark into me
Don’t let the vengeance of Heaven be you
So pray to me, I’m the Lord’s new disease,
Look down into the face of God.
Bow down and cry, I’m the black Messiah,
The one true divinity.
Kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter,
Who said I’d save anyone?
So bleed for me, I need hostility
To lead the faithful and the blind.
Don’t let the light shine on me
I am the poison that feeds life to you
Don’t let the light shine on me
I am the demon that waits inside you
Don’t let the light shine on me
I am the ghost that reminds death of you
Don’t let the light shine on me
I am the darkness that crawls into you
I know that we are young
And I know that you may love me
But I just can’t be with you like this anymore
Alejandro
She’s got both hands
In her pocket
And she won’t look at you
Won’t look at you
She hides true love
En su bolsillo

Around you

Hot like Mexico, rejoice
At this point I gotta choose
Nothing to lose

At this point I’ve gotta choose
Nothing to lose

Uh, ooh, woo!
Back up! Uh-oh! Watch out! Uh!
You done wound me up!
‘Bout to show you what I’m workin’ with, uh
Well, Ali Baba, he had them 40 thieves
Scheherazade had a thousand tales
But, master, you’re in luck because up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails
You got some power in your corner now
Heavy ammunition in your camp
You got some punch, pizazz, yahoo, and how?
All you gotta do is rub that lamp
And then I’ll say
“Mr. Man, what’s your name? Whatever-
What will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order, I’ll jot it down”
You ain’t never had a friend like me
Life is your restaurant
And I’m your maitre d’
Come, whisper to me whatever it is you want
You ain’t never had a friend like me
We pride ourselves on service
You the boss, the king, the shah!
Say what you wish, it’s yours! True dish
How about a little more baklava?
Have some of column A
Try all of column B
I’m in the mood to help you, dude
You ain’t never had a friend like me
Oh! Uh!
It’s the big part, watch out
It’s the big part, oh
Can your friends do this?
Can your friends do that?
Can your friends pull this?
Out their little hat?
Can your friends go?
I’m the genie of the lamp
I can sing, rap, dance, if you give me a chance, oh!
Don’t sit there buggy-eyed
I’m here to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide, certified
You got a genie for your charge d’affaires
I got a powerful urge to help you out
So what’s your wish? I really wanna know
You got a list that’s three miles long, no doubt
All you gotta do is rub like so
Mister Aladdin! Yes!
One wish or two or three
Well, I’m on the job, you big nabob
You ain’t never had a friend, never had a friend, you ain’t
Never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain’t never (never!)
