When you slide your body right up next to me (Accelerator) My heart beating faster, I can hardly breathe (Accelerator) Clothes you’re wearing just right, looking like a star (Accelerator) Won’t you take me tonight, riding in your car? (Accelerator) When you drive that speed I feel so weak We don’t have to speak I won’t ever leave Accelerate me I’m where I want to be I’m losing all control Won’t you accelerate Accelerate me Cross my heart and hope to die Accelerate my love babe Feel me in your power drive Accelerate my love babe Round and round and round we go Twist the dagger to and fro Please don’t spare my soul Racing through the night life we don’t ever stop (Accelerator) Street lights fly by, so bright, just like shooting stars (Accelerator) Talk to me in language I don’t understand (Accelerator) Baby keep on climbing, my life is in your hands (Accelerator) When you drive that speed I feel so weak We don’t have to speak I won’t ever leave Accelerate me I’m where I want to be I’m losing all control Well you accelerate Accelerate me Cross my heart and hope to die Accelerate my love babe Feel me in your power drive Accelerate my love baby Round and round and round we go Grab your partner don’t let go Separate my soul I can’t remember when we started driving The night is so black and we left the city a long time ago I don’t mind I lose control Please don’t slow down We’re almost there And though my body is more machine than man Of this I’m sure I belong to you my accelerator

I should have told you I have half a mind To spend each lovely night with you I should have offered you my space and my time It’s not enough to say I do So kiss me in heaven After we die Make me that promise ‘cause I’m gonna work To give my mind to you So kiss me in heaven After we die Baby I promise ‘cause I need more than one life with you I never learned about St. Peter in school But for tonight let’s just pretend I’m never ever gonna stage no revolution on you I’m never ever gonna lose myself again So kiss me in heaven After we die Make me that promise ‘cause I’m gonna work To give my mind to you So kiss me in heaven After we die Baby I promise ‘cause I need more than one life with you

The Flame 04:20
Last week we were close as can be in the moonlight Now we only barely talk on the phone It seems to me that we’re only in love at the wrong time And feeling that will turn you to stone If love is a song we’re singing The flame turning blue Well honey my ears are ringing That’s all all I ever wanted from you I drove me to our favorite place by the seaside Ice cream but it don’t taste sweet anymore I know I’ll be fine but I can’t keep swallowing my pride, pretty baby And going to the movies alone If ours is a chance worth taking The flame burning bright And mine is a heart worth breaking I really wanna hold you tonight Flame of love One I can’t seem to light Flame of Love Please don’t take my something bright If love is a song were singing The flame burning strong Well honey I know you’re bringing Your heart along Tell me baby You know I’ll never hurt you I only want to know what’s in your mind We used to dream about the future But now it just seems so unkind Don’t let the light go out Burning the flame of love Don’t let the sun go down Burning the flame of love

Monday’s fine Tuesdays I’m in trouble Wednesday’s when the whole world’s after me Thursday night I’ll be seeing double Friday morning back out on the street Saturday’s child don’t sleep ’til Sunday Still living that TV fantasy Saturday’s child don’t live forever That’s the way they want it to be Sundays I’ll be praying to another Mondays might as well be working for free Tuesday night I lost another lover Wednesday dream of Saturdays to be Saturday’s child don’t sleep ’til Sunday Still working in the phantom factory Saturday’s child don’t live forever That’s the price of living so free So free me I’ve got no use for high society Their money never lasts that long I’ve got no interest in reality While they sleep I play my saxophone Saturday’s child don’t sleep ’til Sunday Not everything is pain and misery Saturday’s world belongs to no one And that’s the way I like it to be

Fake Roses 02:33
I’m dancing all alone Can’t seem to get my feet just right Second summer on the moon You know it gets so cold at night We used to pick flowers for Elvis But now the meadows all gone Now we just dream of buildings Fake roses planted in the front lawn All that I wanted I didn’t need it All that I wanted I didn’t need it All that I wanted I couldn’t let that go The elevator rush Can’t tell it’s going up or it's down When you just can’t get enough It’s been awhile since you touched the ground I don’t want to rain on your holiday With my hallucinations But the truth always cuts like a razor blade Just when you’re having big fun All that I wanted I didn’t need it All that I wanted I didn’t need it All that I wanted I don’t need that now All that I wanted I didn’t need it All that I wanted I didn’t need it All that I wanted I just let that go There’s water in your mercury There’s thunder in your eyes When all you want is America And all I do is drive Still miles and headlights from you baby

Jesse don’t turn away from me Let me see your eyes I’ve been looking for something to believe Searching day and night Jesse wake up it’s time to leave The bags are by the door With a picture torn from some magazine Another dream we can’t afford Don’t it feel like life is just a lonely melody? Like every single passing moment plays across your silver screen How serene Oh but where’d you learn to shake your tambourine? I’ve known it forever That’s part of the deal I go reaching for a star Over and over again I never get that far But I can pretend baby I go reaching for a star Tangerine and clover But it’s only in my heart Jesse don’t take that tone with me Don’t you know there’s nowhere left to go? And you can’t outrun your history Or all these voices on the radio Ooh they tell me Life is just a lonely waking dream It seems like every single passing moment plays across your silver screen How serene If I could only shake your tambourine But I know you would never And that’s alright by me I go reaching for a star Over and over again I never get that far But I can pretend I go reaching for a star Tangerine and clover But it’s only in my heart

Ask me for my photograph Baby I ain’t got the time I gotta get salvation fast They tell me seek and you shall find Let go of your anger baby And I’ll let go of my pride All aboard the midnight train Baby let’s ride Come down with me T is for temptation fighting for the crown R is for rejection don’t let it get you down U and me forever E veryone in harmony F is for foundation A pples from the tree S is something simple not C razy when you see I just want a NATION a nation of the young and free And the people sing (True Fascination) Time is on your side Come on baby let’s take a ride (True Fascination) Something’s in the air One look and you’re almost there (True Fascination) Eyes are open wide Ecstasy that’s what you find (True Fascination) Baby don’t you cry Never have to say goodbye When I lie awake at night All these monsters in my bed Got to find a brighter light So I paint the picture red Swimming through the darkest waters Diving for the pearl Soon enough you find that there was nothing left to lose Give it a whirl Come dance with me T is for translation, the language of the heart R is for religion to tear your world apart U can’t stop the weather so E nergize your fantasy F is for frustration A nswers never come S is for solution a C op without a gun I just want a NATION I can’t be the only one And the people sing (True Fascination) Time is on your side Come on baby let’s take a ride (True Fascination) Something’s in the air One look and you’re almost there (True Fascination) Eyes are open wide Ecstasy that’s what you find (True Fascination) Baby don’t you cry Never have to say goodbye It’s a brave new world Watch it all unfurl Sing it I just want to laugh Ok you can take my photograph Baby don’t you cry We don’t ever have to say goodbye To true fascination

I never dreamed that life, baby Was made of mystery But when I look for something true It just seems to slip from me I never looked to god, baby Well now I’m on my knees Just when I thought that you were gone You flash on my screen Telephone Telephone Telephone Number Telephone Telephone Telephone Number Telephone Telephone That’s all I have of yours Well I’m not one for sad goodbyes But you left right out of the blue I think I’ll ride out late tonight Searching for signs of you The moon is high the stars are bright But heaven never made no difference to me I hope you find some sleep tonight Wherever you’ll be Telephone Telephone Telephone Number Telephone Telephone Telephone Number Telephone Telephone That’s all I have of yours Nothing ever really changes You take your three steps Then you walk away Lovers turn backs and shake their heads At when you lose control I know you’re never gonna call me I know you’re never gonna call I know you’re never gonna call me I know you’re never gonna call I’ll just let the rain fall
