1. STOP

In love, it's just the same
nothing comes in black or white
but even if we both are to blame
two wrongs don't make it right

It's just another way of saying I’m sorry
for the tears we cry for the long, long goodbye
it's just another way for the same old story
to make the heartaches begin

Oh, stop, stop what you're doing
you're pulling out the seams of my heart
stop, stop what you're doing
our love shouldn't tear us apart

Oh, stop, stop what you're doing to me and my heart

Our love is turning me inside out
our world's looking upside down
not knowing if we’re with or without
like living out of ‘Lost and Found’

It's just another way to cool passion
on and on, until it's all gone
it's just another way to carry the action
to where the heartaches begin

Oh, stop, stop what you're doing
you're pulling out the seams of my heart
stop, stop what you're doing
our love shouldn't tear us apart

Oh, stop, stop what you're doing
to me and my heart

Oh, stop, stop what you're doing
you're pulling out the seams of my heart
stop, stop what you're doing
our love shouldn't tear us apart

It's just another way of saying I’m sorry
It’s just another way of falling apart

Oh, stop, stop what you're doing
to me and my heart . . .


2. RICOCHETED LOVE

Stay in the light so I can see you
try with your eyes to make me believe you
but it's clear at a time like this
to see just what we've missed
with our empty conversation

We've tried to patch it over
but it's all wrong when the feeling's gone

In love you’ve made me cry
in life you’ve passed me by
I've had you living in my fantasy
lover’s downfall
lovers like me

Ricochet love, ricochet love

Try to make your way
for I must be leaving
it's time to say goodbye
not just for the evening

Our love has come to this
for even in your kiss
there's none of that sensation
but trials can only bruise you
and it's all wrong when the feeling's gone


In love you’ve made me cry
in life you’ve passed me by
I've had you living in my fantasy
lover’s downfall
lovers like me

Ricocheted love, ricocheted love

Our love has come to this
for even in your kiss there's none of that sensation
but trials can only bruise you
and it's all wrong when the feelings gone

In love you’ve made me cry
in life you’ve passed me by
I've had you living in my fantasy

lover’s downfall
lovers like me

Ricocheted love, ricocheted love



3. BURNING

Tears on call and pretending
tears on you won't kill me
sleepless dreams to remember
what I wanted us to be

You're burning, you're burning in me
I’m broken inside over you
you're burning, you're burning in me
I'm losing my heart for you

Play for love, of the wrong kind
play for you won't hurt me
race me on to your fire
without time, time to get free

You're burning, you're burning in me
I’m broken inside over you
you're burning, you're burning in me
I'm losing my heart for you

I wanna do some . . .
I wanna do some . . .
Away, away, away, away . . . . .

Burning, burning, burning
Burning, burning, burning . . .

You're burning, burning, burning in me
you're burning, yeah . . .



4. OVER 21

You get my letters
but I don't understand your reply
but I'll be there west of ‘the Wall’
at the ‘Romy Haag’
I've got to try

I want to see you
but you ask me why
so you're different
I've got a lifetime image of you
you're so distant
why should I matter in what you do
you've got your life
no matter what you've done
what should I care?

You're over 21
you're over 21

Another sleeper to Paris
another place to hide
you shouldn't try to fool me
after all, I'm on your side

I want to see you
but you ask me why
so you're different
I've got a lifetime image of you
you're so distant
why should I matter in what you do
you've got your life
no matter what you've done
what should I care?

You're over 21
you're over 21

But life's just illusion
never mind

You're over 21
you're over 21
you're over 21
you're over 21 . . .

I want to see you
but you ask me why



5. HOOKED-UP

Domino passion
domino cry
nobody's action
nobody's sigh

Oh, your hold is on me
oh, always on me

Love, love, don't want to get hooked-up on you
love, love, don't want to get hooked-up on you

Love in your fashion
love in your high
only reaction
do or die

Oh, your hold is on me
oh, always on me

Love, love, don't want to get hooked-up on you
love, love, don't want to get hooked-up on you . . .



6. PLAYING

Tell me, do you know what it's like to feel doubt again
about you and I
tell me, do you know what it's like to feel wronged again
can you tell me why

We talk about love when I feel it has gone
forever bringing melancholy on

You're playing, you're playing with love and my heart
you're playing, you're playing with love
I don't know that I can, but I'll try

Show me how it feels to be paid with a broken heart
when you've played your hand
show me how its done to be loved and to feel alone
I don't understand

For you show me your love
when I thought it had gone
forever bringing melancholy on

You're playing, you're playing with love and my heart
you're playing, you're playing with love

I don't know that I can but I'll try

You're playing, you're playing with love
you're playing, you're playing with love



7. IN BLUE

Look at me
I'm floating on canvas
your canvas
don't brush me out
you take me apart
rebuild me in cubes
I don't mind

Oh, paint me, paint me in blue
oh, paint me, paint me in blue

Look at you
accepting illusion
from cobalt to aquamarine
love on your canvas
is always in blue
I don't mind

Oh, paint me, paint me in blue
oh, paint me, paint me with you
paint me, paint me in blue
oh paint me, paint me with you

I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind

Paint me, paint me in blue
paint me, paint me in blue
I don't mind . . .


8. CUBISMO

Cubismo – Cubismo – Cubismo - Cubismo

Seek me out, seek me out
brush me onto your canvas
catch me out, catch me out
my thoughts of you are endless
play with me, play with me,
I’m only yours in pieces
say to me, say to me
I’m all your eyes’ releases

Cubismo: angles and cubes
Cubismo: circles and tubes
Cubismo - Cubismo - Cubismo

Lead me on, lead me on
break me down to your sections
brush me in, brush me in
mix me into reflections
lose in me, lose in me
all your thoughts triangular
I'll stay with you, I'll stay with you
as long as I’m your singular

Cubismo: angles and cubes
Cubismo: circles and tubes
Cubismo - Cubismo - Cubismo

9. DJ

I'm searching, I'm searching
I'm searching, I'm searching for you

I keep turning on that dial . . . turning . . .
I keep searching like a child, searching . . .

I love, I love, I love, I love my best D.J.
I love, I love, I love, I love my best D.J.

But I’ll keep on until I find you
I'll have no peace of mind until I do. Oh!

I love, I love, I love, I love my best D.J. . . .

I'm searching, I'm searching
I'm searching, I'm searching . . .

I love, I love, I love, I love my best D.J. . . .



10. BLOW

Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow . . . . .

Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!!! . . . .
