Looking For a Real Life
When you wake up in the morning
And you stare into your soul’s mirror
Do you think that it’s gonna be a good day?
An excellent day?
And when you’re talking to yourself
Do you feel the truth getting any nearer?
Or do you sugarcoat everything you have to say?
Oh, the games that you play!
What’s the use of lying to yourself
In a life that’s going nowhere?
What’s the use of anything all?
Looking out of the window searching for an answer
Do you see any miracles in the sky
That you hope will fall?
No! Well that says it all
Your destination’s unknown
But you know you’ve got to go
Into the wilderness
Looking for a real life
Keep on searching for the road
With your hands upon the wheel
It’s not as crazy as it feels
Looking for a real life
You’re spinning round in circles
But the world’s in sync from your point of view
You’re blinded by your senses
Overloaded by the lies that you think are true
Sometimes you try so hard
You look through what’s right there in front of you
It’s like taking in a Monet
You step back and God! What a view!
Your destination’s unknown
But you know you’ve got to go
Into the wilderness
Looking for a real life
Keep on searching for the road
With your hands upon the wheel
It’s not as crazy as it feels
Looking for a real life

All I Want Is You

All I Want Is You
I want to say something really profound
But there’s nothing I can think of now
I want to live on the edge of the happiest crowd
But I can’t find my way around
I want to swim all day in the fountain of youth
But the guards won’t let me in
I want to carve my name up on Heaven’s gate
But I’ve got a real fear it’s a sin
So many things I dream of that I’m never gonna do
If there’s only one thing that I could choose
Spin the bottle, I’ll dare the truth
All I want is you
Don’t ruin my illusion by saying something real
If there’s a chance in hell that you’ll change your mind
I’ll wait until you stop spinning your wheels
Yeah, I’ve got more time than money
I’ve got far less sense than that
I’ve got all the things that I really don’t need
There’s just one thing that I lack
All I want is you
I can’t wait till someday
Cause tomorrow never comes
I’m living in the now, babe
The present’s much more fun
And all I want is you
Don’t want to watch the sunset from the far side of the moon
Don’t want to know that the end of the world
Will be showing up way too soon
Don’t want a lot of money
And I don’t want to watch TV
Don’t want about a million other things
Because there’s only one thing that I need
All I want is you

Energy
You’ve got the power
To turn me on
I’m loaded up on high tension
And my resistance is down
Just a moment from blackout
Before you shock me back to life
Gather all the stray voltage
And send it on down the line
Your love’s my energy
Your love’s my energy
Let it flow
Your glowing lips are like two live wires
Red hot to the touch
I short circuit when contact is made
Yeah, you stun me all that much
Generating more than I’ll ever need
But I’m ready for the overload
Your love’s my energy
Your love’s my energy
Let it flow
Come on and hit the switch
I’m plugging in to the powerful force
That’s grounding you to me
Transforming all of the current I feel
With undenied efficiency
It’s sparked by your kiss
Now the circuit’s complete
Your love’s my energy
Your love’s my energy
Let it flow

Too Serious
What’s the matter with the picture you’re seeing?
You’re straining just to get a view
Overwhelmed by the whole situation
And you wonder why you’re so confused
Under pressure is the way that you’re living
Just how long before it gets to you?
No way to let it ride
That’s the cost of pride in days like these
When survival on the ladder is the only thing that matters
Do you want to know what the problem is?
You’re too serious
Simply too serious
The daylight comes, the nighttime goes
And you don’t notice how time flies
And suddenly, before you know
Your life has passed you by.
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Good-bye
Bouncing round between the extremes
You can’t balance all the things you do
Out of touch with the thoughts that you’re thinking
Take your pulse and try to get a clue
You talk about all the things that you’d change
But they’re impossible to carry through
No way to let it ride
That’s the cost of pride in days like these
When survival on the ladder is the only thing that matters
Do you want to know what the problem is?
You’re too serious
Simply too serious
You’re too serious
(You’ve gotta get out and have some fun man)
You’re too serious
(It’s time to get your Zen on)
You’re too serious
(Get out there and live your life)
You’re too serious

Void
I’ll never look into your eyes again
I’ll never hold your hands in mine again
That’s the thing I fear the most
Meeting you just like a ghost
Haunts me till the day I die
You’re the void within my life
I love you more than you will ever really know
My heart chose you from all the rest; a perfect rose
That’s what I would say to you
But there’re so many miles between us two
Worlds apart, I’m such a fool
That’s the void I’m passing through
I can’t avoid what I can’t see
I can’t deny what’s happened to me
I can’t find a way to fill the void within my life
I’d be with you right now if fate would let me be
But there’re so many variants that are keeping you from me
Listen to my heartbeat’s voice
Crying out for you; it’s only choice
And know that it wants to be with you
To leave this void it’s passing through
It’s just too much for me to take
I think of you most everyday
It haunts me till the day I die
You’re the void within my life

My Obsession Is You

My Obsession Is You
I’ve gotta close my eyes
And leave the conscious world behind
I try to hide but still can’t get away
Everything that I do
Well you know that it’s true
My obsession is you
Beauty is the trap you’ve laid
I’m drawn in by its subtle flame
And captured by the thoughts I can’t deny
Everything that you do
Well you know that it’s true
My obsession is you
I feel the chains as strong as steal
They’re nothing more than your appeal
Growing tighter with every word you say
My obsession is you
Your perfume’s in the air
It’s almost like you’re everywhere
I draw you in with every breath I take
My obsession is you
I touch you in my dreams
Amazing just how real it seems
The stars tell me you’re everything I need
My obsession is you
The way you move
The things you say
The little looks you flash my way
No matter what I try, there’s no escaping from you
Addicted to your charms
I need the fix within your arms
My mind tells me that that’s the drug I crave
My obsession is you
There’s just no way to let it go
Underneath the lava flow
You’re the volcano deep inside of me
My obsession is you
My obsession is you

If I Could Only Be with You
And when I fall asleep
I’ll meet you in your dreams
I understand the words you speak
And what you mean
The distance melts away
While here within my mind
I’ll be with you someday
Leave loneliness behind
They say the world keeps getting smaller every day
But I don’t feel it’s true while you’re so far away
Reaching out with my memories of you
Holding on to the dreams that I hope come true
It’s all right, I’ll be fine
If I could only be with you
My heart calls out for you
On every single day
It’s tearing me in two
But I just can’t find the way
To change the way I feel
And set my spirit free
I’m going to hold on
To the fact that you miss me
Reaching out with my memories of you
(Reaching out for you)
Holding on to the dreams that I hope come true
(Holding onto you)
It’s all right, I’ll be fine
If I could only be with you
I feel
I want
To be with you
I see
I need
To be with you
Reaching out with my memories of you
(Reaching out for you)
Holding on to the dreams that I hope come true
(Holding onto you)
It’s all right, I’ll be fine
If I could only be with you
Reaching out with my memories of you
(My heart calls out for you)
Holding on to the dreams that I hope come true
(Holding onto you)
It’s all right, I’ll be fine
If I could only be with you

Modern Daze
I need some money and I need it now
I’ve got to get it and I don’t know how
I think I’m living in passé clichés
You think I’m crazy and I don’t know what to say
In the modern daze
I’ve got to be a millionaire
I’ve got to get myself out of here
The do’s and don’ts, the this and that’s
I can’t handle anymore of that
My dreams keep coming even though I’m wide awake
In the modern daze
I need some money and I need it now
I’ve got to get it and I don’t know how
I think I’m living in passé clichés
You think I’m crazy and I don’t know what to say
In the modern daze

Truth
Too many visions in my eyes
That can’t be what they seem
These deviations in the tides of our universal dreams
Crushing hearts like hurricanes that tear the shores apart
Wherever it begins
It ends in a priceless work of art
If it’s all the same to you
I’m just gathering the clues
That provide me with the proof
I’m just searching for the truth
Inside of all our hopes and dreams
It’s the only thing that’s real
No matter where it takes me to
I’m always searching for the truth
Within a friendly smile
Or concealed behind a lie
No matter where you’re going to
Or in anything you try
It always seems to find a way to keep itself alive
If it’s all the same to you
I’m just gathering the clues
That provide me with the proof
I’m just searching for the truth
Inside of all our hopes and dreams
It’s the only thing that’s real
No matter where it takes me to
I’m always searching for the truth
You know it never lets you down
And it’ll never compromise
With all the strength I have to use
I keep on striving for the truth
If it’s all the same to you
I’m just gathering the clues
That provide me with the proof
I’m just searching for the truth
Inside of all our hopes and dreams
It’s the only thing that’s real
No matter where it takes me to
I’m always searching for the truth
In everything I ever do
I’m just searching for the truth

Vivacious
I can see her walking down the boulevard
Wearing a short red dress
Heads are turning and the whispers are burning
She’s vivacious
That walk has a life of its own
And her aura explodes where she’s passed
There’s a patent pending
No mistaking her style
With a turn of her head
And a wink of an eye
She creates broken hearts that need weeks of mending
Attracting the guys who can do all the spending
She’s got a sense
She’s got a vision
She’s just vivacious
With her white high heels
That help her reach the clouds
She’s causing a commotion
And she’s gathering a crowd
She’ll lift you up, and she’ll never let you down
Window shopping for the newest guy in town
She’s sighting in her latest conquest
She takes no prisoners
She makes no requests
She’s not a movie star
She’s not a waitress
She’s just vivacious
Oh, pick me up
She’s blond on blond
Puts the planets in alignment
She draws in every man with laughter
Stronger than a magnet
She leaves you speechless in a senseless sort of way
Starring at her lipstick and that fashion model sway
Larger than life
Pure satisfaction
The perfect prototype of love-on-sight attraction
The one and only
A constant through the ages
She’s bodacious
So contagious
Too outrageous
She’s just vivacious
