1. SHADOWS OF THE HIGHT

[Chorus:]
We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

You said - oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
I said you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
'Cause we got nobody else

[Chorus]

You know that sometimes, it feels like
It's all moving way too fast
Use every alibi and words you deny
That love ain't meant to last
You can cry tough baby, it's all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight

[Chorus] (x2)

And now the hands of time are standin' still
Midnight angel, won't you say you will

[Chorus] (x3)


2. LOOKING FOR A STRANGER

I had it with the same old routine
I had it with the same old faces, places
Everynight, in my life
I started feeling washed up, washed out
Hung up, wrung out, left to dry out
Everynight
But I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight

I'm tired of the same old
Hello baby, how ya doun'? come here often?
Where have you been all my life?
Everynight

But I know
That someday, somewhere
I'll turn around and you'll be there
Ooo..., in my life
Everynight

But I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight

I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight


3. ANXIETY (GET NERVOUS)

Get nervous...Get nervous
Get nervous...Get nervous...Get nervous
Get nervous...Get nervous...Get nervous
Get nervous...Get nervous

I feel a little shaky, I can't control my nerves
I know you think I'm fakin' it, can't you feel the curves
I swear to you I feel it, it scares me half to death
It gathers in my throat and it gathers up my breath

Anxiety-got me on the run
Anxiety-yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety-can't get nothin' done
Anxiety-spoils all the fun

I'm picking up the telephone, there's no one I call
I need somebody bad tonight, can't find no sleep at all
I wish I could relax, I just can't stop my mind
I wish I could collapse but my body's not that kind

Anxiety-got me on the run
Anxiety-I just need someone
Anxiety-can't get nothin' done
Anxiety-spoils all the fun

Can't you hear my heart beat?
Hear the way it sounds?
Can't you hear my heart beat?
Y' hear the way it pounds?
Just give me somethin' to slow it down! Yeah!

Sometimes in the city, sometimes in my car
I pound on the windows like a bee inside a jar

Anxiety-got me on the run
Anxiety- yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety- can't get nothin done
Anxiety- spoils all the fun

Anxiety-got me on the run
Anxiety- yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety- can't get nothin done
Anxiety- spoils all the fun

Get nervous...get nervous
Get nervous...get nervous
Get nervous...get nervous


4. FIGHT IT OUT

I heard you say
You're feeling like a change now
Maybe baby this could be arranged now
But I warn ya that no exotic scenery
Will solve your problems or make you feel easy

You say you're happy
But I see apprehension
That little laugh of yours
Doesn't hide the tension
The precious book you clutch
So tightly in your hands
Won't help you sleep at night
Won't iron out your plans

You got to fight it out
With your heart
You got to fight it
'fore it tears you apart
You got to fight it out
My friend
You got to do it for yourself
You got to say when

You ask advice
Then resent my observations
If I didn't care
Then I wouldn't make them
Can't change the past
Why let it haunt you
Can paint the future
But first you have to want to

You got to fight it out
With your heart
You got to fight it
'fore it tears you apart
You got to fight it out
My friend
You got to do it for yourself
And you got to say when

I can see how much you hurt inside
I know all about the tears you hide

You got to fight it out
With your heart
You got to fight it
'fore it tears you apart
You got to fight it out
My friend

You got to fight it out
With your heart
You got to fight it
'fore it tears you apart
You got to fight it out
My friend

You know that the lonely pay a price for love in the end
You know that the lonely pay a price for love in the end
It's always the lonely pay a price for love in the end


5. THE VICTIM

You've been set up one too many times
The perfect victim for the perfect crime
You left yourself wide open to the pain
So close your eyes now
You're out walkin' in the rain
You've got a burning desire to be the victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart

Your choice of lovers, never very bright
Your father worried, but even he gave up the fight
You always think their hearts are made of gold
And you're the savior, to coax the warmth out of the cold

You've got a burning desire to be the victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart
Cause you're the victim

Break the pattern, you've gotta break away
Break the pattern before it gets too late

You've got a burning desire to be the victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you're never told are gonna tear you apart
Cause you're the victim


6. LITTLE TOO LATE

I hear you had a good offer down on Third Avenue
You tell me that was the reason
For whatcha' put me through, Yeah
And now you come collapsin' back
I feel the heat of your attack
Want me to take you back
I'm givin' you the sack
So don't waste your time

[Chorus:]
It's a Little Too Little
It's a Little Too Late
I'm a Little Too Hurt
And there's nothin' left that I've gotta say
You can cry to me baby
But there's only so much I can take
Ah, it's a Little Too Little
It's a Little Too Late

You say you had a good time
But did ya' think it was for free - yeah
And how much did it get ya', all their flattery
And now you come back, runnin' for protection
You've been bitten by love and stung by rejection
You can't connect
What did you expect?
I'm still gettin' over you

[Chorus] (x4)


7. I'LL DO IT

Well there are seen sides so good to you
I know the side you're serving to prove
Awkward conversation and you're too polite
You know that's always a clue
I'm wasting my time tryin' to tell ya
That you're making the mistake of your life
'Cause you're so sure that you need to go
And it will cost you any price

But I'll do it
I'll let you out on your own with no guarantee
I'll do it
But when you want to come home
And you look for love
Don't look for me

Tell me when did everything start to go wrong
And why was I the last one to know
You're so good at hiding your feelings
I'm so good at letting mine show
Well I know how great it feels together
But that just isn't enough
'Cause I need more than your bedside manner
I need someone to love

So I'll do it
I guess there's nothing to say,
When it's all been said
I'll do it
Make sure you want it this way
'Cause when it's done this time
I'll be gone

I'll do it
I'll send you out on your own with no guarantee
I'll do it
But when you want to come home
And you look for love
Don't look for me

Ooh, I'll do it
I'll do it (x3)


8. I WANT OUT

Ooh baby, got a hold on me, I can't deny it
You locked the door and you swallowed the key
And I... and I kept quiet
Yeah baby, got a hold on me, I didn't want to be alone
I stayed with you `cause I really believed
That I couldn't make it on my own

But I'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And I know what you're all about
I Want Out!
I Want Out!

Ooh baby, your lovin' told on me, I couldn't smile anymore
My friends all told me, baby can't you see?
But I wasn't seeing clear before

Now I'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And I know what you're all about
I Want Out!
I Want Out!

Ooh baby, got a hold on me, I didn't want to be alone
I stayed with you `cause I really believed
That I couldn't make it
I Want Out!

Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!


9. TELL IT TO HER

I'm the one you put all your stories on
She's the one, you keep it a secret from
She believes you, just like I did at the start
When you wrapped up my heart, and played with my emotions

[Chorus:]
Tell it to her
Cause I don't want to hear it
Tell it to her
I know why she would
There's a fool born every minute
When you're in it, it feels so good
Why don't you tell it to her

She don't know the darker side of you
She don't know what your love will put her through
Your sweet talkin' makes her feel so safe and sure
But that won't change what you are
And I'm the one who knows it

[Chorus]

Cause I don't want to hear it
Tell it to her
I know why she would
There's a fool born every minute
When you're in it, it feels so good

You're the one who had it all and wanted more
But you can't do it to me anymore

[Chorus]

Cause I don't want to hear it
Tell it to her
I don't want to hear it
Tell it to her
Go on and tell it to her
Tell it to her
There's a fool born every minute
Tell it to her
Go on and tell it to her
Tell it to her


10. SILENT PARTNER

Background voices calling from a distance
Static on the line of least resistance
Don't say nothing at all
Don't say nothing at all
Don't say nothing at all

I'm hanging on a wire, waitin' on the word
I'm never seen, you're never heard
The object of desire is seldom ever clear
I reach for you but all I hear

Are the background voices calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush

A lover without words is easily deceived
And rumors easily believed
The matter of obsession is seldom ever clear
I turn around, you disappear

In background voices calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush
Silent partners, you know they don't say nothing at all

What about the things we never mention?
What about the things we never say?
Will we wind up targets of affection?
Turning silent, the silent turn away

A paramour or less, is never really sure
Exactly what to listen for
In secret service to the things they never say
The silent partners fade away

To background voices, calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush
Silent partners, you know they don't say nothing at all
