I've taken alot of lip
Just to be what I am
You think it's tough being a kid, huh
Well try being a man sometime
Everybody wants a little piece
Or they try to shoot you down
Well I just tell 'em, "Sit on this
And spin around." Yeah, whoo
It ain't easy speakin' out
Some people take it to heart
And if you ain't standin' on top of the rock
They'll try and tear you apart
Me, I took four the hard way
I overcame the fear
And it got me in a lot of trouble
But it also got me here
Standin' on top
Top of the rock
Standin' on top
Top of the rock
I may not be a business man
I ain't no fast slick talker
But you just ask the kid in the street
He'll tell ya I'm a rocker
Everybody wants a little piece
And they try to shoot me down
Yeah, well I tell them to "Sit on this
Huh, and take a spin around."
Standin' on top
Top of the rock
Standin' on top
Top of the rock
I took four the hard way
I overcame you fear
Yeah, she got me in a lot of trouble
And it also got me here
Standin' on top
Top of the rock
Standin' on top
Top of the rock, yes, wooh
And I'm standin' on top
Top of the rock
Standin' on top
Top of the rock, yeah
Standin' on top of the rock
Yeah, and I ain't comin' down, baby huh
Ow

I remember the first time
And I remember the last
I can't forget the good times, baby
Why have they gone so fast
And I'll always remember
How good you make me feel
Yes, and I always thought if you left me, huh
Well it was no big deal
But its hard to describe how I'm missing you
Girl I'm not tryin' to hide I've been missing you
Everyday
We had big plans
But they kinda fell through
Now for the rest of my life, babe
I'll be missing you
Sometimes I feel so empty
Like there's a hole inside
And I can't forget you baby
God knows I've tried
But it's hard to describe how I'm missing you
Girl I'm not trying to hide, I've been missing you
When you look in my eyes, you'll see I'm missing you, yeah
Well turn your back and walk away
But just don't hang up on me that way
And understand that we did the best we could, oh
And if I could have you, you know that I would
'Cause girl, I've been missing you
Yeah, yeah, well turn your back and walk away, baby
But just don't hang up on me that way, no
And understand that we did the best we could, oh
And if I could have you, you know I would
Girl, I've been missing you
I've been missing you, woah
Missing you
Yeah, I've been missing you, missing you
And I'm not trying to hide
I've been missing you

When there is no animation
We slowly lose control
I feel all caught up in this situation
It turns diamonds into coal, yeah
I feel just like our love is paralyzed
We've gotten used to being cold
In this day and age it seems uncivilized
Our loving can't be bought and sold
I feel the comforts of stagnation
We're paralyzed by precious things
By choice we walk to our damnation
Tied and bound by golden rings
When I try to talk, I can't say a word
When I try to move, a horizontal walk
I try to sing, I can't find the key anywhere
I try to touch but my nerves go, ahh, yeah
When there is no animation
When there is no animation
When there is no animation
Yeah
But you and I don't have to fall down
Baby, we'll fly without a net
Too much temptation all around
Try not to get your feet too wet
When there is no animation
. . .

Across the Nile, white desert sand
Ten thousand years of sweat, blood and hand
Stones piled so high, a mausoleum scene
We'll reach the sky to the Valley of the Kings
Goodbye Felik, I'll see you soon
We shall rejoice, toot anch a mun
All spirits gone, just empty tombs
Long dark halls lead to empty rooms, yeah
. . .

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more, mmm
The room was humming harder
And the ceiling flew away
When I called out for another drink
Well, the waiter brought a tray
And so it was later
When the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
He said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
I just could not let her be, no
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Was leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed
And so it was later
When the miller told his tale
He said her face at first just ghostly
And turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was later
When the miller told his tale
He said our faces, our faces first just ghostly
They turned a whiter shade of pale
Oh, just a whiter shade of pale
They turned a whiter shade of pale
. . .

I was lookin' at ya from across the room
There's nothing deeper than tonight
Well all I wanted was to dust my broom
And she was lookin' like she might
Oh, the woman has a certain smile
A special look, some kind of tension
Yeah, just knowin' all the while
Everyone knows my intentions, oh
She's hot and she's dirty
Little did I know what I was bitin' off
I thought I would pull a hit and run
Just about the time I was gettin' off, huh
She said your fun has just begun, whoo
Yes, I thought I knew my way around
I always like a few surprises
Yes, but when she felt me going down, down, down
Well you talk about surprises, oh
Yes
She's hot, she's dirty
That woman was hot (she's hot), yeah she's dirty
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, the woman has a certain smile
That special look, some kind of tension
Yeah, like she's knownin' all the while
Every one of my dimensions, oh
Huh, yeah
She's hot, she's dirty
That woman, that woman
She's hot, she's dirty
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She's hot, good or bad, she's dirty
I can see it in your eyes, baby
She's hot, whoo, she's dirty
Yeah, that woman's so hot, huh
She's dirty
. . .

It's a great big world
So far from home
Look around and you'll find
You're all alone
Looking through your clothes
Slip into your finer things
It's so hard to please
'Cause its time to change
So much to do
But there's no time
Your past keeps haunting you
Leave it behind
Then there's your friends
Friendships can fade away
Not much left to talk about
'Cause there's too much to say
'Cause it's time to change, yeah
Time to change (time to change)
Oh now, it begins
You hope your life hasn't just begun
And you feel the walls closing in, yeah
It's such a shame you're still so soft and young
He will understand what your goin' through
He will understand just what you've got to do
He will understand, if he's the one
He will understand, yeah
Yeah, he will understand what you're goin' through
He will understand just what you've got to do
He will understand, baby, if he's the one
He will understand, yeah
When it's time to change
Time to change
It's 3:00 A.M.
And you dream that he's touching you
Lights out since 10:00
It's time to change
. . .

Well I just stepped off the plane
Both feet on the ground
Yes, I can't complain
Yeah
Me and my friends standin' there
Come to welcome me
Nothin' can compare
Hey
Well this is my home town
I'm back in my hometown
I love, love it, my home town
Yes I'm back, I'm back
This is my home
Drivin' down the street
Yes it all comes back
Rockin' to the beat
