Come up to my lighthouse for I have something I wish to say
It can wait for a moment; well in fact it can wait all day
I just wanted to bring you up here
so you could have the chance to see the beauty of this situation that you could
share with me
It may seem strange to talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange to me
Hey
All alone you and I in our high tower
That's the way to be
Some laugh at my lighthouse they say it's just an ivory tower
But I don't mind because I know their envy grows by the hour
See I have a purpose up here to guide the ships upon their way
All this is mine; it could be yours too
what do you say?
It may seem strange to talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange to me
Hey
All alone
you and I in our high tower
That's the way to be

When I was with this girl last night
she held me tight; it turned me on
The moon was dark and those clothes were tight
her perfume strong; it turned me on
Fleeting moments touched in the night
then so strong but banished by the light
Her presence gone, memories remain of how she kissed and turned me on
Now there's this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
And I still have dull aching pain desire to reach and touch you once again
Distractions cannot sate the need it grows once more, it grows once more
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I have this pain inside of me
Why can't you see? Why can't you see?
I'm stranded here with no way home
Please rescue me, oh won't you rescue me?
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me
I've got this love inside of me

I hate to complain, you know, but then again
I cannot pretend nothing's wrong
Looking at my present situation, the act cannot last for long
Viewed from outside these pursuits I might try
seem possessed of a certain allure
Now they're no longer a source of mystery my faith in them's more unsure
Now the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really on my mind
Yes I'd like to turn you over to see what's on your other side
To see if the problem's in my mind
In my mind
The choice is quite clear, to move on or stay here
Decision is harder to take
Reject what I have for something unstable could easily be a mistake
So I walk round the place with a smile on my face
pretending the best that I can
Hoping to lose the inclination to desire what I can't understand
And the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really on my mind
Yes I'd like to turn you over
to see what's on your other side
To see if the problem's in my mind
In my mind
Lalalalala lalalalala...
Now the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really on my mind
Yes I'd like to turn you over
to see what's on your other side
Like to turn it over in my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind

Would you like to hear about the things I fear?
About my life, and loves too?
Well why should I tell you?
If I told you a secret
you'd be sure to leak it
You couldn't keep it inside
no matter how hard you tried
On boats and trains and
and boats and trains and
funny things and
funny things and

The blue girls that bake in the sun
Skin falls in flakes from each one
Like leaves from autumn trees
they float upon the breeze
These girls you have loved
are slowly decaying
Ah
Drying out in the sun
before your eyes
Wild stares in your face
they seem to accuse you
Oh
What have you done to earn this prize?
The flesh underneath candy-pink
Quite a strange affair you might think
They gasp and moan for air
Beached fish on your lawn-chair
These girls you have loved are slowly decaying
Ah / Drying out in the sun before your eyes
Wild stares in your face they seem to accuse you
Oh
What have you done to earn this prize?
Fragments left at the end of the day
A pile of blue that is soon swept away
Goodbye, blue girls, goodbye
Would it be too much to cry?
These girls you have loved
have slowly decayed
Ah
They dried out in the sun before your eyes
Wild stares in your face
they seem to accuse you
Oh

I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love
I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love
Am I loving the girl or the feeling I feel?
Is it just the idea that I like or is it for real?
I recall a special friend, I invited her home for tea
And while my mother cooked a meal she was under the table with me
I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love
I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love
These ideas that I have remain fixed in my head
Only the characters change
it's someone else there instead
One day we went down to the park to feed the ducks some bread
Foul fowls wouldn't touch a scrap so we jumped in the duckpond instead
I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love
I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love

Hey
you're treading on my life
You're leaving marks, but that's alright
In a year or so, I'll look back and I'll smile
These things last only for a while
In many ways
this is a waste of time
what will become of it all?
I make you cry
know you in crowded streets
not what I wanted at all
Then what else could I do instead of thinking about you?
Pleasure now will justify our love
See, I even call it "love"
In many ways there's nothing I'd rather do
one kiss makes sense of it all
And what's to come?

Sure you had something to hide
I took your bag and looked inside
I was looking for life
Nothing inside but memories
the same as those I keep with me
I'm still looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
There's more to love than holding hands
but I think that we both understand
it's part of looking for life
I thought so long I couldn't think
but thought was what was hindering me
and now I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
I'm looking for life
