Light Up

Light up everybody
Join us in this celebration
Light up and be happy
Sweet, sweet sounds will fill the air

Every day's a holiday when your lips meet mine
The music's keepin' time with our love
You are here, and so am I
The weather's quite divine
So pass me round your wine, lovely one

All I need is just one hit to get me by
'Cause baby when your near I'm halfway high

Light up, everybody
Join us in this celebration
Light up and be happy
Sweet, sweet sounds will fill the air

When I think of Lorelei my head turns all around
As gentle as a butterfly she moves without a sound
I call her on the telephone, she says be there by eight
Tonight's the night she's moving in and I can hardly wait

The way she moves, ooh-ooh-ooh
I gotta say
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
Oh baby forever!

Her eyes become of Paradise, she softly speaks my name
She brightens every lonely night, no one's quite the same
She calls me on the telephone, she says be there by eight
Tonight's the night she's moving in, it's time to celebrate

The way she moves, ooh-ooh-ooh
I gotta say
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars
Baby, baby forever!

Lonely feelings in the city
One room flat with crumbling walls
Sirens play a distant melody
Neon shadows paint the halls

In the thirteen months I've spent here
With my manuscript and rhymes
I've paid in cash for foolish pleasures
Mother dear you'd call them crimes

Raise the roof
Light the lite
Mother dear I'm returning tonight
Now I see
Your concern
Mother dear how you taught me to learn

I been a Roman for survival
Showing two sides of my face
I need the comfort of your wisdom
I'm coming home to your embrace

If by chance I pass before you
Don't discount my gratitude
You're responsible for me here
And of course my attitude

Raise the roof
Light the lite
Mother dear I'm returning tonight
Now I see
Your concern
Mother dear how you taught me to learn

Stayin' up half the night
Wonderin' if what I'm doin' is right
Raise the roof
Light the lite
Mother dear I'm returning tonight

Lonely child you make it easy
You give me love like no one can
You're my heart, you keep me movin'
It seems you always understand
My love, I'm your man

Lonely child you make me happy
You take my fears and set them free
Every night you hold me closer
Like two notes in harmony
Come spend your life with me

Lonely child be my lover
We'll make love in the morning light
Weave your magic spell around me
And come spend your life with me

Gonna get you while you sleep
Give you a dream you can keep
To yourself little mama gonna make you feel better

I'm your mystery man in a gold Lincoln
Ain't no reason to do any second thinkin'
About it child

Midnight ride I'm gonna shake ya
Midnight ride I'm gonna break ya
Midnight ride I'm gonna take you on a
Midnight ride

Meet you little girl back at my hotel
Between you and me we're really gonna give 'em hell

I got something mighty special up my sleeve
All you got to do is just say please

Midnight ride I'm gonna shake ya
Midnight ride I'm gonna break ya
Midnight ride I'm gonna take you on a
Midnight ride

am the thief of the highway
Rich man you better take hold
'Cause last night while you lie sleeping
I came to steal all your gold

All the King's horses
All the King's men
Surrounded the chapel
To trap me within

A Lady in waiting
Lips red with rouge
She offered me pleasures
I could not refuse
No, no, no

For I was born
Born for adventure
Women whisky and sin
No I'll never surrender
Live by the sword till the end

All the King's horses
All the King's men
Were drinking and dancing
At Fezewig's Inn

They spoke of my capture
And of my escape
They called it misfortune
But I called it fate
No, no, no

For I was born
Born for adventure
Women whisky and sin
No I'll never surrender
Live by the sword till the end

Prelude 12

this is an Instrumental number

Time, after time
I sit and I wait for your call
I know I'm a fool but, what can I say
Whatever the price I'll pay
For you
Madame Blue

Once, long ago
A word from your lips
And the world turned around
But somehow you've changed
Your so far away
I long for the past
And dream of the days with you
Madame Blue

You make your own rules
You conquer the world and more
