There's a kid in a band
Got an axe in his hand
He's been learning all the chords
and he's writing all the words
Today you bought a new face
Tried it on for size
Now you see the world through
Different coloured eyes
They're not playing
They're not playing
They're just having
Adventures in modern recording
Adventures in modern recording
Adventures in modern recording
So carefully directed
For modern mass appeal
Look just like a poster
Got yourself a deal
Let's begin promotion
This boy has got it made
Media exposure
It will make him all the rage
But he's not playing
He's not playing
He's just having
Adventures in modern recording
Adventures in modern recording
Adventures in modern recording

All will be revealed before the next move
All will be revealed before the next move
Gimme some juice and let me blow
Tell that joker where to go
Gimme some air and let me breathe
Wake me when it's time to leave
I was a Beatnik
A shark tooth fin and a Chevrolet
A wild boy takes it all the way
No more Charlie it's my throat
Send the bell-boy for my coat
I was a Beatnik
All will be revealed before the next move
All will be revealed before the next move
I got to see you one more time
Show you to a friend of mine
Poor white man on an asian beat
An exis kid with a graceful streak
I was a Beatnik
No more from Charlie
No more from Cole
No more expresso
I was a Beatnik
All will be revealed before the next move
All will be revealed before the next move
No more expresso...

My heart is an alligator
Better watch your step - watch your step
This heat is an incubator
Make a diamond sweat - wanna bet
Live life like you're flying solo
Never in the net - in the net
Dancing in silence the orchestra late
In the Essoldo or down by the lake
I don't care
Take me to Vermilion Sands
Hold me in familiar hands
Take me to Vermilion Sands
Sandyacht on a thermal roller
We were never there - never there
Live life like you're flying solo
Never in the air - in the air
Dancing in silence the orchestra late
In the Essoldo or down by the lake
I don't care
Take me to Vermilion Sands
Hold me in familiar hands
Take me to Vermilion Sands
My heart is an alligator
Better watch your step - watch your step
This heat is an incubator
Make a diamond sweat - wanna bet
Take me to Vermilion Sands
Hold me in familiar hands
Take me to Vermilion Sands

Memories how they fade so fast
Look back there is no escape
Tied down now you see too late
Lovers they will never wait
I am a camera
I am a camera
Take heart I will never let you go
If you wanna let your feelings show
Lovers all how they never broke your heart
You lose them if the feeling starts
I am a camera, camera, camera
I am a camera, camera, camera
There by the waterside
Here where the lens is wide
You and me by the sea
Taken in tranquility
Take heart I will never let you go
If you wanna let your feelings show
Lovers all how they never broke your heart
You lose them if the feeling starts
I am, I am a camera
I am a camera, I am a camera
I am, I am a camera
I am a camera,I am a camera
There by the waterside
Here where the lens is wide
You and me by the sea

In your houses late at night
Sit down cosy, kill that light
Watch a movie, watch a fight
Feeling safe as well you might
When you dream in black and white
It can only happen
On TV, on TV
In the bathroom in your bed
Wall to wall we're in your head Finger on remote control
We are wired to your soul
We got idols we got dreams
It can only happen
On TV
On TV
On TV
We got idols we got dreams
Keep your eyes fixed on the screen
Squeeze your life there in between
On TV
On TV
On TV, TV, TV
Ecstasy for you and me
Here at home on your TV
TV TV TV
Turning up the volume 'cos it's blowing up your head
Look at your eyes they're going red
Turn it on!
Turn it off!
Turn it on!
Turn it off!

Here with a suitcase in my hand
I walk the street to find a fortune teller
But when the future's in your palm
They read it like a book that lasts forever
Makes you run
One last train for the inner city
Run
You I know are like the rest
You're holding on with all the best intentions
But tear the fabric off your nest
You'll find the eggs have gone
and no one mentions
How you run
One last train for the inner city
Run
One last train for the inner city
Here in the sun
There on the sand
Falling like angels
You hold out your hand
Turn on
Hold out
We will be there
In the end
Run
One last train for the inner city
Run
One last train for the inner city
Run
One last train for the inner city
Run

[not in "Walking on Glass":] Lenny!
All the fools who await your return
May we tell them the truth?
There's no way you can turn back the clock
Never cling to your youth
How unfortunate it must have been
Life is only a race
You're so old that it might take a crane
Just to lift back your face
Scientific, so scientific
Scientific, so scientific
But you were walking on glass
How unstable we bolt with the horse
Setting music to muscle
And the fallers will litter the course
As we run to the castle
Scientific, so scientific
Scientific, so scientific
But you were walking on glass
Careful - you're walking on glass
You're walking on glass
Careful - you're walking on glass
When you say that the sun does not move
Did it show you the answer?
When the ships do not fall off the world
Does it mean there's a wall there?
Ah-ah...
He said the sun does not move
(Careful...) He could be walking on glass
He could see that the earth was a mover
But the sun was a mother
But he was walking on glass

Run
Run for shelter
Hide from the wind
Further on
We may help you
In the end
Sun
Sun as always
Will guard where you lay
And the walls are down
And the waters drown
Where you stay
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for the Rainbow Warrior
So
Son of logic
Boy born of light
Is the picture drawn
Is the harvest one
Step away
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for the Rainbow Warrior

I've been seen with the captain's daughter
Someone pushed me into the water
Here I go again
A-ahh...
No more tea for the broken-hearted
Someone pushed and the engine started
Here we go again
A-ahh...
Ask my shadow
Learn to fade away
Ask my shadow
Learn to fade away
Lala-lala-lala-lala-lala-la

Sing!
Nylon, sing for me

The love to bring to you
So I must sing to you
All in blue

Say it's true

In blue
Blue nylon, blue
Blue nylon, blue
Blue nylon, blue
Sing!
Nylon, sing for me
Make it blue
