(J. Wiedlin/T. Hall)
Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well that's no surprise
Can you see them
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Careless talk
Through paper walls
We can't stop them
Only laugh at them
Spreading rumors
So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld
Just like some precious pearl
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed
There's a weapon
We must use
In our defense
Silence
When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when you'll be feared
Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies
. . .

See the people walking down the street
Fall in line just watching all their feet
They don't know where they wanna go
But they're walking in time
They got the beat
They got the beat
Yeah
They got the beat
See the kids just getting out of school
They can't wait to hang out and be cool
Hang around 'til quarter after twelve
That's when they fall in line
Kids got the beat
They got the beat
They got the beat
Yeah
Kids got the beat
Go-Go music really makes us dance
Do the Pony puts us in a trance
Do the Watusi just give us a chance
That's when we fall in line
We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
Yeah
We got the beat
Everybody get on your feet
We know you can dance to the beat
Jumpin' - get down
Round and round and round

(Caffey/Valentine)
Been running so long
I've nearly lost all track of time
In every direction
I couldn't see the warning signs
I must be losin' it
'Cuz my mind plays tricks on me
It looked so easy
But you know looks sometimes deceive
Been running so fast
Right from the starting line
No more connections
I don't need any more advice
One hand's just reaching out
And one's just hangin' on
It seems my weaknesses
Just keep going strong
CHORUS
Head over heels
Where should I go
Can't stop myself
Outta control
Head over heels
No time to think
Looks like
The whole world's out of sync
Been running so hard
When what I need is to unwind
The voice of reason
Is one I left so far behind
I waited so long
So long to play this part
And just remembered
That I'd forgotten about my heart
CHORUS
. . .

(Caffey/Wiedlin)
If you get up and walk away
Leave the past behind
Go ahead and take a ride
No telling what you'll find
The words you say don't mean a thing
They fly right by my eyes
Lookin the mirror don't look at me
Maybe then you'll realize
CHORUS
So get up and go
If you're so tired of moving slow
I was on the inside
Looking out for you
But you're the one to make the change
There's nothing I can do
Now's the time for you to move
Actions shout out loud
So cut the talk and move your feet
Cuz words get lost in crowds
CHORUS
Quit talking
Start walking now
. . .

(Valentine/Caffey/Wiedlin)
Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine
that you won't be in
When you looked at me I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should've known all along
that time would tell
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet
CHORUS
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone
A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet
CHORUS

(Caffey/Carlisle)
Dance to the poetry
It's gonna be just you and me
We'll groove on that groovy beat
It'll be boss keen neat yeah
The gang they'll all be there
Join the fun and don't be a square
We'll lipsync a go-go
Just like the Lloyd Thaxton show yeah
CHORUS
Beatnik Beach
It's really neat
Limbo down
Hit the ground

Put on your black beret too
Join all us beatniks
Nothing better could happen to you yeah
CHORUS

(Schock/Valentine)
I can't seem to stop the music
All those familiar sounds
My thoughts cut in on partners
Dancin' in their empty arms
Tangled up in the lives of others
That don't make any sense
Lost looks in the eyes of lovers
Their sins are innocent
Don't you stop to wonder
What's goin' wrong
When everything you've ever loved
Has come and gone
You thought and never told me
You thought but that won't hold me
So much was left unspoken
Held in a heart now broken
Situations all invented
A million in your head
How come you keep repeating
Each word you ever said
You thought and never questioned
You thought and kept me guessing
Too much was left unspoken
You thought a bit too late this time
. . .

(Valentine/Harvey/Carter)
What you think of me is hard to tell
Double talkin' words that I can't spell
I don't want to read between your lies
Love comes easy when you close your eyes
You always run away with words
You're never seen once you've been heard
CHORUS
I'm the only fool
That's as big a fool as you
Got the only heart
And it beats as hard as yours
I'm the only one you run to
The one you come to
The only one you can get to
I'm the only one-only one for you
Only one for you
There's no need to play this silly game
No one wins and nothing's ever gained
You'd think by now that maybe you would see
But you're as blind to love as you are to me
I'm all for one, you're one for all
I got the only number you should call
CHORUS
. . .

(C. Caffey/J. Wiedlin)
We all know the chosen toys
Of catty girls and pretty boys
Make up that face
Jump in the race
Life's a kick in this town
Life's a kick in this town
CHORUS
This town is our town
It is so glamorous
Bet you'd live here if you could
And be one of us
Change the lines that were said before
We're all dreamers - we're all whores
Discarded stars
Like worn out cars
Litter the streets of this town
Litter the streets of this town
. . .

(C. Caffey/J. Wiedlin)
It used to be fun was in
The capture and kill
In another place and time
I did it all for thrills
Love me and I'll leave you
I told you at the start
I had no idea that you
Would tear my world apart
And you're the one to blame
I used to know my name
But I've lost control of the game
'Cause even though I set the rules
You've got me acting like a fool
When I see you I lose my cool
Lust to love
Was the last thing I was dreaming of
And now all I want is just to love
Lust turned to love
That was when the fun was in
The capture and the kill
In another place and time
I did it all for thrills
Love me and I'll leave you
I told you at the start
I had no idea that you
Would tear my world apart
. . .

(Wiedlin/Valentine/Caffey)
He's crying inside
Can't tear the hurt out
Life's rushing by
Like and old movie backdrop
The radio's blasting
Song after song
About the big romance
That went all wrong
CHORUS
She says:
I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you
He says:
Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be
Such a mercenary
She's scheming inside
Can't stop the wheels turning
Been through it before
There's no profit or learning
She's not really bad
Just a gold-plated heart
So scared to be alone
It rips her apart
CHORUS
. . .

(C. Caffey/J. Wiedlin)
Every night I see you walk
Walking by, walking by
You hold your head so close to hers
I could cry, yeah, I could cry
I want to be that girl tonite
Girl tonite, girl tonite
CHORUS
How much more can I take
Before I go crazy, oh yeah
How much more heartache
Before I go crazy, oh yeah
Love's in your eyes
Making me cry
Why isn't it me?
She's looking good
Just like I would
If it could be me
CHORUS
. . .

(Caffey/Wiedlin)
You act so tough
But I know what you're doing
You think falling in love
Means falling to ruin
You build your walls so high
You act your life out all alone
You don't want to let me see
That your heart's not made out of stone
CHORUS
There may be some explanation
Why you feel the way you do
The world makes its rotations
But I just want to turn to you
Come on let me turn to you
Please let me turn to you
Why not let me turn to you
Just want to turn to you
It has a lot to do
With the fist time that we met
The wild dance in your eyes
Made up for what was never said
Gotta get my message
Stop spending all our precious time
Stop spending all our precious time
Because before you know it
We'll be down to our last dime
CHORUS
