[No lyrics]

You can't believe your eyes, the lines that show;
The mirror doesn't lie, you're growin' old.
The love, the love, the love you thought would last a lifetime is growin' cold.
You're the one who had to run and hold the fire (whoa).
You were hot and always got your one desire (whoa).
Now you say your hands are shakin',
Now you say your heart is breakin',
Now you've got a funny feelin' nothin' lasts forever, hold the fire.
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Gotta hold on
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire)

You said you'd never change, you were born to fly.
But, now you're feelin' strange and you don't know why.
The time, the time, the time you'd thought would last forever has left you dry.
You're the one who had to run and hold the fire (whoa).
You were hot and always got your one desire (whoa).
Peace and love you once called freedom;
You ain't sure you're still believin',
Now you've got a funny feelin' nothin' lasts forever, hold the fire.
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Gotta hold on
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Hold the fire.

(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Hold on
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire.
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Hold the fire
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Hold on, hold on
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Hold the fire
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Just hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Oh
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire)
(You were hot and always got your one desire)

It don't stop, it just keeps on goin' just like a rock but there ain't no slowin' it down.
On the street all the noise keeps growin'. It don't stop, it just keeps on goin'

I look up in the sky. I see creation about a trillion miles away.
You an me sittin' here, a small conversation; what the hell we got to say?
Well, if you want the truth, better change the station; just let the music play. 'Cause
It don't stop, it just keeps on goin' just like a rock but there ain't no slowin' it down.
On the street all the noise keeps growin'. It don't stop, it just keeps on goin'

Lookin' for a place to hide and drink my coffee; any little place that I can find.
And if I come to you, will you speak softly, and be a friend of mine?
If you see a monkey on my back, will you take him off me before I'm out of time? 'Cause
It don't stop, it just keeps on goin' just like a rock but there ain't no slowin' it down.
On the street all the noise keeps growin'. It don't stop, it just keeps on goin'

You say you wanna be president and save the nation; you say you've got a plan.
Well, God bless you, I hope you do. Congratulations! Just take it like a man.
Well, as for me, I'll just be sittin' over here waitin' for the Lamb. 'Cause
It don't stop, it just keeps on goin' just like a rock but there ain't no slowin' it down.
On the street all the noise keeps growin'. It don't stop, it just keeps on goin'

(Tonight, you're mine.)
(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
Take me so far away. I don't care any more.
Can't hear a word you say. I just wanna love you some more.
Girl, when you're next to me and you're holdin' me tight, you are the best for me.
Love's right in my face. It's so close I can taste it. It's love and that makes it alright.
I don't know where it's goin'. My weak side is showin'.
Baby, I didn't mean to love you, Amy, baby, I do.

(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
Streamin' like fireflies, we light up the night
Flyin' through paradise and aren't we a beautiful sight? Ooh.
When you do love with me, I'm a movie star: street lights and fantasy.
I love lookin' at you and watchin' a natural angel, cause that's who you are.
I don't know where it's goin'. My feelings are flowin'.
Baby, what else can I do? Amy, baby, I love you.

(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)

I see you standing in the alleys and the hallways
(Wait a second)
You're gone now
I run to touch you, but you vanish through the doorway
And, oh, how
Hard it is to live without you
I love everything about you
Now I know you're really gone
But my imagination is so strong
That I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh, yeah, oh, want to be by my side
Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time
(Wait a second)

Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see

So I keep walking through the alleys and the hallways
Where are you?
I keep remembering the kissing in the doorways
The car, too
How it all comes back to me
The movies every Saturday
The place we used to go to eat
I want so much to have it like it used to be
That I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh, yeah, oh, want to be by my side
Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time
(Here it comes again)

Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see

Just a mirage, that's all you are to me
Just a mirage, something that I only see
Just a mirage, that's all you are to me
Just a mirage, something that I only see
