01. Hello Again (Ric Ocasek)

hello, hello again

you might have forgot
the journey ends
you tied your knots
and you made your friends
you left the scene
without a trace
one hand on the ground
one hand in space

oh you passed on mercy
you tried the rest
you gave your body
you gave your best
stare at the green door
livin' in the sky
you don't wanna know it
you just want to fly

(hello) hello
(hello again)
uh-oo, mm-mm yeah
(hello) hello

who's only just begun

hello (hello)
(hello again)

(hello) ello
(hello again)

oh when there's nothin'
nothin' left to lose
you leave it all
to fade to blue-ue, eah, yeah
[garbled chipmunks]

(you want to feel) electric
(you want to feel) loose
(you want to be) eclectic
you want to call a truce
(look [echo]) at the profile
staring at the flame
(wait [echo]) for the sunshine
standing in the rain

(hello) uh oh
(hello again)
I said hello (hello) hello
(hello again) hello again
I say hello (hello) ello
(hello again) hello again

03. Magic (Ric Ocasek)

Summer...it turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It's like a merry-go-round
I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
High shoes with the cleats a-clickin'
A tempermental glow
But then you let me go
Oh, got a hold on you, got a hold on you, I got a hold on you, tonight
Oh, I got a hold on you, got a hold on you, got a hold on you, that's right

Oh oh it's magic
When I'm with you (Oh-o, it's magic)
Oh oh it's magic, just a little magic (gotta be magic)
You know it's true
I got a hold on you

So twisted...under sideways down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down
I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Til you realize
There's magic in your eyes
I got a hold on you, got a hold on you, got a hold on you, tonight
I got a hold on you...got a hold on you, I got a hold on you, yeah, oh, yeah, huh

Oh oh it's magic
Oh-oh, When I'm with you (Oh-o, it's magic)
Oh oh it's magic (just a little bit...of magic)
Pulls me through
I got a hold on you (BREAK)

I've got a hold on you, I got a hold on you, got a hold on you.. that's right
It's magic
Oh oh it's magic (Oh-o, it's magic)
When I'm with you (Oh-o, it's magic) Oh-oh
Oh oh it's magic (just a little magic, gotta be magic)
Since I'm with you (Oh-o, it's magic)
Oh oh it's magic (takes a little bit o' magic)
That's true, when I'm with you
Oh, oh, it's magic (gotta be magic)
Your magic pulls me through
Oh-o, it's magic
Oh oh it's magic

04. Drive (Ric Ocasek)

Who's gonna tell you when,
It's too late,
Who's gonna tell you things,
Aren't so great.

You cant go on, thinkin',
Nothings' wrong, but bye,
Who's gonna drive you home,
tonight.?

Who's gonna pick you up,
When You fall?
Who's gonna hang it up,
When you call?

Who's gonna pay attention,
To your dreams?
And who's gonna plug their ears,
When you scream?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothings wrong, but bye,
(who's gonna drive you)
(who's gonna drive you)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(who's gonna drive you home)

Who's gonna hold you down,
When you shake?
Who's gonna come around,
When you break?

You can't go on, thinkin',
Nothin's wrong, but bye,
(Who's gonna drive you)
(who's gonna drive you)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(who's gonna drive you home)

Nothin's wrong,
(Who's gonna drive you)
(Who's gonna drive you home)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?

(bye baby)

05. Stranger Eyes (Ric Ocasek)

a-when you took the fall
and then you floated down
and then you took the jump
and you fell through clouds
yeah then you watched the world
beat the crowd

come on ride me high
(stranger eyes)
a-well a-ride me high
(stranger eyes)

yeah you took the fall
and then you landed soft
you thought to yourself
oo well I'm not alone
you with your dark red soul
and your chaperone

come on ride me high
(stranger eyes)
won't you ride me high
(stranger eyes)
come on ride me high
(stranger eyes)

(danger [?] stranger eyes)
stranger eyes

oo well I need your touch
that means so much
oo well I need your touch
cause it means so much
a-ride me high

(danger [?] stranger eyes)

06. You Might Think (Ric Ocasek)

oh well uh you might think I'm crazy
to hang around with you
or maybe you think I'm lucky
to have somethin' to do
but I think that you're wild
inside me is some child

you might think I'm foolish
or maybe it's untrue
(you might think I'm crazy)
you might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
but all I want is you

you might think it's hysterical
but I know when you're weak
you think you're in the movies
and everything's so deep
but I think that you're wild
when you flash that fragile smile

you might think it's foolish
what ya put me through
(you might think I'm crazy)
you might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
all I want is you

and it was hard so hard to take
there's no escape without a scrape
but you kept it going till the sun fell down
you kept it going

oh well uh you might think I'm delirious
the way I run you down
but somewhere sometimes
when you're curious
I'll be back around
oh I think that you're wild
and so-o uniquely styled

you might think it's foolish
this chancy rendezvous
(you might think I'm crazy )
you might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
all I want is you-a-oo
all I want is you
(all I want is you)
all I want is you

07. It's Not the Night (Greg Hawkes, Ric Ocasek)

it's not the night
for foolin'
it's not the night
for crazy eyes

I get the feelin'
you want to stay
I get the feelin'
you're givin' it all away

but I know
I know you take it well
and for you
for you I always fell

it's not the night
(it's not the night)
for, for sweet revenge
it's not the night
(it's not the night)
to spend

the time is right
to take it out
the time is right to tango

got a feelin'
you're runnin' out
before your last fandango

it's not the night
(it's not the night)
for sweet, sweet revenge
it's not the night
(it's not the night)
to spend

it's not the night
for sweet revenge
it's not the night
for tango

I get the feelin'
you're the spark
that's dancin' in the dark

I get the feelin'
you're the one
a rushin' on the run

it's not the night
(it's not the night)
for sweet revenge
it's not the night
(it's not the night)
to spend

it's not the night
(it's not the night)
you're lookin' for sweet, sweet revenge
it's not the night
(it's not the night)
night to end

it's not the night

08. Why Can't I Have You (Ric Ocasek)

a dreamy lips, set in motion, flashing
ah breathless hush, poundin' soft, lasting
oh glossy mouth, a taste untamed, moving
carousel, up and down
just like you

oh baby
just one more time to touch you
just one more time to tell you
you're on my mind
baby, why can't I have you?
you're breakin' my heart in two
you know what I'm goin' through
oh baby, why can't I have you?

Oh candy smile, all the while, glinting
your eyes like mica, a lethal pout, hinting
(felt the pressure)
oo and I felt the pressure, tight and warm, softly striking
(oo tripped and stumbled)
oo I tripped and stumbled
I cling forever
I go all night

oh baby
just one more time to touch you
just one more time to tell you
I'm not so blind
baby, why can't I have you?
always breakin' my heart in two
you know what I'm goin' through
uh oh baby, why can't I have you?

(baby) oh baby (why can't I have you?) why can't I have you?
you know what I'm goin' through
(you're breakin' my heart in two)
you're breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart
(you know what I'm gonna do)
(you're breakin' my heart) breakin' my heart
(baby) oh baby (why can't I have you?) I need you
(you know what I'm goin' through)
you're breakin' my heart (you're breakin' my heart in two)
oh baby, I need you so much, I need you, touch
(you know what I'm gonna do)
(you're breakin' my heart)
(baby) oh baby (why can't I have you?)
(you know what I'm goin' through)

09. I Refuse (Ric Ocasek)

everything's heaven sent
that's what you said and went
inside your fairy glass
somethin' you think will last
and when they crop you like a clown
you got your smile on upside down

b-baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
find 'omebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

and everything's on a whim
that's what you said to him
lyin' in wunderlust
are feelings you never trust
and when they pamper you with ice
I can't believe you don't think twice

uh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

and everyone makes the play
with nothing left much to say
they're all in an endless line
waiting for equal time
they keep screaming it's the truth
and you keep kneelin' in the booth

oh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

oh, I do refuse
(I do refuse)
oh, you got nothin' to lose
(I do refuse)
find somebody else to use
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

I refuse
(I do refuse)
ah, oo-oo
(I do refuse)
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
'cause I refuse to come along

I refuse
(I do refuse)
oo, oh got nothin' to lose
(I do refuse)
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
