01. Leave or Stay (Ric Ocasek)
well, I stood beside the rain today
and twisted out my shirt
and she's a cooly you could say
when she gets down in the dirt
she puffs her pillow up so high
it's like she's hanging in the sky
she claims it was a crazy guy
who taught her how to hurt
yeah kept her so alert
I felt so under sideways down
when she showed me all her prints
I could not help but feel confused
when she threw that heavy hint
oh she pulled out all her magazines
she spread them out like chocolate dreams
her eyes were shooting dagger beams
she changed into her silk
I stood there drinking milk
well I could leave or stay
makes no difference either way
she said don't listen to her words
as if they were all dead
she said she never made decisions
but the last thing that she said
just before she turned the bed
she said well I could leave or stay
makes no difference either way
o.k.
well I could leave or stay
02. You Are the Girl (Ric Ocasek)
Why don't you dream anymore?
What's in the way?
How come you point to the door
And ask me to stay?
Why don't you flash that smile
Like you used to do?
Why don't you stay for a while?
Oh well it's up to you 'cause
You are the girl
That keeps me up at night
You are the girl
That makes me feel all right
You are the girl
Well you give me a twirl
You are the girl
In my dreams
Why don't you talk anymore?
What did I say?
How is it what I came for
Is floating away?
Why don't you flash that smile
Like you used to do?
Why don't you stay for awhile?
Oh well it's up to you 'cause
You are the girl
That keeps me up at night
You are the girl
That makes me feel all right
You are the girl (you are the girl)
Well you give me a twirl
You are the girl (you are the girl)
You are the girl in my dreams
Why don't you dream anymore?
What's in the way?
How come you point to the door
And you ask me to stay?
Why don't you flash that smile
Like you used to do?
Why don't you stay for awhile?
Oh 'cause it's up to you oh
You are the girl
That keeps me up at night
You are the girl
That makes me feel all right
You are the girl (you are the girl)

03. Double Trouble (Ric Ocasek)
They got a line on you,

Cherry lips, and delirious eyes.

And you come to town,
Double trouble,

04. Fine Line (Ric Ocasek)
how would i know about your life
how about a long night
how do you follow the sun
how do you stay under the thumb
there's a fine line between us
such a fine fine line
there's a fine line between us
and it's always on my mind
what can you say to make me realize
the full moon in your eyes
you probably know now that you're waking up
you still feel shaken up
there's a fine line between us
all the way
there's a fine line between us
can't waste another day
they take you in their arms and whisper
what you want to hear don't you fall
they show you all their charms and whisper
don't you shed a tear don't you fall
05. Everything You Say (Ric Ocasek)
they can't stop you in the night
twirling wildly in the light
but i know honey it won't take long
feels like it's one on one on one
there must have been a dream in you
stick and fall and follow through
but i know honey it won't take long
feels like it's much too strong too strong
but then you tell me that you can't go on
and you think you're losing sight
don't you worry
you can't go wrong inside
everything you say
leaves me full of shine
everything you say
crosses up my mind
that's everything you say
you could twist a little while
lie there fallin for a smile
but i know honey you won't give in
feels like when you begin you're in
then you tell me that you can't resist
something happens that you like
you want to know
that you've been kissed goodnight
when you know it's not for real
i know honey for one long time
it feels like you're endlessly entwined
but i know it's what you did
you can't be in a broken binge
take my heart is only tin
06. Ta Ta Wayo Wayo (Ric Ocasek)
hot sun in the city
the symphony is clear
the girls are so pretty
post card souvenir
i feel it coming on
hot sun in the city
i feel it coming on
the joints are still ripping
all faces aglow
the hearts are still skipping
ta ta wayo wayo
i feel it coming on
hot sun in the city
i feel it coming on
the transistor beaches
hot tan on white sand
the motel with peaches
it's getting out of hand
i feel it coming on
hot sun in the city
i feel it coming on
07. Strap Me In (Ric Ocasek)
well you took me for a ride
you beat me to the gun
and from the other side
well you came undone
but when you tell me to
I want to give in
just like you want me to
oh oh I'm fallin' through
oh you better strap me in
all night long
you got to strap me in
all night long
got to strap me in
all night long
all all all night long
well you took me by the way
and you showed me what is fun
just like a ricochet
uh back you come
and when you tell me to
I want to give it
just like you want me to
oh oh I'm falling through
uh you better strap me in
all night long
you better strap me in
all night long
you better strap me in
all night long
all all all night long
all night then [?]
uh
well you took me for a ride
uh you beat me to the gun
and from the other side
oh well you came undone
and when you tell me to
I want to give in
just like you want me to
oh oh I'm fallin' through
oh better strap me in
all night long
you better strap me in
all night long
strap me in
all night long
all all
well you better strap me in
strap me in
strap me in
all night long
[repeat, fade]
08. Coming Up You (Ric Ocasek)
how could they leave you standing
holding on to the air
never a hope of landing
didn't they know you cared
you're finding out
it's never quite like it seems
you're finding out
it's never quite like it dreams
didn't you get connected
when things were still upside down
feeling somewhat neglected
turning the tide around
it keeps coming up you again
you're never to hard to find
it keeps coming up you again
they're taking up all your time
it keeps coming up you
coming up you again
however you want to take it
with streamers of violet
if only you could forsake it
it stifles your etiquette
09. Wound Up on You (Ric Ocasek)
took me long enough to find you
took me long enough to get you there
sometimes i feel like the sunshine lost
and i look for the crumbs you toss
took me long enough to get past your eyes
took me long enough to tranquilize
when you'd be laughing inside the storm
i can still feel your mouth so warm
you'll be back when you need someone
you'll pretend it was just for fun
i'm so wound up on you
i'm so wound up on you
i'm so wound up on you
and i'm easy when you need me
took me long enough to get over
took me long enough to figure out
you never meant to stay around
you never meant to be losing ground
here she comes with that tip toe walk
and she's ready just to have a talk
10. Go Away (Greg Hawkes, Ric Ocasek)
well I think of you when I fantasize
the best I ever had
and I think of you when I'm drivin'
myself completely mad
(why don't we go)
why don't we go away?
(why don't we go)
why don't we go away?
walkin' on the footbridge
high above the clouds
listenin' to your yesterday
didn't make a sound
dazzled by your sweet lips
touchin' on me
here comes trouble
can't you see?
(why don't we go)
(why don't we go)
why don't we go away?
(why don't we go)
(why don't we go)
why don't we go away?
well I think of you when I dramatize
the things we never did
and I think of you when I'm flyin'
or when I'm feelin' just like a kid
(why don't we go)
(why don't we go)
why don't we go away?
(why don't we go)
(why don't we go)
why don't we go away?
(why don't we go)
(why don't we go)
why don't we go away?
(why don't we go)
(why don't we go)
why don't we go away?
(why don't we go away?)
(why don't we go away?)
11. Door to Door (Ric Ocasek)
all us angels wearing studs
yeah, plastic mouth melts in the sun
oo, running colors everyone
cause we're all in prison having fun
oh, perfect pictures hang around
well, delusions swing you up and down
well fall out windows climb up trees
I'm lookin' for tranquillity

03. You Might Think (Ric Ocasek)
oh well uh you might think I'm crazy
to hang around with you

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

10. Let's Go (Ric Ocasek)
She's driving away with the dim lights on
She's making a play and she can't go wrong
She never waits too long
She's winding them down on her clock machine
And she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire
CHORUS
And I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, let's go
I like the nightlife baby
She says, I like the night life baby
She says, let's go
She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse
She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes
She never likes to choose

12. 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

You know it's true

So twisted...under sideways down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down

Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it

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

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

the way I run you down
but somewhere sometimes
when you're curious
I'll be back around

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)

and happy days

as long as Jacki's
back in town=85hmm
I'm glad you made it
I can't complain
