1. ADAM'S SONG

Nothing's going to harm you now
While I still have a breath in my body
Your intoxicating tenderness
Cannot conceal your nakedness

Nothing's going to harm you girl
You explore my spine with your fingers
And rip away the fabric of our fear
It vanishes when I hold you near

Senses reel in vibrant emotion
Sets my very soul on fire
Rhythm of the heat in fusion electric
Raises every strand of hair

For nothing in this whole wide world
Would I part with my memories of you
Your flowers and your fragrances fresh and clean
Will wash away this crazy dream

I ride the wind collecting stars
All the jewels that litter the heavens
I will number them and place them at your feet
Reforge them in your splendid heat

Though the furies and the ravages rage outside
They'll not invade our bed tonight

Senses reel in vibrant emotion
Sets my very soul on fire
Rhythm of the heat in fusion electric
Raises every strand of hair


2. C'est La Vie

The moment the world's at my feet
Hands come from nowhere to tear up the meat
And force me to eat

Something in my head though
Refuses to allow this to be
If not for you it's conscience to me
Ahh, what're you gonna say?

When you're caught on the wire
Can't get out your only desire
Is paramount you're fueling the fire
Ahh, what're you gonna say?

The moment my feet hit the ground
All felt conceptions come tumbling down
So stay on the ground

Something in my head though
Refuses to allow me to stay
It tells me that it's better that way
Ahh, what're you gonna say?

When you're leaving behind
An empty shell you're lost in a sea
You can't dispel the world from your mind

Ahh, what're you gonna say?
Ahh, what're you gonna say?

C'est la vie
C'est la vie

Something in my head though
Refuses to allow this to be
If not for you it's conscience to me
Ahh, what're you gonna say?

When you're caught on the wire
Can't get out your only desire
Is paramount you're fueling the fire
Ahh, where you gonna go?
Ahh, where you gonna go?
Ahh, what're you gonna say?
What're you gonna say?

C'est la vie


3. ARABS & AMERICANS

Hordes of angry voices rise in unison
Scores of savage human cries assault the brain
(Go away)

All aboard it's the very last trance
Just the routine chants for the one who's trying to make it to America
Feel love too ?

They hear loud and clear
Fearful, hateful cries that are coming from Arabia
It's a mania

We don't care, we don't care anymore
(See a young Iranian scream for the blood of every last American)
We don't care, we don't care anymore
(Don't dare turn your backs on the fury of the mobs and the burning flags)

Abuses are hurled and vengeance spewed
In bored disdain
Such creatures stalk the backs of our armchairs out and once again
Hurl us into violence

Big Ben, news at 10,
Mounting tension viewed from the safety of the living room
Living tomb

Not so far away, all packed tight with a life of television
It's night or day
Ahh, doesn't matter anyway

We don't care, we don't care anymore
(Ring out the old, ring in the new, yesterday's headline yesterday's news)
We don't care, we don't care anymore
(Let's play a guessing game, who is mad and who is sane?)

Brother can't you help us out?
Come on, tell us how you climb so high
Sister can't you help us out?
Come on, teach us how to touch the sky

Such dreams are all we have
But I'm thinking
There's always hope that someone's there to pick up the pieces
Come on brothers help us out,
Come on, come on
Come on, come on

Arabs and Iranians,
So swift to search for a savior
Russians and Americans
Too proud to beg you for favors

Such dreams are all we have
But I'm thinking
There's always hope that someone's left to pick up survivors
Come on brothers help us out,
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on sister help us out
Come on, come on

Arabs and Iranians,
So swift to search for a savior
Russians and Americans
Too proud to beg you for favors
Catholics and Anglicans
So swift to search for a savior
I'm just homo sapien
Pay the bill for their failure


4. ELECTED

I'm your top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice,
I wanna be elected,
I'm your yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce,
I wanna be elected,
Kids want a saviour, don't need a fake,
I wanna be elected,
We're all gonna rock to the rules that I make,
I wanna be elected, elected, elected.

I never lied to you, I've always been cool,
I wanna be elected,
I gotta get the vote, and I told you 'bout school,
I wanna be elected, elected, elected,
Hallelujah, I wanna be selected,
Everyone in the United States of America.

We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm,
We're gonna be elected,
You and me together, young and strong,
We're gonna be elected, elected, elected,
Respected, selected, call collected,
I wanna be elected, elected.

"And if I am elected
I promise the formation of a new party
A third party, the Wild Party!
I know we have problems,
We got problems right here in Central City,
We have problems on the North, South, East and West,
New York City, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles,
Detroit, Chicago,
Everybody has problems,
And honestly, I don't care."
