I'm readyI'm ready for the laughing gasI'm readyReady for what's nextReady to duckReady to diveReady to sayI'm glad to be aliveI'm readyI'm ready for the push
In the cool of the nightIn the warmth of the breezeI'll be crawling aroundOn my hands and knees
She's just down the line ... Zoo StationGot to make it on time ... Zoo Station.
I'm readyReady for the gridlockI'm readyTo take it to the streetReady for the shuffleReady for the dealReady to let goOf the steering wheelI'm readyReady for the crush
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alrightIt's alright ... it's alright ... it's alright ... it's alrightHey baby ... hey baby ... hey baby ... hey baby ...It's alrightIt's alright
Time is a trainMakes the future the pastLeaves you standing in the stationYour face pressed up against the glass
I'm just down the line from your love ... Zoo StationI'm under the sign of your love ... Zoo StationI'm gonna be there ... Zoo StationTracing the line ... Zoo StationI'm gonna make it on time ... make it on time ... Zoo Station
Just two stops down the line ... Zoo StationJust a stop down the line ... Zoo Station

Is it getting better?Or do you feel the same?Will it make it easier on you, now You got someone to blameYou say one love, one lifeWhen it's one need, in the nightOne love, we get to share itIt leaves you, baby, if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?You act like you never had loveAnd you want me to go withoutWell, it's too late, tonightTo drag the past out into the lightWe're one, but we're not the sameWe get to carry each other, carry each otherOne...
Have you come here for forgivenessHave you come to raise the deadHave you come here to play JesusTo the lepers in your headDid I ask too much, more than a lotYou gave me nothing, now it's all I gotWe're one, but we're not the sameWell, we hurt each otherThen we do it again.
You say love is a temple, love a higher lawLove is a temple, love the higher lawYou ask me to enter, but then you make me crawlAnd I can't be holding on, to what you gotWhen all you got is hurt
One love, one bloodOne life, you got to do what you shouldOne life with each other: sisters, brothersOne life, but we're not the sameWe get to carry each other, carry each other.One (lone) One...
Make in it, make in it, higher...

Haven't seen you in quite a whileI was down the hold just passing timeLast time we met was a low-lit roomWe were as close together as a bride and groomWe ate the food, we drank the wineEverybody having a good timeExcept youYou were talking about the end of the world
I took the moneyI spiked your drinkYou miss too much these days if you stop to thinkYou lead me on with those innocent eyesYou know I love the element of surpriseIn the garden, I was playing the tartI kissed your lips and broke your heartYou, you were actingLike it was the end of the world
Love, love, loveLove, loveLove, love, loveLove, love, loveLove, loveLove, love, love
(Love, love, love)In my dream I was drowning my sorrowsBut my sorrows, they learned to swim(Love, love, love)Surrounding me, going down on meSpilling over the brimWaves of regret and waves of joyI reached out for the one I tried to destroyYou, you said you'd waitTill the end of the world

You're dangerous, 'cos you're honest.You're dangerous, you don't know what you want.Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lotFor any spirit to haunt.
You're an accident waiting to happenYou're a piece of glass left there on a beach.Well you tell me thingsI know you're not supposed toThen you leave me just out of reach.
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?Who's gonna ride your wild horses?Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?
Well you stole it 'cos I needed the cashAnd you killed it 'cos I wanted revenge.Well you lied to me 'cos I asked you to.Baby, can we still be friends?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?Who's gonna ride your wild horses?Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?
Ah, the deeper I spinAh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin.Took a drive in the dirty rainTo a place where the wind calls your nameUnder the trees, the river laughing at you and me.Hallelujah! Heaven's white roseThe doors you open I just can't close.
Don't turn around, don't turn around again.Don't turn around your gypsy heart.Don't turn around, don't turn around again.Don't turn around, and don't look back.Come on now love, don't you look back.
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?Who's gonna taste your saltwater kisses?Who's gonna take the place of me?Who's gonna ride your wild horses?Who's gonna tame the heart of thee?

We crossed the lineWho pushed who over?It doesn't matter to youIt matters to me
We're cut adriftBut still floatingI'm only hanging on To watch you go down ... my love
I disappeared in youYou disappeared from meI gave you everything you ever wantedIt wasn't what you wanted
The men who love you, you hate the mostThey pass right through you like a ghostThey look for you, but your spirit is in the airBaby, you're nowhere
Oh loveYou say in love there are no rulesOh love Sweet-heartYou're so cruel
Desperation is a tender trapIt gets you every timeYou put your lips to her lipsTo stop the lie
Her skin is pale like God's only doveScreams like an angel for your loveThen she makes you watch her from aboveAnd you need her like a drug
Oh loveYou say in love there are no rulesOh loveSweet-heartYou're so cruel
She wears my love like a see-through dressHer lips say one thingHer movements something elseOh love, like a screaming flowerLove Dying every hour
And you don't know if it's fear or desireDanger the drug that takes you higher?Head of heavenFingers in the mire
Her heart is racing, you can't keep upThe night is bleeding like a cutBetween the horses of love and lust we are trampledUnderfoot
Oh loveYou say in love there are no rulesOh loveSweet-heartYou're so cruel
Oh loveTo stay with you I'd be a foolOh... sweetheart You're so cruel

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the skyIt's no secret that our world is in darkness tonightThey say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by the moonY' know I don't see you when she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you helpIt's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone elseThey say a secret is something you tell one other personSo I'm telling you, child
Gospel VoiceLove, we shine like aBurning starWe're falling fromThe sky... tonight
Low VoiceA man will begA man will crawlOn the sheer face of loveLike a fly on a wallIt's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pestIt's no secret ambition bites the nails of successEvery artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thiefAll kill their inspiration and sing about the grief
Gospel VoiceLove, we shine like aBurning starWe're falling fromThe sky... tonight
Gospel VoiceLove, we shine like a burning starWe're falling from the sky tonightLove, we shine like aBurning starWe're falling fromThe sky... tonight
Low VoiceA man will riseA man will fallFrom the sheer face of loveLike a fly from a wallIt's no secret at all
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the skyThe universe exploding 'cos-a one man's lieLook I gotta go Yeah, I'm running outta changeThere's a lot of things If I could I'd rearrange

Johnny, take a walk with your sister the moonLet her pale light in to fill up your roomYou've been living underground, eating from a canYou've been running away from what you don't understand
She's slippy, you're sliding downShe'll be there when you hit the ground
It's all right, it's all right, it's all rightShe moves in mysterious waysIt's all right, it's all right, it's all rightShe moves in mysterious ways, oh
Johnny, take a dive with your sister in the rainLet her talk about the things you can't explainTo touch is to heal, to hurt is to stealIf you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneelOn your knees, boy
She's the wave, she turns the tideShe sees the man inside the child
It's all right, it's all right, it's all rightShe moves in mysterious ways, yeahIt's all right, it's all right, it's all rightShe moves in mysterious ways, yeah, oh, ahIt's all right, it's all right, it's all rightLift my days, light up my nights, oh
One day you'll look back, and you'll seeWhere you were held now by this loveWhile you could stand thereYou could move on this momentFollow this feeling
It's all right, it's all right, it's all rightShe moves in mysterious waysIt's all right, it's all right, it's all rightShe moves in mysterious ways, oh
(It's all right, it's all right, it's all right)(She moves in mysterious ways)Move you, spirits move you (It's all right, it's all right, it's all right)Move, spirits move you, oh, yeah (She moves in mysterious ways)Does it move you, she moves with it (It's all right, it's all right, it's all right)Lift my days, and light up my nights, oh

Gonna run to you ... run to you ... run to you... be stillGonna run to you ... run to you ... woman I will
Yeah I dreamed that I saw Dali With a supermarket trolleyHe was tryin' to throw his arms around a girlHe took an open top beetleThrough the eye of a needleHe was tryin' to throw his arms around the world

Sometimes I feel like I don't knowSometimes I feel like checking outI wanna get it wrongCan't always be strongAnd love it won't be long ...
Oh sugar, don't you cryOh child, wipe the tears from your eyesYou know I need you to be strongAnd the day is dark, as the night is longFeel like trashYou make me feel cleanI'm in the blackCan't see or be seen
Baby Baby Baby light my wayAlright now, Baby Baby Baby light my way
You bury your treasureWhere it can't be foundBut your love is like a secretThat's been passed aroundThere is a silence that comes to a houseWhere no-one can sleepI guess it's the price of loveI know it's not cheap
Oh come on, Baby Baby Baby light my wayOh come on, Baby Baby Baby light my wayBaby Baby Baby light my way
I rememberWhen we could sleep on stonesNow we lie together in whispers and moansWhen I was all messed up and I heard opera in my headYour love was a light bulb hanging over my bed
Baby Baby BabyBaby Baby BabyBaby Baby Baby light my way
