Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn´t go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

CHORUS
I don´t need you to worry for me cause I´m alright
I don´t want you to tell me it´s time to come home
I don´t care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don´t get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time

They will tell you you can´t sleep alone
In a strange place
Then they´ll tell you you can´t sleep
With somebody else
But sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way it´s okay
You wake up with yourself

CHORUS
-----------------------------------------------------------

You went uptown riding in your limousine
In your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don´t come bitchin´ to me

Because you had to be a big shot, didn´t you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn´t you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything´s about
You and to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night

They were all impressed with your Halston dress
And the people you knew at Elaine´s
And the story of your latest success
Kept ´em so entertained
But now you jsut can´t remember
All the things you said
And you´re not sure you want to know
I´ll give you one hint, honey
You sure did put on a show

Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn´t you
You had to prove it to the crowd
You had to be a big shot, didn´t you
All your friends were so knocked out
You hand to the last word, last night
You´re so much fun to be around
You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night

Well, it´s no big sin to stick your two cents in
If you know when to leave it alone
But you went over the line
You couldn´t see it was time to go home
No, no, no, no, no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn´t you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn´t you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
So much fun to be around
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
-------------------------------------------------------------

If you search for tenderness
It isn´t hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give

CHORUS
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honest is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don´t want some pretty face
To tell me party lies
All I want is someone to believe

CHORUS

I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
Until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again
I know, I know

When I´m deep inside of me
Don´t be too concerned
I won´t as for nothin´ while I´m gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Because you´re the one I depend upon

CHORUS
------------------------------------------

Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I´m sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun,
wasn´t hurting anyone,
and we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I´ve been starnded in the combat zone,
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone,
even rode my motercycle in the rain
and you told me not to drive,
but I made it home alive,
so you said that only proves that I´m insane.

CHORUS:
You may be right
I may be crazy
but it just may be a lunatic you´re looking for

turn out the lights, don´t try to save me
you may be wrong, for all I know,
but you may be right

Remember how I found you there
alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man,
I said "take me as I am"
´Cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile

Now think of all the years you tried to
find someone to satisfy you
I might be as craxy as you say
If I´m crazy then it´s true,
that it´s all because of you
and you wouldn´t want me any other way.

CHORUS

it´s too late to fight,
it´s too late to change me
you may be wrong for all I know
but you may be right.

(fade to end)
you may be wrong but you may be right

You have to learn to pace yourself
Pressure
You´re just like everybody else
Pressure
You´ve only had to run so far
So good
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face
And you´ll have to deal with
Pressure
You used to call me paranoid
Pressure
But even you can not avoid
Pressure
You turned the tap dance into your crusade
Now here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle pressure
All grown up and no place to go
Psych 1, Psych 2
What do you know
All your life is Channel 13
Sesame Street
What does it mean
Pressure
Pressure
Don´t ask for help
You´re all alone
Pressure
You´ll have to answer
To your own
Pressure
I´m sure you´ll have some cosmic rationale
But here you are in the ninth
Two men out and three men on
Nowhere to look but inside
Where we all respond to
Pressure
Pressure
All your life is Time Magazine
I read it too
What does it mean
Pressure
I´m sure you´ll have some cosmic rationale
But here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle pressure
Pressure, pressure
One, two, three, four
Pressure

Well we´re living here in Allentown
And they´re closing all the factories down
Out in Bethlehem they´re killing time
Filling out forms
Standing in line
Well our fathers fought the Second World War
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
Met our mothers in the USO
Asked them to dance
Danced with them slow
And we´re living here in Allentown
But the restlessness was handed down
And it´s getting very hard to stay
Well we´re waiting here in Allentown
For the Pennsylvania we never found
For the promises our teachers gave
If we worked hard
If we behaved
So the graduations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No they never taught us what was real
Iron and coke
And chromium steel
And we´re waiting here in Allentown
But they´ve taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled away
Every child has a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
They threw an American flag in our place
Well I´m living here in Allentown
And it´s hard to keep a good man down
But I won´t be getting up today
And we´re living here in Allentown

We met as soul mates
On Parris Island
We left as inmates
>From an asylum
And we were sharp
As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho
To lay down our lives
We came in spastic
Like tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
And we learned fast
To travel light
Our arms were heavy
But our bellies were tight
We had no home front
We had no soft soap
They sent us Playboy
They gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep
And shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ
With all our might
We had no cameras
To shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe
And played our Doors tapes
And it was dark
So dark at night
And we held on to each other
Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we´d write
And we would all go down together
We said we´d all go down together
Remember Charlie
Remember Baker
They left their childhood
On every acre
And who was wrong
And who was right
It didn´t matter in the thick of the fight
We held the day
In the palm
Of our hand
They ruled the night
And the night
Seemed to last as long as six weeks
On Parris Island
We held the coastline
They held the highlands
And they were sharp
As sharp as knives
They heard the hum of our motors
They counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive
And we would all go down together
We said we´d all go down together
Yes we would all go down together

Listen boy
Don´t want to see you let a good thing
Slip away

You know I don´t like watching
Anybody make the same mistakes
I made

She´s a real nice girl
And she´s always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn´t tell you what you should do

Listen boy
I´m sure that you think you got it all
Under control

You don´t want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone´s soul

You´re a big boy now
You´ll never let her go
But that´s just the kind of thing
She ought to know

Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept
That you´re for real

Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means

Listen boy
It´s not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
You´ve got to provide communication constantly

When you love someone
You´re always insecure
And there´s only one good way
To reassure

Tell her about it
Let her know how much you care
When she can´t be with you
Tell her you wish you were there

Tell her about it
Every day before you leave
Pay her some attention
Give her something to believe

Cause now and then
She´ll get to worrying
Just because you haven´t spoken
For so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she´s gone

Listen boy
It´s good information from a man
Who´s made mistakes

Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes

She´s a trusting soul
She´s put her trust in you
But a girl like that won´t tell you
What you should do

Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
To accept that you´re for real

Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means

Tell her about it
Tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it
The girl don´t want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won´t go wrong
You got to tell her about it
Before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it
You know the girl don´t want
To wait--you got to
Tell her about it

Uptown girl
She´s been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why

I´m gonna try for an uptown girl
She´s been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she´s looking for a downtown man
That´s what I am

And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind

She´ll see I´m not so tough
Just because
I´m in love with an uptown girl
You know I´ve seen her in her uptown world
She´s getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She´s got a choice

Uptown girl
You know I can´t afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She´ll understand what kind of guy I´ve been
And then I´ll win

And when she´s walking
She´s looking so fine
And when she´s talking
She´ll say that she´s mine

She´ll say I´m not so tough
Just because
I´m in love
With and uptown girl
She´s been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she´s looking for a downtown man
That´s what I am

Uptown girl
She´s my uptown girl
You know I´m in love
With an uptown girl

My uptown girl
You know I´m in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I´m in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl

Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I´m so inspired by you
That hasn´t happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That´s where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven´t been there for the longest time

Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest
I´m that voice you´re hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn´t happened for the longest time

Maybe this won´t last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I´ve been hoping too hard
But I´ve gone this far
And it´s more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we´ll go on
Maybe I´ll be sorry when you´re gone
I´ll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven´t been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You´re wonderful so far
And it´s more than I hoped for

I don´t care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Im young enough to still see the passionate boy that I used to be

But Im old enough to say I got a good look at the other side

I know we got to work real hard, maybe even for the rest of our lives

But right now I just want to take what I can get tonight

While the night is still young

I want to keep making love to you while the night is still young



Id like to settle down, get married and maybe have a child someday

I can see a time coming when Im gonna throw my suitcase out

No more separations where you have to say goodnight to a telephone

Baby Ive decided that aint what this life is all about, oh

While the night is still young, while the night is still young

I want to try and make the world brand new while the night is still young



Rock and roll music is the only thing I ever gave a damn about

There was something that was missing but I never used to wonder why

Now I know youre the one I need to make things right again

And I may lose the battle but youre giving me the will to try, oh

While the night is still young, because the night is still young

Ive got a lot of catching up Ive got to do while the night is still young

While the night is still young

I want to try and make the world brand new while the night is still young
