All Lyrics

Oh! I meant – Ah!

No, I didn’t mean that at all

Here in the streets of American nights
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Studied all the rules, and I want no part
But I let you in just to break this heart
Even though it was only one night
It was fuckin’ strange

Nina’s in the bedroom
She says, “Time to go now”
But leavin’ it ain’t easy

I’ve got to let go
Oh, I’ve got to let go

And the hours they went to slow
I said every night
She just can’t stop sayin’:
“New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain’t too smart
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain’t too smart”

Just kill me now ’cause I’ll let you down
I swear one day we’re gonna leave this town
“Stop”

Yes, I’m leaving ’cause this just won’t work
They act like Romans, but they dress like Turks
Soft time in your prime
See me, I like the summertime
But…hey

Nina’s in the bedroom
She says, “Time to go now”
But leaving it ain’t easy

Oh, I’ve got to let go
I’ve got to let go

Oh, trapped in an apartment
She would not let them get her
She wrote it in a letter,:
“I’ve got to come clean
The authorities, they’ve seen
Darling, I’m somewhere in between”

I said every night
She just can’t stop sayin’:
“New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain’t too smart
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain’t too smart”

Two can be complete without the rest of the world
Two can be complete without the rest of the world
Do it for the people that have died for your sake
An entire generation that has nothing to say
How’d yoo make your way to me?

Let’s say you made a deal with me
And I got your name and your home address
And you’re all trashed up with your big red belt
I would almost say that you might need help
I could drop you off at the next red light
If it don’t make sense or it don’t feel right

All the girls could never make me love them the way I love you

Can’t you see the sky is not the limit no more?
I can see the elevator crashed the floor
I can still see yesterday sailing away
Seven billion people who got nothing to say
Are you coming on to me?

I saw your face then I heard that song
It was so inviting it hurt my bones
Well it looks like you but your eyes are grey
And your hair is gone but your mind’s okay
Yes I like your smile but your forehead’s cold
I don’t want you to be afraid and go

I would cheat and lie and steal now I’ll stay at home and kneel for you

I was waiting
For my baby, to arrive
Right by my side

Oh please
Leave me alone tonight
Forget the past

Two can be complete without the rest of the world
Oh you know I said it just to get you to laugh
Do it for the people that have died for your sake
An entire generation of entertainers to blame

The light is red
The camera’s on.
Get yourself a lawyer and a gun.
Hate your friend’s new friends like everyone.
Childhood’s end can be so competitive,
Oh sky’s not the limit and your never gonna guess what is…

They love you or they hate you
But they will never let you be
They thrill you or sedate you
But they will never let you see

In the evening sun
In the evening sun

Encourage and deranged you
Watch you walking scared alone
Despite intimidation
Pleased to watch you dance along

In the evening sun
In the evening sun

Go your separate way now
Someday you’ll come back and I’ll be dreaming I was sunburned
I don’t want to break your heart in
Break your heart in two halves
Keep one half and give one half to me
I like the summer – miss the summer
Tell me, what’d you do? Nothing? Me too…

All actors they’re pretending
And singers they sometimes lie
Oh kids are always honest
Cause they don’t think they’re ever gonna die
You’re the prettiest smartest captain of the team
I love you more than being seventeen

In the evening sun
In the evening sun

I think I know what you mean but watch what you say
’cause they’ll be try to knock you down in some way
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?

Your mind would wander and searched for its place in the night
Your body followed this feeling like following light
Once that your music was born it followed you ’round
And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud

You’re sad but you smile
It not in your eyes
Your eyeballs won’t change
It’s the muscles around your eyes

An egg to fertilize
A pulse to stabilize
A body to deodorize
A life to scrutinize
A child to criticize
Young adults to modernize
Citizens to terrorize
Generations to desensitize

You’re dreams are sweet and obsessed
And your overworked
You’re overtaken by visions of being overlooked
How disappointed would D.(ead) I.(dealistic) D.(esperate) I.(nventor) P.(ioneer) P.(hilosophers)
Be to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed
Am I a prisoner to instincts?
Or do my thoughts just live
As free and detached
As boats to the dock?

Just like when music was born
And detached from your heart
Is your free time to free minds
Or for falling apart?

Night after night
You turn out the light
You don’t fall asleep right away
“Are we… are we done?”

A desk to organize
A product to advertise
A market to monopolize
Movie stars you idolize
Leaders to scandalize
Enemies to neutralize
No time to apologize
Fury to tranquilize
Weapons to synchronize
Cities to vapor-i
