Invisible touch

Well I've been waiting, waiting here so long

But thinking nothing, nothing could go wrong, ooh now I know

She has a built in ability

To take everything she sees

And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her.



She seems to have an invisible touch yeah

She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart

She seems to have an invisible touch yeah

It takes control and slowly tears you apart.



Well I don't really know her, I only know her name

But she crawls under your skin, you're never quite the same, and now I

know

She's got something you just can't trust

It's something mysterious

And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her.



She seems to have an invisible touch yeah

She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart

She seems to have an invisible touch yeah

It takes control and slowly tears you apart.



She don't like losing, to her it's still a game

And though she will mess up your life,

You'll want her just the same, and now I know

She has a built in ability

To take everything she sees

And now it seems I've fallen, fallen for her.



She seems to have an invisible touch yeah

She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart

She seems to have an invisible touch yeah

It takes control and slowly tears you apart.



She seems to have an invisible touch...

I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it's alright

Like a load on your back that you can't see, ooh but it's alright

Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go, get it away from me.



Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh, I'm gonna make it right

Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.



I'm going down, going down, like a monkey, ooh but it's alright

Try to pick yourself up, carry that weight that you can't see,

Don't you know it's alright

It's like a helter skelter, going down and down, round and round

But just get it away from me - oh.



Because tonight, tonight, tonight - oh

We're gonna make it right

Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.



I got some money in my pocket, about ready to burn

I don't remember where I got it, I gotta get it to you

So please answer the phone, cos I keep calling, but you're never home

What am I gonna do

Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh

I'm gonna make it right

Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.



You keep telling me I've got everything, you say I've got everything I

want

You keep telling me you're gonna help me, you're gonna help me, but you

don't

But now I'm in too deep

You see it's got me so that I just can't sleep

Oh get me out of here, please get me out of here

Just help me I'll do anything, anything

If you'll just help me get out of here.



I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, ooh but it's alright

It's like a load on your back that you can't see,

Ooh don't you know that it's alright

Just try to shake it loose, cut it free, let it go

But just get it away from me

Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh

Maybe we'll make it right

Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.



Please get me out of here

Someone get me out of here

Just help me I'll do anything, anything

If you'll just help get me out of here

Tonight - oh, I'm gonna make it right

Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh.



Yes tonight, tonight, tonight - oh,

Yes I'm gonna make it right, tonight, tonight, tonight - oh...

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams

Been haunted by a million screams

But I can hear the marching feet

They're moving into the street.



Now did you read the news today

They say the danger's gone away

But I can see the fire's still alight

There burning into the night.



There's too many men

Too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Can't you see

This is a land of confusion.



This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make it a place worth living in.



Ooh Superman where are you now

When everything's gone wrong somehow

The men of steel, the men of power

Are losing control by the hour.



This is the time

This is the place

So we look for the future

But there's not much love to go round

Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.



This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make it a place worth living in.



I remember long ago -

Ooh when the sun was shining

Yes and the stars were bright

All through the night

And the sound of your laughter

As I held you tight

So long ago -



I won't be coming home tonight

My generation will put it right

We're not just making promises

That we know, we'll never keep.



Too many men

There's too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Can't you see

This is a land of confusion.



Now this is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make it a place worth fighting for.



This is the world we live in

And these are the names we're given

Stand up and let's start showing

Just where our lives are going to.

All that time I was searching, nowhere to run to, it started me

thinking,

Wondering what I could make of my life, and who'd be waiting,

Asking all kinds of questions, to myself, but never finding the answers,

Crying at the top of my voice, and no one listening,

All this time, I still remember everything you said

There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget.



Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.



So listen, listen to me,

Ooh you must believe me,

I can feel your eyes go thru me,

But I don't know why.



Ooh I know you're going, but I can't believe

It's the way that you're leaving,

It's like we never knew each other at all, it may be my fault,

I gave you too many reasons, being alone, when I didn't want to

I thought you'd always be there, I almost believed you,

All this time, I still remember everything you said, oh

There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget.



Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.



So listen, listen to me,

I can feel your eyes go thru me



It seems I've spent too long

Only thinking about myself - oh

Now I want to spend my life

Just caring bout somebody else.



Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.



You know I love you, but I just can't take this,

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep...

You know,

You decorate the garage walls,

Hang in people's halls,

Live in secret drawers,

If you could look around you,

Wonder what you'd see.



Fiction.

That's all you really are I know,

Editorial dreams.

They can't make you real,

Tell me where you came from,

And where you're going to.



I won't ever, no I'll never get to know her,

Or be the cause of anything she does.

I won't ever, no I'll never get to hold her.

Do you think this aching could be love?



Oh you know,

You've figured in some fantasies.

You would not believe,

What you've had to do,

Life goes on around you and all because of you.



No I won't ever, no I'll never get to know her,

Or be the cause of anything she does.

I won't ever, no I'll never get to hold her.

Do you think this aching could be love?



I won't ever, no I'll never get to know her,

Or be the cause of anything she does.

I won't ever, no I'll never get to hold her.

Do you think this aching could be love?



You know,

That in twenty years or more,

You'll still look the same

As you do today.

You'll still be a young girl,

When I'm old and grey.



No - I won't ever, no I'll never get to know her,

Or be the cause of anything she does.

I won't ever, no I'll never get to hold her.

Do you think this aching could be love?



I won't ever, no I'll never get to know her,

Or be the cause of anything she does.

I won't ever, no I'll never get to hold her.

Do you think this aching could be love? (no you'll never...)

1 - In The Glow Of The Night 





The grey of evening fills the room,

There's no need to look outside,

To see or feel the rain.

Then I reach across to touch her,

But I know that she's not there.

Rain keeps running down the window pane.

Time is running out for me.



Can't you see what you are doing to me?

Can't you see what you have done?

As I try to pass another long and sleepless night,

A hundred crazy voices call my name,

As I try to pass them by,

I almost can believe that she is here,

Here in the glow of the night.



Do you know what you have done?

Do you know what you've begun?

Do you see we shall never be together again?

All of my life.



Lonely people, empty rooms,

Pointless violence, silent tombs.

Could it be that we shall be together again?



Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night,

Only foreign city sirens can cut through,

Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold.

But they can't keep out the chilling sounds.

Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming

That she is here with me?

Here in the glow of the night.



Do you know what you have done?

Do you know what you've begun?

Do you see we shall never be together again?

All of my life.



Lonely people, empty rooms,

Pointless violence, silent tombs.

Could it be that we shall be together again?

Could it be that we shall be together again?



In silence and darkness

We held each other near that night

We prayed it would last forever.





2 - The Last Domino 



Blood on the windows

Millions of ordinary people are there

They gaze at the scenery

They act as if it is perfectly clear

Take a look at the mountains

Take a look at the beautiful river of blood.



The liquid surrounds me

I fight to rise from this river of hell

I stare round about me

Children are swimming and playing with boats

Their features are changing

Their bodies dissolve and I am alone.



Now see what you've gone and done.

Now see what you've gone and done.



Well now you never did see such a terrible thing

As was seen last night on T.V.

Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it again

Such a terrible thing to see - oh

But there's nothing you can do when you're next in line

You've got to go domino.



Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine

I know just what I gotta do

Play the game of happiness and never let on

That it only lives on in a song - oh

Well there's nothing you can do when you're next in line

You've got to go domino.



Do you know what you have done?

Do you know what you've begun?



In silence and darkness

Hold each other near tonight

For will it last forever?

Will it last forever - forever...



There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line

You've got to go domino.



Do you know, do you know, do you know what you have done

Do you see what you've begun?

Cos there's nothing, nothing, nothing

There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do

Do you see, do you see what you have done?

Need I say I love you

Need I say I care

Need I say that emotion's,

Something we don't share

I don't want to be sitting here

Trying to deceive you

Cos you know I know baby

That I don't wanna go.



We cannot live together

We cannot live apart

That's the situation

I've known it from the start

Every time that I look at you

I can see the future

Cos you know I know babe

That I don't wanna go.



Throwing it all away

Throwing it all away

Is there nothing that I can say

To make you change your mind

I watch the world go round and round

And see mine turning upside down

You're throwing it all away.



Now who will light up the darkness

Who will hold your hand

Who will find you the answers

When you don't understand

Why should I have to be the one

Who has to convince you

Cos you know I know baby

That I don't wanna go.



Someday you'll be sorry

Someday when you're free

Memories will remind you

That our love was meant to be

Late at night when you call my name

The only sound you'll hear

Is the sound of your voice calling

Calling after me.



Just throwing it all away

Throwing it all away

There's nothing I can say

We're throwing it all away

Yes we're throwing it all away...
