Lyrics shown below : "And we danced", "Karla with a K" , "All You Zombies" , "Nervous Night"

And we danced

She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night
She was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight
Well, I could feel her coming from a mile away
There was no use talking, there was nothing to say
When the band began to play and play

CHORUS:
And we danced, like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
Yeah, we danced and danced and danced

I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall
She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls
But when I saw her smile across a crowded room
Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon
As the band began to play out of tune

CHORUS
And we danced

The endless beat, she's walking my way
Hear the music fade when she says
Are we getting too close, do we dare to get closer
The room is spinning as she whispers my name

CHORUS

And danced and danced and danced and danced...

Karla with a K

freedom has its ups and downs
walk the streets of lonesome town
try to find some company
somebody who will talk to me

well I'm here all alone
a wind blows home
we'll find it someday
there's no reason to cry
for days gone by
oh, karla, we can make it if we try

hurricanes and cadillacs
they run you down and don't look back
oh where can my salvation be
a tender touch to comfort me

but I'm here all alone...

no matter how the wind may blow
you belong to me
like the mountains to the sky
and you know when I close my eyes
you're the one I see
oh, karla, we can make it if we try

old man river's on the rise
wash the circles from my eyes
hurricane is on its way
you can call it karla
karla with a K



All You Zombies

Holy Moses met the Pharaoh
Yeah, he tried to set him straight
Looked him in the eye, "let my people go"

Holy Moses on the mountain
High above the golden calf
Went to get the Ten Commandments
He's just gonna break them in half

All you zombies hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The pieces gonna fall on you

No one ever spoke to Noah
They all laughed at him instead
Working on his ark, working all by himself

Only Noah saw it coming
Forty days and forty nights
Took his sons and daughters with him
Yeah they were the Israelites

All you zombies hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The rain's gonna fall on you

Holy Father, what's the matter
Where have all your children gone
Sitting in the dark, living all by themselves
You don't have to hide anymore

All you zombies show your faces...



Nervous Night

Nervous night/time on my hands
Private invasion of the promised land
Two on the run/that's you and me
Maybe we can make it through this emergency

Oh, nervous night
African queen, we said so many things we didn't mean
Maybe another day, maybe it'd be alright
Oh, nervous night

Right outside/shiny and clean
A million vegetables I must be dreaming on my
window ledge/can I crawl through
Look out, look out below, I'm coming for you

Oh nervous night...

I try to speak/my senses fail
But you're just laughing while the sirens wail
All around the world in the Globe Hotel
If Isabella has her way it's gonna be a nervous day as well...

Oh, nervous night
