Only When You Leave

Laying in the afterglow,
I only want to learn what you know;
But now you’re leaving
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now you’re leaving.
In this world, all that I choose has come unbearable.
But love is in your touch, Oh, it’s killing me so much

Only when you leave, I’ll need to love you
And when the action has all gone,
I’m just a little fool enough to need you,
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you’ll leave in danger,
Oh, I’ll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger,
And take this soul away.

I only want to make things last,
So how could this have gone so fast;
And now you’re leaving.
How many times must I learn
It’s only when you’ve gone that I burn;
Now you’re leaving.
In the end, all that is left has come unbearable.
It’s hard to change your mind, so leave it all behind.

Only when you leave, I’ll need to love you
And when the action has all gone,
I’m just a little fool enough to need you,
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you’ll leave in danger,
Oh, I’ll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger,
And take this soul away.

Laying in the afterglow,
I only want to learn what you know;
But now you’re leaving
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now you’re leaving.
In this world, all that I choose has come unbearable.
But love is in your touch, Oh, it’s killing me so much

Only when you leave, I’ll need to love you
And when the action has all gone,
I’m just a little fool enough to need you,
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave You’ll leave in danger,
Oh, I’ll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger,
And take this soul away.

Highly Strung

This is the song of Little Jo,
She’s not the girl I used to know
Forever screaming all the day and night.
She used to be a diplomat,
But now she’s down the Laundromat,
They washed her mind and now she finds it hard.

I know her name, but now she never seems the same.
She don’t talk to me, cause she can’t take no sympathy.
Because she’s highly strung. Highly strung, she’s undone
Highly strung. Highly strung, she’s undone

She’s stepping out upon the ledge,
She’s got a gun against her head,
She’s wired up to blow the power lines.
She’s walking out upon the knife
She’ll take you to the edge of life
Just like the song, the pressures on again.

I  know her name, but now she never seems the same.
She don’t talk to me, cause she can’t take no sympathy.
Because she’s highly strung. Highly strung, she’s undone
Highly strung. Highly strung, she’s undone
I’ll Fly For You

Passion take the wind and break me from this tie.
We’re mortals on the earth but God’s up in the sky.
I haven’t got a clue. I haven’t got a thing
But what I give to you, is all that I could bring.
I’ll give you all my time. That’s everything to me
You know my only crime. Is this flight of fantasy

Because I've nothing else here for you
And just because it’s easier than the truth
Oh, if there’s nothing else that I can do. I’ll fly for you
Because I’ve nothing else here for you
And just because it’s easier than the truth
Oh, if there’s nothing else that I can do. I’ll fly for you

Passion take the wind and break me from this tie.
We’re mortals on the earth but God’s up in the sky.
I haven’t got a clue. I haven’t got a thing
But what I give to you.Is all that I could bring.

Because I've nothing else here for you
And just because it’s easier than the truth
Oh, if there’s nothing else that I can do. I’ll fly for you
Because I’ve nothing else here for you
And just because it’s easier than the truth
Oh, if there’s nothing else that I can do I’ll fly for you.

I’m just an average boy.You’re more than average girl,
And when you sing to me the shoo-bee-doo’s you sing so well.
Oh, don’t you know that when I’m under you I’m overjoyed.
Because I've nothing else here for you
And just because it’s easier than the truth
Oh, if there’s nothing else that I can do.I’ll fly for you
Because I’ve nothing else here for you
And just because it’s easier than the truth
Oh, if there’s nothing else that I can do.I’ll fly for you.

Nature of the Beast

It is the key to all the doors. It is the crashing on the shores.
It lives in your steering wheel. It hides in the wind and rain,
With voices as cold as steel. It’s calling your name

It is the smile upon his face. It is the winning of the race.
It lives in the red-alert. It lives in the power game
It’s easy to take to heart. But harder to tame.

This is the nature of the beast (This is the nature)
This is the nature of the beast (This is the nature)
Without all this heat, They’ll be dancing west to east
This is the nature of the beast

It is the glowing in his eyes. It is the reason for his lies.
How many know you’re there. How many play your game.
He’s always the man to dare. You’re always to blame

It is the need to understand It is the trigger in his hand.
It lives in the uniform. It grows from the need to gain.
With faces so old and torn. It’s calling your name.

This is the nature of the beast (This is the nature)
This is the nature of the beast (This is the nature)
Without all this heat, They’ll be dancing west to east
This is the nature of the beast

It lives in the red-alert. It lives in the power game
It’s easy to take to heart. But harder to tame.

This is the nature of the beast (This is the nature)
This is the nature of the beast (This is the nature)
Without all this heat. They’ll be dancing west to east
This is the nature of the beast
