The Great Traveler

Let’s dance in style, lets dance for a while
heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies
hoping for the best but expecting the worst
are you going to drop the bomb or not?
let us die young or let us live forever
we don’t have the power but we never say never
sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
the music’s for the sad men

can you imagine when this race is won
turn our golden faces into the sun
praising our leaders we’re getting in tune
the music’s played by the madmen

forever young, i want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
some are a melody and some are the beat
sooner or later they all will be gone
why don’t they stay young
it’s so hard to get old without a cause
i don’t want to perish like a fading horse
youth is like diamonds in the sun
and dimonds are forever

(Forever Young/Alphaville)

It’s a trick of my mind
Two faces bathing in the screenlight
She’s so soft and warm in my arms
I tune it into the scene
My hands are resting on her shoulders
When we’re dancing away for a while
Oh we’re moving, we’re falling,
We step into the fire
By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream
There’s no reason to hurry
Just start that brand new story
Set it alight, we’re head over heels in love,
Head over heels…

The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places
We’ll go for a while

It’s the definite show
Our shadows resting in the moonlight
It’s so clear and bright in your eyes
It’s the touch of your sighs
My lips are resting on your shoulder
When we’re moving so soft and slow
We need the extasy, the jealousy,
The comedy of love
Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before
Give me more tragedy, more harmony
And phantasy, my dear
And set it alight, just starting that satellite
Set it alight…

The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places,
We’ll go for a while

(Sounds Like A Melody/Alphaville)
