Murder on the Dancefloor

It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove
DJ, gonna burn this goddamn house right down
Oh, I know I know I know I know I know I know
About your kind
And so and so and so and so and so
I'll have to play
If you think you're getting away
I will prove you wrong
I'll take you all the way
Boy, just come along
Hear me when I say
Hey, It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
Dj, gonna burn this goddamn house right down
Oh I know I know I know I know I know I know
About your kind
And so and so and so and so and so and so
You'll just have to pray
Don't think you'll get away
I will prove you wrong
I'll lead you all astray
Stay another song
I'll blow you all away
Hey, It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove
Murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
DJ, gonna turn this house around somehow
Murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove
Hey, hey
Murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
Dj, gonna burn this goddamn house right down

Move This Mountain

What do you want from me
I stand before you no attempt to leave
I'm too tired to disagree
I stand before you no chance I'll believe this warning
Oh do you know
I would have done anything for you
Take this chance I won't repeat this
I can do anything that's put beside of you
And I can move any mountains that you make
I'll lift you up and my back will never break
And I can move this mountain
Come and take the rest of me
I never thought I wouldn't want you near
This is all I'll ever be
I understand you
Look around to see this dawning
Oh, does it show
I wanted to catch you falling
Oh, do you know
I would have done anything for you
Take this chance I won't repeat this
I can do anything that's put beside of you
And I can move any mountains that you make
I'll lift you up and my back will never break
And I can move this mountain

Music gets the best of me

I've got to tell you something
you're not my first ever love
men come and go I've noticed
But my first love's going strong
He swept me off my feet
Strong
With melody and simple beat
Strong
A touch and I feel complete
Music is my love you see yeah

Music gets the best of me
But guess who gets the rest of me
And there's no need for jealousy
Music gets the best of me

Without the beat I'm nothing
Without a song in my heart
I'd be a different girlfriend
But we're all here so lets start
The things he says are always true
Start
He's never going to change his tune
Start
And though you're still the boy for me
Music is my life you see yeah

Music gets the best of me
But guess who gets the rest of me
There's no need for jealousy
Music gets the best of me

If someone held you with a gun
You know I'd make you number one
I need you both to get along
Music gets the best of me

Oh my baby
You know you make me smile
But it's the music we're making
That's really driving me wild

Come on come on come on come on

Music gets the best of me
But guess who gets the rest of me
And there's no need for jealousy
Music gets the best of me...

Sparkle

I'm only offering you love tonight
I'm only offering you this for life
I'm only answering your call tonight
I'm only answering your lust for life
Believe me, you're the only one
Believe me, you're the only one
Sparkle in my mind
Sparkle in my mind
It's always every single thing to me
It's always every single fantasy
It's always inescapable to me
It's always inescapable to see
Believe me, you're the only one
Believe me, you're the only one
Sparkle in my mind
Sparkle in my mind

Universe is you

Read my lips
I don't want to
Get involved with
Relativity
Take my time
Use it wisely
You're controlling
Certain gravities
You're coming around
So late in the day
I've been here before
I know what to say
You're moving the ground
You're making me feel as if the universe is you
Tell yourself
You can't have me
I rely on
Probability

I Believe

Hold me down
So I don't leap onto the wall
With the fever of it all
That would encourage mayhem
They're quite a rowdy crowd, do you think?
And I'm going to the peak of something
Lovely feeling, slippy breathing
Tell me how to break the news
There's no way that I can loose my love and it's taken over me
I feel as if this love could last forever
As if my luck and hope have found each other
I feel as if I should have known, together
We make good sense to me and I believe.
Who just said
Some girls don't get a second chance
When I've toyed and I've romanced
I'm on the edge of something
Inner soothing, man-approving
Tell me how to take the news
There's no way that I can loose my love and it's taken over me

By Chance

Take this down
Turn it around
I am water underneath a bridge
So? What do I know?
Getting here must be a privilege
Should say something meaningful
If at all
Just to fill the air
Or, believe I adore you
Love you if I dare
By chance
When I turn out the light
I'm finding the right line
By chance
I could put this to right not in the rest of this lifetime
Let it slide
Always inside
Isn't worth the indecision I hide
So, nowhere to go
Stimulating no illusion
I should say something pivotal
Belittle
How you let me down
Or, believe I adore you
Love me if you dare
By chance
When I turn out the light
I'm finding the right line
By chance
I could put this to right
Not in the rest of this lifetime no, no
Look at you going places
See two faces
I know which to trace
I would be holding my breath but things will stay the same won't they
Oh, I know

Gertie · **◊Poker Face◊**

Is it any Wonder

Turn me down
To the ground
I want to feel the coolness on my face
Lie me down
Show me how
I can begin to hold you endlessly
I don't sleep
So I don't dream of leaving
And when I wake I face the night
And I don't speak
I listen to the breathing
I sometimes think I hear my fate
So is it any wonder
That I'm finding someone in this place here next to me
And is it any wonder
That we found each other
I've found another who meets the same
Is it any wonder
Don't explain by it's name
We write our words forever in the space
Who could say
Chance again
Chooses to bring together you and me
Now I don't sleep so I don't dream of leaving
I lie awake and face the night
I lie awake and dream of you
So is it any wonder
that I'm finding someone in this place here next to me
And is it and wonder that you made it here
We found another who meets the same
And is it any wonder that I'm finding someone in this place here next to me
Is it any wonder
that we found each other
We found another who meets the same

Leave the others alone

Black and gold
A safe combination
Heaviness sets the seed for the next generation
You say we're so alike
Well, I wouldn't want to live
On the difference
No, I wouldn't want to live
On the difference
Sitting down at 10,000 feet
Nothing's artificial
It shouldn't be a word
I live on my dreams
Well, I'd never do anything to make them happen
No, I'd never do anything to make them happen
Suddenly I'm forced to think and make the right decision
I'm on the brink
You've put me in a position
I'll tell you what
I'll give you me
If you leave the others alone
Canvas cracks
Face unrecognisable
Eyes have a stony gaze
Moving's not advisable
I know who you are so, I don't feel the need to make conversation
No, I don't feel the need to make conversation
Suddenly I'm forced to think and make the right decision
I'm on the brink
You've put me in a position
I'll tell you what
I'll give you me
if you leave the others alone
Leave the others alone

Final Move

I've been talking to myself again
Not communicating anything
It's a never ending fallacy
That you have always been so good to me
When I'm trying to explain it all
You are making me uncomfortable
Take a little piece of honesty
And be the man you always promised me
I said that I would never leave
But now I cannot breathe
I said that I would let you know
But I'm not letting go
I've tried to make you understand
Now I've done all I can
It's time to make my final move
Cos I'm not happy
I've been talking to myself again
Making sure that I am listening
I'm developing an attitude
It pushes me towards my solitude
I said that I would never leave
But now I cannot breathe
I said that I would let you know
But I'm not letting go
I've tried to make you understand
Now I've done all I can
It's time to make my final move
Cos I'm not happy
I never thought it could happen
I never thought it could be
I never wanted to be here
I never wanted to see
your love will never let me down
