Blue Moon 04:26
BLUE MOON True, true You know it’s true That we Could do whate’er we wanted to Who knew The simple truth Was you Could be whate’er you wanted to Blue moon You shine your light All night But it’s not yours; it’s borrowed from the sun Soon, soon The sun will come Claim his due And pour his golden rays on everyone. You, you You know it’s true Given half a chance You’d know exactly what to do True, true The inner light Burning bright Inside your mind is shining outside too Blue, blue The color hurts There are words You know that I can never say to you True blue Who knew That in the end You’d do exactly what you wanted to True, true You know it’s true That we Could do whate’er we wanted to Who knew The day would come When you Would find the thing you wanted to Blue moon I miss your light The gentle night But now the sky is governed by the sun Soon, soon The moon will rise So dry your eyes And let her shed a tear for everyone

ZOMBIES OF LOVE A dark and stormy night A push and a shove A stark and swarmy sight Zombies of love Beg on bended knee For a sign from above A knock on the door I’m a zombie of love Just tell me what to do and I will do it for you That’s all I want A hammer in a hand A hand in a glove Breaking little bones A zombie of love Waiting in vain For a sign from above Werwolves at the door I’m a zombie of love Just tell me what to do and I will do it for you That’s all I want

THE YEAR OF THE TIGER How many moons have crossed the sky Hanging over us tonight Like some fair-skinned beauty’s parasol Since the Hundred Schools of Thought Since Siddhartha Gautama Since the Gardens of Babylon How many suns have set Sinking softly in the west Like so many ships been lost at sea Since we sang the hero’s fall Since the emperor built the wall Since the Garden of Gethsemane How many things have changed How much has stayed the same To bring us here tonight As the sky explodes with light The Year of the Tiger

QUESTION OR TWO Well I went to the mountain and I went to the sea Went to the sand and I went to the tree Went to the king and I went to the queen When I come back, baby’s waiting for me Where did you go and what did you see? Where did you go and what did you see? Where did you go and what did you see? What did you bring back home for me? Well I went to the crossroads and got down on my knees Went to the birds and I went to the bees Climbed up the mountain and I sailed the sea When I come back, baby’s waiting for me Where did you go and what did you see? Where did you go and what did you see? Where did you go and what did you see? What did you bring back home for me? I got a question or two for you I got a question or two for you Well I went to the crossroads and got down on my knees Went to the sands and I went to the trees Went to the king and I went to the queen When I come back, people waiting for me Where did you go and what did you see? Where did you go and what did you see? Where did you go and what did you see? What did you bring back home for me? I got a question or two for you I got a question or two for you

REMEMBER THE FUTURE Smoking virtual gun Hazy virtual sun Meltin’ the horizon line The end is nigh and that’s just fine Feel the virtual pain Pray for virtual rain To wash the weathered world away Arcin’ to a brave new day Ancient eggshell cracked Science fiction fact A deeper sea of blue when All your dreams come true Kitty kats in flight Sound and speed of light Sky high shoot the moon tonight Tomorrow night we’re shooting stars I remember when this was the future I remember I remember when, oh je me souviens! I ain’t worried at all I know this dude we can call Got the signal on the fliptop phones Like Captain Kirk and Doctor Bones I’m ahead of myself All plugged into the shelf Communicating with the USA Over there it’s yesterday Ancient eggshell cracked Science fiction fact A deeper sea of blue when All your dreams come true Kitty kats in flight Sound and speed of light Sky high shoot the moon tonight Tomorrow night we’re shooting stars I remember when this was the future I remember I remember when, oh je me souviens! I think it’s all in our mind Leaving matter behind Energy and mc2 Sitting in my rocking chair I remember when this was the future I remember I remember when, oh je me souviens!

SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY I’m on a mission to find out all I can About the inner machinations of my fellow man I got my briefing handed down from control I’m gonna meet up with my contact gotta find the mole Deep under cover behind enemy lines And my comrades back on base they only want me for my mind (So now I’m) Sleeping with the enemy Sleeping with the enemy Sleeping with the enemy Sleeping with the enemy (A traitor to the cause) The femme fatale with the inquisitive eyes She’s digging deep into the details of my alibis I missed that safehouse rendez vous late last night And the word is out among the brass that something’s not right I watch my back I’m sure I’m sensing a trap Cause I think I’m being followed and I know my phone is tapped (They know I’m) Sleeping with the enemy Sleeping with the enemy Sleeping with the enemy Sleeping with the enemy (A traitor to my kind)

I LOVE SHANGHAI I hopped off the plane at PVG There was a breeze blowing in from the East China Sea Jumped on the train doing 431 Racing downtown speeding into the sun Stately old buildings lined up on the Bund But right across the river history is outgunned In Lujiazui The buildings scrape the sky I love Shanghai I love Shanghai On the street a million people milling about Young Romeo begs, young Juliet pouts Teetering along, do the escalator freeze Got the high-heeled boots jacked up above the knees Clearest day in weeks, you can almost see the sky Family of three with a puppy on a bike Anything could happen That’s the reason why I love Shanghai I love Shanghai I love Shanghai I love Shanghai Down on Huaihai Lu Out on Huashan Lu Up on Nanjing Lu Down on Hengshan Lu Out on Jinling Lu Up on Julu Lu Down on Taikang Lu Here on Dagu Lu Yeah… Xintiandi and the tourists getting down Zhujiajiao I dig the ancient water town Plaza 66 baby’s shopping with the stars Tongren Lu used to have some sleazy bars Sino-Russian building like a big wedding cake Qipu Lu is cheap because it’s fake Never gonna leave ‘Cause this place gets me high I love Shanghai I love Shanghai I love Shanghai Wo ai Shanghai!
