I'm gonna try and steal a car
Drive it off with you somewhere afar
I'll start a fire deep inside
Find a place where we can hide
And as life flashes by
You want to know the reasons why
I'll be there with words to take you higher
One burning desire
I'm gonna try to be a light
Set the world on fire day and night
We start an education here
The signs look good no need to fear
The other people come and go
Why play the scenes they only know
I'll be here to help you walk the wire
One burning desire one burning desire
One burning desire x 4
I want to get inside your head
Find your ma and pa and what got said
And as we get familiar too
Find every scar and small tattoo
And as we start to play the game
I'll confess and take the blame
But you're the one who poured fuel on the fire
One burning desire one burning desire one burning desire
One burning desire x 4
If I could have just one more wish
It would be for a fillet of fish
You wouldn't have to take out the bones
You could even serve it up on it's own
I call it snapper
I call it snapper
It doesn't come in just one size
The taste you just don't realise
I prefer it to wellhung game
Cos game always ends up smelling the same
I call it snapper
I call it snapper
Take me all over the world
Cafes bars restaurants the dishes unfurl
If I could be tempted by one sweet little thing
I'd have to admit that snapper is king snapper is king or queen
So my friend just eat your fill
Cos eating can turn into a thrill
You know meat can go off so fast
That's why I maintain right up to the last
Just give me snapper just give me snapper
Take me all over the world
Cafes bars restaurants the dishes unfurl
If I could be tempted by one sweet little thing
I'd have to admit that snapper is king snapper is king or queen
In the middle of the day
When things don't go your way
And when life starts to bite
And it don't turn out right
And your top is spinning round
Far along the open ground
Then you have to hang on tight
Or you'll be blown from sight
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
It takes nerves of steel
In the middle of the night
If the stars ain't bright
And you wonder till the dawn
Why you feel so forlorn
And you know that you are lost
You never count the cost
Of all the mistakes you made
And all the games you played
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
It takes nerves of steel
In the middle of your life
When you're staring at the knife
And you're near the cutting edge
Close enough to make a wedge
But you know it ain't enough
Even though you hate the stuff
It's a sweet and bitter pill
But after all it's only real
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
It takes nerves of steel
Another missing person another mystery
Another marriage on the rocks that's ending in misery
Another strike and another plague
Another mad dog held at bay
It comes as no surprise when I hear all the victims say
Black hair black eyes black suit
Black hair black eyes black suit
I'll take you out to the garden of eden
It was all those years ago
The same thing still happens today
As you all surely know
A poor girl consoles herself with thoughts of better days
And if you ask her why she looks so sad this is what she'll say
Black hair black eyes black suit
Black hair black eyes black suit
You'll find they're all blind when it gets to the lineup
Don't care if they stare when it gets to the lineup
I'll meet you out in the modern world
We got modern ideas too
So glad just to be around but I don't see nothing new
Its still the same struggle in the end
No matter who or where you be
Its still you on top and me down below and I'm trying to get free
Black hair black eyes black suit
Black hair black eyes black suit
When we met I thought that you'd take off and try to fly
Then a man with giant lips began to catch your eye
You were caught on a hook
It was straight from a book
Didn't listen to advice and started telling tales
On the runway low on gas your engine starts to fail
If you tried you could win
Extra time take a spin
Hot head I hear you're coming through
Your ears are burning that's nothing new
Hot head you're wearing no parachute!
Knowing one or two up in the blue prepared me good
First of all my favourite pilot in my neighbourhood
Still in flight with her man
Riding high understand
Hot head I hear you're coming through
Your ears are burning that's nothing new
Hot head you're wearing no parachute!
Tie you up in a kind of logic
Don't think you can get away
It's a case of applied mathematics
Just as sure as night follows day
Ain't no use putting up resistance
All the static's too high for that
Saw you coming up in the distance
Gonna get you as sure as
Endless day follows endless night you're gonna
Have to stay and it'll be alright as long as
Endless day follows endless night we're gonna do alright
Got a feeling you're on my wavelength
You're tuned in the receptions fine
Dropping out with you would be crazy
You're just the company to unwind
I can see no escape for you dear
Lock you up throw away the key
I'll make sure that you're safe and sound dear
Making love to me through the
Endless day follows endless night you're gonna
Have to stay and it'll be alright as long as
Endless day follows endless night we're gonna do alright
Endless day endless night x 3
Got a feeling you're on my wavelength
You're tuned in the receptions fine
Dropping out with you would be crazy
You're just the company to unwind
I can see no escape for you dear
Keep you shackled and lose the keys
I'll make sure that you're safe and sound dear
Making love to me through the
Endless day follows endless night you're gonna
Have to stay and it'll be alright as long as
Endless day follows endless night we're gonna do alright
Endless day endless night x 4
There's a man holding onto a baby and it's screaming out your name
There's one or two uptight women on this brand new plane
Been held up in the frost in Moscow and I'm getting out fast
Been deiced from my tail to my mast
Five miles high and heading for you x 2
It seems that the longer you go for the crazier I get
it always seems to happen and I've not been wrong yet
My tank is overfull and my course has been set
It's what you could call a maiden flight with no safety net
Five miles high and heading for you x 2
I'm up front surrounded by the chinese eyes
But I'm holding out until I feel the thunder thighs
First thing I get to do when I get to see to your lively mind
Is get upstairs in the hirise horse race and I'll be betting blind
Five miles high x 3
Heading for you
Getting more exotic every minute that we fly east
Feeling kinda seasick at the very least
There's lots of water flowed by since you've been gone
There ain't no-one to touch you know where you belong
Five miles high and heading for you x 2
