Everybody Have Fun Tonight
Hypnotize Me
The Flat Horizon
Betrayal
Let's Go
Eyes of the Girl
A Fool and His Money
The World In Which We Live
I'd drive a million miles
To be with you tonight
So if you're feeling low
Turn up your radio
The words we use are strong
They make reality
But now the music's on
Oh baby dance with me
Rip it up - move down
Rip it up - move it down to the ground
Rip it up - cool down
Rip it up - and get the feeling not the word
Chorus:
Oh everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Wang Chung tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Wang Chung tonight
Everybody have fun
Deep in the world tonight
Our hearts beat safe and sound
I'll hold you so close
Just let yourself go down
Rip it up - move down
Rip it up - move it down to the ground
Rip it up - cool down
Rip it up - get the feeling not the word
(chorus)
On the edge of oblivion
All the world is Babylon
And all the love and everyone
A ship of fools sailing on
Across the nation, around the world
Everybody have fun tonight
A celebration so spread the word
(chorus)
Darlin', I believe in love
Since I met you, baby
I believe in love
The way you hold me
My heart is stirred
You can control me
Without a word
Chorus:
Turn on you white light
In my open eyes
Oh girl, you hypnotize me
I feel your white light
You're so bright
I'm hypnotized
And as you're looking at me
It's a deep ecstasy
And no word is enough
Just shine the light in my eyes
And hypnotize me love
Darlin', I believe in love
In this hate-ridden world
I believe in love
Do you know the power
You have over me
Use it every hour
Shine the light on me
(chorus)
Turn me on (with your love)
Turn me on (with your love)
Turn your light around to mesmerise me
Turn me on, oo-oh
Just shine the light in my eyes
And hypnotize me love
Just shine the light in my eyes
And hypnotize me love
(chorus)
I wanna paint your portrait in bright color
I wanna paint the lines in red and blue
I wanna make your eyes appear like starlings
Saying, "Darling, I love you!"
I wanna set your face upon a landscape
I wanna show the love and toil and sweat
I wanna show your beauty like a crystal
In an all-night launderette
Chorus:
Oh this line is the flat horizon
And you are the shape on the left
Oh this line is the flat horizon
And this is the sun in the sky
Oh this line is the flat horizon
And makes the great divide
Between heaven and angels
And earth and men
I wanna show what lies beneath the surface
In little squares of purple, green and gold
So everyone can see their own reflection
In the mirror of your soul
I wanna paint your arrogance and beauty
I wanna paint the way you laugh at me
I wanna paint the world in which I see you
Fixed for all eternity
(chorus)
I wanna paint your portrait in bright color
I wanna paint your personality
I wanna show the world just how I see you
I wanna show the world just how I see you
You know that only I can guarantee you
Precious immortality
Precious immortality
(chorus)
We met as friends of friends while still at school
I was all you ever really knew
When we met it was like a dream
For all I knew we could not fail
But now I know of your betrayal
Living in the older part of town
I worked all hours I could to bring us 'round
Your career was alive for you
But deep inside I watched it fail
And now I know of your betrayal
Your betrayal
If only I could hold you close
But now I know how love grows frail
When I asked if you'd leave me
Or 'bout the boyfriends you'd had
You said you'd stay with me always
And that you'd never be bad
But I would notice a smile
That you would hold within
As if your vanity flirted
With your knowledge of sin
Now you're quiet and cold
Your eyes just stare into space
And if I ask you to talk
You just dissemble your face
And the smile that I hated
Is now a frown of denial
And that's how I know of your unspoken betrayal
Oh, that's how I know of your unspoken betrayal
Now I wish that I'd set you free
But I was terrified that I would fail
And now I know of your betrayal
Your betrayal
If only I could hold you close
But now I know how love grows frail
Oh now I know of your betrayal
Now I know of your betrayal
Meet me in a restaurant
Meet me on the top of the world
Meet me and we'll talk the language of love
I'll meet you anywhere you want
I'll meet you on a ballroom floor
Meet me and we'll float to a level above
Chorus:
I wish you'd stop what you're doing
And get on the case
We could blow this existence
Right out into space
And share a sweet isolation
Let's go there today
Go today, go today
Everyway, right away
Oh, let's go
Let's go, baby, let's go, baby, come on
Let's go, baby, let's go, baby, come on
Let's go, baby, let's go, baby, come on
Let's go, 'cause we can't hold back no more
There's no way, there's no way
No, no way
Meet you on a mountain-top
I'll meet you at the end of the block
As long as we can talk in the language of love
I'll take you in my arms again
I'll take you to the edge of time
Together we can reach for the heavens above
(chorus)
Let's go, baby, let's go, baby, come on
'Cause baby, I want your love
Let's go, baby, let's go, baby, come on
'Cause baby, I'm saying
Take your cue from me now
I'm saying baby, let's go
Will you listen to me
I'm saying baby, come on now
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no more
There's no way
Meet me on the dancefloor and we'll dance to the rhythm
Get your feet in motion and we'll dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm of love
Oh, baby
Let's go, baby, let's go, baby, come on
'Cause baby, I want your love
Let's go, baby, let's go, baby, come on
'Cause baby, I'm saying
Take your cue from me now
I'm saying baby, let's go
Will you listen to me
I'm saying baby, come on now
Let's go, 'cause we can't hold back no
Let's go, 'cause we can't hold back no
Let's go, 'cause we can't hold back no more
There's no way
On her televison, on her mamma's radio
She could paint a picture
More alive than all she ought to know
Her imagination running wild, she let it grow
In her imagination
Oh she felt she loved him so
Chorus:
The eyes of the girl are following me
Looking for the man that she pinned on me
The tears for a love that could never be
Now it's all over
They're raining on me
Oh it's raining
It's an empty world with a lifetime on your hands
Oh we must believe that
Something someone somewhere understands
Our imagination wants to capture what we feel
In our imagination
Everything is real
(chorus)
Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me
Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me
Baby, please release me from the power of your mind
Baby, please release me, leave this crazy scheme behind
Baby, please release me
Baby, please release me
(chorus)
Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me
The longer love survives
The more it's easy to be blind
When it is obvious it's over
I put my trust in you
I spent my love and I thought I knew
But now things just don't look the same
I paid the price with a love I thought was strong
Counting on you I was wrong
Chorus:
Just like a fool and his money
Just like a fool, I let it slip away
Just like a fool and his money
All the love has gone
You think everything's all right
But love can change that all over night
And the hand you hold is colder
And then your fortunes fade
You really need the gold that you've thrown away
And all you believed in has changed
I paid the price for leaving love to chance alone
Now I know this bird has flown
(chorus)
As the rain pours down in a starless night
And my heart longs only for you
A fool to cry
(chorus)
The world in which we live is peopled by people who
Fuck, shit, screw everybody, don't care, swear
Do things without a care, are seen everywhere
And write about each other
The world in which we live is peopled by people who
Can't afford to eat, can't make ends meet
Got nowhere to sleep, can't feel the heat
Can't get out
Can't find a voice to scream it out
The world in which we live
The world on which all we are depends
Whoever could forgive
The way we treat the world in which we live
Chorus:
The world is a mosaic upon a golden floor
Moving silently, darkly through space
And our lives are the fragments and all that's gone before
Broken jewels in excrement base
Millions over millions are the world
Oh the world in which we live
Millions over millions are the world
Oh the world in which we live
The world in which we live
The world on which all we are depends
Whoever could forgive
The way we treat the world in which we live
The world in which we live is peopled by people who
Get up, stand up, speak up, fight
And do all the things that they think are necessary and right
The world in which we live is peopled by people who
Believe what they hold to be true, to be true for everybody
(chorus)
Millions over millions are the world
Oh the world in which we live
Millions over millions are the world
Oh the world in which we live
