All I Want is Everything
(J. Lyon/B. Rush)

There is a drug on the market
They claim will satisfy
But I tried them already
And they just don't gratify
There ain't no drug ever made
Ever gonna pacify me
'Cause all I want is everything
All I want is everything
All I want is everything, everything

Forty-second street has so many devices
But very little I haven't tried
Newspapers drool at a mouthful of vices
Headlined in the classifieds
They say there's a limit to endurance
I know that I haven't reached mine
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

And I know that it's just my obsession
Makes me scurry like a rat in a maze
And I know it's becoming an addiction
I Need it now, right now, right now

Strong arm tactics have come into fashion
The muscle boys are back in style
They shatter the bones of descension
And never crack a smile
Well, if that's the way breaks are gotten
You know I'm gonna give it a try
All I want is everything
All I want is everything
All I want is everything
All I want, all I want, all I want is everything
Just give me everything
I don't want much, I just want it all, want it all
Everything, everything, everything, everything

I'm So Anxious
(B. Rush)

Won't you come to Florida for a vacation?
The tan developer beckons from the television
They know they got me because I'm an insomniac
Records, detergents, here's the latest Pontiac
The got me so conditioned now that 
When they talk I just react
Why they throwing it all at me?

I'm so
I'm so
I'm so anxious

Hard sell pressure got to keep the motor running
Stimulate your need to satisfy something
You don't want to be the one who never gets in line
You don't want to be the one who's always left behind
Pick up that phone you're running out of time
Why they throwing it all at me?

I'm so
I'm so
I'm so anxious

I'm so
I'm so
I'm so anxious

I know you're worrying what will the people say?
I know you're worrying you've got bills to pay
Worrying will the backwash get you?
The undertow drag you out?

You don't want to be the one who never gets in line
You don't want to be the one who's always left behind
Pick up that phone, quick you're running out of time
Why they throwing it all at me?
Why they throwing it all at me?
Why they throwing it all at me?

I'm so
I'm so
I'm so anxious

I'm so
I'm so
I'm so anxious

Paris
(J. Lyon/B. Rush)

She left on the morning train
She never spoke of returning
So blasé she just walked away
Oh, but this fire is still burning

Paris you're a drug, you won't let go
There is no use in denial
You're in my brain, you're in my veins
You've got my mind running wild

Goodbye to Paris
Goodbye to the past
We live in shadows that our dreams have cast
Memory and desire can only bring pain
Until I'm with you again

Goodbye to Paris
Goodbye to the past
We live in shadows that our dreams have cast
Memory and desire can only bring pain
Until I'm with you again
Till I'm back in your arms one more time

Security
(B. Rush)

I know what you want
I know what you need
A girl can live on just sweet nothins

Security, she's got to have security 
Something she can show `em for all her time
All her time

A nice big rock
Or just that little ring
Your sweet talking don't mean a thing

Security, she got to, got to have it
Security, the girl really needs it
Against the day when love starts its long decline

She don't wanna wake up
Poor and destitute
She knows how love goes
It's never absolute
You might swear she could never be replaced
And she'll believe you, but just in case

She'll need a piece of the rock
If you decide to roll
The girls got insurance that she can consult

Security, she got to keep on looking smart
Security, little checks from the heart
You're drunk with love but you gotta
Sober up sometime, don't ya?

You might tell the truth
You might be a liar
She don't know it so she'll require

Security, your heart is running a race
Security, hers beats a nice, steady pace
Your cold, wet feet will get plenty of time to dry
All she wants is
S-E-C-U-R-I-T and a Y

Living In The Real World
(B. Rush)

I know there is a day without headlines
Where profit won't intertwine
With somebody's pain

We know there is hurt behind the laughter
The sting lingers after
Whoa for such a long time

And one crazy fool laughing at the newsreel
Watching as the citizens steal
It's such a riot downtown

Living in the real world
Living in the real world
Every day in the real world
Finds a way to remind me

I roam living in a wolf pack
Getting my fingers snapped
Whenever I reach out
And if I - if I ever stumble
I'll feel their warm breath
Nuzzling death in my ear

Living in the real world
Living in the real world
Every day in the real world
Finds a way to remind me

Passions turned to worthless litter
Dot the shores of human rivers
The tide just keeps on sweeping me along
Living in the real world

Left so weak 'cause the love she handled every day
Time slowly ate away
And it's a mouth that's forever hungry

And it's too late, the deck was already stacked
She thought she had love down pat
Till the ace jumped out of the hole

She's living in the real world
Living in the real world
Every day in the real world
Finds a way to remind me
Living in the real world
Living in the real world
We're all living in the real world

Your Reply
(B. Rush)

I walk through a world ridden with confliction
I know everybody can't be right
All I ever get is contradiction
Still they can't prove that I'm here tonight

Where's the time gone, and where's it going to?
They all try to prophesize
What is there in common to a billion people?
What exists when they totalize?

I know you might never hear these questions
From such a little speck of life
Surely you understand why I take my lonely stand
Waiting, waiting on your reply

Must we look to a future in the chill of space?
Or maybe we will just revert
Are we slaves to a power that is so sublime?
Or is it hidden in this clump of dirt?

But if you listen something echoes down through the ages
Once they even tired to chain down time
There must be a reason for the wealth of miracles
That run through the days of mankind

I know you might never hear these questions
From such a little speck of life
Surely you understand why I take my lonely stand
Waiting, waiting on your reply

The Time 
(A. Berger/J. Lyon)

Baby, this is your life story
Me, I'm just another part-time friend
And if that's all the way you want it
Well then that's the way the story ends

You say you're tired of complications
I think I know just what you mean
You've been rolling in the dirt for so damn long
Now you don't know if you'll ever get clean

We've got to stop
'Cause you don't have the time
You're throwing all your time away
We've got to stop
'Cause you just don't have the time
I guess there's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to say

You've been downhearted in the morning
And frightened by laughter in the night
It's draining all your sensibilities
Till you don't have the strength to fight

We've got to stop
'Cause you don't have the time
You're throwing all your time away
We've got to stop
'Cause you just don't have the time
I guess there's nothing left to say

I Remember Last Night
(A. Berger/J. Lyon)

Well all week long I've been working so hard
Working at my job
My body's been aching from the hours on the line
Struggling at my job
And when the day ends and I get off
I feel so weak and I feel so tired, so tired
But when I get home I'm gonna change my clothes
I'm gonna go out tonight
Just like I did it last night
Oh, I remember last night

The door flew open
The nightclub air hit my face
My heart went racin'
When the wild night heat took my breath away
And it was cold outside
But the place was on fire

Someday I live with a fire in my heart
Like a sickness came over me
Sometimes I feel so empty inside
From the day to day monotony
And in the morning when I get up
I feel so weak, so so uninspired
But when the sun goes down
There's a magic in the mood
There's a promise in the air at night
I know it's gonna be alright
Just like it was last night 

When the door flew open
The nightclub air hit my face
My heart went racin'
When the wild night heat took my breath away
And it was cold outside
But the place, the place was on fire
I could feel the fire

But if this fire's ever cool
On these weekend nights
I'm gonna have to fan the flames
I got to keep the night alive
It's the only way I can survive

The door flew open
The nightclub air hit my face
My heart went racin'
When the wild night heat took my breath away
And it was cold outside
But the place was on fire
The place was on fire
I could feel the fire

Wait in Vain
(J. Lyon/B. Rush)

I survive the cold on your promises
Frozen in a life so temporary
Trapped in the darkness of an endless night
Living for the day when you'll be mine
You promised
The door would open, open again
You promised
I would hold you once again
And every time the phone rings I run just to check
But it's never been you and I'm starting to suspect

That I wait in vain
Oh I wait in vain
Oh I wait in vain

It's just one small step and I'm out of the shadow
But I can't escape your indifference
I'm gripped by indecision and paralyzed by pride
Hesitating till the day you'll be by my side
You promised
I would feel your soft kiss again
You promised
I would hear you whisper again
And every day I'm standing, just standing at your door
I can't even find the strength to hate you anymore

Wait in vain
Oh I wait in vain
Don't make me wait in vain
No no

You promised the door would open again
You promised I would hold you, hold you again
And in the crowd I always think I see you up ahead
When I call out your name it's someone else instead

Wait in vain
Oh I wait in vain
Oh I wait in vain

Please don't make me wait in vain
Oh I wait in vain
Wait in vain

Vertigo
(B. Rush)

What is the force
Pulling me like gravity?
Into your world
I'm swirling inescapably
Tangling my tongue
When I try to speak
Caught up in confusion
Leaving me so weak
The earth below drags me down
I'm grabbing on to air 
When I go to reach out
I don't like these heights
But you don't ever let me down
Will you girl

I want you so, I'm falling, falling vertigo

Won't you come closer
I feel secure when you're near
Don't take me so high
I cannot breath in this atmosphere
Hold me tight
I'm in the iron group of fear
Stay at my side
The drop is so sheer
You move in light years
And I can barely crawl
What seems like forever
Is no real time at all
If I look down, I know, I know I'm gonna fall
All the way, girl

I need you so, I'm falling, falling vertigo, vertigo

Every night
I'm hounded by this one dream
You speak
But I never know what the words mean
Until it's too late
And I feel my foot slip
Eyes shut tight
I know I'm in the grip
Then my fingers
One by one
Loosen their hold
Become undone
It pulls so hard
I must succumb
You know what it is
Round I go, spinning and whirling
Round I go, vision is blurring
Round I go, falling, falling
Vertigo
Vertigo
Vertigo
