Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight
Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the Milky Way tonight
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Under the Milky Way tonight..
Under the Milky Way tonight...

Here she comes, you better watch your step
She's going to break your heart in two, it's true
It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown
cause everybody knows (shes a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (shes a femme fatale)
Shes just a little tease (shes a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks
You're written in her book
You're number 37, have a look
She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy, she's from the street
Before you start, you're already beat
Shes gonna play you for a fool, yes its true
cause everybody knows (she's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (she's a femme fatale)
Shes just a little tease (she's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

Real good time
Real good time
I know, she's a real good time
She's a real good time for you
She's a real good time for me
She's a real good time
You and me
You and me
We know, she's a real good time
She's a real good time for you
She's a real good time for me
She's a real good time

Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can
get tickets for the dance
and I'll take you
Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back"?
Tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black'
Rock 'n Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so, well, let me know
If it's "no", well, I can go
I won't make you

Did you see that girl that's standing cross the bar room?
The one that's turning everybody's head?
You say you saw her in here last night drinking
Cause that a face you never could forget
Let me tell you, Mister, you're mistaken
You didn't see her in this smokey bar
She was South of town in my apartment
She was lying in my drunken arms
In my drunken arms she lay until the morning
Slept until she heard the clock alarm
You didn't see her here a-honky tonkin'
She was lying in my drunken arms
Better put your eyes back in their sockets
Better put your tongue back in your mouth
Better keep your money in your pocket
You can ask her if you've got your doubts
In my drunken arms she lay until the morning
Slept until she heard the clock alarm
You didn't see her here a-honky tonkin'
Cause she was lying in my drunken arms
She was lying in my drunken arms

I would do anything to hold on to you
Just about anything until you pull through
I'd hold on to you 'til the stars no longer wink
I'd hold on to you 'til you figure out
Just what to think, 'cos
You're emotion in motion
My magical potion
You're emotion in motion
To me
I would go anywhere to meet up with you
Just about anywhere for one rendezvous
I'd hold on to you 'til the mountains crumble flat
I'd hold on to you 'til you figure out
Just where you're at
You're emotion in motion
My magical potion
You're emotion in motion
To me
I would do anything to hold on to you
Just about anything that you want me to
I'd hold on to you 'til you take it all in stride
I'd hold on to you 'til you want to stay here
By my side
You're emotion in motion
My magical potion
You're emotion in motion
To me

What's the matter?
Why don't you answer?
What's the matter with me?
It is so hard to be
Free and easy, we'll disappear completely
Hardly as I've known it's glad
You're heart is broken, and the doors are open
As you're hoping to be
There's brighter places to see
Hands need warming, early in the morning
Hardly as I've known a surprise
No, don't warn me
I know it's wrong, but I swear it won't take long
And I know, you know,
It makes me sigh, I do believe in love
Another season, but the same old feelings
Another reason could be
I'm tired of aching, summer's what you make it
But I'll believe what I want to believe

Yes I know who you remind me of
A girl I think I used to know
Yes I'd see her when the day got colder
On those days when it felt like snow
You know I even think that she stared like you
She used to just stand there and stare
And roll her eyes right up to heaven
And make like I just wasn't there
And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But I never even caught her name
And sometimes we would spend the night
Just rolling about on a floor
And I remember
Even though it felt soft at the time
I always used to wake up sore
You know I even think that she smiled like you
She used to just stand there and smile
And her eyes would go all sort of far away
And stay like that for quite a while
And I remember she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But I never even caught her name
Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her
But I never even caught her name

Motion pictures
on my TV screen,
A home away from home,
livin' in between
But I hear some people
have got their dream.
I've got mine.
I hear the mountains
are doin' fine,
Mornin' glory
is on the vine,
And the dew is fallin',
the ducks are callin'.
Yes, I've got mine.
Well, all those people,
they think
they got it made
But I wouldn't buy,
sell, borrow or trade
Anything I have
to be like one of them.
I'd rather
start all over again.
Well, all those headlines,
they just bore me now
I'm deep inside myself,
but I'll get out somehow,
And I'll stand before you,
and I'll bring
a smile to your eyes.
Motion pictures,
motion pictures.

There's a boy up here
Who wants you to love him
But he can't ignore his fears
There's a girl down there
Who wants you to love her
Like you did this time last year
And I could fill that hole for you
How can I apply to you?
I could fill that hole for you some way
Morning light I feel
Come and make a meal of me
I'm hot this morning
And I must say miss, this dish is delicious
You can have some more for dinner
And I will fill that hole for you
How can I apply for you?
I could fill that hole for you someday
There's a dream somewhere
That's never been spoken
Here's your busfare somewhere else
Where you can spend your days
All shattered and broken
Til you're gone goodbye forever
But I could fill that hole for you
How can I apply for you?
I could fill that hole for you some way
I could fill that hole for you
How can I apply to you?
I'll be whole for you someday, some way
