Skyscraping

Abc Skyscraping Lyrics
1.Ask A Thousand Times

When I'm high, you're low
When I'm up, you're down
And we're never around
When we need each other

Back stabbing
You know that I bleed
I just know you'll disagree

* Ask a thousand times
A thousand times I'll see no
Love is never blind
Though sometimes you might think so
Ask a thousand times
A thousand times you'll hear me say
Love is like a weapon
When you're back stabbing me

When I'm weak, you're strong
When I'm all right, you're all wrong
And we don't get along
Anymore

Back stabbing
You know where that leads
I just know you'll disagree
(* repeat two times)

When I'm high, you're low
When I'm weak, you're strong
(* repeat two times)


2.Faraway

What a state to be in
It's a world of indecision
So self destructive
And such an ugly business

In and out of fashion
You always leave your mark
An indefinite decision
A dangerous remark

** When you're cold and tired
Don't turn your head away
The distance that's between us
Gets bigger every day

* How come you never see
You're as faraway as faraway can be
You're as faraway as faraway can be

You try so hard to impress
You talk the telephone to death
It's what you can't see that counts
But you haven't worked that out yet

There is no reason
There is no plan
The truth can be deceptive
From such a quiet man

There's madness in your words
Not wishing to be heard
But just like yesterday
You've already slipped away

(* repeat)
(** repeat)
(* repeat)

You're as faraway as faraway
As faraway as faraway
As faraway as faraway
As faraway as faraway
As faraway as faraway
As faraway from me as you can be


3.Heaven Knows

I have tried
To make it on my own
And I have survived
But surviving is no rival
For your love

* Now I know that it's true
There is no way I can't be
Without you
Heaven knows that it's true
I can't live in this world
Without you

Time you'll find
Can change your mind
My eyes once could see
Only want now to believe
And thought we've tried
I think we'd better face it
A love like ours
You know you can't replace it

(* repeat)

Without you

(* repeat)

I wonder if there's one chance
It could be
You can't live in this world
Without me
Without me


4.Light Years

** Sitting watching stars exploding
Building blocks that make
This world go round
On some distant planet cluster
Future gazing, no sight or sound
Sitting godlike Mother Nature
Now immortal, on my own
Light years from home

* Light years from home
Light years from home

Crimson shades of evening glimmer
Across the counts of earth below
Shield your love like buried treasure
And all the secrets that you hold
Let them go

And as the daylight
Brings the morning
I reach out for you
Anaesthetic for the heartache
Now I'll never feel alone
Light years from home

(* repeat 2 times)
(** repeat)


5.Love Is It's Own Reward

Like kisses from ices
And Tiffany tokens
Life's full of surprises
So many emotions
Why try to fix
What isn't broken

Life comes in sovereigns
Love comes in gold
A cargo of moments
You'd swear you could hold
But it slips away somehow
(Where) nobody knows

* Love is it's own reward
Love is it's own reward
Take it or leave it
Fake it or feel it
Love is it's own reward

Hoist the mainsail
To perilous waters
Step below deck
You'll find elegant quarters
Who's gonna save you
If you should falter

Watch the main phase
Sail through the century
Rise like a starman
And blaze on re-entry
What's there to life
Running on empty

(* repeat)

Walking down Main Street
With Cupid and Psyche
Whom should we meet
But sweet Aphrodite
I fall to my knees
And praise the Almighty

We never go hungry
We never get bored
We are the future
That can't be ignored
Love can rob you of your thunder
And that's more than you can afford

(* repeat)

Love is it's own reward
Love is it's own reward
Take it or leave it
Let me reveal it
Love is it's own reward


6.Only The Best Will Do

Elegant faces
Won't you stand aside
I'm only looking for the real ride
Now's not the time
To run away and hide

* I've got no time for fakers
Only the best will do
Looking through my eyes, baby
It's such a spectacular view
Now that these times are changing
Only the best will do

Pale imitations
Will fade away
People are talking
With nothing to say
I wouldn't let anyone
Talk to me that way

(* repeat)

You

** Ain't that peculiar
Neptune's your ruler
Awake from your slumber
Give me your number
How candid the camera
That captures the best of you
Only the best will do

(* repeat)

Only the best will do

(repeat with following)

(** repeat)

Only the best will do


7.Rolling Sevens

I was tired of letting her
Taking me for what she could get
Smoking me down
Like her last cigarette

See, luck's a dime in dozen
In a thousand different places
Every country cousin's
Holding five sweet aces
All of a sudden
Love shines down on me

* Kissing you
Is like the angels kissing heaven
When I roll those dice
I swear I'm rolling sevens
I'll do whatever you want
Whatever you say
Everything's going our way

Poets and philosophers
Can say what they like
But they've never been to your place
After the clock strikes midnight

Zooming in on you
Brought me into focus
All the wild cards
Start turning into jokers
All of a sudden
Love rains down on me

(* repeat 2 times)

Oh yeah, going our way
Rolling sevens, rolling sevens
Everything's going our way


8.Seven Day Weekend

See the girl in the Cabriolet
I'm gonna make her mine someday
The traffic stops and she steps out
Every man starts to scream and shout
There's a space in the week
It's a date I can keep, oh yeah

Seven Day, seven day, seven day
It's a seven day weekend
Seven day, seven day, seven day
It's a seven day weekend

See the girl in the pale peach dress
She's got a body build to caress
Like a one-eyed cat
Outside a seafood store
She's got me begging
More, more, more
I've been saving and saving
And saving my money
To spend it on her

* Seven day, seven day, seven day
It's a seven day weekend
Seven day (seven day)
Seven day (seven day) seven day
It's a seven day weekend
Seven day (seven day)
Seven day (seven day) seven day
It's a seven day weekend

(* repeat)

Seven day (Saturday)
Seven day (Every day) seven day
It's a seven day weekend
Seven day (seven day)
Seven day (seven day) seven day
It's a seven day weekend
Seven day (seven day)
Seven day (seven day) seven day
It's a seven day weekend


9.Skyscraping

It's four o'clock
And the bells are ringing
The sun is in the sky
I hear the song
That the breeze is bringing
I smile and close my eyes

Slowly drifting
Deeper and deeper inside
I hear your voice
Whispering softly
We're leaving the world outside

* Just hold my hand
And we'll go skyscraping
So high you and I
If your mama asks you
Say we're just escaping
We're gonna be sky high

Time flies
But I don't know where it's going
You vanish in the haze
Sometimes I wish that life
Could be everlasting
These are our Polaroid days

Slowly melting
The sun slips from the sky
I see your face
But it's fading quickly
We're leaving the world behind

(* repeat 3 times)

We're gonna be sky high
You and me, so high
It's gonna be all right


10.Stranger Things

I would walk away from you
If that's what you wanted
But when you look for something new
You can be so disappointed

* It's funny how it used to be
Me for you and you for me
I wish I knew why people change
Suddenly

** Will we ever be the same again
Stranger Things have happened
Will we ever feel this way again
Whatever will be will be

We were learning to be human
But it doesn't take a degree
To know that what you're looking for
Is not always what you see

(* repeat)

(** repeat two times)

Eternally

Sha la, sha la la
Sha la, sha la la
Sha la, sha la la


11.Who Can I Turn To?

If only I could stand
On my own two feet
Oh honey, then I'd know
Life could be so sweet

Someone to drive
Someone to blame
Someone to rush through my veins
Someone to wash it all away

* Who can I turn to now
If not you, tell me
Who can I turn to
If not you

If I could get
What I want for free
Then I wouldn't have to borrow
Take a tranquilliser
From your limousine driver
before we crash into tomorrow

Someone to love
Someone to hold me
Someone so courageous
Someone to drag me in from the cold

(* repeat 3 times)

Who can I turn to (tell me who)
Who's gonna be there (if not you)
Tell me who (tell me)
Tell me who (tell me)
Tell me who
Tell me who can I turn to
(if not you)
Ooh (tell me who)
You've got to, you've got to
Tell me who
