Only In America

Angeli Only In America Lyrics
1.Adonis

I met Adonis just recently
On a starry night, we walked by the sea
Right out of a book of Greek gods and myths
In the guise of a man here against his will
I said now (she said)
Heavenly creature, can you feel
Pain and emotions, are you for real
A goddess or angel I might not seem
But I can love you more than any human will (Yeah, right)
He took me then in his arms
And I melted like ice in the sun
Palm trees were swaying and the wind sang a crazy love song
Then he pulled away from me, I was speechless as a fool could be
And I realised that I was only human indeed
(She couldn't help it!)
Don't imagine me a silly Earth fool
I'm tongue-tied and nervous, I appear unschooled
Cos my hormones are churning, they're drowning out my head
Many a thing would have been better unsaid
He took me then in his arms
And I melted like ice in the sun
Palm trees were swaying and the wind sang a crazy love song
He's afraid of loving me, and he thinks I'm not quite his size
Maybe some cruel goddess left him alone in the night (in the
night)
In the night (that's right)
My Adonis has flown away
He didn't even give me the night of a day
The sun is gone and I see no more stars
All I see is the planet Mars
He took me then in his arms
And I melted like ice in the sun
Palm trees were swaying and the wind sang a crazy love song
He's afraid of loving me, and he thinks I'm not quite his size
Maybe some cruel goddess left him alone in the night (in the
night)
In the night now
I hear it raining outside my door
I wonder if he'll be back once more
Right out of a book of Greek gods and myths
In the guise of a man here against his will


2.Broken Voice Box

They said:You have a broken voice box
Now how you gonna be a star
Why did you make that foolish left turn
And run right into that car
Into that car, into that car
Why did you run into that car, into that car
Riding high, racing heart
All aglow with excitement
If dreams could come true, only two weeks to go
And my feet flying off the pavement
But who would have thought at that innocent corner
How blinded by time I would be
The road to hell appears out of nowhere
And stays indefinitely
They said: You have a broken voice box
Now how you gonna be a star
Why did you make that foolish left turn
And run right into that car
Into that car, into that car
Why did you run into that car, into that car
Dream again, I dream again
Oh, I remember the pain
Maybe I should see a soothsayer
And ask what's in the game
Is it storm and clouds before the rainbow
Or neon lights on Broadway
Or is it just a freak of chance that steroids are messin' up my
brain


3.Foreign Lover

Stay with me, my foreign lover
Speak to me your sweet language of love
Mon chri, mon amour
Dis-moi que tu m'aimes toujours
Sans toi ma vie n'a plus de joie
Caught am I in credit cards
Chasing rainbows in the sun
It's the need of gold that keeps me on the run
It seems it was so long ago
I played by the distant shore
And watched flaming sunsets blaze into the sea
If you go my days will never end
I might not make it round the bend
Mon chri, mon amour, say si, si
Mon chri, mon amour
Dis-moi que tu m'aimes toujours
Sans toi ma vie n'a plus de joie
Look at me in shades of mediocrity
You're my ticket to fantasy
An average Jane who found her Tarzan in the city
Let me travel vicariously, in your own words describe
The beauty and the wonders of your faraway land
That through your eyes all my dreams and visions turn reality
Paris, sunny skies, Mediterranean
Let's sail and ride the waves
Never return here as slaves
To humdrum chores and bills and automobiles
Liberated finally, we'll find a new way to be
In the deep blue of the open sky and the sea
It seems it was so long ago, I played by the distant shore
And watched flaming sunsets blaze into the sea


4.I'm Drowning

I was sailing along, a happy cloud in the sky
Feeling so good, just having fun
Then one starry night when the moon was high
You heated me up like a warm summer sun
I should have slipped away, cos a cloud can rain
In the heat of a sun that's too bright
But the lights in your hair and your eyes shining clear
You made me feel so good, you made me feel so right
And although my smile is wide, there is an ocean deep inside
Look deep into my eyes, you will see the stakes are high
The waves rise constantly
Dark clouds gather over me
Can't you see I'm drowning
Can't you see I'm drowning
How could I resist your arms warm around me
Thunder and lightning every time you touched me
And when I had all but just melted away
You left me alone to compete with the rain
Now my tears green the valleys
They fill rivers and oceans
How was I to know I could feel such emotion
And the lights in your hair, your eyes shining clear
You made me feel so good, you made me feel so right


5.Monogamous

This is a song to you, my lover
Why don't you call or just come over
It seems to me that you've been gone forever
Your smile so sunny and bright
Your hair as dark as the night
And your big grey eyes that I'd love to see
I hear the echo of your laughter
Remember how hard it was to catch you
While you danced around with an air so free
And oh, how my world would brighten up
When in the morning you would wake up
And turn around just to smile at me
Are you staying away just to be mysterious
If you want to play, can't we do it together
With all the bugs around, we ought to be monogamous
So baby, be mine, be mine, be mine
My sweet love, where can you be now
If I could just see you somehow
You've been gone for quite an eternity
If only you'd write me a letter
'Twould make me feel so much better
We'd be together like we ought to be


6.Rainbow

See them walking down the street in America
Black and white and brown, they meet in America
Some, they mix and some, they smile and mingle
While others, they go about their business single
Watch the children play together, oh they understand
So many races, colours and faces make a fairyland
Here's an African, Italian or Asian
There's a German, Indian, Irish or Romanian
So be a friend and hold my hand
And maybe try to understand
Like colours in a ray of light
Together we can shine as bright
In stormy times and every situation
Paint a rainbow in the sky for all the nations
See them mix and match so free in America
Then it's peace instead of anarchy in America
To show that we can work together is our destiny
That all races can combine and live in harmony


7.The Car Song

I sold my old car today
To say goodbye to you and memories of yesterday
There was just too much of you in it
Like an old photograph
A negative reminder of having you around
My old car had known better days
But now it needed a fix
An overhaul, cos just a tune-up wouldn't do
It seemed the more I put into it
The less I got
Couldn't stand it any more, I just wanted out
But oh, oh, oh, how to ease the pain
Am I never to see you again
You had become such a habit
Like my old VW Rabbit
With my new Chevrolet I guess I'll be okay
I'll be okay
My old car was used when I bought it
It already had too many miles on it
So it never did run, from day one, like I wanted it to
I tried to ignore warning signals
Didn't take the time to shop around
I was caught in a spiral that was dragging me down


8.Young Stud

I'm feeling so good, I thank my Creator
For the feelings I've had kind of late
I'm knocking on wood that they will last eternally
There's a lad out there in the crowd
He's so young and he wants to flirt
With an older young-looking woman like me
So why should I give up this young stud
Run and hide from an uncertain future
When now is all the time that there may be
I look good for someone who's forty
Every year get a little more naughty
Cos here in America a woman is free
A woman has power when she's older
Heck of a lot smarter, quite a bit bolder
Than an undecided woman of 20
She has money, she has maturity
She has, thanks to modern technology,
An eternal and ageless beauty
So why should I...
ANGELI: Ah, ce beau jeune garon, qui a l'air si fort et si
doux... et voil
mon coeur qui bat comme un tambour.
YOUNG STUD: Madame, puis-je me prsenter ?
ANGELI: Mais oui...
YOUNG STUD: Je m'appelle Jean.
ANGELI: Et je suis Angeli.
YOUNG STUD: Madame, je vous trouve charmante.
ANGELI: Ah oui ?
YOUNG STUD: Donnez-moi un rendez-vous.
ANGELI: Eh bien... peut-tre...
YOUNG STUD: Ce samedi?
ANGELI: Ce samedi alors.
So men, let the pendulum swing our way
It's time for woman to have her day
Appreciate a young stud if she please
Why should a firm young body be
An older man's exclusive territory
Here in America a woman is free
