Hall&Oates X-Static Lyrics
1.The Woman Comes And Goes

Words:d. hall
music:d. hall

Woman don't need no run around
Don't need no truth in disguise
She only goes by
That look of love in her eye
There ain't no other side to see
She plays it so easily
And i gotta love her -ah-
When she shows it to me

Oh the woman comes and goes
When the morning comes she goes
Yeah the woman comes,
And goes when she's satisfied

I might not see her for days
Then she bumps in, in a haze
I like how her mind works
And i love how it plays
She gets her kick and she leaves
And leaves me weak in the knees
A bitter smile but
A lot of sweet memories
I like it. i love it...


2.Wait For Me

Words &
music:d. hall

Midnight hour almost over
Time is running out for the magic pair
I know you gave the best that you have
But one more chance
Couldn't be all that hard to bear.

Wait for me please
Wait for me
Alright, i guess
That's more than i should ask
Wait for me please
Wait for me
Although i know the light is fading fast.

You could go either way
Is it easier to stay
I wonder what you'll do
When your chance rolls around
But you gotta know how much i want to keep you
When i'm away i'm afraid it will all fall down.
Love is what it does and ours is doing nothing
But all the time we spent
It must be good for something
Please forgive all the disturbance i'm creating
But you got a lot to learn if you think that i'm not waiting for
you.


3.Portable Radio

Words:j. oates
Music:j. oates, d. hall

Take your pick of the modulation
Like a kid in a candy store
It's a hand-carry situation
Made for lying on the beach
Or dancin in the streets
You got your pertinent information
Or you can tune in to hear the scores
There's a power in a million stations
You can't ignore
Radio
Crank up the power
Radio
Rock it for hours and hours
Radio
Play it soft and low
Viva la portable radio
Turn up the power all night
Well i don't wanna hear no static
And i don't wanna hear no jaw
Put them platters on automatic
I cannot get enough
Got to give me more and more
Play some soul for the congregation
Rock n' roll for the kids next door
Charge up your batteries across the nation
Viva la portable radio
It's x-static


4.All You Want Is Heaven

Words &
music:j. oates

What's the point of standing
Ten feet tall if you never learn to fall
If you want to win you've got to play the game
But if you lose you must accept the pain
So don't reach for the sky if
All you want is heaven.
Reason makes us human
But love makes us believe we can conquer all
I ask for fire and you give me rain
I ask for nothing and you give the same
And i'd give you the sky but
All you want is heaven.


5.Who Said The World Was Fair

Words &
music:d. hall, s. allen

If there's enough to go around why can't i get mine
If everybody knows they've been lied to
If everybody knows it, then why are they waiting
On a gas line
I think it must be a test to weed the best from the rest
But whatever they are doing is driving us
Out of our minds
Driving us out of our minds
But we always take it 'cause
Who said the world was fair
Or that we should care
What a way of thinking
The sun is free enough
It's shining there, shining there out of our reach
But if they can, they'll find a way
To make us pay for what we get
When we lay out on the beach


6.Running From Paradise

Words:d. hall, s. allen
Music:d. hall

I caught you staring at the ceiling
Captured by the mirror up there
Ok ok i see the separation
Makin love down here
While you're watching in the air
If you're looking for love
And you don't find it in my eyes
Then you're running from paradise.
Look before you leap, darling
Don't you know that you're
Running from paradise
I gave you every pose you asked for
Played every game you fantasize
I called your bluff, we're running out of breath
You're hooked on looking -- not on what you find
Papapaparadise


7.Number One

Words &
music:d. hall

Old girlfriend she come walkin down the street
When i saw her it was like seeing a stranger
But even if i try to work it up no emotions are there
That's when i realise what you are to me
And how much i really care
Number one
You're number one with me
Blast from the past say 'why don't you call me anymore
It's been too long and some nights i need you so.'
But even if i tried to work it up no emotions are there
And i realised what you are to me
And how much i really care
Number one
You're number one with me


8.Bebop Drop

Words &
music:j. oates

3 a.m.
I don't believe i hear the telephone ring
I wanna sleep
You wanna shake that thang
I wanna dream
You wanna dance all night
If i knew
If i knew you and better we could fight about it
You just wanna bebob but i just wanna drop
Don't call me
Because your boyfriend isn't home tonight
Don't pretend
Cause out of mind is only out of sight
It's much too late
Look and see how quick the candle burns
Go away
Go away and let my dreams return
You just wanna bebop but i just wanna drop

10.Intravino

Words:d. hall, j. oates, s. allen
Music:d. hall

Johnny walker leaves me black and red
And sick in the head
Cuervo gold so i'm told
Will make you useless in bed
Gimme o.j. with my stolichnaya
And the fires burn inside
Tanquerey gets me higher and higher
Don't like the rock & rye
Oh yeah need intravino
Oh yeah need intravino
Gimme wine, wine, i need intravino
Wine, wine, i need it every day-o
Wine, wine, mis en bouteilles au chateau
All the time, i need wine all the time.
Six o'clock gotta have beaujolais
Eight o'clock i open up pouilly-fuiss?love the ruby color. grand
cru classe
Never love another once i've savored that bouquet
Oh yeah need intravino
