1.Fly By Night
Lyricist：Ric Ocasek
Pale dolls dancin' in the street
Harlequin lovers stamp their feet
They want to fly forever
Rough and ready Romeos
Skin tight angels that never show
They want to fly forever
And when you come away
It's your holiday
You got to fly by night once in awhile
You got to fly by night
Fly by night once in awhile
You got to fly by night
Bad boys bouncin' boom box beat
You better never take their heat
They want to cry forever
And when you want to play
You got to slip away
You got to fly by night once in awhile
You got to fly by night
Fly by night once in awhile
You got to fly by night
And leave us your smile
It could go on forever
And when you want to play
You got to slip away
2.89 Lines
As a dog with a bone is always in danger
So's a woman with a bag when meeting dark strangers
She holds it just a little bit tighter
Which she wouldn't do if my skin were lighter
It's not in my mind, I've been around the block a few times
Every time she crosses to the other side
Women supposedly got that intuition
So they should no better but that's a dubious distinction
It's not a figment of my imagination it happens a lot
When I flag down a cab it doesn't stop
Not because I look dangerous or nothing like that
It's not 'cause he's off duty it's 'cause I'm black
The police come flying around
The corner with the red light screaming
I pulled over to let them pass, they pulled over too
I thought that I was dreaming
I'm scared to death of our men in blue
It must be cold over there in your shoes
So close your eyes in silent night
Bet you can't tell if I'm black or white
Turn out the lights, stand here by my side
'Cause we're all alike on the inside
One step up then two to the side
One more, man, let the sleeping dog lie
From the back of the bus to screams in the night
Planting flowers of fire with these 89 lines
Doesn't it bring back some terrifying memories？
There goes the President making more enemies
If he's doing to his wife what he's doing to the country
She'd be happy, we could stand up and dump the monkey
I ask not what I can do for my country
'Cause I wonder sometimes if it cares for me
The government could change a lot with education
And catching kids before they start to think in races
And eliminate a lot of infuriating situations
Your blindness not of eyes, you go public with your lies
Then as to prove you have a heart in private you apologize
Seems my history is a set of lies agreed upon by you
Repeated so many times and for so long accepted as the truth
Like an unfriendly takeover attempt
I get in ,you hold on fuckin' coincidence
Like a nicotine stain it won't go away
And it won't if you raise your kids this way
So close your eyes in silent night
Bet you can't tell if I'm black or white
Turn out the lights stand here by my side
'Cause we're all alike on the inside
One step up then two to the side
One more, man, let the sleeping dog lie
From the back of the bus to screams in the night
Planting flowers of fire with these 89 lines
What's your favorite color？ What's your favorite color？
For those victimized by this ultimate violence
We now observe a moment of silence
3.Moment Of Truth
Face to face with my demons
Tearing apart everything I've done
And I don't have a parachute
Splintering down a burning tree
My confidence is leaving me
And I don't have a parachute
I've got to let go
It might be the last fall
I'm heading for
The moment of truth calling out now
The moment of truth is stripping me down
Moment of truth calling out now
And the clock ticks on
Looking down the precipice
A lover's touch brought me to this
And I don't have a substitute
Rocks are breaking off below
I feel I'm losing my foothold
And I don't have a substitute
I've got to let go
But it might be one more lie
I'm falling for
The moment of truth calling out now
The moment of truth is stripping me down
Moment of truth calling out now
And the clock ticks on
And the time is now
And the light shines on
And the light shines on
The moment of truth calling out now
Moment of truth calling out now
Calling out, calling out
4.Too Far To Fall
Baby blue, those eyes of yours
Disguise a world of lies
And I was one more soul to sell
I'm a fool, I fell into
Those eyes of blue and died
Now I lay between your heaven and hell
My heart says one thing
And my body does another
My mind say you won't be home tonight
I know your love
Maybe you're too far to fall
I can't go on, maybe you're too far to fall
In your hands
The woman in me feeling so alive
When we're playing out the secrets we share
Hard to stand
Imagining the passion in your wife
Then ashamed I lie here naked and scared
Your heart says one things
And baby, nobody wants another
But my mind say I won't be home tonight
I know your love
Maybe you're too far to fall
I can't go on, maybe you're too far to fall
I know, I know
You want me now, you want it all
I can't let go, maybe you're too far to fall
5.Once Upon A Time
Daddy said I'd always be his little girl
Stories of wonder that he would tell
Daddy said our world could be anything
A tower of glory, a street of gold
But Daddy would hide from the coming rains
He closed the windows and locked the doors
Then he got high to stop the pain
'Til I didn't know hi anymore
The man that I remember
He carried me through it all
Man that I remember
Whatever happened to？
Once upon a time
Somewhere in our minds
Once, the dream we knew
It was true, it was true for you
Once upon a time
We left so far behind
No one to pull you through
I was lost and I lost you
Maybe it was the sweetness of his youth
Made it all so bitter when he grew old
Maybe his words never set him free
Made all the failures so hard to hold
How long can you hide from the falling rain
Before the lies are all that you believe？
He flew high above his shame
Leaving the words, 'It's too late for me'
The man that I remember
He loved his life above all
Man that I remember
Whatever happened to？
Once upon a time
Somewhere in our minds
Once, the dream we knew
It was true, it was true for you
Once upon a time
We left so far behind
No one to lead you through
I was lost and I lost you
There must be a light
There's gotta be a light out there
(Why one will go on？)
There must be a light
(While another will turn away)
There's gotta be light
