As I woke to start my day
I washed my hope and joy away
Putting on my brand-new suit and tie
I combed my hair back from my face
And found my smile had been replaced
With a weary frown and sadness in my eye
I need a shave
Again a slave
To what I thought that I should be
Wait for me, Anneli
As I walked and caught the train
My mind sung out a faint refrain
That somehow I had already missed my stop
As streets and houses passed me by
A Familiar shape just caught my eye
At our old street at our favorite coffee shop
I jumped from the car
But she was too far
She could not hear me call her name
Wait for me, Anneli
When I finally caught that girl
I spun her around into my world
And held her in a warm and loving embrace
Imagine her and my surprise
When we looked into each others eyes
and saw the shock on a stranger's face
I came unlaced
Wait for me, Anneli
Wait for me, Anneli
I need some metal affection
I'm sittin on hot burning steel
Pavement is my direction
Black leather appeal
Just let me ride
Switchblades and white knuckle madness
Are the formula for my mind
Need the road to take my sadness
Let the throttle undwind
Just let me ride
On the back is a leather bound bombshell
Be aware she's a smoking gun
Motor psychos are born to raise hell
Playing second to none
Just let me ride
Bye Bye Mind So Long you're gone
Bye Good Bye Mind So Long you're gone
I stuck my tongue out and she gave me foreign flavors
It tastes of leopard skin and flowers from the grave
Opened my eyes to all the colors of the rainbow
filled me with fantasies of rocking from the cradle
Bye Bye Mind So Long you're gone
Bye Good Bye Mind So Long you're gone
Come away to foreign lands she beconed me to follow
I could see nothing but a white light coming from my spine
An orange lense it covered me and filled my mind with wonder
Lifted me with all the love of blessings from the temple
Bye Bye Mind So Long you're gone
Bye Good Bye Mind So Long you're gone
1 and 1 makes 2
And me and you makes 2 as 1
No one ever had more fun
With adding up to 1
I've won
Bring us together
And we'll never weather the
Whether or nots
We'll tie the knot
And go wherever
Whenever
Forever
And ever
Where we will fit in
Your heart has been broken
But as just a little token
You can have mine
to take with you
For all time
If my heart was split in two
And some how subtracted from me and you
I don't know what I'd do
I don't know what I'd do
Nothing is nothing is nothing without you
Baby you'll see
we're living a dream
made for you and me
Strolling down the boulevard
Feel a little down
Can I get your calling card
Take you on the town
Cheer me up til Saturday
Sunday we can rest
When the love is real it always best
Love is all around us
You’ve just gotta find that hook
Love is all around us - Just look!
Chasing after butterflies
Picnic in the park
Can I meet your mommy
See you after dark
Cheer me up on Friday
Places we can go
Breakfast in the morning
I'll bring you wine & a song to your front door
Who could ever ask for more
There's not so much we can do until the night falls
Can't you hear me call
I'll bring you fun in the sun if you'd like
we can even ride a bike
But before we go out, we'll stay in
Let the adventure begin
We've got our whole lives set ahead
That's something we cannot forget
I'll turn off the TV and pull the shades
Don't you know we've got it made
Got it made, day to day
Hear me when I say
We've got our whole lives set ahead
That's something we cannot forget
We've got our whole lives set ahead
'Cause baby, you with me, that's the best
You'll bring me cups & cakes, birds & bees
You've got everything I need
I'll bring you wine & a song to your front door
Who could ever ask for more
