People don't read so easy
Never wanna say what's on their mind
Go from dreams to dollars
Then they wonder why the truth seems so unkind
They just hold on tighter and tighter
Running down the road that they know so well
Never wanna change the order
Too quick to say that time will tell
Let It Out - unlock the box
Let It Out - unravel the knots
Let It Out - if you've got something to say
Let It Out - get it out of the way
Why be an Artful Dodger
Come cool kind of fool who can slide on by
There's a whole lot of Art in sadness
So make it worth your while if you're gonna cry
Let It Out - unlock the box
Let It Out - unravel the knots
Let It Out - if you've got something to say
Let It Out - get it out of the way
You've got to push pull
Loosen up baby
Let out all the rage
Get a little crazy
Rearrange your furniture
Don't be afraid
You gotta push it
Pull it
Push it
Pull it
Any way you gotta do it
Just as long as you Let It Out
What's Gonna Happen To Us lyrics - Daryl Hall
I saw on the TV we're sellin' Arms to the enemy
So he can blow us all down
When we charge with the cards in our hands
And men in power places are resigning
'Cause even in high seats the woman is still fighting with the man
And tho I thought the time of the tough guy was just about over
Here comes another savior to stir the soldiers in the field
But what do the generals think about while the soldiers are dying
'Cause the rallying cries don't reach 'em
And if they could feel they'd say
What's Gonna Happen To Us
Does your shrink say find out who you are
Before you try to become a part of me
I'd think you'd want to anyway
She can't help you live out a middle-class fantasy
But can she talk you into leavin'
when your heart tells you to stay
Just when I thought the era of the guru was over
Here comes another savior to stir the soldiers in the field
What does the teacher care about while the student is trying
'Cause your crying mind don't reach her
If she could feel she'd say
What's Gonna Happen To Us
So he can blow us all down
When we charge with the cards in our hands
And men in power places are resigning
'Cause even in high seats the woman is still fighting with the man
And tho I thought the time of the tough guy was just about over
Here comes another savior to stir the soldiers in the field
But what do the generals think about while the soldiers are dying
'Cause the rallying cries don't reach 'em
And if they could feel they'd say
What's Gonna Happen To Us
Does your shrink say find out who you are
Before you try to become a part of me
I'd think you'd want to anyway
She can't help you live out a middle-class fantasy
But can she talk you into leavin'
when your heart tells you to stay
Just when I thought the era of the guru was over
Here comes another savior to stir the soldiers in the field
What does the teacher care about while the student is trying
'Cause your crying mind don't reach her
If she could feel she'd say
What's Gonna Happen To Us
Sacred Songs lyrics - Daryl Hall
I like to read and I like to write
But you could persuade me to put the book down tonight
Just please don't ask to be a song heroine
It's not that easy just to stick you in, stick you in
Oh babe, I know you're right
But there's no time and it's not the night
I'd have to face you again and again
Although you know I'd like to stick you in, stick you in
They're all sacred songs
They're not easily won
You know the words
just seem to live on
The thoughts are sacred
Tho' the sound is profane
But this and that you know they're
one and the same
one and the same
one and the one and the same
You never know how you're gonna end
I start out hard and I end up thin
You waste your time
but occasionally score
But you can't tell
from what went down before
Oh, babe, do you see my point?
There's just no time
and it's not the night
I'd have to face you again and again
Although you know
I'd like to stick it in
stick it in
They're all sacred songs
They're not easily won
Because there's nothing
sacred anymore
The thoughts can still be
Tho' the sound is profane
But this and that you know they're
one and the same
one and the same
one and the one and the same
But you could persuade me to put the book down tonight
Just please don't ask to be a song heroine
It's not that easy just to stick you in, stick you in
Oh babe, I know you're right
But there's no time and it's not the night
I'd have to face you again and again
Although you know I'd like to stick you in, stick you in
They're all sacred songs
They're not easily won
You know the words
just seem to live on
The thoughts are sacred
Tho' the sound is profane
But this and that you know they're
one and the same
one and the same
one and the one and the same
You never know how you're gonna end
I start out hard and I end up thin
You waste your time
but occasionally score
But you can't tell
from what went down before
Oh, babe, do you see my point?
There's just no time
and it's not the night
I'd have to face you again and again
Although you know
I'd like to stick it in
stick it in
They're all sacred songs
They're not easily won
Because there's nothing
sacred anymore
The thoughts can still be
Tho' the sound is profane
But this and that you know they're
one and the same
one and the same
one and the one and the same
Something In 4/4 Time lyrics - Daryl Hall
Sooner or later it's a matter of money
And then it's just a matter of time
You can say you don't care and you think it's funny
But baby it's your life on the line
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes
Continue to dream after you're robbed of sleep
even though the images fade
So grab what you can and all you can keep
Do you really think you'll come out unhurt?
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes
And then it's just a matter of time
You can say you don't care and you think it's funny
But baby it's your life on the line
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes
Continue to dream after you're robbed of sleep
even though the images fade
So grab what you can and all you can keep
Do you really think you'll come out unhurt?
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes
Babs And Babs lyrics - Daryl Hall
Babs and Babs lay dreaming in a four poster bed
Arm in arm, head to head, Babs and Babs
Babs said, "Whatcha thinking?"
She said, "Nothing
But I never do 'cause I leave it up to you"
Babs looked out the window
Saw the moon and the sky
She saw the clouds drifting by
Voices crying and sighing and dying but she said nothing
"Look out on the lawn, there's a moon out tonight
There's a moon out tonight, can't ya see? "
"Silver dreams don't move me or your talk of the stars
And this isn't the time or place to make a fool of me.
No one wants to hear you when you're slipping away
And the light of your day always shows up the strength of your vision"
But she said nothing.
So Babs said "Don't you worry, I'll take good care of you
You're lack of feeling's a rotten thing
But I'll show you what to do.
Girl, you've got to get away
Girl, you've got to feel, oh, yeah."
Babs said "Don't you patronize me, I'm fine the way I am
At least I know what's happening
And I know just where I stand.
You live alone you die alone
When your dreams all fade away, oh, yeah."
Never compromising, never see eye to eye
So they turn, with a sigh, Babs and Babs
Have to be together like the night and the day
So they might as well stay the best of friends.
Locked in love we leave them with the moon in the sky
With the clouds drifting by
Voices crying and sighing and dying and we say nothing
She said nothing
Arm in arm, head to head, Babs and Babs
Babs said, "Whatcha thinking?"
She said, "Nothing
But I never do 'cause I leave it up to you"
Babs looked out the window
Saw the moon and the sky
She saw the clouds drifting by
Voices crying and sighing and dying but she said nothing
"Look out on the lawn, there's a moon out tonight
There's a moon out tonight, can't ya see? "
"Silver dreams don't move me or your talk of the stars
And this isn't the time or place to make a fool of me.
No one wants to hear you when you're slipping away
And the light of your day always shows up the strength of your vision"
But she said nothing.
So Babs said "Don't you worry, I'll take good care of you
You're lack of feeling's a rotten thing
But I'll show you what to do.
Girl, you've got to get away
Girl, you've got to feel, oh, yeah."
Babs said "Don't you patronize me, I'm fine the way I am
At least I know what's happening
And I know just where I stand.
You live alone you die alone
When your dreams all fade away, oh, yeah."
Never compromising, never see eye to eye
So they turn, with a sigh, Babs and Babs
Have to be together like the night and the day
So they might as well stay the best of friends.
Locked in love we leave them with the moon in the sky
With the clouds drifting by
Voices crying and sighing and dying and we say nothing
She said nothing
NYCNY lyrics - Daryl Hall
So whadya want?
Is it déja vu or have I been here before?
I don't know but
Everything about you is still the same
Everything about you is so alive
Too much time around, you start to kick my ass
Too much time away, I lose my lease
(new york love me) so good, so good
(new york love me) keep my head up
(ny love me) nyc, I see
(ny why me) am I ny?
Try to run away
Ya know it's no use
Tongue in cheek so I can't speak
Vibrations knock my screws loose
Everything about you is still the same
Everything about you is so alive
Too much time around, you start to kick my ass
Too much time away, I lose my lease
(new york love me) so good, so good
(new york love me) keep my head up
(ny love me) nyc, I see
(ny why me) am I ny?
Written in the air
Written on return
Nowhere bright as here nowhere else
Written in the air
Written on return
Stones and fever dreams nothing else...
Nyc see ya real soon
Try to run away
Ya know it's no use
Tongue in cheek so I can't speak
Vibrations knock my screws loose
Well it ain't love
It ain't art
It's pressure
Pain in the heart that moves me
Nyc
That grooves me
Nyc
You move me
Nyc you lose me
Nyc
Everything about you is still the same
Everything about you is so alive
Too much time around, you start to kick my ass
Too much time away, I lose my lease
(new york love me) so good, so good
(new york love me) keep my head up
(ny love me) nyc, I see
(ny why me) am I ny?
Is it déja vu or have I been here before?
I don't know but
Everything about you is still the same
Everything about you is so alive
Too much time around, you start to kick my ass
Too much time away, I lose my lease
(new york love me) so good, so good
(new york love me) keep my head up

The Farther Away I Am lyrics - Daryl Hall
The farther away I am,
The farther away I am
Is it just a cloud passing under
I don't want to lose you.......
The farther away I am
Is it just a cloud passing under
I don't want to lose you.......
Why Was It So Easy lyrics - Daryl Hall
The light from your star is glowing
Yeah, I see you in the magazine
Your face seems older now, more knowing
But I prefer a woman to a teenage queen
The wine and the confusion
It's your game and you play it so cool
That night seems like an illusion
In your hotel room
German eyes, blonde disguise
Never really knew who I was talking to
But if you're supposed to be such a mystery
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Too much time has come between us
And the sad words that I hear you say
Must mean you don't hold me inside you
But I guess it couldn't go any other way
That night is so far behind us
The words are changed and so is the time
I only hope that you think of me
In a hotel room
Oh those eyes, blonde disguise
Never really knew who I was talking to
But if you're supposed to be such a mystery
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Yeah, I see you in the magazine
Your face seems older now, more knowing
But I prefer a woman to a teenage queen
The wine and the confusion
It's your game and you play it so cool
That night seems like an illusion
In your hotel room
German eyes, blonde disguise
Never really knew who I was talking to
But if you're supposed to be such a mystery
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Too much time has come between us
And the sad words that I hear you say
Must mean you don't hold me inside you
But I guess it couldn't go any other way
That night is so far behind us
The words are changed and so is the time
I only hope that you think of me
In a hotel room
Oh those eyes, blonde disguise
Never really knew who I was talking to
But if you're supposed to be such a mystery
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Don't Leave Me Alone With Her lyrics - Daryl Hall
Levels
It's just a case of choosing my priorities
Stages
It's just the art of changing our perception
But when I see that girl it messes my security
So please don't leave me alone with her
She always calls me when I'm still at home
Hope I can call you while you're still at home
She always calls before I get away
Hope I can catch you before you get away
Levels
Always a case of choosing my priorities
Stages
It's just the art of changing our perception
But when I see that girl it messes my securities
So please don't leave me alone with her
She wants five minutes of what's taken me a lifetime
I get to see you in between your shows
There are different stages, levels, steps
I think we're far enough gone to worry now
She wants five minutes of what's taken me a lifetime
It's just a case of choosing my priorities
Stages
It's just the art of changing our perception
But when I see that girl it messes my security
So please don't leave me alone with her
She always calls me when I'm still at home
Hope I can call you while you're still at home
She always calls before I get away
Hope I can catch you before you get away
Levels
Always a case of choosing my priorities
Stages
It's just the art of changing our perception
But when I see that girl it messes my securities
So please don't leave me alone with her
She wants five minutes of what's taken me a lifetime
I get to see you in between your shows
There are different stages, levels, steps
I think we're far enough gone to worry now
She wants five minutes of what's taken me a lifetime
Survive lyrics - Daryl Hall
Whatever happened to you
The one that was so beautiful
I could count on you to make my life a little brighter
I always thought you were built to last
But I never saw anything fall apart so fast
You were born in freedom
To be a slave to your inhibitions
Inventing excuses and proving the right to back up your condition
But a soul like that ain't tied too tight
And it's liable to scatter all over the night
The one that was so beautiful
I could count on you to make my life a little brighter
I always thought you were built to last
But I never saw anything fall apart so fast
You were born in freedom
To be a slave to your inhibitions
Inventing excuses and proving the right to back up your condition
But a soul like that ain't tied too tight
And it's liable to scatter all over the night
Without Tears lyrics - Daryl Hall
Too much time is wasted on the world
Too much time is wasted on you, girl
Indifferent or cold
A dragged-up scene from an old dream
Does it surprise you where those feelings can go?
Too much power is wasted on the wrong words
Too much power is wasted on the words
And if there's one thing I've learned through the years
It's how to pour my heart out without tears
Without tears
Earth magic
Looking for the lines
But never knowing that stream
Ley line the spring that's always flowing
Spirals up and down then reverse direction
Don't you wonder where the energy goes?
Too many secrets have been told this way
Too many secrets have been given away
But if there's one thing I've learned through the years
It's how to pour my heart out without tears
Without tears
Earth magic
Too much time is wasted on you, girl
Indifferent or cold
A dragged-up scene from an old dream
Does it surprise you where those feelings can go?
Too much power is wasted on the wrong words
Too much power is wasted on the words
And if there's one thing I've learned through the years
It's how to pour my heart out without tears
Without tears
Earth magic
Looking for the lines
But never knowing that stream
Ley line the spring that's always flowing
Spirals up and down then reverse direction
Don't you wonder where the energy goes?
Too many secrets have been told this way
Too many secrets have been given away
But if there's one thing I've learned through the years
It's how to pour my heart out without tears
Without tears
Earth magic
You Burn Me Up I'm A Cigarette lyrics - Daryl Hall
You burn me up I'm a cigarette
You hold my hand I begin to sweat
You make me nervous
Ooh I'm nervous
It must be real bad karma
For this to be my dharma
With you
You burn me up I'm a cigarette
Life with you is a loser's bet
You make me crazy
Ooh I'm going crazy
Your therapeutic antics
Well they really make me frantic
With you
Strategic interaction irreducible fraction
Terminal inaction and a bitter hostile faction
I'm getting anxious
I'm franxious
Transactional diseases are the only thing that pleases
We
You burn me up I'm a cigarette
Demanding my attention which you're not gonna get
What did the sage mean?
What had the sage seen?
Musical elation is my only consolation
Oh yeah
You burn me up I'm about to ignite
When you tell me you love me I give up this fight
I'm feeling put down my feelings shut down
I want rejuvenation from male emancipation
Strategic interaction terminal inaction
A bitter hostile faction irreducible fraction
Transactional diseases are the only thing that pleases
We
You hold my hand I begin to sweat
You make me nervous
Ooh I'm nervous
It must be real bad karma
For this to be my dharma
With you
You burn me up I'm a cigarette
Life with you is a loser's bet
You make me crazy
Ooh I'm going crazy
Your therapeutic antics
Well they really make me frantic
With you
Strategic interaction irreducible fraction
Terminal inaction and a bitter hostile faction
I'm getting anxious
I'm franxious
Transactional diseases are the only thing that pleases
We
You burn me up I'm a cigarette
Demanding my attention which you're not gonna get
What did the sage mean?
What had the sage seen?
Musical elation is my only consolation
Oh yeah
You burn me up I'm about to ignite
When you tell me you love me I give up this fight
I'm feeling put down my feelings shut down
I want rejuvenation from male emancipation
Strategic interaction terminal inaction
A bitter hostile faction irreducible fraction
Transactional diseases are the only thing that pleases
