House Tops

Is it a plane or a fast train?
I'm safe here, high & dry
Looking out on the house tops
Watching my life passing by
Every morning, every evening
I'm sitting here in this chair
Looking out on the house tops
Wondering if someone cares
And I hope
Those people are dancing
I hope
They dance cheek to cheek
I hope
They’re having a great time
And they don’t mind
That I dream
Is it real or a strange dream?
I'm living here, high & dry
Looking out on the house tops
Maybe I'm a bit too shy

Dawn in Pennsylvania
What am I doing here?
I'm waiting for a train
Going half past eight
What am I doing here?
I'm thinking about that call
Can't believe it at all
I think I must be mad
Who made that call?
A boy I once knew
But he made me feel blue
I know I must be mad
But he asked me
For his opening dance
What do you think
About the sound of Mrs Miller?
What do you think
Does it sound okay?
So I'm waiting for this train
Compartiment C, car 193
I've been trying to read this page
The same page for days
But my mind keeps wandering off
I'm sitting in this train
Some is lost, a lot to gain
Someone's waiting at the end of the line
He will be mine
He will be mine
He will be mine
He will be mine
He'll meet me at the station
We'll change this train for his car
Old fashioned he will hold my hand
And he will want me
And I sure want him
Hurry up train, l got to be there in time
He will be mine
He will be mine
He will be mine
He will be mine
And in the back of my mind is my wedding gown

Open all day
From 6 until 8
We've got more than fuel
For you
If you pass by
We'll give you our smile
We’ll clean your window
If you got the time
In our gas station
We're proud to please
See the signs, how clean they are
Every night I sit down on my knees
We’ve got a son
A very bright boy
He's a doctor, I'm proud to say
But he's too smart for gas
So I can't tell
How clean my signs will stay

Early Sunday Morning

Early Sunday morning
Few minutes after sunrise
Should have listened to my father
Should have taken his advice
Early Sunday morning
Everybody still asleep
I'm walking for my baby
To the bakery in our street
I'm feeling alone right now
No one left in the city but me
Never felt as small as right now
Only the sun stares at me
Early Sunday morning
It will be a sunny day
I'm trying to forget about last evening
What will he say when he’s awake
I'm feeling alone right now
No one left in the city but me
Never felt as small as right now
Only the sun stares at me
I just wanted to feel free
Early Sunday morning

New York Office

In an office
In New York
A girl opens her mail
She is hoping
She is waiting
But no mail from him
In an office
In New York
A girl waits by the phone
She knows for sure
That he will call
But the stupid thing doesn't ring
Who's that man with a strange hat
On the other side of the street?
Can you see what he is drawing?
Is he looking at me?
In a window
In New York
A girl is selling her charm
He can't stop
Looking at her
A man has to draw

Chop Suey

I know why you wanted to see me
And I know why you chose this place
I know the food is great here
But there is another reason, tells me your face
It's written somewhere in a handbook
For managers who seem to care
If you have to bring someone bad news
Try to do it in a public square
Or in Chop Suey
Tell me the truth
Here in Chop Suey
You're up to no good
You want me to clean my room
Is that it, spill it out
You want the house all for yourself now
And your little brat
I knew it, I saw it coming
I'm no fool, I have eyes, I can see
That's why we are here in Chop Suey
You hoped I wouldn't make a scene
Here in Chop Suey
Tell me the truth
Here in Chop Suey
I got to go
I got to go

He’s awake
Again
He thinks I am sleeping
There is a storm
Inside his head
He's awake
Again
I feel weak
Again
I sure want to help him
But I just can't get
Inside his head
I feel weak
Again
Excursion into philosophy
Can Schopenhauer help us out?
Excursion into philosophy
How to live with only doubt?
It's time to go
Again
Our friends, they are waiting
We will laugh
And talk
We'll go on
Again

Hotel by a Railroad

I'm getting used to you
Don't mind if I do
I'm getting used to you
Never thought I could
How long have we been together now?
Can't remember, forgot to count
When I was seventeen, it was a very good year
Maybe you were already around
The first time I fell in love, I still remember
A handsome boy, it wasn't you.
When he left me, Peggy Lee told me
I wouldn't die, and I didn't.
And then came you
Strange but in a nice kind of way
I wanted to give it a chance
And maybe I still want to today
I'm getting used to you
Don't mind if I do
I'm getting used to you
Never thought I could
Here in this room by the railroad
Waiting for the train to go home
Just saw our son with his family
Damned, has he grown
What are you saying? You love me?
Well I believe you, I think
After so many years together
It seems such a normal thing to say
And do I love you?
I noticed you never ask
Are you afraid maybe
That I don't know the answer?
I'm getting used to you
Don't mind if I do
I'm getting used to you
Never thought I could
And then came you,
Strange but in a nice kind of way
I wanted to give it a chance
And maybe I still want to today

A Woman in the Sun

I’m just a woman in the sun
Holding my breath to exhale
The late night moon came undone
Mmm, sweet nothing to inhale
A silent witness to the theft
Of my life, of my love
Another thought, another guess
Mmm, sweet nothing to inhale
Sweet the light, sweet the dream
Sweet the fire, sweet the heat
Sweet the face that could have been
Mmm, sweet nothing to inhale
I’m just a woman in the sun
Holding my breath to exhale
The late night moon came undone
Mmm, sweet nothing to inhale

Two On The Aisle

I'm waiting for the show
But I'm waiting all alone
The seat next to me
Only I can really see
This face pale and week
Sitting next to me
A ghost from our past
Waiting for the cast
Two on the aisle
That's what he used to buy
Two on the aisle
Having a great time
But time took him away from me
It isn't fair, but that's life you see
And he wouldn’t want it any other way
That's why I’m sitting here today
Two on the aisle
That's what he used to buy
Two on the aisle
Having a great time
Two on the aisle
That's what he used to buy
Two on the aisle
Having a great time
I'm waiting for the show
But I'm waiting all alone
The seat next to me
Only I can really see
