Why can't we be (together)?
Could you love me, don't hate me
I don't see (why can't we live together)
Maybe we could get it on (maybe we could get it on)
Should be our destiny
There's a cold streak living (inside us)
There's no rainbows... just bullets and bombs
If you want to rise up
We can make this hate stop
Now don't you want to rise up

[Chorus:]
We've been giving hate a chance
(We've got all this love to give, you know)
And the love will be running out for us
Can you feel the dreams of life
We're hoping we can still survive
As the wind carries every dove away

So why do we see (these coulours)
It's only skin deep, don't mean a thing
(So clear underneath this we're all brothers)
Can't you see it's killing us
(Can't you see it's killing us)
Can't you see it's killing me
Trigger happy fantasy
So stand up and be (so strong now)
Freedom is not so far away
If you know you want to rise up
We can make this hate stop
Don't you want to rise up

[Chorus]

The wind carries every dove away
The wind carries every dove away (every dove away)
Dove, dove, dove, dove, dove, dove, dove

Now you've been taking our dignity for too long
I want to save this sanctity that we hold
And who's right and who's wrong
We're not so different anyway
Words are in this song
Can't we stop the fighting?

[Chorus]

Don't give this hate a chance
We've got all this love to give, you know
That this dream's alive, will still survive
Until no more people have to cry
Don't give this hate a chance
We've got all this love to give, you know
That this dream's alive, will still survive
Until no more people have to cry
Don't give this hate a chance
We've got all this love to give, you know
That this dream's alive, will still survive
Until no more people have to cry

Hey you are freaking out
Trying to get your head around the fact that me and you in love is dead
See how I'm troubled now
Cos you can't decide what you really want from me
Why does it have to be like this
I can never tell
Cos you make me love you, love you, baby
With a little L
Hey you are shouting out
Cranking up your altercations
Getting upset in your desperation
Screaming and hollering
How can this love become so baby things
You're playing so hard to get
You're making me sweat
Just to hold your attention
I can't give you nothing more
If you ain't giving nothing to me, don't you know that
You make me love you, love you, baby
With a little L
Why does it have to be like this
I can never tell
Seems like you're stepping on the pieces
Of my broken shell
Cause you make me love you, love you
With a little L love you know that's the way you make me love you yeah

Everybody
Don't want no war,

'Cos we're too young to die,
So many people,
All around the world,
Seen their brothers fry.
What's the motive?
In your madness.
You've made my people cry.
So politicians this time
Keep your distance.

'Cos we're too young to die.
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,

What's the answer?
To our problems.
I think we've gone too high,
Little children,
Never said a word now,
But still they have to die.
It won't be long.
Dancing like we do now,
To put this sad world right.
So don't you worry,
Suffer no more,

'Cos we're too young to die.
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,

All gone when they drop the bomb.
Can the politicians reassure?
'Cos here I am presuming that
Nobody wants a war
There's so many people praying
Just to find out if they're staying.
But lately stately governments
And disillusioned leaders,
So full of empty promises
But rarely do they feed us.
Put our backs against the wall,
Or don't we count at all?

Can you decide,
Are you mesmerised.
Do you know which side you're standing?
Cos when it falls gonna take us all.
Gotta know what we're demanding,
I never lie,
Can't your hear the cry,
Coming from on high,
WE'RE TOO YOUNG TO DIE.

Yesterday I was
Half the man I used to be
Oh, maybe that's because
You're the other helf of me
Like the spring in bloom
The summer of our love is soon
Every bird will sing
The melody of our love tune.

Send down from above
Unconditionally love
Likened to a flower
Stronger love grows by the hour
Stormy weather days
Make us go our separate ways
Where our love was so at ease
Now you got me down on my knees.

Yesterday I was
Brighter than the morning sun
Now my love is lost
And lonely days have just begun
A solitary chair
For a silent love affair
A king lost his throne
And now he sits alone.

I must've died and gone to heaven
Cos it was a quarter past eleven
On a Saturday in 1999
Right across from where I'm standing
On the dance floor she was landing
It was clear that she was from another time
Like some baby Barbarella
With the stars as her umbrella
She asked me if I'd like to magnetise
Do I have to go star-trekking
Cos it's you I should be checking
So she lazer beamed me with her cosmic eyes

She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy
Transmitting on my frequency
She's cosmic

I'm scanning all my radars
We'll she said she's from a quasar
Forty thousand million light years away
It's a distant solar system
I tried to phone but they don't list 'em
So I asked her for a number all the same
She said, step in my transporter
So I can teleport ya
All around my heavenly body
This could be a close encounter
I should take care not to flounder
Sends me into hyperspace, when I see her pretty face

She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy
Transmitting on my frequency
She's cosmic

Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face

She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
Transmitting on my frequency yeah cosmic, oh
Can't you be my cosmic woman?
I need you, I want you to be my cosmic girl
For the rest of time (Fade)

Hey hey
Hey hey
Let the rain come down on me
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I see people and they're craving blood
And I'm so rarely understood
Well I don't know what they want from me,
It's gonna take sometime just to let them see

I'm going through a black, hey Capricorn day
And though it doesn't seem so
I'm going through a black hey Capricorn day
Though you want to check me out
I'm not the man to play, play, play, play.

Hey hey
Don't you see I'm not the man to play
Hey hey
No way you can play with me today
Hey hey
Just let me sing it to my Capricorn day
Hey hey

My heart is a pure sun and the sky is black
And I can feel cold steel when I turn my back
It stings like needles, with a jagged tongue
You know this scream reminds me
Of when I was so young

I never had any of those
Black hey Capricorn days
Though it doesn't seem so
I've got to get this way
I'm going through a black hey Capricorn day
and though you want to check me out
I'm not the man to Play, play, play, play

It's just to black for me (x14)
It's just too black

I'm stuck on the highway
leading straight to hell
Like any other drifter with a soul to sell
You know I'm dealing with the devil
In everyone I meet
And their faces tell a story,
That life ain't so sweet
(repeat 1st chorus)

You know this boogie is for real

I used to put my faith in worship
But then a chance to get too Heaven sent
I used to worry about the future
But then I'll throw my caution to the wi-i-i-ind
I had no reason to be carefree
No no no Until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah yeah, yeah
You know I heard that boogie rhythm (hey!)
I had no choice but to get down, down, down, down

Dance.Whooo!
Nothing left for me to do but
Dance
All these bad times I'm going through, just
Dance
Got Canned Heat in my heels tonight, baby...
Whoooooo ohhh

I feel the thunder,
see the lightning
I know this anger's heaven sent
So I've got to hang out on my hang-ups
Cos on the boogie I feel so hell-bent
(hey, hey)
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I've never ever felt like this before
I don't know what to do
But then that's nothing new
Stuck between hell and high water
Me I'll kill to make it through (Hey!)

Dance.yeah
Nothing left for me to do but
Dance
All these bad times I'm going through, just
Dance Yeah

Dance yeah! Got canned heat in my heels tonight baby!
You know I've got canned heat in my heels baby

Only the wind can blow the answer

And she cries to me when I'm asleep
She says you know that you can go much faster
I know that peoples' talk can be so cheap
Yeah yeah
I got this voodoo child inveined on me
I'm gonna use my power to ascend
You know I got these running heels to use
Sometimes there's no way to lose
I was born to run
And built to last
You've never seen my feet
They can go so fast
