You were always the mysterious one with dark eyes and careless hair
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather
Well in case you failed to notice, in case you failed to see
This is my heart bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees
These foolish games are tearing me apart
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart"

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity

In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city"

Shiny and new"

This was a classic by Meat Loaf in the 1970s:

"Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears

And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But -- there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
cause two out of three ain't bad

Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I like what I hear
And now I'm stuck in the web
You're spinning
You got me for your prey...

Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And Ill call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And Ill call you back"

"How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball

Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky

Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova"
