I'm chasing dreams again
And when I've caught them all
I'll keep them shiny bright
In case you call
...
Captain of my soul
Please don't make me take the wheel
I'm feeling very strange
Please tell me if it's real
...
Was it you that I saw
stepping out on the floor
Was it you dancing close to him
Were you angry or lonely
...
Flesh is fragile
Rips with ease
Blood is a potion
That makes you weak at the knees
...
She sits in silence by the sea
And thinks about what might have been
She sees the waves crash to the shore
And wishes she was one of them
...
We danced round the fire
And got touched by the burning embers
The flames took us higher
To somewhere I can't remember
...
I felt it slip though my fingers
It seared my skin yet I felt no pain
And, as it fell to the floor
I heard it groan like a wounded animal
...
As the white man plays
The black man begs
For a few spare coins
At the water's edge

Hot Love (Ready To Go)
I'm chasing dreams again
And when I've caught them all
I'll keep them shiny bright
In case you call
Is that your voice I hear
In the telephone
Or is it just the fear
Of being alone
Cut down to size again
I'm on my hands and knees
I'm so exciteable
Oh touch me please
O got my fingers burned
Electricity
Naked like a flame
Please cover me
Do I light up your life at all
Do you glow in the dark
What sparks your fire
Tell me, I need to know
Hot love
I'm ready to go
