Blue Tip lyrics - The Cars

You believe in anything
They tell you how to think
The simpletons all circle
In the raging roller rink

I'm trading in the alley
I'm booking up a storm
Forget about reality
Cause nothing is the norm
Yeah yeah

So what can you do
You say
They owe me a few yeah
Blue tip of your cue yeah

You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
You leave without a trace

All set to weary your heartland
Black and white tv
Stroking all the gunheads
Into the ninth degree

You here the screamers coming
They clamour in disguise
You think that you'd be running
To the other side
Yeah yeah

So what can you do
You say
They owe me a few yeah
Blue tip of your cue yeah

You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
Can't fill an empty space

(Ahh)
You stupify the thinkers
(Ahh)
You're hugging all the flakes
(Ahh)
And all the things you think are true
(Ahh)
Only mystify the fakes

Well keep your hat on backwards
And keep your lips tucked in
The world is full of quackers
And belly button rings

I know you'd like to be immune
To the things they say
You're hung up on your heroes
And upon the beast you pray
Yeah hey

What can you do
You say
Well they owe me a few yeah
Blue (blue) tip of your cue yeah

You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
You leave without a trace

You got that look on your face
You'd like to be in the race
You cannot hide your disgrace
You leave a bitter taste

Too Late lyrics - The cars

I could dream about
Things that never end
Oh, wishes on a star
Something 'round the bend

I remember times
Things were pretty clear
Felt the pressure pawns
Threw away the fears

I believe in you
And your sultry side
I would never jump
Your never-ending ride

My feet are on the ground
I'm in the lost and found
I might sway and tip
But never jump that ship

I'm never gonna get that crazy
I'm never gonna be shot down
Ya know it takes a lot to faze me
Whenever you're around

And you say
It's too late
All the storms in life
You have to contemplate

You say
It's too late
When the mornings rise
You gotta celebrate

You may cross the line
Or suck a clementine
But I know for sure
I need you nevermore

There's dreamers on the fringe
There's lovers on the binge
Nobody really knows
That's just the way it goes

I'm never gonna get that crazy
I'm never gonna be shot down
You know it takes a lot to faze me
Whenever you're around

And you say
It's too late
All the storms in life
You gotta contemplate

You say
It's too late
When the mornings rise
You gotta celebrate

I can take a fall
Or hang it on the wall
No matter whatcha think
I'm always on the brink

You can throw a twist
And I can move like this
They give ya lots of slack
Then somethin' pulls you back

I'm never gonna get that crazy
I'm never gonna be shot down
Ya know it takes a lot to faze me
Whenever you're around

And you say
It's too late
All the storms in life
You gotta contemplate

You say
It's too late
When the mornings rise
You gotta celebrate

Keep On Knocking lyrics - The Cars

oh well the long street goes
for miles and miles
and it's picking up some strangers
and it's picking up some smiles

and the half breeds holler
they're educated guesses
and they got a lot of cheers
you guessed it you guessed it

they keep you in follow mode
they keep you in follow mode
take the street you never rode
they keep you, they keep on knocking
like the partys on, they keep on knocking
like the partys gone from dark til dawn

I got some friends
in random places
all kinds of ideas
all kinds of faces

they keep their ready shoes on
they keep their shirts on ice
and they're looking for the future
to loosen the vice

they keep you in follow mode
they hold up their signs
they keep you in follow mode
most of the time

they keep on knocking like the partys on
they keep on knocking from dark til dawn

they keep you in follow mode
they hold up their signs
they keep you in follow mode
all the time

they keep on knocking like the partys on
they keep on knocking yeah from dark til dawn

Soon lyrics - The Cars

you're my lover, you're the one I depend on
with one another we don't have to pretend

you could turn me down or over twice
you could treat me mean or treat me nice

but soon the time will come I know what I put you through
the time will run away from us like time it will do

you're my lover and forever my friend
when I touch you I never want it to end

when the starry night is left to dawn
the thought of you just keeps me dreaming on

but soon the time will come I know what I put you through
the time will run away from us like time it will do

when I need you, you will always be there
and you're my lover we can go anywhere

when the starry night is left to dawn
the thought of you just keeps me dreaming on

but soon the time will come I know what I put you through
the time will run away from us like time it will do

I know what I put you through

Sad Song lyrics - The cars

Too many screamers
Wearing a mask
Too many dreamers
Looking for the ones that last

Too many eyes
Looking for hope
Too many tears
Looking for a way to cope
It's no joke

It's just a sad song
That pulls you along yeah
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long

Too many thoughts
Breaking your stride
Too many jekylls
Feeling like a mr. hyde

Too many clouds
Darken your day
Too many rain drops
Falling on your thunder bay
Everyday
Yeah

It's just a sad song
That pulls you along yeah
It's just a sad song
And you're getting it on
It's just a sad song
That pulls you along
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long

Too many heartaches
Waiting to strike
Too many clowns
Saying everything's all right

Too many fires
Scorching your mind
Too many preachers
Saying what you should find
Just see the signs

It's just a sad song
That pulls you along yeah
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long

It's just a sad song
It pulls you along
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long

It's just a sad song
A sad song yeah

It's just a sad song
And you're getting it on

It's just a sad song
Sad song
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long

Drag On Forever lyrics - The Cars

I felt the pressure and I passed it off
I heard your glockenspiel pounding soft
I climbed on top of you, you said get off
must this drag on forever

I tripped and stumbled in the dead of the night
flashing my endless stream of kryptonite
I lit my brain with rainbow crystal lite
must this drag on forever

then things go so quite
like I should not be here
you said I had to try it
don't let me interfere
just get me out of here

your waxy face is melting on your lap
I sat there trying to crush a ginger snap
your scream was sounding like a thunderclap
must this drag on forever

your coconut windows hid the light so well
your testimony put me in a spell
you look so wasted that I could not tell
must this drag on forever

then things go so quite
like I should not be here
you said I had to try it
don't let me interfere
please help me out of here

must this drag on forever
must this drag on forever
must this drag on forever
must this drag on forever

Take Another Look lyrics - The Cars

shadows falling on my day
and time is standing still
you see things in a different way
a way that no one will

they're going to take the very thing
that's closest to your heart
they cannot mend your broken wings
you knew it from the start

so tell me...
don't you want to take another look away
don't you want to play the whole thing down
don't you want to take another look away
don't you want to take a look around

and rivers rolling to the sea
clouds are breaking high
you can't find tranquility
wherever it may hide

you played the game and now it's time
to keep the fire low
silver trains are rolling by
you have no place to go

so tell me...
don't you want to take another look away
don't you want to play the whole thing down
don't you want to take another look away
maybe you could turn it all around

your eyes are dim your heart is blue
cause nothing ever lasts
it's all too many miles to you
the best of friends must pass

so tell me...
don't you want to take another look away
don't you want to play the whole thing down
don't you want to take another look away
maybe have another go around

It's Only lyrics - The Cars

and the falls and the walls you think about it
and the calls and it crawls away
and you know that there's much to do about it
and you're caught in the ricochet

sometimes we just walk away from delirious skies
sometimes we just want to feel so electrified

it's only, yeah it's only to please the eyes and plague the heart

fun flicks and the trick you knew about it
dead bolts and a weird ways
and the times and the rhymes you knew about it
and the crimes they just fade away

sometimes we just walk away from delirious skies
sometimes we just want to feel so electrified

it's only, yeah it's only to please the eyes and plague the heart

and now I see the ones you want
and I know the ones you share
and you deceive the ones you dare

and the drift and the gift they give to you
and it turns to another day
and the mess and the stress you feel about it
it fades away

sometimes we just walk away from delirious skies
sometimes we just want to feel so electrified

it's only, yeah it's only to please the eyes and plague the heart

Hits Me lyrics - The Cars

I was sucking on the sorry sights
I was watching out for things that bite
I was tripping on my own two feet
I was feeling like I got on sleep

and my thoughts were getting unrestrained
and I was looking like Ichabod Crane
I was looking for some serious fun
cause a bad excuse is better than none

then it hits me, yeah it hits me
I gotta just get through it and I'll be fine
I gotta just get through these changing times

I was paranoid about the signs
they say it's just another dangerous times
I don't answer I just decompose
cause I'm running with a painted rose

I don't relate to the things they say
and I don't want to be like them today
I know it's useless dumb and it's crass
but I guess I'm just a real outcast

then it hits me, yeah it hits me
I gotta just get through it and I'll be fine
I gotta just get through these changing times

I gotta just get through it
I gotta just get through it

you could talk me into bitter sweet
you could grab me off the bright night street
you gotta keep it really tight and warm
you gotta keep me laughing in the storm

well the roads are feeling hollow and steep
and I want to sew what I reap
I keep forgetting what I just forgot
I don't know if I'm ready or not

then it hits me, yeah it hits me
I gotta just get through it and I'll be fine
I gotta just get through these changing times

I gotta just get through it
I gotta just get through these changing times

Leave Or Stay lyrics - The Cars

i stood beside the rain today
and i twisted out my shirt
she's a cooly you could say
when she gets down to the dirt
she puffs her pillow up so high
it's like she's hanging in the sky
she claims it was some crazy guy
who taught her how to hurt
and kept her so alert
i felt so under sideways down
when she showed me all her prints
i could not help but feel confused
when she threw that heavy hint
she pulled out all her magzaines
she spread them out like chocolate dreams
her eyes were shooting dagger beams
she changed into her silk
i stood there drinking milk
i could leave or stay
makes no difference either way
she said don't listen to her words
as if they were all dead
she said she never made decisions
but the last thing that she said
just before she turned the bed
she said i could leave or stay

You Are The Girl lyrics - The Cars

why don't you dream anymore
what's in the way
how come you point to the door
and ask me to stay
why don't you flash that smile
like you used to do
why don't you stay for awhile
it's up to you
you are the girl
that keeps me up at night
you are the girl
that makes me feel allright
you are the girl
you give me a twirl
you are the girl
in my dreams
why don't we talk anymore
what did i say
how is it what i came for
is floating away

Double Trouble lyrics - The Cars

they got a line on you
little bit of trouble too
you got some jets inside
cherry lips and delirious eyes
you get in trouble
and it keeps you down
double trouble
you get in trouble
when you come to town
double trouble
they better chain your hands
spread some evil
pick and pan
you got some jets inside
you have to live
with those empty eyes
you got some jets inside
broken promises
broken pride

Fine Line lyrics - The Cars

how would i know about your life
how about a long night
how do you follow the sun
how do you stay under the thumb
there's a fine line between us
such a fine fine line
there's a fine line between us
and it's always on my mind
what can you say to make me realize
the full moon in your eyes
you probably know now that you're waking up
you still feel shaken up
there's a fine line between us
all the way
there's a fine line between us
can't waste another day
they take you in their arms and whisper
what you want to hear don't you fall
they show you all their charms and whisper
don't you shed a tear don't you fall

Everything You Say lyrics - The Cars

they can't stop you in the night
twirling wildly in the light
but i know honey it won't take long
feels like it's one on one on one
there must have been a dream in you
stick and fall and follow through
but i know honey it won't take long
feels like it's much too strong too strong
but then you tell me that you can't go on
and you think you're losing sight
don't you worry
you can't go wrong inside
everything you say
leaves me full of shine
everything you say
crosses up my mind
that's everything you say
you could twist a little while
lie there fallin for a smile
but i know honey you won't give in
feels like when you begin you're in
then you tell me that you can't resist
something happens that you like
you want to know
that you've been kissed goodnight
when you know it's not for real
i know honey for one long time
it feels like you're endlessly entwined
but i know it's what you did
you can't be in a broken binge
take my heart is only tin

Ta Ta Wayo Wayo lyrics - The Cars

hot sun in the city
the symphony is clear
the girls are so pretty
post card souvenir
i feel it coming on
hot sun in the city
i feel it coming on
the joints are still ripping
all faces aglow
the hearts are still skipping
ta ta wayo wayo
i feel it coming on
hot sun in the city
i feel it coming on
the transistor beaches
hot tan on white sand
the motel with peaches
it's getting out of hand
i feel it coming on
hot sun in the city
i feel it coming on

Strap Me In lyrics - The Cars

you took me for a ride
you beat me to the gun
and from the other side
you came undone
but when you tell me to
i want to give in
just like you want me to
oh oh i'm falling through
you better strap me in
all night long
you took me by the way
you showed me what is fun
just like a ricochet
back you come
and when you tell me to
i want to give it
just like you want me to
oh oh i'm falling through
you better strap me in
all night long

Coming Up You lyrics - The Cars

how could they leave you standing
holding on to the air
never a hope of landing
didn't they know you cared
you're finding out
it's never quite like it seems
you're finding out
it's never quite like it dreams
didn't you get connected
when things were still upside down
feeling somewhat neglected
turning the tide around
it keeps coming up you again
you're never to hard to find
it keeps coming up you again
they're taking up all your time
it keeps coming up you
coming up you again
however you want to take it
with streamers of violet
if only you could forsake it
it stifles your etiquette
