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

Wound Up On You lyrics - The Cars

took me long enough to find you
took me long enough to get you there
sometimes i feel like the sunshine lost
and i look for the crumbs you toss
took me long enough to get past your eyes
took me long enough to tranquilize
when you'd be laughing inside the storm
i can still feel your mouth so warm
you'll be back when you need someone
you'll pretend it was just for fun
i'm so wound up on you
i'm so wound up on you
i'm so wound up on you
and i'm easy when you need me
took me long enough to get over
took me long enough to figure out
you never meant to stay around
you never meant to be losing ground
here she comes with that tip toe walk
and she's ready just to have a talk

Go Away lyrics - The Cars

i think of you when i fantasize
the best i ever had
and i think of you when i'm driving
myself completely mad
why don't we go
why don't we go away
walkin' on the footbridge
high above the clouds
listening to your yesterday
didn't make a sound
dazzled by your sweet lips
touching on me
here comes something
you don't see
i think of you when i dramatize
the things we never did
and i think of you when i'm flying
or i'm feeling like a kid

Door To Door lyrics - The Cars

all us angles wearing studs
plastic mouth melts in the sun
running colors everyone
were all in prison having fun
perfect pictures hang around
delusions swing you up and down
falling out windows climbing up trees
illusions of tranquility
locks and chains
gonna blow your brains out
locks and chains
never felt like a dream like you before
even knocking door to door
herds of people choosing arms
keeps us all in mass alarm
murder movies make your day
living in the usa
cracked up people on the edge
got no heroes got no bread
get the jitters get the shakes
heading for the final take
locks and chains
can't feel no more
never felt a dream like you before
even knocking door to door
living in a dream is all the same

Hello Again lyrics - The cars

you might have forgot
the journey ends
you tied your knots
you made your friends
you left the scene
without a trace
one hand on the ground
one hand in space

you passed on mercy
you tried the rest
you gave your body
you gave the best
staring at the green door
living in the sky
you don't want to know it
you just want to fly

hello again

i know you're a dreamer
who's under the gun
i know you're a dreamer
who's only just begun

and when there's nothing
nothing left to loose
you leave it all
to fade to blue

you want to feel electric
you want to feel loose
you want to be eclectic
you want to call a truce
look at the profile
staring at the flame
waiting for the sunshine
standing in the rain

Looking For Love lyrics - The cars

come on lover
make the switch
pull the cover
make a wish
find out later
it's all right
keep the faith
kill the light

you can't stop
but you can't go on
you can't stop
but it won't be long

here she comes
looking for love

come on lover
do it fast
take advantage
while love lasts
limited edition
you're the one
walking the edge
don't you run

Magic lyrics - The Cars

summer turns me upside down
summer summer summer
it's like a merry go round
i see you under the midnight
all shackles and bows
how far will you take it
well no one knows
don't let me go
i got a hold on you tonight

oh oh it's magic
when i'm with you
oh oh it's magic
you know it's true
got a hold on you

twisted under sideways down
i know you're getting twisted
and you can't calm down
i see you under the midnight
love darts in your eyes
how far can you take it
till you realize
there's magic in your eyes

Drive lyrics - The cars

who's gonna tell you when
it's too late
who's gonna tell you things
aren't so great
you can't go on
thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight

who's gonna pick you up
when you fall
who's gonna hang it up
when you call
who's gonna pay attention
to your dreams
who's gonna plug their ears
when you scream

you can't go on
thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight

who's gonna hold you down
when you shake
who's gonna come around
when you break

Stranger Eyes lyrics - The Cars

you took the fall
you floated down
you took the jump
you fell through clouds
you watched the world
beat the crowd
come on ride me high
stranger eyes

you took the fall
you landed soft
thought to yourself
well i'm not alone
with your dark red soul
and your chaperone
come on ride me high
stranger eyes

well i need your touch
it means so much
some on ride me high
stranger eyes

You Might Think lyrics - The Cars

you might think i'm crazy
to hang around with you
maybe you think i'm lucky
to have something to do
but i think that you're wild
and inside me is some child
you might think it's foolish
or maybe it's untrue
you might think i'm crazy
but all i want is you

you might think it's hysterical
but i know when you're weak
you think you're in the movies
and everything's so deep
but i think that you're wild
when you flash that fragile smile
you might think it's foolish
what you put me through
you might think i'm crazy
but all i want is you

and it's so hard to take
there's no escape without a scrape
you kept it going till the sun fell down
you kept it going

you might think i'm delirious
the way i run you down
but somewhere sometime
when you're curious
i'll be back around
and i think that you're wild
and so uniquely styled
you might think it's foolish
this chancey rendezvous
you might think i'm crazy
but all I want is you

It's Not The Night lyrics - The Cars

it's not the night
for fooling
it's not the night
for crazy eyes
i get the feeling
you want to stay
i get the feeling
you're giving it all away
but i know
i know you take it well
and for you
for you i always fell

it's not the night
for sweet revenge
it's not the night
to end

the time is right
to take it out
the time is right for tango
i get the feeling
you're running out
before your last fandango

i get the feeling
you're the spark
that's dancing in the dark
i get the feeling
you're the one
rushing on the run

Why Can't I Have You lyrics - The Cars

dreamy lips set in motion flashing
breathless hush pounding soft lasting
glossy mouth taste untamed moving
carousel up and down
just like you

oh baby
just one more time to touch you
just one more time to tell you
you're on my mind
baby, why can't i have you
you're breaking my heart in two
you know what i'm going through
oh baby, why can't i have you

candy smile all the while glinting
your eyes like mica lethal pout hinting
felt the pressure tight and warm softly striking
i tripped and stumbled
i cling forever
i go all night

oh baby, just one more time to touch you
just one more time to tell you
i'm not so blind
baby, why can't i have you
it's breaking my heart in two
you know what i'm going through
oh baby, why can't i have you

I Refuse lyrics - The cars

everything's heaven sent
that's what you said and went
inside your fairy glass
is something you think will last
and when they crop you like a clown
you got your smile on upside down

baby i refuse
you can pick or choose
find somebody else to use
cause i refuse to come along

everything's on a whim
that's what you said to him
lying in wunderlust
are feeling you never trust
and when they pamper you with ice
i can't believe you don't think twice

everyone makes the play
with nothing much left to say
all in and endless line
waiting for equal time
they keep screaming it's the truth
and you keep kneeling in the booth

Heartbeat City lyrics - The Cars

oh heartbeat city
here we come
well happy days
we count on thumbs
and nothing really
gets us down
as long as jacki's
back in town

i'm glad you made it
i can't complain
i missed you badly
when you jumped that train

oh jacki
what took you so long
on just a holiday
oh jacki
what took you so long
i thought you knew the way
i thought you blew away

oh heartbeat city
never stops
and all you need
is what you got
and there's a place
for everyone
under heartbeat city's
golden sun

oh heartbeat city
lights at night
keeps getting closer
out of sight
oh heartbeat city's
on the loose
better catch
the blue caboose

Since You're Gone lyrics - The Cars

since you're gone the nights are getting strange
since you're gone nothing's making sense
since you're gone i stumble in the shade
since you're gone everything's in perfect tense
i can't help it when you fall apart
i can't help it i guess you better start
that is forgetting about you
since you're gone the nights are getting strange
since you're gone i'm throwing it all away
i can't help it everything's a mess
i can't help it you're so treacherous
when it comes to tenderness
since you're gone
since you're gone i miss the peak sensation
since you're gone i took the big vacation
since you're gone i never feel sedate
since you're gone the moonlight ain't so great

Shake It Up lyrics - The Cars

dance all night play all day
don't let nothing get in the way
dance all night keep the beat
don't you worry 'bout two left feet
just shake it up
dance all night get real loose
you don't need no bad excuse
dance all night with anyone
don't let nobody pick your fun
just shake it up
dance all night go go go
dance all night get real low
go all night get real hot
shake it up with all you've got
dance all night whirl your hair
make the night cats stop and stare
dance all night go to work
do the move with quirky jerk
just shake it up

I'm Not The One lyrics - The Cars

i'm not the one
that you'll be shooting for
i'm not the one
who's coming back for more
you know why
we've been through this so many times
you know why
it's never clear it's pantomime
going round and round
'cause you can't get on your feet
going round and round
still taking all the heat
going round and round
never touching down
i'm not the one
whose memory you still keep
i'm not the one
who's talking in your sleep
you know why
i don't have to tell you twice
you know why
i knew when you weren't so nice
i'm not the one
that you'll be breaking in
i'm not the one
who could be taken in
you know why
i tried and tried to crack the shell
you know why
when you fake it's hard to tell

Victim Of Love lyrics - The Cars

she can take you
anywhere she wants to
she can show you things
that make you weak
she can make you think
that you're the only one
she can steal your heart
with just one wink
she'll hold you tight she won't let go
she'll make it last put on a show
she'll tell you things
that you should not know
'cause you're the victim
the victim of love
framed by the night
touched by the glove
you're the victim
the victim of love
she can freeze you
when she doesn't want to talk
she can work it on in
she can go take a walk
she can have it or leave it
she can do the skidoo
you better believe it
she's having fun on you
when she's calling you out
you better run to her
when she's just falling out
you better care
when she needs somebody
you better run to her
when she gives in too soon
it's just not fair

Cruiser lyrics - The cars

big city noise disappears
sucker punch is in your heart
light is reason light is due
my shape is shapeless in your suit
chrome red eyeballs reflect and roll
simple sun is slowly sinking
roman shoes and pretty hats
glitter bombs that beat the beat
you comb the night 'cause you're a cruiser
and you never get enough
when you're cruising down the street
and you're chasing off the heat
when you're on the moonlight run
floating jets and big vignettes
get the treatment grab a cab
set aside the screaming fish
tell the world why you're so glad
flip the switches pull the plug
you always wait for better news
you need a hit you need a slug
you don't easily get amused

A Dream Away lyrics - The Cars

five in the morning all alone in your room
door locked tight private moon
no faces to face no one to blame
nonexistent inside this frame
take it on the run
there's a cheetah walking high
liquid whispers dragonfly
charleston booties painted toes
drop the knot ivory soul
take it on the run
the good life is just a dream away
choke emotion lose control
chicken counters fill your bowls
the lonely crowd is decomposed
lost obsession future froze

This Could Be Love lyrics - The Cars

oh yea i got time
oh yea i guess i'm doing fine
till i met you in the dark
i was chasing little sparks
you were slinked and dressed in pink
here with someone you wouldn't think
is this the kill is this the thrill
i'll wait until you say
this could be love
oh yea i got hope
oh yea it comes and goes
till i met you things were easy
till i met you things were sleazy
doesn't matter once i told
you were someone i could hold
oh yea i need you
oh yea more than you want me to
till i met you in the dark
i was chasing little sparks
when you think you're going to sink
comes someone you wouldn't think

Think It Over lyrics - The Cars

everytime i see you i got to jump and shout
i haven't got a clue to what it's all about
i never had a dream that looked so much like you
i'd do anything that you want me to
think it over think it over
there's nothing you could do to make me want to stop
think it over think it over
everytime you run around it makes me want to pop
what's it going to take to make you change your line
what's it's going to take to get your valentine
how can i be sure that you're the one for me
i only know that you wanted to be free

Maybe Baby lyrics - The Cars



i heard stories about you
i'd like to think that they were true
i did not know you'd be like that
with those surprises under hat
be my maybe baby
when you dance between the stars
in the night late sweet and dark
turn them over one by one
you don't need to jump the gun
when the night is feeling flush
when the night is all a hush
electric look electic blue
keep one dream that won't come true

album: "Panorama" (1980)

Panorama lyrics - The Cars

i'm going to get what's coming to me
no surprises, no impressions
hey, what's wrong with you tonight
just sitting on your can can
doing the panoram
with nothing to comtemplate
with nothing to search for
with nothing to integrate
with nothing to do
except think about you
with nothing to do
except fall for blue
i just want to be in your panorama
i just want to be in your panorama
i'm going to take what's coming to me
no entanglements and no compromise
get the picture, i'm on my knees
looking at your hot shot
turning down your offer
well i'm ripping it up
i'm looking away
i'm pulling my flag up
i'm miles away
with nothing to do
except think about you
i just want to be in your panorama
i just want to be in your panorama
i'm going to find my way out of here
no pushing the buttons
no deals with daddy-o
i'm going to get myself in trouble
and i'll take my chances
if i break your bubble

Touch And Go lyrics - The Cars

all i need is what you've got
all i'll tell is what you're not
all you know is what you hear
i get this way when yo come near

[Chorus:]
then I know it's gone too far
oh, oh, I touched your star
and it felt so right
like the hush of midnight
until you said
with me it's touch and go

all i need is you tonight
i'm flying like a cement kite
in your headlock on the floor
who could ever ask for more

[Chorus]

all I want is you tonight
i guess that dress does fit you tight
and how that look does make me shake
it almost looks too good to take

[Chorus]

Gimme Some Slack lyrics - The Cars

i want to shake like Liguardia
magic mouth in the sun
train ride to the courtyard
before you can run
down at the end of lonely street
where no one takes a walk
someone's lying at your feet
and someone's getting off

[Chorus:]
just gimme some slack

the seven floors of walkup
the odor musted cracks
the peeping keyhole introverts
with the monkeys on their backs

[Chorus]

the rooftops strung with frauleins
the pastel pinned up sails
the eighteen color roses
against your face so pale

[Chorus]

i want to float like Euripides
all visions intact
i'm alright with Fellini fiends
tripping over the track

(chorus)

down at the end of Lonely Street
where no one takes a chance
someone's in the cheap light
and someone wants to dance

(chorus)

Don't Tell Me No lyrics - The Cars

it's my party, you can come
it's my party, have some fun
it's my dream, have a laugh
it's my life, have a half

[Chorus:]
don't tell me no
it's my transition, it's my play
it's my phone call to betray
it's my hopscotch, light the torch
it's my downtime, feel the scorch

[Chorus]

it's my ambition, it's my joke
it's my teardrop, emotional smoke
it's my mercy, it's my plan
i want to go to futureland

Getting Through lyrics - The Cars

i don't want to be your party doll
all flaked out in Tinsel Town
circus mouth shooting all directions
with TV ads that sell erections

[Chorus:]
i got no clue what they want to do with you
it's just getting through, getting through to you

living outside the misdemeanor
some get lost and some are screamers
it's easy to tell the great pretender
broken wings and flip top fenders

[Chorus]

i don't want to be your suffering box
argue art or untie your knots
i don't want to be your bad connection
or fit into your reality vision

[Chorus]

Misfit Kid lyrics - The Cars

i dream frequently
sometimes they come out funny
i go through insanity
all they want is money
all these parties get so habitual
the same sea of faces
always pushing, always pulling
always in the races

i get cooled out
i get the come ons
i get rumbled
i get crumbled

[Chorus:]
i'm the American misfit kid
still wondering what I did

i'm on the inside taking a fast ride
i'm stiletto so
so sharp and I'm willing to cut
sometimes nebulous
I'm ready to strut
lost and frantic
new age romantic
checking out the race
never cared about what it meant
always loved disgrace

i get rhythm
i get Cornflakes
i get fast love
i get wasted

[Chorus]

i dream frequently
sometimes they come out funny
i live with absurdity
always warm and runny
all these parties get so ritual
lonely hearts and aces
always pushing, always pulling
always in the races

[Chorus]

Down Boys lyrics The Cars

you were trying to be cute
and it didn't work out
you were trying to be charming
and it didn't come off
you were trying to be clever
a big waste of time
you were trying to get rough
but you're waiting in line

[Chorus:]
you can't make it with the down boys
they don't hear a word you say
you can't make it with the down boys
just stay out of their way

you were trying to be sharp
but they couldn't wait
you were trying to be eternal
but that didn't rate
you were trying to be smooth
you're rough on the edges
you were trying to be hysterical
well i still ain't laughing

[Chorus]

you were trying to be in
but they left you out
you were trying to be in
two different worlds
you were trying to be in
oscillation in shame
you were trying to be in
but you're lost in the game

[Chorus]

You Wear Those Eyes lyrics - The Cars

you wear those eyes that never blink
you always were the missing link
you paint your mouth, you let me know
you really are the only show

just take your time
'cause it's not too late
i'll be your mirror
so you won't hesitate
i'm easy to be found
whenever you come down

you got that walk, you do the stroll
you make me lose my ground control
you got that look I can't resist
like something missing, never kissed
you do the pogo without the bounce
you got the name I can't pronounce
you fall in love like the sting
you make believe it's everything

Running To You lyrics - The Cars

i'm coming around
y want you to come
i'm coming around
just for the fun

i'm having a real time
taking what's not mine
and I'm doing what I want to do

[Chorus:]
that's running to you

you're looking for someone
maniacal shots
you're looking for someone
over the top

i'm having a real time
reading your headline
and I'm doing what I want to do

[Chorus]

you're hoping for someone
fits in the plan
you're hoping for someone
two in the hand

i'm having a real time
taking what's not mine
and I'm doing what I like to do

[Chorus]

Up And Down lyrics - The Cars

do you have to be so hard to get
especially with those emerald eyes
you might have been a neon lover
but you didn't have to advertise

well come on, well come on
you might have been a crackshot shooter
hung up on your figurine
under the cold and darkly sky
you're the only light I've seen

[Chorus:]
well come on, well come on
and it happens everytime
i'm still hanging on the line
don't want to go up and down

you don't have to be so touch
i'll tell you when I've had enough
you don't have to reek with charm
you won't have to twist my arm
well come on, well come on

[Chorus]

album: "Candy-O" (1979)

Let's Go lyrics - The Cars

she's driving away
with the dim lights on
and she's making a play
she can't go wrong
she never waits too long
she's winding them down
on her clock machine
and she won't give up
'cause she's seventeen
she's a frozen fire
she's my one desire
and i don't want to hold her down
don't want to break her crown
when she says, let's go
i like the nightlife baby
she says, let's go
she's laughing inside
'cause they can't refuse
she's so beautiful now
she doesn't wear her shoes
she doesn't like to choose
she's got wonderful eyes
and a risque mouth
and when i ask her before
she said she's holding out
she's a frozen fire
she's my one desire

Since I Held You lyrics - The Cars

i really love the way you talk
i don't mind saying so
oo i love it when you dance
so silky slow, baby please don't go
i know you refuse to get involved
you won't help me out none
you run around like a paperdoll
pretending it's fun, baby please don't run
something in the night just don't sit right
looks like i'm going to be up all night
it's been such a long time
since i held you
i won't forget the way you said
it doesn't bother you much
tutor impressions in your head
just before the last touch
that meant so much

It's All I Can Do Lyrics - The Cars

one too many times
i fell over you
once in a shadow
i finally grew
and once in a night
i dreamed you were there
i cancelled my flight
from going nowhere
it's all i can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all i can do
one too many times
i twisted the gate
when i was crazy
i thought you were great
i kept my renditions
of you on the wall
where holiday romance
is nothing at all
you wait in the wing
like a saturday flirt
protecting the judge
you don't want to get hurt
once in a moment
it all comes to you
as soon as you get it
you want something new

Double Life Lyrics - The Cars

it takes a fast car lady
to lead a double life
it takes a slow star lady
if you want to do it twice
you take your backseat rumble
take your frontseat wife
it takes a fast car lady
to lead a double life
it takes a light foot lady
to lead a double life
it takes a good book maybe
if you want to do it nice
when you idle at the stop light
you better get the signal right
light foot lady, you lead a double life
lift me from the wondermaze
alienation is the craze
and it's all gonna happen to you
and you think it's a phase
and it's all gonna happen to you
when you drive in a haze
it takes a freeway lady
to lead a double life
it takes some leeway lady
if you want to do it twice
neon blinking on the street
everyone is bittersweet
freeway lady, you lead a double life

Shoo Be Doo Lyrics - The Cars

it's funny honey but you don't care
you never want to take me anywhere
you ride around in your cadium car
you keep wishing upon a star
why is it you don't care
don't you go making eyes on me
don't remind me
don't you tell me what to do
shoo be doo

Candy-O lyric - The Cars

candy o i need you
sunday dress ruby rings
candy o i need you so
could you help me in
purple hum, assorted cards
razor lights, you bring
and all to prove you're on the move
and vanishing
candy o i need you so
candy o i need you so
the edge of night distract yourself
obstacles don't work
homogenize, decentralize
it's just a quirk
different ways to see you through
all the same in the end
peculiar star that's who you are
do you have to win

Night Spots lyrics - The Cars

could be you're crossing the fine line
a silly driver kinda, off the wall
you keep it cool when it's t-t-tight
eyes wide open when you start to fall
you go dancing in the dim lit club
some pressure cooker
crawls up on his knees
flashing sensation like a one on one
stomping around in the jitterbug breeze
oo how you shake me up and down
when we hit the nightspots on the town
it's all behind you when you do catch on
you keep your lovers in a penny jar
a real romantic with a sultry stare
you keep messing with your blonde long hair
it's just an automatic line

You Can't Hold On Too Long lyrics - The Cars

i can't put out your fire
i know it's too late
i can't be up for hire
it's not my best trait
the gallow glass is cracking
it's starting to smash
how can you cry
without blinking a lash
you're feeling cross and wavy
on the edge of the cuff
you're pushing and popping
you can't get enough
you wish that it was over
you never slow down
you're looking for kicks
there's nothing around
you can't hold on too long
it's alright
you can't hold on too
long it's alright
you're surrounded by the laughing boys
they puncture your style
they send for their bandanas
you try for their smile
you'd like to come in colors
you don't know which one
you can't be too choosy
it's just for fun

Lust For Kicks lyrics - The Cars

he's got his plastic sneakers
she's got her robuck purse
he's got his butane flicker
she's got it worse
they're crazy about each other
like a misplaced fix
they're mad about each other
they blame it all on the lust for kicks
he's got his own dumb waiter
she's reading one fell swoop
he gets around to it later
she fills the scoop
he's just a hit parader
she's just a cycle ride
he likes to masquerade her
and she tells him lies

Got A Lot On My Head lyrics - The Cars



i got a lot on my head
most of it is you
i got a lot on my head
can't forget about you
lock me away
where the silly boys go
i'm on top of my nerves
don't you know
take me apart
'cause i'm out of control
send me a letter
on a midnight scroll
dance by the window
in flamingo pink
go through the motions
in your romeo mink
condition's red disposition's blue
why am i so attracted to you
trip down the alleyway
take the back stairs
i know it's good
but good isn't fair
that's what you said
flashbulb in your eye
how can i hold you
when you're waving good bye

The Dangerous Type lyrics - The Cars

can i touch you are you out of touch
i guess i never noticed that much
geranium lover i'm live on your wire
come and take me who ever you are
she's a lot like you
the dangerous type
she's a lot like you
come on and hold me tight
inside angel always upset
keep on forgetting that we ever met
can i bring you out in the light
my curiosity's got me tonight
the museum director's with their high shaking heads
they kick white shadows until they play dead
they want to crack your crossword smile
can i take you out for a while

"The Cars" (1978)

Good Times Roll lyrics - The Cars

let the good times roll
let them knock you around
let the good times roll
let them make you a clown

let them leave you up in the air
let them brush your rock and roll hair
let the good times roll
let the good times roll
let the good times roll

let the stories be told
they can say what they want
let the photos be old
let them show what they want

let them leave you up in the air
let them brush your rock and roll hair
let the good times roll
let the good times roll-oll
lets let the good times roll

good times roll

if the illusion is real
let them give you a ride
if they got thunder appeal
let them be on your side

let them leave you up in the air
let them brush your rock and roll hair
lets let the good times roll-oll
let the good times roll
let the good times roll
lets let the good times roll
we'll let the good times roll

oh-hoh-oh

My Best Friend's Girl lyrics - The Cars

you're always dancing down the street
with your suede blue eyes
and every new boy that you meet
he doesn't know the real surprise

here she comes again
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
she'll make you flip
here she comes again
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
you kinda like the way she dips
she's my best friend's girl
she's my best friend's girl
and she used to be mine

you've got your nuclear boots
and your drip dry glove
and when you bite your lip
it's some reaction to love

Just What I Needed lyrics - The Cars

i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
'cause when you're standing oh so near
i kinda lose my mind
it's not the perfume that you wear
it's not the ribbons in your hair
i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
i don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
it doesn't matter where you've been
as long as it was deep
you always knew to wear it well
you look so fancy i can tell
i don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
i guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to feed
i guess guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to bleed

I'm In Touch With Your World lyrics - The Cars

you can tuck it on the inside
you can throw it on the floor
you can wave it on the outside
like you never did before
you get the diplomatic treatment
you get the force fed future
you get the funk after death
you get the wisenheimer brainstorm

i'm in touch with your world
so don't you try to hide it
i'm in touch with your world
and nobody's going to buy it
it's such a lovely way to go

i've been lying on your feathers
you keep talking about the weather
i'm a psilocybin pony
you're a flick fandango phoney
it's a sticky contradiction
it's a thing you call creation
everything is science fiction
and i ought to know

Don't Cha Stop lyrics - The Cars

right here i'd like to melt inside of you
right here your kiss is totally new
right here your hands are soft and creamy
right here your mouth is wet and dreamy
and it's just what i like
so dim down the light
don't cha stop don't cha stop
don't cha stop don't cha stop
if it makes you feel good
your rhapsody is blowing my cool
your fantasies were written for fools
your long black hair it tickles my skin
feels so luscious come on do it again

You're All I've Got Tonight lyrics - The Cars

i don't care if you hurt me some more
i don't care if you even the score
you can knock me and i don't care
you can mock me and i don't care
you can rock me just about anywhere
it's alright 'cus you're all i've got tonight
you're all i've got tonight
you're all i've got tonight
i need you tonight
i don't care if you use me again
i don't care if you abuse me again
you can make me i don't care
you can bump me i don't care
you can love me just about anywhere
it's alright

Bye Bye Love lyrics - The Cars

i can't feel this way much longer
expecting to survive
with all these hidden innuendoes
just waiting to arrive
it's such a wavy midnight
when you slip into insane
electric angel rock and roller
i hear what you're playing
it's an orange sky
always it's some other guy
it's just a broken lullaby
bye bye love
bye bye love
bye bye love
bye bye love
substitution mass confusion
clouds inside my head
were fogging all my energies
until you visited
eyes of porcelain and blue
could shock me into sense
you think you're so illustrious
you call yourself intense

Moving In Stereo lyrics - The Cars

life's the same i'm moving in stereo
life's the same except for my shoes
life's the same you're shaking like tremolo
life's the same it's all inside you

it's so easy to blow up your problems
it's so easy to play up your breakdown
it's so easy to fly through a window
it's so easy to fool with the sound

it's so tough to get up
it's so tough
it's so tough to live up
it's so tough on you

All Mixed Up lyrics - The Cars

she shadows me in the mirror
and never leaves on the light
some things that i say to her
they just don't seem to bite
it's all mixed up [x3]

she tricks me into thinking
i can't believe my eyes
i wait for her forever
she never does arrive
it's all mixed up [x3]

she says to leave it to me
and everything will be alright
she says to leve it to me
and everything will be alright

she's always out making pictures
she's always out making scenes
she's always out the window
when it comes to making dreams
