letra de Love For Sale
I was born in a house with the television always on

Guess I grew up too fast

And I forgot my name

We're in cities at night and we got time on our hands.

So leave the driving to us.

And it's the real thing.

And you're rolling

In the blender

With me.

And I can love you

Like a color

TV.

Now love is here

C'mon and try it

I got love for sale

Got love for sale

And now love is here

C'mon and try it

Got love for sale,

Got love for sale.

You can put your lipstick all over my designer jeans.

I'll be a video for you.

If you turn my dial.

You can cash my check if you go down to the bank

You get two for one

For a limited time.

Push my button...

The toast pops up

Love and money

Gettin' all

Mixed upu

And now love is here

C'mon and try it.

I got love for sale

Got love for sale

Love is here

C'mon and try it

I got love for sale

I got Love

Love

Love

Love

Love

Love

Love

Love

Every night sun goes down

And the people are staying at home

You can tell your momma & daddy

(And she said!)

letra de Papa Legba
You'll be, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, magnet for money

You'll be, mm-mm-mm-mm, magnet for love

You'll feel, hmm, light in your body

Now I'm gonna say, gonna say these words:

Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo

Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo

It might hmm-mmm-mm-mm...It might rain money

It might hm-hi-hi-hi...It might rain fire

Now I'm gonna call,

Gonna call on Legba.

Get yourself a sign

Get your love and desire.

Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo

Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempou

Papa Legba,

Come and open the gate.

Papa Legba,

To the city of camps.

Now, we're your children

Come and ride your horse

In the night

In the night

Come and ride your horse

There is a queen

Of six sevens and nines

Dust in your garden

Poison in your mind

There is a king

That will steal your soul

Din't let him catch you,

Don't let him get control.

Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo

Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo

Papa Legba,

Come and open the gate

Papa Legba,

To the city of camps

Now, we're your children

Come and ride your horse

In the night

In the night, come and ride your horse

In the night

In the night, come and ride your horse

In the night

In the night, come and ride your horse

letra de Wild Wild Life
I'm wearin'

Fur pyjamas

I ride a

Hot Potata'

It's tickling my fancy

Speak up, I can't hear you

Here on this mountaintop

Woahoho

I got some wild, wild life

I got some new to tell ya

Woahoho

About some wild, wild life

Here comes the doctor in charge

Woahoho

She's got some wild, wild life

Ain't that the way you like it?

Ho, ha!

Living wild, wild life.

I wrestle, with your conscience

You wrestle, with your partner

Sittin' on a window sill, but he

Spends time behind closed doors

Check out Mr. Businessman

Oh, ho ho

He bought some wild, wild life

On the way to the stock exchange

Oh, ho ho

He got some wild, wild life

Break it up when he opens the door

Whoahoho

He's doin' wild, wild life

I know that's the way you like it

Wo ho

Living wild, wild life

Peace of mind?

Piece of cake!

Thought control!

You get on board anytime you like

Like sittin' on pins and needles

Things fall apart, it's scientific

Sleeping on the interstate

Woah ho ah

Getting wild, wild life

Checkin' in, a checkin' out!

Uh, huh!

I got a wild, wild life

Spending all of my money and time

Oh, ho ho

Done too much wild, wild

We wanna go, where we go, where we go

Oh, ho ho!

I doing wild, wild

I know it, that's how we start

Uh, huh

Got some wild, wild life

Take a picture, here in the daylight

Oh, ho!

And it's a wild, wild life

You've grown so tall, you've grown so fast

Oh, ho ho

Wild, wild

I know that's the way you like it

Oh, ho!

Living wild wild wild wild, life.

letra de Radio Head
Baby your mind is a radio

Got a reciever inside my head

Baby I'm tuned to your wavelength

Lemme tell you what it says:

Transmitter!

Oh! Picking up something good

Hey, radio head!

The sound...of a brand-new world.

So look at my fingers vibrate

From their tip down down to my toes

Now I'm recieving your signal

We're gonna leave the land of noise

Transmitter!

Oh! Picking up something good

Hey, radio head!

The sound...of a brand-new world.

Transmitter!

Oh! Picking up something good

Hey, radio head!

The sound...Of a brand-new world.

Now you and I have no secrets

Now baby, lemme read your mind

I hear ev'rything you're thinking

You can't help the way you sound

Transmitter!

Picking up something good.

Hey! Radio head!

The sound...Of a brand-new world

Oh! Radio Head

letra de Dream Operator
When you were little

You dreamed you were big

You must have been something

A real tiny kid

You wish you were me

I wish I was you

Now don't you wake up

The dream will come true

Every dream has a name

And names tell your story

This song is your dream

You're the dream operator

It's bigger than life

You know it's all me

My face is a book

But it's not what it seems

Three angels above

The whole human race

They dream us to life

They dream me a face

And every dream tells it all

And this dream is your story

You dreamed me a heart

You're the dream operator

Shake-it-up dream

Hi-di-ho dream

Fix-it-up dream

Look at me dream

I've been waiting so long

Now I am your dream

Hard to forget

Hard to go on

When you fall asleep

You're out on your own

Let go of your life

Grab on to my hand

Here in the clouds

Where we'll understand

And you dreamed it all

And this is your story

Do you know who you are?

You're the dream operator

And you dreamed it all

And this is your story

Do you know who you are?

You're the dream operator

letra de People Like Us
In 1950 when I was born

Papa couldn't afford to buy us much

He said be proud of what you are

There's something special 'bout people like us

People like us

(Who will answer the telephone)

People like us

(Growing as big as a house)

People like us

(Gonna make it because)

We don't want freedom

We don't want justice

We just want someone to love.

Someone to love.u

I was called upon in the 3rd grade class

I gave my answer and it caused a fuss

I'm not the same as ev'ryone else

And times were hard for people like us

People like us

(Who will answer the telephone)

People like us

(Growing as big as a house)

People like us

(Gonna make it because)

What good is freedom?

God laughs at people like us

I see it coming

Like coming down from above

The clouds roll by and the moon comes up

How long must we live in the heat of the sun

Millions of people are waitin' on love

And this is a song about people like us

People like us

(Who answe the telephone)

People like us

(Growing big as a house)

People like us

(Gonna make it because)

We don't want freedom

We don't want justice

We just want someone to love.

Someone to love.

Someone to love.

Someone to love.
City Of DreamsVer letra 5:06

letra de City Of Dreams
Here where you are standing

The dinosaurs did a dance

The indians told a story

Now it has come to pass

The Indians had a legend

The Spaniards lived for gold

The white man came and killed them

But they haven't really gone

We live in the city of dreams

We drive on the highway of fire

Should we awake

And find it gone

Remember this, our favorite town

From germany and Europe

And Southern U.S.A.

They made this little town here

That we live in to this day

The children of the white man

Saw Indians on TV

And heard about the legend

How their city was a dream

We live in the city of dreams

We drive on the highway of fire

Should we awake

And find it gone

Remember this, our favorite town

The Civil War is over

And World War One and Two

If we can live together

The dream it might come true

Underneath the concrete

The dream is still alive

A hundred million lifetimes

A world that never dies

We live in the city of dreams

We drive on the highway of fire

Should we awake

And find it gone

Remember this, our favorite town
