Everybody, listen to me
And return me my ship
I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Though I'm feeling mighty sick


I've been lost now, days uncounted
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
Or am I all alone?

Am I original? Yeah
Am I the only one? Yeah
Am I sexual? Yeah
Am I everything you need?
You better rock your body now

Everybody yeah (yeah)
Rock your body yeah (yeah)
Everybody yeah
Rock your body right
Backstreet's back, alright!
Alright!

When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking of games that I was playing
Trying to make the best of my time

But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?

When you were young and your heart
Was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did)
(You know you did)
(You know you did)

But if this ever changin' world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die

Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it's much better by far
To be young at heart


And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it, you can't mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

Well, I was only a kid, cruising around in a trance
Prisoner of fate, victim of circumstance
I was lined up for glory, but the tickets sold out in advance
The way the big wheel spins

You are welcome here but you must come alone
You know everything is everywhere is home
Do you see it?

 

Prisoner, prisoner
We found you
We feel you breathing
Are you there?
Can you hear us calling you?
We'll never judge you

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay

But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway

Going to the city, got you on my mind,
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind,
This is my decision, I'm coming home to stay this time


'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city

When the daylight is falling down into the night
And the sharks try to cut a big piece out of life
It feels alright to go out to catch an outrageous thrill
But it's more like spinning wheels of fortune
Which never stand still

 

Big city, big city nights
You keep me burning
Big city, big city nights

I left you, oh have mercy
Without a saying or dime
With five little hungry babies
All in one room, cryin'

 

I thought I was so hip (A big man)
A big man out in the world, yeah
I thought there was only two things in life to live for
A new car, and big, fine girl

 

But I've had them both
Ooh Lord, that's no joke
I had plenty of money in my pocket
Lord, when I used to always be broke

But I can't forget words my baby said

She said what goes up
I know one day has got to come down
Then she said what goes around sure comes around, mmm
(What goes around sure comes around)
What goes up (One day sure 'nuff gonna come)
I know, one day has got to come down
Lord, have mercy

I heard you crying loud,
All the way across town
You've been searching for that someone,
And it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

Well, don't get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
You been thinking about ditching me

No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder: 
One of the four beasts saying: "Come and see." 
And I saw. 
And behold, a white horse. 

There's a man goin' 'round takin' names. 
An' he decides who to free and who to blame. 
Everybody won't be treated all the same. 
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down. 
When the man comes around.

Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey yeah

 

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves
Before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things I've said

 

Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

Never seen a night so clear
Half moon hanging like a chandelier
Man, that moon got nothing on me
Let that woman knock me to my knees

Hanging on by a thread
How could I be so misled
Oh she drive me outta my head

Side note and shout to @DD4Bills - nice call on Baked Ziti Nights by the Scorps (good luck not hearing it that way going forward 😀)

I must think of a way
Into your heart
There's no reason why
My being shy
Should keep us apart


And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head


Goin' out of my head over you (Out of my head)
Out of my head over you (Out of my head)
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night
Oh, come on (Wrong or right)

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

 

I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

 

I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

And I've seen her waiting from all her mistakes
And what if he never comes when you call?

 

And, "Hey, hey it's alright," she says
"Once upon a time I lived a perfect night.
Hey, hey in another life," she says
"In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago."
