Lyrics

LOCAL GIRLS DANCE

It was the middle of summer
We were young and restless and bored
Air hung hot and heavy with lust
In anticipation of something good to come
We waited for the setting sun
Watching the local girls - Watching the local girls dance -

We were busy getting ready
Teenagers lost in our own worlds
Like a Friday night jubilee
When we get together, want to see Ann Marie
I saw her last night in a dream
(While I was) Watching the local girls - Watching the local girls dance -
Watching the local girls - Watching the local girls dance -

Tonight I want to break the code
I want to know what she’s about
Reveal the secrets in my heart
I want to let it all hang out
Want to make the right connection
Plug into the soul of the night
Over the music of the band
Underneath these carnival lights
Watching the local girls - Watching the local girls dance -
Watching the local girls - Watching the local girls dance -

Yeah, that was a long time ago..
But I remember it like it was yesterday!
Watching the local girls - Watching the local girls dance -
‘Cause it’s Friday, don’t have much to do
But head to the bar and have fun like we use to!
Watching the local girls - Watching the local girls dance -

SEIZE THE MOMENT 

Give me something I can keep - I can hold on to  
Tell me some place we can meet - To get together 
Have faith in love and take the leap - Believe it’s true 
Time is short and life is sweet - Girl I need an answer  
You can’t depend on tomorrow  
What will save you is today  
Seize the moment! 

From this life we’ve all been burnt - Our bridges burning  
Try to bounce back and return - Keep shadow boxing 
From this life we’ve all been hurt - But world keeps turning 
And the lessons that we’ve learned - Girl I’m only asking   
Can we depend on tomorrow  
Will it save us from today 
Seize the moment! 

[SOLO]: Guitar 
Bridge: Words I wanted to say  
           On the tip of my tongue 
          What the hell got in the way? 

I was knocked out at first sight - When I first saw her  
She must‘ve known why my eyes shown - Words unspoken 
I was hoping that she might - As she came over 
When she smiled, I said, “Hello” - Then seized the moment 
Can we depend on tomorrow  
Will it save us from today    
You can’t depend on tomorrow  
What will save you is today    
Seize the moment!

PRIVATE MESSAGE 

I was introduced to you by a link incidentally  
When I caught your solo performance, had to turn on the AC 
Been working up the courage to reach you personally  
Hey, here’s a little something in case you might get lonely 
Private Message - Private Message - Private Message - 
Trying to get a private message to you 

Took a peek behind the curtain to get a clear POV 
Had a look to satisfy my voyeuristic tendency  
My pupils dilated when I saw you in HD 
Girl, I’m trying to send you something meant for your eyes only 
Private Message - Private Message - Private Message - 
Trying to send a private message to you 
  
Didn’t want the world to know all the freaky things we do 
Just wanted a chance to show how I feel about you 
So here’s a little something in case you might get lonely 
Girl, I want to send you something meant for your eyes only  
Private Message - Private Message - Private Message - 
Trying to get a private message to you 

[BRIDGE]:  I think I love you though we’ve never met 
                  Beautiful heart shape I’ll never forget  

Private Message - Private Message - Private Message - 
Trying to send a private message to you 
A Private Message - Private Message - Private Message - 
Trying to get a private message to you

EYES WIDE OPEN 

They said - You better do what you’ve been told 
They said - Don’t you stray from the Status Quo 
They said - Follow us don’t put up a fight 
They said - Trust in us cause we’ll fix it right  

When I found out the truth 
It was not what I was hoping 
Now I’ll stare ahead with my eyes wide open 

They said - That you’ll never amount to much 
They said -  Boy, you can look but you can’t touch 
They said - You better not get out of line 
They said - Trust in us it will turn out fine 

When I found out the truth 
It was not what I was hoping 
Now I’ll stare ahead with my eyes wide open 

[Solo]: Guitar 
[Breakdown/Turn Around]: Key Change 

They said - You better do what you’ve been told 
They said - Don’t you stray from the Status Quo 
They said - Follow us don’t put up a fight 
They said -Trust in us cause we’ll fix it right  

When I found out the truth 
It was not what I was hoping 
Now I’ll stare ahead with my eyes wide open

ALL DRESSED UP WITH NOWHERE TO GO 

Smell the ocean taste the salt of the sea  
As I go strolling down Avenue B 
All dressed up with nowhere to go 
I’m all dressed up with nowhere to go 

I am the rake stewing in his mistake 
My love’s turned to hate so give me a break 
All dressed up with nowhere to go 
Yes, all dressed up with nowhere to go 

[BRIDGE]: 
You know I thought I was her only one 
But I found out I was the lonely one 

An Icarus flies too close to the sun 
Wearing a rented tux with cummerbund 
He’s all dressed up with nowhere to go 
All dressed up with nowhere to go 
[SOLO]: 

[BRIDGE]: 
You know I thought I was her only one 
But I found out I was the lonely one 

Drove to the Perch for a night of champagne 
But they were closed and it started to rain 
So I was all dressed up with nowhere to go 
All dressed up with nowhere to go 
All dressed up with nowhere to go 
All dressed up with nowhere to go

TELL TALE LINDA 

Linda  you've got an appointment to keep 
By the time you return I'll be asleep 
Like a pussycat silently you'll creep 
In between the sheets slip without a peep 
There's a message on your answering machine 
Only a guess, could that be where you've been? 
Tell tale Linda - Linda tell me  

Linda in the morning when we awake 
The same old story with a different take 
From all the schemes that you cook up and bake 
I see no future with a wedding cake 
We've seen this movie and checked out this scene 
When you say, "I love you." What do you mean? 
Tell tale Linda - Linda tell me  
  
Baby, were we star crossed lovers? 
Simply, not meant for each other 
Darling, only to discover  
After it was all all over 

Linda, your work called and you've got a date 
It's in the valley "Please arrive by 8" 
And if you think that it won't be too late 
With your faithful dog I'll stay up and wait 
Girl you're sexy but you're no beauty queen 
And not the brightest star the sky has seen 
Tell tale Linda - Linda tell me

CALL OF NIGHT 

Tonight I want to make the great escape 
Step outside the box. Find myself again. 
Tonight I want to overcome the world 
Step inside of love. Find myself a girl. 
Through the day - Waiting for a spark 
Call of night- Waiting for the dark 

Tonight I want to ride the gravy train 
Dance in the moonlight and sing in the rain 
Tonight I want to see the city lights 
Be rock and rollin’ and take in the sights 
Through the day - Waiting for a spark 
Call of night - Waiting for the dark 

Tonight I’m getting high as a kite  
Party with my friends. Gonna feel alright 
Tonight I want to be your only one 
Be waiting for you when the day is done 

[BRIDGE]:  
Don’t give up on our love - When burdens get too much - You’re what I’m thinking of 
Pull me through with your love - That’s unconditional - Never can get enough 

Tonight I want to walk on the wild side 
Face my shadow self and not run and hide 
Tonight I want to explore the limits 
Of this life I know and all that’s in it 
Through the day - Waiting for a spark 
Call of night - Waiting for the dark 

Tonight - Tonight - Tonight - Tonight - With you!

A GIRL LIKE THAT 

I tried to keep my cool 
But, it was just an act 
I tried to concentrate on nothing but those thoughts kept coming back 
She got me so strung out 
I could not let it go 
How do you catch a girl like that  
Please tell me cause I’ve got to know 
Tell me, Tell me -  
Method to the madness -  
Way out of this darkness - 

Does it sound familiar 
Never happened before 
The way she turned my world around feels like she’s what I’m living for 
Now what is wrong with me 
Why can’t I say hello 
How do you meet a girl like that? Please tell me cause I’ve got to know! 
Tell me, Tell me -  
Method to the madness -  
Way out of this darkness - 

[SOLO]: Guitar 

Staring like a tourist 
She was a work of art 
I don’t even know her yet she took a piece out of my heart 
I’ll say it once again 
I could not let it go 
How do you get a girl like that? Please tell me cause I’ve got to know! 
Tell me, Tell me -  
How do you catch a girl like that?

"SHE'S A REBEL" 

She's a rebel - She's quite unique 
She's a rebel - Got a wild streak 
She's a rebel - With her own sense of chic 

Something about her I can't put my finger on 
When I'm with her, it's as if I was 21 
Told me she was looking for perpetual fun 
So I told her I'd meet her when her work was done 
She's a rebel - The way she flaunts 
She's a rebel - Knows all the haunts 
She's a rebel - Who knows just what she wants 

Under the weather, lately I'm cloudy and grey 
When suddenly she blew my stormy daze away 
Thought yesterday love was an easy game to play 
Now I'm still finding out it's happening today 
She's a rebel - I'm finding out 
She's a rebel - Without a doubt  
She's a rebel - That's what she's all about 

[Bridge]:  
Making plans with her - Unreliable 
I can't second guess - Unpredictable  
Having sex with her - It's incredible 
Irrisistable - 'Cause she's a rebel 

She's always open to trying something that's new 
Her perspective re-arranges my point-of-view 
On her ankle she got a butterfly tattoo 
I don't like it but no one tells her what to do 
She's a rebel - She's quite unique 
She's a rebel - With a wild streak 
She's a rebel - Got her own sense of chic 
Yeah, she's a rebel - She's a rebel

THE 7 YEAR ITCH 

Year #1 was heaven. The 2nd year was pretty great. 
3rd year the honeymoon ended. Why? A matter of debate.. 
Little things they began to change - We ran away from happiness 
Human behavior is so strange - Happens to us I guess 
The 7 year itch, itch, itch - It’s a bitch 
The 7 year itch, itch, itch- That’s the hitch 
Doesn’t matter poor or rich - Got to itch, itch, itch  
The 7 year itch 

The 4th year was just okay coexisting in the neighborhood 
Year 5 we were still alive. More bad days then there were good 
Maybe it was the dull routine - ‘Whatevers’ and the daily grind 
Fell asleep in a time machine - Woke up one day to find 
The 7 year itch, itch, itch - It’s a bitch 
The 7 year itch, itch, itch - That’s the hitch 
Doesn’t matter poor or rich - Got to itch, itch, itch 

[BRIDGE]: What about all that we’ve started - Does it matter at all?  
          What about all that we’ve built up - Does it matter at all? 
          Doesn’t matter at all! Doesn’t matter at all!  

Year #6 we are holding on now to whatever we’ve got 
Can’t remember all the resentments but there sure were a lot 
Drunken nights, hangover days - Sour stomachs and the stress 
Getting in each others ways - Top it off, lack of sex 
The 7 year itch, itch, itch - It’s a bitch 
The 7 year itch, itch, itch - That’s the hitch 
Doesn’t matter poor or rich - Got to itch, itch, itch
