Teksty: Asia. Komplette Asia Platte Nummer 1.

Heat of the Moment

I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

{chorus}
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in 82
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings

{chorus}

And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well

{chorus x2}



Only Time Will Tell

You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that I would have know by now

{chorus}
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

{Only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell
{Only time will tell}
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die

{chorus}

{repeat first verse}
{repeat second verse}
{chorus}

{Only time will tell}
You're on your own
Inside your room
{Only time will tell}
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now

{Only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell...



Sole Survivor

When I ran from the hounds of hell
Twist my foot, I nearly fell
I was lucky I was alive
One look back I could have died

{chorus}
I was the sole survivor
Sole survivor
Sole survivor
Solitary fighter

When I saw it I was amazed
One time glory right in my gaze
I saw the sorrow, I saw the joy
Right in the darkness none could destroy

{chorus}

And from the wreckage I will arise
Cast the ashes back in their eyes
See the fire, I will defend
Just keep on burning right to the end

{chorus}



One Step Closer

Loneliness, a constant friend and lover
I know well
Crowded rooms the iron bar
That surround me
Trying hard to catch your eye
Just once, you see
Knowing from this moment if you did
We could be

{chorus}
One step closer
Closer than we are
One step closer
Closer than before

So many lines, you've heard them all
A lie in every one
From men who never understand
Your personality
And though we never even met
No talking needs to be done
The hum of conversation will disolve you
Into me

{chorus x2}
{chorus}



Time Again

Fate looks certain but there's nothing guaranteed
Want for nothing, but is nothing what you need?
Always pushing but you're never satisfied
I did believe you 'til I found out that you lied

{chorus}
Time and time again
Time and time again again

For what I give you I get nothing in return
Can't forgive you watching all your bridges burn
All day long I sat and watched you do it wrong
Have to say that's how you did it all along

{chorus}

But others wouldn't see things you could only see
And someone showed you, then why was it always me
You knew the limit you were always out of bounds
How could I trust you when I caught you messing 'round

{chorus}




Wildest Dreams

They decorated all the generals
Who fought the wars behind the lines
They had forgotten all the soldiers
The brandy put them way behind the times

Insanity has found its way to TV screens
Vision seems impossible to me
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
I never would have thought this in my

{chorus}
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

The evening comes, we sit and watch the VJs
Clips and rushes come from who knows where
From Washington across to California
With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square

We see the soldiers moving on to victory
And children trampled under marching feet
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
How many millions will they put to sleep?

{chorus}
Fly away...

No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams

They recommended euthanasia
For non-conformists anywhere
Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares
This never would have happened in my

{chorus}
Fly away...

No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams...



Without You

Gazing at our sunriseReflected in your clear eyes
Misty morning forest smoke fires

Make our way through the broken day
I couldn't stand to stay
Without you

We must keep moving
While the light is clearing
Leaving your dark world behind you

You have to run
Life is just begun
I'll never be alone
Without you

One chilling thought
Come screaming through the dark
I saw a yellow moon at midnight

And now you woke
Glowing in the smoke
I'm suddenly alone
Without you

Wanting things the way they used to be
You don't know what that can do to me
One more day, maybe never
Might as well be forever

Outside the light,fading as I write
And another night reminds me

As I sleep, memory that I keep
It's just another night
Without you

It seems so long
I've been holding on
Since I felt my arms around you

Time will go, both of us will know
Never be a day
Without you



Cutting It Fine

The door swings open but you won't go it
You hate the movie that you haven't seen
You couldn't see what I have in mind
I see you laughing but you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine

You never should have done those things to me
There's one thread left 'tween you and history
And while our temperature is rising high
I'm warning you that you are
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Cutting it, cutting it fine...

You gambled all on one important game
Now take the debt and don't complain
Your game was up, I saw it all the time
I saw that vice, girl, you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Your sole advisor watch out for yourself
You never listen to anyone else
You were the one who ignored the signs
Dancing on a fine line
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Cutting it, cutting it fine...



Here Comes the Feeling

All through the winter I thought I'd never see you again
Oh God where were you when I needed you
I know that you, no, you would never have betrayed me
I thought I'd die, why? All the reasons still evade me
But you're back

{chorus}
Now I can see you
Now I can feel you
Now that I want you
Now I can touch you
Next to me
Here it comes

Here comes the feeling
Here comes that same old feeling
Here comes the feeling
Here comes that same old feeling

This is for real, I never felt so good before
I see the world through different eyes
Now that you're back, nothing in the least can overcome me
Misery gone, plus all the doubt that overran me
But you're back

{chorus}

{repeat first verse}
