Not Necessarily Beautiful But Mutated, Volume 8

**Not Necessarily Beautiful But Mutated, Volume 8** is a DEVO tribute album.

In 2008, Donavan Suitt tracked down Marc Jackson on MySpace, encouraged him to reform RHEMA, and contribute a song to the annual DEVO tribute. The result was Soo Bawls, RHEMA's first recording in over 20 years. The song later surfaced on The Rock Aliens bootleg, and more than a decade later, Jackson created a music video for it.

## Lyrics

The tears in her words

Instead of her eyes

Too brittle when heard

They break as they fall

They bead up inside her

She blinks them away

But even hell gives a cry

When an angel is down

She kicks it and beats it

Like she wished that she would have

If she could go back and live it again

And she closes her eyes

Like Dorothy, there's no place like anywhere but here

There's no place like anywhere but here

It's sort of like

Trampling rainbows

Down where all the rain goes

Where nothing but pain grows up healthy and strong

And it's sort of like black soot

In the purest of spring books

Like a hole from what he took

It's right here, right here

The secret is silent

Except for the few

Who she told to remind her

That it was still real

But she bites on her pillow

In her whimpering sleep

As she finds herself back there

Driven again

And you can click your heels, baby

Like Dorothy, there's no place like anywhere but here

There's no place like anywhere but here

It's sort of like

Trampling rainbows

Down where all the rain goes

Where nothing but pain grows up healthy and strong

And it's sort of like black soot

In the purest of spring books

Like a hole from what he took

But it's right here, right here

She kicks him and beats him

Like she wished that she would have

If she could go back there

And live it again

And she closes her eyes

Like Dorothy, there's no place like anywhere but here

There's no place like anywhere but here

Like trampling rainbows

Down where all the rain goes

Where nothing but pain grows up healthy and strong

And it's sort of like black soot

In the purest of spring books

Like a hole from what he took

It's right here, right here

There's no place like

Anywhere but here

There's no place like

Anywhere but here

There's no place like

Anywhere but here

There's no place like

Anywhere but here...

## Lyrics

I could run

Like a hero

In the eyes of everyone

And I make no bones in finding ways

To get things done

Number one

Never zero

In a life too short for fun

But the needle floats between

A father and his son

But the keeping of my photograph

Is a living child's epitaph

It's the freeze-frame of a life

I'd never believe in

Puppet strings won't hold your weight up

They teach you to stand up from your knees

And if Geppetto were my father

He'd agree, yeah

Puppet strings don't last forever

No, they're still tugging at my seams

There's a real live boy inside

Geppetto's dream

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Carved in wood

Like a soldier

Standing up from other boys

And I wonder if I'm better off

With other toys

When I'm good

I am real good

When I'm bad, it's hard to tell

Cuz the strings you never cut

Don't leave you where you fell

Yeah, ah-yeah, oh yeah

And the keeping of my photograph

Is a living child's epitaph

It's the freeze-frame of a life

I'd never believe in

Puppet strings won't hold your weight up

They teach you to stand up from your knees

And if Geppetto were my father

He'd agree, yeah

Puppet strings don't last forever

No, they're still tugging at my seams

There's a real live boy inside

Geppetto's dream

Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I dream one day I'll wake up

Wipe the moondust from my eyes

Just to feel my father hold his wish come true

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Puppet strings won't hold your weight up

Or teach you to stand up from your knees

If Geppetto were my father

He'd agree, yeah

(If Geppetto were my father, he'd agree)

Puppet strings don't last forever

No, they're still tugging at my seams

I'm the real live boy inside

Geppetto's dream

Geppetto's dream, yeah

Geppetto's dream

Geppetto's dream
Jimmy and the Mustangs

In 1984. Marshall Rohner, Troy Mack, Jimmy Haddox, & Jeffrey Cranford.

**Jimmy and the Mustangs** is an American rockabilly band fronted by Jimmy Haddox (sometimes credited as Jimmy Silvers) who portrayed The Pack in the film.

## History

Formed around 1980 and emerging from the punk rock scene in Southern California, the band's first gig was opening for The Go-Go's. They formed their own style of rockabilly and swing and were known for their high-octane performances. They were a staple opening act for big performers in Los Angeles, but quickly became headliners themselves, hobnobbing with musical royalty like Robert Plant and Bruce Springsteen.

In 1982, they signed with Vanity Records, and their album "Hey Little Girl" was the first release by label, which went on to sell more than 40,000 copies. The band's songs received heavy radio airplay on both coasts, and the band secured a guest-starring role on the series finale of the popular teenage sitcom "Square Pegs" with Sara Jessica Parker. Soon after, the band was signed by Curb Records, given a role in the film, and they went back to the studio to cut a self-titled EP. The band resumed playing live shows when the album was released in May 1984. With the EP spawning no major hits and the film's release in limbo, Curb unceremoniously dropped the band in 1985, and members quickly regrouped with other acts.

Frontman Jimmy Haddox left the music business for two decades, became a realtor, and focused on his family. Eventually, he re-emerged in Austin, Texas, with a new incarnation of the band. He's released two more albums and frequently performed at live venues in Austin.

Michael Singh

## Family

Michael is the first-born son and child of Avatar and Adrianna Singh who are married and have three children together; Michael has a younger sister and a younger bother. Dolly is 16 months younger than Michael while Sunny is 4 years and 9 months younger than him. Michael was 16 years and 7 months old when his daughter Nikki was born. Michael is no longer in a relationship with Nikki's biological mother Nada and doesn't have any contact with her, but he is engaged to fiancé Adaya Devi who loves Nikki as her own. Michael has a relationship of trust and respect with his parents. He can be bossy with his younger siblings and over-protective, which causes conflicts with Dolly. Michael also has poor opinions of his sister as he doesn't think she's a nice person. He doesn't seem to have anything against brother, however. Michael focuses on making Adaya happy. He lets her lead and give her what she wants. He feels lucky to have found someone who loves his daughter so much and treats her well.

## Personality

Michael was always very mature and handled everything that came his way like an adult, whether it was raising his daughter, building his romantic relationship with Adaya, or simply running his life. He is very independent and likes to handle things himself. He easily makes decisions, is sure of his choices, and doesn’t regret anything. He sticks to his beliefs and values and stays true to himself.

## Pregnant in high school

Michael was introduced in the pilot episode; he was 15 years old. His girlfriend Nada showed up at his house to confirm he had used a condom during their intimate moment. Michael assures her he did, knowing how much Nada did not want to have a baby.

I guess the worst is yet to come

Cuz it's not over

I know it's all been said and done

It's still not over

I can't sleep cuz the pressure's on

I can't think, the pressure's on

I can't breathe cuz the pressure's on

No time, no time

You gave it everything you had

Your heart and soul, boy

It's much too late for sorrow now

You've dug your hole, boy

I can't sleep cuz the pressure's on

I can't think, the pressure's on

I can't breathe cuz the pressure's on

No time, Mom's back Sunday

Stop the clock, I'm runnin' out of time

Stop the clock, I'm runnin' out of time

Stop the clock

It's All Over Now

**It's All Over Now** is a song by Jimmy and the Mustangs off of the band's self-titled EP. It's a cover of a 1964 song by Bobby and Shirley Womack, which had been a hit for The Valentinos, The Rolling Stones, and others.

## Lyrics

Well, baby used to stay out

All night long

Just made me cry

She's done me wrong

She's hurt my eyes over

That's no lie

Now the tables turned

And now it's her turn to cry

Because I used to love her

But it's all over now

Because I used to love her

But it's all over now

Well, she used to run around

With every man in town

Spend all my money

Playin' her high-class games

She put me out

It was a pity how I cried

The tables turned

And now it's her turn to cry

Because I used to love her

But it's all over now

Because I used to love her

But it's all over now

Yeah

I used to wait for mornings

Get my breakfast in bed

When I got worried

She'd ease my achin' head

Now she's here and there

With every man in town

Still tryin' to take me

For that same old clown

Because I used to love her

But it's all over now

Because I used to love her

But it's all over now
Let's Dance Tonight

**Let's Dance Tonight** is a song performed by Pia Zadora, RHEMA, and Jimmy and the Mustangs.

Pia's version was issued on the soundtrack and on her album of the same name, plus numerous singles and remixes were released. The other bands' recordings were never issued outside of the film.

## Trivia

* In 1982, Jimmy and the Mustangs released a completely unrelated song titled "*Let's Dance*."
* The white, mustached gentleman whom Pia dances with throughout this sequence is Dennon Rawles, the film's choreographer.

* Near the end of Pia's portion of the song, a woman briefly pops into the frame. In the widescreen version, she appears to be photo-bombing the shot, but in the open-matte version, it's evident that she's just a waywardly placed dancer.
* David Hasselhoff later recorded the song for his 1988 album "*Crazy for You*," which was produced by composer Jack White.

## Lyrics

I don't look far

To see all the dark places

Where a fantasy could hide from your heart

And here you are

Behind all of those faces

All the pieces of who you oughta be

The foreshadowing of a symphony, come on

Everyone to your places

Just a bird on the wings

There's nothing at stake but everything

Your light is gonna shine tonight

This time you're gonna make magic

Your time out on the vine was alright

But it's time to make wine out of it

Your light is gonna shine tonight

When it's right, then it's right, you know it is

Come shine a light on, shine a light on

So here you are

On the brink of your intention

Set a course, you set your gaze to the stars

You've been too long

In suspended animation

In a cryogenic statement, alright

It's a future that doesn't have to be, come on

Everyone to your places

There's nothing at stake but everything

Your light is gonna shine tonight

This time you're gonna make magic

Your time out on the vine was alright

But it's time to make wine out of it

Your light is gonna shine tonight

When it's right, then it's right, you know it is

Come shine a light on, shine a light on

Your light is gonna shine tonight

This time you're gonna make magic

Your time out on the vine was alright

But it's time to make wine out of it

Your light is gonna shine tonight

When it's right, then it's right, you know it is

Come shine a light on, shine a light on

Shine a light on

Everyone to your places

Just a bird on the wings

Shine a light on

Your light is gonna shine tonight

This time you're gonna make magic

Your time out on the vine was alright

But it's time to make wine out of it

Your light is gonna shine tonight

Your light is gonna shine tonight

Your light is gonna shine tonight

Your light is gonna shine tonight

Come shine a light on, shine a light on

The kids were lined on both sides of the street

Slicked back hair and blue suede on their feet

Don't walk out

Openhearted

Dream on in silent night

Don't wake up

Unguarded

In love

Hold on tight

Unfolding

Your life

So young

Golden teens

You only

Have time

For love

Or so it seems

Sad day

She stays

Openhearted

She plays

She stays

Openhearted

Sleep on stranger

In your arms

Unfolding night

Have no fear

From me tonight

Crash landing

Your heart

So loud

No one hears

You crying

No sound

Let go

A thousand tears

Sad day

She stays

Openhearted

She plays

She stays

Openhearted

Sleep on stranger

In your arms

Unfolding night

Have no fear

From me tonight

Sad day

She stays

Openhearted

She plays

She stays

Openhearted

Sad day

She stays

Openhearted

She plays

She stays

Staring Through the Rain

**Staring Through the Rain** is a 2018 single by RHEMA. The cover features images of Marc Jackson and Jeffrey Casey in *Rock Aliens.*

## Video

The music video consists of a montage of scenes from Herk Harvey's 1962 cult classic *Carnival of Souls*, which concerns a woman who finds herself disassociated from reality and haunted by specters after emerging from a lake in a tragic car accident. The film notoriously inspired George A. Romero's *Night of the Living Dead*.

```

```

## Lyrics

They say we are a masterpiece

Made in an image of our own

Eight billion tiny miracles

Infesting everywhere and call it home

It's no wonder I feel lost sometimes

I search for fossils of the soul

I chip away at all the asphalt

Only impressions

Only bone

You can't always know what to say or do

And that lost look in the mirror looks good on you

I feel like a black cat on a windowsill

Just staring through the rain, just staring through

You can't always know how to think or feel

Gonna drift on motions from what is real

Feel like a black cat on a windowsill

Just staring through the rain, just staring through

You told me that I think too much

In my room without a view

But I don't see patterns in the chaos

I wish I could see more like you

I've lost my sense of compass

The needle spins out of its course

There's a beauty to this madness

Some comfort to the curse

You can't always know what to say or do

And that lost look in the mirror looks good on you

I feel like a black cat on a windowsill

Just staring through the rain, just staring through

You can't always know how to think or feel

Gonna drift on motions from what is real

Feel like a black cat on a windowsill

Just staring through the rain, just staring through

Just staring through the rain, just staring through

That loco calamity

There's no healing rain pouring down on me

I see fractures in humanity

And I'll the price

You'll pay the price

We all pay the price

While you search for Christ

Hey-hey

Just staring through the rain

You can't always know what to say or do

And that lost look in the mirror looks good on you

I feel like a black cat on a windowsill

Just staring through the rain, just staring through

You can't always know how to think or feel

Gonna drift on motions from what is real

Feel like a black cat on a windowsill

Just staring through the rain, just staring through

Just staring through the rain

Staring through the rain

How Did This Get Made?

**How Did This Get Made?** is a popular podcast hosted by actors/writers/comedians Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas in which the trio (and guests) discuss cult movies. None of the hosts had heard of *Voyage of the Rock Aliens* when they set out to cover it, but they all exuberantly loved it and spent an hour singing its praises while trying to untangle the plot for listeners.

The January 2022 podcast and its February 3 "minisode" follow-up provided the film with its biggest promotional push of all-time, which boosted the movie to 1,795 on IMDb Pro's statistical MovieMeter.

## Lyrics

Daddy looks down through the water in his eyes

On his son in the family cradle

And he'll cry even more

When his son walks out the door

But such is the passing of time

Grandmother's eyes, warm and soft as lullabies

As they sing from a heart, ever dancing

Seasoned by tears, here in her autumn years

Enjoying the passing of time

And time waits for no one

Easy go, easy come

And picks up the ones left behind

And time finds your heroes

Who smell every rose

Right up to the end of the line

As a child in my room

Under blankets of gloom

All tucked in with a heart

Full of anger

Cuz a questioning tongue

Has no place from the young

I will wait for the passing of time

And time waits for no one

Easy go, easy come

And picks up the ones left behind

And time finds her heroes

Who smell every rose

Right up to the end of the line

A poem holds a phrase

Like my life holds each day

Never one less be loved than the other

And with each hopeful line

Though I'm sure to lose the rhyme

It is found in the passing

In enjoying the passing

It is all in the passing

Of time

## Lyrics

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Why'd you have to do that?

Why, oh, why?

Why, oh, why?

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Why'd you have to do that?

Why, oh, why?

Why, oh, why?

Why am I the one

To take on this fate?

Feels like it chose me

Right out of the gate

But I don't know if I'm up to it

Not sure I'm the type

Are you sure when you found me

That you got it right?

You might have chose me

But you don't own me.

What could you possible see in me?

Why did you choose me?

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Tell me why.

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Why'd you have to do that?

Why, oh, why?

Why, oh, why?

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Why'd you do that?

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Why'd you have to do that?

Why, oh, why?

I heard what you said

And what you expect

Is there a choice in the matter?

Do you think flattery looks like respect?

The suit didn't suit me

So don't mess with my head.

By the time this is over

The exposure will probably find me dead.

I only got around

To hear one word I said

Then I'll ask you instead

Tell me why, tell me why

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Tell me why.

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Why'd you have to do that?

Why, oh, why?

Why, oh, why?

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Why'd you do that?

Why'd you have to do that to me?

Why'd you have to do that?

Why, oh, why?

Why, oh, why?

Oooooh.

Why'd you have to do that?

Why, oh, why?

Why, oh, why?...

## Lyrics

Uh-oh, here comes mean old Jack

You'd better watch your step

Now don't turn your back, oh no

He's got a mean streak a mile wide

You better run

You better hide

He's clever

He's sly

He's ready to blow

I can see it

See it

See it

See it in his eyes

This might be very dangerous

I think we'd better turn it around, oh yeah

This might be very dangerous

I think we'd better turn it

Turn it around

Uh-oh, here comes crazy Jane

She's got a wicked tongue

She'd got hell in her brain, oh yeah

She heats it up so it's nice and hot

So when you take the plunge

You're in for quite a shock

She's clever

She's sly

She's ready to blow

I can see it

See it

See it

See it in her eyes

This might be very dangerous

I think we'd better turn it around, oh yeah

This might be very dangerous

I think we'd better

Turn it

Turn it around

This might be very dangerous

I think we'd better turn it around, oh yeah

This might be very dangerous

I think we'd better turn it

Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it,

Turn it around

Turn it

Turn it around

This might be very dangerous

I think we'd better turn it around, oh yeah

This might be very dangerous

I think we'd better turn it around, oh yeah

This might be very dangerous

Uh-huh, this might be very dangerous

This might be very dangerous

This might be very dangerous

Uh-huh, this might be very dangerous

Voyage of the Rock Aliens Wiki

**Welcome to the Voyage of the Rock Aliens Wiki!**

**Voyage of the Rock Aliens** (VOTRA) is a 1984 musical comedy vehicle for actress Pia Zadora and the 1980s bands RHEMA and Jimmy and the Mustangs.

The plot concerns a group of aliens (RHEMA) who are beckoned to earth by its out-of-this-world sounds. They arrive in the town of Speelburgh, where the leader (Tom Nolan) comes between precocious Dee Dee (Pia) and her angry boyfriend Frankie (Craig Sheffer), whose gang (the Mustangs) locks horns with these weirdos. Meanwhile, two homicidal maniacs have escaped from a local asylum, and a tentacled sea monster is quietly invading the town.

The movie was a major hit in Germany, and it received some exposure on European television, but it remained largely unknown in the USA until the 21st century. Over time, it's gradually picked up steam as a cult movie, which prodded members of RHEMA to revive their act, and following a 2022 featured episode on the popular podcast How Did This Get Made?, the film was finally issued on Blu-Ray in the USA -- its first American home video release since 1988.

Charles Hairston

**Charles Hairston** is a co-writer and co-producer of Voyage of the Rock Aliens.

## Biography

The following bio is taken from the film's press kit. The projects mentioned in the final paragraph seem to have stalled in development.

> Charles Hairston co-wrote Voyage of the Rock Aliens and is also one of the film's co-producers. Hairston, a consultant to Inter Planetary Productions at the time, was convinced of the project when he mentioned the title to his five year-old son Jason. "My son dropped the phone laughing hysterically," quips Hairston, "I knew we were on to something special."
>
>
> Hairston's extensive background includes work in features, television and the exploding new world of cable. After earning a B.A. in management from the Hunter College in New York in 1971, Hairston began his career as an NBC page. He remembers, "That was the first time I was ever paid for writing; I used to earn $8 a joke from Joan Rivers." Quickly working his way through the corporate structure, Hairston held a series of financial and administrative positions until 1977, when he became director of feature films and feature development for the network. In 1978, he left NBC to become Vice President of Programs for Showtime Entertainment, where he was responsible for the acquisition of feature films, on air promotion and editing of the monthly program guide.
>
>
> Hairston left his post at Showtime to pursue more creative outlets and so he has. He wrote the original story for "For Ladies Only," an NBC movie of the week. And in a producer capacity, he has been responsible for five musical plays for MCA Pay Television, done in conjunction with the Minneapolis Childrens Theatre Company. Hairston sees "Rock Aliens" as "a film that finds its roots in basic comedic formulas, sight gags and slapstick absurdity, which, enhanced by contemporary music will appeal to the theatrical audience -- 80% of which is between 12 and 25."
>
>
> With projects such as "Memoirs of a Married Woman" (executive producer) and "Special Delivery" (writer/producer) on the immediate horizon, Hairston is pleased to be able to participate in every level of the production. His experience as a co-writer/co-producer on "Rock Aliens" represented some of the most fun he's ever had, "It's a little like getting paid to do the things you got in trouble for at school."

## Lyrics

### 1980s version

You live your life in another time

Refusing to see just where you are

Your hopes and dreams are all you hold onto

Put your past to your back

Don't rely on that distant star

I'm living for today

The past has gone away

Tomorrow may never come

I can't imagine why

You'd ever want to try

To see

See tomorrow

When I was young, I had so many dreams

But they all kept fading, fading away

Well now my life is such a mystery to me

But I live for today and I know there's a bright new way

I'm living for today

The past has gone away

Tomorrow may never come

I can't imagine why

You'd ever want to try

To see

See tomorrow

Oh, I'm living for today

The past has blown away

Tomorrow may never come

I can't imagine why

You'd ever want to try

To see

See tomorrow

I'm living for today

I'm living for today

I'm living for today

I'm living for today

I'm living for today...

### 2008 Version

You live your life in another time

Refusing to see just where you are

Your hopes and dreams are all you hold onto

Put your past to your back

Keep your eye on that distant star

I'm living for today

The past has blown away

Tomorrow may never come

I can't imagine why

You'd ever want to try

To see

See tomorrow

When I was young, I had so many dreams

But they all kept fading, fading away

But now my life is such a mystery to me

If I live for today, then I know there's a bright new way

I'm living for today

The past has blown away

Tomorrow may never come

I can't imagine why

I'd ever want to try

To see

See tomorrow

I'm living for today

The past has blown away

Tomorrow may never come

I can't imagine why

You'd ever want to try

To see

See tomorrow

Living for today

Living for today

Living for today

Why do they run?

Where is it they go?

Are they having much fun?

Oh, I don't think so.

And why do they fret?

Why do they worry away?

If pain and grief's all you get,

Then what's it all worth anyway?

Why do they run?

Where is it they go?

Are they having much fun?

Oh, I don't think so.

Living for today

Living for today...

## Lyrics

Money talks

Bullshit walks

That's what you once said to me

But now my ship is comin' in

And look who wants to walk with me

You're much too little too late

Cuz I was never enough

So get a load of that empty plate

It's that thing that you called love

Gonna temper these words as hate

Cuz there's nothing more in me than apathy

And even that's too much from me

Too much, too little, too late

Do or die

Sink or swim

I walk the plank into your sea

But I'm not dead

And I didn't drown

Look who needs the rescuing

Too much, too little, too late

Cuz I was never enough

Get a load of that empty plate

It's that thing that you called love

Gonna temper these words as hate

Cuz there's nothing more in me than apathy

And even that's too much from me

Too much, too little, too late

I'm not blank paper for you to write your life on

In between these lines, no

Not a rough diamond or clay

They say they'd hate you that way

Just give them time

Too much, too little, too late

Cuz I was never enough

Get a load of that empty plate

It's that thing that you call love

Gonna temper these words as hate

Cuz there's nothing more in me than apathy

And even that's too much from me

Too much, too little, too late

## Lyrics

After the silence

Something's coming

After the silence

I hear something new

I hear the drums

Out in the distance calling

I hear the drums

What do they say?

Wheels rolling on

And it feels like thunder

Laughing no more

At the sight of the great rotunda

It's the call of the great rotunda

Heed the call of the great rotunda

Rotunda!

Rotunda!

On the horizon

A shadow's falling

On the horizon

Versed arms open wide

One quick glance to the ground below

Out of balance, lost control

And look out

Watch it go

Rotunda!

Wheels rolling on

And it feels like thunder

Laughing no more

At the sight of the great rotunda

It's the call of the great rotunda

Heed the call of the great rotunda

It's the call of the great rotunda

Heed the call of the great rotunda

Rotunda

Rotunda

Rotunda

Rotunda

Wheels rolling on

And it feels like thunder

Laughing no more

At the sight of the great rotunda
The World Is So Small

## Lyrics

Oh-oh-ohh

Is what it's like to just be human

And to embrace the worlds we've chosen to let in

But lost til we begin

To see more than our own choosing

And that this tiny world needs heroes back again

Oh-oh-oh

We know the words to hold compassion in our gaze

Find our way out of the maze and be the sun

The world's so small, don't let it fall now

Wrap your arms around the earth, give it love for all its worth

You're big enough

It's in our nature, hear it calling

Wrap your arms around the earth, give it love for all its worth

We know too well all that divides us

We've even worn it like a crest on bloody shields

And swore to never yield

But we all die to save our children

But when there's nothing left to save them from

You can ask yourself, What have I done?

Oh-oh-oh

We know the words to hold compassion in our gaze

Find our way out of the maze and be the sun

The world's so small, don't let it fall now

Wrap your arms around the earth, give it love for all its worth

You're big enough

It's in our nature, hear it calling

Wrap your arms around the earth, give it love for all its worth

You're strong enough

The world's so small, don't let it fall now

Wrap your arms around the earth, give it love for all its worth

You're big enough

It's in our nature, hear it calling

Wrap your arms around the earth, give it love for all its worth

You're big enough

Oh-oh-oh!

The world is so small, don't let it fall

We turn at a crawl

We don't hear it all

We have to tear down the ancient wall

That divide us and hide us from what we're capable of dealing with some love

We focus on the problem and not on what we have, problem

We wanna love and be loved but not the that flesh that embalmed in the song (???)

Not been the first

Won't be the last to share the letter of love

Despite the sins of our past

The world is so small, don't let it fall

The world is so small

The world is so small, don't let it fall

Wrap your arms around the earth

The world is so small, don't let it fall

The world is so small

The world is so small, don't let it fall

Wrap your arms around the earth

You're big enough

## Lyrics

In the darkened streets

The moonlight meets

The stranger

In the midnight heat

Her cold heart beats

For danger

She walks alone, footsteps follow close behind

She hears the whisper of the stranger in her mind

I've got to find that secret information

Suspense is killing me, killing me, killing me, oh

I've got to find that secret information

Could it be the secret lies within her heart?

When the night wind blows

The shadow knows

Of her danger

(Danger)

When I hold her near

I sense the fear

Of the stranger

(Stranger)

She walks alone, footsteps follow close behind

But still the whisper of the stranger haunts her mind

I've got to find that secret information

Suspense is killing me, killing me, killing me, oh

I've got to find that secret information

Could it be the secret lies within her heart?

She walks alone, footsteps follow close behind

She hears the whisper of the stranger in her mind

I've got to find that secret information

Suspense is killing me, killing me, killing me, oh

I've got to find that secret information

Could it be the secret lies within her heart?

In her heart?

In her heart?

In her heart?

I've got to find that secret information

Suspense is killing me, killing me, killing me

I've got to find that secret information

Suspense is killing me, killing me, killing me

I've got to find that secret information

Suspense is killing me
