Space Age Love Song
Cyco cyco cyco cyco
Born cyco it's the way I was meant to be
Live cyco it's the only life for me
Burning burning burning burning
Burning burning burning burning
Burning up can't you see
But it's the only life for me
I'm burning up, the fire blazes inside
Out of control, so now you better hide
Run around the corner
But the corner never ends
You scream out, beg, shout
But the nightmare never ends
You turn around but you just see
What you saw before
Spin around, fall down
Now you see no more
Raging raging raging raging<

INTRO
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Though he loves his mate
Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop
Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
Don't look at me, sweetheart, with scorn in your eyes
Been out all night, gonna tell you no lies
Stopped in one place, heard them singin' a song
Like a lonely sparrow, started singin' along
Just singin' (GUY AND BACKUP SINGERS TOGETHER)
(Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop)
(Though he loves his mate)
(Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop)
Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
In walked a blonde and, dear, she asked me to dance
I told that blonde that there wasn't a chance
I love my kids and my beautiful wife
That's the honest truth, dear, and I swear by my life
-GUY AND FEMALE SINGERS SING (Sparrow in the treetop,
sparrow in the treetop Though he loves his mate, Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow
in the treetop, Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late)
while MALE SINGERS sing
There's things I am sweetheart, and things that I ain't
'cause I'm a man and a man is no saint
Won't you forgive 'cause I'm tellin' you true
I was in the tavern only thinkin' of you
Just singin' (GUY AND BACKUP SINGERS TOGETHER)
(Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop)
(Though he loves his mate)
(Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow in the treetop)
Scared of goin' home because it's too darn late
(Just singin')-GUY AND FEMALE SINGERS SING (Sparrow in the treetop,
sparrow in the treetop Though he loves his mate, Sparrow in the treetop, sparrow
in the treetop, Scared of goin' home because it's TOO DARN LATE!!)
while MALE SINGERS sing
