September
Do you remember the 21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night
Remember how the stars stole the night away
Hey hey hey
Ba de ya, say do you remember?
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day
Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love
Remember how we knew love was here to stay
Now December found the love we shared in September
Only blue talk and love
Remember true love we share today
Hey hey hey

Serpentine Fire
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah
When I see your face like the morning sun you spark to shine
Tell all the world my need is fulfilled and that's a new design
Oh, as long as you're near there is no fear of a victory
But when I'm away influences stray my mind to disagree
Ah, wanna see your face in the morning sun ignite my energy
The cause and effect of you has brought new meaning in my life to me
Gonna tell the story morning glory all about the serpentine fire
Gonna tell the story morning glory all about the serpentine fire
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I need to see your face in the morning sun ignite my energy
The cause and effect of you has brought new meaning in my life to me
The moment I find when I'm inclined to do my best
Negative wins when I give in then I lose the test, not many times
Gonna tell the story morning glory all about the serpentine fire
Surely as life begun, you will as one, battle with the serpentine fire
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Surely as life begun, you will as one, battle with the serpentine fire
Surely as life begun, you will as one, battle with the serpentine fire

To the truth you can't run from
We are people, of the mighty
Mighty people of the sun
In our heart lies all the answers
To the truth you can't run from

Reasons
Now, I'm craving your body, is this real?
Temperatures rising, I don't want to feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real
Whoa, and I'm longing to love you, just for a night
Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
Please let me love you with all my might
Reasons, the reasons that we're here
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings won't disappear, oh
And after the love game has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all our reasons start to fade
La, la la la, la
La, la la, la
La, la la, la
La, la la, la
La, la la, la
La, la la, la
La, la la, la
After all our reasons why (all our reasons why)
All our reasons were a lie (all our reasons were a lie)
After all ours reasons love
Love was left aside (love)
I'm longing to love you for one night
Please let me love you with all of my might, baby
Ooh, baby
Yeah, reasons, the reasons that we're here
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings won't disappear (they won't disappear)
And after the love games has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade
And, in the morning when I rise
No longer feeling hypnotized
Find our reasons, our reasons, our reasons
Had no pride
After all our reasons why (after all the reasons why)
All our reasons were a lie (all of our reasons were a lie)
After all ours reasons love (oh)
Love was left aside (love)

Boogie Wonderland
Dance, boogie wonderland

Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman who has laid too many bets

After The Love Has Gone
For a while, to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew, and our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For a while we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Every night somethin' right
Would invite us to begin the dance
Somethin' happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Somethin' happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?
For a while to love each other
With all we would ever need
Love was strong for so long
Never knew that what was wrong
Baby, wasn't right
We tried to find what we had
'Til sadness was all we shared
We were scared this affair
Would lead our love into
Somethin' happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
Somethin' happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Somethin' happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh, oh, oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
After the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh oh, oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
We were young and we knew, and our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For a while we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last

Getaway
Get away
Let's leave today
Let's get away
So you say you've tried, but just can't find the pleasure
People around you are giving you pressure
Try to resist, all the hurt that's all around you
If you taste it, it will haunt you
So come, take me by the hand, we'll leave this troubled land
I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
Get away (yeah)
Let's leave today
Let's get away (what ya, what ya, what ya, what ya know?)
What ya, what ya, what ya, what ya know?
Watch for the signs, they lead in the right direction
Not to heed them is a bad reflection
They'll show you the way to what you have been seeking
To ignore them, you're only cheating
So come, take me by the hand, we'll leave this troubled land (you betta come)
Why don't you get away? Get away (oh yeah)
Lay awake at night till the sun comes up in the morning
Never excited, it all seemed boring
Make up your mind which way to go about it
Choose your road, just don't doubt it
So come, take me by the hand, we'll leave this troubled land (you betta come)
I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
Get away (would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya)
Let's leave today (would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya go?)
Let's get away (would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya)
Let's leave today
