Tonight is What it Means to Be Young

I've got a dream 'bout an angel on the beach
And the perfect waves are starting to come
His hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
And his touch has got the power to stun
I've got a dream 'bout an angel in the forest
Enchanted by the edge of a lake
His body's glowing in the jewels of light
And the earth below him's starting to shake

But I don't see any angels in the city
I don't hear any holy choirs sing
And if I can't get an angel
I can still get a boy
And a boy'd be the next best thing
The next best thing to an angel
A boy'd be the next best thing

I've got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle
And he's dancing like a cat on the stairs
He's got the fire of a prince in his eyes
And the thunder of a drum in his ears
I've got a dream 'bout a boy on a star
Looking down upon the realm of the world
He's there all alone and dreaming of someone like me
I'm not an angel but at least I'm a girl

I've got a dream when the darkness is over
We'll be lying in the rays of the sun
But it's only a dream and tonight is for real
You'll never know what it means
But you'll know how it feels
It's gonna be over (over)
Before you know it's begun
(Before you know it's begun)

It's all we really got tonight
Stop your crying hold on (tonight)
Before you know it it's gone (tonight)
Tonight is what it means to be young
Tonight is what it means to be young

Let the revels begin
Let the fire be started
We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted
Let the revels begin
Let the fire be started
We're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted
Let the revels begin...(Tonight is what it means to be young...)
Let the fire be started...(Before you know it it's gone...)
We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted
Let the revels begin
Let the fire be started
We're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted

Say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come
No matter what it seems
Tonight is what it means to be young
Before you know it it's gone
Tonight is what it means to be young
Before you know it it's gone

I've got a dream when the darkness is over
We'll be lying in the rays of the sun
But it's only a dream and tonight is for real
You'll never know what it means
But you'll know how it feels
It's gonna be over (over)
Before you know it's begun

It's all we really got tonight
Stop your cryin' hold on (tonight)
Before you know it it's gone (tonight)
Tonight is what it means to be young
Tonight is what it means to be young...

The things they say
And then the things they do
Nothin's gonna stop us if our dream is true...



Nowhere Fast

You're lying in your bed on a Saturday night
You're sweating buckets and it's not even hot
But your brain has got a message and it's sending it out
To every nerve and every muscle you got
You got so many dreams that you don't know where to put them
So you better turn a few of them loose
You're body's got a feeling that it's starting to rust
You better rev it up and put it to use

And I don't know how I ever thought that I could make it all alone
When you only make it better
And it better be tonight
And we'll fly away on those angel wings
That broke your Daddy's heart
We'll be there for you tonight
I'll be there for you tonight -
Even if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
Even if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
And your speed
That's all you'll ever need
All you'll ever need to know - darling, darling

You and me we're going nowhere slowly
And we gotta getta way from the past
There's nothing wrong with going nowhere baby
But we should be going nowhere fast
Everybody's going nowhere slowly
They're only fighting for a chance to be last
There's nothing wrong with going nowhere baby
But we should be going nowhere fast
It's so much better going nowhere fast

Stalking in the shadows by the light of the moon
It's like a prison and the night is a cell
Going anywhere that's gonna be heaven tonight
‘Cause staying here's gonna be hell
You're dying in the city like a bar on the water
Let's go running on the back of the wind
There's gotta be some action on the face of the earth
And I gotta see your face once again
And I don't know where I ever got the bright idea that I was cool
So we're alone and independent
But I'm dependent on you now
And you'll always be the only thing that I just can't be without
And I'm out for you tonight
I'm coming out for you tonight

Even if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
Even if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
And your speed
That's all you'll ever need
All you'll ever need to know
Darling, darling
You and me we're going nowhere slowly
And we gotta getta way from the past
There's nothing wrong with going nowhere baby
But we should be going nowhere fast
Everybody's going nowhere slowly
They're only fighting for a chance to be last
There's nothing wrong with going nowhere baby
But we should be going nowhere fast

God speed, God speed, God speed, speed us away
God speed, God speed, God speed, speed us away
God speed, God speed, God speed, speed us away
We're going nowhere fast, God speed
We're going nowhere fast, God speed
We're going nowhere fast, God speed, speed us away . . .

I usually ignore lyrics posts on general principle, but that album/soundtrack kicks *so* much ass.

Heh, I agree :)
