@ALBUM: astra Artist: Asia @SONG: Go Dig for victory, go for gold I don't wanna die before I get old And I wonder where I'm going to There's some way out, there's some way through But I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm down again My direction is changing, which way, Which way can I go...... Get up and go You start me up, you slow me down No one can deny, you get around When you're hot, you're cold, you're in between I keep asking myself, what does it mean? And I walk that tightrope, you should know I'm losing my balance, maybe, Maybe I should go Get up and go Face to face in sympathy But now you turn your back on me Turn a card and win, but you may lose Fate has only that right to choose If you're right, leave me here, I'll die alone You've got the time, you've just got time You've got the time just go..... Get up and go Go Just go..... @SONG: Voice of America I heard you on the radio Some other time From some forgotten studio Way down the line So long, so long I've waited now To hear you again That song, that song will still remain It's become an old friend And now, the tears are in my eyes The sound you can't disguise The truth comes back from lies And all I want to hear Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America And then you came in stereo Calling to me And so I watch the videos Across the T.V. That sound, still ringing in my ears From a decade ago Around, around my head, the sound from my radio I thought, that after all these years The tears, the growing fears That I would never hear Never again Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America @SONG: Hard on Me A secret smile Comes to my eyes like a bolt from the blue It's not your style But it leads me to dream about what we could do Could it be the same (Could it be the same) Ever be the same (When I call your name) Could it be the same Ever the same again? It's hard on me And I know nothing comes easy But it's hard on you Believe me, baby it's hard on me A trick of light Your face in the shadows alone in the night You're in my sights All I've been thinking I that it's right See you standing there (See you standing there) Magic in the air (Magic in the air) Now the smoke has cleared Time has disappeared It's hard on me But you know nothing comes easy But it's hard on you I need you, always believe me Could it be the same (Could it be the same) Ever be the same (When I call your name) Could it be the same Ever the same again? It's hard on me But I know nothing comes easy But it's hard on you I need you, always believe me It's hard on me But you know nothing comes easy But it's hard on you I've hurt you before Now please don't make it hard on me @SONG: Wishing Wishing, hoping How can I keep coping? Till I know your wish is to be with me You go, I know You were the one who told me so I'm wishing you lying in my arms again Sad, so sad It's written across my face My tears leave no trace They fall and disappear Mad, so mad Leaving you on your own Your right to disown me Will always be so clear Wishing, so long How can I keep holding on? While missing you, wishing you home again Sad, so sad It's written across my face My tears leave no trace They fall and disappear Mad, so mad Leaving you on your own Your right to disown me Will always be so clear Wishing..... Wishing, so long How can I keep holding on? When this song is wishing you home again @SONG: Rock and Roll Dream Rock and roll dream Not what it seems Who is the dreamer now? When I see the faces from the limousine No chance of our survival Armed forces, the guardians of the law Awaiting our arrival They all are young We all were young And I've seen this place before Open up the door Let us in All the things I've seen Words I said, I didn't mean Feelings, I took for granted But now reality One thing we could never see Everything, we always wanted They all are young We all were young And I've seen this place before Open up the door Let us in Rock and roll dream Not what it seems Who is the dreamer now? Rock and roll dream Not what it seems Who is the dreamer now? If I had the choice Words came through my voice I should have left unspoken Now it's obvious Clear to all of us The dream that now is broken Take the stage tonight Go face the lights With this image you should keep But you're crying in your sleep Tonight Rock and roll dream Not what it seems Who is the dreamer now? @SONG: Countdown to Zero The night is cold, the sun is down I see faces through the wire No chance for them No shoulder left to cry on It's 4 am out on the street Through the smoke I see the fire It's a funeral pyre For them to die on Countdown to zero Just begun Countdown to zero It's time to start the run The city lights are fading now As I climb into the plane To shield me from The stinging acid rain And this is it, it's over now As we taxi down Runway One Tell me please You'll wake me when it's over Countdown to zero Just begun Countdown to zero It's time to start the run Do you realize what's happening in Western Europe? Norway, Finland, Scotland, England We'll be the first to go Don't do it Countdown to zero Just begun Countdown to zero It's time to start the run Don't do it Don't do it Don't start the countdown to zero We want to live We want to live We will live You've got your finger on the trigger Take it off Let it go Let it pass Let it go @SONG: Love Now Till Eternity Now, the party's over It's you and I, just you and I Now, the guests have gone It's one on one, just one on one Which way now will the eagle fly? Tell me how will the stars shine in the sky Love now till eternity Shooting for the moon To put your hand in mine and say I vow to stay with you Love now till eternity Shooting for the moon To put your hand in mine and say I vow to stay with you You, you are my life And so I give, all that I can All, all that is left That you are woman, and I am man Which way now will the eagle fly? Tell me how will the stars shine in the sky Love now till eternity Shooting for the moon To put your hand in mine and say I vow to stay with you Love now Love now till eternity @SONG: Too Late I say, no way You've gone and stepped across that fine line I cried, you lied I tried, maybe a thousand times before I can't take no more Too late You let the sun go down Too late You changed direction Too late For you to turn around We tried everything Move on, so long Too sides, to every story You told: Good nights, Bad days, time to go our separate ways I can't say no more Too late You let the sun go down Too late You changed direction Too late For you to turn around We tried everything Too late You let the sun go down Too late You changed direction Too late For you to turn around We tried everything Too late, too late @SONG: Suspicion Where were you yesterday? I called you up No one answered The phone rings now All the time I pick it up No one answers I know it seems like I just can't go ahead Sometimes it's like holding a gun to my head I get the green light but I still see red Something I can't stand Suspicion Suspicion In the park, yesterday I saw a face that spelled danger A friendly smile, a worried look I mistook for a stranger I keep on fighting and I know I can't win Something's biting me I'll never give in Coming back to me again and again The message in my hand Suspicion Suspicion Eating away at me, it won't let go Suspicion is following, everywhere I go He walks before me, he's someone that I don't know Suspicion Suspicion Where were you yesterday? Where will you be tomorrow? @SONG: After the War For those that are able To go underground Missiles disenable They hit faster than sound They're coming and you have no choice The helpless with one human voice That will categorically say This underdog will have his day One more dead is one more than it ought to be A travesty One more missed will be kissed to eternity Or purgatory After the war Red button he's pressing But he knows not why He's programming orders War lights up the sky He's on the hotline tonight His mind is high as a kite His fingers decide wrong or right This man has it all in his sights Used as tools to believe in autonomy Minorities are no more Men are fools, one last cry to humanity No sanity any more After the war On my arm, a tatoo for my sons to be That numbers you and me There's a scar on my face That is photographed for all to see After the war (transcribed by Jerry Jordak, jwj2@po.cwru.edu)
